Chapter 75: The Center of All Eyes
At the same time, at the rooftop of Seattle Mercy Hospital.
"Desperado! Desperado!!"
"Come look over there! Is that a meteor?!"
A girl with twin pigtails was pointing at the distant southern sky, shouting with excitement.
Behind her stood a team dressed in blue uniforms, the badges on their shoulders engraved with...
Huaxia Nation prison guards.
They looked up, their faces full of confusion.
"A meteor? One that falls straight down?"
Then, a strange figure walked out—dressed in a detective's coat, but with a black silk stocking pulled over their head.
"Hee~hee!"
In a neutral tone, they moonwalked backward to the railing.
Then, they turned that stocking-covered face toward the golden light piercing the southern sky.
"Wow~"
"How interesting~ What a magnificent meteor shower right before dawn!"
"What a wonderful day again!"
"But…"
Silk-Stocking Desperado tilted her head, tone turning playful.
"Within that meteor… there is the breath of a human being."
"Who could it be?"
Not just here.
At nearly the same moment, the gazes of every survivor across the entire Eerie Island—and even the great terrors themselves—turned toward that direction.
【Soul-Return Town】…
【Bone-Burial Abyss】…
【Scholar's Dojo】…
【Prayer Deep Pool】…
【Deep Pool Fortress】…
【Dragon-Summer Imperial City】…
【Lamentation Imperial Mausoleum】…
The center of all eyes!
……
The teaching building's central courtyard.
Rumble!!
The sky had been scorched golden.
Leaning against a crumbled wall, his entire body charred black, Guo Shuai struggled to raise his head.
Though the distance was over a thousand meters, though that golden light was blinding, though no one around him had said a word about what it was…
The moment he saw that meteor.
Guo Shuai's pupils contracted to their absolute limit.
His whole body trembled, so overwhelmed with emotion that even his lips were quivering.
'It's the boss…'
'That's the boss!!'
No Eagle Eye needed. No Danger Perception needed.
That was the leader who had been by their side day and night!
That was the silhouette that had stood before them time and time again!
Within that brilliant golden light, he recognized that familiar outline, that domineering posture!
"Wuuu wuuu…"
2 streams of hot tears poured down instantly.
Guo Shuai cried and laughed at the same time.
His mind suddenly flashed back to a scene not long ago—him and Wang Meng talking.
They had been standing right beneath this teaching building.
And he had been sighing.
'This godforsaken place… when will the sun ever come out?'
'It's so suffocating.'
'If only someone could jump down from the Tower of Babylon, burning like a sun, and make this cursed rain stop for just a moment.'
And now…
The sun had arrived!
Not from Babylon…
But falling from the sky of the Savage Realm…
"Do your best, boss! Smash them to pieces!"
Guo Shuai roared with every last bit of strength he had.
……
Rose High School campus, the back mountain.
Right at that golden light!
Piercing through the clouds!
Facing the earth directly!
"Ahhhhh!!"
"It hurts!! It burns!!"
Kamiya Konan let out a scream of despair.
That vast solar energy hadn't even landed yet—merely the residual shockwave had begun melting his skin!
"This energy… I have to flee!! I have to flee!!"
He immediately halted the Head-Swap Ritual, grabbed the blood threads, and turned to bolt in the opposite direction.
But.
A pair of arms locked around him in a death grip.
It was Corporal Morishita!
Corporal Morishita's face was drenched in blood, yet he was smiling with absolute radiance.
"Do you remember a classic animated series from Sakura Nation?"
"That was a childhood memory of mine…"
"Big bro will take you to watch the meteor shower right now!!"
"Let go!! You're insane!! Let go!!"
Kamiya Konan struggled frantically, biting into Corporal Morishita's flesh, unleashing every kind of plea.
"I was wrong!! I don't want your head anymore!! Let me go!!"
This time, he was genuinely terrified!
Facing death a 2nd time, he refused to accept it!
He didn't want to die!
He began desperately calling out to Dusk for help.
"Teacher!! Save me!! Save me!!"
But there was no response whatsoever.
In his desperation, he thought of his own ability!
Answer Analysis, activate!
"Tell me!! How do I escape from here?!!"
The voice sounded, and it delivered that answer which plunged him into despair.
【None.】
【A certain-death situation.】
"……"
Kamiya Konan froze.
Then, he began to laugh at himself hysterically.
"Hahaha……"
"Using it too early once leads to death…"
"Using it too late once leads to death…"
"What a truly… perfect cautionary tale!"
"So this is…?"
"The consequence of skipping the process and only trying to steal the result?"
"Reaping what I sowed…"
The next moment.
Bang!!!
That blazing sun came crashing down!
In the last second before his death, Kamiya Konan saw a sight he would never forget for the rest of his life.
That figure bathed in golden light like a god…
Was pressing down on the Principal—the ally of his own teacher—
And slamming him from ten thousand meters above, straight into the earth!
'Just what kind of creature…?'
'have we been fighting…?'
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
The golden light consumed everything.
Kamiya Konan! Corporal Morishita!
Along with the entire back mountain…
Reduced to ash in an instant!
