Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

"Wait……"

The giant sword smashed Thanatos' chest. The evil god finally released his divine power and returned to the realm of gods when his life was threatened. However, neither of them expected that the divine blood and divine power would permeate the broken black scale hanging on his chest, successfully activating this black dragon scale that had been circulated in the dark faction for many years.

The ancient scourge sleeping on the 99th floor of the dungeon was awakened by the most disgusting breath. The angry one-eyed black dragon flapped its wings and broke through the nest used to protect its hibernation, spreading death and destruction to the earth again.

Chapter 46: Soften the dragon before hunting it.

Just before the black hurricane was about to wrap up Ai Si and rush towards the black dragon, Mu Huai activated time acceleration to knock her out, then took Hestia and Lily straight to Loki's family.

Right now, the entire Orario was in chaos. No one had expected that the Black Dragon would actually emerge from the ground. Civilians rushed to the exit of Orario with their families, while more adventurers, under command, went to the ruins destroyed by the Black Dragon to carry out rescue operations.

The one-eyed black dragon roared and then stopped, seemingly wondering why the entrance to the underground lair where monsters once continuously emerged had become a city inhabited by humans. It even began to suspect that its awakening was a conspiracy after an ancient hero took away one of its eyes.

When it turned its huge head and scanned the entire Orario with its single eye, Mu Huai had already brought Hestia and the others to the Loki clan. After handing Ais to the anxious Livilia, he told his main god and Lily not to run around, and turned around to walk out of the clan.

Loki frowned and shouted, "Where are you going, kid? Now is not the time to run around when the black dragon suddenly attacks!"

"You don't have to worry about that. I'm just going to have a little fight."

Mu Huai waved his hand behind her and shouted to the fully armed Finn in the distance: "Finn, if you want to be a dragon slayer, call the elite from other clans over!"

"You mean... I understand."

"Finn, why are you fooling around with this fool at a time like this? Even if his strange weapon can weaken the Floor Master, he's still a black dragon, the ultimate disaster that Zeus, Hera, and the others haven't been able to defeat. Hestia, why don't you try to persuade him?"

Hestia was unusually calm at this moment, not a trace of worry visible on her face. Facing Loki's questioning, she clasped her hands together in front of her, as if in prayer. "Some people are destined to become heroes. As his patron saint and family member, I only need to silently pray for his victory after he makes his decision. Worry and tears will only become his weaknesses."

Mu Huai walked towards the Black Dragon against the panicked flow of people. At first, those who were blocked by him showed angry expressions, thinking that he was blocking their escape route, but when they saw that there was only the reflection of the Black Dragon that covered the sky in his eyes, their anger turned into respect for the hero.

Since when, people who met Mu Huai would automatically make way for him until he reached the foot of the black dragon.

"Gensokyo God's Soujutsu."

[Selected target: Monster Mountain——Ibuki Suika]

[Ability to exchange: Density manipulation]

[Offer: Ten altars of divine wine]

【Offering successful! 】

Mu Huai's body swelled up like an inflated balloon. Borrowing Ibuki Suika's ability, he made himself grow so big that he could look at the black dragon at eye level.

"As expected...Is it because the hero trained by Zeus and his men has grown up that they woke me up?"

The black dragon spoke in human language, and its one-eyed eye seemed to want to see from Mu Huai the shadows of the two major clans that had seriously injured it and forced it to hide in the underground city to recuperate. A trace of hatred flashed in its vertical pupils.

"I'm sorry, but I'm from Hestia's family and have nothing to do with Zeus and the others."

Mu Huai spoke in a relaxed tone as if he was talking to an old friend, and with his backhand he thrust Yin Dang's body, which had also grown in size along with him, into the ground.

A lavender barrier with a radius of three kilometers unfolded instantly. The black dragon's huge body sank slightly, and he immediately realized that this barrier was very strange. It could actually penetrate his black scales that were immune to most magic and put him in a cursed weakened state.

It immediately spread its wings and tried to fly out of the barrier, but Mu Huai would not let it leave. The ability to control density was not just about enlarging a person, but also about making the physical strength match the current size of the body.

In other words, Mu Huai's physical strength at this moment is about the same as the black dragon's scales.

He grabbed the black dragon's wings with his right hand, pulled it down from mid-air and smashed it into the ground. With his action, all the people in Orario were shaken more than one meter high, and large buildings collapsed in this fierce earthquake.

“Roar—damn humans!!!”

After Mu Huai knocked the black dragon to the ground, he pressed directly on it, clenched his right fist, and swung it down at its head in a simple and unpretentious manner.

"Boom boom boom——"

A muffled sound that was enough to make a person's heart explode echoed in the sky above Orario. The black dragon was knocked unconscious by three punches from this farmer. After all, it was one of the ultimate natural disasters in ancient times, but now it was being ridden on and hit in the face by a human.

His pride was greatly insulted, and he opened his huge mouth full of sharp teeth and spit black dragon flames towards Mu Huai's chest. The dragon flames with corrosive effects instantly melted his clothes and chest muscles, revealing the pale skeleton and pounding heart inside.

