"Are they here?"
Everyone could feel the subtle vibrations on the ground, clearly indicating that a large number of heavy individuals were approaching. But there was no fear on people's faces; they were going to fight for their 'goddess'.
"For Goddess Yowane-sama, Ora! Ora! Ora~!"
A physical ability user tore off his upper clothing, revealing a body full of muscles, and directly moved through the many powered suits as if entering an unmanned area. It was clear he was a guy who had even trained his brain into muscle. Although very powerful, he only charged head-on.
"That idiot with only one brain cell, I'll cover him."
Another lean, short guy looked at the muscular man, who was displaying his 'divine power,' with an expression of exasperation. He knew his brother quite well; he would only charge, and after charging, he would charge at the next one. But those were machines! Not people! Damaged armor meant nothing, and they would stand up as if nothing had happened. You could just stomp on them a couple of times, and with your weight, you should be able to flatten them. It could only be said that intelligence was a major weakness.
"Forget it, forget it, I'll finish them off!"
The helpless short guy could only follow behind his buddy and start the cleanup operation.
"It seems they've been completely suppressed."
"Yes! I didn't expect so many people to help today, it's truly wonderful."
"At this rate, we'll be able to deal with them quickly."
"Don't be careless, watch out for injuries."
Ruiko and Kuroko, one using her ability, constantly transferred the javelins in her hands into the power sources of the powered suits. The moment she saw the structure, she immediately targeted that spot. This was the structural diagram of these unmanned powered suits provided by Mikoto, and she definitely had to remember it clearly. Moreover, this method was clearly many times more efficient than not knowing.
However, Ruiko's situation was a bit different; her ability had just appeared, and it was only at Haruue's level. Using this ability to overturn a powered suit was clearly impossible, so she took a metal baseball bat and went straight to smashing.
"Is this the place?"
"Looking at the blueprint Haruue provided, it should be here."
Two people glowing green flew into the stadium from the sky and slowly descended. After the green light dissipated, they were clearly Mikoto and Yowane. This time, Yowane used her psychokinesis to carry both of them, and the feeling of flying was quite good. Usually, she preferred to walk, or if she was in a hurry, she would instantly teleport. Now, the feeling of using psychokinesis to lift her body into the sky was still quite novel.
"It's impressive that you two, the Third and Fourth Ranked, managed to find this place. To praise your intelligence, I've specially prepared my latest invention to entertain you."
As the two looked around, the previously dark large screen suddenly lit up. A face that had appeared in the data emerged; this person was Arifuku Haruki. He looked as if he was in control of everything, observing the two. As his words fell, a large number of reinforced powered suits appeared, along with two huge white robots whose front sections resembled two turrets.
"You go in first!"
She directly enveloped Mikoto, who hadn't reacted yet, with psychokinesis and launched her into the entrance of the underground passage.
Apparently, he hadn't expected Yowane to put herself in a 'dangerous' situation. Arifuku Haruki exclaimed in surprise, but Yowane's subsequent power completely exceeded his imagination.
"Psychic Bomb."
"Boom~! Xn"
With a contemptuous smile, Yowane softly uttered the skill name. Hundreds of psychic crystals appeared throughout the stadium, and one by one, Yowane detonated them. The entire ground looked as if it had been showered with artillery fire, raising thick dust. When the dust cleared, the ground was full of craters and metal fragments.
"This is? Cough cough! To think I'd run into you."
"I also didn't expect to blast you out, Mugino Shizuri-san. Peeping isn't a good habit."
After clearing the dust around her, Yowane looked at the four people who were coughing while covering their noses, and said expressionlessly. She did it on purpose, to give this self-serving person a hard time.
"You, you're still as dazzling as ever."
Looking at Yowane, suspended about twenty centimeters off the ground, so beautiful under the sunlight, Mugino Shizuri said with a touch of emotion.
"Let's go! This little bit won't stump those two."
Turning to leave with her three 'followers', Mugino Shizuri stopped after two steps, then looked deeply at Yowane, who was watching them leave.
"You're best in the sunlight. Don't learn to be so meddlesome like that guy, otherwise, it won't do you or your friends any good."
After leaving such a dry remark, Mugino Shizuri left with her followers, leaving Yowane utterly bewildered.
"Is she concerned about me? Did I mishear because something's wrong with my brain, or did a string in her brain just snap?"
She never expected, nor had she ever interacted with Mugino Shizuri more than five times, for her to suddenly say such a thing. It completely contradicted her image! What happened? Is it the world's fault, or the hour's fault?
"It's all the hour's fault! Hmm, let's just believe that! That's the best answer."
Yowane nodded and left for the underground base; she still had to deal with Little Janie's matter.
"I... I finally said it! My dearest, I... I really said it!"
In a corner unseen by Yowane, Mugino Shizuri's face was as red as a tomato, completely lacking her earlier calm, mature demeanor. Her eyes were spinning in circles as she excitedly shook her dearest's shoulders, almost snapping her dearest's neck.
"Don't... don't be so nervous, Mugino. This is only the first step of the strategy guide: the suspenseful approach. We still have the next step, and the next step. My dearest is almost shaken to death by you."
Frenda cautiously spoke to the frenzied Mugino Shizuri. This comment was very important. Mugino Shizuri released her dearest, instantly ran in front of her, and held her shoulders.
"Well! Frenda, I'm a little scared now. Riko, save me."
"You're right, Frenda, I must calm down, but encountering such a perfect person, I can't help myself. I want to get her immediately, get her right away, get her now."
Mugino Shizuri's face showed a honey-like smile. Her smile made the three of them tremble in fear, especially that 'terrifying' statement.
"You go figure out a way, otherwise, Frenda won't get a bonus."
Completely passing the buck to the petite girl in front of her, Mugino Shizuri left with two others, leaving Frenda with a bewildered and 'it's over' expression. Feeling unprecedented pressure from the 'mission', Frenda couldn't help but roar: "Misfortune~!
