Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

She deliberately spread false information among the enemy, inciting their suspicion and infighting.

In the chaos, she learned the location of another key node of the altar and rushed there.

On her way, she encountered several enemies who came to stop her.

These enemies charged forward menacingly, but Vermouth easily dealt with them using her superior combat skills and mysterious abilities.

Her movements were elegant yet deadly; every strike accurately hit the enemy's vitals, as if she were the messenger of death.

Her figure moved among the enemies like a ghost, making it impossible for them to defend against her.

Cao Yu and his mysterious ally finally arrived at the core area of ​​the altar.

They saw a huge container on the altar, filled with the blood of the rampagers.

The blood churned in the container, emitting a chilling glow, as if countless wronged souls were struggling within it.

Chapter 280 Power Awakening

There were also some complex runes and devices around, which were continuously drawing out the energy from the blood and injecting it into the entire ritual.

The "prophets" of the ancient organization stood around the altar, dressed in black robes and wearing eerie masks, chanting incantations.

The voice was deep and eerie, like a call from hell, sending chills down one's spine.

The ceremony had reached a critical moment, and the entire altar was shrouded in a mysterious and evil force.

Without the slightest hesitation, Cao Yu and his mysterious ally rushed toward the altar.

The "prophets" discovered them and shouted, "Stop them! We can't let them ruin the ritual! This is our thousand-year plan, we can't let it all fall apart!" The guards quickly surrounded them and engaged in fierce fighting with Cao Yu and his mysterious allies once again.

While fighting, Cao Yu searched for a way to destroy the altar.

His eyes quickly scanned the altar, and he finally discovered that there was a huge crystal at the core of the altar, where all the energy was gathered.

Destroying this crystal will stop the ritual.

At this moment, he knew that time was of the essence and he had to act as soon as possible.

Just as Cao Yu was about to rush towards the crystal, a "prophet" suddenly unleashed a powerful, mysterious force.

He waved his hands and chanted an ancient incantation, and a black beam of light shot towards Cao Yu like lightning.

The beam of light carried an aura of destruction; wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, producing a piercing sound.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious ally rushed forward without hesitation and used his body to block the beam of light.

He cried out in anguish, "Cao Yu, don't worry about me, go and destroy the crystal! This is our only chance!" Cao Yu felt a pang of pain in his heart, as if a sharp blade had pierced his heart.

But he knew he couldn't hesitate now; time was life, and the fate of the entire world was in his hands.

He gritted his teeth, unleashed all his strength, broke through the guards' defenses, and charged toward the crystal.

His eyes were filled with determination and resolve, and he had only one belief in his heart: he must successfully destroy the crystal and stop the evil ritual of the ancient organization.

With the combined efforts of Amuro Tooru, Conan, Ai Haibara, and Vermouth, other key nodes of the altar were also destroyed one after another.

The rituals of the ancient organization were severely disrupted, and energy began to surge out of control.

The originally orderly flow of energy became chaotic, like a wild horse running rampant.

Energy surged around the altar, causing a violent tremor that shook the entire ritual site.

Cao Yu finally arrived in front of the crystal. With his last bit of strength, he smashed the weapon in his hand hard against the crystal.

With a loud bang, the crystal shattered, and the light vanished instantly.

The energy in the berserker's blood dissipated, and the forbidden ritual was successfully stopped.

The deafening roar was like a victory horn, proclaiming the evil of the ancient organization.

In the core area of ​​the altar, on that battlefield that seemed to be completely shrouded in the shadow of death, the air seemed to be solidified by fear and tension, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Cao Yu is engaged in a thrilling and extremely dangerous life-or-death struggle with the guards of the ancient organization.

These guards were like demons crawling out of the deepest, darkest abyss of hell, exuding a chilling aura of evil.

The weapons they wielded glowed eerily and flickered, like ghostly flames from hell, appearing and disappearing in the dim light, reflecting their twisted, ferocious, and utterly inhuman faces, sending chills down one's spine.

With each attack, these guards were imbued with a mysterious and evil power, like black lightning tearing through the void, rushing towards Cao Yu with overwhelming force.

Wherever that power passed, space seemed to be torn open with invisible cracks, emitting sharp whistling sounds, as if mourning this tragic battle.

With the immense power bestowed upon him by his unique genes, Cao Yu stood like an unyielding mountain, stubbornly resisting wave after wave of attacks.

Amidst the enemy's relentless and dense attacks, his figure moved like a rapidly spinning black whirlwind, constantly weaving and counterattacking. Every movement showcased astonishing combat skills and unwavering, tenacious will.

Cao Yu knew that he bore the heavy responsibility of stopping the evil ritual of the ancient organization. This was not only a matter of life and death for countless people in Tokyo, but also a matter of peace and tranquility for the entire world.

Chapter 281 Strange Power

He must not fall here, even if the enemy before him is like endless darkness, trying to devour him.

