Yumi's body slowly fell, and Chen Xiao caught her steadily. Her blue hair returned to its original color, and the lines on her skin gradually faded, turning her back into a normal young girl.
"I..." She weakly opened her eyes, her pupils clear and deep, "What's wrong with me..."
Chen Xiao gently stroked her hair: "You are free now."
Yumi's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She lowered her head, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible: "I'm so sorry to have troubled you..."
Chen Xiao shook his head: "It's what I should do."
Suddenly, Yoko knelt down, the black mist in her eyes completely dissipating. Looking at Yumi, who had returned to normal, tears welled up in her eyes: "Master...you really...came back..."
Yumi struggled to sit up and gave Yoko a tired but gentle smile: "Yoko... thank you for always protecting me..."
Chen Xiao cast a healing spell, and soft golden light enveloped Yumi's body, rapidly repairing the damage caused by the evil god's corruption.
“From now on,” he said softly, “you will no longer have to be afraid of the Aesthetic Group, nor will you be controlled by the evil god.”
Yumi's cheeks flushed slightly. She mustered her courage and gently grasped Chen Xiao's hand: "Chen Xiao... my lord... have I done something wrong?"
"It's alright, you've never done anything wrong, the fault lies with everyone else."
Chapter 83 Manipulating Toyama Kazuha, Evil God Merges with Feminist Leader
The shrine was filled with the faint scent of sandalwood, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the broken window frames onto the tatami mats.
Yumi nestled in Chen Xiao's arms, her blue hair cascading down like a waterfall, and a faint blush still lingering on her fair skin.
"Lord Chen Xiao..." she murmured softly, her voice tinged with shyness, "I never imagined... I would be reborn in this way..."
Chen Xiao gently stroked her long hair, his fingertips twirling a few strands: "The power of the evil god has been completely purified, and your body is now very healthy."
Chen Xiao actually admired Yumi. In the original work, "The Great Evil Master," this intersex woman was willing to make a contract with an evil god to take away her male characteristics and become a real woman, even at the cost of making a deal with the evil god. The real mastermind behind it all was the feminist-dominated Aesthetic Group.

Yangzi knelt to one side, her long, purplish-red hair falling over her shoulders.
She pursed her lips, her eyes flashing with complexity: "I'm sorry, Chen Xiao, I only now realize that you were the one who truly cared for the leader."
"That's not your fault." Chen Xiao reached out and pulled her into his arms. "You just care too much about Yumi."
Yangzi's body trembled slightly before relaxing. She buried her face in Chen Xiao's chest, her voice muffled: "From now on... my life belongs to you..."
[Ding! The host has formed a deep bond with "Yoko Komiya"]
[Received system reward - "Sword Heart Clarity - Ultimate"]
[Effect: Swordsmanship skill is upgraded to Grandmaster level, allowing the player to predict the trajectory of all melee weapon attacks]
Chen Xiao felt the power surging within him, and a smile appeared on his lips.
He gently stroked the backs of the two girls, his gaze fixed on the darkening sky outside the window.
"Regarding that ancient religion, would it be possible for you to guide us, Lord Chen Xiao?" Yumi clung tightly to Chen Xiao's body.
“From today onwards, the Ancient Cult will be officially incorporated into Chen Xiao’s group.” His voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority. “Yang Zi will be responsible for integrating the followers, and Ning Ning will continue to serve as the captain of the guard.”
Yumi raised her head, her eyes shining with determination: "I will do everything I can to assist you... I will help those believers who have been affected by the evil god to recover one by one."
Chen Xiao nodded approvingly, gently lifting her chin with his fingers: "As expected of my Yumi."
Just then, Judy pushed open the door and entered, holding an encrypted document in her hands.
Upon seeing the scene inside, the tips of her ears turned slightly red, but she maintained her professional tone:
"Lord Chen Xiao, breaking news. Priscilla, possessed by the evil god, has returned to the headquarters of the Aesthetic Group, and they are preparing a project called the 'New Human Project'."
Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly turned cold: "So, you're finally going to show your true colors...?"
He got out of bed and put on a black trench coat.
Yumi and Yoko also immediately got up and quickly straightened their clothes.
"Notify all cadres to assemble in the conference room in one hour." Chen Xiao's voice carried a chilling killing intent. "It's time to settle things with the Weimei Group."
[Ding! Host's power expansion detected]
Chen Xiao's team gains a new trait: "Faith Cohesion".
[Effect: All members' loyalty +200%, combat power +50%]
Yumi walked behind Chen Xiao and gently wrapped her arms around his waist: "No matter what lies ahead, we will face it with you."
Yoko silently moved to the other side, her katana already tucked into her waistband: "This time, please let us accompany you to the very end."
Chen Xiao felt the warmth coming from behind him, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.
But as he gazed at the night sky outside the window, he thought to himself: Is the decisive moment finally approaching? The King of Osaka will belong to me, Chen Xiao!
The headquarters of the Aesthetic Group in downtown Osaka.
Atop the towering black skyscraper, a fierce wind howled. Priscilla's body hovered in mid-air, enveloped in the dark power of an evil god. Her eyes were completely consumed by darkness, and a sinister smile played on her lips.
Before her, Ihabila Meko, the leader of the Aesthetic Group (cbae), was kneeling on one knee, her short green hair fluttering in the wind, and her blue-green glasses reflecting a cold light.
