The world I hear is completely different from yours.

"But I'm the one who has to do the work! Can I not ask?" Tian Qing cursed inwardly, then asked, "Um, Deputy Director, why are domestic and foreign film directors being sent to receive the alien fleet commander? And why isn't the Dragon Group or the Great Wall Defense Force responsible for assisting with the mission? It's not really appropriate for a small neighborhood committee like ours to do such an important job, is it?"

"Because the Oriental Pearl Tower is now under the jurisdiction of our Pingliang District Residents' Committee, of course our Residents' Committee has to send someone to take a look!" Mr. Crab said proudly. "As for why we sent a movie director to receive them, Xiao Qing, have you ever heard of a theory called the 'Dark Forest'?"

Tian Qing shook her head.

"Simply put, it's a prediction of the rules for coexistence among extraterrestrial beings," Mr. Krabs explained. "The gist is that since we can't judge whether extraterrestrials are like or dislike us, in order to prevent our planet from being attacked by other extraterrestrials, we should attack them as soon as we discover them, and we must never reveal information such as the location of our planet in the universe."

Mr. Krabs then added, "However, some people think this theory is stupid and decided to refute it with practical actions. Just recently, an organization called 'Movies Are King, Kill Computer Movie Watchers' launched many international blockbusters into space, and not long after, that huge alien fleet came over."

P.S. Due to recent exams, updates have been irregular, so here's a free bonus chapter. Thank you to all the readers who have been following the story.

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Witch's Night

call!call!

Amidst the ruins of the battlefield, Kiritsugu Emiya lay panting heavily, hidden beneath a pile of rubble, his body covered in blood. When gods clash, even the lesser beings suffer. During the earlier battle between Pain and the Heroic Spirits, the mere aftershocks of the battlefield were enough to overwhelm these mages, especially the recently unleashed "Shinra Tensei," whose range expanded to several kilometers around the battlefield. Faced with such a terrifying area-of-effect attack, almost all life around the battlefield perished. Only Kiritsugu Emiya, relying on his "Time Capsule," which increased his speed, managed to find cover and survive.

"Kyuu Maiya, can you hear me? Answer me!" Kiritsugu Emiya frantically called out to his assistant over the radio, but no matter how he called, there was only silence and no response. After a long while, Kiritsugu Emiya disappointedly dropped the radio he was clutching, his face filled with a dejected expression: "So... in the end, he still died?"

Now, besides the demon clones and the six expressionless Pains, only the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and Matou Kariya remain standing on the battlefield. Even Saber was defeated and died due to insufficient mana supply after Emiya Kiritsugu's Command Seals were exhausted.

"Huh?! What's going on with Matou Kariya?" Hiding in the shadow room, Ame looked at the battlefield in surprise, somewhat bewildered. "It's normal that Gilgamesh, the strongest Heroic Spirit, survived, but in the original work, Matou Kariya should just be a very weak Master, a third-rate mage who can only fight with his Berserker Baserker, right? Why are all the other Masters and Heroic Spirits dead, but this guy is still standing on the battlefield? And speaking of which, why is this man shamelessly wearing a magical girl outfit?"

"However, these two should be exhausted too!" Tian Qing judged with certainty, while raising her hand to activate a Command Spell to replenish the magic power of Rong Momo who was maintaining the small dark room: "Tohsaka Tokiomi has already been blasted into pieces by that Shinra Tensei, and Gilgamesh, having lost his Master, will soon disappear due to exhaustion of magic power. How could Matou Kariya possibly fight against the Six Paths of Pain, a copy of a demon, all by himself?"

At this moment, even Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes standing on the battlefield, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised. Looking at Kariya Matou beside him, he praised, "That cross-dressing scum over there, you're quite resilient! To be able to fight me to the very end here is an honor for you!"

