Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

After two gunshots, the member of the dark faction who tried to attack Ais in the dark was shot in the head. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and nodded to express her gratitude, and then went to support the Amazon sisters who were fighting the mad monster.

Liu, who had just killed the enemy controlling the monster, couldn't help but frown at the sight, his tone tinged with a sourness he didn't even notice: "You really are always paying attention to Aisi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Huai suddenly pointed the gun at her.

"boom!"

The bullet flew into the wall behind her that suddenly cracked, killing the assassin who was trying to launch a sneak attack with a dagger.

Mu Huai turned the gun in his right hand and replied with a smile: "I'm watching you too~"

"I, I didn't let you see it!"

Liu put on a hood to hide his flushed cheeks, drew out the weapon at his waist that looked like a wooden sword but was actually a staff, and chanted magic to provide assistance to the members of Loki's family in the distance.

Chapter 44 The useless elf is beginning to show its true colors.

The group killed countless monsters and members of the dark faction in a crimson artificial maze that seemed to be endless. Except for Livilia, Liu and Mu Huai who had long-range attack methods, the rest of the people were all stained red and then black with blood.

During this period, they also captured an evil god named Ikelos. After questioning, they found out that this guy was the poacher clan leader who organized the clan to go to the dungeon to capture heretics. The reason why he did this was very simple: because it was fun.

Mu Huai took out the Blade of Hestia and stabbed him severely, then Ikelos was forcibly sent back to the realm of the gods. The Blade of Hestia, bathed in the blood of the gods, was stained with scarlet, as if it was undergoing some unknown evolution.

"It's a shame. If Ikelos had been more courageous and preferred to die in the netherworld rather than return to the divine realm, I would have achieved another achievement of killing gods."

His words made the others turn their heads away and pretend to look at the scenery. After all, the word "god-killing" was considered a taboo word of great rebellion to the other gods in Orarium. But since the person who said this was Mu Huai, who had a good relationship with them, they could only pretend not to hear it.

"Clap clap clap-"

Sudden applause came from the room at the end of the stairs, and then dozens of green vine tentacles broke through the maze wall and rushed towards everyone.

"Wind of Light!"

"Ecstasy Fimbulwinter!"

The two powerful magic spells hit the tentacles but did not cause any damage at all. In fact, strange patterns of corresponding elements even appeared on the surface of the tentacles.

Mu Huai often played games with Kaguya, so he knew that this vine tentacle had the effect of magic immunity and magic absorption. He immediately pulled the trigger and opened fire, smashing the two tentacles that were about to release magic.

"It can absorb magic, so first deal with the tentacles!"

"Magicians stay back, warriors move forward!"

At Finn's command, the formation changed immediately. However, among the many warriors, only Ai Si could barely leave a scratch on the vine tentacles. However, this injury was almost equal to zero due to the opponent's terrifying regeneration ability.

Everyone could only change their formation again to focus on defense. Mu Huai was the only one among them who could cause harm to him, but he did not rush into the dark room with a knife.

At this moment, a gloomy voice came from all directions.

"Although I don't know how you got into this artificial maze, your act of bringing me a new immortal essence test specimen is highly commendable."

"Fairy spirit?"

After repelling the vine tentacles, Ais looked confused.

Finn and Livilia thought to themselves that something was wrong. They both realized that this tentacle monster with a strange aura might be related to the fairy spirit.

"Fairy spirits, the legendary spirits of nature, able to freely wield magic... Wow, what a beautiful species! Now, it has transformed into an even greater species in my hands, hahahahahahaha!!!"

Mu Huai rubbed his chin and asked, "Based on the current situation, you are the final boss of this maze and the mastermind behind it?"

"Hmm~ That's a good description. I really like these two names."

"So are you a man or a god?"

"You may call me Thanatos, the god who brings you death."

Thanatos was very proud in his words and deeds, and his greedy eyes were directed straight at Ais in the crowd. He had a premonition that this would be a perfect material.

"Then you can leave, evil god."

Mu Huai showed an unusually brilliant smile, stretched out his hand to pull out Yin Dang's body from the void and inserted it into the ground. The lavender barrier instantly completely covered the vine tentacles and the room deep inside.

"No, it's impossible. Where did you learn this weird curse barrier? Isn't it supposed to be magic? Why wasn't it absorbed?!"

