In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

"I know that look in your eyes all too well. You want to kill me right now, but unfortunately, once you kill me, the Demon King will hatch from the egg. Are you scared? Hahahaha..."

Shenyi's loud laughter came from within the black robe. Xia Mu looked at the other party with a gloomy expression, but still couldn't help asking, "Why? You are clearly humans from this planet, yet you would do such a thing..."

With his current strength, after devouring the soul crystal of that super forbidden ghost, he was able to obtain most of the information, including their memories before joining the Illuminati. In his memory, they were also human beings like himself. Because of this, Xia Mu was filled with doubt as to why they hated this planet so much, and even wished to transform into ghosts to awaken that terrible demon king and try to destroy this world!

As a result, after Xia Mu finished asking the question, Shen Yi looked at him with a strange look: "You must have misunderstood. From beginning to end, I never said that I was a native of this world. Anyway, there is not much time left, so I might as well tell you. My predecessor was a being from the world of Ragna!"

Ragnar?

When Xia Mu heard the previous words, he was still a little confused. He almost thought that the other person was also a person who had traveled from Blue Star like him. But then he heard the word "Lagna".

Wait, if I remember correctly, during the fusion of the phantom of the cross necklace, the scene that appeared in my memory, the world that the Demon King destroyed, seemed to be called Ragnar.

Then, Shenyi's next words confirmed Xia Mu's guess.

"The world of Ragna, where I once lived, was just like this place, where everyone lived in peace and did their best to pursue happiness. However, one day, the arrival of the Demon King brought a terrible crisis to the world of Ragna..."

As God spoke, an angry expression appeared on his face, as if recalling some terrifying scene that brought him back to that world.

"...Such a lovely world, yet it was directly destroyed by the Demon King. My wife, daughter, friends, and so many important people died in that disaster. For me, it was a nightmare I will never forget..."

"Unexpectedly, by a twist of fate, I didn't die, but instead transmigrated to this world..."

"When I first transmigrated here, I witnessed the prosperity of this world. In a sense, this planet was very similar to my hometown. The people lived in peace and contentment. Even when there were occasional wars, they would fight desperately to protect their hard-won lives. I have to say, at that time, I really had the idea of ​​settling down and living in this world..."

As he spoke, a terrifying smile appeared on Shenyi's face, as if he truly had, as he said, tried to survive in this world back then...

Hearing this, Xia Mu became even more puzzled and asked, "If that's the case, then why..."

"Because, not long after I transmigrated here, I discovered that this [Demon King's Egg] had also come to this world with me. And because of its arrival, I recalled everything that happened in the world of Ragnar..."

"Looking at the humans living happily before me, I felt deeply resentful. Why must my most important people, my country, and even the world suffer such a catastrophe, when they are all living beings? So, at that time, I had this thought in my mind: since the [Demon King's Egg] also came to this world with me, it must be a sign that the Demon King will also descend upon this world. Since this fate is already irreversible, then I will use my body to hasten the moment of destruction. Thus, the Illuminati was born..."

Upon hearing the final words, even Xia Mu couldn't control the change in his expression. His eyes trembled, and the cross mark within him trembled slightly in response to his changing emotions!

He finally understood what kind of being the God One before him was. "Madman" was the most fitting title for him. Despite being a victim of the disaster himself, he tried to drag this world into the disaster after transmigrating. What else could describe the God One at this moment but "madman"?

While Xia Mu was in shock, Shen Yi seemed oblivious to his emotions and continued talking to himself:

"...In order to awaken this [Demon King's Egg], I tried many methods. Through continuous experiments, I realized that only a massive amount of life could bring the Demon King back to life in this world!"

"Coincidentally, after obtaining this [Demon King's Egg], I discovered that I could control ghosts and even transfer this power to more like-minded people. It's truly amazing. Those guys knew perfectly well that my plan was to destroy this world, yet they still became Ghost Tamers without hesitation, even willingly merging their last bit of life into the [Demon King's Egg] to further catalyze the Demon King's maturation. Don't you think that's really amazing? Hahahaha..."

