The impact of Marisa Kirisame's food-giving ritual far exceeded what happened in the Magic Forest. Many related people and things were intertwined at this moment, forming a network that could affect the entire Gensokyo world.
Underworld, White Jade Tower.
As one of the two most common organizations for undead players in this world, the White Jade Tower has a very close relationship with Hell. And the owner of the White Jade Tower, Yuyuko Saigyouji, who is known as the "Undead of Huaxu", naturally and naturally
He often does things that a force in the underworld should do.
For example, to prevent something that goes against the principles of life and death from happening...
However, Baiyu Tower is very peaceful today. The owner of the building is drinking tea and chatting with a group of guests who have come from afar, accompanied by the court master and patrol envoy Soul Youmeng.
"Which song is this from?" In a pavilion not far from the living room, a ghost player looked at the seemingly harmonious scene there and couldn't help but asked in confusion, "Hell has sent a request.
We sent our military force to stop the food-giving ceremony that is going on in the Magic Forest. How come we, the host, still have time to drink tea and have snacks with others? There must be a limit to foodies!"
"What else can we do if we don't drink tea and eat snacks?" A player next to him who was much more mature and steady than him chuckled and asked, "Do we have a good relationship with Hell? Is it worth going to the Scarlet Devil Mansion to help them?"
"What do you mean? Aren't those at the Scarlet Devil Mansion here just for fun?"
"Fuck!" After hearing this, everyone around them was stunned. A female player couldn't help but scream, "Do you have any brains? Those people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion are here to suppress us and prevent us from sending troops!"
"Ah?" The inexperienced player was stunned. He looked at the harmony in the living room above and at the companions around him who were sharpening their knives in preparation for battle. He really couldn't figure it out, so he had to be patient.
I have the nerve to ask everyone what happened.
"The thing is actually very simple: Marisa Kirisame has a good relationship with everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion. She is now undergoing a ritual of giving up food. If she succeeds, she can become an immortal magician. But if she fails, there will be only death. How can everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion watch her helplessly?
How about fighting alone?" A player who wore glasses and could tell that he was very talkative smiled and explained to him, "If others don't tell you, Patchouli, the librarian of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and Flandre, the second lady, are all good friends with her.
As close as sisters and even as close friends as lily, do you think it is possible for those two people to just stay there and wait?"
"Then why don't they help?"
"The ritual of giving up food can only be carried out with the help of a magician, and only one magician is needed to help. Because the ritual takes a long time, the seven-ray sage Patchouli, who has weak endurance, can naturally only give this task to someone with stronger physical strength.
Puppet Messenger Alice, they are both Marisa’s best friends anyway, so no matter who is doing this, they will do their best.”
"I see...Then they came to our White Jade Tower to prevent Yuyuko or Youmu from disrupting the ceremony, right?"
"That's right! But to be honest, if Miss Yuyuko is really determined to cause trouble, the people from the Scarlet Devil Mansion alone may not be able to stop her..."
"But that will lead to a fight." A player next to him said, "I'm not sure whether the building owner can win, but I can bet you with my head that if they fight, the Baiyu Tower will definitely turn into ruins!"
"It's impossible to start a fight." Another player interjected, "Have you forgotten the expression on our guard captain's face when he heard the news? Even though we are theoretically on the same side as Hell, if we really need to move
Knives, Youmu’s double swords of the White House will most likely cut down those hell assassins who are causing trouble - she has a good relationship with Marisa too!"
"That black and white bird is so popular..." someone muttered angrily, "The pigs have lost all the good cabbage..."
"If you are not satisfied, you can go over and cause trouble yourself. Anyway, the messenger from hell is at the stairs below. As long as you pass its test, you can accept the task at any time to hinder the food-giving ceremony." The one wearing glasses from before.
The player pushed up his glasses and smiled evilly, "But I have to remind you that the master of the magic tower is blocking the way out. If you think you can defeat the interstellar terrorist who blew up the stars, just
Just go ahead!”
The deeply unhappy player looked at the peaceful living room, then looked at the terrifying scene in the distance near the entrance of the White Jade Tower, where sword energy overflowed and magic power surged, and finally shook his head.
"I'm not an idiot! Why bother with our landlord and the guard captain for a mere leisure time... And seeing how fierce the fighting was over there, going there now would be like giving up to death..."
"Yeah...if you don't have eight-star strength, don't get involved in this matter!"
"That's right, let the Japanese swordsman test the waters by himself..."
"Speaking of which, I'm very curious. Who can win between the 'Sword that Cuts All Things' and the 'Lord of the Chaos Tower'?"
"Yeah, I'm curious too!"
When this topic comes up, everyone can't help but turn their heads to look at the exit from the White Jade Tower to the human world, and they are talking about it while looking at the battlefield where a fierce battle is taking place.
