"It's actually you … Should I say that you're confident, or arrogant?"
Eight-cloud Ink couldn't help but whistle when they saw the Amaterasu Mercury appear in such a grand manner.
"Hello, Special Affairs. You seem to be in good spirits. How do you feel after obtaining the long-awaited immortal body? "
Tian Zhong didn't even look at the murderous special zone guards. Instead, he spoke to the frozen metal lifeform.
Zian was probably the useless teammate who had been tricked by the Amaterasu Mercury. He thought that he could obtain an immortal body, but in the end, he ended up like this, an unlucky ordinary person who had become a blood sacrifice for the Sage's Spirit.
The metallic lifeform's surface cracked open, and at the same time, it began to vibrate in a terrifying manner.
His sobbing caused the atmosphere to tremble.
"Celestial Mercury! Ahhhhh!"
"So noisy …"
Eight-cloud Ink, who was annoyed by the sharp screeches, raised its hand and fired a barrage of bullets.
The sudden barrage left the guards, Amaterasu Mercury, and the metallic lifeform unable to react in time.
"Boom —!!!"
The scattered dust and deafening rumbles drowned out the massive metallic lifeform.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, what appeared before everyone's eyes was a metal mass with countless large holes blasted out of it, as well as a steel wall that had risen from the ground at some point.
Mercury's voice came from behind the wall.
"It's Mr. Monster from that day …"
Holding his cane, Mercury Amaterasu walked out from behind the wall.
Eight-cloud Ink had already jumped to the ground and was looking at the Mercury Burial Ground, as well as the huge metallic lifeform behind it.
"How disgusting. Could this be the so-called perfect life form?"
"It's not complete yet. Mr. Monster is still too impatient. But even so, I should be able to play with Mr. Monster."
As if responding to him, the metallic lifeform's dim radiance began to shine.
"Ahhhhhh —!"
Countless new tentacles extended from the shattered interior of the metallic lifeform.
The tentacles turned into blades, stabbing indiscriminately at the surrounding warehouses and buildings.
Only the surface of the metallic lifeform was frozen. The 'Philosopher's Spirit Blood' created a vacuum insulation layer between the surface and the interior, using the principle of a thermos flask to prevent the body from freezing.
With a wave of his sleeve, a demonic barrier appeared in front of Eight-cloud Ink, blocking the blade's attack.
"All of you, back down!"
He took a step forward, and a huge magic array appeared behind him.
As Eight-cloud Ink moved forward, cracks appeared on the artificial ground that he stepped on.
In between the gaps, there were blooming lilies.
Although they were furious and disgusted by the Amaterasu Mercury that had killed countless of their comrades, they knew that they were no match for it. They could only retreat after Eight-cloud Ink attacked.
After the demonic power barrier that blocked the blade disappeared, countless demonic paper needles flew out from the gaps.
Countless Demon Paper Needles shot out in a spiral shape. The Amaterasu Mercury knocked his cane on the ground almost immediately, and a tall and solid metal wall rose from the ground.
"Damn it. Although it's not the best time, this is the only way. Awaken, Sage!"
Tian Zhong yelled as he thrust the staff in his left hand horizontally like a spear towards the 'Philosopher's Spirit Blood' behind him.
The staff shattered the black gem attached to it and was then absorbed by the "spirit blood".
"Hmm? Forcing it to awaken … "
Eight-cloud Ink muttered, and then increased his strength. The number of demonic paper needles that burst out in an instant was twice as high as before, and they broke through the metal wall of Amaterasu Mercury in an instant.
"Poof —"
Amaterasu Mercury, who was penetrated by the demonic paper needles, made a strange sound that sounded like pain and joy. At the same time, the "Philosopher's Spirit Blood" was undergoing a fatal change. The dark red metal life was surrounded by light, and it seemed that something was about to appear inside.
It was as if something was about to break out of the eggshell and be hatched.
At that moment.
The flash released by the "Philosopher's Spirit Blood" silently took away Eight-cloud Ink's vision.
A huge explosion erupted at the same time. The crane on the dock collapsed like building blocks, and the harbor area was suddenly surrounded by flames.
⑧
Yase Motoki sat on the top of the slanted lighthouse, exhausted as he looked at the scene.
