In the ninja world, on Tanzaku Street.
After hearing Victor's reminder, Tsunade abandoned her plan to accept the red envelope immediately.
She stood up from the gambling table, left the casino, and walked outside.
Seeing this unexpected development, Shizune couldn't help but feel surprised.
Has the sun risen from the west today?
Lady Tsunade had entered the casino and left without spending a single cent!
In the past, whenever Lady Tsunade entered a gambling establishment, she would lose all her money before departing.
What was different about today?
She had been feeling that Lady Tsunade had been acting strangely from the very beginning.
"Lady Tsunade! Please wait for me!"
Seeing that Tsunade was about to disappear from sight, Shizune finally snapped out of her thoughts and hurried to catch up.
A few minutes later, Tsunade and Shizune arrived at a deserted location.
They were now two or three miles away from Tanzaku Street.
Even if a fierce battle erupted here, it wouldn't affect the town.
With this consideration in mind, Tsunade once again turned her attention to the chat group interface.
"Shizune, please step back."
"Ah? Oh, of course."
Although she didn't understand what was happening with Lady Tsunade, Shizune obediently retreated a hundred meters away while holding Tonton, her pink pig companion, in her arms.
Then Tsunade accepted the red envelope.
[Ding! Tsunade receives the red envelope!]
As the notification sound in her mind faded, a ray of light materialized before her eyes.
When the light dissipated, a strange figure came into view.
This creature wore black armor with blade-like appendages resembling nothingness itself. Purple flames swirled above its head, making it obvious at first glance that this was no human being!
It was a Voidranger: Reaver!
This was the name of the entity before them.
So this is the Antimatter Legion?
With just one glance, Tsunade could sense that the aura emanating from the Voidranger was no weaker than that of an elite Chunin.
At that moment, the Voidranger: Reaver attacked Tsunade without any warning.
Its wrist blades sliced effortlessly through the air, stabbing straight toward Tsunade's chest.
The speed was incredible, faster than lightning!
Fortunately, Tsunade had been well prepared.
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
BOOM, !
With one devastating kick, the Voidranger: Reaver was smashed into pieces.
Even the hard ground was cratered into a massive hole dozens of meters in diameter.
"Lady Tsunade! Are you alright?"
"Also, what kind of creature was that just now?"
Shizune ran over with a serious expression.
That thing had appeared out of nowhere right in front of Lady Tsunade!
Was it some form of space-time ninjutsu?
Fortunately, Lady Tsunade seemed to have anticipated the opponent's appearance and reacted in time. Otherwise, an enemy who had mastered space-time techniques would be extremely difficult to handle!
"I'm fine."
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively and looked down at the Voidranger: Reaver that had been shattered into pieces at her feet. "There's no need to worry. That thing... is gone for good now."
Shizune also crouched down to examine the remains of the Voidranger closely.
"Lady Tsunade, what exactly was it?"
"It's a long story. I seem to have joined an incredible chat group..."
Tsunade didn't conceal anything and explained the chat group situation to her most trusted disciple.
When Shizune heard this explanation, she was thoroughly shocked.
A chat group connecting multiple worlds?
Such a magical thing actually exists!
Just as Tsunade was introducing the chat group to her apprentice, in the world of Date A Live, Tokisaki Kurumi also received her red envelope.
However, what she faced wasn't a Voidranger: Reaver, but rather a Voidranger: Distorter!
Compared to the Voidranger: Reaver, the Voidranger: Distorter possessed greater strength.
However, for Tokisaki Kurumi, who had mastered the power of time, it was still nothing more than small fry.
In the end, the Voidranger: Distorter became nourishment for Tokisaki Kurumi, adding considerable time value to her reserves without cost.
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Is this the Antimatter Legion? They're really quite delicious.]
[Stelle: Delicious? The Antimatter Legion can actually be eaten? I'll have to try that next time!]
[Stelle: So, were you steaming or braising just now?]
[Victor: What the hell! That's not what she meant by delicious.]
[Lumine: So now do you believe in the authenticity of the chat group?]
[Tsunade: I believe it.]
She had no choice but to believe it, there was truly nothing like this in the ninja world.
The same was true for Tokisaki Kurumi.
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Miss Stelle, do you have any more Antimatter Legion forces? Could you give me a few more?]
Tokisaki Kurumi felt somewhat unsatisfied.
These Antimatter Legion creatures could provide her with substantial time value.
If there were a few more, she might be able to complete her ultimate plan.
[Stelle: No more. I specifically requested these two from the Xianzhou prison.]
Reality wasn't a game.
In the game, even after the Stellaron crisis of the Xianzhou was resolved, large numbers of monsters still populated certain specific maps.
But in reality, once the Stellaron crisis was resolved, most of the monsters roaming throughout the Luofu Xianzhou had been eliminated.
A small number had been imprisoned.
The only fate awaiting them was death or being used as experimental subjects.
[Victor: Tokisaki Kurumi, I advise you not to always think about absorbing time value from the Antimatter Legion. If you absorb too much, you might kill yourself. The power of Destruction is no joke.]
As subordinates of Nanook, the Aeon of Destruction, those Antimatter Legion forces were filled with enormous destructive power.
This destructive force would also enter Tokisaki Kurumi's body as she absorbed their essence.
After hearing this warning, Tokisaki Kurumi carefully examined her physical condition.
She discovered that there was indeed a special power within her body.
This force was very weak, but it was filled with violent energy.
Such a small amount didn't matter, but if it accumulated excessively, she feared it might turn her into a madwoman, or even kill her!
It seemed that what Victor said was true.
She could no longer extract time value from the Antimatter Legion.
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Thank you for the reminder.]
[Belle: I don't know why you want to absorb time from the Antimatter Legion, but I'm guessing it's for revenge, right?]
[Belle: I suggest you upload your abilities to exchange for points, then purchase the Return to Origin Art cultivation technique from the chat group mall. That method can make you stronger quickly!]
[Tokisaki Kurumi: Is that so? Thank you.]
Tokisaki Kurumi opened the chat group mall and located the Return to Origin Art.
What followed contained not only a brief introduction to the Return to Origin Art, but also an explanation of what the immortal cultivation system entailed.
If what was written here was true, then this would undoubtedly be the key to helping her complete her revenge!
Thinking of this, Tokisaki Kurumi immediately began uploading her abilities.
[Ding! Tokisaki Kurumi uploaded Zafkiel and obtained 100,000 group points!]
[Ding! Tokisaki Kurumi uploaded Astral Dress and obtained 30,000 group points!]
[Ding! Tokisaki Kurumi uploaded...]
At the same time, Tsunade wasn't to be outdone.
[Ding! Tsunade uploaded Chakra Refinement Technique and obtained 500 group points!]
[Ding! Tsunade uploaded Strength of a Hundred Technique and obtained 15,000 group points!]
[Ding! Tsunade uploaded...]
[...]
For several moments, the chat group was dominated by system notifications.
The uploading spree lasted for several minutes before finally coming to an end.
