I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

"Therefore, everyone here should also be reacting to the Honkai."

"The chat group system notified us that a small portion of the Honkai antibodies have just been generated," Zhongli said calmly, his gaze fixed on Accelerator standing in the distance.

"That's right." Fu Hua also looked in the direction of Accelerator. Accelerator's rampage had just attracted many of the zombies and Honkai Beasts in the city.

A massive amount of Honkai energy, accompanied by billowing dust, was hurtling towards the location of Accelerator.

“Before you came, I used my points to ask the system in the chat group a question. The answer I received was that, as worlds that grow on different Imaginary Trees, the creatures within them have a natural resistance to Honkai. So, if the system isn’t lying, you don’t need to worry about being infected by Honkai at all.”

Fu Hua's explanation visibly relieved Subaru and Bell.

Zhongli frowned again.

"coming!"

He raised his voice slightly to remind the others.

Following his directions, everyone looked in the direction of Accelerator.

Then they saw an army that stretched as far as the eye could see, appearing not far away.

Just one glance at it is enough to give you a feeling of suffocation.

Various enormous Honkai Beasts, accompanied by a dense swarm of Honkai Servants, surged like a tide.

Fu Hua looked around and nodded in satisfaction.

"At least a third of the Honkai Beasts and Death Warriors in Changkong City have been attracted here. Arrogant people are still somewhat useful."

"Mr. Zhongli, and Ms. Lingmeng, would you like to come along?"

Fu Hua extended an invitation.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "Having accepted the mission and entered into a contract, fairness has been established, and it must naturally be upheld."

Reimu Hakurei, on the other hand, spoke through her actions.

She suddenly leaped up, her figure like a swift soaring into the sky, moving nimbly through the air.

The yin-yang jade that was originally tied to the end of her hair also grew larger in the wind, flying around her.

Sometime during the day, a sacred scepter commonly used by Shinto priests appeared in her hand, shimmering with a white light.

"Then I'll go too." Fu Hua smiled slightly, then stomped the ground and charged towards the Honkai army.

Zhongli, however, did not make any move.

He looked at Bell, who was eager to try, and Subaru, who looked dazed and clearly scared.

He smiled gently: "Subaru Natsuki, before we came to this world, I made a promise to you that I would protect you. So, there's no need to worry too much. As for Bell, I also promised you before that I would give you martial arts instruction, so we can do that together this time."

"Come with me."

Zhongli didn't make many moves, but lightly stepped on the ground that had been reduced to ruins.

Rumble!

A series of rocky steps rose automatically from beneath their feet, then transformed into waves like ocean water, carrying them forward on their own.

Before long, Subaru and Bell arrived at the edge of the main battlefield.

Several Deadpools noticed their movements and slowly walked towards the three of them.

Zhongli clapped his hands lightly.

Several massive rock walls suddenly rose from the ground, separating and isolating Deadpool within.

Zhongli looked at Bell and Subaru, who had been somewhat dumbfounded since the beginning, and gently called out twice to attract their attention.

"I divided the room into two sections with rocks. The one on the left is Subaru's room, which only has one monster. You can safely train your combat skills there, and I will come to your aid if you encounter any danger."

"As for Bell, the one on the right is yours. There are three Deadpools inside. I think you should be able to handle them. As long as you unleash your full power, I will naturally teach you during and after the battle."

"Alright, you two, let's begin."

Chapter Sixteen: Changkong City (Part 2)

"Mei~~! Wait for me!"

A girl with a full head of silver hair runs in the sunlight.

She was wearing a typical school uniform common in Changkong City, holding a dented metal baseball bat in one hand and a pistol in the other.

Her face was exquisite, with a gentle and warm expression between her brows, but somehow she also had a touch of silliness.

"Kiana, stop."

The girl being chased by the silver-haired Kiana is also a young girl.

She was wearing a dark-colored short school uniform, her beautiful long hair was tied in a ponytail behind her, and a not-so-long Japanese katana was hanging at her waist.

He had a capable and confident demeanor.

Two youthful bodies gleamed with a tight, white light in the sunlight.

On this land that has been reduced to ruins, the girl's figure is like a vibrant flower, adding a touch of color to the gray and black world.

"What's wrong?" Kiana stopped abruptly at Mei's command, looking around nervously. "Are there assassins? Or Honkai Beasts?"

"That's strange, but I didn't sense any assassins or Honkai Beasts either." Mei looked around curiously.

In the silent streets, the place where the assassins should have been stationed was empty.

