The massive flame exploded at the side of the Evil God’s Offspring.

At the same time, Vianne’s silver mechanical longsword shattered upon impact, and the surrounding mechanical parts around her body were also crushed by the backlash. She fell helplessly from the sky like a bird that had lost its wings.

The Evil God’s Offspring glanced at her, seemingly puzzled as to how such an ant-like figure dared to challenge the inevitable.

Brandishing a bone spur, it aimed for the silver-haired girl’s throat.

Clang—

Silver sword light blocked the incoming bone spur.

He Ao caught Vianne, using the force of the blow to rapidly descend to the ground.

"Didn’t I tell you to go back to the safe house?"

He Ao frowned.

"Uncle, I want to fight as well."

A trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Vianne’s mouth. The backlash had been mostly absorbed by her mecha, but some had still reached her body.

At this moment, the Evil God’s Offspring attacked again.

He Ao parried the attack with his short sword and retreated again,

"Can your body take it?"

"I’m okay... I think... I probably won’t die." Vianne’s complexion was a bit pale. She smiled and said, "Uncle, I’m now a ’craftsman.’ Talent Sequences 14: Craftsman, E-rank."

"That’s impressive."

He Ao faced the Evil God’s Offspring, continuing to move back.

He glanced at Vianne and saw that though her ’shadow’ flickered, it was very stable, showing no sign of dispersing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Help!"

"What is that!"

"Run!"

Meanwhile, cries of fear echoed incessantly.

The last purple-glowing part of the Evil God’s Offspring had been destroyed by He Ao, and the controlled people were starting to wake up one after another.

The crowd immediately erupted into chaos, frantically running toward the exit.

"Maintain order!"

A booming voice rang out in everyone’s mind.

In an instant, the whole square fell silent, and the turbulent crowd seemed to find comfort. They still ran panic-stricken toward the safe channel, but they no longer collided haphazardly, the order and efficiency improving several times over.

A psychic ability?

He Ao looked toward the source of the voice.

All he saw was Christos stumbling out from a corner.

The Evil God’s Offspring charged at He Ao again; at a distance, revived Federal Bureau of Investigation agents launched a fierce attack on her, temporarily hindering her steps.

Even weakened to such an extent, the Evil God’s Offspring wasn’t someone ordinary people could approach. Getting too close posed the risk of contamination.

He Ao glanced at Christos and darted forward, scooping up Selena, who still lacked the strength to move.

Then, he took another hand and returned to Christos’s side.

Christos looked blankly at He Ao walking over with a silver-haired lolita in one arm and a blonde beauty in the other, slightly dazed.

Then he somewhat apologetically said to He Ao, "Sorry, I just regained a bit of strength."

He was explaining why he hadn’t been able to take action until now.

"It’s okay."

He Ao shook his head, placed Selena and Vianne on the ground, and reached out to support them, then gestured for Christos to help Vianne.

Christos somewhat blankly supported the injured silver-haired lolita.

The reason He Ao did not ask Christos to help with Selena was that Selena, although looking very slender with just a little more fullness in her chest and hips, actually had a mechanized body that likely weighed hundreds of kilograms. He Ao felt slightly heavy lifting her, and in her current state, with no power and no mechanical assistance, Christos, who could barely walk, would probably be pressed into the ground and unable to move if he tried to support her.

He Ao placed the Butcher Pistol in Vianne’s embrace, as the gun was now completely useless to him.

"Uncle..."

Vianne looked blankly at He Ao.

"I left your book in the glove compartment," He Ao continued as he took out the car keys and placed them in her hands, gently stroking her head, "don’t run around this time."

"Uncle!" Vianne suddenly grabbed He Ao’s hand, her eyes wide and staring blankly at him, "Don’t leave me."

Her beautiful eyes seemed to shimmer with ripples.

He Ao glanced at her.

Vianne’s condition was a classic case of ’transference.’ She had lost all her relatives at a young age, was hunted by the Witch Church, and lived a precarious life. On top of that, Najia had captured her to study exotic beasts. In such circumstances, it was easy for her to develop feelings for any elder who suddenly appeared in her life, who was both kind and reliable.