"Damn it, Gilgamesh, can you praise someone in a normal way?" Matou Kariya turned around and looked at Gilgamesh, whose body was fading and about to return to the Hall of Heroes, and retorted with an annoyed look: "What? You think I would lose to them like you?"

This domineering response left Gilgamesh speechless!

"Looks like I'm doomed this time! If it weren't for the previous mission restrictions that prevented me from bringing my own weapons and equipment into this mission world, how could I have ended up like this?!" Matou Kariya looked down at the God Watch on his wrist, which no one else could see. The mission description inside was as red as blood: "Requirement to find out the cause of the error in the story world, or else be annihilated! But now that I'm in this situation, how can I possibly find out what the cause is?"

Looking at the Deva Path Pain (Whitebeard) and Animal Path Pain (Madara Uchiha) slowly walking towards him from afar, Matou Kariya gritted his teeth, took out the Soul Gem that was murky due to excessive energy consumption, and squeezed it hard!

"I'll fight to the death! Even if I die, I'll take someone down with me!" Matou Kariya's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. As a veteran reincarnator in the Main God Space, she was used to life-and-death battles and was prepared to die in battle at any time!

"Shatter the Soul Gem! The magical girl's witch transformation begins! Let me show you the final, magnificent entrance of a magical girl!" As Matou Kariya shouted madly, massive amounts of darkness surged from the Soul Gem, instantly engulfing the entire Higashiki City!

As a magical girl who made a contract with the mysterious creature Kyubey, all of Kariya Matou's power and soul were extracted from her body and merged into the Soul Gem, while her physical body became something resembling clothing. This is why magical girls possess extremely strong resistance to attacks. Therefore, this Soul Gem is Kariya Matou's true form; by constantly changing her external body, the magical girl can achieve eternal life and immortality.

Of course, the profession of magical girl isn't entirely without its side effects. Because of the loss of a physical body's energy supply, the power within the Soul Gem is constantly diminishing and becoming increasingly corrupted with each use of its power. When the Soul Gem becomes completely corrupted, the magical girl loses all her sanity and transforms into the legendary witch, thus being reclaimed by the mysterious creature Kyubey.

Previously, Kariya Matou had relied on the Main God Space to replenish the energy in her Soul Gem, thus maintaining her sanity and existence. However, since death was inevitable either way, she simply shattered the Soul Gem and prematurely began her witch transformation!

Reality Marble*Witch's Night!!

In an instant, darkness descended! A dense, profound darkness, as if it had accumulated since time immemorial, enveloped Dongmu City!

"Huh!! What's with this darkness?!" Tian Qing, hiding in the shadow room, exclaimed in surprise as she felt her body. "It not only enveloped the outside, but it even seeped into Rong Momo's shadow room! This bone-chilling, icy, and dark feeling is absolutely terrifying!"

At this moment, Tian Qing couldn't help but feel extremely fortunate that the heroic spirit she had summoned earlier was Rong Momo. If it weren't for Rong Momo's ability to hide in the dark room, which allowed Tian Qing to escape the battle, she would probably have already perished in the aftermath of the battle between various powerful figures!

Meanwhile, the many observers hiding around Eastwood City were caught off guard by the sudden appearance of darkness: "What's going on?! Why is the range of this Reality Marble so large? It's not even in the same league as the Reality Marble of that Heroic Spirit from before!! Why has such a powerful being suddenly appeared?!" Some observers who were not strong enough even began to have second thoughts!

Then, in the darkness, a song began to play.

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Mantis Stalks the Cicada, Unaware of the Oriole Behind

If magical girls represent the purest hope, then witches represent the deepest despair. When a magical girl loses all reason and transforms into a witch, a mournful song will resound—the last remnant of the magical girl's existence. When these songs end, the magical girl will cease to exist, leaving only a mindless, destructive witch monster.

Although the mournful song rising from the darkness was quite frightening, making one feel as if they had stepped into a horror movie, it meant nothing to the Pain members who had become puppets. Long before the darkness enveloped the entire Fuyuki City, these Pain members had become alert and tried to deal with the sudden darkness.

