Eto and the others watched as Amano Hiro smashed Kaiko into the wall in just two strikes, the same Kaiko who had been suppressing them moments ago.
Their spirits immediately lifted. Now it was time to counterattack.
The men in black from V felt complicated emotions. Their leader had been beaten to an unknown state of life or death in a single exchange by the opponent's leader.
Facing these ghouls, each of whom was at least SS+, they could only grit their teeth and charge forward.
Without Kaiko suppressing the One Eyed Owl, the battle instantly reversed.
What had been a stalemate turned directly into a one sided slaughter.
For Eto, so called Special Class Investigators were nothing more than a dimensionality reduction strike.
They could not even maneuver against her and were directly slaughtered into collapse.
Kaiko was still making his final struggle. "Carnage, even if you kill me, you still cannot defeat the Washuu Clan. In the end you will die. Your only way out is to join V. Once you join V, this leader position will be yours. That is your final destination."
Hearing Kaiko's nonsense, Amano Hiro almost laughed out loud. "Don't worry. How could I kill you?"
Kaiko's heart instantly filled with joy. Carnage was still afraid of the Washuu Clan. Once he joined V, he would have plenty of ways to deal with him.
"As long as you tell me where the Washuu Clan members are hiding, I will let you go."
As Amano Hiro's words fell, the tiny hope that had just risen in Kaiko's heart was instantly shattered.
This bastard would not let him go. Even if he revealed the Washuu location, he would not be spared.
Since death was inevitable either way, how could he tell him. "Heh. I will wait for you in hell, Carnage."
Amano Hiro looked at Kaiko, who had closed his eyes to await death, and said nothing more. His claws flashed and directly carved him into a human stick.
"Ah ah ah. Bastard. You."
Before he could finish speaking, Amano Hiro grabbed his head and lifted him up, carrying him out for Eto and Manager Yoshimura to execute.
It could be considered letting them take revenge.
When Amano Hiro came out, the scene was chaotic.
Although many men in black remained, they were now being chased everywhere by Eto and the others.
Holding Kaiko like that, he entered the field and began harvesting like cutting leeks. The efficiency was like a massive combine harvester reaping wheat.
With a casual sweep of his wings, a large number of them fell. In just a few minutes, all the men in black at the scene were completely wiped out.
He tossed the human stick in his hand toward Eto and Manager Yoshimura. "He's yours to deal with."
Although Kaiko's half human body was much stronger than that of an ordinary human, being carved into a human stick and dragged around like that had already left him close to death.
Manager Yoshimura looked at Kaiko lying on the ground like a dead dog, his feelings extremely complicated.
The culprit who had caused Ukina's death was now at his mercy.
"Kaiko, did you ever think there would be a day like this?"
"Kuzen, back then. It was unavoidable." He was still making excuses.
Manager Yoshimura was speechless at Kaiko's nonsense.
Eto did not have such patience. She had no interest in listening to his garbage. This was the man who had caused her to lose her mother at birth,
who had kept her from recognizing her father for so many years and created so many misunderstandings.
She had long wanted to skin him alive. A crazed smile appeared on Eto's kagune covered face.
Now was the best time to act. If she did not torment him bit by bit, the hatred in her heart would not dissipate.
All six kagune arms were put to full use, moving deftly and gently.
The movements were gentle like dismantling a precision instrument, careful not to damage any component during the process.
The scene instantly turned into a symphony of Kaiko's screams and the tearing of flesh.
Manager Yoshimura simply watched his daughter torture Kaiko. Thinking of Ukina's fate, he could not help but feel a trace of satisfaction.
"Just. Kill. Me."
Kaiko was on the verge of being driven insane by the torment, yet his physical constitution prevented him from fainting.
"Hahaha. You want to die. I'm not done playing yet."
One of Eto's kagune arms grabbed Kaiko, who now resembled a peeled chestnut, and began rubbing him directly against the rough ground.
Kaiko could no longer scream, only managing hoarse sounds from his throat.
In the quiet environment, the sound of approaching vehicles on the road was especially obvious.
Hearing vehicles approaching, Amano Hiro reminded, "Time to go, Eto. The CCG has arrived."
Only after hearing Amano Hiro's reminder did Eto calm herself and toss aside Kaiko, who had become a lump of rotten flesh.
......
"Be careful. Do not lower your guard."
Those who arrived were investigators on duty at CCG headquarters. Their numbers were not large.
As soon as they entered the Sunlit Garden, they were shocked by the scene before them. Severed limbs were everywhere.
"Ugh."
Some investigators with weaker wills had already vomited.
Ui Koori looked at the corpses covering the ground, his expression changing. There was not a single intact body at the scene.
"It seems we arrived too late."
Hōji Kousuke's voice came through his specially made mask, somewhat muffled.
After being caught in a Quinque attack wave during the Owl Suppression Operation and suffering severe facial burns,
he had worn this mask ever since. His gaze calmly swept over the scene, yet a trace of gravity lay hidden in his eyes.
"Yes. They're all dead." Suzuya Juuzou's tone rose lightly, as if he were casually commenting on the weather.
Ui Koori withdrew his gaze and quickly gave orders. "All personnel, form groups of three and begin a search. Check for wounded and remain alert for surprise attacks by remaining ghouls."
The investigators quickly dispersed, well trained yet unable to conceal their tension.
Before long, a young investigator hurried back, his voice trembling slightly. "Report. No wounded found. Also. No survivors."
Ui Koori's figure stiffened.
Others might only be shocked by the brutality of the scene, but as a former member of Squad Zero, he knew exactly what the Sunlit Garden represented.
This was not only a base for cultivating half human warriors, but also V's most important stronghold in Tokyo.
Most members of the Squad Zero led by Arima Kishou had come from the Sunlit Garden, and their strength was extremely formidable.
Although he did not know that the Washuu family were ghouls, he was aware of the half human organization.
Moreover, Arima Kishou's teacher should have been stationed here. It appeared he had not been spared either.
From receiving the urgent intelligence to rushing here at full speed, only a little over half an hour had passed.
To slaughter such a place completely in such a short time, and leave not a single ghoul corpse at the scene.
Either the ghouls had very few in number but each terrifyingly strong, or they had taken all their companions' corpses with them.
But in such a short time, wiping out the Sunlit Garden and then taking all the corpses was clearly impossible. That left only the former.
That meant the ghouls' strength was already extremely terrifying. The CCG was likely no longer their opponent.
Suzuya Juuzou still tilted his head, his expression unchanged.
Hōji Kousuke and Ui Koori exchanged a glance, and both saw a heavy shadow in the other's eyes.
