Chapter 110 Good News: There's only one Heroic Spirit who's gone mad like this; Bad News: A God Has Descended.

Even the weakest of those individuals called Heroic Spirits might possess a Noble Phantasm that could potentially allow them to solo the world's most powerful monster—Aldebaran.

Human? Or a Gastrea that transformed into a humanoid form?

To fall from such a height and survive, that thing could never be human.

To be honest, Ayn Rand was quite curious about Gilles de Rais's physical structure.

Just as Ayn Rand appeared, a glint seemed to flash in Gilles de Rais's eyes as well.

Before their arrival, the Heroic Spirits' minds were instilled with knowledge of this era. The identity of the Four Sages, who rarely appeared in the original work, was naturally no secret to them; a global survey could reveal everything.

Did I encounter a rare and special character the moment I arrived in this world?

Gilles de Rais couldn't help but marvel at his good fortune, hoping the other party wouldn't be so quick to...

"...He ruined himself." X2 This was the same thought on the minds of the two strange men upon meeting.

Then, a few minutes later, Dr. Ayn Rand's Initiators, though they fought to the very end and refused to surrender, were still forcibly put into "sleep".

Although their fighting ability is good, these children have surprisingly low resistance to magic.

Then Dr. Ayn Rand's smile vanished completely. After several trump card initiators were forcibly shut down by magic, he was so frightened that he had someone take him and run away.

But how did they all run?

Could they really escape? Seeing that scene, Gilles de Rais didn't rush to give chase.

For humans like them, there is no safe place left in this world!

Half an hour later, the American branch's survival zone was completely overrun. Looking down from the satellite, one could see a horrifying scene that would make one's scalp crawl: a massive tidal wave of sea monsters, composed of countless small sea monsters, was devouring the land, resembling a scene from the apocalypse!

An hour later—the region was completely overrun, a sight that sent chills down the spines of governments around the world who witnessed it via satellite.

What made them even more alarmed was that the white miracles that had occurred when Gilles de Rais descended were being discovered one after another in their respective territories.

In the Tokyo area—the third Holy Emperor, the ruler of this region, is holding an emergency recollection.

At this moment, all the high-ranking officials in the Tokyo area fell into a deathly silence as they watched the satellite images projected onto the large screen.

Even from outside the planet, it was visible to the naked eye that the chaos devoured all colors of the earth—the color of the sea demon.

A hissing sound followed by a flash of snowflakes before the screen went black, and the video ended.

At the very front seat, a girl with fair skin, a delicate and beautiful face like fragile glass, short light blue hair, and wearing a white dress and hat with an ethereal air, stared palely at the content that had just ended on the screen.

She was the supreme ruler of the Tokyo area, the holy emperor of this small post-apocalyptic nation within a nation.

In this apocalyptic world, the ruler maintains an image of purity and fragility, like a white lotus untouched by society. Though called a ruler, she lacks any semblance of authority and appears more like a decorative vase. In reality, her actual control over the country is no different from that of a mere decorative vase.

Even though he is approachable and loves his children, enjoys immense popularity among the public, and is dedicated to promoting legislation to protect and improve the plight of cursed children, he has yet to make any progress.

He's just a figurehead who's been sidelined by his ministers and clearly lacks experience and ability.

Dealing with domestic affairs was already quite a challenge for the Holy Emperor, let alone dealing with a global catastrophe.

"That's how it is... From the white meteor that fell from the sky, a humanoid creature emerged, possessing the ability to control special Gastrea. These Gastrea possessed regenerative and fission abilities unaffected by Holmium metal, which led to the entire US branch quickly being overwhelmed by the Gastrea horde."

When the Holy Emperor announced this terrible news...

The ministers below were all incredulous, exclaiming in disbelief, "What?!"

"Gastrulas that are not controlled by holmium flower metal?! How is that possible!"

What that meant was clear to everyone present.

