Zhai Nan met up with Xiang Tai and hid far away behind another building, each watching this thrilling supernatural battle with mixed feelings.
Fortunately, this isn't some distant China. No ordinary people in the neighborhood are foolish enough to set up cameras to watch. Instead, they all lock their doors, practically blocking them with their beds, staying cowardly at home and only daring to peek from afar through their windows.
Tina trudged through the shattered ruins, step by step, toward the wasteland.
The Wasteland God's avatar, of course, did not die, nor was it so easily killed. It rose from the collapsed ruins, and the bullet wound that pierced its body quickly healed and recovered as dark mud flowed in.
Wasteland turned around, fear flashing in his eyes as he looked at Tina, and uttered a sinister, low voice: "And who are you!"
Although she didn't know why she used "again," Tina still raised the SVD sniper rifle with one arm without any hesitation, pointing the dark muzzle at the wasteland.
"Heh heh, is this all the kind of attack you can use? You should know that it can't hurt me!" Wasteland mocked.
Given this guy's body structure, which is made of mud, gunpowder attacks are indeed not much of a threat. Tina didn't reply, but instead asked, "Do you know an old saying from China?"
"Celestial Empire? Is it some kind of organization in Heaven...? What ancient saying is that?"
The SVD sniper rifle in her hand vanished into thin air. Tina spun around, and what reappeared in her hand was the 'M202 FLASH' shoulder-mounted heavy missile launcher. In the virtual space behind her, four smaller missile launchers were also floating.
"The villain... died from talking too much."
boom--!!!!
Enraged fire serpents, surging air currents, and rockets and missiles imbued with intense destructive power all simultaneously hurtled towards the wasteland like a hurricane. The sheer force and power of the attack were unexpectedly terrifying. The fire-attribute attacks, carrying destructive power, reminded the wasteland of a sixth-tier Holy Fire Mage from another world.
In a moment of horror, Wasteland covered his face with his arms. Clumps of dark red, foul soil, as if dug out from some abyss, quickly solidified into a circular earthen wall in front of him.
However, the defenses built by the wasteland were completely inadequate in the face of Tina's [Battlefield Bombing]. The missiles crashed into the earthen walls and exploded at extremely high temperatures, disintegrating as easily as a giant hammer hitting bricks. Many more missiles even flew over the earthen walls and exploded on and around the wasteland. Scorching sparks and flying shrapnel enveloped the wasteland, instantly turning the clayman into a sieve riddled with holes.
Sparks still burned on those wounds. This time, Wasteland did not use mud to heal the wounds, or rather, it could not heal them. The countless missile fragments that had been fired into and remained in his body seemed to be engraved with the most vicious curse, causing Wasteland to suffer the torment of thousands of degrees of heat inside his body at all times.
"You...go to hell!!"
Wasteland's eyes were fierce. Despite the pain, it did not fall, just to rush towards Tina as soon as the missile attack ended. Its huge body ran at the speed of a Hummer. Wasteland raised its fists and smashed them down on Tina.
As Tina released the missile launcher, the super-heavy weapon mysteriously vanished into thin air. A gust of wind and a putrid stench assaulted her senses. With a nimble leap, Tina pulled out a silver-black Winchester M1887 shotgun from the imaginary space.
The renowned repeating shotgun.
Lightning-fast loading, two shots in a second, bullets burst from the black muzzle, forming a fan-shaped serpentine dance of flames that devoured the wasteland.
The terrifying recoil sent Tina leaping backward an even greater distance. Bullets tore through the wind and shattered raindrops. In addition to its high-burst attack, the Manchester shotgun also had an even stronger forced knockback effect, pushing the oncoming wasteland back several steps.
While Tina was still in mid-air and hadn't had time to land, the shotgun in her hand had somehow transformed into a gleaming silver laser cannon. The six indicator lights on the barrel lit up one by one, and in the blink of an eye, it was fully charged. The azure light filled the dark cave entrance, and finally turned into a dazzling beam of light, wrapped around the lightning snake, and burst forth!
The dim world was illuminated as if by a long-lasting lightning bolt, and the destructive light cannon, carrying extremely high temperatures, blasted the wasteland into the sunken and collapsed underground.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle —
A burst of air-to-ground laser cannon fire lasted for three seconds.
The reason is simple: the interaction force generated by the laser beam impacting the ground allows Tina to remain in the air and continue attacking.