Finn, who had been cooperating with the acting, felt relieved, and immediately rushed into the room where the vine tentacles spread out with the rest of his companions. Unfortunately, apart from the sickly and blasphemous carnivorous plant monster, there was no figure of the evil god who called himself Thanatos. He seemed to have escaped through a secret passage.

The monster named "Fallen Fairy" by Finn did not leave any trace after being killed, not even a magic stone. Its cry of relief before death made Ais's eyes red.

An unexpected feeling of sadness emerged in her heart. She bit her lower lip and bumped into the arms of Mu Huai who had just walked into the room. Liu, who was following him, saw this scene and his pupils suddenly shrank. He subconsciously clenched the small sword in his hand.

"Wait, Ais, what's wrong with you!?"

"Sorry...let me borrow your chest for a moment."

Mu Huai, who was suffering from the side effects of the Great Sin Armament, frantically cried out to Xiao Shinobu in his heart: [Gua! Save my teeth! Xiao Shinobu!!]

[I really can't help you. I want ten donuts when I get home today!]

【no problem! 】

[Go sit down somewhere with a bigger shadow, otherwise it will be hard for my head to come out from there. Remember to cover it with your cloak.]

【clear. 】

Mu Huai swayed left and right and took Ai Si to sit aside. Although Finn was curious why his face could show several expressions of pain, endurance, and comfort in an instant, it was more important to chase the escaped evil god Thanatos.

"Ms. Liu, please stay here and guard Mu Huai and Ai Si. The rest of us will go after Thanatos. Mr. Fels, will it be safe for them to stay here?"

"No problem. I've already obtained several maze keys from other members of the Dark Faction. I can give one to Mr. Mu Huai. The rest depends on whether you want to split into two-person teams to search for Thanatos."

After much consideration, Finn decided to keep the current team. Faced with the evil god who had successfully transformed the fairy spirit, no one knew whether he had any other backup plans in the maze. Any decision must be based on the safety of the clan members.

After the main force of Loki's family left, Liu looked at Ai Si sleeping peacefully on Mu Huai's chest, with a sweet smile on the corner of her mouth, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings as if a bottle of seasoning had been overturned.

She gently sheathed the small sword and silently made a decision.

"Mu Huai... After this siege is over, I'm going to the Sword City. My revenge is over, and I need to tell God Astraea about it."

"Is it far from Orario?"

"It's a long way for ordinary people, but for me... maybe just half a month."

Mu Huai didn't say anything to persuade her to stay. He said jokingly, "Remember to bring me some local specialties, and don't get lost on the way. If you don't come back in half a month, I'll have to go out and look for you."

"Why are you looking for me? You might as well look for Ai Si."

"Because I want to bring you into our Hestia family to live together. Would you refuse?"

"Live together!?"

Liu was so frightened by these four big words that she stumbled against the wall. After slowly squatting down with her body against the stone wall, a wisp of light pink smoke soon floated out of her hood, and she was completely immersed in her own delusion.

Chapter 45: Ancient natural disaster, one-eyed black dragon.

Nearly a month has passed since the encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the dark faction. Currently, only the evil god Thanatos has not been found. The three major clans of Freya, Loki, and Ganesha are taking turns to send people to guard the entrance and exit of the artificial maze, and at the same time continuously sending members into the maze to search.

At the Loki clan's base, a shrill scream broke the quiet morning.

"Ais!!!!"

Loki clung to the gatepost with tears and snot, while Livilia held her tightly from behind.

"Livelia, let me go! I can't bear to see Aisi fall into the clutches of that brat!"

"Loki, how many times have I told you that Aisi only went to spar with Mu Huai!"

Hearing this, Loki turned his head sharply, his face twisted into a miserable expression that stunned her. "You've said it 27 times, and Aisi has been looking for that brat for 27 consecutive days. She even asked Diona which dress looked best on her yesterday!"

"This... doesn't this mean that our plan was successful?"

"success?"

Loki's voice suddenly rose, tears pouring out of his eyes like a waterfall: "I shouldn't have agreed to that plan. Aisi has been completely bewitched by that brat and won't even let me hug her!"

"Loki... you haven't really held Ais since she was little, right?"

"I don't care. I just want Aisi back!"

Watching her Lord God throwing a tantrum and rolling around on the ground like a fussy child, Livilia held her forehead and sighed speechlessly: "Do you believe that if I call Ai Si back now, she will ignore you for several days?"

"Gah!"

