next moment……

【Carlos Hilde!!!】

The magical name, symbolizing 'trigger,' was chanted by Hedin in a deep voice.

"Swish swish~"

A barrage of lightning bolts, like a well-organized army, enveloped the [Twin Stars] directly in front of him.

Faced with this offensive...

"Perfect timing, let's test my newly developed 'self-developed capability'."

Ling Shu (Kong), who had been temporarily teleported here to help after Ying decided to accept the 'challenge', showed an eager smile.

Immediately afterwards, he was seen kneeling on the ground, and as the crystal ornaments on his body all changed and shone with a dark gold color, he slammed one hand on the ground...

"Earth (Rock) Escape - Earthquake Core -"

"Boom!"

The short, useless incantation, which was entirely meant to be a joke, had barely begun when it was completely drowned out by the commotion on the ground.

Suddenly, the ground around Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying seemed to have been concealed by a hidden elevator platform, and suddenly dropped several meters into the ground in a square grid pattern with sides of seven meters.

In just a moment, the makeshift 'trench' was formed.

"Bang bang bang~"

Although Hedin's barrage of lightning was dense, it did not ultimately possess the speed of real lightning.

Otherwise, his move would have become truly unavoidable and invincible.

In short, precisely because the lightning barrage wasn't traveling so fast that it arrived in an instant... at least given the considerable distance between the two sides, the Twin Stars had ample time to react and make an effective response.

and so……

"Crackling sound~"

The ground was riddled with pits of all sizes.

In many places, lava flows have even been observed.

At the beginning of the war, Hedin's probing attack yielded no tangible results.

However, the 'Black and White Swords' are not just one person.

Suddenly...

The feast continues, the slaughter never ceases—

Almost at the same time as Hedin made his move, Hegni revealed his black robe, concealing himself in the light of the lightning barrage, and charged forward together.

Even as the surrounding ground was being bombarded by lightning barrages, he gripped his black sword tightly and leaped into the air, simultaneously using the 'parallel chanting' technique to recite his own short incantation.

In an instant, jet-black light began to flow across the blade of the sword in his hand.

Continuously building momentum.

at last……

【Dainslev!!!】

"Om~"

The jet-black sword wave, like the Getsuga Tenshou from Bleach, shot straight down into the trench below.

"!"

Level 6 magic cannot be blocked by ordinary earthen walls... Ling Shu (Kong) had already confirmed this with 'Elemental Vision'.

That's why he used his self-developed ability, the 'Earthquake Core,' to 'dodge' in an unconventional way.

But now, the trenches that have formed in an instant have instead restricted his and Ying's hiding space.

The jet-black sword wave slashed straight down from the sky...

[Stars gather here—]

"Boom!"

Within the deep pit, which seemed to be trapped by its own actions, the violent explosion caused by the black sword wave directly led to the collapse of the interior.

but……

"Whew~ That was close!"

Not far away, on the ground, three figures stood calmly.

Among them, located between Ling Shu (Kong) and Ying is Xiao, who has the ability to 'teleport'.

"As expected, it's still a bit difficult to fight against a high-value Lv.6."

Ling Shu (Kong) thought to himself, "But I've pretty much got a grasp on their attack rhythm."

"Let's begin the counterattack."

Chapter 159 Metamorphosis

For Ling Shu (Kong), the ongoing battle did not put him under too much pressure.

Even when facing two Level 1 adventurers who had already advanced to Lv.6 and successfully entered the 'Heroic Realm', he was confident that with the help of the 'Genshin Impact Descent' magic, he could easily win.

however……

"null."

Having just arrived and having been focused on learning close combat techniques from the Emperor, Ling Shu (Kong) hadn't paid much attention to the events unfolding here, only knowing that Hedin had 'ulterior motives.' Ying then offered a word of advice:

"In this battle, however, we must not rely on the power of 'Genshin Impact'."

"Ok?"

The telepathic message transmitted through the mental link startled his physical body for a moment. "Why?"

He didn't think he was the kind of person who would dwell on trivial matters, or have a peculiar and troublesome personality.

The kind of nonsense that says things like "that's not your own power" just sounds like a weird attempt to artificially elevate one's understanding.

To draw legs on a snake is to bind one's own hands and feet.

Power is power. Does that mean that John Wick in "John Wick" is killing people with a shotgun, and that he should be criticized for having a gun instead of achieving the effect of "Ong-Bak" with his bare hands?

'Use' is the greatest weapon that mankind relies on for survival.

Making the best use of resources, and then, under the premise of perfect self-control, maximizing their efficiency... that in itself is an achievement.

Discovery, exploration, innovation, integration... it is through these characteristics that humankind has gradually broken free from the constraints of the food chain.

The best 'weapon' is in your own hands, so why can't you use it?

This is a true reflection of Ling Shu's (Kong's) inner thoughts.

however……

"This battle is not the kind of fight where it has to be a fight to the death."

Within the mental link, Ying continued to communicate telepathically: "I don't think we should tie our own hands when facing the enemy, but right now... I have a feeling."

"By taking matters into your own hands, you might discover some unexpected gains in the process."

Ying once felt that 'her current self' was missing something important.

She originally thought the problem lay in her own 'birth' process.

After all, a clone of the same origin that is a replica of the original body is, to put it bluntly, like Ling Shu in the past, who had an extra chance to be 'reborn'.

However, the 'new life' that takes shape at this time will be named: Ying, Fischl, Diona, Xiao...

"That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Traveler or a Genshin Impact Player" + "Having Traveled Through N Different Worlds, I've Lived N Different Lives"

That's about it...

Within this grand scheme, each clone, including Ying, and Ling Shu, the 'original body,' will establish a hive-like consciousness with the latter taking absolute priority.

This is the origin of 'spiritual link'.

With it, Ling Shu can choose to have normal conversations with his clones, or instantly send messages, share senses... and even share memories.

Once the 'favorability' is maxed out, the main body's consciousness descends, and each clone will be like a 'Herrscher' in the Honkai world, with one consciousness dormant and the other manifesting on the surface, controlling its own actions.

A typical 'Please, another me' situation.

However, in this state...

Only Ying is without 'original consciousness'.

Yes, although strictly speaking, Ying is also one of Ling Shu's clones, she is the only one who manifested in the world through the 'Airborne Firefly' clone transformation magic, and does not fall under the category of 'Genshin Impact' summoning.

So……

"Since you insist, I'll just consider it as 'entering the abyss and taking a debuff'."

Ling Shu (Kong) did not continue to refute Ying's opinion.

Right now, although he hasn't shared his memories with the latter, there are some things... that he doesn't need to ask too deeply about.

She felt that doing this would be more 'profitable', so let her be willful this once.

After all, as Ying said: this is not a fight to the death.

But it must be said that...

Ling Shu's decision was not entirely out of 'consideration'.

He still has a playful side to him.

And the latter...

Perhaps this is the root cause of the fact that Ying is 'missing something important'.

******

Meanwhile, not far away...

"Is that what they call 'Genshin Impact'?"
