Chapter 181: Downhill (1)

—

Neji had to stop doing his stuff when he sensed Kurai returning. 

Only Kimi was remaining in the "game" while the others were "disqualified". Neji was pleased with this development. She was fast before, but that was all, she was a glass cannon before. But now, she's strong and durable as well.

Even then, none of the girls could actually take on a dick that was more than half the size of their body. So Neji had to control his transformation enough to not kill them.

By the time Kurai returned, the other four girls joined on the bed beside Nejire, making the cat all confused and bewildered.

"Wat happened?"

"It's nothing, shush. Adult people stuff, you won't get it."

"...Oh, it's adult stuff. So it's like the things that happen inside the [doujins] mommy reads?"

""...""

"...Kimi babe, don't you think we should have a talk later?"

"Uh, oh- erm… Y-yes, yep, I think so."

Kimi, who was in the bed, seemed to lose consciousness.

"Wat's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Neji sighed, crouching down and patting Kurai's head. "Okay, I need to calculate how much I am gonna need to punish mommy, so be truthful. How much did you see in those 'doujins'?"

"Oh, I just saw the covers and a few pages when mommy ran to the kitchen and forgot to close the books."

""...""

"...Oi maid, to the kitchen. Now."

There was a short silence before- with a loud sigh Kimi got up from the bed with a soft whimper.

"I am so done…"

—★—

After a few hours, around nighttime, Neji and Kurai were preparing to leave.

"I really shouldn't be wasting my time doing meaningless stuff. So I am gonna follow the possible routes that I gained from a reliable source to find AFO's current base. I will be taking Kurai with me since Fusion is available right now and it's better for us to fight AFO in fusion mode."

It wasn't really "better", that was a lie. It's not as if AFO would be able to do anything to him anyway, he alone was strong. Just that, killing someone in Fusion gave both Neji and Kurai the same amount of levels, so it was double the profit. Neji wasn't going to put down that profit.

Kurai reached Level 131 today when she went hunting earlier. Killing AFO would most certainly level her up at 140. As for Neji, he was Level 202.

The girls nodded, sitting on the couch around Neji.

They were fine now, looking refreshed even.

Except for Nejire, they all had animalistic quirks that gave them some sort of healing powers. Only Nejire didn't have it, but that's where Momo's [Phoenix Flame of Reincarnation] came to help.

"Oi, take mum and dad out before you go!" Nejire yelled, her arms crossed under her breasts. "It's safe now that The Dragon isn't here anymore, and you're going to hunt AFO right now anyway."

Momo's eyes seemed to glimmer from the side. "Oh, oh, yes! I have been dying to see mommy and papa again!"

Neji rubbed his neck. "Shouldn't we, like, wait until Japan is actually safe though?" He deadpanned seeing the girls look at each other with feigned gasps. "Okay, I get it you guys are strong, no need to mock me. Fine, I am taking them out."

They really were strong. Nejire and Momo were Mid Tier-6, same for Rumi. The variables were Ryukyu–who was High Tier-5 and Kimi–who was Peak Tier-6.

The Tier Ranks were such-

Kimi actually seemed to have been growing stronger since the time she first took the Evolution Stone. She's been training every day, more accurately Neji was forcing her, but because of that her growth was tremendous and she was quite a bit stronger since a few months ago.

She could most certainly take on AFO, in the wildest chance he reached this mansion when Neji went out.

Deciding there was no harm behind it all, he took out the unconscious bodies one by one and soon four bodies were lying down on the ground.

"Okay, I am gonna go before they wake up. If I don't, I will just be late. Don't explain to them the Memory Orb stuff. Explain nothing. I have a different explanation present for them, just act oblivious for now."

Neji didn't wait for their answers, he waved his hand, and dipped.

He wasn't going to return anytime soon, either.

—★—

The night passed and the next day came.

In America, the leader of the Public Safety Commission was standing with his hands behind his back as he watched procedures happen on the monitor in front of him.

His assistant was beside him, a skinny man with larger than normal eyes as he read the papers in his hand.

"It would usually take a while more for us to prepare three Nukes in this peaceful era, but because of the majority of the votes– that was not a problem." The man said. "Currently, as you are seeing in the monitor, all three of the nukes are ready to be launched, anytime and any second at your order."

"So it seems."

The president of PSC ran a hand through his purple hair, his face calm as he watched the nukes just ready to be used.

But, he didn't order the launch immediately.

He asked a strange question instead.

"Were we able to contact Japan?"

The assistant remained calm.

"Not even once."

"I see."

That was sad.

It would always bug him that he wasn't sure of the situation inside Japan when the nukes were launched. Maybe they somehow managed to defeat Hisashi and All-for-One? Maybe they were trying to fix the network blockage, and just on the finale of it too, but just before they could- three nukes landed over their heads.

This will always bug him out.

"Sigh,"

But.

"Fire."

This wasn't a time to be sad. Not like a person of his stature could enjoy the luxury called sadness. Everything needed to be calculated, everything needed to be perfect. Emotions shouldn't make one's decisions.

So the nukes moved.

The scene on the huge screen changed, changing on the camera above the nukes that were going side by side. The screen was being streamed by the camera in the middle as the scene moved at a baffling speed towards Japan.

Minutes passed.

And the birdview of Japan came into sight.

—★—

Neji got a quest about finding and then killing AFO after he officially started looking for him.

