Kisaragi's Black and Seitenshi's White (5K)

So he soared into the sky, hovering three thousand meters above the ground.

"Strategic-level magic - 'Ice Age' - activated!"

The "Ice Age" of magic represents the ultimate expression of the Ice Fog Domain.

If the Ice Fog Domain composed of liquid nitrogen can reach -210 degrees Celsius, then the Ice Age could reach the lowest point in thermodynamics—-273.15 degrees Celsius.

Within this one-kilometer radius, all molecules cease movement, infinitely approaching a state of stillness.

This can be considered as an ultimate magic he adapted by borrowing the magic that Miyuki was good at and through the computational domain of his brain. It is no less powerful than Material Burst and Heavy Metal Burst, which are large-scale destructive magics.

"Then comes the final step— the Fourth Phase Shift —activate!"

While people were still marveling at why Tokyo Bay and the Scorpio were frozen in time, and while the operations headquarters was still discussing how to dispose of the Scorpio corpse—

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded.

It's a high radiation alarm.

Suddenly, a blazing ball of light appeared above the Scorpio on the screen.

The radiance it emitted was like the sun, dispelling the darkness of the Tokyo Area, and the sphere of light seemed to be gradually expanding!

When it reached its limit, the intense electromagnetic radiation destroyed the drone hovering in mid-air.

As the sphere of light devoured it, Scorpio gradually dissipated.

The "Fourth Phase Shift" is not some profound magic; it is simply the conversion of matter into a plasma state.

In such extremely cold conditions, the plasma ball also emits extremely high heat, enough to destroy all matter.

Even if the recovery ability of Stage Five is strong, it is still ultimately within the scope of biology and cannot recover under such massive thermal expansion and contraction. Both the body and cells will be completely destroyed.

Returning to nothingness.

As the dawn broke through the horizon, Senju Kayo, standing on the harbor pier, watched the Scorpio gradually fade under its sun-like radiance, and murmured to herself:

"... Is this the miracle you spoke of? It truly is a beautiful miracle... just like you."

Chapter 77 Kisara's Black and the Seitenshi's White (5K)

"You've really gone too far, dear Darling Two."

"Really? It's pretty average, I didn't even use much force."

In the basement of the morgue at Kuto University Hospital, Yotsuba Mahiro enjoys coffee brewed with an alcohol lamp in the air-conditioned comfort.

Opposite him, Sumire Muroto, as always, sat there in a white lab coat over a tight-fitting outfit, one hand supporting her chin, tossing her long, wavy hair as if teasing him, and said with interest:

"The entire naval fleet was destroyed, the army suffered 30% casualties, and due to the strong electromagnetic radiation, a number of electronic devices were damaged, resulting in economic losses of tens of billions. Furthermore, because the glaciers in Tokyo Bay cannot melt, the climate of the Tokyo Area has undergone semi-permanent changes..."

Sumire Muroto stirred the bubbling coffee in her beaker, recounting the losses of the Scorpio battle as if she knew them by heart.

"Really? Only such a small loss? I thought we could bring the Tokyo Area to a state of near paralysis."

Yotsuba Mahiro clicked his tongue in regret, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or genuinely sincere.

"But then again, since it's a miracle, isn't it normal to pay a price? There's no such thing as a free lunch. It's better than being killed by Scorpio, right? Besides... exchanging such a small price for a Gastrea of Zodiac is a huge win no matter how you look at it."

"Heh... a miracle?"

Sumire Muroto smiled meaningfully, then turned to him and gestured with her eyes, "If killing Scorpio was a miracle you created, then what about that child? Whose miracle was that?"

Following the doctor's gaze, one could see a naked young girl lying on a cold dissection table not far away.

She appeared to be about six or seven years old. Like the other abandoned Cursed Children, she looked very thin. If there was anything that made her look different from the other children, it was that she had short, blue hair that covered her eyes.

The child was found at sea by Mahiro after Scorpio's body perished, and he then packed him up along with the syringe and sent him here.

"With 630,000 types of gastrulators in its body and an erosion rate exceeding 50%, it has still managed to maintain a human form. Young man, you have truly created an incredible miracle."

Sumire Muroto got up and went to the dissection table. Her fingertips gently traced the girl's body, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.

This girl is even more astonishing than the Scorpio who was killed.

According to Mahiro, this girl is the remains left behind after Scorpio was destroyed.

But both she and Yotsuba Mahiro knew very well that this girl was Scorpio herself!

Although it was hard to believe, even Sumire Muroto was taken aback when she first came to this conclusion.

How is she now?

"Currently, his vital signs are stable, the rate of Gastrea Virus infection shows no signs of continuing to rise, and the damaged nerves in his brain are repairing, but I don't know exactly how long it will take for him to wake up."

The results given by Sumire Muroto were almost identical to those he had analyzed. As for the reason for her unconsciousness, it was also because she was affected by the Lamenting Styx and her mind was frozen.

But strangely enough, the girl's spirits were beginning to recover.

Perhaps the vitality of life in Stage Five is just that powerful, even the spirit can be revitalized...

Or perhaps it was because he bestowed a miracle upon the Seitenshi that the world reciprocated with a miracle...

Thinking of this, a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Young man, how about occasionally sharing some of your compassion with the people of the Tokyo Area?"

Sumire Muroto suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Before I knew it, she had sat back down in the swivel chair, her legs crossed.

The narrow-cut bodycon skirt accentuated the curves of her full thighs.

Her long, shapely legs were tightly encased in ultra-thin black pantyhose, the slightly upturned curves outlining her alluring figure.

"Doctor, are you planning to plead for those people?"

After admiring the beautiful legs for a while, Mahiro away, stood up from the chair, and looked straight down at Sumire Muroto: "Do you think those people deserve my mercy?"

