Berserker in the Hurricane / Update Delayed and Extra Story Plans
"Fine, I'll become a nude model then! That's the decision!"
"Meow!"
The moment CC whispered those dark words, a cat that had touched her back suddenly shrieked and leaped towards the body opposite her, using its green head as a springboard.
Stupid woman, you dared to sell me! Once I get my body back, you're dead!
Kevin leaped excitedly, seemingly already envisioning himself beating up Tokisaki Kurumi and C. C., and the smug grin on his face turned into a ferocious one.
"Bang!"
However, before Kevin could even touch his body, the transparent air wall that appeared around him knocked the cat away.
Fortunately, Stan's cat-like body, tempered by Honkai energy, reacted with Godspeed. Kevin was able to nimbly adjust his posture in mid-air, and during the backward flight, a pair of fingers gently caught him.
True friendship is revealed in times of trouble, Kurumi-chan...
Kevin felt a slight sense of unease, and his previous vigilance and wariness temporarily subsided.
"How about we make a trade? You get the cat, and I get the person..."
However, the cat was quickly grabbed by the scruff of its neck and handed to the stunned CC.
I knew it, you were lusting after my body too!
Kevin stared in astonishment at the Nightmare Spirit licking her cherry lips with her pink tongue, and immediately understood. He whimpered, scratched himself, and his lips twitched incessantly.
At this moment, the two women, each with their own ulterior motives, sit down to meet. Kevin, who is pinned to the table, sadly discovers that he seems to have no choice.
The Green Haired Witch, who had been repeatedly tricked by Kevin, stroked the listless cat's head with a smug grin.
"So you've finally met your match? Hmm? You really thought you could get your body back just by running over here?"
CC scratched Kevin the cat's chin, looking smug.
"You didn't swap souls at all. That bald guy probably sealed your Divine Body into this cat's body, but your willpower was too strong, completely suppressing Stan and taking control of the body."
"Until the seal on your true form is broken, you can only be a cat and obediently act cute. Are you stupid, Master?"
The call in her ear was full of sarcasm.
Chapter 751 Berserker in the Hurricane (Section 785)
Kevin, who was being frantically stroked by both hands, felt his mood sink to the bottom, grinding his teeth and looking sinister.
You bald bastard, wait till I get out of here, I'll make you pay!
"Actually, they're doing this for your own good. Every time they carry out a cleanup Calamity Mission, why does it repeatedly cause the world line to distort and the difficulty to increase exponentially? Don't you have any suspicions?"
"You yourself are the greatest source of instability, which means you're a complete jinx, Master."
"The fact that Amamiya City is peaceful for a few days is largely thanks to your separation of body and soul. Otherwise, this fragile inner world with its distorted spacetime wouldn't have lasted long before you drove it to collapse."
Kevin narrowed his eyes, doubting CC's gloating advice. At the same time, he focused his mind, preparing to forcefully break through the restrictions on the outside of his body.
"I have a feeling that you're teaming up with that bald guy, the Ancient One, to fool me?"
The Green Haired Witch lifted Kevin the cat, smilingly revealing the reason, thus extinguishing the contractor's intention to forcibly return to its original form.
"Don't forget, you have already advanced to the level of a main god. The power of rules you possess is mixed with too much external information. Forcibly inserting it into the inner world will accelerate the destruction of this place."
"Even the arrival of the Final Herrscher in the real world requires a gradual process. You're playing this game; if you're not afraid of crashing and burning, then give it a try."
CC is the Record of All Things in the world who re-encodes them, and based on her previous experiences, she undoubtedly possesses the power to analyze the laws that constitute the world.
Based on his past experiences of repeatedly turning the tide against all odds, Kevin had to abandon his aggressive approach and lower his claws with some skepticism.
"I sense that this restriction is weakening. Just wait patiently. In about three days, the chains of law binding you will gradually connect and adapt to the existing order of the inner world, making it easier for you to reclaim your body..."
"As for now, sweetie, bark a few more times..."
CC chuckled and scratched Kevin's chin, while simultaneously taking the pet hospital card from Tokisaki Kurumi and waving it in front of him in a vengeful gesture.
"Let's make a deal. We're all so familiar with each other, let's skip the two-way networking and have a three-way meeting instead. A triangle is the most stable!"
Kevin held down one of Tokisaki Kurumi's and C. C.'s hands, his cat-like face full of sincerity.
"When the time is right, I'll help you get the Original Elf!"
"As for you, CC, you must be exhausted after all these years, right? Once this is over, I can let you choose to rest, to rest forever!"
The fox's assurance and its promise, which struck at the heart of their conflict, caused both sides to stop their banter, nod in satisfaction, and agree that backing down made things easier, and they could still have fun together.
"Alright, your problem is solved. Now, according to the plan, we should go and visit the Yamai family."
