They already have a chat group, why bother with the plot?

As soon as Ling Yu and Ai Li entered the Imaginary World, they saw a dark blue dragon fighting against the non-human creature.

Pure white dragon breath erupted from the dragon's mouth, shattering several floating islands.

The dragon was none other than the mount of the defeated knight of the Dark Empire that Alice had previously sent over.

After healing Feilong's injuries, Ling Yu kept him living in the Imaginary World.

Now it has become a self-defense mechanism for the imaginary world.

"Roar!"

The dragon slightly raised its body, revealing its sharp claws, and reached down to grab at the figure below.

The long claws of the Soul Devouring Demon, which was fighting the flying dragon, also gleamed with a chilling light.

Its eyes were fixed on the dragon's belly, and it planned to tear the dragon's belly open the moment it made contact!

However, just as the dragon and the demon were about to come into contact, a critical moment occurred.

laugh!

The sound of electricity sounded.

A blue-purple light bullet shot from a distance at an extremely terrifying speed.

Just as the Soul Devouring Demon was about to tear open the dragon's belly, it sensed the approaching danger and instinctively released its devouring ability, intending to absorb the attack.

But the next second

Bang!

To its disbelief, not only was the attack not swallowed up, but its body was also directly shattered.

The electric current is like a maggot clinging to a bone; no matter how much it regenerates, the body will continue to be broken down.

"impossible!"

In a hoarse, unwilling voice, the Soul Devouring Demon, which Zhou Tong feared, was broken down into atoms and completely dissipated into the air.

Releasing the third divine key, which resembled Barrett, it transformed back into the fairy Ellie.

Then, the fairy Ellie quickly burrowed into Ellie's body, reactivating the soul steel body named 'Ellie'.

The death of the Soul Devourer clearly caught the Flying Dragon off guard.

After staring at the somewhat scorched ground for a while, until it smelled a familiar scent, it excitedly flew towards Ling Yu.

"Sweetie, you're a big kid now, why are you so clingy?"

Looking at the dark dragon snuggling into his arms, Ling Yu smiled and patted its head.

"Here, I brought you some snacks, eat them while they're hot."

Ling Yu thought for a moment, then took out the Tranquility Gem given to him by the Will of Honkai from his system space and placed it near the dragon's mouth.

The color of this gem is almost identical to that of the dragon itself.

This is also why Ling Yu chose it.

Trusting Ling Yu, Feilong opened his mouth without thinking.

Patting its head, Ling Yu tossed the Tranquility Gem inside.

With a 'gulp', the gem was swallowed.

Then, Feilong's expression changed, as if he had encountered something extremely painful.

At the critical moment, Ling Yu stepped in and helped it clear the Honkai energy being channeled out of its core.

Finally, a giant cocoon appeared.

Just like when he was nurturing the Emperor-level Honkai Beast Ashura, Ling Yu could also feel the dragon evolving inside the giant cocoon.

Seeing that it would take some time before the hatching process began, Ling Yu and Ai Li went out first.

As for the Soul Devouring Demon? They didn't even glance at it.

No one can survive the powerful disintegration force of the Third Divine Key.

The little Soul Devourer is no match for it.

As soon as the two returned to reality, they saw a red glow spreading around them.

From a high altitude, one can see that the red light covers almost half of Danjiang City and is constantly shrinking towards a single point.

Just as one problem subsided, another arose, leaving Ling Yu wondering what was going on in Danjiang City today.

Could it be a delayed newbie village boss?

"The concentration of spiritual energy in the air is decreasing."

Ling Yu realized this and, after a quick calculation, locked his target on a location in the southern part of the city.

If the red light continues to contract at its current rate, it is expected to converge on the location that Ling Yu has locked onto in fourteen minutes.

After analyzing it, Ling Yu discovered that the only function of the red light was to gather the spiritual energy in this area, as if it were filling something with energy.

Click!

The door opened.

Cui Zi appeared in a hurry.

"Ling Yu, what is that red light?"

As soon as she came in, Cui Zi asked.

Clearly, she returned immediately after seeing the red light.

"I don't know, but this color doesn't look like anything good," Ling Yu said.

"Is it dangerous?"

Cui Zi asked, her beautiful face filled with seriousness.

"The distance is too far to detect, but based on the analysis results, the red light itself is not harmful, but whether it will attract anything is unknown." Ling Yu shook his head.

After saying that, he looked at Cui Zi and asked, "You want to go?"

"Yes, I want to check it out. If there's any danger, it's best to avoid it if possible." Midori nodded.

