Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 256 Erasure!

Astraea followed Icarus's Uranus system, flying all the way to where the Uranus system entered the ocean. Astraea searched for Icarus's figure on the sea.

Astraea looked left and right, but couldn't find Icarus anywhere. "Senior Icarus, where are you?"

Just then, Astraea saw something emerging from the sea below. Once it was fully visible, Astraea realized it was the Uranus System's mechanical arm! There was a figure on the arm, and upon closer inspection, it was Icarus!

Astraea was shocked and shouted "Icarus-senpai!" before rushing over to take Icarus off the mechanical arm.

After delivering Icarus, the robotic arm slowly sank into the seabed and remained silent.

Icarus, carried on Astraea's shoulder, looked somewhat forlorn. Astraea kept her eyes fixed on the spot where the robotic arm had sunk. Suddenly, Icarus looked up and asked, with a complex expression, "Astrea."

"Hmm?" Astraea snapped out of her daze and looked at Icarus on her shoulder.

"Astraea, do you know what love is?"

"Huh?" Astraea was shocked. The word "love" was even more foreign to her.

"It's that, well, how should I put it, um..." Astraea answered Icarus's question in a garbled voice.

"I have no idea."

Seeing Icarus's dejected expression, Astraea didn't know what to do.

"I don't know what love is." Icarus closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm just like her." There was an unconcealable sadness in Icarus's voice.

Icarus opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"I really want to go see my master as soon as possible."

……

Now let's talk about Jing Chen's side.

Jing Chen helped Nymph to the tree and let her lean against it to rest. He then walked to the side, blocking Nymph's view, and summoned the Twenty-Four Guardian Angels.

"Master, what are your orders?"

The twenty-four guardian angels knelt on one knee and spoke in unison.

"Did you see that little girl just now? Kill her! Don't leave her any future trouble!" Jing Chen said sharply.

"yes!"

"Oh, right, and also, keep that thing in the sky under control, especially their leader, the Lord of the Sky. I'll deal with him soon," Jing Chen added.

"yes!"

After a single reply, the twenty-four guardian angels vanished into thin air. Looking up at the sky, Jing Chen's lips curled into a slight smile. "Don't keep me too bored, Lord of the Sky!"

……

It was that time of year again—the summer festival. All the fans had gathered at the nearby shrine for the summer festival. To be honest, Jing Chen used to really enjoy going to festivals, but for some reason, after arriving in the world of Heaven's Lost Property, he had absolutely no interest in them anymore.

Having learned from the experience of the last chaotic battle, Jing Chen had a feeling that this temple fair wouldn't be so easy. At the very least, that scheming woman, Mikako, would definitely not let Tomoki get away with it... Although it wasn't his business, Jing Chen really didn't want to participate in this kind of nonsense if he could avoid it.

"Alright, so what about this year's event details...?"

Everyone gathered in front of the nightclub owner's shop, staring at Mikako standing there. Jing Chen's lips twitched; he knew this year's temple fair...

"Ah, before that, girls, come over here." Mikako led all the girls present backstage, not knowing what she was going to do.

After leading all the girls backstage, Mikako came out again and said, "Now, let me reintroduce you to the remaining boys. This year's event is..."

At this point, a light suddenly shone behind Mikako. Upon closer inspection, a huge cylinder stood behind her, covered with flags. Mikako walked to the base of the cylinder and continued introducing the "Shake-and-Fire Showdown" to the remaining boys.

Jing Chen's lips twitched uncontrollably, completely stunned by the sight beneath the cylinder—a circular swimming pool! Combined with the memory of Mikako leading all the girls backstage, Jing Chen could already picture that scene.

The boys around them didn't understand what this activity was all about. But Jing Chen saw something particularly interesting: Zhi Shu was tightly bound with a rope, the other end of which was tied to a wooden stick. Looking at the whole thing, it actually resembled a fishing rod! And Zhi Shu had become the bait on that rod.

"Now I'll explain the rules," Mikako said, suddenly taking off her yukata to reveal her swimsuit underneath.

All the boys stared, their noses practically bleeding. After Mikako finished undressing, Tomoki asked blankly, "Um... why is the student council president wearing a swimsuit?"

"Sakurai-kun, what does 'yao yao' in 'yao yao qi ao' mean?" Mikako asked.

Upon hearing this, Jing Chen lost interest in listening any further and quietly left the venue.

Looking at the bustling hall behind him, Jing Chen sighed helplessly, and his angel wings instantly unfurled. He glanced up at the sky; Synapse had been under the control of the winged angels for some time now, and Jing Chen should go check on him.

With a flap of his wings, Jing Chen's speed instantly broke the sound barrier. In just a breath, he had arrived at Synapse. After locating his position, Jing Chen flew towards the core floating island.

