Conquer the world, young man!

Totsuka's smile widened. "With you all here, HOMRO will only get better and better." After leaving the bar with Diarmuid, Totsuka glanced back at the HOMRO sign. Unlike the wish the Holy Grail spoke of, the members of HOMRO would be his best companions now and in the future.

"Master?" Diarmuid looked at the drizzling rain. "Shall we go now?"

"Yes." Totsuka nodded. Considering Sawada Iemitsu's tone on the phone, he couldn't afford to waste any more time. "Go to Namimori Middle School. The Ring of the Heirs battle takes place there."

Although it's unclear why the battle took place at Namimori Middle School, perhaps it's simply because Tsuna and the others are students there? The rain wasn't heavy, and Totsuka used a simple barrier to keep him and Diarmuid dry.

Diarmuid himself didn't care about the rain, but seeing his Master's thoughtfulness, the warmth in his heart never dissipated.

"It's only been a few days since I last saw it, but Namimori seems to have changed a bit." Totsuka looked at the campus, which appeared unchanged from the outside, but he could still clearly sense that something was amiss.

"Tatara!" Tsuna rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he looked at the person who had appeared on campus. "How did you get here?!" According to Reborn, Totsuka seemed to have gone to Fuyuki City. Could he have returned so soon?

"Tsuna." Totsuka turned around and saw the familiar faces, and immediately smiled. "I didn't expect such a big thing to happen, and you didn't even tell me."

"Lord Totsuka!" Gokudera Hayato exclaimed excitedly the moment he saw Totsuka, "I knew Lord Totsuka would appear at this time!"

Reborn waved his little hand and lifted the brim of his hat. "Ciao'su~ Tatara, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly." When Reborn saw the person who had arrived, a smile clearly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Totsuka~" A little child wearing a cow-print onesie skipped and pounced towards Totsuka. "Lord Lambo, it's been so long since I've seen you! Totsuka has to apologize, apologize!"

Totsuka caught Lambo and ruffled his fluffy hair. "Lamb-chan, I was in a bit of a rush today and didn't bring you any candy. How about I bring you some tomorrow?"

Lambo was about to get angry, but when he looked up and saw the boy's eyes, he couldn't help but turn his face away, crossed his arms, and snorted, "Lord Lambo will forgive you this time, but if there's no candy tomorrow, Lord Lambo will never talk to you again!"

Holding the child in her arms even tighter, Totsuka looked at Reborn, "Reborn, whose battle is this?"

"Tatara, you're here too?" Yamamoto Takeshi, snapping out of his daze, scratched his head and grinned broadly. "I heard you went on vacation, I didn't expect you to be back so soon."

Totsuka nodded. "I just didn't expect something to happen here. Isn't Varia a member of the Vongola? Why is he also going to compete with Tsuna for the position of boss?"

"Looks like Iemitsu told you everything." Reborn glanced at Lambo, who was soundly asleep in Totsuka's arms. "This is the battle of the Lightning Guardians, and Lambo is the one to fight."

"Lambo?" Totsuka looked at the child in his arms who had already started blowing snot bubbles, and his lips twitched. "How can we let Lambo go? I heard from Sawada's father that Varia is an assassination squad. Can I replace Lambo in this battle?"

"Wait a minute..." Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the two of them, his face twitching. "Why would my dad tell you these things, Tatara?!"

Reborn launched a flying kick at Tsuna, saying, "Idiot Tsuna, why are you still worrying about such a small thing at a time like this?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi covered his face and muttered, "This is no small matter!" But when he saw Reborn's eyes, he immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.

“If you, Tatara, hadn’t come, then I’d have had to go,” Reborn chuckled. “But now that you’re here, there’s no need to send I’ll go.”

Totsuka breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the child who was sleeping soundly in his arms. At five years old, the child was still at the age where he could only play. Even though Lambo was Tsuna's Lightning Guardian, he couldn't be expected to shoulder this responsibility yet.

