Moe Girl Guardians

A sharp glint appeared in her eyes, and Jibril used spatial teleportation again, moving towards the stairs in front of Wu Feng. (To be continued...)

P.S.: I'll try my best to update tomorrow.

Chapter 278 The Third Stage of Change

Spatial teleportation, in theory, can quickly transfer you to your destination as long as you are within sight. However, after using it this time, Jibril was surprised to find that she only appeared at the position of the 400th step of the white stone staircase, while Wu Feng had already reached the 700th step of the white stone staircase.

As he climbed rapidly, Wu Feng carefully sensed the changes in magic power behind him. The endless staircase had the ability to suppress magic power, and if he could suppress some of Jibril's magic power, it would be much easier to deal with her.

A special energy descended upon her, weakening her magic power, but it quickly returned to its peak. For Jibril, whose strength was already suppressed to 30%, releasing a small amount of magic power was enough to bring her back to her peak condition.

There are limitations! Jibril thought with slight surprise that the only passage to the top must have something special. She had already thought of this, but the ability to suppress magic and prevent flight and teleportation was still beyond her imagination. Even if a god wanted to do it, it would be very difficult.

Looking at Wu Feng's figure climbing ahead, and the smooth skin exposed behind him, her heart burned even brighter. No matter what, I will definitely get you, my master!

Realizing that teleporting was less effective than running, Jibril quickly began to climb upwards. Each step she took resulted in a slight decrease in her magical power, but with her quasi-god-level strength, none of this was a problem.

Although Jibril was many levels higher than Wu Feng, her physical strength was far inferior. It should be said that even among quasi-gods, there were not many who could surpass Wu Feng. As long as one's energy reached the level of a quasi-god, one was considered a quasi-god powerhouse. Physical strength was not very important to most people.

With her teleportation and flight abilities suppressed, Jibril and Wu Feng gradually separated. Her magical power weakened and then strengthened repeatedly.

One after another, magical projectiles hurtled towards Wu Feng from behind. They landed on the white stone steps, unleashing tremendous power, but only causing a few tiny cracks in the steps, barely noticeable unless one looked closely. In terms of the difficulty of destruction, the second stage of the white stone steps far surpassed that of the cherry blossom garden.

Wu Feng, positioned ahead, was extremely focused, dodging incoming attacks while maintaining full speed to avoid being caught by Jibril.

The barrage of bullets behind him went from sparse to dense, and then from dense to sparse again, but it never posed a significant threat. When he had climbed four-fifths of the way up, Wu Feng suddenly stopped, his face full of regret. Why had he risked his life to climb up like that...?

The purpose was to prevent Jibril's teleportation ability, and this place is perfect; climbing up actually lifted those restrictions...

He took out his parasol and planted it on the ground with one hand. He awaited Jibril's arrival; even Wu Feng couldn't break the rules. The Heavenly Ladder was a one-way street; one could only move forward, not backward, unless the entire world was destroyed.

……

"Was Master waiting for me on purpose? I'm so touched!" A few seconds later, Jibril was already not far from Wu Feng, and she said happily with a smile on her pretty face, opening her arms to give him a hug.

"There's plenty of time after this is over, let's settle this now." Holding the [Purple Moon Funeral Song], he said, waving it around, preparing to give Jibril a big gift.

Before the parasol could even touch Jibril, the figure in front of him had already disappeared, appearing almost right behind Wu Feng. Without stopping, it flapped its wings and headed towards the top floor.

"So sad, so sad. Since Master doesn't like hugs, then I'll go first~"

Beforehand, since she was already behind, Jibril spent some time researching the White Stone Staircase's abilities and gained some understanding of it.

Weakening, prohibiting backward movement, prohibiting flight, weakening teleportation

On the stairs, retreating is forbidden; there is only one way forward. However, moving forward will weaken one's strength. The higher one goes, the more severe the restriction on spatial movement becomes, but it is not forbidden.

