Danrito, become a consultant for the Millennium Game!

"In the server fragments that were shattered by the artillery, there is a portion of the Collapse Virus that you left behind."

Seeing that things had developed to this point, Tianqin no longer concealed her background.

"And I was cultivated from that part of the Hougen virus. And the reason I call you Mother Himari is because she was the one who was responsible for cultivating me."

"I, born from this, am the 'Star Lyra'."

"so……"

Danrito suddenly felt sweaty.

Having guessed what Danrito was thinking, Tianqin just sat on the ground, looking like a loser, but suddenly smiled brightly: "So according to our relationship, I should call you 'Dad'~"

Shock.

Big shock.

a bolt from the blue!

It was the first time that Danrito had ever felt so intractable, or so lost as to where to begin. Despite being clad in the all-powerful God Extreme Armor, he felt as if he had no place to exert his strength.

"Hmm... well... the kinship between the Collapsers, I've never really considered that."

While Dan Lidou was struggling with his thoughts, Tian Qin had already stood up from the ground. She patted the not-so-obvious dust on her skirt. Only then did Dan Lidou take a serious look at Tian Qin's face.

"But, speaking of which, your face and hair...why do you look so much like that Himari?"

Danrito was a little annoyed, though he had no idea where this annoyance came from. "If you were a Collapse-Origin Body derived from my data, shouldn't you look more like me?"

"Because before I developed my mind, it was Mother Himari who took care of me."

Tianqin smiled and said, "The first face I saw when I was born was also Mother Himari's face, so of course I was molded according to her image."

Since the Collapse Protist is a data life form, its growth and cognitive formation are different from those of ordinary carbon-based life.

When Tianqin inherited the original knowledge from her database and had a clear understanding of her identity as the source of collapse, she was completely "enlightened".

"So you sneaked into the Chronicles game event to boost the momentum of your Origin cartridge, which has yet to be released?"

Danrito hasn't untransformed yet, but the tense atmosphere between the two has disappeared.

For Danrito, having such a wonderful emotional conversation with his nominal daughter is a novel experience that he has never had before.

Just like Danrito's own talent, a genius like Danrito who is above the world has never thought that he will have a woman worthy of him and will enter the marriage palace.

Judging by Danrito's standards, there is probably no woman in this world who can catch his eye.

And now, standing before Danrito was a living daughter. Although for Danrito, whether Tianqin should call him father or mother was still a matter of debate.

Because from a biological point of view, the birth of a child should be related to the mother, while the responsibility of raising the child generally lies with the father.

Maybe Danrito should be called "Mom" and Hinata "Dad"?

"No... Even for a genius like me, this is the first time I've seen such a chaotic situation."

Danrito shook his head, trying to banish this strange knowledge from his mind. Tianqin, standing before him, smiled and said, "That's right, Dad. As I just said, the final stage of the Chronicle event, where mysteries collide most intensely, should have a certain effect on my Origin Cartridge generation."

"And your entrance, Dad, is the most crucial coincidence among all of this."

"And the end result is this."

Tianqin took out the cassette from her arms. Since she had already talked it out with Tanli in front of her, and the other party had no intention of not recognizing her as his daughter, Tianqin took out her cassette with confidence.

"Creation Simulation." A game cartridge based on the Kasara Grid's sacred number 12, the perfect calculation principle of the origin of the universe."

Tianqin shook the cartridge in her hand. "Game cartridges created based on this principle can continuously perform self-calculations and ultimately achieve a perfectly harmonious structure."

"That is to say, level 50 is not my end point. After this, I will continue to evolve."

Tianqin nodded to her father and said, "Of course, it's not as exaggerated as the billion-level you randomly filled in, but it will at least be a cartridge that exceeds level 99."

Danrito tilted his head slightly. For him, this was a first-time father. He hadn't even gotten married or had children yet, but he'd unexpectedly skipped all the tedious formalities and fast-forwarded straight to "I have a daughter."

It is different from those collapse sources that are created incidentally during the manufacture of cassettes, or those that directly transform students into collapse sources.

For Danrito, Tianqin is a part of the data within his own body. After a period of proliferation, it has been restored to an individual.

However, when shaping himself, he did not use Danrito's own personality as a benchmark. Instead, he was a sample that Himari obtained by chance, and was born in a different training environment, making him an individual completely different from Danrito himself.

Perhaps to some extent, the relationship between Tianqin, who was born in this way, and Tanlito is unexpectedly the most normal parent-child relationship.

"Alright, considering this level of relationship, I'll temporarily let you off the hook for disrupting the Battle Royale event. Now, get out of the Chronicles venue."

Tan Lidou waved his hand at Tianqin, telling her to leave. This was also the first time he had dealt with such a strange family relationship. In the past, he and Tan Zhengzong had always fought each other with swords drawn. How could they have such affectionate feelings?

