Chapter 378 Humanity's Last Hope, Project Ark

The strange sight of dark clouds covering the sky flashed by briefly above the water, then returned to normal, making all the students think they had just hallucinated.

Rias, who had walked over, nodded to Shiina Mashiro and the others, then looked at Jiang Jing with gentle eyes: "Sorata, I made you a bento today, let's eat together."

"What a coincidence, Minister. I also made one for Sorata." Himejima Akeno smiled with her eyes narrowed, carrying two bento boxes in her hands.

"Sorata, this is my return gift to you." Toujou Koneko also held up two cute bento boxes with cat plushies hanging on them.

After having dinner at Sakura-sou that time, Tajo Kita said she would cook for Jiang Jing as a return gift, but she was always busy traveling and didn't have the chance.

Looking at the lunch boxes in the three people's hands, Jiang Jing couldn't help but say, "How can I finish all of these by myself? Why don't we put them all here and eat them together?"

“Okay.” Rias smiled slightly, offering no objection.

Himejima Akeno smiled slightly and looked at Shiina Mashiro and the others: "Shiina-san, Aoyama-san, are we not disturbing you?"

Shiina Mashiro looked at her calmly and said, "I'll listen to Sorata."

At this moment, Aoyama Nanami stood up and politely greeted, "Himejima-kun, you don't need to be so polite. Please sit down first. Senpai, let me squeeze in with you."

As she spoke, Aoyama Nanami made room for Rias and the others, squeezing in next to Kamiigusa Misaki, sitting on the left with Matou Sakura and on the right with Shiina Mashiro Eijiro.

However, just as Rias and the others sat down, Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita also came over. Instead of carrying lunch boxes, they were carrying three boxes of drinks.

"Kanda-kun, excuse me, the association just sent you a copy of the SSS-level summit meeting minutes, which I need to hand over to you in person." At school, Kato Megumi didn't address Jiang Jing by his honorific title, nor did she call him "classmate," but rather used a respectful form of address.

"Summit Minutes"

Jiang Jing looked puzzled, then his gaze fell on Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita's hands: "Didn't you bring lunch today? Sit down first. Rias and the others brought a lot of food, so let's eat together."

"Yes, Kato-senpai, Yukino-senpai, let's eat together. Rider made a lot today, and I was worried that we might not be able to finish it and would have to take it back with us." Matou Sakura, sitting to Jiang Jing's left, smiled slightly and said enthusiastically.

Kato Megumi politely declined, saying, "Thank you, but it's alright. Sora has already gone to buy bread." However, after saying that, the two of them sat down on the edge of the mat.

Then Kato Megumi looked at Jiang Jing and said respectfully, "Kanda-kun, the minutes of the summit meeting are that every month, the association's Ancient Moon Rank and above experts and Awakened Ones will attend the meeting once a month."

"As for the content, I have no way of knowing. In the past, when Lord Yan was present, she would attend the meetings. If she was absent due to other matters, the meeting minutes would be given to her."

"However, Lord Yan said earlier that although you, Kanda-kun, are not interested in trivial matters, please take a look at this meeting record. It contains the progress of the plan for the future of the human race."

As she finished speaking, Kato Megumi's tone and expression became solemn. She then respectfully took out a white chip resembling a bank card from her bosom and handed it to Jiang Jing.

At this moment, Rias, Shiina Mashiro, and the carefree Kamiigusa Misaki were also stunned, feeling an inexplicable pressure from Kato Megumi's last words.

The future of humanity—this phrase carried a suffocating heaviness, especially for Rias, whose gaze shifted slightly as she recalled her brother's mention of the Human Ark Project during her recent return.

However, her brother only mentioned it casually at the time, and she didn't know the details. She only knew that it was the Last Hope Project, which was led by the human race and involved some trusted forces from all walks of life.

Compared to the solemnity of Kato Megumi and the others, Jiang Jing casually accepted the chip and said indifferently, "Is that so? I'll take a look after lunch. I think I've heard Han Yan mention this before?"

At this moment, Jiang Jing scanned the chip with his mind and sensed a mind seal belonging to the level of a main god. Obviously, the information inside was extremely well protected.

"Senpai, I'm back." Just then, Kasugano Sora, who had gone to buy bread for Kato Megumi and the others, ran over excitedly, breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere.

Kasugano Sora ran over and handed the bread to Kato Megumi and Yukino Yukinoshita, then looked happily at Jiang Jing: "Kanda-senpai, can I have lunch with you?"

Jiang Jing smiled slightly: "Sure, don't be shy, sit down."

"Thank you, senior." Kasugano Sora didn't stand on ceremony. She first gave Shiina Mashiro and the others a shy smile, and then sat down next to Shiina Mashiro.

"Everyone, eat up. After you've finished eating, rest for a bit and then head back."

"Hey, junior, you promised you wouldn't care if we didn't come tomorrow, right?" Misaki Kamiigusa exclaimed excitedly.

"Sorata, I'm going to sleep until 10 o'clock tomorrow," Shiina Mashiro said earnestly.

"What's the connection between these two?" Jiang Jing asked, taken aback.

