He drew a black-sheathed sword from the scabbard on his back—an enhanced Murasame, a weapon given to him by Natsuki, imbued with mental attack capabilities.

I've been using it for so many years, and it's incredibly convenient.

Only such a fine knife could be worthy of such a grand ending.

"It's a pity I can't go back and drink with you, but no matter what, I don't regret coming here."

He spoke softly and smiled silently.

His blood boiled and exploded in an instant, far exceeding the critical bloodline. He had become a true S-rank, capable of dealing with the Dragon King's S-rank!

"God! Come! It's time for us to settle our score!"

He glared like a fierce Vajra and roared like a lion.

He leaped into the sea, its flames churning, his twin blades tracing a chilling arc as they fell upon the god and his small boat.

At that moment, the god raised his head from under his cloak and let out a mocking laugh.

It seemed to mock his overestimation of his abilities, and also to ridicule his fate—a fate that Odin could change at will…

Chapter 352 Chu Zihang Disappears

"Xia Mu! Xia Mu! Do you remember your senior brother?! They all say I'm crazy!"

Xia Mu soon received a call from Lu Mingfei, along with a request from Masafumi Fukuyama, a psychology professor at Kassel College, who hoped that he could guide Lu Mingfei and prevent their S-class from completely collapsing.

"Which senior brother are you talking about? Caesar? Or Abbas?" Xia Mu smiled.

"Screw Abbas! How come you even know about Abbas!" Lu Mingfei cursed directly.

Xia Mu chuckled: "I roughly know what happened. Nobody in the whole world knows Chu Zihang except you, right?"

Lu Mingfei responded with a somewhat dejected and hesitant "hmm".

Xia Mu could almost picture him looking like a stray dog.

"It's nothing serious, don't be afraid. I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow, and we'll have a good talk when we get there," Xia Mu said.

Lu Mingfei perked up: "I can come over today."

“No, what you need to do today is to complete the temporary leave of absence procedures, especially tonight. You must stay in the academy and don’t run away on your own,” Xia Mu said meaningfully. “Be careful, or your academy might issue a warrant for your arrest.”

"I don't steal, rob, or do anything wrong, why are you issuing a warrant for my arrest..."

Lu Mingfei muttered something to himself, but his mood improved considerably, as if he had found his pillar of support.

"If you're still feeling anxious, you can ask for change to help you calm down. Girls can offer you the most support in times like these."

“Zero? She applied to intern at the Russian branch as soon as the semester started this year…” Lu Mingfei said dejectedly.

No wonder you seem so lost.

Xia Mu laughed heartily, "It's alright, leave it to me. Go get some sleep, and get ready to come to Tokyo tomorrow."

Lu Mingfei breathed a big sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed.

Perhaps it was because Xia Mu rescued him from the very beginning that he felt at ease as long as Xia Mu was around.

"By the way, can I bring Senior Sister Susie along too?" Lu Mingfei suddenly asked.

Xia Mu was taken aback: "What... happened to her? Is she like you?"

"Uh, it's not quite the same," Lu Mingfei scratched his head, "She seems eager to see you because she's in a bad mood and needs you to comfort her..."

"Wait a minute, why is she asking me for advice when she's in a bad mood?" Xia Mu sensed something was wrong.

Lu Mingfei's tone was strange: "She said you're her boyfriend..."

Xia Mu: "..."

“When did you start hooking up with Senior Sister Su Xi behind your senior brother’s back? This is so unfair to your senior brother…” Lu Mingfei said.

"I didn't flirt with her!"

Xia Mu hung up the phone in anger, "Bring her over tomorrow!"

"This is absurd! There's something wrong with the logic of this parallel world, isn't there? How could I possibly be with Susie…?"

"Who knows? Maybe something special happened between you and her at the academy in her memory. Wasn't she on good terms with Erii back then? Perhaps she ended up getting herself involved in this while trying to help Erii fight against me?" Xia Mi's voice rang out.

Xia Mu: "..."

"Luckily you weren't affected, otherwise it would have been hard to explain." He breathed a sigh of relief.

“I’m in your ocean of consciousness, so of course I won’t be affected,” Xia Mi said with a grin. “Shouldn’t you feel regretful? If I had been affected, maybe I would be logically consistent now, and Erii and I would have accepted her, and even she herself would think so.”

Xia Mu's forehead was covered in sweat: "I've already taken one from my senior brother, I can't take a second one!"

"what?"

Xia Mi was baffled.

"N-nothing..."

Xia Mu's expression gradually calmed down. "Let me think carefully about what's going to happen next, how much has changed because of me, and what influence I can have, like with Caesar... If possible, it's better to avoid going out of character."

"What will he become?" Xia Mi asked.

Xia Mu stroked the cat: "After he took over as the head of the Gattuso family, he began to take on the responsibilities of a school board member. Although he is still just as proud, he will do the right thing. He no longer stands unconditionally by his friends' side, and he is no longer a cute, immature teenager."

