Chapter 3332

Sakata Gintoki: "Hey, hey, hey... why are you big-shots rushing down to the field all of a sudden? I was just thinking I might actually qualify to take part in this mission... but now that you've all said that! I feel like it's safer for me to just stay home and watch you guys complete it."

Gao Ban Kyosuke: "What's the panic! If it's there to grab, grab it!"

Yuan Dagu: "Yeah... anyway... winning the final mission comes down to luck! Not to whoever's the strongest... of course, even though I'm saying this, I don't actually have any intention of joining the mission."

Yuan Dagu had a very clear sense of his own limits. Even if he transformed into a powered-up version of Ultraman Tiga during the mission, he still couldn't beat those... divine beast progenitors who had become guardian spirits, let alone the Dragon Progenitor... so it was simply better for him not to take part.

Su Xiao Xiao: "The official grab begins now!"

Su Han paid no attention to the chatter inside the society and, out of nowhere, dropped this line.

The next instant, a message suddenly popped up.

"Ding! Society Leader Su Xiao Xiao! Ke La Ke Ken! Onixia have successfully joined this mission."

The society fell into a brief silence.

Kayaba Akihiko: "!!!!"

Hui Yuanai: "... Well, this is really! I don't even know what to say."

Hijikata Toshiyuki: "Locked in... one of the strongest below the first tier, Ke La Ke Ken! And Onixia, who takes missions often and whose strength is solidly mid-to-upper in the society..."

Hijikata Toshiyuki: "If this mission can't be completed! I'll wash my hair standing on my head."

Sakata Gintoki: "Washing your hair upside-down is no challenge for you at all... if you ask me! You should be peeing upside-down.

And it has to be live-streamed!!"

Edogawa Conan: "!!!!"

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "Hiss!"

Kill Teacher: "What a savage! Truly a savage."

Hijikata Toshiyuki: "Shut it! Have you no shame at all!!"

Hijikata Toshiyuki's cheeks flushed bright red.

Hijikata Toshiyuki: "Even if I had the biggest 【gamble】! There's no way I'd agree to that kind of bet... otherwise my personal image would completely collapse."

Tony Is Not Rich: "Real talk!" Sazex: "... Forgive me for asking! Do you actually have a personal image?"

Hijikata Toshiyuki: "..."

Hijikata Toshiyuki suddenly fell silent.

He had taken a heavy blow.

Nangong Nazuki: "Honestly, I personally think... this bet is completely pointless!"

Nangong Nazuki rolled her eyes, then continued speaking.

Nangong Nazuki: "Let me ask... the society has taken on so many missions, which one of them has ever failed?"

Lelouch: "... I suspect you're jinxing it! And I have proof."

Phantom Thief Kid: "Not afraid of jinxing it... this round! Solid as a rock! Manual smug-face.

"

Su Xiao Xiao: "Alright! Now that the mission participants have been chosen... let's begin the mission."

Su Han stood up and stretched his body, then clicked to officially join the mission. A resplendent halo of light erupted in an instant.

When the radiance faded, Su Han's figure vanished along with it.

"Interesting!"

Wugeng Liuli lay back on her chair, gazing in the direction Su Han had left, her eyes flickering.

"Sister! Aren't you going to start washing the dishes?"

Lei Mu turned her head to look at Ke La Ke.

"I'll use a shadow clone to wash them..."

Ke La Ke's voice carried no fluctuation. "After all, we're going to watch the society's livestream in a bit."

...... Meanwhile, in the New World.

Chu Zihang's expression didn't waver in the slightest. He drew Murasame and slowly polished it clean.

Finally, he sheathed it.

Suddenly sensing something, Chu Zihang's brow furrowed. He then lightly tapped the ground with the sole of his foot, and his body shot off into the distance like a cannonball. Paradoxically, though his speed was extreme, he seemed to merge with nature itself—no sonic boom, utterly silent.

After a few breaths, Chu Zihang appeared outside Kassel Academy.

A high, resonant dragon roar came from afar, and then Kobayashi, riding Tōru who had reverted to her true form, descended dramatically.

Kanna also reverted to her true form, and on her back rode Uesugi Eriri.

"Honestly,"

Chu Zihang swept his gaze across the group. On the surface his expression didn't change, but his pupils contracted slightly, showing his heart was far from calm. "I'm quite surprised right now..."

After a brief pause, Chu Zihang continued, "How exactly did you get Uesugi Eriri out?"

As the Princess of the dark side of Eastern Japan, Uesugi Eriri's importance went without saying.

Even Chu Zihang would have a hard time going to find her... and for the dragon-kind before him to bring Uesugi Eriri out, those dragons would probably have had to clash head-on with the Snake Eight Families in a fight.

"It wasn't them who came to me! I went to find them, met up with them, and came over together."

Uesugi Eriri explained through Kenbunshoku.

"... I see."

Chu Zihang was briefly stunned, but after thinking it over, he nodded slowly, a contemplative look on his face.

Kobayashi was in Eastern Japan, and Uesugi Eriri was also in Eastern Japan... from that angle, perhaps they weren't far apart to begin with.

After Uesugi Eriri joined the society, her strength should have grown as well. Wanting to escape her home, meet up with the dragons and Kobayashi... probably wasn't all that hard.

Suddenly, a terrifying, shrill dragon roar rang out, and ripples stirred through the void.

"... What?"

Thor's expression changed drastically. She instinctively stepped in front of Kobayashi, then raised her head to stare at the sky.

Gradually, Thor realized something, and her expression grew dark. She bared her teeth. "There is a dragon... about to descend! Right now, he is roaring, proclaiming his sovereignty over this world."

"... The Dragon Ancestor is going to descend near us."

Kobayashi was somewhat stunned. "The Earth is so big... how could it be such a coincidence?"

"Kobayashi, Kobayashi, you're wrong!"

Kanna shook her head, finished off all the snacks in her hand, then answered seriously, "That dragon is very far from us... but since it's a proclamation of sovereignty, it definitely has to be proclaimed in every direction..."

"Before this, probably everyone on the entire globe... you could even say, every living being in the whole world, heard that dragon's roar!"
