CHAPTER 134 - ORIGINIUM? CATASTROPHE? OBEY ME! [BONUS CHAPTER 4/4]

"Who!"

"Who is it?!" Their pupils constricted.

They hadn't detected anyone approaching at all.

Not only them, but even the people from Rhodes Island and Penguin Logistics were inexplicably startled.

That person appeared suddenly!

They turned their heads at the same time. They saw Ren's cynical face right between them.

His eyes were mocking and disdainful. His hands rested easily on their shoulders.

But even this casual movement made them look terrified.

Their bodies felt like they were pressed down by a thousand pounds. All their limbs were disobedient.

Their minds frantically wanted their bodies to move, but they simply couldn't!

"Flock! Kill him!" Ino's shout was hoarse and sharp. It was like the piercing screech of a sick bird.

The flock, receiving new orders, turned back and gathered towards Ren.

Ren merely glanced coldly. The flock then stopped in place as if a pause button had been pressed.

"How is this possible? My flock, kill him for me!" Ino couldn't believe it; the flock was out of control!

"Are you Mephisto? Are you Faust?"

Mephisto and Faust, whose codenames were called out, stiffly looked at Ren.

Ren's cold expression changed to a playful, mesmerizing smile: "God said you are innocent? I say you are guilty! Accept my judgment."

The chaotic black Wings of Sin stretched towards the sky.

*****

"Ugh!!!"

The moment the black wing appeared, Amiya clutched her head and fell to the ground as if experiencing intense pain.

"Amiya!" Ace and the others cried out in worried alarm.

"Hah!..." Amiya was dripping with cold sweat, gasping rapidly for breath.

Her eyes were filled with extreme terror, as if the direction Ren was in was a massive horror.

"Sin! It is the sin that fills the world!"

"What is this?"

Mephisto and Faust's bodies were devoured by the Mist of Judgment.

Their minds began to repeatedly replay and recall the sins they had committed.

The sin of slaughter, the sin of madness, the sin of complicity. These were sins that could not be erased even with a tragic past.

Sin transformed into heart-burning karmic fire, burning out innocent ashes.

The moment they turned to ash, they would endure the punishment of karmic fire. Becoming innocent ashes was their only end.

Their simultaneous death was Ren's last mercy.

Last words? Better leave them for the next life. This life should be considered a wrong reincarnation.

Two clumps of innocent ashes drifted away with the wind. At this moment, they were truly pure.

The flock lost their Originium Arts control and all collapsed to the ground, becoming true corpses.

"Are they friend or foe?" Nearl and the others dared not be careless.

That eerie method of casually obliterating others made them wary.

*****

Withdrawing his Wings of Sin, Ren seemed to become harmless: "Don't be nervous, we are not enemies."

He stepped down the platform, treading on the scattered rubble, and slowly walked towards them.

"Don't come any closer!" Nearl warned loudly. As a knight, she felt immense pressure from Ren, a pressure like facing an insurmountable mountain.

"We're going to run!" Texas's hand holding the lightsword trembled.

All the hairs on her body stood on end, and the fur on her tail bristled. Her Lupo intuition told her this was an absolutely unbeatable enemy! This was an enemy that meant certain death if touched!

"At this extremely tense moment, Exusiai scratched her head and coughed. 'Everyone, don't panic,' she said, 'he seems to be my friend.'"

"Huh?" Everyone looked at Exusiai suspiciously.

Exusiai gestured symbolically: "Ren!"

Ren also waved back: "Exu."

"..." It seems... The two really are friends!

With Exusiai's guarantee, they weren't overly wary of Ren, but they still maintained some vigilance. Especially Texas. She was already trying her best to suppress the fear and trembling her body felt when Ren approached.

Exu's friend? She had never heard him mention it. Doubt surfaced in her heart.

Amiya cowered behind the Doctor.

The reliable Ace had no choice but to ask cautiously yet boldly, "I ask who Your Excellency is..."

Ren said casually, "Just call me Ren, Exu's friend."

"Eh? Little brother, are you also a Sacota?"