Every time he dodged an attack, he was as sharp as a cheetah, able to instantly seize the enemy's fleeting weakness and then retaliate with lightning speed.

His movements were as swift as a ghost, and his strength was so great that it seemed capable of shaking the heavens and the earth, leaving those who witnessed it in awe.

However, the enemy's attacks were like surging waves, one after another, showing no sign of stopping, as if they were going to completely drown him.

However, the eerie power wielded by the ancient organization's guardians seemed like a curse from the abyss of darkness, containing a strange and chilling magic.

As the battle continued, this power, like an invisible and icy tentacle as cold as millennia-old ice, was slowly seeping into Cao Yu's body in a silent yet unstoppable manner.

Cao Yu suddenly felt an unprecedentedly strong impact, like a devastating tsunami. It was as if a strange and powerful force, almost terrifying, was rampaging through his body, desperately trying to break free of his restraints, like a mad beast trapped in a cage, struggling to break free of its shackles.

That power raged wildly within his body. Cao Yu could clearly feel his meridians being pulled by an invisible yet incredibly powerful force, and every inch of his skin felt like it was being burned by raging fire or cut by a sharp blade.

The pain felt like sharp steel needles piercing his body, causing large beads of sweat to appear on his forehead and slide down his cheeks.

Immediately afterwards, the flow of power that he was once as familiar as breathing every day suddenly became chaotic, as if he had fallen into a crazy, out-of-control vortex.

The power surged wildly within him, completely out of control, like a wild horse that had broken free, causing him to feel a dizzying sensation, as if the whole world was turning upside down before his eyes.

At this critical moment, a completely new and powerful force, so strong that it made one's heart almost stop beating, awakened within him like a long-dormant volcano suddenly erupting.

That power was like magma surging to its limit, roaring and surging through Cao Yu's veins with overwhelming force, as if it would burst his body and destroy all obstacles in its way.

This newly awakened power was far more powerful than anyone imagined, instantly granting Cao Yu terrifying strength enough to easily knock away surrounding enemies.

With a mere wave of his hand, he unleashed a seemingly effortless movement that contained earth-shattering power, easily sending several guards flying like ants.

They traced desperate arcs in the air, then crashed heavily to the ground with pitiful screams, their cries echoing as they struggled in agony, as if enduring endless torment.

But at the same time, this force also brings enormous and extremely deadly danger.

It was like a wild and untamed beast, wild and unruly, not entirely under Cao Yu's control, and was gradually eroding his self-awareness.

Cao Yu felt as if his consciousness was in a boundless, thick, and impenetrable fog, becoming increasingly blurred. The firm rationality deep within him was being devoured little by little by a dark and evil power, like a demon from the abyss.

His eyes gradually lost their former clarity and determination, replaced by chaos and madness, as if his mind had been completely taken over by demons, and he had become a puppet of dark forces.

Not far away, Conan and Amuro Tooru witnessed a series of heart-wrenching changes happening to Cao Yu.

With his keen, eagle-like insight, Conan instantly realized that the situation had become extremely critical.

He knew that Cao Yu was in an extremely dangerous situation. He not only had to face the ancient organization's wolves-like, fierce and brutal enemies, but also had to fight a life-or-death battle against the out-of-control and powerful force within him that was like a cataclysmic disaster.

Amuro Tooru also realized the seriousness of the situation. He and Conan exchanged a glance, and in each other's steely gaze, they saw an unwavering and resolute determination in each other's hearts.

Chapter 282, Collapse at Any Moment

Without the slightest hesitation, the two resolutely disregarded their own safety and ventured towards Cao Yu's direction. Their figures appeared so small on this dangerous battlefield, yet so resolute, like two brave stars trying to illuminate the darkness.

At this moment, Cao Yu was completely controlled by his newly awakened power.

His eyes gleamed with an eerie, icy light, like two burning black flames that seemed capable of burning everything around them to ashes.

His body was surrounded by a thick, ink-like black energy halo, as if it were a curse from the deepest part of hell, exuding an aura that chilled people to the bone.

Wherever he went, the ground seemed unable to withstand the pressure of his immense power, leaving deep footprints. The surrounding air was also distorted and deformed, emitting chilling sounds as if they came from the depths of hell. It was as if the entire space was twisted and shattered under the ravages of this power, and could collapse at any moment.

The guards of those ancient organizations, under the impact of this powerful force, fell to the ground without any resistance, like fragile fallen leaves swept by a whirlwind, instantly losing their ability to fight.

But Cao Yu did not stop attacking. He seemed to have become a ruthless machine that only knew how to kill, completely losing his mind and continuing to launch a frenzied attack without distinguishing between friend and foe.

He waved his arms wildly, and black energy waves surged from his hands like a raging torrent, mercilessly destroying everything in their path.

