The character profile of Ophelia described by Yulis is completely different from the Ophelia we know today.

"But one day, Ophelia suddenly disappeared from the orphanage. I asked the nuns, but they all remained silent. Later, I asked my brother to help investigate, and I finally learned that the orphanage was in crisis and even burdened with huge debts. In the end, a research institution semi-forcibly requisitioned Ophelia as collateral. Ironically, I was completely ignorant of all this before. I didn't know the situation in this country, its operating system, or my own position. At that time, I was a clueless child."

"Of course, I tried to take back Ophelia, using every method I knew at the time. But all I learned was how powerless I was. In the end, there was no one in this country who could speak frankly to the research institute directly under the Unified Enterprise Foundation."

At this point, Eurythm stopped talking.

For a moment, the room was shrouded in silence.

"The institution that recruited Ophelia was the research institute of the Mother's Rope. The research institute is located in the ruins of that snowfield."

"That's it..."

"The research content is... to create the future generation of star veins."

Yu Shen Haoyu's face darkened. It was the same familiar situation again. In pursuit of power that didn't belong to them, even the most basic humanity had been extinguished. Yu Shen Haoyu had lost count of how many times he had encountered this situation: people starting forbidden experiments in pursuit of power that wasn't their own.

"The research director is a student from the Allecant Institute, known as the woman with the big doctor."

"No wonder Julis hates Allecant..."

“Once personal grudges are involved, there is no room for discussion.”

Now she knew why Julis hated Allercant. Then, Julis slowly took out her phone and opened the spatial window.

The scene depicts two close, young girls. One is more competitive, with bright rose-colored hair; the other is a composed girl with chestnut-colored hair.

“This is me and Ophelia.”

Yu Shenhao looked at him strangely.

Eurythmia recognized her at a glance, but Ophelia was completely different, from the color of her hair and eyes to the aura and gaze she exuded.

"Back then, Ophelia wasn't a witch, or even a member of the Star Pulse Generation. Now she's the strongest witch in the world. It's terrifying."

In other words, Ophelia is a witch that was artificially created.

Does this mean the research was successful?

"I don't know. But if it's true, it would be a discovery of the century, and it would be widely publicized. Since it hasn't been made public, it means there's something wrong with it, just like with Ophelia."

"question?"

Yulis gave a gloomy smile, her shoulders trembling slightly.

"You saw that ruin, didn't you? That's the result of Ophelia's power going out of control. The buildings are decaying, the ground is corroding, and it's become a barren wasteland."

"Out of control...why?"

"The reason is unknown. All I know is that when the research institute was destroyed, it was Yang Xue's special forces that saved Ophelia. Afterwards, through some unknown transaction, Ophelia's identity was transferred from the Rope of the Virgin Mary to Yang Xue."

"I see. So she's now Rayworth's..."

Yang Xue is the operating entity of the Reiwofu Black Academy.

"Of course, it took me a long time to learn about these things. Even the destruction of the research institute was concealed and not made public. I had no idea of ​​Ophelia's fate until that day, when I met Wang Longxing."

"The previous Wanglong Star Martial Arts Festival, I suppose."

Yulis nodded in agreement with Mikami Hiroyu's words.

"At the time, I really doubted my eyes. But no matter how much the appearance had changed, my intuition told me that it was Ophelia. So I tried to make contact..."

As Yulis's voice grew weaker, the outcome was already clear.

“She has completely changed. Although there is nothing we can do about it, she seems to have given up everything, as if she has completely abandoned it. But... I still hope that Ophelia can come back. If this continues, although there is no immediate danger, Ophelia's body will not be able to take it.”

She clenched her teeth. Yu Shen Haoyu knew that Ophelia possessed stellar power that others could not imagine, but the price was her lifespan, body, and sanity.

"So a year ago, as soon as I entered Asterisk, I went to Ophelia and tried to persuade her to at least stop forcing herself to fight. But she wouldn't listen to me at all, and even said that if I insisted, I had to beat her in a duel... And you know what happened. It's a long story, but that's how it was."

