Then Did You See Your Own Future? (8.3K) (Continued)

With a loud crash, the descending figure stomped heavily on the sword hilt, forcefully forcing Shogen Ikuma to his knees. At the same time, the heavy greatsword pierced through Shogen Ikuma completely, pinning him to the ground.

This ended the life of Shogen Ikuma.

He looked like a criminal being judged.

As the clear moonlight shone down from the sky, the two of them were able to see the true face of the person on the giant sword.

He was a boy, about the same age as Rentaro Satomi, and was wearing a navy blue stand-up collar uniform.

The boy had a friendly smile on his face, not the kind of smirk, but the kind of friendly smile that was nauseating.

"Mitsugi Yuuga, right?"

Mahiro forward and shielded Kayo behind him, revealing the other's name at the same time.

"This is truly... incredible!!"

The boy seemed surprised, his eyes widening slightly, as if he had some kind of performing desire. He looked down at him from above while calmly opening his arms.

"I never expected that the famous Yotsuba Mahiro from the Tokyo Area would remember my name. I am truly flattered."

It's confirmed.

This guy is definitely a psychopath, just like Hiruko Kagetane.

With that leisurely and composed attitude, and with her hands outstretched in a gesture that was both polite and humble yet tinged with arrogance, she bowed to him in a deliberately elegant manner:

"Nice to meet you. As you said, my name is Mitsugi Yuuga, and my codename is Dark Stalker."

Before the prologue begins, on behalf of our leader, I extend to you our highest respects and a formal invitation.

Would you be interested in joining our Five Wings Society?

These words not only reached Yotsuba Mahiro's ears, but were also clearly heard by the Seitenshi and the others.

4:10 a. m.

An electronic eye silently surveys the battlefield in the harbor from 800 meters above.

The live video and audio were clearly transmitted to the operations headquarters in the Tokyo Area. As everyone watched the scene on the screen, a deathly silence fell over them.

"The Five Wings Society..."

The Seitenshi's pure white figure stared at the monitor with worry, but upon hearing the words, he couldn't help but murmur, "It's... the Five Wings Society..."

The other ministers also looked extremely grim.

They originally thought that Mitsugi Yuuga was just a high school student, a forgotten cyborg soldier, but they never expected that he would be the Five Wings Society who wanted to rule the world!

They didn't know much about the Five Wings Society; they had only heard of it.

Only Tendo Kikunojo understood this, as he had already clashed with this organization several times and was one of the few who could cause the Five Wings Society suffer losses.

Simply put, this is a terrorist organization.

That's right, even in this terrible world, terrorist organizations still exist, like dogs fighting each other.

However, the Five Wings Society is different from ordinary terrorist organizations. It is very mysterious. No one knows who their leader is or who their internal cadres are.

The only known fact is that they are secretly controlling the heads of state in multiple regions.

And he has always wanted to eliminate Tendo Kikunojo.

At least for now, the people at the operations headquarters, even Tendo Kikunojo, who was once the mastermind behind it all, have understood the whole story, and the incident has completely spiraled out of control.

It seems the Five Wings Society will use the Seven Stars' Relic to summon Stage Five, thereby causing a mass extinction in the Tokyo Area!

"What has your decision been? The organization's highest leader is very pleased with you. So, will you join our great evolutionary glory, participate in the New World Creation Project and undergo transformation, or will you fade into the dust of history along with the Tokyo Area?"

"Time is running out."

Every word that Mitsugi Yuuga uttered clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Is the Tokyo Area... beyond saving...?"

Many people were already feeling cold all over, and trembled as they collapsed to the ground.

It's a lost game.

When they were informed that Phase Five would arrive, they were already able to foresee the future of the Tokyo Area.

"No, it's not time to give up yet."

At such a time, only Seitenshi could utter such words.

"We still have our last trump card!"

Her gaze was fixed on the familiar figure on the screen. In the past year, she had entrusted Yotsuba Mahiro six escort missions, and each time, just like now, he only left her with his back, a back that made her feel incredibly safe.

Even though everyone else was pessimistic, she still chose to believe in that figure!

Meanwhile, at the harbor.

A salty sea breeze blew gently by.

Yotsuba Mahiro and Mitsugi Yuuga gaze at each other from afar.

"And what is your answer, sir?"

"I refuse."

Without the slightest hesitation, Yotsuba Mahiro, "A bunch of cowardly rats, trying to threaten me with a broken box that can summon Stage 5? What New World Creation Plan? You think you can do that?"

Don't make people laugh.

"If you want to invite me, you'll at least have to send your leader, such as Albrecht Grünewald of the Four Sages."

The moment he uttered that name, Mitsugi Yuuga's expression clearly wavered and turned ugly.

He guessed right. The leader of the Five Wings Society was indeed the famous chief of the Four Sages. No one else but this guy could replicate and surpass Sumire Muroto's modification plan.

"It seems your answer is no. In that case, the execution will now begin. I look forward to your guidance from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint sound of footsteps treading on the soil could be heard nearby.

Kayo looked around warily, but there was nothing around him, and he had no idea where the sound was coming from.

