Chapter 75: Island Shattered, Land Sunk, S-Rank Title

Molten magma seas rose into the air, while loose earth and fire elements converged.

Tens of thousands of magical meteors, carrying temperatures of six thousand degrees, bombarded the land within a hundred thousand square kilometers centered on Mount Fuji.

A B-Rank nation-destroying natural disaster descended upon the mortal realm; a rain of heavenly fire meteors fell as densely as a storm.

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

"Boom—!"

The Benzhoudao area was 227,000 square kilometers; a single B-Rank forbidden spell covered nearly half of it. It blasted the island's surface into a riddled mess, as if the world itself were trembling.

A massive mushroom cloud that blotted out the sky ascended, and the six-thousand-degree flames spread in its wake, incinerating everything they touched without end.

Life? Plants? Buildings? A nation?

Too weak! They were unable to withstand a single blow in the face of natural disaster.

The Tokyo Prefecture, 80 kilometers away, was the first to perish.

The remnants of the Fusang people in the sea of fire caught a glimpse of six-thousand-degree cherry blossoms blooming in their homeland before they died.

Piles upon piles, they were no longer distinguishable from one another.

They finally found release from the suffering of the past two and a half years.

……

The chain reaction of the volcanic eruption followed closely behind.

A pillar of fire that pierced through heaven and earth surged upward.

Magma rained down like a downpour, doubling the destruction caused by the forbidden spell scroll.

"The Magical Girl is the Law" might be a "Fifth-Rank beast" who harvests leeks,

but the items she sells are absolutely worth the price; when she says she'll destroy a nation, she doesn't offer any discounts.

The chain reaction of the volcanic eruption followed closely behind.

The volcanic chain stretching from the Mariana Trench to northern Honshu had one of its links shattered, and the remaining dormant volcanoes responded to the "leader's" call one after another.

One after another, pillars of fire erupted into the sky, causing the fault lines between the Eurasian Plate and the Pacific Plate to shake, while waves dozens of meters high swept over the surrounding land and islands.

The planet was bleeding, life was wailing, and the apocalypse had arrived on schedule.

……

Relying on the protection of the "100% Power Life Field," Xu Kequan, who sat securely in the "audience seats," was dumbfounded, her jaw nearly dropping to the floor.

"Holy mother of... I'll be damned!!"

"Is this a Paradise player? This is god-tier fighting, isn't it?!"

……

Mount Fuji Region.

The Moon Apostle, having activated the "Life Field," ignored the 6,000-degree heat; the volcanic ash had no effect on her, and she only needed to dodge the initial meteor shower to remain unscathed.

The "Flame Demon Sword: Laevateinn," wreathed in magical flames, clashed hard against the "Electromagnetic Pulse Blade" flickering with purple-black electric arcs.

The two, moving at supersonic speeds, clashed rapidly; the sea of fire and the thunderclouds became mere backdrops for them.

They fought from the sky to the earth, and from the earth back to the sky.

The already devastated ruins became even more shattered and broken by their combat.

Possessing spatial abilities and "Life Field" defense, the Moon Apostle gradually gained the upper hand.

She dared to take Flandre's attacks head-on, trading energy consumption for the result of inflicting wounds on the enemy.

The little vampire, however, dared not withstand the "Electromagnetic Pulse Blade" that could melt molecular chemical bonds, so she was inevitably constrained in her fighting style.

"Bad guy! Big bad guy!!"

Flandre cursed in anger, waving the Flame Demon Sword to unleash thousands of magical flames, which fused with the sea of magma to form a massive group of fire serpents.

The fire serpents reared up, opened their giant maws, and hissed as they lunged at the Moon Apostle.

*"Spatial Teleportation!"*

The Moon Apostle vanished in an instant, fighting steadily and maintaining the rhythm of the battle, ignoring Flandre's mad-dog-like attacks.

A look of cunning success flashed in the little vampire's crimson eyes. A medical miracle! She had actually started using her brain!

Flandre knew very well that her comprehensive strength was on par with the Moon Apostle's; neither could do anything to the other in a short time.

"Has the mission not ended yet? Then use the B-Rank forbidden spell scroll too."

Forcing the Moon Apostle back, little Flandre tore open the final B-Rank forbidden spell scroll.

【Name: Forbidden Spell Scroll: Magical Girl Transformation!】

Type: Magic-side, one-time consumable

Effect: Converges high-concentration fire elements, earth elements, and a faint "Concept of Yang," using the body as a core to construct a super-giant lava construct (5,000 meters tall). The duration depends on the amount of magic power.

Creator: Player: "The Magical Girl is the Law"

Comprehensive Evaluation: B-

The scroll shattered, and the sealed magic power surged out; the tide of magic caused the heavens and earth to change color.