"As expected of the 'Sword that cuts everything'! Unexpectedly, even monsters that are immune to physical attacks can't stop your sword!" In the battlefield obscured by the storm and sword light, Xiao Muran was sincerely admiring, "Dongliu
Ah, I haven’t seen you for a while, your strength has really improved by leaps and bounds!”
"Nothing, just being honest with the sword." Wearing a Japanese Taoist robe and holding a golden wooden sword, Dongliu Xingchen stood calmly in the torrent of magic that was comparable to a tornado. The strong wind blew his clothes and hair flying, but
He couldn't be shaken at all, "Actually, I'm more surprised than you. A magician can actually fight on par with a swordsman like me at this distance. You are really a freak!"
Behind the two people, the powerful sources of power have revealed their respective postures. Behind Xiao Muran is a gray-blue sea of light. In the "sea water", countless resentful ghosts can be seen wandering, making sharp noises from time to time.
Howling; behind the stars in the east is a fiery red, and among the blazing flames, a big bird with golden body and gorgeous feathers can be clearly seen flying.
This is the source of power that they each built, Xiao Moran's "Sea of Resentment" and Dongliu Xingchen's "Golden Winged Bird King".
These two people are both well-known masters in Gensokyo. They have fought against each other and cooperated with each other, but since they were promoted to seven stars, they have been busy with their own affairs and have never seen each other again. Now they have both been promoted to eight stars.
The stars have built their own sources of power, and they are also somewhat curious about each other...
Of course, it's just curiosity. If it weren't for their hostile stances this time, they wouldn't have fought just out of mere curiosity.
...well, maybe...
Players in Gensokyo belong to different organizations, and each organization can often be connected to one or a group of NPCs. This is a unique feature of this world - here, almost every NPC has one or several NPCs behind it.
Player organizations, some are strong and some are weak, but they all have a common characteristic - they are all cohesive, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as "all united as one".
Because of this, once two NPCs fight, it will often evolve into a war between organizations that are closely related to them; and if it is not two NPCs that fight, but two forces, the scale of the war will be huge.
It could be quite large.
This time, Kirisame Marisa's eating ceremony is of great importance, involving more than twenty NPCs and several forces - mainly Marisa, who is nicknamed the "King of the Harem of Gensokyo", has a wide circle of friends and
There are many enemies.
If, as usual, the forces behind these NPCs are allowed to enter the battle without hindrance... it may evolve into a huge war that can involve the entire Gensokyo, and its scale will even be larger than the original battle between Reimu and Remilia.
The scuffle that followed was even bigger!
Of course, the Adventure Operations Bureau would not let this happen. How could the world of Gensokyo, which was always known for its harmony and love, turn into a world of raging war? So they made restrictions in time - except for those who directly belonged to Marisa Kirisame.
In addition to the player organization, players from other organizations can only receive relevant tasks if they pass the test set by the NPC who issues the tasks, and only what they do can have an impact on the development of the plot.
It is said that the difficulty of the test is not fixed, but so far it seems that only eight-star players can pass these tests, and the rest, even the top seven-star players, have been eliminated numerous times.
Through this method, the scale of the war was greatly reduced, from a situation where fighting was possible everywhere to a situation where the masters started fighting everywhere and the rest watched.
Dongliu Xingchen is a member of the "Monster Hunter" organization affiliated to Baiyulou, and is the strongest master among several organizations affiliated to Baiyulou. This time Baiyulou received a commission from the upper levels of the underworld, even though the two leaders were killed by the Scarlet Devil Mansion.
The crowd prevented them from moving out, so at least one or two people had to be sent to show their willingness, so he received the task of the Baiyu Tower's court master and guard captain Soul Youmeng to fight on behalf of the Baiyu Tower.
However, he was unable to go to fight with Cheng Peng who was guarding outside Wuyu Magic Shop as originally planned, because Xiao Moran had already blocked the entrance to Baiyu Tower.
Xiao Muran is the leader of the "Chaos Magic Tower", an organization affiliated with the Scarlet Devil Mansion, and is also a disciple of Patchouli, the Seventh Luminous Sage. He also owes a huge debt to the puppet messenger Alice, and he must work hard for them regardless of emotion or reason.
.So he set out alone and blocked the entrance of Baiyu Tower, not allowing anyone who planned to cause trouble to pass!
Dongliu Xingchen didn't intend to give too much effort to Hell, but when he saw Xiao Moran blocking the door, he got excited and started fighting with Xiao Moran without saying a word - coincidentally, Xiao Moran's thoughts also coincided with his.
almost!
So this fierce battle started where the White Jade Tower leads to the human world, and the fight was fierce.
At about this time, similar battles were still unfolding in many places in Gensokyo...
