Instead, You Che and his group returned to the research institute looking dejected.

Meanwhile, at the research institute, Tianjin Gai, Iz, and Yaz were waiting for the group.

When Hiden Aruto returned and saw Izu, he almost burst into tears.

He was really wronged.

Unfortunately, before Hiden Aruto could even have his episode, Yuche took a glass of water from Azu's hand, drank it, and then slammed the glass down on the table.

"Too deceiving!"

Everyone else was startled, but Yaz invited Yu Che to sit down and then diligently massaged Yu Che's shoulders and back.

As for why You Che was so angry...

Let's go back to the time when the four idiots from MetsubouJinrai.net were posing there.

Even though Ark is missing from the Four Idiots, it doesn't matter; they still need to strike a pose.

Seeing the four idiots resurrected on the spot, You Che fell silent.

Then he looked at Pegasus and offered his idea: "Let's pause the fight for now. You want Ark's power, right? I'll give it to you."

Pegasus raised an eyebrow, then jumped down from above and teleported to You Che's side.

Why should I agree to your request?

"A request? Are you mistaken about something?" Yu Che tilted his head and looked at Pegasus, then reached out and pressed his hand on his belt to cancel the transformation.

"I'm threatening you."

You Che looked at Bekas with a half-smile.

Pegasus raised an eyebrow, then looked at Yu Che with amusement: "Threatening me? You don't actually think you can defeat me, do you?"

You Che shrugged: "Of course not, at least not now."

However…

As Yu Che spoke, he pulled out the Panda Gun and aimed it at Hiden Aruto.

"You can indeed change reality, but not without conditions."

For example, the power related to Ark that I and Aruto possess.

"Of course you can kill me, but then Aruto will immediately destroy his own key! And if you want to obtain the Ark power from Aruto then, who knows how long it will take to repair it."

Yu Che squinted at Pegasus: "Is this why you're unwilling to kill me? You're perfectly capable of killing me. After all, compared to Aruto, I'm too weak right now. But for the sake of my power, you can't kill me."

Even to protect Ark's power from being compromised, you have to protect me from getting hurt.

Pegasus stood still, calmly watching Yu Che. Due to the knight's helmet obscuring his expression, it was impossible to see what it was.

Fortunately, Bekas admitted it.

He had no reason to lie, nor was there any need for him to.

Now that You Che has figured it out, there's no point in him continuing to hide it.

"You really are... truly excellent..."

"There's no need to say such obvious things. Let me guess: you don't actually mind, and you even want me to become your subordinate and voluntarily hand over Ark's power, right?"

"But your daughter hates me so much that she absolutely refuses to agree, right?"

Pegasus was genuinely surprised this time.

With a flick of his wrist, Ark's knight armor vanished. Pegasus looked at Yu Che with interest: "I can understand your other speculations, but how did you know that Vivian disagreed with my plan to make you my subordinate?"

You Che chuckled: "After all, someone as outstanding as me wouldn't be overlooked by any CEO, right? You are the CEO of Zaiya Corporation."

Pegasus laughed; he laughed heartily.

You Che grinned.

Then, Pegasus suddenly stopped smiling and nodded to Yu Che: "Okay, I can agree to that, but I will only give you three days. After three days, I will come to take the last Ark power from Hiden or Human President."

After saying that, Pegasus took Ark's belt from Yuche and left.

With Pegasus' departure, the four idiots of MetsubouJinrai also left.

These four idiots are now completely under control.

After Pegasus left, Yu Che plopped down on the ground and then rubbed his temples vigorously.

—Then the OP went live.

The main feature begins:

Tianjin Gai looked at Yu Che in surprise: "You actually took Ark's belt from Pegasus?! Do you know what the consequences will be?! Pegasus will become even stronger!"

Upon hearing Tianjin Gai's accusations, You Che's anger flared up instantly.

"So what?! If I don't give it to him, do you think you'll still be able to see us now?! Will you come and collect our corpses then?!"

Tianjin Gai opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he sighed and sat down, sulking.

You Che rubbed his temples and looked at the others, asking, "Now, everyone, what should we do? You've all seen Pegasus's current abilities, what are your thoughts?"

"..." Everyone fell silent.

“Um…” In the silence, Hiden Aruto suddenly raised his hand, “How about… I give the key to the Shining Metal Hopper to Mr. Pegasus? After all, we’re no match for him. In that case, then…”

"No way!" The first to disagree was not Yu Che, but Fu Po.