At that time, he only had dangerous zombies to use. He made an invincible zombie, but it could only be used on Yongmeng. He could only last for 10 seconds at most, and was beaten by the opposite Kronos every day.

Now, looking at Tianqin in front of him, who claimed to be his daughter, Danrito suddenly felt an unnecessary emotion from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes~Dad~"

Tianqin didn't hesitate and ran off: "My cassette is already made, so there's no point in trying to snatch Dad's Chronicle cassette here."

"Get lost! How dare you steal my cassette?"

Danrito cursed lightly. He was originally unhappy about his game cartridge being produced by someone else, but what if that person was his own daughter?

Dan Lidou suddenly became a bit hypocritical.

"Hmph, let's think about these things later."

Danrito stretched out his hand to remove the space that restricted Tianqin. The time around him began to flow as Tianqin's transformation was lifted. Momo and the others who were knocked away fell to the ground.

⑧①④⑨ ling ③Qi Bar

"Then you should withdraw from the competition yourself."

Danrito flew back to the stage he had been standing on and reached out to cancel his transformation. "Have Himari call me personally later!"

"I know~"

Tianqin directly transformed into the Collapse virus and left the venue directly along the game field.

“It hurts, it hurts… What on earth happened…”

Lying on the ground in a daze, Xiao Tao, not knowing what had happened, rubbed her butt and let out a familiar cry: "Ku Ya Xi..."

310. The dust has settled

"What just happened..."

Xiao Tao's face was filled with a frown of pain and a bewildered expression, as if she hadn't figured out what was going on. Xiao Tao and the others' transformations were undone, leaving them feeling as if they'd been beaten up.

"My whole body hurts..."

Xiaolu struggled to stand up from the ground and rubbed his waist: "What happened in the blink of an eye..."

Alice straightened up, propping herself up with her electromagnetic cannon, her face a mask of pain. "Alice's HP has dropped... I need a recovery potion..."

Being beaten while time is frozen is something no one would believe. Even if one has experienced the magical power of game cartridges and the ability to control time, it's not something one can imagine immediately. In Xiaotao's experience, the next moment, she suddenly appeared in mid-air with excruciating pain all over her body. As she fell, the transformation automatically dissipated.

"Princess, we were just attacked."

After the transformation ended, Kei naturally returned to Alice's body. At this moment, she seemed to recall what had happened: "Maybe the huge amount of damage caused in a very short period of time was the reason why our transformation was instantly undone."

On the other side, the same thing happened to Shi, who was also affected. Although her "weapons" were equipped with defensive positions, after being hit by Kronos's punch, the impact of over a hundred tons of force completely paralyzed her weapons. She was now struggling to tear the gloves that were stuck on her hands and feet.

"Oh~Lucky~Now is a good time to collect heads~"

As the time pause ended, the disruptive green knight, Kronos, also disappeared. In the center of the battlefield, Momo and the other two, who had just been severely beaten, had no strength left to fight back. Asuna shot them all out with one shot each.

"We've entered the final round, and the Battle Royale event is about to decide the winner!"

With the start of the fifth shrinking circle, the battlefield was compressed to a near-face-to-face situation. The remaining members of the Abydos team, Hoshino, Shiroko, and Serika, faced Akane, Asuna, and Toki of the Millennium Maid Club, separated by roughly the width of a street. All around them were elimination zones, already at maximum damage. After a few dozen seconds, the elimination zones would shrink further until they disappeared completely.

However, it should be rare for someone to be able to completely shrink the circle in just the first battle royale match, right?

"The enemy's greatest firepower is that armed maid just now, right?"

Hoshino observed the enemy's firepower configuration. "Kronos must have disabled her weapon just now, which is a good thing for us. If they can still release lasers now, we won't be able to dodge them."

"The circle is about to close..." Qin Xiang looked behind her worriedly at the red elimination zone only two or three meters away from her: "Should we take the initiative to start the attack?"

"Don't worry, get your status up first." Bai Zi reached into his backpack and pulled out the largest, longest-lasting full recovery item, then gave himself full armor and full health. "When we fight later, it'll be a one-shot match, and we won't have the luxury of using items like this then."

"Shiroko-san is right." Hoshino took out the same shield battery from his backpack and filled it up. "Use this item. We'll use up all the throwing weapons later. Use whatever you have. Just follow behind the uncle and push forward."

After restoring their shields, the three pulled out grenades, Molotov cocktails, and smoke bombs from their backpacks, using whatever they had. Since the circle had shrunk so far, was there any need to ask where to hide? Just point a warning at the hiding place and it would be over!

"Throw weapons!"

Asuna spotted the flying gadgets and raised her rifle, firing at the most threatening grenades and Molotov cocktails. However, several more tactical gadgets were still hurled their way, and moments later, the sounds of explosions and burning rang out. Forced to flee from their hiding place, Akane and the others were forced to flee.

