The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Sora is so annoying. When have I ever stolen food?" Shiina Mashiro looked up and calmly stared at Jiang Jing, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you ashamed when you say that?" Jiang Jing rolled her eyes, ignoring Zhen Bai's feigned innocence, washed her hands, took off her apron, put on a pair of slippers, and went out.

……

The door to the remote, dark warehouse in the suburbs slowly opened, bringing some light into the dark warehouse. Then, a young man in a suit and tie strode in, carrying a long white box wrapped in yellow cloth.

"Did you bring the things?"

From a dark corner of the warehouse, three figures, each over two meters tall and shrouded in cloaks, slowly emerged. The unusual bumps on their heads added to their eerie appearance.

"I said, what era are we living in? Can't you choose a more normal place when you receive the goods? Even a normal person can tell there's something wrong with the way you're doing this."

Carrying the suitcase, Sugimoto Makoto said speechlessly, "Our two forces are cooperating to destroy the world, such a noble operation, don't make it look like some kind of underground meeting between gangsters, it feels really low-class."

In response to Sugimoto's criticism, the middle one of the three men in black cloaks spoke up, his voice hoarse and low, like two pieces of iron rubbing together.

“We only care about the results, and according to the data, this happens to be one of the blind spots in the Human Association’s monitoring. Our presence will not be detected here.”

"Alright, enough talk. Hurry up and take out the items to prepare for the sacrifice. Be careful, or things might go wrong," the thinner figure on the left said impatiently.

Upon hearing this, Sugimoto Makoto lost his joking mood and said solemnly, "Are you all ready? As soon as this thing is taken out, the sacred aura it emits will be sensed by the association's monitoring center."

"Now, because the Holy Sword was stolen by us, the Order has begun a covert search and investigation throughout the city and is on high alert."

"And weren't we sent to our deaths? I'm just a two-star, and you three three-stars are here in this dangerous place to complete this mission. If we get spotted by the association's experts, we won't even be able to run away."

“Death is merely a return to nothingness; we came prepared to sacrifice ourselves.” A voice, filled with devout fervor yet chillingly cold like the hiss of a venomous snake, rang out from beneath the right side of the cloak.

Seemingly sensing that this human was afraid of death, the middle figure said in a deep voice, "Those of us who are too strong can't get through. Even if we were to get in, it would have taken a lot of effort from those adults."

"However, as long as we successfully initiate the sacrifice, find that thing as soon as possible, and awaken that person with the sacrifice, we have nothing to fear, because at that time, this city and even the world will be too busy to take care of themselves."

"Are you sure that thing is in this city? Don't get it wrong?" Sugimoto Makoto cautiously reminded him.

The figure in the middle said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, through the large-scale blood sacrifice rituals in the seventeen Destruction Lands a few days ago, the adults have already pinpointed the approximate location of that thing."

"Hehehehe... Personally initiating this great moment of return, after the adults return, we will receive the reward of being infused with the source and directly condensing the true form of the evil god to become a holy god."

"The thought of destroying this world that has resisted us for so long fills me with excitement. Alright, hurry up and take out the fragments of the Holy Body disguised as the Holy Sword of Humanity."

As he spoke, the tall figure in the middle waved his arm, and instantly the scene in the warehouse changed. All the clutter in the back disappeared, revealing what was hidden underneath.

The warehouse, spanning over a thousand square meters, was somehow filled with the corpses of countless humanoid creatures. The severed limbs and fragments formed a bizarre sacrificial ritual, in which the blue-red blood of those humanoid creatures turned into a blood lake, flowing like a living thing.

As the concealment spell was dispelled, the entire warehouse was enveloped in a thick, pungent stench of blood, and the mournful howls of evil spirits seemed to echo in the air, which was quite terrifying.

Sugimoto Makoto was taken aback: "How did you bring these things up here?"

"Heh heh... This information is outside the scope of our cooperation; in your words, it's 'no comment.'" The figure on the left remained tight-lipped.

“That’s true.” Sugimoto nodded and prepared to walk over, making a gesture as if to open the long box in his hand, which attracted the attention of the three figures.

Just then, an energy surge suddenly erupted behind the three figures, followed by a beam of light, three centimeters thick, that pierced through everything.

Tweet!

