4/5
"You found absolutely nothing?! Are you serious?"
Staring at the report from his subordinates, Cain's mood had reached its lowest point.
This handso man with dazzling blond hair, tall stature, and striking features was the Deputy Director of the Alliance Ergency Response Bureau, one of the gifted elites with Lv8 strength.
After Abyssal Demons appeared on Earth, he imdiately activated a teleportation array and led a special forces team to Earth to contain the demonic disaster.
Although the disaster was successfully resolved, the source of the catastrophe remained unknown.
Therefore, Cain ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, determined to find the source! If the origin of that Shadow power ca from so experint or terrorist attack, he would need to bring the experinters or attackers to justice! But... if that Shadow power ca from a more terrifying entity, he might have no choice but to request aid from the Holy Maiden or other Lv9 powerhouses.
However, after searching for days, the investigation team found nothing.
"We've even collaborated with Earth's Special Affairs Bureau, and still couldn't find anything?! How the hell am I supposed to explain this to the Holy Maiden?!"
It was well known that Earth was one of the few areas directly administered by the Guiding Saint. If sothing truly went wrong, how could he face the Holy Maiden!
But if nothing could be found...
Perhaps the entity that released the Shadow power had already reached an inconceivable level of strength. Otherwise, how could professional equipnt designed to detect Shadow power find absolutely nothing?
"Could it be... an Abyssal Lord?"
Thinking about the Abyssal Demons gathering in the east and the terrifying entity that had burst out of the Trial Space days ago, Cain couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.
Standing atop the skyscraper, Cain anxiously surveyed his surroundings.
Just as Cain was feeling deeply troubled, a voice like heavenly music suddenly reached his ears.
—"Hey, Cain, what are you thinking about?"—
?!!!
Hmm?!!!
The mont he heard this voice, Cain instantly beca alert. This pleasant voice was like a gentle spring breeze, instantly sweeping away the lancholy in Cain's eyes, replacing it with intense excitent and joy.
Hurriedly turning to look behind him, Cain elegantly revealed a smile.
There, where it had been empty before, a stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl had appeared.
The girl had long silver hair like snow, swaying in the breeze. Her hair was as smooth as silk, resembling the waves of a galaxy.
Her features were delicate and three-dinsional, like a treasure crafted by a creator's hand. A bright gemstone was embedded in her forehead, radiating mysterious light. Her light purple eyes were deep and determined, emitting brave and sacred radiance, bright and captivating. Her lips curled up slightly, revealing a touch of enchanting gentleness. Her entire figure exuded nobility and dignity, like a goddess descended to the mortal realm.
A silver lady's dress armor wrapped her body, highlighting her well-proportioned and powerful figure. In the sunlight, the patterns on her armor were faintly visible, like an expensive work of art.
Facing such a silver-haired girl, Cain, despite being one of the gifted elites, lowered his proud head. With a slightly flushed face, he greeted her:
"Hello, Miss ngxi."
Indeed, the person who had appeared before Cain was none other than ngxi. Unlike her previous carefree state, ngxi now wore her exclusive armor, clearly fully ard.
Facing Cain's greeting, ngxi smiled and responded:
"Good morning, Cain. What are you troubled about? That expression?"
"Sigh."
Hearing this, Cain sighed quite shafully:
"It's quite embarrassing, actually. I wanted to investigate the source of the Shadow power from the the park, but after a whole day, we found nothing. Even after scanning the entire Blue Star, we ca up empty-handed. I don't know how to explain this."
"I see... hehe..."
At this, ngxi's lips flashed an almost imperceptible embarrassed smile, and her gaze toward Cain carried a hint of guilt.
Actually, the reason for Cain's fruitless scan was mainly due to ngxi herself.
To prevent Yumo's identity from being discovered, yesterday when the investigation team began scanning Earth, ngxi used her power to shroud Yumo and those little ones. Using the properties of divine power, she suppressed the aura of the Shadow power.
"It's alright, finding nothing is just temporary. I believe you'll find clues later," ngxi reassured him sowhat guiltily.
"Sigh, there won't be another chance."
"Hmm? Why do you say that?"