"Hehe, your body is nothing but...what!?"

The part that was originally melted by the dragon flame recovered in the blink of an eye. This monstrous-level regeneration ability almost made the black dragon think that it was fighting with another land disaster [Behemoth].

Now that he was pinned to the ground by Mu Huai, Black Dragon understood that only by leaving this strange barrier could he unleash his full strength to defeat the opponent.

The power of dragon flame is too weak to match the opponent's regeneration speed. If it wants to use high-level magic, even a black dragon must chant and charge, but Mu Huai will not give it this opportunity.

As soon as the magic power began to gather in its mouth, he would punch it recklessly until it was dizzy and even be attacked by the magic power.

In desperation, the Black Dragon could only use its most primitive weapons - fangs and sharp teeth to continuously attack Mu Huai.

Mu Huai would not passively take a beating. He held Yin Dang's body tightly with his left hand to maintain the barrier, and fought with it, exchanging injuries with his claws and punches.

The aftermath of the battle between the two giants destroyed almost all buildings except the Tower of Babel, and the sprayed blood even formed a lake of blood under their feet.

"Enough! There's no point in continuing to waste time like this, human. If you let me go, I promise not to appear in your time!"

"Who are you to negotiate terms with me? Just because you don't have reinforcements doesn't mean I don't have them."

The black dragon naturally noticed the tiny humans approaching from afar, but it showed no fear. "You're actually pinning your hopes on these weak insects that I can kill with just a single breath of dragon fire?"

Mu Huai grinned: "Don't you know that the Azure Star Dragon Hunters have to soften up before they can do it? They are good teammates who are here to help me soften up."

After saying that, he stuffed his right fist directly into the black dragon's mouth, forcibly sealing its dragon breath at the cost of his right hand.

Countless tiny magic circles containing enormous magical power floated up, and attacked the scales on one side of the black dragon's neck one after another. Countless warriors passed through the deadly gap formed by flying stones and sharp claws, swinging their weapons to cut the dragon's scales again and again.

Day and night alternated endlessly, and Livilia couldn't remember how many bottles of dual-attribute recovery potion she had drunk. She only knew that before she overdrew the last bit of her mental strength and passed out, Mu Huai took out the Blade of Hestia and stabbed the tip of the blade into the black dragon's neck.

Chapter 47 Aisi: I have someone I like.

After Liu told Astraea, the former clan leader, the news and process of the end of revenge, her ability value was updated after a long time. The accumulated great deeds allowed her to continuously sublimate from Lv.4 to Lv.6.

After being freed from hatred, Liu also awakened a magic called [Asteria Memoirs], which allowed him to activate the magic of his past Astralia family members.

The news of the black dragon appearing in Orario spread extremely quickly. When Liu, who was on his way back to Orario from the Sword City, heard the news, he became extremely anxious and rushed back at full speed.

When the ruined walls of Orario appeared on the horizon, Liu's heart sank to the bottom. Holding flaming swords, she kicked aside the rubble blocking the entrance and rushed into the city, shouting: "Mu Huai! I'm back to join your clan. Are you still alive?!"

Mu Huai, who maintained his giant body, was sitting on the headless corpse of a black dragon, waving the Hestia Blade in his hand to cut the materials on the black dragon's corpse according to Finn's instructions. Hearing Liu's excited roar, he subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"what?"

"Ok?"

Liu's mind was a little confused. Looking at the busy adventurers around her, she felt like she had done something stupid.

"Ryu!! You're back, meow~"

Chloe cheered and rushed over. From her meow, Liu finally understood the whole process of the Black Dragon incident.

The one-eyed black dragon had magic and hard dragon scales, but was eventually killed by Mu Huai, a mechanical monster with weakened weapons, terrifying regeneration speed, and the ability to control its own size, and the elite adventurers of Orario.

The battle against the black dragon lasted for about five days and ended when Mu Huai cut off the black dragon's head with the Blade of Hestia. The reason why he did not put away the Gin Dang's body was that if the weakening barrier was not maintained, no weapon could cut the black dragon's body.

"Nya~ Speaking of which...Ryu, what's the situation with you clamoring to join the Hestia Familia that Mu Huai is in?"

"what……"

"what?"

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!!"

Realizing that she seemed to have confessed to Mu Huai in front of all the elite adventurers in Orario, Liu's easily broken shame was completely shattered. After screaming that almost deafened Chloe's ears, she staggered to the ground, and light pink steam continued to float out of her hood.

"Chloe... please kill me... this is too embarrassing."

“Meow meow meow???”

After the brief farce, Mu Huai spent half a day to process the one-eyed black dragon, which was about six or seven hundred meters long, into material, and then removed the barrier and enlarged his body.

"Mu Huai!!!!"

Hestia threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes, and looked him over with concern in her red and swollen eyes: "Are you in pain? Are you hungry? Do you need me to call a magician to cast a healing spell on you?"

"Of course I'm fine. You've seen my regenerative abilities before. Aside from some numbness from the black dragon biting my skin, there's nothing wrong with me. But you... your eyes are swollen from crying."