"You look just like the vengeful demon from the Tendo Family." Sumire Muroto met his gaze, a slight surprise in her eyes.

She knew very well about Kisara Tendo's past, as well as Rentaro Satomi's past.

However, it is precisely because of his understanding of Kisara Tendo's experiences that he is said to be like a vengeful demon.

There was one thing she didn't quite understand, even though she knew where Yotsuba Mahiro's hatred for the Tokyo Area came from.

Would anyone really become an enemy of an entire region for the sake of those children?

"I don't really care." Yotsuba Mahiro picked up her coat from the table and put it on as she spoke. "Aren't the Generation of the Plundered just as vengeful? So what difference does one more of me make?"

"Your ideas are completely opposite to Rentaro Satomi's."

Sumire Muroto seemed to have read his mind, and said with a sigh, "I think you'll inevitably become enemies over something like this sooner or later."

"So what? If we can't even overcome this little obstacle, how can we set our sights on the whole world?"

With his back to Jin, after getting dressed, before he could even speak, he said again, "I have to attend the victory banquet hosted by the Seitenshi in a little while, so I'll be leaving now. Oh, by the way, Doctor, I'll leave the Stage 5 blood here for you. I'm counting on you for everything."

And that girl, please take care of her for now, doctor.

"You really are a heartless man... Don't forget my reward!"

"Yes, yes, I'll remember, you frivolous old housewife."

Amidst Sumire Muroto's complaints and sighs echoing from the basement, Yotsuba Mahiro left the hospital and headed straight for the Holy Residence.

Several days have passed since Scorpio's arrival, and the commotion of that night has gradually subsided.

As the doctor said, many electrical appliances in the Tokyo Area have been burned out due to the strong electromagnetic radiation from the Fourth Phase Shift.

Under the influence of glaciers, the climate has also undergone semi-permanent changes.

The weather, which was normally sweltering, suddenly felt incredibly cool.

As for the exact temperature in Tokyo Bay, Yotsuba Mahiro didn't know, but the wind blowing here was quite cool, and even when the weather got hotter in a while, he probably wouldn't need to turn on the air conditioner.

The glacier he froze has become a man-made wonder.

"So slow!"

Upon arriving at the venue, I saw Kisara, dressed in formal attire, standing in front of the ceremony hall entrance, hands on his hips, his slightly displeased gaze carrying a hint of reproach.

She looked completely different from when she returned to the firm a few days ago.

Kisara then, and afterwards blushed and said it was just a hug in name only, to thank him for his hard work for the Tokyo Area.

I must say, President Kisara's appearance was quite amusing.

Of course, Aihara Enju and Asaka were also present at the time. Aihara Enju expressed great dissatisfaction with Kisara's behavior, while Asaka looked at him with resentment and blame in her eyes.

"Mahiro, you big idiot!"

In an instant, with speed so fast it was almost invisible, it rushed over without a word, like a dump truck, and crashed headfirst into his arms.

The girl, burying her face in Mahiro's chest, neither raised her head nor let go, accusing him in a voice trembling with sobs.

She blamed him for not taking her with him.

And why do something so dangerous?

It would have been better to just run away... but what if I accidentally died!

But with the Seitenshi, Kisara, Little Asaka, Little Aihara Enju, and the children of Arcadia behind him, how could he possibly escape?

"Hey, there's something odd about your gaze!"

Kisara suddenly interrupted his reverie, Mahiro laughed, "How could that be? I just think the president's suit is very beautiful today."

Although it was to cover up the fact that she was daydreaming, it must be said that Kisara's outfit was indeed very charming.

The long dress, with its ruffles resembling bouquets of black roses, clung to her delicate figure, outlining her slender and graceful curves. The open neckline and off-the-shoulder design perfectly exposed her collarbones, which appeared even whiter against the backdrop of the dress's black color.

She also tied her hair up in a high bun with a black ribbon.

Black itself carries a sense of mystery and nobility.

For Kisara even unusually changed out of her boots, which were usually comfortable for movement, and put on high heels instead.

"I wish she could dress like this all the time, instead of always wearing a uniform. It's such a waste of such a great figure and face."

"How could that be, you idiot! Doesn't that require money?"

Kisara the same old thing, even with money, he's still a miser.

"Besides, today is different. I got up early this morning to prepare for today's banquet. I don't usually have this much free time."

As she spoke, she puffed out her chest as if it were perfectly natural, and the peaks covered by the black silk gauze bobbed slightly.

Hiss--

Is it really this bouncy and chewy?

I reckon only Mizuki could possibly put her to a fight.

"As for you, didn't I already say so? Today, His Seitenshi Emperor is personally holding an award ceremony for the police officers who have made outstanding contributions. Wouldn't you like to dress more appropriately?"

"Am I dressed inappropriately?" He looked down at his clothes.

It's definitely a formal suit, and a custom-made one at that.

"You should at least wear a tie, honestly! You're just like Satomi, always causing trouble. I'll help you, don't move!"

As they were talking, Kisara come up to him.

A hand wearing black silk gloves that reached up to his elbows reached towards his neck, buttoning his shirt while simultaneously pulling a gift box from his handbag containing an expensive tie.

"Consider this a gift for you defeating Scorpio..."

That's what she said.

Then she took a tie out of the gift box and helped him tie it.

However, during this process, the distance between them has become very close.

Perhaps it was because Kisara his body odor was stronger than usual, emitting a very alluring fragrance that stimulated his nasal passages with its sweet aroma.

Even she herself didn't realize just how intimate their posture was.

If Mahiro lowered her head slightly, her ample breasts would be fully visible through her off-the-shoulder dress.

"I said, we're getting a little too close."

"Don't bother me. Seriously, why is tying a tie so hard?"
