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

A hundred meters away from each other, they would be imbued with an extra vector by superpowers, and then these fruits of human slaughter would fall to who-knows-where as if undergoing Brownian motion.

In contrast to the wars in the sky, the battles on the ground are truly intense and exciting.

The small-caliber machine gun on the armored vehicle fired first.

The roar of the 25mm chain gun immediately rang out, and countless sparks flew out in all directions. The maximum rate of fire was increased to 500 rounds per minute, and the muzzle velocity could reach more than three times the speed of sound.

It can even penetrate 25mm thick homogeneous steel armor at a firing distance of 1000 meters or more, with a horizontal inclination of 30 degrees.

Any human being that comes into contact with a shell from this machine gun will have only one outcome.

That means being shot to pieces.

However, the actions of the "sexy prisoner" in front of them made all the soldiers present and those outside monitoring him gasp in shock.

Such terrifying machine gun bullets could only leave faint white marks on his body, like the slight scratches from a blunt object on an ordinary person.

This doesn't even qualify as a scar.

"Boys, let's have some fun!"

[Sexy Prisoner] flaunts his muscular, bronze physique, with cannonballs and bullets bouncing around him.

Boom!

He seemed annoyed that he was walking too slowly, so he suddenly stomped his foot, and the huge reaction force acted on his body, lifting him up.

Then it plummeted downwards again.

The ground shattered into pieces in an instant, and the armored vehicle that he had smashed right into was reduced to scrap metal.

"Whoosh!"

Then the sound of an anti-tank gun rang out, but [Sexy Prisoner] ignored it and swung his well-trained fist at the shell.

Boom!

The violent explosion engulfed him, and scorching flames and shrapnel from the shell scraped against his body.

However, even so, it was almost equivalent to being hit head-on by an anti-tank gun.

There was only a minor scratch on his body and muscles.

But even the wound disappeared completely in an instant, as if it had never been injured at all.

Upon noticing this, some soldiers inside the armored vehicle continued firing like madmen, while others were already filled with fear.

Even though they are supposedly an army specifically designed to deal with superpowered individuals, they have never actually fought against such terrifying superpowered individuals.

Meanwhile, the committee members watching the live broadcast from the rear were also thrown into a panic for the first time.

"Damn it, where did such a powerful superhuman come from?!"

Watching the two men on the big screen physically confront armored vehicles and casually destroy armed helicopters, all the committee members were shocked.

People who considered themselves important started talking amongst themselves.

"That idiot Hegang, didn't he say everything was going according to plan?"

"What if the entire stationed superpower response force is wiped out? Are there any backup plans?"

"There's also the Superpower Response Team and the X Team, and that new toy from Hegang."

"No, these two squads can't even be considered backup plans; they're just supplementary options. Do you really think these two squads can handle these two guys?"

"What about that new toy from Hegang? Wasn't it supposed to be able to erase superpowers at will?"

“That’s something we could try, but I think it would be difficult. That guy has mental issues and doesn’t seem to listen to Hegang much, plus it’s hard to get in touch with him now.”

"Damn it! We shouldn't have let those superpowered beings into the island. If they were on a small island, we could have solved the problem with carpet bombing."

"No... what you're talking about, perhaps... it could work?!"

"Yes, absolutely. It can even be done in the city. Although there will be some losses, the officials at the Toyama Imperial Palace should enjoy watching it! That area where the superpowered individuals are stationed is a deserted area with little economic value."

"Dramatic and explosive. A desperate girl who rises up in rebellion receives unimaginable support, her instructor is killed, she is reborn from the ashes, and rebels against the entire world."

"Haha, that was a good show. The final explosion was just like a typical Hollywood movie. It's a pity that the protagonist, a young girl, was reduced to ashes in the explosion."

"There is an air force base less than 100 kilometers away from the superpowered people's residence."

"Then let them prepare now."

Hahaha~~ Hahaha

.....

Zhongli is currently unaware of the conversation taking place in a distant direction.

He sat at the bluestone table, quietly feeling the connection between his newly broken finger and the history of this world.

In Teyvat, it was only in the last hundred years that he suddenly crossed this threshold while farming, jumping out of the timeline and world historical records.

This is the first time this power has been used in another world.

We must be careful.

What he just told Nana—that he had received part of the price of the [Contract]—was not a lie.

As the point of entanglement of cause and effect in this world, Nana's contract with him allows him to fix a point in time in this world.

Then it crawls and circles around this point.

He had heard someone say something before.

That is, "So-called demons and gods are all snakes crawling on the timeline."

Having left the continent of Teyvat, and with the Heart of God no longer in effect, he is no longer the Geo Archon, the God of Geo, the God of Contracts and Justice.

