Fighting you is like being in jail.

She quickly reminded him, her face filled with seriousness.

At this moment, Leng Chang, his face dark, glanced sideways at the forest behind him and said seriously:

"It seems they couldn't hold back once they were discovered."

As soon as he finished speaking, Reimu Hakurei slowly emerged from behind the bushes with empty eyes, accompanied by Marisa and Cirno.

"You saw something you shouldn't have seen."

"Reimu?!" Madoka Kaname was startled, her eyes widening in disbelief.

……

Meanwhile, in the chat group.

Kazuma Sato: Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! What happened?! Why are everyone around me staring at me with blank eyes?!

Kitahara Iori: Holy crap—! I was eating hotpot in a corner when I was suddenly chased by six guys from the Scarlet Devil Mansion! What's going on?!

Homura Akemi: Chang Leng, Madoka Kaname, what happened to you?

Madoka Kaname: There's something at the end of the sky! After Rei and I discovered it, the people around us changed, and now we're being attacked by Reimu and the others.

Homura Akemi: The end of the sky... This is going to be difficult.

Yukari Yakumo: What's going on?!

Celia: Has this triggered the counterattack mechanism? Tsk! This is not a good time to fight.

Kazuma Sato: I can't hold it in anymore! I'm outta here!

Kitahara Iori: I'm leaving too.

Celia: I'm leaving too.

Homura Akemi: Madoka, Rei Chang, can you handle this?

Leng Chang: It's not a big problem.

......

In the forest, Reimu, surrounded by colorful orbs of spiritual energy, flew through the air, wielding a gohei (a type of magical weapon) and charging forward, her voice echoing throughout the surroundings.

"Fantasy Seal!"

Boom boom boom boom—!

The seven-colored spiritual energy ball bombarded the forest, causing a huge explosion, billowing dust and smoke, and accompanied by violent tremors.

Dodging the attack, Madoka Kaname left marks on the ground with her red flat shoes, raised her head and stared at Reimu who had launched the attack, pink magic emanating from her body.

"Leng Chang, leave this to me, you go to heaven."

She shouted loudly at the dust and smoke around her, and with both hands outstretched, a pink beam of light shot out directly from her bow.

Swish swish swish swish

A pink arc of light streaked across the dark night sky, unfurling a magic circle, and instantly magic arrows rained down like a storm.

"Xiaoyuan, be careful."

"Ok!"

The next second, Leng Chang leaped into the air with the force of his legs.

Boom——!

The earth trembled, and his body transformed into a cannonball, hurtling towards the black sky.

In the night sky, Leng Chang's eyes turned golden, and his body erupted with pink magic as he rushed towards the horizon at top speed.

However, at that very moment of passing through the clouds, the emperor standing on the clouds had already placed his sword in both hands to block in front of him, his empty eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Hisouku no Tenka for all mankind!"

boom-!

An endless burst of energy erupted; beams of light, spheres of light, and lasers filled the entire night sky in an instant, shooting towards the soaring Leng Chang without leaving any gaps.

The density is so high that there are no gaps between fingers.

Leng Chang's eyes narrowed instantly, and his speed didn't slow down at all. The next second, he raised his hand and slapped him.

Snapped--!

A slap landed hard on the face of the woman named Ju Tianzi, sending her flying.

"Nonsense! I don't even play bullet hell games! I'm not going to insult people's intelligence like this again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body shot straight into the sky.

As Leng Chang soared into the sky, he finally saw what was hidden near the end.

"W-What is this!?"

Leng Chang's pupils contracted as he gazed at the buildings at the edge of the sky, feeling a sense of awe.

The pitch-black metal mechanical structure, resembling the hull of a spaceship, stretches as far as the eye can see, with the massive mechanical platform in constant motion.

As if sensing the arrival of the cold, the outer shell of the dark mechanical platform kept peeling away to reveal the core sphere glowing with scarlet light.

"Errors... cognitive contamination of the individual... cleansing..."

The synthesized mechanical voices echoed through the sky, and crimson light flashed, constantly reminding Leng Chang that something was wrong with this thing.

Crackling sounds

The mechanical wings unfolded, revealing a huge cannon muzzle. Crimson energy gathered, and all you could hear was the sound of energy gathering.

The next second, the terrifying energy cannon was aimed at Leng Chang and fired.

