Wait, why is this blond guy a lolicon?

"Eurah—"

He threw another punch.

Hengyu's figure traced a tragic parabola.

It crashed squarely into the nearby lava pool, emitting a bloodcurdling scream.

The entire underground space was a scene of apocalypse.

Huge cracks spread and expanded wildly across the ground, walls, and ceiling like a spider web!

The cold, metallic structure twisted and deformed.

Large sections of concrete peeled off, various pipes broke, and high-temperature steam or unidentified liquid was ejected.

Through Observation Haki.

Jiang Ling saw it.

Deepest part of the base.

Beneath those hard layers of rock, creatures beyond description are lifting their terrifying bodies to the surface!

Kuroba's face turned deathly pale with fright at the devastating sight: "Could this be... the 'White King'?! Kujo Maki, she... she really released that thing?!"

"The White King?"

As Jiang Ling, with Hei Yu in her arms, moved quickly through the violently shaking passage, she raised an eyebrow and asked:

"What is that?"

"That's the legendary 'divine beast.' Thousands of years ago, when Indra accompanied Xu Fu to Japan, he slew a Yamata no Orochi. Through years of nurturing and genetic modification, he ultimately created the strongest weapon of the Kujo clan."

Kuroba stared in horror at the collapsing structures around him: "Its skin is said to be able to withstand volcanic lava, and it usually lies dormant in the deepest part of the Wakkanai Trench, sustaining itself on geothermal heat. I never imagined... that it would be awakened to deal with you!"

Jiang Ling smiled, breaking the heavy atmosphere: "You really think highly of me."

"Even nuclear weapons wouldn't be able to destroy that thing," a hint of despair flashed in Kuroba's eyes. "We'd better run..."

"run?"

Jiang Ling suddenly stopped and looked up.

This is... the outer perimeter of the "White House".

"If we run, what will happen to them? In a few minutes, the earthquake will spread here."

Kuroba was startled and followed his gaze to the white room number 01!

Further away, violent tremors were spreading rapidly along the building structure like waves!

They flew into Room 01, where they saw rows of children lying on the grass. There were many children, clearly not just the children in Room 01. They had learned how to simulate an earthquake – running to an open space, lying down with their heads covered, their small bodies trembling with fear, and suppressed sobs rising and falling.

How ironic.

No matter how much knowledge they acquire, the ultimate goal is not to help them grow into outstanding adults, but merely to make their flesh firmer and their spirit "purer" as "nourishment" or "commodity".

Or they could fetch an even higher price when sold to those incredibly wealthy and powerful individuals.

"Waaaah..." A little girl in the crowd caught Kuroba's attention.

She was startled and looked in the direction of the sound in disbelief!

A petite figure, nestled among the children, looked up, her eyes brimming with tears, and gazed in her direction.

Her eyes widened, and she exclaimed incredulously:

"Yang Yu?!!!"

Is it Yang Yu?!

Is it really Yang Yu?!

She's still alive?!

In the middle of the crowd lay a girl, none other than Yang Yu, whom she thought had been "dissected." The little girl was tearful and trembling, looking pitiful.

Jiang Ling said calmly, "I rescued all the children who were sent there for dissection. What you saw was the scene of them processing the previous batch of children."

Overwhelming relief, lingering fear, and ecstatic joy washed over Kuroba's defenses.

She could no longer hold back; tears streamed down her face as she cried out and rushed over:

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry! It's all my fault... Waaah..."

Little Yangyu looked at her in surprise: "Mom!"

"Yes, it's Mom. Waaah... I'm so glad you're okay."

Yang Yu felt a little pain from being hugged, but she could feel "Black Mom's" trembling and hot tears.

Instead, she reached out her little hand and clumsily patted Hei Yu's back, comforting her in a childish voice, "Mommy, don't cry... Yang Yu is okay~ It was that big brother with golden hair who saved Yang Yu!"

As she spoke, she pointed her little hand at Jiang Ling beside her, a pure and grateful smile appearing on her face.

"Alright, kids! Listen to me!"

The children looked up at the blond older brother who had suddenly appeared, their little faces still blurry with tears.

"We're going to play a game called 'Who Falls Asleep First' later. The first child to fall asleep gets a bonus!"

Although it was unclear what points were awarded or what their purpose was, it clearly piqued the interest of most children.

Jiang Ling pulled Hei Yu, who was crying her heart out, aside. "Alright, stop being so sentimental."

