"Miss Tingyun!" March 7th exclaimed.
Before she could get close, Tingyun's body collapsed to the ground like a broken string, and a small glowing sphere slowly floated out from her chest and abdomen.
"Fellow Benefactors, allow me to reintroduce myself—I am the Lord Ravager, Phantylia. I am here to make this Immortal Boat fall apart and self-destruct!"
As she spoke, countless Antimatter Legion suddenly appeared, blocking everyone's path.
"Miss Tingyun is... the Lord Ravager of the Legion? What, what in the world is going on?!" March 7th still had an expression of disbelief.
"Everyone, calm down! The great enemy is before us, we must not lose our composure!" Fu Xuan's voice came from behind, and the Cloud Knights behind them also quickly engaged in battle with the Antimatter Legion.
"It wasn't 【Blaze Wind】 or 【Star Howl】 that targeted the Immortal Boat, you are very lucky."
Phantylia's voice drifted in mid-air, looking down and appreciating the sight of everyone fighting, as if appreciating an interesting work, still wanting more: "As for me, I dislike creating destruction with my own hands the most... It's a pity that General insisted on me making an appearance, so Phantylia had no choice but to show off a bit."
"It's time to keep the appointment, please allow me to take my leave first, I hope you can have fun with these actors..."
"The mastermind behind the scenes has finally appeared, this Tingyun is indeed problematic." Gojo Satoru yawned and stretched. "Since the Deer of Abundance, I've been waiting for Tingyun to reveal her true form, she's indeed a big fish."
"But the opponent is an Emissary of Destruction..." Yuta Okkotsu / Okkotsu Yuta stroked his chin, "And I don't think Phantylia wouldn't be prepared before making a move."
"Doesn't the Immortal Boat side have an Emissary of The Hunt?"
Gojo Satoru pursed his lips, "You've seen General Jing Yuan's strength, right? Not to mention himself, just that golden guy behind him is extraordinary, he looks ridiculously strong at first glance! Not to mention the Train Crew helping... That Welt is very deep, it's hard to say he doesn't have hidden strength."
"Then, Teacher, do you think they will win?" Yuta Okkotsu / Okkotsu Yuta was still a little worried.
"Heh, it would be very troublesome if two more Lords of Destruction came, but if it's just Phantylia alone..." Gojo Satoru's mouth curved slightly upwards, looking completely confident.
"They will win!"
"This... this... So, Miss Tingyun, who traveled with us, is from the Legion?" March 7th was completely panicked at this moment: "What was that ball of fire that came out of her? Miss Tingyun's body... where did her body go?"
She raised her head and looked at Welt: "Uncle Yang, you are knowledgeable, what exactly happened just now?!"
"..." Welt sighed: "Alas, that ball of flame claimed to be the Lord Ravager, Phantylia. I have heard this name from other The Nameless before."
"She is one of the seven Great Lords under Nanook, she loves the self-destruction of mortals, and many beings have been lured into the abyss of no return by her..."
Fu Xuan's gaze darkened: "Does that mean the young lady from the Sky-Faring Commission was long ago beguiled by her and became a pawn of the Legion?"
Star and Welt exchanged glances, no one could easily accept this conclusion.
"...I don't think so. Phantylia is fond of the dual destruction of spirit and matter, leading from the collapse of the mind to the demise of the body." Welt analyzed, "But Tingyun's words and actions didn't seem like she was beguiled or manipulated, if she wasn't the original Tingyun, then it's more likely she was Phantylia's transformation."
"Uncle Yang means, the real Tingyun is still..." March 7th looked at Welt with a worried expression.
"Sorry, March 7th, I cannot give a definite answer. Where the original Tingyun is, and when she was replaced, with the dissipation of that body, we have no way to investigate."
"If Miss Tingyun dies, how can we live, boohoohoo..."
"Please, Miss Tingyun! Revive! My lover--!"
"Nooo, I'm willing to trade Itto Boss's ten years of being single for Miss Tingyun's revival!"
In Inazuma City, a group of big men holding the latest Tingyun merchandise folding fans were crying their hearts out, their heartbroken wails causing onlookers to shake their heads and sigh, even making the Tenryou Commission, who were responsible for chasing them away, feel pity.
"Hahaha--My Miss Tingyun definitely isn't dead, how could she die? Hehe..." Among them, a man wearing a shirt with Tingyun's illustration was even wiping tears while laughing, looking completely idiotic and deranged.
"Alas, another one has gone mad..." Kuki Shinobu sighed. Suddenly, she spotted Boss and a few Arataki Gang members in the crowd, all burying their heads and crying. She immediately got angry and grabbed Itto out of the crowd.
"Boss, they are crying, why are you joining in the fun?" Kuki Shinobu questioned.
"Huh?" Arataki Itto wiped the tears from his face, took out the limited edition Tingyun merchandise folding fan he had bought from his pocket, and smugly waved it in front of Kuki Shinobu's face: "Ah Shinobu, I'm now the President of the 'Tingyun Fan Mutual Aid Support Club'! Of course I had to come!"
"So, the gang funds you took from me a few days ago were just to register a fan support club at the Tenryou Commission?"
"..." Kuki Shinobu rubbed her forehead speechlessly, "So what now? Your support club has only been established for less than three days, and Tingyun is dead."
"Ah Shinobu! I must correct you! Miss Tingyun is not dead!" Seeing many people around, Arataki Itto quietly leaned into Kuki Shinobu's ear and whispered emphatically: "There are no signs right now that Tingyun is dead, right?"
"...But there are also no signs that she is still alive." Kuki Shinobu mercilessly shattered his fantasy.
"Stop talking, Ah Shinobu!" Itto showed a pitiful expression, "If you keep talking, the support club I worked so hard to establish will disband! I don't want my half-month's part-time income to go down the drain in three days!"
"This is just my personal guess... and hope. If that was Tingyun, why would Phantylia go the extra mile to destroy the evidence? Wouldn't throwing the remains in front of her old acquaintances be more in line with her aesthetic of Destruction?"
"I believe this is Phantylia's true goal--to make us fall into chaos and suspicion because of this, and completely fall into her malicious scheme."
Welt analyzed everything in an orderly manner, and Fu Xuan also nodded in agreement: "No wonder the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus started a rebellion, it turns out they were secretly colluding with the Legion's Great Lord. She disguised herself as a Xianzhou Person, sent the stellaron into the Xianzhou Loufu, and made us destroy each other..."
"Her target must be the Construction Wood! Interfering with the Construction Wood is like taking away the root of the Xianzhou Loufu, this way, destroying the Immortal Boat will be easy. There is no time to lose, we must stop her!"
"Board the Star-skiff, ahead is the grotto-heaven that seals the Construction Wood, the 【Scalegorge Waterscape】."
