Global Awakening SSS-Rank: Hearing the Beauty’s Heart

Chapter 137: You Lied to Me! Huang Yiyi’s Anger!

Chapter 137: You Lied to Me! Huang Yiyi's Anger!

If he could, Lin Tianming didn’t want to have a conflict with these five members of the Yellow Clothes Church here.

But if they really dared to attack him, Lin Tianming wouldn’t sit idly by.

Seeing the shadow attack coming at him like an evil ghost, Lin Tianming's body surged with the power of thunder.

Thunderstorm Fury!

With the speed boost from Thunderstorm Fury, Lin Tianming quickly dodged the shadow attack with Huang Yiyi.

"Yiyi, stay here for now. No matter what happens later, control your emotions and never release the black mist. I promised to protect you, and I will protect you!"

Worried that Huang Yiyi might lose control of her emotions halfway and release the black mist again, transforming into the Saint Golden Butterfly to escape, Lin Tianming gave her one last reminder before acting.

As for whether Huang Yiyi could take it in, it was not within Lin Tianming’s consideration as he had no choice but to fight.

If she really escaped like last night, he couldn’t do anything about it.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Tianming turned to offense, taking the initiative to attack.

Spirit Transformation!

Transforming into a spirit, Lin Tianming’s body became incorporeal. Even though these five Yellow Clothes Church members were at a higher level, they had never encountered such an opponent before and didn't know where Lin Tianming was.

While they were busy looking for Lin Tianming, he had silently ambushed them from behind.

Thunder Stomp!

Materializing his form, Lin Tianming stomped the ground with thunderous force. His Thunder Stomp ripped the ground apart, launching a close-range attack on the five Yellow Clothes Church members.

By the time they noticed Lin Tianming behind them, it was too late to block his Thunder Stomp.

However, despite not having time to defend, the Thunder Stomp empowered by Thunderstorm Fury still did not inflict substantial damage on them.

"I thought you were formidable. Turns out it's just bravado. How can a level seventeen like you hurt us?"

The leading dark-element Yellow Clothes Church member laughed recklessly. Just as he was about to capture the low-level Lin Tianming himself, he felt the ground beneath him shaking violently.

With the earth’s power enough to threaten their lives, multiple earth spikes shot up, sending the five Yellow Clothes Church members flying into the air.

"This... isn’t this my Earth Spike skill? Why... why does it feel more powerful than when I cast it myself?"

One of the earth-element Yellow Clothes Church members cried out in disbelief.

Before they could understand what was happening, Lin Tianming, who had successfully used the copied Earth Spike, didn't give them any respite.

Because Lin Tianming knew that if he gave them a chance to recover, they would retaliate fiercely.

His current advantage was that they didn’t know about his Hand of God ability to copy skills!

While the five Yellow Clothes Church members hadn’t recovered, he had to defeat them all.

Poisonous Vines!

With the Hand of God’s additional boost to non-super spells, the Poisonous Vines Lin Tianming cast were more terrifying than those cast by the wood-element Yellow Clothes Church member.

Just as they were about to steady themselves after being hit by the Earth Spike, they saw thick poisonous vines shooting up from the broken ground, turning their faces pale.

"This... isn’t this my Poisonous Vine... ah! The pain... it’s too painful! Why is this Poisonous Vine’s poison stronger than mine?"

"I... I get it! It’s that kid's ability! But how can a level seventeen kid repeatedly cast our skills with more power than we can?"

Entangled and poisoned by the vines, the five Yellow Clothes Church members screamed in agony.

The two fire-element members resisted the poison, trying to burn the vines to escape.

If they managed to cast it, Lin Tianming would have a hard time dealing with them.

Soul Capture!

Using the Soul Capture skill that even top-tier awakeners like Teacher Jiang Han couldn’t resist, Lin Tianming made the five members lose their minds.

Not trusting that they would remain in this state, he prepared for when they might recover.

To ensure they were powerless even after waking up, Lin Tianming used the last copied dark-element skill.

Shadow Blaze!

This was the strongest skill of the dark-element member. With the Hand of God’s power boost, the shadow energy erupted with terrifying power.

Five streams of Shadow Blaze shot towards the five members, depleting their strength.

If Lin Tianming hadn’t held back, wanting to extract more valuable information from them once Hua Yufei arrived, they would have been killed by the Shadow Blaze.

Confirming that they were powerless even if they woke up, Lin Tianming dragged them back to Huang Yiyi.

"Yiyi, now you should believe that I can protect you, right?"

Huang Yiyi looked dazedly at the five unconscious Yellow Clothes Church members and nodded instinctively.

Lin Tianming continued, "So, stay with me from now on. If we encounter any monsters or strange people trying to capture you, don't be afraid. With me protecting you, they can't hurt you! If you don't get scared, you won't lose control of your emotions, and without losing control, you won't release the black mist that can harm innocent people!"

Gradually coming out of the shock of Lin Tianming easily suppressing the five Yellow Clothes Church members, Huang Yiyi earnestly nodded her small head, her eyes filled with gratitude for Lin Tianming.

"Thank you for protecting me, Tianming!"

At this moment, Huang Yiyi truly saw Lin Tianming as someone she could trust.

Using this encounter with the five Yellow Clothes Church members to further gain Huang Yiyi's trust, Lin Tianming said, "Let's keep moving!"

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know soon."

Lin Tianming didn’t know how to answer Huang Yiyi regarding their destination.

After all, his approach to her was to take her away.

But this was to prevent her from becoming a tool for the monsters of the Land of Calamity and the Yellow Clothes Church to unlock the seal of the Demon Tomb.

