Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Therefore, the Emperor Flower was able to easily tear apart the CCC barrier created by BB and salvage the old school building that was about to be crushed into pieces.

It is precisely because of this innate restraint that BB is so harsh on this "daughter," even going so far as to lock her in the Fallen Heaven's Cage to restrict her development.

But how could she possibly escape from that spiritual particle trap?

Outside the old school building, BB looked up at the male figure standing on the shoulder of the protea. The gloom on her face vanished, and she immediately broke into a bright smile. Her expression even became a little awkward.

"Is this a punishment game, senior?"

Their eyes met, and Samael, with the protea on his shoulder, smiled brightly and spoke leisurely.

"Hua Hua, beat her up."

"Protea~~ Fist—!"

In an instant, a fist the size of a mountain crashed down amidst excited cheers, causing the churning, snow-white ocean of milk to boil once more.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sexual harassment is absolutely prohibited!

BB stared at the fist that was rapidly expanding in his field of vision, his smile instantly freezing, and he instinctively jumped to the side.

"Boom!"

Like a mountain-like fist, it slammed into the ground, shattering hundreds of neatly lined Sakura machines into pieces, bursting into flames amidst the billowing dust.

The layers of defensive spells stacked around them were as fragile as soap, easily punctured, and did not have the slightest effect of stopping the attack.

Wow! Has this child grown up to be this big?

BB, standing to the side, gasped as he looked at the massive crater hundreds of meters deep around the fist and the cherry-colored machines that had turned into QR codes. A deep sense of dread appeared in his purple eyes.

【Domain Shattering】, a privilege possessed by the Emperor Flower.

That is, by fully utilizing its enormous spiritual origin, an attack can target the "domain" of non-"enemy individuals" with just a simple swing.

This level of violence is so powerful that even the techniques within the manipulation space can be shattered by a fist; it's practically a skill that "solves everything with brute force."

For BB, who excels at weaving domains and laws within the spirit world, this ability is a natural nemesis.

That's why she was so wary of the Emperor Flower, which possessed the power of [Domain Shattering], and insisted on suppressing its growth.

"Don't even think about running away...!"

At this moment, the Emperor Flower, having missed its target, grumbled in dissatisfaction. Braving the remaining fire from the Sakura Machines, it strode out of the billowing smoke and dust, its hands rapidly closing towards BB's location as if swatting flies.

Even as the attack drew near, sharp explosions rang out all around, and the rapidly compressed air felt like thick mud.

"Lip!"

Under immense pressure, BB retreated hastily while frowning and shouting.

Instantly, a pair of enormous metal claws rose up and slammed heavily into the Emperor Flower's clasped hands.

"Boom! Boom!"

A muffled sonic boom echoed all around, and a fierce shockwave formed a hurricane that spread out to both sides.

"Woo..."

The Emperor Flower, which was invincible with its brute force, suddenly swayed and let out a low moan.

Of course, the passionate lips that had withstood the blow were in even worse shape, crashing through several maze walls like a cannonball before finally stopping their momentum.

But then, the passionate lips in the smoke and dust pulled itself out of the wall, and its two metal claws reached out to grasp the direction of the Emperor Flower.

In an instant, the Emperor Flower's enormous body trembled, a strong sense of crisis arose, and the hairs on the back of its neck stood on end.

Talent - [Discard & Crush].

Passionate Lips is a cheat technique evolved from "Mighty Strength". No matter how large the capacity is, as long as it is "something that can be wrapped in your hand", it can crush and compress it with its claws.

The compressed object becomes a cube with a side length of one centimeter. Conceptually, anything that can be held in one's hand is considered an object of processing. This is a planar physical interference that ignores the laws of distance.

Even a giant like the King Protea is no exception.

At this moment, Samael, standing on the shoulder of the protea, sensed an unusual feeling of collapse around him. His eyes flashed, and he spoke in a deep voice.

“Melt!”

Almost simultaneously, Lilith, bursting out of the smoke and dust, rapidly approached Passionate Lips, raising her legs and stomping hard on the two metal claws that Passionate Lips had raised.

Caught off guard by the passionate kiss, her hands, which had been gathering strength, swung to the side, and her whole body staggered backward.

Although Passionate Lips instinctively swung its claws in a counterattack, its slow speed was no match for the extremely agile Dissolving Lilith.

The slender body of the swan-like dancer glides across the ice, constantly changing angles, rapidly rotating around the central, passionate lips.

The sounds of waves, pipa, and chanting came from all directions.

"It's time for the obstruction to leave the stage, Five-stringed Biwa, the pillar that devours all joy—Benzaiten Five-stringed Biwa…!"

In an instant, jets of water spiraled up from the ground, pulling the passionate lips into that sweet vortex.

Seeing Samael, whose passionate lips were being held back by Lilith and who had retreated to the school gate, smiled with pleasure.

Incidentally, due to the compatibility of different talents, Alteregos have a mutually restraining relationship, and there is a food chain among them... Lip → restrains Protea → restrains BB → restrains Melt → restrains Lip.

The Emperor Flower's [Domain Destruction] is a hard counter to BB's [Cherry Blossom Labyrinth], but it also has a natural enemy, namely Lip.

In theory, Lip's talent [Discard & Crush] can seal the Emperor Flower. BB initially targeted this characteristic, intentionally summoning Lip to avoid a direct confrontation with the Emperor Flower.

But he still has the Lilith card in his hand, which he can use to counter Lip.

As for the last one...

"Demon Eyes, unfold!"

Seeing that her team's passionate lips were losing ground, Violet couldn't hold back any longer and took off her glasses, ready to join the battle.

