God Invasion: It's awesome to save the world with five problematic girls!-Chapter 1154 - 333: A Step Away

"Huff huff huff..."

As the scene before him brightened, the first thing Yan Huan felt was the eye-stinging wind from free-falling from high altitude.

He squinted his eyes and took a glance at the scene below.

Below, there was an endless field of pink flowers.

Besides the flower field, it was incredibly quiet, with nothing else in sight.

But this height...

Is he really going to fall straight down like this?

It wasn't the first time Yan Huan experienced the feeling of free fall; he and An Le had fallen freely from Skytree before.

"Meow-chan!"

Feeling his speed increasing, Yan Huan gritted his teeth and hastily called out for Meow-chan.

"I don't have the fragment, I can't transform to help you, meow!!"

But on his shoulder, Meow-chan looked anxious, saying this to him.

"..."

Yan Huan gritted his teeth, his face briefly turning pale.

"Ugh..."

Just then, amidst the chaotic wind, Yan Huan suddenly heard the voice of Sakuragi next to him.

Turning his head to the side, he saw Sakuragi in a red dress, unconscious, falling toward the ground with him.

"Sakuragi!!"

Yan Huan called out to her, but she remained with her eyes closed, completely unresponsive.

"..."

Seeing this, Yan Huan turned his gaze back to the flower field that was getting closer and closer.

The next second, he reached out to grab Sakuragi Hitomi nearby, attempting to hold her small figure tightly in his arms.

"Huff huff huff..."

The boundless gale blew Yan Huan's hair and clothes into disarray, making it impossible for him to steady himself.

"Ugh!"

But at the last moment, Yan Huan gritted his teeth and managed to gently grab Sakuragi and pull her into his embrace.

As he completed the action, the next moment, he hit the ground hard.

"Boom!!"

A dull thud sounded as the soft soil was smashed, releasing clouds of pink dust.

The pink petals eerily floated up like dandelions, only to gently drift back onto the flowers the next second.

Meanwhile, on the ground, the unconscious Sakuragi rolled several meters away unharmed.

"Yan Huan, are you okay?!"

Only Yan Huan lay on the ground, clutching his chest, coughing continuously.

"Puh!"

Faced with Meow-chan's inquiry, Yan Huan coughed and shook his head.

But the next second, he spat out a mouthful of saliva with traces of blood.

He didn't know where he was bleeding from, but his whole body was in severe pain.

"Meow～"

Meow-chan ran back and forth within the flower field, scrutinizing his condition.

But Yan Huan merely glanced at the unconscious Sakuragi lying in the flower field before raising his gaze to examine the surroundings.

This barrier, unexpectedly, wasn't indoors.

On the ground lay an endless, empty, and silent pink flower field.

The place was remarkably bright and peaceful, as if it were the perfect temperature on a summer afternoon, making one feel utterly at ease.

But...

Where is Hitomi?

Yan Huan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and clutched his chest as he unsteadily rose to his feet.

His suit was in shambles, covered in dirt, and faintly visible beneath the torn jacket was a pink shirt.

"..."

Loosening his tie, he was about to call out for Hitomi when Meow-chan suddenly prompted, 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Yan Huan, look, meow!"

"?"

He looked down at Meow-chan, who was looking up to the sky.

Following its gaze, Yan Huan saw a sight he would rarely encounter in his lifetime.

The sky wasn't blue with white clouds...

Instead, countless tightly shut doors were stacked together.

The doors varied in color, size, and type, yet they were all aligned on the same plane, arranged irregularly, occupying the entire sky without leaving any gaps for Yan Huan to see through.

Even though the sky was filled with "doors," the space below wasn't eerily dark but rather bright.

It was as if the sunlight defied the laws of physics, penetrating the sky and illuminating the earth.

Compared to the endless silent flower field below, for some reason, Yan Huan was certain:

Hitomi is behind one of those doors up there.

"..."

Realizing this, Yan Huan pressed his lips together and clutched his hand, slowly moving to find a path to ascend.

"Sss...sss..."

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.

Behind him, the unconscious Sakuragi on the ground was awakened.

She opened her eyes from the trance of hypnosis and looked at the flower field before her, dazed for a moment.

But the next instant, she realized where she was, her eyes narrowing sharply as she sat up.

She waved her slender hand, hurriedly opening an interface.

Inside, a high table banquet caught in darkness was revealed.

Although the time flow inside and outside had been drastically adjusted by Sakuragi.

At this moment, the scene inside was akin to a time restaurant.

Yet, in that brief moment, through the darkness, she saw the shock and panic of the others witnessing the catastrophic power outage.

"No... no!!"

Her eyes widened, turning red in an instant.

Sakuragi clutched her chest as if feeling a stabbing heartache, lowering her head unconsciously.

The high table banquet...

It was destroyed...

"Why... why, President..."

As she raised her eyes, she saw Yan Huan's departing figure, seemingly searching for something.

She bit her lip and finally gathered the courage to ask.

Upon hearing it, Yan Huan stopped but didn't turn back.

He took a deep breath and softly said,

"It's over, Sakuragi."

"Why... why must you find Hitomi?! This place is so vast; how long do you think it will take you?!"
