They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 549 Extra (14): The Moon Hunter Sealed in His Most Painful Moment
The Moon Hunter attacked March 7th first because he could sense that the power to peer into his memories originated from March 7th.

Moreover, during the last battle, the Moon Hunter remembered that this pink-haired little girl was not part of the main attack force, but was responsible for manipulating a strange kind of ice to protect the others.

For the Moon Hunters, March 7th was just a change of attire and a slight shift in demeanor.

It can only be said that the Moon Hunters are no longer the calm and analytical agents they were before being affected by the Abyss.

Furthermore, the essence of the power of the Long Night Moon is ultimately oblivion, and the power of the mysterious destiny is inherently secretive.

Even if March 7th uses his memories of destiny to drive his power, it is not something that someone who has no understanding of destiny energy can see through.

So, the Moon Hunters thought they had picked an easy target, but in reality, they had picked a powerful nemesis.

In the memory-like environment, the Moon Hunters are like hunting dogs running in the sea and fighting sharks.

Even if the Moon Hunter is the Celestial Hound, the seventh day of the third lunar month is also Mazu.

Moreover, March 7th was not fighting alone; she had Demogue, who was very skilled at manipulating memory, by her side.

As soon as the Moon Hunter thrust his spear forward, he immediately sensed something was amiss.

In the hunters' perception and vision, March 7th seemed to recede further and further away with their sprint.

Moreover, the girl did not jump back, but looked at him curiously.

From Lauma's perspective, just as the Moon Hunters raised their spears, Demug suddenly grabbed something as if it were a curtain, and space itself distorted in his hand.

Then, with a forceful pull towards the Moon Hunter, the Moon Hunter and the space around him were instantly flung into a long strip, like stretched clay.

The Moon Hunter charged through the long strip, while the distorted and elongated space rapidly recovered.

Once the Moon Hunter sensed something was wrong and slammed on the brakes, the space returned to normal.

After the Moon Hunter regained his footing, he could sense that everything that had just happened was done by the pink-haired girl next to him.

So, he muttered to himself, "Why is it pink hair again? Are they sisters?", then nervously pointed his gun at Demogue and asked.

What did you just do?

Seeing that the Moon Hunters had turned their attention to him, Demuge smiled sweetly, then leaned forward slightly with his hands behind his back and teased them.
"Oh dear, it's impolite to point a blood-red spear at a beautiful girl and ask her questions~~"

Then, she turned and winked at Xing, and said...

"Partner, I'm going to use all my strength now, hang in there!"

After saying that, Demuge instantly flashed pink light and transformed into her adult female form.

With a flick of her small hand, the world instantly turned upside down.

The memories of the Moon Hunters are not shaped by data like those of Onpharos.

The Moon Hunters themselves cannot manipulate memory matter.

This directly resulted in the complete control of this memory space falling into the hands of the Demuse singer, who was now at full power.

After the world turned upside down, Lauma and the others, who couldn't fly or control their memories, fell directly from the sky.

In the realm of memory, cognition determines one's state.

When the ground became the sky, the Teyvats, including the Moonhunters, could not instantly change their perception, even of stars or the seventh day of the third month.

Fortunately, after Demuse reversed the heavens and earth, he immediately summoned his "true self," and a giant Demuse, a version of the Heaven and Earth, appeared in the air.

Lauma and the others were caught and placed in the hands of the giant Demugg, while Xing was placed in the crevice between her chest and body.

As for the Moon Hunter, before he could even adjust to the extreme visual disorientation of the inverted world, he found himself surrounded by countless red jellyfish.

However, just when the Moon Hunter thought he would be blown to pieces by these jellyfish again, he discovered that this time the jellyfish did not self-destruct, but instead sprayed a strange "water column" at him with great impact.

The Moon Hunter was caught off guard by this unexpected move and was instantly disoriented, falling straight into the sky.

However, at that very moment, Demuse restored the world to its original state.

The Moon Hunter, who had intended to use free fall to mitigate the impact and create distance, crashed heavily to the ground, instantly kicking up dust several meters high.

The Moon Hunter's body naturally turned into a pile of minced meat.

Unfortunately, the Moon Hunter's physical body is no longer important. He's like a Gundam model; even if he's shattered into pieces, the power of the abyss can piece him back together.

So, the next second, the combo was activated.

Yakoda, enveloped in gusts of wind and carrying the Hururut Secret Bottle, instantly rushed to the side of the resurrecting Moon Hunter under the protection of wind elemental power.

