The communication was then restored to normal, indicating that everything was fine, and the call was disconnected.
As for why the island of Ori was suddenly split in two, the teacher brushed it off by saying that there was an earthquake in Haiti.
Although most people didn't believe it, they were all sound asleep last night and had no idea what had happened.
Given the current situation, it was clearly not suitable to stay any longer. After discussion, the teachers and students decided to return home, which was only a day earlier than planned, and it didn't cause too much of a stir.
"By the way, Tohka, have you seen Yuzuru and the others?"
"Oh, I don't think so. They said they needed to use the restroom and then I haven't seen them since."
"Strange, we're about to head back, where did they go? Even Mo Li isn't here."
Shiori scratched her head, then noticed that the three of them had disappeared.
Tohka, of course, didn't care about their whereabouts; she had already been captivated by the island's delicious food.
With no other option, Shiori could only sigh and silently return to the group.
Origami glanced in Shiori's direction, then turned back to look for Mo Li, but couldn't see him anywhere.
Thinking back to what happened last night, Origami's heart was once again filled with turmoil. She still couldn't forget that scene; the image of her fighting against thousands of enemies single-handedly always echoed in Origami's mind.
At this moment, Mo Li was with Xi Xian and Ye Ju Ya. The two looked at Mo Li with expectant eyes, waiting for him to make his final choice: who was the true Yamai Spirit?
Mo Li stood on the beach, the waves crashing against the shore making it difficult for her to calm down.
"What's wrong, Mo Li? Time's up! Hurry up and tell me, who is the most charming elf?"
"Agreed. Please don't waste any more time; this competition should end now."
"Alright, since you all say so, then I'll state my choice!"
Upon hearing that Mo Li was finally about to announce the final selection, the two exchanged a knowing glance and smiled at each other before turning back to look at Mo Li.
"My choice is—only children make choices, I want both of you!"
"Huh? Have you lost your mind? What did you tell me yesterday? You untrustworthy bastard."
"I don't understand. Please make a careful choice, Yuzuru and Moli, as this concerns the life and death of Yuzuru and Yagyu."
"This is the choice I'm giving you. Both of you are qualified to become Eight Dance Spirits, so why can't you live together?"
Mo Li opened his arms wide, making his choice to the two of them with an air of dominance: he was the Demon King, and the Demon King was the one who broke all the rules of the world; he wanted both of them.
However, Mo Li's words did not move the two of them; instead, they felt like they had been tricked.
"Hmph, utter nonsense. As expected, it's too foolish to decide the winner in this way."
"Agreed. It's naive of us to think that the duel we initiated would be decided by others."
"Looks like in the end, it'll still be the two of us who have to end this."
"Of course. You know, the one who falls is the winner!"
The two changed into their divine armor, and a hurricane suddenly rose around them, indicating that they were about to start fighting.
Mo Li quickly stepped between the two and stopped them:
"Hey, don't start fighting all the time. Didn't I say I had a way to keep both of you alive?"
"What are you talking about now? This has nothing to do with you anymore."
"Yes. Please don't get in our way."
The two slowly flew into the sky, their eyes filled with sorrow; they hadn't wanted things to turn out this way.
Seeing this, Mo Li also floated in mid-air. She decided to forget about this scene of sisters killing each other.
"I am the Demon King, the Demon King of the Eyes. Since you have chosen me as your judge, then my words shall be your judgment. You two are both Eight Dance Spirits."
"What is this? Are you kidding me?"
"Disdain, that answer is worse than that of an elementary school student. Yamai's fate is already sealed and cannot be changed."
Yuzuru and Yagyu didn't take Mo Li's words to heart. In their eyes, he was destined to become the Yamai, and their own disappearance was also destined.
But what they didn't know was that Mo Li had broken the concept of destiny countless times.
"Fate? Hahahaha, isn't fate meant to be broken?"
"Don't joke around. A mere human, with only a little strength, dares to utter such arrogant words, talking about breaking fate? How is that possible..."
"Yakuya, Yuzuru, I swear in the name of the Demon King that fate can be broken."
After saying that, Mo Li released all his magic power, and a powerful energy blasted the two of them back dozens of meters away.
This was the first time Mo Li had used all her strength to challenge this unjust fate.
Black magic burst through the sky, causing the entire earth to tremble violently. Thunder rumbled incessantly in the sky, and the sea surged with rolling waves, as if it were the end of the world.
When the Demon King rages, the heavens and earth change color.
Seeing this scene before them, Yuzuru and Yagyu couldn't help but loosen their clenched fists.
The two looked at each other and saw a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.
"If it were him, perhaps it really would be possible."
"Answer. Xi Xian agrees with Mo Li's words. Only those who defy fate can do this."
"Really? Then..."
"Definitely. Then..."
"Mo Li, I (Xi Xian) am willing to believe in you, please!" ×2
Hearing the two say this, a smile appeared on Mo Li's lips. He slowly stretched out his hands, and two contract formations appeared under the feet of Xi Xian and Ye Juya respectively.
Two beams of light shot into the sky, forming a contract between two people at once—this was the first time Mo Li had ever done something like this.
The black and yellow light gradually disappeared, and the three of them slowly landed on the ground.
Similar marks resembling the Mystic Eyes appeared on the foreheads of Yuzuru and Kaguya, indicating that their contract had been successfully formed.
"Is that all? I don't feel anything at all?"
“Strange. Yuzuru’s spiritual power has increased, and he no longer wants to fight with Kaguya.”
"Ah, the shackles of fate between you have been broken!" Maru.
Chapter 129 The Heavenly Festival, Izayoi Miku
Yuzuru and Kaguya joined the return journey and, with Reine's help, successfully entered Raizen High School.
As for the DEM group, apart from Allen who survived, all the others died.
