Skadi rushed over to Goki with a thud, immediately waving her small hands, gently pulling Silence and Ptilopsis back, and at the same time, easily peeling Saria's tail off Goki.
"You are—hmm?"
Suddenly attacked, Saria instinctively reached out, but her hand was gently grasped by Skadi and casually pushed back; even though Saria used all her strength, Skadi completely disregarded it.
Then, Skadi, still soaking wet, gave Goki a big hug.
"???"
Having beaten up her peers since childhood, and even after growing up, Saria had never encountered anyone stronger than herself; being easily gripped by the arm and pushed back by Skadi, not only did she clench her fists in disbelief, but even the surrounding onlookers momentarily forgot the tense atmosphere.
"Director Saria doesn't seem to be as strong as her."
"No, wasn't she completely overpowered?"
The Directorate-General Guard, who had been full of confidence just moments ago, suddenly felt somewhat deflated—who didn't know how strong Saria was? How could they possibly fight this?
"Cough, cough, it's fine, she's one of us, one of us. I told you about her, remember?—Where's Kaltsit? Where did she go?"
Goki was a bit embarrassed and quickly introduced Skadi to Saria and the others beside him, then inquired about another key person.
Skadi was only responsible for fighting, but the existence of the other one... was a dimensionality reduction strike for Rhine Lab.
"Ah, I originally wanted to carry her up, but Kaltsit disagreed. She should be here any moment now—"
"Are you talking about me?—Goki, I can't control this husky of yours."
Soon, accompanied by the sound of tearing steel, dark crystalline claws pierced through the tear Skadi had made upon entering the room, easily cutting through the metal armor dozens of meters off the ground.
A Feline female in a suit, with wet fur on her head, walked into the room looking like a drowned cat.
During this process, a gigantic, awe-inspiring, pitch-black crystalline beast quietly retreated into Kaltsit's back.
Then, she suddenly shook her head, drying the water droplets from her hair, and regained her handsome Feline appearance.
Around Kaltsit's waist, an instrument similar to a Geiger counter clicked, faster and faster—this was an instrument for searching for Originium radiation, and thanks to the samples provided by Goki, this instrument could now detect remnants of divine power.
As if nothing had happened, Kaltsit first glanced at Goki, confirming his safety, then narrowed her beautiful eyes and looked at the student directly opposite her, whose appearance was exceptionally familiar.
"Nona Director... or rather, this student, it seems you have not strictly adhered to the scientific research Dao that I taught you."
And opposite her, the Director subconsciously took a step back, her usual composed expression gone, replaced by a hint of... fear?
"Also, what's with your horn?"
Clearly, Kaltsit must have been exceptionally strict when she was a teacher.
Compared to her mysterious and unpredictable appearance now, the Director seemed somewhat like a flustered child.
"Tea, Teacher, Teacher Kaltsit—I only heard that you kicked that scoundrel Lokken out of academia a few years ago. How could you be here... This horn, when I was in Kazimierz, I was also attacked by that kind of monster. Luckily, my horn was long, so it blocked those tentacles that suck people's brains."
After a brief moment of dazed, the Director nodded knowingly, tapped her broken horn, and took a deep breath.
"Indeed, you are behind all of this... Teacher Kaltsit."
Kaltsit also nodded, calmly advising her former student.
"Then, you know what I'm here to do. Stop now, Director, you have crossed the line and are in danger—"
"Of course I know!—Even if it's my teacher, trying to snatch my man is unacceptable! I will prove to you that Mortals will use this power to protect themselves, not sit back and wait for death!"
With the teacher's appearance, the Director swallowed hard but still maintained her composure, extending her hand and wagging her finger at Kaltsit.
Goki was the key to her research; if Goki was present, the Director would feel much more at ease about the future of Mortals.
"Even if the President of Columbia comes here today—they won't get Goki from us! Not even if you've been single for hundreds of years, Teacher!"
Crack—
Goki seemed to hear a rational string in Kaltsit's head snap.
Indeed, any normal person who had been undercover in Columbia for several months, meticulously planning an infiltration to thoroughly stop Rhine Lab's overreaching experiments, only for the theme of the battle to strangely turn into a fight over a man, would certainly not be happy.
And Kaltsit... was about to die of anger!
"Goki, Skadi... I've changed my mind—first, beat them up, then persuade them!"
A flash of agitated light flickered in her green eyes; Kaltsit was actually a little happy that her student, after all this, still had a foolish side like Skadi.
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click—Boom!
The next second, the clicking of the Geiger counter, accompanied by an air blast, a dark and shimmering power surged towards everyone, clashing with the silver-gray mist.
"Old Director—I've wanted to beat you up for a long time!"
Unexpectedly, the first to charge at the Director was Saria, who seemed the most composed but had a ferocious smile on her face.
In reality, still young as she was... she wasn't that composed.
All the heavy experimental tables in the room were overturned and blown to the side.
Jokes aside, once a real fight started... there were many Super Mortals in this room!
