Chapter 607

After thinking about it, Luo Mio shook her head with amusement.

After hearing Black Rabbit's explanation, everyone headed towards the outer gate of the small garden 2105380 where Black Rabbit had come from.

At this moment, Luo Mio's eyes suddenly lit up. Behind her, Izayoi Sakamaki was tugging at her clothes and making a "want to go somewhere else for a stroll?" expression.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow and then glanced at the three girls in front of her —Black Rabbit, Asuka Kudou, and You Kasukabe —who had not yet noticed the two had stopped.

Afterwards, Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki also walked in the opposite direction.

As they walked through the lake and forest where they had landed, Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Luo Mio and said something.

"Little Brother Mio, you must have noticed it by now, right? There's something Black Rabbit is hiding from us."

"Well, it's impossible not to notice."

Indeed, Black Rabbit explained many things about the Hakoniwa World to Luo Mio, Asuka Kudou Izayoi Sakamaki, You Kasukabe, but she was very subtle or even hidden when it came to the matter of 'community'.

"However... it seems that some customers have already come to our door."

As she spoke, Luo Mio glanced into the depths of the surrounding woods.

Hey~

Izayoi Sakamaki showed a rather interested expression, and a rather arrogant smile appeared on her lips.

Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki exchanged a glance.

"Should you go first, or should I?"

"I just heard about the Gift Game from Black Rabbit, and now I'm so anxious I'm burning with anger."

After saying that, Izayoi Sakamaki headed straight into the depths of the forest.

Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki's impatient look, Luo Mio smiled and followed after her.

And then, after an unknown amount of time...

On the way, Izayoi Sakamaki, with her hands behind her head, said with a bored expression.

"I thought this World's End was some kind of forbidden zone. But all these things on the road are just like the monsters in a newbie village. How boring."

Luo Mio chuckled softly.

"Those guys, if it were anyone else, they probably would never be able to defeat them in their entire lives."

Izayoi Sakamaki shrugged, then her gaze fell on Luo Mio.

"How about we have a fight right here, Little Brother Mio?"

Izayoi Sakamaki looked at Luo Mio with burning, passionate eyes.

Seeing Izayoi Sakamaki's gaze, Luo Mio looked ahead.

"We've arrived at our destination."

Upon hearing Luo Mio's words, Izayoi Sakamaki turned her gaze forward.

After passing through the forest, a beautiful view appeared before their eyes.

This is the sheer cliff known as the 'World's End,' and it is also the end of the great river that divides the Hakoniwa World into eight parts— Toreutonis Great Waterfall!

"Those guys said that the water god's retinue lives here?"

"Um."

Luo Mio nodded, then pointed to the lake in front of them.

"That must be the guy inside."

The next second, a huge white snake, over thirty feet long, appeared before their eyes.

Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki exchanged a glance, then Izayoi Sakamaki smiled and walked directly toward the giant white snake in front of them.

Luo Mio then headed towards the very edge of the world, the 'World's End'.

After glancing at Izayoi Sakamaki, who was already clashing with the 'Serpent God's' familiars behind her, Luo Mio withdrew her gaze.

Looking at the sheer cliff in front of me, which is known as the 'World's End'.

Luo Mio lowered her eyes slightly, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her. For some reason, a Honkai Energy slowly flowed out from Luo Mio's palm.

"Huh?"

The moment Luo Mio summoned the Honkai Energy, she froze.

Because the Honkai Energy in Luo Mio's hands now seems to have received an unknown enhancement, its magnitude has instantly increased several levels compared to before.

Is this... a power bestowed by the Hakoniwa World?

No... it doesn't feel like a gift, besides, Luo Mio's current status no longer requires the world to bestow anything upon her...

It feels more like... Luo Mio's existence, or rather, the Honkai Energy has been confirmed and recognized? And thus, she has received a kind of cognitive enhancement?

"..."

Luo Mio looked at the Honkai Energy in her hand, and her azure eyes quietly turned into a dazzling gold.

Then, in Luo Mio's Consciousness Space, a line of words slowly appeared in Luo Mio's mind.

—"The Last Embryo"!

Chapter 4: Me = Demon King?

"The Last Embryo"

Luo Mio stared at the large characters flashing in her Consciousness Space and fell into deep thought.

Last Embryo...

Then Luo Mio's gaze fell on a line of text behind "Last Embryo".

— "The Finality" is also known as "Lord of Honkai" or "Demon Lord of Honkai".

"..."

Looking at the name in front of her, which resembled a title or honorific, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is... the identity? The title? that the Hakoniwa World has given me?

But...

Luo Mio's gaze then fell upon the very conspicuous and eye-catching title, "The Last Embryo."

'Last Embryo...'