"You guys just live underground! Don't let me climb up!" A big man made of flames waved his fist, burning a large area of the ground into a mirror as smooth as glass, "Look up at the sky, just look up at the sky!
Don’t cause trouble to others!”
This flame giant's name is Aeolia, a Greek who belongs to the "Kourindo Takeout Department". Morichika Rinosuke, the owner of Xianglindo, is almost Marisa's adoptive father. As his subordinate, Aeolia naturally wants to
He spared no effort to work hard for his boss - so he went directly to the tunnel leading from the Earth Spirit Palace under Hell to the human world, and stopped a ghost player with big horns on his forehead, wearing tiger skin clothes and carrying a big axe.
.
This ghost player is called Kurogiri. He is a very rare Japanese whose surname and first name only have one character. He is also an avid Oriental chef - but he is a firm fatalist and has always believed that Marisa should die to be perfect...
...Obviously, there is an irreconcilable conflict between Kurogiri and Aeolia!
The red flames on the flame giant's body reflected the sky red, and the strong wind stirred by the evil ghost's ax caused the ground to crack. The two fought fiercely at the junction of the Earth Spirit Temple and the human world, which was originally a traffic artery.
There are many similar situations. As the food-giving ceremony gradually enters the most critical moment, the forces of support and opposition have also surfaced. For a time, almost all the eight-star masters in Gensokyo were involved in this fight. Only they
In the wars he participated in, even many eight-star masters who were active in other worlds rushed back.
Someone on the forum is already counting the battles in various places, and has decided on the nature of this war as "the first war in the history of the adventure that is entirely composed of top experts."
...But no one on the forum knows that the part that has the greatest impact on the entire incident is unfolding quietly...
"Cheng Peng has completely attracted the opponent's attention. The messengers sent by the underworld are now targeting him as a priority, and he has persisted until now." A young man with white hair and glasses said to the man sitting across the table.
The man who also wore glasses and had a similar temperament to himself, but was holding a beer can instead of a tea cup said, "He did a very good job, even beyond my imagination!"
The man looked at the owner of Xianglin Hall, smiled, and did not answer.
"You have been thinking about it for so long, it's time for you to give me an answer!"
"What answer do you want?" the man asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"You should ask yourself this question!" Morichika Linnosuke couldn't help complaining, "Please don't just say 'I'm very satisfied with the development of this world' and just give up! Even if you are very unmotivated now, you can drink it every day
It’s okay to take some time to design something after the beer!”
"That's not good. The world should develop on its own path. If I interfere randomly, don't you think it's too much?"
"What's going on now! It would be too much for you to just watch and ignore it!" Linnosuke was so anxious that he couldn't care less about etiquette. "Are you planning to watch Marisa die?"
"Isn't this the ritual of giving up food..."
"Even with adequate preparations, the food-giving ceremony has less than a 30% chance of success, not to mention that this time it was forced on the horse in a hurry... the possibility of success is extremely slim! If Cheng Peng hadn't been resisting the assassins of the underworld, he would have been
If I hadn't been using the seven-star lantern to extend her life, the ceremony would have failed long ago!"
"This is also fate..."
"You shouldn't have said this! Isn't it up to you to decide our fate!" Linnosuke was about to get furious. "You designed me to be here, and you designed Marisa to be raised by me, just to make me watch.
Do you want her to die before me? Could it be that you have lived a comfortable life for too long and have even forgotten your original intention? "
The unknown man was silent, and after a while he sighed: "You are right... I have indeed forgotten many important things. Since the world of Datong, I have become a lot more lazy..."
A smile appeared on his face, and he took out a thin book.
"It's a pity that the setting has not been completed yet. I wonder if the Adventure Operation Bureau will give me this face..." As he spoke, he flicked his fingers, and the book, which had not even been painted on the cover, turned into a stream of light.
flew out.
The waiting time is always very long. I don’t know how long it took, but another stream of light flew in from outside, landed in the room and turned into a girl in a suit and uniform.
"Hello, my name is gm040. The Adventure Operations Bureau has just received your new book manuscript. Is this your planned plot development?" She asked the man who was playing with the beer can seriously.
The man nodded: "I plan to launch it by the end of the year."
"Understood, we will respect your settings first." gm040 nodded in greeting, then turned into a streamer and flew away again.
"That's enough." The man, who was very calm in front of NPCs and GMs, opened the beer can, "Her ceremony will be successful."
“Can’t thank you enough!”
"If you want to be grateful, let's be grateful to those who have made the ceremony not fail until now." The man smiled and raised the beer can, "If it weren't for their efforts, even I wouldn't be able to change the fait accompli.
"
"So, let's take Marisa's place and give a toast to those who have been fighting so far!"

Liu Xueji's death is a given. Well, it was decided a long time ago when designing the ending of this line...
