The orange flames enveloping his entire body surged instantly, and his desperate roar echoed throughout almost the entire city of Tokyo!

"Xiaoyu! Calm down! Don't let the Flames of Sin consume you!"

Shana anxiously flapped her Crimson Lotus Wings, trying to get to Lin Yu's side.

"Don't come any closer!"

The angry shout made Shana stop what she was doing. She dared not provoke Lin Yu any further. She knew about the power of the Flame of Sin. Once you got too deeply involved, you would lose yourself in it and never be able to find your true self again!

"As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you..."

Lin Yu looked at his palm and gave a self-deprecating smile.

"How ironic, I just said that a moment ago."

The flames enveloping Lin Yu gradually turned from orange to red, a direct manifestation of his rising anger. Although Shana didn't know which of the seven deadly sins orange represented, she knew that red represented rage!

A hero in a rage is unstoppable in this world except for Shana!

"I said that, yet I couldn't even protect their safety!"

The gold in his right pupil slowly receded, replaced by a deep red!

"Xiaoyu! You don't even know who the murderer is, are you going to indiscriminately kill innocent people?!"

Shana didn't care how many people died, but she didn't want to see Lin Yu consumed by the flames of sin in hatred. If no one could stop him, the world would eventually be destroyed by him!

"Who else could be the murderer?"

Lin Yu revealed a sinister smile: "Remember? I told you they were all modified, cursed children."

Shana took a deep breath, and with Lin Yu's prompting, she naturally figured out the answer.

"Ayn Rand, who modified them! He planted bombs inside their bodies!"

"Yeah, maybe that guy sees Tina and the others as nothing more than tools that can be reproduced after paying a certain price? Haha, he really went to great lengths to kill me!"

Lin Yu burst into wild laughter. Between extreme joy and sorrow, his mind was extremely unstable. Coupled with the influence of the Flame of Rage, Shana could almost predict what Lin Yu would do next!

"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu."

Shana drew her sword, the Nite-dono Shana, with a serious expression. She always had her own thoughts and judgments. Just like in the original story, she would fight against Yuuji for her own conscience. She would not let Lin Yu fall into the Flame of Sin!

"As long as I can stop you, I'll find a way to get revenge!"

Shana didn't want Lin Yu to give up revenge, but rather that Lin Yu in his current state would definitely be consumed by the Flame of Sin and eventually become a monster that only knew how to kill, a monster many times more terrifying than the Zodiac Gastrea!

"Shana, you're very strong. Normally, I wouldn't be a match for you, but now..."

Although he had entered the state of raging fury, Lin Yu's expression showed no trace of madness; on the contrary, he was extremely calm.

"My emotions are something only I can control; no one can dictate them!"

The crimson flames of sin changed once again, deepening under Shana's watchful gaze until they finally transformed into a darkness that seemed to devour everything!

"Since he treats Tina and the others as pawns that can be discarded at any time, then I will make him experience what fear, despair, and a living hell really are!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of enormous wings, seemingly capable of blotting out the sky, unfurled behind Lin Yu. His face, which usually displayed a gentle smile, was now filled with deep-seated hatred, like a vengeful avenger returned from hell.

Target—North America!

[Just to clarify, the girl was going to take it all with her; keep reading to find out more.]

180. Eight hours later! Midnight!

The enormous, jet-black wings blotted out the sky, turning everything within a kilometer radius dark, as if even the sky itself was obscured. Everyone in the Tokyo area turned their gaze toward Lin Yu's direction, and whether they could see the wings or not, they all felt the immense pressure emanating from that direction!

Lin Yu, positioned at the center of the wings, had eyes as black as ink, devoid of any luster, as if capable of devouring everything.

"Oh no! Xiaoyu, you actually accepted the Flame of Sin on your own initiative!"

The pure, unadulterated darkness, even just looking at it, caused Shana's crimson flames to surge. Alastor, the god of divine punishment who wielded karmic fire, was awakened by the pure darkness, even though he had fallen into a deep sleep after crossing worlds.

"Such pure hatred, what on earth happened?"

