Chapter 30 - chapter 30: in Shibuya part 5

My surroundings shifted abruptly, and I found myself standing in what appeared to be a dimly lit laboratory. The air was heavy with an unsettling stillness, and my gaze was drawn to human-sized tubes filled with an eerie liquid. Inside each tube, figures were suspended – people, their forms distorted by the liquid medium.

A sense of disbelief and horror washed over me as I took in the grotesque plans laid out across the lab. Charts, blueprints, and notes detailed inhumane experiments. It dawned on me – were these creatures we've been facing, the monstrous entities of the dark realm, once human?

My voice, almost a whisper, echoed through the sterile air. "What is this place? Are these experiments turning people into those monstrous creatures?"

The revelation struck me like a thunderbolt. The very beings we had battled, each with its own monstrous form, might have once been ordinary individuals. The implications of such experiments raised questions about the morality and ethics of those responsible for such abominable transformations.

I approached one of the tubes, my eyes fixated on the person within. Their face seemed frozen in a pained expression, as if trapped in an eternal struggle. The weight of their suffering lingered in the sterile atmosphere.

A surge of anger and determination welled within me. "Who would do something like this? Turning people into monsters for some twisted purpose."

The more I explored the lab, the more the extent of the experiments became evident. Notes hinted at a connection between the transformed creatures and a mysterious organization. It fueled a growing sense of urgency – to uncover the truth behind these inhumane acts.

The darkened realm seemed to press in on me as I grappled with the implications. Were these experiments a twisted attempt to harness supernatural power? Or was there a darker motive lurking in the shadows?

As I continued my exploration, a grim realization settled over me – the monsters we faced weren't simply products of the dark realm; they were the tragic results of experiments gone horribly wrong. The weight of responsibility pressed on my shoulders as I vowed to expose the truth and put an end to the suffering inflicted upon these unwitting victims.

The journey through the laboratory became a quest for justice, fueled by the need to confront those responsible for such heinous experiments. The revelations within those sterile walls ignited a fervor within me, transforming the mysterious realm into a battleground where the fight for truth and redemption took center stage.

Vali, standing beside me in the nightmarish laboratory, shared the same sense of horror and disgust etched across her usually composed features. The revelation of the grotesque experiments left an indelible mark on both of us.

Her voice, tinged with a mix of disbelief and disdain, resonated in the sterile air. "This is beyond reprehensible. Turning people into these abominations – it's an affront to everything I stand for. Who could be behind such atrocities?"

The Divine Dividing wings on Vali's back pulsed with a subtle glow, reflecting her inner turmoil. As she surveyed the tubes filled with the suspended figures, a fierce determination ignited in her silver eyes. "Kousei, we can't let those responsible for this escape justice. No one should play with the lives of others in such a twisted manner."

I nodded in agreement, the weight of the revelation settling heavily on both of us. "Vali, we need to uncover the truth behind these experiments and put an end to this madness. These people, once ordinary individuals, deserve justice."

Vali clenched her fists, the glow of her wings intensifying. "Justice will be served, Kousei. I won't allow these monstrous experiments to continue. Let's find those responsible and make them answer for their crimes."

As we delved deeper into the labyrinthine secrets of the laboratory, Vali's disgust transformed into a steely resolve. Notes and documents revealed a sinister organization at the heart of these experiments, pulling strings from the shadows.

"These experiments must have a purpose, a motive," Vali pondered, her mind racing to unravel the mysteries. "We need to understand what drives these individuals to commit such heinous acts. And then, we bring them to justice."

The Divine Dividing wings spread wide as Vali prepared for the challenges ahead. "Kousei, we may be facing adversaries more formidable than the creatures we've encountered. But we can't let fear or disgust hinder our pursuit of justice. Are you with me?"

With a determined nod, I affirmed our shared commitment. "I'm with you, Vali. Let's expose the truth, confront those responsible, and put an end to this nightmare. No one should have their humanity stolen and twisted for the sake of some dark agenda."

