Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 183 The Second Tide of Spiritual Energy Arrives, Evolution! Evolution! Evolution!

Kurumi Tokisaki believes that by killing the Origin Spirit, she can erase the history of the Spirits' birth, thus making it clear that all Spirits (including herself) never existed.

Her goal is to return the world to a peaceful state without elves or spacequakes, even if it means her own demise; though her actions are extreme, they are essentially aimed at saving more people, even at the cost of her own death.

Taking revenge on the Primal Spirits is just one part of her many goals. Her ultimate aim is complete self-destruction and world correction. She is willing to pay any price, including her own existence, to create a world free from the Spirit Calamity.

This is why so many people like Kurumi Tokisaki, and even Su Mengyao herself admires her greatly.

Although killing the Origin Spirit would be difficult for Kurumi Tokisaki with her power.

The main reason she said, "If you still want to kill her after seeing the story of your original world," was to help Kurumi Tokisaki further confirm the difference between her world and the real world.

As an elf, she could no longer induce spacequakes. Although she possessed special powers, many people in the real world possessed special powers, and Great Xia could allow the existence of an elf, as long as she preferred peace.

Therefore, the real world is, in a strict sense, a world where there is no need to worry about spirit disasters. Even if a spirit does cause a disaster, it doesn't need to be solved by Kurumi Tokisaki alone; everyone has to deal with it together.

This naturally includes the Primal Spirits.

If Kurumi Tokisaki wants to return to her own world in the future, and they have found a way to cross the barrier between the real world and the Date A Live world, they will keep their promise and do everything possible to send Kurumi Tokisaki back to her own world.

After hearing Su Mengyao's words, Tokisaki Kurumi fell into a brief silence.

The elegant smile still lingered on her lips, but the light in her eyes froze slightly. Su Mengyao had almost completely exposed all her obsessions: killing the Primal Spirit, returning to the original world, and even the hatred and struggle in her heart.

So, is it really because they know themselves so well that they have seen the story about themselves created by the "Creator"?
Is my world really just a story created by them?
So what does her existence even mean?

Was all the pain, betrayal, and despair she experienced merely a plot device to create the character of "Kurumi Tokisaki"?
Her fingertips gently touched her lips, her smile remained, but her eyes were slightly more profound.

Now that she has arrived in this real world, does it mean that she has transformed from "illusion" into "reality"?
So, should I continue to cling to my hatred for that illusory world in this real world?
Her thoughts raced for a moment, but quickly returned to calm.

"I agreed."

"Given my current situation, it seems I don't have the ability to refuse."

Kurumi Tokisaki said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Su Mengyao's face blossomed into a genuine smile. The instant Tokisaki Kurumi agreed, the rock binding Tokisaki Kurumi crumbled, turning into fine dust that drifted into the air.

"Thank you for your trust, Ms. Tokisaki Kurumi."

Su Mengyao took a step forward and extended her right hand.

Kurumi Tokisaki stretched her freed wrists, her wine-red right eye slightly narrowed, and she elegantly adjusted her skirt before extending her right hand to gently grasp Su Mengyao's hand.

"Then, please take care of me in the future."

Meanwhile, as time passed, at a point no one had anticipated...

The second spiritual energy tide has arrived.

At the edge of the solar system, the void rippled silently like silk, and pale silver cracks quietly unfolded, from which pure spiritual energy flowed out, like a thin mist, like moonlight, gently spreading over the cold celestial bodies, and finally converging on that blue planet.

And on Blue Star, beneath the deep sea.

The darkness was torn apart silently.

Dimensional rifts, unfolding like a solar system, burst forth, spewing out spiritual energy purer and more vast than that of the outside world. This energy spread across the seawater, transforming into a hazy mist.

And so, the deep sea boiled.

The giant beasts, which had already undergone a transformation during the first spiritual energy tide, have awakened.

A three-hundred-meter-long giant squid tore through the rock face, its suckers on its tentacles twisting and deforming, growing sharp barbs; a slumbering deep-sea serpent opened its cold, vertical pupils, a ghostly blue fluorescence seeping from between its scales; schools of mutated fish darted about like arrows, their bones creaking under the weight of the spiritual energy, yet they refused to stop.
They swam frantically toward the source of spiritual energy, greedily devouring every wisp of pure energy.

A mutated sea serpent arrived first. It opened its blood-red maw and swallowed a thick cloud of spiritual mist, but in an instant...

"Hey!"

With a tearing sound, its scales shattered, its flesh writhed, and its body twisted and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye; but it felt no fear, instead devouring even more frantically, even as its internal organs were torn apart by spiritual energy and its bones were crushed by energy.

In the distance, the tentacles of a giant squid broke off inch by inch, but new flesh and blood quickly grew from the broken wounds, becoming thicker and more ferocious. It charged forward recklessly, its tentacles grabbing and tearing apart any of its kind that blocked its way.

The entire sea area was transformed into a battlefield.

