Chapter 427: Tendo Family Side Story Ends, Tendo Kogane Wants to Repay Broly!
The Holy Residence Plaza has now been borrowed by the Scorpion Cult; the Scorpion Cult uses this place as a training ground, with Broly serving as the first instructor, and the teaching staff being the trustworthy girls.
"Broly, prepare yourself; this time, we will definitely defeat you!"
Aihara Enju shouted this and rushed in first, a Knight Flying Kick striking straight at the boy's face.
"Your movement amplitude is too large; I've told you, with this kind of flying kick, it's best to use it sparingly until you can change direction in mid-air."
Broly dodged Aihara Enju's flying kick with an iron bridge, raised both hands to grab the two ponytails at the back of the girl's head, then immediately sprang and rotated to directly above the girl, shifting horizontally along with the direction of her flying kick.
And before Aihara Enju landed, Broly's knees were already braced against her two shoulders; leveraging his grip on the girl's ponytails, he pressed his body downward.
"Slap—"
Broly's feet hooked around the girl's armpits, landing a step ahead to cushion the impact, then braced against Aihara Enju's falling body.
Just as Broly was preparing to deliver the killing move he used during training—a palm slap to the broad forehead—Aihara Enju instead grabbed his two legs that were bent and planted on the ground.
"Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone!"
"No problem, leave it to us."
Hiruko Kohina in front had already rushed over holding two rubber batons; behind her, Tina aimed a sniper rifle loaded with premium rubber bullets at the back of Broly's head and pulled the trigger.
Sennju Kayo entered from the left, her handgun already *pop pop pop* firing several rubber bullets, while Shichui ran in quickly from the right, fingernails extending to claw and scratch at him.
With Aihara Enju controlling his legs, and attacks coming from front, back, left, and right, Broly simply leaned back and braced against the ground, flipping into the air to evade this encirclement.
A rubber baton knocked away a rubber sniper bullet, cat claws also sliced through several rubber bullets flying over, and the next moment, Aihara Enju was flung down from mid-air by Broly; Hiruko Kohina subconsciously went to catch her and was smashed flat by the girl.
The landed Broly delivered a light elbow strike to Shichui's small belly; after she belatedly clutched her belly, he quickly closed in on Sennju Kayo. Sennju Kayo reacted fast, firing to intercept the boy's charge; Tina in the distance also coordinated shooting while maneuvering to blockade, but the boy's shifting speed was very fast, causing bullets to miss one after another.
"Slap—"
A palm lightly patted Sennju Kayo's forehead, then Broly turned and ran toward Tina's side; not long after, Tina walked over with a red forehead too. Hiruko Kohina still wanted to resist, but was easily grabbed by both hands by Broly and twisted behind her back.
"Ah, didn't expect it to turn out like this; we still lost."
Sennju Kayo sighed.
"Broly, did you really not use power exceeding ours?"
Aihara Enju, on the other hand, was somewhat doubtful.
"No, the power used in all my movements was within the range you yourselves are capable of reaching."
Broly shrugged, indicating he hadn't cheated by bullying them with physical stats.
"I don't believe it; you definitely used power exceeding ours."
Hiruko Kohina stared with her calves.
"Rabbit's speed, mantis's reaction capability, cat's agility, dolphin's calm thinking, and my owl's eyesight, Kohina; from the Xianfeier recorded video footage, slowed down, Broly indeed did not use power exceeding ours."
Tina caught a flying Xianfeier used to film the training footage just now, opened the slow-motion video inside to show Kohina, and this made Kohina quickly give up struggling, only showing a depressed expression on her face.
Even if Broly lowered his physical quality to a level similar to theirs to do combat training with them, in terms of real-time combat, the boy still used formidable combat awareness to perfectly thrash their joint efforts.
To give an analogy for this feeling, it's like when you play a MOBA game and run into a tech player running a top-tier script.
"Broly, can't you hold back a little more?"
Aihara Enju complained; she always got perfectly thrashed during combat training, and although she wouldn't really get hurt, it severely damaged combat confidence.
"If I hold back any more for you, there's no meaning to training; and compared to before, you couldn't even bring me a sense of crisis, but this time, you almost succeeded in hitting me."
"Eh, is that so?"
Hearing this, the several girls acknowledged by the Crystal Palace became happy, their Happiness Values all rising a notch.
"It is so; however, Enju, your combat style is too reckless, I still hope you can reflect on your overly reckless combat style."
"I'm sorry."