Mo Li also reaped a great harvest this time, with two new familiars and 12500 Demon King Points, making it a very lucrative deal.
They gradually returned to their daily lives, except that the number of students going to school each day increased from two to four.
However, for Lai Chan High School, the most important day has arrived.
The annual Ten'o Festival is a cultural festival jointly organized by ten high schools located in Tengu City. Every year, the best schools in various categories such as temporary shops, exhibitions, and stages are selected based on the voting results. The school that wins first place will reign supreme in the entire Tengu City for the following year.
Last year, Ryūdanji Girls' Academy held the top spot, but this year, Raizen High School will fight tooth and nail for the top position. To this end, they even held a special preliminary election on June 9th.
However, Mo Li had absolutely no interest in such matters. When the principal invited him to serve as the executive director, he declined. He would rather spend his time training at the training ground.
In the end, just like in the original story, the important task of CEO fell to Itsuka Shiori.
Although I strongly refused, I received unanimous approval from all the students in the school and was ultimately elected unanimously.
However, Tohka, Yuzuru, and Kaguya seemed very interested in this, so Mo Li let them be.
After retrieving Yoshino and Nia from Fraxinus, Mori walked home alone.
Just as he was lamenting how boring life was, a spacequake alarm suddenly went off, causing chaos in the streets.
"Waaaaah~ A precursor to a spacequake has just been detected in this area. This is not a drill. Residents are requested to immediately evacuate to shelters. Repeating announcement: A spacequake precursor has just been detected in this area..."
Mo Li smiled slightly. Just when she was feeling bored, the fun was about to begin.
Following the spiritual energy in the air, Mo Li arrived at a train station theater.
Shiori should still be preparing for the Ten'o Festival, so I'll accept her without hesitation.
"Mo Li, we've spotted an elf!"
"Hey, Kotori, I'll go first this time. Just tell Shiori to prepare for the Ten'o Festival."
"Damn it, the elves' reaction has moved south from where the spacequake occurred. You'll have to deal with it yourself."
Kotori's resentful voice came through the earpiece. After receiving accurate information, Mo Li rushed to the scene, even using Yamai's spiritual power.
Upon entering the theater, Mo Li heard someone singing inside; the singing was very pleasant to hear.
But Mo Li frowned. Although he didn't understand music, he could hear a sense of loneliness, indifference, and emptiness in the song. There was nothing about it that resonated with him.
It seems that the only word to describe it is that it sounds nice, and there is no other feeling associated with it.
Following the sound, they saw the moonlight shining on the elf, a girl with purple hair and silver eyes that shone brightly. She wore a light dress with hollow sleeves and lace-like light stripes on the top, and a skirt with light-colored ruffles on the bottom.
"Could she be... a Diva? An elf who was only confirmed to have appeared once half a year ago, whose abilities and details are almost completely unknown. Mo Li, you must be careful."
"It doesn't seem to have any offensive capabilities, and its spiritual power is pitifully weak. Is this thing really an elf?"
"Don't be careless, she might not be a combat-type spirit."
"Then there's even less to be afraid of. I'd like to see just what the songstress's angel is."
Mo Li slowly descended the stairs, her footsteps sounding particularly loud in the quiet theater.
Upon hearing the sound, the elf stopped singing, looked around, and, finding it pitch black outside, couldn't spot Mo Li. She then spoke:
"Oh, is there a guest? Where is he/she? If it's alright, can we chat?"
"Hmm, I feel like I've seen your face somewhere before!"
With his hands in his pockets, Mo Li leaped onto the stage, revealing himself.
Mo Li felt like she had seen the elf's face somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place it.
When Miku saw that the person who came was a boy, her expression changed instantly, and her pupils shrank. Her expression changed from full of expectation to disgust and hatred.
Although Mo Li didn't know how much favor she received from Qin Li, she could tell from her expression that Qin Li didn't seem to welcome her. This was the first time someone had ever looked at Mo Li like that.
"Haaaaaaah!"
Miku clenched her fist and emitted a sonic wave from her mouth, directly attacking Mo Li.
This tactic obviously wouldn't harm Mo Li, but it immediately brought Mo Li's mood to its lowest point.
She seems to be a yuri elf who hates men. How interesting.
Seeing Mo Li unharmed, the hatred in Miku's eyes deepened even more.
"How strange, why is everything alright? Why aren't they dead? Please disappear from this stage, from this world, from this spacetime of probability immediately!"
“Elf, you will pay the price for your words.”
"Why are you still talking to me? Please stop spitting and stop breathing. Just because you're alive, the air around us is polluted. Don't you know that?"
A fierce glint flashed in Mo Li's eyes. "They're just elves, don't be so arrogant."
Just as Miku was about to continue her attack, Mo Li's hand had already gripped her neck tightly.
“I told you, you will pay for what you said, elf.”
"You wretched insect, get your... filthy hands off me!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Li increased the pressure, leaving a red mark on Mei Jiu's neck.
I can't breathe, I can't open my mouth, why, why am I being... by a human...
Mo Li flung Mei Jiu to the ground with great force. "Killing you like this is too easy for you. By the way, you hate men the most, right?" Mo Li seemed to have thought of something interesting.
He walked slowly toward Miku, his footsteps sounding like the whispers of a demon.
Miku summoned an orchestral instrument that stood in front of her and sent out sound waves toward Mo Li again, but it was still no use.
Mo Li merely picked at his ear lightly with his hand and continued walking towards her.
"You have such a strong aversion to men, I'd like to know, are you heartbroken or something else?"
"Men are all the same, can you please shut your stinking mouth?"
Mo Li gave Miku a meaningful smile, then directly pushed Miku to the ground, restrained her hands, and gradually moved his body towards her.
