Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

(If you feel that the plot connections these past two days are disjointed, it's because the second update each day was added to the same chapter.)

(Just go back and reread chapters 79 and 80.)

Hiss—

The sound of the grenade's tail propellant burning rapidly rang in Ayase Shinomiya's ears.

She watched the grenade, suspended about a meter away from her and Arashi Akari, its tail flame flickering dazzlingly, yet unable to advance even a fraction of an inch further.

Ayase Shinomiya was stunned.

After a moment of bewilderment, Ayase Shinomiya smiled excitedly.

God heard my prayer and saved Arashi Akari!

"Arashi Akari! Take this chance, run!"

Ayase Shinomiya shouted excitedly at Arashi Akari.

Arashi Akari stroked Ayase Shinomiya's forehead and said:

"God didn't hear your prayer."

"Ayase, I said, neither you nor I will die."

"Anyone I want to save, even if Death himself comes, he won't be able to take them away!"

Ayase Shinomiya looked at Arashi Akari blankly.

How did Arashi Akari hear her inner thoughts?

What did he mean by what he said?

Could it be that he stopped the grenade?

Speaking of which, why did Arashi Akari's eyes change color? Not only that, but they also have several more spiral patterns.

As if to dispel the doubts in Ayase Shinomiya's heart, Arashi Akari glanced at the grenade.

With a bang.

The grenade exploded.

But Arashi Akari and Ayase Shinomiya, within the grenade's blast radius, were unharmed.

"How is this possible!"

The antibody personnel who launched the grenade were shocked when they saw Arashi Akari still standing there unscathed.

Their eyes were about to pop out.

"Daring to hurt Ayase, die!"

Arashi Akari reached out and gently clenched his hand in the direction of the End Roar.

The End Roar's body instantly deformed, the steel body squeezed against each other, creating friction.

A creaking sound was heard.

Sparks flew everywhere, and filling fluid spilled all over the ground.

At this moment, not only was the End Roar undergoing deformation, but also at the GHQ antibody headquarters in Tokyo Bay, hundreds of miles away.

The antibody member piloting the End Roar to attack Arashi Akari was also deforming inside the control cabin.

Screams of agony attracted the attention of the surrounding antibody commanders.

Under the horrified gazes of the commanders, the antibody inside the control cabin was directly crushed!

With a pop, the entire control cabin was stained red.

The antibody commanders looked at each other, seeing horror in each other's eyes.

"This, this, this..."

"Why is this happening?"

The antibody commanders were dumbfounded.

Although the operator would also suffer damage after the End Roar was damaged,

it was mental anguish, not physical harm.

As long as the operator's willpower was strong, even if the End Roar's head was chopped off and disintegrated into hundreds of pieces in a second,

the operator hundreds of miles away would not suffer too much damage.

But now, the operator actually spontaneously combusted on the spot.

Moreover, the way the controlled machine died on the big screen was exactly the same.

This was terrifying!

Was this a power that humans could possess?

Stopping a grenade in mid-air, and not suffering any damage even when it exploded.

Instead, he easily crushed not only the machine, but also the operator with a single hand.

Was this still a human?

"Could it be an experimental subject that escaped from the 'Source Matter Gene Research Institute'?"

One commander's words awakened everyone's memories.

Five years ago, a male experimental subject wreaked havoc at the Source Matter Gene Research Institute, and then escaped with another female experimental subject.

The male's abilities were also beyond imagination.

Touch someone with his right hand, and they would die.

Moreover, he could extract various weapons from the human body.

He was practically a god on earth.

After a great battle, that person never appeared again, and it was unknown whether he was dead or not.

"Damn it, that damned Source Matter Gene Research Institute, all they do is cause trouble!"

"Bringing instability to society!"

A commander slammed his hand on the table, unable to contain his anger.

Because of this damn Source Matter Gene Research Institute, countless of his subordinates had died.

If the GHQ high-level hadn't strictly prohibited any conflicts with the Source Matter Gene Research Institute, these high-ranking antibody commanders would have already led people to storm the researchers in Area 24.

"Alas, let's just report what happened here to the higher-ups..."

Arashi Akari's instant kill of the End Roar was not only seen by the antibody personnel, but also by the members of Funeral Parlor.

And it was transmitted to Gai's ears.

Gai was silent.

Quartermaster, are you sure this person will become a stepping stone on my path to kingship, and not an insurmountable mountain?

Three kilometers away, Inori Yuzuriha and Tsugumi, hiding in the shadows, were monitoring Arashi Akari's every move through a small robot created by Tsugumi.

Seeing Arashi Akari and Ayase Shinomiya being intimate, and Arashi Akari picking up Ayase Shinomiya in his arms,

Tsugumi rolled her eyes.

Tsk, tsk, he really is a pervert.

He's still picking up girls at a time like this.

Seeing the grenade about to hit Arashi Akari, Tsugumi couldn't help but worry.

But seeing the two of them unharmed, and the End Roar crushed by Arashi Akari,

Tsugumi was completely dumbfounded.

This isn't right, is it?

Tsugumi looked at Inori Yuzuriha, wanting to see the answer on Inori Yuzuriha's face.

But Inori Yuzuriha just stared at the monitor expressionlessly, without any surprised expression.

As if everything was normal.

"Little Inori, aren't you surprised?"

Inori Yuzuriha shook her head.

"Not surprised, Akari is very powerful, everything is reasonable."

On the other side, Ayase Shinomiya, who was held in Arashi Akari's arms, showed the exact same shocked expression as Tsugumi when she saw the crushed End Roar.

"How is it? I told you you wouldn't die."

"Ayase, just believe!"

Ayase Shinomiya looked at the person in front of her, feeling a sense of security for the first time.

Being able to be protected and have someone to rely on is great.

Arashi Akari lowered his head, stroked Ayase Shinomiya's cheek, and smiled:

"Want to pilot the End Roar?"

Before Ayase Shinomiya could answer.

Ting!

Arashi Akari snapped his fingers, and all nine End Roars around the Vaccine Center stopped attacking, and the indicator lights representing the connection went out.

These nine End Roars became unclaimed.

"Gai, take these nine End Roars away, leave three for me, and the rest are yours!"

!!!

Gai was very excited after hearing what Arashi Akari said to him.

Damn, six End Roars!

Our Funeral Parlor can be considered a resistance organization with some face!

With these six End Roars, we won't have to just run away when carrying out tasks and opposing GHQ in the future.

"Da Yun!"

"Go find a car! Load all the End Roars onto the car and take them back to headquarters!"

"We don't need the vaccine, just leave one box."

"With the End Roars, we don't have to worry about the vaccine problem in the future!"

Da Yun, the strongest member of Funeral Parlor, received Gai's order and drove towards the location of the End Roars.

He wondered if there would be one End Roar that belonged to him.
