I am a mindless machine.

The reason her clothes looked more primitive than the other villagers' was because all her clothes were homemade. Those villagers didn't experience the typical daily life of a young girl, except for food. The title "Goddess of War" was given to her by the villagers out of awe of her unfathomable martial prowess, but it also reflected their underlying distance from her.

A barrier, one that would never be broken, stretched between the girl and the villagers. Although the makeshift wooden house was only a few meters away from the other settlements, it felt impossibly distant. Based on Qiang's observations over the past three days, coupled with her initial understanding of this world, Yun You could roughly guess what the future held. Therefore, she...

That's why he gave the girl this advice at the moment of parting. After all, Yi Yu was her benefactor, so at least he should remind her of this. "[Narration] If things continue like this..." However, Yi Yu shook her head, her face still maintaining that faint smile, and interrupted Yun You's words. "Thank you... You." The girl looked at Yun You with her dim, sky-blue eyes, but her gaze seemed to have flown to a much more distant place, and said softly, "I know."

Chapter Four: Executing Heroic Activities?

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

But... Xing was nowhere to be seen on the streets, let alone anyone who could help her. In fact, they might even be secretly relieved that someone had covered her retreat.

In a world teeming with powerful creatures, one thing is for sure: the ability to escape must be honed to its limit. In fact, most people only dare to train this ability... so they don't end up being the slowest runner. "Oh~ looks like nobody's planning to help you? How pathetic." The monster responsible for this scene spoke in a cold, synthesized electronic voice. Its appearance was composed of countless old-fashioned refrigerators, vintage televisions, and other electrical appliances. These bulky things, along with a bunch of black cables, formed its body. The display screen on its head now showed a mocking green emoticon. "This is what you humans are like, always flaunting your strength and abandoning the weak. Even we, the appliances that once served you, were discarded without a second thought once better alternatives appeared." The monster casually tossed aside parked cars. Born from a discarded computer in a junkyard, it inherently harbored hatred for the humans who abandoned it. Although the classification of these monsters hasn't been clearly established at this point in time, after that massive electric shock, his strength has already broken through the Tiger level and reached the Demon level—just one punch is enough to easily destroy a building. He raised his enormous hand, deliberately slowing his pace as he walked forward. The shadow cast by his over three-meter-tall body enveloped the woman with a desperate expression. The cables wrapped around his arms began to crackle and generate intense blue-white current. A grinning symbol appeared on the display screen. "Never mind, let me help you find your way out now—I hope you can be reincarnated as a computer in your next life." The woman closed her eyes in despair, helplessly awaiting her death. Bang! With a loud crash, the powerful airflow generated by the collision swept wildly, once again sending parked cars and trash cans flying. It crashed into the building wall with a terrifying sound. [...]

However, the woman opened her eyes in confusion, uttering a bewildered sound, for the excruciating pain she feared had not yet arrived. What appeared in her sight was a petite white figure. A strong gust of wind tousled the girl's white robe, making it look like a plastic bag flying in a storm, raising concerns that she might be blown away at any moment. But after seeing the girl's actions, the woman was even more astonished. The girl caught the enormous fist, still crackling with electricity, with one hand. "You bastard..." The computer monster's screen displayed the symbol [(O_0)J], about to speak. "[Summary] So this is the 43rd one." But the girl only murmured softly. Then, the computer screen displaying the expression flew into the sky, flickered a few times, and went dark. "Decapitation." The computer monster's massive body fell backward, crashing into the ground and creating a huge crater. The girl nimbly leaped onto it, quickly moving to near its head. She plunged her delicate white hand into the iron shell—the very core of the computer. The electricity that had been gradually fading after the computer's death was reignited by the girl's action, like a ferocious beast about to unleash its fury. Powerful currents shot out in all directions. That was all the electricity contained within an entire arc; if violently destroyed, the raging energy would completely obliterate everything within a hundred meters. The woman who had just been rescued, thinking the girl was about to finish her off, realized something was wrong and hurriedly shouted, "Danger! Be careful!"

However, faced with such a perilous situation, the girl, whose expression remained consistently cold and indifferent, showed no change whatsoever. She simply raised her hand calmly. Under the woman's incomprehensible gaze, it was as if her slender palm contained a black hole, not wasting a single spark of electricity, absorbing all the scattered currents completely. She then seemed to have enjoyed a hearty meal, a faint smile appearing on her face.