The battle for Thunder Guard was held on the highest platform of the school. As Totsuka and his group went upstairs, they explained the current situation, and Totsuka also introduced Diarmuid to the group.

"Master, I can fight in this battle!" Diarmuid disagreed when he heard that Totsuka wanted to fight. He was Totsuka's Servant, but he couldn't fight for him, which made him feel that he couldn't help the boy.

“Ring battles require guardians of the corresponding element to fight, right?” Totsuka looked at Reborn. “As an outsider, I don’t even have the lightning attribute. Does the opposing guardian agree to replace me?”

Reborn's dark eyes stared directly at him. "Totsuka, you were originally a member of the Vongola. There's information about you in Cerberus, so it's understandable that you participated in the Ring Battle. But your friend... well, that won't do."

Diarmuid frowned deeply this time as well. The lightning outside the window during the thunderstorm was too strong, which made Diarmuid unable to settle down.

"Tatara, although I don't know how many amazing abilities you have, you must be careful." Yamamoto Takeshi's smile remained unchanged, but his voice turned serious. "We've already given you special training, but you've come straight into battle..."

"Idiot shoulder blade, Lord Totsuka will definitely be alright!" Gokudera Hayato glared fiercely at Yamamoto Takeshi, then looked at Totsuka with teary eyes, "Lord Totsuka, please be careful!"

"Haha." Totsuka took their concern to heart and pushed open the door to the top floor room. "I'll see what the people of Varia are really like."

"What's that on the roof?!" Tsuna exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the setup on the platform. Huge lightning rods stood on the rooftop platform, and the area between them was the location of tonight's battle.

The mysterious organization Cerberus has always existed as the fairest referee. When Tsuna and his group arrived, it began to explain, "Tonight's battle arena is the most suitable lightning rod area for the Lightning Guardians. We will name it the Electric Arena."

When lightning strikes during a rainstorm, the lightning rod conducts the current into the area, filling the battle zone with a powerful electric current.

"In this electric arena, the ground is paved with special steel wires that have excellent conductivity." The referees, Cerberus, are two identical women with purple hair, dark skin, and black eye patches. "This structure can amplify the power of lightning strikes on a lightning rod several times over."

Totsuka nodded as if he had been taught something. "No wonder the current was so strong. It turns out there was a steel wire."

"Now is not the time to study the principles!" Sawada Tsunayoshi stared wide-eyed at the area. "Just standing in there would turn you into a charred corpse!"

Hayato Gokudera's expression also darkened, and he clenched his fists, saying, "Those guys knew there would be thunderstorms today, so they deliberately arranged this battle!"

"Master, this is far too dangerous." Diarmuid shook his head, trying to dissuade the boy from making his decision.

Totsuka reached out and patted Diarmuid on the shoulder, smiling. "Diarmuid, you'll definitely have your chance to play in the future, but this time it's not going to happen. Sometimes you have to trust me a little more."

Diarmuid stared silently at the boy, and finally could only nod. Under the boy's gaze, probably no one would not yield to him.

Tsuna then took the Lightning Guardian Ring from Lambo and had Totsuka wear it.

“Guardian of Thunder, please come to the center,” Cerberus said calmly. “Your opponent has been waiting for you for two hours.”

"That guy is really punctual." Totsuka looked at the person standing on the other side. The person with spiky hair, a fierce face, and carrying countless strange weapons on his back should be the Thunder Guardian of Varia.

Just as Cerberus summoned the Guardians of Lightning, Totsuka noticed several people descending from the sky on the other side. A giant robot held a hooded baby in its arms, and beside it stood a boy with light blond hair wearing a crown. His hair was so long that it completely obscured his eyes, making Totsuka wonder if he could even see clearly. Also standing nearby was a man with long white hair, who looked quite refined.

“Cherbello, the guardian we’ve sent here is Totsuka Tatara,” Reborn said first, gesturing for Totsuka to throw down the stupid bull he was carrying.

After Totsuka handed Lambo to Tsuna, he heard Cerberus say, "Totsuka Tatara, huh? As a special member of the Vongola, it makes sense for him to participate in this battle."