With a soft sound, the head of the figure on the left was pierced by a sudden blue beam of light, revealing Kato Megumi leaning against the wall more than ten meters away.

That beam of light was fired from the long, sniper-cannon-like, but much more complex and futuristic-looking black gun in Kato Megumi's hand, which was covered in runes.

The sudden turn of events startled the remaining two figures, and without thinking, terrifying evil demonic energy erupted from within them.

boom!!

The immense, almost three-star peak-level demonic energy erupted, radiating an evil and dark aura that shattered their cloaks, revealing two bizarre demons covered in black scales, with sharp horns on their heads, resembling both humans and demons, and possessing three pairs of blue eyes.

Under this aura filled with darkness and evil, Sugimoto Makoto, who was only at the late stage of two stars, changed his expression, and Kato Megumi, who was only at the early stage of three stars, also darkened his gaze.

However, Kato Megumi did not hesitate at all and decisively took advantage of the opponent's lack of reaction time to aim at the head of the six-eyed demon in the middle and slam it down.

Tweet!

With another soft sound, the beam of light that had easily annihilated a three-star peak demon shone again, appearing in front of the demon in the middle in the blink of an eye, causing its expression to change drastically.

"Roar! You broke your promise and betrayed us."

The beam of light was too fast; it was too late to dodge in its roar. Layers of black light appeared on its body, forming a black crystal-like defensive shield that seemed indestructible.

Wave!

The beam of light had terrifying penetrating power. With a soft "poof," it pierced through the black crystal layer, vaporizing half of the demon's head behind it. It then disappeared after piercing through the warehouse as Kato Megumi loosened her fingers.

From the moment Kato Megumi, who had been invisible and had no presence, appeared, to the moment she used the Demon-Slaying Spear, which she had exchanged for using all her income contribution points over the past two years and which could injure a four-star expert if she was careless, and the precious Annihilation Energy Bullet, to kill two three-star peak demons, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Kato Megumi's move was like a signal; at that moment, an energy fluctuation of a sealing barrier rose outside, indicating that preparations were complete.

At this moment, white light flashed around his body, and Sugimoto Makoto, having unleashed his full power, retreated frantically, running towards the warehouse door.

Because the remaining, thin, withered demon behind him didn't target Kato Megumi first, but instead pounced on him.

Given the opponent's peak three-star strength and intense killing intent from countless battles, Sugimoto was certain that once caught up, he would be killed in a single encounter without any chance to fight back.

Kato Megumi frowned at the other party's reaction and shouted, "Tiger, throw the box over here."

"Okay, Captain, catch it." Upon hearing Kato Megumi's request, Sugimoto Makoto didn't hesitate at all and threw the box high into the air.

"Roar... Humans, I will slaughter you all!" With a roar, the demon soared into the sky, its target the box containing the so-called fragments of the Holy Sword.

At the same time, Kato Megumi, who was keeping a close eye on the demon in the distance, flicked the Demon-Slaying Spear in his hand. With a click, two empty blue metal bottles popped out of the gun. In an instant, he flipped his hand and took out two more annihilation energy bullets and put them into the gun.

Click!

Without even blinking, just as Kato Megumi finished loading her bullets, the demon grabbed the box in mid-air, a look of delight spreading across its狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

However, at that moment, dense golden runes appeared on the yellow cloth strip that looked like a seal around the box. It was the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation set up by Kato Megumi's men after they obtained the box.

hum!

The golden incantations filling the sky suppressed the demon and the box in the prison, causing its expression to change drastically.

"Roar! Cunning human." The demon tore apart the demon-subduing array composed of two-star Vajra Talismans in front of him, and with a flash of demonic light, he tried to dodge.

However, with the Demon-Subduing Formation delayed for a moment, Kato Megumi, who was prepared, lit up her Demon-Slaying Spear once again.

puff! !

As expected, the demon's corpse, missing half its head, and the box fell from the sky, crashing to the ground with a thud and remaining motionless.

From the start to the end, it took less than half a minute. When the life force of the three-headed, three-star peak demon disappeared, signifying its complete death, Kato Megumi, who had annihilated the demon, finally let out a breath.

A faint smile appeared on her beautiful face as she put down the Demon-Slaying Spear.

