At this mont, ti seed to freeze.
Or rather, a terrifying oppression akin to solidifying ti descended upon the space, causing Emily's skin to prickle with goosebumps.
She had already received news from Morimoto Chiyoda, knowing that the Holy Lord had left the residence.
The appearance of this monster, transford by the Holy Lord, here indicated that the Holy Lord was nearby.
Yet she clung to a glimr of hope, unwilling to acknowledge that possibility.
Emily's heart felt as if it was gripped tightly by an invisible hand, and her small hands clenched instinctively.
In her wide-eyed stare, an inhuman figure descended from the sky onto the river's surface.
His presence abruptly halted the advancing shadow soldiers.
Emily felt a chill seep into her heart as if the color drained from her lips; she hadn't imagined she'd ever face such an important day.
If this were a book, it would probably be titled "Those Years, Crazy for My Yandere Angel Envoy"
Emily looked at the Holy Lord before her.
With the head of a dragon and the body of a man, simply standing there, he exerted a suffocating pressure akin to a barehanded human facing a bomber.
Other than awaiting slaughter, there was no other path to take.
"Lord Holy Lord!"
Takeshita Kensaku, full of delight, felt his terror vanish, swelling with arrogance.
With him here, the shadow soldiers before them were like re trifles.
"Trash."
Aozawa glanced down at him, causing his fear to return and he hastily cried, "No, don't!"
His eyes slightly heated up, and under Emily's shocked gaze,
Takeshita Kensaku rapidly twisted from left to right, contorting into a pretzel shape, with his volu continuously shrinking.
Popping noises rang out, yet not a drop of blood splattered.
Since Aozawa directly twisted Takeshita Kensaku's body and not a non-human existence, no blood splattered outward.
In the blink of an eye, Takeshita Kensaku was twisted and reduced to the size of a potato chip.
Aozawa grabbed Takeshita Kensaku, using Marked Detonation, black chrysanthemum patterns surged on the surface, but since he was holding them, no outsider could see the black chrysanthemum patterns.
Pop, a light sound.
Takeshita Kensaku gently dissipated in his palm.
Aozawa cast a glance at Emily, and just a gaze made her shoulder tremble in fright, her heart fluttering.
Katerina turned and led her away from there.
Aozawa did not pursue but instead used his gamification ability to transform the surroundings and create a ga character.
Having set everything up, Aozawa looked at Katerina, who had run a hundred ters away, his complete distortion ability activated.
In an instant, the bodies of the shadow soldiers blocking the way twisted, along with their heads, turning into black qi and dissipating, while the river water churned.
The invisible power of distortion suddenly took shape, spiraling swiftly forward.
The riverbanks on both sides were twisted and torn, debris tumbling in the air, mixing into the river like a roaring dragon.
The thunderous commotion made Emily turn her head for a glance, only to feel herself about to et a grim fate yet again.
...
In the nick of ti, the shadows on the river's surface suddenly grew extrely dense.
The next mont, a pitch-black wall stood before Emily.
It was unclear whether it was distorted, but all the light and sound seed completely engulfed by that black wall.
Emily looked at the scene before her and instantly understood that only the Shadow Emperor possessed the power to block the Holy Lord.
As she thought about this, the black wall in front of her quickly retracted, forming a tall figure she recognized.
He wore a pitch-black crown, his whole body shrouded in a flowing black cloak.
Silently, the black mist spread around like a tide.
Katerina looked at the black mist pounding at her feet, her heart racing as she murmured, "Could this be...?"
"The Shadow Emperor of xico."
Emily replied softly, urging, "Let's hurry and go."
"Hmm."
Katerina did not linger; although she was a rcenary who had participated in many wars, she was not particularly interested in the chaos of war, and even less in being a spectator.
So, she would not be driven by a craze to witness a battle between two Angel Envoys, even if it cost her life, thinking it worth the price of admission.
She bent her legs, like a monkey climbing a tree, easily scaling the riverbank and sprinting into the distance.
The black mist spread beneath her feet, closely following her.
Murmuring sounds echoed, drones flew overhead, observing the scene before them, yet did not particularly monitor the two of them.
The lenses focused entirely on the Shadow Emperor and the Holy Lord on the riverbank.
...
With black mist lingering, Aozawa watched the Shadow Emperor before him with great interest, feeling as if he was filming a movie.
He was the director, the scriptwriter, and he had even created the actors.
He was fully imrsed in the role and said, "I didn't expect you to submit to Dio, which surprises ."
The Shadow Emperor lightly shook his head, responding with a magnetic voice, "I have never submitted beneath anyone; it's only a matter of mutual interests between Dio and .
Until the final mont, who can assure that the one to ascend to Paradise is Dio and not ?"
"Is that so, since you wish to hinder , I'll have to kill you."