One of the Four Sages, Indoor, invented a special metal that could effectively suppress the regenerative abilities of Gastrea, which allowed humanity to gradually regain some advantage in the battle against Gastrea.

Gastrea's regenerative abilities are such that unless their heart and head are directly destroyed, they cannot kill such monsters. Even with only trained Cursed Children, it would be difficult to defeat even the lowest-level Gastrea in a short period of time without special metals.

Not to mention the terrifying splitting ability that the Sea Demon displayed.

This new species, which has completely spiraled out of control, even reminded them of the fear they felt at the very beginning of the apocalypse, when they were confronted with the Gastrea horde—that desperate sense of helplessness in the face of an enemy they could not kill!

"What's worse—a white meteor also fell three kilometers outside the Tokyo area... Police have been dispatched to investigate and have sent back photos and information; the 'thing' inside has been found."

When the Holy Emperor's palms were sweating, he forced himself to remain calm and delivered this ominous news.

The people below didn't dare to breathe, and their eyes were filled with immense fear.

Even standing behind the Holy Emperor, the true mastermind of this country, Kikunojo Tendou, remained silent with a grim expression.

That means that within their Tokyo area, there is a very likely monster similar to the madman who single-handedly destroyed the US branch area! And this monster awakened long ago, and may have already infiltrated their area using a "humanoid" form similar to humans.

Tokyo now has a landscape that could fall at any moment.

"Now, let's all think of ways to deal with this global crisis."

When the Holy Emperor spoke in this way.

No one below objected.

That's right—even now only the US branch has fallen.

But the thought of those terrifying, invasive Gastrea, the Sea Monster, and the multiple rays of light descending from outer space—a calamity affecting the entire globe simultaneously—might just be the cause of a second destruction for human civilization, or even its complete extinction from this planet.

How could this happen? How could this be?!

At this moment, could it be called luck? Although the heroic spirits who descended this time also had orders to act at will, those who were as crazy as Gilles de Rais were few and far between. Most of them preferred to prioritize saving those poor lolis.

Unfortunately, because the Tokyo area is where the story begins in the original work, it has received special attention from Ye.

Therefore, not only did heroic spirits descend upon this area, but even as the flow unfolded, the gods themselves descended to the mortal realm to have some fun. For Ye, multitasking was not a problem at all.

Chapter 111 Hiruko Kagetane: Let aliens rule, it won't get any worse!

For the Tokyo area, things are currently going through a rough patch.

Even without this unsettling warning of an impending calamity, there was a recent incident where the "Seven Stars' Legacy" was lost and swallowed by Gastrea.

The Emperor originally planned to contact all the best police officers in Tokyo via remote communication and assign them jobs.

Unexpectedly, before we could even do this, a doomsday crisis that affected the entire world occurred... Let alone the Holy Emperor not anticipating this situation.

Even Kikunojo Tendo, the mastermind behind the "Seven Stars' Legacy" incident and her aide, did not anticipate this.

The plot of Black Bullet begins with this old man directing and acting in his own way, sending Hiruko Kagetane to steal the Seven Stars' legacy and summon the highest-ranking Gastrea at the fifth level, thus provoking all the police in Tokyo.

It was not only to undermine the prestige of the Holy Emperor, but also to pave the way for the protagonist, Rentaro Satomi, to enter politics and enhance his prestige.

After all, the only one who could deal with Hiruko Kagetane was Satomi Rentaro, who was also a product of the New Human Modification Project.

Even if one were to summon the strongest Gastrea, capable of destroying Tokyo, there are only twelve in the entire world, symbolizing the twelve zodiac signs.

However, activating the laser railgun that remains in the outside world and can still fire one shot is enough to eliminate this huge crisis and gain immense prestige.

But one by one

The current situation has changed so drastically that it has completely disrupted the old man's plans... Kikunojo Tendo has contacted Kagetane Hiruko to abandon this mission.

However, Hiruko Kagetane did not accept his orders; it seemed that he had his own ideas.