The crane was cut off from the root at an angle and fell on the dock sadly, unable to be repaired. He should have suffered the same fate as the crane.
However, the person who saved him was a figure in a black robe.
"Are you still alive?"
Eight Cloud Ink swayed her untimely and complicated Daoist robe and asked.
He suddenly appeared from the void with a space jump and saved Yase Motoki at the critical moment before he crashed into the ground with the crane.
"Well, you're still alive …"
Yase Motoki slowly raised his head and used his headphones to tidy up his messy hair.
"I thought I was going to die this time. Bastard … I'm saved. Thank you, sensei. "
Eight-cloud Ink ignored Yase Motoki, stood on top of a container, and looked around the dock.
Among the rows upon rows of huge warehouses along the coast, more than ten had collapsed and were now burning.
Because the guards had already been ordered to retreat, they did not suffer any casualties in the explosion, but the team members were a little panicked.
"Sigh, useless …"
Seeing the situation, Eight-cloud Ink snorted.
At the moment of the explosion, Eight-cloud Ink determined that the guards would be fine, but Yase Motoki was dead for sure. He had no choice but to save this unlucky guy first.
But it was because of this momentary gap that the Amotsuka Mercury and the "Sage's Spirit Blood" escaped.
"Sorry, this is a mistake in the management of the community. We miscalculated the intention of the Amotsuka Mercury. "
Yase Motoki looked up at Eight-cloud Ink on the container and was a little embarrassed.
"I didn't expect that he wanted to use the various metal equipment on the dock to resurrect the sage."
That's right, at the moment of the explosion, the metal lifeform swept away a large amount of metal equipment on the dock.
"It's okay, I know where he is now …"
Raising her head and looking at the blue sea in front of her, Eight Cloud Ink suddenly disappeared into a crack in the sea.

Today was the day Kanon and the others were staying for research.
The large ferry, the Phaethon, was sailing with the wind and the current.
The route to Itogami Island was much more troublesome than the other routes. Most of the goods on the ferry were special items, and the procedures to enter the island were troublesome. And now, they were on their way home after finishing the tedious procedures.
The students who were staying for research also boarded the ferry.
In a spacious cabin that looked like a sports room, the girls in the academy's uniform were gathered and temporarily stayed there.
They were at the age where they were lively and active. The girls spontaneously formed small groups and played some small games.
"By the way, Kanon-chan, how's your progress with Yakuma-sensei?"
Nagisa, who was playing a punishment game, suddenly turned to look at Kanon.
"Ah, ah? Yakuma-nei? "
"Oh ~ ~ ~ Ah ~ ~ ~ Yakuma-nei!!"
The other two classmates who were playing with them immediately winked at Kanon in a sarcastic manner.
The girl lowered her head shyly, her slender fingers intertwined with each other, just like her current mood.
"Aha! You're so inexperienced! "
"Tell me, what's Yakuma-sensei like?"
Kanon was at a loss when she saw her classmate asking more and more questions. She could only look at Nagisa.
After all, she was the one who started this.
Nagisa didn't expect the two girls to be so enthusiastic.
Fortunately, the two girls let Kanon go when they saw that she couldn't take it anymore. They turned to look at Yukina.
"So, Yukina-chan, tell me, how's your relationship with Yakuma-chan's brother?"
"What?"
Yukina didn't expect to be attacked for no reason. While she was thinking about how to escape, the girl had already taken a card from Yukina's hand.
"Aha! In the end, Kanon and Yukina were punished! "
The punishment game was instigated by a group of people and turned into a shameful game of "two people eating the same chocolate bar".
In the end, Yukina and Kanon had no choice but to bite on one end of the chocolate bar each. The two of them started eating carefully.
Just as they were about to touch each other, the two of them tilted their heads at the same time, and the remaining chocolate bar broke in half.
"What a pity!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"What's so pitiful about it?" Yukina blushed and shouted, "I almost lost my first kiss —"
Yukina was about to say that she almost lost her first kiss when she suddenly remembered that she had already kissed Kojou. She stopped herself and stood there in a daze.
"Oh? Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh … "
The girls screamed when they saw Yukina's reaction.
On the other side, Kanon held her cheeks with her hands and lowered her head. Her clear blue eyes glistened with tears.
"First kiss … huh … and Yakuma-nei …"
