Zongman: Pan-dimensional sign-in system

The earth trembled, as if even the heavens and the earth were trembling at the battle. The buildings within the Yotsuba Shrine were crumbling, dust billowing in a haze of devastation. Even the third barrier, hailed as the final line of defense—an incredibly heavy, alloy-reinforced gate—collapsed with a deafening roar under the impact of the terrifying light. Boulders and debris flew everywhere, and many who hadn't yet reacted were mercilessly crushed by the collapsing boulders. Their screams and cries for help mingled, creating a scene of unparalleled woe.

Looking at the scene before her, Yotsuba Maya's face was solemn and resolute. She knew that with her current strength, she could not stop Shangguan Wen. However, as a member of the Ten Master Clan and the guardian of the Yotsuba Shrine, she could not give up easily. She took a deep breath, and with a determined look, she glanced at the other members of the Ten Master Clan who were also terrified but still trying to hold on, and said:

"Everyone, retreat. Join the seed members who have already evacuated safely, and evacuate to a safe area in batches. The enemy is powerful, and we can't stop him here... Let me make a final effort to buy you precious time." Her voice was soft, but it carried undeniable power, and every word struck a deep chord with everyone present. They looked at this woman, usually gentle and dignified, who now displayed immense tenacity and determination, and their hearts were filled with indescribable respect and emotion.

"Mayo, I'll stay with you."

A firm voice suddenly rang out, breaking the brief silence. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Nanakusa Hiroichi step forward, his face filled with determination and reluctance.

As a man who was once engaged to Yotsuba Maya but was unable to be together for various reasons, Nanakusa Koichi always retains a deep attachment to Yotsuba Maya in his heart.

Even though he later married the legitimate daughter of one of the other ten master clans, his feelings for Bai Yueguang Yotsuba Maya never truly faded.

At this moment, facing the critical moment of life and death, he no longer cared about etiquette and status, and only wanted to fight side by side with his beloved until the last moment.

Upon hearing this, Yotsuba Maya's eyes flashed with a complex expression. She looked at Nanakusa Koichi, feeling a mixture of emotions. She knew that this emotion was sincere and deep, but she also knew that staying at this moment would only be a meaningless sacrifice. She shook her head gently, her tone carrying a hint of unquestionable tenderness:

"Hongyi, I appreciate your kindness. But you are the hope of the Nanakusa family, and an indispensable force in the Ten Master Clan. You cannot stay here and die with me. Take everyone away safely. This is my only request."

Nanakusa Hiroichi's face turned pale when he heard 0.0's words. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, he just sighed helplessly. He knew that Yotsuba Maya was right. If he stayed, he would only become a burden to her. So, he hardened his heart, turned around and shouted to the other members of the Ten Master Clan:

"Everyone, listen to Zhenye and evacuate in groups! I'll cover your retreat!"

Under his leadership, the members of the Ten Master Clans began to evacuate in an orderly manner. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and reluctance to leave Yotsuba Maya, but they also understood that their top priority at the moment was to survive and preserve hope for the future of the Ten Master Clans.

As the last person disappeared from sight, Yotsuba Maya and Nanakusa Koichi exchanged a smile, a smile tinged with bitterness and helplessness. They knew that the next battle would be their final mission in this life.

Shangguan Wen walked in and looked at all this coldly, without a trace of pity or sympathy in his eyes.

But after thinking of something, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 206 Everything is in vain

Shangguan Wen looked at the pair of white moonlights in front of him who were about to die together - Yotsuba Mayu and Nanakusa Mayumi, with a playful smile on his face. He directly tried to sow discord:

"Thank you for your assistance, Lord Nanakusa. Without you, I would not have been able to eliminate so many traitors. Your daughter Nanakusa Mayumi and the Nanakusa family will receive a corresponding reward from my Shangguan family."

With these words, a rift suddenly appeared between the two, who had been immersed in the past love and rekindling their old feelings. They were both patriarchs of the ten master clans. What kind of plots and schemes had they not witnessed, what kind of storms had they not experienced? However, at this moment, Shangguan Wen seemed to be holding a sharp sword, precisely piercing the most sensitive and vulnerable parts of their hearts.

