Marvel: Why should I save you? We are close friends.

"Welcome to my aquarium~!" Lily of the Valley plunged her hands into the sewage gushing out of the ground, and the entire street was instantly surrounded by a ten-meter-high wall of water.

Asari Ugetsu's clogs sank into the suddenly liquefied asphalt road surface, and water with a pressure of over two hundred atmospheres squeezed in from all directions.

Shark-like creatures emerge from the high-pressure water, their teeth acting as spinning propellers.

Chao Li Yu Yue's eyes were determined. He held the handle of the simple long sword at his waist with his backhand. The moment the rain ring inlaid on the scabbard touched the water flow,

Ripples appeared, layer upon layer, as if resonating with the water vapor between heaven and earth.

The first "shark" slammed into the blade with an indomitable momentum, but at the moment of contact, the water within a five-meter radius seemed to be frozen in time, falling into absolute stillness, and even the falling water drops were frozen in mid-air.

"Requiem: Sanzu River Overture. Calm."

Chao Li Yu Yue murmured an ancient spell, and the blade drew a graceful crescent trajectory in the air. The cut water miraculously maintained the cross-section, like solidified time and space, forming a sharp contrast with the turbulent outside world.

With the help of this mysterious power, he stepped on the solidified water and jumped out of the encirclement as lightly as walking on water. The tip of the knife lightly touched the water surface, stirring up circles of delicate ripples.

"Rain brings peace to all things." Chao Li Yu Yue's voice echoed gently on the quiet water, as if carrying a tranquility and power from ancient times, making everything around it quiet.

His eyes were deep and peaceful, as if he could see through the essence of all things in the world.

At this moment, a sharp scream broke the silence. It was the voice of lily of the valley.

She slapped the water frantically, and the originally calm wall of water suddenly boiled, as if stirred by an invisible force.

Under her control, hundreds of tons of sewage turned into a giant mouth with sharp teeth, biting towards Chao Li Yuyue with destructive force.

However, the moment this huge mouth touched the first generation Rain Guardian, it seemed to have encountered an insurmountable barrier and instantly fell apart.

All the water within three feet around him became as viscous as glue, and where the blade passed, only ripples appeared, which gradually decayed, and could not cause any harm to him at all.

Seeing her attack being so easily resolved, Linglan's expression turned extremely ugly. She screamed angrily: "It's not fun! It's not fun at all!"

As she spoke, she tore off her soaked skirt, and her legs instantly turned into flowing water columns, deeply inserted into the ground.

As she moved, the entire Hell's Kitchen sewer system began to pulsate violently, and sewage poured into the underground pipe network like a tide, forming an over-pressure torrent that seemed to swallow up everything.

Chao Li Yu Yue's face was solemn. He suddenly pressed down the violently vibrating scabbard, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

At this moment, there came a metallic whine like a sinking submarine under his feet, and deep sea water with a smell of rust began to seep out of the ground, as if something was awakening from deep underground.

Fish-scale patterns appeared on Linglan's skin, and her voice became like an echo from the deep sea: "Let me show you the real sea that Master Bailan has given me!"

As she spoke, she waved her hands, and countless phantoms of drowned people emerged from the surging water. They stretched out their pale claws, grabbed the corners of Chao Li Yuyue's clothes and dragged her down.

The blade of the first generation Yu Ming was suddenly covered with a layer of mist, and the blade that slashed through the ghost made a buzzing sound like a church bell, as if it could purify all evil and filth.

At a certain moment, Linglan was surprised to see the purified undead put their hands together in the sword light, as if to thank Chao Li Yuyue for his salvation.

"The little girl who uses the souls of the dead as weapons." Chao Li Yu Yue's voice penetrated the water pressure. He stepped on the water ripples that appeared and disappeared, step by step, approaching Linglan.

"Have you ever heard the real sea crying?" His eyes were full of compassion and helplessness.

"Requiem Finale!"

Chao Li Yu Yue whispered, and the moment the blade pierced the water, all the raging water flows suddenly calmed down, as if suppressed by a mysterious force.

"Illusion?" Linglan was surprised to find that the huge wave she controlled had turned into a mirror, reflecting the scene before she joined Millefiore:

The beach of Okinawa fishing village,

The fishing boat crushed by Bai Lan's submarine,

And the painful night when he burned the ring into his collarbone to gain strength.

Those images pierced her heart like sharp blades.

"It's the resonance of rain." Chao Li Yuyue's knife tip gently dropped to the ground, and the purified water flow swirled around his body, as if cheering for him, "Every drop of rain is telling the truth."

His voice was gentle yet firm, as if it could heal all the pain and trauma.

Lily of the Valley laughed wildly as she detonated the ring on her chest. Tentacles of the deep-sea mutant emerged from beneath her skin and pounced towards Chao Li Yu Yue with destructive force.

However, all attacks were strangely slowed down before they hit him, and eventually condensed into suspended water droplets, as if restrained by an invisible force.

The blade flashed, and the girl's ears rang with the sound of rain in Kyoto in the 13th century - that was the "Munian no Chi" that caused the dirty water to separate when Asari Ugetsu slashed at her old enemy.

At that moment, Lily of the Valley seemed to see the root of her sin and the hope of redemption.

"The final chapter of the requiem needs to be written by the souls of sinners." Chao Li Yu Yue murmured to himself, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

As Mare's ring clanged to the ground, the sky above Hell's Kitchen was instantly covered by dark clouds.

Then, an unprecedented rainstorm poured down, fierce and resolute, as if it was the purest force of nature, vowing to thoroughly wash away every trace of sin and filth on this land.

The raindrops are like arrows, piercing through the night and the haze in people's hearts, bringing a long-lost coolness and purification.

The rain gradually subsided until it stopped completely, and the whole world seemed to be reshuffled and brand new.

Chao Li Yu Yue slowly put the long sword in his hand back into the sheath. The last drop of blood remaining on the tip of the sword gently slid down with his movement and merged into the embrace of the earth.

He turned around and looked at the land washed by rain behind him. It seemed as if the blood and sin had never existed, leaving only cleanliness and tranquility.

Not far away, Lily of the Valley was kneeling beside a puddle that had become clear and transparent again. Her eyes were fixed on her own distorted reflection in the water. The reflection gradually became clearer on the calm water after the rain, as if it was a reflection of her inner world.

She murmured to herself, her voice as thin as a mosquito: "So the sea...is supposed to be so gentle?"

The next second, the lily of the valley turned into countless tiny raindrops, slowly rose into the air, and finally dissipated among the blue sky and white clouds, as if she had never existed.

Chao Li Yu Yue looked up at the sky. The sky after the rain was unusually clear. A few white clouds were wandering leisurely. The sunlight shone through the clouds, casting mottled light and shadows.

"The rain has stopped!"

Suddenly, a gorgeous rainbow appeared on the horizon. It was colorful and spanned the sky, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