"[Thankful] That way, I won't waste time charging anymore. Monsters that drop loot when they die are really convenient." "[Unexpected] Are there other 'weirdos' appearing today? How lucky." After saying this, the girl looked up at the sky, her bright red eyes seeming to be calculating something. Then she whispered, "[Search] 375 kilometers away... Is it X City? Running this distance might be too late... So..." As soon as she finished speaking, the girl unfolded her mechanical "wings" from behind, intending to use the energy she had just gained to save time and fly there. Since the wings extended from a specially made opening, they didn't damage her clothes at all; there was no need to worry about them tearing. --After all, she had already promised the sunset. Seeing that the girl seemed to be leaving, the woman who had miraculously survived quickly ran forward, intending to thank her: "Ah, um... thank you so much..." This girl was like a hero descending from the sky, rescuing her from a life-or-death situation. She was naturally filled with gratitude and wanted to express it.

But halfway through her sentence, she abruptly stopped speaking. The girl didn't reply, instead flying directly into the sky, leaving the woman alone on the deserted street. The woman's initial joy at escaping danger vanished completely, replaced by renewed fear. She saw the girl's eyes. They were empty, emotionless eyes, like those of a machine. The woman understood then: the girl hadn't saved her out of genuine desire, but simply because she had killed the monster before the woman could be killed. She was invisible to the girl. The girl wasn't a "hero" at all—just a "monster who killed a monster." And the reason she was able to come here was simply because the monster wasn't interested in her. Otherwise, she would have died too. Fear gripped the woman's mind, suddenly reminding her of an urban legend a month ago, told by a colleague—a story about a certain "evil spirit."

Feeling the cold wind whipping against her cheeks, Yun You pondered the information she had gathered. Six months before leaving the mountains where Yi Yu was, Yun You had already determined what kind of world this was. Putting everything else aside—the very division of cities into A and Z was clear enough. Its significance was similar to that of the "Grand Line" and the "P Soul World." This was the world of "One-Punch Man J"... and it was before the story even began, before the "Hero Association" had even been established.

Although the original work doesn't explicitly state a specific time, she can infer the timeframe based on the ages of some characters who appeared in the original work. After all, those "heroes" in the original work didn't appear out of thin air; there must have been people carrying out hero activities before the Hero Association was established.

For example, the most recognizable one is Bang, the future Level 5 hero who has a dojo in Z City. In the original work, Bang appeared at the age of 81 (three years after the founding of the Hero Association), and now he is 77 years old. That means that in another year, the event that caused Saitama, the protagonist of the original work, to turn from an ordinary office worker into One-Punch Man will happen. However, even knowing this, Yun You still hasn't figured out what to do. To be honest, she doesn't dare to act rashly. As for the "causal point" that Mo mentioned, she can say that she knows nothing about it. What is the specific way to obtain those points? What effect will changing the original plot have? Will it decrease if someone who should be alive dies? If it's about "recording (writing a story)," shouldn't these rules be set first? If that's the case, it will probably instantly deter more than half of the readers, right? Oh well... anyway, she didn't expect that guy to be able to help. Thinking this helplessly, the girl arrived at her destination. Although there was no Hero Association to relay information about the monsters, she had a special technique—she had built a satellite and launched it into space. This way, while she couldn't control small-scale destruction, she could instantly monitor city-level destruction. Based on her experience in the previous world, she had at least confirmed that "saving people" was one way to gain Causal Points. "[Confirmed] It seems the monsters have been on a killing spree for some time. I'm too late..." She folded her wings, landed on a tall building, and looked down at the city, even more devastated than T City before, and the streets filled with wounded girls screaming in agony. She sighed softly. How many points had she missed?

Chapter Five: An Unexpected Encounter

As observed earlier, more than half of the town's area suffered devastating destruction. The death toll is at least tens of thousands. Yun You folded her mechanical wings, wrapped her conspicuous mechanical body again in a plain white robe, and walked quietly alone on the city streets filled with wails. Although cyborgs exist in this world, they are still a small minority that easily attracts attention. Therefore, to avoid unnecessary trouble, it is more convenient to keep her body covered.

As for the two tails hanging behind her that swayed slightly with the girl's steps... well, they're just for decoration. There's no other way; she hasn't found an efficient new energy source yet, and the passive energy absorption from her tails is indispensable. On the street, more than half of the once-standing office buildings have collapsed, and the remaining buildings have many large craters from the impact, with rocks still falling. The situation in the residences is even more tragic. The collapse of the buildings was only the beginning; the ensuing chain of fires further devastated the remaining buildings.

Everything was devoured. The home he had lived in for years, the garden he passed by daily, the workplace where he earned his living—the merciless fire spread with lightning speed, swiftly consuming everything.

"My home... my home!!!" "Please, is anyone there? Is there anyone who can come and help? My daughter is still inside the house!!" "My hands... please—!"

