Hiruko Kohina pulled two small katanas from the body of one of the Initiators, causing a spray of blood to appear.

She pointed her small katana at the praying mantis.

"Dad, she looks like a praying mantis too! Can I cut her down?"

Her actions angered the Mantis Squad.

Here at the summer solstice, they are taught that the cursed children are all companions and should help each other.

As a result, Hiruko Kohina, who was also a cursed child, killed him without any hesitation.

"Hedgehog, shrimp, let's go!"

Enraged, the mantis drew two small swords from its waist and charged at Hiruko Kagetane along with the hedgehog wielding iron claws and the mantis shrimp with its hands encased in carapace.

I'm going to chop you up!

Seeing that the mantis was ignoring her, Hiruko Kohina grabbed her katana and was about to charge at it.

But a burst of bullets came from the side, forcing her to retreat.

"Your opponent is us!"

The moth spread its wings and flew into the air, firing its submachine gun in bursts.

The spotted dog, wielding a long spear, blocked Hiruko Kohina's path.

Before the mission, Xia Zhi had already informed them about the fighting characteristics of Hiruko Kagetane and Hiruko Kohina.

Hiruko Kagetane possesses a repulsive force field, so he should be dealt with using close-quarters combat with strong attack or thrusting abilities.

Hiruko Kohina is agile, but her attack range is limited, making her suitable for ranged attacks.

Hiruko Kagetane took out his specially made pistol, which was fitted with a military dagger, and fired at the mantis.

Boom!

Dang Dang!

The mantis's eyes turned into red compound eyes, greatly enhancing its perception. It used its katana to deflect Hiruko Kagetane's bullets.

The hedgehog raised its iron claws and approached Hiruko Kagetane. He immediately reached out and used his repulsive force domain.

"The most intense pain!"

boom!

It was as if an invisible hammer was hitting the hedgehog.

The hedgehog's small body was thrown far away, crashing heavily into the wall and knocking down many pebbles.

But the hedgehog quickly got up.

From her already torn clothes, one can see that a patch of spiky, hard skin has grown on her back, greatly enhancing her defensive capabilities.

Meanwhile, the mantis shrimp used this opportunity to approach Hiruko Kagetane, who had become very confident after unleashing his repulsive force field.

She raised her little fist and threw two punches at the repulsive force field at an extremely fast speed!

Chapter 233 Scorpio

The mantis shrimp's fist can strike in a fraction of a second, and in the hands of the cursed child, it unleashes a terrifying power comparable to the Zero Form of the Heavenly Child's Drawing Sword Technique!

The cost was multiple fractures in both fists.

However, mantis shrimp, as arthropods, are capable of regenerating severed limbs.

Given Gastrea's rapid recovery ability, this injury is only considered minor.

Boom!

The mantis shrimp punched through Hiruko Kagetane's repulsive force field with two punches, hitting him hard in the face and sending him flying.

Click, click, click!

His mask fell in large pieces in mid-air, and his body slammed heavily against the wall behind him.

With a loud crash, the entire wall collapsed.

"father!"

Seeing Hiruko Kagetane severely injured, Hiruko Kohina cried out and tried to run over.

"I won't let you pass!"

The flower dog stabbed Hiruko Kohina in the thigh with a gun, but unexpectedly, she didn't even try to dodge.

With a soft thud, the dog's spear pierced Hiruko Kohina's fair thigh, drawing out bright red blood.

However, at the same time, the flower dog also entered Hiruko Kohina's attack range.

With a fierce expression, Hiruko Kohina gripped the small black katana in her hand and swung it fiercely at the flower dog.

"what?"

The dog quickly took two steps back to avoid the knife.

Dragging one leg, Hiruko Kohina ran to Hiruko Kagetane's side, bleeding profusely.

She dropped her weapon, tears streaming down her face, and pushed his body away.

"Dad, Daddy!"

Hedgehog scratched his back, somewhat annoyed, as he watched Hiruko Kohina calling for Hiruko Kagetane.

"What? It's like we're the bad guys."

……

Seeing Hiruko Kagetane defeated, many people in the operations room, including the Emperor, breathed a sigh of relief.

They noticed that these cursed children were different from ordinary starters.

Neither the mantis's compound eyes nor the hedgehog's spines are things that ordinary Initiators possess.

