Chapter 404 The City of Aliens

Sixth Avenue, Tokyo, Japan.

In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since the "Gates of Hell" incident.

As public opinion gradually subsided, Lu Xuan finally had the time to rebuild Sixth Avenue.

Compared to its original size of just one street, Sixth Avenue has now undergone a complete transformation.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't believe that this place, which covers nearly a thousand square kilometers, was once the narrow and crowded Sixth Avenue.

It's not just the expansion of the land area; Sixth Avenue's facilities have also been greatly improved.

From the most basic street-level infrastructure to modern, essential quantum communication base stations…

Sixth Avenue is now even connected to the outside world via the internet, greatly facilitating the lives of the aliens living there.

Given that the existence of Sixth Avenue was no longer a secret within TPC, Saki even took it upon herself to introduce some cybernetic warriors to Sixth Avenue to maintain order.

Of course, nominally it was still an investment by the Galvin Company.

In any case, Gailvin's business scope is very broad and involves many industries, so making additional investments in a particular company is not a big deal at all.

As for whether the company's behind-the-scenes shareholder is Sixth Avenue?

What does Saki mean by Sixth Avenue?

I don't know, it's none of my business, don't talk nonsense!

Even though they knew Saki was pretending to be stupid, TPC ultimately chose to ignore her because of her identity.

However, in secret, TPC still secretly planted some professional agents in Sixth Avenue, barely managing to reach a subtle understanding with the outcasts living there.

......................................................................................................

"Is this the real Sixth Avenue?"

Strolling along the streets built to first-class standards, the Lebik aliens took in the bustling scene on both sides and couldn't help but express their feelings.

Compared to the miniature city he built, Sixth Avenue is the true "settlement".

In this alternate dimension, independent of the present world, the vast majority of the aliens are permanent residents who have lived here for many years.

In addition to the most basic living and entertainment facilities, there are even dedicated order maintainers here.

The mechanized, bionic warriors that appear at the intersection corner each possess the most basic law enforcement powers.

Not to mention compared to the perennial disorder and chaos of the "black streets".

Even compared to large cities built by humans, Sixth Avenue is not much inferior.

To be honest, apart from the fact that its population is smaller than that of large cities, it is already a small kingdom with a well-established order.

"That's right, your messy, dark streets can't compare to this place."

With considerable pride, Ryan, who had long resided on Sixth Avenue, led the Lebek aliens through the streets.

"If it weren't for the strict regulations of TPC, do you believe that even those 'supernatural individuals' who awaken from among humans would choose to settle here?"

No discrimination, no need for pretense...

The number and variety of outcasts living on Sixth Avenue are unimaginable; they simply don't care about a few more oddly-looking individuals.

This is a treatment that is absolutely impossible in human society, and it is also the fundamental reason why TPC tacitly approves of the existence of Sixth Avenue.

I believe that.

Without hesitation, the Lebik alien looked up at the sky as he said this.

Beyond the field of vision of a normal person, a blurry figure flashes by in an instant, looking as if it were some kind of illusion.

However, the Lebik aliens have complete confidence in their eyesight.

It was certain that it wasn't a hallucination, but that something had actually flashed across the sky.

"Speaking of which, doesn't Sixth Avenue also take in some 'supernatural' offspring?"

They were clearly taken aback by the question posed by the Lebik aliens.

It took Ryan a while to realize that the "clown" the other person was referring to might mean a child.

"You mean Jia'er?"

Although there are many oddballs on Sixth Avenue, Kari is definitely the most unique among them.

This is not only because she is the goddaughter of the Nine-Tailed Fox, but also because she is the only underage human on Sixth Avenue.

As mentioned earlier, “supernatural individuals” who awaken from among humans are usually taken away by the TPC and rarely appear on Sixth Avenue.

Jia'er is an exception, and the only exception.

"Jia'er?"

Tilting its head slightly, the Lebik alien laughed with an adorable gesture that was completely out of character for its appearance.

"So that's how it is. So her name is Jia'er?"

Instantly, Ryan's vigilance spiked; he had heard of the infamous Lebik aliens.

These aliens, who inherited the technology of a lost civilization, are born with a predatory instinct and will take almost anything they set their sights on.

Even though Sanada Ryosuke had told him that this Lebik alien was the kind of reformed outcast, Ryan dared not be negligent in the slightest on this matter.

After all, he was one of the few who knew Lu Xuan's identity and was also aware of Jia'er's importance in Lu Xuan's heart.

"You rascal, you wouldn't be eyeing Kari, would you?"

Looking at the seemingly bewildered Lebik aliens, Ryan gave them a very serious warning.

"I'm warning you, no matter what kind of crazy ideas you have, don't try anything funny with Jia'er."

"Believe me, you don't want to know what terrible consequences that will bring."

The Lebik alien blinked involuntarily and muttered something in a slightly enlightened tone.

"It seems that the identity of that human cub is not as simple as it appears..."

Without letting Ryan hear what they were saying, the Lebik alien quickly changed the subject.

"Don't worry, although I'm somewhat interested in that human cub, I can also distinguish between what's important and what's urgent."

"I came to Sixth Avenue this time only to reach a cooperation agreement with you, and I never intended to cause trouble."

