The flas and roar of the explosion subsided.
Centered on Qiushan, the surrounding forests within a few hundred ters were reduced to scorched earth.
The ground was full of potholes and still emitting wisps of smoke, with a burnt sll perating the air.
Akiyama removed the golden cloak from his defenses, knelt on one knee, and gasped for breath.
His short hair was burned and curled, and his face and arms were covered with wounds.
He looked down at the 【Divine Wind Robe】 on his body. This legendary life-saving equipnt was dim in luster, and several cracks had even appeared on its surface.
Akiyama raised his head and looked into the distance.
He never imagined that the self-destruction of those inconspicuous insects would be so terrifying.
Wave after wave, endless, giving him no chance to catch his breath.
If he hadn't used this last trump card to save his life, he might have really died here today.
It was slowly worn down and killed by a swarm of insects.
This is an utter disgrace.
By this ti, the black sedan had long since disappeared.
Should we continue pursuing it?
Akiyama gave a wry smile and shook his head.
It's impossible.
He snorted coldly, dragged his weary body, and turned back.
He rembered this grudge.
anwhile, silence reigned inside the speeding car.
The driver, Kujo Kazuya, was deathly pale. His knuckles were white as he gripped the steering wheel so tightly that he didn't even dare to look at the man in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Karen stared out the window at the rapidly receding night view, her face dark and her chest heaving.
Polina leaned back in her seat, her eyes slightly narrowed, seemingly lost in thought.
The explosion is still fresh in everyone's minds.
After a long silence, Karen finally broke it.
He turned his head and stared intently at the man in the back row who still looked like "Kujo Hiroji".
"The power that those beetles just unleashed..."
Karen's voice was sowhat hoarse.
"He actually beat an S-class legendary professional to the point of being completely powerless to fight back."
He knew that even if he went all out, he could never achieve such a suppressive effect.
That wasn't just overwhelming power; it was a kind of destruction that disregarded costs.
Karen stared at Zhou Huai and asked, word by word.
"What level of professional are you exactly?"
Zhou Huai slowly opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"you guess?"
Karen was so angry at his attitude that she almost jumped up.
"Guess what?! I'm talking to you about serious matters!"
He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and his tone beca serious.
"Since we are in a cooperative relationship, I think it's best for us to be honest with each other."
"Even if you don't tell , I'll know."
Karen's eyes sharpened.
"You are definitely an SS-rank as well."
"I never imagined that your Great Xia Kingdom would have such a trump card hidden besides Gandalf and Zhao Qingcang."
Polina ignored their conversation; she was more concerned with practical matters.
She sat up straight and asked directly.
Where are you going to take us next?
Zhou Huai glanced out the car window and thought for a mont.
"While I still have this body, let's get out of the city."
"If we wait until Kujo Hiroharu reacts, he will completely seal off all entrances and exits to Tokyo."
"Even if I continue to impersonate him, I won't be able to get out."
Polina nodded.
She pressed for more information.
What happens after we leave the city?
"How should we choose among those four places?"
Are we going directly to Lake Kawaguchi?
Zhou Huai smiled upon hearing this.
"We can wait patiently after we leave the city."
"Soone will point out the correct location for us when the ti cos."
Polina frowned.
Who is the person you're talking about?
However, Zhou Huai said no more.
He simply leaned back in his seat and silently closed his eyes.
Karen was very unhappy with Zhou Huai, but she didn't dare to say anything.
He was wary of the exploding beetles earlier; if it were him, dealing with them would be a real hassle.
Who knows how many more of these insects he has? I could only snort and remain silent.
Polina was still sowhat unwilling to give up.
Based on all the previous performances.
She beca increasingly curious about this ever-changing star.
She subtly moved closer to Zhou Huai, almost touching him.
A hand gently rested on Caesar's thigh.
She lowered her voice, with a hint of allure.
"Tell us what your plans are."
"Or, you can tell alone."
Zhou Huai sneered inwardly.
Little girl, you're doing this again.
This is Polina's professional ability, "Desire Domination," which allows her to control the will of anyone who desires her.
Zhou Huai had understood this before.
He instantly withdrew his consciousness from Caesar's body.
It returned to its original form.
Inside the carriage.
Once Caesar was no longer under Zhou Huai's control, the humanity he had been feigning vanished instantly.
A terrifying aura erupted!
Caesar, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
Cold, lifeless, devoid of any emotion.
It's like God looking down on ants.
He made no extra movents, but simply uttered a single word.
"roll."
This word carried no energy, yet it struck Polina's soul like a heavy hamr.
Polina's charming smile froze instantly.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any color.
In her alluring eyes, her pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, leaving only pure fear.
She felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart, and she couldn't even breathe.
His body trembled violently and uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered.
Her hand, which was resting on Caesar's leg, recoiled abruptly as if she had been electrocuted, as if she had touched sothing terrifying.
This terrifying pressure wasn't just directed at Polina.
Karen in the # Nоvеlight # front row and Kujo Kazuya, who was driving, were also enveloped by the lingering effects of the aura.
Karen felt a chill run down her spine and up to her head, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
He felt that he was no longer a powerful SS-level professional, but a prey being targeted, and he couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.
This feeling...
He had never experienced such a terrifying sense of oppression, not even from the federal archbishop Andrew!
Is this really just an SS-rank?!
Kazuya Kujo, who was driving, was terrified.
His hands gripping the steering wheel trembled violently, and the car began to sway on the mountain road, almost crashing into the guardrail.
He felt surrounded by imnse pressure, as if he could be crushed at any mont.
The air inside the carriage was eerily quiet.
The third floor of the Eternal Night Base.
Zhou Huai lay on the bed, and through Caesar's shared perspective, he looked at the terrified expressions of the three people in the car, and smiled.
"A simple deterrent would be good."
"So that these two guys won't cause any trouble later."
He was thinking to himself.
In fact, the person he was talking about who "would point out the right things for us" was Akiyama, who had just been badly blasted by his soldier beetles.
In the explosion just now, Zhou Huai did more than just stop him.
The real purpose is a heteromorphic parasite hidden inside.
Under the cover of the explosion, the parasite, smaller than a speck of dust, had already been implanted into Akiyama's body.
From now on, Zhou Huai will know exactly where Qiu Shan is, no matter where he is.
Akiyama was Kujo Hiroharu's personal bodyguard; wherever he was, Kujo Hiroharu was.
Given Kujo Hiroharu's personality, Zhou Huai didn't believe he would entrust sothing as precious as the pendulum of life to soone else.
Especially when you're about to use it.
Therefore, Zhou Huai was certain that as long as he followed Qiushan, he would definitely find Kujo Hiroharu and the pendulum of life.
This is his real plan.
