The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

The spatial passage trembled continuously under the terrifying energy fluctuations, showing faint signs of collapse, but it ultimately held on thanks to the immortal array that consumed massive amounts of resources to set up.

This terrifying power could pierce through stars in a single strike, and the energy burst that melted the void lasted for fifteen seconds before it ended.

After the beam of light disappeared, the dark space returned to its calm, deathly emptiness.

Click, click!

As the power was shut off, cracking sounds emanated from many parts of this massive building, which had consumed the energy of countless scientists—the sound of materials collapsing under the strain.

Even with the support of powerful and mysterious immortal arrays and magic arrays, facing the energy output that could destroy a star, this massive weapon, which is stronger than the strongest divine annihilation tool, would require a huge amount of resources to repair and store energy for several years after each use.

"I was wondering what those things were for. I never imagined that this world's technology, which hasn't even left its planet, has already developed such planet-destroying magical weapons." Jiang Jing withdrew his gaze and sighed in admiration.

Jiang Jing noticed those celestial bodies in outer space once when he looked up at the sky, but without close observation, he couldn't discern the detailed functions of this weapon when it wasn't deployed.

Jiang Jing only glanced at this space-based weapon a couple of times before losing interest.

Let alone such a star-destroying weapon, in a powerful technological universe he had visited before, the strongest level nine civilization could already open up spatial dimensions, create gods, control supergiant stars, and destroy black holes.

Weapons capable of destroying the solar system in a single strike, comparable to the world-destroying power of ancient gods, are merely ordinary equipment required by a capital fleet. Not to mention these space-based weapons that destroy interstellar space, with their low technological content and clumsy design.

"Sora, is this the II you mentioned?" Just then, Shiina Mashiro looked calmly at Jiang Jing's hand, which had been resting on her chest for a long time, and asked in confusion.

"See, you wouldn't understand if it really got heated." Jiang Jing pulled his hand out of Shiina Mashiro's pajamas, then turned off the light and went to sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Jing woke up on time and looked at Shiina Mashiro, who had somehow turned into an octopus and was clinging to him, and couldn't help but shake his head.

He remembered that Shiina Mashiro's sleeping posture used to be okay, but lately she would reach out and hug him in the middle of the night, and wrap her legs around him.

"Get up, Mashiro." Jiang Jing shook Shiina Mashiro awake.

"Sora, isn't today a day off?" Shiina Mashiro opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Jiang Jing blankly, as if questioning him for waking her up.

"Today is Thursday, the day after tomorrow is the rest day."

"Alright, get up, or your senior will laugh at you again if she sees you."

"So it wasn't a day off after all." Shiina Mashiro muttered with some disappointment as she sat up, rubbing her eyes.

Nothing particularly special happened the next day. Jiang Jing just went to class, slept, and wasted his time, living a comfortable life as a lazy bum after school.

As for the new neighbors, Shiina Mashiro and Kamiigusa Misaki were only curious at first, and when they ran into Rias and the others who were also going to school from the apartment in the morning, they simply nodded to them.

"Oh right, it seems we ran out of soy sauce last night when we were cooking. You go in first, I'll go buy a bottle and come back later." Jiang Jing, who had just returned from school and reached the open gate of Sakura Academy, stopped in his tracks.

"No more soy sauce? Oh my god." Shiina Mashiro's eyes lit up.

"You? Forget it, don't make me go to the river to look for you again." Jiang Jing refused directly.

“Sorata looks down on people, I’m angry.” Shiina Mashiro’s cheeks puffed out slightly.

After spending time together and being taught, Shiina Mashiro's usually expressionless face would occasionally show a little emotion, and she became a little more like a normal person.

“It’s not a matter of whether you look down on someone or not,” Jiang Jing shrugged.

"Alright, you can go in first." Jiang Jing said, not allowing Zhen Bai to refuse, and pushed her into the courtyard by pressing her shoulder.

Seeing this, Shiina Mashiro, knowing she had no hope of getting anything done, had no choice but to go inside.

Jiang Jing did go to buy soy sauce, but after buying it at the convenience store, he didn't go straight back. Instead, he turned and drove to an empty garbage station several miles away.

However, this usually deserted garbage station, located in the woods next to the park, was now occupied by three girls carrying huge packages.

Chtholly and her two companions were intently watching a transparent, distorted spatial rift in the sky that was invisible to ordinary people.