She would see He Ao as a father figure and project all her unexperienced feelings for a father onto him.

She was smart, but she couldn’t let go.

She dared not lose again.

He Ao didn’t pull away from her grip, but instead gently touched her head again,

Children will always grow up and leave their parents’ embrace to embrace a sky of their own.

Vianne stared blankly at him, silent for a moment, then slowly withdrew her hand.

Then she cautiously took out a silver syringe from her bosom, with a faint red potion flowing inside.

She handed the syringe over slowly and then retracted it hesitantly; finally biting her lip, she still passed it to He Ao, "Gene Potion, I derived it from the blood of an exotic beast, there’s only this one, I haven’t found a way to stabilize its effects... if used, you might... die, uncle, you’re not at an impasse, don’t use it."

He Ao glanced at her, took the syringe, and said slowly, "Thank you."

He turned his head and saw that Selena was staring at him intently.

"We’ll do it together."

She tried to stand up straight, but staggered and almost fell face down on the ground; He Ao quickly supported her,

He Ao glanced behind him and several agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation immediately came forward, struggling to support Selena.

"Don’t help me!"

Selena struggled to break free from the agents.

He Ao looked at Selena somewhat puzzled; this girl hadn’t been so stubborn before.

He undid the electronic shackles on Selena’s waist, locked the girl up, and then said to the agents holding her, "Protect your inspector and leave."

"Yes!"

The agents promptly responded, although they didn’t know He Ao’s background, they knew he was strong and that it was him who had protected these people for so long.

He Ao turned and walked towards the front.

The Evil God’s Offspring had already begun closing in on the crowd step by step, her body now clad in armor made of skeletons, and the firepower of the Federal Bureau of Investigation was becoming less and less of an obstacle to her.

"Can’t you wait a bit? The Federal Bureau of Investigation reinforcements are almost here!" Selena suddenly shouted, "Even if just to let me recover some strength!"

"But," He Ao looked at the crowd scrambling to evacuate, among them staggering elderly and children crying in their mothers’ arms.

He smiled and looked at Selena, "They can’t wait."

Starlight fell upon his face.

To run, he could run at any time, He Ao with his D-level strength could run ahead of everyone and then wait for the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Dawn City’s government to eradicate the Evil God’s Offspring.

The cost of doing so, however, would mean that the Federal Bureau of Investigation agents left here and the audience members who were slow to escape, as well as the people in this building who had not had time to evacuate, would become the human shields blocking behind.

They would become the blood food of the Witch of Desire, the resentful spirits lurking in this place.

Someone always has to stand at the very end.

"Uncle, you’ll come back, right?"

A girl’s shout suddenly came from behind.

Without turning back, He Ao waved his hand and said calmly,

"Sometimes in life there is no torch, then be your own torch."

The bird in the nest must eventually fly towards the sky.

······

"Dad, I want to be a great hero too when I grow up!"

"Being a hero is very difficult."

"How difficult can it be?"

"It’s like... um... you might die."

"Die! Even if I could die, I still want to be a great hero, to be the hero who saves all of Dawn City!"

"Hahaha, our little Roy has such lofty ambitions."

"Of course!"

"So, are we still having fried chicken tonight?!"

"Eat! Eat! Just don’t let Mom know!!!!!"

······

He Ao woke up from Roy’s memory.

At that moment, the Evil God’s Offspring had already reached the edge of the crowd, he picked up his sword, bent his legs, leaped forward, and collided with the incoming bone blades, forcibly stopping the Offspring’s assault,

The Evil God’s Offspring had gotten stronger.

Just before, He Ao had the support of Selena and Vianne.

Now, he was on his own.

His silver sword trapped the sharp bone blades, and He Ao calmly gazed at the face across from his, now gradually covered with bones and filled with madness; his muscles bulged and he exerted his strength fiercely,

"Get lost!"
