CHAPTER 553: CHAPTER 341: CHAOTIC BATTLE

August 15th, 00:15 AM, on a deserted island north of Osaka Port.

The helicopter blades were slicing through the air at high speed, Ke Qingzheng stood at the edge of the cabin, glanced at the state of the island, and frowned slightly.

Then he took a step forward and fell straight out from the cabin.

The fierce wind rushed in, he raised his hand to adjust the glasses on his nose, manipulated the air to form an updraft, buffering his descent.

Finally, he landed steadily at the center of the island.

He stood shoulder to shoulder with Fan Dongqing, looking at Su Wei and Cezar blocking the way ahead.

"You sure took your time, you emotionless glasses guy." Jiushijiu complained, "Any later and everyone would be dead, just knew you were slacking off in Osaka with the old lady."

"Catching the three Bee Princes took us some time. As soon as I got the intel, I came immediately." Ke Qingzheng said, glancing at the ruler across Su Wei’s back.

He then asked, "What’s the situation now?"

It wasn’t surprising he found it strange; initially, he had received a notification that the "Bee King" had been born, but after rushing to the island by helicopter, the situation had already changed.

"Never mind the current situation, we need to catch them." Fan Dongqing said deeply, "They’ve captured Liuli and are now going after the Father of Puppets and that Japanese man. I don’t know if Liuli has already been taken away by them."

Ke Qingzheng was slightly stunned, seemingly unable to imagine anyone capturing that quirky Urushibara Ryuri. In his impression, Urushibara Ryuri had never fallen into such a predicament because her superpower wouldn’t allow her to be captured.

Fan Dongqing continued, "As long as we catch one of them, we can follow the clues to find her back."

"What’s their reason for opposing us?" Ke Qingzheng asked.

"They said there’s someone from the Salvation Society among us." Fan Dongqing said.

Ke Qingzheng fell silent, seemingly not having heard of the Salvation Society either.

"Get out of the way." Alexandra stepped forward towards Cezar and Su Wei, each step clicking on her high heels.

"The Shark Prince refuses." Yaguba said.

The next second, Yaguba leapt from Cezar’s shoulder, wrapping himself in a black tide, gliding through the air towards Fan Dongqing’s superpower creation like surfing in the air.

Yaguba’s body rapidly expanded, and in a blink, was a massive entity of three hundred meters, roaring as it opened its abyss-like mouth, its mouth suddenly swelling, as if trying to swallow the Vessel of Li Qing whole.

But the next moment, the dragon head of the Vessel of Li Qing suddenly opened, spitting out a ripple of intense flames towards Yaguba, the sharply rising temperature scorching the air.

Carrying a large black surge, Yaguba crashed into the flames, his whole body ablaze, scales shedding layer by layer, but still colliding with the Vessel of Li Qing, ripping the gale apart at that moment.

A three-hundred-meter giant colliding into a dragon vessel over a hundred meters should have been a crushing victory, yet it unleashed a wild surge of hot waves. Sand and stones were swept up and rolled back.

"That Shark is dangerous, I’ll hold it back." Fan Dongqing said, "You and the Princess go to take down that Exorcist, Jiushijiu, you spar with that Anecdote Envoy, and stay safe."

"Alright." Ke Qingzheng said, already advancing alongside Alexandra towards Su Wei.

Su Wei retracted the barrier formed by the ruler, the ruler quickly shrinking to a normal size, slowly rotating around his body.

He stood with his hands behind his back, motionlessly waiting for the duo’s assault.

Meanwhile, Jiushijiu activated a flying backpack, which emitted a stream of air, carrying her upwards, her pink twin ponytails bobbing, with hovering turrets closely following her.

Cezar crushed the generational-level anecdote, the distant resonance of reindeer bells echoing, then pulling a crimson sleigh speeding ahead.

He flipped over, mounted the Christmas Sled, the reindeer rising into the air, dragging the sled straight forward, bringing a massive snowstorm to meet Jiushijiu.

At this moment, Garfield took the chance to carry the unconscious You Ruirui, flew onto one of the helicopters, entered the cabin, and laid You Ruirui down.

"White Hair is about to have a heartbreak..." he muttered, "How tragic."

Afterwards, Garfield sat on the seat, lowering his eyes to look at the battlefield on the other side of the island.

...

....

On the other side of the island, at the moment the battlefield was split by the giant ruler, Gu Qiye had already transformed into a streak of pitch-black lightning, rushing swiftly to Kalina’s side.

He moved so quickly that one could not hear the thunder, or perhaps the black lightning devoured the sound.

A residual image in the air danced with frenetic arcs of electricity, and his quick-as-lightning movements left a trail of black light at the corner of his eye!