"Shinra Tensei * Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!" The first to strike was still Pain, the main damage dealer. Under his full power, the entire earth trembled violently, as if a giant hand descended from the sky and slammed into Fuyuki City like a ball. Instantly, most of the buildings in Fuyuki City were completely flattened by this one palm strike!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! A series of loud explosions rang out in the darkness, the aftershocks spreading into the distance, causing the surrounding area and even the entire island nation to tremble slightly! This attack from Pain, the Deva Path, had already revealed about 50% of his peak strength in life!

"Sage Art: Advent of the Tree World!!" "Susanoo: Perfect Form!!" Following suit, Asura Path Pain (Hashirama Senju) and Animal Path Pain (Madara Uchiha) unleashed massive area-of-effect attacks, firing wildly into the surrounding darkness! Instantly, amidst this fierce barrage, the entire ground of Fuyuki City was completely obliterated!

"Oh no! My defensive barrier can't hold up!! Help! No!" A spy hiding on the edge of Fuyuki City screamed. Under the invasion of darkness and the wide-range attacks of multiple Pains, the defensive barrier he set up around himself was instantly torn apart. He was then engulfed by the swarming area attacks. Even the Dead Apostle's strong body couldn't keep him going for much longer!

In an instant, the old monsters who were plotting to obtain the Holy Grail suffered a great loss. Those who were slightly weaker were immediately killed by this indiscriminate attack, while those who were capable of blocking the attack were also beaten into a sorry state by this sudden attack and were forced to reveal themselves from their hiding places, but they did not dare to rush forward to see what was going on.

In the darkness, a gigantic monster, as tall as a ten-story building, revealed itself with a mournful howl, crashing heavily to the ground and creating a large crater! This enormous monster, with a spider-like head, hundreds of arms, and a fish-like lower body covered in scales, now lay at the bottom of the crater, its body spurting out emerald green fluid, its hundreds of arms flailing helplessly in struggle.

Because it was in the center of the battlefield, this witch monster took the brunt of most of the area-of-effect attacks!

Thus, the witch monster, newly born in the darkness, met a tragic end. Before it could even leap around twice, it was struck by a series of area-of-effect attacks and knocked down solidly! Although these attacks from Pain could not dispel the darkness, they were effective in dealing with the creatures that created it!

Tap! Tap!

Amidst the witch's panting breaths, Pain, the white-bearded warrior, silently approached the dying witch, wielding his greatsword. He activated his Armament Haki, raising his greatsword high. The witch's emerald blood splattered everywhere! Her head was instantly cleaved in two!

Suddenly, countless pustules bulged from the witch monster's body. Looking through the translucent skin of these pustules, one could see they were filled with a toxic, murky liquid! This was the corpse explosion that occurred after the witch died. Even in death, these witches' corpses still emitted their final malice towards the world!

Boom!! A deafening explosion!!

After the witch died, the darkness that had shrouded Fuyuki City disappeared, revealing a devastated land to Ameharu. The once well-organized Fuyuki City had been mostly gone, leaving only this wasteland filled with craters from explosions and corrosive pus.

On this battlefield, several of Payne's bodies sustained varying degrees of damage, with wounds corroded by pus. Clearly, they had no time to dodge the sudden, large-scale corpse explosion.

"The speed of these Pain clones has noticeably decreased. It seems that the energy of the demon replicas is finally almost exhausted!" Tian Qing, hiding in the Shadow Room, carefully observed the movements of the Pain clones. At the same time, she signaled Rong Momo to activate the Shadow Room and sneak into the battlefield. "Although I don't know what happened to that girl in the magical girl outfit, she really helped me a lot!"

