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

All the broken monsters in the entire Changkong City vanished without a trace along with the disappearance of the rock cage.

*Slap slap!*

Zhongli clapped his hands lightly and nodded slightly to the people who were looking over.

"The mission in Changkong City is complete. We can go home now."

Chapter Twenty: Epilogue

Natsuki Subaru no longer remembers how he returned to his original world.

He was so engrossed in the dreamlike golden light that he could not extricate himself.

This was the first time I'd ever learned just how far true immortals and deities could go.

Such an existence...

"Subaru~~"

"Subaru~~"

Emilia's clear voice brought Subaru Natsuki back to his senses.

"Subaru-kun, what happened today?"

"It's nothing," Natsuki Subaru quickly shook his head.

The time-based differentiation service provided by the chat group meant he didn't have to worry about his sudden appearances and disappearances arousing suspicion, and his physical condition could be restored by the chat group's system through points.

However, people who know and care about a person can definitely tell whether they are in a good or bad state.

"You don't look well. Is there anything you can tell me?" Emilia's sweet face moved a little closer, and her concern was not unfounded.

“Some good things happened.” Natsuki Subaru quickly forced a smile. “And I’ve figured out a few things.”

Emilia took two steps back, looked Natsuki Subaru up and down, and then nodded her cute little head affirmatively: "Subaru-kun seems to have encountered something good. It's wonderful that you're happy."

"These past few days I've felt that Subaru has been a bit preoccupied, and I was worried that you might not be adjusting well to life at the Roswaal's house."

"Cheer up, comrade. As Emilia's most beloved comrade, you can't let her worry."

The old-fashioned Puck floated over to Subaru's side and patted him on the shoulder.

Natsuki Subaru's expression shifted, and he was about to reflexively move his body, but his brain reacted in the next instant, and he immediately stopped moving.

Parker seemed to notice this and frowned slightly.

Emilia, standing to the side, smiled faintly and said, "Really, Parker. And Subaru, if you encounter any difficulties, please come to me for advice. I will do my best to help you."

"Well then, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After speaking, she raised her hand and waved gently at Subaru Natsuki, then stepped past him and walked deeper into the mansion.

Parker, who was floating on her shoulder, gave him a meaningful look before turning away.

"Whew!"

Only after Emilia's figure disappeared down the corridor did Natsuki Subaru slowly exhale a long breath.

He gently patted his cheeks to encourage himself.

"Cheer up! Don't worry Emilia, Natsuki Subaru!"

......

In the spacious hall, a huge screen was displaying information about Changkong City.

Golden particles filled the entire city in the scene, and all the Honkai-related products were destroyed within seconds.

This footage, captured by a drone from afar, is breathtaking even when viewed on a screen.

A handsome man with long blond hair, dressed in a British-style suit, is standing in front of the screen with a serious expression and a furrowed brow.

What's going on with Changkong City?

Beside him was Fu Hua, who had changed back into her navy blue training clothes.

"do not know."

Fu Hua slowly shook her head, her words concise and to the point.

“At that time, you should have been in Changkong City, right?” Otto turned around and looked at her.

Fu Hua responded, "I was in the southwest corner fighting off the assassins and searching for the Herrschers that might have been formed by this Honkai. I noticed this situation at the time, but I didn't have time to react."

Otto scrutinized her carefully for a moment, then snorted and turned his attention back to the screen.

The incredibly clear drone camera captured his handsome face standing high in the sky with his hands behind his back, and also captured the scene where he completely annihilated hundreds of thousands of Honkai Beasts in the entire city with a flick of his wrist.

The more Otto looked, the more serious his expression became.

"Is this someone from Anti-Entropy?"

He didn't turn around, but asked directly.

“It shouldn’t be.” Fu Hua shook her head slightly: “This power to manipulate rocks is more like an application of Honkai energy than anti-entropy. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the person in front of us is the Herrscher of Rock.”

"Compared to the Second Herrscher, Sirin, do you think there's a difference?" Otto narrowed his eyes.

