I'm in a crossover anime world, and I've been transported to Hogwarts twice.

The price was indeed enormous and devastating!

Even with his god-slayer's robust physique and immense magical power, he almost couldn't withstand it.

However, in stark contrast to his miserable appearance was—

In the Netherworld, Pandora was radiant and glowing. Her already delicate and lovely face seemed to drip with moisture, and the aura emanating from her body became much more solid and cheerful.

She smacked her lips contentedly, as if she had tasted some supreme delicacy, and waved happily in the direction where Genichi Hanyu had disappeared.

"Have a safe trip, my dear son~ Mom will do her best to help you~"

Her help quickly became apparent.

Almost at the same time that Genichi Hanyu recovered, a series of incredibly clear information streams appeared in his mind as if directly branded!

Those are the names, general forms, and most precise hiding places of these disobedient gods!

The information was outrageously detailed, even including the general patterns of these deities' activities and the characteristics of their powers!

This is practically a guidebook delivered right to my door!

A satisfied smile finally appeared on Genichi Hanyu's pale face.

This heavy price was well paid!

What Hanyu Genichi found even more interesting was that Pandora not only had no objection to his behavior of building a harem and collecting beautiful women everywhere in this world, but actually supported it wholeheartedly!

During the break in the transaction, Pandora even encouraged him with a smile: "The more the merrier! Whether it's a goddess, a witch, a priestess, or a knight, take whatever you like. Mom supports you!"

Her open-minded attitude was so unlike that of a "mother" that it seemed more like that of a pimp.

After a moment's thought, Genichi Hanyu understood Pandora's deeper intentions.

The more love he leaves behind in this world, the deeper the bonds he forms, the stronger his connection with this world becomes, and the harder it is to sever the ties that bind him to it.

With this in mind, Pandora no longer needs to worry about when Genichi Hanyu will grow too powerful and kick her world consciousness away, or even do something that harms the world itself.

Although Pandora and Genichi Hanyu seem to have a close relationship now, she can't guarantee that this unpredictable "son" with rapidly growing power won't turn against her for some reason in the future, or even escape her control.

Therefore, the best way is to bind him firmly to this world with countless bonds.

The more he has, the less easily he can give it up.

These collectibles that he cares about will eventually become the chains that bind him.

Pandora's scheming was undeniably profound.

Genichi Hanyu was fully aware of this, but he was not averse to it.

On the contrary, he felt it was fair, a win-win situation.

Pandora needs security, while he needs convenience and more collectibles. It's a win-win deal.

"In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

As Genichi Hanyu sensed the detailed hunting map in his mind, a trace of color returned to his pale face, and a sharp, desire-filled light rekindled in his eyes.

Luo Hao, you can slowly search in the unknown.

And I have already seen the finish line.

The hunt begins!

319 can't catch up, it's simply impossible to catch up.

In order to win the bet with Genichi Hanyu, a bet concerning dignity and freedom, the martial arts king Luo Hao, after returning to Mount Lu, spared no effort to utilize all the forces under his command and the network of connections he had accumulated over two hundred years.

The massive machine of the Five Sacred Mountains Sect was running at full speed. Countless disciples, affiliated martial arts sects, Taoist families, and even some secret organizations of sorcerers received the highest order from Mount Lu: spare no effort to search for any possible signs of disobedient gods appearing around the world!

In an instant, the entire Eastern mystical world was in turmoil, with countless spies and informants being sent to all parts of the world. Various ancient observation techniques and divination methods were frequently used, all in order to find the target to kill first.

Luo Hao himself took matters into his own hands, relying on his powerful spiritual sense and keen perception of the earth's spiritual energy, patrolling the land of China and the surrounding areas day and night, searching for any possible fluctuations of divine power.

However, reality dealt a heavy blow to the proud and arrogant Luo Hao.

The disobedient god is a mad god who deviates from mythology and descends to the mortal world from mythology. Its appearance is an extremely accidental and rare event, something that can only be encountered by chance and cannot be sought.

Even though Luo Hao is a god-slayer standing at the pinnacle of the world and possesses immense power, it would still be incredibly difficult for her to accurately locate multiple disobedient gods in a short period of time!

Ten days have passed, and despite Luo Hao and his forces' best efforts, they have found very few traces of the non-gods that they can confirm their existence!

Moreover, most of these are just vague sensations or unverified rumors, and very few can actually pinpoint the exact location!

In ten days, she exerted all her strength and only managed to hunt down one relatively weak, newly manifested disobedient god.

In stark contrast, news of Hanyu Genichi's victories kept pouring into Luo Hao's ears through various channels like snowflakes!

"Report! Master! News has come from Europe that the seventh god-slayer, King Yusheng, killed a manifested Titan descendant near the ruins of Olympus in Greece three days ago!"

"Report! Master! Urgent dispatch from the North American branch! Yuzuru Wang has appeared in the dense forest and engaged in a fierce battle with an ancient Mayan rain god, ultimately slaying him!"

"Report! King Yuzuru has slain two rebellious gods connected to the underworld in Egypt in a single day!"

Every piece of news that came was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Luo Hao's heart!

Her face grew colder day by day, and the atmosphere around her became increasingly oppressive.

The cult members responsible for delivering the message were all trembling with fear, terrified that the leader's pent-up rage would erupt instantly and crush them into dust.

? 、彡事冥7兒尔、?虾〔似这如何可能？

How could he possibly find these disobedient gods scattered all over the world and hidden so deeply?

How could his efficiency be so terrifying?

It was as if he didn't need to search at all; he knew directly where the gods were hiding!

