In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Fortunately, nothing bad happened to the girl in the end, and Mikiko was also safe and sound, which undoubtedly put Natsuki at ease.

Of course, Xia Mu made such a move simply out of concern and care for the younger generation, but the three girls' faces all turned red at this moment.

"Natsuki-sensei... has she finally acknowledged Sayuri's status...?"

"Shiroshima...Shiroshima understands what Natsuki-sensei means..."

"Am I... dreaming?"

Xia Mu seemed unaware that he was already incredibly charming and likable to the three girls, and this close contact undoubtedly added an even stronger catalyst!

After a while, Xia Mu released his arm. The girl's face was still flushed, and her eyes, which she kept glancing at the man, held a hint of heat.

"..."

Could it be what I'm thinking?

Xia Mu muttered to herself, then, as if remembering something, suddenly asked Sayuri, "By the way, Sayuri, I remember Mr. Peter came to the competition with you, right? How come..."

“Teacher Peter…”

Sayuri chewed on her words, her expression suddenly turning to horror: "Oh no, when those guys attacked me just now, it seems like Peter-sensei was one of the people they knocked away!"

Xia Mu: "..."

Shiroshima: "..."

Rika: "..."

Chapter 83 Global Anomalies

Dubai.

Because of its rich oil resources, Dubai is also home to one of the world's wealthiest people, and luxury cars produced in limited quantities are quite common there.

On the tallest building in the center, thick black mist rose from all around, and on the high platform stood figures dressed in luxurious clothes.

Their eyes rolled back, veins bulging on their faces, and after reaching the edge, they leaped into the air. With a "thud," they crashed to the ground and shattered into pieces!

Then, the second, third, fourth... they lined up and jumped off the platform in a bizarre order.

Until the ground below was stained blood red, and the broken bodies floated in the sea of ​​blood, the moon, which should have been shining with gentle light, suddenly turned bright blood red as well.

……

Congo, Africa.

This is the area with the densest forest vegetation, and due to its underdeveloped state, various tribes still exist within the forest.

In a certain tribe, screams, cries of pain, and maniacal laughter mingled together as laughing tribesmen brandished their weapons at their closest family and friends, turning the place into a bloodbath.

Not only that, after killing them, the laughing men buried their heads in their bodies and began to devour them. Their satisfied expressions were as if they were tasting the most delicious wine in the world, but the blood in their mouths made the scene look extremely terrifying!

Finally, when all the laughing men gathered, they formed some strange symbol with their bodies, then raised their weapons and pointed the blades at themselves!

Pfft pfft pfft!

Blood flowed from their bodies, and after the ground absorbed sufficient "nutrients," the symbols became more pronounced, shimmering with an eerie blood-red light in the dark jungle.

……

Paris.

In this city, which has been defined by "romantic love," something quite strange is happening right now.

Couples, lovers, and spouses, all completely naked, walked onto the street, their eyes fixed on the speeding cars, and the next moment they crashed straight into them!

One tragic scene after another began to unfold in this "romantic city".

The most terrifying thing is that even people whose bodies have been crushed by half and whose lives are hanging by a thread continue to struggle to get up, fix their eyes on the vehicles along the way... or more accurately, on the headlights, and then continue to pounce on them!

Blood and fire began to fill the area, turning it into a hellish scene.

……

Strange and eerie events are occurring in various parts of the world, and in each of these places, a figure shrouded in black mist silently watches over the hell before him.

Until they seemed to realize something, they both looked up, speaking in different languages, but expressing only one noun:

"Tokyo!"

……

Various bizarre events are occurring all over the world, but Xia Mu has no time to pay attention to them at this moment.

Not long ago, after using the Spear of Longinus to kill the Forbidden Species, the holy light within him was almost completely exhausted!

Xia Mu suddenly realized that although this skill seemed powerful, it was ultimately accompanied by terrifying consumption. It could be said that it was a strike that exceeded the limit, which was achieved at the cost of all the holy light at the moment!

That's why Xia Mu was able to defeat the terrifyingly powerful nascent forbidden species. Otherwise, once it fully developed, not only the stadium but the entire city would probably be turned into a scene of hell!

but……

He glanced across at the three girls across the table, each with a distinct style, who were intently staring at the baking pan in the middle.

To be precise, it should be the sizzling, oily beef being grilled, their eyes locked in a fierce battle.

"I said..."

Just as Xia Mu was about to speak, a girl with twin ponytails spoke first: "Now!"

Swish!

The chopsticks, which had appeared in his hand seemingly out of nowhere, went straight for the beef, and in the blink of an eye, he put it in his mouth, letting out a satisfied sigh:

"As expected, when it comes to the best barbecue in the world, it has to be Teacher Xia Mu's!"