Leave behind despair.

Yun You continued to wander silently through the streets reduced to ruins. Her pure white clothing stood out starkly against the blackened city, and her crimson eyes gleamed with calculating light. While some noticed her presence, the icy aura she exuded deterred anyone from approaching her for help. A primal instinct for survival told them that this expressionless girl might be even more terrifying than the disaster they were currently suffering. More importantly, even walking through this hellish city, her expression remained completely calm, as if it were all unrelated to her. Reaching the very heart of the city—the most devastated area—Yun You finally stopped. "[Sigh] The sensors show that there are no more high-energy reactions in the city besides the flames. It seems the culprit behind all this destruction is truly gone... It seems the idea of ​​remaining inactive and waiting for the culprit to reappear is no longer possible. Since that's the case..."

Yun You stood on the rooftop in the center, amidst the puzzled gazes of some citizens watching her peculiar behavior. She raised her delicate, lotus-like hand towards the sky and calmly began, "[Dian Kai] -- [Floating Field J --]"

In an instant, absolute silence fell over the world. All the panicked screams, agonizing cries, and desperate calls for help vanished. They had witnessed a miracle. A layer of blue-white light, centered on the girl's palm, radiated outwards, enveloping the entire city. Intricately patterned magic circles could be faintly seen in the sky. If a telekinetic practitioner were present, they would likely feel the pervasive change in the air, as if the laws of physics had been violently rewritten at their very core. Enveloped in this blue light, everything submitted. The entire "city"—encompassing hundreds of miles—floated in the air, like a fairytale sky city.

Those who had been crushed by the rubble now felt a lightness in their bodies, and the raging flames had been greatly reduced, as if suppressed by some special force. This floating wasn't a random disruption of everything, which would only cause greater disaster. Rather, it was a result of calculations and analysis in Yun You's mind, which removed the weight of the rubble while maintaining the city's foundation. ...In simpler terms, it's like [objects with a weight of x0xx will have xxx's weight subtracted, and objects with a temperature higher than xxx will have their temperature reduced to xxx]—a complex method—the calculations and analyses of the machine are incredibly powerful. "[Estimated] about 20% of the energy conversion range of the Heavenly Strike...If it's just floating, it can last for 623 seconds, plus the time needed to keep the city in a relatively intact state to avoid secondary damage, that's about five minutes," the girl spread her wings again, maintaining a spell around herself that allowed her to move freely in this gravity-free city. Yun You squandered the energy she had just plundered—enough to power a city—like a nouveau riche, revealing a satisfied expression. After all, it had been a long time since she had unleashed magic of this scale, and even though it was just a rare opportunity, she was still very content. Since the unknown strange man had disappeared, it was time to take remedial measures. For example, to save the current hellish scene. "[Conclusion] 1 is more than enough."

After whispering this, the girl's wings suddenly unfurled. Using her feet for leverage, she stomped forward, instantly disappearing from her spot. These "points" couldn't be wasted; even a small amount was still something. -- In order to rescue the setting sun as quickly as possible.

Even now, the boy still can't fully comprehend what happened. Today should have been a normal day, nothing special, but still quite ordinary: going home after school, waiting for his father to come home, eating the dinner his mother had painstakingly prepared; and perhaps pondering whether to give him more homework... But then, [that thing] suddenly happened. First, a deafening roar echoed from the city center, followed by the panicked screams of countless pedestrians, then a violent tremor, the sight of his father rushing anxiously and his mother frantically opening the door—when the boy regained his senses, his home was nothing but a pile of unrecognizable wreckage, and his father and mother were nowhere to be seen. Half his body was crushed by a falling boulder, the intense pain eroding his reason, but his spirit was already on the verge of collapse. In the crumbling debris of the collapsed house, the boy saw the culprit who had caused all of this. It was a gigantic cyborg, roaring as it raced through the city at breakneck speed, relentlessly smashing the surrounding buildings with its massive fists. A trail of smoke rose from its back.

The missiles—one after another—caused more explosions and despair. In that instant, the boy ignored the pain and roared like a wild beast. Even with his lower body pinned down, he still desperately tried to crawl towards the cyborg with his bare hands. Everything he had was destroyed! His once beautiful life shattered in an instant. He went mad, wanting revenge and to tear that cyborg to shreds! But he didn't have the ability.