"I no longer have any extra memories to use Feather Dust," Fu Hua replied coldly.

"Oh~~" Otto gave a flippant "oh," crossed one arm over his chest, and rested his chin on his hand while deep in thought.

"A third-party force? Or is it...?"

He pondered for a long time without speaking. Fu Hua stood there with him, also motionless.

After a while, he suddenly smiled and revealed a sweet smile.

The image on the large screen in front of him changed accordingly.

Two young girls were embracing each other, looking up at the huge warship in the sky.

A lady with long, wine-red hair that seemed to be burning descended from the sky and landed in front of the two girls.

A charming voice came from the screen: "I am Major Himeko Murata of the Far East Branch of the Destiny Organization, Kiana Kaslana, and Raiden Mei. Hello..."

"Although there was an unexpected incident, things still went relatively smoothly." Otto stared at the young girls in the picture, his smile growing increasingly arrogant: "My lovely silver-haired kitten, you still ended up in my hands."

"All plans can begin now."

Fu Hua stared into Otto's eyes, her expression unchanged.

Before her, in a place Otto was destined never to see, the page of the Multiverse Chat Group kept flashing.

Whether powerful or weak, kind or charitable, whether disguised as evil, enlightened or seeking to protect loved ones, everyone speaks freely within its walls.

She didn't participate in the conversation, but instead opened a small icon in the upper left corner of the chat group with her mind.

[Question: How many points are needed for a comprehensive treatment of my body?]

【...】

[Under investigation]

[Judgment Failed]

[High-level privilege verification begins]

[Revising the judgment...]

[Answer: Using another 123,100 points will restore the user to their previous optimal physical condition.]

The user currently has 73,000 points remaining.

Satisfied, Fu Hua closed the chat group and recalled the scene she had witnessed during the day.

---That power has reached the pinnacle of a Herrscher.

---If he were willing to help, perhaps this era could truly escape the invasion of collapse, or even win the battle.

Chapter Twenty-One: Memories

This time, due to the changes in time and space, Zhongli managed to discern a slight detail.

This also clarified one thing.

That means the world where the Crimson Iris Immortal resides and his world are perhaps not that far apart.

At least when he went to the world where the "Sweet Angel" was located, although he could see some changes in space, he couldn't recognize the road.

As far as the eye could see into the depths of space, all that remained was chaos.

In the world where the Crimson Iris Immortal resides, he can vaguely see all the paths.

The road is not far; in fact, it's frighteningly close.

He had a gut feeling that if he went to the world of the Crimson Kite Immortal two or three more times, he would probably be able to figure out all the paths.

Then, without the system's help, he can travel between this world and the other world.

In a general sense, the spirit of exploration is the ladder of progress for intelligent life. This is certainly true for me as well.

After analyzing the opportunity that led to his actions, Zhongli used his mind to open the virtual chat group in front of him and sent his message.

.....

The Promising Future True Lord: Everyone, have you all safely returned to your original world?

Emilia is the cutest (Natsuki Subaru): It's arrived, thank you so much!

LV1 Bell: We've arrived.

Incurable villain (Accelerator): We've arrived, tch~~, I haven't had enough fun yet.

Reimu the Shrine Maiden: Lord Kanari, come to my shrine! I will dedicate all my efforts to you. If you just nod your head, Hakurei Shrine will become a shrine with gods, and we'll never be laughed at by that blue-and-white shrine maiden again. And let those two frogs and snakes see what a true god looks like.

The Promising Future True Lord: Hmm??

Reimu the Shrine Maiden: Lord Kanari, I am a shrine maiden, a messenger who communicates with the gods. Although I am not very competent—I haven't even communicated with the gods once since becoming a shrine maiden at the Hakurei Shrine—I can still tell.

Future Promising True Lord: Please don't discuss this kind of thing in the group. If you need anything, Witch, you can message me privately.

Emilia is the cutest (Natsuki Subaru): The True Lord God is the best!
