Thanks for the invitation! I am in Honkai, still connected

Chapter 412 72 - Take an Immortal Traveling?

"Who slapped your face?"On St. Freya Academy's food street, Miss Fu Hua asked casually as she looked at the young man, whose face was clearly red in one spot.

"If I told you I was blushing from a confession, would you believe me?"

The person, who clearly had a palm print on his face, put down his bowl and sighed, looking completely bewildered.

"Looks like you provoked a girl and got slapped."

As if she were already used to it, the Immortal, her memories now restored, examined his cheek for a second before picking up her chopsticks again and continuing to eat her noodles in small bites.

Seriously, what kind of confession is, "I've wanted to commit domestic violence on you for a long time!"

Right after confessing, she had sent Raven to act as a lookout and then immediately resorted to violence.

After the beating, she had nonchalantly and unilaterally scheduled a "date at the gym tomorrow," then dragged off Miss Raven—who was supposed to be her wingman but had been completely useless the whole time.

The young man, who hadn't escaped a beating in the end, rubbed his slightly stiff face, feeling a little broken inside.

How on earth did Dull Goose come up with such a ridiculously absurd way to confess?

"Let's eat first. After we're done, I'll get some safflower oil and rub it in for you."

Without pressing for details, the Immortal, who had just finished cooking, lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling upon the dishes on the table.

Then, she continued to eat.

Her calm demeanor was so profound that even Li Zihan found it a bit unusual.

"By the way, aren't you angry?"

As the universally acknowledged super-playboy of Schicksal, Li Zihan asked, looking at the impossibly composed Immortal.

The palm print on his face was from being slapped by Dull Goose after her confession.

Logically speaking, Fu Hua, as his lover, should be furious.

I was already prepared to take a hit from Inch-Force Splits the Heavens, he thought.

"There's no need to concern myself with that sort of thing."

The Immortal, long accustomed to his lifestyle, raised her eyelids slightly and spoke.

She's just not going to concern herself with it?

Looking at the Immortal, who seemed completely unbothered by what her lover was up to, Li Zihan fell into deep thought, wondering if there was some deeper meaning behind her words.

But before he could ponder it further, the Immortal changed the subject, and her words reached his ears.

"However—"

"Next time you plan on doing something like this, remember to tell me beforehand. I'll help you check her out."

"…Understood."

Li Zihan looked at the impossibly calm Immortal and seemed to realize something unusual.

It was best not to delve too deeply into this matter.

The young man, feeling that probing further might lead to trouble, chose to follow his instincts.

Alright, let's move on to something serious.

The person who had always excelled at professional topics thought to himself, then put down his chopsticks and asked the Immortal before him.

"By the way, are you interested in traveling to another world with me to meet up with Kevin?"

A while ago, Li Zihan had received two missions from the System, which many readers had probably forgotten by now.

The FGO series of crises—the Incineration and Freezing of the Human Order—had been smashed to pieces by Li Zihan when he initiated FGO 3.0: Honkai Advent.

For that, Li Zihan had obtained one of the Shinza Series' power systems—the Precepts—which allowed his combat power to explode as long as he was willing to make a dire vow.

However, he had yet to tackle the other mission.

The world of Re:Creators, which had fallen into a crisis of invasion from another world, was still in dire straits.

To put it simply, that world's location was a bit special, making it ridiculously easy to connect with.

For various reasons, that world had linked up with others, and all sorts of monsters and demons had poured in.

The System's mission required him to deal with those intruders one by one and restore peace to that world.

But since he hadn't had the time to deal with it before, Li Zihan had opted to airdrop Kevin and Su there to suppress the phenomenon of invading creations.

But—

It was only suppression, nothing more.

After all, some of the characters who had invaded were a bit… broken.

Li Zihan narrowed his eyes, thinking.

Some of the individuals there were so troublesome that even his current self would find them difficult to handle.

However, no matter how troublesome, he had to complete that mission.

A slight smile touched the corners of Li Zihan's lips, his decision to cut down the Imaginary Tree already made.

Theoretically, he had no grudge against the Imaginary Tree. In fact, you could even say he was one of its top ten employees…

But both the Type-Moon world and the Honkai world were its branches.

If they ever failed to meet Its expectations, It could simply turn the two worlds he cared about into World Bubbles, toss them into the Sea to rot, and turn them into nutrients for other worlds.

At that time, he could, of course, take the people he cared about and escape to another world to start a new life.

But the girls he cared about would be devastated after witnessing the destruction of their own worlds.

Therefore, the Imaginary Tree had to be dealt with.

To that end, Li Zihan desperately needed the cultivation system known as Eternal Destruction.

Eternal Destruction was one of the reward choices mentioned by the System.

This cultivation method was divided into four stages.

First Stage, Activity (Assiah): By combining the user's soul with a holy relic, they can wield a portion of the relic's abilities with their physical body.

Second Stage, Formation (Yetzirah): The user materializes their holy relic as a weapon, transcends the limits of humanity, and becomes a demonic being that ordinary people could never hope to oppose, making the concept of "one against a thousand" a literal reality.

Third Stage, Creation (Briah): The shape of the holy relic changes, and the user obtains its "fatal stage"—the ability to modify the rules of a certain area, manifesting their desires, fanaticism, and obsessions into an "otherworld" with completely different laws.

These first three stages, with the exception of a few bug-like characters, did not display combat power above the planetary surface level.

However, upon reaching the fourth stage—Emanation—this system would reveal its most ferocious aspect.

By finding a suitable "Throne," a fourth-stage Emanator could allow their own "Law" to flow out into the multiverse, eradicating all other rules and making the universe submit to their will.

As long as he used that system to raise himself to his absolute limit, and then used the power of other systems to achieve a final breakthrough, then severing the Imaginary Tree would not be an impossible feat.

The young man, who had already obtained the Precepts system and would choose the Eternal Destruction system after completing this next mission, chuckled lightly. He looked at the Immortal before him, awaiting her final answer.

"You're saying we should go and resolve a crisis in another world together?"

The Immortal, who had guarded Shenzhou for ages, furrowed her brow. After a moment of thought, she nodded.

"Alright."
