Chapter 140 Rinne's Arc: "The Wounded Beast and the Dominator"
After a moment of silence, the boy slowly raised his head, looked up at the sky and let out a long howl, a sound like the mournful roar of a wounded beast.
"Ugh... Waaah, Sawa... Why... Ahh ...
At that moment, dazzling fireworks were rising in the amusement park, and the laughter of tourists echoed in the air. The boy's shout was out of place in this joyous scene, like a lone branch in the cold winter, abrupt and lonely.
The whistling stopped abruptly. The boy slowly crouched down, burying his face in his hands, his body trembling slightly. "Yes...she did this so I could achieve my goal...but..."
Filled with resentment, Ming suppressed his anger and slammed his fist into the ground. With a dull thud, dust billowed up, and a deep, dark pit instantly appeared.
It turned out that, because his spiritual energy had just been restored, this attack was infused with power strong enough to shake the earth.
"I'm not reconciled... I'm not reconciled! I'm really not reconciled!"
"Although I regained my memories, I still couldn't save her! There were clearly better ways to solve this... at least not in front of me... at least not to sacrifice herself for me!"
"Why--!!"
Just then, white dust fell from the sky. Ming, who was immersed in grief and in extreme pain, looked up and saw four winged monsters with veils, like angels, staring at him.
"Order: Remove the foreign object!"
As if speaking mechanically, the four monsters simultaneously gripped their spears and swooped down like black meteors. The spears, carrying a chilling killing intent, pierced straight into Ming's body. At this moment, Ming was on the verge of mental collapse.
As the spear pierced through, black particles, like starlight bursting from a dark night sky, splattered from Ming's wound.
Just then, the black flames on his back suddenly surged violently, as if they were alive, rapidly intertwining and twisting, transforming into a pair of black wings.
The red and blue beast eyes were stained black, and ram horns began to grow on its forehead.
"What's wrong? My head hurts so much... Aa ...
In that once tranquil and vibrant grove, suddenly, a black flame, as deep as night yet radiating intense heat, rose up from the depths of the forest without warning.
The black flames spread at an extremely fast speed, and wherever they went, the trees were instantly ignited, as if they were screaming in pain.
The flames were a deep, dark black, and the amusement park, which was originally full of joy, was now immersed in laughter and merriment.
Children laughed and played on the playground equipment, couples strolled hand in hand among the flowers, and the elderly sat on benches enjoying their leisure time.
However, as the black flames continued to spread, the entire amusement park was gradually covered by them.
Thick black smoke rose up, obscuring the sky and dimming the originally bright sunlight.
The black flames were like a giant black curtain. Under the ravages of the black flames, the amusement facilities were burned fiercely, and people's laughter and cheers were instantly replaced by screams of terror. Those who were touched by the black flames were instantly engulfed by the flames.
The agonizing screams echoed throughout the amusement park.
In just a few moments, the once bustling amusement park was transformed into a desolate hell.
Far away, Asmodeus lay quietly atop a tall building, gazing sideways at everything that was happening before him.
"Hahaha! This is it! This feeling is so delicious! To relive the extreme pain of losing a loved one is truly wonderful!"
Asmodeus's lips curled up, and his eyes gleamed with excitement.
"It wasn't for nothing that I personally went and vividly described your pain to that girl! Hahahaha!"
“However, this pain isn’t enough.” Asmodeus licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed. Just then, in Asmodeus’s mind, the dissatisfied voice of the Garden Goddess Rinne resounded:
"Hey! You promised to take the boy you were with away from Paradise after he regained his memories."
"Yes, my dear sister~ But, I made a slight mistake in how I woke her up~ Because I couldn't control my emotions after so long, I went berserk."
"Hmph, stop making excuses. Take him away now. He's moving at lightning speed, and everything in the park he's in will be devoured."
"Tsk, what a hassle." Asmodeus clicked his tongue impatiently. "Sorry, my dear sister, I can't do it."
"Hmm! What do you mean! If we let him continue to cause trouble, Shido will definitely find out..."
“I know, but if we release him in this state now, guess what will happen to Tengu City? You can imagine... The level of tension required to carry four demon kings at the same time is so high that it’s only natural that he’s going berserk now.”
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
At this moment, Rinne, in a certain pure white space, looked at Shido, who was already fast asleep, and her plain pink pupils showed a hint of anxiety.
"Don't worry, I have a plan." Asmodeus's lips curled into a wicked smile.
"Since that's the case, why don't you go fight him, beat him up until he's sober, and then send him out? This is [Paradise of Calamity], your home turf... Of course, I'll block that kid's spiritual power for you through the Paradise's passage. Isn't that a good deal?"
