The playground was dead silent.

Xia Yao stared blankly at Kachi's finger, which was hooked under Chu He's chin. The finger was fair and slender, but at this moment, it felt like a venomous thorn, piercing deeply into her eyes.

Her voice was soft, yet incredibly cold.

"Kachi, what are you doing?"

Only then did Kachi slowly withdraw her hand, as if she had merely brushed away a speck of dust.

She turned around, facing Xia Yao directly. Her eyes, like a galaxy, held no trace of guilt; instead, a peculiar light flickered within them.

"Yao Yao, I thought about it all night and figured it out," she said, her tone light but striking Xia Yao's heart like a sledgehammer. "I like him."

She paused, then added something that made Xia Nuo's eyes nearly pop out.

"We can compete fairly. Of course, if you really don't want to... I don't mind being the second wife."

Xia Yao's breath hitched. She looked at her childhood best friend in disbelief, feeling a terrifying sense of unfamiliarity.

"What did you say? Didn't Chu He tell you he's my man?"

"He did."

"But you're not married yet, so why can't I like him? Good things, no, good men, should naturally be shared."

Xia Yao's chest heaved with anger, her voice rising. "Don't you hate men the most! Have you forgotten what you said? You'd rather die than ever be interested in any male creature!"

"Oh, I was young and ignorant, I misspoke," Kachi playfully stuck out her tongue, her gaze flicking towards Chu He with a hint of reminiscence. "I've changed my mind now. He... smells really good."

"You—" Xia Yao pointed at her, too enraged to speak. "You changed your mind, then don't steal my man!"

"Stop calling him 'your man' every other word," Kachi's smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of provocation. "I slept with him too."

BOOM!

The words exploded in Xia Yao's mind like a bolt of lightning from the heavens.

An indescribable, terrifying aura erupted from Xia Yao's body!

It was no longer the deliberate pressure she had released before, but a pure will of destruction, stemming from the depths of her soul!

The hard concrete ground of the playground cracked inch by inch, centered around her. Eerie black mist surged from the dark fissures!

Chu He's heart trembled. This was Xia Yao's true power! Far more formidable than her younger brother!

Xia Nuo, standing beside them, was completely stunned.

Three days! It had only been three days since this batch of humans had arrived.

His fearless sister, and this cunning Kachi sister, two SSS-Class existences... had both fallen for this human?

Could that kiss truly possess such terrifying magic, to make them fall so instantly?

Facing Xia Yao's darkness that threatened to consume everything, Kachi merely sneered.

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

In an instant, a completely different power erupted from her petite body! It wasn't darkness, nor destruction, but an extreme, dazzling brilliance! Phantoms of countless stars swirled around her, and the ground beneath her feet transformed into a deep, starry sky, magnificent and deadly!

One black, one colorful, two vastly different terrifying forces clashed wildly on the playground, the air tearing with sharp screeches!

"Pfft—"

Caught in the middle, Chu He felt a sweetness in his throat, and couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

He had no doubt that if his physique hadn't already undergone a metamorphosis, he would have been torn to shreds by these two forces!

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted with all his might, "Yao Yao! You promised me last night!"

"You said last night that if Kachi liked me too, you'd let her be the second wife!"

"Even though she forced me, I don't want you two to turn against each other and hurt yourselves!"

As soon as he spoke, Xia Yao's ferocious aura abruptly halted. A flicker of conflict and confusion crossed her eyes, which were burning with black flames.

At his words, Kachi was first stunned, then overjoyed. The way she looked at Chu He was practically dripping with affection.

He really does care about me!

He actually brought it up with Xia Yao!

Xia Yao stared intently at Chu He, then at Kachi, who looked triumphant and even provocatively raised an eyebrow at her. The rage in her chest and the promise in her mind battled fiercely.

But...

But why should my man be shared with someone else! Especially my best friend!

After a long moment, she gritted out, "I did say that... but this fight has to happen!"

"Let's fight!" Kachi's fighting spirit soared. "It's inconvenient here, too cramped. Let's go up into the sky!"

Before her words even fell, she transformed into a brilliant streak of light and shot skyward!

Xia Yao let out a cold snort. The black energy around her suddenly contracted, enveloping her. She shot up like a black lightning bolt, vanishing from the spot in an instant!

RUMBLE--!

At almost the same moment, a deafening roar echoed from tens of thousands of meters in the sky!

A pitch-black void collided fiercely with a dazzling river of stars! The sky seemed to tear open with a massive gash, one side being absolute nothingness that devoured all things, the other a destructive torrent composed of billions of stars!

Countless blades formed from starlight shot towards the darkness like a torrential rain, but the instant they touched the edge of the darkness, they were silently swallowed, not even a ripple appearing.

Immediately after, a giant hand made of pure darkness emerged from the void, blotting out the sun and moon, and clawed fiercely at the river of stars!

Xia Nuo tilted his head back, his mouth agape, staring blankly at the battle of gods in the sky, feeling his worldview had been repeatedly shattered countless times that morning.

He just wanted to come over and tease his sister, and see his brother-in-law, how did it escalate to this?

He glanced at Chu He, who was also looking up next to him, his heart churning.

What kind of monster is this man…?

Chu He tilted his head back, watching the two world-destroying energy storms in the sky, his heart pounding.

Is this the battle between two SSS-Class Anomalies? It's too terrifying!

He shouted towards the sky, "Stop, stop it! Please don't fight anymore!"

Unfortunately, his voice couldn't even leave the scope of the sports field before being shattered by the invisible energy aftershocks.

This kind of spectacle might just blast through this planet.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xia Nuo, who had a similarly stunned expression beside him, and couldn't help but ask, "Hey, little brother-in-law, are they two… really going to cause trouble?"

"Don't call me little brother-in-law!"