Within the depths of my consciousness, the cultivation system resonated with newfound vigor. A telepathic connection established itself, a silent dialogue unfolding between the essence of the Avenger and the core of my being.

System Voice:Avenger, your resolve has ignited the dormant powers within. The quest for justice is now your driving force, and the cultivation system responds to this call.

The system's voice, echoing in my mind, carried an ethereal resonance. The telepathic communication seemed to transcend the confines of spoken language, delving into the essence of my purpose.

Kousei:What does this transformation entail? How does the system enhance my abilities in pursuit of justice?

System Voice:the Avenger's activation unleashes buffs tailored to your quest. Enhanced speed, heightened perception, and an amplification of your qi control are at your disposal. Your once golden aura has transformed into a potent combination of red and purple, symbolizing the amalgamation of your determination and the pursuit of justice.

As the system communicated, I could sense the subtle shifts within me. Each word resonated with the empowerment granted by the Avenger's activation. The newfound buffs infused a sense of confidence, as if the very fabric of my being synchronized with the quest to unveil the truth and bring retribution to those who had suffered.

Kousei:How can I utilize these enhanced abilities to confront the darkness within this laboratory?

System Voice:your qi control is refined, allowing for precise manipulation. The heightened speed will grant you swiftness in navigating the labyrinthine corridors. Your perception has been sharpened, enabling you to discern the subtleties within the shadows. Trust in the power of the Avenger to guide you.

With the guidance of the system, I embraced the newfound abilities. The red and purple aura pulsated with each step, a testament to the Avenger's awakening. As Vali and I ventured deeper into the heart of the laboratory, the telepathic communication with the system served as a guiding force, providing insights and empowering me to face the malevolence that awaited.

The Avenger's Edge, now an extension of my enhanced capabilities, gleamed with purpose. With the system as my silent companion, the journey through the darkened corridors became a symphony of justice, each step resonating with the power awakened by the Avenger's call.

The moment my eyes shifted to a deep, intense red, a surge of unrestrained determination flowed through me. The Avenger's Edge, gripped firmly in my hand, resonated with the newfound power coursing through my veins. Vali, standing beside me, was momentarily stunned at the visible transformation.

Vali's silver eyes widened, reflecting both surprise and a tinge of concern. "Kousei, what's happening? Your eyes... they've changed."

The red glow intensified, emanating a palpable aura of resolve. As I spoke, the telepathic connection with the system echoed within my mind, intertwining with the essence of the Avenger. "Vali, this is the power of the Avenger fully awakened. The quest for justice has ignited a transformation within me."

Vali, ever the composed warrior, studied the transformation with a discerning gaze. "I've never witnessed anything like this. The intensity of your aura, the change in your eyes... it's as if justice itself has manifested within you."

Vali:" so he was right there is more to that avenger than just a name "

The Avenger's Edge gleamed with an ethereal light, resonating with the purpose it now embodied. The red and purple aura that surrounded me pulsated with every beat of my determined heart. "Volgan, the one responsible for these monstrous experiments, will face the consequences. Justice will prevail, no matter the darkness that stands in our way."

Vali, recognizing the gravity of the situation, nodded in agreement. "Kousei, I've always known you were exceptional, but this transformation takes it to a whole new level. Let's bring an end to this nightmare and ensure that those who have suffered find peace."

As we ventured further into the labyrinthine corridors of the laboratory, the transformed aura served as a beacon of retribution. Each step resonated with a fierce determination to confront Volgan and unveil the truth behind the experiments.

The Avenger's Edge, now an embodiment of justice, seemed to hum with approval. The telepathic communication with the system continued, guiding me through the shadows and providing insights into the unfolding challenges. The red and purple aura, a visual manifestation of the Avenger's awakened power, became a testament to the unwavering pursuit of justice.

Vali, her initial surprise transforming into a shared determination, walked alongside me. The laboratory became a battlefield where justice clashed with darkness, and the transformed Avenger stood ready to face whatever malevolence awaited in the heart of the twisted experiments.