"Kiana, don't you think something's a little off?"

"What's wrong?" Kiana opened her eyes wide and looked at Mei with a somewhat blank expression. "Is something the problem?"

"No, it's not a matter of whether it's right or wrong. Haven't you noticed anything different about your surroundings?" Mei continued, trying to get her companion's brain into a thinking state.

"Huh?" Kiana peeked around and asked, "Is there... anything different from the path we've taken before?"

"Ouch!"

Mei couldn't help but lower her head and cover her forehead, letting out a soft sigh: "I really shouldn't have had such high expectations. Look, there isn't a single zombie or Honkai Beast around here. Isn't that strange?"

"Huh? It seems to be true!" Kiana exclaimed in surprise, belatedly realizing, "Could it be that we've killed too many recently, finally reducing their numbers? Or have those assassins finally realized how terrifying we are?"

Kiana, increasingly convinced of her own reasoning, even straightened up and patted her prominent chest, saying, "Just as I thought."

"Impossible." Mei rejected it without hesitation, not letting the idea live for even a second: "Leaving aside the assassins, the Honkai Beasts formed from Honkai energy have a greater desire to destroy the living than they care about their own deaths. It's impossible that they won't dare to come after us just because we've killed some."

"Then Mei, what do you think happened?" Kiana asked, her face full of questions.

"I don't know, but..." Mei hadn't finished speaking.

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, and a streak of seven-colored light descended from the sky into the city's steel jungle, some distance from their location.

Then came the second loud bang.

"Is this someone else? The government? The mecha organization I met a while ago?" Mei was stunned.

"I don't know." Kiana flipped over and jumped onto a relatively intact three-story building by the roadside, then tiptoed towards the direction from which the sound came.

"Wow!" she exclaimed.

"What's wrong??" Mei asked anxiously. "Are you hurt?"

"No, there are definitely people over there, and tons of them are suicide soldiers and Honkai Beasts." Kiana leaped down, excitedly hugging Mei's shoulders, her face suddenly drawing closer, almost touching Mei's: "Let's meet up and escape Changkong City together!"

"Hmm!" Raiden Mei was also very excited, but she wasn't stupid. She continued to ask, "Where are they? How long will it take us to get there?"

"Hmm, the other side of the city. At our previous pace, it'll probably take a few days," Kiana chuckled sheepishly.

Raiden Mei sighed, "Oh well! Never mind then. We only need a few days to escape Changkong City, and it's definitely not good to take a detour now. Let's just leave it at that, and see you again someday."

"Yes, I have a feeling we'll definitely meet those people in the future."

For some reason, Kiana suddenly made such a confident statement.

"Okay, let's make the most of the time they've gained and move forward quickly. Our goal for today is to advance one kilometer! Go, Kiana, forward!"

"Wait for me, and be careful. Although there aren't many assassins left, we still need to be careful."

......

"Untitled---The Mysterious Shrine Maiden Who Flies Through the Sky".

Accompanied by a crisp sound.

Countless red and white light bullets filled the sky.

Thousands, tens of thousands.

Completely without blind spots, without any purpose.

After pausing for less than a second, these light projectiles rapidly descended towards the ground.

This was not a targeted barrage attack, but a saturation bombardment with no indiscriminate blind spots.

Boom boom boom boom!

Explosions rang out one after another, drowning out all other sounds.

Even the figure of Accelerator, who was standing on the ground above a mass of ultra-high-temperature plasma and constantly shooting out high-temperature plasma beams, was overshadowed.

The fragile novice assassins simply could not survive such an attack.

Almost immediately upon meeting, they were completely worn down by Accelerator and Reimu Hakurei's skillfully coordinated attacks.

Even the secondary mutants of those assassins, the elite assassins who connected with Honkai energy and gained some Honkai power, and the huge Honkai beasts were almost unable to stand firm against such an attack.

"Reopen! Noble Phantasm [Yin Yang Demon God Orb]"

Reimu Hakurei's clear voice once again resounded through the sky, and the Yin-Yang Jewel surrounding her petite figure in the sky began to expand rapidly.

In less than a second, the Yin-Yang Jade had reached a diameter of nearly 100 meters.

"Points!! All my points!!"

As the seemingly innocent shrine maiden uttered her bizarre and absurd words, the enormous Yin-Yang Jewel crashed down.

Boom!

A huge, muffled sound reverberated in all directions, and a massive storm spread around the Yin-Yang Jade.

Countless rocks flew up, and dust billowed into the sky.
