Who is not a lawyer?

There was a sound like glass cracking.

"what!"

Yingyin Zhizi looked at the fragile cracks that appeared inch by inch on the protective shield that he was so proud of.

"Strike Iron·Falcon"!

"Shh!"

The moment the protective shield cracked, Hiruko Kobinai held the small sword in both hands and slashed towards Luo Mio.

Facing the swift slash, Luo Mio remained calm. She retracted her right hand and dodged his attack at the limit of the attack range of Hiruko Kobinai's small sword.

Just as Hiruko Kobinai was preparing for the next wave of attack, Luo Mio reached out her hand to her first.

"Qiang!"

A huge force was transmitted into Hiruko Kobinai's hand through the handle of the knife, and then Hiruko Kobinai's figure suddenly flew backwards towards a house on the side.

Then Luo Mio looked at Hiruko Yingyin.

"Your Highness is so gentle." Hiruko Yingyin looked at Luo Mio and said with a chuckle under the mask.

"Your Highness, you could have seriously injured Little Binay with that attack just now, but you held back at the end."

"..."

Luo Mio raised an eyebrow.

"So what do you want to say?"

"Hehe..." Yingyin Zhizi laughed, then looked at Luo Mio and spoke.

"Your Highness, do you think this world is really like the river? The Tokyo area, the Osaka area, and even other parts of the world..."

"No matter how kindly you help them, in the end... they will still betray you and the children you cherish."

Luo Mio knew that the "they" that Hiruko Yingyin was referring to were those people.

After hearing his words, Luo Mio also sighed slightly, and an inexplicable look appeared in her blue eyes.

Then——

"—"

Luo Mio moved her toes slightly, and her body arrived in front of Hiruko Yingyin at lightning speed.

"Varied...!"

The speed is even faster than before!

And at the moment when Hiruko Yingyin was shocked, Luo Mio's palm gently hit Hiruko Yingyin's abdomen.

"..."

Luo Mio said something in Zhizi Yingyin's ear. Zhizi Yingyin's eyes under the mask slowly widened and he looked at Luo Mio with disbelief.

"only..."

Power slowly emanated from Luo Mio's palms.

"not now!"

Then a powerful force emanated from Luo Mio's palm and hit Ying Yin's abdomen heavily.

"—"

I saw Zhizi Yingyin's body flying backwards uncontrollably, and then smashed heavily into a house. The walls of the house also developed layers of cracks, and finally the cracks spread throughout the entire house.

"boom!"

The house was reduced to ruins in an instant, and the rocks completely buried Ying Yin.

"father!"

Seeing this scene, Hiruko Kobinai immediately dropped his double swords and ran towards the ruins, tears flowing in his red eyes, and his hands kept moving the stones away.

After seeing the appearance of Hiruko Kobinai, Chiju Natsuyo also remained silent. She looked at Hiruko Kobinai with steady and cool eyes, wondering what she was thinking about.

After taking a look at the ruins that covered Hiruko Kagetsugu and the figure of his daughter Hiruko Kobinai frantically digging in the ruins, Luo Mio turned around and walked towards the church, while Chishou Natsuyo also retracted her gaze and followed Luo Mio into the church.

Walking into the dim church lit only by a faint oil lamp.

After walking in, Luo Mio and Chishou Natsuyo looked straight ahead.

In the middle of the church's pulpit, there was a silver-white square table, and on the table was a long silver veil.

And above, a silver-grey rectangular box was quietly placed there, and its lid was already opened...

Coming to the silver-gray box, Luo Mio looked inside the box with her blue eyes, while Chishou Natsuyo beside Luo Mio also used the stones that fell from the top of the church, stepped on them and looked towards the box.

"!"

This sight immediately caused a look of astonishment, confusion and shock to appear on Chishou Natsuyo's calm and composed expression.

All I saw in the box was a damaged tricycle.

Pink...child-sized tricycle.

Chishou Natsuyo said with a slightly trembling voice.

"This is the catalyst for summoning Scorpio...?"

Chiju Natsuyo looked at the damaged tricycle in the box in disbelief, because a tricycle damaged like this could actually become the "Scorpio" that summoned the eleven protogastric animals of the "Zodiac" that almost destroyed the world.

Luo Mio sighed softly, her blue eyes looked at the damaged tricycle with a little heartache, and she reached out her hand to stroke the damaged tricycle.

"The last time I saw you was about eight years ago..." She spoke in a low voice that seemed only Luo Mio could hear.

Looking at Luo Mio's appearance, Chishou Natsuyo fell silent.

Judging from Luo Mio's expression, Chishou Natsuyo guessed that Luo Mio should know the contents of the box, and also knew that it would become the catalyst for summoning "Scorpio".

"Ok?"

"Mio-chan."

At this time, Luo Mio raised her head, and her blue eyes looked outside through the broken window of the church. At the same time, the voice of the Cang Xuan Book sounded in Luo Mio's mind in the consciousness space.

"I know, it looks like Rentaro and the others have already started."

Luo Mio looked out the window.

Because in Luo Mio's perception, there was a huge electromagnetic energy gathering.

Then——

"boom------!"

The moment she sensed the explosion of electromagnetic force from the "Ladder to Heaven", Luo Mio's azure blue eyes flashed with a pure purple enchanting light, and lines appeared in her eyes like the turbulent sea surface.

All of a sudden, in the space around Luo Mio, and even by the shore of Yanhai, the space of the entire world began to ripple slightly as if it were being displaced.

And then, the next moment.