Incubating the demon egg already required a massive amount of energy, and the subsequent attacks by the demon clones were essentially a "secret stash" of energy secretly saved up before using the demon egg. Especially after several Pain members gradually awakened, the large-scale attacks further increased the energy depletion within the demon clones! Therefore, after numerous battles, the energy-depleted demon clones could no longer provide the necessary energy supply to the Pain members, resulting in a noticeable weakening of their strength!

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the demon replica squeezed out its last bit of energy and quickly summoned several Pain members to its side!

"Die! You damned bastard!" A figure suddenly leaped out of the ground, the sword in his hand gleaming! It was Fujimura Taiga! Under the mission of the main god, Matou Kariya and Fujimura Taiga, these two reincarnators, finally put aside their mutual hatred and chose to join forces!

It was precisely because of the darkness created by Matou Kariya's transformation into a witch that Fujimura Taiga had the opportunity to sneak into the vicinity of the demon replica! Within the God Watch on Fujimura Taiga's wrist, the remnant soul of a magical girl was incessantly chattering: "Go! Go! Kill this bastard! I must see this monster die with my own eyes!!"

"Shut up!!" Fujimura Taiga shouted back, slashing down with his lightsaber!

Sword energy traverses thirty thousand miles, a single sword's light chills nineteen provinces!! This is the ultimate secret of a sword-wielding magical girl!!

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Ending and the Gains

The weakness of the forbidden technique *Pain Six Paths* is obvious: the demonic clones that serve as the control center for the six puppet Pains. By bypassing the puppet Pains and directly killing the demonic clones, the summoned puppet powerhouses can be rendered inoperable.

Taking advantage of the demon clones' exhaustion after their repeated battles, Fujimura Taiga finally seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed his full power with this sword strike! Then, with the notification sound indicating mission completion, Fujimura Taiga, having exhausted all his strength, quickly initiated the exit procedure and left the mission world, without even stopping to loot the spoils.

Because in the reincarnators' perception, the instant the Witch's Night ended and the darkness enveloping Fuyuki City disappeared, those voyeurs hiding on the edge of the battlefield rushed in like vultures discovering corpses, intending to seize the opportunity to make a fortune! At the very least, they wanted to get their hands on all the survivors inside so they could interrogate them about everything concerning the "Root" and the "Holy Grail"!

Therefore, this reincarnator did not dare to waste any time. After completing the mission, he immediately chose to return to the main god space. The moment the reincarnator's figure faded and disappeared, a huge claw slammed down and almost tore through the reincarnator's body!

No one noticed that a seed fell from the corpse of the demon replica, silently merging into the shadow on the ground and landing in Tian Qing's hand, who was hiding in the shadow's dark room.

As the reincarnators left, the shield placed on Fuyuki City by the Main God Space was also lifted, and the world consciousness, which had been kept in the dark, finally became aware of the anomaly! The next moment, the vast perceptions of the world's two great restraining forces, Gaia and Alaya-vijnana, focused on Fuyuki City and lingered there for a long time!

Ignoring the clash between the world's consciousness and the prying eyes, the moment Tian Qing obtained the seed, she immediately activated another Command Spell, ordering Rong Momo to fully activate the Shadow Black Room, quickly moving away from Fuyuki City until her magic power was almost completely exhausted before stopping.

"Finally got it!" Tian Qing looked excitedly at the seed in her hand. It was a spore left behind after the demon replica was completely destroyed. It contained the most basic time travel and analytical abilities of the demon egg, essentially a reformatted, lowest-level demon egg. As long as Tian Qing possessed it, she could travel through time at her own will and enhance herself by analyzing the abilities of other worlds she could travel through.

"But why would the simplified system embedded in the Devil Egg contain instructions about the Devil replica and this spore?" Tian Qing asked, somewhat puzzled. "The original Devil Egg didn't come with any instructions; it was only when it was delivered to me that it was accompanied by an extra simplified system for my convenience. This extra simplified system on the Devil Egg must have been developed by those tech geeks from Dragon Ball. But while these tech geeks are good at programming, their actual abilities shouldn't be enough to discover the hidden secrets within this Devil Egg!"