Aihara Enju lowered her head and apologized; her speed is very fast, but her agility has always been insufficient—against ordinary opponents it's not noticeable, but facing Broly the flaw is very obvious, and the boy especially dislikes her using the flying kick move; at least until she learns to use Qi to change direction in mid-air, Broly completely does not recommend she use flying kicks.
"This tactic was formulated by me; I'm also at fault."
Sennju Kayo helped share the fire.
"The most important thing in the Scorpion Cult is not defeating enemies, but defeating enemies while guaranteeing one's own safety; if it's risking danger to defeat enemies, that's completely putting the cart before the horse."
Broly lectured.
"Then what should we do if we encounter powerful enemies from now on?"
Hiruko Kohina asked somewhat unconvinced.
"This is simple: strategic retreat, come back and call for backup, then go back and gang-beat them."
Broly pointed to the side; the little Scorpio clapping for him answered Hiruko Kohina's question.
Inside the Scorpion Cult, Broly's combat strength is the highest.
The second highest after that is the little Scorpio.
"What if she can't do it either?"
"Then call me."
Broly was concise; although after leaving this world, wanting to return would require paying a certain price, compared to his wives' safety, that price is not worth mentioning.
"Broly-san……"
The cat-ear girl raised her small hand.
"Shichui, do you have a question?"
Broly looked over, and the girl shrank behind Tina; she is still somewhat timid.
"You're this powerful, completely capable of protecting the Scorpion Cult; why do you still need to train us?"
"My power stems only from myself, but accidents are forever present; unless I eliminate every single person and thing in this world that could possibly cause an accident, but that approach you might not necessarily accept either, so I can only compromise, hoping to make you powerful, so that many accidents won't become accidents."
"Uh……"
"Shichui, Broly means he hopes that when he's not here, you can also protect yourselves well."
Tina stroked the head of the cat-ear girl beside her, then translated for her.
"I can understand. Broly-san is a really good person."
Shichui gave the Saiyan boy a Good Person Card, and the Happiness Value on her immediately rose by a bit.
"I'll work hard. Not just to protect myself well, but also to protect others well."
The cat-eared girl said seriously.
Her erosion rate was extremely high; before encountering the Scorpion Cult, she was even an anomaly among the Cursed Children.
Possessing very obvious alteration features — cat ears.
After joining the Scorpion Cult and being gently accepted, Shichui had already come to regard the Scorpion Cult as home.
"We're the same."
Aihara Enju and Sennju Kayo exchanged a glance, then said so as well.
"Since little Enju and them all said that, then I'll reluctantly go along with it too."
Hiruko Kohina added a sentence with a bit of a tsundere attitude; this girl's personality was somewhat twisted — it was just that she was young in years, and after distancing herself from her own father and living together with Aihara Enju and the others, her personality was only gradually being corrected and changed.
At least, she now knew to cherish the companions by her side, and was no longer filled with thoughts of wanting to kill people.
"Then you all train on your own first; I'll go guide the others."
Broly's battle consciousness surpassed others'; being able to perceive the flow of Qi within others' bodies allowed him to more simply discover the shortcomings in others' combat skills.
Many Civil Security pairs who joined the Judgment Hall, or simply the Starting Girls, went from unconvinced to convinced — they only needed to experience the simple process of being beaten and guided.
Generally, a couple of pointers from Broly could let these people gain some harvest in actual combat, and this caused both Civil Security and Starting Girls to begin admiring the Saiyan boy immensely.
This was not too different from the reverence brought by Broly's previous display of absolute power — inside it there was a bit more of the feeling of treating a teacher.
Those who hear the Dao come at different times; the one who attains it is the teacher.
And if this teacher is willing to selflessly guide one's own combat techniques, it becomes a moving thing.
Although quite a few people did not join the Scorpion Cult voluntarily, after undergoing Broly's guidance and training, quite a few began to be genuinely convinced from the heart.
Especially some martial-obsessed types among them — for example, Satomi Rentaro's Senior Brother — Xize Zhangmo.
The other party originally studied under the Tendo Style, was treated as the next-generation master of the Tendo Style, but was later expelled from the school for privately modifying the Tendo Style combat art, and since then had been wandering in the wilds, fighting Gastrea with his own martial arts.
Recently, he heard that the Scorpion Cult had a way to solve the problem of the Starting Children's excessively high Gastrea virus erosion rate, so he returned to Tokyo with his partner Shichui, who was also a wanderer.
From initially just solving the problem on Shichui's body, to now this person had already entered the Scorpion Cult's doors.
If not for Broly not accepting disciples, this martial-obsessed youth might even have performed the grand ceremony and bowed to the Saiyan boy as a master.
And compared to Satomi Rentaro's role in the Judgment Hall checking Hiruko Kagetane, Xize Zhangmo is the one who can check Hiruko Kagetane with personal martial force.
