There might still be a glimmer of hope for his two younger sisters.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Battfia, the squirrel girl. You arrived here before me. Are you also searching for someone?"
"Have you seen two girls who are just slightly less pretty than I am?"
"Uh..."
Everyone was speechless, thinking that this was an overly vague description. Then, almost in unison, they all turned to look at Roma, who was still writing in her diary.
At this moment, Roma noticed the commotion and finally tore herself away from her writing. Seeing everyone's gazes, she suddenly understood and said:
"Oh... I forgot about that."
She turned toward the squirrel maiden and apologized, "Sorry, sorry... but I must remind you to prepare for the worst."
Swoosh!
A large, golden magic book appeared, floating in the air.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Countless golden light particles flew out from the rapidly flipping pages.
The particles landed on the ground, transforming into young maidens of remarkable beauty.
The maidens collapsed onto the ground, looking exhausted. Their eyes revealed determination and despair, and their bodies were covered in bloodstains and wounds.
Just as Battfia was about to rush to one of the girls, a voice shouted:
"Wait!"
Everyone turned and saw that it was Little Bone, now transformed into a blonde, shoulder-length-haired girl, who had called out.
It was rare for Litlle Bone to speak with such righteousness, but under the group's gaze, she shrank back timidly and said softly,
"I just wanted to say... earlier, that pitch-black Venom left a faint black mark on these girls' foreheads."
"Could it have some purpose? Shouldn't we check it out first?"
"Hmm, Little Bone has a point," someone agreed.
Hearing this, Roma nodded. She reached into the void and pulled out a glass vial containing golden liquid.
Shaking it clockwise 4.5 times at a steady pace, she explained, "This is the 'Golden Light Spirit Purge Spell.' It's highly effective against invasive entities of foreign consciousness."
"But as for something like Venom, I haven't tested it before, so I can't guarantee its efficacy."
Bang!
Suddenly, golden droplets burst from the vial, shooting swiftly toward the foreheads of the fallen maidens. The light flickered and disappeared.
Battfia, watching anxiously, felt her heart tighten.
After a moment, wisps of blue smoke slowly emerged from the crown of each girl's head, dissipating into the air.
"Done," Roma announced.
Roma watched the scene unfold and calmly made a note of the entire process in her journal with her magical pen.
As she finished, a series of green virtual screens resembling synchronized MRI imaging suddenly appeared over each girl's head.
The screens displayed the flow of cerebral fluids within their brains, projected in real-time.
Streams of green data flickered rapidly across the screens. Then, the green light transformed into data streams and flowed directly into Skynet's mind.
He spoke slowly, "Hmm, no suspicious substances detected."
Hearing their confident declarations, Battfia rushed toward a girl dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono. She carefully inspected the girl's injuries.
The Japanese girl's face remained cold and stern, her eyes still harboring traces of unyielding killing intent. She spoke softly,
"Sister, I'm fine... I only killed someone, that's all..."
Everyone froze at her words, a chill running through their hearts. But they felt helpless, understanding that extreme fear often triggered a protective numbness in the brain.
Moreover, these girls were no more than top-level beings of the fifth dimension. Even if they pooled all their strength, they couldn't possibly contend with the seventh-dimensional Venom, whose resilience was beyond their comprehension.
The girl's expression suddenly softened. Her voice trembled, and she stammered as she cried,
"Sister... I'm sorry... Flare... she was killed right in front of me."
"I couldn't protect her..."
"It's my fault... It's all my fault for not protecting you both properly."
The two sisters embraced each other tightly, crying uncontrollably.
A wave of sorrow spread through the group, infecting everyone present. Even Yasbeth, who had just been revived and returned to her own body, felt the grief and softly wept along with them.
Zane's heart sank. He looked at the group of girls, shrouded in fear and sadness, sensing that something was amiss.
But he couldn't pinpoint what it was.
After all, when Roma cast the *Golden Spirit Purge Spell*, Zane had already used his [Mangekyo Sharingan] to meticulously examine the physical conditions of all the rescued girls.
Like Skynet, he had found no trace of Venom remaining after the spell's activation.
Furthermore, the so-called "Progenitor Venom" of this ultimate universe had already been destroyed by Zane himself using the death laws of the Omniversal Realm.
Thus, there shouldn't be any reason to worry about Venom here.
The only lingering concern was the *Scarlet Witch* recklessly rescued by "Quicksilver." That might lead to unforeseen events in the future.
