Magic is convenient.
Even when Thor and her enormous dragon flew over the Xia Kingdom, no one was curious or chased away.
I stayed in Xia Kingdom for several days.
Eriri's father came looking for her. After all, Eriri was right here, and with her address, he could easily find her even if she was being concealed by magic.
Then he told Kanna that Great Britain sincerely wanted them to settle in the England Empire.
Kanna refused.
She didn't want to participate in the development of this world. After all, it was just about creating a world. She was too lazy to move or think. In order to avoid being used by others, she rejected Eriri's father's suggestion.
Moreover, the situation on the island nation seems to have improved; all the zombies have been killed, and various countries have begun to study this strange creature.
Among those who came to Xia Kingdom, some of the islanders wanted to go back.
The zombie outbreak may seem serious, but in reality, it's mostly people scaring themselves and spreading panic, making everyone think that the island nation is about to face its end.
After the incident, only about 100,000 zombies appeared throughout the entire island nation. Moreover, the zombie virus was not transmitted through biting, because those who were bitten to death did not turn into zombies. As for more details, Eriri's father did not know either.
Moreover, zombies have appeared in other countries around the world besides the island nation, but in the past few days, the number is far less than that in the island nation.
Therefore, the blockade imposed on island nations by countries around the world was lifted.
Kanna wanted to investigate why this happened, but she didn't know where to start.
If Remilia were here, she might know where these zombies came from.
Unfortunately, neither she, nor Sagiri, nor Black Cat possessed the skills to uncover the truth. Without the assistance of such abilities, finding the cause of these viruses was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Besides, people all over the world are investigating the origin of these viruses, and they're even more anxious than she is, so why should she be in such a hurry?
If the people of this world investigate the cause and still can't solve it, then it's fine for me to take action.
The administrative functions of island nations are recovering.
After rejecting Eriri's father's suggestion, she and Thor took these people back.
After all, these people's relatives, assets, and jobs are still in the island nation. If the island nation were to be destroyed, or if the island nation were the only place in the world with zombies, they would most likely not be able to go back. But now that there are zombies all over the world, does it really matter where they are?
In addition, Kobayashi was mainly worried about her job, so she was eager to go home.
If Kobayashi is going back, Thor will definitely go back too.
Unfortunately, after only a few days of enjoying authentic Chinese cuisine, I have to return to Japan.
Kanna sighed inwardly, then led everyone back to the island nation.
After the zombies were gone, everyone went home, and Kanna didn't bother to take them back.
Yamada Elf's parents then came to her house and gave Yamada Elf a severe scolding.
"Do you know how worried I was when you weren't here when I sent people here?!" Yamada Elf's mother glared angrily.
That makes sense. As a mother, losing track of your child during a crisis would make you anxious no matter what.
Yamada Elf looked at Kanna pitifully, hoping Kanna would help her.
If she could just transform into a dragon and show it to her mother, her mother would believe her. Yamada clearly sensed that her mother didn't believe her at all about dragons and magic.
Kanna turned her face to the other side.
It's quite amusing to watch this usually arrogant guy get scolded.
At this moment, a spatial force fluctuated.
Kanna narrowed her eyes, sensing the familiar presence, and then said, "You two chat, I'm going out for a bit."
Once Kanna had left the house and no one was around, Yamada Elf's mother frowned and asked, "Where have you been these past few days?"
She sent people to search the entire area and investigated all the surveillance footage, but they couldn't find her anywhere; it was as if she had vanished into thin air.
Yamada Elf smiled wryly, "I've said it many times, I did go to Xia Country."
The mother's brows furrowed again. If she had something else in her hand, she would have slapped her daughter hard. She had worried for so many days, and you still used this kind of lie?
She knew all about white dragons and magic, but she only knew them from her daughter's novel. What she said was exactly the same as what she wrote in her novel, and she was trying to fool her with this stuff!
Kanna ran quickly to the rooftop.
Sure enough, Kurumi was there.
"Well, at least you've come."
Kurumi was slightly surprised and asked, "What's wrong?"
