Local Man Suddenly Questions Xinxia Protagonists

Meanwhile, on the other side of the humongous mountain range of The Divided Lands...

The two Legion Commanders who had left with their Legion continued surveying the area, flying through at a speed comparable to the fastest modern fighter jet.

Their six thousand troops effortlessly followed along as well, keeping a well-organized formation, always looking out if there were any threats.

At the forefront stood the 10-foot Legion Commander, the one who unsurprisingly got his ass handed to him by the Empress.

The man was still reeling from the shock he had received, continuously racking his data-filled mind at how it was even possible for such a lithe physique to possess that amount of monstrous strength.

Such power...

'The Empress resembles our late Grand Marshal...'

Upon thinking about this, the Legion Commander suddenly clenched his fist.

Their homeland... their maintenance friends who always fixed them up after battle... their Leaders...

All gone, because an 'Invader' decided to connect a bridge to their World, unceremoniously raging war on their planet.

*CRACK*

The deeper the gold-armored war machine thought about it, the fiercer his golden eyes gleamed.

'Curse those damn vermins!'

"Reinhard."

Recognizing that his halted movement had caused the others to stop as well, he turned his attention to his fellow Legion Commander.

Also standing at 10 feet tall (approx. 3 meters), the 2nd in command resembled every single bit of a dope armored knight.

He was draped in robust armor reminiscent of grey adamantine, adorned with delicate accents of blue and gold tracing patterns within the crevices.

His already imposing figure was heightened by massive shoulder and forearm plates, while a knight helmet featuring a blue cross-section occupied the area where its eyes would typically reside.

"..."

Silently gazing at his centuries-long friend, the blue mechanically engineered masterpiece let out a robotic sigh.

"We have been given a second chance to live. I believe our fallen comrades would not wish to witness us dwelling in despondency."

Sympathizing with what the war machine in gold felt, he placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Still, should such a situation arise again...

We shall ensure their extermination, eradicating these pests, these so-called gangrène of the Worlds."

The blue cross-section shone with an eerie blue intensity that would have made the average man piss themselves in fear.

"HOOO!"

The six thousand soldiers behind them howled in unison.

"I know... Lothric."

Accepting that he was right, Reinhard was about to continue forward until his advanced sensory detector sensed something amiss.

"Halt!"

Putting his hand up, he scrutinized the massive area, extending his thermal heat detector to see if there were any lifeforms around.

"Rocks... rocks... rocks... barely any grass... dead trees... no signs?"

*TREMBLE*

The ground suddenly began to quake.

Seeing this, Lothric immediately began giving out orders.

"Soldiers, formation!"

"Yes, commander!"

The six thousand soldiers executed his orders flawlessly, surrounding the source of the tremor in a spread-out formation.

*TREMBLE*

Feeling the intensity escalate, Lothric thrust his hand forward.

"Fire!"

Without hesitation, the soldiers' hands transformed into lethal Plasma Guns, before blasting downward towards the ground.

BOOM!

As it went on, a massive hand suddenly shot out from the rocky terrain, twitching and recoiling from the continuous blasts.

Observing the scene, Reinhard, within less than a millisecond, had swiftly calculated that the entity must be over 20 meters due to its hand size, as such-

FWOOSH!

-he activated the thrusters on his back to shoot upwards into the sky.

At a high enough altitude, the war machine interlocked his metallic arms, seamlessly merging and transforming them into a colossal rail cannon.

"Incinerate."

BOOM!

And for a while, a second sun rose into the sky.

...

{Ding! Host... "( – ⌓ – )}

'Before you-'

{DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!}

"..."

'You done?'

{...Ding! ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა}

Still leaning against the Titanhorn who was peacefully snoring under the shadow of a tree's canopy, Jin yawned in relaxation.

Feeling the warm gentle caress of the sun which shone through the leaves while occasionally feeling a gentle breeze, he couldn't help but want to sleep more.

'Goddamnit... this just feels like a shitty Monday morning on an exam day.'

He shivered the more he thought about it, before slowly getting up.

CRACK!

Bones began popping all over as Jin lazily stretched his limbs.

Blood circulated through every vein, organ, and muscle, invigorating them after a long period of rest.

"Hah..."

After completing his stretching routine, he cast his gaze down on his legs, or more specifically, the remains of his Nike shoes.