These factors combined led her to a conclusion: the auxiliary path forces the opponent to keep moving forward, weakening them, with the ultimate goal being the top of the Heavenly Ladder.

The ladder was too restrictive for her; she couldn't choose this battlefield no matter what. The inability to teleport in close combat made her lack confidence in winning.

Watching Jibril gradually disappear into the distance, nearing the third stage of the White Jade Pavilion, Wu Feng helplessly slapped himself. He'd ended up being tricked by someone else. Wasn't Jibril supposed to be quite adorable in the anime? He didn't seem to realize it during battle…

Is there still a difference between anime and reality...?

……

Wu Feng slowly walked to the top floor. In the open space in front of the White Jade Building, he frowned and looked at the building on the top floor.

The effect of the third stage of the Jade Tower should be to release a huge pressure to suppress the enemy and reduce their strength. Generally speaking, the closer you are to it, the stronger the effect. The power of the endless ladder begins to be exerted at the beginning, and it reaches its limit when you leave the steps.

The effects of the Endless Ladder and the Jade Tower phases overlap, so even though his strength wasn't weakened, Wu Feng could still feel the change in energy.

But the moment he stepped onto the top floor, he could feel Bai Yulou's oppressive aura disappear.

Jibril was also surprised. The suppression was lifted, and her power increased slightly. In the blink of an eye, she had broken through the Mad God level and reached the Quasi-God level.

"What effect is Master going to activate again~" Jibril asked expectantly after pressing her power back onto Kuang.

“My ability has encountered an unexpected problem,” Wu Feng said to Jibril, spreading his hands. He was now certain that the third stage had undergone some changes since it was destroyed last time.

The suppression of his strength could not be lifted simply because he arrived. The last time he came here, the Jade Pavilion was filled with terrifying fluctuations, which made him afraid to enter. But now those fluctuations have disappeared, and the effect of suppressing his strength has also disappeared.

Fortunately, his opponent was Jibril. If it had been a stronger opponent who suddenly regained her strength, he might have suffered a great loss.

"Huh?" Jibril's voice was somewhat disappointed. Seeing more things was something that excited her.

"Let's continue," Wu Feng said. Regardless of the outcome, he would take some time to examine the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] after the battle was decided, as it was his trump card.

In front of the White Jade Pavilion, two figures vanished from their spot at the same time, beginning the next round of attacks.

Beneath the endless staircase, the blank figures stood together, craning their necks and staring in bewilderment at the white stone steps. From this angle, they couldn't see the end at all! Damn it! Don't overestimate humanity!

"...According to calculations...we have no hope of finishing..." Looking at the stairs, Bai Fei quickly calculated the possibility of climbing them, then lowered his head and said, "The NEETs' physical strength is a major weakness..." (To be continued...)

P.S.: I lost over twenty favorites in a short time, is there something wrong with my account...?

Chapter 279 Possession?

Before the third stage of [Netherworld Jade Tower], there is suppression, almost one-sided suppression.

Without the power of death, and only possessing physical strength, Wu Feng was in a state of being tortured. When he used the gap, Jibril teleported away, refusing to confront him head-on. Wu Feng could only resist with difficulty and could not retaliate.

Waving his parasol to block a wave of comments, Wu Feng was conflicted. As expected, anime is full of disappointments! He was already at such a disadvantage, yet there was still no possibility of the power of death reviving. If this continued, defeat would soon befall him.

Why don't we go in and take a look? Looking at the entrance of Baiyulou, Wu Feng suddenly remembered that he had never been able to go in because of the terrifying fluctuations that filled the place. Now, maybe he could go in.

A gap opened up beneath his feet, and the next moment Wu Feng appeared inside the Jade Pavilion. Just as he had expected, he was able to enter the Jade Pavilion.

After Wu Feng disappeared, Jibril followed suit and used spatial teleportation, but it failed once again. She arrived at the entrance of the White Jade Pavilion, where terrifying fluctuations emanated from within, as if a monster was devouring everyone who entered. The fluctuations that Wu Feng had supposedly dispelled were still present.

