I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

"Group owner, is this... a shrine?"

With a flash of light, Kurumi Tokisaki used two clones to carry Nia Honjou across the interdimensional gate to another world.

She glanced around and found that the surroundings were lush and green, with many plants she didn't recognize, and there was also a huge, dilapidated house.

The dilapidated house had a distinctly Japanese style, which made Kurumi Tokisaki realize that it had once been a shrine.

At the same time, Kurumi Tokisaki also felt a sense of gloom.

This dull feeling comes from gravity. The gravity and oxygen content of the world before her are different from those on Earth, making Kurumi Tokisaki feel a little uncomfortable.

After observing and experiencing her surroundings, Kurumi Tokisaki finally turned her gaze to the man and two women in front of her.

I've seen what Duanmu Lian looks like from the chat group's memory copy and from that previous live stream.

However, when she saw him again this time, Kurumi Tokisaki noticed that his eyes and demeanor had changed completely from what she remembered.

The other party seemed even more cold and unapproachable.

"Yes, an abandoned shrine."

Duanmu Lian nodded, her eyes calm and deep, revealing no emotional fluctuations.

He looked the girl up and down, and had to admit that she possessed a seductive charm similar to that of a succubus.

Such a temperament, combined with the other person's beautiful and delicate face, has a fatal attraction to the opposite sex.

No wonder Kurumi Tokisaki used her beauty to lure law enforcement officers, and she caught them every time.

"How are you feeling now? Based on my deduction, the elf's power has switched to a different world, which should have a significant impact."

"------!"

Duanmu Lian's words hadn't been so bad, but after she said that, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately realized what was happening and began to examine her own body.

At that moment, she felt her spiritual energy becoming less active and her strength weakening considerably.

At the same time, the spiritual energy required to maintain the spirit armor will not automatically recover; it will decrease as you use it.

Kurumi Tokisaki raised her hand and activated her spiritual power, attempting to unleash a spatial quake, but the power seemed to vanish without a trace.

As for the commotion it caused?

It only caused a tiny, almost invisible ripple in the void.

In the original world, Kurumi Tokisaki could easily destroy a city by triggering a spacequake.

But here, she wanted to leverage space on her own, like using a lever to move an aircraft carrier.

"As expected, a mere spirit core cannot possibly generate power out of thin air."

Seeing the embarrassed look on Tokisaki Kurumi's face, Duanmu Lian nodded, confirming that her guess was correct.

"What's going on, group admin?"

Kurumi Tokisaki looked at Duanmu Lian with a pitiful expression, hoping that the other party could explain it to her.

Although she knew that the power of the spirits came from Mio Takamiya and did not belong to her.

However, the fact that this abnormality occurred after she had been using her power for several years was extremely unsettling for her.

“It’s very simple. The spiritual power you elves wield doesn’t arise out of thin air; it must have a source. Based on my guess, that source comes from the [Neighboring World]. Now that you’ve come to a world without the [Neighboring World], it’s like a fish out of water.”

Under Duanmu Lian's well-reasoned and logical reasoning, Tokisaki Kurumi finally understood the strange phenomenon in her body.

Previously, she had never thought about how her spiritual energy was replenished when it was completely depleted.

Once the spiritual energy is depleted, it will automatically be replenished.

A spirit core can provide power to Kurumi Tokisaki, but it can't provide energy indefinitely, right?

Thinking of this, Kurumi Tokisaki couldn't help but feel a sense of self-mockery.

The source of power is not something one can control, so to think one can kill the Primal Spirit is simply overestimating oneself.

"And it's only natural that your spacequake can't be successfully used here."

Duanmu Lian slowly walked up to Tokisaki Kurumi, looking at the beautiful black-haired girl in front of her with her beautiful starlight eyes, and explained in a calm tone: "How can space be so easily triggered by such a small amount of energy to cause a shock reaction? The spirit power of the elves is one thing, but the main thing is that it can cover the entire neighboring world of Earth."

After observing Tokisaki Kurumi for the first time, Duanmu Lian discovered that while the power she possessed was unique, its strength was considerably weaker.

He had also seen the other party attempt to trigger a spatial quake.

The fact that the opponent failed convinced Duanmu Lian that the strong one was not those elves, but only Chonggong Mio.

In order to enable humans to successfully transform into spirits, Mio Takamiya used many human girls as sacrifices to refine her spirit crystals.

However, after seeing Kurumi Tokisaki, Duanmu Lian felt that the so-called refinement was probably a form of weakening.

