Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

Thousands of clones rushed towards the wasabi at the same time, but the Ruyi Cudgel arrived first, smashing into him with immense force.

Then a thunderous roar erupted, splintering stones flew everywhere, and a two-meter-diameter crater was smashed into the cement ground. The wasabi, as before, shattered and dissipated into the air.

Damn it, it's just another illusion.

The deer's cheeks flushed crimson, and a warm, restless emotion rushed into her nostrils like the taste of wasabi.

"Hmph! Playing tricks!"

She knew that this emotion was called "red warmth".

At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with comments.

<The Deer, This Red Warm>

Are you not in a hurry?

"Anyone who doesn't get a headache from eating too much wasabi, right, Little Deer?"

<666, this is also available on AiLu TV>

It's a pity that in this world, deer that only know how to fill their laps are harder to find than deer that possess their own territory.

After the red heat subsided, the lightning quickly receded.

Lu Ziyun's thousands of clones froze in place, as if a pause button had been pressed. Only the arcs of electricity floating in the air continued to move, illuminating the remaining dust as tiny specks of light.

At least seventeen large-scale lightning strike marks on the ground, charred by lightning, are slowly emitting smoke, with the largest covering half a street.

The fire hydrant on the street was blown away, and water jets were spraying upwards at irregular angles. For Dr. Spellcaster, electrolyzing water can produce hydrogen and oxygen, and a full-screen explosion that can indiscriminately explode enemies is also a viable solution, but it is too inefficient and will not be used for the time being.

Lu Ziyun slowly raised her right hand, spreading her five fingers as if to grasp something.

She is feeling it.

Telepathy—an ability she honed over years of in-depth research into electromagnetism.

Firstly, it can lock onto hidden enemies by sensing their life magnetic field.

Secondly, by reading faint brainwaves, it is possible to vaguely read the enemy's mind.

The combination of these two intelligence capabilities is quite effective in combat against carbon-based humans who possess both magnetism and intelligence.

But in this battle, the ability failed.

As a fundamentalist organic human being, Xia Jie possesses both a life magnetic field and brainwaves, making her her natural enemy.

But the illusion created by the mirror flower and water moon can perfectly simulate both of these, to the point that every fake gives her the feeling, "Wow! This is the real thing!"

The air was silent for a few seconds.

Then Lu Ziyun smiled.

"You're a junior, I respect you."

She was out of options.

Xiaolu had to admit that this guy named Wasabi was an opponent of the same or even stronger level as her.

In particular, that strange hand chop that easily cut her in half made her realize that relying on her past skills was no longer enough. She had to discover more of her potential and develop new and effective moves to defeat this troublesome enemy.

The battle of brute force has been lost; the battle of wits begins.

So, should we use "restraint"?

Right now? Right here?

Seventeen scorch marks on the ground lit up simultaneously, faint light seeping through the cracks, the dissipated charge becoming usable again under the guidance of the tent. The Ruyi Cudgel flew back into her hand once more, its fine lightning patterns clearly visible, each line glowing.

"At the cost of me being unable to use Black Flash in this battle—"

All the clones spoke at the same time, and thousands of different words were mixed together. Each one was a different kind of constraint. In the midst of the noise, only the content of one constraint was still clear.

"—In exchange for a moderate increase in spell power efficiency."

The bondage is valid, and it is valid in its entirety.

In the next instant, thousands of clones simultaneously formed hand seals, their movements perfectly synchronized.

"Domain expansion".

Every sound carried a mysterious rhythm, and every sound made the tent a little brighter.

The residual electrical charges and spell power floating in the air seemed to come alive under the influence of the tent, transforming back into usable power.

The temperature in the air rose again, the smoke and dust were pierced by the electric arc, and the water on the ground sizzled due to the high temperature.

Within the perfectly magical environment created by the tent, the multiple realms created by the clones were able to connect and merge with each other.

"The Infernal Thunder Prison".

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space inside the tent was instantly filled with lightning, like a cube made of lightning that completely filled the street.

The ground began to crack from the concrete surface, breaking off piece by piece to expose the cement underneath, which was then scorched black in the next breath.