Kalina seemed to have expected it. Behind the goggles, her gaze was calm and curious. Naturally, she couldn’t see Gu Qiye’s speed, but the moment she saw a flash of black in the air, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

Gu Qiye immediately disappeared from the desolate sands with her.

Without a doubt, she had drawn Gu Qiye into her superpower "Polar Domain."

This time, the polar environment Kalina designated was "volcano." Gu Qiye looked around, seeing one black volcano after another erupting, with lava flowing dazzlingly in the dim world, as if it were the end of the world.

Kalina stood far away, arms crossed, on the summit of the only dormant volcano.

"Couldn’t dissect the Queen Bee, so let’s dissect you." She adjusted her goggles and laughed quietly.

In the next instant, the rocky surface beneath Gu Qiye’s feet suddenly cracked open, and a beam of lava-like firelight shot skyward.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the Real World.

Ghost Bell was like a hysterical berserk madman, running without hesitation towards the Father of Puppets and Ajaya, with a scarlet flash in his pupils.

A clock in his right eye rotated at high speed, and the surrounding air seemed to slow down bit by bit.

Meanwhile, Mu Long had already spread those black wings like a crow’s, forcefully flapping them to ascend into the sky above the island with Black Cocoon.

Black Cocoon wrapped a restraint belt around Mu Long’s waist, casually stealing his superpower, making it convenient to use in the upcoming battle.

[Stolen superpower from "Mu Long" - Traitor Eagle Domain (Unleash a domain that causes anyone within to lose sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, while your speed and strength greatly increase, and wings grow stronger from your back)]

"Here’s the thing, listen up, Mr. Mu Long, I stole your domain abilities, so we should be able to cooperate. I think you can perform just as well in my domain," said Black Cocoon. "So if Oda Ehgo manages to escape your domain, I’ll cover him with a new one."

He covered his mouth with one hand, lowering his voice and whispering, "Oda Ehgo is the weakest member of the Salvation Society. If the two of us together can’t take him down, we might as well just go home, got it, cool little prince?"

Mu Long remained silent. He simply stared silently at Oda Ehgo through the eye slits of his medieval knight helmet.

Oda Ehgo stood with his back straight, frowning on the desert, the wind howling past and whipping his black kimono into a flutter. He had already drawn his Tachi, standing motionless, waiting for the two to arrive.

He was like a dignified, seated samurai.

"Black bug, let’s go," Mu Long said, then immediately retracted his wings and dove toward Oda Ehgo from midair.

Simultaneously, he instantly released his skill, an impenetrable darkness expanded from Mu Long as the center, spreading from the sky like a shadow that covered the earth, swallowing Oda Ehgo’s figure within it.

The world seemed stripped of color, dim and drowsy.

Yet Black Cocoon, contrary to usual, could see the surroundings clearly. His senses were not taken by Mu Long because he had stolen Mu Long’s skill, gaining the ability to dominate the domain just like Mu Long.

Meanwhile, the scapulae on the back of the Restraint Incarnation suddenly wriggled, and the next moment split open. As the restraint belts spilled out, they gathered into a pair of giant black wings in the air.

Black Cocoon was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the wings formed by the restraint belts behind him.

He grinned, "So, it seems that after stealing your superpower, I can indeed show off in your domain. Mr. Mu Long, our superpowers are truly a match made in heaven."

With that, Black Cocoon released the restraint belt from Mu Long’s feet, falling from midair, then flapping the massive restraint belt wings, once again soaring into the air, shoulder to shoulder with Mu Long.

"We can’t get too close to him," Black Cocoon warned. "Oda Ehgo’s superpower creates space rifts with a sword swing. If we’re drawn into the void, we’ll be lost in the turbulence of time and space."

At that moment, Oda Ehgo suddenly raised his Tachi and drew a small circle in the void above his head. In the next instant, the small circle transformed into a massive black void.

Everything around was inevitably sucked into the void, even Mu Long’s domain was inescapable.

A corner of the abyssal darkness shattered, and moonlight spilled down, once again illuminating Oda Ehgo’s heroic figure. He stood in the moonlight, standing tall, with his senses restored.

"Come, let’s have a good fight." The elderly man, past fifty, raised his eyes and spoke hoarsely, word by word.

In an instant, Mu Long drew his sword from the sheath, falling straight down like a meteor, the sharp blade slicing toward Oda Ehgo’s head.

"No choice, like master, like apprentice."

Black Cocoon shook his head, and the restraint belt composing his body suddenly shifted to camouflage mode, his entire body becoming transparent, wings vanishing alongside.

Subsequently, he descended like an invisible bird, retracting his wings and plummeting from the sky, spinning and crashing towards the ground with a wave of black restraint belts.