The original spirit crystals were beyond human absorption and control; only after further degradation could humans fuse with them.

"Oh dear... In your words, elves are being belittled to the point of being worthless."

Kurumi Tokisaki felt somewhat helpless and heartbroken at Duanmu Lian's frank and direct words.

After all, as an elf in her own world, she was incredibly strong, but after arriving in another world, she was completely weakened.

"Power that doesn't belong to you is worthless."

Duanmu Lian looked at Honjou Nia, who was being carried by a clone behind Tokisaki Kurumi, and teleported her over from a distance with a thought.

Looking at the bald girl in straitjacket floating in front of them, both Liu Zi and Shu Ji frowned slightly.

With their keen eyesight, the two women immediately recognized that the girl had suffered unimaginable inhuman treatment.

"His mental state has completely collapsed, and he is on the verge of spiritual death."

Duanmu Lian raised her hand and gently touched Honjou Nia's brow, immediately sensing the other's current state.

Seeing this, Kurumi Tokisaki immediately asked:

"Is there any hope for us, group admin?"

"Yes, a psychological procedure can suffice."

Duanmu Lian took out a capsule that could hold a person from her spatial ring, put Honjou Nia into it, and handed it to Shuji who was standing next to her, instructing, "Shuji, please take her back and give her to Eirin for treatment."

There are many ways to save Nia Honjou now, but the simplest and most effective way is to entrust her to Eirin Yagokoro, the best physician in Eternal Abyss.

While Duanmu Lian herself can treat mental illnesses, she is not yet proficient in them.

As one of the items in the trade, Niya now belongs to him.

In Duanmu Lian's view, the other party's abilities as an elf were quite valuable.

"it is good."

Shuji nodded as she took the capsule, and then, as Duanmu Lian opened the spatial portal, she escaped from this marble universe.

As for Tokisaki Kurumi?

She watched as Shuhime led Nia Honjo away, then looked around and softly asked:

"Group owner, are you on an adventure in another world?"

The last time Mebius went to Duanmu Lian's side, she happened to be adventuring in another world.

To be honest, Tokisaki Kurumi is quite interested in the isekai (another world) genre, after all, she has a history of being a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur).

“No, this world is one of the universes I control.” Duanmu Lian shook her head.

One of the universes under our control?

Upon hearing this answer, Kurumi Tokisaki's eye twitched involuntarily.

If someone else had said this, she might have been a little skeptical.

However, when faced with Duanmu Lian from the world of the gods, Tokisaki Kurumi had no doubts.

After all, when comparing whose world is more dangerous and powerful within the group, Duanmu Lian's world of the God Throne is undoubtedly number one.

"So... what kind of world is this?"

Knowing that this was Duanmu Lian's territory, Tokisaki Kurumi was no longer too worried about her safety, and thus became somewhat curious about this world.

"Instead of describing it with words, come and see for yourself."

Duanmu Lian and others will be building an experimental base in this world to study the manifestation device and Tokisaki Kurumi's spirit crystal.

Before that, they did have time to take a look around.

"roar---!!!"

Suddenly, just as the three were about to leave the abandoned shrine, a huge roar of a beast reached their ears.

Kurumi Tokisaki, who had sank her two clones into the shadows, narrowed her eyes. Hearing the beastly roar, she thought it was some kind of large wild animal.

But what they saw after leaving the shrine was not a wild beast, but a monster.

In the lush green jungle, a colossal four-legged beast, its body crackling with bluish-white lightning and covered in blue scales, roared as it hunted its prey.

This four-legged monster is covered in hard armor, and the blue and yellow colors in its scales blend with the mountains, while its white fur merges with the white clouds.

It looks like a wolf, but with two horns on its head, it resembles a dragon.

The creature that was preyed upon by this monster made Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes widen.

For before that colossal beast radiating lightning stood a group of several large, humanoid cats.

"Zirion Wolf Dragon..."

Liu Zi was slightly surprised when she saw the huge, wolf-like monster, while Duanmu Lian was not surprised at all, and even called out the name of the monster in front of her.

The world they live in now is the world of Monster Hunter.

Because this world is home to many excellent and powerful creatures, a certain generation of Duanmu Lian once transformed this world into a marble universe.

The powerful creatures in this world possess materials that can be used to craft formidable weapons and armor.

Therefore, it possesses the characteristics of sustainable development.

The creatures preyed upon by the Zinogre are wild Palicoes.

The Palico is a beastman race that closely resembles a cat, can walk on two legs, and speaks human language.
