Chapter 6: The Taste of Hegemony

  One by one, they disappeared into the cabin with light footsteps, leaving behind the staff who had been frightened by the sudden loud noise and turned to stone, and were blown away by a gust of wind that came from nowhere, turning into sand all over the ground.

  "Ah, the weather is really great!" As her feet officially stepped onto Eris' territory, the girl couldn't help but stretch out a big yawn. Lilio's mood beside her seemed to be very good as well.

  Due to oversleeping, the surroundings were already empty and devoid of people, so the girl stood by the sea, her hair blown by the sea breeze drawing arcs in mid-air, and the curvature of her upturned mouth was enough to make her blend with the surrounding scenery into a picturesque painting.

  "Pikachu! One hundred thousand volts!"

  It seemed as if a voice that belonged only to that young man echoed in her ears. The girl suddenly turned around and was thrilled to see the young man's figure!

  "It's Xiao Zhi!" Her voice was tinged with delight, but soon the idea of greeting him was brutally suppressed by the scene before her eyes!

  Pikachu seems to have been caught by something, and since the boy was facing away from her, it just blocked her line of sight, so she didn't see clearly. However, the culprits were absolutely those three guys standing in a high place, wearing very strange clothes!

  Pikachu's Thunder Shock was easily deflected, and the boy with light purple hair sneered, "No use!"

  "We've never stopped researching countermeasures against electric attacks!" The woman with the strange hairstyle said confidently, her tone carrying an air of inevitability.

  "Raaaah!" Rio immediately took a fighting stance.

  "Yoshi! Rio, you think we should help Satoshi too, right!! Although she's never been particularly fond of battles and the like, when it comes to helping out a friend in need, she's more than happy to lend a hand. And especially since that friend is none other than her childhood playmate Satoshi!"

  "Leo, go destroy that device first, Cross..." Her words had not finished yet, when a strange dark cloud suddenly floated over from the sky, with electricity flowing around it, looking mysterious and beautiful.

  What is that thing?

  She looked at it strangely, with a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

  Rumble...

  Suddenly, a bolt of lightning cut down from the middle of the cloud layer, striking directly at those three people wearing strange clothes. Before she could even react to what was happening, accompanied by a shrill scream, she was enveloped in a strange blue glow.

  Huh?

  What's going on? Has something terrible happened?

  The girl looked around in a daze, the boy was still some distance away from her. If she took just a few more steps, they could stand shoulder to shoulder together. But at this moment, she had no time to think about these things anymore. Her first trip and her first encounter with something like this made her feel that this world was simply too mysterious. Was this the prelude to an alien invasion?

  The blue current seemed to be the pillar that supported the entire cloud from falling, and in the dark shadow, a figure with a strong oppressive aura quickly caught the girl's attention.

  "There's something up there..."

  The boy's voice was filled with uncertainty, doubt, or perhaps something else, but Youya felt like he couldn't hear anything at all.

  "Is it a small fairy......"

  "That's... Czech Rome..." The girl's expression suddenly became serious, as if she had realized something.

  "Huh?" Lior looked at his master with a puzzled expression, then fixed his gaze on the mist again. It must be some extraordinary spirit to have such an oppressive aura, as if no one dared to look directly at it, that was the taste of a ruler.
