Collapse, I save everything alone

Mingyu came up to them and gently touched the girl's hair:

"Does Hiyomaru know his true identity?"

“…In fact, I probably know.”

To his surprise, the girl answered in the affirmative.

Although she is usually simple, she is actually not stupid.

After all, she appeared in front of everyone out of nowhere, and she was aware of the fact that she was different from other "big sisters".

"You are all the half of the Herrscher of Corrosion, and now, I need to use its power to deal with a powerful enemy."

Mingyu explained briefly.

"I understand!"

Feiyumaru nodded and asked:

"Just merge with Ling-chan and that'll be all right, right?"

"Hmm... maybe that's what happened?"

Mingyu nodded slightly.

Even after becoming the Key of God, [Jisang Soul] can still maintain its own independent consciousness. For Hiyomaru, there is actually no change.

The key point lies in Ling. It is she who has been resisting the black box's automated program, hindering the completion of the Twelfth Divine Key.

As long as she lets go of her resistance, the black box's program will be executed immediately, completing the construction of the Twelfth God's Key.

Based on the agreement reached earlier, Ling completely let down her guard here.

As if sensing her change, the dark space was shrinking and deforming rapidly.

At the same time, Feiyuwan's huge fox body began to shrink continuously, until it eventually changed into the appearance of a human girl.

——That was exactly what she looked like when she was alive, a girl named Ling.

She took the hand of Feiyuwan beside her and said softly:

"...Don't let me down, Mingyu."

"Don't worry, I will do what I say."

He smiled and nodded.

Ling didn't say anything more. Her figure merged with that of Hiyumaru. After a soft cherry-colored light shone through, a dark purple sword fell into his hands.

This is the twelfth divine key, [Key of Corrosion - Jizo Soul].

"Tsk... This feeling is really uncomfortable."

The sound of a bell came from the blade.

Although Mingyu did not restrict her in any way, the feeling of being constrained was still quite unpleasant.

"I'm sorry."

He reached out and touched the blade of the sword.

"You...don't touch me!"

After a moment's silence, Ling spoke up to stop them.

"...?"

"Hey, I feel pretty comfortable."

The voice of Hiyomaru also emerged.

"Okay, take it out now."

Ling urged.

"Yes, I know."

Mingyu nodded and put away his sword.

"By the way, you have to remember... [Jizo Soul] will only recognize you as its master and will not accept the use of anyone else."

Based on her trust and commitment to Mingyu, she agreed and was willing to serve him, but no one else could use her power.

..............................

in reality.

"My dear Valkyries, the peace of the earth now depends entirely on your efforts. Tonight's banquet is also held for you—"

On the podium, the blond man was giving a passionate speech.

This level of inspiring speeches was commonplace for him.

It is easy for him to play with people's hearts and incite others.

However, while he was giving his speech, in the distance, in the area belonging to the Far East Branch, there seemed to be abnormal fluctuations in Honkai energy.

"……Um?"

His pupils suddenly widened.

Before he could think or react, a demon sword had already pierced his chest.

Along with him came Ming Yu holding the katana.

……

The girl in his arms had disappeared, and in her place was a beautiful sword.

Mingyu grasped the Ksitigarbha Soul and stood up.

The girls around him seemed to want to say something, perhaps because of the abnormal explosion of Honkai energy, perhaps because of the sudden disappearance of Hiyomaru, or perhaps because of his strange behavior.

But now, he no longer had time to explain to them one by one.

Enough of the farewell words have been said before.

Then, let’s officially start the war.

[The Never-Ending Wind of Miracles]...started.

In order to prepare for the next battle, he needs to activate this method that can continuously replenish Honkai energy.

[No lower limit technique], expand.

Then came…

Thunder, acceleration, explosion.

The huge electric current stimulated his body and squeezed his potential in exchange for only a moment of super acceleration.

The surprise attack on Otto must be extremely fast, so fast that even Yulan Dell has no way to react.

It doesn't take long, just a moment is enough.

