Just as the group was catching up, a discordant voice suddenly broke in.

Ikuma Shōken got up from the ground somewhat awkwardly. After all, he was a formidable figure with an IP ranking of 1584. Although Hiruko Kagetane's bullet reflexes were somewhat unexpected, it was still difficult to injure someone as strong as him, who ranked among the top of the more than 70 police officers in the world, just by doing that.

However, despite his strength, Ikuma Shoken's brain was really not up to par. He dared to shout even when everyone else was keeping quiet. Before Shana, who had been frowning, could speak, the usually calm and collected Holy Emperor couldn't help but lose his temper!

boom!

It's hard to imagine that the Holy Emperor would ever slam her fist on the table. Even though she was far away in the Holy Residence, the sound coming through the speakers still startled Ikuma Shoken. No matter how bold he was, he wouldn't dare to offend the Holy Emperor, the highest authority in the Tokyo area.

"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor!"

On the screen, the Holy Emperor's beautiful face was filled with anger, and what he said next left everyone in the conference room, including General Yi Xiong, completely stunned.

"It seems my guess was right, it really is them."

The Emperor's excited appearance shattered Hiruko Kagetane's last shred of hope, but recalling Lin Yu's earlier words, he did not act rashly.

"Ten years ago, the Tokyo area was attacked by the Taurus, a zodiacal stage V gastrulator, along with nearly 100,000 gastrulators."

The Holy Emperor uttered seemingly unrelated words, but Ikuma Shōken instinctively sensed something was amiss. Meanwhile, many people in the hall seemed to have realized something and cast incredulous glances at Shana, who was standing on the long table.

"She saved the entire Tokyo area during that crisis. The undisputed strongest duo, ranked number one in IP, and known as one of the 'two heroes'!"

"Her name is—Shana!"

Every Friday is when the editors arrange featured posts. I originally thought we wouldn't have any featured posts next week, but the editor gave us a big surprise—we're getting a category-wide featured post next week! When I saw the message, I thought I was seeing things. While a category-wide featured post isn't as strong as a site-wide featured post, it's not much weaker. We can't waste it, so I'm working hard on my writing.

127. Forms that become interesting

"Her name is—Shana!"

Even though they had some suspicions, everyone present gasped when they actually heard the name.

There are two people in this Tokyo area whose names are widely known.

One of them single-handedly stopped the zodiac gastrulator 'Taurus' that attempted to destroy the Tokyo area. On that day ten years ago, that battle was a miracle witnessed by almost everyone in the entire Tokyo area. Before that, no one could have imagined that a Stage V gastrulator could be so powerful.

Everyone who witnessed the battle had no doubt that, without Lin Yu's obstruction, Taurus alone would have been able to conquer the Tokyo area, and the subsequent Gastrea army would have destroyed all the survivors in the Tokyo area!

Lin Yu was just one of the two who went to fight Taurus at that time; the other person also achieved an incredible feat!

Among the Gastrea, those capable of flight pose a far greater threat than those that can only move on land. The total number of Gastrea that joined Taurus in the initial attack was close to 100,000, of which several thousand were flying Gastrea. After the war, some analysts believed that if these thousands of flying Gastrea had ignored the terrain and attacked the defending forces directly, given their speed and regenerative abilities, humans could very well have been torn open by them with a fatal breach.

Fortunately, these thousands of flying Gastrea were wiped out by an incredible human girl named Shana!

It can be said that the current police duo is modeled after the original Lin Yu and Xia Na, which is why Xia Na has a unique name.

"The First Child of the Curse!"

Although Ikuma Shōken was rather slow-witted, he wasn't so indifferent as to hear Shana's name. He was one of the witnesses to that battle, and he knew very well how powerful the so-called first cursed child was. She was a terrifying monster who had single-handedly wiped out thousands of Gastrea!

That's right, in Ikuma's eyes, Lin Yu and Shana are monsters, real monsters!

"So, he is Lin Yu?!"

