The next day, the families that had refused to attend the meeting vanished, leaving the others too frightened to resist.

He reunited with Tokisaki Kurumi in City Z and learned that she had become a Dragon-level wanted monster after using Raziel, Zafkiel’s inverted form.

• Jibril’s destruction of U.S. military bases caused worldwide upheaval, while Western governments and believers reacted to the angel’s appearance.

• Tokisaki Kurumi explained that switching between Zafkiel and Raziel required preparation and said Raziel had helped her defeat Tanktop Master and Metal Bat.
• An Xiu took Tokisaki Kurumi and Jibril to a hotel, where he strengthened Kurumi through Soul Supply overnight.
• Tokisaki Kurumi attacked the heroes surrounding the hotel, quickly defeating Golden Ball and Spring Mustache and cutting through Death Gatling’s weapon with a single slash.