Dazzling lightning exploded in the banquet hall, but before anyone could react, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Only Youlan Dell barely noticed his work, but she only barely picked up the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, and it was too late to stop Mingyu from approaching Otto on the podium.

The next moment, Mingyu appeared in front of Otto, and the purple-red demon sword pierced through the chest of Hun Gang's body. The blond man's eyes were full of shock.

He was probably still wondering why he, who was already controlled by Yu Duchen, would attack him.

Mingyu slightly turned the sword that was inserted into his chest and activated the ability of Jizo Soul.

Invade, Jizo Soul, along the cloud data network of the Soul Steel bodies, and destroy all his networked backup bodies.

In full view of the public, he openly attacked and killed the Archbishop of Heaven's Will, marking the first act of the campaign to kill Otto.

——Raise the key of rebellion to the sky.

Chapter 217 This is the truth

After the power of the Twelfth Divine Key was activated, dark purple lines spread from the insertion point of the blade and soon covered Otto's entire body.

After inserting the blade of Jizo's soul into Otto's soul steel body, Mingyu did feel the feedback. The countless spare soul steel bodies stored in the nine sky islands of the Satori headquarters, along with the one in front of him, were all hit by him at the same time.

The electronic virus spread rapidly, proliferating rapidly in Otto's cloud network, destroying the existence form after mechanical ascension that he was proud of.

All individuals connected to the cloud network suffered a devastating blow and could no longer be activated.

Of course, Otto is not someone who can be killed so easily. Jizo Yuhun only destroyed his networked body, but he still has other backup bodies that have not been connected to the cloud network.

Moreover, they were placed in various branches of Tianming and even in the ruins controlled by Tianming.

But in any case, this surprise attack also destroyed 99 percent of his "electronic life".

Affected by the Jizo Soul, Otto's soul steel body completely lost control and could no longer maintain its human form. Instead, it decayed like a puddle of mud and turned into the original silver color of soul steel.

At this point, everyone present finally reacted.

"Grandpa?!"

Theresa exclaimed as she watched what was happening on the podium.

She couldn't understand what was happening before her eyes, her brain was still in a state of shock.

The other girls were in the same mood, only Bronya was relatively calm and summoned the heavily-armored bunny, ready to fight at any time.

Rita had already split up with Yulandel and came to them.

She had already changed into [Blue Knight·Moon Soul], holding the extremely cold sickle in her hand, facing everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, please stay where you are and don't move."

At the same time, the elite team of the Immortal Blade also changed into their combat armor. Some of them rushed to the podium and surrounded Mingyu, while the other part came to Rita and together with her surrounded the people of the Far East Branch.

——The incident happened suddenly, and even she didn’t know what was happening.

But no matter what, since Mingyu attacked and assassinated the bishop, what she should do is to control the other people in the Far East Branch first to prevent him from getting other help.

As for Mingyu himself, let Lord Yulandel deal with him.

……

on the rostrum.

The girl's spear had already stabbed at the attacker, but it stayed just a few inches away.

Youlan Dell was shocked.

She was all too familiar with this feeling.

——She encountered such a situation during her mission trip to London not long ago.

Even though he hadn't dodged, his attack didn't seem to hit him, which was strange.

In other words, the mysterious man at that time... was him?

The girl made a quick judgment in her mind.

When the attack failed, she quickly took back the Black Abyss White Flower and stuck it into the ground. Countless vines spread out in all directions, surrounding the entire banquet hall and blocking Mingyu's escape route.

"You are--"

Youlan Dell said hesitantly.

"This is our second fight, Miss Orchiddale."

"…Sure enough, it was you at that time."

After completing the blocking operation, the girl wielded the knight's spear again and aimed it at Mingyu.

Because this was their second fight, this time, she could finally sense the faint "shield" surrounding the opponent.

——Thanks to the power of the world bubble and [Immortal Star Anchor] in her body, her perception of space is quite strong, so she saw through the reason why Mingyu blocked her attack.

But even if she saw through it, she had no way to break through this layer of defense.

But she believed that such a powerful protective effect could not last forever, and it must be an ability that consumes a lot of physical strength or Honkai energy.
