Chapter 490: 483 The Star Cluster Pilots Machine Sen

Before this, the Demon Lord Oni Juro had believed that, with his experience, tricking a teenager would be no problem at all.

But upon seeing this blade, he immediately understood that the situation had slipped beyond his control.

The terror of being cut in half, a fear spanning a thousand years, returned to seize his heart, making him tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing his own ancestor, who had once looked down on all, react with such panic before this blade, Shuusaku grew even more convinced that such a being was nothing more than a puppet, utterly unable to control his own fate.

It was clear that the shadow of having once killed Ida Iryu weighed heavily upon him—he was terrified to the core.

Even Muzan from Demon Slayer, upon seeing Kyojuro Rengoku, could not have reacted more dreadfully.

“Don’t show your face to me again!” Shuusaku shouted, drawing his long blade and slashing at the Demon Lord Oni Juro; instantly, a golden sword qi surged forth, striking the Demon Lord’s right arm.

“Ahh!” The Demon Lord Oni Juro screamed as he was struck, tumbling from the air to the ground, no longer able to look down upon Shuusaku.

“This power… it truly is Ida Iryu—he’s still alive!” The Demon Lord Oni Juro’s expression was that of a mouse seeing a cat.

Does this mean that even if I am revived, I must face him once more?

No, no, no need to panic—I have nothing to fear now.

If I am revived, my eye-Q will be stronger than ever before; even if Ida Iryu still lives, he won’t be able to touch me!

“Fine… since you’ve turned traitor, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Worry about your friend, Aikawa Yumi.” Forcing himself to regain composure, the Demon Lord Oni Juro clutched his wounded right arm and glared at Shuusaku with bitter hatred.

Shuusaku, about to strike again, froze: “What did you say? What have you done to Yumi?”

The Demon Lord Oni Juro sneered: “Your good friend Aikawa Yumi is in my hands. If you don’t want her harmed, don’t resist me.”

In the next instant, taking advantage of Shuusaku’s stunned pause, the Demon Lord Oni Juro extended his palm—a massive slanted eye—toward Shuusaku.

Instantly, a golden light was forcibly drawn from Shuusaku’s body into the Demon Lord’s.

“Good… so powerful! Now, I lack nothing!” The Demon Lord Oni Juro let out a wild laugh.

The next moment, the dream shattered; Shuusaku sat up, drenched in sweat.

Ignoring his weakened state, he rushed out the door to find Qi Ming: “He said… he’s going after Yumi!”

Qi Ming immediately pulled out his PDI communicator to check: “Don’t panic—I’ve had Ida Iryu secretly protecting that girl. He says she’s sleeping soundly, perfectly fine.”

Shuusaku’s expression froze.

What does that mean?

Is my ancestor lying to me?

Seeing his expression, Qi Ming patted his shoulder: “Young man, so naive… learn to think ahead next time.”

Shuusaku suddenly realized and cried out: “Then… then it’s bad—the Demon Lord Oni Juro just absorbed my power in the dream!”

The next moment, the PDI communicator rang again; Emi sent an urgent report.

The Eye-Q has appeared—this time, the complete second-generation version.

After absorbing Shuusaku’s abilities, the Demon Lord Oni Juro’s Eye-Q has fully evolved!

When Qi Ming arrived at the Victory Team command room and saw the photo on the large screen, he nodded: that was the second-generation Eye-Q.

Once activated, it can suppress Gaia V2—at least B+ level power.

The next moment, the Eye-Q’s right arm on the screen trembled slightly, as if unable to exert force.

Clearly, Shuusaku’s slash had a significant effect—this weakness can be targeted in battle.