Tokisaki Kurumi tapped the table, stood up, removed the barrier created by her spirit power, and lifted the hem of her skirt in an invitation.
Kevin carefully jumped onto his body's shoulder, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was not forcibly bounced back.
However, using a cat as a medium to indirectly control one's own body movements is really full of flaws, giving a frustrating feeling like a 5G network being throttled down to 2G.
However, based on the information he had gathered, Kevin had to admit that the Ancient One's approach was indeed the safest choice.
Just like when the City of R'lyeh rose to the surface, the arrival of advanced life forms was indeed a devastating blow to the fragile habitat.
Sometimes being too strong is a mistake. To avoid ruining the inner world of Amamiya City, we should be more restrained and take it easy.
However, just as the three stepped out the door, an inverted tree, Ruo Shui, appeared in the sky, with the eighth Ring Particle shimmering with orange light.
At the same time, dark clouds gathered, and a terrifying, pitch-black eye of the storm swirled across the sky!
"Spacequake warning! Spacequake warning! All residents, evacuate to underground shelters immediately! All residents, evacuate to underground shelters immediately!"
A sharp, synthesized electronic sound echoed rapidly throughout the city, instantly shattering the peaceful scene. Pedestrians on the street frantically ran towards nearby buildings.
Once the capacity for the shelter was reached, the streets along the way began to crack open on both sides, and the buildings rapidly sank into the ground under the operation of machinery.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the dark eye of the hurricane split into eight columns of wind, sweeping in all directions. Wherever it passed, buildings collapsed, deep trenches were dug into the ground, and uprooted trees and dismantled building materials flew everywhere.
That direction is... the Yamai family! It's only been a week since the last Pokémon awakened, that's incredibly fast!
Tokisaki Kurumi stared into the distance and noticed a blurry figure in the eye of the hurricane; her pupils contracted sharply.
They actually... merged!
When two unfriendly gazes focused on a certain feline, Kevin raised his paw and frantically waved it.
"Don't look at me! This definitely has nothing to do with me!"
We can't worry about that now, let's deal with those Pokémon first! If we let things escalate and the entire Amamiya City restarts, we'll be in big trouble!
Seeing that there was no way to salvage the situation, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately rushed out of the pizza shop, braving the storm, and leaped into the eye of the vortex.
Kevin the cat, perched atop the body's head, manipulated its form, spread its wings, pulled CC along, and followed closely behind.
"Unknown life form identified, codename Berserk! Anti-Spirit Team! All units mobilize!"
AST tactical leader Ryoko Kusakabe solemnly gathered her team members, quickly donned their gear, and rushed to the scene of the incident.
Her right-hand Mana Takamiya and Tobiichi Origami, each led a team, closely following behind, and flanked the block.
The AST unit, an anti-elf force established by Amamiya City, is a professional unit composed of both military and police personnel.
Whenever an unknown life form called an elf appears in the world, they will mobilize to try to eliminate the elves by force and protect the people.
"Captain, will those pigeons from Ratatoskr come and cause trouble this time?"
While calibrating the shoulder cannon, Mana Takamiya, braving the strong wind, asked Ryoko Kusakabe in a low voice.
Ratatoskr is a civilian organization that advocates peaceful disposal of Elves. Currently, it mainly operates on the airship Fraxinus, and its ideology is directly opposed to that of the AST forces.
However, their idea of peaceful coexistence attracted many ordinary people who were unaware of the truth, and was praised by public opinion. Even public officials in the municipal government sided with them.
The two major organizations, AST and Ratatoskr, are essentially like hawks and doves, coexisting in opposition, with each having its own market.
As for the dirty dealings behind the scenes, these soldiers, as the enforcers, mostly have no real idea.
Furthermore, Mana Takamiya vaguely knew that the Itsuka family and Ratatoskr had a close relationship, and that Tohka Yatogami seemed to be an unknown individual who had been placed there.
Although she disliked it, this glutton never did anything outrageous, which forced Mana Takamiya to abandon her targeted measures.
Ryoko Kusakabe stared grimly at the sky torn apart by the storm, the crumbling buildings and ground around the nearby vortex, and the heavy smell of blood in the wind.
"I have received the highest authorization; the weapon systems are fully deactivated!"
"The energy fluctuations generated by this unknown life form are terrifying! It will destroy the entire Amamiya City!"
"Peaceful coexistence is only possible if we can survive! Ratatoskr will join the auxiliary forces to fight the berserkers!"
"If these pigeons dare to slack off and cause trouble, kill them first!"
P. S.: I can't stay up all night anymore, so I'm changing the update time. There will be three more updates before midnight tonight.
A separate chapter will follow to thank those who have recently given rewards and supported the author.
Chapter 786: Bonus chapter postponed, and extra plot arrangements.