"People always grow up," Xia Mi said nonchalantly.

Xia Mu chuckled softly: "If possible, I hope everyone never grows up and is never forced to take on those responsibilities. I hope they can remain innocent and passionate about the world instead of having to do what is considered right."

Xia Mi sighed: "That's a fairy tale."

Xia Mu blinked: "I originally hoped that the ending of this world would be a fairy tale."

Xia Mi, who had transformed into a kitten, jumped off him and stretched lazily like a cat: "Then good luck."

“You have to help me,” Xia Mu said matter-of-factly.

The cat turned its head, its big eyes looking at him adorably, and slowly revealed a bright, anthropomorphic smile.

"Okay! I'll help you!"

the next day.

The elders gathered once again at Kassel College.

Angers was once again placed inside the emergency pod…

"His heart was almost completely ripped open, but fortunately, he was rescued in time and a cardiopulmonary bypass device was used to replace his heart. However, it is still too early to say that the rescue was successful; he is half-dead."

The Secret Service member who was in charge of suturing the heart and was known as the "father of cardiac surgery" said this... well, this is the second time he's come for a diagnosis.

“At least half of his life is still in your hands,” Professor Schneider, the executive director, said sincerely.

“No, the other half of his life was in his own hands. The reason he survived in this situation was because of the vengeful fire in his heart,” the doctor said with a sigh. “If it were anyone else, even if I were there to treat them immediately, they would be in their funeral by now.”

This is the second time he has come to this conclusion.

The meeting began once again to review and discuss everything that had happened, but this time it was no longer Beowulf who was chairing the meeting, but the great Flamel mentor... the old stallion vice principal.

"The opponent clearly also used Time Zero, otherwise it would be impossible for them to be faster than Angers. Unfortunately, we can't find any clues, and there is currently no record of a second user of Time Zero," Mr. Turing said.

Everyone looked somber, except…

“If the principal really passes away, it will be my turn, right? Then no one will be able to stop me from proposing to hold the Kassel College Women’s Nude Swimming Championship.”

The vice-principal pulled a small silver canister of whiskey from behind his back, took a sip, and gazed at the ceiling, his expression distant. "I was actually a little bit looking forward to it... but then I thought about how Angers might never wake up again, and with no one to watch the girls bobbing in the blue water with, it doesn't seem that interesting..."

"Hey, I can watch it with you! We have similar interests, which really excites me!"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the conference room, sounding unusually strange and relaxed, completely out of place with the atmosphere.

The elders looked around but couldn't find anyone.

"Stop looking, your secretary won't let me in," came Pompeii Gattuso's voice.

EVA lowered her eyes and waved her hand expressionlessly.

Above an empty seat, a beam of shimmering blue light shines down, and inside the beam sits a man wearing only white swimming trunks, his chest and abdominal muscles clearly defined. Countless slender hands are touching his entire body, or rather, applying sunscreen to him.

Pompeii held up his juice glass, "Finally in! Long time no see, everyone!"

Bosses: "..."

Chapter 353 Chu Zihang's Message

"Pompeii, are you here to attend a meeting?" an elder roared.

“My dear old friend Angers isn’t dead yet, is he?” Pompeii sounded a little aggrieved. “I promise I’ll wear a black suit to the funeral…”

The vice principal raised his glass: "When he dies, we'll hold a grand celebration together."

Pompeii snapped his fingers: "Cheers!"

"Professor Flamel!"

A chorus of angry shouts erupted in the conference room.

"Alright, alright, everyone, let's get back to the main topic. The principal is dying, the dragon bones have been stolen, and the perpetrator used Time Zero. Besides that, are there any other clues?" Mr. Turing smoothed things over.

The elders remained silent.

"Tell me, have you considered where their next target might be?" Pompeii's leisurely voice came from behind.

The elders were taken aback, then suddenly remembered something, and their expressions changed drastically.

"The dragon skeleton kept in the academy is the dragon skeleton of the Dragon King Constantine, while the dragon skeleton of the Dragon King Norton is kept in the hands of the Gattuso family according to the resolution of the Board of Trustees."

Pompeii said, "If the other party wants the dragon bones so much, he has no reason not to covet the dragon bones in my house. Frost is currently transporting the dragon bones to the underground vault of the Bank of Rome."

He pulled out his phone and dialed with a smug look on his face, "Hey! Frost, my dear brother, where are you?"

A new projection appeared above the table, seemingly inside a tiny, enclosed space where the space was shaking and figures were flickering.

An alarm suddenly sounded in the conference room, and the elders abruptly stood up, their golden pupils suppressing the blue light projected on the screen.

The bulletproof elevator where Frost was located was surrounded by flashing red light. The intrusion was taking place on the other side of the world. Someone had broken into the underground vault of the Bank of Rome!
