Chapter 257 257



Tenku and the girls were shocked when they heard the words from Theta. They showed such a reaction because they didn't expect that the League of Heroes would come up with something so dangerous. Besides, they thought the serum was related to the goblins they had encountered. In other words, one of the official Realizer organizations in Japan was related to the monsters' mutation.

The one who was the most shocked and disappointed of them was Kirika. She is a member of the League of Heroes, but she didn't expect that her organization would develop something so dangerous.

"Would a Realizer organization in Japan be allowed to make something like that? Then who is the masked person? Didn't you promise to explain it to me?" Wang Ruyue looked at Tenku and asked.

"No, that's not allowed. An organization shouldn't create something as dangerous as that. But we can't think badly of the League of Heroes because we don't know why they made such a thing. Besides, I have doubts about the masked person's words, whether they are true or lies.

He probably wanted to sow discord among the Realizers and have them fight each other. Afterward, he would use that opportunity to escape from this place. However, I'm not sure if that person wants to run away.

He looked calm like he had another card in his hand to deal with the Realizers from the organization's headquarters. Then about that masked person…." Tenku answered. After that, he told about the Ghost Nebula organization that recently had been wreaking havoc in various parts of Japan. Setsuka and the other two girls also added another explanation to Wang Ruyue.

"I see. I didn't expect that there would be people like that in Japan. Do you know their goal of creating chaos in this country?" Wang Ruyue said in shock.

This was the first time he had heard of a terrorist organization deliberately capturing monsters from space collapse locations and releasing them in densely populated areas to create chaos. Wang Ruyue didn't expect that such people would appear in Japan.

Even though she had read some news about monster attacks in urban areas in Japan, she couldn't get more detailed information about how these creatures could suddenly appear and wreak havoc.

Wang Ruyue thought that the Japanese government and the Realizer organization in that country had deliberately concealed the matter, and perhaps only the higher-ups of the Chinese Realizer organization knew about it. This was extremely important information for her and made her even more wary of people like that appearing in Beijing.

But then Wang Ruyue was confused about why those people did such evil things. They will not create chaos without a clear purpose. Setsuka and the other two girls looked at each other and shook their heads in response to his question. Then Wang Ruyue turned her eyes to Tenku after getting no reply from the three girls because she thought he knew something about that organization.

"I also don't know their goal of creating chaos in Japan. I've fought some of them and tried to find out about their organization. Unfortunately, I got only general information, not the Ghost Nebula's true purpose.

But there is one important thing that I learned from the terrorists when they carried out the tasks of their organization." Tenku didn't know much about the Ghost Nebula because the people he caught alive and spoke to only held low ranks within the organization. But he has little clue about their origins after meeting them a few times.

"What's that?" Setsuka urged Tenku to continue with his words. The other girls also focused on him because they felt that what he would say next was very important.

"Every time they act, they bring scrolls of parchment, whether for summoning or controlling monsters. The scroll has a magic circle on it when activated. As I recall, that item could only be made by people from Arcadia. So I thought that the terrorists from Ghost Nebula had some connection with the crossers on Earth." Tenku explained with a solemn face.

The crossers are the name for the Arcadians who came to Earth. They were not only humans from another world but also foreign races such as Elves, Dwarves, Demons, Beastmen, and others. Most of them want to communicate with the natives. Of course, they use translation tools to be able to interact with humans from Earth because the languages of the two worlds are different.

But a few of them don't want to talk to the residents of this world because they feel that their race is stronger and superior. In addition, some of the crossers show hostility to the Earth and its inhabitants. Luckily, the numbers are few, and it's harmless for now.

"What!?" Setsuka and the others were shocked and subconsciously raised their voices. They quickly realized their mistake and covered their mouth with both hands. If Tenku hadn't used the array plate to hide their presence, the Realizers from the organization's headquarters would have found them already.

"Are you sure?" Kirika wanted to confirm the truth of Tenku's words because that matter was very important. The other girls also looked at him and waited for his answer.

