New Void? Go to my ultimate move!

At the foot of the mountain, Paipai stared blankly at the photos Bernice had sent, as well as her accompanying message.

"Someone who can turn into a bird? And breathes fire... What is all this? The scenery on the mountain here isn't bad, though. Whatever, I'm going to sleep."

Meanwhile, in Wildfire Town, Lucy saw the photos Bernice sent.

"Does such a place really exist? Wouldn't that mean we could develop it? Then our supplies wouldn't be so scarce."

As Lucy was contemplating the possibilities, Light suddenly received a distress signal from Caesar.

Standing up and adjusting his sunglasses, he said, "Lucy, the boss fell into a void."

"Huh? Doesn't she have Radish?"

Hearing this, Light straightened his collar. "She... forgot to bring it."

"...Caesar, you idiot!!! Let's go, we need to get her out."

Calmly adjusting the gauntlets on his hands, Light followed closely behind Lucy. The two rode their motorcycles to rescue Caesar.

Inside the void, Caesar, riding her motorcycle, watched the surrounding Remnants closing in without fear. She twisted the handlebars, and the engine roared.

She charged straight at them. Although the effect was impressive, with many Remnants sent flying, it was only effective against those of medium size or smaller.

Just as she was about to break through a rift, an axe flew towards an open space in front of her. It directly flipped her motorcycle.

Caesar somersaulted in mid-air, adjusting her stance. She took out the shield on her back and her greatsword.

Her gaze was vigilant as she stared ahead at the Giant Remnant that had already drawn its colossal axe. "Damn it, this is a bit tricky~"

The Remnant roared and charged at her. Seeing the oncoming giant axe, Caesar managed to block it with her shield, and her sword carved wounds onto the Remnant's body. But the Remnant's recovery ability seemed quite strong. In a short while, the wounds healed completely.

Outside the void. Lucy frowned as she looked at her tablet. "Wait, Light, this void isn't in our records. It's a new type of void!"

"What!?"

"And judging by the void's size, Caesar definitely can't handle this alone."

"What do we do? Should we go in--?"

"No, without Radish, we'll get lost. We need to find Proxy."

Taking a deep breath, Light put on his sunglasses and got on his motorcycle. "I'll go in and help her. You contact Proxy."

"Light!"

Before Lucy could react, Light had already ridden into the void. "Tsk, you two really don't make things easy."

Stomping her foot, Lucy had no choice but to start contacting people. "Going back now is out of the question. Right, let's have Bernice and the others go."

On Taixu Mountain. It was lunchtime. Fu Hua was making a pan of fried rice. It contained meat and potatoes, looking and smelling delicious. Beside it was a bowl of vegetable soup.

Bernice and Paipai, sitting on stone stools, ate to their heart's content.

"Aiya, Bernice is such a good kid, knowing to eat and even carrying this old me up here."

"Hehe, of course. How could I forget Paipai when eating?"

After scooping a spoonful into its mouth, Paipai looked at Fu Hua, who was eating opposite.

"I didn't expect Ms. Fu Hua, your cooking is excellent. Thank you for letting me have a meal."

Fu Hua waved her hand dismissively.

"It's nothing. All guests are welcome. As long as Miss Paipai and Miss Bernice are satisfied, that's all that matters."

Suddenly, Bernice's phone rang.

"Hello, Lucy? What's up? I'm eating right now."

"Stop eating! Caesar fell into a sudden void. Hurry and contact a Proxy to come over."

"Ah, what!"

The spoon fell from Bernice's mouth.

Paipai, sitting nearby, calmly reached out and caught the spoon before it hit the ground.

It then placed the spoon on Bernice's plate.

"Oh no, this is a big problem. Bernice, let's go quickly."

"Are the two friends in trouble?"

"Mm, Sect Master Fu Hua, our boss fell into a new type of void. We won't be staying for dinner. Thank you for the meal."

Paipai scratched the back of its head and spoke.

"Is that so? Judging by your tone, the situation seems a bit urgent."

"Yes, yes, let's hurry down the mountain, Paipai."

After hanging up, Bernice, despite saying that, was still frantically stuffing food into her mouth.

"There's no need for you two to rush. I can handle sudden voids."

"Really? Sect Master Fu Hua."

"Mm, Cuiji, you stay and guard the door. I'll be back soon."

"Yes, Master."

With that, Fu Hua put down her bowl and chopsticks.

She calmly stood up and walked to the side.

Flames erupted from her body, and her attendant transformed into a giant firebird.

"You two, get on. I'll take you there."

"Hahaha!!! That's great! I've always wanted to see Fu Hua in this form."

"So amazing..."

After their exclamations, Paipai and Bernice climbed onto the bird's back.

"Hold on tight, both of you."

As she spoke, the firebird flapped its wings and soared into the clouds.

"Waa-- Ooh! This is so exciting, Paipai—"

"Aiya, after running on the ground for so many years, I'm fortunate to be able to fly in the sky one more time."

Fu Hua was very fast. In no time, she arrived above the sudden void, guided by the location Lucy had sent.

"Tsk, Bernice, what's going on? She didn't say anything after sending me the location."

On the ground, Lucy stomped her little feet anxiously.

"Lucy—!"

"Mm, is that Bernice? Where?"

"Lucy, look at the sky!!"

A streak of red light caught her eye. Hearing Bernice's scream, Lucy looked up, her pupils instantly shrinking.

A giant firebird was diving down.

Bernice on its back was screaming with excitement.

"What, what is that!?"

After snapping back to reality, Lucy quickly got on her vehicle with three little pigs and moved a short distance away.

After landing, Bernice and Paipai jumped off the firebird.

Fu Hua also transformed into human form after the red light.

"Lucy, do you know how awesome that was!? Flying through the sky feels so good!!"

"Hold on, Bernice, this is..."

"Let me introduce you, this is Fu Hua, the Sect Master of the Taixu Sect. She said she can help with Caesar."

Paipai reached out and introduced them.

"Really? This Sect Master Fu Hua looks so..."

So ethereal--

"Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

With that, Fu Hua walked straight in.

Within a certain space.

Caesar was already having a hard time dealing with one Heavy High-level Remnant.

Now there were three more.

She could only retreat while fighting.

Fortunately, at this moment, Light, riding a motorcycle, luckily broke in.

He pulled Caesar and prepared to retreat.

"It seems we're surrounded."

Shaking the gauntlets in his hand, Light said calmly.

"What's there to fear? We'll fight them to the death if we have to."

"That won't do. You're our leader. We can't let you fall here."

The two stood back-to-back, their gazes fixed on the five or six Super Large Remnants and over a hundred small Remnants surrounding them.

The difficult battle continued for an unknown amount of time.

Both of them had sustained some injuries, more or less.

At this moment, a phoenix cry echoed through the sky, interrupting the battle.

Countless Remnants began to burn.

Fu Hua appeared beside the two at some point, surrounded by burning crimson feathers.

"You two have been fighting for a long time. Please rest for now, and leave this to me."

"Huh!? You're--"

"I am a friend who has come to help."

After speaking, the entire void plunged into darkness.

Only the area around Fu Hua was as bright as day.

She cast a thin shield over Caesar and Light, then transformed into a giant firebird and flew into the sky.
