In Tokyo, building the Holy Light Girls team

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Mu coughed, interrupting her. Ignoring her aggrieved expression, he pointed to the ceiling and continued explaining:

"You can think of the Heavenly Way as the power of the Earth, similar to natural selection in biology. When something becomes too powerful and affects the balance of the Earth, the Heavenly Way will appear."

"For example, the Black Death that once ravaged Europe, or the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs, can also be understood as the influence of the heavens in the dark."

Shirashima nodded thoughtfully: "So, that's what Natsuki-sensei meant by 'cunning' just now, right?"

"Yes."

Xia Mu nodded appreciatively, and seeing that the other two girls still looked puzzled, she continued:

"The Illuminati's actions are not as free as you imagine. Once they cause too much influence in a certain area, they will face divine retribution!"

"It could be a death without cause, or it could be some form of punishment. In any case, the will of Heaven, like our lawful society, is imposing restrictions on the Illuminati!"

Sayuri gave a strange look: "Too much impact? Could it be that what happened in the stadium today hasn't reached the bottom line of divine punishment? This is going too far!"

Xia Mu also shrugged and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"This is what I meant by 'cunning' earlier. The scope recognized by the Heavenly Dao seems to be related to the local population and the influence of the natural environment."

"Through long-term operations, the Illuminati has gradually come to understand the laws of Heaven. In the course of their operations, they will try their best to control the scale and avoid attracting the attention of Heaven."

"The black mist that appears when they use it is also a means for the Illuminati to shield themselves from the Heavenly Dao, allowing them to carry out their actions within a limited range. This black mist is also known as the Illuminati's 'safety barrier'!"

Hearing this, Sayuri could no longer hold back and exclaimed, "This is too cunning! Those bad guys, and this Heavenly Dao... I, Sayuri... will absolutely... will never admit it!"

"..."

The girl's chuunibyou-esque remarks seemed to have been used to by the others, who remained calm and immune to them. Shirashima and Rika buried their heads in thought, while a serious look flashed in Natsuki's eyes.

What he didn't say was that, through long-term operations, the Illuminati seemed to have figured out the laws of nature, not only limiting the sacrifice of lives in certain regions to a certain scale, but also casting a wide net to catch more fish, operating quietly in many parts of the world!

Xia Mu couldn't help but complain, as if the damage that humans have done to the Earth's environment in recent years has, to some extent, condoned the "permission" of the Heavenly Dao, and even had a sense of "turning a blind eye" to the actions of the Illuminati!

Of course, the above ideas are ultimately just Xia Mu's speculations. Without substantial evidence, he can only keep them to himself to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.

It is worth mentioning that where there is darkness, there is light. In recent years, many similar official or private organizations have emerged to resist the Illuminati.

After all, no matter how well the black fog conceals itself, it will eventually reveal some clues.

However, in the memories that Xia Mu searched, most of the organizations did not end up well. The reason for this was that they did not have the strength to fight against them.

As for official military equipment, apart from nuclear weapons, most of them are unable to launch effective attacks. The black mist not only isolates the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent, but also suppresses its power.

And nuclear weapons, regardless of their effectiveness, how many countries would be willing to use them against such a elusive organization?

……

Chapter 85 Purpose

That's why Xia Mu became even more determined in his previous idea: in order to protect the people he now values ​​and safeguard a peaceful life, he must constantly grow stronger in order to have the power to fight against them!

Although he still doesn't know the source of the Holy Light power, nor does he know why he awakened this power.

But in any case, now that he has witnessed the dark side of this world, he will not stop his journey to become stronger!

Just as Xia Mu's resolve was completely solidified, a certain girl asked again, "Teacher Xia Mu, the Illuminati... that organization... what exactly is their goal?"

Upon hearing this, Shiroshima and Sayuri immediately showed expressions of surprise, as if they had just realized the most crucial question they had ever faced!

Yes!

No matter what kind of horrific sacrificial experiments they conducted, or the power of ghosts they used, there was always a specific purpose driving them, but they subconsciously forgot about it!

Even the most chuunibyou-ish Sayuri kept her eyes fixed on Natsuki, hoping to get an answer from him.

Unfortunately, Xia Mu shook his head, his face full of helplessness.

"Perhaps it has something to do with rank. The Illuminati members we encountered before were all just following orders from their superiors."

"Even if relevant information is involved, it has been forcibly blocked. At least in the memories I detected, there wasn't much useful information!"

"But one thing is certain—"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the girls, and said seriously:

"No matter their motives, if they threaten your lives, I will never let them go, even if they run to the ends of the earth!"

"Because you are my most important students!"

The three girls clearly weren't listening to what was said after that.

Because, as Xia Mu recited his vows, looking at the resolute expression on his face, and with the added charm of his presence, the girl felt her heart beating faster than ever before!

Even without realizing it, a shy blush appeared on their faces!

"..."

On the other side, even if Natsuki was slow to notice, he could sense that the atmosphere was somewhat subtle, so he immediately changed the subject, including the different levels of the ghosts he had encountered before.

Listening to Xia Mu's words, the girls were finally able to break free from their previous state and also learned more about information they had never encountered before.

"...Such a terrifying thing, and it's only in its embryonic stage? How could such a terrifying forbidden species exist in this world?!"

Sayuri started to complain, thinking about how the monsters she had fought so hard to defeat were only of ordinary level. In the Illuminati, they were no different from ants on the roadside. A sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in her heart.

Sayuri wasn't the only one with this thought; Rika and Shiroshima also subconsciously showed expressions of worry.

