Jill's figure traversed several meters in an instant—
clang!
The long sword struck the invisible barrier.
A glint flashed in Jill's eyes.
"Soul Flash - Triple Combo!" Jill slammed her right foot on the table, crushing a piece of the solid wood table!
Three beams of light flashed and traversed space, leaving several large wounds on Hiruko Kagetane's arms.
"Hmph... How interesting." Then, Hiruko Kagetane's face beneath the mask broke into a sinister smile.
"Well, I didn't expect even a virtual device couldn't stop your sword. You're a monster."
"Think what you will—" Jill sneered, "He's nothing but a clown."
"Ah, that's settled then. I'll be going now, Gil-kun. This is a gift for you."
Despite having several deep, bone-revealing wounds on his arms, Hiruko Kagetane was not affected in his movements.
He spread a white cloth in his hand and, as if by magic, placed a box tied with silk on the table.
“Then we should take our leave. Despair, my fellow police officers, for your day of destruction is near. Let’s go, Hina.”
"Yes, Dad."
The two walked leisurely to the window, broke it, and jumped down with nonchalant grace.
Jill did not stop them.
Rather, it's good to let some people experience despair.
Hmph... Let's see if you can bring me enough pleasure. Anyway, I can handle that monster. I can also complete the side quest.
Jill chuckled softly.
The atmosphere at the scene became somber.
As a heavy silence enveloped the scene, a panicked man suddenly rushed into the conference room: "Something terrible has happened! The...the president...the president has been murdered at home! The...the body's head is gone!"
Everyone turned their attention to the box.
Blood slowly seeped from the bottom of the box...
Chapter Ninety: The Face-to-Face Meeting – That's All That's Said
At this point, the meeting could no longer continue.
The Holy Emperor added a final sentence: "The situation has taken an unusual turn. Gentlemen, please allow me to add the conditions for fulfilling this request. It is imperative to retrieve the suitcase before the man who attempted to seize it, or very serious consequences will ensue."
“Your Majesty, you’d better explain exactly what the ‘Seven Stars’ Legacy’ in that box is—” Jill turned around, “None of us are willing to risk our lives for something unknown and for the government’s so-called forced commission. I dare say, apart from me, no one here can deal with that man!”
"..." The Holy Emperor remained silent.
Jill simply sighed, "Sorry, I was too harsh."
Jill jumped off the table.
Many people looked at the spot where Jill had trampled.
Damn... if this guy weren't the wrong age, he'd really be mistaken for a cursed child... those red eyes are terrifying.
"Alright, the box contains the legacy of the Seven Stars. If misused by bad people, it will destroy the barrier of the giant stone monument and trigger the designated seal of the [Great Extinction] in the D-Kyo region." Finally, the Holy Emperor revealed the truth.
Jill walked back to Kushina's side. "What do you think of that guy?"
"Sorry... Boss, I can only fight him for about seventy rounds... This ranking is from half a year ago. I haven't been on a mission for half a year, so I'm not sure about the current situation... At least I can guarantee that if I, Chu Jun, and Tu Fang go together, we can last half an hour against him... Of course, I'm not sure about Yu Lian and Xiao Ye."
"Is that so... After all, the fight was a bit short... Never mind." Jill shook her head. "Let's go back first."
"Your Excellency Gil, His Majesty the Holy Emperor requests your presence."
After the meeting, a young man in black said this.
“…” Gil frowned.
"Never mind... Kushina, Yuren, you two go back first... and while you're at it, bring some of those scumbags along too."
After Jill finished speaking, she left with the man in black.
"...Yu Lian, when you go back, remember to take Mr. Satomi and Ms. Tendo with you."
"understood……"
……
Jill boarded a special car and arrived at the building in front of her, known as the Holy House.
Gil clicked his tongue. To be honest, he wasn't very good at dealing with a young girl like the Holy Emperor.
Even if you're not good at it, you still have to face it.
So Jill led them to the reception room.
Jill sighed. "This is troublesome. I'm afraid they're going to give me something to do again."