She has been traveling alone to various worlds recently, mainly to see which worlds have been contaminated by Honkai Energy.
"Zombies have appeared in this world. These things have never appeared before. I was just about to ask you if you knew about them. If you don't, we'll have to ask Remilia to come and investigate."
"Have zombies appeared here too...?"
"You're saying this has happened in other worlds as well?"
Kurumi nodded and said, "Several worlds have appeared, haven't they?"
"Hiss, this problem is happening all over the world, could it be that something's wrong with Su Xi?"
Kanna was startled by her own thoughts.
Su Xi is the creator of this universe, and only when she has a problem will the worlds in this universe all have problems.
"No, it's Honkai Energy contamination."
"Honkai Energy?" Kanna recalled the appearance of those zombies, which did seem to resemble the assassins of the Honkai World, except that their clothes were not as uniform as those of the assassins, so she couldn't recall them for a moment.
"Wow, how Honkai Energy be transmitted from such a distance?"
Kanna was speechless.
She herself had flown beyond this planet, and there were no other worlds within at least five light-years, only barren planets.
Kurumi shook her head. "This is not a matter of propagation. The rules of the Honkai have been integrated into this universe, so theoretically speaking, it is possible for zombies to appear in all worlds."
"Oh, isn't that very dangerous? Honkai Energy is designed to destroy civilizations!"
"Don't worry about that. The Honkai Will is imprisoned by Theresa. Without its control, Honkai Energy won't develop to the point of destroying civilization. It will only intermittently pollute the unlucky ones with weak constitutions, turning them into zombies."
Hearing this, Kanna finally relaxed a little.
If that's the case, then this world won't have monsters like Herrschers like in the Honkai World.
"By the way, where are the zombies here?"
Kurumi has just arrived here and is unaware of the affairs of this world.
"They were wiped out long ago. There were only about a million of them in the whole world. They appeared in every country for a while, and since they don't spread through Bite, they were all wiped out in just a few days."
Kurumi nodded.
This situation perfectly matches what Theresa said.
It's just a pity for those unlucky guys.
However, with crisis comes good. If Honkai Energy appears, it means that magical energy from other worlds will also begin to come to this world. At that time, magic will probably become very popular, and there might even be office workers passing by on their way to work who casually throw a fireball to take out the zombies.
"By the way, where are Sagiri and Black Cat?"
"Don't even mention it, neither of them has regained their memories yet, I don't know what happened."
Kanna couldn't help but complain.
Sagiri, a painter, Black Cat, a novelist, both had a great fondness for fantastical creatures. During their stay in Xia Country, they pestered her every day, asking her to cast a spell and to fly around and explore this beautiful world.
Kanna was speechless at the sheer number of these two.
If they regain their memories, they can fly however they like; they won't need any help.
"However, their abilities are awakening, and they can already use some simple abilities."
"Then they'll probably regain their memories soon."
Generally, abilities begin to awaken, and then memories follow.
So which worlds did you visit this time?
"After going through the worlds of zombies and Ship Girl, the third world is here with you," Kurumi said.
"What about a world where assassins appear?"
"The Eastern world, the Zombie Step World, the Ship Girl world, and my dating world, plus yours. These are all modern societies, so information about zombies spreads relatively quickly. As for the worlds of Mavis and Ilena, I wouldn't know. Information in those worlds is more backward, so even if zombies appear, it would be difficult for me to know."
"It seems the impact is quite widespread."
So many worlds have appeared.
Kurumi said, "I'm going to check on Sagiri and Black Cat. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll leave. Do you want to come with me to the next world?"
Kanna waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I'm lazy, I don't want to go."
"In the next world, I plan to go to Qiqi's place. Don't you want to go?" Kurumi smiled.
"The world of Genshin Impact... what's so great about going there? It's better to stay home and play games."
"Alright."
"These clones of Su Xi are all top-tier otaku, "Kurumi thought helplessly.
After saying goodbye to Kanna, Kurumi glanced at Black Cat and Sagiri, both of whom were passionately creating.
Kurumi didn't understand what novel the Black Cat was writing, but she understood what Sagiri was drawing.
