"Bang, bang, bang, bang!"

Kihara's attack was not over yet. Instead, he fired four more shots in quick succession, each bullet piercing one of Mugino Shizuri's limbs. This instantly caused Mugino Shizuri to lose the strength to stand and collapse onto Takitsubo Riko, who was lying on the experimental table.

"Ah!"

Mugino Shizuri screamed in agony, the excruciating pain in her limbs driving her almost insane. The ability-degrading device also prevented her from activating her abilities, and the anger and regret in her heart gnawed at her soul.

If... she could be more decisive, instead of being swayed by her personality...

"Mugino..."

Takitsubo Riko's hoarse, faint voice reached Mugino Shizuri's ears, which jolted her awake. She struggled to look at Takitsubo Riko, who was so close to her, while two streaks of bloody tears streamed down Takitsubo Riko's face.

It's just unclear whether Takitsubo Rigo was crying for herself or for Mugino Shizuri, who was clearly seriously injured.

"Why don't you kill her, that crazy woman? How many of my soldiers did she kill!"

Kihara Kazuta walked step by step toward Mugino Shizuri, pointing the gun at Mugino Shizuri's head, his face contorted in pain, clearly heartbroken by the loss he had just suffered.

Although the hound squad was not considered human life in Kihara Kazuta's mind, but merely a tool to be used and discarded, the destruction of that tool would still cause Kihara Kazuta, the master of that tool, heartache.

"Don't rush, don't rush!"

Kihara Gensei stood by Kane Teitoku's side the whole time, watching Kane Teitoku's chest rise and fall, watching Kane Teitoku's eyelids twitch, and said, "Our creation is about to awaken. At that time, we will definitely need to find a suitable test subject so that Kane Teitoku can practice his abilities, right?"

"I think Mugino Shizuri, as a Level 5, should be a good target."

"Tsk, ptooey!"

Kihara spat. His hound squad had been wiped out and was no longer able to contend with Theristina and Kihara Gensei. Although he was extremely unwilling, he could only watch Mugino Shizuri linger on, unable to bring himself to kill him.

"Next, Theristina, should we find someone to stabilize her injuries?"

Theristina nodded, and was about to call her subordinates when she suddenly heard Mugino Shizuri laugh.

The shrill laughter carried a hint of anger and comfort, but more than anything, it revealed a wild and resolute determination.

"why are you laughing!"

Kihara Kazuta kicked Mugino Shizuri in the waist, causing him to spit out blood and then cough violently.

However, Mugino Shizuri didn't care at all. He struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with a mad light that made Kihara Kazuta shudder and take a step back.

"Takitsubo Rigo, leave now, go there, go to our paradise, where there will be no pain, where we can live freely!"

As soon as Mugino Shizuri finished speaking, Takitsubo Riko, who was already critically injured and on the verge of death with her body about to collapse, disappeared, just like Kinuhata Saiai and Frenda, and returned to Valhalla.

Although Mugino Shizuri arrived late, thankfully she still made it in time.

Although Takitsubo Riko only had her last bit of consciousness left, she trusted Mugino Shizuri very much. Especially now that she roughly understood Mugino Shizuri's desperate efforts to save her, she listened to Mugino Shizuri's every word.

Mugino Shizuri extended an invitation to Takitsubo Riko to become a Heroic Spirit, and Takitsubo Riko immediately accepted. This also means that no matter how severe Takitsubo Riko's current injuries are, she will still recover her health once she returns to the Valhalla.

That was enough; Mugino Shizuri knew he was satisfied once he caught up.

However, saving Takitsubo Risa does not mean the end, but rather that Mugino Shizuri can finally take revenge without restraint, showing her fangs and tearing her enemies to shreds.

The disappearance of Takitsubo Riko also surprised Kihara Kazuta and Theristina, who stared wide-eyed. They had just been wondering what had happened with the disappearance of Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai, and now Takitsubo Riko had also disappeared.

Mugino Shizuri has actually gained spatial abilities?

Moreover, this ability can still be used even under the influence of the ability reduction device?

What is going on here?

Doubts clouded their minds, and a sense of unease grew in their hearts. They had initially thought that Mugino Shizuri was now seriously injured and would have no ability to resist, but it turned out that they were wrong.

"Yui," Mugino Shizuri struggled to apologize to Yui, saying, "I was too excited just now and ignored your warning. You're not angry with me, are you?"

