Crystal Palace from Infinite Anime

"So that's how it is. He's willing to sacrifice his own summons just to put on a show and get close to us." Busujima Saeko said with sudden realization.

Afterwards, it was Mizuki Shiranui, a veteran Taimanin and a seasoned veteran of many battles, who asked Lin Zhiyu a crucial question:

"Well, Kobayashi, I'm sure you gathered everyone here not just to tell everyone how dangerous Camilla is, right? Do you already have a plan in mind?"

"Well... it's not really a plan, but we still need everyone's cooperation." Lin Zhiyu and Mizuki Fubuki exchanged a glance, then their eyes swept over the faces of Bayonetta, Laura, Evelyn, Shiraki Meiko and others.

Those who are stronger in their team, such as Bayonetta, are still qualified to participate in the operation to subdue Camilla.

But those who are weaker, such as Meiko Shiraki, Laura, and Shizuka Marikawa, will only experience what it means to "when gods fight, mortals suffer" if they don't run away once the battle breaks out.

That's why Lin Zhiyu gathered everyone together in advance and made arrangements first.

After all, Camilla is a powerful Ultraman.

If a battle really broke out, even if she was defeated and simply fell to the ground, her massive body would be enough to collapse the entire Elf Palace...

Chapter 42: Virgin Ultraman

Two days later, Lin Zhiyu said goodbye to Eifeldis on behalf of everyone, saying that they had found their companions and were preparing to leave for the Forest of Elves. Because Lin Zhiyu had said goodbye in advance, and knowing that Lin Zhiyu was leaving so soon, Eifeldis had other motives, so she only symbolically tried to keep Lin Zhiyu.

Almiya, unaware of the truth, was in tears, yet she felt too embarrassed to stand up and ask Lin Zhiyu not to leave. After all, she had only known Lin Zhiyu for a short time, and with so many women around him, it seemed like she wouldn't need one more. However, Lin Zhiyu had just taken away her innocence, and yet he was leaving so soon. After all, she was a princess too. Was he really that cheap...?

Lin Zhiyu didn't know about Almiya's complicated thoughts. There were too many women around him, and he really couldn't take care of everyone's feelings in every possible way.

Besides, this hasty farewell doesn’t mean they are really leaving.

The purpose was just to bring Camilla to an open area where there were few people, so that it would be easier to take action.

Otherwise, if they really had to fight with a powerful "giant" like Camilla, the Elf Palace would most likely be destroyed!

In reality, Camilla, like Noel, was only temporarily accompanying Lin Zhiyu and the others. Noel was still in the group because she was going to take Lin Zhiyu to the Elf Forest later, and Lin Zhiyu agreed to this. At least, wasn't that the reason Lin Zhiyu used to say goodbye to the Elf Queen this time?

Camilla is different.

She initially pretended to be attacked by a monster, and after being rescued by Saeko Busujima and the others, she joined the team. However, the real boss of the team was undoubtedly Lin Zhiyu. Without Lin Zhiyu's approval, Camilla would never truly join the team, and the others would not truly accept her.

But she was not like Noel, who had a legitimate reason to stay in the team.

Logically, by the time Lin Zhiyu and the others had departed Agrariel, Camilla, already safe, should have parted ways with them. However, she insisted, claiming she had no relatives and no friends and didn't know where else to go, and begged them to take her along. Lin Zhiyu knew she wouldn't give up even if he refused, so he naturally accepted her.

But while accepting Camilla into the team officially, he also teased Camilla a bit.

"Want to join my team?"

"Miss Camilla, do you really understand what it means to join my team?"

"Or do you not know the relationship between me and everyone in the team?"

While questioning Camilla, Lin Zhiyu walked around, passing by his wives one after another, touching Saeko's hair, pinching Melina's face, patting Uehara Rin's butt, and deliberately rubbing his shoulder against Mizuki Shiranui's chest...

In fact, not everyone in the team has entered Lin Zhiyu's harem.

For example, Meiko Shiraki, Sayaka Saeki, Laura, and Shizuka Marikawa had yet to engage in negative distance contact with Lin Zhiyu. Yet, none of them would contradict Lin Zhiyu at this point. Even Shiraki Meiko, who showed the most resistance, had more of an "annoyance" in her eyes. Annoyance, annoyance, annoyance, annoyance, annoyance comes first!

Lin Zhiyu has behaved like this, so how could Camilla not understand what Lin Zhiyu meant? She didn't mind acting a bit, but even if she was acting, she couldn't act too exaggerated, right?

So I pretended to be hesitant...