He was too weak. He couldn't even shake off the boulder pressing down on his feet. Forget about "revenge"—such thoughts were laughable. So, in the end, he could only watch helplessly as the cyborg disappeared from sight, curling up in agony, awaiting death in the burning ruins. The already crumbling house emitted terrifying sounds; if things continued like this, his internal organs would probably be crushed. But just as the boy sank into despair—another "miracle" occurred. A transparent blue-white curtain instantly enveloped everything. Then, a weightless sensation that made even the heavens and earth tremble swept over the city.

The white-clad girl, like an angel, flew through the floating city at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, rescuing trapped people one by one, and conjuring up dazzling "technological equipment" from her hands. The wings extending from the girl's back, though also made of cold machinery, appeared to the boy at that moment to be of an exhilarating color! They represented the power of redemption!

...Powerful...If only I had that kind of power... This thought, along with the seeds of hatred, quickly sprouted in the boy's heart. Finally, after the girl had settled all the refugees in a cleared area she had deliberately cleared (specifically, by using an energy cannon to clear out the buildings in that area), she controlled the city floating in the sky to slowly land. Then, ignoring the crowd rushing forward to thank her, she spread her wings again, ready to leave. The boy couldn't help but lean on his wooden crutch, dragging his bloodied legs and gritting his teeth as he squeezed through the crowd. As if trying to expel all the pent-up frustration in his heart, he shouted blankly at the girl, "My name is Jay...Excuse me, excuse me, can I become as powerful as you!?"

As a voice pierced through the noisy crowd, Yun You, who had intended to save time and leave, abruptly stopped. It was a major supporting character from *One-Punch Man*. He appeared as a cyborg, immediately demonstrating the ability to single-handedly handle a Demon-level monster. According to the original work, when he was fifteen, his city was destroyed by a crazed monster, leading him to meet Dr. Kuseno, who became his benefactor. Dr. Kuseno transformed Genos, whose brain was completely necrotic, into a cyborg, granting him immense power... Wait, this plot seems a bit familiar...

The girl surveyed the largely destroyed city once more, mentally replaying the events that had unfolded so far and comparing them to the events in her memory. ...Was it really such a coincidence? The noisy, chaotic crowd fell silent as soon as the girl stopped, gazing at her slender figure with adoring eyes, almost like devout believers. Yun You hadn't rescued everyone in the square; after all, the disaster area covered an entire city. The girl had only used her wings to fly at high speed through the suspended city, rescuing those whose auras were faint under the [sensor device]. Therefore, the current exaggerated situation was due to the nearly one thousand severely injured people—those who had personally experienced a brush with death, been consumed by despair, and then reborn. After this incident, establishing a support group is practically inevitable. The girl slowly turned around, her gaze quickly sweeping across the crowd, calmly taking in the expressions on their faces. These people didn't show any fear despite her aloof and unapproachable aura—or rather, although some of them were somewhat afraid of someone with such terrifying abilities as the girl, the gratitude they felt for being saved far outweighed that fear. The eyes of some of the younger children shone brightly, as if they were gazing at a hero.

The cyborg girl, who had maintained a blank expression, fell silent for a long time, a complex expression flashing across her face. Then, she swiftly took a step forward and grabbed the blond boy who had just spoken. Ignoring the boy's astonished expression, she leaped into the sky, as if she were running away from something.

This was still X City. On a high-rise building that had survived the disaster, a white-haired girl sat on its edge, the cold wind blowing wildly through her snow-white hair. Her expressionless, fair face possessed an unusual beauty in the hazy night. The city, once a scene of utter devastation, was now much better thanks to the girl. She had rescued most of the most severely injured, and the rest were able to escape the disaster zone on their own. At most, they would grieve the loss of their life savings. But—at least they had survived. Without life, there was nothing left. But as long as one is alive, everything can be rebuilt. Looking at his savior sitting alone on the edge of the building, Genos pondered whether he should speak to her… mainly because if he didn't do something, he might die from blood loss in his legs. A dozen minutes earlier, this girl had taken him from the plaza, flying him into the sky and landing him on this building. Then, while he was still confused and didn't know what was going on, the girl only left him with the words, "[Explanation] You wait here first, I will help you become stronger," and then left him standing aside.

At this moment, Genos was far from the calm and mature man he would be four years later. His mind was now filled with hatred. So when he heard that the girl with great power was willing to help him, even though his nearly necrotic lower body was still sending excruciating pain to his brain, he gritted his teeth and did not cry out in pain. He believed that this was the first test the girl was giving him to see if his mind was strong enough.

