Dimensional Judgment Descends

Belleronus's body transformed into orange-red flames and flew into Ling Yuan's body.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the contracted weapon: Blazing Key!]

The next moment, Twin guns like firebirds appeared in his hands.

"Blazing Key?" Ling Yuan showed a look of astonishment as he looked at the twin guns in his hand.

If he remembered correctly, this was Kiana's weapon when she transformed into the Herrscher of Flames in Honkai Impact 3, right?

Its main function was to be thrown like a boomerang...

Of course, Ling Yuan had no such foolish idea.

Wanting to test its power, Ling Yuan subconsciously raised the Blazing Key in his hand and lightly pressed it towards a small mountain in the distance.

The next moment, "Yin!"

Accompanied by a high-pitched bird cry, flames shot out from the guns, transforming into a firebird with wings spread like a phoenix reborn from the ashes!

It crossed thousands of meters in an instant.

Finally, it crashed into a small mountain, and immediately...

Boom!

Flames exploded, and hot wind surged, forcing Ling Yuan to cover his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was stunned by the scene before him.

Everything within a ten-meter radius had turned into scorched earth, with residual flames still burning on it.

"It's this powerful with just a normal attack?"

Ling Yuan's jaw dropped. He had never owned such a powerful weapon in his previous life.

Well, let alone owning one, he hadn't even touched one!

[Ding! Friendly reminder: Host, you can control the magnitude of the destructive power arbitrarily through energy output. When the energy reaches a certain level, the Blazing Key can be super-evolved.]

Listening to the System's words and looking at the Blazing Key in his hand, Ling Yuan fell silent. After a long while, he spoke, "System, aren't you being too good to me?"

[Ding! This System's principle is to help the host become stronger. Hindering you is absolutely out of the question.]

Ling Yuan: "..."

Honestly, he was a little touched.

Meanwhile, Hazard Monitoring Bureau of Yan Country.

Red lights illuminated the entire monitoring bureau.

A middle-aged man, sitting on a leather chair and reading a newspaper, frowned and gently placed the newspaper on the table.

The next moment, Crash!

The door was quickly pushed open, and a man rushed in, "Director, something's happened! A powerful energy has appeared in the Tian Ce Mountain Range! Its energy is comparable to a Demon Lord!"

The middle-aged man frowned and asked, "Did a Demon that was lurking inside break through to Demon Lord level, or..."

"It's still unclear for now. The energy appeared for about five seconds and then disappeared. By the time the satellite transmitted the information, the best positioning window had been missed. The only thing known is that the energy was fire-attributed!" the man said.

The middle-aged man frowned. "Fire attribute? I understand."

He was a Transcendent with the Wind Attribute, and the combination of their properties was not very favorable.

However, he only pondered for a moment before speaking to the man in front of him, "Go and gather all the Transcendents in the Hazard Monitoring Bureau, open the Teleportation Array. Better safe than sorry, we must find the source of this energy!"

"Yes!"

The man responded and then hurriedly left.

"I hope it's not what I'm thinking..."

Looking at the satellite image on the tablet, he had a new worry.

Compared to that, a Demon Lord might be considered slightly better.

That would be the Gate of the Otherworld.

As the name suggests, it's a gate to another world.

Currently, besides the powerful individuals guarding various provinces and districts in Yan Country, everyone else is at Tian Feng Mountain.

There lies the world's very first Gate of the Otherworld.

Earth and the people from that world have been fighting for hundreds of years.

Of course, if there were only the Gate of the Otherworld, perhaps there would be no need to worry.

But now, the top powerhouses of Earth, including Yan Country, are all there.

A joint effort to fight the Primal God from another world that has awakened within the Gate of the Otherworld on Tian Feng Mountain!

If a Gate of the Otherworld were to appear within Yan Country right now, it would truly be no good news!

Not just Yan Country, but actually all countries around the world are currently in a vulnerable state!

Meanwhile

Ling Yuan, completely unaware of this, happily returned home holding Ophis's hand.

He picked up Ophis and lay down on the sofa, the smile on his lips utterly irrepressible!

Today was truly wonderful.

Not only did he form a contract with Ophis, but his own Bella had also successfully advanced from an initial assault type to a dragon form.

He had originally thought raising Bella would take a long time, but it only took a day.

The beginner's gift package was really effective.

And he, Ling Yuan, had also synchronized with Belleronus to gain the same power – Flames' Power!

