Genshin Impact: The Recorder of All Things

"You wretched old woman, what are you doing?!"

She herself forgot, but Yukari Yakumo didn't. Shouldn't she be keeping an eye on things at a time like this? How did things escalate like this?!

"Where are they? Where did they all go?!" Reimu squinted through the layers of ice and saw what looked like a black and red figure, along with a large cloud of black mist.

Reimu frowned and looked around. From the Lake of Mist to the Village of the Humans and then to the Enchanted Forest, it seemed as if the entire land had been corroded, filled with deathly silence.

"what happened?"

"It's an anomaly, Reimu!"

"Whoa! You scared me to death~" Reimu exclaimed, then grabbed Gohei and swung it like a mighty club at the source of the sound.

Let's use this attack to kill the demon sage!

Whoosh-!

boom! ! !

The collision of the gohei and the folding fan created a massive wave of air, shaking the surrounding ice and creating a deep crater. The crater, large enough to fill several Reimues, was completely devoid of water.

"Cut~"

"You cut it, didn't you!?"

"That's right, so what!?"

Ha, so she thinks Reimu Hakurei was raised on fear?!

Go ask around, who's the biggest boss in all of Gensokyo?!

Who doesn't know that the Hakurei Shrine Maiden is invincible? The reason for promoting spell cards is precisely to give people a chance to defeat the Hakurei Shrine Maiden.

"The Hakurei Great Barrier is about to shatter," Yukari Yakumo said quietly.

Why are the Hakurei Shrine Maidens invincible? Because they are one with the Hakurei Great Barrier, or rather, with Gensokyo. Fighting them is fighting the entire Gensokyo, and there is absolutely no hope of winning unless you can destroy Gensokyo.

There are people in this world who could do it, such as a certain ahoge (shaggy head), a certain hell goddess, or a certain master of the lunar capital, but they wouldn't do it because the price they would have to pay would be unbearable.

But if the Hakurei Barrier is gone, and Gensokyo is gone, Reimu Hakurei will no longer be invincible.

But faced with Yakumo Yukari's threat, Reimu merely scoffed "Heh heh," and then—

An immense and pure spiritual energy erupted from Reimu's body!

"Have you forgotten that I am a genius, born with an immense, almost inexhaustible supply of spiritual energy?"

Yakumo Yukari: “…”

Sorry, I really forgot...

Reimu is a genius, a born shrine maiden.

Putting aside her innate spiritual power, which is no less than that of a great demon, her learning ability is something that Yukari Yakumo has never seen before.

For example, the ability to invoke gods usually involves various forms of dancing, prayer, and pleasing the gods in order to borrow their power.

Reimu didn't need to do that. She studied with Yukari Yakumo for a day, and the next day she went to battle against Yorihime Watatsuki.

Here's a brief mention of who Watatsuki Yorihime is—Watatsuki Yorihime, whose nickname in the martial arts world is "The Moon Princess Possessed by a God".

He possesses the power of divine possession, with eight million gods residing within him, and he can command them through their power.

Normally, shrine maidens use a "formal order" to summon deities, but her ability seems to allow her to summon deities quickly without needing this sequence.

From the highest noble sons to the lowest deities, anyone she calls out can appear. Of course, this has nothing to do with her "father" being the 4.7 Moonlit Venerable; it's mainly due to her own efforts.

As ZUN once said, "Because she's a cheat character. It's not a scientific power, it's purely her ability. The stronger the god who descends, the stronger she becomes. Because her ability is too strong, she can only appear in the manga."

Someone like that, Reimu casually learned about spirit possession and went to fight her...

A natural-born witch needs no explanation.

Reimu gently placed the gohei (a type of scepter) on Yakumo Yukari's neck. "Tell me, what happened!?"

P.S.: Thank you to "zlice", "Cosmic Black Hole", "CFCFEX", "bzsp", "Without Beginning or End", "Clear Rain and Fireworks", "Seashell in a Dream", "Illusion into Emptiness", "Shiba Inu Fords", "181…", and "Happy Fat Otaku" for their monthly tickets. A new month has begun, please give me monthly tickets, subscriptions, recommendations, and flowers.

The overlapping settings in Chapter 215: A professional shrine maiden seeks employment.

"Tell me what happened."

Although Reimu's words were light and casual, Yukari Yakumo could clearly see a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

She was worried about Rumia, whose dark red figure was now trapped in layers of ice, unable to move, along with the black mist.