His modified version of the Tendo Style combat art's Cannon Fist has extremely terrifying penetrating power; originally a special martial art developed specifically for Gastrea, it achieved a very good counter-effect against Hiruko Kagetane with his repulsion field here.
In a one-on-one situation, Hiruko Kagetane, as a mechanically modified human, has a sixty percent probability of being beaten to death by this man's flesh fists.
And the other party's good character counts as talent Eris considers not bad, able to serve as the Knight Commander of the Scorpion Cult Temple in this world in the future.
The Judgment Hall is the Scorpion Cult's extreme armed force, but the Scorpion Cult cannot all be extreme armed forces; it also needs some people of solid character to serve as the Sect/Church's front-facing armed troops.
One does the inner work, one does the face; one open, one dark; grace and authority combined — only then can the religion develop better.
This is the conclusion Eris drew based on her own Sect; and from a certain meaning, she and Aqua are also the two great Goddesses behind the Scorpion Cult, one open and one dark.
With just Aqua, the Scorpion Cult might become the second Axis Cult of the Isekai; with just Eris, the Scorpion Cult could never have developed to its current extent in the short term.
The two Goddesses complement each other, paving the future for the little Scorpio on the path of the God of Faith in this world.
Worth mentioning is that after Aqua leaves, the next Pope of the Scorpion Cult will be served by the Holy Son of Heaven, Sima Wei Zhi will serve as the Procurement Bishop, and Tenkō Kisara, this decisive Sword Ghost Girl, will be arranged in the position of Judgment Hall Court Chief.
That's right; compared to Satomi Rentaro and Hiruko Kagetane taking over Broly's current position, Eris and Aqua both agree that Tenkō Kisara is more suitable to take over Broly's position.
Of course, Eris feels the girl's personality is suitable, while Aqua is the model of nepotism, believing the Scorpion Cult must be held in the hands of those who are also Crystal Palace members.
Only this way will these guys who are also Crystal Palace members surround little Scorpio's side and take good care of her.
As a fellow Crystal Palace latecomer, the little Scorpio who would call her Mama holds a different status in Aqua's heart.
Simply put, little Scorpio is the future Heavenly Son who will rule this world's faith; as for the rest, at best they are just the identity of a Nine Thousand Years.
Just as the Scorpion Cult entered a snowballing virtuous development, gradually constructing an arch-guarding religious regime system centered around little Scorpio, the Tenkō Agency side also welcomed a guest who should not have come.
"Lord Tenkō Chikunojō, you coming to my agency — it couldn't be to take care of my business, right?"
Tenkō Kisara asked with a smile, but the smile on her face was fake, without any warmth.
"I am here on behalf of the Tendo Family to reconcile with you."
Tenkō Chikunojō did not beat around the bush, directly stating his purpose.
"Reconcile? That's a truly strange thing to say; do I have some conflict with the Tendo Family?"
Tenkō Kisara feigned ignorance and asked.
"Kisara, haven't you always wanted to know the truth of your parents' deaths back then? I can tell you all of it."
Tenkō Chikunojō's words caused the fake smile on the Sword Ghost Girl's face to instantly vanish.
Latest novel at ⊥⊥⊥ first ⊥ release!
"Why?"
Tenkō Kisara asked out of the blue, but Tenkō Chikunojō understood.
"Because this world has already changed due to the Scorpion Cult; as the Tendo Family Head, I must also consider the family's future.
Thinking it over, only you are able to lead the Tendo Family better forward on the road of the future era."
Tenkō Chikunojō said.
"Tell me, how did my parents die!"
"Then you must agree to return to the Tendo Family and become the New Family Head."
"What if I say no?"
"You won't refuse; for you, this will only make your revenge go more smoothly."
Pausing a moment, Tenkō Chikunojō then spoke of the truth of Tenkō Kisara's parents' deaths back then.
"Your parents were both honest people. They discovered back then that within the Tendo Family, someone was embezzling funds and cutting corners in the Varanium Monolith construction project."
"And among those embezzlers were your older brother, their son Tendo Kazumitsu, and moreover, Tendo Kazumitsu was one of the masterminds."
"Back then, your parents, for the safety of the Safe Zone, were preparing to uphold justice and report him, but they never expected Tendo Kazumitsu to be even more ruthless, choosing to strike at his own birth parents for his own career."
"After that, it's what you know—your parents died in the jaws of the Gastrea."
"Tendo Kazumitsu, you beast!"
After hearing this, Tendo Kisarazu's killing intent surged, and in the next moment she directly drew her murderous blade, pointing it at the old man before her.