Hearing that Ren was Exu's friend, the Forte bread-person Croissant wasn't afraid and darted over to Ren's side.

Everyone else was also very curious. Currently, Ren showed no traces of any race, but the wings he had just spread were somewhat similar to those of the Sacota or Liberi.

There were also significant differences, though. For example, the pure black color and the wings themselves were different from the Sacota, and he didn't have a halo above his head.

"Unfortunately, I am not a Sacota." Ren spread his hands and pointed upwards.

"Compared to these trivial matters, I think there are more important things to worry about."

*****

The Catastrophe was about to form. The pale clouds had already begun to turn crimson, as if the sky was on fire.

The spiraling cloud vortex was brewing not a storm, not a hurricane, but the roar of celestial flames, a burning meteor shower!

Originally, the few of them wanted to ask about Mephisto and Faust earlier.

Now, after Ren's reminder, they remembered that the Catastrophe was coming. This was not the time for conversation and chatter.

Amiya had been cowering behind the Doctor ever since she met Ren, and the Doctor was an amnesiac.

Dobermann had no choice but to temporarily issue commands.

"Quickly find shelter, and prepare for impact!" She was decisive and capable.

This made Ren look at her twice.

She wore a simple black outfit, held a whip, and had long, straight black hair. What was particularly striking were her dot-like eyebrows on her beautiful face, the upright animal ears on her head, and the tail behind her. All of them were characteristics of a Dobermann. This was a true beast-eared girl.

Not just Dobermann. Amiya was a rabbit-eared girl, although she was often teased as a little donkey because of the color of her rabbit ears.

Texas was a wolf-eared girl. Nearl was a horse-girl. Croissant... just a mere bread-person.

Ren also didn't forget his purpose for coming here just because he was admiring the beast-eared girls.

"The Catastrophe, leave it to me."

The black and gold Chaos Wings unfurled. The complete form of the Chaos Wings consisted of two pairs of wings. One half was black, one half was gold.

"This..." Everyone watched Ren in this state with shock.

Broad wings nearly ten meters wide. The black and gold parts contradicted each other.

The black wings diffused confusing black mist outwards. The golden wings diffused a warm glow outwards.

At this moment, Ren seemed to be a fusion of darkness and light.

Amiya's big eyes shone. From the golden light, she felt love and hope! Those were emotions completely opposite to the black wings.

In just an instant, he ascended high into the sky. As for why he was so high-profile?

This city was a hotbed of sin and faith everywhere. It would be a great waste not to take some interest before leaving.

*****

"What is that?"

In Chernobog, whether ordinary citizens, Infected, or members of the Reunion Movement, all looked up at the sky.

Ren was directly below the central vortex of the Catastrophe. Combined with those Chaos Wings, he was quite conspicuous.

"Exu, your friend can fly?" Croissant asked with a look of surprise.

"Haha, my friend is quite amazing." Exusiai chuckled, having already started a livestream.

[Ding! Exusiai has started a livestream!]

[Ding! Rory Takakura has joined the livestream room!]

...

Rory Takakura: "Wow, what is this? So real!"

Rory Takakura was startled by the sudden immersive scene. The crimson roar in the sky, and the smoke-filled, corpse-strewn ground deeply stimulated her senses. She had never seen such a desolate sight.

Mikoto Suoh: "Is a war happening?"

Even Mikoto Suoh felt uncomfortable with this scene. Although he was a King, the conflicts between Romu-ra and Scepter4 would not escalate into a war with casualties. It was more about minor skirmishes between districts and cities.

Chito: "It feels like the ruins I once stayed in."

March 7th: "Hug Chito -chan."

Exusiai: "Although there is a war, Chernobog was occupied by an Infected organization called the Reunion Movement, who are burning, killing, and looting, so it's in chaos right now."

Exusiai: "However, the most dangerous thing right now is the Catastrophe in the sky. Texas and them said it's a meteor shower."

Rory Takakura: "A meteor shower! Then isn't this city very dangerous?"

