441 Fight, Young Ladies, Show the Power of the Black and White Maidens (Second Update) : The Monthly Ticket Chart is about to be crushed, requesting a few monthly tickets. If judged purely by energy intensity, this stone could already rival Gaia, which represents the World Will, and Alaya, which represents the will of all humanity. Fortunately, this stone possesses no consciousness of its own; otherwise, even he would be in considerable danger… After all, the energy contained within it was equivalent to a nuclear bomb threatening humanity for Lin Luo.

Frankly, Lin Luo dared not casually interact with such a great killing weapon. A mere touch had caused its energy to fluctuate; who knew what action might cause it to erupt completely. However, if this power could be harnessed correctly, it could serve as a trump card.

To discard it carelessly, only for it to fall into the hands of the Netherworld, would be too dangerous. Moreover, this stone might belong to Yomi and Kagura… As the saying goes, existence implies meaning. The fact that this stone appeared only after he formed contracts with them must carry some significance.

Yet, there was the difficulty of removing it while simultaneously avoiding its rampage—a major conundrum, especially since he couldn't touch it directly… Wait! Suddenly, Lin Luo remembered his storage space. His storage space was a "vacuum world," equivalent to a demi-plane.

Though he could open or close it with his consciousness, his power could not penetrate it. Therefore, perhaps placing the stone inside the storage space might work… Even if it accidentally went berserk, he could simply discard the storage space. Although slightly risky, it was worth a try.

With this thought, Lin Luo hesitated no longer. He immediately opened the storage space and drew the stone inside. Upon entry, aside from a very slight initial ripple, no other abnormality occurred, which made Lin Luo secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After the fluctuation completely subsided, he observed for several more seconds, confirming everything was normal before closing the storage space. “This should resolve the issue, right?” Although the action taken was simple, it had left Lin Luo feeling shaken. Just in case, he extended a thread of perception into the storage space, allowing him to monitor its condition instantly.

“Big Brother, that stone just now seemed incredibly dangerous?” When Lin Luo returned to the side of the three, Arthur suddenly said in a deep voice, having felt a pang of dread even from that distance. “You noticed too? Indeed.” Lin Luo nodded, then his gaze settled on Yomi and Kagura, smiling, “I believe the reason the Netherworld dared not deal with you personally is because of this stone.

It poses a massive threat to us Walkers.” “This stone belongs to us?” Hearing Lin Luo’s words, both girls exchanged looks of astonishment. “Something like that. Although I don't know the exact circumstances, it certainly existed within you before, just that none of us noticed it.” As he spoke, Lin Luo recalled Xiao Ber’s skill—Flash of Lightning.

Flash of Lightning could convert formless blessings into tangible entities and vice versa. Perhaps this stone was the same; previously manifesting as a blessing-like, intangible entity attached to them, it was converted into a physical form by the higher-level World Heart upon his contracting with them, thereby being ejected… Otherwise, there was no way to explain why they had never known of its existence. Yomi and Kagura looked at each other, a chill running down their spines… Good heavens!

A terrifying weapon capable of obliterating the entire Earth had been hidden within them all along. How could this be? “Well, you don’t need to be so afraid,” Lin Luo chuckled, seeing their pale faces.

“The fact that it remained with you for a period without causing any adverse effects suggests it poses no threat to you. Furthermore, if we are being honest, without its protection, the Netherworld probably would have dealt with you long ago, and you wouldn't have survived until now.” “…Let’s just assume that’s the case then.” Though Lin Luo spoke lightly, the two directly involved could not relax. But since Lin Luo had said so, and the stone was now removed, worrying further was pointless.

“So where did you hide the stone now?” Tsuchimiya Kagura suddenly asked with curiosity. “It’s placed in a relatively safe location. If you want it, I can hand it over to you, since your touch doesn't cause any reaction.

Of course, now that it has materialized, you would have to carry it physically. How about it, do you want it?” Lin Luo asked earnestly. “No!” Both immediately shook their heads.

Are you kidding? They certainly didn't want to carry around such a devastating weapon. “Alright, then I’ll keep holding onto it.” Lin Luo smiled.

He had only been joking; even if they truly wanted it, he wouldn't entrust such a dangerous object to them. While this stone might make the Netherworld hesitant, if the opponent became desperate, it could potentially be turned against him. After all, it was a major weapon for both sides.

Keeping it hidden away was the better option. “Roar!!!” Just then, deep roars echoed from a distance, growing louder, and the sound of chaotic footsteps could faintly be heard. Undoubtedly, the Evil Spirits had attacked.