Yulis let out a sigh of relief, a somewhat comfortable expression on her face, and put her hands on her hips.

"So Haoyu, this is ultimately a problem between Ophelia and me. I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, but this is the one thing I have to do alone. Otherwise, not only Ophelia, but even I can't accept it. Can you understand that?"

Yushin Hiroyu nodded with a wry smile, but didn't pay much attention to Yulis's words.

This is something that Julis simply cannot accomplish, even though she is the protagonist of this world.

To save Ophelia, they must confront the Unified Corporate Group head-on, a task that Mikami Hiroyu must handle himself.

"A huge, huge, huge thing has happened! Princess!"

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Flora rushed into the room, shouting in a panic.

Chapter 3726 That's it?

"What's wrong, Flora? Didn't you go back to the orphanage?"

Yulis stopped smiling and crouched down to Flora's eye level to comfort her.

"Yes, yes! We were originally going back to the orphanage, but it seems something terrible happened on the street...!"

"Something incredibly important?"

"Well, I heard that there are a lot of lizards this big flying in the sky, so I was scared and ran back quickly."

Flora bounced around, stretching out her arms wide in greeting. While the exact size might differ slightly from the actual dimensions, it was roughly the size of an adult.

"The streets are in complete chaos, and vehicles are completely immobilized."

"Could those things attack people?"

"Uh, no, not really..."

"Okay... Flora. You can stay at the palace for now; it's safer here."

After Yulis gently told Flora, her gaze turned to Mikami Hiroyu and Saya and Kirin who came in with Flora. Claudia had already gone back, and it seemed that he remembered that there were some things he hadn't done. Of course, Mikami Hiroyu didn't believe Claudia's reason, but since Claudia was unwilling to tell him, Mikami Hiroyu naturally didn't ask.

"The news should have already reached my brother. I'm going to the palace. If things aren't looking good, I might have to intervene..."

"It's just a small matter, no need to go to the palace. Judging from Flora's description, it seems to be the work of Kustawu. As long as Kustawu is dealt with, there shouldn't be any problems. Saya and Kirin, Yulis and I will deal with that big guy. Can we entrust Yulis's brother's safety to you?"

Before Yu Shenhaoyu could finish speaking, both of them immediately nodded.

.......

Two figures sped through the city. Yu Shen Haoyu carried Yulis, using the most primitive method to reach their destination. Although it was the most primitive method, the speed was almost the same as flying.

On the way, Yuki noticed that Yulis's expression was a little strange.

"Julis? What's wrong?"

"No, no, it's nothing at all! And you, you, your face is too close!"

Yulis blushed and pushed Mikami Hiroyu's face hard.

"Hug, sorry."

"Never mind. Anyway, this way we should be able to cross the lake in less than three minutes. Let's get across the lake first."

On the gently rippling lake surface, a large, bright moon sways.

Looking eastward, one sees the brightly lit night view of the town center.

On the other hand, in the slums directly across the river, the lights were scarce.

"Look, that's the orphanage."

Following Yulis's gesture, one could indeed see the outline of a towering church, vaguely emerging in the darkness.

"Ok?"

But on the lakeside near the slum, on a concrete embankment with a less-than-ideal view, a man seemed to be waiting for Yushin Hiroyu and Yulis, like a hunter lying in wait.

"Look who's here, even faster than I expected."

“Kustawu, Marlo…!” Yulis gritted her teeth.

"But I was sure you would come."

"You haven't made a move against the orphanage yet, have you?"

Despite Euryth's sharp, sword-like gaze, Kustav remained unfazed, smiling faintly.

"Don't worry. To be honest, I did consider this approach, but there seem to be a few troublesome nuns there. I can't spare a hand to deal with them."

"Hmph...that's good."

Yulis snorted and slowly landed on the ground with Mikami Hiroyu.

