Is this okay?

"No, it's nothing... As long as I meet Lady Zi, everything will be fine." Lan didn't explain, but instead looked at Altair with a serious expression.

"That's good." The previous generation agreed wholeheartedly.

however……

"Will you be able to see it? I'm afraid not. Yukari Yakumo won't see you because the Great Collapse was a decision she made after considering it for a long time." Altair smiled provocatively, as if everything was going according to plan.

Just as everyone was on edge, Altair's body gradually disappeared from the spot.

"Then see you next time. Oh, by the way. Yakumo Ran, you are Yakumo Yukari's shikigami, remember that, and don't do anything that is detrimental to Yakumo Yukari."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Lan's pupils contracted, sensing something was amiss.

This is like kicking yourself to the other side, at which point the team's trust completely collapses.

however……

"Lan, don't worry. We've been through this together. It would be too much if I didn't even trust you." The first generation reassured Lan immediately; she absolutely trusted her.

"My lord, thank you for your trust."

Lan nodded, moved, looking at the predecessor with full affirmation.

When Altair disappeared, the first generation breathed a sigh of relief, after all, the opponent's strength was unknown, but the power he displayed was definitely very strong.

At this moment, Alice looked at the previous generation and Ran nervously: "Um... what exactly happened? Why were we attacked? Why did she say that it was Yakumo Yukari's decision? And why are Reimu and Marisa missing?"

"That's a long story. To put it simply, this time Yukari released an incredible monster into Gensokyo."

The previous generation sighed with emotion, completely baffled as to why Yakumo Yukari would let these monsters in, and also wondering what was going on.

After a while, Alice decided to join them, and the three of them set off together to find Yakumo Yukari.

On the way, Sendai suddenly spoke up and asked Ran, "Ran, tell me, is there something that could make that guy Yukari decide to destroy Gensokyo?"

"No," Lan replied affirmatively to the question.

"Then... could there be something that would make Zi side with them?" The predecessor once again asked the most crucial question.

"..."

This time, Lan remained silent; she dared not answer.

Because it really exists!

Moreover, he couldn't explain it, as it concerned Leng Mo's purpose, and he was directly forbidden from doing so.

If I said that out loud, it would definitely be misunderstood.

Blue's silence immediately shocked Alice, who hesitated before asking, "Really?"

Oh no! Damn it!

Even the silent Blue could tell from Alice that he was utterly despondent; it was a misunderstanding, after all.

This is outrageous! Was this part of your plan?! A dam!!

Chapter 497 What...what are you doing...?

"Lan, what exactly is going on?"

The previous generation, realizing this, looked at Lan with a bit of anger.

"This has nothing to do with me! I don't know much about Lord Zi's affairs either!" Lan was immediately startled when she saw the previous generation's angry expression, fearing that she would be misunderstood and kicked out of the team.

If I really get kicked out, then I'm really doomed.

Your Excellency, with your abilities, you're no match for Leng Mo. Let alone you, you can't even outmaneuver Lady Zi...

"Then let me ask you, will Zi really do that..."

"If it was about instructing that guy on what to do... yes."

"I see. It seems Zi's mind has become muddled while I was away. Let's clear her head then!"

The predecessor understood the situation and clenched his fists, looking like he was about to punch someone.

"..."

Seeing this, Lan on the other side was at a loss for words. The more he explained, the more confused things became, so he could only sigh helplessly and give up trying to explain.

"Let's go find Zi!!"

The previous generation didn't want to waste any more time; she had to find Yukari Yakumo as soon as possible and get to the bottom of things.

If it's Yakumo Yukari's fault, then she definitely deserves a good beating.

……

However, at that moment, Altair appeared at the location of the Great Barrier.

At this moment, Yukari Yakumo is maintaining the barrier, her face filled with helplessness.

"At most three more days..."

Her face was filled with despair as she looked up at the starry sky within the barrier—a false starry sky.

"Is there still three days left in the barrier?" Altair suddenly appeared behind Yakumo Yukari, looking up at the illusory starry sky above with a sigh.

"Who?"

"Althael, you haven't seen me before, but you should know me," Altair introduced himself when he saw that Yukari Yakumo didn't recognize him.

"Oh, it's you. What brings you here?" Yukari Yakumo breathed a sigh of relief after realizing who it was.

Apart from a few people, everyone else in the forum is pretty reliable. At least Altair is someone who takes good care of her. He even asked her before if she wanted a manual to avoid being blocked.

“Everyone knows that.” Altair smiled slightly, looking at the fake starry sky.

"What do you know?" Yukari Yakumo asked, puzzled and curious.

"Knowing that Gensokyo is on the verge of collapse, we won't just stand by and watch. You might not know this, but if any one of us really encounters a problem, we'll all help. Even if you're not from the forum, you'll still get help." Altair smiled with mixed feelings as he recalled how Leng Mo and the others had helped.

"Help me... Although the result is good, the process was too much..." Yukari Yakumo seemed to understand what Altair was saying, and for a moment she was speechless with complicated feelings.

