Chapter 338
Within seconds, Kevin unleashed an absolute domain, eliminating any chains and evil spirits that approached.
'This is the Heavenly Fire Sacred Judgment!' Li Pu recognized Kevin's dual pistols at a glance; she knew about them. She had drawn them before and given them to Kiana.
But Kiana...
Li Pu always felt that Kiana's understanding of Gun Fu was a bit strange; she always seemed to treat guns like bricks to smash people.
Her father was too.
Kevin comfortably created a space that could be described as an absolute territory, while Li Pu was naturally not idle either. She took out her phone and kept snapping photos, then took out some bottles and jars to collect soil, peeling paint from the walls, and some fragments of chains from the broken house that hadn't yet disappeared.
There are even evil spirits that are like balloons.
In short, she would collect something from anything.
Once he had filled up his bottles and jars enough, Li Pu said, "Alright, let's take care of this guy all at once!"
"Understood!" Kevin immediately jumped back, Li Pu also jumped back several steps at the same time. She drew her Holy Sword, and the next second a gust of wind blew so fast that those still present could barely open their eyes.
That was the raging wind dissipating from the Barrier of the Wind King, revealing the beautiful and holy form of the Holy Sword to the group.
"What... what kind of power is this?!" Ichigo stared wide-eyed at the Goddess over there. If he hadn't truly felt the Goddess's power during the previous battle...
Now that the Goddess's power has been fully revealed to them, its sheer strength is enough to fill them with despair.
Countless golden lights rose from the ground like fireflies and began to converge on Li Pu.
This is the second time Li Pu has used this technique, which Noble Phantasm True Name Release.
Even she herself was awestruck by this immense power; this was the true power of the Holy Sword. The power of Excalibur, and this might not even be all of it.
"Excalibur!"
You might shout its name a bit dramatic, and with a forward waving motion, this powerful force surges forward like a flood bursting its banks.
The void that seemed to be based on an entire building now appeared so tiny.
He was like an ant in a flood, completely powerless to resist, and was swallowed up!
A golden beam of light shot straight into the sky, illuminating the night sky of Katsumi City. It was the light of the Holy Sword, and also the light of destruction. It looked as if a small nuclear bomb had been dropped on the place.
The impact tore the entire building to shreds, and evenly.
Ichigo and the others could only lie on the ground and wait for the impact to pass.
Ichigo now understands why the Hollows retreated that day; under such power, they were nothing more than mere weeds. As long as they truly traversed the shattered sky to reach this place...
You could be torn to shreds by the Goddess in no time.
Once the impact subsided, Ichigo and the others could finally see clearly what was in front of them; only the foundation of the building remained. Nothing above ground was visible anymore.
"La la~ la~ la~"
Suddenly he heard a song, and the next second he was surrounded by a dreamlike band of light, as if he were in the aurora borealis.
Within this band of light, time seemed to flow backward, and the building that had been torn to shreds began to recover.
It was restored to its original state, exactly as it was torn apart, until the entire building looked as if it had just been renovated and was brand new.
"This is the power of another Goddess, "Ichigo, looking at Belldandy.
Goddess...
'This really is a complete package from birth to death,' Li Pu thought to himself. 'They've arranged everything perfectly for you.'
Once everything was over, Li Pu asked, "Has the Ley Line been purified?"
"Yes," Belldandy said. "It has been purified, and the new Ley Line will function better. I believe the newly renovated hospital will be able to better fulfill its mission and bring warmth to those in need."
"Oh~" Li Pu looked at the restored hospital.
Well, she didn't want to hurt Belldandy's feelings, but as for capital... it's hard to say. Anyway, having a hospital is a good thing for the citizens.
Hopefully, whoever takes over in the future won't change this place into something else.
"Oh~ what's this?" Just then, the host jumped out again, excitedly shouting, "Viewers! Did you notice what just happened?!"
"That's like something out of a myth! Is she a real Goddess?"
He was genuinely excited; his killer instincts kicked in! If the ghost-hunting program he co-produced with Kannonji was a turning point in his life...
These two will definitely be able to turn his show into a true national phenomenon, and it's not impossible for it to even go overseas.
"You two..." Just as the host was about to say something, Li Pu sneered and said, "Turn around, go home, go to sleep. Tonight's events were just a dream."
Although he seemed unremarkable, the host appeared completely listless, as if possessed.
Soon after, only the members of the Death Squad remained at the scene.
It was as if nothing had happened.
"See that?" Lucia said warily, "The power of God can reverse reality and change people's hearts."
If before Rukia only knew about the attitudes of the gods and demons towards the Grim Reaper from textbooks and the words of some seniors, and the complicated feelings the captain and the others had when they talked about the God Race, now Lucia completely understands what's going on.
Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand the power of this force.
These are things that Death isn't entirely incapable of doing, but they still present a certain level of difficulty for Him. Especially the first one; Death can destroy, but it's very difficult for Him to repair like they do.
It's no wonder that Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th Division, is so obsessed with things from the God Race.
It's also difficult that even though Death and gods and demons don't get along, they still try their best to gain each other's recognition and respect.
Indeed, gaining the respect and recognition of such a powerful figure is a very difficult thing, and it is also a very inspiring thing.
"They seem... they seem to be looking at us." Orihime Inoue looked at the Goddess over there.
Hmm, no need to look anymore. They're not only looking, they're walking towards us.
"It seems you guys are still able to stay here, which means you all must be quite capable." Li Pu and Belldandy walked up to the Death Squad members, and although they were a bit arrogant, they didn't show much contempt or hostility as they said, "So we have something to say to you."
"What are you trying to say?" Uryu Ishida asked warily. "Are you trying to order us around?"
