Volume Three: The Academy's Full-Scale Rampage - World Will and Planet Will
"Little Butterfly, what's wrong...?"
The lolis were enveloped in countless golden glitters, staring blankly at the person in front of them who had his back to them.
Without a doubt, this is Little Butterfly.
But now she is different, both in appearance and in the feeling she gives off.
Little Butterfly usually looks no more than twelve or thirteen years old, with a beautiful and delicate face and figure. She is an adorable creature that anyone who sees her would want to hug and cherish.
And now, she seems... to have grown up?
She transformed from a delicate and adorable little girl into a girl who looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Her figure became taller and more slender, her hair grew longer, and her mature beauty was breathtaking.
The dazzling light solidified on her body, transforming into a breathtakingly alluring fitted dress. Ribbons adorned with intricate geometric patterns cascaded from the cuffs and hem, perfectly outlining her stunning curves. The dress featured a backless design, revealing a pair of enormous, pink-based, gold-embroidered butterfly wings on her bare, white back, radiating a powerful presence.
However, despite her beauty, her face was expressionless, and her eyes were devoid of any spirit, like a soulless doll mechanically performing its duties.
"Exclude..."
An inorganic voice emanated from her, chilling to the bone.
"Enemy of the planet, eliminated..."
With a deafening roar, the massive pillar of light seemed to have been severely damaged, swaying violently. She stared blankly up at the sky, only to see two figures rapidly approaching—
The first sound was a hoarse, grating laugh.
"Hoo hoo hoo, although I have no grudge against you, the Leader is watching from up there, so I have no choice but to carry out orders."
Then came a deep, resonant middle-aged male voice.
"Just submit, Planet Will!!!"
"Little Butterfly!!!!!!!!!!!!"
My shouts echoed across the sky. If I were still calm, I would probably be surprised at how loud I could shout, but I was so anxious that I didn't think about anything else.
Yes, there's no mistake, that giant butterfly wing that suddenly appeared and shattered the undead army—that was definitely Little Butterfly!!!
Two figures radiating an overwhelming pressure rushed towards her, sweeping away wave after wave of light butterfly attacks. Under their combined attack, Little Butterfly was completely suppressed! The light butterflies were shattered into nothingness, and the protection of her butterfly wings was repeatedly shattered by a storm of heavy punches. Now, she was on the verge of defeat!
Why she possesses such power, why she only unleashed it now, what exactly she is, and why she did this—none of these matters anymore.
The problem is, the problem is, the problem is--
"Please rest well, Mother."
"Oh my~~ Mother's arms are so soft and fragrant~~~"
"Little Butterfly loves Mother the most!"
"Mother, do you also like Little Butterfly the most?"
The problem is, my daughter, whom I gave birth to and who always calls me "Mother" with a sweet smile, is now in crisis!!!
"Depend on!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I roared and charged forward, my blood surging to its peak in an instant. Huge Flame Wings unfurled from my back. I was now only a few thousand meters from the center of the battle; in the blink of an eye—
"Calm down, A Ye!!!" Givinia was the first to react, hugging me tightly!
"Get out of here!! Little Butterfly, Little Butterfly, she—"
"That's the Leader and three high-ranking officials! In our current state, even if we all attacked together, we'd only be doomed!!! And the Rakshasa True Word would be stolen for nothing!!!!"
"I want to go too!!!"
I know that going there now would be suicide, and staying here and waiting for the storm to pass is the right choice, but I can't do it! I just can't!!!
Givinia, who always maintains absolute rationality, is unyielding; Haoyue, who is always loyal to me, has drawn her longsword and is ready to fight for me; Xiao Wu still retains her rationality, is gritting her teeth and waging a fierce internal struggle; and Shino is completely at a loss.
Just then--
With a snap,
One side of the giant butterfly wing in the sky had been forcibly torn off.
"No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Yu He, why aren't you going up?"
Jili glared at Yu He.
"Leader, please don't force me. If that really is the Planet Will, I won't have enough money."
"Huh? You saw it too, right? The Planet Will has just awakened, and its combat power is still very weak. It won't be stronger than the higher-ups!"
"Even if the 'quantity' is the same, the 'quality' is worlds apart... It's like a diamond and a large rock. Although they're equally effective at killing someone, the diamond is definitely much more valuable. The Planet Will may be weak now, but it still represents the planet. If we were to spend money to fight it..."
