Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"The answer is simple: you underestimated him. You underestimated both his caution and his methods."

"Clap clap-"

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and two people walked slowly over from a distance. They walked to Miyazaki Yu and Vermouth, bowed to them, and then stood quietly to the side.

Upon seeing the pair of crimson eyes of one of them, Karasuma Renya trembled inwardly.

"It's Akame and Lingche! You didn't die, but instead sided with Miyazaki Yu!"

Vermouth scoffed: "No one wants to die as long as they can live. Akame and Lingche are both top-tier superpowered individuals. Subduing them to serve you is the best approach, of course."

It's all thanks to their help. If it weren't for Chi Tong and Ling Che's help, I wouldn't have been able to infiltrate the White House's most secret bunker so easily and plant a bomb inside.

And you might not believe it, but we have the ability to dig a vertical shaft that leads hundreds of meters underground overnight.

As he spoke, he looked at Miyazaki Yu. Miyazaki Yu nodded, snapped his fingers, and a small figure, as fast as lightning, appeared on Miyazaki Yu's shoulder in an instant. It was a huge cat.

This cat is enormous, almost the size of a regular pet dog. It looks like a cheetah cub, but its fur and shape make it resemble a calico cat.

What's most striking isn't the cat's unusually large size, but rather the three long tails it has!

Compared to when it had two tails, Lingyu was not only much larger, but its aura was also completely different. Karasuma Renya, whose mental power was exceptionally sharp, actually felt a great sense of threat from this little thing.

"That's a cat? How could it be..."

"Meow meow!"

Lingyu stood proudly on Miyazaki Yu's shoulder and chirped softly a few times. The ground around them trembled slightly, and after a moment, countless rats emerged from the ground like a black tide.

Clearly, Lingyu, having undergone another significant change, has further enhanced her ability to control rats, easily managing tens or hundreds of thousands of rats to serve her.

At that moment, as a large number of rats emerged, a dark hole was revealed beneath the ground. Upon seeing this hole, Karasuma Renya understood everything completely.

The course of events must have been like this: after discovering Yukiko's whereabouts, Miyazaki Hayao and Vermouth did not rush into the underground space to rescue her.

Instead, the cat directed the countless mice that worked day and night to silently dig a vertical shaft hundreds of meters deep underground. Through this passage, Akame and Reiche approached Kudo Yusaku without anyone noticing.

Only then did they finally discover the problem: Akame's Crimson Eyes and Lingche's ability to find peace were already a perfect combination. With these two in Miyazaki Yu's hands, they were like a tiger with wings.

As for the more detailed things, they are no longer important. Whether the Kudo couple are alive or dead, it cannot change the fact that at this moment, he is probably doomed.

After a long silence, his aura swirled and coalesced. He would not surrender, for he was Karasuma Renya, the leader of the Black Organization, the most terrifying darkness in the world.

He lives to bring fear to others, so no matter who stands before him, whether they are a true god or not, he will fight to the very end!

"This old guy is yours to handle, and the rest of those damn things are mine."

With that, she took a step forward and vanished without a trace. Vermouth narrowed her eyes, her gaze falling on Karasuma Renya's face. She sighed silently in her heart, thinking that it was time to end everything.

As he spoke, a sharp aura emanated from his body, and a strange set of armor, which had appeared out of nowhere, covered his entire body. He then transformed into a phantom and charged towards Karasuma Renya.

Chapter 604 Yukiko's Pain (3rd update!)

"boom!"

From within the black smoke and dust, violent shockwaves erupted, and wisps of lightning crackled within the dark clouds, their white streaks swirling wildly like silver snakes.

Each strand of silver snake carried a powerful pressure, enough to shatter rocks!

As the silver snakes flowed, countless black tentacles formed from black mist slithered and twisted within them, resembling countless black snakes moving about.

The moment the lightning flashed, the halo shone through the mist, revealing two figures colliding violently in the fog, like raging dragons intertwining.

The two sides engaged in battle were, naturally, Vermouth and Karasuma Renya.

At this moment, Karasuma Renya was in dire straits. His attack was terrifying, with black mist mixed with silvery-white electricity, carrying terrifying power.

It possesses both undefendable electric current attacks and irresistible black mist tentacles, and the spiritual power contained within them constantly attempts to erode the opponent's spirit.

