207: Chapter 207 Game
"Is it over, Fang Xun?"
In the back, Lu Li, who had been obediently holding her head, asked as the noise gradually faded and she heard Fang Xun's voice relax slightly.
"No, don't move."
"Who are you?" Lu Li asked in confusion. "Where's Fang Xun?"
Listening to the voice, Lu Li noted it was a delicate girl's voice, but the tone was remarkably similar to Fang Xun's.
"Don't worry about it, just don't move yet."
Exasperated, Fang Xun stomped down a few more times.
Unfortunately, this style of fighting didn't seem to cause any substantial damage to Firefly.
Fang Xun let go, and the pink flower-bud longbow dissipated in his hand, while the formal dress he was wearing gradually dissolved.
The long pink hair that extended infinitely into the Void Realm also turned into bits of starlight.
Fang Xun was back.
"Ha! You still want to keep going!?"
Fang Xun stretched his limbs, feeling as if his whole person had been stuffed into a small bottle earlier; he felt much more comfortable now.
As he spoke, Fang Xun gave a few more vicious stomps.
"Alright, you can get up now. It's pretty much over."
After the stomping, Fang Xun called out to Lu Li.
Lu Li obediently lowered her hands from her head and looked up at Fang Xun.
It felt like a lot had happened, yet it looked as if nothing had happened at all.
However...
"Fang Xun, you look like a total pervert right now."
Lu Li knew that the young girl before them was an enemy of this world.
But the girl's character model was simply too endearing.
Furthermore, Fang Xun currently had his foot planted on her head while her body lay sprawled there, looking incredibly frail.
If Lu Li hadn't seen with her own eyes that Fang Xun's earth-shattering Five Saint Sure-Kill strike was snuffed out by a single finger from this girl, she really would have wanted to pull Fang Xun away first.
"Shoo, shoo, come over here," Fang Xun said while waving Lu Li over.
"Am I shooing, or coming over?" Lu Li blinked.
"...Come over."
Lu Li obediently walked over and watched as Fang Xun slowly released his foot.
Once Fang Xun let go, the girl slowly raised her head, shaking the dust and gravel from her hair.
"Brother, you won."
Even after being kicked like that, Firefly wasn't angry.
In her world, such things were completely harmless, and compared to the survival of her world, they weren't even worth mentioning.
"I lost, Brother."
"Oh? You're quite calm about it," Fang Xun glanced at her.
He hadn't thought of a way to kill this girl yet.
"Then, I am Brother's spoils of war," Firefly tilted her head and smiled at Fang Xun.
Of course, Firefly knew that just this wouldn't satisfy Fang Xun.
She was this world; if she was Fang Xun's spoils of war, then this entire world would be at his disposal.
The simplest manifestation was...
"Look, Brother."
Firefly opened her arms, and Fang Xun looked around at her signal.
The earth rifted, and the land overturned.
Another world revealed itself before Fang Xun.
It was a massive amusement park.
And in the very center of this city, a magnificent structure was built that Fang Xun couldn't even find the words to describe.
"Fang Xun, that's the design plan Lian Lian showed me before."
Lu Li tugged on Fang Xun's arm, pointing at a Chinese-style manor within the park.
"That's mine!"
Fang Xun: "?"
Fang Xun looked at this suddenly transformed world, completely stunned.
Wait, you were already prepared to surrender, weren't you?
This thing definitely wasn't just conjured up right now.
"Brother," Firefly looked at Fang Xun seriously, "I told you, that was my final struggle. From now on, this world belongs to you, Brother."
As Firefly's voice fell, she actually began to slowly dissipate.
Once the ownership of this world was decided, she no longer needed to exist.
"Wait a second."
Fang Xun grabbed her.
Under Firefly's startled gaze, her gradually transparent body solidified once again.
"Brother, you want to keep me? Then Brother won't be able to completely control this world."
Firefly reminded him.
In fact, even without Firefly's reminder, Fang Xun had already sensed a power that was slowly flowing into him being pulled away again.
Just now, he truly could have controlled this world.
"I have no interest in controlling the world, and no experience either."
Fang Xun waved his hand and said, "Open up Shannan City. Those mimicked Disaster Beasts of yours are not allowed to actively harm people."
"Brother clearly didn't need to tell me that," Firefly blinked.
"I'm too lazy to deal with the hassle. You should know what I want. If you don't listen, I'll just beat you up again."
If Fang Xun could beat her once, he could beat her twice.
"Thank you, Brother," Firefly nodded very seriously to Fang Xun, and then said:
"Brother, but if you don't 'eat' me, the road ahead will be very difficult to walk."
"What do you mean?"
Fang Xun was puzzled.
"They have already seen. Brother, you aren't truly invincible. Even I could tear a hole in this world, embed myself into it, and linger on. Look."
Firefly pointed to the sky. The barrier had dispersed, and at the horizon, countless stars were densely packed, like a massive net wrapping around the planet.
They were restless and ready to move.
"They are wary of you, Brother. But they have already started making moves."
Under Fang Xun's gaze, countless invisible rays of light projected down from beyond the heavens.
The destinations of those projections were the Brood Mothers scattered across the ground.
And with those Brood Mothers as centers, they began to spread out.
"What are they trying to do?"
"Disaster Beasts are no longer useful, Brother," Firefly prompted. "They are no longer a match for you. Moreover, under your protection, Dongcheng City is a perfect demonstration."
"All Disaster Beasts know that their outcome is either death or merging into Dongcheng City's command."
"Therefore, to make the will of this world perish, they are already changing their methods."
"Those are methods you cannot stop."
"Or rather, methods that won't make you fly into a rage and smash everything to pieces."
"Exploiting loopholes?" Fang Xun actually thought of this term.
"Yes, exploiting loopholes," Firefly nodded and said:
"You are still too weak, Brother; you still have to rely on those 'fakes'. You can't use your own power at all."
"Oh," Fang Xun replied indifferently.
But what Firefly said was not wrong at all.
He knew he was strong now, but he didn't know *how* he was strong.
He could only find ways to guide his power out. It looked strong, but it was a helpless approach.
"What are they trying to do?"
"To let fear spread, to let people know that you, this Great Senior, can no longer protect them."
"To let despair flood this land."
"How are they going to do it?"
At this, Firefly chuckled and said:
"Brother, since you didn't 'eat' me, I can let you use a back door and join in."
"Let's play a game."
"Brother."