Blood mist filled the air, and wreckage floated in the air, yet not a single mutated sea beast retreated.
They rushed forward relentlessly, like moths drawn to a flame, mutating, swelling, and bursting under the baptism of spiritual energy. The entire sea was stained a pale blood-red, yet they remained tireless and fearless, driven only by their most primal instincts—

Evolve! Evolve! Evolve!

Even if it means being shattered to pieces, it will strive to evolve to a higher level. At the horizon where the sea meets the sky, a shimmering blue light curtain is slowly advancing.

It was a spiritual tide spreading from the deep sea, mixed with starlight pouring down from the sky, spreading a hazy mist along the coastline; it was like gauze and silk, gently flowing over the beach, soaking into the rock layers, and flowing towards the land.

The bark of the ancient pine tree cracked and peeled off, revealing crystal-like wood underneath. Pine needles grew wildly on the branches, each one gleaming with a cold, metallic light. Vines, like giant pythons, emerged from the ground, entwining the wild beasts that couldn't escape in time, turning them into nourishment.

The entire forest is changing at a visible speed, with the crisp sound of trees growing taller echoing everywhere.

The silver wolf on the mountaintop raised its head and howled, its fur standing on end, bathed in a moon-like halo of spiritual energy; with each breath, its body swelled a little larger, until its limbs could no longer bear the weight and it collapsed to the ground, but the next second, newly grown bones pierced through its flesh, supporting it to stand up again.

The giant crocodile in the swamp rolled about, its scales peeling off and regenerating. The bony spikes protruding from its back pierced through its skin, gleaming coldly in the soft light. It opened its blood-red maw, devouring the dense spiritual mist in the air, even as its internal organs were stretched to the point of bursting.

The flock of birds circled beneath the clouds, their feathers constantly falling off and regenerating under the cleansing of the spiritual energy. Some individuals, unable to withstand the pressure, suddenly stiffened and fell like stones; but many more completed their transformation in the midst of pain, their wingspans widening and their beaks sharpening into scimitars.

The mutated rat swarm reproduced wildly in the spiritual energy, and died wildly as well. Their bones twisted and deformed, some grew extra limbs, and some exploded completely, turning into blood mist to nourish their kind.

The surviving individuals had bulging fangs and bloodthirsty crimson eyes, yet they still tirelessly devoured every wisp of spiritual energy.

The same scene was playing out across the entire continent.

In the gentle, watery spiritual energy, the wild beasts are undergoing the most brutal transformation. They tear at their own kind and devour the vegetation, all in an effort to compete for the area with the most concentrated spiritual energy.

Without fear or retreat, only the most primal evolutionary instinct drives them forward, even if they might explode and die at any moment.

[Urgent Notice: Abnormal Fluctuations in Spiritual Energy Across the Entire Area]

[Concentration threshold exceeded: Benchmark values ​​of 15374% and 17923% continue to climb]

[452 Tier 3 psionic responses detected. The number continues to increase.]

The piercing alarm sounded in Tian Shu Bureaus across the country.

Inside the command hall of the Imperial Capital's Tian Shu General Bureau, red lights flashed wildly, and scarlet warning text scrolled continuously on the main screen.

"How can this be?"

"How could the second spiritual energy tide come so quickly?"

At the monitoring station, the monitor said incredulously, "You know, after the first spiritual energy tide, according to the research model they built, the second tide should not arrive for at least a year. How could it come so quickly?"

Neither Elder Li nor his side had predicted the arrival of the second spiritual energy tide.

In the center of the hall, Wang Shouguo strode to the control panel. He glanced at the densely flashing red dots on the national map, his face ashen.

"Immediately notify all provincial-level Tian Shu Bureau branches."

"In accordance with the emergency plan for the first tide, all field personnel will be deployed immediately."

His voice was calm and resolute.

Although they didn't expect the second spiritual energy tide to come so quickly, fortunately, they had already gained experience from the first spiritual energy tide and had been preparing for the second one.

Even if it came suddenly, it shouldn't have caught them off guard.

Moreover, after the first spiritual energy tide, they carried out special cleaning of the sewers in various cities, which greatly reduced the number of mutated creatures such as mutated rats, and they certainly wouldn't be as numerous as during the first spiritual energy tide.

Stray cats and dogs, as well as domesticated mutated pets, were dealt with during the first spiritual energy tide and are unlikely to recur.

Therefore, what we need to pay the most attention to is the potential beast tide.

Under the first spiritual energy tide, the number of mutated creatures in the mutated beast tide was mostly first-order and second-order, with third-order creatures being extremely rare, and some even only appeared after Qingshan County.
However, this time, among the more than four hundred third-order energy fluctuations that appeared within their monitoring range, even if half of them were human, the other half were mutated creatures.

However, how could there be so many beings within the capital city whose spiritual power had reached the edge of the second tier but had not yet stepped into the third tier, and who broke through during the second spiritual energy tide?

"But Chief, the number of third-order units detected this time far exceeds expectations, and the conventional contingency plan may be ineffective."

"Then double the manpower!"

Wang Shouguo slammed his hand on the control panel.

"Mobilize all available resources, monitor the situation 24/7, and take immediate action against any anomalies!"

"Yes!"