Chapter Six: The Entanglement of the Heart

Night fell, painting the city's sky with a light drizzle. The bright moonlight was shrouded in layers of dark clouds, and transparent, colorless raindrops dripped down. Wisps of smoke rose from the city engulfed in flames. The damp air subtly soothed the turbulent emotions of the victims, and also deterred some petty criminals from taking advantage of the disaster, allowing everything to quietly return to tranquility. [Return to Z] According to the original description, the scientist named Kusno should have appeared at the scene right after Genos suffered irreparable injuries to his head... In other words, he's probably in that location. Yun You, following the terrain where she rescued the blond boy from her memory, locked her sensory device onto that area and searched carefully, murmuring softly. The rain gradually intensified, striking the building's tiles with a chaotic sound. "[Analysis] I don't know what will happen if I disrupt the 'plot' of the original work. If I change Genos's fate here, it might actually harm a lot of causal points. I can't take that risk." Water droplets slid down her silky white hair, falling from the curve of her delicate face, making the girl's calm eyes even colder. "[However, this is also an opportunity—if it's that genius doctor from the original work, he should be able to solve my 'energy' problem." In that case, this operation has been quite fruitful. Yun You silently pondered. "The most important energy source for the Machine Race," Yunyou has been searching for an alternative ever since she arrived in this world. The first thing she considered was, of course, nuclear energy—a highly efficient energy source that doesn't exist in the No Game No Life J world, but which she is quite familiar with. With the Machine Race's powerful replication ability, if she could experience the power of nuclear energy up close, she should be able to replicate it and escape before she dies. However... this world doesn't have nuclear energy. Thinking about it carefully, given the frequency of monster appearances in this world, which is practically a specialty, building a nuclear power plant in such a high-risk world would be an incredibly foolish act—and more importantly, this world has other highly efficient energy sources. For example, the energy core that powers Genos in the original work. If that were it, it would probably be enough. But the problem is, for the past six months, Yunyou has been unable to find the two scientists who possess the core technology—Dr. Kusno and the future Level 5 hero "Metal."

"Secretaries." After all, those two are behind-the-scenes figures, avoiding public view for safety, making them as difficult to find as finding a specific tree in a forest. But now is a good opportunity—if the most crucial energy problem can be solved, the subsequent operations will be much easier. After all, this is the world of "One-Punch Man," and Yun You's current combat power is simply too weak. If he were to fight those S-class heroes, even victory is not guaranteed. Judging from the power levels in the setting, there are quite a few beings in level 5 who surpass the Skywing race (however, due to the bugged skill Sky Shift, killing the Sky Green race is very difficult).

This won't do. As she thought this, an elderly man who resembled the target finally appeared in Yun You's line of sight. The old man was emaciated and wore a simple mechanical device, which looked somewhat comical. However, the energy contained within the device confirmed Yun You's identity. "[Locked]—Finally found him." Saying this, the girl stood up from the edge of the building and walked towards Genos, whom she had left standing to the side, preparing to pick him up again and take him to the doctor's side: "[Tell] Let's go, I've found the one who can help you get revenge..."

Yun You stopped in the rain, gazing at the scene before her, and fell silent. Genos had closed his eyes, leaning weakly against the wall, unconscious, his face ashen. The blond boy's already mangled legs were now almost unrecognizable, the blood turning a dark red, staining his tattered clothes gruesomely. The cold rain formed puddles beneath him, mixing with the blood still flowing on the ground, making the boy appear as if he were soaking in his own blood, a pitiful sight. His cold pulse turned his skin deathly pale. He had been literally knocked unconscious by the pain. If left unattended, he wouldn't even last ten minutes. But despite the intense agony, he didn't utter a single cry for help to Yun You. He feared that if he showed any weakness in front of the girl who saved his life, he would be seen as a useless piece of trash and abandoned, forever losing any possibility of avenging his family. His life now consisted only of hatred. Only hatred could fuel his actions. If that driving force were removed, this boy would probably have unhesitatingly picked up a knife and slit his own throat. Everything he had was taken away today. If he hadn't met Saitama, this boy's future would have been like a fiercely burning fire—consuming his sins while simultaneously reducing himself to ashes and ultimately vanishing into nothingness... "I'm sorry."

In this city, charred and blackened by fire, torrential rain poured down, washing over every inch of the land. The cyborg girl standing in the downpour lowered her head, her once soft white robe now soaked, her snow-white hair clinging to her body, making her slender figure appear even smaller. In this torrential rain, she was not some hero who single-handedly reversed the world's calamities, not some guide who bestowed upon countless kin the opportunity to awaken their hearts—she was merely a weak little girl, whom even her most beloved lover could not save… Truly, I am so sorry.”

The girl murmured softly, seemingly to no one in particular. Raindrops slid down her delicate face, dripping onto the ground and splashing up tiny droplets. A faint tremor appeared in her usually calm voice.