Jibril broke out in a cold sweat; this was no ordinary place, but she still took the first step inside.

Upon entering the Jade Pavilion, a vague message entered Wu Feng's mind: "Welcome back." This message made him subconsciously believe that Jibril had arrived. Seeing that there was nothing around him, he trembled. He had never heard of any life within the Jade Pavilion.

Going out now will only lead to failure sooner or later; perhaps we can discover something inside. The skill description only mentions Bai Yulou's suppression effect. It doesn't say anything about the situation inside. If danger arises, we can simply deactivate the skill; after all, it's still his own skill.

The Jade Pavilion was utterly silent. The end of the corridor was shrouded in darkness; only by getting close could one see what lay beyond. His footsteps pattered on the dimly lit floor, and at each corner, a guiding force seemed to lead him forward. For the first time… Wu Feng felt a chill run down his spine…

To be honest, as a homebody, I'm actually quite afraid of ghosts... even though I am a ghost myself...

The exclusive skill, [Netherworld Jade Pavilion], is a fusion of three skills with a compatibility exceeding 90%, a probability that even Shadu found unbelievable. In the Gate of Babylon, she searched through tens of thousands of Noble Phantasms before finding a single piece of equipment with a compatibility exceeding 90%. And this wasn't just two skills having a compatibility exceeding 90% with one other skill; it was the compatibility of all three skills exceeding 90%. It was practically impossible for anyone to encounter such a combination.

Although the resulting [Netherworld Jade Tower] is powerful, it is not surprising enough. Simply put, it only has two abilities: amplification and weakening.

The core of the fusion of the three has always been hidden and has never been exposed. Even Sha did not discover it and forbade Wu Feng from contacting it because his strength was not yet sufficient to control it.

The god-slayer confronted Athena, and the terrifying fluctuations prevented him from entering. However, after experiencing destruction, the core of the [Netherworld Jade Tower] underwent a change, and it willingly accepted his entry.

Why did a "welcome back" voice appear in Wu Feng's mind? The [Netherworld Jade Tower] truly had no life. If Sha were still awake and saw all this, she would surely give him an answer.

The Netherworld Jade Pavilion is a world...

Following the sound, Wu Feng walked through the White Jade Pavilion. His view gradually opened up, and the path became familiar to him. When he reached a door, Wu Feng remembered that this path led to the center of the White Jade Pavilion, to the entrance of the main hall.

"...Imitating Bai Yulou doesn't have to be this realistic..." Opening the door, the overwhelming pressure made Wu Feng break out in a cold sweat, and the situation inside left him speechless.

In the center of the hall, a figure floated around, surrounded by numerous will-o'-the-wisps. The figure wore a blue and white kimono-style nightgown with ruffles and floral patterns corresponding to the season, which was cherry blossoms at the moment.

Saigyouji Yuyuko, the ghost who had lived with her for over two hundred years, floated in mid-air, her pretty face expressionless, staring blankly in the direction of the entrance, as if she were staring at Wu Feng.

The moment the door opened, Wu Feng almost mistook her for a real person. A voice rang in his mind, not specific words, but rather a guide for Wu Feng to approach Youyouzi.

"Young Miss, I'm sorry." Approaching Yuyuko, Wu Feng apologetically grasped her hands, his eyes gradually becoming lifeless. Dense death energy gathered around them, and purple light filled the entire room. The upper limit of energy had undoubtedly exceeded the Berserker level, but the space here did not change in the slightest.

Gensokyo, inside the Hakugyokurou in the Underworld

Yuyuko stood in the room, gazing outwards. During the days when Wu Feng was in danger, she had been restless and, after pressing him, finally obtained the truth from Yakumo Yukari.

Yuuko was seriously injured and nearly died, which made the usually elegant and calm Yuyuko furious. After her death, she had very few friends, and those who were closer to her were Yakumo Yukari, Konpaku Youki, and Saigyouji Yuuko.

