Chi You

"Crack—"

"Crunch..."

The slow sound of bones being chewed echoed along the shore, but it faded away before traveling very far.

Xu Yanwu's body was now dozens of meters tall. Sitting beside the barbecue grill, even his breaths could stir up gusts of wind carrying a faint seafood scent...

"Ugh..."

Xu Yanwu had already lost count of how many Honkai Beasts that had emerged from the sea he had eaten. Actually, he had never counted them at all.

Though the grilled Honkai Beast meat was tender and delicate, after eating it for so many days in a row... Xu Yanwu was starting to feel sick.

But he had no choice but to eat. He still had to rely on this food to provide Energy Points.

Although Xu Yanwu had recently noticed that the concentration of Honkai Energy by the sea had grown much denser, maintaining this body dozens of meters tall at all times still consumed a great deal of energy.

Xu Yanwu truly felt that it was time to find another way to replace his energy expenditure. The energy he got from breathing in the wind and eating grilled meat every day was a little insufficient...

But the most important thing right now was dealing with that thing in the sea... Chi You.

Xu Yanwu stood up, brushed the sea sand from his backside—which was like dust compared to his current body—and stared gravely at the ocean.

Layers of waves were rising across the sea. Vast quantities of seawater seemed to be pushed up by something before falling back down.

Xu Yanwu could clearly sense that something huge was approaching.

And... the sense of danger it gave him was overwhelming.

It was second only to the Herrscher of the End Xu Yanwu had once faced.

Under Xu Yanwu's gaze, the distant surface of the sea rose up. Huge amounts of seawater cascaded down from the bulge, revealing pale keratinous armor beneath it, along with purple Honkai Energy patterns.

After looking up at it for a while...

Σ(っ°Д°;)っ??!!

That big?!

I knew Honkai Beasts were huge, but what the hell is with a body bigger than a small island?!

This thing has to be several thousand meters long!

Three years ago, Feng Bo Yu Shi, who destroyed the Xuanyuan Tribe, had only been dozens of meters large...

Looking at that size, a whale probably would not even be enough to fill the gap between your teeth...

You are both Honkai Beasts from the same world, so why are you, Chi You, so damn exceptional?

"With such a huge body... how exactly did Ji Lin and the others seal Chi You away...?"

What Xu Yanwu did not know was that, without his existence, Ji Lin would have greatly awakened the latent power of the Divine Key, the Xuanyuan Sword, during her battle against Chi You in the Honkai world.

After all, it was power awakened by staking every life they had. It was not strange for it to reach that level.

Furthermore, Ji Lin and the others had not killed Chi You. They had merely sealed him within Jiuyou. If Kiana and the others had not, by chance, entered the weakened Chi You after his five-thousand-year seal in the future and happened to destroy his heart, how could Hyperion have so easily blasted to death the largest Honkai Beast in history?

"No matter what, I have strength on the level of a complete Herrscher now. Add in the fact that I can't die or be destroyed—am I really going to lose to a wild beast like you?"

Xu Yanwu roared as he pulled the long spear from his back and pointed it straight at Chi You's head emerging from the sea. "Today, I'm going to be a guardian of the Land of Shenzhou!"

But after waiting for quite a while, Xu Yanwu did not see Chi You attack. Instead, he saw Chi You staring at him with a pair of purple eyes larger than ordinary houses.

What confused Xu Yanwu even more was a voice that seemed to come from nowhere.

"You... Otherworld Deity... god... defeat you..."

"???? Where did that female voice come from??!"

Xu Yanwu searched for quite some time,

before realizing with a bit of horror that the voice had actually come from Chi You in front of him?

"Oh my god! This is insane!"

Xu Yanwu was so frightened that the spear fell from his hand and plunged into the beach. "Holy shit, Chi You can talk!"

Xu Yanwu was on the verge of collapse. He had never heard of Honkai Beasts being able to speak!

If a zombie started talking, he could barely force himself to accept it.

But Chi You, you are a freaking Honkai Beast!

Where did you get the intelligence to speak?!

And it was actually a female voice? Were you a female Honkai Beast all along?!

"Wait..."

Xu Yanwu suddenly realized that Chi You's words just now seemed to have mentioned... a god?

Xu Yanwu fell silent. His mind was not slow, and after thinking it over, he was able to understand the crux of the matter.

It had to be that Will of Honkai he had met twice, stirring up trouble again.

"Will of Honkai, fuck your ancestors!"

Every muscle on Xu Yanwu's body tensed. At last, he was truly nervous.

Chi You had originally possessed the strength of a complete Herrscher. After being enhanced by the Will of Honkai, just how powerful was he now?

Even if he had not reached the level of the Herrscher of the End... he should have no problem completely destroying the Land of Shenzhou, right?

If Xu Yanwu retreated now, how long would Chi You need to destroy the Land of Shenzhou?

"...Bastard."

Xu Yanwu spat fiercely, then pulled his spear from the ground. "What the hell am I thinking? Is now the time to run?!"

This was the Land of Shenzhou, China of the Honkai world.

Was this a place where Chi You could run wild as he pleased?

And besides...

Cang Xuan, Danzhu, Chi Yuan, Lianshan, Ji Lin, and the others were here...

In the original world, they had paid the lives of three people merely to barely seal Chi You within Jiuyou. In the end, Lianshan had died alone of old age, while Chi Yuan had guarded the Land of Shenzhou by herself for five thousand years.

With Chi You at this level of strength, other than Xu Yanwu, who else could stop him?

With that thought, Xu Yanwu made up his mind. He fixed his gaze on Chi You, and his body swelled once more.

Now was not the time to be stingy with energy. Xu Yanwu had to stop this monster enhanced by the Will of Honkai.

"You... insult... god..."

Chi You clearly had not yet mastered his language ability. He spoke haltingly. "Those who insult gods... must die!"

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!"

Xu Yanwu's body had already expanded to a scale measured in hundreds of meters. His feet sank deeply into the beach sand, which could no longer bear his weight.

"Insult a god? I'll fuck her later too!"

Though he cursed like that, Xu Yanwu still felt a faint sense of relief.

After all, he was the only one facing Chi You now. No one else would be hurt because of Chi You. Coming alone really was too—

"Oh my! How did Brother Yinglong get so big?"

A tiny voice came from the ground behind Xu Yanwu.

...What?!?!
