I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

The man opposite him, in both aura and appearance, was undoubtedly the one he knew: Tie Feng. But his face, which had completely lost its emotion, his body, deformed and swollen from various surgical modifications, and his flesh covered in bloody cracks, all spoke of his final fate.

[Purple, could you...]

Clenching his teeth and clenching his fists tightly, Li Cheng thought for a moment and then took the initiative to reconnect with Zi's contract, wanting to seek her help.

[…I apologize, Cheng]

However, Zi's reply caused Li Cheng to fall silent once again.

[The power of the boundary can reverse the modifications he underwent. I can easily turn him back to his original form. However, his soul has been erased. What stands before you now is merely a monster made from the corpse of your friend, possessing only the instinct for battle.]

"His soul was erased? Ah, if that's the case, then even his cultivation level is useless..."

Muttering softly, Li Cheng covered his face with his hands, took a deep breath, then released his hands, clenched his fists, and looked at his friend who was gradually approaching.

[Continuing...]

Noticing Li Cheng's emotional fluctuations, Zi wanted to say something, but couldn't think of a way to say it.

Having witnessed Li Cheng's life, she knew clearly that the human who was actually dead was a very good friend to Li Cheng. However, the cruel reality remained unchanged in the slightest.

A soul that has already vanished, whose whereabouts and duration are unknown, cannot be restored even by the power of realms.

Even if one uses the power of realm to forcibly rewind that body, all that is gained is an empty shell without any thoughts.

This is a truth that Li Cheng himself understands.

"Hmph, so your soul was erased. In other words, you bastard, you never gave in until the very last moment?"

Li Cheng laughed.

"If that's the case, then I have to take responsibility and send you on your way."

His gaze gradually sharpened.

"Roar! Aaaaaah!"

Almost simultaneously, sensing the battle intent erupting from Li Cheng, the man suddenly widened his eyes, roared, and his body, which had been moving slowly, suddenly exerted force in the next moment, reaching a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye in the blink of an eye. In a tenth of a second, he moved in front of Li Cheng and threw a heavy punch at him.

boom--

The violent blast wave ripped up the ground and ceiling, even blowing away the collapsing rubble. But immediately afterward, the building, already more damaged by the blast wave, began to collapse even more violently. Amidst the roar, smoke and dust quickly engulfed the bottom of the underground base.

"You've become stronger..."

Wiping the blood from his fingers, Li Cheng stood up from the pile of rubble, only to be met by the ferocious man who had already charged at him.

boom--!!!

An even more violent roar shattered the space within the three-story building. Countless pieces of rubble and equipment were instantly reduced to dust by the impact of the two. The shockwave created a vacuum environment of more than ten meters in an instant.

Li Cheng took a sudden step forward, clenched his fist, dodged the man's swinging attack, and flashed to the man's side. He then turned and punched the man directly in the back of the head, sending him flying like a baseball, crashing through the ceiling and landing on the floor above.

Li Cheng followed closely behind, instantly opening and closing the gap. In the next second, he appeared beside the man who had not yet landed. With a roar, Li Cheng grabbed the man's body and rushed forward, smashing through more than ten walls in one go.

The roar and explosions continued incessantly. Amidst the violent shaking and tremors of the collapsing building, Li Cheng, grabbing the man, smashed through a thick wall and landed in a spacious room that looked like a warehouse. At this moment, the huge room was filled with screaming soldiers and researchers fleeing in all directions; no one even paid attention to the sudden appearance of these two men.

Pressing on the man's chest, Li Cheng suddenly pressed him down hard, slamming him to the ground so hard that the ground caved in. But the next moment, the crazed man threw him down, grabbed his leg, spun him around, and flung him far away.

The man roared and charged at Li Cheng like a wild beast, crashing headlong into the man who had just gotten up. The impact sent Li Cheng flying again, soaring into the air and embedding himself in the wall not far away.

Then, the man grabbed some armored vehicles and tanks parked in the warehouse with one hand and threw them directly towards Li Cheng, smashing them against the wall one by one.

A dark gap opened up right next to the man's face in the next second, and Li Cheng's large hand reached out from it, grabbing the man's head. Li Cheng's figure then rushed out of the gap, and his knee slammed hard into the man's face. Li Cheng could hear the crisp sound of the man's nose bone being shattered.

"After all these years, you still can't learn to fight. So just settle down and be a technical soldier. Why do you have to go and try to be an infiltrator?"

With a sigh, Li Cheng rolled over on the man's head, hooked his elbow around the man's neck, and sent him flying, slamming him hard onto the ground.

Without giving the man a chance to retaliate, Li Cheng used all his strength, amplified by his enhanced power, to deliver a powerful punch to the back of the man's head. The incredibly heavy punch shattered the ground within a radius of over twenty meters, and the shockwave even sent several nearby cars flying.

"Uh...ah...ah..."

Even so, the man was still struggling in a daze and had not completely lost his ability to fight.