At this rate, forget about winning, she won't even be able to see Genichi Hanyu's taillights!

What awaits her is only the humiliating defeat a month later, and the tragic end of becoming the other party's possession!

Do not!

Absolutely not!

Luo Hao clenched his fist tightly, his nails almost digging into his palm.

Her proud self-esteem would never allow her to accept such an ending!

She gritted her teeth, a hint of determination and madness flashing in her phoenix eyes.

Since we can't find it through normal means, we have to resort to unconventional methods!

An extremely dangerous, even insane, idea took shape in her mind—to actively summon a disobedient god!

Instead of passively searching for those disobedient gods who may appear at any time or place, like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to take the initiative and forcibly pull out those gods who are sleeping in mythology!

Pull it in front of you!

Although doing so is extremely risky, the strength and number of the gods summoned are uncontrollable, and it may even backfire, inviting an attack from multiple gods.

But this is currently the only way to quickly acquire a target for hunting!

Just do it!

Luo Hao immediately ordered his followers to set up a high-level summoning ceremony in a valley deep in the Lushan Mountains, where the spiritual energy was most abundant!

She intends to use her immense magical power and authority as a guide, and the long-standing mythological system of China as a foundation, to forcibly tear down the barrier between mythology and reality!

Various precious spiritual materials and offerings were continuously transported into the valley, complex formations were meticulously inscribed, and enormous energy began to gather.

A grand summoning ceremony, capable of shocking the entire mystical world, is being prepared in earnest.

Luo Hao stood in the center of the ritual formation, his eyes cold and resolute.

She estimated that once the ritual was completed, she was at least 70% confident that she could summon one or two disobedient gods related to Chinese mythology!

This will be the beginning of her comeback!

However, just as the ceremony was about to be completed, and Luo Hao was about to personally infuse his magical power to activate it—

A cult member in charge of intelligence stumbled and crawled into the valley, his face deathly pale. Forgetting all formalities, his voice trembling, he brought devastating news that struck like a bolt from the blue:

"Sect Leader, urgent news!"

"Confirmed simultaneously by sources in Japan and Europe, the seventh god-slayer, Genichi Hanyu, killed three disobedient gods in a single day yesterday in the Persian Gulf. One of them is suspected to be an ancient being from Sumerian mythology!"

"puff--!"

This news struck Luo Hao like a violent blow, hitting his mind hard!

Even with her incredibly strong will, at this moment she only felt a sudden darkness before her eyes, a sweet taste in her throat, and a mouthful of blood almost gushing out!

She forcefully pressed it down, but her internal organs had already been shaken by the extreme impact!

Slaying three disobedient gods in a single day?!

How can this be?

This is no longer a hunt!

This is simply a harvest!

It was a massacre!

Is Genichi Hanyu some kind of god-reaping machine?

Are those high and mighty, disobedient gods like weeds in a field, to be cut down at will before him?

A profound sense of absurdity and powerlessness, like a cold tide, instantly overwhelmed Luo Hao.

She stood there, her body swaying slightly, the color draining from her beautiful face, and she fell into a long, deathly silence.

The wind howled through the valley, but it couldn't dispel the suffocating despair.

She slowly and stiffly turned her head, looking at the massive and complex summoning ritual that had taken so much effort and was about to be completed. The runes that shimmered with spiritual light, the mountains of offerings, now seemed so ridiculous and so futile to her.

It's no longer necessary.

For the first time, this realization came so clearly to Luo Hao's mind.

Even if she immediately initiated the ritual, successfully summoning one or two disobedient gods and hunting them down, what then? 657

Can it keep up with Genichi Hanyu's terrifyingly inhuman efficiency?

Summoning a disobedient god always comes at a huge price!

It's not just about consuming a huge amount of magical power, but also about damaging one's spirit and even the very essence of life!

Even Luo Hao couldn't use it frequently without limit!

How many times can she summon it?

once?

twice?

Even if he summoned three times at the cost of great exhaustion and hunted down three gods, he would only have just caught up with Genichi Hanyu's record in one day!

And this month has only just passed less than halfway!

Who knows how many more that monster will kill in the remaining ten days or so?!

We can't catch up, we simply can't catch up.

From the very beginning, the outcome of this bet was already predetermined.

What she considered a fair competition was a complete joke in the face of the opponent's unbelievable efficiency.

I'm definitely going to lose.

An indescribable bitterness and dejection welled up in Luo Hao's heart, a rare occurrence.

Her spine, which had stood straight for two hundred years, now showed a hint of weariness and hunchback.

She waved her hand, her voice slightly hoarse and weary: "The ceremony is canceled. All offerings are sealed away. Everyone leave the valley."

The followers looked at each other, not daring to ask any questions. They could only respectfully accept the order and retreat quietly and quickly, leaving Luo Hao alone. He stood alone in the unfinished summoning circle, which seemed to symbolize a failed fate. Bathed in the cold moonlight, his figure appeared particularly lonely.

For the first time in her life, she, the supreme martial arts master and the king of martial arts, Luo Hao, experienced the meaning of utter, helpless despair.

320 Luo Hao committed suicide; even in death, she could only belong to me.

Genichi Hanyu stands on the edge of a cliff on a private island in the Mediterranean, the sea breeze ruffling his dark hair.

He had just finished finishing up at the previous hunting ground and was filtering through the list provided by Pandora in his mind, weighing which region and which god he should choose for his next target to obtain the most valuable or interesting powers.

While this kind of hunting with a strategy guide is extremely efficient, it inevitably becomes somewhat boring over time.
