Thank you for the invitation. He's in heaven now, he's become God.

But when she actually started fighting, she realized that her performance seemed to be the worst.

Ying has recovered most of her strength through the chat group during this period.

Her current strength is definitely no weaker than that of the previous Dekalapian; she is undoubtedly a top-tier fourth-order powerhouse.

Alice is now the third magician, so her strength goes without saying.

She alone, a pseudo-god who had just broken through to the third tier, seemed to be just there to make up the numbers...

"........."

This feeling of being a pendant while still being a pendant...

Miss Black Cat, who had been somewhat arrogant due to her recent breakthrough, instantly calmed down.

With the combined efforts of two deities and a false god, these seemingly intimidating hordes of undead were nothing but paper tigers, easily punctured and wiped out.

Now, all that's left is the battle between Wakaba Himeiro and Ariko.

Being at the same sixth rank, the difference between the two is actually not that great.

However, Wakaba Himeiro's combat experience and control over her own power are clearly far superior to Ariko, a true god who was forcibly elevated through the "Book of the Underworld"!

However, thanks to the "Book of the Underworld," Ariko was not at too much of a disadvantage.

Seeing that the undead below had been dealt with, Ariko became somewhat impatient.

Although Wakaba Himeiro seized the opportunity, she was injured in one blow.

However, she also used this opportunity to retaliate, repelling Wakaba Himeiro by sacrificing a portion of her power, and then decisively disappeared into the inner world, escaping the battlefield.

Faced with this, Wakaba Himeiro could only frown and land back on the ground.

"Boss Ruoye..."

"As expected of the 'Book of the Underworld' that can transcend life and death, it is indeed extraordinary..."

Wakaba Himeiro naturally knew what Kuroneko and the others wanted to ask, and spoke directly.

"Although that little girl is indeed no match for me..."

"...But if I want to keep her..."

"...It is indeed quite difficult!"

"Huh? Even the powerful Ruoye couldn't stop her..."

Upon hearing this, the black cat rubbed its temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"...This is really troublesome..."

"........."

The woman standing to the side, Teng Luzhui, remained expressionless and silent, her thoughts unreadable.

"Miss Touko, can you still sense the location of Miss Ariko?"

Mrs. Alice asked the question to Tsubaki beside her in a soft voice.

"...I don't know why...I can no longer sense Ariko's presence..."

After hearing Alice's question, Tōrozumi remained silent for a while, then gently shook his head, his gray eyes looking somewhat confused.

P.S.: Two chapters were completely cut off, I just couldn't write anymore, I'm exhausted...

Chapter 284: I Don't Want to Be Abandoned by My Master Again

"Then, Boss Ruoye, what should we do now?"

In the end, everyone turned their attention to Wakaba Himeiro.

After all, this person is second only to Yawei in the chat group.

"Let's start by restoring this place that has been corrupted by the underworld..."

In response, Wakaba Himeiro smiled and offered her opinion.

"...This should be quite important for that Miss Ariko."

"What if she shows up halfway and stops us?"

"You can give it a try..."

Although the suggestion seemed a bit far-fetched, Black Cat still said it.

Moreover, their goal was to prevent Ariko from transforming this world into the underworld, regardless of whether she would come out or not.

The task of dispelling the corruption and restoring the world naturally fell to Wakaba Himeiro.

After all, apart from her, Ying and the others didn't have that kind of strength.

As the ruler of the underworld, the "power" she wields is inherently related to the cycle of life and death.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have valued the "Book of the Underworld" so much.

With a relevant professional background, dealing with the corruption from the underworld is naturally quite easy.

However, during this process, Ariko showed no sign of stopping it.

Neither Wakaba Himeiro herself nor Kuroneko were surprised by this.

only……

"That's... the deathly aura of the underworld?"

They hadn't felt anything while in the world of the dead, but after the city returned to normal, they sensed a very distinct aura of the underworld in a certain place.

Although the original goal was not achieved, were there any unexpected gains?

After discussing it, the group decided to go and take a look.

Perhaps we can discover some clues related to Ariko?

only……

"this is……"

In the end, the group found a white bat lying in a corner.

"...A bat corrupted by death energy?"

Although they are fluffy bats, they have a strangely cute feel to them...

Realizing its own thoughts, the black cat quickly shook its head.

Has she been single for so long that even a bat looks handsome to her?

"Ying, don't touch it!"

Seeing the black cat crouching next to the bat, about to reach out and poke Ying with her finger, the black cat instinctively stopped her.

"Bats carry more than four thousand types of viruses, so touching them could be very dangerous!"

She learned this by chance during one of her events, and ever since then she has had a phobia of bats.

"Eh?"

Ying was indeed startled by the black cat's words, but she quickly recovered.

"With our capabilities, even if there's a virus, there shouldn't be any danger, right?"

"indeed……"

The black cat thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

"So this shouldn't have anything to do with Miss Ariko, right? Should we just stomp on her?"

Mrs. Alice said something dangerous with a smile on her face.

"Because bats and stuff... just looking at them is really unsettling..."

She explained her suggestion in this way.

"indeed……"

The black cat also agreed with Mrs. Alice's words.

In fact, most normal girls probably wouldn't like bats, right?

"...Anyway, he looks like he's about to die..."

Seemingly having heard Alice and the black cat's words, the bat lying dead on the ground managed to hop twice, as if to indicate that it could still be saved.

"........."

In the end, Ying put the bat away, seemingly wanting to take it back to Yahweh to see if he could find any clues.

After searching the city for a while, the group returned to the "Doll Room".

"They've finally left..."

Deep within the world, she discovered the "Book of the Underworld."

Ariko returned to the "Doll Room" after sensing the presence of Wakaba Himeiro and the others, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

As she recalled Deng Luzhui's words, her expression became somewhat complicated.

"Owner……"

The master she had been searching for finally appeared, and naturally she wanted to throw herself into the arms of the person she loved without hesitation.

but……

"I don't want to be abandoned by my master again..."

The girl's voice was like a piece of jade riddled with cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.

She didn't want to experience that feeling of losing everything in an instant again, so she...

Ariko's thoughts suddenly froze.

Speaking of which, when exactly were she and Tōrokushi abandoned by Yahweh?

Even her memories of her time with her "master" seem to be...

Moreover, there's also a connection between her and Takashiro...