Regardless of whether a certain coffin can hold it down, for the world of reincarnation, and for Ti Ri Tian, there is never any need for any bullshit physical laws!
The laser cannon retracted into space, and Tina landed lightly with a somersault before standing up as if nothing had happened. In her line of sight, the wasteland that had taken the full damage from the laser cannon had been blasted into nothingness by the destructive beam, leaving only a charred, sunken, and collapsed ground with wisps of white smoke rising gracefully.
Tina's crimson eyes narrowed. If anyone else were present, they would have noticed that a lot of binary code was rapidly appearing in Tina's eyes, just like the eyes of an android in a science fiction movie.
Tina's technology and equipment all come from a world called [Closers], a high-tech world where the main focus of the technology tree is technology and the secondary focus is superpowers. At this moment, the light projection of another frequency refracted by her eyes can even penetrate dimensions and see souls.

With her soul bullet loaded and the automatic pistol aimed at a void ahead, Tina's crimson pupils reflected the trembling soul of the Wasteland God's avatar. She spoke softly:
"You can't escape."

[PS1, two more great chapters today! Of course, it's because you guys were awesome too! This is my first time writing a battle scene with Tina, so I was very careful and put a lot of effort into it. I hope it suits your taste, and I also hope you guys can give me some better suggestions~]
[PS2, please don't tear up the monthly pass! Give it to me! How can I humiliate Xiaoyue-chan if you tear it up?!]
[PS3, trying to adhere as closely as possible to the original "Dragon Maid" theme, with very few original elements added. After all, adding original elements would make the story incomprehensible and confuse the relationships. "Wasteland God" is one example.]
[PS4, thank you for your support, please add to your favorites, give monthly tickets, and recommend! I want you to keep humiliating me forever!]
[Did Ta14 get confessed to?]
You can't escape.
A simple sentence, devoid of any emotion.
When it reached the ears of the wasteland, it sounded like a death warrant specifically issued to him by Hades.
It was puzzled and even more terrified. Before it was just a girl who looked like a human, yet she could unleash such terrifying combat power. An ordinary person would probably have a hard time even lifting that laser cannon, right? And she could jump up and bombard the ground like that?
And... where did those terrifying firearms come from? Spatial magic? Unbelievable! Even in that world, the most difficult-to-comprehend spatial laws were rare. How could they exist in the human world!
What's hardest to accept is... she can even see souls? Judging from the confidence in her calm expression, it seems that this shot really will cause her soul to be scattered.
"No...don't kill me!"
The Wasteland God's avatars are not merely avatars; they are independent entities separated from the Wasteland God, possessing independent power, independent consciousness, and independent souls. However, because their souls are connected, the Wasteland God has a clear understanding of the memories of every Wasteland avatar.
The Wasteland God's avatar, or more accurately, his henchman, lay prostrate on the ground, its soul pointed at by the cold muzzle of a gun. It felt a chilling fear, as if it had fallen into an ice cellar, and couldn't help but plead, "As long as you don't kill me... I promise... I promise I won't let the great Wasteland God take revenge on you!"
It seems the adorable but clueless wastelander hasn't figured out his stance yet.
"Have you finished your last words?" Tina's eyes were indifferent, and her slender fingers were about to pull the trigger.
"No, no! I haven't finished! Let me go, and I'll give you the entire thirty-mile-long Death Basin that the Wasteland God of that world bestowed upon me! Plus a one-hectare garden of carnivorous flowers—that's all my wealth!"
"Keep it for yourself."
"Yamete!!"
Bang! With an extremely faint gunshot, the pitch-black bullet left the barrel, and amidst the wind resistance, an even deeper black light emerged from the black bullet head, bursting out with an eerie power that wounded the soul.
The trajectory, which was originally straight, tilted violently as it approached the wasteland soul, and finally struck the ground next to the wasteland, bouncing away with a "ding".
"Ok?"
With Tina's honed marksmanship and computer-like precision, this shot would not have missed under any circumstances without external interference. However, there was indeed a powerful spiritual force that forcibly changed the bullet's original trajectory.
"Wait a minute!" A familiar voice came from overhead.
The figure landed, revealing herself to be an adorable ancient-style dragon girl. She wore a blue priest's robe, with a strange tail resembling both a dragon and a jiao (a type of Chinese dragon) sticking out. She held a sea dragon trident, and the sky-blue dragon horns on her forehead shimmered with blue magical light.
