Detective Conan: Starting with Yukiko covered in black stockings!

Seeing this, Cao Yu was extremely anxious.

He knew that the current methods of attack were insufficient to defeat the enemy, and that a more effective approach must be found, otherwise the battle would be doomed.

At this moment, the Guardian's voice rang in his mind, clear and powerful like a bell, as if guiding him in the darkness: "Cao Yu, concentrate your energy and guide the artifact to merge with my power, so as to completely destroy their dark power with the power of purification."

This is our only chance, and the key to saving the world.

Only by uniting our strength can we defeat the evil before us.

Cao Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety and worry, and focused all his attention on the artifact as instructed by the guardian.

He closed his eyes, cleared his mind of all distractions, and focused entirely on feeling the power of the artifact, as if he had become one with it.

The artifact shone brightly, gradually merging with the guardian's radiance. The two powerful forces intertwined and collided, creating a dazzling light, like the collision of two stars, forming an even more powerful purifying force.

This purifying power, like a surging torrent, seemed capable of washing away all evil in the world, carrying a sacred mission and the hopes of all, as it swept towards the enemy.

Cao Yu roared, unleashing his power at the Superintendent General and the crime syndicate leader. His voice was as loud as thunder, filled with power and determination.

The power of purification, like a raging torrent, instantly overwhelmed the enemy with overwhelming force.

Chapter 365 is almost suffocating.

The superintendent of police and the crime syndicate leader were enveloped by this power, letting out agonizing screams like the howls of wounded wild beasts, sending chills down one's spine.

Their dark shields crumbled rapidly under the impact of the purifying power, melting away like ice and snow under the scorching sun.

The dark tentacles dissipated, turning into wisps of black smoke that vanished into the air as if they had never existed.

The two tried to resist, frantically unleashing their dark power in an attempt to contend with the purifying force. But faced with this powerful purifying force, their struggles seemed so futile, like ants trying to shake a tree, utterly insignificant.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, an unexpected event occurred.

Suddenly, the Superintendent of Police pulled out a mysterious crystal from his person. The crystal contained powerful dark energy, like a dark vortex, constantly spinning and emitting a chilling aura, as if it were a black hole that devoured everything.

He poured the crystal into the altar, and the already weakened power of the awakened evil god was strengthened once again.

The aura of the evil god grew stronger, as if the entire space was filled with this evil power, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The dark clouds in the sky grew even thicker, as if they were about to collapse at any moment, crushing the earth to pieces, and the world seemed to have fallen into an abyss of despair once again.

The guardian's figure began to become somewhat illusory, and its voice became somewhat weak, but it still said firmly: "Not good, they are using the power of the evil god to launch a backlash."

We must all unite and prevent the evil god from awakening! This is our final battle; let us fight with all our might for the future of the world! We cannot let evil succeed, nor can we allow countless lives to be plunged into suffering and despair!

Cao Yu and the others knew the situation was critical, and without hesitation, they used all their skills.

Ignoring the danger, the team members charged towards the altar like tigers, attempting to destroy the device the Superintendent General used to enhance the power of the evil god.

The device emitted an eerie light and was surrounded by a dark aura, as if resisting their approach. With each step closer, they could feel a powerful resistance, as if countless invisible hands were pulling them away.

The team members were under immense pressure, both physically and mentally, due to the corrosive influence of the dark forces. The dark forces, like countless tiny insects, were trying to burrow into their bodies and erode their souls, causing them unbearable pain.

But they did not back down, and steadily moved closer to the device, with only one belief in their hearts: to stop the evil god from awakening and save the world.

Amuro Tooru then directed the public security forces to launch a distraction attack on the Superintendent General and the crime syndicate leader, buying time for his team members.

The police officers were brave and fearless. They constantly changed their attack methods, with flames, bullets, and flashbangs intertwining like a dazzling yet deadly fireworks display, trying to disrupt the enemy's rhythm.

The Superintendent General and the crime syndicate leader were overwhelmed by the attacks, but they continued to resist with their powerful dark forces, launching counterattacks from time to time and posing a certain threat to the public security forces.

The dark forces surged towards the public security forces like a black tide, wave after wave, attempting to overwhelm them.

Asking for flowers

Vermouth also rejoins the battle, and she and Amuro Tooru work together seamlessly, launching attacks on the enemy from different directions.