It was completely equivalent to one person possessing two Plague Gems.

After the joy, there was still an important matter to attend to.

That was... to activate the Super Dimensional Group Chat!

Chapter 8: Super Dimensional Group Chat

"Ding! Do you wish to activate the Super Dimensional Group Chat?" The System's prompt sounded in Ling Yuan's mind.

"Yes." Ling Yuan replied without hesitation.

Since he remembered Bella's matter, he naturally wouldn't forget about the group chat.

"Ding! Group chat bound. The host will be granted random invitations for five people to join the group chat."

"Ding! Black Pupil has joined the group chat!"

"Ding! Lightning Dragon Slayer has joined the group chat!"

"Ding! Eighth Princess has joined the group chat!"

"Ding! Katarina Claes has joined the group chat!"

"Ding! I've Gotten Too Afraid to Die, So I've Poured All My Points Into Defense has joined the group chat!"

Ling Yuan stared blankly at the people invited into the group chat.

Except for that Eighth Princess, the others were all clear.

Eighth Princess: "Wh-where is this place! Who are all of you..."

Black Pupil: "Is this a hallucinatory Teigu?"

Black Pupil: "Military Music Dream [Scream], isn't that Nyau, one of General Esdeath's Three Beasts? What do you want by dragging me to a place like this?"

I've Gotten Too Afraid to Die, So I've Poured All My Points Into Defense: "Could this be the world chat Risa-chan mentioned? It's so magical, the image directly appeared in my mind. But why are there only six people?"

Looking at the messages in the group, Ling Yuan couldn't deny he was excited.

The anime girls he had once dreamed of were conversing with him.

However, he still needed to maintain his composure.

Ling Yuan: "Welcome everyone to the group chat."

The dazzling Group Owner title was exceptionally conspicuous.

"..."

Katarina Claes: "Group! Group chat?! Is this my cheat from another world?"

Katarina, who was endlessly agonizing over how to survive in this 'everyone is a villain' world, was stunned upon hearing the voice in her mind.

Then came overwhelming joy!

Katarina Claes: "That's great! I don't have to die anymore, sob sob."

Do you know how she had been living? Ever since she realized she was that villainous evil young lady, she had been living in constant fear.

She hadn't had a single good night's sleep.

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "@Ling Yuan, who are you? What is your purpose in pulling me into this strange mental magic."

In the Fairy Tail world, Laxus looked at Freed, who had already activated his dark state, in front of him: "Haven't you found the source of the spell yet?"

Freed, one of the Thunder God's Tribe, Laxus's guard, was sweating profusely: "Apologies, Laxus, I can't find any trace of magic at all. By all rights, you shouldn't have been affected by magic."

Hearing Freed's words, Laxus frowned.

Magic that even Freed couldn't detect? Who was this person?

"Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?" Evergreen, another member of the Thunder God's Tribe, asked curiously.

"Right now, I still have all sorts of conversations playing out in my head. Do you think I'm not sleeping well?" Laxus shot Evergreen an annoyed glance.

"Uh." Evergreen gave a sheepish grin.

Ling Yuan: "To make sure everyone understands clearly, you can all click on the group chat icon. You'll learn about the group chat then."

The group chat fell silent all at once.

After about two minutes...

Eighth Princess: "A-another world?!"

Black Pupil: "So you're saying everyone in this group isn't from the same world?"

I've Gotten Too Afraid to Die, So I've Poured All My Points Into Defense: "Eh?"

Maple, who was busy fighting slimes, looked confused.

She looked around, then nodded in sudden realization.

So that's how it is. As expected, 'other worlds' are interesting!

Ling Yuan: "I know you all must still have questions. But since you've all had the fate to enter this group chat, why not try getting along?"

Ling Yuan: "First, let's get to know each other. My name is Ling Yuan, I'm an ordinary high school student, and also the owner of this group chat."

Katarina Claes: "Hello everyone, my name is Katarina Claes. I was originally an ordinary high school student, but now I've been reincarnated into the world of the otome game [FORTUNE LOVER]."

The Monkey King had no defenses whatsoever. In her understanding, there was no world more terrifying than this 'all villains' one.

Eighth Princess: "Kougyoku Ren"

The shy little princess just replied with her name.

I've Gotten Too Afraid to Die, So I've Poured All My Points Into Defense: "My name is Maple. I'm a newcomer to the game, so please guide me, seniors!"

The innocent, non-human European emperor had no ulterior motives.