If she wanted, with the power she possessed, although she couldn't change the already unfolding fate, she could subtly guide Genos's future, preventing him from monotonously pursuing a path of revenge and power. He wouldn't have to suffer the torment of today's tragedy for four years. Furthermore, she shouldn't be constantly anticipating the appearance of monsters, because their appearance represents not only the possibility of obtaining causal points but also the impending destruction of countless families. But...no...she had no choice. Even with a thousand conflicting emotions in her heart, she could only continue. The girl took a deep breath and quietly exhaled. Her expression returned to its usual blankness, as if everything before had been an illusion.

She bent down and gently lifted the pale-faced boy, using her remaining energy to cast a spell to alleviate his pain—this was all she could do at the moment. Then she spread her wings and flew towards the person locked onto by the Ayame reconnaissance device. "[Conclusion]—Let's go. Yusuke Murata @NEBU KURO - 3 hours 6 total 7 > 8 hearts > again > World D Earth. Super Continent Saitama."

Chapter Seven I don't know

This is a vast private laboratory cleverly hidden deep within a mountain. Countless complex and exquisite mechanical devices are suspended from the walls, their blue and black components gleaming metallically under the bright lights. Prototype energy cores are neatly arranged on shelves, each one a highly sought-after item that would command exorbitant prices. The owner of this place is none other than Dr. Kusno, a super mechanical genius. "You...this child wants me to turn him into a cyborg?" Dr. Kusno, sporting a unique, hat-like hairstyle and dressed in a standard white coat, frowned, a clear hesitation appearing on his wrinkled, aged face. "Are you serious?" After all, "turning someone into a cyborg" isn't as easy and pleasant as it sounds; the risks involved are considerable. For one thing, the initial modification requires completely extracting bone marrow and connecting it to mechanical circuits, plus the potential for incompatibility, all of which could potentially cause the brain to lose its rationality. Not to mention that the price of doing so is sacrificing almost all human capabilities. For example, "enjoyment" such as eating and sleeping can only be achieved through simulation, and even emotional circuits will be affected. For a normal human being, this is by no means something easily accepted. Moreover, the boy lying on the experimental table receiving hemostasis treatment only suffered severe injuries to his legs. With proper treatment, it's not impossible for him to survive as a "normal person." Furthermore, the person who made this request was the legendary "evil spirit J." "I understand. I know you can't believe it either, but you can ask the boy yourself about this after he wakes up. Then you'll naturally know that I wasn't lying," Yun You said, seemingly unperturbed by the suspicion. Instead, she nodded with understanding. "...I understand." Dr. Kusno, trying his best to avoid making others uncomfortable, looked down at the white-robed girl standing before him. He was in City X, searching for the rampaging cyborg Qiang and treating those injured by the collapsing rubble. Just as he was finishing up and preparing to head home, the girl suddenly appeared before him, her mechanical wings unfurling. She calmly said, "[Request for help] Dr. Kusno, please save this child's life—and I also have a small request for your assistance." Dr. Kusno was stunned. Although he hadn't personally experienced the magnificent "Sky City," he had glimpsed its miraculous beauty on his way here. Therefore, to him, even replacing the opening word with "threat" wouldn't have sounded out of place.

Furthermore, Genos's condition was critical at the time, and the consequences of not receiving immediate treatment were unpredictable. Therefore, Dr. Kusno had no choice but to agree to the girl's request.

The girl wanted to find a safe place to give Genos some basic treatment. However, she picked him up as well and demanded that he reveal the location of the laboratory.

This clearly indicates that they won't let him go, warning the other party that "you can run away, but you can't hide."

"[Narration] I have no intention of being your enemy." Sensing the barely concealed but clearly obvious unease in Kusnobo, Yunyou performed a perfect bow. Her refined manners and practiced movements were like those of a well-bred lady, bringing a sense of comfort like a gentle spring breeze. She continued calmly in a clear and melodious voice: "[Further explanation] As I said at the beginning, I only intend to seek a small favor. Please believe me, I am not a bad person."