She shouted excitedly.
"This feels amazing! After being touched by the giantess Demugg, I feel like I have boundless power!!"

As she spoke, Yakoda shoved the bottle into the body of the Moon Hunter who was reshaping his body, and then kicked him away with a kick infused with wind element.

After finishing, Yakoda also took the spear that the Moon Hunter had dropped to the side and slipped away.

The wind element in Teyvat is a part of the light-elemental force, so it can naturally counteract the power of the abyss to some extent.

Therefore, Yakoda's Hururu Secret Bottle was not directly swallowed by the power of the abyss, but instead, it used wind element to push the kicked Moon Hunter back into the air.

The Moon Hunter had now completed the reshaping of his body.

However, just as he was about to rush down to confront Yakoda and reclaim his weapon, Nefer's sinister voice suddenly appeared in the Moon Hunter's ears.
"What do you want to do to my dearest employee?"

The Moon Hunter only had time to slightly raise his head when he heard the sound, and a long, snow-white leg wrapped in grass elemental energy grew larger and larger in his vision.

Then, Nefer's high heels, which were enough to be used as murder weapons, slashed down and struck the Moon Hunter's face.

The Moon Hunter's skin was clearly no match for Nefer's killer high heels; his bandaged face instantly twisted and caved in, and he was trampled underfoot.

Moreover, during the fall, Nefer's two grass elemental clones also came to add two more kicks.

Nefer knew men's weaknesses very well, and these two kicks targeted the kidneys and a common vulnerability in men.

Even the Moon Hunters, who had suffered excruciating pain from being shattered to pieces, couldn't help but hiss as they kicked those two kicks.

However, when he landed, he found both good and bad news.

The good news is that the ground had somehow turned into a soft, shallow swamp, so the fall didn't cause much damage.

The bad news is that Lauma, who hasn't made a move yet, is constantly spreading grass elementals in this small swamp, and now the whole place is a grassland core.

The next second, a bolt of lightning that caused almost no direct damage was struck by Demuse and sent into the swamp.

The super-bloom reaction was instantly triggered, and the grassland core activated by Demuse instantly transformed into countless homing missiles, bombarding the Moon Hunters who were stuck in the swamp.

Seeing this, Lauma withdrew from the swamp and joined up with Nefer and Yakoda.

Yakoda asked Nefer, looking at the Moon Hunter who had been blasted away by the grass elemental and was no longer visible.

"Boss, Sister Demuge said that her power cannot effectively counteract the power of the abyss, so let us try to see if elemental power can slow down the resurrection of the Moon Hunters."

Now, with this explosion, the Moon Hunters should be killed too.

Yakoda takes an optimistic view of the problem.

However, reality is often less optimistic.

As soon as Yakoda finished speaking, and the super-explosive grassland core had just finished bombarding, a terrifying abyssal power burst through the smoke and dust, instantly forcing everyone back. Abyssal power is, after all, a variant of void power, and the Teyvats, protected by the elemental power derived from the Light Sphere, dared not approach.

People like Xing and Sanyueqi, who don't have targeted energy protection, have always stayed far away.

The reason is simple: it's not that elemental power is stronger than destiny energy.

However, in specific environments, targeted measures are sometimes more effective.

To use an imperfect analogy, in a fire, which person is more likely to survive: someone in full steel armor or someone in full ice armor?

Steel armor is definitely more defensive than ice armor, and steel armor cannot be burned through unless the temperature in a fire reaches its melting point.

Unfortunately, the armored suit was fine, but the person inside, if their clothes weren't heat-insulating, would probably die within minutes.

If someone were to wear ice armor, although the ice armor's defensive capabilities are not as good as steel armor, the ice would still be melted by fire.

But a person will not die until all the ice melts; they can still move, unlike those wearing steel armor who can't move after taking a few steps.

At this moment, the Moon Hunter unleashed his abyssal power, enraged by the continuous attacks.

However, although people dare not approach on March 7th, the jellyfish can still get close.

After all, this thing is only meant to self-destruct when it gets close, and even if it is somewhat corroded by the void, it will not affect the power of the self-destruction.

Thus, the Moon Hunter's dominance lasted less than a second before being disrupted once again by the continuous self-destruction of the Memory Jellyfish, and his body was probably blown to pieces again.

But the Moon Hunters can't be killed like that.

After launching the attack on March 7th, he decisively joined up with Demugg and the others, and said...
“Demuge, this won’t work. We can’t kill the Moon Hunters here.”

Even using the power of forgetting, at most he can only forget a portion of his memories.

