With the ability to transform, I am a judge.

With a slight change in expression, Yang Li scanned Shiori from head to toe with the look of someone who was an idiot, and confirmed that this guy was having a fit of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

PS: 1. This is the second update today.

2. Successfully obtained the Divine Key 'Heavenfire Greatsword', it looks alright, but to be honest, its appearance isn't as cool as 'Obliteration'...

Is the image of Tianhuo committing suicide based on this Tianhuo Greatsword?

Chapter 654, Section 617: Illusion

Chapter 654: Phantom

Seeing the blue-haired girl's expectant eyes so close to his face, Yang Li pursed his lips, then pulled down his sun hat, finally covering his face with the photo again, completely ignoring Shiori's gradually petrifying expression.

With his eyes closed, Yang Li pondered quietly. The current situation was stable but also becoming increasingly strange. If he didn't do something soon, he would likely be in a very passive position.

If the situation is right, Nyarlathotep probably wouldn't mind killing her, forcing her to break the seal, and completely destroying her plans. Given that guy's twisted sense of humor, he might very well do that, and sometimes tragedy can also have a great stage effect.

Having replaced Itsuka Shido as the chosen one of this world, she may experience some of the fate that belonged to Itsuka Shido, struggling in an unknown vortex. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it... cough cough, it's really frustrating.

The situation in the world line is still unclear, and Shiori Takamiya is different from the one she had met before. She is obviously a few years younger and is in a form that is somewhere between a loli and a young girl. It seems that she is still on the verge of expiration.

What else will happen? Yang Li remained filled with intense anticipation...

"Um, I'm sorry to bother you."

Seeing that she was being ignored and feeling rebuffed, Shiori turned and left, heading towards the children's pool area on the other side, where Mana was still waiting for her to return with ice cream.

As the long blue hair receded into the distance, the surroundings quieted down again, and steady breathing began to penetrate the photograph, spreading to an area of ​​less than half a meter around it.

Kotori and Icarus were playing in the children's area. With Icarus protecting her, Yang Li could also sleep peacefully for a while, killing two birds with one stone.

……

The sun outside the venue grew dim, and Yang Li, who had finally woken up, twitched the ahoge on her head, as if she had stretched.

*Gurgle!*

"I'm hungry, and my appetite is getting more and more outrageous."

In a sense, Yang Li doesn't need to eat; she can survive simply by absorbing free energy from the air. Currently, she's a foodie. The reason I say "currently" is because she wasn't a big eater before.

At least before she acquired King Arthur's ahoge (cowlick) and Intuition, she wasn't such a big eater...

He touched his chest; the spirit crystal was still intact inside him, and his connection with Tianxiang was still there, but the girl was not in the present world, but in the neighboring world.

Not only that, but she also couldn't get a response when she used the spirit crystal to call for Tianxiang. It's highly likely that Tianxiang is currently sealed, just like she was before.

"Troublesome... It's more cost-effective to go to a buffet."

Adhering to the principle that one should not waste money, she would occasionally think of the poor days she had in the past and begin to restrain herself.

The significant increase in her appetite has accelerated the recovery speed of her 'Godslayer Curse Power', but it has also increased her financial burden. At this point, a cheap, filling, and affordable buffet is naturally the best choice.

Yang Li casually tossed aside the photo album in her hand, activated 'cognitive interference', leaped high into the air, and ran towards the distant slide, eventually reaching a higher position.

After observing Icarus and Kotori's location, Yang Li immediately used his spiritual power to disguise himself and decisively slipped away from the venue, intending to eat until he was about 80% full first.

To this day, Kotori is still unaware of her gluttonous abilities. She has been hiding this for a long time, and her skillful technique has never failed her, after all, Kotori is just an ordinary young girl.

After leaving the seaside park, Yang Li turned right and ran for several kilometers before finally stopping in front of a small alley. Her slightly cold gaze turned to the shadowy corner of the alley.

"Come out."

The air was eerily quiet. The sky, which was already close to nightfall, darkened completely. A large rain cloud drifted overhead, and then a light rain began to patter down.

The weather forecast predicted rain today, at most moderate rain, but it's still quite unbelievable that it happened under these circumstances.

【—The tenth spirit, nice to meet you.】

The sound that rang in my ears was puzzling, indistinguishable between male and female and accompanied by noise; it was something whose true nature I did not know.

It can only be described as "[something]". You can clearly recognize the existence of that thing, but you can't see its actual appearance. Even your perception seems to be wrong, and you can't detect what it is.

Is the resolution too low? It even feels like it's covered by a mosaic, as if the other party shouldn't exist in this world, with raindrops passing through that mosaic.

Yang Li had seen this enigmatic thing before, and had even shattered its outer shell with his own hands, witnessing the truth buried within.

"Mio."

"—I am not… Perhaps I could be said to have a deep connection with that Primordial Spirit, but I am definitely not that one."

As if troubled, the strange voice, neither male nor female, sounded somewhat helpless. If it weren't for the unknown ability masking it, Yang Li felt she might even have seen the person scratching their head.

"Then what exactly are you?"

The question was not what, but who, because Yang Li was very suspicious of this person's identity—whether it was an elf or something else entirely.

Having experienced Nyarlathotep's arrival, she wouldn't be surprised if anything else came into the world, since the world had already become somewhat strange because of these outsiders.