But, in this final round, how many shelters can be used for tactical transfer?

"Ah... I'll go first and wait for you in the audience seats."

Zhu Yin watched her shield and health points dwindle, surrounded by flames from thrown Molotov cocktails. She couldn't help but sigh, "If it were a normal battle, I definitely wouldn't let the team get into this situation... This shrinking circle really is pure luck."

The next moment, Akane was eliminated. But the surroundings gradually filled with smoke. Asuna had a lot of smoke bombs in her backpack, and when Hoshino and the others began to attack with throwing weapons, Asuna also began to throw smoke bombs all over the battlefield.

"Let's fill the entire battlefield with smoke!"

Asuna believed in her luck: "In this way, there will be cover everywhere! It's just a matter of finding the enemy in the smoke. I am very confident in my luck!"

"Senior Hoshino, there's smoke everywhere!" Serika said anxiously, "What should we do now?"

"Well, the other side has some ideas too~" Hoshino laughed: "It doesn't matter. If we fight head-on, I'm confident that I will win in the end!"

Helicopters hovering in the air are not affected by the elimination zone. If you enter the game without using the "Chronicle Player" cartridge, you will not be able to see the elimination zone.

"The whole place is filled with smoke! I can't even see what's going on!" Shiyin shouted in distress. "Isn't this going to make it impossible to broadcast at all?"

Danrito was able to directly broadcast scenes that normal cameras couldn't capture, leveraging the unique nature of the game. From the audience, fragments of the images emerged, depicting the intense battle unfolding within the smoke.

The smoke created by the props will dissipate in about twenty seconds, and Asuna and Tokiya know that this is their only chance of victory.

As long as Asuna is lucky as usual and the smoke evens out the cover advantage between them, why not give it a try? Maybe you can win big with a small investment?

"Little boy, you go from that side, I'll go from this side—are there any grenades left?"

Although Asuna believed in her luck, she wasn't completely reliant on it. Now that the smoke had been laid, she wanted to force the enemy out from behind cover, and the remaining projectiles in her hand would come in handy.

"I remembered that location before." Shi nodded.

The two exchanged glances, then separated and rushed in opposite directions. Asuna grabbed a dart in her hand and aimed it at the back of the bunker in her memory: "Throwing Arc Star~"

A dart with electric light drew an arc and hit Qinxiang squarely.

"Eh? What is that?"

Qinxiang was stunned for a moment, and the next second, the dart exploded with lightning, leaving only half of Qinxiang's shield that had just been fully charged.

"Mo—! Why is it me again?"

"spread!"

Hoshino jumped over the cover in front of him, and Baizi immediately chose a position and ran away: "The enemy will be outflanking us soon, so let's act separately from now on!"

"What... I know!" Serika gritted her teeth. The surroundings were shrouded in lingering white mist, and the sound of footsteps mingled in the air. It was hard to tell whether it was Shiroko and the others who had just escaped, or Asuna and Toki who were about to attack. Serika, panicking, knew she shouldn't stay where she was. The explosive dart had already proven this position unsafe.

"Ah, never mind! Anyway, just pick a direction!"

She hurriedly took out a small recovery item from her backpack, and while using the item, she randomly chose a direction in the center of the battlefield and started moving. As soon as she took a step forward, she heard a burst of gunfire from behind. The position where she had just been was hit by more than a dozen bullets, which scared her so much that the hair on her ears stood up.

"Hey, hey, hey! Is it so accurate?"

Qinxiang was almost scared to death and screamed. The dozen or so bullets just now hit the place where she was squatting accurately. If she hadn't run out a few steps earlier, she would have been killed, right?

"It didn't hit..." Asuna heard the sound of bullets hitting the bunker and made a conclusion. Then, without hesitation, she rushed forward, took two quick steps, and raised her rifle based on her instincts. "Hmm~ Let's shoot in this direction?"

Asuna pulled the trigger without hesitation. In the fog that obscured any vision, Asuna heard a wailing sound coming from a distance.

"——How can she shoot so accurately? Does she have X-ray vision?"

After being transported to the audience, Serika lowered her head in frustration. Ayane and Nomiya, who were also in the loser group, smiled and comforted the depressed Serika: "Luck is also a part of my strength, it's okay!"

Asuna on this side relied on metaphysics and luck to get rid of Serika. But Shi on the other side was not so lucky. She did not have the same good luck as Asuna, and she was able to see through the smoke and collide with Hoshino who was in full force and serious state.

"There's not enough space left to continue the fight, unfortunately."

Although Shi did not underestimate Hoshino and even gave her 100% effort, it was not only because the circle was shrinking, which caused the fighting area to be compressed to the extreme, but also Hoshino Kotoko, who is currently the strongest fighter in Abydos, is not much inferior to her captain Nero.
