Chapter 2702: Lan Ran... What a terrifying man

"Truly unexpected... or rather, far beyond my imagination."

He Lan Ti Er spoke with an odd tone.

His spirit was shaken to its utmost extreme.

Long before he was exiled by the universe, He Lan Ti Er's strength had already reached an inconceivable level, even capable of foretelling the future... At that time, he had already foreseen the emergence of Homura Akemi, Madoka Kaname, and knew this world was... the Puella Magi Madoka Magica world.

But He Lan Ti Er had never seen Shaka, Usagi Tsukino, Su Han, or any of these beings... nor did he know that countless Space Police would one day appear in the future. During the time he had been away from this world...

What exactly had happened! "Enough!"

He Lan Ti Er exhaled two breaths, regaining his composure.

His gaze turned icy, his voice deadly, "Once I capture all of you, I'll use a memory extraction device to extract every last memory... and then I'll know exactly what happened."

"... Is that so? Unfortunately, I think you won't be able to."

A sigh suddenly echoed behind He Lan Ti Er.

"What?"

He Lan Ti Er's face changed drastically.

He instinctively tried to dodge—but it was already too late.

Su Han delivered a casual punch, and his body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

"... His vitality is... surprisingly resilient."

Su Han watched as the blood mist far away slowly reformed, and shrugged.

Then he clenched his fist, and ripples stirred the void.

In that instant, the power of illusion activated, and the figures of Qi Mu Nanxiong and Lan Ran slowly appeared in midair.

"The strongest psychic... and the Shinigami world's master?"

He Lan Ti Er, now reformed, stared at this scene with a deathly pale face, his expression filled with bitterness, "How could something like this happen?"

"Kyōka Suigetsu!"

Lan Ran released his zanpakutō, Kyōka Suigetsu.

Then Qi Mu Nanxiong stepped forward, appearing directly before He Lan Ti Er, his telekinesis wrapping his fist as it slammed forward.

He Lan Ti Er stepped back expressionlessly.

He appeared to have dodged the punch—but the next instant, his abdomen contracted violently, and blood spewed from his mouth.

"... What? I was hit!"

He Lan Ti Er felt his opponent's fists sweeping over him like a storm.

Yet his vision, hearing, and all five senses told him everything remained unchanged.

This contradiction plunged him into utter confusion.

"Wait."

He Lan Ti Er suddenly realized something, barely holding on like a tiny boat in a storm.

"I've been hypnotized by Kyōka Suigetsu... everything I see is what Lan Ran wants me to see... so! I only appeared to dodge Qi Mu Nanxiong's attack... but in truth, perhaps the opposite is true..."

"I've walked right into his strike!"
