Seeing Yun Fan remain silent, Lynx assumed he was doubting the truth of her words, which made her utterly furious. In the heat of the moment, she made a decision that would leave her embarrassed for a long time.
And that was…
Feeling the softness in his hand, Yun Fan was even more stunned. Was Lynx really this bold? But… she was unexpectedly well-endowed. This size… had to be at least a C-cup, right? Qingque's flat chest couldn't even compare.
Who would've guessed? Was it because of her thick winter coat? Yun Fan instinctively gave a light squeeze, causing Lynx to let out a pitiful whimper. Only then did she snap out of her rage-fueled daze.
Staring at Yun Fan's actions and feeling the strange sensation, Lynx finally realized what kind of absurd thing she had done in her fit of anger.
And now, the two of them were standing right in front of the Goth Grand Hotel, with passersby from the Underworld giving them suggestive or lewd looks. Witnessing this scene, Lynx felt her blood boil, her vision blurring—she was so overwhelmed with embarrassment that she fainted on the spot.
"Huh? She passed out just like that? Pfft… how adorable." Yun Fan chuckled, then picked Lynx up in a princess carry. After exchanging a few words with the front desk, he carried her toward their pre-booked room.
Knock knock knock—!
Yun Fan rapped on the door symbolically before pushing it open. Inside, March 7th, who had been about to get up and answer the door, froze in place as he walked in.
"Hey, did you miss me?"
"Yeah, I missed—missed your head, you idiot!" March 7th facepalmed, exasperated.
"Wait! Who's that girl in your arms? Where did you kidnap her from?" Only then did March 7th notice the unconscious girl Yun Fan was carrying. Judging by her attire, she wasn't from the Underworld. Had Yun Fan gone all the way to the Overworld during his day away just to abduct someone?
"Ahem, it's a long story. This girl is Lynx, Gepard Landau's younger sister. She was…" Yun Fan briefly explained Lynx's situation before gently placing her on the bed.
"Little March, I'll leave her in your care. I've got some things to take care of. Oh, where's Stelle?" Yun Fan glanced around but didn't see any trace of her.
"Uh, Stelle went to the Fight Club to brawl. Honestly… she's been kinda addicted to it lately…"
"Is that so? Well, it's not a bad thing. Consider it training for her combat skills. Compared to ordinary people, her growth rate is ridiculously fast."
Yun Fan waved it off. Stelle could do as she pleased—maybe some real-world experience would even reignite her dormant Stellaron.
"I'll head out first. See you tonight." After bidding March 7th farewell, Yun Fan left the Goth Grand Hotel alone. Once he was gone, March 7th sighed helplessly at the still-unconscious Lynx and stepped forward to remove her shoes.
"That Yun Fan… really has no idea how to take care of a girl." As a fellow girl, March 7th knew all too well how uncomfortable it'd be to sleep in such thick clothing.
A short while later…
"Th-this is…" Staring at Lynx, now stripped down to her undergarments, March 7th lowered her gaze to her own chest and felt her worldview shatter.
"She's… this big?!"
————————————
"Though I cannot possess this splendid sight, I shall—invite all to witness it together!"
As his declaration echoed, a Mantle of the Underworld bloomed in Blade's eyes. Boundless Path of Destruction energy surged toward Shard Sword, fully merging into the blade. Only when the sword began to crack did Blade cease channeling the destructive power.
"Dan Feng! This strike embodies my life's mastery! Let me witness your Imbibitor Lunae power once more!"
With that, Blade rode the wind, soaring into the sky before transforming into a cyan streak of light—descending like a meteor.
Ultimate Technique—Great Cleave of Ten Thousand Deaths!
"This is bad!" Sensing the destructive force within Blade's strike, Dan Heng's expression changed drastically. He couldn't dodge this. If those cyan sword energies were allowed to strike the ground, half the planet might be shattered. That could not happen.
With a thought, Dan Heng suppressed the Path of the Hunt energy within him. Then, a Path of Destruction force far surpassing Blade's erupted—its terrifying pressure instantly overwhelming Blade's aura.
Meanwhile, elsewhere…
"Sigh… After wandering this frozen Jarilo-VI for so long, I still haven't found anything valuable. What was I even expecting?"
In Belobog's Overworld, Topaz sighed in frustration as she analyzed the data from her sensors. Noticing its owner's exhaustion, Numby nuzzled against Topaz's leg in comfort.
"Aww~ My sweet Numby!" Topaz hugged the little Wapr Trotter, took a deep sniff, then rubbed her cheeks against it before reluctantly setting it down.
"Alright, energy replenished. Next, I'll—Huh?! What's going on?!" Just as Topaz muttered to herself, an overwhelming pressure suddenly descended from the sky, weighing down on everyone equally.
An unstoppable Path of Destruction energy shrouded the heavens, casting the entire sky in gloom. Ordinary people with weaker constitutions fainted outright, while Pathstriders like Topaz were struck with shock and terror.
"Impossible! Destruction energy of this magnitude… Has a Emanator of Destruction set their sights on this planet?!" Topaz stared in disbelief at the darkened sky, where something horrifying seemed to be brewing.
BOOM—!
A deafening explosion shook the heavens and earth. The ground trembled violently as if struck by a magnitude-10 earthquake, and bottomless fissures split the city apart.
"Just what… is happening…?"