Rentaro Satomi felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He had seen the battle that saved the entire Tokyo area on the big screen in the stadium, but due to the technical problems at the time, no one except those who had seen Lin Yu near the Holy City could recognize the man who was hailed as a hero.

"You must be imposters. How could you still look the same after ten years!"

Having thought about this question, Rentaro Satomi calmed down a little. He was not the kind of person who would just follow the crowd. Even though the Holy Emperor and Kisara had already decided on each other, he still raised his doubts.

"Oh? You seem a little skeptical."

Lin Yu turned his head to look at Rentaro Satomi, who was standing next to him with a wary expression.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but it doesn't make sense."

Rentaro Satomi shook his head. His performance began to shake the others. After all, this world was ultimately a world without much mystery, and it was almost impossible for nothing to have changed in ten years.

"Haha, so in your opinion, do these flames also make sense?"

Lin Yu suddenly realized that the original male lead seemed quite interesting, and for a moment a playful expression appeared on his face.

"Look, these are clearly flames, but they don't burn objects; instead, they freeze them!"

Lin Yu casually picked up a fragment and brought it to the floating ice flame. In an instant, a fragment of the table was completely covered by a layer of ice crystals.

"Try it for yourself?"

As he spoke, Lin Yu tossed the ice stack in his hand to Rentaro Satomi, who instinctively caught it.

Click.

"It's so cold!"

Rentaro Satomi shuddered and tried to throw away the ice cube in his hand, only to find that the pale blue ice cube had stuck to his hand!

Because of the original work, Lin Yu had an extremely bad impression of the original protagonist, and he was intentionally trying to make him suffer. However, the latter seemed to be more resolute than he had imagined.

"Tendo Style Combat Technique, Form One, Fifth Form: Tiger's Roar!"

Rentaro Satomi used a special method of force to punch the wall next to him, and the enormous power even cracked the wall.

"Want to shatter the ice? Interesting idea."

Lin Yu watched with a smile as the expression on Satomi Rentaro's face gradually froze.

"How...could that be?"

When he raised his hand in front of him, the ice that had stuck to his skin was completely intact. You have to understand that his punch should have shattered even a diamond!

"Tch, if you can break the ice that I'm specially treated to, I might as well find a block of tofu and smash my head against it."

Lin Yu curled his lips in disdain. When he watched the anime before, he hated the male protagonist who had killed so many lolis. Now that he had a rare opportunity to get revenge, how could he not cherish it?

Although it's quite unfair to Rentaro Satomi, since he hasn't done anything wrong!

Rentaro Satomi's experience dispelled everyone's doubts. The fact that he could so easily throw a piece of ice and leave a police officer, who was not weak, helpless was something that even if it wasn't Lin Yu, it was definitely not something that they could handle.

"Brother, please let Satomi go."

Kisara tugged at Lin Yu's sleeve. Although it had been ten years since Kisara had seen Lin Yu, she could tell from the curve of his lips that he had deliberately arranged to meet Rentaro.

Because it was the same expression he had when he bullied me ten years ago.

"Alright, alright, since you've pleaded for me, Koki."

Lin Yu helplessly shrugged, then snapped his fingers, and the piece of ice stuck to Satomi Rentaro's hand shattered.

Originally, the ice that Lin Yu created with ice flames was also very special, but it could never achieve this effect. However, the problem was that Lin Yu deliberately wanted to mess with his opponent. After the ice block left his hand, he kept injecting existence power into it. Anyway, ordinary people can't see existence power. On the other hand, Shana kept rolling her eyes.

"Why I haven't come back for ten years and why nothing has changed in ten years are not important questions."

Lin Yu nodded to Shana, who then removed the sword from Hiruko Kohina's neck. Poor, somewhat yandere Kohina seemed to have encountered her natural enemy, and even though Shana had already removed the sword, she didn't dare to move. The sight of her small body trembling slightly made Lin Yu feel quite sorry for her.

"I've said it before, right? Count me in too!"