"Don't worry, Gensokyo will be fine."

"The barrier will break in three days. At that time, Gensokyo will probably fall into the outside world. I don't know what will happen next, but it will definitely be a disaster. Perhaps I should prepare to let the outside world accept the existence of Gensokyo."

Yukari Yakumo sighed, her eyes filled with melancholy.

Altair smiled slightly and said to Yukari Yakumo, "By the way, you should go check out Men's Island. Marisa went there too. Reimu is complaining about you every day over there."

"What!? Marisa went there too?" Yukari Yakumo was taken aback when she heard that there was suddenly another person next door.

"Who else could it be?"

"Okay, I understand. But I feel much more at ease knowing they're over there... Never mind, the barrier is safe for now, I'll go to Manly Island to see what's going on."

Yukari Yakumo sighed speechlessly, speechless at Marisa's past situation. She turned around, opened a gap, and disappeared from the spot.

After Yakumo Yukari left, Altair smiled slightly and turned to look in a certain direction.

"Aren't you coming out yet?"

The next second, Leng Mo appeared in a corner with a bright smile on his face.

"Hey! Altair."

He walked up to Altair and stood beside him with great warmth.

"You heard what I just said, didn't you?" Altair pressed down his military cap and asked in a tone of emotion.

"I heard that. There are only three days left. That's really serious." Leng Mo was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected things to be so urgent. The great barrier was about to collapse in three days.

"Yes, how are things going on your end?" Altair asked, glancing in another direction.

His eyes flickered with some emotion, and the smile on his face became mysterious.

Three people were hiding in that direction.

The three of them, Xiandai, Lan, and Alice, stared wide-eyed in horror, not expecting to be discovered so easily.

I came here to find Yukari Yakumo, but when I arrived I found I was too late and she was no longer in the Great Barrier.

The next second, Altair discovered them, and they also witnessed Leng Mo and Altair's conversation.

This undoubtedly proves that Yakumo Yukari is indeed in cahoots with Leng Mo and the others.

The previous generation was alright; she knew what kind of personality Yukari Yakumo had, so she could just give her a good beating at this point.

Lan knew the truth and simply lay down.

The only one who was afraid was Alice, who seemed to have discovered something terrible: Yukari Yakumo really wanted to destroy Gensokyo!

No wonder Reimu disappeared, no wonder Marisa disappeared!

In the past, no matter how serious the situation was, Yukari Yakumo would have taken action, but now... it seems that everything makes sense.

At this moment, a bright smile appeared on Leng Mo's face, filled with certainty and excitement.

"It's alright, everything is going according to plan. We just need Madoka-senpai to sort out that thing, and then Gensokyo can be completely destroyed!"

Altair, with a smile, quietly moved closer to Leng Mo, saying as they walked, "That's good, but don't you think it's a bit much? Yakumo Yukari would be heartbroken if she knew."

"Heh, Yukari Yakumo cares too much about Gensokyo. We're helping her. Only when Gensokyo is gone will she truly integrate into our group."

Leng Mo said with great certainty, his face full of anticipation.

"Ah Mo, you'll understand, won't you?"

Suddenly, Altair said something strange.

"Know what?"

Leng Mo was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then her expression turned painful as a hand pierced through her body from behind.

puff! !

Blood spurted out, staining the ground beneath his feet red, and his entire body trembled with pain.

"What...what are you doing...have you betrayed us too?"

Coming to his senses, Leng Mo stared wide-eyed in disbelief and turned to look at Altair.

Altair's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he sneered.

"This is a mission, Amo."

"What?!" Leng Mo's pupils shrank upon hearing this, staring at Altair in disbelief.

Chapter 498 Luckily you arrived quickly

Altair grinned at the shocked Leng Mo, his eyes flashing with a terrifyingly fierce light.

The quest for miracles and magic has just been refreshed!

Although I don't have a great need for miracles and magic, everyone lacks these things, so if there's a way to get them, then I shouldn't waste them.

Moreover, such a good opportunity for revenge will not come again if it is missed.

"Ahhh! Altair...kisama!!"

Leng Mo cried out in anguish, wanting to do something, but found that he could do nothing at all.

This scene left the three previous generations, who were hiding in the shadows, dumbfounded, completely bewildered as to what had just happened.

Why would Altair, who was in cahoots with Leng Mo, kill Leng Mo? And what was the mission she mentioned?

All of this happened so suddenly that it completely left everyone's minds blank.

puff!

Before anyone could react, Altair mercilessly withdrew his arm, blood instantly flowing down it. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the blood splattered onto the ground.

Pfft!

Leng Mo fell heavily to the ground without making any move or reacting.

Altair stared at Leng Mo lying on the ground and grinned.

"Ah Mo, you know what kind of person I am. It's just that the mission came unexpectedly, and if we don't seize the opportunity, it will be gone in a flash. If I don't make a move, someone else will. You can't blame me."

Her voice was very low and gave people a very cold feeling.

“Alter…you bastard!! How could you…how could you…” Leng Mo shouted angrily as he lay on the ground, but he could do nothing.