He was merely a demon god named Zhong Li.

He spread his body, beginning to extend both upstream and downstream in time.

He saw this world, this planet, and countless histories and records.

Every minute and every second, the history he carries grows ever larger.

Chapter Ten: Zhongli the Mortal

"Ah~~! Hahahaha~!! It's you! This must be the new person you just tricked."

The man standing before Hiiragi Nana had messy, medium-length hair and a crazed, twisted expression.

He was trapped among the stone forest spears, unable to move an inch.

But he continued to shout wildly, using all his power: "Amazing! I thought my abilities were those of the legendary enemy of mankind."

"I can erase a person's kindness, I can erase my own sense of existence, I can erase the bioelectric current in a human body, and I can even erase the superpowers of a superhuman. But I've found that I'm really no match for you, woman."

"Hiiragi!!! Nana!!!"

"Your words and deceptive acting skills are the true enemy of humanity!!!"

Before him, Hiiragi Nana closed her eyes, her expression a mix of pain and regret.

Behind Hiiragi Nana was a group of superpowered teenagers who looked at her with complicated expressions.

They had all heard Nana Hiiragi's explanation of the situation and knew that Nana Hiiragi was a powerless person, an assassin, and a true enemy of humanity to them.

"Is he the first person you harmed on the island, Nakajima Nanao?" Beside Hiiragi Nana, the finger that was transformed into Zhongli held the spear that his original body hadn't used in a long time and said softly to Hiiragi Nana, "You are more than half responsible for him becoming like this."

"Open your eyes. You should listen to his accusations."

Hiiragi Nana nodded, slowly opened her eyes, and stared directly at the roar of the "enemy of humanity" named Nakajima Nanao.

Then she knelt down and said, "I'm sorry, Nakajima."

"I'm sorry? I'm sorry??" A hint of amusement even appeared in Nakajima Nanao's eyes: "All you can say is 'I'm sorry'?"

"Me, my father, my life, my family's life. You've ruined it all! A simple 'I'm sorry'??? Huh??? Are you showing me pity?"

"No, I know now." He laughed maniacally, a laugh that sounded like crying. "You're mocking me, aren't you? Mocking me for how I am. Mocking me for wanting revenge, wanting to be a cold-blooded person who would do anything for revenge, but instead, like a clown, I was so easily captured by you, so easily killed right here! Right?!"

To his words, Nana, kneeling on the ground, softly replied, "No, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. It's all my fault. After everything is over, whatever you want to do to me, I won't resist."

Zhongli listened for a long time, but his expression did not change much.

He casually planted the spear into the ground, crossed one arm over his chest, and rested the other on his chin, his expression slightly deep. After a moment, he said, "Nana Hiiragi merely pushed you off the cliff. At most, you survived a close call. It's normal to hate and resent her, but what about your father and family?"

"There is an inherent lack of trust between things and between people. If you want to convey your resentment, please make it clear."

"What did you say?" Nakajima Nanao gradually calmed down, but his resentment grew stronger.

"Can you explain how your father was ruined, and how your family's lives were ruined?"

Zhongli seemed oblivious to the resentful look in Nakajima Nanao's eyes, speaking clearly and deliberately, each word distinct.

“…”

Nakajima Nanao fell silent, staring at Hiiragi Nana without saying a word.

"It seems you don't intend to answer. Hmm... perhaps it involves something you're reluctant to say. I'm sorry..." Zhongli's voice was sincere.

He then turned away from Nanao Nakajima and looked at the group of superpowered teenagers behind him: "If you'd like, you can come with Nana Hiiragi and me to the park not far away for a short rest."

"My main body is over there... well... that's not quite accurate... I should say a part of my main body is there, which should be able to protect you during this turmoil. At least, I think the existing weapons on this planet shouldn't be able to harm you."

The boys and girls with superpowers looked at each other, glancing at Nakajima Nanao, then at Hiiragi Nana, and finally at Zhong Li.

Zhongli made no further attempts to dissuade them: "Please consider this for a moment. I'll go outside and take care of some matters. I'll come back in three minutes to hear your conclusions."

After saying this, he ignored the thoughts and actions of others, gently pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, and took a step out of the building.

With another step, they stood before a special forces soldier in full gear.

It's unclear when it started, but outside this building housing all the superpowered individuals in the country, numerous fully armed special forces soldiers have appeared.

Their movements were organized and swift, showing they were seasoned veterans. They remained calm even when Zhongli suddenly appeared.

The soldier who was approached by Zhongli quickly pressed a small button on his wrist.

With a whoosh, a white, spiderweb-like object was flicked into the air from his wrist.

At the same time, he roared.

"Body extension, speed type, seventh response."
