“Eh? That’s… that’s Lord Frieza!” A moment later, outside the Fire River Barrier, Dong Zhuo and Heike Kiyomori, who were hesitating about what to do next, saw Frieza passing by. At this moment, their reactions were very consistent—quickly running after him, “Lord Frieza, wait for us!”

These two NPCs did not hear the conversation between the Mysterious Man and Feng Bujue, nor did they know about the fake Orochi. But for them… they couldn’t stay in this other dimension anyway, and the only way out was to leave with Frieza.

…

At the same time, south of Gu Zhi Castle.

“Daji! Why did the resurrection technique fail? Our army has suffered heavy losses, if this continues…” Date Masamune rushed into the main hall, loudly announcing the terrible news, and intending to question Daji about what was going on.

“It’s over…” Daji, however, had a cold look in her eyes, and responded in a low voice, “It’s all… over…”

“What are you talking about? At this time, you need to buck up a bit!” Date did not understand what Daji meant, “As long as Orochi is still here, our army will not lose! Isn’t that right?”

“Lord Orochi… long ago… alas…” Just now, Daji had been monitoring the situation under Gu Zhi Castle through her demonic arts, so she knew everything, “In short… just now, the man who had been impersonating Lord Orochi canceled all the barriers and spells within Gu Zhi Castle.” She supported her forehead with one hand, “Currently, our army’s strength and morale are both at a disadvantage, and if we lose the ability to revive, we will collapse in the blink of an eye…” Daji was, after all, a military advisor to the demon army, and at this point, she knew how the situation would develop and what strategy was the most correct, “Date, I advise you… to surrender as soon as possible, they… they won’t kill you all. As for me… I’ll think of something myself.”

“What are you saying…” Date’s expression was a mixture of surprise and doubt, “What man impersonating Orochi? What happened to Orochi?”

Boom—

Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted his words.

Within the city, a monstrous energy erupted, light blasts raged, and the ground shook.

【Shen Zhi Wo】(Vortex of God), with a destructive force… turned the entire roof of Gu Zhi Castle upside down.

“What… is that?” Date, who was almost knocked to the ground by the energy shock, turned his head and looked outside the main hall, murmuring.

“Qitian Di (Lord Abandoned by Heaven)…” Daji’s expression changed slightly, and she pondered, “Hmm… if I can rely on him… then I’ll be saved.”

…

On the other hand, the Musou Arena.

“Feng Bujue, you better stop while you’re ahead…” The Mysterious Man was being taken advantage of by Jue-Ge, but he couldn’t fight back, which made him quite unhappy, “Even if I can’t directly kill you, I can still indirectly…”

“Isn’t it just letting my character die once?” Feng Bujue interrupted, “Using indirect methods… can’t permanently destroy my data, right?”

“Hmm… that’s right.” The Mysterious Man didn’t want to answer this question, but he had to tell the truth.

“Heh heh…” At this point, Jue-Ge basically confirmed that the “Special Plan F” that the other party mentioned was real, so he became even more unscrupulous, “By the way, tell me your name and basic information.”

The Mysterious Man helplessly answered: “My name is—【Infinite】, the final product of the ‘Evolutionary Project,’ a materialized form presented by a data group with ‘infinite’ programs.”

“How can I effectively kill you?” Feng Bujue immediately asked.

Infinite’s expression changed when he heard this: “The way to kill me, as far as I know, there are three… First, completely destroy me in the script world, leaving not a trace of debris; second, through formatting methods, in the serv…”

Zzzzzz—

Suddenly, a strange sound like radio interference interrupted Infinite’s words, and his body suddenly became blurred.

The next second, a space-time rift appeared behind him, and streams of matrix light tentacles probed out from it, entangling Infinite’s already data-like body.

And Jue-Ge… was affected by a repulsive force and was bounced away.

“…vice…zzzz…layer…zzzz…face…” As Infinite was dragged into the rift, his words continued, but their content was already intermittent and unclear.

About five seconds later, Infinite completely left this script space and escaped into another data layer; the rift he opened… also quickly closed and disappeared.

“Hmm…” Feng Bujue fell from mid-air and stood still, murmuring, “There’s such a trick…” He snorted, “Hmph… rather than having me trick too much information out of you here, you’d rather forcibly escape the script…”

“You seem pretty relaxed.” Ruo Yu’s voice immediately came from behind him, “Don’t you think it’s very bad to let him leave like this?”

“There’s nothing good or bad…” Feng Bujue turned around and replied in a deep voice, “Everything is inevitable.”

Jue-Ge’s stick-like state came again, only to see him supporting his right elbow with his left hand, resting his right hand on his chin, and saying in an unfathomable tone: “Do you think… us being placed in this script and happening to catch up with Infinite implementing his final plan in this space… is it a coincidence? Also, the existence of that ‘Special Plan F’… hehe…” He chuckled strangely, “The feeling it gives me is… ‘some guy’ predicted this scene a long, long time ago, and left a safeguard.”

Ruo Yu was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then replied: “Since that’s the case, there’s really nothing to dwell on.” As she said this, killing intent suddenly appeared between her brows, “Continue the killing game… let’s decide the winner.”

“Hey hey… think it through…” Feng Bujue really didn’t expect the other party to instantly accept this setting and throw it to the back of their minds, “You heard the death announcements of Xiao Tan and Qisha, right? Putting aside whether they ran into each other on a narrow road and fought to a draw, or were killed by Hua Jian taking advantage of the situation…” He took a half step back warily, and then said, “Anyway… their deaths are already a foregone conclusion… In this case, shouldn’t you and I, as the two obviously stronger parties among the remaining three, consider… killing Hua Jian first, and then settling the score?”

“You’re saying…” Ruo Yu continued, “It wouldn’t be worth it if we fought to the death here, or suffered a mutual loss, and then let Qin Qin reap the benefits, right?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean,” Feng Bujue replied.

“Hmph… so what?” Ruo Yu rarely showed a cold smile.

“Huh?” Jue-Ge murmured, “Hey… can we still play nicely… are you intentionally letting Miss An win?”

“You don’t need to try to guide me anymore.” Ruo Yu replied indifferently, “No one knows who will win or lose until the very end.” As she said this, she drew her sword out of its sheath, “Here and now, I don’t want to, and I won’t… act according to your thinking.”

“Tch…” Since the words had been spoken to this point, Feng Bujue already understood that this battle was inevitable, “Okay…” He also took out [Must Break Defense Blade], preparing to face the enemy, “Looks like you’re preparing to avenge that battle on this Musou Arena…”

The “that battle” that Jue-Ge was referring to was naturally the duel between him and Ruo Yu at the end of the *Toy War Arc*. That time, he won Ruo Yu’s [Seven Clear Frosts and Coldness] with a [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist] in the Demon Fighting State.

However… today, the abilities of the two have changed greatly.

This time, Feng Bujue no longer has the ability to summon the Demon Fighting State, nor did he bring [Nanto Flying Dragon Fist], because he already has [Baseball Fist Lv10], an even more terrifying trump card; and Ruo Yu’s strongest killing move has also been replaced by [Bipolar Rhapsody Murder] (Note: [Bipolar Rhapsody Murder] is a skill Ruo Yu comprehended when her melee specialization broke through to S-level, formed by merging the two A-level skills [Seven Clear Frosts and Coldness] and [Flame Sky Flying Snow]).

Two top players, facing each other one-on-one again, what will the result be?
