"Shhh..."

The soft footsteps startled Xiao Xu, who was crouching on the ground. When she looked up, that face, which was trying its best to smile, came into view again.

"I'm back……"

The physical pain had not completely subsided, and even her neck still felt like it was being squeezed and suffocating, but Yuma was still smiling.

"Where did you go just now? Why did you suddenly leave me all alone!"

Xiao Xu's suppressed emotions suddenly erupted, leaving You Zhen somewhat at a loss.

"I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to leave you alone." After a moment of silence, Yuma suddenly grinned.

"Want to walk together?" He extended his hand to Xiaoxu. "Now, I can take you home."

"You idiot, you're just like Kagami, that kind of moron!" Xiaoxu cursed at him, standing up from her squatting position.

Having neglected the injury on her leg for a long time, Xiaoxu gasped in pain again when she stretched.

"You're just as stupid, not even caring about the injury on your leg." Youzhen rode the bicycle that was leaning against the ground over, helped the trembling Xiaoxu up, and patted the back seat.

Xiao Xu snorted coldly, but still slowly sat down.

After all, if Yuzhen hadn't taken her home, it would have taken her quite a while to get home on her own, and her wounds might have reopened or something.

Yuzhen got into the car, carrying Xiaoxu, and slowly drove towards her home.

Just as the two were sweetly escorting each other home, on the other side—

"drink!"

bang bang bang!

Intense sparks flew across Kabuto's body, and the sudden attack sent him tumbling several times on the ground before he finally stood up.

"Another Zerg?" A brownish-yellow Zerg jumped out from the other side; it was he who had launched the sneak attack!

He looked at the two alien insects that were surrounding him, but his hands moved quickly.

"CLOCK UP!"

Everything around them slowed down instantly, while the brownish-yellow spider-like insects accelerated.

"I'll deal with you first!"

Seeing that the white spider-like insect was too weak to enter acceleration mode, Kabuto locked onto its target and quickly ran towards it.

The brownish-yellow insect naturally wouldn't give Kabuto that chance; it stood in front of the spider insect, facing Kabuto's attack.

The two exchanged only a few blows before Kabuto knocked the brownish-yellow spider insect to the ground.

"Roar!!! How can someone be this strong?"

The unwilling insect fired a sticky substance from its wrist, which Kabuto nimbly dodged by turning around.

"ONE!"

Kabuto placed one hand on the insect instrument and clenched the other into a fist, knocking the charging insect to the ground once again.

"TWO!"

The disheveled insect had just gotten up when it saw the Kabuto slowly turn around and turn its back to it!

It wouldn't let such a good opportunity slip by!

"THREE!"

"RIDER KICK!"

The mechanical sound was loud and enthusiastic. The Zerg had already rushed behind Kabuto, ready to swing its sharp blade.

The current converged from his waist to Kabuto's horns, and he turned and delivered a spinning kick that struck the insect's body.

"CLOCK OVER!"

"Bang!!!"

As the acceleration ended, the white spider-like insect was blasted away by the oncoming explosion and crashed heavily to the ground.

Meanwhile, Kabuto, engulfed in flames, had turned to face it.

The fear in his heart was amplified when he looked directly at the Kabuto. The insect dared not linger, and forced himself to activate his acceleration mode, quickly leaving into the distance.

"KABUTO!" Kagami arrived late on the headquarters motorcycle, took off his helmet, and couldn't help but call out Kabuto's name.

"Hmm?" This sound caught Kabuto's attention, and his gaze naturally fell on the red motorcycle.

So, Kagami, who had just gotten off the car, saw Kabuto, who hadn't said a word, walk past him, and rode off on the new motorcycle assigned by headquarters.

"Wait! That's not my car!"

Kagami, holding the helmet in her hands, stared in disbelief, trying to say something, but could only inhale the motorcycle's exhaust fumes.

"Oh no!" Kagami felt dizzy at the thought of losing his motorcycle. He didn't think Kabuto would return it!

Even Kagami, who had only met him a few times, could feel Kabuto's will to live and his pride.

It was an arrogance that looked down on everything; he was like the sun! The kind that required everyone to look up to him!

Meanwhile, Kabuto, who was chasing after the insects on his motorcycle, paid no attention to Kagami's thoughts. He was now single-mindedly focused on pursuing the insects ahead.

Even when weakened, the Zerg's strength surpasses that of any ordinary human. It leaps swiftly across the tops of various traffic lanes, attempting to shake off the Armored Beast behind it.

"Attire!"

Kabuto didn't give it any leeway. After getting dressed, he pulled out the kunai gun from his waist and unleashed a barrage of shots at the alien insect in mid-air.

A barrage of ammunition poured out, and the alien insects in mid-air had no time to dodge. They screamed and burst into sparks before crashing heavily to the ground, exploding into eerie flames with a loud bang.

"Done." Seeing the Zergling dead, Kabuto quickly rode away from the scene on his motorcycle.

"I parked the car downstairs. You should get some rest." Yuzhen pushed the girl into the room and took a few steps back.

"I have other things to do, so I'll get some rest today." He smiled and quickly disappeared from Xiao Xu's sight.

Xiao Xu didn't have time to ask anything and had no choice but to go into the room.

"Why are these guys all so secretive?" Thinking of the man who punched Yuma for no reason, and Kagami who was always in a hurry for no reason, Xiaoxu collapsed onto the bed and picked up the painting she was still working on.

Looking at the unfinished painting above—

"Keep it up, Xiao Xu!"

Yuzhen, who had just left, collapsed to the ground in agony not far away, struggling for a long time before being unable to get up.

"It seems I misjudged the extent of the injury..." He stretched out a hand and rubbed his chest and abdomen.

A burning pain began to spread, making him unable to move his entire body.

The spider-like insect was incredibly strong, much stronger than Yuujin was now. He was so weak that he didn't seem like an insect that had molted at all.

"I must start training as soon as I get back today!"

His face was touching the ground, and he remained in that position, quietly contemplating.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from his blind spot to his face, startling Yuzhen.

"Who are you?"

He looked up and saw a dazzling face.

"Do you still want to lie on the ground like this, all pathetic?" Seeing that Yuu wasn't helping, Tendou slowly withdrew his hand.

"Wait!" A hand reached out and grabbed Tiandao's hand, using the force to straighten his body.

How did you know I was here?

"As an alien insect, you certainly wouldn't let a delicious meal slip by." Tendou stared at Yuuma, speaking each word with a sharp pain in Yuuma's heart.

"...I'm still human, not some kind of alien insect." He lowered his eyes and retorted.

"At least, I've only killed myself now." Although she knew this from experience, Yuuma still couldn't remember how she was killed.

"You are still holding fast to the human spirit." The Heavenly Dao turned to look at the sun in the sky and pointed his finger at the golden sun.

"I am the man who walks the way of Heaven and is in charge of everything, the Supreme Commander of the Way of Heaven."

"If one day you betray your beliefs, I will act in accordance with Heaven's will!"

After saying that, he ignored Yuuma leaning against the wall, put his hands in his pockets, and left into the sun.

"You talked about following the way of Heaven, but you still let me go..."

Yuzhen believes that the current Heavenly Dao is the true Heavenly Dao, possessing its own core and charm.

Instead of the original series where the character's personality almost collapsed in the later stages.

"Perhaps—those storylines wouldn't be plausible in the real world."

At least for now, the Way of Heaven is truly carrying out its will!

Then I must become stronger as soon as possible, because I can't always rely on the heavens to save me!

Yuzhen gritted her teeth and got up, swaying left and right, gradually moving away from this side.