The situation spiraled further out of control, making the old man's face look absolutely sour!

At the same time—

Wearing a bright red top hat and suit, with a white mask on his face, Hiruko Kagetane, shrouded in an aura of evil and mystery, has already chased the Gastrea that devoured the Seven Stars' legacy to an area outside the Tokyo area.

Although Kikunojo Tendo has given up on hiring him to continue the original plan, Hiruko Kagetane, who already craves chaos in the world, is still prepared to use the legacy of the Seven Stars to summon a Level 5 Gastrea.

He had long been weary of this corrupt world. By inflicting suffering upon it, he aimed to make those already fallen elites understand pain, destroy the existing world, and thus bring it to new life...

After this destruction, only the surviving, capable "new humans" will be the true humans.

At first glance, everyone thought he was a villainous madman who wanted to destroy the world but claimed to be righteous.

But the more he learned about the monstrous things that humans in this world were, and the more monstrous the higher-ups were, the more he suddenly realized that the masked man's dark sense of justice was unusually charismatic!

Only after being reborn from destruction can such a world have the chance to regain its clarity.

At this moment, Hiruko Kagetane and his Initiator and daughter, Kohinae, easily defeated the Gastrea and obtained the Seven Stars' relic.

"Well done, little Bina. Open the box. That way, Lv5 will be attracted, hehe... Add to that those terrifying guys falling from the sky, and the fall of the Tokyo area is inevitable."

"Okay, Dad."

Hiruko Kagetane, through his intelligence network, had already learned about the terrible things Gilles de Rais was doing across the ocean in the United States.

It must be said that although the appearance of the heroic spirit made him feel a sense of danger, it also made him feel more joyful, which was exactly what he was looking for!

Those with ability submit to those without. Even the cursed children, despite their immense power, suffer endless bullying and discrimination from humans, being abandoned and plundered without reason. Most are forced to hide in the city's sewers.

Tao and slum life.

A small number of them showed outstanding fighting talent, but they were tamed and forced to fight to the death to protect a group of incompetent good-for-nothings. They were used as tools and consumed at will, yet they still suffered endless contempt.

Without a doubt, the higher-ups and all humans in this world are mentally unstable idiots!!

In a world where normal people are few and far between, it's no wonder that Hiruko Kagetane, in his search for like-minded companions, would even set his sights on Satomi Rentaro, a saintly figure in the original work who only knew how to wreak havoc. Simply because the other man showed a glimmer of justice that he appreciated, he tirelessly invited him repeatedly.

Ultimately, there are very few people in this world with even slightly normal values, let alone anyone willing to work with them on great things. The only recourse is to constantly provoke Rentaro Satomi, hoping to awaken him. Now—the world has finally reached the point where it's about to descend into complete chaos.

At this moment, Hiruko Kagetane thought, "I wonder where those guys who emerged from the white meteor are. I really want to know how they view this world."

Humanoid creatures with special abilities, as long as they are not the kind of creatures that are purely malicious and destructive and incapable of communication.

He might very well become like-minded partners with those guys and reshape the world together.

If given the chance, he would still very much like to meet those guys, even if it's dangerous, he doesn't care, he's so eager to see more people with awakened consciousness!

Hmm, those guys, they must be human, right? Could they actually be aliens?!

But even if aliens rule this planet, it's still much better than letting those rotten things continue to rule the world.

It can't get any worse.

Whatever I think comes true.

Suddenly, a chilling feeling, a sudden flash of inspiration, surged up his spine. Without the slightest hesitation, Hiruko Kagetane immediately activated all the illusionary devices around his body! He activated the repulsive force field to its maximum and then looked in one direction. At this moment, the box containing the Seven Stars' inheritance, which should have been in his daughter Kobi, had already fallen into someone else's hands. Even his daughter Kobi was being held by the scruff of her neck, trembling with fear.

Wait, shaking!?!