The eerie silence of the laboratory was shattered as I confronted the group of monstrous beings, once humans subjected to grotesque experiments. The red and purple aura surrounding me pulsed with a heightened intensity, reflecting the Avenger's awakened power. As I addressed the transformed individuals, a genuine plea echoed in my voice.

"Forgive me," I uttered, knowing the torment these beings had endured. The Avenger's Edge, now an extension of justice, gleamed with purpose as I prepared to face the consequences of the malevolent experiments.

With a swift motion, I initiated the Vengeful Strike, a skill honed by the Avenger's Edge in its awakened state. The blade, infused with the amplified power granted by the Avenger mode, cut through the air with newfound precision. My movements, fueled by the telepathic guidance of the system, became a dance of justice in the face of twisted darkness.

The monsters, once human, reacted with a mix of aggression and agony. Their distorted forms twisted in response to the Vengeful Strike, a technique that had become even stronger in the Avenger mode. The enhanced speed granted by the Avenger's activation allowed me to weave through their attacks effortlessly, each strike landing with calculated precision.

Vali, standing beside me, witnessed the transformed battle. The Divine Dividing wings flexed, and her silver eyes reflected a shared determination. "Kousei, show them the justice they've been denied."

As the battle unfolded, the red and purple streaks of the Avenger's aura intertwined with the ethereal glow of the Avenger's Edge. The laboratory, once a place of twisted experiments, became a battlefield where the Avenger's awakened power clashed with the shadows of the past.

I continued to engage the monstrous beings, my movements a symphony of calculated strikes and evasive maneuvers. The Vengeful Strike, now amplified by the Avenger mode, left a trail of justice in its wake. Each swing of the Avenger's Edge resonated with the resolve to bring an end to the suffering that had been inflicted upon these unwitting victims.

The monsters, caught in the whirlwind of the Avenger's justice, struggled to retaliate against the newfound strength. The battle scene unfolded with a chaotic beauty, a dance between the Avenger and the shadows that sought to envelop the truth.

As I pressed forward, guided by the Avenger's instincts and the telepathic insights of the system, the laboratory echoed with the clash of blades and the agonized cries of the transformed beings. The red and purple aura persisted, a testament to the unyielding pursuit of justice in the face of unimaginable darkness.

As the battle raged on in the laboratory, Vali, the White Dragon Empress, unleashed the power of her Divine Dividing wings. The silver glow of her wings intensified, and her silver eyes gleamed with a focused determination. With a confident smirk, she initiated her signature technique.

Divide!

The Divine Dividing wings extended to their full span, and a wave of energy radiated outward. The monsters, once human and now twisted by the experiments, were caught in the effect of Vali's ability. The strength of each opponent was halved, a testament to the formidable power of the Divine Dividing.

Vali:Every ten seconds, your strength will diminish.

Her words carried a subtle warning as she continued to navigate the battlefield with calculated precision. The monsters, now weakened by the relentless effect of Divine Dividing, struggled to mount a cohesive counterattack. Vali's strategy played out like a carefully orchestrated dance, each movement synchronized with the countdown of her ability.

I, witnessing Vali's prowess, continued my relentless assault with the Avenger's Edge. The enhanced speed granted by the Avenger mode complemented Vali's strategic divide, creating a harmonious synergy on the battlefield. Our attacks, a fusion of justice and draconic power, wove a narrative of retribution against the darkness that had marred the lives of those transformed beings.

Vali:Kousei, let's bring an end to this. The divide weakens them

I nodded in agreement, the telepathic connection with the system guiding our movements. The red and purple aura of the Avenger's activation persisted, a visual testament to the unwavering pursuit of justice. As the monsters faced the dual onslaught of Vali's divide and the Avenger's Edge, the laboratory echoed with the clash of powers and the lingering cries of the twisted beings caught in the crossfire.

