"I'll go ask that guy what's going on later."
Compared to the inexplicable clearance on his body, the more important thing now is to quickly deal with the Golden King Beast at the bottom of the pit.
After all, this type of monster is very good at tearing space to escape.
If such a huge creature were to escape, who knows if it would suddenly reappear later and cause great harm to Watatsumi Island or Inazuma?
Thinking this, Yuuko lightly leaped, jumping down into the hundred-meter-deep giant pit before him.
Bang!
After landing at the bottom, he realized that the Golden King Beast seemed to be on the verge of death... Its huge body was battered beyond recognition, even broken directly into two halves.
From the looks of it, it wouldn't be able to survive.
"Did I use too much force...?" Seeing this, Yuuko sighed softly.
He had originally wanted to keep it alive and bring it back for a good interrogation, but who knew that one Heavenly Star would instantly kill it... "It was mainly the clearance given by the Tsaritsa; otherwise, one Heavenly Star wouldn't have been enough to cause such immense power."
Yuuko knew that the layer of frost covering him when he activated Heavenly Star was definitely not ordinary Ice Elemental Power.
That layer of frost could even catalyze the expansion of Elemental Power.
It was precisely the catalysis of that layer of frost that caused the second round of massive explosions after Heavenly Star struck... He estimated that the clearance the Tsaritsa gave him was probably the function of catalyzing Elemental Power expansion and eruption.
At this moment, the Golden King Beast struggled to open its eyes.
It looked at the tiny human before it, and deep fear was revealed in its murky pupils.
It was the first time it had felt such profound fear towards a human.
It felt that perhaps only its creator could possess such terrifying power... Afterward, the Golden King Beast's pupils slowly dimmed, and its life continued to fade away.
Finally, the Golden King Beast died completely.
The black aura Entanglement around its body also slowly dissipated... On the other side, far from the pit, Sangonomiya Kokomi sat paralyzed on the ground, stunned for a very, very long time.
Because just now, she had witnessed an enormous meteor fall, directly smashing the Golden King Beast into the ground.
Later, that meteor even triggered a terrifying energy storm... Such a shocking scene, how could Sangonomiya Kokomi not be stunned?
Although she knew Yellow Fox was very powerful, seeing Yellow Fox use such a terrifying move still made her feel a chill.
"That meteor just now should have contained Geo, Electro, and Cryo elements simultaneously, right...?"
"Just who is Yellow Fox...?"
After a while, Sangonomiya Kokomi seemed to suddenly remember something and shook her head.
"No, now is not the time to think about this."
She hurriedly got up and ran towards the giant pit.
Just as she reached the edge of the giant pit, Yuuko also happened to emerge from the bottom of the pit.
Yuuko briefly explained the situation to Sangonomiya Kokomi:
"I've dealt with that big guy, and the black aura on its body has dissipated. You can call people over to move its corpse back for study later."
"I have other matters, so I'll be leaving first."
As his voice fell, Yellow Fox's figure instantly vanished again.
"Mr. Yellow Fox, wait a moment..." Sangonomiya Kokomi wanted to stop him but was still a step too slow.
She could only lean over and look down into the giant pit at her feet.
This giant pit had a radius and depth of over a hundred meters.
It was hard to imagine that this was a man-made phenomenon... Afterward, Sangonomiya Kokomi also saw the Golden King Beast at the bottom of the pit, its body broken into two halves.
Needless to say, the Golden King Beast was definitely dead.
Rather, it was surprising that after enduring that meteor, its body remained so intact, merely broken into two pieces.
The Golden King Beast's body was indeed quite tough.
"However, even the Abyss should only have one monster that has evolved to this extent. Why would the Abyss send such a monster to attack Watatsumi Island...?"
After a moment of contemplation, Sangonomiya Kokomi suddenly shook her head.
She suddenly remembered something even more important.
"No! I need to go check on Mr. Yuuko immediately!"
Thinking this, she left in a hurry, her face full of anxiety, and rushed towards the spot where Yuuko had fallen earlier.
Upon reaching that spot, Sangonomiya Kokomi anxiously called out:
"Mr. Yuuko! Are you alright! Please hold on! I'll heal you right away!"
Under the tree, Yuuko, who had just returned, struggled to lift his head and smiled, "I'm fine."
"Mr. Yuuko, please don't speak carelessly! I will heal you!"
With that, Sangonomiya Kokomi disregarded the consequences, forcefully expended her own energy, and summoned her last jellyfish.
After summoning the jellyfish, her face turned very pale, and she was gasping for breath.
And that jellyfish was emitting gentle water ripples, continuously nourishing Yuuko's body.
Of course, Yuuko actually had no injuries at all.
But even so, this jellyfish only healed Yuuko.
Even though Sangonomiya Kokomi also had some injuries on her body, she still made the jellyfish only heal Yuuko.
"Miss Kokomi, your injuries..."
"I'm fine." Sangonomiya Kokomi shook her head with a pale face and smiled:
"But Mr. Yuuko, please rest assured, that monster has been dealt with. Mr. Yuuko doesn't need to worry anymore."
"Is that so? Thank you, Miss Kokomi."
"No, I didn't do anything." Sangonomiya Kokomi shook her head again, a bitter expression on her face:
"I still failed to live up to Mr. Yuuko's resolve. If Mr. Yellow Fox hadn't arrived at the last moment, I probably would have lost my life..."
"Watatsumi Island would also likely have been destroyed by that monster."
"Mr. Yuuko risked his life to block that attack for me, but I couldn't fulfill Mr. Yuuko's entrustment..."
"I... am not a qualified administrator of Watatsumi Island..."
Speaking of this, Sangonomiya Kokomi's face was filled with self-reproach.
In her opinion, an ordinary person like Yuuko risking his life to save her and entrusting her with the will to protect Watatsumi Island must have taken an enormous resolve.
Yet, she still couldn't defeat the Golden King Beast.
This feeling of self-reproach was deeply rooted in Sangonomiya Kokomi's heart.
At this moment, Yuuko reached out and gently stroked Sangonomiya Kokomi's head:
"Miss Kokomi, there's no need for self-reproach. Perhaps it wasn't you who ultimately saved Watatsumi Island, but you still did your best to protect it, didn't you?"
"If you hadn't held back that monster just now, it probably would have caused immense casualties on Watatsumi Island."
"Miss Kokomi, you have also sacrificed a lot for Watatsumi Island, so please don't take all the responsibility upon yourself."
"You've already done very well."
Sangonomiya Kokomi was slightly startled.
Since childhood, she had never been told such words by anyone.
As the current Divine Priestess of Sangonomiya, she had always deliberately done things perfectly since she was young.
Because she was the administrator of Watatsumi Island, as a leading figure, to maintain the image of Watatsumi Island, she had to do everything well.
Similarly, to maintain her image in front of everyone, Sangonomiya Kokomi had always put on a brave face.
But now, after her shortcomings were exposed to Yuuko.
Not only was Yuuko not disappointed in her, but he even encouraged her.
