Crossover Anime: Mortal Slays Demons, Achieving Supernatural Power

Page 249

"Good lad, you've really brought honor to our Celestial Empire this time."

Zhongli, who remained somewhat aloof after canceling his Burning Life Demon Lord status, nodded slightly.

"It should."

Seeing that Zhongli's condition was somewhat abnormal, the Old Celestial Master frowned slightly.

"Have your feelings been worn down?"

Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded, let out a soft breath, and her expression softened slightly.

"Yes, the side effects of the move will be gone soon."

The old master nodded, offering his concerned reminder.

"Then you'll have to be careful with how you use it in the future."

It's not a good thing to have your emotions worn down.

Even the strongest person is devoid of emotion and desire.

It's impossible to reach the highest point.

"Oh, right, these two rings are for you."

"It's a top-tier miracle product that the old conman gave you; it works pretty well."

As he spoke, the old master handed over two rings.

Zhongli accepted the ring without ceremony and immediately examined its abilities.

【The Ring of Dreams】

Ability: Dreams can become reality

Effect: The impact created in a dream can transfer into reality.

It is also possible to transfer the influence of reality into dreams, but one will be in a sleep state for one second.

The Dark Ring

Ability: End of Darkness

Effect: Unleashes all-consuming darkness, plunging the world into an eternally still dimension.

……

After seeing the effects of the two rings, Zhongli's face lit up with joy.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier artifact; its abilities and effects are exceptionally powerful.

It can be compared to the divine artifact, the Star Chain, that Tai Sui Xing Jun (the Grand Duke Jupiter) possessed.

As for the artifact Demon God Ring that Malbus dropped.

Zhong Li really couldn't bear to look.

I was initially surprised to learn that being able to crush other people's hearts at will was quite impressive.

But looking back now, crushing a heart seems incredibly weak.

It's as if someone can't live without a heart.

Seeing that Zhongli was satisfied with the two divine artifacts, the old celestial master also smiled and said.

"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot. You can be happy when we get back."

Now I'll take you back.

As he spoke, the old celestial master grabbed Zhongli's shoulder, raised his hand and slapped him, shattering the space around him.

They reappeared, now in the skies over Tokyo in the middle of the night.

"Okay, you go back."

Upon hearing this, Zhongli nodded.

But seeing that the old master was preparing to leave now, he still spoke up.

"Old Celestial Master, aren't you going to check on Jinglan?"

Upon hearing this, the old master paused, a look of doting affection on his face.

But then he waved his hand.

“No, no.

I can't stay out for too long.

If you're so inclined, bring Jinglan to visit me again during your next long holiday.

With that, he stepped out, shattered the void, and disappeared.

As he watched the shattered void recover, Zhongli couldn't help but sigh.

"Is this what the strongest person is?"

With a mere gesture, they shattered the void; their aura was truly impressive.

After expressing his feelings, Zhongli stepped out.

His body was refreshed, and he was instantly back at his home in Huaxing Apartment.

Yes, now the Eye of Divine Power has been developed to the point where it can recreate past spaces.

Zhongli can now return to any of his destinations within a second.

Even the narrow, crevice-like worlds that Zhongli had visited before, he could now travel to.

It's just a matter of how much is consumed.

……

At home on the other side.

Ai Kamishiro, Mashu, and Siduri.

Even in the middle of the night, I was still watching the news live.

After Adam and Zhongli clashed, a large number of supreme beings appeared in the world, and the two disappeared not long afterward.

The three of them were very worried.

If it weren't for the fact that all three of them were connected to Zhongli and could sense that Zhongli was alright, they wouldn't have been able to tell that he was unharmed.

It's estimated that the group has already started looking for backup.

"Why hasn't Lord Zhongli appeared yet?"

The company hasn't replied either; Aiyi is so worried!

Ai Kamishiro held her phone, watching TV, her face full of worry.

"Yes, Lord Zhongli left too quickly."

If you take me with you, I can use my Mind Shield to help you out.

Mashu waved the cross-shaped shield in a complaining manner.

Seeing that Ai and Mashu were anxious, Siduri could only comfort them from the sidelines.

"Don't worry.

"Lady Scáthach just informed me that Zhongli has finished his business and should be back soon."

I heard accurate news about Zhongli.

Ai and Mashu were delighted and wanted to ask more questions.

Then Zhongli's voice came from behind.

"Hmm, Master is so powerful that he can see my battle in the Rift World?"

Upon hearing this, Ai and Mashu looked back and saw that Zhongli had returned unharmed.

The two were immediately overjoyed and rushed forward to hug Zhongli.

"Lord Zhongli, you've finally returned."

Ai-yi was almost worried to death.

Ai Kamishiro hugged Zhongli's neck, her fair and tender face rubbing against him.

"Lord Zhongli, are you alright?"

Let me see if you're alright.

Mashu kept touching Zhongli's body with her two small hands to check if he was injured.

Seeing that Ai and Mashu were worried, Zhongli smiled and patted their heads to comfort them.

"Don't worry.

What could possibly happen to me?

Besides, the strongest experts from our Celestial Empire have all come out; it's very safe."

With Zhongli's reassurance, the two finally felt relieved.

At this moment, Siduri also stepped forward and smiled.

"Congratulations, Lord Zhongli, on your triumphant return from this battle."

Judging from Lord Zhongli's happy expression, he must have gained a lot.

"Haha, thank goodness."

This was a very fruitful experience.

Not only did they bring back Jeanne d'Arc (both black and white), but they also obtained two divine artifacts and experienced a dramatic increase in power.

Speaking of this harvest, Zhongli's face was full of joy.

Originally, I only wanted to bring back Black and White Joan of Arc.

Unexpectedly, there was an extra artifact to be gained in a battle that boosted physical constitution.

Even the development of supernatural powers has been elevated to a new level.

It would be very difficult to have another battle of Adam's caliber.

And so, Zhongli shared his joy with the three women.

Suddenly remembering that Black and White Jeanne were still sealed inside the Demon Coffin, he said to the three of them.

"Alright, it's already quite late."

You should go and rest first.

I still need to deal with and appease the situation regarding the Black and White Joan of Arc.

Upon hearing this, Mashu suddenly raised her hand.

"Lord Zhongli, Mashu wants to come along too."

I think my presence here will be helpful in comforting Lady Joan of Arc.

Zhongli thought about it and nodded.

"Okay, Mashu, come with me."

Then Zhongli took out the Void Realm and enveloped himself and Mashu within it.

After all, the way they obtained Jeanne d'Arc in black and white was a bit too crude.

To avoid any accidents, it's best to take them to an open space.

Upon arriving in the smaller dimension, Zhongli retrieved the demon coffin and released Black and White Jeanne d'Arc.

As expected, Black and White Joan of Arc had just been released.

The two men then cautiously took out their respective flags, drew their swords, and faced Zhongli.

Jeanne Alter said fiercely.

"Damn it, are you here to fight me too?"

Bai Zhende wasn't particularly angry, but she remained on guard.