Rinne Sonogami was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
After saying that, her figure flashed in that pink space and disappeared from the spot.
Sensing that Rinne had lost contact, Asmodeus raised his right hand and looked at the spiritual power of the ten guards that he had just slightly mobilized using the components of Paradise.
He gave a wicked smile and unilaterally transferred his spiritual energy pool, which was one with Ming's, to the central hub that maintained Paradise.
"Finally, we're going to see a great dog-eat-dog show! Don't disappoint me, you two!"
In the amusement park ravaged by black flames, Ming was like a ferocious beast out of control, leaving destruction in his wake, as if he were laughing maniacally, but the laughter was also so tragic...
At that moment, Rinne Sonogami suddenly appeared in front of him.
Rinne's hair grew to almost leg length. Her eyes turned a deep pink.
Her spirit dress featured a purple clock, with gold shawls on her shoulders and arms, her face mostly covered by a veil, and she wore a pale purple papal robe.
When Ming saw Rinne, his pupils contracted sharply. Her aura was as sacred as the "god" he had seen 25 years ago.
"Takamiya Mio!!!"
Ming roared, and the black flames around his body surged instantly as he charged toward Rinne recklessly.
"You seem quite confused, how pitiful. To be honest, I don't dislike you. You were the first source of information I had about Shido, and your past is something I deeply regret, so I'll try to end this as quickly as possible..."
As soon as Rinne finished speaking, she waved her hands, attempting to directly induce Ming's unconsciousness. However, unexpectedly, this mental attack failed to have any effect on him.
"Is your obsession with your mother that deep?"
As Rinne thought this, a massive purple barrier instantly appeared in front of her. Ming's black flames slammed into the barrier, producing a deafening roar, but the barrier only trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Ming became even angrier, and the black flames on his body surged again, while his black wings attacked the purple barrier simultaneously.
After another attempt to make Ming faint due to the influence of Paradise, Rinne seemed to understand something.
"No! It's the relationships he just ate with the humans created by Paradise! By eating them, he weakened and adapted to the effects Paradise had on him, and even incorporated some of my spiritual power!"
Just as the black wings were about to touch the barrier, Rinne, who had finally understood, let out a soft shout. The barrier shone brightly, and a powerful force rebounded, sending Ming flying.
Ming flipped in mid-air, and in mid-air, the highly compressed black fireball in his mouth formed a barrier with the surrounding air, which was distorted by the high temperature. Then, the fireball and the highly compressed air simultaneously flew away at high speed.
Rinne merely raised her eyes; the attack did not shift elsewhere.
Ming, who was in mid-air, suddenly felt a heavy pressure coming from his back, and he was hit as if by a heavy hammer, and fell straight to the ground.
The pressure felt like dozens of roaring trains simultaneously crashing over his back, crushing every bone in his body and causing it to protest in agony.
Ming struggled to get up, but the pressure was relentless, making it impossible for him to move an inch. His body trembled under the immense pressure, his eyes gradually cleared, and the black flames dimmed slightly.
Rinne walked slowly toward him, each step steady and firm.
"Give up, your struggle is pointless." Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.
Ming, however, glared angrily and forced himself to get up. With his killing intent fully unleashed, he kicked off with his back foot, transforming his arm into a cone shape, and stabbed at Rinne in the blink of an eye.
In Paradise, Rinne is the only [Dominator]. From the moment she stepped into this place, Ming had no chance of winning.
She reached out her hand, and the next moment, the arm that Ming was thrusting at her was severed, and the invisible force once again sent Ming flying far away.
"This is pointless, let's just end it here..."
Rinne was about to activate Paradise to make Ming's thoughts pause when she saw the severed hand reassemble into a hand and grab her leg, which was protected by spirit armor.
"Forehead?!"
Ming, who had been knocked away, chuckled lightly. Thick black mud slowly seeped from his arm, as if it were an evil thing gushing out from an endless abyss.
A small crack appeared in the arm behind, and then the arm that was gripping Rinne's foot exploded.
'boom! '
Smoke and dust billowed up, blasting a small crater into the already charred pit.
When the smoke cleared, Rinne emerged unharmed from the remaining smog, enveloped in a pale purple light.
"They're really going all out, but unfortunately they can't hurt me."
Ming didn't speak, but looked at Rinne with gradually clearing eyes. His right hand grew back through the flames of regeneration, but it seemed as if he was holding something in his palm.
With her palm open, a corner of her spirit dress was torn off and placed inside. Then, flames ignited, and to Rinne's astonishment, her spirit dress was transformed into spiritual power and merged into Ming's body.
Seeing this, Rinne frowned and raised her hand again.
But even faster than her was Ming, who raised his hands above his head without warning.
"surrender!"