'Those ain't shoes anymore...'

Deciding it was time to rip them off, he did just that. Now what only remained on his body was a pair of barely functional black jeans.

Yet, even that had its lower half ripped off while the remaining top looked like cheap knockoff shorts made by starving kids from Cambodia.

Wait...

'That's a rough analogy, mate.'

Shrugging his shoulders, Jin ran his thumb and index finger along his cheekbones and chin, noticing that stubble had started to appear.

And...

Coupled with his unruly hair that had started to grow longer than ever, he quite resembled a Neanderthal.

But, to be fair, he didn't give much of a fuck. He wasn't one to care that much about appearances in the first place.

Which probably explains the lack of women in his life as well.

Running his hand along his dirty hair, he decided it was time to wash himself up.

'It's been how long... exactly, system?'

{Ding! <(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)>

Cooldown: 8D 14H 32M}

'Stop sulking, you goofball.'

{DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!

DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!}

Leaving the Titanhorn behind, Jin strolled towards the nearest body of water while his gaze had deadpanned since long ago.

'Never had a fucking system throw temper tantrums before... everybody be having tantrums nowadays, bruh.'

For real, what's up with the bitch up there?!

...

You know the feeling you get after working out-

Going outside to touch grass-

And then, maybe if you have friends, go outside again to fuck around?

That feeling one would get after a long tiring day by getting into a refreshing bath...

"Ahn-"

Shit gets you moaning for real.

With a chewing straw between his teeth and the gentle current of water guiding his movements, Jin surrendered to the soothing sounds of nature.

Add in the warmth of the sun above, and it was a perfect day to simply be lazy.

Relaxingly bathin' in the rays of sunshine, he let his thoughts go wild, pondering on something that had been nagging at the back of his mind ever since he got his ass yeeted to this god-forsaken world... no pun intended.

'Oh-...bruh.'

[Celestial Harmonization ↓

→Description: The evolved form of Stellar Synergy enables the user to perfectly harmonize with the present celestial energies permeating the cosmos. Once activated, the user faces two choices. They can either utilize this energy to form a Cosmic Seed within themselves that will continuously generate celestial power on its own, or utilize it all in one go to enhance their strikes, by either unleashing a widespread AOE attack that would scorch the very Earth itself or a concentrated killing blow that guarantees complete evisceration. However, upon evolving a Cosmic Seed into a Cosmic Core and mastering the fusion of personal and celestial energies, the user will be able to enter into a state known as Celestial Fusion for a limited duration of time.

...

Life was so good that he legitimately forgot about this skill.

'Uh- do I just... think about it?'

With a bit of uncertainty, he decided to go with his instincts, and just thought about activating this skill-

CLICK!

As if a lock had been shattered, Jin felt like a miniature sun had ignited within him, causing a torrential surge of potent energy that his body greedily sucked with insurmountable momentum.

FWOOSH!

The once serene waters surged with wild intensity, trees began swaying along the winds, and the air crackled with unrestrained chaos.

"Damn!"

Feeling the effects of what this energy caused to his surroundings as well as the chaotic energy running rampant inside his body, he began to control and compress it into several singular points across every part of his body.

'Fuck! What did those Xinxia protagonists do?!'

Nine Revolting Heavens?

Yin Yang Mantra?

Cock-sucking Arts?!

This doesn't even have a Cultivation tag!

...

Yet, despite his efforts to control the energy, it kept pouring in relentlessly, as though a floodgate had been opened.

'Gotta deactivate this skill for now.'

After all, no matter how finely tuned his control over his body was, Jin still needed a bit of extra time to completely adjust or else the surroundings would turn into nothing but rubble.

*CLICK*

Thus, just like before, a lock had been placed inside his body.

The environment gradually regained its usual calm, while the naked man floating on the water let out a sigh of relief.

"My days..."

Is this how Supes felt after being spoon-fed by the sun?

Feeling the huge amount of celestial energy inside his body, aimlessly wandering around to find a way to be discharged, Jin marveled at this moment.

He felt no change in his physical strength.

But if he were to infuse even a single part of his body with this energy...

'Aight, Cosmic Seed it is!'

As such, he decided to form six separate Cosmic Seeds around his body!

{Ding! Huh? Wait, that's not how you're suppo-}

'Nah, let me marinate this shit.'

{Host! ‎(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ ┻━┻}

...
