A beautiful girl who transmigrates into a Herrscher of the Void is treated like an elf and conquered

Liao Zi clicked her tongue and looked towards the school building as well. "Based on the heat source and the spirit wave reaction, the elf is indeed still inside... Wait! What's that?!"

Liao Zi suddenly raised his voice, which was filled with surprise and doubt:

"The thermal imaging shows that there are at least two... no, three life signs in the vicinity of the area where the Pokémon are located inside the school building! Two of them are very weak, like ordinary people! How is this possible? The evacuation should have ended!"

"Ordinary people?"

Origami's heart sank. She immediately adjusted the observation mode on her faceplate, focusing on the direction of the classroom she knew all too well.

High-precision thermal imaging and Lingbo scanning data were instantly fed back onto her retina.

One of the life forms emitted a strong, unique elven energy wave, undoubtedly targeting the princess.

The other two life signs... the spiritual energy fluctuations were extremely weak, suggesting they might be spirits. And the vital signs and outline of one of them...

(——Shido!)

Origami's pupils contracted sharply. She couldn't mistake that signal! It was Shido! Why was he here?! Shouldn't he have gone to safety?!

An overwhelming fear pierced her heart like an ice pick.

Stray bullets from AST, or even the uncontrollable power of the spirit itself... any accident could instantly kill Shido, who is caught in the middle of it!

Without the slightest hesitation, Origami threw the heavy Gatling gun in her hand to the ground as if it were a hot potato, making a loud "bang".

"Origami?! What are you doing?!" Ryoko exclaimed.

Origami didn't answer. The thrusters on its back unleashed power far exceeding normal output, spewing forth blazing blue flames!

Like a cheetah spotting its prey, she transformed into an arrow released from a bow, charging towards the school building at an almost out-of-control speed!

"boom--!"

The already crumbling classroom walls shattered like paper under the violent impact of the origami, which was imbued with the power of the "Freedom Domain" technique! Gravel and dust scattered everywhere.

Origami's figure broke through the smoke and landed steadily in the center of the classroom. Her gaze, like the most sophisticated radar, instantly swept across the entire room, taking in everything inside:

The target elf, the princess, wielded a massive throne sword and glared at her with wariness and hostility.

Sitting opposite the "Princess," with a look of astonishment and slight confusion on his face, was Itsuka Shido.

Standing a little further away, leaning against the podium, he exuded a chilling aura and an invisible pressure, his golden eyes looking over with a hint of amusement and a condescending scrutiny.

—It's that spirit codenamed "Celestial Judgment"! It's that dangerous being who resembles Chika, but whose aura is completely different!

(All three... are here! Shido is with two spirits!)

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest.

The existence of [Heavenly Judgment] in particular has caused Origami's sense of crisis to soar to its peak.

In the last battle, this elf possessed the power to instantly destroy an industrial area simply by using the shockwave generated by its ability.

In direct combat, she defeated the world's number one magician and number five magician, Eren and Mana, and even crushed several of DEM's airships and armed forces. Her danger level is far greater than that of the newly appeared "Princess"!

She absolutely cannot allow Shido to stay by the side of such a monster!

Almost reflexively, Origami immediately reported to Ryoko via the built-in communicator in the most concise and urgent tone.

At the same time, his gaze was fixed on Qianxia, ​​not daring to look away even for a moment:

"Target spirit [Princess] spotted! Repeat, [Princess] spotted! Also confirmed that codename [Celestial Judge] is present! One civilian is present! Requesting emergency support! Repeat, requesting emergency support!"

Her voice came through the CR-Unit's mask, carrying a cold, metallic quality, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a barely perceptible tremor hidden beneath the extreme calm.

After finishing the report, Zhe held his breath, his muscles tense to the extreme.

She lowered her center of gravity slightly, her right hand already gripping the handle of the melee tactical dagger fixed to her leg armor.

Her gaze was like the sharpest blade, fixed intently on Qianxia.

She was assessing, calculating. She was looking for any possible flaw.

She was waiting for any prelude to a possible attack by [Celestial Judgment].

As long as Chika makes the slightest movement—whether it's raising a finger, a slight change in her eyes, or even the smallest ripple in the space around her—it will be enough to deter her from doing anything.

Origami will unleash all her power without hesitation, even if it means using herself as a shield, to forcibly remove Shido from this dangerous classroom as soon as possible!

The air seemed to freeze. On one side of the classroom stood Origami, an elite member of AST, poised and ready, her killing intent barely contained.

