CHAPTER 458: CHAPTER 458: WHY ARE BROTHER LI’S PECTORAL MUSCLES SO EXAGGERATED?

Listening to the blond girl’s muttering, the Amaterasu shook her head.

"I tend to think they are using authorities like [concealment][covering][hiding] to shield other Heroic Spirits from sensing them."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Haomiao’s heart suddenly stirred, while Gabriel frowned.

"If their authority can shield the world’s original laws, then things will be troublesome. We don’t have any related Divine Authority, they are in the dark while we are exposed, akin to one-sided intelligence transparency..."

But you guys don’t have it, I do!

Don’t lump me in with you bunch of Mao Gods!

Secretly grumbling in his heart, Zhu Haomiao still maintained a solemn expression on the surface and nodded thoughtfully.

After some discussion, the three of them didn’t come up with any good solutions, and could only agree to share information with each other next time they had any.

After Gabriel left, Zhu Haomiao turned to look at the Amaterasu.

"I need to return and recuperate for a while, what about you?"

Upon hearing this, the Amaterasu raised an eyebrow and looked at the young man in black in surprise.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll erase your [Master] while you’re away?"

Zhu Haomiao scoffed dismissively, confident.

"Heh, you’re not that stupid."

If you make the first move, I’m willing to go all out by the fifteenth. An unfettered Mythical Descender retaliating wildly in the All Heavens Illusion Realm would make even the Amaterasu’s skin crawl.

Not to mention, there’s also the ultimate card of offline reality...

Amaterasu: "..."

After a moment of silence, the dignified and graceful girl silently rolled her eyes and turned to walk toward the Yin Yang Pavilion.

Watching her back disappear behind the barrier, Zhu Haomiao turned and walked in the opposite direction.

"He Ge, I’m going to sleep, call me if anything comes up."

Leaving a faint message in the spiritual link, his ethereal figure merged into the darkness in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

Ten minutes later, in an inconspicuous underground parking lot, Zhu Haomiao saw Wilson waiting by a black sedan.

"My Lord."

"Mmm."

Sitting in the back seat, the car quietly exited the underground parking lot and sped towards the outskirts.

At the same time, Zhu Haomiao fully activated the authority of [Sloth], and invisible gray-white threads wrapped around him layer by layer, obscuring his information from the concept and existence levels.

Meanwhile, in the Yin Yang Pavilion dozens of kilometers away, Abe Waka felt something and instinctively raised her hand, vaguely seeing illusory threads like spider silk wrapping around her hand.

Soon, the dark dragon-patterned spell on her hand gradually dimmed and slowly hid beneath her skin.

...

"My Lord, we’ve arrived."

Following Wilson through a gloomy, long tunnel, a familiar Seven-pointed Star bronze gate appeared before Zhu Haomiao.

"Tsk tsk, how did you get such a big project done in such a short time?"

Looking around at the reinforced concrete passage, Zhu Haomiao couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.

"This was originally an air-raid shelter from the war period, later abandoned. I bought it and made a few modifications."

"No wonder..."

Nodding thoughtfully, Zhu Haomiao took a step forward, and the Seven-pointed Stars on the massive bronze gate lit up one by one, seemingly sensing the master’s presence, the heavy gate slowly opened.

"Go, keep an eye on Abe Waka for me, call me if anything happens."

Watching the young man’s black figure disappear into the closing bronze gate, Wilson respectfully placed his hand on his chest.

"Your will."

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao lay on a comfortable big bed and softly called out.

"Diao Chan."

"Tsk~"

A lump of snow-white fluff appeared without warning in his vision, then plopped onto his face.

Zhu Haomiao: "..."

Grumpily pulling Diao Chan from his face and casually stuffing it into his "pouch," the young man in black took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

Detach!

Return!

His soul separated from his body. In a wondrous sense of weightlessness, Zhu Haomiao felt dazed, and when he came to his senses, his toes had already touched solid ground.

Looking around, the vast platform was surrounded by twinkling endless void. It was only then that Zhu Haomiao remembered that he had entered the Illusion Realm from the Stargazing Pavilion.

"I figured you’d be coming out soon. How was it inside?"

Not far away, Liu Hongbin, playing with his phone out of boredom, brightened up and quickly approached.

"Uh, it’s... strange..."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Haomiao found a rather improper description and then narrated his experiences in the Illusion Realm in detail to Liu Hongbin.

"Amaterasu?"

"Why did you meet her again?"

"Amon Ra?"

"Two Sun Gods?"

"Gabriel? Judgment Angel?"

...

Liu Hongbin’s eyes widened more and more, and when he later heard the names of Cain, Thor, and Athena, his face was left completely numb.

"This Illusion Realm is truly blessed, with so many gods and demons serving it alone..."

Muttering subconsciously, Liu Hongbin’s brows gradually furrowed.

"This lineup is terrifyingly strong..."

"Holy Grail War... do you think such a thing can really grant all wishes?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao shook his head decisively.

"That should be a magical spell similar to greed... hmm, a Wish Spell. Theoretically, it can modify reality to a certain extent, but ultimately there are its limits."

As long as you give me enough [greed coins], I can also come up with a [Holy Grail] for you!

Silently ridiculing in his heart, Zhu Haomiao changed the subject and began introducing the special magic in the Illusion Realm.

"Sounds like it has research value, but this Illusion Realm probably leans towards a Western heritage world. The [Holy Grail] inside may have some connection to the real-world Christian Holy Object..."

After pondering for a few seconds, Liu Hongbin patted Zhu Haomiao on the shoulder, comfortingly.

"You’ve worked hard, I will write a report on the information you collected and submit it. You should go back and rest assured."

"Mmm."

Leaving the Stargazing Pavilion, Zhu Haomiao returned to school, and just as he entered the dormitory, he received a call.

"Shui, I have a friend who is about to starve."

"Senior sister, there’s no one else here, just say it directly, isn’t this friend you?"

"No, it’s Cangcang!"

"He sure is lucky to have a friend like you!"

"Of course, blessed by Bao Youfu~"

...

After a few idle exchanges, Zhu Haomiao hung up the phone and sighed helplessly, turning to leave the dormitory.

Just returned to reality, and senior sister’s call came...

Did she plant surveillance on me?

As the suspicious thought arose, an image of Liu Hongbin suddenly surfaced in Zhu Haomiao’s mind, and he immediately understood.

Damn!

There’s a traitor!

All in the name of matchmaking chaos, this guy went all out...

Quietly complaining in his heart, Zhu Haomiao arrived at the villa area, familiarly opened the door, and changed his shoes.

"You’re back~"

"Mmm."

"I’ve bought all the groceries, just waiting for you to showcase your skills."

Seeing Ye Wan Ning’s bright smile, Zhu Haomiao inexplicably felt a faint warmth, and smiled, nodding.

"Where’s Cangcang?"

"Still showering."

No sooner had he spoken than a slender figure, drying her long hair, came down from upstairs, and the warmth on Zhu Haomiao’s face instantly froze.

No way!

Why are Brother Li’s chest muscles so exaggerated?