If such an enemy appears again next time, will I be able to defeat it as easily as I did?

The outcome is probably not optimistic!

Fortunately, seemingly understanding the girl's thoughts, Xia Mu smiled and said, "Don't worry, although forbidden species are indeed terrifying, using them also requires paying a corresponding price. At least for those Illuminati, they won't easily use the power of forbidden species!"

Xia Mu didn't know the specific cost, only that in his vague memories, it had been a hundred years since the last appearance of the forbidden species.

Moreover, the danger posed by such a terrifying creature is enough to alert the Heavenly Dao. Once it has fully matured, this forbidden species will break through the barrier of the black mist, and the Heavenly Dao will not ignore its threat!

Seemingly remembering something, Xia Mu further explained the Illuminati's organizational information to the girls based on the memories she had previously absorbed.

In addition to the hierarchy of the demons, the Illuminati also has a very strict hierarchy. The size of the letters in the rank letters not only symbolizes their abilities and status, but also strictly defines their level of threat.

Normally, the five members from A to E, because they possess forbidden species, have become the top figures in the organization!

Members at this level already possess the ability to alter the foundations of civilization to a certain extent, including people's cognition and genes.

Every time they take action, it causes tremendous turmoil in the country's power, which is the real reason why the official authorities are wary and dare not use nuclear weapons!

More realistically, not all countries in the world possess unconventional weapons like nuclear weapons!

As for levels F to L, they are capable of disrupting the structure of society, launching a huge impact on human society in terms of economy, law, ethics, and other aspects.

This multifaceted influence has indeed evaded the notice of Heaven. To some extent, it is no less than the game between some countries. In fact, in some wars, the shadow of members of this rank can be seen behind the scenes!

From M to Z, this rank of organization undoubtedly has the largest number of members. They are capable of creating localized panic, such as paranormal phenomena and urban legends in various countries, which are more or less orchestrated by these people.

Even more remarkably, in his hazy memories, Xia Mu saw some members who could control zombies or similar beings.

In a sense, without the checks and balances of the Heavenly Dao, such power alone would probably be enough to trigger a horrific disaster equivalent to the apocalypse!

"...The good news is that these guys are scattered all over the world. As far as I can remember, apart from the three we encountered before, there don't seem to be any other members of this organization in this country. In other words, we can probably take a break for a while!"

After they finished speaking, the three girls still looked very serious, as if the information about the organization that Xia Mu had brought earlier had put them under tremendous pressure!

Of course, this was also Xia Mu's intention.

He was well aware that the enemies he would face in the future might become stronger and stronger. If he was not prepared, there might be a disaster that even he could not predict. This was especially important for these three girls!

"Teacher Xia Mu, the meat is about to burn!"

Hearing Shiroshima's reminder, Natsuki quickly flipped the meat on the grill. Only then did he notice that the girl's gaze had been fixed on the grill in front of her!

So, the seriousness on their faces just now was simply because they were afraid that the meat would burn.

huh?

Did I underestimate them?

……

Chapter 86 I almost thought it was a wedding...

Of course, the truth was not what Xia Mu thought.

"Actually, whether it's those villains from the Illuminati or the Heavenly Dao, they're bound to have feelings of fear!"

"But for us, as long as we can fight alongside Teacher Natsuki, no matter what kind of enemies we encounter in the future, we will definitely win!"

The above words came from a twin-tailed girl. Natsuki never expected that Sayuri, who always exuded a chuunibyou aura, would say such shocking words!

Even after she finished speaking, Shiroshima and Rika nodded repeatedly, seemingly expressing their own thoughts.

It was only then that Xia Mu realized that the girl had clearly grown up after what she had experienced during this period.

Although they may still show some immaturity at times, they are finally qualified to stand by their side and face future crises together!

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Xia Mu's lips. He glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already late at night.

He took out his phone again, but the screen was completely black. He didn't know when it had run out of power, so he just grabbed a charging cable and started charging it. Then he casually tossed the phone onto the bedside table and fell asleep the next moment!

A deep sense of exhaustion washed over Xia Mu as he closed his eyes, and within just a dozen seconds, he drifted off to sleep.

Soon, only the faint sound of someone's breathing remained in the small room, along with a charging icon displayed on a screen...

Time flew by, and when Xia Mu woke up again, he couldn't help but yawn loudly. The next moment, he sensed the surging power within his body and couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Huh, my body seems to have fully recovered!"

Yesterday, because he encountered a powerful forbidden species, he had no time to pay attention to the changes in his body. Only now did he realize that his physical abilities seemed to have reached an unprecedented peak!

With just a little effort, his entire body was lifted off the bed, and he almost hit the ceiling. Fortunately, he reacted in time, forcibly twisted his body, stepped towards the ceiling, and used the force of the push to fall back to the floor!

pat!

Feeling the changes in his body, Xia Mu's face was filled with joy. He even had a feeling that if he didn't use the power of holy light, he would be qualified to fight against those ordinary-level ghosts.

"Speaking of Holy Light, it seems it hasn't fully recovered yet, only to half its original level... Oh well, let's just make do with it for now, these things can't be rushed..."

While muttering to himself, Xia Mu glanced at the alarm clock next to him. Just as he was wondering why it hadn't woken him up, he turned his head and saw that it clearly showed 10:00!

"!!!"

The next second, Xia Mu's expression changed drastically. She grabbed the clothes next to her and ran out of the room in a flash, seemingly forgetting even her fully charged phone.