However, a sharp sword light attacked from the side, forcing Violet to abruptly stop the activation of her Demon Eye and retreat hastily.

"It's not over yet!"

Accompanied by the woman's cold laugh, another ancient longsword slashed diagonally upwards, precisely intercepting the violet at its landing point.

Her presence was concealed! An assassin? This woman was also a Heroic Spirit!

In the critical moment, Violet's waist bent backwards several inches in a strange way, like a boneless snake.

At the same time, his right hand transformed into several giant pythons that interlocked and snapped forward, lunging at Hinako Akuta to the side.

Akuta Hinako swung her sword several times, the fierce sword light shredding the horde of giant pythons that pounced on her.

However, due to this delay, Hinako's attack was temporarily halted, and Violet took the opportunity to create distance. Her round pupils turned into rectangles, and her purplish-red eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

[Magic Eye of Decomposition]!

The Demon Eye's talent was successfully activated; under the gaze of the violet, space itself and everything within it came to an absolute halt.

Hinako Akuta, who was the first to be hit, was frozen in place and unable to move an inch.

Success? The situation seems dire; we must deal with her as soon as possible!

Violet, sensing something amiss on the battlefield, leaped forward without hesitation, her right arm splitting into hundreds of snakes that lunged at Hinako, who was frozen in place.

However, at the moment of approach, Violet suddenly noticed that Hinako Akuta was surrounded by layers of blood-red aura with varying brightness.

With each step forward toward this goal, the sense of crisis in my heart grows stronger.

No, let's cancel!

Driven by instinct, Violet, halfway through her journey, subconsciously turned and retreated.

"Boom boom boom!"

The instant Violet turned around, Akuta's body exploded, sending countless rays of blood shooting in all directions, like cluster bombs exploding at close range.

Faced with this almost impenetrable bombardment, Violet sometimes retreated, sometimes lunged forward, sometimes rolled, and sometimes turned to the side. Her body bent into various difficult gymnastic movements with incredible flexibility, completing one almost impossible evasion after another, showing her agility.

More than ten breaths later, the bombardment of blood finally subsided.

"You've got some skills, let's try again!"

But before Violet could catch her breath, two ancient swords formed from countless crimson petals were thrust out again, and Akuta Hinako, whose body had been reassembled, was full of fighting spirit.

Of course, Violet, who was chosen as an opponent, was not in a very good mood.

Faced with Hinako Akuta, who can become immune to control through self-destruction, her Mystic Eyes, her strongest killing move, are obviously useless.

Another natural counter opponent...

Violet looked at the two sides that were also locked in combat, and her mood plummeted.

Lip was constantly suppressed and weakened under Melt's control, while BB was chased around like a rabbit by the large, frolicking dog, Emperor Flower.

Clearly, the situation of the other two companions is also not optimistic.

It seems the other side is very familiar with their various characteristics and has developed a targeted strategy.

Could it be because of him...?

Violet gazed at the figure standing at the entrance of the old school building, her eyes flickering. After dodging another slash from Hinako Akuta, her body arched dramatically like a slingshot, and then, with lightning speed, she sprang forward.

Since that's the case, let's capture the leader to catch the thief!

100 meters...50 meters...30 meters...10 meters...!

The distance kept closing, and the process went surprisingly smoothly; it seemed no one expected her to use such an unexpected move.

Violet looked at the neck that was about to fall into her hands, and her heart was filled with excitement.

At this moment, four pairs of eyes, one from inside the old school building and the other from behind, fell on Violet, who was approaching her target at lightning speed.

One belongs to the candy vine, and the other belongs to the mustard seed.

However, their gazes seemed to unanimously reveal a certain—pity…

When she was no more than three meters away from her target, Violet looked at the young man who seemed to be frozen in place, completely terrified. Her biological instincts made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Something seems off...

Finally, as she took the last step and got close to the other person, Violet realized where the awkwardness came from.

The man who was terrified seemed to be laughing.

Beneath its harmless exterior lies a subtle, unspeakable danger and terror.

And those dark, abyss-like eyes silently cracked open with a cross pattern, gazing forward with a smile.

In an instant, Violet froze as if in a dream.

"boom!"

At the same time, a massive shield came hurtling in from the side and slammed heavily onto her head.

"Don't even think about hurting my senior!"

The spirited shield-bearer girl leaped forward and slammed Violet into the ground with a furious blow.

So that's how it is...

Violet suddenly realized what was happening, and then everything went completely dark.

The candy vine looked at the violet deeply sunken in the pit, shook its head sympathetically, and then cautiously glanced at a guy who seemed to have done nothing, cursing inwardly.

Still pretending! You monster in human skin!

With a series of internal grumblings, the Candy Vine's thoughts drifted back to the scene where the Emperor Flower was captured by the Spirit Trap and the Fallen Sky Barrier was about to collapse.

At that time, she had already made the worst-case scenario plan, preparing to completely abandon the Emperor Flower and escape alone.

Unexpectedly, the guy that the Emperor Flower had been desperately pushing away did not escape in the chaos, but instead took the initiative to meet the tentacles that were spreading all around.

The candy vines thought the other side had gone mad and were almost ready to turn around and run away.

But then she saw the most brutal scene she could remember.

That guy actually tore apart the tentacles that were sprouting from all around him!

It's as easy and casual as an ordinary person picking up a bag of dried squid strips from the table, tearing them up, and eating them as a snack.

Immediately, a group of tentacles, hundreds of meters long and several meters in diameter, fled from the creature as if they had seen a ghost.

Even worse, those things retreated swiftly into the dark imaginary space as if fleeing for their lives, refusing to come out no matter what.

They were also spat out, along with the ones who were about to be swallowed into the imaginary space.