"Mr. Kanda Sorata, do you know what this is?" Chtholly, the leader of the three, pointed to the distorted space and asked politely.

Because Rias had introduced Jiang Jing to them, the three of them got to know this esper who lived in an ordinary apartment next door and was said to be quite powerful.

However, since none of them were familiar with each other, Chtholly addressed them with "sir," which is supposedly a polite term in this world, instead of calling them "classmate" or "senior."

"This is a temporary spatial fold point. There's a big guy trying to squeeze in, but it seems to be stuck." In Jiang Jing's eyes, behind this spatial fold is an unstable black space, roughly the size of several football fields.

This space connects this world on one end and the unknown void on the other. At this moment, a disgustingly large creature is trying to squeeze in.

It was a creature that was over ten meters long just from its upper body, covered in purple liquid, and shaped like a snake with only a mouth and no skin. Its dark red body was constantly writhing, making it extremely disgusting and frightening.

In particular, the liquid emanating from it emits a purple fumes and makes a sizzling, corrosive sound when it drips onto the ground, clearly indicating that it contains a potent poison.

"The spatial folding point... I sensed a powerful demonic aura inside. How do we get in?" The blue-haired girl looked at Jiang Jing, her blue eyes asking.

"Uh... what are you going in there for? Shouldn't you be resting and enjoying this peaceful life right now?" Jiang Jing looked at the three girls strangely.

Rias had told him about the three girls. These three girls from the post-apocalyptic world appeared in the restricted area half a year ago, and the three girls quickly accepted their situation and helped the association resist the impact of the polluted monsters.

The three of them usually only had a power level of around two stars, but once they entered battle, they could unleash massive magical power fluctuations of three or even four stars, which shocked many people.

However, after learning the reason why they were able to unleash such great power, the association no longer needed to send them out to fight.

Because their magic comes at the cost of their life force, the stronger the burst, the more damage it does to their bodies, and the faster they die. In particular, the magic within them carries a risk of collapse.

It seems that as long as the power within them is triggered to collapse, they can unleash the strength of an ordinary demon king, and then instantly burn away to ashes.

Therefore, after they came to the mortal world, in view of their previous contributions, the association arranged for them to be provided with their living necessities, to live as ordinary people in this world, and to enjoy the rest of their lives.

“Your monster is very dangerous. If it breaks out, it will definitely cause a lot of casualties,” Chtholly said solemnly.

Having been in this world for only a few days, they had already fallen in love with this peaceful and prosperous world, so they did not want it to be destroyed, and they also understood why the warriors on the forbidden zone battlefield fought so desperately.

Protect the homeland behind us.

"Uh... no need, it's just an ordinary monster." As he spoke, Jiang Jing reached into his pocket with his left hand and pulled out a toy knife under the astonished gazes of Chtholly and the other two.

With a flick of his finger, Jiang Jing sent the Demon Blade Red Lotus flying into the folded space.

boom!!

Just as the demonic blade passed through the spatial rift and appeared in the small space, its blade instantly surged with blood-red light, and in an instant, a giant blade seventeen meters long, burning with raging hellfire, appeared in the air.

Simply by stopping there, the chilling sword intent emanating from the demonic blade transformed into invisible sword energy, tearing through the air with a hissing sound.

Hiss!!

Sensing the astonishing pressure emanating from the demonic blade, the demon, whose aura was at the early stage of the fourth star level, issued a warning, its disgusting body rising high.

boom!!

The raging black hellfire poured down like a river, engulfing the small space and devouring the demonic creature completely. Then, the demonic flames on the blade contracted, transforming into a toy knife that disappeared through space.

"Alright, it's all over." Jiang Jing caught the small knife that flew out of the folded space, casually put it in his pocket, waved to Chtholly and the others with the soy sauce bottle in his hand, and turned to leave.

"Ctholly, gone?" Asya stared blankly at Ctholly and Nephren as the spatial rift slowly subsided.

"That's all, go back." The youngest, Nephren, nodded expressionlessly, then turned around with the large bundle wrapped in cloth on her back and walked in the direction Jiang Jing had gone back.

"Let's go, isn't it better if we don't have to do anything?" Chtholly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

If they could fight without using their magic, Chtholly wouldn't want to fight, because consuming magic is equivalent to consuming their lives, even though they take death lightly.

