News came from Anti-Entropy that the Awakened Ones of the Light Force and the remaining thousand Herrschers were being dealt with in an orderly manner.

Everything was as calm and undisturbed as a lake surface that had never been touched by a gentle breeze.

Apart from Gu Yu himself and a very few others, no one knew what he was struggling with.

Gu Yu did not fight the enemy again during this week. However, Ou Xiani, who had already recovered from his illness in the hospital, sent him a report.

A new enemy has emerged.

This enemy is neither a holder of the power of light, nor a demonic entity or demon left behind after Orochi's death, nor one of the Herrschers of Domination who are still fighting amongst themselves.

These people have infiltrated human society and formed a huge encirclement around it.

Not only in the economy, but also in other areas such as politics, education, and scholarship, some people have already shown their true colors.

Those who were once human sometimes show expressions of sudden, intense pain, and strange patterns appear around their necks.

Some of those who had contact with them disappeared completely after that.

The Oceania branch where Ossiani was located investigated this matter, but since all of them had been examined and had no Honkai energy in their bodies, they were not treated as suicide soldiers.

In short—these feral ghouls couldn't hold back any longer and started to act after revealing their true colors.

That's enough. First, there was the uproar of the power of light, and now it's the Demon Emperor's turn to make his appearance?

Would Bishop himself authorize these people to begin the operation?

No, if the goal was to intimidate Gu Yu, the previous business battles had already been enough. Bishop had no need to send out Fangbloods from other places at this time to further provoke Gu Yu.

The actions of these vampires were unrelated to Bishop's plan.

For the Blood Demons, humans are ultimately just food. Putting aside the main story, even in the hypocritical world of "Kamen Rider Decade," there are those who would rather defy the laws of peace and choose to drain the life force of humans in the street.

The other name for the Blood Devourers is the Life-Sucking Demons. For them, feeding on humans is merely a means of consuming food. For these 'demons,' suppressing the urge to feed is the truly difficult thing to do.

If we continue to let that group of people act as they please, the number of people who will be sacrificed will only increase.

However, if Gu Yu were to kill all these Fang Blood Demons by himself, even disregarding the time factor, Gu Yu's repeated use of Honkai energy would only place a heavy burden on his body.

"Brother Gu~"

Kiana, seeing Gu Yu's absent-minded expression, waved her hand vigorously in front of him.

"Is the soul still there?"

Kiana invited Gu Yu out today not only to help him relax, but also because she had something she wanted to ask him.

However, after arriving at her usual coffee shop, Kiana saw Gu Yu casually find a table to sit down at and stare out the window, lost in thought.

"It's rare that no enemy has fully emerged during this period. If you're still looking so gloomy, happiness will fly away."

"Come on, Kiana."

Gu Yu, finally regaining some of his attention thanks to Kiana's actions, picked up a cup of coffee that Kiana had casually ordered for him and said...

"I'm a standard materialist. You're telling me something so superstitious, do you think I'd be so superstitious... Pfft!"

After taking just one sip of her coffee, Gu Yu immediately spat it out.

Kiana, as if she had already anticipated Gu Yu's reaction, quickly dodged to the side, avoiding getting soaked on the spot.

"Damn, this coffee tastes awful... Are you messing with me?!"

"No, it's a tradition of this store."

Kiana pointed lightly to the name on the menu and said with a mischievous smile.

"Mars Coffee is a special drink that the owner gives to every new customer who comes here. It doesn't taste very good, but it's very refreshing."

"How are you feeling now, a little more refreshed?"

"It's so refreshing... It's not easy to feel drowsy after taking a sip of something that tastes so awful."

After wiping up the spilled coffee with a tissue, Gu Yu looked at the other guests around her.

Gu Yu, who had intended to show an apologetic expression, suddenly realized after meeting the eyes of this group of guests that none of them looked surprised.

Rather, their eyes were filled with either understanding or a hint of schadenfreude.

Good grief, they've all been victims, so no one reminded me just now, right?

This land is so barren that I can't stay here even for a second longer.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, let's get down to business."

After returning to her seat, Kiana waved to the waiter beside her, ordered another juice for Gu Yu, and then said to Gu Yu.

"I was hoping you could relax a bit, but are you thinking about those things again?"