"For me, it's enough that you're even here. Those Longkis I sent to roam the town center are harmless as long as they don't attack indiscriminately. There are also people from the Tongtai Enterprises Foundation there. If I accidentally injure them, I'll be in trouble later."

“You really have a long tongue, Kustawu, Erluo. It wouldn’t hurt to also mention who was behind this stupid thing and asked you to do it.”

Stellar energy swept around Yulis, while Yushin Hiroyu had no intention of making a move for the time being. Let Yulis use this little monster to level up!

"No, no, no, I'm a professional, I can't just reveal that information, but..."

However, Kustawu did not move, but instead spread his arms out in an exaggerated gesture. At the same time, an unprecedentedly huge magic circle appeared in the lake, with a diameter of nearly thirty meters.

"Instead, let me introduce you to my greatest masterpiece."

The star array emitted light, and nine snake heads, resembling tentacles, emerged from the lake.

"What……!?"

The way it slowly crawled out of the water... no, its size left Julis speechless.

It resembled a monster with the body of a four-legged dinosaur and nine snake heads, and its size was comparable to a small mountain. Although its lower body was still submerged in the lake, its body alone was twenty meters long, and from head to tail, it might even exceed forty meters.

Its appearance is indeed similar to the dragon we dealt with in the Asterisk Underground Balance Zone, but it is much larger. At least twice the size.

Its bright, glowing eyes emitted an eerie red light, and its gaping maw, with its sharp teeth and gaping maw, could swallow not only humans but even cars whole.

"Is that a Hydra...?!"

"You're right, Your Highness."

Hearing the voice that Yulis squeezed out, Kustav nodded with a very happy expression.

"Just like the mythical creature described... no, even more majestic and powerful than the mythical Hydra, isn't it? This is the ultimate magical beast I created over three years."

"Roar! Ro ...

The nine snake heads roared simultaneously, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Seemingly sensing something amiss, the slum, which had been shrouded in a deathly, dark, and silent atmosphere, suddenly became restless, with screams and angry shouts echoing everywhere.

But the next moment, Yu Shen Haoyu picked at his ear: "This is your ultimate trump card? It's nothing special. You didn't actually think this thing could defeat us, did you?!"

"Don't get cocky. Facing my ultimate trump card, you'll only be begging for mercy. This time, Claudia isn't here, so let's finish this quickly."

Kustav commanded one of the Hydra's heads to open wide.

"Haoyu, get out of the way!"

Even before Yulis shouted it out, Yu Shen Haoyu had already taken action. The hydra that was just roaring had all nine heads cut off, and because it was the Black Furnace Demon Sword that cut them off, the flames quickly burned the hydra to ashes.

"Alright, now what trump cards do you have left? Bring them out quickly."

Hiroyu Mikami smiled and said this while Hisashi was staring in disbelief.

Chapter 3727 News about my sister

Yu Shen Haoyu's instant kill of Hydra left Jiu Shita Wu dumbfounded. He knew how strong Hydra was, but he was astonished that such a powerful Hydra could be defeated so easily by Yu Shen Haoyu.

No, the situation is not right, and Kushtawut is considering retreating.

But then Yushin Hiroyu appeared behind Kusitawu: "Last time you were saved by Claudia, this time I want to see who can save you. Julis, will you deal with this guy, or shall I?"

“I’ll do it!” Yulis took a deep breath and then made her move.

Without any summons, Kustav is a complete weakling; Julis defeated him without even using her Star Power.

After handing the unconscious Kushitawu over to the police, and cleaning up the summons Kushitawu had created, they returned to the palace, where it was already dawn.

Upon entering the palace, they immediately saw Jobert sitting on the grand staircase, a troubled smile on his face. Beside him, Maria nestled against Jobert, sleeping soundly with peaceful snoring. Saya and Kirin were guarding him, and upon seeing Mikami Hiroyu, they both rushed over.

"Oh, you've really worked hard. I'm so glad everyone is alright."