In the end, Lin Zhiyu laughed heartily and told Camilla that it was all a joke. Camilla then feigned shame and anger and called out "Mr. Lin~!"

This matter is over.

The others in the team who knew the truth, such as Bayonetta, Li Meifeng, and Jin Meiting, who loved to watch the fun, secretly found it hilarious. They all thought Lin Zhiyu was so interesting. Before fighting the boss, he had to tease him like this.

Then, in the evening of the day they left the Elf Palace, the group came to a vast plain.

But Lin Zhiyu did not rush to take action.

The group continued on their journey riding on horses provided by the Kingdom of Agrariel. Lin Zhiyu deliberately fell behind the team and pretended to be flirting with the other wives who were also at the back of the team. His attention was actually focused on Camilla who was in the middle of the team.

Just because out of curiosity, Lin Zhiyu wanted to confirm something before taking action against Camilla...

then--

Eight-foot Mirror! Life-seeing effect! Activate!

Through this artifact from the world of "Dark Shegan", Lin Zhiyu successfully peeked into Camilla's past and discovered that this female dark giant had not yet met Tiga until she was pulled into the infinite space!

Just like Sayaka Saeki, they were pulled into infinite space when they were still in a "pure" period!

"Infinite Space, you did a good job, you did a good job!" Lin Zhiyu couldn't help but feel happy.

As for why he is so happy?

Emmmm......

If Camilla can be captured alive in the next battle.

Since it was Camilla who had evil intentions towards him first.

It would be reasonable for him to punish Camilla for his defeat after winning, right?

Chapter 43: The Bet with Camilla

Through the life-seeing effect of the Eight-foot Mirror, Lin Zhiyu also got a glimpse of some of Camilla's experiences after coming to this world.

For example, none of the four teammates she randomly matched with were good people, and they were all men. Seeing that she was pretty, they thought she was easy to bully, so they had bad intentions towards her.

The result can be imagined.

Camilla didn't even need to transform, just using her signature lightning whip in human form to kill four teammates who had plotted against her. However, one of the four was quite capable and took two of Camilla's whips before dying, so Camilla whipped them five times in total.

That's the Lightning Five Whips!

However, what Lin Zhiyu was more concerned about was Camilla's motive for approaching him.

Although Lin Zhiyu had already made a guess before this, it was not necessarily accurate.

By peeping into Camilla's memories, Lin Zhiyu discovered that although Camilla had deliberately approached him, she wasn't hostile from the beginning. After all, the main task of the Infinite Space mission was to survive in this world for 60 days. As long as this task could be completed, everything else would be easy.

Of course, the secondary quest issued by Infinite Space stated that finding and killing Lin Zhiyu, a "special" trialist, would reward her with a grand prize. Camilla was tempted, but she had to find out more about Lin Zhiyu before doing so, right? So, she approached Lin Zhiyu out of curiosity, not murderous intent.

Perhaps, after confirming that Lin Zhiyu is not her opponent, this curiosity will turn into murderous intent. After all, Camilla is not a "Giant of Light" but a "Giant of Darkness"!

But at least her initial motive was not so dark. She was more of a "want to see which handsome guy could be treated so specially by the infinite space" mentality.

Now...

Because we still don’t fully understand Lin Zhiyu’s background.

All I know is that Lin Zhiyu can kill Golzan alone, and he is definitely not an easy opponent.

So Camilla didn't even have the intention to kill Lin Zhiyu, but instead felt a little more wary of him in her heart.

Also, my curiosity about Lin Zhiyu is growing.

If she wasn't worried about a setback, she would even want to transform herself and test Lin Zhiyu herself. After all, her transformed appearance was completely different from her human form. As long as she wasn't discovered during the transformation, she could still stay by Lin Zhiyu's side in her human form after the test was over!

I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to defeat Lin Zhiyu, and that if I failed to test him, I wouldn't even be able to escape after being defeated, and would be captured directly...

Although I am still quite confident in my own abilities.

But Camilla is not a reckless woman.

The matter is of great importance, so she must think carefully and make her moves with caution.

-----------------------

However, just after Ying Zijin used the Yata Mirror's life-seeing effect to peek into Camilla's memory.

"!!!"

Suddenly, Camilla turned her head alertly and stared at Lin Zhiyu with sharp eyes.

Lin Zhiyu had been staring at Camilla. When his eyes met Camilla's, he saw that Camilla's eyes were so sharp that he immediately realized that she was giving him a warning.

"She was able to detect my observations through the Yata Mirror. As expected of a Dark Giant whose power is second only to Tiga..."