Vermouth constantly changed positions, moving across the battlefield like a ghost, harassing the enemy with her weapon and drawing their attention.

Her attacks were as unpredictable as a ghost, sometimes attacking from the left and sometimes from the right, making it impossible for the enemy to defend against them.

Amuro Tooru seized the moment when the enemy was distracted and launched a fierce attack. His weapon emitted a powerful energy beam, which shot towards the enemy like a laser. The enemy had to be distracted to deal with it, making it difficult for them to fully stop the team members from destroying the device.

In the midst of fierce fighting, one of the team members finally managed to get close to the device.

He ignored the corrosive power of darkness, which was like countless tiny insects trying to burrow into his body and erode his soul, causing him unbearable pain.

But he gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and used all his strength to smash the device to pieces.

As the device shattered, a deafening roar, like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting, weakened the power of the awakened evil god once more, and the guardian's figure gradually stabilized.

The shattered fragments of the device flew everywhere, as if representing the collapse of dark forces.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Superintendent of Police's eyes gleamed with madness. His face was contorted with anger and despair, like that of a crazed demon: "No! We can't let you destroy all of this!" He rushed towards his team members, desperately trying to restart the device.

Chapter 366 The Power of Belief

Upon seeing this, Cao Yu rushed over to stop him.

The two engaged in a fierce battle beside the altar.

Although the Superintendent General is advanced in years, his strength should not be underestimated thanks to the power of darkness.

His attacks were fierce and ruthless, each punch carrying a dark aura, as if to devour Cao Yu, and each attack contained destructive power.

Cao Yu, relying on the power of the divine weapon and his indomitable will, struggled against him.

Cao Yu skillfully dodged the Superintendent General's attacks, like a nimble cheetah, while searching for an opportunity to counterattack.

The artifact in his hand shimmered, emitting beams of light from time to time in an attempt to weaken the Superintendent General's dark power. The light was like a sharp sword, piercing towards the enemy.

At the crucial moment, Cao Yu spotted the Superintendent General's weakness; it was a fleeting instant.

Without hesitation, he forcefully inserted the artifact into the core of his dark power.

The Superintendent of Police let out a scream as the dark forces instantly collapsed, like a crumbling building turning into countless fragments.

His body collapsed to the ground, powerless to resist, like a venomous snake that had lost its strength.

Meanwhile, the crime syndicate leader, seeing that all was lost, was filled with fear and despair.

He tried to escape, running frantically into the distance like a stray dog.

The moment the Superintendent of Police and the crime syndicate leader were temporarily subdued, time seemed to stand still on the battlefield. The clamor receded like a tide, replaced by a chilling silence.

The silence was like a cold, piercing shell, tightly enveloping everyone.

Every breath of air seemed to be frozen by the invisible hand of fear, the oppressive atmosphere so intense it was almost suffocating.

Before the tension that had gripped everyone after their brief victory could even ease for a moment, an even more powerful and extremely malevolent aura erupted from the paralyzed Superintendent of Police, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly bursting forth.

That aura, like a materialized dark tide, surged and spread outwards with an overwhelming and unstoppable force.

Wherever it went, the air seemed to be instantly assaulted by absolute zero, making a hissing sound, just like the wailing of fragile glass about to shatter when it could not withstand the great pressure.

The remaining light was mercilessly devoured by this dark aura, which turned the already dim battlefield into pitch black, as if the entire world had been dragged into an endless abyss of darkness, into an eternal silence, devoid of any life or hope.

The Superintendent of Police slowly rose from the ground, his eyes flashing with an eerie light, like two will-o'-the-wisps burning fiercely from the deepest part of hell. The light was filled with endless gloom and terror, as if a single glance would freeze a person's soul in an endless abyss of fear, from which there was no escape.

He was surrounded by a dense, almost tangible, dark mist. This mist seemed to have come alive, resembling ferocious, monstrous beasts that churned and surged wildly, as if trying to devour everything around them.

Within the mist, grotesque faces could be vaguely seen, their features twisted and deformed, every inch of their outlines filled with pain and resentment, as if they were vengeful spirits imprisoned in this dark cage, struggling madly and desperately, emitting screams as mournful as ghosts wailing.