Boom—boom—!

In an instant, Leng Chang was swallowed up by this power.

"Contaminated individuals detected...surviving! Initiate the second extermination plan."

As soon as the energy cannon disappeared, the mechanical voice rang out once more.

But the next second! Its turret collapsed under the force of an invisible blow!

Boom!

"Under attack...turret damaged...activate defenses..."

Buzz buzz—!

A red, semi-transparent, diamond-shaped force field defense appeared around the giant machine.

"Ten Thousand Magnetic Fields Rotate - Yakumo Shinken!"

boom-!

With a loud shout, the attack pierced through the defensive force field and slammed directly into the outer shell of the giant mechanical platform, creating a huge crater.

Chapter 222 Hiratsuka Shizuka: Poor Eighth Brother...

"Muda muda muda muda muda muda muda muda!"

"All defenses are futile before my Yakumo Shinken!"

"Do you even understand the true value of the Yakumo Shinken technique?!"

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The continuous barrage of punches erupted in the air, and Leng Chang's fists left afterimages as he struck, showing no sign of stopping.

The air was filled with howling winds, and the dark metal platform in the sky opposite was being destroyed at a visible speed. In the blink of an eye, the entire main body was blown to pieces by the cold wind.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The explosions continued, and amidst the enormous tremors caused by the explosions, the red sphere, which resembled an eye, began to crack.

Click!

After the sound of the crystal shattering rang out, the originally glowing interior dimmed immediately.

"The machine is damaged... beyond repair... energy leak..."

As if in a final struggle, the mechanical voices came and went intermittently before finally falling silent.

Leng Chang did not stop. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, and his power erupted once again as he punched out with his fist.

"Ultimate Killer Punch—!"

boom!

His fist slammed hard into the now-dimmed red spherical crystal.

唯！

A piercing cracking sound rang out, and the huge crystal instantly shattered into tiny shards of glass that scattered in the air, while Leng Chang mercilessly watched everything unfold before him.

"Phew, the sun is setting."

boom--!

A red glow, like the setting sun, appeared in the pitch-black night sky; it was the light from the mechanical explosion.

.............

On the ground, Reimu Hakurei and Marisa, who were attacking Madoka Kaname, were startled and stopped what they were doing, looking up at the sky.

"That is……"

"What happened to me? Why am I here?"

Marisa clutched her forehead, her head aching, and looked around in confusion, her eyes filled with oddities and bewilderment.

Kaname Madoka, who was preparing to retaliate, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. "Is it over?"

"What on earth is going on, Daze?"

Marisa snapped out of her daze and looked ahead. Upon seeing Madoka Kaname, whom she didn't recognize, she immediately asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's a long story, but let's wait for them to come back first."

Seeing Marisa's puzzled expression, Madoka Kaname put away the magic arrow and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Reimu and Marisa slowly descended from the sky, carefully examining Madoka Kaname.

A moment later, Leng Chang descended from the sky, followed by Yakumo Yukari emerging from the spatial ripples.

"Has Reimu missed me?"

"Purple?!" Reimu stared at her in surprise, while Marisa scratched her head, looking puzzled.

"In the end what happened?"

"It's a long story..."

Yukari Yakumo couldn't help but show her sadness. Recalling the hardships she had endured along the way, she wanted to cry her heart out, but unfortunately, it was hard to put into words.

After a short while, Yukari Yakumo explained the situation.

"Dazai!? Something like this actually happened in Gensokyo? I didn't even know Dazai, what a pity!"

Marisa stared wide-eyed in surprise and shouted, filled with regret for missing a particularly exciting part.

Reimu, however, remained silent, pouting and glancing around at the people around her, as if to say, 'That's it?'

"An anomaly! This is an anomaly, Daze! Reimu, why aren't you surprised?" Marisa patted Reimu's shoulder and exclaimed dramatically.

"Yes, an incident... I'm so scared," Reimu read aloud expressionlessly, without any emotion whatsoever.

"Honestly, Reimu is still the same as always." Marisa had no way to deal with Reimu and could only sigh helplessly.

At this moment, Madoka Kaname happily said, "Now let's wait and see if it's really over tomorrow."

"Hmm! In that case, I'll go hide next door for a bit!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yakumo Yukari started running away without looking back, giving no one else a chance to react.
