The shuttle in the second dimension

　"What on earth just happened——" Erica (hx) murmured as she stared blankly at the scene in front of her. In her eyes, the scene in front of her was too inconsistent, as if it had been deleted for a certain period of time. It was full of a strong sense of incongruity that made it difficult for people to adapt.

　"Could it be——" As if she remembered something, Lily's face showed a look of shock.

　"Kid, I didn't expect you still had this trick up your sleeve, not bad!!! Then take my power, but don't die before I come again!!!" After leaving a high-spirited declaration, Mekal disappeared and returned to his mythology, leaving behind only a devastated land.

　"I won———" Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, leaning on the Xuanyuan Sword. When he shut down all his powers, a wave of weakness washed over him, causing him to stumble and nearly fall to the ground.

　"Uh——" Lin Xuan felt his vision gradually darken, and he smiled bitterly. "As expected, my body still can't adapt to the second stage of the newly comprehended [Unyielding Lord of Arms] for the first time. Add to that the strain on my body from using [Master of Time] and [Above the Origin of All Things] for the first time, and I'm about to faint——"

　Just as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. With a "bang", he fainted in the ruins.

Chapter 40: Farewell Pandora and the Plunder of Power

　“I think I fainted during the battle with Mekal—”

　'Then what should I do now——' Lin Xuan gradually regained consciousness and began to think until he woke up.

　"Ah? Are you awake already?"

　Just when Lin Xuan was about to open his eyes, such a playful, cute and childish voice came into Lin Xuan's ears.

　Lin Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and then a childish yet charming face came into his sight.

　Lin Xuan had seen that face once, and it wasn't long ago.

　"Pandora?"

　Surprisingly, it was Pandora, the reborn mother of all godslayers.

　"Welcome once again to the astral realm of life and death, my lovely son."

　Pandora looked at Lin Xuan with a smile, her obviously young face was filled with fatal temptation.

　"After seeing you successfully slay the God King Mekar, my child, Mom was so happy—I couldn't help but drag you into the Astral Realm—"

　"Is that so? But I also have to thank the God King. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be able to experience the kind of battle that intoxicated me, and I wouldn't be able to comprehend the second stage of my power." Lin Xuan smiled, clenching his fist.

　"That's great, you are worthy of being my pride——————" Pandora said playfully while hugging Lin Xuan.

　“It’s okay—”

　But the next moment, I felt dizzy, and my consciousness and vision began to blur.

　"Ah, it seems the time has come again——"

　Before completely losing consciousness, Lin Xuan heard Pandora's muttering.

　"You must become stronger as soon as possible, my child."

　······Requesting flowers·····

　When Lin Xuan woke up, a strange ceiling appeared in front of him.

　"here----??"

　Lin Xuan sat up and looked around. "Lily must have brought me here. Oh, right, the power I gained this time..."

　After saying that, Lin Xuan began to check the new powers he had obtained.

　[Roar of the Sky] has the power to control the sky and can bring about the power of storms, heavy rains, lightning, and other natural disasters.

　Word Spirit: Storms (violent winds, whether typhoons, hurricanes, or tornadoes), heavy rain, thunder and lightning, and even the sky are all my sharp blades that can help me tear apart my enemies.

　"[Thunderbolt] and [Roar of the Sky] overlap—" Pondering the similarities and differences between the two powers, Lin Xuan suddenly came up with an idea. "If I could allow [Thunderbolt] to plunder [Roar of the Sky] within my body, then—" Lin Xuan's eyes lit up with joy, as if seeing a possibility.

　"Let's give it a try——" This thought spread uncontrollably in Lin Xuan's mind.

　"Plunder it——" Lin Xuan activated the power hidden deep inside his body, and his body and mind began to immerse himself in it.

　A strange feeling began to arise in Lin Xuan's body. Inside his body, [Thunderbolt] began to plunder the power of [Roar of the Sky].

　Then a similar feeling kept washing over Lin Xuan's mind, making him feel uncomfortable. This feeling lasted for only five minutes before it began to subside.

　"Huh——————This doesn't feel good." After taking a breath, Lin Xuan couldn't wait to check the power in his body.

　[Sky's Roar]: Created by plundering [Sky's Roar] with [Thunderbolt]. Controls the power of thunder, storms (violent winds, including typhoons, hurricanes, and tornadoes), and heavy rain, with the power of thunder being the most prominent. The player can even transform into thunder or storms.

　Word Spirit: I am the sky. My roar will turn into thunder, storm and rain. Anyone who resists me will have their body shattered by my roar and their life destroyed.

　"The effect is unexpectedly good——————" Lin Xuan said with some emotion, feeling very satisfied with his behavior this time.

　"It seems I understand the path I will take in the future." After tasting the sweetness, Lin Xuan also understood the path to becoming stronger in the future. "Six powers, to unleash their full power, I think it will take me quite a while——"

　At this moment, the door was pushed open, and then Lily, dressed in blue and black casual clothes, came in from outside.

　"Hey——Lily"

　“You’re awake—”

　"Well, how long have I been unconscious?" Lin Xuan asked after climbing out of bed and pouring himself a glass of water.

　"It won't take long, just half a day," Lily replied after putting the prepared clothes on the bed.

　After finishing the boiled water in the cup, Lin Xuan said, "Half a day? It really wasn't long. Oh, right! Has the eighth king woken up?"

　"It seems that he hasn't woken up yet——"

　"Really? Then forget about him. Let's pack up. I'm about to go back. Will you go back with me, Lily?" Lin Xuan turned around and asked with a smile, putting the thing in his hand on the bedside.

　"As your knight, I will follow you forever as long as you swear allegiance to me." Lily said seriously as she saluted Lin Xuan.