Exusiai: "It's very dangerous... Originally, Chernobog was mobile and could avoid the Catastrophe, but now it's paralyzed for some reason."

Saeko Busujima: "Is this the mobile city Exu mentioned before? I thought it was just an abstract name, I didn't expect it to actually be mobile!"

Nami: "A mobile city is so cool!"

Bronya: "A mobile city is indeed a very good way to avoid disasters."

Silver Wolf: "I've also seen mobile battleships as huge as planets in space."

Rory Takakura: "Um... aren't you all worried about the meteors?"

Rory Takakura, who had just joined the group, was still too young.

Emilia: "Don't worry, Ren-san is very strong."

Mikoto Suoh: "Is that person in the sky who looks like an angel the administrator?"

Seitenshi: "Yes, Ren will definitely solve the Catastrophe."

*****

Ren took a deep breath. "Originium..."

After entering this world, he felt that the air was filled with Originium dust. At such a close distance to the center of the Catastrophe, it even turned into condensed Originium crystal particles.

Originium, in Ren's eyes, rather than calling it a mineral, was more like a type of energy. Energy that he could manipulate.

"Originium, obey me!"

With just a slight raise of his hand, the Originium crystal bodies, like obedient children, began to gather into his hand.

From the perspective of everyone on the ground, the storm clouds of the Catastrophe were actively surging into Ren's hand.

The curtain of the Catastrophe, which brought oppression and despair, was dissipating rapidly at a visible rate.

When light shone on the earth again, they realized that the clouds and the dense Originium crystals had disappeared.

Only isolated meteors were still falling. Without the Originium crystals, the destructive power of the meteors would be greatly reduced.

The Catastrophe brought not only destruction. It also created large-scale infection sources.

Each meteor contained condensed Originium crystals when it fell. While causing destruction, large areas would have extremely high Originium concentrations, turning the surroundings into Infected zones.

Ren casually swallowed the huge Originium sphere in his hand using Gluttony.

"Crack!" He lightly snapped his fingers.

The meteor shower disintegrated and exploded in the sky, turning into fireworks with flames.

The daytime fireworks were still dazzling.

Rory Takakura: "So amazing! The meteors were directly blown away. Can humans be that powerful?"

Mikoto Suoh: "..." Mikoto Suoh didn't think humans could do it. Even as a King, he couldn't do something so exaggerated.

Aqua: "Relax, this is just a small matter. This Goddess can also do it, oh. Rory Takakura, Mikoto Suoh, come and believe in this Goddess!"

Rory Takakura: "Huh?"

Mikoto Suoh: "I don't believe in religion..."

Momonga: "Aqua is starting again."

March 7th: "Did you earn money?"

Aqua: "This Goddess is the Goddess of Water, isn't it easy to earn money?"

Silver Wolf: "Oh-ho, the flag is planted, it's probably going to fail."

Hearing her boast so much, most of the group members felt she wouldn't have a good ending.

Exusiai: "The natural disaster is gone, the live broadcast is over!"

Tushan Honghong: "Hmm, what a pity, I haven't seen enough."

The natural disaster disappeared. This scene was witnessed by everyone in Chernobog.

*****

"..."

In a ruined street, a silver-haired, dragon-horned woman in a black and red Lolita dress, holding a sharp sword, looked directly at the sky. She took a step, and the scorching smoke melted the street.

"Sister FrostNova, the natural disaster is gone!"

A person heavily wrapped in thick clothing reported in shock to the pure white Cautus.

Actually, she didn't need to be told; she could see it too.

"Let's go." The continuous sound of ice cracking echoed.

The dark, robust Deer-headed Man, after gazing at the sky, swung the long halberd in his hand with imposing momentum.

"Forward, advance!"

"Oh? It seems something incredible has happened, Scout. Perhaps you don't have to die today."

On a tall rooftop building, the black-stockinged Red woman with hair like cockroach antennae showed a joyful smile at the corner of her mouth.

"..." If she wasn't toying with a bomb in her hand, Scout wouldn't be so disheveled.