1. I originally planned to update more today, but my uncle came in the afternoon and brought over ten kilograms of crayfish. We ended up having dinner together in the evening, which took up quite a bit of my time... Sure enough, I'm an immature foodie; I only like to eat, not cook.
2. I wrote for three hours tonight, until after midnight, and only managed to squeeze out 1500 words. I discovered a bug in the plot integration and setting. Integrating different worldviews is indeed quite difficult. Based on the previous chapters, you should know that the author personally hopes to make the transitions as seamless as possible and pays more attention to the self-consistency and logic of the plot, so I don't want to force it.
3. I'm sorry, I have to break my promise to add three extra chapters today. Here's the thing: I currently owe five chapters, but I'll definitely find a way to make up for it before the end of this month. I've basically kept all the extra chapters I promised before, so please don't worry.
4. If it's still stuck tomorrow, I'll write the second part of the fan service side story for the "Funny Combo" (Fu Hua, Himeko, Mei), and also add the "Cloud Driving" side story for the YoRHa Unit.
5. Regarding the writing progress, the author's typing speed is actually quite slow, and I tend to be picky about words and phrases. So, it takes me about two hours to write around 2000 words (Four-Finger Zen warning; I'm planning to take a typing class sometime). Completing the daily update takes at least three to four hours, which isn't very efficient. I have quite a few chores to do at home during the day, so maintaining my commitment to extra updates is very difficult for me. But I will definitely keep my promise. Please understand if there are any delays or missed deadlines.
6. Finally, regarding the issue of removing books from shelves, let me briefly mention it. Books are for people to read; they are a form of entertainment. It's best not to bring too much negative emotion into them, otherwise you won't find your enjoyment.
If you don't like it, you can just go your separate ways. Reporting someone is really upsetting, for both readers and authors. I had a six-month bonus that I earned from perfect attendance for five months, no matter the amount, but it was all wiped out because of one report. I was quite disappointed.
I estimate that in the next few months, I will most likely not consider adding more chapters, or maintaining a monthly output of 150,000 words. After all, it's quite tiring, and there's no guarantee that my hard work won't be in vain.
7. But don't worry, I will definitely finish writing this book. If it is completely taken down from shelves, I will update it for free in the group. I can guarantee that.
If you're not in a hurry, I'll write it carefully, and you can take your time reading it. That's all for now.

Chapter 752, Section 787: The Girl in Desperate Circumstances
You really have a soft spot for women, Your Majesty, Earth Mother Goddess.
Kevin, dressed as a cat, stood on his own human head and glanced back at the AST force, which was predominantly female, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
These girls, equipped with CR-Units (Tactical Eshkalt Assembly), are among the select few who possess the ability to operate this device; they can be considered modern-day magicians or artificial magicians.
In a sense, they are somewhat similar to the Valkyrie Squad of Schicksal, except that their level is still different and they rely more on machinery.
Upon closer reflection, whether it's fortunate or unfortunate, Gaia's miracles seem to primarily manifest in women, whether in the real world's Valkyrie and Herrscher or in the other world's AST forces and elves.
According to Kevin's speculation, these maternal groups, representing birth and childbirth, are the most convenient vessels to receive the influx of divinity.
While they were thinking, Kevin and Tokisaki Kurumi slowed down in unison and hid inside a half-collapsed building, cunningly preparing to have the AST scout ahead.
"Squads one Second Team, crossfire! Blast away the obstacles in our way!"
Leading AST and others to surround Ryoko Kusakabe near the wind pillar, he saw that several probing advances were repelled by the force of the hurricane. In desperation, he immediately ordered the girls behind him to launch missiles and force their way in.
Instantly, dozens of small missiles were launched from the missile bays of the armored vehicles behind the AST troops, rushing into the eye of the storm like a swarm of bees.
Amidst the deafening explosion, the spiraling column of wind was torn open by the spreading blast wave, and the girls followed Ryoko Kusakabe, Tobiichi Origami, and Mana Takamiya into the room.
After breaking through the barrier formed by the hurricane, the AST troops entering the core area of the eye of the storm were shocked to find that a fan-shaped area of seven or eight kilometers around had been reduced to Ruins.
In mid-air, the orange-haired girl, dressed in a purple-blue Restraint Suit, holding a huge assault rifle in her right hand, gripping a silver chain in her left, and sporting metal wings on her back, slightly raised her head.
She saw the intruder stepping into her territory, her gaze cold and lifeless, and charged forward with her lance.
In an instant, a cone-shaped vortex of wind force swept in, pulling and crushing the AST team, whose armored defenses extended to any area, sending them flying backward. Their tight formation was shattered in a single blow.
Damn it! Ryoko Kusakabe looked at the ravaged city and the bloodstains among the rubble, her expression grim. She formed a triangular formation with Tobiichi Origami and Mana Takamiya, unfurled their lightsabers, and swooped down.