Totsuka blinked. Was he, an outsider advisor with no real power, considered a special person in the Vongola? In any case, since the referee had given his permission, Totsuka set up another barrier around himself and stepped into the area of ​​lightning.

"I can't believe I've actually seen a real person." The baby floated up in the sky and asked the boy below, "Are you Randy?"

“I thought you would know about Varia’s information,” Reborn answered directly for Totsuka. “Viper, Totsuka is one of us.”

“Of course I know.” The hooded baby hummed softly and landed in the robot’s hand. “My name is Mammon now, but I just think it might be better for Randy to come to our Varia… Someone as famous as him should be able to make a lot of money.”

"Still as greedy as ever." Reborn smirked slightly. "It's a pity he won't go with you."

“That’s right!” Gokudera Hayato shouted as well, “Lord Totsuka will absolutely not be taken away by people like you!”

"Hehehe... Mammon, you got rejected." The light blond boy standing next to the baby let out a sharp laugh, revealing a set of pearly white teeth. "Just have that brooding pervert bring that guy to you. I'm such a genius, Prince!"

The man who had already entered immediately looked up and shouted at his group, "Bell, who are you calling a repressed pervert!"

Standing in the arena watching this unfold, Totsuka suddenly realized that Varia seemed to have quite a few eccentric characters, which was rather interesting. Moreover, the baby had an indigo pacifier around its neck, suggesting a connection to Reborn.

"I don't know why Dad told you these things to Tatara," Sawada Tsunayoshi called out from outside, "but please, nothing bad should happen to you!"

Totsuka made an OK sign and looked at his opponent.

"Now, the battle for the Ring of Thunder—Leveltan versus Totsuka Tatara—begins." Cerbero announced the start of the match after both sides had entered the arena.

“What a peculiar scene,” Mammon remarked with a touch of awe. “Levy and Randy standing together are quite a sight to behold.”

"Hehehe...you mean Levi isn't photogenic?" Belphegor laughed strangely again, looked down, and then nodded thoughtfully. "Sure enough, apart from me, Prince, that papaya-faced guy is definitely not photogenic."

Leverton, who overheard the conversation, wore a stern expression of helplessness. Looking at the boy opposite him, he immediately said, "No matter who you are, I will absolutely not hold back in this match!"

Totsuka shrugged and moved around the area with ease. "You can make your move now."

As another bolt of lightning struck from the sky, the conductive steel wire on the ground began to emit a strong electric shock. Levertan jumped up, avoiding the lightning. Shishu spun around on the steel wire, its intense white light crackling, but it had no effect on Shishu whatsoever.

"Such a powerful current, yet it has no effect at all?" Levi frowned, and his gaze toward the boy became more serious.

"It's just a very simple principle," Totsuka explained with a light laugh. "Since steel wire is a conductor, as long as I have an insulator covering my body, the current will naturally have no effect on me."

"Lord Totsuka is so clever!" Gokudera Hayato stared intently at Totsuka, then clapped his hands. "No wonder..."

Tsuna hadn't even realized what was happening yet; the lightning bolt had startled him, and he was terrified to see Totsuka lying on the ground. "What on earth happened?"

"Tenth Generation, what do you think of Lord Totsuka?" Gokudera Hayato pointed at Totsuka standing in the arena, his eyes becoming even brighter.

Sawada Tsunayoshi stared intently at Totsuka, scrutinizing him. The boy was as handsome as ever, with a wonderful aura around him, and his clothes were neat and dry... wait, dry!

After Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at Gokudera, Gokudera Hayato immediately nodded and said, "That's right. Before Totsuka-sama met us, he didn't get wet at all. This means that there is a membrane on Totsuka-sama that blocked the raindrops from the outside, and this membrane also acts as an insulator, blocking the current."

"That's a barrier." Diarmuid, who was following Totsuka, also learned about most of his Master's abilities. Although the boy did not have a powerful main attack method, many of his abilities were very practical. At least in terms of protecting himself, he had no problem.