Even the man's body was constantly changing; the twisted flesh seemed to be developing a self-awareness, continuously growing and deforming. In less than a few seconds, the man's body had swelled up, and things like eyes and mouths even began to grow on his torso and limbs.

Because his head was damaged by a punch, his body started trying to create new organs to replace his head?

Li Cheng suddenly thought of some horror movies he had seen before, but now he really didn't have the energy to joke about them.

"Bye now……"

Reaching out, he pressed down on the man's struggling body, and a purple halo began to light up in Li Cheng's pupils.

A strange power was released from his hands. The man, who had been struggling wildly and becoming increasingly violent, gradually calmed down at this moment. Then, like sand blown by the wind, his body began to dissipate, turning into countless ashes that slowly drifted into the collapsing underground base.

This is one of the few times that Li Cheng has utilized the power of the gap itself, rather than simply using it to enhance his combat abilities and provide assistance.

[Continue?]

Zi's ​​voice rang in Li Cheng's mind.

"I'm fine. Apart from wanting to kill some people, I'm perfectly fine now."

Taking a deep breath, Li Cheng calmed down and answered Zi, putting her at ease.

However, although he wanted to kill people, his most important task now was to find Shirou Emiya and Illya, which he had not forgotten.

I wonder if the team leader and Logan have made any discoveries. The area is in such a state of collapse that communications seem to be affected to some extent.

Turning around, Li Cheng prepared to leave the square, but the next moment, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

A familiar figure was standing behind him, staring at him expressionlessly.

"teacher?!"

…………

I was supposed to update the new book last night, but I accidentally updated an old book instead. Since I can't withdraw the paid chapters, I thought I'd better just update a chapter of the old book instead.

So I'm back to blow up some corpses, lol~

Chapter 21, Section 379: Chaos - The Moment of Outbreak

Emiya Shirou raised the blade in his hand.

Opposite him was a gigantic monster roaring and charging forward once more.

With a deafening roar, huge cracks appeared in the concrete ground, accompanied by splattered blood from Emiya Shirou's body, and his figure flying backward, crashing heavily onto a bus not far away.

The entire bus collapsed from the middle after being hit. If there had been no one inside, this would have caused extremely serious casualties.

"Hu-hu-"

How many bones in his body are broken?

He was just unconsciously swinging the knife, repeatedly using the strength of that arm.

Repair, project, chop, break.

But we absolutely cannot stop, because we must take her back, we must take her back. We absolutely, absolutely will not let her disappear from our sight again.

The roaring giant was also badly injured and clearly not in good condition. It was also teetering on the brink of collapse, but even so, it held the girl tightly in its arms and never let a speck of dust or blood get on her face.

"Give it...back to me..."

Gritting his teeth, the boy charged forward once again.

At the same time, the monster roared madly and attacked the boy in front of it.

In this city, constantly cracking and shaking due to the deafening earthquake, a boy and a monster are engaged in a fierce battle, while at the same time, in other places, an even greater upheaval is taking place.

Rumble— Rumble—

Building after building collapsed with a deafening roar, as smoke and debris swept across the ground and sky, engulfing the screams of the people.

Further out, those trying to escape the city discovered in panic that a pale barrier had somehow completely blocked out the city, making escape impossible.

"Why can't I get out?!"

"Open it! Open it for me!"

"No, I don't want to die here, God save me!"

People screamed in agony. Some martial artists and magicians tried to attack the barrier, but to no avail. Gunfire also had the same effect.

An atmosphere of despair began to spread.

Chaos erupted continuously from the crowd, and even with the efforts of a few police officers to maintain order, they were completely unable to control the situation. Not far away, atop a broken building, Amakusa Shiro watched the ongoing chaos unfolding below with a blank expression, and suddenly let out a soft sigh.

"The time has come."

He watched as the violence began to escalate amidst the chaos and began to speak to himself.

All the sacrifices, all the deaths, all the efforts, were for today, for this moment, to completely overturn everything.

"The era of the transcendent will come to a complete end here, and the world belonging to ordinary humans is the future that should be ushered in."

"Your sacrifices will be remembered, and your lives will not have been wasted."

"I will...destroy it all!"

With a gritted-teeth sound, Amakusa Shiro swung his hand down heavily.

Let's begin!

boom--

Along with Amakusa's voice, several buildings in the city exploded with deafening roars, and amidst the flames and black smoke rising from the explosions, something burst forth from the firelight.

【■■■■——】

【■■——■——】

Something distorted and indescribable.

That structure was something no living being in this world could possess; it was bizarre, chaotic, and filled with an indescribable sense of disgust and incongruity.

【■■■——】

It was incomprehensible what kind of sound it was—chaotic, shrill, and completely unlike anything a normal living being could make; it was utterly random and meaningless.

It was like that chaotic and twisted structure, viscous, with a bizarre shape covered in sharp teeth. There was no place that could correspond to a normal living creature. The only thing that could be felt was the chilling fear that could be felt just by looking at it.