Mugino Shizuri seemed to have calmed down a lot, but this made Yui even more worried. Yui, who could monitor Mugino Shizuri's physical condition, knew that if Mugino Shizuri continued like this, he would die.

"That's a minor matter. Takitsubo Rigo has already been rescued, hasn't she? She's arrived at the Hall of Heroes and is undergoing transformation into a Heroic Spirit. You'll soon see the lively and energetic Takitsubo Rigo again."

"So, Mugino Shizuri, do you want to retreat now? I can pull you back to Valhalla."

Mugino Shizuri shook his head slightly and said, "No, no need. I can't go back now."

"I'm not coming back!"

Yui asked in surprise, "Why aren't you coming back? You're about to..."

"I know, I know very well."

Mugino Shizuri smiled, a hint of blood on his lips, and said, "Precisely because I am about to die, I cannot leave. Because of my mistake, I caused that child so much suffering. How can I not do something to help her get revenge?"

"As for dying once... I really should die once, since I can be reborn in Valhalla anyway. Let me use this death to cleanse my past!"

“Yui,” before Yui could refuse, Mugino Shizuri’s smile grew increasingly sinister, yet filled with a resolute air, and he said, “My brain is affected and I can’t use my abilities. Use quantum light to replace my brain’s processing mode, help me activate my abilities, and destroy the ability-degrading device.”

"Leave the rest to me."

Yui pondered for a moment, then nodded. This was the decision of Mugino Shizuri, a Heroic Spirit, and Yui essentially had no right to interfere. Only Momo could interfere with Mugino Shizuri.

Momo chose to respect Mugino Shizuri's idea.

Just as Kihara Kazuta and Theristina were hesitating about whether to continue attacking the heavily injured Mugino Shizuri, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Mugino Shizuri, who was previously unable to use his abilities, surprisingly activated them again.

In an instant, several beams of light shot out, destroying all the ability-reducing devices in the room. The strange voice in Mugino Shizuri's mind disappeared, and Mugino Shizuri's abilities returned to his body.

Although the intense pain would affect Mugino Shizuri's abilities, he had Yui's help at this time.

"Yui, maximum computing power! I'll make these bastards pay with their lives!"

Mugino Shizuri roared, and Yui immediately followed suit. Kihara Kazuta, realizing something was wrong, tried to fire, but it was too late.

The bullet was fired from the muzzle and aimed at Mugino Shizuri's head. However, the bullet was reduced to ashes by the white light emanating from Mugino Shizuri's head as soon as it left the muzzle.

At this moment, Mugino Shizuri seemed to transform into the sun. She completely abandoned the limitations of her physical output, using all her computing power to unleash her full potential, turning every inch of her skin into a gun barrel that released atomic collapse.

As Mugino Shizuri's body disintegrated into fragments, countless white rays of light instantly engulfed the entire laboratory, as if the sun, which Mugino Shizuri had transformed into, had exploded there.

"May you all go to hell!"

This was Mugino Shizuri's final roar.

249 The Awakening of Emperor Huangen

At the cost of Mugino Shizuri's own destruction, Mugino Shizuri unleashed the full power of atomic collapse.

The atomic collapse, which could already blow away metal and melt walls, and could pierce through enemies and cover, was now unleashed by Mugino Shizuri in a 360-degree, all-encompassing manner, and was devouring everything around it in a frenzied manner.

This was Mugino Shizuri's bitter blow, a release of all the anger, hesitation, and resentment he had been harboring for days.

Just as she said, this attack was not only to kill everyone, but also for Mugino Shizuri to use self-destruction to say goodbye to her past self and accept her identity as a Heroic Spirit with a better mindset.

As for the outcome of his attack, Mugino Shizuri wasn't too concerned, because he had already begun his rebirth process inside Valhalla, and whatever the result, that was Momo's job.

Mugino Shizuri and her Item, along with the other girls, will begin their mission to conquer Valhalla, a task they must complete.

However, in Mugino Shizuri's view, no one could possibly stop her attack. Even the number one, facing Mugino Shizuri with his computing power off the charts with Yui's full support, would surely not be able to withstand Mugino Shizuri's all-out attack at the cost of self-destruction.

In Mugino Shizuri's view, this final, bitter blow was enough to help Momo destroy Kanemoto Teitoku's base, kill the Kihara family members, and eliminate the sleeping Kanemoto Teitoku.