Loki froze in his tracks as if struck in a vital spot. Then he stood up, dusted himself off, and walked away whistling, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. Time to go back to bed."

……

Ais arrived at the gate of Hestia's family residence and found a wooden sign next to the gate that read "Aisi Wallenstein is not allowed to enter."

She looked at the content for a while, then took out the weapon from her waist and crossed out one of the words "Wallenstein", and then walked in openly.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Mu Huai, I'm here to see you!"

The door opened, and Hestia poked her head out, glaring at Ais with hostility: "Can't you read the words on the door anymore, Mr. Hua?"

"But you wrote Ace Wallenstein, and my name is Ace Wallenstein."

"What!? Did I write too hastily yesterday and didn't write enough?"

Hestia immediately grabbed her quill and ran to the door, but when she saw the sword marks on the wooden sign, she realized she had been tricked by Ai Si. She was so angry that her twin ponytails stood up: "Ai Si Wallenstein!! I will never let you go!!!"

After entering the villa, Ai Si found Mu Huai's bedroom with ease, unlocked the door and walked in. Seeing that he was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, she took out a small note from her pocket and read it carefully, nodding from time to time to help her understand the content.

After putting the note away, she locked the door, put down her weapon, and crawled into Mu Huai's bed. Her movements were smooth and seamless, and it was obvious that this was not the first time she had done this.

"Master, there is a surprise for you when you wake up now~"

"Ok?"

In the shadow space, Mu Huai put down Xiao Ren's cream-covered left foot and wiped the corner of her mouth with her tender white right foot. He frowned in confusion: "Is there anything more important than me tasting the original ice cream?"

"Aisi is here."

These four simple words scared Mu Huai so much that he immediately disappeared into the shadow space, leaving behind Xiao Ren who was laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

When I opened my eyes, the beautiful face of the blonde sword princess immediately came into view. She recited in a voice as emotionless as a humanoid machine: "Good morning. I hope your first words from now on will also be 'good morning', and then put your arms around my waist and give me a sweet good morning kiss, instead of asking 'Why are you here?', okay?"

"If I refuse...what will be the consequences?"

The answer that wasn't written in the script was clearly beyond Ais's ability to handle. She remained silent for a few seconds, and finally, amidst the pounding of Hestia on the door, she gently tugged at the hem of Mu Huai's pajamas and said dejectedly, like a puppy abandoned by its owner: "My favorability will decrease..."

[Wow~ Master, your heartbeat instantly accelerated. Could it be that this situation just hits the XP?]

"Oh!"

The bedroom door was chopped open by an axe. Hestia, with black smoke coming out of her mouth and a devilish face, stood in front of the hole: "Ace Wallenstein! You're dead!!"

"What the Shining?"

Mu Huai complained and was just about to get up from the bed to face the familiar Shura field when a violent vibration came from the soles of his feet, as if the whole world was shaking.

"earthquake?"

He didn't have time to think about it, so he turned on the acceleration mode and took Hestia, Lily, and Ess out of the villa and took refuge in the open space outside the house.

"Roar--"

The giant black dragon that covered the sky spread its wings and roared to the heavens. The sound waves emitted by its roar alone reduced half of the area of ​​Orario to ruins.

The long golden hair moved without wind, which was engraved in the depths of Ai Si's soul and was also her only goal on the road to revenge. The ultimate disaster that was said to bring destruction to the world - the one-eyed black dragon appeared before her again.

"I won't lose again..."

She murmured to herself as she glanced at Mu Huai who was hugging her, and then allowed her body and mind to be consumed by the flames of revenge suppressed deep in her soul.

……

Time goes back to three minutes before the one-eyed black dragon appeared.

Relying on his familiarity with the man-made maze, Thanatos had been playing hide-and-seek with the search team inside. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not avoid the guard line that would not even let an ant pass and enter the maze control center.

Even though he is a god, his physical fitness in the lower realm is no different from that of an ordinary person. As long as he uses his divine power, he will be immediately forced to return to the realm of gods and will never be able to come back.

The food and water he carries with him are getting less and less. In a few days, he might starve to death and return to the divine realm. This is not the outcome he wants.

Just when Thanatos was about to make a desperate attempt, Ota, a pigman from Freya's clan, found him with a hound wearing a magic stone collar, and the giant sword knocked the evil god into the ground in an instant.

"Lady Freya said that you, who have defiled her garden, are not worthy to stay in Orario."