Aozawa's eyes ward, his complete distortion ability activating.
The black mist at the feet of the Shadow Emperor suddenly surged upward, forming wall after wall of darkness in front of him.
Silently, those black walls twisted under the Complete Distortion ability.
The Shadow Emperor's body wavered, and the black aura on his body suddenly expanded rapidly.
In an instant, he reached an enormous size hundreds of ters tall, even surpassing the Tokyo Skytree.
"What is that?" "So, so huge!" "Take photos quickly!"
The onlookers, either astonished or starting to film for social dia, prepared to seize this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity for wealth.
Little did they know, they wouldn't have ti to take photos. The towering Shadow Giant quickly twisted and crumbled, turning into masses of black mist crashing toward the ground.
Each mass of black mist landed silently, then, like a flock of crows returning ho, they rged back together, once again forming the Shadow Emperor.
"Lord Saint, with the abilities you and I possess, there can be no decisive outco; you cannot kill .
Likewise, I cannot kill you."
The Shadow Emperor raised his hand, and Shadow Spikes shot towards Aozawa, but under the Complete Distortion ability, they all twisted, unable to even touch his body.
"Why don't we let our subordinates decide on certain matters?"
"It seems we have no other choice."
Aozawa spoke, looking up, his eyes heating up as he directly twisted the space.
The twisted space was unseen to the naked eye, but he could comprehend the extent to which the sky above was warped.
A distance of several hundred ters was twisted to require only a single step to traverse.
Such a crazy distortion of space could shred any intruders.
Aozawa wasn't afraid.
It's not that the Complete Distortion ability couldn't harm its user, but in the state of Schrodinger's Cat, his body remained eternally unchanged, and would not be distorted.
All he needed was a powerful leap upward to perceive the twisted space and pass through.
In an instant, Aozawa appeared several hundred ters in the air, exhibiting speed akin to teleportation.
He looked down and undid his Gamification ability, watching the River Shadow vanish at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Afterwards, Aozawa didn't forget to twist the distorted space back in the opposite direction to its original form.
His body descended.
Aozawa, calmly, focused his gaze towards the direction of the Setagaya District, activating his Complete Distortion once again.
Space transford into a spiral passage.
As he fell, he appeared above the Setagaya District, tilting his head to twist the distorted space counterclockwise back to normal.
Once restored, Aozawa continued his descent.
Among the many residences, he found one with an unusual tree, distorting space again to slide smoothly back to the front of the residence's gate.
With the distorted space restored, he stepped inside.
The ga's ti was always short, and the night was soon to pass.
His Gamification ability activated.
Aozawa intended to create a substitute for the Lord Saint to sit in his place.
...
"Mr. Bruno, that's settled then."
In an obscure room in the Arakawa District, Phoenix Academy Maggie and Bruno finalized their agreent, with the Pri Minister's residence to provide facilitation.
The KGB would provide tools to jointly counter-surveil the CIA, complenting each other.
Military surveillance equipnt is not like contraband drugs or weapons; there are no channels for its circulation in the underworld.
The Pri Minister's residence could produce it, but such actions would inevitably alert the CIA, prompting them to question its purpose.
Only the KGB could secretly provide a complete set of surveillance equipnt.
However, even the KGB needed soone to cover them, to transport more surveillance equipnt from Russia, otherwise, it might be intercepted upon entry.
The two reached this agreent.
Phoenix Academy Maggie turned and left the place.
Upon leaving the apartnt, she received a call, "Miss, everything needed for the sports festival is ready."
"Good, I'll be back soon."
Phoenix Academy Maggie hung up the phone, aware that Kai Bunta had important information to report to her.
She quickly boarded an outwardly ordinary van, modified secretly to be bulletproof, not to ntion having a formidable engine, making it a completely non-compliant vehicle.
"Return to the Imperial Household Agency."
Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't fasten her seatbelt, her current physical condition didn't require such protection.
Moreover, fastening it would be too conspicuous.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Takahashi Saeko smiled, "Roger that."
She quickly started the vehicle, speeding back to the Imperial Palace.
Along the way, the van drove recklessly, treating running red lights as commonplace.
Traffic police turned a blind eye.
The license plate was the reason they were willing to pretend they didn't see it.
Driving through Hanzomon, they arrived at the Imperial Household Agency, where Takahashi Saeko parked, unfastened her seatbelt, and said, "Miss, you can get out now."
Phoenix Academy Maggie opened the door, nimbly jumped down, and hurried to the office, pushing the door open, "Kai, what's going on?"
Kai Bunta quickly took a drone-captured video, "Our people fild a scene of the Shadow Emperor and the Lord Saint in combat, and now we can preliminarily conclude that Enya is either Katerina or Emily.
This is the footage from the scene."
