ILLIMITABLE UNTIL DEATH

I am translating a new novel (Multiverse Conquest Starting from Dragon Ball). Read it and support me.

"RiriIrokane..."

Fang Li's brow finally furrowed.

At this moment, Fang Li recalled something.

Back during the I-U incident, Sherlock had mentioned something like this:

"The Hihi'irokane possesses consciousness, and its intelligence may even surpass that of humans."

This had already been confirmed.

The proof is when Fang Li, attempting to prevent Sherlock from embedding the Hidan into Aria's heart, tries to kill the Hidan using his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. However, during the attempt, the Hidan reacted and used its superhuman abilities to accelerate itself, autonomously entering Aria's body.

From that moment, Fang Li realized.

The Hidan, or more specifically, the Hihi'irokane, had its own consciousness.

Just like Fang Li's Bo Xie, which is an Ogre Lux.

And since the Hihi'irokane had a consciousness, there was no reason why the Riri Irokane, another kind of Irokane, wouldn't also have its own awareness.

"Could it be..."

An idea flashed in Fang Li's mind, and he blurted it out.

"The 'Wind' that Reki keeps mentioning— is it the Riri Irokane?"

This guess was immediately confirmed by Shirayuki.

"I think so."

Shirayuki looked at Fang Li and spoke.

"The Irokane have consciousness, so for those who are tasked with guarding them, it wouldn't be surprising if communicating with them is seen as necessary."

"That's why I believe Reki was chosen by the Ulus tribe to serve as a Miko for the Riri Irokane, capable of communicating with it."

With that, the mystery was solved.

The "Wind" that Reki spoke of referred to the Riri Irokane.

By communicating with the Riri Irokane, Reki gained an extraordinary sensory ability, allowing her to predict events to a certain extent, similar to Shirayuki's divination.

And the command to stop Fang Li and Aria's relationship from progressing came from the Riri Irokane.

Reki was merely following the orders of the Riri Irokane.

The marriage proposal was just a side effect.

"But why would the Riri Irokane want to do such a thing?"

Fang Li asked the final question on his mind.

"Does it have something to do with the Hihi'irokane inside Aria?"

To this, Shirayuki gave a positive response.

"Most likely, yes," Shirayuki said. "It seems the relationship between the Hihi'irokane and the Riri Irokane is not very good. In the past, due to issues surrounding the Hihi'irokane, the Riri Irokane has taken action, like scattering particles over a large area to disrupt the effects of super abilities. Many super-ability users almost lost their powers because of that."

"So, could this time be because the Riri Irokane doesn't like the Hihi'irokane, and that's why it made Reki interfere with my relationship with Aria?" Fang Li asked with a frown. "Is it really just that simple?"

"…It's probably not just that." Shirayuki fell silent for a moment before quietly saying, "I think, as Reki said, the reason the Riri Irokane is doing this is because Aria is currently in great danger."

"Danger?" Fang Li pressed. "Why?"

"Well…" Shirayuki looked troubled and apologized to Fang Li, "I'm sorry, Li-kun, but I can't tell you that just yet. We're still investigating, and right now, we only have some theories. Once we have concrete answers, I'll tell you. Is that okay?"

As she said this, Shirayuki's expression turned anxious, as though she was afraid Fang Li might be angry with her.

In response, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, don't look like it's the end of the world. I won't blame you for it."

Fang Li flicked Shirayuki's forehead, and she cried out in pain while he spoke calmly.

"I'm not that fixated on knowing the reason."

"After all, if anything really happens to Aria because of the Hihi'irokane, I'll step in and handle it when the time comes, and that'll be the end of it."

As Fang Li spoke, his eyes shimmered with a faint ice-blue light.

"It's just a matter of finishing what I didn't completely do back in I-U."

"If things get out of hand, I'll just kill the Hidan."

"And that will be the end of it."

After all, this kind of thing was what Fang Li excelled at.

...

After that, Fang Li and Shirayuki returned to the dormitory.

After refusing Shirayuki's offer to help him cook, wash clothes, clean, and do all sorts of housework (yes, she actually asked), Fang Li returned to his room alone.

It's worth mentioning that Fang Li's room had been restored to its original state.

All the damage caused by the "epic battle" between Aria and Shirayuki the previous night had been completely erased.

For example, the slash marks on the floor, walls, and ceiling.

And the ruins of broken furniture.

All of it had been cleaned up, and the furniture had been replaced with new items.

Shirayuki accomplished this miracle in just half an hour after waking up that morning.

For this Yamato Nadeshiko, omnipotent in household chores, restoring a half-destroyed room to its original state in half an hour was nothing short of impressive.

Fang Li had only ever seen such housekeeping skills in someone like Rem.

So, Fang Li could only be in awe.

On a side note, a certain pink-haired tsundere with twin ponytails watched the whole process from beginning to end, even going so far as to boss Shirayuki around as if it were completely natural.

It seemed that for a noble Ojou-sama like Aria, doing housework wasn't even an option.

Of course, this led to another near-fight between Aria and Shirayuki in the morning, which only stopped after Fang Li delivered a swift, fierce head-knock to both of them. Even after leaving the room, the two continued to glare at each other, looking like bitter enemies.

"In a way, these two girls actually get along pretty well."

With that thought, Fang Li sat down on the sofa, opened the new laptop placed on the glass table, and prepared to check the Butei website for any updates of interest.

However, as soon as he opened the computer, Fang Li received an email.

"An anonymous email?"

Raising an eyebrow, Fang Li opened the email.

In the next second, the email's contents appeared before him.

It read:

"————To the esteemed Gun Magician————"

"————At midnight tonight, please come to the southern tip of the open space island————"

"————There, we will welcome your esteemed presence and present you with the greatest surprise for dismantling I-U————"

There was no signature and no address.

It was just a simple email with these words.

Moreover, as soon as Fang Li opened it, the email automatically destroyed itself, leaving no trace behind.

Just from that alone, it was clear this wasn't a prank.

"A surprise, huh?"

Fang Li smiled slightly.

"Interesting."
