Chapter 1731

Ba Yunzi sighed faintly, "What a pity, though—it's useless against me."

"…The realm of shattering and wholeness."

Like a spirit of words, an inexplicable force swept forth, and every ice pillar in midair froze in place.

Then, accompanied by crisp cracking sounds, a great number of fissures appeared across the ice pillars; every ice pillar shattered, scattering down around Ba Yunzi.

Ba Yunzi held her parasol, dancing as if amid an endless snow and ice, possessed of a breathtaking beauty.

Beautiful enough to shake the heart.

"Damn it! Another enemy?"

The leader, Michael, a cold killing intent gleaming in his eyes, growled low, "Daring to intrude upon the holy angels' war! Who gave you the courage?"

Michael thrust his palm toward Ba Yunzi's direction; his hand swelled rapidly in that instant, wreathed in sacred, blazing flames.

"…President! Why haven't you all made a move yet?"

Ba Yunzi's heart gave a sudden lurch; sensing a lethal aura, she could no longer… maintain her composure.

They were supposed to face the strong enemy together—so why was he the only one caught up in the fight now? And over there, the last one, Uriel, also seemed to be stirring restlessly.

What's the point of even fighting this?

Once she understood, Ba Yunzi instantly retreated into the gap.

The next instant, that stretch of void abruptly shattered, and the spatial fragments were burned to nothing by the terrifyingly sacred flames.

"Kageyama Shigeo, which enemy are you planning to choose as your opponent?"

Su Han smiled as he looked at Kageyama Shigeo, not the slightest bit flustered; his voice, on the contrary, was—

—extremely gentle.

Kageyama Shigeo lowered his head, saying nothing at all.

Clearly he had sunk into a state of withdrawal.

Extremely shy.

And this attitude of his also gave Su Han a slight headache.

Kageyama Shigeo is indeed a good child… but this personality of his really does give people a bit of a headache.

"How about letting Kageyama Shigeo stay here and protect Riku."

Aizen said softly, "I've analyzed his ability! Kageyama Shigeo—Shigeo's ability is… as his emotions fluctuate, his power can continuously grow stronger."

"The upper limit of this power… is, for now, unknown! But used for protection—

Or rather, to delay an opponent—shouldn't be much of a problem… If something really goes wrong and Kageyama Shigeo's emotions surge wildly, even if he can't beat the opponent… at the very least he can hold out until we make our move…!"
