Gu Zhi City, Main Hall.

The Super-Dimensional Army's attack had begun not long ago. All the demon generals in the city had gone to battle, leaving only Daji in the hall to oversee the command.

"D-Daji-sama!" At this moment, a demon soldier ran to the front of the hall in a panic and reported, "T-the East Gate has already been breached! If this continues..."

"Send the order, continue to defend to the death." Daji interrupted him and ordered in a deep voice, "No matter what, they must not be allowed to approach the 'Tenshu' (castle keep)."

"Y-yes!" The demon soldier responded and ran away.

After the other party had run far away, Daji once again showed a solemn expression.

"This is really terrible..." Her hand unconsciously placed itself on her ribs, and she muttered to herself, "Just what kind of monster is that Abandoned Heaven Emperor… Just being near him for a while… actually damaged my demon source…"

A rare trace of worry arose in Daji's heart. The shock that the Abandoned Heaven Emperor's earth-shattering power brought her shook her view of demon-life: "Orochi-sama… Is this really okay…"

…

At the same time, Gu Zhi City, East Gate.

"Mr. Kongming, now that the city gate has been destroyed, our army is advancing triumphantly, and the battle situation is very favorable to us." Cang, who was located in the Super-Dimensional Army's formation, said to Zhuge Liang beside him, "Military Advisor, what do you think… should be our next step?"

"Hmm…" Kongming was calm and composed, gently waving his feather fan. After a little thought, he replied, "In my humble opinion, next, our army should divide into three..."

"Hey! Cang." Kongming had only spoken halfway when Sima Yi interrupted, "I'm also a military advisor, right? Why does everyone ask Kongming for his opinion first at times like this?"

"Uh…" Cang was speechless for a moment, not daring to answer because he was afraid of offending people.

"Cough… cough cough…" The Lonely Marquis coughed twice next to him, showing off his resentful, sickly face in front of everyone. The subtext was: "I am a dignified civil and military crown, the military advisor and prime minister of the Violet Radiance Heavenly Dynasty, and Cang and I are from the same universe, but no one came to ask me first!"

"Hehe…" Kongming smiled lightly when he saw this, "Brother Zhongda is right, this time… let's listen to his strategy first."

Zhuge Liang was also clever. He knew that in the current situation, Sima Yi's plan would definitely be no different from his own, so he pretended to be modest here, since the result would be the same anyway.

"Hmph…" How could Sima Yi not know the little calculation in his old opponent's heart, so he didn't stand on ceremony with Zhuge Liang at all. After a cold snort, he opened his mouth and said, "The enemy's current defensive stance is obvious, and they want to block our army's advance, which shows that there must be something strange about the 'Tenshu' in the city, most likely the location of that seal; and the new enemy troops' momentum is faintly inclined to the west, which means that is where the demon army's resurrection is; in addition… demonic energy is clearly visible in the south of the city, the Southern Army's military strength is the strongest, and the demon generals in the army are also stronger. From this, we can deduce… the enemy's commander-in-chief, namely the military advisor Daji, is currently in the south of the city, and the enemy's main force is also in the south."

Sima Yi's analysis was also well-organized and logical: "In my opinion, our army should immediately divide into three routes. The first route… send a hundred elite soldiers to directly attack the location of the Tenshu; the second route, dispatch all those with the ability to inflict area-of-effect damage to intercept the demon army resurrecting from the west; the third route, the remaining main force, continue to face the enemy troops in the south." He paused, "With such an arrangement… the opponent's central defense force will not be able to exert the advantage of a long battle line; the resurrected demon army will have difficulty quickly rejoining the battlefield; and the main force in the south, affected by our assault troops, will also be at a loss as to whether to advance or retreat."

"Hmm… Brother Zhongda's opinion is brilliant." Hearing this, Kongming smiled and continued, "Liang… admires you."

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes at Zhuge Liang, held it in for two seconds, and spat out two not-so-elegant words: "Get lost~"

"Hehehe… cough cough cough… ah cough cough cough!" The Lonely Marquis was originally looking at the two with a fujoshi-like gaze, but after laughing a few times, it turned into a violent cough.

"Uh…" Cang awkwardly continued, "Okay, let's do as Military Advisor Sima says. I'll use telepathy to inform the entire army."

…

On the other hand, below Gu Zhi City, Musou Arena.

Musou Wasteland, a bizarre moon in the sky.

Today, an earth-shattering, tear-jerking demon war is about to begin here.