Shiina Mashiro nodded seriously: "Yes, it's cold now, and it's warm in Sorata's arms so I don't want to get up."

"Ah... Mashiro, aren't you ashamed to say that in broad daylight?" Misaki Ueiso reminded her from the side, but the excited expression on her face seemed to be asking Shiina Mashiro to reveal more explosive information.

When Shiina Mashiro said this as if it were the most natural thing in the world, Rias, who had merged with Jiang Jing, and Matou Sakura were unaffected, while Aoyama Nanami, Kato Eyuki, and Shinobu blushed slightly.

However, Rias sensed a hint of provocation in Shiina Mashiro's words and glanced at her, her eyes meeting Shiina Mashiro's calm gaze.

"Ahem... I really can't be bothered with you guys, but we're still at school. Don't talk about not being in school so loudly, or Xiaochun will hear and get upset." Jiang Jing coughed lightly.

"Kōta, this is delicious. When I came back this time, I also brought up the chef who has served my father for five hundred years from the castle. Try it." Just then, Rias affectionately picked up a three-finger-wide slice of light golden meat from her lunchbox.

The sliced ​​meat looks unremarkable on the surface, and doesn't emit an enticing aroma, but the occasional glint of shimmering light suggests that this dish is anything but ordinary.

After all, this is a dish that glows; according to the setting, it's either a dark dish that can poison people or an incredibly delicious dish that will shock you.

"Oh my! Minister, you actually brought Chef Oaks to the human world! The Duke isn't angry?" Himejima Akeno asked, somewhat surprised.

Because of that special demon's cooking skills, she had eaten with Rias a few times, and the taste was the best she had eaten in recent years, apart from Jiang Jing's cooking.

Rias, with a slice of meat between her fingers, turned to look at Akeno Himejima, her red eyes revealing a hint of cunning: "When I 'took' Oaks away, Father happened to be out."

"If His Majesty the Duke finds out when he gets back, he'll be so angry he won't be able to eat for a month," Akeno Himejima chuckled.

At this moment, Jiang Jing looked at the meat that was being offered to his mouth, and without refusing, nodded: "I'll try it." He then opened his mouth and ate the meat that Rias had put on his plate.

"Hmm, it tastes good." Jiang Jing nodded slightly, savoring the explosive smoothness and unique meaty aroma in his mouth.

This chef named Oakes has reached the level of an expert, a skill that transcends the mortal realm. Rias was not exaggerating.

"Sora, this is delicious, you should try it..." Seeing this, Shiina Mashiro also picked up a piece of meat from her own bento and carefully brought it to Jiang Jing's mouth.

“Senior, this was specially made by Rider, please try it…” At this moment, Matou Sakura, who was to Jiang Jing’s left, smiled slightly and picked up a piece of meat.

Rias smiled and picked up another piece that looked like fried pork ribs: "Kouta, this tastes even better, you should try it."

With Aoyama Nanami and Yukino Yukinoshita staring wide-eyed, all three pairs of chopsticks were stretched towards Jiang Jing's mouth. The three girls made no attempt to hide their intentions, and their eyes met.

Although their eyes were full of smiles, there was an inexplicable heavy and oppressive pressure in the air around them.

Jiang Jing smiled calmly at the scene and said, "Is that so? Let me try it." He then opened his mouth and ate the meat and vegetables that the three girls handed him in one bite.

"Hmm, they all taste good, everyone eat!" Chewing on the meat in his mouth, Jiang Jing gestured for the excited Ueiso Misaki and the stunned Aoyama Nanami to eat.

While Jiang Jing sat under a tree on campus enjoying the campus life surrounded by beauties, his other seven True Spirit Bodies were also carrying out their own affairs in an orderly manner.

Since his soul consciousness split into eight parts, the scene in Jiang Jing's eyes has been divided into eight. Not only is there the water in front of him, but he is also enjoying Rita's meticulous service in the collapsed universe.

Meanwhile, in six other universes with different power systems, Jiang Jing's true spirit body was also sitting in a dead end or in the deep space-time, quietly deducing the progress of his true body, and the progress was very fast.

Just as he was eating the bento boxes made by several beautiful women, patterns representing the Dao of the universe began to appear on Jiang Jing's arms, chest, back, and legs beneath his clothes, radiating a mysterious aura.

After lunch, Aoyama Nanami and the others cleaned up the mess on the ground, some throwing things in the trash cans, others washing the boxes, and then the group walked out of the school gate together.

"Kanda-kun, and everyone else, Yukino Sora and I will take our leave now."

At the school gate, Kato Megumi and her two friends bowed slightly to Jiang Jing and the others to say goodbye. Although they had transferred to Shuigao High School, their residence was in a different direction from Jiang Jing and the others.

Watching Kato Megumi and the others leave, Rias turned to look at Shiina Mashiro and Matou Sakura, who were putting pressure on her, and smiled while ignoring Aoyama Nanami and Kamiigusa Misaki.

"Perfect timing, we don't have any club activities today, let's walk together since we're going the same way, Shiina-kun."

Shiina Mashiro calmly replied, "No problem."

"Mashiro-senpai, let me help you with your backpack." Just then, Kirisakura smiled slightly and reached out to take the backpack from Shiina Mashiro's hand.