Yotsuba Maya's expression instantly turned gloomy. She took two steps away without leaving a trace, her eyes filled with vigilance and scrutiny.

She knew that in this world where power and profit were intertwined, nothing was impossible. Furthermore, Neon had already lost a quarter of its territory to the Human Union. When she received the message, Kanagawa had already fallen. In such a crisis, a repeat of history was entirely possible. Nanakusa Mayumi was a beauty; if she were given to Shangguan Wen, it would be a disaster.

In fact, Yotsuba Maya herself had had this thought before, and she had tentatively asked her daughter Miyuki about it, but she had firmly rejected it. At this moment, she had no idea where Miyuki had gone, and a trace of worry rose in her heart.

Nanakusa Hiroichi, the head of the Nanakusa family, was inconsolable at the moment. He knew very well that this unspoken rule was universal among aristocratic families, regardless of nationality or country.

However, in this kind of global live broadcast, with just a nod, everyone in Japan would know that the Nanakusa family was "selling out their country for personal gain." But if he refused directly, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of Shangguan Wen and put the Nanakusa family in even greater danger?

Yotsuba Maya's gaze lingered on Nanakusa Hiroichi for a moment, and she saw the struggle and helplessness in his eyes. She understood that Nanakusa Hiroichi, like herself, was in a dilemma at the moment.

However, Yotsuba Maya refused to give in. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and thought about how to deal with this difficult situation. "Shangguan Wen, don't you think it's too much to sow discord like this?"

Yotsuba Maya's voice was cold and firm. She looked directly into Shangguan Wen's eyes, trying to overwhelm him with her aura.

Shangguan Wen seemed not to have heard anything, and continued with a smile:

"Master Nanakusa, you should know that in this world, strength determines everything. Your daughter Mayumi is top-notch in both beauty and talent. I am willing to accept her. It is her honor."

Nanakusa Hirokazu's expression turned even uglier, his clenched fists trembling slightly, as if ready to explode at any moment. However, he ultimately held back. He knew that his anger at this moment would only put him in a more passive position.

Shangguan Wen still smiled and said, "Nanakusa Hongyi, you should know that in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Making a choice now will be a good thing for you and the Nanakusa family."

Maya Yotsuba watched the scene unfold, a wave of sadness rising in her heart. In this world where power and profit intertwine, human nature has been twisted beyond recognition. She, too, once longed for genuine affection and trust, but reality repeatedly shattered her dreams.

Now, in order to prevent Shangguan Wen from using words to shake Nanakusa Hiroichi, Yotsuba Maya decided to take the initiative and drag Nanakusa Hiroichi into the water.

"That's enough, stop talking nonsense. Right now, I'm carrying all the magic power and Xiangzi of the Ten Master Clans and Neon. Watch out—Meteor Shower!"

Yotsuba Maya's voice was cold and resolute. As her words fell, the air around her began to distort, as if being pulled by an invisible force.

The barrier of night quietly unfolded, isolating this space from the outside world. Countless small balls of light drifted through the night sky, like stars falling into the mortal world, gleaming with dazzling light. These balls, condensed from the magic of the night, swirled and intertwined in the air, forming a magnificent painting.

Yet, this beauty concealed a deadly murderous intent. Maya waved her hands, and the orbs of light instantly transformed into countless rays, streaking across the night sky like meteors, shooting towards Shangguan Wen with unstoppable force. As long as the target object wasn't 100% transparent to light, Maya's magic would inflict damage. This was her unrivaled skill in battles among mages, and even the shattered Jumonji family's phalanx of walls proved incapable of defending against it.

Yet, facing this overwhelming light, Shangguan Wen appeared remarkably calm. A faint smile played upon his lips, his eyes revealing an unfathomable confidence. With a flick of his sleeve, the light previously controlled by Maye seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, shooting backwards in unison, completely out of Maye's control.

"Excuse me, I have a little bit of [Control] here, and your little trick happens to be within my control."

Shangguan Wen's words were calm and indifferent, but they struck Maya like a hammer in her heart. Yotsuba Maya's eyes widened, staring at Shangguan Wen in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe what was happening. Maya had never imagined that her famous skills could be so easily broken.