Her innate kindness meant she was destined to never see others get hurt.

"Alright, I don't have anything to do today, so I'll keep you company."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yu replied without hesitation.

He was also curious.

Such an unusual phenomenon does not occur without reason; it is most likely man-made.

Such an anomaly occurring without prior notice is most likely beyond the control of the disaster management bureau.

Cui Zi was surprised to hear that Ling Yu wanted to come along.

She knew how lazy Ling Yu was.

Is it...because of me?

Cui Zi thought to herself, her face unconsciously turning slightly red.

His tone towards Ling Yu softened considerably: "You must be careful."

Ling Yu didn't notice the change in Cui Zi's tone, because Cui Zi usually spoke very gently.

Ellie, on the other hand, accurately detected Midori's slightly accelerated heartbeat.

A thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Instead of starting from reality, Ling Yu chose to traverse distances through imaginary space.

Having locked onto his target early on, Ling Yu was naturally able to instantly access the coordinates of the corresponding space.

Riding on her mica and wielding a longsword, Midori once again transformed into the shrine maiden who fought against countless monsters.

Southern part of the city

The rooftop of Guangyun Building.

"The commotion is still too great. I'm afraid that before the gods even arrive, those wild dogs from the Disaster Management Bureau will come over."

Looking at the light that almost covered the entire city of Danjiang, the eldest brother frowned.

Although it was predicted, I didn't expect the spiritual energy in this area to be so scarce.

'It really is a remote place!'

The elder brother thought to himself with disdain.

Just like Ling Yu's analysis, this red light is used to gather spiritual energy.

The range of the red light indicates the quality and quantity of the spiritual energy.

With the help of the vast spiritual energy, and by using them as a guide, we can tear open a gap in the barrier of this world and allow the true gods who have been rejected from the world to descend!

The eldest brother couldn't help but smile when he thought of the scene of the gods descending.

"The ceremony is at its final stage. You two, go and keep an eye on things and make sure those people from the Disaster Management Bureau don't get in," the older brother instructed.

"Yes, boss!" the two henchmen replied quickly.

Then, they quickly dispersed towards the adjacent high-rise building, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

"As long as the Eighth True God descends, His Excellency the Bishop will surely grant me a seat in the Holy Covenant's Eighteenth Seat! Hahahaha!"

As he said this, the elder brother's eyes were filled with fervor, and he accelerated the activation of the formation once again.

The red light, which had been slowly contracting, now accelerated its speed.

"The Eighteen Seats of the Holy Covenant? Let me see, it turns out to be a cult."

Just as the eldest brother was still engrossed in his bright future, an unfamiliar voice rang out, almost choking him as he was laughing wildly.

"Cough cough cough! Who!?"

He suddenly looked in the direction of the sound.

A man was seen sitting on the edge of the rooftop with two stunningly beautiful women.

The man kept scrolling through his phone, seemingly looking at something interesting, clicking his tongue in amazement.

What was presented to Ling Yu through his mobile phone was none other than the top-secret information he had read via satellite.

According to official records, these so-called eighteen seats of the Holy Covenant came from a terrorist organization called Metis.

They worship a god from beyond the earth, and it is said that their leader is the son of God. They have caused quite a few troubles in the West and the Middle East.

Among them, many small countries did not die from the slaughter of demons, but instead perished under the descent of the so-called true god.

The official records include pictures and videos.

Therefore, Ling Yu was able to gain a considerable understanding of this so-called Metis religion.

But Metis, wasn't she the first goddess of wisdom in Greek mythology? Zeus's wife, Athena's mother?

How did it become the name of a terrorist organization?

Ling Yu, puzzled, did some searching.

Then, to his surprise, he discovered that there were no records of gods in the world.

There are only powerful, god-like awakened beings; there are no records of gods at all.

Neither Zeus, the king of the succubus, nor God uttered a single word about it.

According to the records, apart from the first descent of the true god, the other descents of the true god by the Metis religion were interrupted.

Because it was discovered early, and with the full force of many countries trying to stop it, the Metis invocation rituals were nipped in the bud several times afterward.

The first so-called descent of the true god summoned a giant, pitch-black serpent that seemed poised to pierce through the sea and the land.

Although the snake was eventually driven back into the spatial rift through the combined efforts of the nations, that battle resulted in the direct loss of ten of humanity's top SSS-level combatants!

And the name of that snake that connects the land and the sea is...

"Jörmungandr!"

Ling Yu murmured aloud.