"A barrier!" Gokudera Hayato's eyes lit up even more. "Could it be one of those Onmyojutsu techniques?"

“Master is indeed an Onmyoji,” Diarmuid replied, even though he only knew a little about it.

"Amazing!" Gokudera Hayato's cheeks flushed with ecstasy as he murmured to himself, "This is truly an incredible ability. It seems that yokai, monsters, and aliens really do exist in this world..."

“That’s really foul,” Mammon said, a smirk playing on his lips. “But I’m getting more and more interested.”

"Hehehe... Levi must be really troubled now." Belphegor looked completely gloating. "If he can't win, the BOSS will be angry."

Upon hearing the word "BOSS," Leveltan's aura suddenly surged. "I've worked so hard to earn the BOSS's trust, and I absolutely, absolutely will not lose!"

Totsuka saw the man named Levi draw his weapon from behind him—an umbrella crackling with lightning? He simply tilted his head and dodged the attack by turning his body to the side.

"If you weren't fast enough, you wouldn't have been able to hit me with that lightning at all," Totsuka said casually as he dodged the attacks.

"It seems Levi has been completely played for a fool." Mammon laughed, seemingly not caring much about his teammate.

The long-haired white man, who had been silent until now, looked down at the situation and immediately shouted, "Hey! Levi, shouldn't you be taking this seriously?"

Levi stopped and frowned. "In that case..." He crossed his arms and released all eight weapons behind him. "Levi, electric umbrella!"

When the eight umbrellas were placed in the air, they immediately opened, and the conductive parts all pointed towards the ten beams. When the lightning struck from the sky, the current collected by the eight umbrellas increased exponentially.

Shizuku dared not be careless; he wasn't sure how strong the current was, even with his barrier. If the barrier were breached, he would definitely be electrocuted!

"Whoa, lightning flashes!" Lambo, awakened by the loud noise of the thunder, rubbed his eyes and immediately looked towards the arena. When he saw Totsuka surrounded by lightning, he shouted, "Totsuka! Lambo-sama is here to help you!"

"Lamb!" Sawada Tsunayoshi didn't have time to hug him before Lamb kicked him and saw Lamb running towards the field. "You can't go in!"

"You idiot!" Gokudera Hayato rushed over and pulled Lambo down as he tried to pounce. "Who is Lord Totsuka fighting for? Are you going to cause trouble, you idiot!"

"Be patient!" After falling to the ground and hurting himself, Lambo immediately burst into tears, "Waaaaah, Lambo-sama, please help! Lambo-sama is the best!"

From Lambo's fluffy head, a purple rocket launcher flew directly into the arena and enveloped Totara, who was under the lightning.

Chapter 97094 Ten Years of Rocket Cannons

After a cloud of smoke, the person who appeared made everyone's eyes widen. Could that outfit and attire really be Totsuka from ten years in the future?

Even the usually composed Reborn began to have some doubts. However, when the lightning struck, the person in the lightning zone didn't even dodge. After the dazzling white flash, they were completely unharmed.

"Is that really Tatara?" Sawada Tsunayoshi exclaimed in astonishment, pointing to the figure that seemed too ethereal to a human.

"Could it be that someone has replaced Tatara in the competition?" Yamamoto Takeshi rubbed his chin, voicing the possibility he had in mind.

The person wearing a light purple kimono and a peony and deer antler mask slightly removed the mask from their face, revealing a smile on their delicate features. They looked at everyone present and said in a soft and charming voice, "So it's this time of year. Everyone from ten years ago was so youthful!"

Upon seeing the face beneath the mask, Sawada Tsunayoshi's face immediately flushed red. "Tatara, it really is you!" Ten years later, Totsuka was still slender, and had grown a bit taller. Dressed in such finery, she appeared extremely beautiful, her aura still as approachable and natural as ever. However, she looked as if she had stepped right out of a magazine, too perfect.

"Lord Totsuka." Gokudera Hayato's eyes were completely glazed over, and he was muttering something unintelligible, but the blush on his face had not faded.
