a cloudless sky, a flash of electricity suddenly streaked through, followed by a thunderous boom; she felt an ominous wind brush past the feathers of the black wings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crow tengu shrank his pupils, dodging the brilliant blue beam that grazed his cheek; a strand of hair from his right earlobe snapped, leaving a small hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man,” said Shamingyuan Wen, a bead of cold sweat tracing down her forehead, “are you trying to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wild dragon qi surged as Su Lin and Meng Qi’s historical projections stepped forward, one ahead, one behind, nine dragon shadows flickering in and out around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I believe in your speed as a Hong Kong journalist.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So agile it was as if she had foreseen the attack—her agility maxed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a Gensokyo journalist!” Shamingyuan Wen retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin glanced at the small notebook in her hand and said, “In our world, those who love spreading rumors and tabloid news are called paparazzi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a malicious term, but this is truly unusual,” Shamingyuan Wen suddenly had an insight:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard dragons are inherently lustful? It makes sense then, Mr. Dragon, that you leave traces everywhere.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of crow, fond of stirring trouble and unrepentant, seemed familiar—perhaps the bankrupt wealthy woman who kept some forum member as her pet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All crows are black alike; the ancients truly did not deceive us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though I don’t care much about my reputation, I’d still be terrified if my name got posted on some blog or book and I got doxxed online.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At eighteen, afraid of online harassment, Su Lin extended his hand and proposed: “How about you publish a sincere retraction with a full apology bow? Then we’ll call it even.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you trying to deprive the public of their right to know the truth?!” Shamingyuan’s eyes hardened: “On my journalistic integrity, I refuse!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zzzzz—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rapidly spinning sword returned from beyond the heavens, piercing through the youkai girl’s chest—but when it landed in Su Lin’s hand, the crow tengu shattered like a reflection in water or a mirage: merely an afterimage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youkai girl darted through space, weaving chaotic storms, convinced she had escaped—until suddenly she saw them, always appearing from every direction like a ghostly loop, and forced a strained smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tick. Tock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Starlike spiritual rain fell gently; the air grew damp, blurring everything around as if she were inside a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within this dream, a dragon trod crimson qi, racing through clouds and mist, humming low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even in Gensokyo, where yin outweighs yang, you shouldn’t harass women like this, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing her interview subject might be dangerous, her survival instinct—forged from years of being hunted down for fabricating gossip—urged her to pull out all stops and flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Spirit Girl!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid vibrations, chaos, and hyperfast particle motion, certain laws seemed disrupted; black storms converged into a single point, the void shattering abruptly, then slowly healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter how fast you are, how can you outpace the cause of all outcomes?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin shrugged at Meng Qi’s lifeless projection: “Sorry—I wasn’t talking about your speed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had the original heard that, he’d have slashed him already. The projection said nothing, only let the chains of cosmic cause and effect stir open a path leading nowhere known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl prayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Youkai Mountain has, since ancient times, been home to many youkai, housing a society tightly interwoven with kappa and tengu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once famed as a highly active volcano, it has lain dormant since its last eruption; even today, smoke continuously rises from its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, Youkai Mountain does not welcome outsiders—whether human or youkai from elsewhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides xenophobia, there is another reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Unstepped Valley\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The racecourse runs from here to the Nine Heavens Waterfall,” announced a kappa youkai, holding a cucumber-shaped microphone; a banner above read in youkai script: [Kappa Tech, World’s Best].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kappa Heavy Industries’ Fifth Mechanism Technology Championship!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Countdown: 3… 2… 1…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice echoed through speakers; after a brief pause, the optical camouflage curtain was ripped away, revealing a vast arena of steel and concrete nestled within the forest, surrounded by mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena floor stood several steel-alloy machines, as tengu and kappa youkai entered them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, as if monstrous beasts roared, explosions erupted—steel transformed into different configurations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their cold metallic exteriors featured streamlined bodies forged from special steel, with metallic scale-feathered wings spread wide; at the front of each machine stood a green-hatted girl with blue hair and a blue dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Variation normal,” she murmured, holding a device:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phase space reconstruction complete. Activate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke from the signal pistol had barely risen before being scattered by the wind; machines shot skyward at absurd speeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding physical space warped like a mirage, becoming untouchable and infinitely extended within a defined range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This way, we won’t get beaten up by that red-and-white shrine maiden for disturbing the peace. Using the power of a living god for research is so convenient—it’s practically a miracle of physics!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kappa were delighted with the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sanae, why don’t you join us in research? Science is Gensokyo’s primary productive force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh… I don’t call something science if you ignore the process and just manufacture results.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lying under a tree, the green-haired girl in her outside-world high school uniform, parched and exhausted, prayed once or twice was fine—but doing this daily would wear her out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an outsider, building good relations with Youkai Mountain’s neighbors was a mandatory lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, after some thought, Sanae agreed to assist the kappa in scientific research using her power as a living god.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then again—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could a robot powered by a sun furnace built from a mess of youkai magic, spells, and the power of the eight-legged crow really be called science?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for a miracle, it would’ve exploded long ago!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the machines racing through the sky, testing their performance, Sanae felt an inexplicable unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This race has no suspense,” remarked a watching tengu, favoring his own kind: “Compared to sluggish kappa, tengu pilots react faster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, voices of dissent rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s there to argue about?” the tengu said, staring at the screen’s afterimage:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In raw pilot skill, it’s definitely Inubashiri Kagi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The special lower-tier sentinel tengu with Qianliyan —her dynamic vision was indeed exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was using her familiarity with the Nine Heavens Waterfall to shake off several kappa machines—when, in the blink of an eye—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several mushroom clouds rose as a blue steel mecha emblazoned with cucumber emblems spun out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Hakurei】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【So naive—weapons are part of the test too.