Chapter 506: How Can the Junior Compare to the Senior?
Goeniko, the Blowing Storm, after Goenitz ended his own life due to his shattered faith, the power of "Blowing Storm" that should have returned to the Orochi's essence instead preferentially lodged itself within Goeniko. After a year of physical adaptation, Goeniko had fully awakened the power of the storm, identical to Goenitz's.
As the most common and versatile natural phenomenon on this planet, wind can be as gentle as a soft touch caressing someone's face, or as violent as to destroy the world.
And as an existence symbolizing the storms of nature, Goeniko naturally inherited the exact same traits.
"Give me back Yuki!!!"
Kyo Kusanagi, instinctively sensing the Orochi's power emanating from the opponent through the divine artifact Kusanagi Sword in his body, roared while an astonishing solar flame erupted from him.
But in response to Kyo Kusanagi's roar, Goeniko gave a very loud and penetrating snap of her fingers.
Snap!
A small hurricane, without warning, formed beneath Kyo Kusanagi, and the perennial repeater, caught off guard, was instantly blown into the air!
The first snap of the fingers was from bottom to top, followed by another snap from top to bottom.
Snap!
The second small hurricane that formed slammed Kyo Kusanagi back to the ground.
But just as Kyo Kusanagi was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a blinding light spread out in all directions with Kyo Kusanagi as the center. The entire area around the church became as bright as day, as if illuminated directly by a 100,000-lumen flashlight!
Goeniko covered her eyes with one hand.
Even the Blowing Storm had to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the blazing sun.
Kyo Kusanagi's "Solar Flare" was somewhat crude, because from the technique alone, it was almost identical to the method of rubbing sparks from a flint. But because it was used by Kyo Kusanagi, who had a high synchronization rate with the Sun God Gem Shard, this strong light did not appear to be any worse than Cheng Tian's.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kyo Kusanagi, having adjusted his posture, had two small bursts of fire erupt from his feet the moment he landed, then he charged towards Goeniko like a missile.
On the other side, following the address given by Chizuru Kagura and the "wind aura disturbance" information sensed by Irene not long ago, Cheng Tian and his group, who had already arrived nearby, received more precise location guidance from the explosive Kusanagi-style Solar Flare.
"Go!"
Aileen, controlling the motorcycle's direction while gliding in the air on the portable spring-assisted Lightning Rhythm, smoothly swapped positions with the dark-skinned archer Mina in the left sidecar (Mina had already learned how to use a motorcycle in advance). She threw out the Owl Spirit with a raise of her hand.
After completing the empathic synchronization, her hands began to flap like a bird... Even though the Owl, now a spirit, didn't actually need to flap its wings to fly, it was merely an instinct from its former life.
Without knowing when, Aileen's brazenness had also grown much thicker than before. This kind of physical imitation, forced by sensory synchronization, she would certainly not have easily used in front of others in the past. But now, she clearly had no such qualms, already immersed in her synchronized art.
Closely following was Helion in helicopter form, with Cheng Tian naturally being the pilot.
It was true that Cheng Tian's item bar was sealed, but the Void Garage did not rely on the item bar for its existence, but rather on titles, belonging to an exception to the rules. Cheng Tian could, of course, use the vehicles inside normally.
However, although vehicles could be used, all weapons were in an unusable red state. This was the rules restricting players from using vehicles to make underhanded attacks on other teams.
Of course, if you were truly determined to use a large transport to ram others, then space truly couldn't control it, after all, this was an action consistent with the current worldview.
Bazett and Fina were left by Cheng Tian in the laboratory, mainly to prevent sneak attacks from NESTS, the Shadaloo remnants, the South Town forces, and other enemies of Cheng Tian.
While it was true that Cheng Tian had achieved results in the competition, he had also inevitably, either actively or passively, offended a series of people.
The possibility of these people taking advantage of Cheng Tian's absence to negatively upgrade Cheng Tian's assets was quite high, and he had to be on guard.
Although the Raptor Warrior was very reliable, and the laboratory had gained some additional combat power compared to before, if the opponents disregarded martial ethics and used lethal firearms, the research progress of the laboratory would inevitably be halted, which Cheng Tian was unwilling to see.
The Owl Spirit quickly arrived above the church, and the scene of Kyo Kusanagi fighting Goeniko also came into Irene's sight.
Wind fueled the fire, and fire strengthened the wind's power; the scene of their battle was truly a blaze of sparks.
If this were a typical residential area with mostly wooden structures, it would probably be on fire by now.
Suddenly, Goeniko, who had just completed a throw on Kyo Kusanagi with an invisible hand made of wind, suddenly looked up, her gaze fixed on the location of the Owl Spirit. With a raise of her hand, a small hurricane mixed with a large amount of fine sand shot out.
Irene, synchronized with the Owl, almost instinctively tried to cover her face with her hands.
This type of wind could easily shred most organic and inorganic matter... but it couldn't cause any harm to the Owl, which was itself merely a soul body and inherently invulnerable.
The lack of tactile feedback from the wind made Goeniko very confused, because the gaze, belonging to some kind of life form, was not false.
Goeniko, sensing someone observing her during her battle with Kyo Kusanagi, diverted a small portion of her attention to that inexplicable gaze, and this in turn highlighted the true gap between her and Goenitz.
Goenitz, who died at the age of 41, whether in the application of Orochi's power or in his understanding of martial arts cultivation, was not someone a 17-year-old girl could compare to.
The power of the storm overflowing from the deceased Goenitz would indeed pass on some ability, experience, and the inherent mission as a Heavenly King of the Heavenly Kings to Goeniko, but the body's instincts would not lie.
This gap of 24 years of experience, as well as the natural physical differences between male and female, resulted in Goeniko still having a considerable gap from the true head of the Hakkesshu, "Blowing Storm Goenitz."
Goenitz could display an overwhelming advantage when facing Kyo Kusanagi, even being able to divide his attention to fight multiple opponents, but Goeniko could not!
This almost instantaneous shift in attention was seized upon by Kyo Kusanagi.
The "114 Shiki: Aragami," tempered to the point where its judgment could overpower most physical striking techniques, unpretentiously smashed through the storm barrier in front of him, landing a punch on Goeniko's shoulder, who only managed to turn sideways to try and dodge.
Kusanagi flames, imbued with the power of the sun, quickly spread from the struck shoulder to her entire body. Goeniko was sent flying backward, her burning figure falling into the church.
Almost at the same time, Irene, who had disconnected from synchronization with the Owl, had her eyes wide open as never before.
Because she had received a spatial prompt called [Breakthrough Challenge Laxia Ritual].