"Waaah... Thank you, thank you for saving Yangyu, waaaah," Kuroba cried, just like Miyu.

"It's going to be suppressed again," Jiang Ling said, moving closer to her face.

"Huh?" Kuroba was taken aback, her pretty face flushing red. She waved her hands repeatedly, "Wait, wait... there are still children watching with their eyes open..."

However, Jiang Ling kissed her roughly and directly.

666, is saving face more important or life?

"Ugh—!"

This scene made several children who had secretly opened their eyes widen their eyes, including Xiao Yangyu!

Immediately afterwards, a low murmur of barely suppressed gasps, tinged with surprise and childlike shyness, erupted from among the children:

"Wow! Big brother and black mom are kissing!"

"Yay! It really was a kiss! I've seen it in storybooks!"

"I know, I know! Kissing is something only people who like each other do! They must be a couple!"

"Black Mom's face is so red..."

Little Yangyu covered her face shyly, lowered her head, and whispered, "Mommy~ your kiss was so strong! Do you like your big brother?"

Kuroba made a muffled sound, as if he really wanted to say, "No, that's not true!"

"I heard... kissing can make you pregnant~ pregnancy leads to having a baby~ if Mommy has a baby... don't forget Yangyu..."

Ah ah ah ah ah!

Why do such an indecent thing to do in front of a group of children! You bastard, you bastard, you bastard!

"You... bastard, stinking, yellow hair—!!" Taking a breath, Kuroba squeezed out a trembling voice filled with sobs and extreme shame and indignation.

"They look so alike." Jiang Ling was taken aback, and a phrase came to mind—"Wanwan resembles Qing."

"What do you mean?! Let go...uh...me!!" Kuroba tugged at his sleeve forcefully, kicking his legs wildly, signaling him to let go quickly.

"Like my beloved...wife."

He then deepened the kiss.

Kuroba's cheeks were burning hot, and a strange feeling he had never experienced before welled up inside him. His heart was pounding wildly, and he felt as if an electric current was coursing through his body, leaving him tingling and numb.

[I...I...I...Damn it, why...why do I have feelings for someone?]

【What?! Looks like your beloved wife?! Who agreed to be your wife? You bastard!】

Stop flattering yourself... I... I don't like you at all, you stinky blondie...

At this moment, Kuroba was completely captivated, letting him kiss her like a docile puppy, even tentatively offering to exchange kisses...

Rumbling--

Cracks spread to the dome of the white house. Kuroba snapped out of her daze and pushed him away, saying, "Stop kissing... First... first think about how to save them!"

However, Jiang Ling remained motionless, as if she were truly waiting to die.

Kuroba was in despair.

Could it be that Jiang Ling ran this way just to find a suitable burial place?

Dying here, along with him, Yang Yu, and these children, turning into a pile of unrecoverable minced meat, might... be a decent end.

"Hahahahaha!"

A wild, arrogant laugh echoed from afar as Hengyu raced towards them, roaring and laughing.

"You didn't expect that, did you! The lava can't hurt me anymore!"

"I am now the ultimate being!"

"Even if I get trapped under the rubble, I can easily escape! Come on! Keep hitting me! Please, just kill me!"

Jiang Ling finally released Hei Yu's lips.

He raised his hand and gently patted Xiao Yangyu's head, smiling slightly at the children scattered on the ground, his tone tender:

"It's almost time, everyone, are you ready? Close your eyes, the sleep game officially begins."

The children obediently closed their eyes and lay down on the grass.

Click, click—

The dome overhead could no longer bear the weight and emitted a piercing cracking sound. Small stones first fell in a rustling sound, and then, huge boulders the size of millstones roared down from the sky!

"Hahahaha!" The crazed Hengyu rushed within a hundred meters, raised his fist high, and screamed that he was the ultimate life form... He had been driven mad.

[98%...99%...100%!]

[Ding! "Paper Knight: Shining" has been upgraded to "Paper Knight: Beyond Heaven"!]

Upgrade 1: Five Elements Integration – Master the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) within a 10-kilometer radius!

[Upgrade 2: Fusion of the Twelve Zodiac Animals, Saint Lord's Form Permanent!]

[Upgrade 3: Unlimited Transformation Time!]

[Upgrade 4: Beyond Heaven, Unrivaled and Unstoppable!]

Jiang Ling raised her hand to fasten the hood, held up one index finger, and said proudly:

"Paperbox Knight: Beyond Heaven, Transform!"