A strong sense of defeat surged within her, yet it also stirred her inherent stubbornness and unwillingness to give up. She gritted her teeth and waved her hands again, trying to regain control of the light. However, no matter how hard she tried, the light was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, no longer under her control.

Shangguan Wen looked at Yotsuba Maya's futile struggle with a calm and indifferent look in his eyes. A battle is a battle, and there is no room for mercy or compassion.

So he waved his arms again, and the light drew brilliant tracks in the air, eventually disappearing into the passage behind.

Maye collapsed to the ground, gasping for air. Her face was as pale as paper, her eyes filled with despair and unwillingness. She knew she had lost, a complete and undignified defeat. But she refused to accept it. She refused to lose to Shangguan Wen like this, unwilling to bring shame to the glory of the Ten Master Clans and Neon.

"The Ten Master Clans have become a thing of the past. Also, let me tell you one thing: those who escaped have been captured. Those who resisted were beheaded, and their clans were destroyed. As for those who surrendered, whether they can survive depends on their subsequent performance. You haven't shouldered the responsibility of the so-called Ten Master Clans."

Faced with the heavy blow of reality, Yotsuba Maya spat out a mouthful of blood.

"No, I haven't lost yet, Tatsuya!!!"

Chapter 207: Yotsuba is coming too

To be honest, Yotsuba Maya didn't expect that she would be killed in one move. She was carrying the glory of the ten master clans and all the magic power of the survivors. The CAD on her wrist was always full of magic power. In the end, she was killed in one move. She was really unwilling to accept it. Although she was unwilling, in order to win, she could only activate her secret weapon - Shiba Tatsuya, or Yotsuba Tatsuya.

Bang! An exceptionally crisp sound cut through the din of the battlefield. Simultaneously, a spell imbued with terrifying decomposition power suddenly shot out from the darkness, like the Grim Reaper's scythe, aiming directly at Shangguan Wen's brow. It was Yotsuba Tatsuya's signature standard move—Cloud Dissipation. While it wasn't an AOE (area of effect) explosion capable of instantly devastating an entire area, even a standard skill was enough to instill fear.

It could start from the material of an object, breaking it down into its most basic elemental molecules, causing everything it struck to dissipate like smoke. However, just as this move was about to succeed, a black whip shadow appeared like a ghost, shattering the spell directed at Shangguan Wen at astonishing speed.

It was Yotsuba Maya's shadow, transformed by her inexplicable magic into a sharp whip, guarding Shangguan Wen like a guardian angel. A look of disbelief crossed Yotsuba Tatsuya's face. He had never seen such bizarre magic, and he couldn't understand why Yotsuba Maya's shadow could possess such powerful attack capabilities. He was filled with confusion and bewilderment. Was this even magic? In his mind, magic was supposed to follow certain rules and logic, but the scene before him completely overturned his understanding.

But now is not the time to hesitate.

"Go ahead, Tatsuya!"

Maya Yotsuba's voice echoed across the battlefield, carrying an undeniable firmness and determination. As her words fell, Tatsuya Yotsuba seemed to be infused with new strength. More "Cloud Dispersion and Mist Dissipation" bullets shot from his fingertips, carrying with them the hopes and expectations of the entire neon magician world.

The bullets streaked across the night sky like a meteor shower, and a series of bullets were fired when the trigger was pulled with the momentum to destroy everything.

Shangguan Wen's location was instantly enveloped by Yotsuba Tatsuya's intense, almost materialized, decomposition magic. Like a ravenous beast, the magic madly tore at everything around it, attempting to reduce it all to nothingness.

Shangguan Wen's figure seemed small and fragile under the impact of this force, as if he would be swallowed up at any time.

However, Shangguan Wen didn't care about the bullets fired, they were too slow for him!

"It's over? Not necessarily..." Shangguan Wen's voice echoed across the battlefield, tinged with both sarcasm and confidence. When he reappeared before everyone, he was wearing the standard uniform commonly worn by Shadow Garden Shadows.

"Neon Magician won? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

He simply stretched out one hand forward, and it transformed into a huge magic net that was interwoven, firmly binding Yotsuba Tatsuya's decomposition magic power.

The raging magic power at this moment became quiet like a tamed beast, and could no longer pose a threat to Shangguan Wen.

