Chapter 367: Guilty Crown!
Chapter 367: Guilty Crown! Yuzuriha Inori! Cross-world Rescue!
A pink-haired girl was running, her loosely tied twin tails hanging over her shoulders. The light screen before her was a surprise, yet no change in expression could be seen on her calm face.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A hail of bullets whizzed past her. It was clear she was being pursued. She had no mind to look at the content on the light screen. Her body nimbly dodged the bullets, but the human body was ultimately limited. When she wasn’t paying attention, she was hit by a stray bullet.
"Ugh!"
The sudden pain made the girl stumble. Seeing the lake in front of her, she decisively jumped into it.
"Damn it! Immediately dispatch an underwater search team!"
Many armored figures jumped into the lake. The girl dove into the cold lake bottom, but she couldn’t find an opportunity to leave, and the wound on her waist was still throbbing with pain. The icy water stimulated her body. Holding her breath for too long, her limbs began to weaken, and her vision started to blur.
[Ding! Detecting that Chat Group member Yuzuriha Inori’s life is in danger. Administrator, would you like to rescue her? Rescue time is three minutes!]
The sudden prompt made Ren pause. It was the first time he had seen such a message.
[Nami: Huh? A new member is going to die?]
[Silver Wolf: What happens if you choose not to save her?]
Silver Wolf just asked subconsciously, not expecting the Chat Group to actually reply.
[Ding! Detecting a group member’s query!]
[Ding! If rescue is abandoned, the group member dies, and a new member will be invited to replace their position!]
[Bronya: Replace...]
[Furina: Can only the Administrator rescue? Everyone should be able to, right?]
[Ding! Detecting a group member’s query!]
[Ding! The Administrator has the authority to forcibly open a member’s world-traveling permission for three minutes in emergency situations!]
[Furina: Ah... it seems only Ren can choose.]
[Tsunade: Ren, what are you going to do?]
Ren narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment, and made his choice.
[Ren: Rescue. It would be too tragic for this Yuzuriha Inori to die without saying a single word.]
[Ding! The Administrator has made the rescue choice!]
[Ding! Group member Yuzuriha Inori’s world-traveling permission is forcibly opened, effective for three minutes!]
"Sigh." Ren sighed. His bed hadn’t even gotten properly warm yet. He removed both hands from the warm, rounded forms on either side and kissed Cat and Kanae on their foreheads. "Something came up. I’ll be back soon."
"Mm." Both nodded, understanding.
Ren didn’t even bother to change out of his pajamas, stepping barefoot directly into the spatial wormhole.
As soon as he crossed over, he found himself deep within dark lake water. He sensed slightly and found a girl slowly sinking. It had to be her. Looking up, Ren wrapped an arm around the girl. Her eyes, on the verge of closing, vaguely saw his face.
"Have you found her?"
"No! She might have sunk to the bottom."
"Search the lake bottom! We need to see her alive, or her corpse!"
"Yes!"
The people above were conversing, but then they noticed the lake water surging violently.
"Roar!!!"
Suddenly, a dragon’s roar echoed.
Boom! A massive water column surged from the lake surface, like a giant dragon soaring into the sky. Immediately after, a golden dragon burst out from the water. Its massive body coiled and soared above the firmament, its scales shimmering with a dazzling light.
"Roar!!!" It let out a long roar, and the sound spread throughout the entire world. The golden dragon circled in the air, its tail carving graceful arcs and stirring up gusts of wind.
It hovered above the lake. The tiny humans below were awestruck, but they also noticed the figure held in its massive claw. A soldier shouted, "It’s the one who stole the Void Genome!"
But the commander only thought he was an idiot. The golden dragon clearly heard him, and its eyes looked towards them.
"Roar!" With a roar, the wind and clouds changed color. Dark clouds gathered. Boom! Several bolts of lightning struck from the sky, precisely where the soldiers were. There wasn’t even a scream. In an instant, the ground shattered into charred black, with not even human dregs remaining.
The golden dragon merely glanced, then swooped down, streaking across the sky like a golden bolt. The moment it landed, golden light burst forth.
Within the dissipating light, Ren stood barefoot on the charred ground, holding the pink-haired girl. The golden dragon had been his transformation, the Imperial Dragon. After learning the girl’s identity, he had eliminated those people. They were from GHQ. The girl was Yuzuriha Inori. This world was from Guilty Crown.
And what they called the Void Genome was the so-called King’s Power.
The girl, completely soaked, was at her last breath. Ren merely touched her, and the water on her clothes evaporated. Although the allure of a wet beauty was good, now was the time to save her.
He casually activated the power of reality rewriting, rewriting the fact that she was drowning.
The next second, Yuzuriha Inori opened her eyes. Her cherry-red eyes met his golden ones. Ren’s face returned to her blurry memory.
"It was you... who saved me."
"I don’t deny that. If you had noticed the Doomsday Chat Group before, you would know."
"Doomsday Chat Group... amazing," she blinked blankly.
