Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Yashi Eirin narrowed her eyes. Although the pressure she felt was not as good as facing Roland's Yakumo Murasaki who walked out of the gap, there was no sign of relaxation.

She glanced at the shadow beside her warily, and took a small step to the side before it spread over.

After this man appeared, the darkness seemed to be advancing faster.

"..."

Roland looked at the shadow behind her speechlessly, and then turned his eyes to the woman in front of him.

She has a cute and delicate face like a doll, pupils like amethyst, long golden hair, and an indescribable noble temperament.

It's not hard to tell who's dominating the scene, although the woman behind her with the silver braid also looks reliable.

Is this an important figure among the monsters?

Although he was shocked when he just saw himself coming out of this coordinate, his reaction to calm down all the complicated expressions in just a moment is very admirable.

She looks like a young girl, but she has a lazy sense of maturity, giving her a wonderful temperament between a childlike girl and a graceful lady.

Maybe it's because I saw Scathach in the moonlight, and her elegant and tolerant mind and temperament are so dazzling.

How should I put it, Roland always felt that the blond woman in front of him seemed to be pretending.

But he did not deny that this was just his unilateral arbitrary decision.

In the mysterious world, there is basically a consensus.

The older, the more powerful.

This is particularly evident in the moon phase.

Although this consensus is far from being an ironclad rule because there are often exceptions, the level of reference is still quite high.

This is not because ancient times and technology must be more powerful than today, but it comes from a basic logic.

Those who can survive on this dangerous road for hundreds or thousands of years are usually very capable.

This is especially true for a race like monsters with a long growth cycle. In most cases, age can be used as a means of judging strength.

Judging from the size of the woman in front of me, she might already be an old...

Just as Roland was rudely speculating on the beautiful woman in front of him, Yakumo Purple frowned slightly as if she had sensed her inner slander.

The Hakurei Great Barrier's control over Gensokyo has gradually faded, but it is only limited to the areas where changes occurred.

Even if the power in the gap seems to be able to be controlled by the opponent, it is not an invincible ability that cannot be detected at all.

Otherwise, she who can freely reach anywhere will not only be a regulator who balances different forces.

The fact that Shi Shiran can appear here and avoid her and Bayi Yonglin's perception already explains a lot.

More importantly...human beings?

Yakumo Murasaki was unable to detect the depth of the opponent's power, and her ability to move with ease, as if she had grasped the overall situation, also showed that the opponent was not a mortal.

But she still has confidence in her own eyesight.

The man in front of him is not a so-called heavenly being or immortal, nor is he a monster or evil spirit.

In terms of performance and attitude, only human characteristics are more consistent.

It's incredible.

Although Gensokyo was established to avoid the oppression of human nature and continue the fate of anomalies, most anomalies still have a contemptuous attitude towards humans.

This is not surprising.

Monsters that don't attack people can't be considered monsters. Those like Murasaki who can be treated with a normal attitude are the outliers among monsters.

In the human villages of Gensokyo, most humans are afraid of monsters or stay away from them.

Although anyone who dares to have different intentions will quickly perish, at least now, at the level of individual power, many abnormalities are beyond the ability of ordinary humans to handle.

But judging from the performance of the humans in front of her, she already needs to be compared with her as a monster sage, right?

Did this guy realize this possibility in advance and emerge as a hero among humans? Or is he a monster sleeping in the past and disappearing from the records of history?

Yakumo Zi blinked her eyes and put away all the uneasiness and questions in her heart.

"I am Yakumo Purple. I wonder what I would do if I were lucky enough to know that you are visiting Gensokyo?"

"There's no need for such a formal honorific. It's a bit weird to be called that by someone much older than me," Roland's tone softened slightly as the beauty with a delicate smile looked at her with gentle and gentle eyes.

But that's all.

"As for the reason why I came here, it was not because I suddenly realized that someone was trying to do something stupid and I was forced to stop it in advance."

——Much older.

If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, she would definitely make Roland understand the reason why the Monster Sage is the most undesirable person in Gensokyo.

But now, she desperately needs help, not enemies.

Yakumo Purple's white teeth bit her vermilion lips tightly, leaving faint tooth marks before she sealed these words in her heart, barely maintaining her smiling expression.

"Then I'm really... sorry!"

"It doesn't matter. From your perspective, it still requires a lot of persistence and courage to take such action." Roland said unceremoniously.

"Although your behavior was stupid, for the sake of the value of your faith, I forgive you."

"?!"

This time, Yakumo Purple really couldn't stand it anymore.

Although she has dealt with various forces in her career over the years, she has learned the art of compromise.

Faced with the rude words of enemies who suddenly invaded Gensokyo, she could respond with respect, but was Roland too quick to turn against the enemy?

Although it is not that I have never encountered people who are difficult to get along with, it is basically due to differences in levels that lead to inappropriate expressions.

But Roland was different.

Yakumo Murasaki deeply realized that he really believed that he had made a mistake that needed to be taught a lesson, and he only wanted to forgive because of his so-called appreciation and friendly attitude of admitting his mistakes.

That natural attitude makes it seem like he is the master of this place.

"Stupid?"

Bayi Yonglin suddenly spoke, she raised her cherry lips and outlined a sharp arc on her beautiful face.

"In that case, can you please advise me on a smarter approach?"

Although the executor of this plan to reverse the boundary between fantasy and reality is Yakumo Murasaki, the idea was proposed by herself.

If Roland was just a small character who didn't know what the world was like, Yonglin could just laugh it off.

But he is a strong man who can invade freely even in the gap. Regardless of his pride as the brain of the moon or his curiosity, he cannot let Yayi Yonglin continue to sit idly by.

"keep status quo."

