A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

Seeing the battle end in the distance, Jiang Yang sighed. The power of an individual is insignificant, and Jiang Yang realized once again how true this statement was.

Of course, as I said before, if you're so strong that one person can surpass the combined combat power of everyone else, then Jiang Yang didn't say anything.

For example, Mr. E will tell you what it means that more people do not necessarily mean greater strength.

Although the battle was over, Jiang Yang did not go there.

Please, this is a water park. Although there aren't many people here today because it's a weekday, there are still tourists. The fight just now didn't last long, but it was quite noisy.

People had already gathered to watch, so it was best to slip away first.

Of course, it's up to others to slip away. After all, he's just a passerby.

There are actually many instances like today where battles are witnessed by ordinary people.

The reason it didn't spread was because the internet wasn't as developed as it is now, so information didn't spread as quickly, and there was also information blocking by AI.

All of these factors combined make the existence of the Orphnoch something akin to an urban legend. After all, those who have never actually seen one cannot imagine its existence.

The outcome was somewhat different from what Jiang Yang had imagined. None of the three ran away; they all deactivated their transformations on the spot. None of the onlookers dared to approach; they all kept their distance, seemingly frightened.

After that, the ambulance arrived and took Inukai away. The remaining people began a three-way meeting, a meeting of camps led by Takumi, Kiyotaka Nishida, and Soga. Jiang Yang did not attend.

Kiyotaka Nishida did call Jiang Yang to encourage him to participate.

But, to put it simply, even if Jiang Yang went, it wouldn't really make any difference. If nothing unexpected happens, Kusaka will bring up the alliance, and Nishida Kiyotaka won't refuse, nor will Mari.

Since he had no grudge against Soga, at least not yet, he had no reason to refuse. Besides, who knows, he might not even be allowed to participate in the internal meetings of the Meteor Academy.

In short, things shouldn't go wrong over there. When Soga isn't causing trouble, he's quite reliable. With him around, there shouldn't be any problems.

In addition, Jiang Yang told them that after the meeting, Cao Jia should not leave yet, but come to find him.

Although she didn't know Jiang Yang's purpose, Cao Jia did not refuse.

As for Jiang Yang's purpose, it was, of course, to guard the corpse.

Young people don't know any martial ethics. Since the AI ​​has been thoroughly angered, we need to weaken it as quickly as possible. J is the easiest one to take action against.

Just kill him once, then camp his corpse, and unleash your ultimate when he respawns. There's no such thing as an invincible respawn frame in the real world.

"Don't worry, I'll find someone to take good care of Chuck."

This was the only thing Jiang Yang could do for J, at least it would give her some peace of mind before she passed away.

The reason for calling Kusaka over was twofold: firstly, just in case; it would be very embarrassing if the body got away while they were guarding it.

Secondly, just in case, what if someone comes looking for J? To avoid being ambushed, it's better to leave someone to go with them.

Once bitten, twice shy.

Anyone who frequently launches surprise attacks knows that being ambushed is extremely unpleasant, while launching a surprise attack is incredibly satisfying.

J didn't know exactly when he would be resurrected, maybe in a few hours, but it wouldn't be too long. J was worried about Chuck and couldn't let him wait too long.

However, it's certain that it won't be now.

So he called Soga again and asked him to buy some food suitable for Chuck when he came.

Waiting can be boring if you do nothing.

Jiang Yang took out his old notebook. Although there were no major problems yet, he was certain that the plot of this world had gone astray.

He needs to prepare first.

The primary task is still to find Saya. With Saya's Delta, we can then use a righteous five-on-one attack to punish Kitasaki. Faiz has already obtained the speed watch, and he will also try using IXA's lock-on effect to see if it works on Kitasaki.

Just to be on the safe side, let Kitasaki borrow the ixa belt from Nishida for a while; it's not difficult. Kitasaki's always looking for something fun, so he shouldn't refuse to wear the belt.

Then it was time to work on another lobster, Orphnoch.

After some thought, Jiang Yang had a general idea.

Kaidou lost the Faiz belt, betraying the president's trust. According to the rules, he should be executed, and the executioner will most likely be Takuma. It's probably going to happen in the next day or two.

We must act swiftly and decisively, giving him no chance to react or escape.

Lobster Sister, Jiang Yang can only wait for her to make her appearance. Speaking of which, could that iron fist when he was ambushed earlier have been Lobster Orphnoch?

In short, this child must not be allowed to live.

Once the lucky four-leaf clovers are cleared out, it will be time for the final assault on Murakami Kyoji.

King Orphnoch, this can't be rushed, we can only wait for him to appear on his own.

Jiang Yang was actually quite conflicted about King Orphino.

If the story follows the original plot, King Orphnoch will be resurrected in his children later on. What will he do then?

Should we kill the child directly to prevent the birth of King Ogre, or wait for King Ogre to revive and the child to die before engaging in a team battle against King Ogre?

Yes, that child is going to die no matter what.

He himself was the cocoon that gave birth to King Owen; the moment King Owen was born was also the moment he died.

Reason told him that killing the vessel in advance was the simplest way. Firstly, it would kill King O sooner, and secondly, it would reduce the child's suffering.

But Jiang Yang wanted to say, to hell with rationality.

He still has time; perhaps he can research how to separate the King of Ao and his carrier beforehand. Jiang Yang doesn't understand research, but others do. The flower-shaped creature is still alive at this point; perhaps they can consult him for medical advice. The prerequisite is that he won't kill it outright.

If it were Kyoka, he probably wouldn't have this problem; he would just kill him directly.

Of course, Kusaka Masato isn't a serial killer; he's just willing to do anything to destroy the Orphnoch. He'd even abandon the truth.

Besides these, there's another thing: my own system. I've already reached level 25, and I can get bonus points for consecutive battles in a short period of time, but I still don't have a chance to draw prizes even though I've reached level 25.

I don't know if there will be another chance. Maybe I'll get something useful next time.

Time passed second by second, and J's revival had not yet begun even after Kusaka arrived.

"How about it?"

Jiang Yang refers to their alliance.

"Let's say we agreed to fight Orphnoch together."

Cao Jia didn't explain the process, and Jiang Yang didn't intend to ask; as long as the result was good, that was enough.

"Why do you want me to buy this? I went to so many places to find it."

Kusaka handed over a bag.

"You'll find out later."

About half an hour passed, the sun set, and dusk arrived. It was at this moment that an incredible scene unfolded.

The ashes that had been scattered by the wind began to gather and slowly pile up to form a human shape.

"This is!"

Kusaka was so surprised he couldn't speak.

"Yes, this is it. Don't let him get away."

Jiang Yang stood up and transformed into IXA, then activated his burst mode, IXA Holy Sword, and inserted the ultimate whistle to read the attack.

Soga also opened the box and took out the Caesar Belt, but did not transform immediately. He wanted to see what the real IXA's strength was like.

He learned from Kiyotaka Nishida that there were two IXA systems, and that the one Jiang Yang had was stronger than the original IXA and had fewer side effects.

He wanted to see what IXA was capable of.

His teammates' strength is linked to his boldness; if his teammates are strong enough, he can declare war directly.

Jiang Yang didn't say anything. After all, Kusaka wasn't Tachibana-senpai; he would have intervened if anything unexpected happened. It shouldn't be an OMO, right?