However, as it turns out, Mugino Shizuri was wrong, terribly wrong.

The atomic collapse, which should have emitted radiation from every angle without blind spots, could have destroyed everything within Mugino Shizuri's range. If all went smoothly, everything within a radius of 30 to 50 meters centered on the point where Mugino Shizuri's body collapsed would have vanished, leaving behind a huge crater in the ground.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out that way.

The 360-degree white light, after only radiating a few meters, was guided by another force. The spherical white light no longer radiated in all directions, but instead shot out white light towards the sky, milky white straight up to the horizon.

The damage caused was merely blowing away the roof of the laboratory where Mugino Shizuri had just been, leaving a large hole several meters in diameter, while at the location where Mugino Shizuri activated his ability, a deep pit three meters in diameter was left.

The light gradually faded, and sunlight shone through the large hole in the roof, illuminating the deep pit left by Mugino Shizuri. Mugino Shizuri's body had vanished without a trace, not even a drop of blood remained.

Inside the laboratory, Kihara Kazuta and Theristina were so frightened that they sat down on the ground. The attack they had just witnessed was beyond their comprehension, and Mugino Shizuri's desperate roar had robbed them of all courage.

But now, at least they've survived, and although their teeth are still chattering, reason is slowly returning to their minds.

"Ahem, well done, Emperor Huangen."

Kihara Gensei, his hunched back still, stood rooted to the spot. He coughed a few times, waved his hand in front of his face to clear away the dust, and then looked at the tall, thin boy standing beside him.

Huan Gen was the emperor's supervisor.

Emperor Huangen woke up.

No, whether Emperor Huangen had woken up or not at this point is no longer something outsiders can judge.

At this moment, Emperor Huangen was shrouded in a semi-transparent, armor-like, or perhaps gelatinous substance. His face was deathly pale and expressionless, the whites of his eyes had turned blood red, and his pupils had become a bright gold, with what appeared to be rotating golden triangular prisms within them.

Moreover, behind him, things that looked like tentacles or wings swayed and floated, seemingly ready to support Emperor Huangen and take flight at any moment.

Of course, the most eye-catching feature was the faintly visible ring above Emperor Huangen's head. That ring seemed capable of becoming brighter and turning into a light bulb at any moment, or it seemed capable of disappearing and shattering at any time, leaving no trace.

Kihara Kazuta and Theristina then realized that the person who had just saved them was Kane Teitoku. Judging from Kane Teitoku's current appearance, he had definitely transformed into some unknown and powerful entity, and his power could be seen from how easily they had neutralized Kane Teitoku's attacks.

“You don’t need to judge my actions,” a mechanical voice, echoing with countless other voices, replied to Kihara Gensei. “Everything I’ve done is right, and it will surely succeed.”

Shaking his head and surveying his surroundings, Emperor Huangen looked at the dilapidated laboratory and said, "You guys are really incompetent. You can only provide me with technical assistance. However, you have awakened me, which is a merit. Once I have the status that belongs to me, I will compensate you."

As he spoke, Huan Gendi's hand behind his back trembled, and his toes left the ground, hovering in the air, as if he was about to make a move.

"Wait!"

Kihara Kazuta suddenly shouted, looking at Kane Teitoku, who also met Kihara Kazuta's gaze with his golden pupils. This inhuman gaze made Kihara Kazuta feel a little goosebumps.

What kind of attitude is this?!

Kihara Kazuta continued speaking through gritted teeth, saying, "Do you know that your abilities were given to you by us? And before that, you almost lost consciousness and perished!"

"We are now your saviors, your second parents, and yet you treat us like this? Emperor Huangen, you'd better show us some respect, or you'll be in trouble again, and then no one will be able to save you... Waaah!"

Before Kihara Kazuta could finish speaking, Kane Teitoku raised his hand, and an unknown force grabbed Kihara Kazuta directly. It was as if an invisible hand was squeezing Kihara Kazuta's body, deforming his body and turning his face black. He might be crushed into minced meat in no time.

However, Emperor Huangen did not immediately kill him. Instead, he turned to Kihara Gensei and said, "Kihara Gensei, is this your attitude? You are their leader. Did you intend to deal with me from the very beginning?"

Emperor Huangen's tone was emotionless, yet a chilling pressure pressed down on Kihara Gensei, causing him to collapse to the ground. His aged body made one worry that he might never get up again once he fell.