The Lebik alien was telling the truth; its purpose in coming here was to establish a cooperative relationship with Sixth Avenue, thereby opening up a network of connections with many "black streets" in the outside world.

Or to put it more bluntly, the Lebek aliens want to be a middleman, acting as an intermediary between Sixth Avenue and other underworld streets.

Only in this way can we continuously enhance our importance and prevent a larger-scale conflict between the Lebik aliens and humans when they descend upon Earth.

"It's good that you understand this; I'll be keeping an eye on you at all times."

Chapter 405 Seventy-two Changes

"It looks like someone just spotted me..."

Standing atop the tallest building on Sixth Avenue, Kari, who appeared out of nowhere, looked down at the scene below with some confusion.

Unfortunately, limited by her human body, Kari couldn't see the bustling crowd below.

"You've been spotted? Really?"

Standing not far from Kari, Kuzuha Jiro thought that Kari must be overthinking things.

Regardless of the fact that Kari was not in a normal human form just now, her height alone almost eliminated the possibility of her being seen with the naked eye.

Even if they are non-human beings, it doesn't mean they can see fleeting shadows thousands of meters in the sky.

"I also think you're overthinking it. Anyway, you always like to overthink things."

The shadow behind Kuzuha Jiro rose silently and emitted a low, hoarse sound.

After such a long period of retraining, and with Lu Xuan's help...

Kuzuha Jiro's Shadow Mage has finally been reborn, and has perfectly inherited the memories and personality of the previous Shadow Mage.

According to Lu Xuan, the Shadow Mage now possesses a mental structure similar to that of the Kiriel people, and the collapse and disappearance of the shadow is no longer a true death for them.

Kuzuha Jiro only needs to integrate the spiritual imprint of the former Shadow Mage into the new shadow during the training process, and the Shadow Mage can be perfectly resurrected.

"I wasn't thinking anything..."

Pouting, Jia'er glared at the Shadow Mage and retorted without any confidence.

"Alright, alright, let's get back to the main topic."

How did you feel just now?

"Can you achieve the 'ever-changing' that Uncle Lu mentioned?"

He stepped forward, smiled, and ruffled Kari's hair before promptly changing the subject and asking a question.

Since Lu Xuan deciphered the so-called "magical powers," the cultivation methods of Kuzunoha Jiro and Kari have undergone tremendous innovation.

Needless to say, Kuzuha Jiro, possessing the strengths of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Oni Warrior, and Shadow Mage, has almost carved out a unique path for himself.

Although Kari did not live as long as Kuzuha Jiro, her talent far surpassed his.

In addition, due to Lu Xuan's intentional or unintentional favoritism, Jia'er's cultivation of magical abilities far surpasses that of Kuzue Jiro.

Most obviously, Lu Xuan combined the characteristics of the demon bird Zoga to create a set of ever-changing supernatural abilities tailored for Jia'er.

The demon bird Zoga is a void spiritual life form. Only when it parasitizes intelligent life forms can it materialize into a physical form by borrowing their resentment and hatred.

Although these entities always appear in the form of demonic birds, it does not mean that they can only become demonic birds.

On the contrary, Lu Xuan believed that Zoga's greatest strength lay in its versatility and ability to take on any form.

To this end, Lu Xuan combined different technological concepts such as Omnitrix, Kiriel, and the Giant of Light, and supplemented them with the unique cultivation methods of the monsters, to compile a special cultivation method for Jia'er.

"It's the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art and the Seventy-Two Transformations!"

Kari rolled her eyes at Kuzuha Jiro, clearly annoyed that he hadn't remembered the two names.

"It's not like I haven't read Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods..."

This time it was Kuzunojiro's turn to roll his eyes; he couldn't remember Uncle Lu having given this special supernatural power a name.

Or rather, given Lu Xuan's personality, would he really care about such a trivial matter that he considers insignificant?

Whether it's the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art or the Seventy-Two Transformations...

Those were just names that Jia'er came up with herself in her chuunibyou phase; they never received any official approval from Lu Xuan.

“If I say yes, then yes. I’ll talk to Uncle Lu about naming next time.”

Seeing that the topic had gone off track again, the shadow mage behind Kuzuha Jiro had no choice but to step in and bring the topic back on track.

"I mean, we weren't just discussing this, were we?"

Clearly carrying a hint of dejection, the Shadow Mage felt that he was indeed not suited for tasks like taking care of children.

Especially these two troublesome brats, Shadow Master thought they should be separated and then handed over to Brother Da Gu and Uncle Jing Long to take care of respectively.

"slightly!"

Upon hearing this, Kari stuck out her tongue at the Shadow Monk before answering the question that Kuzuha Jiro had initially posed.

"Without changing its body shape, it can easily transform into other animals."

"When it comes to changes in body shape, I need the help of another 'me'."

"Especially when I transform into a monster like the Demon Bird, I can only complete the transformation by handing over control of my body to another 'me'."

At this point, Jia'er paused slightly, and a hesitant expression appeared on her face.

"However, the other 'me' seems somewhat reluctant to come out because of Uncle Lu."

Hearing Kari say that, Kuzuha Jiro looked completely understanding.