Yotsuba Maya's face turned pale instantly. She never expected Shangguan Wen to be so powerful that he could find an opportunity to fight back in a desperate situation.

As the trump card of the Yotsuba family and the ultimate weapon of decisive battle, the skills of Yotsuba Tatsuya were actually broken so easily! This made her feel extremely shocked and desperate.

"Master, leave the rest to me."

Yotsuba Tatsuya's voice echoed in the somewhat empty meeting room. His eyes were determined, but between his brows was a veil of undisguised worry. His heart felt as heavy as if it were weighed down by a huge rock, for he was deeply concerned about Miyuki's condition.

Ever since Shenxue went to stop the powerful enemy named Angelina, he hadn't sent any messages back. However, at this critical moment, he couldn't allow himself to be distracted, because he had to face the more pressing enemy before him - Shangguan Wen.

Yotsuba Tatsuya took a deep breath and gently took the CAD symbolizing the power of the Ten Master Clans from Yotsuba Maya's wrist.

The moment he put on the CAD, a powerful force instantly surged into his body. It was the unique magic power of the Ten Master Clans and many Neon Magicians. It surged like a tide, enveloping him completely.

Even Yotsuba Maya could not fully control this power, but in the hands of Yotsuba Tatsuya, it seemed to have found its true home.

"The original protagonist's strength, a cowardly idealistic fool."

Shangguan Wen looked at Yotsuba Tatsuya calmly. At the same time, the Japanese people in the live broadcast all focused their eyes on Yotsuba Tatsuya.

They knew that this young man would be their last hope. Their hearts were filled with anticipation and prayer, hoping that Shiye Tatsuya could save them from the dire situation.

Elsewhere, the injured Yotsuba Miyuki quietly watched her brother. As she watched Tatsuya Yotsuba take over her aunt's CAD and prepare to fight to save Neon, she felt an indescribable emotion well up in her heart. It was a mixture of pride, worry, and obsession.

She let out irregular laughter and obsessive whispers, which made Angelina's scalp tingle.

Angelina couldn't help but sigh in her heart:

"As expected of Neon, a country that produces so many perverts, they really know how to have fun."

However, Yotsuba Tatsuya had no time to pay attention to his sister's unusual behavior. He was completely focused on dealing with Shangguan Wen. He harnessed his immense magical power like a true magician, unleashing highly concentrated magical missiles that bombarded Shangguan Wen non-stop.

Those missiles drew brilliant trails in the sky, as spectacular as a meteor shower.

Nanakusa Hirokazu watched the scene in front of him and could not help but feel lucky. Fortunately, he carried Yotsuba Maya, who was unable to fight anymore, in time, otherwise, both of them would probably not be able to escape.

While dodging Yotsuba Tatsuya's magic missiles, he silently prayed in his heart that Yotsuba Tatsuya would win.

This was completely naive. Just when Yotsuba Tatsuya thought he was about to win, an unexpected change occurred. In his stunned eyes, he suddenly felt an irresistible force surge from within his body. Then, he saw his body being split in two by an unknown weapon, and a clear crack appeared on his body from chest to forehead.

".No! How is this possible?!"

Yotsuba's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe he would die at this time and in this way. However, the facts were already before him, and he had to accept this cruel reality.

However, just as Yotsuba was about to lose consciousness, a miracle happened. He heard himself utter a spell:

"Automatic repair technique activated."

Immediately afterwards, his body began to heal at an incredible speed. Those broken bones, torn muscles, and blood vessels seemed to be reconnected by an invisible force. In a short while, Yotsuba Tatsuya's body returned to its original state, as if he had never been injured.

"What...what's going on?!"

Many viewers looked at Yotsuba Tatsuya in shock. They couldn't believe that he could come back to life after such a situation.

"Huh, isn't it good to die all at once?"

A cold voice sounded in Yotsuba Tatsuya's ears. He raised his head and saw Shangguan Wen's cold and sarcastic face.

Shiye Tatsuya understood that the enemy before him was not afraid or surprised by his resurrection. On the contrary, Shiye Tatsuya was more determined to defeat Shangguan Wen.

"Shangguan Wen, I won't let you succeed! The safety of the Ten Master Clans and Neon will be protected by me."