Shen Yi laughed again, his mouth full of mockery towards his former "comrade". At least in Xia Mu's eyes, this guy had been completely overwhelmed by the inner demon of destroying the world. All his methods were only to overthrow the world and turn his past resentment into the power to awaken the demon king!

Unfortunately—

Xia Mu's eyes narrowed, and he said softly, "I do not agree!"

……

Chapter 318 Space

"Oh?"

As soon as the god raised his head, his face beneath the black robe was fully revealed. Spotted crystals were scattered on both sides of his eyes, and the blue vertical pupils within them truly highlighted his inhuman identity.

"You don't agree?"

Xia Mu's gaze was deep as he said again, "No matter what your past is like, everyone in this world, and all life, is innocent! And, to protect the person most important to me, I cannot allow your plan to succeed, no matter what!"

In fact, although Natsuki was also a transmigrator like Shinichi, and had only been in this world for less than a year, he gradually came to see himself as a member of this world through his interactions with Sayuri, Mai, Mikiko, Shirashima, and others, and developed indescribable feelings for them. In order to protect this hard-won happiness, Natsuki would not sit idly by and watch the disaster that once destroyed the world of Ragna happen again!

Furthermore, having experienced the time travel incident, Xia Mu couldn't be sure whether he would perish along with the world if it were destroyed. He wouldn't put his uncertain future on a rare probability that had only happened once!

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Xia Mu has every reason to stop this disaster, not only for the most important people, but also for himself. This is the purpose for which Xia Mu has fought so hard!

After hearing Xia Mu's words, Shen Yi's vertical pupils widened slightly, his eyes narrowed as if he were scrutinizing something, and then he snorted coldly: "You hateful eyes. I used to have the same eyes as you, but so what? The arrival of the Demon King is inevitable. Why not kneel down with me with the utmost sincerity to welcome the birth of my king?"

"How could such a thing be possible?!"

Without further hesitation, Xia Mu vanished instantly and reappeared in front of Shen Yi. To Shen Yi's astonishment, he kicked out with his leg!

boom!

The powerful force instantly sent Shen Yi flying high into the air. Now, after defeating that super forbidden species, his strength has increased even further. Even Shen Yi couldn't see through Xia Mu's movements and didn't even have time to react before being kicked into the air.

What is he trying to do?

The moment the thought crossed Shen Yi's mind, he saw Xia Mu's wings flap behind him. With a "whoosh" sound, the man disappeared from his spot and then approached Shen Yi at a terrifying speed. In just a few blinks, he was right below Shen Yi and placed his palm on his chest.

pat!

Seeing the doubt in Shen Yi's eyes, Xia Mu coldly said, "I already know that all life that disappears in this area will become nutrients for the hatching of the Demon King's Egg. However, this area cannot be limitless. Otherwise, you could have covered the entire planet from the beginning. In other words, as long as you are sent to a certain altitude and killed, the hatching of the Demon King's Egg can be slowed down!"

"you!!!"

At this moment, a look of fear finally appeared on Shenyi's face. His gaze fell on the [Demon King's Egg] below, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.

"So what if you've discovered it? The range of energy absorption is far beyond your imagination. Do you really think that such a thought alone can stop my plan? Don't be so naive!"

Having said that, Shen Yi's demonic power surged, his black robe ripped open, revealing his bluish-black skin beneath. Terrifying blood vessels and meridians pulsated beneath his skin, and in just a short while, his entire body swelled to several meters in size, on the verge of bursting at any moment—

"Give up! In my current state, you absolutely cannot stop me before I leave this area! Once I, the King, arrive, this world will be completely destroyed. Happiness, peaceful life—all will be annihilated! Hahahaha..."