Mu Huai was a man who had personally experienced the death iron fist of Yuuka Kazami in the sunflower field. Five days of hand-to-hand combat was nothing to him. At most, he felt suffocated because he could only use one hand and could not move.

Compared to these trivial matters, he needed to deal with the side effects of maintaining the Sin Armament for five days. Hestia must have noticed the black flame dragon against her chest, otherwise her ears would not have turned pink.

"Lily-kun! Come here and help me support Mu Huai. Let's take him to the tent over there to rest!"

"I'm coming!"

After entering the tent specially built for Mu Huai and helping him sit on the bed, Hestia left in a hurry with a blushing face, saying, "I'll leave it to you from now on, Lily-kun."

The torches in the tent cast a huge black shadow on Lily's delicate face. She swallowed hard, feeling that the Black Flame Dragon, which she was very familiar with before, seemed to have grown a little bit.

In this critical moment where a slight carelessness could result in loss of life, she could only take out the surprise she had prepared long ago. As a wave of magic flashed by, Lily gradually turned into the appearance of a blonde swordsman.

Placing the soundproof stone on the wooden table beside her, she shook her head vigorously and slowly exhaled. Slowly getting down on her knees, she tucked her dazzling golden hair behind her ears, pouted, and muttered softly, "My original height is still better. I don't even have to kneel."

……

After Ais personally participated in the battle to defeat the black dragon that killed her parents, she felt happy but also confused. Her only motivation to become stronger was gone.

It's like a climber who is suddenly sent to the top of the mountain halfway up. Apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery at the top, he has no plan for the next step.

In the past, if she encountered such a thing, she would definitely ask Livilia first, but the other party was busy working with Finn to cooperate with the Adventurer's Guild to calculate the casualties in Orario, and she had no time to help her solve her doubts.

"How about... let's go check on Mu Huai... He seems to be resting in the tent over there."

Ai Si slowly approached the tent with confused steps, and was surprised to see Lily staggering out from inside, holding her stomach.

"Is she going to the bathroom? That way... it's a good opportunity for Mu Huai and I to be alone."

Ai Si, who was particularly good at seizing opportunities, rushed into the tent in two steps. Before her eyes had time to adjust to the dim light inside, her body was immediately held tightly by a pair of strong arms.

The burning gaze in Mu Huai's pupils reminded her of the feeling when they were alone in the training ground. She reluctantly followed him and fell into the bed.

Lily, who had gone out briefly to replenish water and food, returned to the tent to find that the sky had fallen. The real person who had been disguised by her magic was actually rolling around with Mu Huai, and he obviously didn't notice this and was still playing it like a role-playing game.

Or... why not run away quickly before Lord Mu Huai and Miss Ai Si notice?

Lily tiptoed out of the tent, then found a wooden sign and stuck it at the door with the words "Master Mu Huai is resting, please do not disturb him!" written on it. Then she ran to find Hestia to report the emergency.

As the greatest contributor and hero to the defeat of the Black Dragon, Mu Huai's rest was naturally not disturbed by anyone, and the news of Ai Si's disappearance did not reach the ears of the top leaders of Loki's family until three days later.

Just when Loki declared that he would dig deep into the ground to find Ai Si, Mu Huai walked out of the tent with an embarrassed look on his face, holding the golden-haired swordsman's hand.

Her eyes were filled with Mu Huai's affectionate gaze and the blush on her cheeks that had not yet faded, like a bolt from the blue that split Loki, who had turned into a stone sculpture, into pieces.

Ai Si said firmly, "Livilia, Loki, I... found someone I like."

“No no no no no!!!!!”

Unable to accept this fact, Loki was devastated and fainted with his legs kicked out.

Chapter 48 Marisa: I can do anything!

In the end, Loki cried and yelled to "persuade" Aisi to return to Loki's family. Livilia confidently assured Mu Huai that she would definitely let Aisi come back to him, then patted his shoulder and said, "Good luck~".

Mu Huai then paid the price of having his body covered with Hestia's teeth marks in exchange for the goddess accepting his infidelity. When he went to see Uranus the next day, there were still two deep red lip marks on his neck.

"Hehehe, learning how to manage harem relationships is also something a hero must learn, a hero from another world."

"I'm not here to listen to your teasing, Ouranos."

"I know that the black dragon is dead, and all three tasks are completed. Thank you for your willingness to save this world. As long as Hestia is willing, you can take her away at any time.

By the way, Freya seems to be interested in you too, I wonder..."

"No, no, no, I still prefer the Virgin Goddess. She's like me, like playing biochemical mode with Crazy Baby in a biochemical hotel."

"I'll tell Freya. Besides that, as the savior of Orario, do you want anything else?"

"No, you may not have what I want. That's all. Goodbye."

Mu Huai waved goodbye to Uranus.

When he got home, he found Liu and Ai Si sitting face to face on the sofa, both of them expressionless and exchanging glances in the air, while Hestia and Lily brought small stools and sat beside them, eating melon and watching the show.

In the end, it was Liu who spoke first: "You mean... you didn't recognize me for such a long time?"

"We were both Level 3 at the time, and since you dyed your hair green, I really didn't recognize you."
