Chapter 1170: So Strong, Can't Win
The Fourth True Ancestor!?
He actually appeared on this island after all!
The unimaginable magical pressure almost made her unable to stand straight. Such vast, ocean-like magical power—no one but a True Ancestor could possess it!
Sayaka's face instantly turned extremely grim.
The master's words had come completely true!
And this guy was even talking about being the island's master, the world's master, and such things. Could he really be aiming to conquer the world?
That would completely disrupt the currently stabilizing international situation, causing countless casualties and the disappearance of many nations in the flames of war!
Sayaka's thoughts were turbulent, but she didn't utter a single extra word.
This Fourth True Ancestor seemed full of ambition. Criticizing him now might bring about fatal consequences—this wasn't the time to speak carelessly.
At the very least, she needed to send the message back to the Lion King Organization headquarters, bring the Snow Glimmer Wolf, and have a figure of the Three Saints level step in before they could have the confidence to negotiate with the Fourth True Ancestor!
"...It seems we have offended."
Sayaka took a deep breath, using curse techniques to barely support her body as she struggled to kneel upright.
"In this state, I cannot properly pay respects. I believe the Fourth True Ancestor will understand."
She lowered her posture, not daring to be the slightest bit disrespectful, like a subject meeting an emperor.
This wasn't shameful.
In fact, when meeting the other True Ancestors, ordinary people were expected to pay respects like this because True Ancestors were essentially emperors of their nations—absolute rulers who tolerated no disrespect.
Although this Fourth True Ancestor didn't yet have that level of influence, it was better to be cautious for now.
If he thought she wasn't treating him with the same reverence as the other True Ancestors and felt looked down upon, that would be disastrous.
The armored figure slightly nodded, indeed not holding it against her.
This eased Sayaka's mind a little, and her eyes flickered.
"Might I ask what brings the Fourth True Ancestor here?"
"Boom!"
As soon as she finished speaking, another wave of heavy pressure suddenly struck!
Sayaka's vision blurred, and her body heavily crashed to the ground, her soft skin pressed tightly against the floor, completely unable to lift herself.
Was it magical pressure again?
No, this was different—this was gravitational pressure?!
"Do I need to explain what I do on my own island to you?"
The armored figure slowly descended from the sky, uttering arrogant words.
So petty!
Sayaka felt greatly indignant. This True Ancestor was really petty!
I even addressed you as "lord," and you couldn't show a little magnanimity when I asked a couple of questions?
And you want to conquer the world like this!
"There's a difference between what should be said and what shouldn't be said in this world. Do I need to teach you that?"
The armored figure raised a hand.
Sayaka was instantly alarmed.
A tyrant!
This Fourth True Ancestor was a true tyrant!
But this was bad!
Could I really die here today?
But silently.
A figure stepped in front of her, throwing a fist like a cannonball toward the opponent!
"Boom!"
In the brief explosion, Sayaka was first stunned, then her expression drastically changed.
"You dare throw a punch at me?"
The armored man remained motionless.
Like in the simplest game of rock-paper-scissors, he firmly caught the incoming fist in his palm.
The punch that had shattered Rudolf's powered suit couldn't shake him in the slightest.
With a crackle, golden lightning flickered in his palm.
"I can't win this!"
Eiji immediately took a step back, dodging the golden electric light.
He exclaimed in surprise.
"This person is too strong!"
"Then why did you even attack!"
Sayoka wished she could roar like a lion.
Is this idiot out of his mind?
That's a True Ancestor over there—one of the world's few top-tier experts, a terrifying figure capable of destroying nations. How dare you throw a punch at him? No matter how bold you are, you shouldn't be this reckless!
"Hmph."
The armored man raised his hand, the silhouette of a golden lion faintly visible behind him.
Sayoka was instantly startled.
A Familiar Beast!
A True Ancestor's Familiar Beast, as calamitous as a natural disaster!
This petty True Ancestor is really angered, isn't he!
"Hmm?"
But suddenly, the armored man let out a soft sound of surprise.
As if he had noticed something, he immediately abandoned the two before him, grabbed Rudolf's foot, and lifted him upside down.
Then, under the effect of anti-gravity, his figure shot straight up into the sky.
Soon, he vanished without a trace.
The pressure of magical energy and gravity disappeared in an instant.
"This…"
The sudden turn of events left both of them stunned.
What just happened?
The True Ancestor, who was so arrogant and domineering just moments ago, why did he run off and disappear so suddenly?
"Tap, tap, tap—"
Soon after, a series of footsteps approached from afar.
"Crap, it's the security team!"
Eiji panicked instantly.
"I'm a law-abiding citizen! I can't have a black mark with the security team! Sayoka, I'll leave this to you. Whatever you do, don't give me away!"
Before the words even faded, he took a step.
Right before Sayoka's eyes, his figure vanished into thin air.
Sayoka was dumbfounded.
Wait.
Why?
Both parties involved left the scene within ten seconds?
Now I'm the only one left!
"Ah, I'm so exhausted…"
Sayoka simply lay down on the ground.
The events she encountered today felt unusually overwhelming. The mental and physical fatigue was so profound that she didn't even want to get up now.
"Target area reached."
"Several unconscious targets detected."
"This high school student over here is still awake!"
Soon after.
Figures clad in black combat suits converged from all directions, surrounding the middle-aged vampire, Astarte, and Sayoka.
Sayoka stood up, ready to face all sorts of questions.
"Such a strong scent of curses. Are you a Maihime of the Lion King Organization?"
At that moment, the hem of a black dress fluttered into view.
Despite it being night, the girl was holding a parasol.
She appeared to be just over ten years old, with skin as pale as a baby's, wearing a black Gothic dress trimmed with lace. Though she looked so young, she exuded an overwhelming sense of authority.
She scrutinized Sayoka with a displeased expression.
"You are… the 'Gap Witch,' Natsuki Minamiya?"
Sayoka was startled once again.
This Demon Sanctuary is truly a place where dragons and tigers hide!
"Little girl, quickly tell me everything that happened here truthfully!"
Nangong Nayue said with a stern face, full of authority.
...
A full three hours later, as the time approached midnight, Sayoka finally walked out of the defense force headquarters building looking utterly exhausted.
"So exhausting..."
This was the second time she had said this today.
After she had revealed everything about the incident, Nangong Nayue had interrogated her for a full three hours!
Especially after she mentioned the matter of the Fourth True Ancestor, Nangong Nayue's expression became exceptionally intense and launched a relentless series of questions at her, such as the other party's appearance characteristics, physical features, tone of voice, and so on.