The Pacific Plate and the Eurasian Plate shook violently, the Ring of Fire erupted completely, and the sea of fire ravaging the lands surged toward Flandre.

Magma as the body, flames as the blood, magic as the source!

A 5,000-meter-tall lava giant rose from the ground; even a stomp could cause the island beneath its feet to sink by several meters.

"Little bug, don't you like to run?"

"Run for me to see again!!"

The lava giant crouched down, touched the earth with its mountain-like palms, and drew the remaining magma nearby to forge a super-giant magic sword ten thousand meters long.

At this scale, there was no need for mortal techniques; every move possessed the power to shake heaven and earth.

Using a cross-rank one-time scroll, Flandre's mind was entirely occupied by maintaining the lava giant, and even if she wanted to use magic, she couldn't.

The 5,000-meter-tall giant swung its ten-thousand-meter sword, slashing toward the Moon Apostle.

*"Spatial Teleportation!"*

The overly dense tide of magic interfered with the stability of the spatial structure, causing the Moon Apostle's energy consumption to soar, and she only managed to dodge Flandre's casual strike just as the sword descended.

The Moon Apostle escaped, but Benzhoudao could not.

The sword slashed the earth, and the subsequent high-intensity earthquake was the groan of the island unable to bear the weight.

Heat waves rolled, and fiery energy rose.

A chasm stretching tens of thousands of meters and over a hundred meters deep appeared, resembling a bleeding wound.

"Little bug, if you don't fight Flandre, then Flandre will shatter Fusang! Don't come crying to me if the mission fails!"

Flandre manipulated the lava giant and began a highly efficient demolition project.

*'The magic power sealed by the Magical Girl sister, plus Flandre's own magic power, should last for half an hour, which should be enough!'*

Magic power sealed in the forbidden spell scroll: 29 minutes 59 seconds.

Flandre's remaining magic power: 1 second.

A classic case of "me and the big boss killing everything together!"

The Moon Apostle, flying thousands of meters in the air, sat idly by, letting Flandre destroy the island chain.

Every slash of the giant sword shook the island's structural stability.

The seawater swallowed the island inch by inch, and the sinking of the land into the ocean was imminent.

……

On another battlefield, the Blood Apostle (Red Queen) vs. Two-Fold Style.

The two high-agility assassins attacked and slaughtered each other; in front of the lava giant manipulated by Flandre, their destructive power seemed insignificant.

Seeing her homeland's counterparts destroyed, Two-Fold Style's eyes were bloodshot as she slashed wildly.

"Is she another player from your demon faction?! Answer me!"

Red Queen blocked the magic blade's strike with her blood scythe, the death lines of which were severed.

Red Queen was unhurried, using the high-mobility "Spatial Teleportation" to blink away.

She had tested it; the current "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" could not break the "100% Power Life Field" crystal wall defense.

Flandre's "Death Eye Destruction" could drain 0.75% of the "Energy Core 1.0" energy reserve with a single hit.

Two-Fold Style's "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception" was even more ruthless, cutting away 13.68% of the "Energy Core 1.0" energy with a single blade.

After being slashed nine times in a short period, the "Energy Core 1.0" energy would be depleted.

To continue fighting, she could only draw energy from the "Infinite City Energy Hub" to maintain the "Life Field."

But since Meng Yi was currently the one consuming the bulk of the "Infinite City Energy Hub," how could Red Queen hold Meng Yi back?

Therefore, Red Queen chose a strategy of retreating when the enemy advanced and attacking when the enemy retreated.

She would rather discard her blood scythe and run than face Two-Fold Style head-on.

"Huh? Friend, are you referring to that big lava guy?"

"I'm wronged, friend; she's that vampire from your Demon Slayer Corps faction. What does she have to do with our demon faction?"

"Friend, you can't just spout nonsense without proof~"

As the blood scythe was being reshaped, Red Queen spoke with a smile.

She fired a "Railgun" shot, forcing Two-Fold Style to raise her blade to kill the incoming lightning bolt, stalling her advance.

"What? That Western vampire?!"

Two-Fold Style was stunned for a moment.

In a battle of this level, a single instant could determine victory or defeat.

Red Queen seized the opportunity, initiated a teleportation, and countered with a combo.

Two-Fold Style, her body covered in black spider lily patterns, plummeted into the sea of magma, splashing waves dozens of meters high.

*'A pity, I didn't pluck those eyes of hers, but a few cell samples will have to do.'*

Red Queen looked calm, using her Level 2 authority to open a spatial channel and send Two-Fold Style's cell samples back to the "Infinite City Time-Space Fortress."