"Mr. Mahiro, please be careful. The enemy may attack from any direction."

Kayo gently reminded her, and she had already unleashed her power, her eyes instantly turning crimson, and even the automatic shotgun in her hand was loaded with bullets.

"It's just optical camouflage."

Yotsuba Mahiro said softly, as if talking to himself.

Under the Eidos Eye, no intelligence agent can hide, not even those with optical camouflage.

"Wow, you actually managed to spot it. You're not bad after all."

A voice radiating pity rang in my ears, while a cold, machine-like gaze was projected from the void.

The sudden and abrupt turn of events caught even Kayo, who had already unleashed his full power, off guard. Just as he was about to raise his gun to fire at the source of the sound, a shadow suddenly appeared from the darkness.

Kayo instinctively took half a step back, the passing shadow almost brushing past her hair.

Long!

A heavy rumble came from the ground, as if it had been hit by something heavy. Upon closer inspection, tire tracks remained on the ground, clearly indicating that it was a tire.

"No, we can't disturb them, so you'll have to play with me instead."

The voice came from the top of the church not far away.

A young girl was sitting on the edge of the roof, her slender legs hanging down naturally, swaying and bobbing gently.

The soft moonlight illuminated her figure; she wore a dress that restricted her movement, and she held a plush toy in her arms.

The straw hat on her head concealed her face; the only visible feature was a pair of crimson eyes peeking out from beneath it. She, too, Cursed Children!

"Nice to meet you. I'm Kurume Rika, codename 'Hummingbird.' Please take care of me."

The young girl sat on the rooftop of the church, slightly lifting the hem of her dress as a gesture of greeting.

"Since that's the case, I'll also state my name. I am Shikadake Jugo, codename 'Swordtail,' a mechanized soldier who inherited the 'Mario Jet.' Remember me well, and then die."

The murderer, who suddenly appeared from nothingness, pointed a pistol at Yotsuba Mahiro's temple.

"Enough with the nonsense. Let's see if your gun is faster, or my hand is!"

Without a doubt, Mahiro broke the tense standoff. Just as Shikadake Jugo was about to pull the trigger, he suddenly felt a hurricane hit him, and then the world spun around him. When he came to his senses, he was already deeply buried in the mud.

Mahiro grabbed the other person by the neck with one hand and slammed him into the ground, while using his other hand to hold the CAD against the other person's forehead.

"Looks like you lost."

"Wait... wait a minute!"

I lost before I even had a chance to do anything?!

How could that be!

"No, we won't wait."

Mahiro the trigger directly. As the Psion Light flashed, "Swordtail" Shikadake Jugo was already a dead fish, turned into dust.

Meanwhile, Kayo's side was still engaged in a difficult battle.

"The Necropolis Strider, the Necropolis Strider —Awaken, my beloved familiars."

"GOGOGO!"

Lijia clapped her hands, as if she were keeping time for a nursery rhyme.

Directly below her, the scattered tires seemed to have gained self-awareness, standing upright and rolling towards Kayo.

"By the way, since we can let you die without any pain, let's try a different game."

The girl uttered the most terrifying words in the most innocent tone.

"--Offensive Enchant" Thorn.

The order was given again, and with a whooshing sound, huge blades emerged from all parts of the tire, instantly transforming it into a deadly weapon covered in spikes. The high-speed rotating blades sliced through the air like a meat grinder.

Kayo leaped suddenly, and the tire flew past the spot where she had just been standing, narrowly avoiding the attack.

In mid-air, she raised her gun, aimed it at the girl on the church, and fired a grenade.

Boom!!!

The scorching blast from the explosion enveloped the top of the church, but the next second, the flames transformed into a tornado and were instantly dispersed.

And what made this possible was that strange tire!

The rapidly spinning fan blades miraculously blocked all the damage!

"It's useless, this kind of attack can't hurt my 'Wanderer' at all. GO!"

Rika pointed at Kayo in mid-air, releasing "Wanderer" once more.

Signaled by sound, the shockwave engine mounted on the "Wanderer" roared again, and it charged out at a violent speed.

Kayo, meanwhile, kept firing in mid-air, using the recoil of the shotgun to shift his position and dodge attacks time and time again.

But those spinning tires crashed around like they were in a pinball machine, bumping into walls, abandoned car frames, and boulders.

Their wanton and brutal actions have left deep marks of devastation.

Once the ability is activated, nothing that is alive and breathing can escape its fate; this is the origin of the nickname "City of Annihilation".

"OVER THE RAINBOW."

The girl, engrossed in the music of carnage, hugged her doll tightly, humming a fairytale-style song while swinging her white-stockinged legs.

Despite trying her best to remain calm, Kayo couldn't come up with any strategy in the face of something that resembled an autonomous weapon.

Should we move closer to the church and let the wheels fly towards the girl at the top?

She did try to do that, but the wheels seemed to be under some kind of control and didn't hurt the girl at all.

What to do?

Just as she was at her wit's end, those flying tires came at her again.

But this time, it suddenly turned into dust in mid-air.