"Thank you for your trouble, Sakura." Shiina Mashiro didn't refuse, handed the backpack to Matou Sakura, and then took Jiang Jing's arm.

Seeing this, Rias was about to take Jiang Jing's other hand, but just then, Misaki Kamiigusa excitedly rushed over and said happily, "Haha... Junior, let's go back quickly. I'm going to work all night to finish episode fourteen."

Seeing this, Rias's smile remained unchanged, and she gave Matou Sakura a meaningful look.

Chapter 379 An Existence Surpassing God-King Beneath the Abyss, the World-Destroying Array

The deepest part of the Void Abyss is an empty void, where nothing exists and it is filled with an oppressive force that only ancient evil beings with the strength of a chief god or above can withstand.

At this moment, in this pitch-black and void place, seventeen terrifying figures, each over 30,000 or 50,000 meters tall and of varying shapes, stood atop the black clouds.

These figures were surrounded by Dao rules that exuded perfection, and the perfection of each Dao rule meant that one could become an unparalleled god-king.

At this moment, each of these figures possessed more than two perfect Great Dao rules, radiating a terrifying pressure that could crush space and time far exceeding that of ordinary God Kings.

Beneath these ancient, god-king-level evil beings lies a domain of rules resembling a small world, upon which dwell strangely shaped evil beings, each tens of thousands of meters long.

The number of these god-level evil creatures is astonishing. Each god-king level evil creature has at least seventeen or eighteen, and some have as many as thirty or forty, totaling nearly three hundred.

More than three hundred ancient evil beings at the level of main gods would be able to sweep away almost everything if placed in the main material universe. Even god-kings like the True Crimson Dragon Emperor would have to run away when they saw them.

While a God-King can crush a Main God, an ordinary God-King can at most overpower five Main Gods at their peak at the same time. If there is someone like Sirzechs Lucifer among them, there will be even greater pressure.

Of course, if it were an ordinary main god, the God King could easily annihilate one with a single blow, and there would be no pressure at all unless he was facing more than twenty at the same time.

However, now, whether they are the main gods or those god-king level evil beings, they are all looking forward respectfully.

In the deepest, darkest void, a shadowy figure, indescribably vast, surrounded by darkness and bound by chains of laws that reach to the heavens and the earth, slept.

Because it was shrouded in a materialized black mist of rules, it could only be vaguely discerned as a humanoid figure with a pair of sky-covering demonic wings behind it, a pair of forked dragon horns on its head, and four arms.

Compared to this figure, those god-king level evil beings, each towering 30,000 to 50,000 meters tall (equivalent to 30 to 50 kilometers), are as insignificant as ants. One can imagine just how enormous this being is.

At this moment, the entire void abyss resonated with the breaths of the sleeping being, and the pressure unconsciously emanating from it made those god-level evil beings feel suffocated; the strength of its demonic power was terrifying.

After an unknown amount of time, a pair of eyes, as dazzling as the sun and radiating blue-white light, slowly opened, instantly illuminating the entire world. Under the gaze of these eyes, all evil beings felt as if the universe was pressing down on them.

Boom boom boom boom!!

The seventeen evil god-king figures sank, and only by unleashing their auras did they manage not to kneel. Meanwhile, all the other main god-level evil beings were suppressed by the overwhelming evil and malevolent will carried by their gazes, and were forced to lie prostrate on the black clouds, unable to move.

"Greetings to the supreme Lord of the Abyss." All seventeen Abyss God-Kings bowed respectfully and paid their respects.

Faced with this majestic being, even two of the ancient evil beings, who were no less powerful than the evil creature Jiang Jing had killed earlier and were at the peak of the God King realm, showed the utmost respect.

One of them was the skeletal giant that Jiang Jing had severely injured with a single punch across the abyss.

The shadowy figure's eyes, as bright as the sun, were devoid of any emotion, cold as a dead object. It silently looked down at the god-kings and main god-level evil beings who were respectfully bowing, and said indifferently, "Are there only seventeen of you left?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the seventeen evil god-kings, who was over 70,000 meters tall and resembled a dragon-man with three pairs of deformed arms on his back, spoke respectfully.

"Reporting to my lord, while you were asleep, more than a hundred years ago, Cord Altosus used his innate abilities to break through the limitations and go to the prime material universe in an attempt to open a passage, after which he lost contact with it."

"According to the information gathered by the puppets we control, it should be suppressed under the so-called First Forbidden Zone. Its current situation is unknown; we don't know if it has been obliterated."

"Novia Scott Lester made a deal with humanity in the prime material universe while you were asleep, sacrificing her true form. Now she has taken on the trans-world form and embarked on the path of transcendence."

"Because if it can truly break through, the resulting pan-world can serve as a direct passage to the abyss and the prime material universe, so we did not interfere much and let it develop as another backup plan."

"As for Odddin and Lady..." Upon hearing this name, all the god-king level evil gods present tensed up, revealing a hint of apprehension and fear.

"Oddine and Lady were wiped out, right?" The shadowy voice was icy cold, causing all the prostrate chief god-level evil gods to tremble involuntarily.