"Alright, alright, enough nonsense! Whatever, with Gustav and the Huang Huo, that's enough anyway--"
Boom!!!
Another deafening roar followed, and at least tens of thousands of light butterflies in the sky shattered—the work of the Huang Huo, of course. Without the light butterflies' interference, Gustav launched a direct close-range attack, grabbing a corner of a giant butterfly's wing with his massive hands, and with a roar, tearing off the entire wing from one side!
Without the cover of the giant butterfly wings, a girl-shaped figure made of light was revealed in the low sky. It was naturally Little Butterfly, but she had used light to conceal her true appearance.
"Ha, finally the true form has been revealed. Now it's my turn—"
Jili forward with wild joy. He never dreamed that this trip would yield such a huge harvest! Now it seemed that he was very close to his ultimate goal!
But how to capture it? Jili pondered for a moment. It wasn't that he was afraid of killing it, because even if he killed this giant butterfly now, the Planet Will would reappear in other places in other forms, but finding it again would take forever. So he had to capture it without harming its life!
Alright, the strategy is ready, let's go!
"I'm recreating—uh?"
The Jili stopped.
Yu He, Huang Huo, Gustav were also stunned.
"Gulp, uh, what's going on--"
Jili trembled as he looked down. Several gruesome wounds had appeared on his torso, leaving it a bloody mess.
From the void, from nothingness, from the very foundation of the world, something that only those who have reached the level of Jili can observe, realize, and experience emitted a roar that only he could hear.
Something distorted; it wasn't air or space, invisible and intangible, but it gave you the feeling that "something was there."
"Gurgle--tsk!!!"
The Past Sight Eye contracted frantically, Jili groaned and murmured something as he reached out, clashing violently with something! It was a way of fighting that only he, only "them," could understand, and nothing else could interfere!
This standoff didn't last long. Jili groaned, spitting out a large amount of blood! He gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on something only he could see—a gaze that seemed to want to tear a person to pieces.
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇!!!!!
"Damn it!!!!"
Jili roared and retreated rapidly, another spray of blood erupting from his body! Gustav rushed forward to help him up, his heart filled with anxiety at the sight of his most respected Leader so badly injured. But he knew that neither he nor the other high-ranking officials could intervene in this situation!
"Leader! We must retreat! If this continues—"
"I know! But--"
Jili's eyes were bloodshot as she stared at the golden-pink light. The original light maiden, severely injured, rapidly weakened, her form gradually shrinking until she became a tiny ball of light, utterly defenseless and easily within reach!
"Planet Will, Planet Will --!!!"
Jili struggled to reach out towards the ball of light. Seeing this, the three higher-ups also reached out towards it! So close, so very close! If only they could get it, if only they could get it—
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇!!!
The attack from around the world struck again, repelling all three high-ranking officials! Jili coughed up another mouthful of blood; he was furious, filled with hatred and resentment, but the situation was already dire—
"Damn it!!! The Void Realm, open the passage immediately!!!!"
A black vortex formed by gray-black cloth strips opened with a sound, and a gaunt, mummy-like human figure emerged from it.
"Hurry... hurry, Leader... we can't hold on much longer..."
"Everyone, get out of here!!!"
The higher-ups immediately entered the passage, Jili glared fiercely at the Planet Will, his eyes bloodshot! The small ball of light eventually transformed into a cocoon of light and flew into the distance, to a place beyond his reach. He reached out his hand one last time, unwilling to give up, but the invisible power of the world struck again, severely injuring him and forcing him back—
"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, the world's will! Aa ..."
A furious and piercing roar shook the heavens. Jili finally stepped into the dark vortex and left this place, and the World Will, having lost its goal, finally dissipated.
The nearly destroyed Central United Academy has finally returned to peace.
A small ball of light flew towards me from afar, and I quickly reached out and caught it.
That was a cocoon.
Something all too familiar.
I gently pressed it against my cheek and felt that familiar surge of Blood Energy.
It can't be wrong.
"Little... Butterfly..."
Very good.
Although it was tragic, although it was terrifying...
But she is still alive, that much is certain.
However--
"How could this be—"
Xiao Wu's voice was dry.
Her face was deathly pale, her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and her eyes were fixed on the spot where the organization had disappeared.
"I saw it... I can't be wrong... it's right among them... and it's still unconscious..."
She turned her head toward us with a creaking sound, like a broken doll.
"Evelynths has been captured by them..."
