Chapter 834 - 24: Night of Forever
Despite the fact that the Demon Sage had just displayed powerful divine power, showcasing advanced and profound usage of the Power of Realm.
It was very clear that throughout this millennium, she hadn’t just been idling around, but had also made enormous progress and growth—
However, others weren’t just pushovers either.
A pair of fists can’t defeat four hands, and a brave man can’t withstand a group beating; even though she was spirited and her Demon Qi was overwhelming, momentarily suppressing the entire scene, nearly restraining everyone and imposing pressure and intimidation on all. However, this also caused many on the other side to feel pressured and instinctively resist her power.
Soon, Yakumo Zi couldn’t maintain such high-intensity suppression over the entire scene anymore.
Her abilities were naturally extremely powerful, but her Demonic Power wasn’t endless, nor could she, unlike Kazami Yuuka, engage in attrition warfare, seemingly able to drag any enemy to exhaustion. Intense performance meant intense consumption, therefore naturally it couldn’t last long.
Being jointly countered by everyone, she couldn’t maintain it for long at all.
And the action of force is mutual; she exerted pressure on everyone, and everyone resisted her together, naturally giving her immense pressure in return. Not realizing the reason within, the Boundary Demon became even more furious and annoyed.
"Get out of my way! You guys..."
Yakumo Zi genuinely felt a surge of evil fire rushing to her head; why did each one have to oppose her!
Let’s not even mention Shinki—the sneaky cat who clearly ran away but chose to obstruct others now—how damnable... and what was Kazami Yuuka’s deal, what fun was she getting into?
Alright! Ignoring this bothersome Flower Demon, still, there were others?!
What was up with them?!
Clearly, no significant contact was seen before, so what was the connection now? Could it be that guy secretly got involved and unknowingly sowed debts? At this thought, her forehead couldn’t help but have large pound signs pop up.
Gazing across the chaotic scene, calculating the number of girls joined in this brawl, the Demon Sage’s forehead veins throbbed, feeling utterly uncomfortable...
She took a deep breath, her smile became more dazzling.
Yet, those eyes under the shadows seemed like a broken puppet, hollow like a bottomless dark pond, utterly incompatible with the radiant smile.
"You weren’t like this before, when did things change... Forget it. Talking about this now is useless. When the time comes, just make sure you can never escape again, yes, forever unable to escape, then these things won’t happen anymore. I and Lan should be able to take care of you..."
Like talking to herself, or as if eyeing her target, she voiced her criminal plan—
The golden-haired Monster Maiden muttered while calculatingly watching Gu Mo.
"Hey! Zi, calm down first..."
Not far away, Gu Mo’s eye twitched several times; he genuinely didn’t know that Zi had a latent potential for dark, obsessive love.
Why did this sound so dangerous...
Taking a deep breath, he dodged the swirling Technique and the waves formed by intersecting abilities, reluctantly pondering how he should explain.
Though, indeed during his history of becoming an emperor, events occurred, but he didn’t have much concept, it was just a record of fused timelines...
As for the current situation, it left one speechless. It could only be said that some had ulterior motives, while others simply found the chaos amusing, not minding the size of the commotion. But initially, besides Kazami Yuuka—who cared for no one, just being her own Flower Tyrant—others just had thoughts.
No one took action—
Until Shirotsubaki abruptly tried to break out with him, which sent a misleading signal.
Just like the Loli Vampire Lady didn’t know Shirotsubaki was once an All-Purpose Puppet he created, many others naturally didn’t know either. And Shirotsubaki’s sudden action reasonably triggered Remilia and her group’s chain reaction.
Thus, to many, it seemed as if the unrelated Red Demon Mansion crew could join in, suddenly they felt confident. Plus, figures like Ibuki Suika who actually couldn’t comprehend the situation, just simply felt the scene had become lively and should join in herself...
——The scene became thoroughly chaotic.
In reality, were there even that many people!!
However, Yakumo Zi had apparently reached a state of paranoia—interpreted literally—viewing someone with contempt, expressing utter distrust in that person’s social circle, be it gods, demons, or ghosts, all could potentially be enemies!
Now she seemed even more assured of this conclusion...
Looking around the scene, even he felt despair at the number of girls drawn in, yet Gu Mo still tried to calm emotions, prevent situation escalation, continuing as it was wasn’t a viable course.
"I have a word, please listen, everyone... hey hey hey!" He earnestly appealed, promptly swatting away several demon techniques aimed directly at him, his eye involuntarily twitching. "I’d appreciate if you all gave me some face..."