God's unrestrained laughter emanated from his mouth. Looking at Him now, after several expansions, His body had become a huge sphere. Compared to Him, Xia Mu looked like a tiny insect, the difference in size was enormous!

However, Xia Mu's expression remained unchanged at this moment. His palm was still pressed against Shen Yi's swollen body, the cross necklace fluttered in the wind, and the cross mark in his eyes once again shone with a faint light!

"Giving up is something I, Xia Mu, would never do! As long as there's even a sliver of hope, I will absolutely not let your plan succeed! Mai! Sayuri! Shirashima! Rika! Mikiko! Nanako! Kato! Miyamoto! Mizuno! And everyone who has ever entered my life! To maintain this peace, I will absolutely stop you!!!"

Xia Mu shouted, and the holy light power on his body spread out at an extremely fast speed. The holy light wings behind him also changed in an instant due to the surge of holy light energy. They not only became longer and larger, but also grew fiery red sparks at the tips of the feathers. With the flapping of Xia Mu's wings, the sparks flashed and brought an even more terrifying speed, propelling the god to rise further into the sky!

"it turns out……"

God's pupils dilated.

He thought that with his current methods, he could make Xia Mu give up completely, but the other party did not waver at all. Instead, he erupted with even stronger emotions. At least in the moment of eye contact, he saw a strong will that was becoming more and more terrifying as time went by!

No!

The plan has reached this stage!

The hatching of the Demon King's Egg is imperative. In order for my king to be born safely, I absolutely cannot die in this way!

Thinking of this, the energy within God One expanded even more terrifyingly, reaching a scale of nearly a hundred meters in a short period of time. One could even see through His skin the energy torrent that seemed ready to explode at any moment. It was certain that if His plan succeeded, this energy torrent would become the final stimulant for the hatching of the Demon King's Egg, and the Demon King's resurrection seemed to be just around the corner!

Xia Mu was equally unyielding, its wings flapping behind it, its speed constantly increasing. From the outside, it looked like a fiery red meteor dragging a huge sphere, trying to send it to an even more terrifying height in the sky.

Finally, when the altitude reached a point where the clouds thinned, the temperature dropped, and a corner of space could be seen overhead, the energy torrent within God One's body reached a certain limit. Under his fanatical gaze, accompanied by a deafening sound, the sphere in which He had transformed exploded!

Rumble!!!

……

Chapter 319 A Cry of Ten Thousand Ghosts

Rumble!!!

An incredibly violent explosion resounded in outer space. The area below was obscured by black mist, making it impossible to see clearly. However, if viewed from a vacuum, a giant mushroom-shaped cloud could be seen rising from the planet's surface, with the black mist below resembling land, creating a bizarre and surreal scene.

Normally, an explosion of this scale would be enough to wipe out a small country. However, since it occurred in a near-vacuum zone, the impact of the commotion was significantly suppressed.

When the view shifts to the center of the explosion, a figure with a bare upper body is panting heavily. Horrible wounds cover his exposed skin. Even Xia Mu, after experiencing such a terrifying explosion, was not able to completely withstand it. Fortunately, the flow of holy light allowed him to fully recover from his surface injuries in just a short while.

Click, click!

After Xia Mu recovered from his injuries, streaks of azure ice crystals emerged from his body. This is a phenomenon that inevitably occurs when life goes to outer space. The extreme low temperature can even cause species to die instantly, with only a few microorganisms surviving.

However, Xia Mu only glanced down at it, and then the power of holy light surged, causing the ice crystals on the surface to shatter and disappear into tiny, sparkling specks. For him now, his physique had long since reached a superhuman level. Even the so-called superhumans in the fantasy world were nothing more than beings that Xia Mu could easily deal with with a flick of his wrist. Being immune to the low temperatures of space was not a difficult task for him. If he didn't need oxygen, he could probably move freely in space. As for the exact extent of his strength, perhaps even Xia Mu himself was not entirely sure.