The sound was sharp and piercing, like countless razor-sharp blades piercing straight into everyone's eardrums, sending chills down their spines and making their souls tremble violently.

The cry echoed endlessly in the dark void, like a curse from hell, relentlessly eroding the hearts of the crowd and filling them with deep fear and despair.

At this moment, the Superintendent of Police had successfully integrated the power of the evil god, and his aura underwent a tremendous and transformative change.

His body, which was originally a normal 3.8 cm, began to swell up like an inflating balloon, his muscles bulging and bulging like steel, as if every inch of his muscles contained the power to destroy everything.

He exuded a terrifying, world-destroying aura, like a truly evil demon god descending to earth, with a resolute determination to destroy everything, attempting to mercilessly drag all things in the world into an endless abyss of darkness, plunging the entire world into an eternal quagmire of chaos and despair, with no hope of ever escaping.

Chapter 367 Like an ant trying to shake a tree

That oppressive force, like an invisible yet incredibly heavy hammer, rhythmically and mercilessly struck the hearts of everyone present, making them acutely aware of their insignificance and powerlessness before this evil power. It was as if they were merely an insignificant speck of dust in this vast universe, easily wiped away at any moment.

Cao Yu and the others instantly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their nerves taut like a bowstring about to snap, as if the slightest touch would cause it to break completely.

They gripped their weapons tightly, their knuckles white from the force, like the remnants of snow in winter, ready to face the approaching storm.

However, when facing the director who had fused with the power of the evil god, they clearly felt an unprecedented pressure, like an invisible yet despairingly heavy mountain pressing down on their hearts, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

This pressure not only affected their bodies, making their limbs feel as heavy as lead, with each step seemingly exhausting all their strength and making movement incredibly difficult; it was also like a cold and merciless hammer, relentlessly striking their mental defenses, attempting to completely destroy their inner resolve, causing them to involuntarily feel a deep sense of powerlessness, as if all their resistance in the face of this evil force was futile, like an ant trying to shake a tree.

The director slowly curled a cruel, cold smile onto his lips. The smile was filled with deep contempt and mockery for everyone, as if they were just a group of worthless, insignificant ants in his eyes, not worth the slightest effort from him.

He gently raised his hand, a seemingly casual gesture that contained boundless malice, like a venomous snake lurking in the darkness, ready to deliver a fatal blow to its prey at any moment.

A black energy wave, like a surging undercurrent, swept towards Cao Yu and the others with overwhelming force.

Wherever the energy wave passed, space seemed to be wantonly twisted and torn apart by an invisible and malicious hand, emitting a teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound. It was as if the whole world was groaning in pain and enduring indescribable torment under the crazy impact of this evil force.

The distortion of space made the surrounding scenery strange and terrifying. Everything that was once familiar became unrecognizable in an instant, as if the whole world was being ravaged by this dark force and was gradually heading towards the brink of collapse.

Seeing this critical situation, Cao Yu hurriedly mustered all his strength to lift the divine weapon.

The artifact instantly shone brightly in his hand. Although the light seemed so weak under the overwhelming darkness, it carried an unwavering and indomitable will, like the last flickering but still steadfast flame of hope in the darkness, trying to illuminate this despairing darkness with its meager strength.

However, under the fierce impact of the black energy wave, the artifact's light appeared so fragile and precarious, as if it would be completely swallowed by the darkness and disappear without a trace in the next second.

Cao Yu felt an overwhelming force, like a high-speed, out-of-control train crashing into him with tremendous force. He was struck as if by a bolt from the blue, his internal organs seemingly shattered in an instant. A surge of intense pain, like a raging tide, swept through his body, almost causing him to lose consciousness.

He was thrown backward involuntarily, and 330 flew through the air in a long arc before crashing heavily into an incredibly thick tree.

Under the immense and terrifying impact, the tree could not withstand the force and let out a loud "crack" as if life itself were breaking apart. It then snapped in two, and wood chips flew everywhere like shrapnel, scattering in all directions.

Cao Yu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. The crimson blood was particularly glaring against the darkness, like a strange and desperate flower blooming in the darkness, carrying a kind of tragic beauty, staining the ground in front of him red.

Blood slowly spread across the ground, like a tragic splash of color in the darkness, silently telling the story of the cruelty and brutality of the battle.