As if sensing Yang Li's wariness and doubt, [something] seemed to find it quite amusing and let out a chuckle, causing Yang Li to frown slightly.

"What I am is unimportant; you can call me... Phantom. I've come to see you out of mere curiosity, and openly, I don't want anyone to be sneaky... What is it about you that makes that Primordial Spirit so interested?"

Stepping forward slowly, seemingly unconcerned about Yang Li's apparent identity as an elf, Phantom approached directly and began to observe him closely, her gaze sweeping over him with exceptional care from head to toe.

Her expression grew increasingly impatient. She had initially thought that Mio had come to her door to do something, but judging from the current situation, the other party was not Mio, and she might not even know this guy.

After thinking it over for a moment, Yang Li turned and left without any intention of delaying any longer.

Hey! Wait a minute, I want to take a picture too!

A brand new white cell phone was pulled out; it was the only thing on Phantom's body that wasn't covered by a mosaic, and it looked like a piece of gold was holding the phone...

With a slight narrowing of her eyes, Yang Li turned her head slightly, and everything in her field of vision began to be covered in gray, even the leaflets blown by the wind in the air were frozen in place.

Yang Li turned around completely, took a few steps forward, and then gently tapped the mosaic shell that concealed her identity.

bang.

The eerie, chaotic message shattered, and the pink-haired, red-eyed girl with a smile was frozen in place, her finger poised to press the button to take a picture.

Without much hesitation, following his instincts, Yang Li lifted the girl's skirt and grabbed her wrist, making her panties the subject of his phone's photo.

She wasn't interested in this girl she'd never met before, so she didn't take the opportunity to look under the girl's skirt, even though the girl was very pretty.

After pressing the button, Yang Li quickly left, snapping her fingers crisply.

"Huh? Where is everyone...?"

PS: 1. This is the first update today.

Chapter 655, Section 618: The Great Fire That Sweeps Through Sky City

Chapter 655: The Great Fire That Sweeps Through Sky City

On a bench by the street, a girl sat there blankly, clutching her skirt. Her lifeless eyes revealed a sense of desolation; she had just been tricked.

The phone still contained evidence of that person's crimes, a picture filled with pale purple. She had been trying to figure out what was going on in that picture for almost an hour.

When did the tenth spirit disappear from sight? And when did the position of her hand change so drastically?

"Ugh, a huge failure."

With her body lowered and hands wrapped around her knees, Rinne Sonogami's expression was quite heartbreaking, after all, such a beautiful girl could always arouse men's pathetic desires.

However, before the two passing thugs could even get close, a strange pressure bound them to their spot, and the space divided by black and white completely swallowed them up, leaving no trace.

The angel of rules stripped the two delinquents naked and threw them at the police station entrance. Rinne Sonogami calmly left.

She had to avenge being bullied by unknown means, but she was unlikely to be able to beat that woman, so she could only think of other ways, such as targeting the girls around her.

After passing through a space shortened by a neighborhood boundary, the girl, now covered again by a mosaic shell, arrived at the famous Sea Paradise in Tiangong City. In front of her was a red-haired girl with twin ponytails.

Do you crave power?

"Huh? Power?"

The eerie scene startled Kotori, but with Icarus and her sister not around, she instinctively took a step back, revealing her somewhat cowardly nature.

Rinne Sonogami subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this girl named Kotori Itsuka was not as monstrous in strength as her older sister.

Abilities are either space or time. Even if that girl isn't as powerful as Mio, she's still far stronger than the average elf.

[—That's right, power... can help you overcome your cowardice and make your Onai-chan fall in love with your power.]

"Make Onai-chan fall in love with me?...Eek~"

For some unknown reason, Kotori's cheeks suddenly flushed bright red, and white steam even rose from her forehead, causing the white hair ribbons she used to tie her hair to tremble up and down.

Rinne Sonogami across from her narrowed her beautiful eyes, wondering to herself, "Are kids these days so precocious?"

Regarding this girl named Kotori Itsuka, if the information is correct, she is probably only 9 years old this year...

? ?

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, her contempt for Yang Li who had already left. How could he have molded such a soft-hearted younger sister into his own shape? His heart was truly despicable!

Because of the panty photo incident, Rinne Sonogami, who didn't have a high opinion of Yang Li, started imagining all sorts of outrageous things, like sister-sister relationships.

"Aren't you worried? You'll all grow up eventually, and what if one day your Onai-chan gets tired of your weakness and cowardice...?"

! !

Kotori's pupils contracted sharply. Although she thought that her gentle older sister could not possibly hate her, the mere thought of it was already unbearable for her.

Seeing through Kotori's inner weakness at a glance, a snickering sound, neither male nor female, emanated from beneath the mosaic mask, sounding incredibly grating.

At one moment, just as Rinne Sonogami, who had no spirit crystals in her hand, was about to turn and leave after teasing Kotori, a sudden feeling of powerlessness surged through her body, which terrified her.

A bone-chilling cold swept over Rinne Sonogami's entire body, and at the same time, her pupils were covered in blue, and a fiery red crystal floated out.

At the very top of the distant Heavenly Palace Tower, Mio, who had used her remaining tricks to control Mayuri and Rinne Sonogami, looked exhausted but also somewhat excited.

After so much preparation, it's time to get started.

Mayuri went all out to hold off Icarus, while Rinne Sonogami intervened to control Kotori, helping her merge with the spirit crystal.
