Chapter 46: We Just Need to Destroy Them

" 'What do you mean he escaped?!' "

Guin slammed the table, glaring at the soldier in front of him.

The monster that had wiped out an entire squad of his soldiers had escaped; this was something they couldn't afford.

"Sir, the Undertakers helped him... They jammed our drones and disabled our Endlaves."

Nervously looking at Guin, the soldier swallowed and delivered his report.

"Damn terrorists!"

Despite the dawn, his soldiers still had no answers about the thief.

The Void Genome was something they couldn't afford to lose, and now, with the monster incident, it added to Guin's headache.

The losses caused by the monster were not insignificant.

"Eliminate them!"

"Sir?"

"We have authorization to kill all the infected! So kill them! There's no way the culprit won't be discovered!"

"Y-yes, sir!" Nodding, the soldier looked fearfully at Guin, who had just ordered the killing of everyone in this neighborhood.

"Hump! Let's see if you can keep hiding, you damn terrorists."

Looking towards the neighborhood, Guin smiled, but it was a smile that no Antibody soldier should have.

"Those bastards! They're shooting everyone!"

Argos couldn't help but grit his teeth, seeing numerous soldiers shooting to kill dozens of innocents.

Yuki was curious, wondering what value the Void Genome held for the Antibodies to resort to such extremes.

"I hope to have your help."

"Don't worry."

Assenting to Gai's question, Yuki glanced at Inori. Her expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of sadness in her gaze.

"Everyone! GHQ has gone too far! We can't let innocent people die!"

Multiple Undertaker members agreed; the Antibodies had stooped too low.

"We need to evacuate all civilians. There's an underground warehouse; we can evacuate them there."

"I'm afraid our force is insufficient, Gai. I recommend we retreat."

Adjusting his glasses with one hand, Shibungi poured cold water on Gai.

But that didn't matter to Gai; he just frowned before looking at Yuki.

Feeling Gai's gaze on him, Yuki sighed.

"I have a question."

Emerging from the crowd, Yuki raised his hand.

Argos, who was by his side, looked at his small figure with curiosity.

"Go ahead."

"The Antibodies are after the Void Genome, right?"

"That's right."

Looking at each other for a moment, Yuki smiled at Gai, who only nodded in response.

"Then it's simple! Let's destroy those white coats! Isn't that right, Gai?"

Everyone was left speechless. Shibungi frowned; he didn't like where this was going.

"Yes, we just need to destroy them."

"Gai?!"

"Listen, everyone! This is a chance to step out of the shadows! It's time for us Undertakers to make our existence known to the world!"

Silence enveloped the room before exploding.

"Yes!"

"Let's go!"

"Ohhh!"

As criminals, they had been working in the shadows for a long time, always hiding, criticized and hated by society. But today was the day the world would finally open its eyes.

(Nice move.)

Yuki had to admit that Gai had charisma as a leader. In times of difficulty, morale had to be maintained; an army without morale is an army of losers.

(But I can play the same game.)

Yuki knew Gai wanted to use him. The fact that he asked if he could count on his support was more than enough for that.

Certainly, Gai had something planned for him, but Yuki didn't like taking orders. His freedom and that of his loved ones were the most important to him.

He knew he couldn't take Inori out of Undertaker. That's why he agreed to help them. In a criminal group where you don't know when you might die, he didn't want Inori to get hurt or, worse, die.

Knowing she was injured was enough for him in their first encounter.

He wouldn't risk a second attempt. Yuki had been clear; he was here for Inori and for Inori alone.

As much as he wanted to use Genjutsu on Inori and escape this world, something called him, someone asked for his help.

This feeling left a bad taste in his mouth. Besides, he couldn't put Inori in a Genjutsu for a lifetime. So, he agreed to play in this world. Moreover, it would be an adventure to play in this world, an adventure Yuki wouldn't miss. However, he would play this game his way.

*applause, applause

While everyone was in euphoria, Yuki clapped loudly, attracting attention.

"I like it! Well then, I'll take care of the Antibodies."

There was a big smile on Yuki's face when he said those words, making several people shiver. The murderous intent in that smile was significant.

Ayase was trembling; only now did she remember who this person was.

"Yuki... You promised, you can't force yourself."

However, there was one person who completely ignored his murderous intent. Inori looked at Yuki before grabbing his arm.

"You're wrong, Inori. I'm not forcing myself. This time, it'll be you and me." Facing Inori's gaze, Yuki cast the bait.

"You... and me?" Although her face remained expressionless, there was doubt in Inori's voice.

"Yes, tell me, Inori, would you entrust me with your heart?"

Looking into each other's eyes, there was a deep longing in their gazes.

"Yes, please, use me." Inori didn't hesitate to say those words. Yuki smiled at that; Inori's personality was easy to manipulate.

Tsugumi had her mouth wide open; not only she, but several members were equally surprised.

They had just witnessed what could be a confession.

"I understand... Will you use it?"

However, Gai didn't think the same; he looked at the couple with a serious look.

"Of course! They're after the Void Genome; let's give it to them! I'll give them a gift that will be engraved in their little brains!"

"Great!" Gai didn't hesitate; he already had a slight understanding of what Yuki would do.

Yuki, on the other hand, was very curious about this King's power. It was supposed to be a power derived from the Apocalypse Virus, and this power was mainly responsible for him not dying.

After learning all the details of this power, Yuki was surprised. A power capable of extracting and manifesting the form of people's hearts.

Yuki knew that this was only one of the many abilities of this power.

Now, Yuki regretted not being able to summon Rasiel. He was very curious about it; after all, having an extra power in his body and not using it would be a waste. Moreover, this ability didn't use chakra, so there shouldn't be a problem with the blood in his body crystallizing.

"Listen, everyone! I'll tell you the plan!"