Currently, no human awakeners have become gods globally. If the Demon Tomb seal is prematurely unlocked, it would bring forth a crisis of divine-level monsters ravaging the world.

For the future of humanity, and to give Ye Qingxue and other goddess reincarnators enough time to develop and become gods, he had to do this.

He hoped Huang Yiyi would understand when she learned the truth later...

Bringing Huang Yiyi and the five unconscious Yellow Clothes Church members to the designated location, Lin Tianming sent a message to Hua Yufei, asking when she would arrive.

"Right away!"

Listening to Hua Yufei’s voice message through his earphone, Lin Tianming saw the ever fairy-like Hua Yufei appear in his view within seconds.

Seeing someone else walk into this secluded street, even if she was beautiful, Huang Yiyi became tense.

"Senior Hua, you finally came!"

"Junior Tianming, why did you ask me to come to such a place? If it weren’t you asking, I’d suspect someone had ill intentions toward me!"

Hua Yufei walked closer to Lin Tianming, half-jokingly.

Lin Tianming gestured for Hua Yufei to look at Huang Yiyi hiding behind him, "Senior Hua, look who this is."

Hearing this, Hua Yufei looked at Huang Yiyi hiding behind Lin Tianming.

Upon seeing her, Hua Yufei’s face showed disbelief.

"It's her! The yellow dress girl you encountered last night. Our awakening battle team has been searching for her trace today without any leads. How did you find her?"

Lin Tianming truthfully replied, "I ran into her tonight at Tianhui Square with my roommate. To prevent her from being captured by the Yellow Clothes Church and the monsters of the Land of Calamity, I stabilized her and notified you right away."

"You did well, Junior Tianming. We absolutely cannot let her fall into the hands of the Yellow Clothes Church and the monsters, becoming their accomplice in evil deeds. For her not to harm more innocents, we must capture her and effectively control her, even taking necessary measures!"

Hua Yufei affirmed and praised Lin Tianming's handling.

Even if the Yellow Clothes Church and monsters didn't capture her to unlock the Demon Tomb seal, she was still an extremely unstable and dangerous individual.

If possible, she must be captured and, if necessary, killed!

Lin Tianming understood that Hua Yufei’s necessary measures implied killing Huang Yiyi.

But since he promised to protect Huang Yiyi, he wouldn't let her die, as long as she didn’t commit evil.

He called Hua Yufei without informing her he had found Huang Yiyi precisely because of this.

He didn't want her bringing a large group from the awakening battle team. Even if Hua Yufei believed him, the others wouldn't and wouldn't let such an unstable factor as Huang Yiyi live.

At that point, they would truly fall out with Huang Yiyi.

And they couldn't really kill her!

With Huang Yiyi’s ability to turn into a Saint Golden Butterfly and escape, if they provoked her, no one could stop her.

If she ran away, traumatized by this incident, she would be even more easily provoked in the future, causing more innocent deaths.

Protecting Huang Yiyi was not only fulfilling his promise but also preventing more innocent deaths.

At this stage, with no one capable of threatening Huang Yiyi, she must not be provoked!

His plan was the most stable during this period.

As Lin Tianming was about to communicate with Hua Yufei on how best to handle Huang Yiyi, her words made Huang Yiyi lose control again.

"Capture... capture me? Control me... even... even take necessary measures against me?"

Black mist erupted in response to her emotions, making this the most severe emotional outburst since Lin Tianming met her today, nearly matching last night.

Hua Yufei, seeing this, frowned, "Junior Tianming, be careful. Move behind me, I’ll protect you!"

"Don’t be hasty, Senior Hua. Let me talk to her first. I can calm her down!"

Lin Tianming had anticipated this scenario when calling Hua Yufei, immediately grabbing Huang Yiyi’s arm.

"Calm down, Yiyi! You don’t want your black mist to harm innocent people, right?"

"You lied to me!"

Huang Yiyi had completely lost control, feeling betrayed.

She thought Lin Tianming truly accepted her as a friend, not seeing her as a monster.

In the end, he still saw her as a bringer of misfortune.

Everything he did was to stabilize her until Hua Yufei arrived to capture and imprison her.

They might even kill her!

Lin Tianming indeed lied, but it was to keep her emotions stable to prevent harm to innocents. His promises to Huang Yiyi were genuine.

"Yiyi, I’m sorry. I admit I approached you initially to stabilize you, but it was for your good. I promise, Senior Hua and I won’t imprison you. We just want to ensure you’re safe and free, not captured by the Yellow Clothes Church and those monsters."

However, Lin Tianming's explanation only made Huang Yiyi distrust him more.

"Liar! I won’t believe you anymore!"

As she spoke, the black mist around her grew thicker, engulfing the entire street.

Hua Yufei, overwhelmed by the mist more sinister than demonic energy, coughed up blood.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming immediately used the Ascension Light to protect Hua Yufei.

"Stop it, Yiyi! Trust me, I’ll help you! I never saw you as a monster!"

"Don’t come closer! You... you’re all the same... just want to capture me and force me to do what I don’t want to do!"

In a panic, Huang Yiyi screamed and started to run away.

At the same time, the same holy golden light from last night appeared around her.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming’s eyes turned serious.

If she escaped again like last night, transforming into the beautiful Saint Golden Butterfly and disappearing, it would be almost impossible to encounter her by chance like tonight.

Then, if the Yellow Clothes Church and monsters found her first and used her to unlock the Demon Tomb seal, it would likely be opened ahead of time!

With the seal opened and divine-level monsters emerging early, without god-level awakeners to protect humanity, it would be a disaster.

Now, what could he do to regain her trust and make her stay?
