Chapter 013: Deception

Kishimoto Megumi, who had just arrived, saw the Celestial Soldier and immediately realized that although the Celestial Soldier before her looked exactly like Wang Bo, he was not the Bo-sama she knew.

This was an intuition.

She immediately thought of the fake person Bo-sama had mentioned, and quickly realized this was an opportunity.

If she killed this fake, she could create the illusion of Bo-sama's death, thereby deceiving the black sphere.

So without hesitation, she raised her pistol and fired at the Celestial Soldier.

The Celestial Soldier reacted instantly, moving in an S-shaped path to evade Kishimoto's attack.

A second later, the ground where the Celestial Soldier had stood exploded.

"So fast!" Kishimoto immediately realized that to kill this Celestial Soldier, they had to limit his speed; if they couldn't, they would never be able to kill him.

This was the experience she had gained from Wang Bo's training over the past few days.

At the same time, Wang Bo, sitting in the room, also realized this: the Celestial Soldier he had created was faster than the members of the Black Sphere team.

If this continued, it was very likely that everyone present would be killed.

Including Kishimoto Megumi.

Wang Bo hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to control the Celestial Soldier's speed; if the act went wrong, it would be hard to clean up.

But Wang Bo quickly remembered that the Black Sphere team seemed to have a capture gun.

This gun could release capture ropes that restrained aliens' movements, which should be able to limit the Celestial Soldier's speed, and the gun should be in Nishijōichirō's hands.

So Wang Bo relaxed again and continued to watch the show.

After realizing the Celestial Soldier's speed, Kishimoto no longer considered her weapon; since the gun had a delay effect, she had to fight at close range.

She had been training with Wang Bo these past few days, and now she could use this fake to test her results.

So Kishimoto, full of confidence, charged in.

Wang Bo couldn't help but cover his face; you've only trained for a few days, and you want to defeat a Celestial Soldier? Where do you get such confidence?

Sure enough, the confident Kishimoto, after charging in, was immediately beaten up by the Celestial Soldier.

If not for her reinforced suit, she would have been knocked down by the Celestial Soldier by now.

But just as the two were locked in combat,

Swish!

Someone fired a sneak attack.

Three points of light appeared out of nowhere, circled around Kishimoto and the Celestial Soldier a few times, and then the two were trapped together, the three points of light pinning to the ground, capturing them both.

Kishimoto let out a surprised sound.

Then, Nishijōichirō slowly emerged from the air; this guy, like last time, used the capture device to ambush the target, but this time he even caught Kishimoto.

To be honest, this man truly embodied the essence of lying low.

"Looks like I win again this time," Nishijōichirō said coldly, looking at the Celestial Soldier.

The Celestial Soldier let out a furious roar and struggled violently.

Nishijōichirō sneered a few times, raised his pistol, and aimed at both Kishimoto and the Celestial Soldier, planning to kill them together. He still hadn't forgotten the humiliation Kishimoto had inflicted on him in the black sphere room.

Now was the time for revenge.

Katō Masaru saw this and shouted, "Stop! What do you think you're doing?"

Nishijōichirō sneered, not caring at all about Katō's barking like a beaten dog. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, the Celestial Soldier suddenly opened his mouth and spat.

Pfft! A tooth shot out of the Celestial Soldier's mouth like a bullet, piercing Nishijōichirō's eyeball.

Ahhhhh... His eye destroyed, Nishijōichirō no longer cared about killing, clutching his eye and kneeling on the ground, letting out hysterical screams.

At that moment, Katō Masaru rushed over.

Kishimoto quickly shouted, "Hurry, pick up the gun and kill him!"

The Celestial Soldier struggled furiously, his strength growing; the capture rope fixed to the ground suddenly broke at one corner, and the Celestial Soldier was about to break free.

Katō sensed the danger, quickly picked up the weapon, aimed at the Celestial Soldier's head, and wanted to pull the trigger.

But at that moment, Katō hesitated. Because he knew that once he pulled the trigger, he would kill a life.

But Katō didn't have the courage to kill.

The Celestial Soldier roared continuously; the second corner of the capture rope fixed to the ground broke, and he shouted, "Die! You all must die! All of you must die!!"

Katō was startled, and he immediately understood that this was a life-or-death situation; if he didn't shoot, once the Celestial Soldier broke free, everyone would be killed by him.

The young man and woman hiding nearby shouted at Katō, "Shoot! Shoot now!"

Just as the Celestial Soldier was about to break the third corner and fully escape, Katō finally closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

The next second, the third fixed point of the capture rope was broken by the Celestial Soldier. He revealed a ferocious gaze, looked at Katō, and reached out a large hand toward Katō's head, but at that moment, his head suddenly exploded.

Bang!

Blood and brain matter splattered everywhere, directly covering Katō's face. Katō froze, then bent over, knelt on the ground, and vomited; his heart pounded wildly because he had killed someone.

At that moment, Katō heard another vomiting sound. He looked up and saw Kishimoto vomiting just as violently as he was. She had been tied together with the Celestial Soldier, and when his head exploded, it had also splattered all over her face.

After the Celestial Soldier died, Wang Bo continued to watch the scene.

Soon, the teleportation began.

One by one, everyone was teleported back to the black sphere room.

Wang Bo smiled slightly; it seemed the black sphere believed Wang Bo was dead and had sent everyone back.

Soon, all the survivors gathered in the room.

Including Katō Masaru, Kishimoto Megumi, and Nishijōichirō—after being teleported back, his eye, destroyed by the Celestial Soldier, had been repaired, and he still wore a cold expression, ignoring everyone.

Then there were a young man and woman, as well as an old woman and a child.

These four had basically just been bystanders, watching the whole thing without helping at all.

The last person was actually Kei Kurono.

The Celestial Soldier had kicked Kei Kurono away, only shattering his lumbar vertebrae, not killing him. After the incident ended, Kei Kurono naturally returned.

"Kei, thank goodness!" Katō Masaru saw Kei Kurono return safely and hugged him excitedly; he had almost thought Kei was going to die.

Kei Kurono looked relieved; he had thought he was going to die too, but he had survived—truly a blessing from heaven. And Kei Kurono made a decision: once he got back, he would immediately put on the reinforced suit and never take it off again unless absolutely necessary.

This time had been far too dangerous.