"I will wield the power of earth spirits!"

……

"Earth elemental power, suppress!"

Jiang Ling's deep and clear voice carried a weight that touched upon the fundamental rules of the world.

Words are law.

The massive rocks and building debris that collapsed from the dome were still more than ten meters above the children's heads—

Sudden deceleration!

The kinetic energy of the fall was silently swallowed up and dissipated.

Huge boulders, sharp metal beams, and crumbling concrete blocks—

Everything defied the laws of physics and froze in mid-air, maintaining its downward momentum for a split second, like a scene from a disaster movie that had been paused.

"Golden Spirit Power—Combined!"

Then, an even more incredible sight occurred.

The rocks, metal, and concrete that were suspended in the air began to move, decompose, and recombine on their own!

The hard rocks and steel softened and deformed like clay being kneaded by an invisible giant hand, rapidly constructing and piecing together above the children to form a huge and sturdy semi-circular rock dome that firmly protected all the children.

Miracle—the only word that could come to mind for Kuroba.

Jiang Lingfu, suspended in mid-air, now appeared completely different.

The most eye-catching feature is the huge five-colored wheel floating behind him, about two meters in diameter, which displays the five elemental colors of pure gold, dark green, azure blue, crimson, and dark yellow.

The edges of the sector are carved with bas-reliefs of the twelve zodiac animals, full of spirituality and majesty.

Surrounding the wheel, it seems to guard the central entity.

A blood-red cloak fluttered behind him.

Paperbox Knight: Beyond Heaven Form!

He held the stunned Kuroba firmly in one arm, while the other arm hung casually at his side, his posture relaxed and carefree to the extreme.

"Hahahaha! You think you can beat me just by changing your clothes?"

Heng Yu stared at the figure in mid-air, then charged forward with a maniacal laugh, his muscles bulging, gathering all his power in his right fist, raising it high, and roaring:

"The ultimate punch—I am the ultimate life form!"

Jiang Ling glanced at him indifferently, and waved her hand casually as if shooing away an annoying fly.

Snapped!

The arrogant Hengyu, who was just a moment ago, was instantly reduced to a bloody mist like a mosquito that had been slapped, leaving not a trace of intact flesh or blood.

There was no process, no resistance, no lingering screams.

The ultimate organism that adapted to everything died.

Kuroba stared blankly at the scene before him, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

Handsome!

So cool!

How can there be such a handsome man in this world!

"roar--!"

A deafening roar suddenly resounded.

The entire snow-capped mountain trembled as a result.

The enormous white dragon head suddenly burst through the ground, its vertical pupils, the size of buildings, like two pools of unmelted ice, carrying an indifference as if looking down on ants, and a hint of...surprise?

An overwhelming pressure swept in like a tsunami.

"You bastard, you're the insect that's preventing my master's resurrection?"

"Judging by its aura alone, it is much stronger than those insects I have seen before."

"But even the most powerful insect is still just an insect."

The White King of Zhen Dan chuckled, his tone filled with the arrogance and disdain of someone who had lived for a thousand years:

"Boy, do you want to submit to my master? When the gods descend in the future and a new era begins, you might still have a chance to shepherd the people on behalf of the gods. That would be better than ending up with nothing but bones now."

"Hehe, sorry, I'm not interested in what you're saying," Jiang Ling said with a calm smile.

then.

He threw a punch at the white dragon head, which was as large as a mountain and was so close to him, at those cold and arrogant vertical pupils, at this ancient being that had lived for countless years and called itself a divine beast!

"Five Spirits! Collapse!"

"Ha, overestimating yourself, I am the Dragon God!" The White King of Zhen Dan sneered.

He's lived for a thousand years, what powerful people hasn't he seen?

It's nothing more than an ant that received a slight blessing from the "Heavenly Laws." Before a powerful god, it can be crushed with a single hand!

It didn't even bother to assume a full defensive stance; with just a slight thought, the thick layer of white bone armor and scales on its body stood up.

It raised its head, and a white light emanated from its throat:

"Dragon's breath... I'm hungry—!"

A violent force was unleashed with the punch!

The head, which was the size of an asteroid, exploded with a bang!

The violent residual force swept out, shattering a quarter of the snow-capped mountain.

Countless pebbles were mixed with ice and snow.

Like a meteor shower, it shot up to the sea surface tens of kilometers away, stirring up towering waves.

"You..." Jiang Ling picked at his ear, his expression calm.

"What god did you just say...?"
