Knight: A freak start, seizing the power of the king.

At that moment, someone crawled out of Katsuragi Kyoka's house, which was nearby.

"Where am I?" Kazumi Saruwatari was awakened by the loud noise of the battle.

However, because he was turned into a Striker, he lost a lot of his memories and looked at everything outside with a confused expression.

"So he didn't die after all."

In a flash, E grabbed Saruwatari Kazumi and returned to the side of the Three Crows.

As smoke swirled around the five people, they vanished on the spot.

Qi Ling did not stop him.

Yi Hai has now had the nebula gas extracted from his body and has returned to being an ordinary person. He needs to undergo the Striker experiment again to regain his usefulness.

Seeing that there were no enemies, the two Devouring Monsters walked up to the War Rabbit one after the other.

Release all the produced cell coins at once.

Putting those things away, Qi Ling spread his arms and soared into the air.

Before leaving, he only glanced at Sento and the others below.

He was quite curious about what Zhan Tu would do now that he knew this information in advance.

"We'll see."

After saying that, Qi Ling flew away.

……

Half an hour later.

After resting for a while and helping to tidy up the messy room, Sento carried the poisoned Ryuga on his back, preparing to take him back for treatment.

"Son, are you sure you don't want to come back and stay for a few days?" Katsuragi Kyoka looked at Sento.

From the moment she first met him, she had a strange feeling of familiarity.

This was one of the reasons why she was initially willing to listen to Zhan Tu.

"I've already said, I'm not Katsuragi Takumi, and you're not my mother." Sento refused outright; he was now on the verge of a breakdown.

Despite the various signs before his eyes, deep down he was still unwilling to completely believe that he was a demon scientist.

He must continue searching for other truths.

Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

"Wait a minute, accept my gift before you leave."

As Katsuragi Kyoka watched Sento's retreating figure, she suddenly took out a photograph from her bosom, on which a small circle was drawn in red pen.

"This is the last photo of you... Katsuragi Takumi before your accident. The information you are looking for may be in this photo."

Since Sento is Katsuragi Takumi, there's no need for her to hide the location of the data.

Although Sento is not willing to acknowledge him yet, he is content as long as he knows that his son is still alive.

At least I still have this family.

The question is, if Katsuragi Takumi faked his death, is Katsuragi Shinobu also guilty of the same?

"Forget it, there's no such thing as a free lunch..."

How is it possible for two deceased relatives to come back to life one after the other?

……

Sawa's apartment.

Qi Ling lay on the sofa, the system's alchemy interface displayed in front of him.

[Does the host wish to consume 1000 Cell Coins to create a random combo?]

"Yes," Qi Ling readily agreed.

Then it releases a large number of cellular coins from the body.

With his current coin production, everything consumed today can be fully recovered very quickly.

A large number of cell coins were imported into the system interface.

Soon, three blue coins popped out.

"This is the core coin of the water system linkage."

Qi Ling's eyes lit up the moment she saw the coin.

The Devourer created by the Water Link is very special; it is the Devourer that produces Cell Coins the fastest of all Devourers.

With this, the upgrade process will be much smoother in the future.

[Ding! Alchemy detected as successful. Alchemy reward issued: Water Summoning Card (can teleport the Water-type Greedy One to a random location in this world. She has seven Core Coins remaining in her body)]

"So, I can summon the Water Maiden now!" Qi Ling raised an eyebrow.

He was quite interested in that sexy, aquatic-type glutton.

Chapter 41 Faust's March: Target Pandora's Box!

Nascita coffee shop.

After Sento returned, he described to Misora ​​and the others at home what had happened during that time.

Although he was unwilling to admit that he was Katsuragi Takumi, he still revealed this identity.

"Damn it, so it was you who caused Kasumi to be displaced and unable to go home!" Ryuga roared.

He was lying in bed, but only his head could move from side to side.

The blood venom has spread throughout the body, so the detoxification process will take a little longer.

It’s so uncomfortable!

“Shouting won’t solve anything.” War Rabbit said calmly.

On the way back, he had come to terms with everything.

Since the mistakes have been made and cannot be undone, we should try to deal with everything in front of us.

Save everyone within your power.

This is all he can do right now.

Thinking of this, Sento turned on his computer; they had already found the data left behind by Katsuragi Takumi.

According to the information provided, the Build Driver, the Transformation Smoke Gun, and the Slammer all appear to be his creations.

The ultimate goal is to create powerful weapons of war.

"..."

After seeing all this, Sento felt even more guilty.

"Are you alright, Zhan Tu?"

Misora ​​Ishidou walked over and placed a freshly cut fruit in front of her.

She understood how painful it would be for Sento, who had always aimed to become a hero, to learn that he was actually the biggest villain.

"I'm… fine."

After sighing, Zhan Tu tried typing the word "squeeze" into the computer.

When I was inquiring about Takumi Katsuragi before, I heard from a colleague at the research institute that he seemed to be researching some kind of "squeezing" tool.

As Katsuragi Takumi's data began to load, a complex set of production blueprints appeared.

"This is... a compression driver?"

Looking at the blueprints, Zhan Tu was even more shocked.

He now understood why Faust had been pursuing this research material so persistently.

This squeeze drive is a revolutionary invention. Its efficiency in utilizing a full bottle is far superior to that of the Build drive.

As long as he has this driver, neither Night Bully, Blood Lurker, Qi Ling, nor Bug Monster will be his match.

The opportunity to defeat Faust and save the Eastern Capital is just around the corner.

"However, the blueprints are incomplete; perhaps I can complete them." War Rabbit immediately began manufacturing.

If I were truly Katsuragi Takumi, I would surely be able to complete the task.

……

Faust.

Himuro Gentoku sat on a single sofa, frowning as he looked at the emails on his phone.

This email is a complaint from both northern and southern capitals, angrily criticizing eastern capital for its incompetence in handling the situation, which allowed the "violent attacks," originally a phenomenon only found within eastern capital, to spread to northern capital.

After playing the video attached to the email, images of Bloodseeker and Three Crows appeared.

"Damn it, what exactly is Bloodlurk up to? He's been secretly creating so many Strikers without my knowledge!"
