Xingtie: My mission master joins the chat group.

Golden light flashed past.

When Sitrali opened her eyes, she found herself emerging from the dark, lightless abyss and returning to the land of Nata.

However, Nata now seems to have changed compared to before she left.

Thick clouds shrouded the sky above Nata, preventing even a sliver of sunlight from penetrating.

The whole sky felt oppressive.

I twitched my ears and could still hear the roars of wild beasts around me, accompanied by angry shouts from humans.

"What, what, what... We've only been gone for a short while, how did Nata end up like this?"

Sitella's eyes widened as she spoke.

The scene before her eyes made her feel as if the Abyss had invaded, but hadn't the monsters that led the invasion of Nata in the Abyss already been killed by Lin Mao and the others?

How come Nata is still experiencing Abyss Invasion?

Lin Mao explained, "It's due to the impact of the previous battle."

Imagine a glass of water filled with pebbles; the water will overflow.

The battle in the abyss was so intense that much of the abyss's power spilled out.

"When we left, I used up a wave of Abyss power. In addition, the guy who guided the Abyss to invade Nata disappeared. The Abyss will no longer actively invade Nata."

"Now that this part of the abyssal monsters has been eliminated, it should be over."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Mao raised his palm towards the sky, and his power gathered in the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a 'sun' appeared below the clouds.

The scorching heatwave dispersed the dark clouds, revealing the sun overhead, radiating endless light. However, even that sun was not as dazzling as the newly born 'sun' at this moment.

As Lin Mao's palm fell, the 'sun' that had dispelled the dark clouds crashed to the ground.

A tremor came from the ground beneath their feet, and flames spread rapidly in all directions from the ground where the 'sun' had fallen.

It swept across the entire Nata.

"nailed it."

Lin Mao clapped his hands. "Now the abyss above and below ground in Nata has been resolved. Perfect!"

Turning to look at Sitlarie and the others, all three of them had blank expressions.

Anna looked down at her palm, slowly clenched her fist, and murmured, "Something's not right... I'm a Herrscher too..."

Isn't this difference a bit too big?

If she were in Lin Mao's position, it would take her at least a day or two to solve the abyss problem on the surface of Nata.

Lin Mao, with a simple raise and lower of his hand, resolved the matter.

Is the difference really that big?

Anna, the Herrscher of Ice, was deeply shocked. The confidence she had built up by bullying Honkai Beasts and zombies was completely shattered in front of Lin Mao.

"Turns out I'm nothing at all... Waaah... I've disgraced the Herrscher class so much..."

Lin Mao casually replied, "Good to know."

"Huh? Aren't you going to comfort me?"

Anna crossed her arms, pouted, and said.

"You just need to practice more."

"..."

Although Sitral had seen the sword rising above Nordcale before.

However, viewing it from a distance is a completely different experience from viewing it up close.

can only say.

Fortunately, this guy doesn't have any bad intentions.

Otherwise Teyvat will be doomed.

Aside from her lack of understanding of natural law and governance, Citrali did not believe that any country could be a match for Lin Mao.

Perhaps only a united front of the seven nations could offer a slight chance to counter Lin Mao.

Note that there is only a sliver of hope, but the chances remain slim.

"It really is you guys."

Mavica came over, and when she saw Lin Mao, a knowing look flashed in her eyes.

After noticing someone had entered the abyss, she originally planned to follow them in to prevent Sylvanas from rushing in impulsively.

As a result, Nata was subjected to a large-scale invasion by the Abyss.

This kept Mavica busy for a while, and she only managed to come over after Lin Mao dealt with the abyssal monsters.

Seeing Lin Mao standing next to Sittrali.

Mavica suddenly understood why Sitrali had said something like "she's going to deal with the Abyss."

If we were to ask who among all the people Sitrally knows most desires to resolve the Abyss, it would probably be Hayashi Mo.

After all, it was Lin Mao who repelled the previous Abyss invasion, and that invasion didn't even have the slightest impact on Nata.

This was absolutely the least impactful of all the Abyss invasions.

This is enough to prove Lin Mao's strength.

"So that's why Grandma has been so confident lately, even making bold statements about taking care of the abyss herself. It turns out she has Mr. Lin Mao by her side."

Mavica chuckled softly.

Hearing Mavica's words, Celestella blushed, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I don't know what price Sitella paid to get you to take action. If possible, I'll pay it for her."

Crash.

Lin Mao took out a book. "This one."

Seth Lari paused for a moment, then touched herself.

He then realized that this thing should be at home, so how did it suddenly end up in Lin Mao's hands?

She also planned to find an opportunity to have a proper talk with Lin Mao to see if she could exchange the item for something else.

Mavica looked at the cover.

"Reincarnated as the Thunder General, and then invincible under heaven"?

I remember it was a light novel published by Yaedo Inatsume.

So, he actually likes this kind of thing?

No... just a light novel, and you got the other party to help you solve the Abyss?

Who is this great philanthropist in the world?

The captain arrived shortly afterward. During Nata's invasion by the Abyss, the captain and his subordinates undertook a large part of the defensive fortifications.

Setrali seemed to remember something and asked Lin Mao, "Now that the Abyss problem is solved, shouldn't we repair the ley lines next?"

"Repair the ley lines?" Mavica and the captain turned their heads at the same time.

Mavica asked, "Does Your Excellency have any good methods for repairing the Nata ley lines?"

Since the power of the Death Ruler has not been unsealed, she cannot use that power as fuel to provide strength to Nata's Netherworld Kingdom.

The captain shook his head slightly.

"Instead of clinging to the broken ley lines, we should demolish and rebuild them, giving them a more powerful ability to resist the pollution of the abyss and other sources."

Lin Mao didn't answer Mavica, but instead looked at the captain and smiled:

"Your real purpose is to give the soul inside your body a place to belong, isn't it?"

team leader:"……"

Realizing that his true thoughts had been seen through, the captain did not deny it, but instead nodded generously in acknowledgment of Lin Mao's words.

"That was indeed one of my thoughts, but that purpose was not the factor that influenced my decision."

Lin Mao stroked his chin, lost in thought.

The captain opened his mouth, but Lin Mao's voice came first.

"If we include your requirements, the preparation work will be a bit more... Wait a minute, I'll go find a helper."

After saying that, he vanished in a flash before their eyes.

After a while.

Ling, who was slacking off at home, didn't realize what was happening when a large hand grabbed her, and in a flash, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place.

Looking around, the only familiar person was Lin Mao.

As expected, the person who brought her here was Lin Mao.

"..."