Sugimoto Makoto, who had already run to the door, stopped and put on a fawning smile: "Wow, Captain, you're amazing. You killed three such powerful monsters all by yourself without even having to use any of the methods that Yamataka and the others had set up outside."

Kato Megumi's smile faded, and she said calmly, "Alright, let them come in and clean up the mess."

"Yes, Captain." Sugimoto Makoto, who knew his captain's personality very well, replied with a smile and was about to turn around.

boom!

Just then, the corpse of the demon who was holding the box exploded, and a much smaller, longer, transparent black shadow emerged, resembling a python with demonic claws.

Although the shadowy figure's aura was only at the peak of the second star level, the fact that it swallowed the box in one gulp caused Kato Megumi's expression to change slightly: "Stop it, we can't let it take the box away."

"Go that way."

Sensing that the opponent's aura was only at the peak of the second star, Sugimoto shouted and pushed with both hands. The transparent gloves he wore on his hands flashed with golden light and instantly expanded into a golden light wall to block the opponent.

At the same time, Kato Megumi behind her also moved, holding a gun in her left hand and a half-meter-long black broken blade in her right hand. In a flash, she rushed over with a series of afterimages.

But the dark figure was incredibly fast, appearing in front of Sugimoto Makoto, who was blocking the doorway, in the blink of an eye. Its empty head and eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent, and its deformed demonic claws fell towards the wall of light in front of it.

The moment the demonic claws struck, the demonic energy on the shadowy figure surged, unleashing an energy fluctuation that greatly alarmed Sugimoto Makoto.

boom!

puff! !

The light wall collapsed instantly, and Sugimoto Makoto behind it coughed up blood and flew out. The aura of the black shadow dropped to the late stage of the second star again, and it turned into a black light and disappeared at the door with a whoosh.

Upon reaching the door, Kato Megumi, realizing she couldn't catch up, stopped abruptly, her expression grave: "Such speed."

"So fast..."

Stop it.

"boom!"

"Captain, it's bad, we didn't stop it."

After a series of noises, Kato Megumi heard the voices of the people outside who were keeping watch.

Kato Megumi calmly said, "Didn't they stop them? These monsters are indeed cunning; their methods are impossible to guard against."

"No one died, right?"

"No, only the black dog suffered some external injuries. That thing has no intention of getting entangled with us."

"I understand. Have someone come and carry Xiaohu out. He looks quite badly injured."

After speaking, Kato Megumi pressed the miniature earpiece next to her ear twice.

"This is the association's headquarters monitoring center."

"I am Kato Megumi, the captain of the ninth squad of the fifth brigade within the Suppression Department. My two-star surveillance mission has discovered traces of the Void Purgatory Demon."

"The current situation is that two of the three peak three-star monsters are dead, and the remaining monster with twin demon souls is seriously injured. Its strength is around the late two-star level, and it is fleeing towards the city with the quest items."

"There is a miniature locator I left on the mission item. I need to apply for city-wide signal detection and location. The signal code is 6555sa1. I need to apply for four-star assistance for the mission."

The person on the other end was startled and said in a deep voice, "Four-star assistance! That's serious. I need accurate information to apply for, otherwise the authorization cannot be granted."

"The box in the demon's hand appears to contain fragments of the Holy Sword stolen from the cult members, but the Holy Sword is merely a disguise. Beneath it lies the aura of the Holy Sword concealing the remnants of an ancient evil god."

"What?! The remnant of an ancient evil god? Why didn't you report this sooner?" The person opposite was shocked, then his anger was mixed with panic.

"Sorry, we just got this information from the monsters and didn't have time to report it. Originally, this mission was only a two-star surveillance mission." Despite the other party's anger, Kato Megumi remained calm and showed no change in expression.

"Phew! Sorry, I got a little excited. I'll apply for Silver Moon-level mission authorization right away and activate citywide alert. Support will be on their way soon."

"You guys go after them right away. I'll send you the location information immediately. Make sure they don't open or take this out, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Yes."

After Kato Megumi finished her call, Sugimoto Makoto, who was leaning against the wall and still spitting blood, gave a bitter laugh, but his eyes were full of excitement as he said, "Captain, we've caught a big fish this time."

"Caught a big fish."