"Don't be so tense," Li Pu said, waving his finger. "We didn't mean to create tension; we were just saying that we can all get along peacefully."
"We know that the relationship between the God Race and you might be a bit..."
"Yeah, I'm nervous," Li Pu said, scratching his head. "But personally, we'd love to be friends with you all, and we can help each other out if anything happens."
"Yes," Belldandy said sincerely. "We have no intention of being hostile to you all. It would be great if we could become friends."
"Really?" Lucia was even more surprised.
They felt completely different from the cold-blooded and ruthless characters described in the book. Although one of them seemed a bit arrogant, he was generally very sincere.
"Why do you ask that?" Belldandy asked, seemingly puzzled. "Wouldn't it be better to make more friends?"
"Besides, this is the city where Ying Yi lives. Wouldn't it be a good thing if more people could protect this place and make it a better place?"
This is probably what they mean by "love me, love my dog".
Belldandy has no bad intentions, and neither does Li Pu.
"I... Lucia." Lucia said with delight, "Lucia, a member of the 13th Division. Nice to meet you."
Please give me your guidance.
Li Pu finally breathed a sigh of relief; the plan had worked!
She demonstrated her power and goodwill in a battle, and now it's time to intervene in the Grim Reaper's storyline. She's also obtained many samples and is now waiting to study them.
Another thing is to wait for Byakuya Kuchiki to arrive!
So when is that guy coming?
Chapter 394 Demolish That Place
"Mei-jie! Welcome back~"
As soon as they returned to Honganji Temple, Seele was already waiting at the entrance.
She said with such enthusiasm, "I saw it all on TV~, Mei-jie, you've worked so hard. Are you planning to eat first? Or take a shower? Or rest first?"
'Is there an option to eat you first?' Li Pu thought with a bitter feeling.
Of course, she would never say that aloud; she didn't want to explain to the police that 'Seele did it voluntarily.' The police wouldn't listen, and the judge certainly wouldn't.
She quickly put away that cruel idea.
"Speaking of tonight's events," Ying Yi said, sounding worried, "Are you sure everything's alright?"
"Don't worry about anything," Li Pu said. "Few people take what's on TV as true. And even if they do, you can't change much even if you try to force it."
"The vast majority of people will treat these as special effects, and at most only a small percentage of people will take them as real."
She didn't care about that small group of people; they couldn't cause any trouble.
"If all else fails, we can have 'Approaching Science' do a couple of episodes here," Li Pu said. "They'll explain everything perfectly and flawlessly in no time."
"What is 'Approaching Science'?" Kevin asked curiously.
He had never watched this type of program before.
"What is science?" Belldandy asked, looking rather silly.
Well, it's not that Belldandy doesn't understand, it's just that the concept of science might be different between her and humanity.
"Why is it 'Approaching Science'?" Ying Yi hadn't watched it, but she seemed to have heard of the program; it was very popular in the country across the sea.
"None of that matters!" Li Pu said, not wanting to dwell on the issue. "What matters is that I want some equipment."
"Equipment?" Ying Yi sensed something was off and asked, "What does Vivian want the equipment for?"
"Research," Li Pu said matter-of-factly. "We obtained a lot of samples today and want to study them. But I don't have the equipment."
"Samples?" Ying Yi suddenly remembered that Li Pu did seem to have taken a bunch of bottles and jars to collect something during the battle today.
"I always felt like Vivian had some kind of premonition."
No wonder she prepared a whole bunch of bottles and jars when she left.
"Of course I didn't foresee it," Li Pu said. "I just thought that if it were true, I might be able to collect some for research, so I prepared in advance."
The idea of studying the virtual world was suggested by Seele; Li Pu originally did not intend to get involved in this matter.
However, Seele suggested going, saying that if they could collect it, that would be great, but if not, they could just treat it as watching a monkey show since there was nothing to lose. Now it seems Seele's suggestion was quite useful.
However, after bringing over such a large collection of bottles and jars, we lack the equipment to study them.
Even if Li Pu possesses MEI's memories, it would be excellent if he could inherit MEI's research abilities. However, having samples without instruments is like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without ingredients.
She can't do this either.
So a new problem arises: where does the equipment come from? There's practically no equipment in this world for researching Honkai, so she has to gather it herself.
If you just want to save up...
"What kind of equipment does Vivian want?" Ying Yi had a feeling that something was wrong.
"It's hard to say." Li Pu thought for a moment and said, "I can try to manufacture the equipment myself, but I'll need some parts. For example, mechanical parts, electronic parts, and so on."
Li Pu laughed heartily and said, "So I hope some kind-hearted person can donate some spare parts to the poor Goddess Vivian."
There are no Raven in this world; if she were over there, she could borrow some from Raven.
But she really didn't know who to borrow some things from here.
"Oh, my dear Mr. Ying Yi," Li Pu said, "Do you know where I can find what I'm looking for?"
"Um... this..." Ying Yi stammered for a long time, unable to say anything.
"If we're talking about parts," Kevin, who had been standing nearby for a while, suddenly remembered something and said, "Nekomi Institute of Technology. I remember that Nekomi Institute of Technology's labs have a lot of things that we might... probably... could use."
"How about we go over there and borrow some?" Kevin asked.
"Cat Industry..." Li Pu tilted his head and thought, "That does seem like a viable path."
Go steal... oh no, I mean borrow. Borrow some spare parts, but I feel like if I go, I'll probably be showing them to the university professors again tomorrow during my Raven holiday.
If you can get the parts you want from somewhere else, avoiding Nekoshi Industrial can at least reduce some unnecessary trouble.
If all else fails, then go to Cat Industry.