"This is a new technology from Sima Heavy Industry, and we're taking it out for testing this time."

Sima Weizhi, who had been invited, opened her folding fan and smiled at everyone.

"Through our training, the cursed children can further master the power of the Gastrea virus within them. However, this technology is still in the experimental stage, and the infection rate of the Gastrea virus in the cursed children is very high. It is still a long way from being officially launched."

In the pursuit of defeating Gastrea, countless horrific and appalling experiments were conducted over the past decade.

This matter concerning Sima Heavy Industry is nothing at all.

Instead, many people were impressed by the power displayed by these cursed children, and expressed their intention to place orders with Sima Heavy Industry once the new technology was launched.

Sima Weizhi smiled and nodded, thinking to herself that by the time the game is officially released, these children will probably all be able to possess the strength of Stage 4.

Xia Zhi, who developed such terrifying technology, is himself a mysterious man.

She didn't believe that what he did was simply to help the cursed child, as he claimed.

……

Hiruko Kagetane, despite taking two punches, did not lose consciousness.

He struggled to his feet from the ruins at Hiruko Kohina's call.

"cough!"

Hiruko Kagetane tried to speak, but coughed up a mouthful of blood first.

Looking down at his own blood, he burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! This feels so good! Pain is proof that I'm alive!"

He glanced at his daughter beside him and said, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

"Hina, they're stronger now. Let's go."

"Yes, Dad!"

Grabbing her two small katana, Hiruko Kohina stood up, completely ignoring the wound on her leg.

"Don't try to escape."

The Mantis Squad surrounded Hiruko Kagetane.

But Hiruko Kagetane pointed to the church behind him.

"Hmph, the legacy of the Seven Stars has already been activated by me, and Scorpio must have arrived by now! Instead of paying attention to me, you might as well go in and take a look!"

"what?"

Hearing him say that, the Mantis Squad was momentarily startled.

But Hiruko Kagetane grabbed Hiruko Kohina and jumped into the river below.

With a splash, the two figures disappeared into the rushing river.

"hateful!"

The mantis cursed angrily and ran into the church.

Since they failed to catch the other person, they won't get the teacher's pat on the head reward either!

Meanwhile, in the operations room, the nominal leader of the Tokyo area, the Holy Emperor, also received intelligence.

"Your Majesty, the medical team's radar has detected a signal resembling Scorpio, which is approaching us!"

……

Near Tokyo Bay, the summer solstice saw the constellation Scorpio.

Scorpios are more inclined towards marine-type Gastrea.

Xia Zhi discovered characteristics of marine animals such as seals, eels, octopuses, and oarfish on it.

He flew to Scorpio and released his Gastrea form.

Scorpio looked up in a daze and saw a huge thing fall from the sky, smashing her into the ocean with a bang!

A large circle of waves spread outwards.

"Fire!"

Inside Tokyo Harbor, all warships launched holmium missiles at Scorpius.

Some missiles hit Scorpio, and some hit Summer Solstice.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Scorpio tilted its head back and let out a painful cry like a dolphin.

Among the pains were the blows from missiles, but even more painful was the sight of Xia Zhi extending countless fleshy tentacles that were eroding her body.

Scorpio also lashed out with its limbs.

After the missile bombardment was completed, Scorpio and Summer Solstice fought each other and sank into the sea.

This gave the medical team some misconceptions.

"we won?"

"Scorpio was taken down?"

But soon, with Scorpio's struggle and Summer Solstice's attack, the rolling seawater surged from the seabed into waves, making the huge warships sway on the sea surface like small boats.

"Scorpio has dived into the ocean!"

The medical team was immediately at a loss.

Attacks on the seabed are nothing more than torpedoes.

But they had plenty of missiles on board, but absolutely no torpedoes!

After all, there are far more Gastrea in the sea than on land. After ten years of war, humanity has essentially given up its marine territories.

Seeing that the medical team was helpless, the Emperor was also at a loss.

“Miss Sima, please bring back the Seven Stars’ legacy first.”

At this moment, on the seabed of Tokyo Bay, the summer solstice is trying to invade the consciousness of Scorpio.

He used methods of flesh-and-blood invasion and pheromones, but Scorpio resisted them all.