Alastor could hardly believe his senses; such pure negative emotion was almost unheard of!

"None of that matters, Alastor. Is there any way to bring Xiaoyu back to her senses?"

Shana held the Nite Palace Shroud as if facing a formidable enemy. She wasn't sure how much of Lin Yu's rationality he still possessed, but the only thing she was certain of was that she absolutely could not let him go. He was practically a human-shaped destruction machine, supported by a terrifying power of existence. His current strength might have already surpassed hers!

Why did I need to wake up again?

Before Alastor could answer, Lin Yu gave a faint smile as usual. If you ignored the pair of wings that blotted out the sky behind him and his pure black eyes, Shana might really believe that he had calmed down.

"No! Xiaoyu, something's definitely wrong with you right now!"

Shana frowned. She couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she could sense it through their unspoken understanding.

"You're wrong. I've said before that only I can control my emotions. No one can sway me, and I will not be swayed by the power that is rightfully mine!"

Lin Yu maintained a faint smile, as if he had already forgotten the blow caused by Tina's death.

"Release this state immediately. Even if you want revenge, there are countless ways to do it!"

The only saving grace at this moment was that Lin Yu was still able to talk, so the situation didn't seem to be as bad as they had imagined.

"No!" A resolute voice, leaving no room for negotiation, rang out from Lin Yu: "I will personally punish Ann Rand, and no one can stop me, not even you, Shana!"

"Is it necessary?"

Gripping the Nite-dono Shana tightly in her hand, Shana's eyes gradually sharpened.

"It must be so."

With a gentle smile, Lin Yu showed no signs of madness at this moment, and even exuded an elegance that was not usually apparent.

"Hiss!" Shana took a deep breath.

"Then even if it means fighting you, Xiaoyu, I will keep you here!"

The flames on the Nie Palace Shana surged, and Shana had demonstrated her resolve through her actions!

"Brother, and sister, why is this happening?"

Below the two, the kitten looked at them in confusion. Just a few minutes ago, everything was peaceful. Even when they were attacked, their brother, who was a hero, managed to break the attack. So why did things turn out like this?

"My enemy is not you, Shana."

Lin Yu looked down at the children who were gazing up at them. His wings, which had been silently burning behind him without making any noise, flapped slightly, and Lin Yu appeared in front of Shana almost instantly.

"Varied!"

Shana's pupils contracted sharply. She had never expected Lin Yu to be so fast. Flame Haze warriors rely heavily on their ability to sense killing intent in battle. Even though Lin Yu's condition was clearly off, he had never shown the slightest bit of killing intent towards Shana. This caught Shana, a Flame Haze warrior, off guard by Lin Yu's sudden surge in speed. By the time she tried to back away, Lin Yu had already grabbed her waist.

"Waaah..."

Before Shana could even react, Lin Yu had already taken her lips into his mouth. Shana, at a loss, could only whimper twice, her body frozen in mid-air, unsure of what to do.

"Please protect these children for me and don't let them get hurt again. I'll be back soon, don't worry, I'm really okay."

After a long while, Lin Yu finally released Xia Na, whispered a few words in her ear, and then flapped his jet-black wings, which had a wingspan of a thousand meters, and flew into the distance. With just one flap of his wings, he almost stirred up a small storm that could be seen with the naked eye, and disappeared into the distance in an instant...

--------

"So what if humanity is the strongest? No matter how powerful the body is, it's still human. If attacked by six bombs without any warning, even the strongest human will die!"

Inside a secret American base, Ann Rand clinked glasses with the Führer, a toast intended for celebration. From the outset, he had not placed any hope on the Tina sisters' assassination. He had personally witnessed Lin Yu's killing of Taurus ten years ago, and the success rate was extremely low.

However, when he modified the six Tina sisters, he planted powerful bombs inside their bodies. If they fail in their mission and are killed, the enemy may become interested in the technology inside their bodies. The existence of the bombs can not only destroy their bodies but also severely damage the enemy forces!

