Special effects: Saving the world starting from becoming a Zergling

On an ordinary day, the sun deflects rapidly, setting in the west until it disappears below the horizon.

After finishing her work, Yuuma pushed open the door of Sal Restaurant and looked at Kagami, who was cleaning inside, with surprise.

"As soon as he recovered from his injury, he came over on his own, saying he wanted to share my workload and make up for the losses caused by his absence these past few days."

Xiao Xu turned off the kitchen lights, yawned widely, and leaned against Youzhen, saying...

The restaurant was also closing time, and it was completely empty.

Yuzhen came to see Xiaoxu off after get off work.

His reason was that there had been a lot of strange things happening lately, and he was afraid that Xiao Xu might encounter some kind of accident.

Thinking of the previous accident and hearing Youzhen's righteous words, Xiaoxu agreed to his request.

Tendou, who was listening nearby, felt particularly awkward. He was willing to bet that Yuzhen was definitely harboring some bad intentions.

"Yuuma-san." Kagami, who was cleaning, looked up and greeted Yuuma, who had just arrived. His mental state had visibly improved.

"He must have seen his younger brother." Yuma didn't even need to think about it; at this point in time, this was probably the only thing that could make Kagami happy.

"Kagami, remember to turn off the lights and close the door after you finish cleaning the floor." Before leaving, Xiaoxu reminded Kagami, afraid that she would forget this in her haste.

"I understand, Xiaoxu and Youzhen, you can go now!" Kagami seemed a little absent-minded, with a silly smile on her face.

"See you tomorrow." Yuuma nodded, silently mourning for Kagami tomorrow.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, something unexpected will definitely happen tomorrow due to his actions.

After safely delivering Xiaoxu home, Youzhen headed towards the foot of Tokyo Tower.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Tendou made during the day; they were to meet at the foot of Tokyo Tower that night.

When he arrived at Tokyo Tower, the surroundings were completely silent, and there was no sign of Tendou. Only the Tokyo Tower, with its lights flashing, attracted Yuuma's attention.

"So beautiful..."

Although it wasn't the first time she had looked at Tokyo Tower at night, Yuma felt that she could appreciate its beauty even more when she was standing at the foot of Tokyo Tower.

"This is Tokyo Tower, the largest ground-level building in Tokyo."

Tendou's voice sounded behind Yuuma. He turned around and saw Tendou standing in the light, holding the Kabuto Insect Instrument in his palm.

"Another battle?" Yuuma smiled wryly. He would definitely refuse if Tendou asked him out at night next time! As long as he didn't agree, he wouldn't have to keep the promise!

"You can't get stronger without fighting."

The Heavenly Dao uttered a truth, inserted the insect device into its belt, and slowly covered itself with armor, obscuring its face and gaze beneath.

"Since we're going to fight, I won't back down." Knowing that his life wouldn't be in any danger, Yuzhen was no longer afraid to fight against the Heavenly Dao. His whole body wriggled and transformed into the shape of a strange insect.

This wasn't the first time Tendou had seen Yuuma's insect form, but he had never seen an insect as "beautiful" as Yuuma.

A streamlined body, limbs that look incredibly powerful, and a face covered in insect armor...

"Your body still holds immense potential; only through battle can it be fully unleashed."

Tiandao did not break through the armor, but took out his kunai spear from his waist and switched it to the axe side.

"Come on!" He beckoned to Yuzhen, signaling him to come over.

Knowing that he couldn't harm the Heavenly Dao, Yuzhen went all out in his fight.

Yuzhen's body tensed, transforming into a whirlwind as she rushed towards the Heavenly Dao.

Faced with this familiar move, Tendou was all too familiar with it. He easily dodged Yuuma's lunge.

However, Yuuma had already realized his shortcomings during several sparring sessions with Tendou.

He paused in mid-air, forcibly halting his forward momentum, and turned to pounce on the Heavenly Dao once more.

Tendou reacted even faster, shifting his weight downwards and delivering a powerful kick to Yuuma's face as he lunged forward.

Yuma crossed her arms to block Tendou's powerful kick, stopping her forward-leaning body from its descent.

If you get close to the Heavenly Dao and are still in a passive defensive state, don't blame the Heavenly Dao for taking drastic measures.

With the help of Yuuma's hands, Tendou performed a magnificent backflip and flew behind Yuuma. Without hesitation, he slashed at Yuuma's unsuspecting back with his sharp blade, creating a large amount of sparks.

"Hiss—" Yuzhen gasped, enduring the intense pain, and awkwardly bent down, causing the next axe strike from the Heavenly Dao to miss.

At this moment, Yuuma was completely exposed, and Tiandao took the opportunity to loosen his grip on the axe, caught it with his other hand, and struck Yuuma again.

After Yuzhen's body took two powerful blows, it exploded into a shower of sparks once again.

"I surrender!" The spineless Yuuma chose to give up without hesitation; he would never fight against the will of Heaven to the bitter end.

Last time I was almost killed, and even with the Zerg's body, it takes a lot of time to recover.

To contend with the will of Heaven, one only needs to recognize one's own shortcomings.

But Tendou seemed not to hear Yuuma's words. He casually threw away the kunai in his hand, raised his fist, and began to beat Yuuma on the ground.

"Heavenly Dao! No!"

Yuuma, who was being chased and attacked, could only try his best to arch his body to avoid being hit in some vital areas by Tendo.

Seeing Yuzhen covering her face tightly with her hands, and thinking about how Xiaoxu had been smiling at Yuzhen these past few days, Tiandao really couldn't hold back anymore.

"You're really annoying me."

Tiandao muttered to himself, then became even more ruthless, aiming all his attacks at Youzhen's face.

then--

In the pitch-black night, screams echoed intermittently from beneath Tokyo Tower, reminding passersby of the recent urban legends and sending chills down their spines as they fled the area.

When the police arrived to investigate, they found nothing under Tokyo Tower except for a stream of clear liquid flowing on the ground—it was Yuma's snot and saliva that had been sprayed out when she was beaten.

............

"Good morning!"

A person with their head wrapped in gauze walked into Sal and greeted Xiao Xu.

After carefully listening for a while, Xiaoxu finally recognized that it was Youzhen's voice.

She looked at Yuuma in surprise, then felt a pang of heartache.

"Yuma... what happened to you?" she couldn't help but ask, reaching out to poke the gauze on Yuma's face.

He seemed perfectly normal before we parted last night.

"Uh..." Yuzhen was a little reluctant to let Xiaoxu touch his swollen face. He looked resentfully at the culprit at the door.

Xiao Xu followed his gaze and turned around, seeing Tian Dao standing at the door with his arms crossed.

Seeing Xiaoxu's distressed expression towards Youzhen, Tiandao wanted to take a deep breath.

He felt he should have just killed Yuma last night.

"Good morning!"

The last person to arrive was Kagami, who was delayed by something at ZECT.

ZECT has set up a special task force to deal with the Zerg that attacked him, and he is in charge of it!

Although he currently has no subordinates, Kagami is still very happy.

Seeing Kagami's delight, Tendou glanced at Yuuma.

I wonder what Yuma will do to this idiot. I should go check on him.

He sighed, realizing that he desperately needed a teammate who could help him keep an eye on people.