Lin Luo maintained his calm composure and stated seriously, “We’ve said all that needs to be said. Since the enemy has arrived, there is no need for us to retreat. Now is the time for a counterattack.” “Yes!” The three nodded firmly.

Yomi and Kagura’s strength was already incomparable to yesterday; the burgeoning power within them made them eager to test it out, brimming with excitement. Arthur, despite no personal growth, feared no enemy due to his immortality—at worst, he’d just be killed once and feel the pain for a short while. “Shikurei Manifestation—Hakurui!” “Guren!” As the figures of the Evil Spirits appeared within their line of sight, Yomi and Kagura decisively summoned their respective Spirit Beasts.

Hakurui’s massive body soared skyward, its roar shaking the surroundings as it charged straight into the swarm of Evil Spirits, beginning a wide sweep. Guren also seemed significantly stronger due to Yomi’s advancement; a roaring blast erupted from it, instantly pulverizing the foremost few Evil Spirits. The two young ladies wasted no time, tapping the ground with their toes as they flashed forward like lightning.

Mid-air, the sharp rush of wind howled past, the surrounding scenery blurring like fleeting shadows, the speed infinitely greater than before. Yet, what astonished them even more was that even at this extreme velocity, they could control it with ease… Speed, reaction time, and awareness—these three elements seemed to have reached an unprecedented height of balance. The fluidity of their movements was beyond words.

This… is proof of our strength? The two exchanged a knowing glance, a smile simultaneously gracing their faces. The next moment, they plunged into the horde of Evil Spirits.

Facing the terrifying specters looming above and before them, not an ounce of fear resided in their hearts as they brought down their blades! Speed achieved, reactions honed, awareness sharp—all that remained was… Power! Swish!

A flash of lightning-quick blade light descended. Before a scream could even escape, the grotesque crawling creature, stronger than those from yesterday, was cleaved into several pieces by a single strike. The lingering sharpness of the blade momentum continued towards other Evil Spirits with undiminished ferocity.

Swish swish swish swish… The two young ladies danced among the Evil Spirits like butterflies, but every movement brought forth a fatal strike. Countless spirits fell under their beautiful yet merciless assault. Their swordsmanship was like dazzling rainbows, their swordsmanship like roaring light.

In mere moments, that entire large group of Evil Spirits was cleanly eradicated by the combined efforts of the two maidens. They stood back-to-back, and within a radius of dozens of meters around them, not a single enemy remained standing. Formless spirits were purified, and tangible ones were reduced to shattered limbs, yet they themselves remained unsullied, as elegant and outstanding as before.

This was the Elementary Spirit Rank of Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura—this was the power of their Black and White Maidens! This scene stunned not only Arthur but even Lin Luo with surprise. The Evil Spirits attacking this time were far from ordinary; nearly eighty percent were elites ranked at least at High Human Rank, with quite a few at Peak Human Rank, and even several that had barely clawed their way up to the Spirit Rank.

Yet, facing the combined assault of Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, they couldn't last even five minutes before their entire force was annihilated! When these two fought together, the combat power they exerted was clearly not additive! Lin Luo sighed internally.

One plus one doesn't just equal two. Similarly, being possessed by the same World Heart and even possessing a Mind Battle Technique like "Instantaneous Telepathic Connection," these two Elementary Spirit Ranks could effectively wield the power of an Intermediate Spirit Rank or even higher. With this realization, Lin Luo felt a stir of excitement.

Initially, after discovering that the two young ladies possessed only the meager strength of Mid Human Rank, he had worried they might turn into mere decorative pieces. But now, that worry seemed entirely unfounded. None of those possessed by the World Heart are ordinary people—like Misaka Mikoto, Evangeline, or Tohsaka Rin—even if they aren't the main protagonists of their current world, they are at least the favored daughters of heaven in their respective worlds.

And Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura are not only favored daughters of heaven but also the Children of the Plane for this world. Decorative pieces? Absolutely not possible.

“Big Brother, I suddenly feel a little insecure,” Arthur said with a sigh at this moment. He had been quite eager to join the battle, but the two young ladies had struck first. Their dazzling figures had utterly stunned him.

By the time he recovered, the enemies were already defeated, leaving him no room to act. “Well, how to put this… you don’t need to be too insecure. There’s a reason they suddenly became so strong.

As a Walker, your potential isn't any worse than theirs,” Lin Luo scratched his head, unsure of how to phrase it.