The walls were instantly shattered by the energy wave, and stones flew everywhere like raindrops. The surrounding environment became a mess. The once intact core area of ​​the altar had now become a ruin, as if it had experienced the end of the world.

As Conan and Amuro approached Cao Yu, every step they took felt like walking on thin ice, as if they were treading on a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

They remained constantly vigilant against the spread of that out-of-control force. With each step forward, they could feel the immense pressure it exerted, as if an invisible, enormous hand, as large as a mountain, was trying to push them away.

Their bodies trembled slightly under the pressure, their muscles tense, as if they might be crushed by the force at any moment.

But their eyes were incredibly firm, showing no sign of retreat. The determination and resolve in their eyes seemed to be declaring to this powerful dark force that they would never yield.

Suddenly, Cao Yu turned around abruptly, like a furious beast enraged to the extreme, and unleashed a black energy wave towards Conan and Amuro Tooru.

The energy wave was like a black dragon with bared fangs and claws, rushing towards us with a terrifying aura of destruction. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart by an invisible blade, emitting a sharp whistling sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Conan and Amuro Tooru's faces turned deathly pale instantly, and they quickly sought cover.

The energy wave struck the wall beside them, instantly shattering it into pieces. Debris rained down, raising a thick cloud of dust.

Dust filled the air, choking them so much they could barely breathe, and completely obstructing their vision.

"This won't do, we have to find a way to wake Cao Yu!" Conan shouted from the dust, his voice firm and anxious, carrying an undeniable determination, as if trying to pierce through the thick dust and reach Cao Yu's heart.

His eyes were fixed on Cao Yu, his brain working like a high-speed, sophisticated machine, rapidly searching for a way to rescue Cao Yu.

Every thought flashed through his mind as he continuously analyzed the situation, trying to find even the slightest possibility of awakening Cao Yu.

Amuro Tooru nodded in agreement, observing Cao Yu's actions while considering countermeasures.

“Cao Yu has completely lost his mind. It’s very difficult for us to get close to him, but we can’t just stand by and watch him continue like this.” Amuro Tooru knew that Cao Yu was like a time bomb about to explode, which could cause devastating damage to everything around him at any moment.

Just then, Cao Yu launched another attack.

This time, his targets were Conan and Amuro Tooru.

He flashed forward like a black lightning bolt, so fast that they could barely react.

Chapter 283 Anxious and Distant

Conan and Amuro Tooru quickly separated, trying to distract Cao Yu.

Amuro Tooru used his agility, which was as nimble as a monkey, to dodge Cao Yu's attacks during the gaps in his attacks, while looking for opportunities to get close to Cao Yu.

His figure darted nimbly through Cao Yu's storm-like attacks, like a nimble cheetah evading a hunter in the jungle.

Conan dodged while observing Cao Yu's attack patterns, trying to find his weakness.

His eyes were fixed intently on Cao Yu's every move, not missing a single detail, as if he wanted to etch every action of Cao Yu into his mind in order to find a way to break through it.

"Mr. Amuro, I noticed that Cao Yu pauses briefly before launching a powerful attack! This might be our chance to get close to him!" Conan shouted to Amuro.

His voice was exceptionally loud in the noisy battlefield, like a booming bell, and Amuro Tooru was delighted to hear it.

He immediately focused his attention on Cao Yu, waiting for that crucial moment.

Amuro Tooru stared intently at Cao Yu, his eyes unblinking, as if trying to capture every subtle movement Cao Yu made.

As expected, Cao Yu paused slightly as he prepared to launch another powerful attack.

Amuro Tooru seized the moment and rushed towards Cao Yu like a black shadow.

He rushed to Cao Yu's side at lightning speed, attempting to grab Cao Yu and stop him from continuing his attack.

However, Cao Yu's power was simply too great.

Just as Amuro Tooru hugged Cao Yu, a powerful, tsunami-like force of recoil came from Cao Yu.

Amuro Tooru felt as if he were holding a super bomb that was about to explode, and a huge force suddenly pushed him away.

Amuro Tooru fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood that stained the ground beneath him.

His body rolled several times on the ground before finally stopping, his face contorted in pain, his body twitching slightly from the agony.

Seeing this, Conan was extremely anxious.

He knew he couldn't keep trying blindly like this; he had to come up with a more comprehensive solution.

Just as he was pondering this, he suddenly remembered some characteristics of Cao Yu's special genes that his mysterious ally had mentioned before.

Perhaps, only by exploiting some deep-seated emotion within Cao Yu can his reason be awakened.

While dodging Cao Yu's attacks, Conan shouted, "Cao Yu! Think of the people of Tokyo, think of those who suffer because of the ancient organization! You can't be controlled by this power!" His voice was infectious, trying to awaken the kindness and justice deep in Cao Yu's heart. His voice seemed to have a magical power, echoing in this dark battlefield.