“It’s normal for the Red King to think that way…” As this voice rang out, a girl in a pure white dress appeared in Gil’s eyes.
"Well, what is it about His Majesty the Holy Emperor that he summoned me here this time?" Gil asked.
"...Regarding the Seven Stars' legacy...I hope you, Gil, can lend a hand."
“No,” Jill said, pouting.
"Eh?" The Holy Emperor was clearly not expecting Gil to answer like that.
“Speaking of which, that old bastard isn’t here,” Jill glanced at her. “Without him, aren’t you afraid you’ll suffer some losses at my hands?”
"Actually, Gil is a very gentle person... He wouldn't make things difficult for me, right?" The Holy Emperor smiled slightly.
“…Sigh…” Jill sighed.
This is the kind of guy he's worst at dealing with.
Jill excels at dealing with tough opponents; if they're tough, he retaliates with even tougher tactics.
Of course, if the other party plays dirty tricks on him, he doesn't mind using even dirtier methods to get back at them.
What he is least adept at dealing with is a kind and benevolent person like the Holy Emperor.
...I'm not good at it at all.
Jill's original words were, "It's like punching cotton; you have the strength but can't use it."
"Does Your Majesty have anything else to do? If not, I must go back. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with in Homra."
"...No, actually I really hope that you, Gil, can take action and reclaim the Seven Stars' legacy."
"Is it that thing that can summon the Zodiac?" Jill asked knowingly.
The Zodiac is a collective term for Gastrea of Stage V, which are terrifying monsters that exceed Stage IV. During the Gastrea War, the United States and Japan gave them the names of the twelve zodiac signs as temporary code names, which are now the common names. There are eleven sightings worldwide. They displayed terrifying combat power in the great war ten years ago and were once on the verge of extinction for humanity.
It has a huge body that far exceeds the size of Stage IV, a hard outer skin that is completely ineffective against ordinary weapons, molecular-level regeneration ability, and the ability to be unaffected by the magnetic field of the megalith.
“Once that kind of thing leaks out, I don’t believe His Majesty the Holy Emperor wouldn’t understand the seriousness of the matter.” Gil sneered. “There’s a saying, ‘It’s hard to guard against a thief within the family…’”
"That's all I have to say. I'm just a member of a small, grassroots organization, and I won't say any more," Jill said, preparing to leave.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot…” Gilles looked at the Holy Emperor, “Those two people are not simple characters. If you’re too kind, you won’t be able to properly govern the country… although I don’t dislike you for that…”
"Alright, that's all, bye-bye..." Jill waved and left the Holy House.
"..." The Holy Emperor watched Gil leave in silence.
There was something Jill said that really bothered her.
However, she was, after all, a ruler, and quickly suppressed her unease, walking towards the door.
……
Jill herself returned to Homra.
Of course, he took the tram home.
He naturally knew who was giving instructions here.
Tendou Kikunojo... that old bastard.
Jill clenched her fist tightly.
Does that old bastard really not want his children to be happy?
In fact, there was no real personal conflict between Gil and Kikunojo Tendo.
If there is one, it's easy to solve. Jill can simply use the Gate of Babylon to reveal his true name and give the Tendo family a thorough baptism.
However, there was no personal conflict.
As the saying goes, a cornered dog will jump over a wall. Jill formed the Homra because she had her concerns and could no longer do whatever she wanted as she had in the previous worlds.
He dared not gamble on how much power Tendou Kikunojo possessed.
Although the omniscient and omnipotent star has the ability to foresee events, it cannot guarantee that every point will be correct.
The future can be changed.
Jill has done this more than once.
The Sword of Damocles was destroyed.
He decisively killed Archer, who was prophesied to kill him...
All of this proves that the future is not absolute.
He had to ensure absolute success... He had to use the final blow—a fatal strike to annihilate the entire Tiantong faction—with all the things he could do!
The author can't think of a title for Chapter Ninety-One...
Sitting on the tram, Gil felt inexplicably sleepy, so he yawned and dozed off for a moment.
……
A golden space.
