Zhou Ye's methods became increasingly unfathomable to them.
He always seems to possess an inexhaustible supply of unimaginable power and knowledge.
Shizuka Marikawa watched in horror, her face turning pale.
"Boss... are they alright?"
Zhou Ye didn't turn around, but simply said calmly.
"To gain power, you always have to pay a price."
His tone was completely calm, as if he had everything under control.
After an unknown amount of time, the energy fluctuations on Jill and Nanri Xiang gradually subsided.
They collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their bodies soaked in sweat as if they had just been pulled out of the water.
Although the pain subsided, an unprecedentedly powerful feeling was emerging from the depths of my body.
Zhou Ye then turned to Shizuka Marikawa, a gentle expression on his face.
He opened his palm, and a rhombus-shaped core, about the size of a thumb, emitting a soft emerald green light, lay quietly in his palm.
The core seemed to possess life, radiating a rich and refreshing vitality.
"This is the Heart of Life."
Zhou Ye explained.
"Formed by combining special Honkai energy with pure life force."
"Shizuka, your path is to be a healer and protector."
Looking at the [Heart of Life], Shizuka Marikawa felt a strong sense of familiarity welling up inside her, as if it had always belonged to her.
"Will this... hurt a lot too?"
She asked somewhat timidly, clearly frightened by Jill and Nanriko's earlier behavior.
Zhou Ye shook his head.
"Much milder."
He flicked his finger, and the [Heart of Life] transformed into a beam of green light, disappearing into Shizuka Marikawa's brow.
Unlike Jill and the others' suffering, Shizuka Marikawa only felt a warm and comfortable energy instantly envelop her.
A vast and pure life energy flowed through her body, nourishing every cell.
She seemed to hear the sound of all things growing and feel the joy of the pulse of life.
A powerful healing force quietly awakened within her.
Nami and Saeko Busujima observed silently from the sidelines, while secretly mobilizing their internal energy to strengthen themselves.
The way the leader empowers them is always so direct and so efficient.
A moment later, Jill and Nanri struggled to their feet.
They could clearly feel the new power surging within their bodies, and some vague concepts about the [Myriad Forms of Weapons] also appeared in their minds.
Jill instinctively raised her right hand, trying to mobilize the energy within her body.
hum.
The outline of a silver pistol made of pure energy flashed in her hand; though extremely unstable, it was already taking shape.
"This is…"
A look of surprise flashed in Jill's eyes.
Nan Lixiang followed suit, letting out a low shout, and a wildly designed shotgun phantom briefly appeared in her hand, exuding a hint of savagery.
"Success!"
Nanri Xiang exclaimed excitedly.
Shizuka Marikawa slowly opened her eyes, stretched out her fair hand, and waved it gently.
A soft green halo appeared in the palm of my hand, radiating a reassuring aura of life.
This is the first time she has possessed the power of the mystical side.
"Wow! So awesome!"
Shizuka Marikawa looked at the green light in her hand with joy on her face.
Zhou Ye looked at the three people's work and nodded.
"This is just the beginning."
"True mastery requires constant practice and the accumulation of sufficient energy."
he reminded.
The three nodded in unison, their eyes filled with anticipation for the future and a thirst for power.
"However, there's still a small problem with Shizuka."
Shizuka Marikawa's initially joyful face instantly fell, and she said somewhat nervously:
"Boss, are there any other minor issues?"
Zhou Ye said calmly:
"I need to make a comparison with your [Heart of Life]. It is said that there is a divine artifact called [The Smile of the Virgin Mary], which can only heal the wounds of humans and angels, and even demons and fallen angels. In the anime, it is depicted as a pair of rings. It can heal any kind of wound, but it cannot restore physical strength; lost body parts cannot regenerate. Wounds are healed through direct contact. By improving the user's abilities, remote healing can also be performed, and the range of healing and the recovery effect can also be improved."
"Only after comparing and contrasting [Heart of Life] and [The Smile of the Virgin Mary] can further refine and improve them."
----split line----
In another corner of the city, in a dimly lit alley.
Yotsuya Miko trembled all over, clinging tightly to Kasumigaoka Utaha's arm, and ran forward desperately.
"Run...run! Shiyu is blocking the way!"
Her voice was choked with sobs, and her face was covered in tears and fear.
Although Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't see anything, the sudden drop in temperature and Miko's near-collapse made her realize that the situation was definitely not good.
"What exactly is Jianzi?"
She asked, panting, but dared not stop walking.
"It's...it's a terrifying thing! More terrifying than anything I've encountered before!"
Yotsuya Miko glanced back and saw the enormous evil spirit, emanating a thick black aura, following them at a leisurely pace.
Its face wore a mocking smile, as if it were toying with its prey that was about to be caught.
It seems to have locked onto Miko Yotsuya, and no matter where they run, they can't get rid of her.
Despair, like a cold tide, overwhelmed Yotsuya Miko's heart.
Chapter 95 Yotsuya Miko
The security measures Zhou Ye had set up around the mansion began to ripple slightly.
He sensed unusual energy fluctuations and two familiar yet flustered auras.
"Hmm~"
He looked at Nami, who had just become familiar with a portion of the power of the [Climate Law] and was eager to try it out.
"Nami, there are evil spirits chasing Kasumigaoka and Yotsuya outside."
Zhou Ye's voice was calm.
"Go and lend them a hand, and while you're at it, test your new powers."
"Okay, boss."
Nami agreed, and her figure transformed into a streak of orange light, instantly disappearing from the spot.
In the dimly lit alley, the biting cold almost froze the air.
Yotsuya Miko clung tightly to Kasumigaoka Utaha, her lungs burning with pain, her legs feeling like lead.
"Run...run! Shiyu!"
Her voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs, and tears blurred her vision.
Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't see the terror of the pursuit, but she could feel Miko's deep-seated fear and the sudden drop in temperature around them.
"What exactly is Jianzi?"
She was panting as she tried to keep up with Miko's pace.
"It's...it's a terrifying thing! More terrifying than anything I've encountered before!"
Yotsuya Miko turned back in despair, but the enormous evil spirit, emanating a thick black aura, was still leisurely following behind them.
A nauseating, mocking smile hung on the evil spirit's face, as if it were a cat catching a mouse and enjoying its prey's futile struggle. It seemed to have locked onto Yotsuya Miko, its chilling aura following her like a shadow.
Just as Yotsuya Miko thought she was about to be swallowed by despair, an orange figure descended from the sky and stood between them and the evil spirit.
A fine breeze surrounded Nami, and faint arcs of electricity danced in her hair.
She didn't even look back at the two girls; she simply extended her slender finger and gently touched the hideous evil spirit.
“【Minor Thunderstorm】”
In an instant, several electric snakes, much brighter and more dazzling than before, appeared out of thin air and struck the evil spirit with precision.
There was no earth-shattering roar, only a shrill, distorted scream from the evil spirit. Its massive body rapidly dissolved and was purified in the lightning, leaving not even a trace of black smoke behind.
Immediately afterwards, several faint spatial ripples appeared at the alley entrance, and several ugly evil spirits of various shapes poked their heads out, attracted by the previous commotion.
Nami frowned slightly, seemingly a little impatient.
She waved her hand casually.
"[Weather and Wind Chirp]."
The invisible wind blades, like the sharpest razor blades, swept past in an instant.