After saying "March 7th," Xing also raised his hand and said...

"Mimi, I can't hold on any longer. My memory life force is almost completely drained."

When Xing said this, he had the expression of a man who had been completely drained and was now leaning against the wall to get out.

However, this time Xing wasn't joking; she genuinely couldn't take it anymore.

After Demogue left Onpharos, without the support of the scepter, all the power of her memories that she could freely use came from the stars.

However, Xing's memory and destiny power are limited. When she transforms into an adult woman and fights at full strength, Demogue's transformation duration is comparable to that of Ultraman.

Moreover, Ultraman also has a "start from the heart" mode, which allows him to stand up again even when the lights are off.

Demuse doesn't have this kind of pattern. Once Xing's memory destiny energy is drained, she will directly return to Xing's body to sleep until the memory destiny energy is restored to a level sufficient to maintain Mimi's activities.

Therefore, after sensing the remaining energy within the star, Demogue instantly reverted to his Mimi form to reduce the star's energy consumption.

Then, she said helplessly.

"I can't unleash my full fighting power in this form, so let's leave this dream."

However, by manipulating this memory, I can temporarily seal the Moon Hunter.

He could only escape by using the power of nothingness to erode the entire space of memory.

When Demuse said that, Nefer immediately replied...

"In that case, let's leave it at that. We understand that the Moon Hunters have already achieved their past goals."

Eliminating the Lunarians here was never our objective.

After Nefer finished speaking, Mimi immediately started operating the system.

The next second, everyone felt a flash of pink light in front of them, and then everyone's consciousness returned to the Secret Chamber.

Everything was just as it had been before Nefertari cast her spell; the magnificent emerald box still sat quietly on the table.

However, the Teyvats who watched the Moon Hunters' memories in one go felt as if they had been transported to another world.

After regaining her senses, Nefer looked at her emerald box, examined it, and then exclaimed in surprise.
"This box is completely undamaged, and I can't sense any presence from the Moon Hunters... So, the seal failed?"

"This is what Nefer asked," Mimi said after sitting down on Xing's shoulder.
"No, the seal was successful."

Since I took over the reading of memories using the power of March 7th, the subsequent memory displays have nothing to do with this box.

Now, the Moon Hunters should be trapped in their own memories.

He is in a physical body now and should be unable to move.

However, sealed within his most painful memories, he can only relive those memories until he regains his freedom.

"Everyone, get ready. Once the Moon Hunter breaks free, he'll be even more insane."

After explaining, Mimi yawned because Xing was short of energy, and said to Xing...

"Friend, I'm a little tired, I'm going to rest for a bit."

After saying that, a flash of pink light appeared, and Mimi disappeared. It's estimated that she won't reappear until the Star Memory Destiny Energy has fully recovered.

Seeing that Mimi had gone to rest, and Nefer had begun examining her box, Lauma suggested...

"We already know the past information about the Moon Hunters. Let's go to the secret base and meet up with the others."

Upon hearing this, Nefer replied without even looking up.

"You guys go back and meet up first. I need to savor the feeling that my memories and destiny gave me."

Anyway, it doesn't take that many people to inform others.

By the way, Yakoda isn't going with you either.

The Moon Hunters are more difficult to deal with than we imagined. I need Yakoda to run errands for me, to find more trump cards and helpers.

Nefer's words made sense, and Lauma knew that Nefer wasn't discussing things with her, but rather informing her.

There is no reward for defeating the Moon Hunters.

Lauma, who hadn't fully understood Nefer, thought that while Nefer wouldn't slack off after being taken advantage of, she shouldn't be expected to be in a good mood.

So Rauma didn't say much, and left with Hoshi and March 7.

After the three left, Nefertari's eyes narrowed, and she spoke to Akoda while deep in thought.
"Yakoda, go find that black marketeer who sold you the treasure-hunting compass at a high price a while ago, and bring her here as soon as possible."

Upon learning that the Moon Hunters were temporarily sealed away and would not attack her, Yakoda seemed somewhat relieved, and she reflexively replied...

"The boss is just joking again. How could she be a black marketeer? She appeared when I was completely disoriented and sold me some wonderful gadgets that would come in handy. What a kind person!"

However, when Yakoda looked up after speaking, she only saw Nefer lower her eyebrows, a smile on her lips, and staring at her.

Yakoda's hair stood on end instantly, as if a small animal had sensed the presence of a natural enemy.

The next second, Yakoda sprinted out the door, leaving behind a single sentence.
"Boss, I know who you're talking about. Wait a moment, I'll be right back!"
