Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 292 Divergence

Inside the driver's dormitory, the entire room was divided in two by white tape. A note was pasted on the bathroom door, which read: "Male students are prohibited from using the shower and changing rooms." Even the courtyard was covered with white tape, effectively splitting the dormitory in two.

In the lobby, the boy stood to the left of the tape, and the girl stood to the right. Mirai finished applying the last piece of tape, slowly stood up, looked at the boy opposite her, and said, "Listen carefully, boys are not allowed to come here."

Yunmu immediately became unhappy and said, "Why... why are you making this decision on your own? Isn't that strange?" After saying that, Yunmu prepared to step over the white tape.

However, just as Hitomo was about to step over the white tape, Mirai glared at him fiercely, "Hitomo, if you dare to step over here, you're dead!"

Seeing the girls' menacing gazes, all four boys except Man were startled. Wanmu, in particular, didn't dare move an inch. He knew that if he stepped across the line, his fate would be dire. Zero, standing behind them, was also at a loss, deeply troubled by the situation.

After all, they are a team, and piloting a FRANXX requires a male-female pair; otherwise, it's impossible to start the FRANXX. However, even to start a FRANXX, both the boy and girl need to be highly focused. Now that this problem has occurred, it's absolutely impossible to pilot the FRANXX as usual.

Finally, Yunmu slowly withdrew the foot that was about to cross the line.

In the command center, Seven and Hachi were connected to the Doctor. The Doctor, looking through a microscope, heard Seven and Hachi's report and chuckled, saying, "Puberty's here."

"There's never been a precedent of so many people going through puberty at the same time in one unit," Hatch said.

Seventh Sister also said, "Based on the statistics to date, there are at most one or two people with puberty symptoms."

Hatch added, "This situation is clearly unusual, affecting almost everyone."

"That's very interesting," the doctor said.

Seventh Sister said, "According to APE's operating manual, it would be best to formulate a solution to this situation as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Doctor looked up, thought for a moment, and then looked at the screen, saying, "What are you talking about? This defeats the purpose of the testing team. Besides, I also want to see what Zero will do in this situation. Continue to observe the children and report the situation to me one by one. Do not intervene lightly, and do not report this to the old men." After saying that, the Doctor immediately cut off the communication. Seven Sister and Hatch exchanged a helpless glance, having no other options.

The girls were chatting happily on the right side of the living room, their mood unaffected by the boys' absence. Ichigo, Kokoro, and Mirai were enjoying their conversation, while Ikuno, holding a book, leaned back on the sofa, listening to their chatter. Outside the living room door, Mitsuru, Ayame, Mirai, and Tai were peering into the doorway, watching the girls inside.

Zero Two, standing in the courtyard, stared at the white line at her feet, utterly puzzled, wondering when it had appeared. She looked up and saw Zero looking at her communicator in the corridor. She hopped a few steps, silently appearing behind Zero, and before Zero could react, leaped onto her back, catching her completely off guard.

If we're talking about this cold war, the only one unaffected is probably 02, right? It's hard to say whether 02's mind is naive or matured. After all, what happened before, and while other girls are still bothered by it, 02 seems completely unaffected. Like now, 02 can simply ignore this white line and cross it to find Zero on the other side.

Jing Chen and the mysterious man stood atop the glass dome, watching the scene below. After exchanging a glance, they couldn't help but smile. Indeed, for Ling Er, no constraints existed. The only thing that could bind her was herself. The mysterious man looked at Jing Chen beside him and asked, "What do you think?"

Jing Chen pondered for a moment, resting his chin on his hand, and said, "It's very simple, it's puberty. A teenage girl being almost completely exposed in that situation, anyone would do the same. But, if they can't reconcile soon, then they will go from being invincible warriors to a defeated army."

"Invincible God of War? That title suits you best, doesn't it? As far as I remember, you don't have many defeats." The mysterious man said with a smile.

"That's true. In all the battles so far, I've only lost twice. The first time, I lost to Tang Hao due to a huge difference in strength. The second time, I was worn down to death by sheer numbers," Jing Chen said.

The mysterious man nodded. "Indeed, with your current strength, almost no one can beat you unless they intentionally want to lose. However, I still don't understand what you're planning. You could have resisted the brainwashing, so why didn't you resist at all? Also, even if you didn't resist, you could have regained your memories from the beginning, so why haven't you regained them? What's the reason?"

Jing Chen smiled. "It's perfectly normal that you don't understand my plan. After all, if a plan could be easily figured out by others, what would be the point of setting it up? Right?"

The mysterious man nodded. "That's true. But what exactly are your plans?"

Jing Chen smiled. "To build a harem."

……

"Did you see that? The look on that guy's face just now, it was so satisfying!" Mirai said to the other four girls in the room. From her tone, it was clear that Mirai was quite happy to be able to vent her anger in this way.

Ichigo stood by the window, gazing outside without saying a word. Ikuno and Mirai noticed Ichigo was lost in thought. Ikuno walked over to Ichigo, placed a hand on her shoulder, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ichigo didn't answer Ikuno's question. Ikuno followed Ichigo's gaze and saw Zero and Zero-Two sitting together, Zero-Two still smiling happily. According to the rules, that area was the boys' area, and girls weren't allowed to go in.

Yuuko and Mirai looked down at Zero and Zero-Two, who were showing off their affection, with disdain, while Ichigo was somewhat angry. For some reason, seeing Zero and Zero-Two together made Ichigo feel particularly angry.

"After that, she'll be the only one left, right?" The three girls went downstairs together, with Mirai walking in front, asking with some anger.

Before the three girls even reached the bottom of the stairs, the lobby door suddenly opened. To their astonishment, Goro, Tai, and the other two were wearing only their underwear, towels around their necks, and their clothes were damp. Mirai, Ichigo, and Ikuno were all shocked to see these three boys appear in the lobby like this. What... what is this?!