Luo Mio's figure disappeared from Chishou Natsuyo's sight.

"Eh?"

Chishou Natsuyo exclaimed in surprise.

In just a blink of an eye, Luo Mio's figure...even his breath suddenly disappeared from her senses.

At the same time, after Luo Mio and Chiju Natsuyo entered the church, the unmanned aerial vehicle that was monitoring Luo Mio and Chiju Natsuyo in the Tokyo First District Combat Headquarters seemed to be interfered with. The screen remained white, and even the communicator connected to Luo Mio's headset kept making noises.

But at the same time, in another space window, it showed the powerful explosion that occurred the moment "Scorpio" was hit by the "Ladder to Heaven".

-

And in the void of space, Luo Mio's figure slowly walked out of the cave of the void.

"Imaginary Space"

After walking in, Luo Mio looked around the dark purple and black space. The last time she entered the "imaginary space" was when she was in the failed world.

After looking around, Luo Mio finally looked in one direction.

And there was a huge monster over four hundred meters tall.

"Scorpio"!

Chapter 28: The light at the end, the smile before disappearance

"Scorpio"!

That's right, at the moment when the "Ladder to Heaven" was launched, Luo Mio calculated the time accurately, and at the moment when the super-holmium metal hit the "Scorpio", he moved the "Scorpio" into the "imaginary space".

The "ladder" can indeed eliminate "Scorpio", but...

Looking at the huge body of "Scorpio", Luo Mio's blue ocean-like eyes completely turned into brilliant gold, and the center of her eyes was as deep and empty as a black hole.

The moment the Eye of the End appeared, Luo Mio's temperament changed drastically.

At the same time, the entire silent and peaceful imaginary space suddenly became noisy. The originally transparent purple energy aura materialized like a minister, welcoming Luo Mio's arrival.

Then, Luo Mio walked towards "Scorpio". "Scorpio" was also observing the surrounding imaginary space, and suddenly found an indescribable aura coming from the side. The biological instinct instantly made it feel a strong sense of crisis about Luo Mio.

As Luo Mio got closer, the appearance of "Scorpio" gradually became clearer.

The dark brown cracked skin was covered with scars like the smallpox virus, and on the scars there were inexplicable protrusions, eight strange sickle-shaped things with barbs, piercing the epidermis from the neck, head, right eye, etc.

Its head was abnormally large, with a curved beak that shone strangely from the corner of its mouth, revealing an unnatural look. Its remaining left eye was so small that it could not be seen by the naked eye.

What is even more surprising is that it walks and stands on two legs, and its height far exceeds the height of the "Stonewall", which is about 400 meters high.

If you ignore its appearance, its huge body reminds people of the Titans in Greek mythology.

With such a terrifying appearance, "Scorpio" may have absorbed genes from tens of thousands of species of creatures.

The black pupil in the brilliant golden eyes looked calmly at Scorpio's left eye.

“Swoosh!”

"Scorpio" let out an uneasy roar towards Luo Mio, and out of its biological instinct, it subconsciously attacked Luo Mio.

Eight sickle-shaped tentacles swung down towards Luo Mio.

However, the moment "Scorpio" attacked Luo Mio with hostility, the Honkai energy in the imaginary space rioted.

Purple square energies that were too small to be seen by the naked eye gathered together and turned into a torrent of energy that rushed towards Scorpio.

In the eyes of Scorpio, those purple energy torrents were no different from sea water, but just when it wanted to use its huge body to separate the energy torrents.

“Swoosh!”

The roar suddenly turned into a scream.

The moment the torrent of Honkai energy touched Scorpio's body, it was like ice meeting molten lava. Scorpio's hard skin, which even a missile could not penetrate, was instantly burned by the torrent of Honkai energy, and the Honkai energy gradually flowed into Scorpio's body through the wound.

“Swoosh!”

The tentacles of "Scorpio" slapped the Honkai energy torrent frantically, and its body was still retreating, as if it wanted to get away from the Honkai energy torrent. Its molecular regeneration ability, which was far beyond Stage IV... was beyond imagination... Even if it was thrown into extremely low temperatures, vacuum, or thousands of degrees of magma, it was of no use at this moment. The wounds burned by the Honkai energy seemed to be suppressed and could not be recovered at all.

Now inside its body, Honkai energy is fighting against the protozoan virus in its body.

Although it was a battle, it was a one-sided attack that was devoured by Honkai energy...

Now, the surface of Scorpio's body clearly shows purple Honkai energy lines.

"Scorpio" can feel that its body is being devoured bit by bit... just like a group of carnivorous animals are devouring every drop of its flesh and blood.

"Okay, come back."

Luo Mio's voice sounded at this time.

As if it had heard Luo Mio's order, the torrent of Honkai energy stopped attacking instantly, and the Honkai energy in Scorpio's body also stopped being absorbed. Then it emerged from Scorpio's body and turned into particles of Honkai energy floating in the imaginary space.

The disappearance of Honkai energy made the Honkai patterns on Scorpio's skin dim a little.

However, the fading of Honkai energy did not allow Scorpio to recover. The skin around the scars burned by the Honkai energy squirmed as if trying to repair the wound, but the moment it touched the Honkai energy, it was assimilated by it.

Also inside the body, there were traces of erosion by Honkai energy, and the protozoan virus was assimilated into Honkai energy.

Luo Mio looked at "Scorpio" calmly with her eyes.

However, "Scorpio" dragged his body that was corroded by Honkai energy and looked at Luo Mio weakly.