She was drawing Kanna's O-shaped...
The main character is Sagiri, and the male lead looks exactly like a gender-swapped version of herself.
If Kanna sees this, Sagiri will definitely get a beating.
Kurumi shook her head helplessly.
The portal has now opened, and we've stepped into the spatial passage.
The world of Zombie Walker is alright, after all, that world has monsters, so one more type of zombie doesn't matter much, since these zombies are quite weak anyway. Besides, Xiao You's memories have been awakened, and she only needs to say one sentence to eliminate all the zombies, so there's no need to worry about that world.
In the world of Ship Girl, there's even less to worry about; those cannons aren't something zombies can easily mess with.
Currently, the most severely affected world is the Eastern World, the world that was first affected by Honkai Energy. Because the monsters can also absorb Honkai Energy, there are signs of monster resurgence in the Eastern World.
The monsters in that world are never good monsters. Even in Gensokyo, there are very few good monsters. So what brings disaster to that world is not zombies, but the local species, the monsters.
It remains to be seen whether Gensokyo will step in to resolve the issue, or whether the humans will learn magic and take the initiative to deal with the youkai.
Next, let's see if there are zombies in the Genshin Impact world. If there are, it means that most of the world has been affected by Honkai Energy. After the Valkyrie exam, we'll have to get Theresa to find a way to suppress the spread of Honkai Energy.
As she pondered this, Kurumi stepped out of the portal.
The teleportation node in the Genshin Impact world was set up on Mt. Tianheng, not far from the Qiqi Bubu Pharmacy where Qiqi was.
After glancing at the still bustling Liyue Harbor below, Kurumi leisurely strolled down the path.
Zhongli, who was listening to storytelling in the teahouse, suddenly opened his eyes as a powerful force descended upon him...
Who could it be?
Zhongli put away his fan and said before leaving his seat, "The account is recorded in the Wang Sheng Funeral Parlor."
Moment.
Kurumi entered Liyue Harbor through a small path behind the mountain.
She didn't have any entry permit, so she got in by stopping at a time stop.
Then they found Qiqi dozing off in Bubu Pharmacy.
"Oh dear, did I come at the wrong time? Did I disturb your sleep, Little Qiqi?"
The alluring voice startled Qiqi Tail Dragon Bone, who abruptly opened his eyes.
Sure enough, I saw someone I knew: Tokisaki Kurumi.
Then she rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, how could such a busy person like you deign to come over?"
I don't even know when I last saw Kurumi.
Kurumi chuckled, "There are just too many worlds to handle, there's nothing I can do about it."
"I came here to find out if there have been any zombies here?"
Qiqi, bored, tapped the medicine pillar. "What zombie?"
"Those kinds of things shown in movies."
Qiqi shook her head. "How would I know? I'm usually too lazy to leave this place. The furthest I go is Mt. Tianheng. Although many people come to see me for treatment, I've never heard of any zombies appearing there."
"Then why don't you give that Blondie a mission and reward him with a few glass pouches?"
"No." Qiqi shook her head.
"Huh? Why?" Kurumi in surprise.
The last time she came here, she even teased that traveler a bit. She'd do anything for a reward, though she wouldn't do anything too outrageous, or the reward wouldn't be enough.
In fact, Kurumi had wanted to test the limits of the Blondie girl last time, to see how much money she would have to pay to sleep with her, but unfortunately Kurumi didn't have enough Mora to test her.
"She hasn't even left Mondstadt yet."
"Huh? When I came last time, didn't she already finish the Ascension Ritual? Why is she back in Mondstadt now?"
"Yeah, then she went to Inazuma and got killed by the Thunder General, and the world was reset."
Kurumi: "... Wait, is this in the Genshin Impact storyline?"
"How would I know? Anyway, she got into trouble in Inazuma. I think no one but General Raiden could have hurt her, so she was most likely killed by General Raiden, and then the world was reset. She has no memory of anything now. I took a look, and she has become a newbie traveler."
"Holy crap, does this mean the Blondie has to clear the game with his life?"
Qiqi shrugged, indicating that she didn't know.