The countdown of Vali's ability continued, each interval marking a diminishing of the monsters' strength. The battle scene unfolded with a rhythmic cadence, a dance between justice and the relentless passage of time. Vali, the White Dragon Empress, remained an unwavering force on the battlefield, her divine powers carving a path toward redemption.

Together, Vali and I forged ahead, the divide weakening our opponents with each passing moment. The laboratory, once a bastion of malevolent experiments, became the stage for the convergence of justice and draconic might. The monsters, ensnared by the combined power of Vali's divide and the Avenger's justice, faced the inevitable reckoning that awaited them in the heart of the twisted laboratory.

The eerie ambiance of the laboratory grew more intense as Vali and I pressed forward, our mission to uncover the truth unfaltering. Amidst the twisted experiments, my eyes caught sight of a large tube, and within it, a little girl with blue hair and purple eyes. Her innocent appearance clashed starkly with the sinister surroundings, and a sense of urgency enveloped the moment.

Kousei:Vali, look at her. She can't be more than ten years old. What have they done to her?

I voiced my concern, my gaze fixed on the young girl trapped within the confines of the tube.

Vali:Kousei, be careful. We don't know what they've turned her into. It could be a trap

Vali cautioned, her silver eyes narrowing as she assessed the situation. The Divine Dividing wings flexed slightly, ready for any potential threat that might arise.

Yet, as my empathy for the girl grew, I couldn't ignore the vulnerability in her eyes that resonated with the injustice of the experiments.

Kousei:I can't just leave her here. What if she's a victim of their twisted experiments?"

I asserted, the Avenger's Edge gleaming with purpose as I approached the tube. The telepathic connection with the system echoed softly in my mind, a silent acknowledgment of the pressing decision before me.

With a decisive strike, I shattered the glass, freeing the young girl from the confines of her unnatural prison. She stumbled out, her eyes wide with a mixture of fear and confusion. As she took in her surroundings, Vali remained vigilant, ready to intervene if any threat emerged.

Kousei:It's alright, we're here to help. What's your name?

I asked, extending a reassuring hand to the young girl. She hesitated for a moment before responding in a soft, trembling voice.

Little girl:I... I don't remember. They took everything from me

she uttered, her words carrying the weight of the tragedy within the laboratory. Vali's expression softened, recognizing the profound impact of the situation.

Vali:Kousei, we can't undo what they've done, but we can ensure her safety. Let's get her out of here

Vali suggested, nodding in agreement. I extended a reassuring hand to the young girl, and as she cautiously took it, a sense of responsibility welled within me.

The Avenger's power, now a beacon of justice, guided our path forward. The laboratory, once a den of darkness, now held the chance for redemption as we ventured to ensure the safety of the girl and confront the perpetrators behind these cruel experiments.

The little girl, still trembling from her ordeal, clung to me desperately. All she could recall was being in a lab, and her memory was a fragmented puzzle with missing pieces.

I wrapped my arms around her small frame, providing a comforting embrace.

Kousei:It's okay. I'm here now. You're safe

I reassured her, my voice carrying a soothing tone. The Avenger's aura, which moments ago exuded justice on the battlefield, now radiated a warmth meant to offer solace.

Tears welled up in her purple eyes as she looked up at me, her plea echoing in a soft, fearful voice.

Little girl:Please, don't leave me. I don't want to be alone.

Hugging her even tighter, I vowed

Kousei:You're not alone anymore. We won't leave you. We'll find a way to help you remember and keep you safe

Vali, standing beside us, observed the emotional scene with a softened expression. The Divine Dividing wings, no longer in a combat stance, seemed to convey a sense of understanding and empathy.

Vali:Kousei, let's get her out of here. Whatever happened in this place, she deserves a chance at a better life,

Vali suggested, her voice resonating with determination to provide the girl a new beginning.

With the little girl in my arms, we moved forward, guided by the Avenger's sense of justice. The laboratory, once a chamber of darkness, now held a glimmer of hope as we ventured to unravel the mysteries of her past and ensure a brighter future.