No matter how he attacked, he couldn't really pose a danger to Vermouth. When the electric current passed through her armor, it was like the spectacular sight of the Thunder and Fire Alchemy Hall in Wudang Mountain.

The golden lightning bolts rolled down onto the golden roof, but they couldn't actually cause any damage. Instead, they made the entire armor shine brightly, just like the golden armor worn by a Gold Saint.

At this moment, Vermouth's own combat strength has reached the level of a peak swordsman, which is much stronger than Nishikawa Tetsumei. In addition, with this armor, her combat strength is already among the top in the ranks of extraordinary powerhouses!

"What terrifying armor! Its defensive capabilities are so immense. Moreover, there's a strange crystal layer on top of it that can actually block lightning. Combined with the armor's defense against mental and physical attacks, it's practically impenetrable. Am I destined to die here?"

The two fists collided with a loud crash. Karasuma Renya groaned, his body unable to support him any longer. He flew backward like a meteor, crashing hard into a broken section of the wall, his body embedding itself directly into the wall.

"puff--"

A mouthful of blood mixed with internal organs spurted from his already bloodshot mouth. His entire arm was broken into pieces. Vermouth's punch had severely injured him, and one arm was now completely useless.

"Vermouth, I never imagined that your strength had reached this level. Even I am no match for you anymore."

His expression seemed somewhat sorrowful, and he slumped down, his previous domineering and loving aura completely gone.

Seeing Karasuma Renya in this state, Vermouth let out a soft breath, her eyes calm.

Since meeting Miyazaki Yu, everything about her has changed. Although she had long known that she and Karasuma Renya would eventually clash, she never expected that day to come so quickly and so suddenly.

“BOSS, ever since you gave up on me, you must have known that this day would come sooner or later. Whether I am the one who ends your life or not, the ending will not change.”

Karasuma Renya lowered his gaze, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his only movable left hand, and sneered.

"Perhaps, but I never thought I was wrong. Giving you up was just one of my means to move forward. Only by having the determination to give up everything can one become a winner."

Then, without any suspense or surprise, as Vermouth's dagger slashed across, a line of blood spread along Karasuma Renya's neck, and his body collapsed to the ground like a rock, lifeless.

"Akame, take this body away; he's also important research material!"

Miyazaki Yu touched his nose. Bayonetta knew he liked to collect the corpses of these powerful individuals because each corpse was a huge treasure trove. By studying their secrets, one could find more secrets about the human body and gain greater power.

In the battle of passion, Miyazaki Yu sent Kevin Yoshino and Hunter to secretly collect some human specimens, such as the bodies of Thor, Swamp, and Green Vine, three superpowered beings, as well as the corpse of a cardinal and several fanatic corpses.

This was another huge gain for Miyazaki Hayao during the battle.

Karasuma Renya's abilities surpass those of these people, making him the perfect research subject. However, his identity is special. Although they are enemies, he is Vermouth's father, a fact that remains regardless of whether either side acknowledges it.

Karasuma Renya can die, but collecting his body for research might be unacceptable to Vermouth. The fact that she said this now is to tell Miyazaki Yu not to worry about it.

Vermouth walked up to Miyazaki Yu and whispered, "He was never my father, just a devil who liked to be high and mighty. I've always lived in his shadow. Now it's all over. Let's go see Yukiko. I think she needs me right now."

Yukiko slowly awoke from her coma. The intense sunlight made her feel disoriented, and a tearing pain shot through her brain, causing her to groan.

"Ouch! What's wrong with me? Why does my head hurt so much?"

"Yukiko, you're awake."

Following the sound, Yukiko saw Vermouth's figure and snapped out of her daze, but her expression immediately changed.

"I'm out? Where's Yusaku? I don't see Yusaku."

At this moment, Yukiko's memory is still stuck on the instant before the explosion, when Miyazaki Yu carried her to the place where Kudo Yusaku was imprisoned, and Kudo Yusaku was already on the verge of death. Then she lost consciousness until she woke up now.

Vermouth sighed as she looked at Yukiko's bewildered and helpless expression.

After clearing the tunnel, she and Miyazaki Yu originally wanted to rescue Kudo Yusaku, but Karasuma Renya had removed some of his organs in order to insert the nuclear bomb into his stomach. He was only able to live by some devices.

