The Absolute Godspeed of Infinite Worlds

Chapter 817 - 817

Several days later.On a night with a bright moon and sparse stars.

Clanging sounds continuously rang out, irritatingly disturbing the peace.

Unable to bear the annoyance any longer, Giada stepped out of the cabin and onto the deck for some fresh air.

Her communication with the First Primogenitor's domain had already concluded.

As she had anticipated, the matter ended with Vatler and didn't even reach the attention of the Lost Warlord.

Vatler had also generously stated he wouldn't pursue the matter further. After all, who ultimately resurrected the Fourth Primogenitor only concerned the Japanese government—none of the three True Ancestors cared about such things.

He had even specially dispatched a yacht repair team to fix Giada's most frequently used deck as quickly as possible before proceeding to repair various leaks throughout the ship.

Fortunately, the ship already had a professional team on board who took immediate remedial measures when the hull began leaking, preventing the multi-billion dollar super yacht from sinking to the bottom of the ocean.

Although Vatler showed complete indifference toward the stolen vessel and the damaged yacht, he displayed intense enthusiasm regarding the armored figure, frequently pressing Giada for information about them.

Vampires with long lifespans typically develop their own unique forms of entertainment.

Vatler was an extraordinary battle maniac!

He couldn't be bothered to spare a glance at the weak, but was utterly obsessed with the strong, showing interest only in powerful opponents.

Not only was he extremely combative, but he dared to provoke even True Ancestors into battle—truly a recklessly fearless individual.

The armored figure who had suppressed Giada and stolen the vessel naturally captured his fanatical attention, making him eager to find this opponent for an epic battle.

But Giada didn't want too many people to know about Eiji's existence, so she remained vague and didn't reveal much.

This was her entertainment—how could she let someone else steal it away?

This pleasure belonged to her alone!

Standing on the deck, Giada gazed toward Itogami Island in the distance.

A vampire's senses far surpass those of ordinary humans, and True Ancestors are even more remarkable. Enhanced by magical energy, she could clearly see the apartment building on the western island several kilometers away.

Thanks to Natsuki Minamiya's peculiar preference for using windows as walls, Giada could often spot Eiji's figure there.

Then, with remarkable perceptiveness, he would detect her peeping and look in her direction.

His eyesight seemed equally formidable, able to meet her gaze instantly.

Whenever this happened, a pleased smile would spread across Giada's face.

Even carrying a hint of smugness.

See? I really do know your identity!

So what if you defeated me? The triumphant feeling of holding leverage surged through her chest.

At a certain moment.

The surroundings of the deck suddenly fell into complete silence, as if time itself had frozen, with all sound vanishing from the area.

"Oh?"

Giada's eyes shifted, her expression cooling.

"Have you come to beg for my forgiveness, Koyomi Shizuka?"

Soundlessly.

A figure appeared on the deck.

She placed the book tucked under her arm into her palm. Under the neon lights, her glasses reflected the glow, obscuring her eyes and making her expression unreadable.

"Please grant us a little more time regarding our apology to you. We are already working on it, Lady Giada!"

Recently.

A political storm had swept through the main island.

Several former ministers were brought down on charges of corruption and other crimes, thrown into prison to await their fate at Giada's discretion when the time came.

As a result, recent vacancies in the upper echelons of the government had triggered a promotion frenzy.

"I hope you're not trying to deceive me."

Giada let out a cold laugh.

"We wouldn't dare."

The girl with braided hair bowed slightly, murmuring her response.

"Then? Since you're not here to apologize, why have you come?"

Giada turned her head to gaze distantly at the apartment building.

She had changed her mind.

Initially, she had stayed to cause trouble for the Japanese government, preventing them from gaining control over the Fourth True Ancestor.

But now, she realized that while anyone could emerge as the winner of this Feast of Blazing Lights, it definitely wouldn't be the Japanese government!

With Narcissus here, he would never allow the Japanese government to profit from this affair!

So, she was no longer worried.

It was better to focus on enjoyment.

Wasn't peeping at a handsome young man delightful?

"Yes, what I came to report concerns that armored man who calls himself a Kamen Rider."

Koyomi Shizuka kept her posture humble, knowing they were in the wrong and had no other choice.

"Oh?"

Giada let out an ambiguous hum.

Seemingly intrigued, she turned around and looked meaningfully at Koyomi Shizuka.

"Interesting. What do you want to say?"

"I'll be direct. The orders given to the Lion King Organization from above are to eliminate the armored man as soon as possible."

Koyomi Shizuka dropped this bombshell in a matter-of-fact tone.

For a moment, Giada nearly laughed out loud.

Kill the armored man?

With your capabilities?

Are you even worthy?

"So, you want to cooperate with me?"

An irrepressible smile spread across Giada's face.

The smile wasn't quite warm, nor was it entirely joyful.

"Yes."

Koyomi Shizuka couldn't decipher the meaning behind her smile and could only nod in agreement.

"Since Lord Giada also lost three progenitors of the Warring States Domain due to that armored man's offense, I assumed you would want to reclaim your honor. That's what I thought."

Having had three progenitors taken by that armored man, Giada must be harboring resentment.

In that case, there was potential for cooperation.

First, join forces to defeat the armored man, then discuss other matters.

"Hmph, so the Japanese government is getting anxious too?"

Giada smiled noncommittally.

First, it was Nina Adelard, then the Second.

Followed by the Third, Fourth, and Fifth.

After repeated plundering, the armored man now held five progenitors!

Nearly half!

At this point, the Japanese government could no longer sit idly by!

They had expended tremendous effort to persuade the other parties to hold the Feast of Blazing Lights in Japan.

Their goal was to keep the Fourth True Ancestor in Japan—and if they could control her, even better!

But now?

Nearly half of the progenitors had been taken by that mysterious armored man!

If this continued, wouldn't all their efforts merely pave the way for that armored man's gain?

No matter what, the Japanese government absolutely could not allow this to happen!

Therefore, the Artificial Island Management Association assigned a task to Natsuki Minamiya, while the higher-ups gave the Lion King Organization an absolute order—to locate the armored figure by any means necessary, eliminate them, and retrieve the Progenitor's body!

Koyomi Shizuka was also troubled, as she had no idea who the armored figure was or where they were now.

Methods like divination and astrology proved completely ineffective, as if that person existed outside the bounds of fate itself. There wasn't a single clue to follow—it was utterly absurd!

Currently, no one knew the true identity of the armored figure stirring up trouble on Itogami Island.

Left with no other choice, Koyomi Shizuka had to brace herself and seek out Giada.
