Chapter 2523

Finally, when Ryōgi Shiki expressionlessly slew the last three Tyranid creatures, a crisp voice rang out in the ears of every member of Suoyougong Society.

"Ding! Guild Master Su Xiao Xiao has earned 80,000 points! Tomoe Magoichi has earned 20,000 points."

Sakata Gintoki has earned 20,000 points.

Ryōgi Shiki has earned 2.

50,000 points.

Hakkō Shinken has earned 1.

50,000 points.

Gudako has earned 20,000 points.

Hongmao has earned 20,000 points."

Su Han clicked his tongue, stepped forward, and appeared instantly back in his original spot.

Shimura Shinpachi's eyebrow twitched—he was clearly startled by Su Han's unpredictable movements.

But he quickly calmed himself.

He bit his lower lip and said nothing.

Sakata Gintoki, Hakkō Shinken, and the others, having ended the battle, descended one by one from the sky.

"Finally done!"

Sakata Gintoki sheathed Dōyō Lake with a sigh. "I haven't gone all out in a long time… My skills have grown rusty from this fight."

"... That's just you being lazy."

Tomoe Magoichi glanced at Sakata Gintoki. "The Guild has such excellent conditions—there's a virtual battlefield where you can fight top-tier powerhouses from all over! If you didn't want to, how could you possibly let yourself slack off?"

"Don't say that!"

Sakata Gintoki waved his hand awkwardly. "I'm not the old… Hakkyōsa anymore! Now, I'm just Sakata Gintoki, the ordinary guy."

Tomoe Magoichi merely sneered in disdain.

"Since the mission is complete, we should return."

Su Han said softly.

He had no interest in mediating their argument.

"Already? Then have a safe—uh!"

Sakata Gintoki's sentence broke off as he sensed something wrong—he frantically scanned the ruined room and wailed.

"Master Guild Master, could you please fix my house and street before you leave next time?"

But his words came too late.

Brilliant light enveloped Su Han and the others; when it faded, their figures vanished.

A flicker of despair passed through Sakata Gintoki's eyes, then he remembered something and looked toward Tomoe Magoichi and Hakkō Shinken with faint hope.

But the two were slinging arms over each other's shoulders, walking away into the distance.

Sakata Gintoki stared, dumbfounded: ""

Are you kidding? After the world fusion, Hakkō Shinken is unquestionably a former Ishin Shishi.

The sworn enemy of the Shinsengumi! His credibility far exceeds that of this retired Ishin Shishi.

Can you two really be so casual? Before he could say more, a low, icy voice sounded behind him: "Sakata Gintoki! Can you explain what those monsters—those things that turned the streets and houses into ruins—and those people… have to do with you?"

"What exactly is your connection to them?"

Sakata Gintoki's body stiffened. He turned his head with great difficulty, facing the resurrected demon-like Tōse, forcing a smile.

"... I don't know them! As for the ruined streets and houses… I swear it was an accident. Do you believe me?"

Tōse narrowed her eyes. "Do you think I believe you?"

After a brief silence, Sakata Gintoki nodded with a bitter laugh. "... Fine. I'll give you an explanation."

If it were anyone else, Sakata Gintoki might have brushed it off.

After all, with his strength, he was practically invincible in this world.

But the one asking was Tōse.

If there was anyone in this world who could make the Hakkyōsa yield unconditionally—

It could only be Tōse, who took him in when he was at his weakest.

... In the blink of an eye, Su Han returned to his room.

Then he found his room packed with people: Wugeng Liuli hugging Ophis, Lei Muleimu dressed in a twin maidservant outfit, and Luo Cuilian standing with arms crossed, expression stern.

"... Why are you all here?"

Su Han rubbed his nose.

"We're just curious about your mission reward."

Wugeng Liuli stuck out her tongue, eyes sparkling with excitement. "A coordinate of the Traveler's Association! Whether or not it's really just a Tyranid nest, as Kōnan said—I still want to see it!"

.............."I'll go ahead and claim it now and take a look."

Su Han sighed helplessly, shrugged, closed his eyes, entered the Guild, then clicked "Claim Mission Reward." A coordinate instantly appeared in his mind, making him frown.

"... What's wrong?"

Lei Mu, who had been watching Su Han closely, immediately sensed his mood had shifted.

After a moment's pause, Su Han said, "The mission reward only gave me a Void coordinate."

I cannot use the Guild to directly travel to this coordinate. In other words… I must cross dimensions myself."

"... Is that so?"

Luo Cuilian pondered.

Su Han shook his head and stopped thinking about it, refocusing his attention on the Guild.

And looking at it like this, his expression turned strange.

Evangeline: "What kind of novel magic is this, able to beguile me! Planting such information directly into my mind!"

Evangeline: "But... no matter how you look at it! The ones who can perform such a technique must be the top-tier powerhouses of our world... I wonder if you might reveal your identities," as she spoke, she had her puppet brew some red tea.

Evangeline spoke in the guild, her words seemingly calm.

But in reality, her brows were deeply furrowed, a faint shadow darkening her eyes.

A guild that had suddenly appeared, one whose origins she could not trace at all.

It gave her a great sense of crisis.
