The King of Black Fog

"Ha!"

A sapphire Qi Gong wave erupted fiercely from between his palms.

"Qi! Gong!"

He pushed both hands forward suddenly, the sapphire beam as fast as lightning.

The Turtle Hermit didn't transform, nor did he spend a long time gathering Qi. A Qi Gong wave with very little power crashed into Li Changzhou in an instant.

Even so, Li Changzhou was flung away like a kite, his body skipping along the ground like a stone on water.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Qianshu continuously pulled the trigger, bullets piercing through the Turtle Hermit's body... piercing?

Only an afterimage of the Turtle Hermit remained, the real Master Wutian was already standing at a distance, carrying Huihui.

"Young man," Master Wutian said to the struggling-to-stand Li Changzhou, "there's still kindness in your heart. I'll let you go this time; do not do evil again."

Boom!

The ground cracked as the Turtle Hermit leapt onto a tall building, quickly disappearing from their sight.

"Are you okay?" Qianshu rushed to Li Changzhou's side, helping him up.

Li Changzhou's muscles twitched uncontrollably, agony wracking him, but he managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Hey, you don't have to smile if you can't. Sister Qianshu will comfort you!"

Li Changzhou ignored her.

He splayed the fingers of his left hand against the ground he was stepping on.

Spirit and body combined, black currents burned around him, and a black hole-like beam gathered in his palm.

Boom!

The ground exploded into a small bowl-sized crater.

"Did you learn it? That 'Qi'?" Qianshu said in surprise.

"I'm a genius."

"..."

Li Changzhou straightened his body, forcibly enduring the pain.

"What now? Go and rescue Screaming Girl (Huihui)? She might be violated."

"Though Master Wutian is lecherous, he's a respectable grandmaster. Huihui will be fine, perhaps just pinched a bit."

"...Pinching is also harassment!"

"That's how Japanese people are, what can I do?" Li Changzhou retorted, then said, "Let's go, continue the revenge."

"Revenge? Do you know where the sniper is?"

"The Qi will tell me." Li Changzhou raised his head, his eyes looking towards the sky.

In this level, he couldn't use 'ability', and the [Divine Body] was weakened to the extreme, but BYD— no wait, was it Bidili?

The memories were old, Li Changzhou couldn't remember clearly, anyway, it was Satan's daughter, a mere mortal who learned Qi and could use the Dancing in the Air technique, so it was no problem for him.

He picked up Qianshu's backpack with his left hand and flew into the sky with a boom.

Upon learning the way to use 'Qi', relying on his memory and years of flying experience (including time spent in the instance), the Dancing in the Air technique came easily.

"Wow!!" Qianshu clutched Li Changzhou with one arm tightly, while the other pressed her skirt against her backside, "I'm not wearing safety pants!!"

Buildings whizzed past on either side, like two reels of film.

◇

Little Orange pressed the doorbell.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

"Why are you only here now?"

"Ran into some trouble." Little Orange's voice sank.

"Trouble? What... never mind, you weren't followed, right?"

"Don't worry."

"Alright, come on up."

The unit door opened, Little Orange walked inside, waited a bit for the elevator, then entered the cabin, the number 12 already lit up.

The elevator doors slowly closed. A slight pressure change indicated the ascent.

Little Orange stood straight, eyes fixed as the screen numbers climbed from 1 to 2.

3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

The numbers stopped at 7.

Ding!

Little Orange's expression remained unchanged, hands in his pockets as the elevator doors slowly opened from the sides.

"Hey!" Qianshu raised a hand in greeting.

Bang!

A bullet grazed past her hair.

"Ha! Ha!" Qianshu grew excited, not waiting for Little Orange to fire a second shot, bang bang went two more shots.

Little Orange's face twitched; the body, succumbing to intense pain, began to collapse before Qianshu lifted her left hand and pressed something like a grip strength tester.

With two swooshes, two "tapes" launched out, fixing Little Orange's hands to the elevator's mirror-like metal panel.

Qianshu stepped into the elevator cabin.

She had somehow put away her weapon, now cracking her knuckles noisily.

"Now it's Sister Qianshu's elevator training time!"

The elevator doors closed slowly behind her, and Little Orange kicked his legs against the ground, trying to escape from Qianshu.

"S-stay away! Ah!!"

...

Ding!

12th floor, Chisuka stretched and walked out of the elevator.