The building's exterior walls are crumbling. The glass has long since shattered; now it's the reinforced concrete itself's turn—lightning bolts spread upwards along the steel frame, like plant roots clinging to a wall, peeling away in patches of concrete to reveal the reddish steel bars beneath. The steel bars soften, bend, and droop under the intense heat, like a weary style.

The magic staff darted through the lightning, reaching speeds of several Mach. Each turn left a white sonic boom trail in the air before being swallowed by the lightning. Its crisscrossing trajectory sliced ​​the already dilapidated streets into even smaller fragments.

The continuous ionization should have made the air unbreathable, but fortunately, there was no room for air in the tent at this moment.

"Now let's see how you escape!"

The little deer felt like it could do it again!

Then Xia Jie appeared.

"Domain Expansion: Pure Land of Love and Devotion".

He stood right in the middle of the street, on a relatively intact section of concrete pavement, the only spot on the entire street without any obvious scorch marks. He simply stood there quietly, without even adopting a defensive posture.

The violent lightning struck him, reducing his HP to 0, but it was useless.

The first bolt of lightning struck his shoulder like raindrops falling into a lake, merging silently without even a ripple.

Then came the second, the third, the tenth... all the lightning bolts changed their nature the moment they touched him, from violent to docile, from aggressive to affectionate.

Kimi, who was breathing heavily, transformed into a docile cat, responding to the wasabi attack with a gentle, almost affectionate, whining manner.

Lu Ziyun felt herself losing control of the lightning.

That was not neutralization, but rather "transformation".

The lightning bolts automatically chose to betray him. Although they still acknowledged her authority as the creator, they thought, "Sorry, you can't stop me from going to someone better."

In short, there are cows.

What startled Xiaolu even more was that her body was leaning slightly forward, as if being pulled by some invisible force, instinctively wanting to get closer to him.

Body: Am I going to be bullied too?

The patch of ground beneath Xia Jie's feet, which could be considered intact, was preserved by him through "transformation," while everything outside of it had been reduced to scorched earth.

"This time, the real field is unfolding."

Xia Jie's heartfelt words flowed through the bonds of her soul, like a clear stream flowing into Lu Ziyun's heart, calm and serene.

"The Pure Land is not pure white, but a colorless land, a land of non-contention."

"It will not clash with or contend with your domain, but will embrace it like heaven and earth, and then influence it with gentle and sincere love."

The comments in the live stream only guessed half of it correctly. The "environment," or rather the "world," can only be remembered briefly after it has happened.

But because of the influence of love, all things that obey his command can achieve near-perfect illusions if the control is precise enough.

The first exploration of the realm was both real and fake.

That pure white, immaculate paradise was, from beginning to end, a false realm created by manipulating all things in heaven and earth.

The true Pure Land, which is without color or form, is integrated into all phenomena and has been open to this day.

It could be said that from that moment on, the little deer's failure was already destined.

Lu Ziyunyi deactivated her clone state, and thousands of figures merged into one like water, reforming into a complete person.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. The lightning receded from her body, like the receding tide, revealing the red-hot rubble that had been burned by the lightning.

She looked down at her hands, then looked up at Xia Jie.

Then she laughed.

I'm at peace with you, brothers.

I encountered a dung monster in the login square. Its NTR technique was as powerful as the monster, and I couldn't defeat it no matter how hard I tried.

"I lost this battle."

She stuck the magic staff beside her, and the iron rod sank half an inch into the scorched earth, standing there steadily.

"Give me a quick death."

The fawn spread its arms and threw itself into the ground.

Xia Jie glanced at her.

"As you wish."

He gently raised his right hand and snapped his fingers crisply.

"Snapped."

Lu Ziyunyi's body disintegrated and vanished like quicksand, first her limbs, then her torso, and finally her smiling face.

Three breaths later, only a magic staff remained, silently stuck in the scorched earth in the center of the street.

Two lines of text lit up in the noisy live stream room.

"The virtual duel has ended. The live stream will close in three seconds."

Winner: Wasabi

In the metaverse reality, players log in to the plaza.

Lu Ziyun returned via teleportation, jumping around a couple of times as if to confirm that her limbs were still attached to her body.

She was still wearing her white sports jacket, which didn't match her fighting style, and there wasn't a trace of battle damage.

"Love...?"