"The Alliance Central Council issued a resolution this morning. We're no longer responsible for investigating the Abyssal Lord incident. The previous matters concerning the Abyssal Lord will be handled by Lord Heinotim of the Shura Emperor and four other Lv9 beings. They will be responsible for searching for and eliminating the Abyssal Lord. This demonic disaster on Earth is suspected to be related to the Abyssal Lord, so Lord Heinotim is on his way. Once he arrives, there will be nothing left for to do."
Cain said helplessly, his tone carrying a trace of resignation.
He had wanted to find the Abyssal Lord's whereabouts to prove his value.
But in the end, finding nothing and having his work taken over by soone else left Cain feeling disappointed.
anwhile, after hearing Cain's words, ngxi's light purple eyes flashed with an almost imperceptible look of gravity.
"Heinotim, huh?"
That old fossil from the Dark Demon Clan...
Why, of all people, that old ghost?!
And bringing four other Lv9 beings?
I must quickly take Yumo away from here, or they'll definitely discover her.
Clearly, ngxi had no good feelings toward Xue Tianao's father.
...
"It's alright senior. You're capable, and you'll definitely have a chance to prove yourself to your parents later!"
"Thank you for your encouragent, Miss ngxi. You're as kind as ever."
Cain smiled, feeling sowhat relieved.
Then, this blond-haired man looked at ngxi with so seriousness:
"Also, you ca here because you really want to go back to the Trial Space?"
Cain's words carried a hint of concern.
"Such a terrifying monster appeared in the Trial Space! Who knows what the space has been infected with? Soone like you with holy attribute spiritual power would instantly beco a target for the Abyssal Demon horde once you enter! That's very dangerous!"
"I know," ngxi nodded calmly, her eyes fearless and determined, like a warrior with strong conviction.
"You know my responsibility is to complete the trial and save the lives within the trial space! At this point, how could I abandon it halfway? So, do a favor and send back."
"But, but..."
"It's alright. The strongest Lv9 demon lord from the Trial Space has already left. I can handle the remaining Abyssal Demons. Look, I'm a Lv8 now too~"
"Lv8 isn't enough! The expedition team had many Lv8s too! And yesterday, five Lv8s were ergency teleported out. Apparently, they were defeated by so monster wielding a large sword. Clearly, there are still many terrifying creatures in the Trial Space!"
"I know, but I'm not an ordinary Lv8."
As she spoke, seemingly to demonstrate her power, golden spiritual energy more powerful than Cain's suddenly rippled in ngxi's palm.
The formidable aura symbolizing the peak of Lv8 suddenly rushed toward Cain.
"Besides, I understand the situation in Trial Space better than anyone! I can definitely be of great help to the expedition team!!! Help them successfully eliminate the Abyssal Demons in the space!!"
"This, I..."
For a mont, Cain was caught in conflicting emotions.
But after a period of struggle, Cain sighed resignedly:
"Alright, I understand. I'll secretly send you back."
"Really?! Thank you, Cain!!!"
"Hmm..."
Seeing ngxi's beaming face, Cain couldn't help but look away, his face even slightly flushed.
"Just be careful yourself... Also..."
"What is it?"
"These..."
As he spoke, Cain's expression couldn't help but turn strange, and he cast an odd glance at ngxi's chest, shoulders, and head...
"What's going on with these?"
At this mont, ngxi was holding a bouquet of strange small white flowers emitting a cold aura to her chest, while a small white wolf was lying on one of her shoulders, and a small gray bird stood on the other; and on her head? A beautiful red butterfly was perched???
This outfit, no matter how you looked at it, didn't seem like she was going to Trial Space to fight Abyssal Demons! It looked more like a noble lady taking her pets for an outing!!!
And these creatures seed sohow strange.
Approaching the small white wolf, Cain blinked in confusion.
On the other side, seemingly aware of Cain's confusion, ngxi smiled and hurriedly turned to prevent him from continuing to make eye contact with the small white wolf, and spoke with a serious expression:
"Don't worry, they're my secret weapons! Secret weapons for dealing with Abyssal Demons!!"
"Huh?? Secret weapons, these pets that don't even have a spiritual energy aura?"
"They're not pets. They're secret weapons specially cultivated by my mother to deal with Abyssal Demons!"
"Cultivated by the Holy Maiden?"
"Yes. Trust , Cain, with them around, the Abyssal Demons in the Trial Space will be taken care of easily! It won't take any effort at all~"
"Uh, okay."