On the other side are Tohka, who is suspicious and wary; Shido, who is panicked and worried; and Chika, who seems lazy and casual but actually controls the entire space.

A confrontation sparked by misunderstanding, responsibility, and the desire to protect quietly reached a critical point in this dilapidated classroom filled with smoke and dust.

Chapter 136 A Graceful Exit, a Gift to the Stage

Chika looked at the stalemate before her, then glanced at Shido, who was sitting on the ground, his eyes darting back and forth between Tohka and Origami, clearly unable to continue their "friendly exchange," and sighed softly in her heart.

(Alright, that's it. With Origami interrupting like this, the main AST team will probably arrive in the next second, and this "anti-entropy recruitment" and "Shido correction" are completely ruined for today. Staying any longer will not only be a hindrance, but may also drag us into even bigger trouble.)

She knew very well that the key to the next step was whether Shido could establish an initial trust and connection with Tohka.

His presence here, as a "cool and dangerous individual," would only make the atmosphere more tense and hinder Shido's actions.

(Fine, I'll leave the stage to you. Tohka, I hope that idiot Shido can seize the opportunity...)

Having made up her mind, Chika didn't linger. She didn't even glance at Origami, who was standing ready for battle.

Ignoring the wary Tohka and the hesitant Shido, she simply turned away indifferently, her long, pale hair drawing a cold arc in the air.

She strode slowly toward the gap in the wall that had been created by the origami.

Outside, the AST members floated in the air, and further away, the faintly visible Fraxinus.

Under everyone's gaze, Chika took a step forward and stepped into the void.

A strange scene unfolded—the space beneath her feet seemed to transform into an invisible mirror, with imperceptible ripples spreading out with each step she took, precisely solidifying and extending.

Forming a series of transparent yet solid steps. She ascended them as if walking on an invisible ladder to heaven, her posture elegant and composed, carrying an innate arrogance that seemed to look down upon all living beings.

Origami gasped for breath.

Although the target, [Tianjue], is moving away from Shido, which is in line with her expectations, the other party's effortless control and spatial manipulation once again made her feel immense pressure and a sense of powerlessness.

She stared intently at Qianxia's back, not daring to relax for a moment.

Confirming that Chinatsu was indeed away from the classroom, Origami immediately seized the brief opportunity, swiftly flying towards the window where Shido was. Through her mask, she hissed in an extremely serious and urgent tone, "Shido! It's too dangerous here! Get out of here!"

Her gaze swept quickly over Shido and Tohka, carrying an undeniable warning, but more so an anxiety stemming from worry.

Having said that, she dared not linger any longer. The thrusters on her back ignited again, propelling her upwards as she joined the other AST members who had arrived, surrounding Chika from a distance.

At this moment, the entire AST temporary command channel was in complete chaos!

"Target confirmed! It's [Celestial Judgment]! Repeat, it's the spirit codenamed [Celestial Judgment]!"

"Attention all units! Highest alert level! Prioritize securing the target [Sky Judgment]!"

"Maintain distance! Repeat, maintain an absolutely safe distance! Do not provoke anyone!"

Panic spread silently among the AST team members.

No one knew better than them how terrifying the elf before them was.

The footage of the devastating battle in the industrial zone last time has already been repeatedly played and analyzed internally.

—That was merely the aftershock of the clash of forces, yet it easily leveled the entire area; in direct combat, she crushed the world's strongest magician, Alan Mathers, and Takamiya Mana, and even the elite airships and supporting armed forces dispatched by DEM were no match for her.

This is an extremely dangerous spirit with absolute power, who clearly lacks goodwill towards the human organization DEM and even the entire human society!

Every time she appears, it could mean a catastrophic conflict.

Therefore, although their mission was to deal with the Princess, when the Celestial Judge appeared and showed hostility, all their firepower and attention were involuntarily drawn to her.

In contrast, the threat level of the "Princess," who was still inside the school building and had not shown any direct aggression, seemed to have been reduced instantly.

All AST members, including Captain Ryoko, gripped their weapons tightly, their display devices operating at full capacity, and their arbitrary domains overlapping and expanding to create layers upon layers of defensive barriers.

They hovered in the air as if facing a formidable enemy, forming a loose encirclement around Chika, who was walking alone in the air. However, none of them dared to fire first, nor did any of them dare to get too close.

Chika seemed oblivious to the tense atmosphere around her. She continued walking upwards at a leisurely pace, the spatial staircase beneath her feet extending as if she were about to step directly into the clouds.