"Brother Gu, I'm not trying to be mean, but sometimes I really feel like you're putting too much pressure on yourself. When the sky falls, fate is the first to bear the brunt. It's not good for you to start scaring yourself before anything even begins."

"Come on, are we going to wait until something happens before we start taking action?"

After saying this in an annoyed tone, Gu Yu looked Kiana over and then suddenly said something.

"Do you still remember those zero-score test papers that filled your desk? You almost got expelled after only a month of school. In a sense, you're a legend at St. Freya Academy."

"Even if you expose my weaknesses, it won't work!"

After uttering those words in a fit of anger, Kiana's inner thoughts were completely at odds with her expression.

Sigh, I just did a random test today and it worked.

Old Gu can just casually ask someone out and they'll come out. This kind of romantic getaway is so easy to create. Mei, why are you so hopeless?

This morning, on a 'let's give it a try' attitude, she approached Gu Yu and asked him to spend the morning with her.

Then Gu Yu agreed.

accepted.

He actually agreed.

At that moment, Kiana seemed to hear a low growl coming from Mei's room.

However, considering that Gu Yu didn't make any expression, perhaps this was just an illusion?

Sigh, I was just asking casually, but now that Brother Gu has actually agreed, I can't just tell him I was joking.

Well, it's good to give Mei a little push. What if she finds out that everyone has already surpassed her in terms of progress?

I think Mei will be a little more serious in the future.

Chapter 630. The Power of Hybridity

Kiana felt that simply getting Gu Yu out wasn't enough of a thrill.

After awakening her Herrscher core, although she is not yet able to use Herrscher power for extended periods like her other companions, she can still use her Herrscher powers without entering the three-minute countdown.

At least for now, she can clearly sense that it's less than 500 meters away...

—At least three Herrscher cores are pulsating.

These guys are all incredibly gossipy.

However, I do have the right to criticize them, because if it were me... I would definitely want to come and watch the drama unfold too.

Yeah, yeah, Mei's in there too. Let's go big today, give her a good jolt, make her realize that even I'm getting serious. I think she'll realize the danger then.

If Mei isn't serious at this point...

Looking at Gu Yu in front of her, Kiana suddenly turned her head to one side.

Kiana, what are you thinking?

Old Gu is Kiana's fiancé!

After you took away her identity, name, and social status, you even want to steal her man?

Have some decency, you've gone too far.

No, that's not right. When did I become so confident?

To be honest, everyone in the dorm has their own little schemes, so why should I think I'm guaranteed to win?

Kiana, who was initially a little annoyed and shy, suddenly realized that she was being a bit ridiculous when she recalled the bits and pieces of her time with Gu Yu over the past six months.

When Mei first boarded the Hyperion, she almost got into a fight with the two S-rank Valkyries for the sake of Gu Yu.

After Mei used her Herrscher powers and fell into a coma, Gu Yu hugged Mei and was angry about it.

This behavior doesn't prove anything, but for two people who have come out of dire straits, it's perfectly normal for their feelings to continue to grow stronger.

But now?

Now!

This piece of wood has absolutely no ideas.

If it weren't for some of Gu Yu's previous remarks, Kiana might have even thought the man in front of her was a jerk.

"Exposing shortcomings? What shortcomings did I expose?"

Upon seeing the strange expression on Kiana's face, Gu Yu immediately retorted.

"Have you heard a joke, Kiana?"

"He's exposing my shortcomings! How? He recounted all the things I've done!"

"I really didn't laugh."

You can just keep insulting me!

Kiana felt her head start to throb as she recalled what had happened to her.

The zero-score test was a joke she made when school started, but now that Theresa is pushing her, she certainly won't make the mistake of failing six or seven courses combined.

But ultimately, being hit where it hurts is definitely not a pleasant thing.

Even if the person who touched her sore spot was her best friend, it wouldn't work!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Kiana, to be honest, after regaining those memories... why do you still have such strange thoughts about Schicksal?"

Pushing the coffee aside, Gu Yu placed his hands on the table expressionlessly, then suddenly looked at Kiana very seriously.

"It's true that most of the people in Schicksal are good people who are fighting against the Honkai, but the scoundrel at the very top of this organization was biased from the start."