　"Lily, you are still too serious, although you are very cute." Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head helplessly.

　"Okay, Lily, you go out first. I'll change my clothes, or - do you want to stay~~~~~~" Looking at Lily with a serious face, Lin Xuan couldn't help but teasing Lily.

　Her face suddenly turned red, Lily glared at Lin Xuan fiercely, and then left the room.

　After Lily left, Lin Xuan looked at himself in the mirror and murmured, "It's not enough, my strength is——————"

Chapter 41 Return

　This is a very busy airport with people coming and going.

　Although the location is some distance away from Lin Xuan's residence, this airport is the nearest airport nearby.

　As people got off the plane one by one, the people around to greet them chatted and laughed with each other enthusiastically, and walked towards the airport exit hand in hand. It was very lively.

　But the next moment, the noise in the airport suddenly became much weaker.

　At the airport, almost everyone turned their gaze in one direction, as if attracted by something, and subconsciously shut their mouths (hx).

　There, a girl with a delicate face like a fairy walked forward with strong steps, facing everyone's gaze.

　Next to the girl, there was a young man with a smile on his face walking side by side with her. Although he was not as stunning as the girl, the boy's clean and refreshing face also attracted the attention of most women.

　The young boy and girl were Lin Xuan and Lily who had returned from Sardinia.

　"Everyone in this airport has attracted your attention, Lily," Lin Xuan said to Lily beside him with a smile.

　"No——I think all the women's eyes are on you."

　"No, no, no, I think they saw me after they saw you."

　"Should we speed up our pace? Lin Xuan," Lily suggested, seeming to dislike being stared at like this.

　"Well, I don't really like the feeling of being stared at either." After thinking about it, Lin Xuan found that he really didn't like the feeling of being watched by others, so he agreed with Lily's suggestion.

　As the two of them stepped out of the airport, a black car stopped in front of them. The driver got out of the car, bowed deeply to Lin Xuan, and then opened the door for him.

　"Good - you are well-informed, which is commendable." With a slight smile, Lin Xuan stepped into the car.

　"Seven Heroes Shrine——" After Lily got in the car, Lin Xuan said to the driver, and the driver didn't say anything, but just drove silently.

　·····Requesting flowers·······

　Looking at the stone steps that he hadn't seen for a while and the shrine above it reminded Lin Xuan of the first time he and Yuri met, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

　"Let me take you to see someone, Lily——" With the silver-haired girl, Lin Xuan once again climbed the stone steps with traces of history.

　"After all, we'll be together often in the future——"

　Shichio Shrine

　A young girl was sitting on a small wooden bench in front of the shrine. She was probably about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a very standard shrine maiden costume, and her beautiful long hair was draped behind her. Under the sunlight, it sparkled with beautiful colors and luster.

　The girl is now sitting quietly on a small wooden stool, supporting her little head with her hands, looking into the distance.

　But the next moment, the girl stopped what she was doing and stood up.

　Standing in front of her was a young boy of similar age to her. He was wearing a white casual shirt and dark blue jeans that fit tightly around his long legs. With his clean, handsome face and a smile always on his lips, he gave people the refreshing feeling of a sunny boy.

　The breeze gently blew across their faces, lifting their soft hair.

　"Hello, long time no see——Yuri~~~~" The boy greeted Yuri with a joking tone.

　“Lin Xuan————?” Tilting his head slightly, Yuri looked at the young man named Lin Xuan in front of him with some doubt.

　Looking at the puzzled girl in front of him, Lin Xuan said with a comforting smile, "I'm back——"

　However, things did not develop in the normal direction, so there was no scene of the girl throwing herself into the boy's arms with tears in her eyes. Instead, there was only the girl's face gradually becoming darker.

　"Hey!! There's something wrong with this painting style————" Looking at Yuri's face that was gradually getting darker, Lin Xuan subconsciously took a step back and complained with some guilt.

　Lin Xuan's retreat revealed Lily, who was standing not far behind him, and as a result, Yuri's face became even gloomier.

　"Mr. Lin Xuan - can you explain to me where you have been going recently?" Like the calm before the storm, Yuri's words were full of a suppressed calmness that made Lin Xuan's right eyelid twitch and cold sweat break out.

　"Oh my god, I should have checked the almanac before coming back————" If it was before the time travel, Lin Xuan still thought that the thing was a scam, and only those superstitious people would believe in it. But after really traveling through time, Lin Xuan felt that taking the thing might be of some use. Ah Xi————even the thing of gods exists, so it is not difficult to believe that the almanac can be believed————

　"Well, I suddenly wanted to travel those days, so I asked the official history compilation committee to make some arrangements. I asked them to tell you, didn't you know—haha—"

　"If you were traveling, then why did the news spread that you had killed a god again——and in that place——"

　"Haha——I don't know either, maybe it's a coincidence. You see, before I became a godslayer, I also went traveling, and then I met two disobedient gods, didn't I——" As if he felt that his words were true enough, Lin Xuan brought out his own past examples and said.

　"Then do you know how dangerous that is!!!!" Like a suppressed spring rebounding, Yuri shouted at Lin Xuan

　"You know exactly how much disaster that person would cause if you succeeded. You know exactly how dangerous that person is. Why did you still conduct the experiment?! ! ! ! Could it be that you... wuu ...

　He extended his right index finger and placed it in front of Yuri's alluring red lips, which made Yuri's words come to an abrupt halt. Lin Xuan's expression was a little unnatural.

　“Hey, Yuri, this matter has passed, let’s not talk about it anymore. Besides, how much do you think the gods are attractive to godslayers, especially to godslayers who are desperate for power? This is like asking a hungry beast to let go of the food in front of it. It’s impossible. So, please tolerate my willfulness this time.