"Hey~~ friend~~, don't hide~~, doesn't the magma bath feel hot?"

"Your temporarily boosted C+ physique is fine, but can your clothes handle it?"

"Oh my, could it be that you see me as a female individual and think exposure doesn't matter?"

"How eye-stinging! What kind of weird fetish is this? You Fusang people really know how to play."

Red Queen, spewing trash talk, kept provoking Two-Fold Style's anger.

"Friend, if you don't come out, I'm going to take out my equipment to record a 'bath-time VCR'?"

"If I put it up for sale in the 'Free Trade Zone' for 1 Paradise Coin, it should sell well, right?"

"! #! @*#%! @#!"

Two-Fold Style cursed very filthily.

Fortunately, her total harvest from the previous dungeon was 2C+1D+1F.

Two C-Ranks were exchanged for "Death Curse Body" + "C-Rank Magic Blade"; the D-Rank World Origin Crystal strengthened her clothing's durability; the F-Rank evaluation bought some medical supplies.

Two-Fold Style, having escaped the sea of magma, had her clothes intact.

Red Queen's idea of filming a video for Meng Yi fell through.

Two-Fold Style's anger exploded, and she attacked Red Queen like a madwoman.

"Friend, a sincere tip: don't be angry; anger lowers your intelligence~"

"SHUT UP!!"

The magic blade cut through the air; Red Queen threw her weapon to block, manipulated the "Blood Apostle" to teleport away.

……

Time ticked away, and Red Queen's trash talk caused Two-Fold Style to break down multiple times, seizing every opportunity to pluck Two-Fold Style's hair, skin, and blood.

Flandre Scarlet's demolition project proceeded smoothly.

The isolated Fourth Island and Kyushu Island were the first to shatter and sink into the sea.

Over 70% of Benzhoudao, the largest in area, was cut into fragments by the lava giant, and the remaining few parts were also submerged by the seawater.

Only the northern North Island remained, gasping for breath.

Just imagine, a monster whose height was equal to the highest peak of the Qilian Mountains and whose weapon was taller than Mount Everest.

Even a slight movement from such a monster could trigger large-scale disasters.

Not to mention being manipulated by an intelligent life form to carry out purposeful destruction.

……

Arctic, 0-degree meridian region.

The sub-zero temperatures of minus fifty degrees and the howling wind and snow had no effect on Meng Yi.

Exhausting the "Infinite City Energy Hub," he spent over twenty minutes achieving resonance between himself and the planet's magnetic field.

Meng Yi wove the frequency fluctuations of the "Evolution True Blood Gene Chain" and the "Complete Demon Gene Chain" into the planet's magnetic field, opening up a brand-new path from nothing.

From this moment on, no matter where on this planet, no matter what form of life.

As long as they were affected by the planet's magnetic field, they had a chance to resonate with the frequency Meng Yi had set, spontaneously condensing "Evolution True Blood" and "Complete Demon," embarking on a path of life-level transformation.

……

The *Tao Te Ching* says: "Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs."

Heaven and earth treat all things equally; they are not especially good to anyone, nor especially bad, letting everything develop naturally.

From the perspective of the World Will, what did the death of 70 million Fusang parasites matter?

If all living things died, what of it?

It could just evolve again.

Players like Meng Yi, who fundamentally enhance the world's potential, are the type of players the World Will likes most; cooperation is a win-win, and rewarding an S-Rank title is only natural.

The "S-Rank Title: Path-Opener" is different from the "S-Rank Title: Foundation of Nirvana"; this is a passive enhancement title.

"The 'Heaven-Defying Comprehension System' created by the 14th-Rank Player, the System Lord—I roughly understand the inspiration behind it now."

Equipping the title, Meng Yi felt no immediate improvement.

"Wait until I analyze the principle of the 'S-Rank Title: Path-Opener' in the future, then I'll find a way to hand-craft a permanent comprehension aura."

Fantasizing about future uses, he left the Arctic magnetic core.

Through the "Blood Apostle: Red Queen" and "Moon Apostle: Moon," he checked on the situation in Fusang from thousands of kilometers away.

"Oh, 'Anti-Fusang General' Flandre really lives up to her name!"

"How unreasonable! You've sunk Fusang, so how am I supposed to farm my combat record?"

Meng Yi said seriously, "How can I let Flandre Scarlet have all the fun? Let me enjoy the remaining Hokkaido!"

The Demon Slayer dungeon is ending; the experiences of Luo Ji and Liuying will be presented tomorrow.

2B+1C is decent; lv5→lv9, it's time for the next dungeon promotion assessment~

With an 80% death rate at the start and no upper limit to the 99.99%, the suffering of the First-Rank noobs is coming.