Lin Yu revealed a somewhat bloodthirsty smile. Upon hearing this, Hiruko Kagetane, whose body had been tense, relaxed slightly. The current situation seemed to be getting quite interesting...

128. The farce is over.

"Uncle, what are you saying?"

The Holy Emperor was stunned for a long time before she reacted and asked anxiously. She sensed an ominous premonition in Lin Yu's words.

No one cared about the way the Holy Emperor addressed Lin Yu; all they wanted to know was what this person, widely recognized as the strongest, was up to.

"It means exactly what it says. Now that the 'Seven Stars' relics' have been lost, I certainly can't miss such an interesting game."

Lin Yu smiled happily, but gave off a chilling aura.

"Let me confirm, Lin Yu, after you found the 'Seven Stars' relics,' you're not going to return them to us, are you?"

Kikunojo Tendo had calmed down from his shock. Even the Holy Emperor could sense that Lin Yu's attitude was completely different from ten years ago, let alone the shrewd and experienced Tendo.

Those who had initially been skeptical were now free of doubt after hearing what Tendo Kikunojo said. If Kisaragi and the Holy Emperor might have made a mistake ten years ago when they were still young, Tendo Kikunojo, who was revered as a 'Living National Treasure,' was absolutely not going to be mistaken.

"of course not."

Although Lin Yu's identity has been confirmed, his words have only made things more confusing.

"Mr. Lin Yu, what exactly do you mean by that?"

Even Rentaro Satomi grew up hearing the name Lin Yu. Although Lin Yu and Shana had disappeared from this world for ten years, their battle against Taurus was broadcast live throughout the city, and they were worshipped as saviors of the Tokyo area.

But now, this former savior has given Rentaro Satomi a very bad feeling.

Is it hard for me to understand what I mean?

Lin Yu slightly opened his hands.

"Since the 'Seven Stars Relic' has the ability to summon Stage V, let's summon it. Don't you think it would be more interesting to announce our return to the world with the death of a Stage V?"

Even though they were mentally prepared, the shock of such dangerous remarks, which could have been executed on the spot, coming from someone who had been worshipped as a guardian deity for ten years, was too great. Even Kisaragi and the Holy Emperor found it hard to accept.

"Don't be ridiculous! Just to let the world know you're here, are you really going to subject the entire Tokyo area to another potentially devastating disaster?!"

Rentaro Satomi was particularly angry and said something that everyone understood but no one dared to say aloud.

Lin Yu walked step by step toward Satomi Rentaro. Anyone with eyes could see the displeasure on the other's face.

"elder brother!"

Kisara called out worriedly, but she swallowed the rest of her words because Shana had come to her side and made a shushing gesture.

"Anyone in this world has the right to say this to me, but you don't."

Lin Yu stared at Satomi Rentaro with an ambiguous look for a few seconds, then patted him on the shoulder.

"Try to find that box before Shana and I do, otherwise we can't guarantee that the fight won't spread to the Tokyo area."

Lin Yu spoke casually as he approached Hiruko Kagetane and his daughter.

"Hiruko Kagetane, right? How about we have a race to see who finds the box first? Relax, there's no need to be so tense. You don't actually think that toy gun can hurt me, do you?"

Lin Yu looked at Hiruko Kagetane, who was wearing a comical mask, with a half-smile. The other party had already secretly grasped two rather stylish handguns, but those things posed zero threat to Lin Yu. They were even less of a threat than toy guns to ordinary people. If they hit him, it would only hurt for a moment.

"Oh? Since Mr. Lin Yu is so interested, we'll certainly keep you company."

Hiruko Kagetane was no longer as casual as before; his body was tense. Although he knew he was no match for this monster who could single-handedly defeat a Stage V and survive a massive explosion that flattened most of the valley, this level of vigilance had become an instinct.

"Uncle, are you really going to do this? Why?"

The Holy Emperor said with some heartache that she had already lost her only friend, Mu Geng, because of a misunderstanding. Now, was Lin Yu, who had finally returned, going to stand against her?

"Saint-chan, you must be pushing for the new Gastrea Law, right?"