"In other words, someone specifically requested that these explanatory documents be included so that I would understand the dangers contained within the Demon Egg and hope that I could completely control it?" Tian Qing continued to speculate. "That is to say, there were actually two factions among the higher-ups back then. One faction, harboring malicious intentions, distributed the Demon Egg to lower-level people, wanting to use these powerless grassroots individuals to reclaim the energy from the transmigrated worlds; while the other faction secretly added alarms and instructions to the system attached to the Demon Egg, hoping that these transmigrators would turn around and destroy the Demon Egg. In other words, the reason I died in my previous life was simply because I was unintentionally drawn into the struggle between two high-level factions?"

It seems I'll have another target to deal with once I return to my hometown! Tian Qing thought coldly, then swallowed the seed in one gulp. This was the correct way to use the seed; simply devour it in the form of a deity to completely absorb its power!

Instantly, Tian Qing felt countless symbols and signs flow into her mind, merging and converging to finally form a slightly dim rune within her consciousness, quietly imprinted on her mind. As the rune was completed, Tian Qing finally glimpsed the mysteries of the world and spacetime; with just a coordinate and enough energy, she could travel to another world without needing anything else.

This rune also contains the analytical and deductive abilities of the Demon Egg. Given enough energy and data, and given time to analyze and deduce, Tian Qing can consume energy to replicate the powerful abilities from those transmigrated worlds and attach them to herself. She can even replicate the characters from those transmigrated worlds who left their mark! With this analytical ability, Tian Qing, a novice just embarking on the path of divinity, has finally managed to acquire a power akin to that of a god, capable of creating something from nothing!

"As long as enough energy is provided, we can extract things that have already been analyzed in the transmigrated world, like this!" Tian Qing stretched out her left hand, and out of thin air appeared a uniform of a female high school student from Dongmu City! "Creating something with little power doesn't consume much energy, but generating equipment and abilities with great power requires a lot of energy!"

"But what exactly is this energy that is neither chakra nor magic?" Tianqing couldn't help but wonder. Having a divine artifact but not knowing how to replenish its energy was a troublesome thing!

Then Tian Qing suddenly realized that this ability to consume energy to generate powerful equipment and additional abilities from other worlds was similar to the exchangeable items and abilities in the God Realm. Could it be that these demon eggs were connected to the God Realm in some way?

"It's a pity that there isn't enough energy left in this rune to perform any more deductions and transformations. Moreover, with the death of the demon replica, all the previously stored analytical and deductive data about the One Piece and Naruto worlds has been lost. Even if there were enough energy, I wouldn't be able to summon Whitebeard, Mihawk, and other powerful figures! Otherwise, I really wanted to conjure up a whole bunch of Devil Fruits and give one to each of the ninjas in Konoha!" Tianqing muttered, using the last bit of energy to activate the time travel rune and return to the long-lost Naruto world.

..........

Exam, requesting leave

There were exams all day today, so there were no updates. That's all.

That's all for now. I need to go eat and study right away to prepare for the afternoon exam. Although the top student taught me a lot, some things ultimately depend on myself.

After all, for students, grades are everything; a good grade can be worth many things.

That's it, no updates today.

Chapter One: I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East!

As the smoke dissipated, the sky cleared, and the sky reappeared in a forest. Breathing in the fresh air unique to the forest, I felt a sense of exhilaration. It wasn't because "the moon in Konoha is rounder than in other worlds," but simply because Konoha has a higher vegetation coverage and a higher oxygen content in the air.

Unlike the previous time travel controlled by the Demon Egg, this time Tian Qing used the power of the rune within her consciousness to travel herself. Therefore, she was quite unfamiliar with the specific details and even made some minor mistakes in a few steps. While this didn't mean she couldn't return, it did waste a lot of unnecessary time during the travel process.