“My Lord Evil God,” her voice was deep and fervent, “welcome back.”
The evil god looked down at her, his voice echoing like the deep sea: "Human, you are quite interesting."
Ihabila raised his head, a cold smile curving his lips: "It is truly unforgivable that Chen Xiao could bring you to such a state."
"Hmph." The evil god sneered, "He was just lucky."
“But in your current state, you are indeed unable to exert your full power.” Ihabila slowly stood up and took out a potion that shimmered with a ghostly blue light from his robes. “This is the result of my many years of research—the Evil God Adaptant.”
She held the potion up to the evil god, her eyes burning with fervor: "As long as you parasitize me, we can merge perfectly! At that time, you will gain power enough to crush Chen Xiao, and my blood... will become the key to the evolution of all women into 'new humans'!"
The evil god's tentacles trembled slightly, seemingly intrigued by the proposal: "Oh? What are your conditions?"
Ihabila's smile grew even more sinister: "It's simple—please help me destroy all men!"
Her voice echoed at the top of the building, and the members of the Aesthetic Group around her all showed expressions of fear. Even Priscilla's original consciousness, possessed by the evil god, felt a chill run down her spine.
"Hahaha!" the evil god laughed loudly. "Interesting! Very interesting!"
It suddenly broke free from Priscilla's body, turning into a cloud of black mist, and directly entered Ihabila's body!
"Ahhhh——!"
Ihabila's body trembled violently, deep-sea patterns appeared on her skin, and her pupils were completely filled with darkness. Her bones made a teeth-grinding twisting sound, her body gradually swelled, and several jet-black tentacles tore out from her back.
[Evil God·Complete Body Parasite]
[Host: Ihabila Meko]
[Strength Level: SSS]
The woman with long purple hair—Annie Loperley—stood in front of the control panel, her fingers trembling slightly. She watched Ihabila's changes on the monitor screen, a wave of fear washing over her.
"The leader...she's really gone mad..."
She quietly pressed a hidden button to back up the entire video and experimental data, and then quickly left the control room.
Meanwhile, at Chen Xiao's team's base.
Chen Xiao stood in front of the huge strategic sand table, surrounded by core members such as Mei, Yangzi, Ningning, and Judy.
“Breaking news.” Judy brought up the holographic projection, which displayed a live video feed of the Aesthetic Group’s headquarters. “The evil god has parasitized Ihabila, and their power is rapidly expanding.”
A cold glint flashed in Chen Xiao's eyes: "Is the final battle finally about to begin?"
Yumi clenched her fist, her blue hair fluttering slightly: "Ihabila... she's always wanted to turn me into a hermaphrodite, and now she's even teamed up with an evil god..."
Yangzi drew her katana, her long, purplish-red hair moving without wind: "Lord Chen Xiao, please give the order."
Ningning's demon-slaying arrow was already nocked: "We are ready to strike at any time."
Chen Xiao glanced around at everyone, a confident smile playing on his lips: "Okay."
He raised his hand and waved it, and countless points of light instantly lit up on the Osaka map on the sand table—
"All members of Chen Xiao's team, listen to my command!"
"Target—The headquarters of the Aesthetic Group!"
"This battle will be fought to the death!"
[Ding! Host has triggered the final battle]
[Gain temporary buff "King's Wrath"]
[Effect: All attributes +500%, lasts until the end of battle]
Hattori Heizo and Toyama Ginjiro stood in the strategic conference room, where a holographic projection displayed a live view of the headquarters of the Aesthetic Group—at the top of that black building, Ihabila Meko's figure was completely distorted and deformed, with tentacles extending from his back dancing in the night sky, like a monster from a nightmare.
“The situation is worse than we thought.” Ginjiro Toyama frowned. “Ihabila’s research into biotechnology has gone too far, and now she has merged with the evil god… If she really gets out of control, the whole of Osaka will be plunged into disaster.”
Hattori Heizo crossed his arms, his gaze deep: "Chen Xiao is our only hope."
He turned to look at Kazuha Toyama, who was standing to the side, and said in a softer voice, "Kazuha, we need you to go to Chen Xiao's group."
Kazuha raised her head, a hint of displeasure flashing in her amber eyes: "Dad wants me to relay a message?"
“That’s right.” Toyama Ginjiro nodded. “Tell Chen Xiao that if the battle turns in their favor, I hope he can… show mercy.”
"Show mercy?" Kazuha's voice rose slightly. "You've been using him all along! And now you want him to control his power?"
Hattori Heiji, standing to the side, wanted to interject: "Kazuha, this isn't exploitation, it's—"
"Enough!" He Ye interrupted him, turned around and walked out. "I'll go find Chen Xiao myself and explain things to him!"
She stormed out of the conference room without looking back, leaving only the heavy sound of the door closing echoing in the corridor.
Chen Xiao was deploying the final tactics in the operations room, with every defensive node of the Weimei Group headquarters marked on the holographic sand table. Yumi, Yoko, Ningning, and Judy stood on either side, their expressions serious.
“I’ll be in charge of the frontal assault.” Chen Xiao’s fingers traced across the sand table. “Yangzi will lead the swordsmen to break through from the flank, while Ningning’s archers will provide ranged support.”
"And what about me?" Yumi asked softly.
Chen Xiao looked at her, his gaze softening: "You and Judy will be in charge of rear support and treating the wounded."
Yumi pursed her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just nodded.