Upon seeing this, Amuro Tooru's eyes flashed with a resolute glint—a fearless determination that, despite knowing that a bottomless abyss lay ahead, still leaped into the abyss without hesitation.

Chapter 368 As if merged with the darkness

He immediately led the public security troops forward with the ferocity and fearlessness of tigers descending a mountain, launching a fierce attack on the director.

"Rat-a-tat-tat," bullets rained down on the director. The crisp gunshots were particularly loud in the eerily silent battlefield, like the angry shouts of justice trying to break the despairing darkness with each shot.

However, when the bullets came into contact with the deep, terrifying black fog surrounding the director, they were instantly swallowed up without a trace, as if they had fallen into endless nothingness, leaving not even a trace, as if these bullets had never existed in this world.

The police officers did not back down. They knew that they could not give up at this moment and continued to attack bravely. A determined flame burned in the eyes of each of them, as if the flame was proclaiming their indomitable spirit and resistance to the darkness.

However, their efforts seemed to be in vain, and the attack had no effect on the director.

The dark mist acted like an unbreakable shield, easily neutralizing all attacks as if they were merely a gentle breeze, having no effect whatsoever.

The director stood in the dark mist, letting out bursts of triumphant laughter that echoed in the night sky like the roar of a demon, chilling everyone to the bone, as if mercilessly mocking their overestimation of their abilities.

The laughter echoed in the darkness, deepening the despair in everyone's hearts, as if a huge boulder had been added to their already heavy hearts.

Vermouth moved swiftly, like a ghost, appearing and disappearing in the darkness as if she had become one with it.

She attempted to ambush the director from the side, her movements light and agile, like a black panther lurking in the darkness, silently waiting for the perfect moment to strike and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy.

But the director seemed to have sensed it beforehand. The moment she approached, he swung his hand back, and a dark tentacle, as swift and fierce as a python, wrapped around Vermouth's body.

The tentacles gripped her tightly, like iron clamps, making it impossible for her to breathe. Every struggle only made the tentacles tighten their grip, as if trying to strangle her life bit by bit.

Then, the director lifted her high up and slammed her to the ground like a piece of useless trash.

With a deafening roar, the earth seemed to tremble. A huge crater was smashed into the ground, and dust rose like a mushroom cloud, obscuring the sky.

Vermouth groaned and struggled to get up, only to find that her body was in excruciating pain, as if all the bones in her body had been shattered into dust, and every joint was groaning in agony.

Her movements became extremely slow, each movement accompanied by unbearable pain, but her eyes remained firm, showing no sign of retreat. The flame burning in her eyes seemed to declare her indomitable spirit to the director. Even though her body had suffered severe injuries, her will was as strong as steel and would never yield.

The other team members also launched their attacks. Some cast spells, and brilliant light burst forth in the darkness, like blooming flowers, trying to bring a glimmer of light and hope to this darkness.

However, these lights were quickly devoured by the relentless power of darkness, vanishing like a fleeting moment of beauty, leaving only brief beauty and endless regret.

Someone threw a weapon; the sharp blade gleamed coldly in the air, flying towards the director with a whooshing sound, as if to cut through the darkness.

With a mere wave of his hands, the director unleashed a torrent of dark power, overwhelming all attacks and turning the entire battlefield into a devastating arena. Darkness roamed freely across the land, plunging everyone into an even more difficult situation, as if trapped in an inescapable cage of despair.

The entire battlefield was plunged into an atmosphere of despair, and Cao Yu and his men were caught in an unprecedentedly fierce battle.

Everyone was seriously injured, their clothes stained with blood that flowed down their bodies and pooled on the ground in crimson puddles, like the earth's sorrowful tears.

But they persevered, with only one unwavering belief in their hearts: they must not let the director's conspiracy succeed, even at the cost of their lives, to protect world peace.

Their eyes were filled with determination and resilience, shining brightly in the darkness like an inextinguishable lighthouse, illuminating each other's path and giving each other the courage and strength to persevere.

Chapter 369 Magnificent Golden Light

Despite being in dire straits, their faith was like a beacon, illuminating their path forward and preventing them from losing their way in the endless darkness.

Just when everyone was about to be driven to the brink of despair, ordinary people all over the world who had once been protected by Cao Yu and his companions learned of the terrible crisis that had occurred at the final altar through some mysterious and wondrous means.