As soon as he landed, two guardian angels appeared. One had white wings on its back, and the other had black wings. Upon seeing Jing Chen, both angels immediately knelt on one knee, saying, "Welcome, Master!"

Jing Chen nodded, gesturing for them to get up. Jing Chen asked, "How are things now?"

The black-winged angel said, "Reporting to the master, Synapse has been completely brought under control, and the situation is now stable."

Jing Chen nodded, then asked where the Lord of the Sky was. The white-winged angel replied, "The Lord of the Sky is inside; we have him under our control."

Jing Chen nodded, looking at the angels before him. Suddenly, an idea struck him. Pointing to the white-winged angel, he said, "From now on, you will be my left-wing guard, and your name will be Luo." Then, turning to the remaining black-winged angel, he said, "From now on, you will be my right-wing guard, and your name will be Xia."

"Yes!" Luo and Xia knelt down on one knee at the same time.

"Luo, the remaining eleven white-winged angels are yours to manage. Xia, the remaining eleven are yours to manage as well," Jing Chen said.

"Yes, Master!" Luo and Xia replied.

Although Jing Chen didn't need to worry about the loyalty of the twenty-four guardian angels, managing all twenty-four at once still gave him a headache. Since that was the case, why not find two captains? He could then manage those two captains, who would then take care of the remaining twenty-two, making things much easier for him.

Jing Chen led Luo and Xia into the hall, where they could see the Lord of the Sky sitting in the chair that symbolized the greatest power in Synapse. However, the Lord of the Sky was no longer as arrogant as before.

Upon seeing Jing Chen arrive, the Lord of the Void shuddered and immediately perked up.

Jing Chen snapped his fingers, and Luo brought over a chair. Jing Chen calmly sat down. The moment he sat down, the Lord of the Void stood up instantly, as if sitting down without Jing Chen's command was a grave offense!

"Don't be so nervous, sit down." Jing Chen stretched out a hand, gesturing for the Lord of the Sky to sit down.

Having received permission, the Lord of the Sky sat down with trepidation. The moment he sat down, the Lord of the Sky saw the six pairs of black and white wings behind Jing Chen. Seeing this astonishing number, the Lord of the Sky was once again shocked.

Jing Chen said, "I didn't come here for anything specific, I just wanted to chat with you."

"What...what do you want to talk about?" The Lord of the Sky was even having trouble speaking coherently; Jing Chen's powerful aura made it hard for him to breathe.

"I told you not to be nervous. I'm only here to ask two questions. I'll leave after you answer them," Jing Chen said.

The Lord of the Sky swallowed hard and asked, "What do you want to ask?"

"First, who gave you the right to bypass me and try to destroy my artificial angels?" Jing Chen's eyes suddenly sharpened as he looked at the Lord of the Sky.

"I...I..." The Lord of the Sky didn't know how to answer. At the time, the Lord of the Sky had only thought Jing Chen was a worthless worm, but now Jing Chen's identity...

"Okay, I already know the answer. Second question, I know you Synapse also have a medical artificial angel, right? What's its name again..." Jing Chen rested his chin on his hand, thinking carefully.

"Auregana," the Lord of the Sky hurriedly said, referring to the artificial angel.

Jing Chen nodded. "Yes, that's her name. Call her out."

"Yes, yes, yes." The Lord of the Sky quickly agreed, and then seemed to summon Oregana over through a means similar to telepathy.

When Aurejana arrived, she was shocked to see another person sitting brazenly before the Lord of the Sky. Behind this person stood two angels. She recognized them; they were the angels who had controlled Synapse within a single day!

Hearing the voice, Jing Chen turned around and looked at the person who had just entered. He had seen this artificial angel before. It was one of the angels he had seen when he came here with Shou Xing and Chu Yuan.

"Are you Oregana?" Jing Chen asked.

"Yes." Olegana dared not delay.

Jing Chen said, "Now I'm giving you two choices: one, come with me; two, stay here. However, if you stay here, it might be destroyed soon."

"I, I, I'll go with you," Aurejana said after a moment's thought, glancing at the Lord of the Sky.

Jing Chen nodded and extended his right hand. Jing Chen's meaning was clear: if they wanted to follow him, they should acknowledge him as their master.

Aurejana took a deep breath, removed the previous inscription, and re-inscribed with Jing Chen.

Jing Chen nodded, withdrew his hand, and looked at the Lord of the Sky above. "Yes, everything is fine now. Luo, Xia, take good care of Aurejana for me. As for Synapse's final fate, I'll deal with that later."

"yes!"

Luo and Xia agreed in unison, and Jing Chen immediately disappeared from the hall. Seeing Jing Chen leave, the Lord of the Sky finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo and Xia took Aurejana away, and at the same time instructed the two remaining angels in the hall to keep a close watch on the Lord of the Sky.
