Mass Dissipation and Starfall Strike (5.2K) (Continued)
"What's going on?! What are you all doing, flying the plane so erratically?! Do you want to die?!"
Saitake Sougen raised his head in a rage, but the next second he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
He witnessed a scene of utter devastation unlike anything he had ever seen before.
Inside the cabin where he was, a scorching ball of light appeared.
It started out as small as a ping-pong ball, but suddenly began to expand, emitting extremely high temperatures that heated the air and created shockwaves that melted and evaporated the aircraft's interior walls, glass, and everything else.
It transformed into a massive flame that engulfed the entire aircraft.
Like a second sun, it hangs high in the sky, parting the clouds and illuminating the heavens and earth.
It then rapidly shattered, contracted quickly, and disappeared as a singularity.
No trace was left.
"Whoosh~ I didn't expect 'Material Burst' to be so useful..."
Standing atop the No. 32 Monolith, Yotsuba Mahiro gazed at the azure sky and couldn't help but whistle.
The ultimate form of Decomposition magic— Material Burst, a magic that Decomposition mass into energy.
It is not an annihilation reaction. Since mass is directly Decomposition into energy, there is no energy loss caused by the production of neutrinos during an annihilation reaction.
Instead, it converts mass into energy at a rate equal to the square of the speed of light, according to Einstein's formula.
Even the heat generated by the Decomposition of a single drop of water—fifty milligrams—is comparable to that of a thousand tons of TNT.
It is outstanding in both power and effect. It may cause a tsunami when used at sea, but it will leave nothing in the sky except for air currents, and there is not even any radiation.
Its precision is far greater than that of Heavy Metal Burst that emits radiation.
Shiba Tatsuya probably never imagined that someone could unleash the strategic-level magic he created without the help of the "Third Eye" and its long-range CAD assistance.
No, perhaps I thought of it a long time ago?
Yotsuba Mahiro was unaware of this, and his revenge had only just begun.
The second stop was the United States.
With Tina's hints and the help of the memories of various high-ranking and kind people in the USNA, he successfully found Ann Rand's laboratory.
It also unleashed an extremely high- Material Burst.
However, the range wasn't that significant, so he unleashed another type of weight-increasing strategic magic—
Have you ever witnessed a "Starfall"?
A thunderous roar echoed from the sky.
A meteorite orbiting outside the Earth was forcibly pulled down, its trajectory corrected by thirty-two layers of weight-enhancing magic, and it burned the sky like a fireball before striking the North America continent, recreating the scene of a prehistoric mass extinction.
Countless countries were deeply shocked upon learning the news.
No one knows why Meteor Fall.
However, even with Yotsuba Mahiro's current abilities, he would feel deeply exhausted after unleashing such a massive amount of computation.
When he returned, he brought back many souvenirs.
Those Cursed Children wandering in America are unfortunately few in number, less than ten thousand.
Or rather, there are only a few hundred thousand, or even fewer, of the Cursed Children still alive today.
Besides the fact that the world's population plummeted and birth rate was very low after the Gastrea Wars, it is also thanks to the humans of this world.
To Tina's surprise, Yotsuba Mahiro brought back her sisters.
Azalie Springer Sting, ranked 100th in the IP rankings, codenamed [Giant Stinger Dragonfly];
Erin Spencer, ranked 95th in the IP rankings, codenamed [Meteor Fall];
F. Krenmiller, ranked 88th in IP rankings, codenamed [Black Mamba];
Louise Celazny, ranked 70th in the IP rankings, codenamed [Demon King];
And the strongest one ranked 21st in the IP rankings— Rita Sosberry, the leader codenamed [Pluto].
Like Tina, they were homeless orphans who were captured by Ann Rand and put on the operating table. Countless lives were sacrificed to create these few individuals.
Of course, these children are not as adorable as Tina. After being forcibly taken away, they are filled with hostility towards Yotsuba Mahiro.
But it's okay, kids will be kids, a few spankings will do the trick if they misbehave.
Therefore, under his physics education, everyone except [Pluto] Louise chose to obediently follow his instructions.
Then Louise was pulled aside and talked to privately a few more times, and she completely lost her temper.
His guard duty was over, and he hadn't shown his face at the agency for a while, so he went to the agency to clock in the next day.
The shops downstairs are still the same as always; there aren't many people during the day, but they're incredibly busy at night.
When he arrived at Tendo Agency, Kisara, the president, was already sitting in her boss's chair.
"Yo, good morning, President Kisara."
"Ah... Mahiro, good morning."
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Kisara forced a smile. She looked exhausted, as if she hadn't slept for several days.
"What's wrong? You shouldn't have much work lately, right? Are you having trouble sleeping?"
Mahiro sat on the sofa and joked, "If it's insomnia, I have a good solution. Just find a boyfriend, and with President Kisara's physique, you'll never have insomnia again."