Hearing the girl's words, Dr. Kusno began to doubt his initial understanding and the "rumors" he had recently heard. If there was one thing that had been circulating widely lately, it would undoubtedly be the cyborg "Evil Spirit J," who frequently appeared in major cities killing monsters and possessed the appearance of a young girl. However, unlike typical urban legends where only the name was known and no details were known, there were far too many sightings of "Evil Spirit J." Whether in news reports, community self-help groups, or even among active street heroes, the girl's "active deeds" were easily known. She always moved through major cities in a white robe, killing those saints who posed a great threat to the towns with terrifying efficiency. It was as if those monsters, capable of causing massive casualties, were nothing more than whimpering infants in front of this girl. Originally, such a heroic act of rescue, reminiscent of a fairy tale hero, could have propelled the girl to the top of the popularity charts. However, almost everyone who witnessed her slaughtering monsters and humans became like a broken broken repeating machine, hypnotically convinced of one particular belief: that the girl was absolutely not a saint or hero to be revered—she was merely a "monster obsessed with killing monsters." Because so many people held this view, through the spread of misinformation, speculations about this mechanical girl who never spoke to anyone evolved into: "a vengeful spirit composed of tens of thousands of wronged souls," "a dangerous killing machine that could go berserk at any moment," and "the result of monsters raising each other"—regardless of the possibility, all spoke of her danger to humanity. Thus, the widely circulated title of "evil spirit" emerged. A series of videos titled "Evil Spirit Appears to Slay Monster" have gone viral online, and some antisocial individuals have even idolized the girl, ordering bizarre items specifically for her. In short, those videos clearly show that the girl's attitude towards humans can only be described as "cold-blooded." However, based on Dr. Kusno's observation, while Yun You's behavior wasn't exactly emotionally rich, her friendliness towards humans was at least perceptible. At least based on Dr. Kusno's years of experience interacting with robots and cyborgs, the girl shouldn't be as the rumors suggest. The girl's heart is actually kind. "I can give you the energy core for cyborgs, and I can also make some appropriate modifications based on your situation... But may I ask... what is your [purpose]?"

Perhaps driven by a scientist's insatiable curiosity, or perhaps by the conscience of a man past fifty, he couldn't resist risking angering the young woman by asking. After he finished speaking, Yun You fell silent. She narrowed her eyes, countless possible answers flashing through her mind. After a long pause, she finally replied softly, "[I'm sorry]. I don't know."

The story that will begin in Chapter Eight

Time flies by again, like a fleeting moment. When one's entire being is immersed in...

Even if sometimes that means death. "Emergency Evacuation Alert - Emergency Evacuation Announcement 1 - Disaster Alert [Ghost], please move to evacuation sites as soon as possible. Those near schools should not leave their homes."

-- The alarm blared again, like a thunderstorm, echoing throughout the city. It shattered the city's tranquility, a sound that heralded the arrival of terror. However...

Not a steel behemoth from wartime, but something far more unstoppable. A black "wave," with unparalleled force, swept across the city's skies. The overwhelming blackness churned and surged, densely blocking out all light. The simultaneous flapping of wings against the air resonated, even creating sonic booms! The entire city trembled in fear!

Those were mosquitoes. An endless swarm of mosquitoes. If there were only one, it would be a nuisance beyond compare. "That's our target this time." However, the opponent they faced today was not human. The blond cyborg stepped onto the city's soil, his cold, black-and-yellow eyes fearlessly gazing at the surging sky. Since the Hero Association was founded three years ago, those originally transformed from plant-based mutants, gaining special powers and having their bodies mechanically modified...

In the past, all kinds of disasters that you called good demons, monsters, evil spirits, and monsters are now uniformly called "weirdos". And these so-called weirdos are divided into five levels: "wolf, tiger, ghost, ability, and [stretcher].

This time, however, the threat is one that could "cause a town to cease functioning or be destroyed." "That... shadow... I see. If someone is orchestrating these mosquitoes behind the scenes, then the reason can be explained."

Genos, with his superhuman eyesight, confirmed the slender figure flitting through the black waves and calmly analyzed, "The mastermind behind this calamity—the being who controls this terrifying disaster—that woman with rose-like features, a mature face, and a slender figure, is indeed the mastermind behind this disaster."

"In that case, things are much easier to resolve -- T target locked." Raising his hand, Hu Shan, his palm brimming with terrifying energy, rapidly filled with power and precisely aimed at the target. This was his most powerful attack: [Burning Cannon I]. If unleashed at its strongest, it could even pierce through a mountaintop with a single shot.

If such methods are used, the harm caused can probably be resolved in an instant.

[Chu__Yes, at this moment, it seemed that a faint sound was heard.]

"[Dian Kai 1 -- [Pseudo Dian Tian Ji (Weakened Version)] -- Next -- In an instant, the blue and white light completely swallowed the endless black.

Not a trace was left. The sky, as if nothing had happened, became a beautiful, clear blue. The world was filled with peace and prosperity. Only one cyborg remained, his hand half-raised in the air, staring blankly at the scene.