"And what about you, Tendo Chikunojō—what role did you play in the murder of my parents?"
The Sword Ghost Girl's killing intent was such that if the old man gave even one unsatisfactory answer, she would directly chop off his head.
"What role could I possibly play? Of course I'm just an old father who learned of it too late, grieving for the death of my own son, yet unable to send my grandson who did such a thing to prison, and instead had to do my utmost to cover up this matter for the sake of the Tendo Family."
"Was it for your power and influence?"
"Yes, I don't deny that. Because only with power and influence could I avenge your deceased grandmother, my wife, against those damned Gastrea."
"Kisarazu, you are someone who cannot forget hatred, and I am the same."
"But now you want me to forget my hatred!"
The girl sneered coldly.
"Is that what you think?"
"Isn't it? Holding onto a broken position of family head, you want me to let go of the enemy who murdered my parents?"
"I have already brought Tendo Kazumitsu, as well as everyone who participated in the embezzlement back then and murdered your parents, under my control."
"Hmm?"
"As long as you become the head of the Tendo Family, they will be at your disposal."
"The Tendo Family truly disgusts me."
"You're right, I find it disgusting too, but don't let hatred cloud your mind. The Tendo Family isn't entirely your enemy. After clearing out the enemies, the remaining strength will be able to help you gain a foothold in the Scorpion Cult and obtain greater power."
"Hah~"
Tendo Kisarazu was somewhat amused by anger. This old fool before her truly knew nothing at all, and was unaware that the Scorpion Cult's power wasn't important at all. What truly mattered was the identity recognized by the Crystal Palace, and how much the Saiyan boy liked them.
"What are you laughing at?"
"I won't let some disgusting things stick to my body!"
Tendo Chikunojō frowned. He didn't understand why Tendo Kisarazu refused.
"Fine, if you don't agree..."
"Do you think you can stop me, who already knows the truth, from taking revenge on those bastards?"
The Sword Ghost Girl sneered.
"I can't, but I can make it so you can't take revenge with your own hands, because I'll kill those beastly things first."
Tendo Kisarazu's smile faded.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"
"I don't have many years to live anyway. And when I die, the Tendo Family will scatter too. Rather than waiting for it to scatter, I might as well destroy it with my own hands."
Tendo Kisarazu felt somewhat stifled, but in order to personally slay her enemy, she chose to compromise.
In the evening, she arrived at the apartment requisitioned by the Scorpion Cult.
Covered in blood, she walked straight into the apartment.
"What happened? Are you injured?"
Broly was inside. Seeing the girl covered in blood, he ran over to ask.
"I'm not injured. This isn't my blood."
Tendo Kisarazu explained.
"That's good."
Broly checked the girl's body, and after finding no injuries, he finally relaxed.
"What about Enju and the others?"
"Still training at the training ground."
"And you?"
"Rentaro recently went on a business trip to another Safe Zone to open a branch cult, so now it's my turn to prepare dinner."
Broly replied.
"Broly..."
"Hmm?"
"Can I take a bath here?"
"Of course."
Broly got her a towel and a change of clothes, and while Tendo Kisarazu went to bathe, he continued preparing dinner in the kitchen.
But before he was finished, the girl who came out of the bathroom embraced him.
"What's wrong?"
Broly asked somewhat strangely.
"I just avenged my parents."
Tendo Kisarazu replied.
"Uh, congratulations, but what does that have to do with you not wearing clothes and coming to hug me?"
"I want to thank you."
"Did I not do anything?"
"The only reason I was able to so smoothly help my parents get revenge is because of the Scorpion Cult and your power, which made some old geezers afraid and forced them to come here and tell the truth of what happened back then."
"Uh, you're welcome."
Broly still did not think he himself had made much of a contribution.
"But after I got my revenge, I felt an indescribable emptiness and didn't know what to do afterward. Can you help me?"
"How do you want me to help?"
"Order me around and have me do things for you, no matter what it is."
The girl licked her tender lips; even if Broly wanted her to kneel on the ground right now and stick out her butt, she would do it without hesitation. Tenkō Kisara desperately wanted to be dominated.
"Since that's the case..."
Broly thought for a moment, then pointed to the cutting board beside him.
"Then help me chop up the side dishes over there."
Like a beast in heat, the girl's expression froze for a moment, but she still put on the apron.
【Tenkō Kisara's Happiness Value is rising】
Hearing the Crystal Palace's prompt accompanying the sound of chopping vegetables, Broly felt somewhat subtle.
Ordering others around, and the other person's Happiness Value actually kept shooting up.