Roland had no intention of being submissive and went straight to the point.

"Gensokyo is already a perfect place. It is based on the material of this world, but uses barriers to isolate the non-existent world."

"There are only two possibilities for the enemy to come this time, either to destroy the world directly from the outside, or to squeeze in and destroy everything from the inside."

"Throwing aside the first situation that doesn't need to be considered, this can only be achieved by allowing the enemy to withstand the pressure of the world and at the same time because the barrier touches the complete rules and keeps it trapped in the time it takes to descend to heaven."

Descend from heaven and become human.

In a world where gods really exist, this is not an unfamiliar word to Yong Lin.

For the strong who have neither transcendence nor the ability to destroy the world, this is a process of compromise.

Although the enemies we face this time are above this level, they will be restrained until they fully understand the rules of the different worlds. Even if they cannot participate in the battle, the right way is to delay the duration of this state as much as possible.

"Won't Gensokyo be directly destroyed in the process?"

Yakumo Purple subconsciously interrupted Roland, although she began to regret it after speaking.

Because she had noticed that Roland's extremely aggressive eyes were looking at him after such a speech.

If her will hadn't been strong enough, just by looking at her, she would have felt as if her heart was clenched and she couldn't breathe.

There is no doubt that Roland is on the same side as Gensokyo in terms of his hostility to the unknown outside that world.

Since they are potential allies, they should maintain this ambiguous state as much as possible and create possibilities that are not confrontation.

"Why?"

However, Roland just glanced at Yakumo Murasaki in surprise and spoke in the same tone as before.

He seemed not to realize the reason why Yakumo Shiraz raised this question.

"We have to ensure that it descends into heaven and becomes a human being. It must be based on the fact that the barrier will not be damaged. If it can be broken with just one poke, why bother?"

Yakumo Zi opened her mouth and was speechless for a moment.

If it were that simple to make Gensokyo's barrier resilient and strong enough to withstand this kind of pressure, she wouldn't have to worry about it for so long.

But what really shocked Yakumo Purple was not this, but Roland's question.

It was because she was worried that Gensokyo wouldn't be able to sustain it that she decided to reverse the barrier and blur its nature so that the current world could share the pressure.

This guy has clearly seen the strength of the enemy with his own eyes, yet he still considers everything with victory as the outcome?

"Do you understand? Your thinking was wrong from the beginning. Since it is an enemy that is beyond comprehension and cannot be fought regardless of the number and number of companions, you should think about what you can do."

Ignoring the stunned Yakumo Murasaki, Roland looked forward and walked towards the darkness.

"Okay, there's not much time left, I have to start quickly, everyone else please leave quickly and don't hinder me."

When Roland spoke like this, not to mention Yakumo Murasaki, who was a sage of Gensokyo, even Yashi Eirin, who didn't have that deep affection for Gensokyo, frowned.

But immediately, the Moon Sage just sighed quietly and looked at Yakumo Murasaki.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference between her and Roland's plans, but they just have different emphases.

But ultimately, she had no interest in making that choice.

The decision-making power of all this still depends on Yakumo Murasaki herself.

Roland's actions brought Yakumo Purple back to her senses.

However, she had no intention of changing her mind just because of Roland's explanation.

Although the enemies were the same, the two had completely different goals and operating principles. It was only Roland's strong power that allowed them to maintain the trust of peaceful dialogue.

But this is also the biggest trigger.

Let her, who has regarded protecting this place as the meaning of survival, watch helplessly as Roland, who goes his own way, drags Gensokyo into an irreversible abyss?

——In the depths of Yakumo's purple eyes, colors like molten steel slowly gathered, making her pupils brighter and brighter.

Although the gap was easily controlled by Roland, it was only a way of output at best, not the essence of her ability.

She is a monster in the realm and can freely control all realms in the world.

And this ability is no longer a simple concept or rule, but authority.

The existence of things is based on the existence of realm.

Without water, a lake does not exist.

Without the sky, the earth does not exist.

It is precisely because of the name ‘realm’ that we can confirm our existence and distinguish ourselves from others.

If the realm of all things did not exist, then the world would be a huge whole, a chaos where nothing exists.

In other words, the ability to manipulate realms is the ability of logical creation and destruction, a terrifying ability that can subvert everything from its roots.

Essentially create new existence, essentially negate existing existence,

One of the most dangerous abilities possessed by monsters is one that rivals the power of God.

Therefore, although Yakumo Murasaki has continued to grow over the long years, her power is still unable to use this authority perfectly.

Otherwise, there would be no need for her to obey human principles or compromise with other forces.

But even so, the upper limit of this ability and the lower limit of Yakumo Murasaki as a great monster still mean that she does not need to fear any enemies.

She took a deep breath and whispered.

"——The realm of movement and stillness"

In this state, Yakumo Purple can stop moving objects instantly, and can also accelerate stationary objects to an excessive degree.

At full output, she can stop an individual's time.

However, in the face of the power that even a god had to stop, Roland's cold voice did not pause for a moment.

"I told you not to hinder me."

Roland turned his head quietly in front of the power that should be stopped.

His tone was very calm, and there was no so-called anger at all because of Yakumo Purple's strange behavior, like an adult condescendingly criticizing an ignorant child.

When he said this, Roland, who was clearly moving forward, suddenly appeared next to Yakumo Purple and stretched out his hand to Yakumo Purple in a rough movement.

The power of his realm worked perfectly on Roland.

Logically speaking, before Roland's hand approached, even if it was not stopped directly, it should be as if it was stuck in the mud, unable to move an inch.

But he still firmly grasped Yakumo Purple's slender and white wrist.

"That's it, Yakumo Murasaki, I don't have time to mess around with you now."