Golden eyes calmly swept over the tense AST team members around him. There was no emotion in his eyes, neither the tension of being surrounded nor the contempt for the enemy, but only a bottomless, chilling indifference.

She was simply carrying out her exit, nothing more. As for these people who were on high alert, in her eyes, they were probably no different from the dust on the roadside.

This absolute calm and arrogance, however, turned into even heavier pressure, weighing on the hearts of every AST member.

At the dilapidated classroom window, Shido stared blankly at the figure who walked step by step into the sky, remaining calm despite being pointed at by countless weapons. He then looked at Tohka beside him, who had relaxed slightly due to the AST's distraction but was still tightly gripping the weapon, and felt a mix of emotions.

(Chika... who exactly are you...?)

He knew he had to make the most of this precious time that Chika had unintentionally created, a time when AST was too preoccupied to pay attention to anything else.

He turned his head and looked at Tohka again, trying to make his voice sound calm and sincere:

"Tohka, shall we... continue our previous conversation?"

Chapter 137 The Throne Above the Void

Step by step.

Chika stepped onto the solidified spatial staircase, as if walking on an invisible divine path, slowly rising to a high place far from the hustle and bustle of the world.

The outline of Tengu City stretched out beneath her feet, becoming small and distant, with the dilapidated school buildings shrinking into an insignificant dot.

She finally stopped, no longer moving upwards. Beneath her, spatial energy naturally gathered and shaped, transforming into an invisible yet solid "throne" sculpted with spatial ripples that were difficult to discern with the naked eye.

She sat down gracefully, leaning back slightly, as if relying on something unseen.

Her long, white hair, like an icefall, was no longer restrained. It flew freely in the turbulent air currents at high altitude, each strand seemingly wrapped with tiny silver snakes of lightning, creating a mysterious resonance with the surrounding space.

She casually crossed her legs, a simple gesture that carried an air of effortless languor and arrogance, as if she were in complete control.

Then, she slightly raised her chin, her golden eyes sweeping indifferently over her surroundings.

Centered on her, the AST team members, like a startled swarm of bees, maintained a cautious, almost humble distance.

They were fully armed, the light from their display devices flickering in the twilight sky, their weapons locked tightly on the seemingly unsuspecting figure in the center.

However, no one dared to take a step forward, no one dared to break the suffocating silence.

Chika's gaze slowly swept over them.

There was no anger, no hatred, and not even the usual contempt in those eyes.

It was a more complete disregard, a huge sense of disparity stemming from the level of life and the essence of power.

It was as if what she saw was not a group of well-trained soldiers carrying advanced weapons, but merely a group of ants busy at her feet, utterly uninteresting to her...

The golden pupils reflected the last rays of the sky, yet they were so cold and devoid of any human warmth, like an ancient, unyielding ice field that could not reflect any image.

This absolute calm was more oppressive than any roar or threat.

"Captain... Captain! What... should we do?"

Over the communication channel, a young team member's voice trembled uncontrollably. Facing this silent pressure was far more nerve-wracking than facing a hail of bullets.

Ryoko Kusakabe bit her lower lip tightly, feeling her throat go dry.

As the team leader, she bore even greater pressure. She stared intently at the high-intensity spiritual wave signal on the monitoring screen, a signal that represented "Divine Judgment" and was terrifyingly stable, her fists clenching and unclenching repeatedly.

"Maintain the current formation and keep the highest level of alert! Do not fire without my order! Repeat, absolutely not!"

She gave the command almost in a low growl, her voice hoarse from tension.

(Why haven't the orders from above been issued yet?!)

Liaozi was extremely anxious. She knew very well that, faced with such an extraordinary being, their AST team wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder.

Attack? That would be tantamount to mass suicide. Protect the people? If this elf were truly enraged, they wouldn't even be able to protect themselves!

(Damn bureaucrats! Do they still think this is a target that can be overwhelmed by sheer numbers?!)

She cursed inwardly. The scene of the industrial zone's destruction was still vivid in her mind; that wasn't a battle, it was a natural disaster! A one-sided crushing defeat!

She had made up her mind.

If the orders above are stupid things like "attack at all costs" or "delay the time," she will disobey immediately!

Retreat with your men! Even if you face a military court-martial afterward, it's better than dying here pointlessly!

At the very least, only by staying alive can we continue to protect this city, and only then... when the future holds out, can we truly do something.