Xia Mu carefully sensed the situation and confirmed that Shen Yi's life fluctuations had completely disappeared. Then, he flapped his wings and moved quickly downwards. In no time, he arrived above the clouds where he had been standing.

pat!

A sound like hitting solid ground came from beneath his feet. Xia Mu retracted his wings, looked at the [Demon King's Egg] in front of him, and felt a little relaxed.

Based on my perception just now, for the [Demon King's Egg] to fully recover, it would need at least one forbidden species, namely, the energy at the level of a Divine Soul Force. Even if it were ordinary ghosts, it would require at least tens of thousands to barely be enough. And in the fierce battle just now, the number of ghosts that perished was countless—how could it possibly be enough?

The moment this thought crossed Xia Mu's mind, his expression changed slightly. He saw that the energy flow within the Demon King's Egg was expanding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Terrifying cracks appeared on the outermost layer of the eggshell, and a chilling aura emanated from the cracks. He could even vaguely see a giant eye awakening from its distant slumber, announcing its arrival to the world!

"What... happened?"

Rewinding to a few minutes earlier, somewhere beneath the black mist, Miyamoto Rei looked up at the faintly surging black mist in the sky and muttered softly, "Strange, it seems like the aura of something has disappeared. Could it be..."

As if struck by a sudden realization, a look of delight flashed in her eyes: "I know! It must be Teacher Xia Mu! Teacher Xia Mu must have defeated those guys! That's why this is happening! The world is saved!"

Her voice instantly drew the attention of those around her, including a twin-tailed girl who had been staring blankly at the sky, who rushed over immediately: "Miyamoto, what did you say? Natsuki-sensei is now..."

However, as soon as the girls approached, they heard a rumbling, buzzing sound coming from all around them. They instinctively looked around and saw ghostly figures emerging from the ruins. Their soul power varied, ranging from ordinary level 1, 2, and 3 ghosts to those with dangerous soul power. Their numbers were staggering; the girls could see at least several thousand, and looking further into the distance, the numbers were even denser. The terrifying ghosts roared at each other, making the already desolate world even more like a hell from a fantasy story!

Roar!

Roar! !

Roar! ! !

"Damn it! These guys! Weren't they supposed to have been completely wiped out? How come they're showing up again?!"

Sayuri didn't have time to ask Rei Miyamoto. As soon as the group of ghosts appeared, she immediately placed her fingers lightly on the bear clips on her head. Shiroshima, Rika, Nanako, Rei Miyamoto, and Mai also prepared for battle, silently chanting in unison, "Holy Light!"

hum-

As the power of holy light surged, they all transformed into their holy light forms once again. As for Mikiko and Kato Yuri, they skillfully hid behind others, their gazes towards the surrounding ghosts carrying an unavoidable hint of fear.

clang!

Sayuri took the lead, drawing her weapon and imbuing the blade with holy light. Her fierce aura was ready to be unleashed at any moment. Just as she took a step, she heard Shiroshima's voice from beside her: "Wait, something's not right!"

"?"

Shiroshima's reminder caused everyone's gaze to instinctively turn to the ghosts. When they noticed that the ghosts had all frozen up after they appeared, they immediately showed puzzled expressions.

"What's going on? What are they doing...?"

Rei Miyamoto used bandages to wrap around one of the ghosts and pulled it over. Before it even got close, the ghost's body reacted violently, its entire body rapidly expanding. In just a moment, it exploded. Fortunately, Rei Miyamoto noticed the ghost's abnormality in advance and threw it into the air before it exploded!

boom!!!

"Cough cough cough, what's going on?"

Rei Miyamoto coughed a few times, and the bandages danced in the air, carrying the limbs and fragments away. Before anyone could figure out why, the bodies of the demons reacted in a similar way, rapidly expanding and exploding into bursts of sparks. Even the demons that had reached the dangerous species level did the same.

boom!
