["Yoo-hoo!"]
[With Xutong's cheerful shout, four jets of flame suddenly burst from the underside of his hoverboard, forcefully pushing his falling body back upward.]
[He wobbled around for a moment, twisting left and right to regain his balance, before lowering his body and diving straight toward the Devourer swarm.]
In the courtyard of Professor Hiroshi Agasa's house, the members of the Junior Detective League sat together, watching the sky.
The moment they saw Xutong riding a flying hoverboard—soaring through the air like a skateboard in flight—Conan Edogawa instinctively turned to look at Agasa.
Sensing someone staring at him, Agasa lowered his head—and met Conan's gaze directly.
"Professor… um… can you modify my skateboard like that too?"
Conan's eyes sparkled as he pointed at the hoverboard beneath Xutong's feet.
"Uh…"
Agasa didn't answer immediately. After a moment of thought, he said quietly:
"I could modify it… but there's a problem. A propulsion system like that would generate a huge amount of force. An ordinary person wouldn't be able to maintain balance at all."
He glanced at Conan.
"With your current size… do you really think you could control it?"
"It's fine, Professor. Just build it according to my size—I'll definitely manage."
Conan declared confidently.
Science?
You're talking about science in the world of Conan?
[The scene continues.]
["YEAH!!!"]
[Riding his hoverboard, Xutong let out an excited yell as he swooped over the heads of the Devourer swarm. With a light pull of the trigger, two streaks of blue electricity flashed from the cannon—pinning two Devourers in place.]
[Under the effect of the current, their Spirit Core positions were instantly exposed.]
[But seeing Xutong's smug expression, disgust practically overflowed from Suixing's eyes.]
[After a single disdainful glance, Suixing leapt from the high platform—her body spinning gracefully through the air as she descended.]
[Mid-fall, she drew two arrows from the quiver on her back. From aiming, to firing, to launching a grappling line from her arm guard and using its pull to swing away—every movement flowed seamlessly, without the slightest pause.]
"SO COOL!!!"
"OH MY GOD!!!"
"I think I'm in love!"
"Wake up—you're a girl!"
"Exactly! That's why it's true love!"
Across countless worlds, the audience erupted. After witnessing Suixing's flawless sequence of movements, cries of "Wife!", "Goddess!", and "Shoot me, big sis!" filled the skies.
[Back to the scene.]
["Clang! Clang!"]
[As an intense soundtrack swelled, the two arrows Suixing fired—glowing with blue fluorescence—pierced straight through the Spirit Cores in the Devourers' chests, exiting cleanly before embedding themselves into the massive rocks behind them.]
[The two Devourers collapsed instantly. Their flesh melted at a visible speed into pools of black, disgusting sludge—leaving behind nothing but clean, bare skeletons.]
[The camera returned to Suixing. Using her grappling line, she swung to another elevated platform. Landing smoothly, she drew her bow again—walking forward at a casual pace while taking aim at the Devourer swarm ahead.]
[Meanwhile, Xutong, still flying on his board, cooperated perfectly—using electricity to immobilize several more Devourers and expose their Spirit Cores for Suixing's arrows.]
["Thrum!"]
[An arrow shot out. Perhaps finding it inefficient, Suixing pulled out two arrows at once this time.]
[One she held between her teeth. The other she nocked and fired.]
[The moment the first arrow struck, she snatched the one from her mouth—firing it again with almost no delay.]
[In mere moments, five or six Devourers had already fallen under her arrows.]
"Big sis biting arrows is so hot!"
"Oh my god—every step she takes feels like it's stepping on my heart!!!"
"Shoot me, big sis! I don't even want to be human anymore—being a snake or a dog is fine too!"
On the Lighthouse, a group of utterly inexperienced Upper Citizens wailed and screamed at the sight.
Perhaps it was because the Light Shadow Church had suppressed them for too long—this sudden exposure to something new made them completely lose control.
After all, they had almost no entertainment in their daily lives. The only time they ever felt excitement was during visits to the Morning Light Hall.
Now, not only could they watch these edited videos—but through the Instance system, they could even visit other worlds.
They had already matched with countless people from different universes.
Through chatting, adding friends, and interacting, those players had introduced entirely new worldviews to the Lighthouse residents.
As a result, the Church's control over them had weakened significantly.
Only the City Defense Army—thanks to their weapons—could still maintain some degree of order.
[The scene continues.]
[The camera shifted away from Suixing and landed on Mark-Beast, who was being overwhelmed by a swarm of Devourers.]
[Seeing that Mark-Beast was in imminent danger, Bai Yuekui immediately issued an order:]
["Protect the target!"]
["If the Spirit Core is damaged, bringing it back would be pointless—it'll just be a mindless husk."]
[Hearing this, Xia Dou immediately controlled an E3 Devourer, flinging the shield in its mouth high into the air.]
[Meanwhile, Shan Da—who had been blasted away earlier—rushed back in. With a leap that completely defied his bulky frame, he jumped into the air, caught the shield, and landed astride the E3 Devourer's back.]
["Aha! Charge!"]
[Holding a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right, Shan Da instantly transformed into a Snake-Dog Knight, letting out an instinctive shout as he drove the E3 Devourer toward the swarm.]
["Awooo~~"]
[Cut to Xia Dou, who was operating the controller. She opened her small pink lips and let out an adorably playful howl.]
"Awooooooo!!!"
"Awooooooo!!!"
The moment Xia Dou's cute little "awoo" echoed out—
Across billions of worlds, countless viewers instantly turned into wolves, howling toward the sky in response.
Meanwhile, actual wolves in zoos, terrified by the sheer intensity of these "human wolves," tucked their tails and hid in their dens.
Within Team 7—
After seeing Xia Dou's "awoo," Naruto Uzumaki clutched his chest, his face full of disbelief.
"Why… why is there another girl cuter than Sakura…?
Does that mean… Sakura isn't actually cute?
Was my world just too small…?"
"BAM!"
Before he could finish, Sakura Haruno's furious fist smashed straight into his head.
"You wanna repeat what you just said?"
"BAM!"
Another punch.
"Go on. Say it again."
"BAM!"
"Why aren't you talking now?"
"BAM!"
"Sakura! Calm down! Naruto's already stopped breathing! If you keep going, there won't even be a body left!"
Kakashi Hatake quickly stepped in to stop her before things turned fatal.
To be honest, he hadn't planned on saving someone who said that in front of a girl.
But Naruto was his teacher's only legacy.
Even if he was a bit of a hopeless idiot—
He still had to be saved.
As for Sasuke Uchiha…
Right now, he only had one thought:
How to obtain better rewards from the new Instance—
So he could grow stronger—
And kill that man.
Women?
What are those?
Women only slow down the speed of my hand seals.