Jettis: ...Wait, this doesn't seem to be going according to plan. "[Confirmed] [One Demon-level villain - eliminated.]" The petite girl folded her wings and descended from the sky to the ground. Her wide robes fluttered in the wind, and her delicate face remained as calm and serene as ever, as if she had not annihilated any powerful danger, but merely casually swatted a small monster.

As Bugenos gazed at the girl who had appeared before him, he mentally reconsidered his thoughts.

Because the girl possessed that level of ability. Jeddin clenched his fists in frustration, his mechanical arms creaking as their parts snapped together. He had almost sacrificed himself for [avenging his grudge].

He had given everything, yet even so, he still felt no sense of worthy of the girl before him. It was as if a speck of dust on the edge of the Milky Way was trying to rival the sun, which seemed utterly foolish.

He was willing to pay any price for revenge. "(This time I'm determined! I'll make her bow down and acknowledge me as her disciple!)"

Genos thought to himself. Three years ago, with the help of Dr. Kustin, Jedings transformed his body into a cyborg to gain superhuman strength. However, at that time, he had just woken up from a coma.

Afterwards, Yunyou left with the newly acquired energy core without saying anything else to him. Dongxian could now see the girl he had seen earlier. To achieve this goal, after transforming himself into a cyborg, he hoped to catch up to the girl he gained power on that day, much like an idol worshipper. He pursued his goal (finding that insane cyborg) while imitating the actions of the girl (evil spirit) he had heard about. He wandered through various cities, cleaning up monsters. But after several months of this, he was crushed to the ground by a monster. There was nothing he could do; his creed at the time was...

"Don't bow down to evil forces, just go for it!" But just when his life was on the verge of death—the girl once again...

The process is incredibly difficult... mainly because it's invisible. 1- - Please let me be your apprentice and teach me how to become stronger! Anyway, after that, Jeremy immediately adopted the most sincere attitude and loudly proclaimed...

And barely managing to prop up his shattered, mangled body, he bent over at a deep 90-degree angle, pleading. Then, what greeted him was the lonely, grotesque corpse and the cold wind blowing past; the girl was long gone. And then, this situation had occurred twenty-three times in the past three years...

(This is the twenty-fourth time... but this time I'm absolutely certain I'll get away with it!) In past attempts, J has tried everything: playing the victim, using emotional manipulation, singing, performing, street dancing, etc., all of which have failed.

But he was no longer the same person he used to be! Jeddings marched forward with unwavering determination. He was a cyborg capable of lifting machines that ordinary people could hardly lift! Step by step—1091 at the beginning…

Having grown from fighting Tiger-level monsters to now possessing the strength to spar with Demon-level monsters, those twenty-three defeats were by no means meaningless—a true hymn to humanity.

It's about learning from each failure and having the courage to try again!

In the distance, after dealing with the strange man, Yun Nu did not leave immediately as usual, since the crowd had been dispersed. Instead, he looked around.

He gazed upon the deserted city. Finally, he stopped in front of a grocery store. He pulled a thick wad of banknotes from his robe pocket and placed them...

She grabbed all the snacks from the shop's table and used her imaginary space to pack them up and take them away. For the past three years, she's been relentlessly killing strange monsters. Especially recently, with the number of monsters noticeably increasing, her operations have become even more demanding.

Slaughter in the sky. Slaughter on the surface.

The killings even rage beneath the sea. Whenever a strange creature appears and alerts her, she uses the superhuman speed of her Machine Gun to quickly arrive, often before she even has a chance to assess the enemy's appearance.

In this situation, the enemy was killed directly. Furthermore, by using the [fake classic] to interfere with Guo Xi's relationship, the [evil spirit's] influence intensified, and coupled with her inability to take the initiative...

She rarely interacted with humans, and in the past three years, she had barely spoken a few words to anyone. She maintained a minimal connection to the world.

[Thinking]. Speaking of which, judging by the time, [the plot should be starting around this point, right?] Since that's the case, a huge number of causal points can't be missed. Thinking this, the girl, taking advantage of the city being deserted, sat on a bench in a small park, popping a lollipop into her mouth, and raised...

Looking up at the clear, azure sky above Qiang, she spaced out for a while, a feeling she hadn't had in a long time. With the core provided by Dr. Kusno, she could be considered one of the strongest fighters in this world. Mo's "top-tier start" wasn't a joke; the power level in Pink Life was top-tier even in many anime worlds. As long as she didn't deliberately court death, she was on her way to...

The chance of dying during the so-called "Jump" is very small. In other words, as long as she maintains her current mindset, doesn't get involved in any story events, and doesn't encounter any other unforeseen events that require consuming causal points, then given enough time, it's certain she can rescue Sunset from that state.