Just as Luo Mio was pondering, a sudden roar interrupted Luo Mio thoughts.

Exiting the Consciousness Space, Luo Mio turned her eyes to look behind her.

The splashing water was heading his way.

Seeing this, Luo Mio also gently clenched her fist.

A faintly visible, orange-red greatsword suddenly appeared in Luo Mio's hand. At the same time, a violent, scorching heat wave appeared around Luo Mio, making the air around her even drier.

Raising her orange-red greatsword, Luo Mio slashed fiercely down at the massive wave of water that resembled a tsunami.

"Boom------!"

As Luo Mio swung the sword, the blazing sword, like a new star burning, emitted a roaring sound of fire.

Then, in Luo Mio's eyes, the water wave, which did not seem to be naturally formed, was directly split in two by Luo Mio.

The instant the flames touched the water, a thick cloud of steam instantly obscured Luo Mio's figure.

With a gentle flick of his hand, he blew away the white haze that was obstructing his view.

But when the view ahead was revealed, Luo Mio's expression suddenly changed.

Izayoi Sakamaki had finished her battle with the 'Serpent God' and was walking towards me.

Behind him, the enormous white serpent god floated on the lake as if unconscious.

Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly, her gaze towards Izayoi Sakamaki revealing a hint of surprise.

Although it is merely a follower of the water god, it possesses a divine nature. Being called the Serpent God in the Toreutonis Great Waterfall is a testament to its formidable power.

However, judging from Izayoi Sakamaki's completely unharmed appearance, this battle was nothing special for him.

Then, Luo Mio's gaze fell on the thing in Izayoi Sakamaki's hand.

That is...

In Izayoi Sakamaki's hand was something that looked like a sapling.

Luo Mio sensed a strong aura of life, or rather, the aura of water.

Seeing Luo Mio's gaze, Izayoi Sakamaki shrugged and then spun the sapling around like a basketball.

"Who knows what it is? It appeared on my head when I was defeating that guy."

As soon as they finished speaking, Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes suddenly moved, and they looked in the direction of the path they had come from.

"Bang!"

A familiar figure appeared before them in an instant, moving at an incredible speed.

Upon seeing that figure, both Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki were slightly taken aback.

Because the visitor was none other than Black Rabbit!

However, unlike before they separated, Black Rabbit's beautiful, waist-length blue hair had turned into a dreamy pink cherry blossom color, and even her ears had turned pink cherry blossom color as well.

"Black Rabbit?"

When Black Rabbit saw Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki, she gave them a look of utter bewilderment, as if they were dealing with Problem Children.

"Seriously! Mr. Izayoi and Mr. Mio, you two are really something!"

"And Miss Yao and Miss Asuka too! They knew you were both gone, yet they didn't tell Black Rabbit!"

"You know, this area is used as a game territory by certain gods and Buddhas! If you guys are dragged into Favor Match, I, Black Rabbit, will be very worried!"

"..."

Faced with Black Rabbit's anxious voice, Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki exchanged glances.

"Is this what you mean by the Favor Match of gods and Buddhas?"

As she spoke, Luo Mio pointed to the sapling in Izayoi Sakamaki Black Rabbit's hand that contained the scent of water.

Following the direction Luo Mio pointed, Black Rabbit also looked at the Water Sapling in Izayoi Sakamaki's hand.

The moment Black Rabbit saw the Water Sapling, its mouth was slightly open.

"..."

"How... did you get this?"

They exchanged a glance, and Luo Mio said, "I got it after Izayoi fought the snake god over there and won."

Upon hearing that Izayoi had defeated the Serpent God, Black Rabbit was so shocked that he was speechless.

Izayoi looked at Luo Mio and said, feeling quite awkward all over.

"Hey, Little Brother Mio, could you use that flaming greatsword of yours to dry my clothes? I'm really annoyed by being soaked to the bone."

Luo Mio was both amused and exasperated by this, and then reached out and tapped Izayoi Sakamaki.

Immediately, Izayoi Sakamaki's clothes, which had been soaked by the water, were dried by a warm current in an instant.

Feeling the warmth emanating from the clothes, Izayoi Sakamaki's eyes revealed a deep sense of amusement.

Black Rabbit, who witnessed this scene, also inadvertently caught a glimpse of Luo Mio standing in front of her.

It has a charred, reddish-brown mark.

However, upon closer inspection, one can discover that within these traces, tiny flames, seemingly symbolizing destruction, are burning.

The lake water was instantly incinerated the moment it touched the flames.

"..."

Slowly raising her head, Black Rabbit looked at Luo Mio and Izayoi Sakamaki who were talking, and a glint of light appeared in her rainbow-colored eyes.

'If it's them... if it's them, then our community will definitely be able to...'