"What nonsense are you spouting, you idiot! You big moron!"
Embarrassed and furious from his teasing Kisara slammed his fist on the table.
Well, this is finally the Kisara Tendo who's back to his usual self.
"Mr. Mahiro, please have some water."
"Oh, thank you, little Tina."
Mahiro had just taken the water glass and taken a sip when he suddenly realized something was wrong and immediately spat out all the water.
With a scream of "Ah!", the girl raised her plate to shield herself from the spray of water aimed at her face.
She slowly took the plate down and looked up in this direction.
What's wrong with you?
"No, what are you doing here?"
He remembered that Tina had been assigned by Kayo to Arcadia to handle nighttime security, so why was she suddenly at the agency?
"Hehe, I've booked her out!"
It was Kisara who spoke.
She smiled and walked behind Tina, placing her hands on Tina's shoulders and looking in their direction.
"Bag?"
"Oh right, Rentaro Satomi is still hospitalized due to his injuries, and you won't let Asaka work, and Aihara Enju has to go to school, so I hired Tina to work for the agency." Kisara said smugly.
"Kayo agreed?"
"Yes, of course, that child is quite easy to talk to."
Although he said that, Kisara recalled the scene of negotiating with Kayo earlier...
Kayo originally disagreed with Tina coming to the agency, citing Tina as a dangerous person and as a close friend of the Cursed Children.
But her expression clearly indicated that she was being asked to pay.
As a result, Kisara was extorted for a large sum of money by Kayo before he agreed to leave Tina here.
Well, a total of one billion yen, which is exactly the reward for the Scorpio incident.
"From today onwards, I am a member of the Tendo Civil Security Agency. Please take good care of me, Mr. Mahiro."
Tina even smiled and bowed deeply to him.
"... Miss Kisara, do you know Tina's identity?" Mahiro had already guessed the behind-the-scenes deal between Kayo and Kisara, so he asked this question.
"Yes, I know. They're just assassins who tried to kill His Majesty the Seitenshi. What does it matter?"
"What does it matter... it's just..." His lips twitched involuntarily.
He had originally planned to take Tina to the Holy Residence to apologize to the Seitenshi and ask for his forgiveness before taking Tina to work.
As a result, this stupid woman ruined everything!
"What, you don't want to? Little Tina is clearly very willing to come to the agency," Kisara said with a smile.
Tina nodded in agreement and said earnestly, "Yes, I really hope to work with Mr. Mahiro. After all, I am Mr. Mahiro's slave, and I have the responsibility and obligation to Mahiro by his side and help him solve his problems."
Yotsuba Mahiro: "..."
Kisara Tendo: "...?"
Such a bold statement left Kisara Tendo completely stunned.
Her face was ashen as she looked at Mahiro, and with trembling hands, she took her phone out of her pocket:
"Police... I need to call the police."
"Wait! Hold on a minute!" Mahiro grabbed her hand and said seriously, "I can explain this. It's just a small punishment for her, not what you're thinking!"
Although it was just a bit of his quirky sense of humor, if he had known Tina would say such things so often, he would never have said them to the child back then!
"Give me back my phone! What do you mean 'not what I imagined'? You pervert! You're so low! I can't believe it! Although Tina does look a bit mature, she's only ten years old!"
Kisara struggled, trying to snatch the phone back from his hand.
It was only after he asked Tina to explain herself that Kisara regained his composure.
However, Kisara warned him not to do anything strange to Tina or the other children.
Mahiro was also quite speechless about this.
If he really wanted to do something, Asaka would have been taken advantage of a year ago, and wouldn't have even resisted; in fact, she would have unexpectedly yielded.
Unfortunately, he wasn't that kind of pervert.
However, after calming down, Kisara sat back down in his chair and got down to business.
"... Mahiro, I feel there's something I need to discuss with you."
The girl rested her chin on her hands and spoke seriously, making the air seem heavy.
"So serious?"
"Um..."
Kisara nodded, opened a drawer, took out a stack of documents, then got up from his desk and handed them to him.
"Because there's no one else I can consult, I wanted to talk to you about it."
As she handed over the documents, her body was visibly trembling unnaturally, and her grip on the documents was unusually tight, her fingertips trembling and turning white from the force.
When I looked up, the expression on the pretty face that came into view had subtly changed.
A smile that sounded almost mocking.
He had seen that smile before; it was the expression of a vengeful demon when the vengeful spirit within Kisara was burning fiercely.
Then, she spoke again.
"Hey, Mahiro, thanks to you, I've finally got hold of the Tendo Family's weakness!"
The girl's shoulders were trembling, and a sickly smile appeared on her face.
She tried to suppress her laughter, but she couldn't.
The document she handed over clearly contained a string of text—
"Inspection Report on the No. 32 Monolith"
The content mainly focuses on the problem of the Monolith being poorly constructed and substandard.
But the most crucial sentence is at the end—