Lin Zhiyu was not the only one who noticed that Camilla was not in good condition.

It was because Camilla's eyes were too sharp just now. You know, before that, she had always pretended to be very gentle.

Although they knew from Lin Zhiyu in advance that Camilla was not a good person, they noticed that Camilla's aura suddenly became cold and fierce. The women riding beside Camilla... Bayonetta, Rani, Melina, Busujima Saeko, etc., subconsciously focused their attention on Camilla.

Camilla narrowed her eyes and glanced at the women closest to her. Only then did she realize that the women riding closest to her were exactly the women she felt were the most powerful in the team.

coincidence?

No.

Camilla was sure that she was surrounded!

Although no one has taken action yet, the situation is already on the verge of breaking out.

At this time, Lin Zhiyu, who had been at the back of the team, sped up his horse and came to Camilla's side.

"Miss Camilla's temperament has suddenly changed from her original gentleness to a much more gloomy one. I wonder what Miss Camilla is thinking at this moment?"

"..." Faced with Lin Zhiyu's leisurely question, Camilla did not respond immediately. Instead, she was silent for a while, and then asked Lin Zhiyu irrelevantly, "When did you find out?"

"Does this matter?" Lin Zhiyu looked into Camilla's eyes. After staring at her silently for at least ten seconds, he continued, "How about we make a bet? If my teammates and I can successfully capture Miss Camilla, she will admit defeat and surrender honestly~"

Upon hearing this, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in Camilla's eyes, and there was an invisible sound as if a sword was unsheathed.

She smiled.

Ying Zijin was so angry that he laughed.

"Are you so confident that you can beat me?" She looked at Lin Zhiyu coldly.

Feeling severely slighted.

You know, even if she really couldn't beat Lin Zhiyu's team, but that didn't mean she couldn't run away! Defeating the enemy and capturing the enemy were two different things, and the latter was even more difficult than the former!

"Please don't misunderstand, Miss Camilla. I don't look down on you. What I mean is that you might as well reveal all your cards at once. Let's make a quick decision and get to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible." Lin Zhiyu said lightly while riding on horseback.

Camilla sneered and took out her dark magic wand from her pocket.

"Okay, since you want to die so badly, I'll do as you wish!"

The next second, the woman riding on the horse turned into a ball of light and flew towards the plain ahead. In just a moment, she stood on the vast land in the image of a female giant with curvy figures.

Chapter 44 Welcome to the Forest of Elves~!

"Eh~! So that's Miss Camilla's true appearance?"

A giantess, over fifty meters tall, stood towering over the vast plain. Everyone around Lin Zhiyu was stunned to see Camilla's true form. Noel, who looked like a young girl, exclaimed in astonishment, eager to get to Camilla's feet and touch them—though at just under four feet tall, she could only reach the soles of her feet.

After transforming, Camilla stood gracefully on the ground, one hand hanging down, the other on her waist, and spoke in a resonant voice to Lin Zhiyu, who was as small as an ant in her eyes:

"So, now, Lin Zhiyu, do you still think you can defeat me?"

Lin Zhiyu did not respond to Camilla immediately, but came to Noel and said something to him.

"Oh~ Since it's the savior's request, of course I have no problem!" Noel nodded vigorously at Lin Zhiyu, and then cast a spell to create a portal.

Through this portal, the weaker members of the team, such as Shizuka Marikawa, Meiko Shiraki, Laura and others, all followed Lin Zhiyu's instructions and began to evacuate.

Seeing this, Camilla started to move:

"Hmph! Want to escape?"

She took a step forward and was about to attack Lin Zhiyu and the others.

At this moment, Bayonetta suddenly recited a language that no one present had ever heard before.

A dark aura suddenly enveloped the world.

Camilla stopped and her whole body tensed, as if she felt something.

The next second, a magic circle emitting purple light appeared on the ground in front of Camilla.

A demon with a crown on his head, a body similar to Camilla's, tall and curvy, and with bluish-gray skin, emerged from the ground.

Feeling the dark aura coming from the demon, which was even darker than her own, Camilla could not help but lower her body and prepare to strike.

"Madame Butterfly..."

Looking at the great demon summoned by Bayonetta, Lin Zhiyu suddenly remembered that in the world of Bayonetta, "witches" have the ability to contract demons! And the great demon that Bayonetta had contracted with - Madame Butterfly - is the overlord of hell!

Soon, the entire earth began to shake as Madame Butterfly and Camilla engaged in physical combat.