The search was going fine. 

He gained a few quirks too, such as-

«Zoom View»

«Hear it All»

«Bone Manipulation»

As the name suggests, the first one could make his eyes zoom and the second let him hear everything and the last allowed him to manipulate his bones.

After this, Neji realised there were a lot of useless quirks in this world.

So Neji stopped hunting quirks that were either too low levelled or had low potential. Those won't be of any help, anyway, so he was just taking the ones that can combine with his current quirks.

But that didn't stop him from killing the villains and levelling up.

So he did exactly that. He levelled up and reached Level-206. 

Things were going good, even though the first 3 potential bases came out empty. He had the time, he would find it sooner or later.

But that was a foolish thought, he realised.

He didn't have time on his hand.

[A sudden quest has been generated!]

[Quest, "Survive", has been generated!]

[Quest: Survive!

Details: Three nukes are on their way to Japan, just about to hit. You must survive this sudden catastrophe!

Objective: Survive with Kurai!

Bonus Objective 1: Save your other loved ones!

Bonus Objective 2: Do something more than just survive!

Reward: You don't die!

Bonus Reward 1: [Tier Potions 3x], [Quirk Exp Card 1x]

Bonus Objective 2: ???

Failure: Depending on the damage taken, either [Death by Nuclear Weapons] or [Gain Multiple Debuffs]...!]

This didn't make sense.

Why were there nukes coming to Japan?

Why all of a sudden, out of nowhere?

And what were these objectives?

How was he supposed to survive with Kurai?

He could use «Permeation» and jump underground, therefore surviving- but what about Kurai? Of course, the apparent answer would be to Fuse and then survive, but Neji didn't just want to survive, he wanted to save his girls and family too. So if he were to use Fusion and become a little cat because of failed fusion, then-

"Fuck, there is no time for this…!"

Neji looked at Kurai, who was confused. She didn't have the Quest feature of the System so Neji had to quickly explain her in telepathy. 

"L-let's get going then!!"

Kurai was shocked too but she immediately put her finger up as did Neji, initiating the Fusion.

The fusion failed.

He became a cat.

"Fuckkkk!!!"

But he didn't have time to keep trying our transformations, so he spawned Dragon wings out of his white-furred back and flew towards Eusha city which was far from here.

But he was fast. He will manage to reach there and-

Everything suddenly went eerily silent.

Then.

An ear-deafening explosion happened.

-Boo~oom!

But it didn't happen in Japan.

Three explosions, forming a bigger one, were happening in the far sky away from Japan.

Turning there, Neji could only gawk like a fool as purple thunder roared in the furthest sky like the dance of a dragon.

[The Quest has been completed!]

[The Main Objective has been met!]

[No other objective has been met!]

[...Calculating rewards..!]

-A few minutes ago-

In America, the screen that was showing the view in front of the nukes suddenly stopped moving.

Meaning the nukes stopped midway.

"What's happening?!"

The PSC President asked, frowning as he leaned over to watch.

"Did the cameras break? Why is it frozen-"

["It's not broken, dear."]

A voice that he had heard a mere few times before, but still had engraved in mind, spoke.

A beautiful head with purple hair and horns slowly formed in front of the camera.

["I am simply holding these toys since they're going to a place I don't want them to go."]

"Nawab!!!!"

The President slammed his fist on the desk, glaring at the monitor with shock and anger.

"What are you doing here?!?"

["Ah, huh?"] The purple-haired woman perked her ears. ["Did you say something? Shake my head, you should have put a mic and speaker here if you wanted to talk."]

This woman could hear him. He was certain because this same situation had happened before.

"Stop pretending! Release our nukes!"

["Mhm? Release? You mean you want these toys back? Normally I would say no since I don't return stuff, but sure, I am generous today."] Her cute and innocent expression suddenly changed as she grinned ear to ear. ["Ohh, yes, yes, let me throw them towards your base, towards that darned America. Ahaha!!! Here, take them back~"]

The camera angle started to change as the Nukes started to turn towards the way they came from.

The President didn't bulge, however.

"Immediately blow up all the Nukes! Right now!"

There was no delay in his orders as the scientists in charge of the nuke, in another room, clicked three red buttons simultaneously.

Then the explosion happened.

A huge, earth-shattering sound rang out as the cameras were smashed, making the screen go blank, leaving the people inside the building breathless.

"S-sir," the assistant asked, stuttering. "I-is she dead?"

"No, no way." The President scoffed, falling down on his chair tiredly. "She won't die with something as small as that. Three nukes are nothing."

It was sad.

But it was true.

Most damage would be blocked by her [Lightning Cloak] anyway, and the leftovers will be done for by her other defence type quirks.

He hated to admit it since she was an enemy.

But.

It was true.

This woman was the strongest.

—★—

Meanwhile, Ujir, who was flying above th sky of Eusha city, finally found a mansion where her [X-Ray Vision] confirmed the presence of her target.

She couldn't find the boy, however. But that wasn't a bad thing, it was a lucky scenario instead.

-Boo~oom!

A loud explosion, capable of creating a small earthquake in the whole country, blasted in her back but Ujir didn't even turn to give it a look.

Her master was there, after all. It would be disrespectful to turn in that direction.

Instead.

She leapt down on the mansion.

She was dying to grab the Cat Woman who betrayed her Empress and bring her to her lord so that she can devour the Bee in lavishness.