"Mm—" she let out a contented moan, "So satisfying, so satisfying~"

In the elevator closing slowly behind her, Little Orange was slumped over, her limbs like clay, face bruised and swollen.

The elevator in this apartment led directly inside, Chisuka walked in without changing shoes, and under the chandelier in the living room, Li Changzhou sat at the dining table, eating and drinking heartily.

Three people lay at his feet, all humans, with hair colors in a variety, making it impossible to discern at once who were players and who were characters.

They were all dead.

Chisuka, who had just looked satisfied, withdrew her smile.

Li Changzhou picked up a bowl, using his chopsticks swiftly, shoveling rice into his mouth.

Putting down the bowl, which he had emptied completely, he tossed a piece of fried chicken into his mouth and took a big gulp of milk tea.

Swallowing the food, drinking the milk tea, Li Changzhou stood up.

"Continue." He walked towards the shattered floor-to-ceiling window.

"I have a question." Chisuka followed behind.

"Hm?"

"You've killed tens of billions, sparing no one, so why did you let the sniper go?"

Li Changzhou turned back, extending a finger from the hand holding the milk tea, pointing at the golden-haired JK: "I respect you, he is your prey, you can deal with him as you wish."

He then pointed at himself: "So, I also hope you respect me, respect is mutual."

"You mean, from now on, anyone I catch is up to me?" Chisuka asked.

Li Changzhou took a sip of milk tea, made a toasting gesture, and displayed a Gatsby-like smile, saying: "Of course."

Chisuka sighed: "I like you, kid."

"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou laughed heartily.

He tossed aside the milk tea, grabbed Chisuka's backpack with his left hand, and rushed out of the shattered floor-to-ceiling window.

Bang!

An airwave blasted, scattering papers, and takeout packages in the room, draping them over the corpses, as Li Changzhou held Chisuka close to the window, shooting straight into the sky.

Li Changzhou's expression suddenly changed, quickly twisting his body.

A Thunder Ball flashed past him, exploded on the ground, melting the steel and the ground.

A red dragon body flickered amid the clouds, with menacing red dragon horns, two dragon mouths, the upper one with electricity slowly closing.

The larger lower dragon mouth opened.

"Roar!!"

Furious air currents shot at the two like arrows, forcing Li Changzhou to pause in the air.

Osiris Sky Dragon!

The opponent's attention was not on him.

"Roar——" The dragon's roar was unending, a green Rayquaza, dragging a golden light tail, descended from the Earth's ozone layer.

Osiris Sky Dragon let out an angry roar, flapping its dragon wings, charging upwards.

Rayquaza's dragon body twisted, turning into a meteor.

Boom!

Before the two dragons collided, infinite magic arrays descended, enveloping the god-like Rayquaza and the Osiris Sky Dragon.

Chisuka instinctively turned her head in one direction.

On top of a high-rise, a skeleton in a black robe raised both hands.

"Superposition Magic!"

Swish!

A brilliant light streaked across the sky over Tokyo, like a Rainbow Bridge.

Clad in a miko outfit, Jie Gen, surrounded by Shikigami, drew a second arrow.

The first arrow broke apart in the air before hitting the skeleton, as a girl in military uniform, with a strange box on her chest, wielding a long gun, flew out.

Chisuka saw the girl laughing wildly.

"Comrades, what is our mission? To annihilate! Annihilate without leaving a single one!"

"We have only one task, to create Hell!"

"God, bring down the hammer from Heaven!"

Dong! Dong! Dong!

The Earth trembled, armored giants ran across Tokyo.

Boom!!

A Gundam collided with the armored giant on the street, the airwave shattering all the glass on a street.

In the sky, Rayquaza collided with the Sky Dragon.

"Turtle Style Qi Gong!" In his muscle form, the Turtle Elder roared.

At the end of the blue Qi Gong Wave, countless golden lights converged on the Holy Sword raised by the blonde girl.

"Proud to raise this intent high, determined to pierce through this faith."

"The Ever-Victorious King joyfully chants the true name of the miracle held in hand——"

Altria Pendragon opened her eyes, took a step forward, swinging the Holy Sword at the Turtle Style Qi Gong.

"Excalibur!!"

The entire Tokyo, Heaven and Earth changed.

In the light of various strengths, Chisuka was dumbfounded.

"Sister Chisuka, anyone you catch is yours!"

"This, I... Please go ahead."

"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou laughed uproariously, exploding with Qi, flying out, "Let me see who dares call themselves the 'Ever-Victorious King' in front of me!"
