Summoning Xiang Yu

There is an easy-to-understand rank in this universe.

1. Counter Force [If you meet with their agent run for your life]

2. The Gods [Most of them are the extensions of the Counter Force, can explode magician ass]

3. Heroic/Divine Spirit [They are higher existence, can kick Magician Ass]

4. Servants [Watered down version of Heroic/Divine Spirit, still can kick Magician Ass…]

5. Magician [They have reality-warping knowledge can beat the higher ranks as long their power have the advantage and open minded]

…

…

…

Last. Normal Human

This list doesn't include, Phantasmal Species, Outer Gods, Alien Gods, Aristotle(Planet Incarnation/Ultimate One), and many more

With this, you can understand why Shinji is scared shitless, even though he is one of the strongest Humans that currently living, he is still can be considered cannon fodder against the stronger being.

Even though this world didn't follow the cultivation world logic where you can't harm the higher rank, the difference in power is still massive because if Shinji is a max leveled character, the Counter Force is a raid boss…

Shinji maybe an immortal thanks to his soul but against Counter Force he was just a punching bag, it was a fate worse than death…

Just imagine it…each time Shinji creates a new body it will explode, as long Shinji walks on earth Gaia can sense him, as long Shinji was Human Alaya can sense him.

'I need to make Hinako come back to her sense!'

'It seems my rejection to revive her husband really shock her, making her an easy possession target by Gaia, afterall I already visiting The Root several times and the Counter Force ignores me. It seems Gaia treat my rejection of Hinako request as an act of aggression '

'Damn stupid will of the planet, just wait when I stronger than you I will mess with your surface'

'Hinako' stares at Shinji location, giving Shinji a chill in his spine 'wtf! I should be invisible as a soul!'

'Hinako' raise her hand and make a grabbing motion, with that the earth below Shinji soul explode and a giant hand made of earth appear attempting to catch Shinji floating soul

'Don't underestimate me!' Shinji use The Third to control the hand…only to meet with a strong resistance

'Damnit! The earth resisting my control! It feels like wrestlin-'

Another hand made of earth smash Shinji from above, Shinji soul smashed into a hole, with Shinji inside of it, the hole closed off.

'Are you kidding me?' Shinji trapped inside the earth, his soul can't move even an inch 'Because it can't kill me Gaia attempting to seal me?!'

'But this is work in my favor!' Shinji grinned 'with this, I can access The Root without distraction!'

"[Connection to The Root!]"

[Q: How can I run from the Counter Force?]

[A: You need to run into another universe, as long Hinako possessed by Gaia there is no safe place for you on this universe earth]

[Q: How can I make Hinako back to her sense?]

[A: Revive her husband]

"I need to revive her husband? Is this her scheme so I will be forced to revive her husband?"

[A: No, Hinako mind just really empty thanks to your rejection of her request, it allows Gaia to take over her body easily. Usually, its not easy an easy feat for Gaia to take over the body of its sentient elemental]

[Q: Can her husband summoned as a servant? And will it be enough to bring her back to her sense?]

[A: Yes and Yes]

[Q: Can I access the Throne of Heroes from here? I don't think I want to learn The Second just to summon a servant... ]

[A: No, but if you look behind you there will be a door, that was the Throne of Heroes]

"WTF!? How can there be a door in this white void?! I pretty sure there nothing here when I visited last time!"

[A: That door is always here from the start behind the door is the Throne of Heroes, you can only see it when you need it, to use it just grab the door handle and ask for the hero you needed. Don't open it, just grab it. If you open it the red shadow will hunt you]

"Is there any other door aside from this?"

[A: Yes but you didn't need it right now]

With that Shinji grabs the handle of the door and feels a connection to it, information from various Hero surges into his mind, at least it not as overwhelming as when he reaches The Root for the first time.

Finally, Shinji managed to find Hinako husband, with a grin Shinji announce Hinako husband name,

"Xiang Yu!"

Returning to reality Shinji soul still trapped in the earth.

'!!!' Shinji can feel his soul pressured by overwhelming forces

'This heavy pressure! If I am not the Master of The Third my soul will be crushed to piece!'

Shinji takes a deep breath'…wait can soul takes a deep breath? Something to find out later…' and start to make a new body…after that Shinji explode it, freeing his soul from the earth confinement

Only to find 'Hinako' eyes piercing him

'!!!'

Shinji starts to control the wind around the area use it to explode Hinako body by forcing it to her lung

'ART IS EXPLOSION!'

Hinako body explode into gore, and with a flash, it starts to reforming at incredible speed

'Right! As an elemental Hinako limit of immortality is her energy, right now she is possessed by Gaia! A literal source of almost unlimited energy, that means currently she literally can't die as long the earth still exist!'

'I am literally fighting against the planet!'

'To summon Xiang Yu as a servant, I need a connection to the throne, the mana to sustain him, and a ritual circle. I already have everything except the circle! But to draw the circle I need to focus!'

'Something that almost impossible because 'Hinako' will hinder me ' Shinji can feel his control to wind already taken forcibly by Gaia…Shinji eyes widened 'The f*ck, is that tornadoes? But we are literally in the middle of the civilian area!'

'STOP!' will all his might Shinji dispersed the tornadoes only for it start to reform 'I need to summon Xiang Yu quickly!'

With that Shinji try to explode Hinako using the wind but the wind still controlled by Gaia 'If the wind didn't work…then water!'

Ice Pressure Explosion!…Hinako body start to reform

'Water won't work? Then how about Fire?'

Blazing Explosion!…Hinako body start to reform

'Fire won't work? Then I try another!'

'Explode! Explode! EXPLODE!

While Hinako exploding and reform repeatedly, Shinji multitasks and starts to draw a summoning circle, the material needed? Use The Third to overwrite common dirt to make it!

It was a miracle Shinji able to complete it quickly…

'Do I need a chant? I forgot about it the chant!…Bah, let us just ignore it! As a magician at my level, the chant was unimportant!'

"Oi Xiang Yu, your wife possessed by Gaia! If you are a man come here and save her now!" Shinji shouts while powering the circle 'will it work?'

The circle starts to glow…

"It works!" Shinji gaped and Xiang Yu figure appears in front of him. It was a handsome Chinese man that looks like a general from some chinese war drama

"I am Berserker, my family name is Xiang. The name is Ji. The name of courtesy is Yu. Are you my master? " Xiang Yu stare at Shinji "and I hear my wife is possessed by Gaia?"

"It is a long story…"

Omake: Another Solution

Hinako start to reform her destroyed body

Shinji decides to stop bombarding her body with nature element that he can control.

"Hinako you are buck naked!" Shinji shouted while grinning

Hinako widened her eyes in realization and managed to break free from Gaia control by pure embarrassment!

'This beautiful view...I must commit it in my memories'

That was the last thing that Shinji thought before killed again