Even Ayn Rand herself never imagined that her original idea would be used on one person, but now, just thinking about him makes her feel smug. So what if he's the strongest human? He still died in her plan!

"It's amazing that you came up with this idea, but to be on the safe side, let's confirm it with a satellite."

Although this world lacks mystical powers, it possesses a wealth of advanced technology. One such technology is the Sky Ladder, a super weapon capable of killing a Zodiac Gastrea in a single shot. Furthermore, satellites can easily observe any unobstructed location in the world.

Under the orders of the US president, the scene of the abandoned school quickly appeared on the screen. The huge crater in the playground and Shana flying in mid-air with a strange expression made them believe that their target had been successfully killed!

"Poor little girl, she's no threat without a mentor."

Although Shana also possesses great strength, they clearly don't take her seriously. In their eyes, she's just a little girl; how much trouble can she cause?

"Something's not right! Something's not right!"

Ayn Rand, who could be considered a genius, quickly noticed that Shana was acting strangely. It wasn't sadness, helplessness, or despair, but rather a kind of mood swing.

"Report, there's a photo that was just captured by satellite that you need to take a look at!"

Ayn Rand and the Führer exchanged a glance, both seeing unease in each other's eyes; things didn't seem to be going as smoothly as they had anticipated.

"Show it on the screen!"

After the leader finished speaking, a somewhat blurry photo appeared on the screen. It was a strange photo that looked like two wings!

"Enlarge the photo!"

The satellite technology in this world is obviously exceptionally advanced. Even when magnified hundreds of times, it is not blurry. However, when they saw the person in the center of the wings, the two of them gasped in shock!

"He's still alive!"

The two women exchanged a horrified glance. The bombs implanted in Tina's body were so powerful that if they exploded inside her, they could even kill a Gastrea of ​​the Zodiac. Yet, such power had failed to kill him. Was this person a monster?

Where is he flying to?

The leader took out a cigarette, lit it, and asked in a somewhat solemn voice.

"The target is traveling at a speed slightly below the speed of sound. If it does not change direction, it is expected to reach the border in eight hours."

The unsurprising answer caused the leader to drop his cigarette without noticing. He brought his free hand to his mouth but didn't put the cigarette in his mouth. After a long pause, he suddenly rushed over, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and roared, "Immediately assemble all troops on the border! If this monster gets through, we're finished!"

Lin Yu's terrifying destructive power even surpasses that of the Zodiac Gastrea. Now the leader is beginning to regret why he agreed to eliminate such a monster. The only thing to be thankful for is that he still has eight hours left, and it is unknown how much strength the opponent can retain after such a long flight.

The United States was the most powerful country in the world before the Gastrea Wars began, and it completed unification within ten years after the war. As a result, its military power was unprecedented. Even the leader of the Osaka region, Emperor Qi Wuxuanzong, rose to power with the support of the United States.

"What a loss! What a loss! Even if we could kill him, we would lose a large number of troops. It's a complete loss!"

The head of state frowned deeply. For politicians, only interests matter. He chose to assassinate Lin Yu because Lin Yu posed a threat to his interests. However, he did not expect that after the assassination failed, the other party would go to the trouble of flying over from afar. No one would think this aggressive approach was a good thing.

At this moment, the leader did not think that he would fail. Although Lin Yu had the record of killing the Zodiac, the United States also had a super weapon capable of doing the same thing. However, in his opinion, the price to be paid for it was too high!

The Führer and Ann Rand could never have imagined that Lin Yu was actually controlling his flight speed. At this moment, he was far from reaching his maximum speed. Eight hours later, when he flew to the US border, the Zero Hour Child would grant him his full power!

[A supplementary explanation of the Zero Hour Lost Child's setting: Due to time zone issues, the Zero Hour Lost Child's time uses Lin Yu's own 24-hour cycle. This means that regardless of the local time, as long as 24 hours have passed since the last reset of Lin Yu's power, it will reset again!]

[Just a reminder, this book doesn't torture the female characters! Even if Lin Yu dies, he still has two powerful backers, right? With enough points, what can't he accomplish? So those who want to delete the book can wait a bit.]