The other two girls had just picked up their chopsticks when they saw this and couldn't help but show disappointed expressions. They then turned their gazes to Xia Mu, their eyes filled with the expectation of some fledglings eagerly awaiting food.

Xia Mu could only sigh inwardly, picking up some grilled meat from the box next to him as he said to the others, "I mean, it's just eating grilled meat, does it have to be like a war?"

"Of course it's necessary!"

Sayuri stood up abruptly, hands on her hips, her gaze defiant as she looked at the other two girls: "This is a battle for the position of the main heroine. Even if Teacher Natsuki hands over the sacred artifact to you, I, Sayuri, will absolutely not allow anyone to lay a finger on it—"

Boom!

Before she could finish speaking, Natsuki punched her directly, and Sayuri cried out in pain instantly, tears welling up in her eyes as if they were about to spill over at any moment.

Xia Mu completely ignored her pitiful appearance.

At least I didn't use much force just now. Plus, their bodies are also evolved. If they were really that fragile, they would probably have been killed already. Why would they be eating barbecue together here?

"Alright, the troublesome guy is gone. Can we now eat our barbecue in peace?"

Seeing the smile on Xia Mu's face, the two girls immediately sat up straight and nodded repeatedly. Their obedient appearance made Xia Mu even more satisfied.

"What a nuisance..."

Sayuri muttered something and sat back down. Then, remembering something, she hesitated for a moment before asking Shirashima next to her, "By the way, Shirashima-kun, are you alright now?"

She still remembered that during the daytime battle, if it weren't for Shiroshima, she might have already perished in the gymnasium. After all, her current strength wasn't enough to contend with the Frost Giant.

This is precisely why Sayuri understands even more clearly that Shiroshima must have paid a tremendous price to defeat that Illuminati member; otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this—

Thinking about this, Sayuri suddenly felt a sense of lingering fear. If Natsuki hadn't arrived in time, something might have happened that she would regret for the rest of her life!

Hearing Sayuri's concerned question, Shirashima shook her head, and after secretly glancing at Natsuki, said to Rika in front of her, "Thanks to Rika-san and Natsuki-sensei, my body has fully recovered!"

However, at this moment, Xia Mu looked at the girl, opened his mouth, but still did not say what was in his heart.

Because he discovered that the "curse" surrounding the girl seemed to be more terrifying than he had imagined!

……

Chapter 84 The Way of Heaven

When Xia Mu used holy light to heal Bai Dao's injuries, he found that the difficulty of treatment was several times greater than the last time!

If it weren't for the fact that the [Holy Light Healing] effect had also been enhanced after the upgrade, that girl would probably have already perished!

Although he later learned that the reason why Shiroshima became like this was because he had completely unleashed the power of the ghosts on his body, which led to an increase in the degree of erosion on his body.

But it was clear that the more he used this power, the heavier the burden on Shiroshima would become. If he used it again, Natsuki wasn't even sure if his holy light power would still work on the girl...

Of course, even knowing this, he was quite aware that in certain situations, if faced with a powerful enemy like today, Shiroshima might use it again to protect his own and his comrades' lives!

Unless their [Holy Light Form] can grant them even greater power, perhaps the aforementioned situation can be somewhat avoided...

It seems I need to set aside more time to study how to strengthen the sacred artifacts on them...

Unfortunately, the holy light power within him was almost completely exhausted; otherwise, he could have given it a try now…

Thinking this, Xia Mu glanced at the hair clips on the three girls' hair. This unintentional action, however, stirred up a series of thoughts in the girls' minds once again.

One girl with pigtails was even repeating in her mind, "Natsuki-sensei still loves me the most..."

"Oh, right, Ms. Natsuki."

Rika suddenly spoke up, drawing everyone's attention. Under their intense gazes, she was visibly nervous, but she still managed to voice her doubts.

“I want to know, since those guys are so dangerous, why doesn’t anyone stand up to deal with them, like… like us…”

Natsuki glanced at the other two girls and noticed the curiosity on Sayuri and Shiroshima's faces, as if they had also had this question in their minds for a long time.

Of course, before today, Xia Mu was no different from them. It's worth mentioning again that the information that a certain member of the Illuminati possessed was far too little...

Fortunately, today I absorbed the memories of Frost Giant and Void, and their memories answered some of my questions.

Xia Mu then organized his thoughts before replying, "Actually, the enemy we are facing now is much more cunning than we imagined. Have you ever heard of—the Way of Heaven?"

"The way of heaven?"

Sayuri put her index finger to her lips, then exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be... the one I'm thinking of..."

"Oh?"

Xia Mu and the other two girls looked over. The girl then crossed her arms over her chest, squeezing her already developed breasts into astonishing curves, and hummed as she said:

"Absolutely right, the so-called Heavenly Way must be the being who bestowed upon me a mission of justice, and it was in order to train Sayuri that they created an enemy like the Illuminati—"

"Cough cough!"