"I'm sure. It couldn't be created with the technique or technology of the Realizers on Earth today. The humans of this world might be able to create parchment with magic circles like that, but that would require the help of the people of Arcadia. In other words, the Ghost Nebula organization is related to the crosser." Tenku nodded and said confidently. He wouldn't joke or lie about such matters to them.

"How come you never told us about that?" Setsuka asked. She was sure that Tenku never spoke anything about the crosser to her. Setsuka's face turned cloudy. She was sad because she felt that Tenku still couldn't trust her. Wang Ruyue, Kaede, and Kirika also felt the same way as Setsuka. They were disappointed that he did not tell them about the matter.

"What do you think?" Tenku sighed and poked Setsuka's forehead.

"Ugh! Why did you hit me?" Setsuka rubbed her forehead and complained to Tenku. She was surprised by his sudden action. On the other hand, Wang Ruyue and the others scowled when they saw Tenku's treatment of Setsuka. They feel that the relationship between the two has become closer.

"I flicked your forehead to get rid of bad thoughts in your mind." Tenku said, then he did the same to the other three girls.

"Argh!"

"Agh!"

"Ugh!"

Kirika and the other two girls screamed in pain. But before they could complain, Tenku spoke first.

"That also applies to the three of you." Tenku looked at them with a serious face. He only wanted to do that to Setsuka and Wang Ruyue. But he could tell that Kirika and Kaede were also disappointed in him when he saw their expressions. Tenku couldn't ignore that. After all, he considered the two girls friends since they had spent vacation time together. So Tenku wanted to clear up their misunderstanding.

Setsuka and the others could only lower their heads and dared not look at him directly. Tenku sighed and opened his mouth.

"I know what you guys are thinking. I didn't tell you about this for some reason. Firstly, I still wasn't initially convinced that the terrorists were related to the crossers from Arcadia. Second, I don't want you to get involved in a dangerous matter. I don't know how strong the Ghost Nebula is.

After learning you obtained information about their organization's secrets, I worried they would target you. I don't want that to happen. So I didn't tell you about the matter not because I didn't trust you but because I cared about you." Tenku explained.

"Tenku..." Kaede and the others raised their heads and said in low voices. They feel guilty for having misunderstood him. Moreover, the girls were moved because of his words.

"Therefore, please do not misunderstand me. I did it for your good." Tenku smiled gently.

"We understand. We are sorry." The girls bowed their heads and said apologetically.

"You don't need to apologize to me because I don't mind about that. Right now, we should focus on listening to their conversation. We might get valuable information from them." Tenku shifted his eyes to the Realizers from headquarters. Kaede and the others nodded, then focused on the chat between the three Realizer leaders and Theta.

"Is what he said true, Isao? Have you guys created a serum to evolve a monster?" Kasumi narrowed her eyes at Isao and asked seriously.

"What is the purpose of the League of Heroes creating something like that? Don't you know it's very dangerous if it's misused?" Subaru said in a deep voice. He was angry because he felt that the League of Heroes had used the Realizers of the Holy Union for their interests. Isao could only remain silent under their gazes as he could not answer their questions.

"Hahaha! Didn't you guys see it? He can't answer your questions because my words are true! League of Heroes has created a serum to strengthen monsters! They might even use that to create their army and outperform the other two organizations!" Theta laughed and tried to pit them against each other. He wanted to destroy the relationship between the three organizations.

"Nonsense! We never thought about that! We created that serum by accident! We researched why Realizers' powers could increase after killing monsters from another world. But we still can't get the answer because it happens naturally, just like the experience we get in a game." Isao responded to Theta's words.

"Then why did you create the serum?" Subaru asked. Kasumi glared at Isao and waited for him to speak. He also wanted to know why the League of Heroes had created something as dangerous as that.

"After that research, we thought we might be able to use the cells from those monsters to achieve the same effect. Then we extract the DNA from those cells and try to use it to increase the powers of the Realizers. Of course, we wouldn't be testing something dangerous like that on humans.

Originally, we only used animals as substitutes. We've made all kinds of changes and modifications to that DNA. After our research entered its final stage and the serum was finished, we tried to inject the serum into several Realizers." Isao looked at the two and answered.

Subaru and Kasumi's faces darkened after they heard the last sentence of Isao's explanation.