"Finally back! I didn't expect that traveling through time by myself would be so troublesome! By the way, where am I now?" Tian Qing muttered, stretching her limbs and looking around.

The surrounding area was a dense forest, and the forest was completely silent. Not even the howl of birds or beasts could be heard, and there was no trace of the familiar Konoha Village.

"Huh? What's going on? Did I choose the wrong location to travel to?" Tianqing muttered in confusion. "I clearly set the location to the edge of Konoha Village. Could it be that I made a mistake in the travel operation and selected a different time point?"

In every different world, time flows at a different speed. For example, a moment may have passed in one world, but a whole month may have passed in another. As the saying goes, "A day in heaven is a year on earth," which vividly illustrates the huge time difference between many different worlds.

Therefore, for those who travel between different worlds, adjusting to their time zone is extremely important. And for those who use their own powers to travel, they must pay extra attention to adjusting the time they enter other worlds to avoid the embarrassing situation of traveling at the wrong time.

For example, in one failed attempt, a plagiarist wanted to travel to ancient times to experience the life of a literary giant, surrounded by fervent female fans—even the reigning empress was a fan. He even memorized a vast collection of Tang and Song dynasty poems as a backup plan. However, he accidentally chose the wrong time to travel to primitive society. Not only was he constantly exposed to wind and rain, but he was also forced to hunt for food. His original plan to plagiarize poems to impress female fans was completely out of the question. Centuries later, scholars discovered that the oracle bone inscriptions carved on tortoise shells contained not only many well-known Tang and Song dynasty poems, but also the cry of a time traveler longing to return home.

Therefore, to reiterate, for those who use their own power to travel through time, choosing the right time to travel is an extremely important matter.

"There shouldn't be too many problems!" Tian Qing nervously glanced at the surrounding vegetation. "There are only ordinary herbaceous plants around, and no ferns, so at least I don't have to worry about encountering any dinosaurs or anything like that!"

As for figuring out where he was, that was a simple problem for Tian Qing. He activated his Listening ability! Let this druid listen carefully to the thoughts of the surrounding trees!

"My first question is, have you ever heard of the name Konoha Village?" Tian Qing asked. As the leading power among the five great ninja villages, Konoha Village is renowned worldwide for its safety and wealth. Many ordinary people even consider immigrating to Konoha Village their ultimate life goal, and they often talk about the village with great interest. Therefore, during the era of the five great ninja villages, these plants and trees should have heard of the name "Konoha Village" to some extent, right?

The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were silent.

"Then let's change the subject. Have you ever seen a ninja?" Tian Qing asked again, gesturing to the shape of a ninja's kunai and headband. Whether they'd ever heard of Konoha or not, they must have at least seen ninjas, right? Even if I'd traveled to the wrong place and era, as long as I'm still in an era with ninjas, I'm perfectly content!

But when faced with Tian Qing's second question, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees remained silent.

Huh? I've never even seen a ninja before? Tianqing suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Then let's ask another question. Have you ever seen humans before? You mean two-legged creatures like me wearing clothes?" Tian Qing asked again, exasperated. Even if you haven't seen ninjas, you must have at least seen humans, right? If it's not even the era of ninjas, then at least make sure I've traveled to a human-dominated era. I don't want to end up in the ancient times when primitive humans and other intelligent life forms were vying for world dominance!

This time, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees finally spoke up!

"I've seen it! I've seen it! A two-legged creature came by and chopped down my favorite, strong tree! We were about to exchange pollen with him!" a flowering tree cried out tearfully.

"I've seen it too! There was even a two-legged creature picking flowers everywhere, and it even stuck the flower that I had just pollinated onto another two-legged creature's head! The other creature's flower was about to bear fruit!" a little flower angrily scolded.

Suddenly, the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees began a public denunciation meeting, denouncing the evil deeds of the two-legged beasts!
