Tearju was very flustered. Today, she had planned to go sightseeing with her daughter and Yunyun's group. But for some reason, Eve suddenly seemed to have a fever and cold this morning.
This phenomenon was very rare. As a bio-weapon, Eve shouldn't catch colds. Since she was sick, Tearju had no choice but to stay home to take care of her.
She also needed to find a way to cure the cold and re-examine Eve's physical condition.
But by noon, Eve suddenly woke up from her sleep.
Her loli form suddenly changed into a teenage girl's body shape. Two horns appeared on the sides of her head, wings sprouted from her back, and even her pajamas transformed into some inexplicable battle outfit that made Tearju blush?
Well, as a bio-weapon with 'transformation ability', these changes were acceptable. After all, Tearju, who had copied Eve's abilities, could do the same.
She just copied the ability; she herself remained the same person.
Now that Eve had changed like this, and seemed to be mindlessly destroying things as if drunk, Tearju had no choice but to use an item she had drawn from the gacha called [Cage] to lock Eve inside.
Inside the [Cage], the use of any superpowers, magic, etc., was forcibly suppressed, turning the occupant into an ordinary person. The cage itself was also very difficult to break.
This card was an equipment item, S-class, which Tearju had drawn from the advanced gacha pool.
After locking Eve inside, there was no improvement. Eve kept trying to destroy everything in sight.
Seeing this, Tearju could only take a spacecraft and quickly head to the palace, asking where Kaito and Sephie were, and rushed directly here.
"Don't worry, let's go take a look."
Kaito had some idea of what was happening, but since this world differed greatly from the original work, he wasn't sure what the cause was.
But he recognized this transformation.
[DARKNESS]
In the original work, this was a program that caused Eve to go berserk due to losing control of her transformation ability. It was forcibly implanted into Eve's brain by the organization she previously belonged to.
The activation condition was Eve fully accepting the peaceful lifestyle she currently enjoyed.
Meaning, they would not allow Konjiki no Yami, who was created as a bio-weapon and assassin, to put down her weapons and return to a normal life.
They wanted her to remain the bio-weapon and assassin they needed, to continue fighting until death!
And the [DARKNESS]-transformed Eve possessed extremely strong combat abilities, capable of overturning the existing order of the universe and plunging it back into chaos.
The above might be an overstatement, but it was true that the combat ability of [DARKNESS]-transformed Eve skyrocketed.
Besides being able to deform the ground to attack opponents, she could also create multiple wormholes using her transformation ability.
These wormholes could even connect space.
This ability was very powerful. Whether this was part of the [DARKNESS] transformation or an ability she already had was unclear.
After all, To Love-Ru was a foundational manga from his childhood...
So he had forgotten a lot of the details.
Anyway, the thing Kaito remembered most clearly was that the [DARKNESS]-transformed Eve could upgrade her hand-blade to a "Planet Severing Blade", a massive golden blade formed after charging, with the terrifying ability to cut a planet in half.
'Oh yeah.'
'I recalled [DARKNESS] also change something else???'
Kaito began to recall while riding in Tearju's spacecraft. His memories were too distant, so he had forgotten much.
He remembered the combat abilities because he had argued about Eve's strength on forums before. Also, there were various fan games, like the anime arena map in Warcraft III, where Eve's ultimate ability was a single slash that cut the entire map in half.
Having already changed Eve's fate, Kaito wondered why did she undergo [DARKNESS] transformation.
Arriving at Tearju's super luxurious castle residence, Kaito followed Tearju to the hall.
Indeed, many places showed signs of being torn apart by claws or blades. Tearju had clearly fought her. The slightly magical, purple-light-formed cage held Eve captive.
The cage was large, but Eve wasn't calm inside.
Since all her abilities were restricted, she attacked with pure physical strength.
But the cage itself had S-class strength, so it couldn't be destroyed quickly, especially since Eve couldn't even use her transformation ability and could only punch it.
'It's indeed [DARKNESS] transformation...'
Seeing her transformed into a young girl, wearing a very revealing battle outfit, Kaito sighed helplessly.
It seemed Eve was currently in an unconscious, berserk state.
"Bet."
A golden clock like Kurumi's appeared in his right eye. As the minute hand moved, a bubble appeared where Kaito pointed.
"Turn off the cage."
"Ah? Okay!"
Tearju didn't ask why. Trusting Kaito, she manipulated the cage to shut it down and then take it back.
As soon as the cage disappeared, the [DARKNESS]-transformed Eve let out a victorious, wild laugh. Seeing Kaito and the others, she transformed her scarlet hand into a long blade and swung it at them.
At that moment, the bubble before Kaito's fingertip, with a flick, enveloped Eve.
She couldn't dodge it. Inside this bubble, all time was frozen.
"Kaito, is Eve going to be okay?"
"Don't worry. The bubble just freezes time. It won't affect her. I'm doing this for a more convenient and safer examination."
Otherwise, Eve would never calm down.
But one thing to note, Eve's current smile, combined with her flushed cheeks and slightly glowing red eyes, really looked like she was drunk and yandere at the same time.
Uuhh...
For some reason, an inappropriate thought crossed Kaito's mind.