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-hatted girl grinned wickedly inside her cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kappa laughed in response to the tengu’s furious glares: “Hakurei’s victory is well-deserved—she’s the main designer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before the words were fully spoken, the cockpit feed of the blue mecha on screen began to jitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Shamingyuan?!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【I knew something was off—I couldn’t get back! No time to explain—run!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In pure speed, Shamingyuan Wen isn’t out of the question.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No—that’s not even her mecha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using her wind manipulation, Shamingyuan hijacked control, channeling youkai power to alter the machine’s trajectory, ascending against the silver waterfall’s torrent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments, two men appeared where they had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin glanced around, staring at the mechs in bewilderment: “Where the hell did they get these?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this some battlefield between Zeon and Celestial Being?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【All unauthorized personnel must immediately vacate the testing grounds!】 More mechs and youkai surrounded them from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” Su Lin immediately agreed to cooperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He considered himself a quiet, law-abiding man—always willing to follow local rules wherever he went, never causing trouble for strangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pedophile’s mouth went slack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“UNICORN!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A unicorn Gaoda  built by Black King Tech, powered by alchemy—but after previous modifications for the Handcart Racing Championship—including but not limited to divine metal, god-iron, magical runes, and engraved divine patterns—it had long surpassed its original limits and could handle multiple scenarios.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, his innate Pure Light Dao Body was unwell; he couldn’t extract his Golden Core to serve as a power core. If he wanted to boost performance—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin slashed his palm, flinging blood onto the unicorn mecha; the instant he entered the cockpit, nine dragon souls surged into the machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows Dao—Dragon Return to Origin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood qi infused spiritual radiance to carry the dragon souls; the crimson, monstrous mecha shattered barriers and erupted like a red comet, flying inverted up the Nine Heavens Waterfall into the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Achievement Unlocked: The Outsider Who Perfectly Blended Into Gensokyo]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed like an illusion of an achievement notification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No tractor races with radical modifications, no villainous lunatics who destroyed worlds at the drop of a hat, no endless world bugs or crowned responsibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only mech warfare defined by gun barrels and artillery fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt that this complete annihilation of body and spirit was totally worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting for a moment to the weakness of falling from sky to earth, Su Lin pulled the lever: “I will strike in red, horned, triple-speed mode!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wings of light, deploy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faster and sharper than anyone could have anticipated, the unicorn mech swung its blade and tore open the encirclement line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What technique is that? Who’s piloting that mech?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The outsider Su Lin, whom Princess Kaguya secretly wrote about in her diary!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is Su Lin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haven’t you read my latest newspaper?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she got chased again for writing fake news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has outsider human technology really grown to this level?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Komeiji, crammed in the cockpit, saw the mech—its body wrapped in gray dragon-like visual effects, radiating crimson red light—reflected in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everywhere it passed, only steel arms and legs remained; the cockpit itself remained unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human-stick sword technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not vector thrust—this kinetic control is pure art.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Komeiji, who considered herself the best in Gensokyo, momentarily froze, but quickly snapped back and slammed a button in frustration:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My design could never lose to something like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the back of the Kappa Hao , cucumber-shaped projectiles launched. The unicorn, positioned below, casually slashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chain explosions erupted across heaven and earth, cold light sealing every gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great job, Komeiji!” Shidare Fumina sighed in relief as she saw the mech stall—Tengu House atop the Nine Heavens Waterfall would soon reach the finish line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This one’s tough, but thank goodness I got curious and looked into the Kappa and Tengu mech operation manuals earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it’s tough, it won’t interfere with Gensokyo’s public right to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Shidare Fumina was moved by her own professional spirit, a projection appeared in the cockpit: a Traditional Chinese character warning—【High-energy reaction detected behind】.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are outsider mechs all monsters?!” Komeiji paled as she stared at her empty weapon bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—mechs can’t even touch my feathers,” Shidare boasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you dare insult science!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the aid of wind, the Kappa Hao  vanished beyond visual range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin activated his external launcher, opened the cannon mouth, and let Meng Qi’s historical projection grip the Absolute Blade and step into the firing position:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Human Cannon: Level One Ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was an illusion or not, Meng Qi’s historical projection’s face twitched imperceptibly—but as the hatch sealed, violent, destructive violet lightning surged within the barrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cause of All Results loaded.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subtle cavities holding the universe’s Chuxing  collapsed entirely; the projection sacrificed itself to summon a shimmering, illusory river—no origin, no destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Nine Heavens Waterfall merged with the illusory river; countless figures converged from other universes, and in a flash of fleeting time, the violet blade-light of the phantom sword cut silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The final slash of the Six Slashes of the Conqueror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hiss—like fabric tearing, or nails scraping a chalkboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Kappa Hao , now reduced to half a cockpit, Shidare Fumina stared blankly at the shattered phase space and the vanished upper half of the mech, sweat trickling down her cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared for two seconds at the Unicorn Gundam now behind her, its reloaded cannon aimed at her:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Tenshi! Save me!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Human Cannon, enchanted with Cause of All Results, inflicted damage far beyond Su Lin’s expectations. Meng Qi, only a Earth Immortal, had become this terrifying—he wondered if the guy had been pretending to be weak all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Fool · Loaded] Complete\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It might hurt a bit at first—maybe tentacles will appear. Doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Lin’s front screen captured the dynamic image of the demon girl, her eyes slowly dulling into vacant foolishness: “I’ll just hypnotize her afterward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached to pull the trigger, but a red dot on the screen kept zooming in—something threatening was hurtling toward them outside the damaged phase space?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zoom in. Zoom in again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A red-and-white shrine maiden flew through the air, her head embedded with blue steel shards.