Not long after she became the manager of the underworld, she came to Hakugyokurou and lived with the ghosts there. Yuyuko had already regarded her as the most important member of the group. The fact that she was seriously injured and almost died made her go berserk.

Even though she was still in contact with them and they were alive, she couldn't rest easy. The recent cleanup of Gensokyo transmigrators was almost entirely her doing, with a god-level figure personally taking action.

"Hmm?" Yuyuko murmured softly. Just now, she received a strange request, wanting to borrow her power, and the person she was asking for help from was Saigyouji Yuuko.

A scene was reflected in her orange-red eyes: Youfeng was in the same room as her, enveloped in the power of death, with her illusory image beside him.

If it were Youfeng, what reason would she have to refuse? The power of death spread around her.

"Young Miss, what happened?" Youki, who sensed the power of death, walked in and asked Yuyuko for instructions.

"No, it's nothing, I'm just really happy~" Yuyuko smiled, surprising Youki. This was the first time the young lady had smiled since learning about Yufeng's news.

As Yuyuko agreed, the power of death gathered beside the phantom, and its eyes seemed to become bright. It faced Wu Feng, embraced him, and under the purple light, the two became one.

Using the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] as a medium, the power of death descended upon him, pouring into his body like flowing water. (To be continued…)

P.S.: The core of 【Netherworld Jade Pavilion】 has been discussed for a long time regarding the Godslayer, and it's time to finally use it~

Chapter 280 I Admit Defeat

Every world possesses a will, and the higher the level of the world, the more complete its will, to the point that it can take human form and possess great power.

The basic world only possesses a fundamental will to maintain its existence; for example, if humans destroy the Earth, the Earth will launch a disaster to eliminate humanity, without making any subtle adjustments.

The inherent barrier's rating can be considered between B and S. The [Netherworld Jade Pavilion], formed by the fusion of three skills, almost transcends the scope of skills. If we were to comment on its level, its power might be far inferior to S-rank and SS-rank skills, but its uniqueness is enough to make it a special level, beyond discussion.

【The Netherworld Jade Pavilion】is an incomplete world that has deviated from the norm and given birth to a will.

The world's form is entirely modeled after Hakugyokurou in the underworld, based on Wu Feng's memories, but it is not entirely the same. The three skills are fused together: Hades' power comes from the underworld, the Scarlet Devil Mansion Mark was born in Gensokyo, and the Hakugyokurou Emblem represents Hakugyokurou, thus creating a connection between the formed world and the underworld of Gensokyo.

With the world's will as a medium and with the other party's consent, one can temporarily borrow power from Saigyouji Yuyuko, the master of Hakugyokurou and the administrator of the underworld.

The skill description of [Yume Hakugyokurou] also changed at this time, as it borrowed Yuyuko Saigyouji's power for the first time.

[Netherworld Hakugyokurou: A skill that combines "Eternal Eclipse," the Hakugyokurou emblem, and the Scarlet Devil Mansion mark to create a void world and bring the target character into it.]

[Number of participants limited to 1-999]

The Void World is divided into three parts: the Cherry Blossom Garden, the Heavenly Ladder, and the Jade Pavilion.

[Cherry Blossom Garden: Covers the entire void world, increasing one's own strength by one level. Can cross levels.]

[Heavenly Ladder: An endless staircase in front of the Jade Pavilion. Only one person can climb at a time. Forced one-on-one combat]

[Baiyulou: The residence of the underworld's administrators. Effects: ???]

The suppression ability has disappeared and been replaced by the unknown. If we don't know the effect, from an overall perspective, the power of the skill has been weakened.

A dense aura of death spread throughout the entire area of ​​the White Jade Pavilion, and Jibril felt a sudden lightness on her body, her restricted abilities being released at this moment. Her figure flashed and appeared in the sky outside the White Jade Pavilion, gazing in its direction.