The Abandoned Heaven Emperor, the Cosmic Emperor, and the Musou Serpent Demon.

One is a god of destruction who despises all things, one is a cruel and arrogant ice demon, and the other… is an unfathomable Yamata no Orochi (eight-headed serpent).

When they appeared in the same place, a kind of killing intent originating from biological instinct had already ignited in their respective hearts...

"Painstakingly luring me here, is it to make me meet them?" The Abandoned Heaven Emperor lowered his eyes to look at Urahara Kisuke, his attitude still revealing composure and magnanimity.

"Hehe… I've already offered the Hogyoku (breakdown sphere) to Orochi." Urahara was not one to be trifled with, and he made up a lie as soon as he opened his mouth, "If you want it, just ask him directly."

"Oh?" The Abandoned Heaven Emperor wasn't stupid either, he knew that Urahara was lying, but he was too lazy to expose him, because… he had lost his patience, "In other words… keeping you is also useless."

Before he finished speaking, Urahara's pupils had contracted and his expression had changed drastically.

"Run!" Feng Bujue shouted this word at him, while already activating [Lingering Spirit Body Technique - Modified], moving away from Urahara.

As for Urahara, he had already moved the instant before Jue-ge spoke.

The killing intent of a god is comparable to a substantial energy shock. Ordinary people might experience mental breakdown or even death the moment they feel this energy. However… Urahara Kisuke is not an ordinary person, therefore, the moment he felt this killing intent, he immediately reacted.

[Shunpo (flash step)], is an extremely excellent movement technique. With Urahara's spiritual pressure and experience, as long as he spares no spiritual power and runs away with all his might, his speed will definitely not be inferior to Burter of the Ginyu Force (who claims to be the fastest in the universe).

However…

"Hand of God."

The Abandoned Heaven Emperor slowly chanted the name of the move, his figure flashed, and he was already in front of Urahara.

In the blink of an eye, a palm grabbed out.

Boom—

Blood, splattered.

The man, vanished.

There was no scream, no sudden change of color, and not even a hint of fear. Because… all of this happened too fast. Faster than sound, faster than sight, and even faster than human thought.

The Abandoned Heaven Emperor's close-combat move, a single strike to kill, shocked the entire audience.

None of the more than twenty Super-Dimensional Army members present, including Feng Bujue, could see the opponent's movements clearly.

However, Frieza and Orochi… saw it clearly.

"You've got to be kidding me…" Cold sweat had already formed on Frieza's face, and he thought to himself, "I must kill him here… I must not leave him in this world."

"Hmph hmph hmph… hahahaha…" On the other side, Orochi laughed out loud, "Excellent, this king, is waiting for an opponent like you."

"Opponent?" The Abandoned Heaven Emperor turned his back and looked back, squinting at Orochi, "You, an evil seed from another world, also want to challenge the authority of a god?"

"Precisely because you are a god…" Orochi raised [Mujian (No Between)], pointing it at the Abandoned Heaven Emperor, "There is meaning in slaying you."

"Hmm?" The Abandoned Heaven Emperor's expression changed slightly, "Could it be… the Hogyoku is really on you?" Seeing Orochi so confident, he suspected that the other party had the Hogyoku as a reliance.

"Hahaha…" Orochi laughed, "This king does know where the Hogyoku is. Urahara Kisuke is a smart man, he hid that treasure… inside the spirit body of 'a person'." He said to the Abandoned Heaven Emperor in an arrogant tone, "It's just… using the power of objects to increase strength violates this king's way, so I have never laid my hands on the Hogyoku."

In fact, Orochi had misunderstood the Abandoned Heaven Emperor at this time; Abandoned God wanted the Hogyoku not to increase his own strength, but to use it for other purposes. Of course, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor would not explain it to others, because gods… are used to being misunderstood by mortals.

"Hmm…" Hearing this, the Abandoned Heaven Emperor turned around calmly, facing Orochi and saying, "Very well, I admire your aloofness." As he spoke, he turned his hand over and raised it, "I just don't know… whether you have the strength to match it."

Seeing Abandoned God gathering power in his palm, Orochi did not dare to be careless, and immediately chose to release his power: "God from the Realm of Six Heavens… since you want to see it, then this king will satisfy you…"

As he spoke, Orochi had already raised [Mujian] upright, holding it with both hands, and said in his mouth: "Resurreccion—Yamata no Orochi!"