Yotsuba roared, charging towards Shangguan Wen once again. He wanted to prove to everyone with his own strength that he was the true master!

Chapter 208: Tatsuya Brand Meat Sauce, You Deserve It

Shangguan Wen watched Yotsuba Tatsuya charging forward with a conviction of victory. A playful smile played on his face. He lightly snapped his fingers. The air seemed to be ripped apart by an invisible force, and a deep crack suddenly appeared before him. Like a portal to the abyss, the crack emanated an ominous light, and then a figure slowly emerged from it.

She was a woman clad in full-body power armor, nearly 2.4 meters tall, like a walking war machine. Every inch of her armor gleamed with a cold metallic sheen, reflecting the horrified gazes of the surrounding audience.

She held a massive power hammer that seemed to be able to shake the heavens and earth, and every swing was accompanied by a roar of thunder, attacking at a speed far beyond what Yotsuba Tatsuya and the audience could see with the naked eye.

Yotsuba Tatsuya's pupils shrank suddenly. He had never seen such a powerful enemy before. His limbs and eyes couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at this moment. He could only watch helplessly as the huge power hammer came down like a mountain.

At the moment of close combat, Yotsuba felt an irresistible force enveloping him. It was the decomposition field released by the power hammer, which could easily break matter into its most basic particles. Yotsuba's body began to disintegrate under the erosion of the decomposition field, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

However, in the blink of an eye, just as their guard was lowered, disaster struck. The female giant extended her iron-clad arm and single-handedly grasped Yotsuba Tatsuya's head. Under her enormous hand, Yotsuba's head was like a fragile watermelon, crushed with ease, blood and brain matter splattering everywhere in a horrific scene.

However, at this critical moment, a strange phenomenon occurred. Yotsuba Tatsuya's body suddenly began to emit a faint light. The decomposed matter seemed to be reassembled by some mysterious force. His wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his shattered head also miraculously recovered.

"Automatic recovery technique activated."

A mechanical and cold voice echoed in Yotsuba Tatsuya's mind. It was the magic circle implanted in his body that was taking effect. Yotsuba Tatsuya, who had been dead, was revived at this moment with full health and stood up again.

His eyes were filled with determination and unwillingness. He charged the Titaness once again, brandishing dazzling magic bullets. They traced brilliant paths through the air, slamming into the Titaness's power armor like a meteor shower. However, the seemingly powerful bullets only caused ripples upon contact with the armor, as if blocked by an invisible shield, inflicting no substantial damage to the Titaness.

The Titan sneered, brandishing her power hammer with a fierce, intense attack. Though Yotsuba Tatsuya possessed an automatic healing technique, he still seemed dwarfed and powerless before the Titan's overwhelming power. His magic bullets were repeatedly deflected, and his body was repeatedly ravaged.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Yotsuba was hit by the female giant again. This time, his body was hit hard by the power hammer and smashed into the ground, creating a huge deep pit.

Tatsuya Yotsuba was vomiting blood, his body was in tatters and seemed like it would collapse at any time.

However, at this moment, the sound of "Auto-recovery ritual activated" echoed again in Yotsuba Tatsuya's mind. His body began to emit a faint light again, and those severely injured parts quickly recovered under the influence of mysterious power. Yotsuba Tatsuya struggled to climb out of the deep pit, his eyes filled with determination and anger.

However, this time, he resurrected to the same spot he'd been in when he'd fought Shangguan Wen. Looking around, Shiye Tatsuya realized he'd actually returned to the beginning of the battle. Shangguan Wen was still standing there, looking at him with a mocking smile. Shiye Tatsuya was startled, realizing that this was Shangguan Wen teasing and mocking him.

"You...you actually..."

Yotsuba Tatsuya was so angry that he was shaking all over. He had never suffered such humiliation and torture.

However, Shangguan Wen seemed not to hear his words and just waved his hand lightly.

The female Titan launched another attack, her power hammer whistling towards Yotsuba Tatsuya. Yotsuba Tatsuya gritted his teeth, knowing he couldn't fail again. He concentrated and waved his magic staff in an attempt to resist the female Titan's attack.

However, the power of the female titan was too great, and Yotsuba Tatsuya's magic shield was shattered the moment it came into contact with the power hammer.