However, Yukari Yakumo didn't panic. "Reimu, you've gone too far! You actually pointed a weapon at me!? Do you know how much I raised you, wiping away every drop of water in your mouth... Ouch, ouch, ouch!"

The wooden stick was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and even the great youkai Yakumo Yukari's physique almost couldn't withstand it.

"You can keep spouting nonsense, but whether I listen or not... you understand?"

"I understand, I understand!"

As Yakumo Yukari pulled open the door, she revealed two unconscious figures, one of whom was Cirno, a great fairy.

"This is?"

"It's a fairy!"

"Nonsense!" The gohei was thrust forward, and the shrine maiden's spiritual power, which was specifically designed to counter yokai, made Yakumo Yukari gasp for breath.

"Okay, here's the thing—"

Just after Rumia was engulfed by the black energy and went berserk, Kiki 04 Luno, in her anxiety and fear, unleashed an even more terrifying power, freezing Rumia and the black energy together while they were fighting.

Reimu: "???"

Reimu retrieved the gohei and then poked Cirno's cheek with it. "You mean this 'air conditioner' took down Rumia and someone no less powerful than Rumia?"

"Hmm."

"Do you think I believe it?"

What a joke! She captures Cirno every summer, how could she not know what abilities she has?

Even a human with a bit of courage can defeat fairies, let alone an idiot like Cirno.

"But that's just how it is," Yukari Yakumo said helplessly.

"What's going on?" Reimu realized from Yukari Yakumo's expression that she was telling the truth.

Yukari Yakumo connected the gap to the Scarlet Devil Mansion and threw the two fairies inside.

Then she said, "I don't understand either. She suddenly became the same size as Rumia (pointing to Rumia in the ice), and then she unleashed her power."

"That power is no less than that of any great demon!" Yakumo Yukari said solemnly.

Reimu understood what she meant. Great youkai vary in strength. The weak ones can't even withstand Reimu's aura, while the strong ones require her considerable effort. And "not inferior to any great youkai" means that even people like Yukari Yakumo and Yuuka Kazami might not be able to defeat her.

But how could that be? This idiot?

“I can’t explain this to you. I’ll find someone for you.” Yakumo Yukari looked at Zhong Gui, who hadn’t spoken until now. “Does Young Master know?”

"know."

Just now, he communicated with the system.

"System, what's going on?"

"Hey bro, do you remember what the Touhou Project is?"

"game?"

"Wrong! They are the three giants of the doujinshi industry!"

The original story setting and art style of Touhou Gensokyo were simple, and it was gradually filled in by ZUN and various fan artists.

Rumia's story comes from "Touhou Yureimu," and is also one of the fan-made stories.

Zhong Gui: "Fanfiction is killing the original work."

System: "That's right, but because the Touhou series doesn't have enough main storyline and leaves a lot of blank space, it can only be considered as supplementary settings."

System: "When Reimu was at her peak, someone came up with the idea that Cirno also possessed hidden powers. Now that Gensokyo is on the verge of destruction and preparing to relocate, all sorts of messy settings are being integrated and refined. Cirno's power is one of the settings that has been retained."

The system continued, "One of the remaining settings is that fairies are the embodiment of nature and the manifestation of life force. When Gensokyo was destroyed, nature ended, and life force lost its balance. As a result, the fairies also lost their balance. Their normally terrifying life force was transformed into the power of natural elements, just like a warship's engine finally having energy, which led to the scene before us."

"I probably understand."

Gensokyo not only has a lot of girls, but also a lot of different settings. There are first settings, second settings, third settings, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth settings...

Now that Gensokyo is being taken away in a package deal, these superimposed settings are beginning to erode the original setting, and they are all mixed together.

System: "However, among the fairies, basically only Cirno has benefited. After all, this setting originated with her, but it didn't become very popular, so she's not very skilled at using it, which is the main reason she's unconscious. The settings in Gensokyo have unknowingly overlapped, but they're just not aware of it yet. Like these two in front of you, don't you think Reimu's strength is off?"

Zhong Gui: "I don't think Reimu is invincible in Gensokyo."

System: "Alright, I finally understand why she's so strong."

If even the big shots think this way, what can the world consciousness say? It has to come up with this concept, fix it, and strengthen it.

Yukari Yakumo asked him if he knew anything, and Zhong Gui replied, "I know."

"However, let me ask you a question first: Yakumo Yukari, do you still remember what kind of youkai you are?"

“Me? Of course I am…” Yakumo Yukari was taken aback.

"what is it then?"