"Aruto! You can't have such thoughts! Even if Pegasus is stronger than all of us combined, you still can't have such thoughts!"

“But…” Hiden Aruto lowered his head, a hint of sadness in his voice, “we are too weak…”

Bu Po opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he only sighed.

Fuwa clenched his fists, deeply hating his own powerlessness.

“Even if we're all weaker than Pegasus combined, we can't just hand over the key for nothing,” Yu Tetsu said to Hiden Aruto. “I know what you're thinking—that Pegasus isn't like Ark, whose goal is to destroy humanity, that Pegasus is simply after power…”

At this point, Yu Che changed the subject: "But have you ever thought about what Pegasus did to gain power?"

The Dawn Incident began because of him, and later, in order to gain power, he immediately began his actions after your grandfather's death...

Is he really as harmless as you think?

Hiden Aruto opened his mouth, but didn't know how to respond.

Yu Che sighed helplessly: "Besides... don't forget, that guy Pegasus almost triggered another Dawn Event in order to buy time, but he didn't succeed because of Iz."

To be honest, if it weren't for Yaz, Iz would have completely disappeared by now.

Shouldn't this raise your suspicions?

Yu Che looked at Hiden Aruto with a serious expression.

One thing that must be admitted is that Izu's lack of Gaa makes Hiden Aruto a bit too soft.

Sometimes, taking a step back can be seen as a strategic shift.

However, if we keep retreating... then it's not a strategic shift, it's outright abandonment...

Chapter 248 Using any means necessary won't work.

Of course, that's what they say, but how to deal with Pegasus... no one had a clue.

Especially after Gai Tianjin learned about Pegasus's abilities from Fuwa and Ren-nee, Gai Tianjin was stunned for a long time before finally shaking his head helplessly.

He had absolutely no way of solving the problem.

Shining Metal Hopper is arguably the highest level of ability that Tianjin Gai can achieve.

That's true, at least for now.

Even with the Ark belt as an aid, it would be absolutely impossible for Gai Amatsu to make further breakthroughs in the short term.

Bekas only gave them three days.

In fact, it's quite clear that these three days were the time Pegasus needed to thoroughly digest and absorb the data from the belt that Yuche had given him.

It's not like Pegasus suddenly had a change of heart or anything.

In short, if they don't figure out a solution to Pegasus's problem within three days, they'll still have to face that guy Pegasus after three days.

As for Yutsu giving Ark's belt to Pegasus...

Just as You Che said, we really have to give them; if we don't, they'll never come back...

but……

You Che called Tianjin Gai aside, and the two of them went into a closed room one after the other.

You Che wanted to ask Tianjin Gai about an idea he had, but he didn't know if it was even possible to make it happen.

Hiden Aruto was somewhat puzzled by Yu Che's decision to call Tianjin Gai away, but he didn't say anything.

Not long after, a quarrel broke out in the room.

Then, the sealed room opened, and Tianjin Gai waved at You Che and shouted, "I absolutely disagree with your idea! You are gambling with everyone's lives!"

Yu Che followed behind Tianjin Gai, frowning as he spoke: "But this is the only way we can win! Besides placing our hopes on Aruto, what other options do you have?!"

Hiden Aruto was completely bewildered. What? Could this be related to me?

Tianjin Gai opened his mouth, then waved his hand irritably: "In short, no means no! If we go by your idea, I might as well believe that idiot Hiden Aruto's idea. Maybe Pegasus really just wants to obtain the strongest power, and that's all there is to it?!"

He had no ambition, no desire; he acted solely to gain power!

You Che looked at Tianjin Gai with a pained expression: "Do you even need to look at what you're saying? Do you even believe what you're saying?"

“I believe you!” Tianjin Gai said to You Che, his neck stiff. “It’s better than your kind of terrible idea!”

You Che rubbed his temples and said helplessly to Tianjin Gai, "I'm just stating a possibility; things may not necessarily turn out that way."

Tianjin Gai waved his hand: "In short, I absolutely disagree!"

"Um..." Hiden Aruto cautiously approached and asked Amatsu Gai, "What are you arguing about? We're all comrades, aren't we? The most important thing right now is to stay united..."

If Hiden Aruto were the protagonist of an evil sword immortal or another knight-themed story, he should be able to appease Gai Amatsu.

Unfortunately he is not.