But she always felt a little regretful that she would die so young after coming to this peaceful and prosperous world.

"Hey, did you guys get a mission? It's around here where I live." Jiang Jing walked out of the woods and took out his phone to call Rias.

"Huh? How did you know?" Rias asked, somewhat surprised, standing in the activated magic circle in the activity room of the school's Mysterious Research Department.

She had indeed just accepted a bounty from the association to deal with a four-star monster, and the location was not far from her new residence.

Jiang Jing nodded: "I guess they noticed the crack over there too, after all, the demonic energy leaking out is so intense."

"You don't need to come over. I just took care of that four-star monster. Have them transfer the contribution points to you, and you can transfer the money to my account."

Rias was taken aback; she hadn't expected Jiang Jing to have already dealt with the monster.

However, this time Rias didn't buy the contribution points directly. Instead, she suggested, "I think even if you don't need source crystals, you can still save up some contribution points to exchange for what you need, Sorata?"

"No need, I don't want anything right now. Okay, that's enough. I'm just here to buy soy sauce, it's not good to go back too late." After saying that, Jiang Jing hung up the phone.

"Just passing by...?" Rias looked bewildered.

P.S.: First update is here! Remember to vote if you have any! ^-^

Chapter 103 Are You a Devil?

"Kōta, you've gone to the riverbank too."

Just as Jiang Jing entered the house, Shiina Mashiro, who was standing in front of the kitchen counter watching Ueiso Misaki busy at work and wanted to learn cooking skills, turned around and looked at Jiang Jing, asking curiously.

Because the river view took a while to arrive.

As for cooking skills, Shiina Mashiro knew that her cooking must have been terrible the night she thought about the reactions of Kamiigusa Misaki and Sengoku Chihiro.

So while she felt a little warm, she didn't intend to give up and prepared to study even harder. Ayano told her that if you want to win a man's heart, you have to cut off his stomach, a point that Shiina Mashiro agreed with.

She really liked Jiang Jing's cooking, and she would count down the days until Jiang Jing was on duty so she could eat to her heart's content when he cooked.

However, Jiang Jing didn't show off his skills in the next two days. He just made a few simple dishes that were enough to eat, which made Shiina Mashiro a little disappointed.

"No, I just chatted with the convenience store owner for a bit. His soy sauce doesn't seem to taste very pure lately." Jiang Jing didn't even blink when he started to fool Shiina Mashiro.

"And do you think I'm like you?"

"Hmph, I just went the wrong way that time. If I went again just now, I definitely wouldn't have gone the wrong way again," Shiina Mashiro said unconvinced.

"Senior, do you want to try Mashiro today?" Jiang Jing said with a smile as he handed the soy sauce in his hand to Misaki, bypassing Mashiro.

“Yeah, Misaki, why don’t you go and rest? I’ll do it. This time it definitely won’t be so bad.” Shiina Mashiro’s eyes lit up.

"Are you a devil?" Misaki Kamiigusa gave Jiang Jing a look.

"Hahahaha... Mashiro, didn't you just say you were going to urge your junior to finish writing the rest of Toradora!? Go on then."

“Otherwise, with my junior evolving into a super lazy bum, he’ll definitely forget if you don’t urge him, and then he’ll just lie on the floor too lazy to even turn over.” Misaki Ueiso first refused, then sold out Jiang Jing.

She dared not let Shiina Mashiro cook again; what happened that day was too frightening. Shiina Mashiro was even more reckless than her. For safety's sake, she should do it herself.

It was past eleven o'clock at night.

Jiang Jing had copied out the last three volumes of Dragon and Tiger, planning to refine them later, when he saw Shiina Mashiro appear at the door and asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to sleep upstairs tonight?"

However, Shiina Mashiro didn't speak. Instead, she closed the door behind her, walked in with a look of doubt on her face, looked around, closed her eyes and sensed for a while before opening her eyes to confirm.

"As expected, it's still more comfortable to stay by Sorata's side."

After saying that it was too hot, Shiina Mashiro, who was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, took out her sketchbook from behind her back, sat down at the low table, and prepared to continue drawing, looking like she didn't plan to sleep tonight.

Looking at Shiina Mashiro, who was hunched over the low table working hard, Shiina Mashiro, who was already preparing for bed, frowned slightly and asked, "How many more sheets do you need?"