Upon seeing Tina, the dragon girl looked completely bewildered. In this situation, her first words were: "...Did you cover for me...?"
“…Just got off work.” Although Tina’s expression was blank, Elma could clearly see a hint of resentment in her eyes.
That's right, this dragon girl is none other than Elma, the sea dragon from the Order of Balance faction, whom Tina asked to fill in for her this morning.
"Uh, I don't even know your name yet?" Elma scratched her head awkwardly.
"Tina."
"Aww, Tina-chan? That's a lovely name. Oh, by the way, my name is Ai..."
"Erma".
"Eh?" Elma wanted to ask Tina how she knew.
"Work ID." Tina thought to herself that she should have just let this stupid dragon introduce himself instead of explaining.
"What... happened here?" Looking at the charred remains of the ground, scorched by firearms, and the burning ruins around her, it looked like a large-scale gang shootout had taken place. Elma blinked, asking with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.
Good heavens! Elma finally got to the point.
"It tried to take Shota away, but I killed it." Tina made no attempt to hide anything.
Fortunately, this dragon's thought process is completely different from that of a normal person. Ordinary people would be extremely shocked and incredulous, but Elma's was much simpler.
"Tina-chan... is really strong!"
"...Could you help restore Shota's house to its original state later?" Tina asked as she handed her work pass back to Erma.
"Piece of cake, leave it to me!" Eruma put away her work pass, still grateful to Tina for filling in for her, and naturally agreed without hesitation.
……
The wasteland soul beside him was caught in a dilemma: whether to leave or stay. Seeing the two of them chatting away for so long without paying any attention to him, he also considered sneaking away.
Then, as soon as it moved, a sea dragon trident flew over and slammed into its path with a clang. A powerful blue magic surged from the trident's blades like flowing water, forming a water cage that trapped it.
The wasteland soul wants to say "mmp" (a vulgar expression of frustration).
Actually, Elma and Tina's attention had been partly focused on the wasteland, and since they'd already gone around in circles, it was time to get back to the main topic.
Looking back at the events, Elma had already noticed the invasion of the wasteland this morning, so she asked Tina to take over while she went to clear the wasteland, which is the basic duty of a 'good dragon'.
It turns out there were three wastelands, but they were discovered by Elma as soon as they arrived in the human world. Fighting them was impossible; even ten wasteland clones couldn't defeat the sea dragon Elma unless the God of Wastelands himself intervened. So, the wasteland creatures quickly split into three groups and fled.
Three routes?! For Elma, who suffers from decision-making anxiety, even two routes were difficult to choose from. Upon seeing a three-way strategy, Elma panicked and immediately used her ultimate move, instantly killing two of them. To make matters worse, their souls were also annihilated.
The last one was hiding in a garbage truck, trembling with fear, and narrowly escaped death. Elma searched for it all day but found nothing.
Now, the last wasteland has finally been found. Although Tina has destroyed his physical body, fortunately his soul is still intact.
"Tell me, who is the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Shota?" Erma asked with a stern expression.
"Of course, it's the great God of Darkness!"
Damn! (crossed out) He actually admitted it without hesitation. Is this your mole?
"Um, isn't he the God of the Wasteland?" Elma muttered to herself.
"No, no, no, are you the wasteland or am I the wasteland? If I say I'm the God of Darkness, then I am the God of Darkness." This wasteland villain had no intention of keeping a secret and wanted to reveal everything.
"Then let's just call him the God of Darkness, shall we?" Wait a minute, you silly little sea dragon, can you please stop with such a 'just' approach?
Erma then asked, "But why did the God of Darkness want you to kidnap Shota?"
Tina suddenly interrupted, raising her hand and staring at the wasteland soul: "Let me ask you a question first, is the God of Darkness the one who secretly gave Ercoya a cursed drink a long time ago, causing Ercoya to have indescribable feelings for his sister, and later caused Ercoya to lose his godhood because of this?"
"That's a very good question. Indeed, the God of Darkness is the one who indirectly stripped Quetzalcoatl of her divine status. That's why the two gods are always at odds. This time, Quetzalcoatl returned and, in the name of maintaining order, wiped out half of the God of Darkness's Netherworld army, which enraged the God of Darkness. She wanted to use Shota to threaten and punish her, so she ordered the God of Wasteland to send us to kidnap Shota."
"But how could the God of Darkness know about the relationship between Ercoa and Shota?" Elma pondered again, troubled.