In reality, Yusaku Kudo was already dead at that time, just like a tree whose roots had withered but which still looked very lush. In fact, death was only a matter of time.

"Yukiko, Kudo Yusaku has died in the nuclear explosion. Karasuma Renya put the nuclear bomb in his stomach and cut off many of his organs. By the time we found him, it was too late to save him. Moreover, the nuclear bomb would explode instantly if it was hit by an external force. So in the end, we had no choice but to give up on him and save you instead."

"Yusaku!"

Yukiko's face turned deathly pale, and she seemed to have lost her soul. She stood there blankly for a moment, then collapsed limply to the ground, where Vermouth caught her in her arms.

Just then, Miyazaki Yu walked over, and Vermouth hummed softly, "Come and help me, weren't you having a great time hugging me just now?"

Miyazaki Yu chuckled and pulled Yukiko close. Seeing Vermouth's eyebrows about to rise, he then handed Yukiko back to her. It felt good to hold this beautiful woman, and she was also Conan's mother, which added to her charm.

But now, her husband has just died, and Sister Bei is here, so he's not going to risk offending her. It's better for him to behave himself.

At that moment, the roar of armed helicopters could be heard in the distance, and a large number of armed personnel finally arrived at the scene.

"This matter is finally completely over. I'm really curious to see what kind of treatment those guys will give me. Will they really treat me like a servant of God? It's something to look forward to."

Chapter 605 Yukiko's Transformation

The earthquake triggered by the nuclear explosion still attracted a lot of attention, but under the cover-up by the US government, it was only claimed to be a tremor caused by a missile test.

This explanation, of course, cannot satisfy everyone. However, the US government only needs an excuse and has no intention of satisfying everyone. Those who are dissatisfied can remain dissatisfied, as long as they keep quiet.

Then Miyazaki Yu called Conan and told him the whole story about Kudo Yusaku's death. There was no point in hiding it; Karasuma Renya was already dead, and the Black Organization's strength had been greatly reduced.

Vermouth, however, was never idle. Having just finished all of this, and having spent a day with the distraught Yukiko, she left with two snipers and two supernatural experts.

The Black Organization was left behind by Karasuma Renya. Now that Karasuma Renya is dead, there is no need for this organization to exist.

However, it would be a real shame to destroy it directly. This is a good opportunity to bring the organization under our control and give this 'drinkhouse' a new lease on life.

Yukiko was in a daze for several days. Miyazaki Yu visited her a few times, but she remained silent each time.

This poor woman needs time, and only time, to heal her inner wounds.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad, but she went on a hunger strike and refused to eat anything.

In just a few days, this once radiant beauty has become haggard and emaciated, almost losing all her radiance.

This infuriated Miyazaki Yu. Even though her husband had died, how could Kudo Yusaku survive by trying to kill himself like this?

Unable to bear it any longer, he carried a bowl of porridge to her room, placed his hand on her neck, and a strange force surged into her body, causing all her muscles to instantly lose control.

Her tightly clenched jaw involuntarily opened, her white teeth trembling slightly. As the porridge flowed down her throat, she swallowed involuntarily, and within minutes, she had swallowed the entire bowl of porridge.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

After she finished eating, Miyazaki Yu stopped, while Yukiko coughed violently. Miyazaki Yu had just forcibly controlled the opening and closing of her muscles and made her swallow, causing her great discomfort.

Once she caught her breath, she couldn't help but glare at Miyazaki Yu, her beautiful eyes trembling like a stubborn little leopard.

Miyazaki Yu frowned: "Don't look at me like that. I did all this to save you. Your body is already very weak. If this continues, you won't survive."

"Wow!"

Yukiko could no longer control her emotions; tears streamed down her face like a torrential downpour, soaking her clothes in an instant.

A moment later, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Miyazaki Yu, then bit his shoulder hard. She bit hard, but Miyazaki Yu's skin was very resilient, and no matter how hard she bit, she didn't leave a mark.

On the contrary, her teeth felt weak and sore, as if they were being pressed against a tough piece of cowhide.

This made her cry even louder.

"Why didn't you save him? If you had just helped, you could definitely have saved him!"
