Inside the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the place was already in ruins.
The surrounding walls were spattered with bloodstains, a clear sign that someone had recently fought here and had been severely injured. After all, these mottled bloodstains covered nearly half the palace.
Suddenly, twelve faint blue vortexes appeared in the hall, and a large number of people poured out from within.
"So this is another world? It's really magical!"
"Oh! Old man! You're here too! It seems you've had the same kind of opportunity as the Traveler!"
"It's a good thing you're in human form, Dvalin, otherwise you would have definitely blown this place apart."
"Shi, is this the interesting place you were talking about? It doesn't look like it."
...
Some of the first-time travelers began to chatter and discuss amongst themselves. Among them, the people Liu Yueyan brought were the most serious, all fully armed and maintaining strict discipline.
At this moment, Liu Yueyan, as the group leader, stepped forward and said to the crowd, "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. We still have things to do!"
Hearing Liu Yueyan speak, the chattering crowd quieted down, and all eyes turned to her.
"Uh~"
Seeing so many people staring at her, Liu Yueyan felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had never spoken in front of so many people before!
However, she wasn't completely struck by stage fright. Liu Yantian had taught her a lot about this.
So, Liu Yueyan braced herself and said, "We've traveled to this world to help it resist the invasion of the strange. Now is not the time for idle talk and fun! The people of this world are waiting for us to save them!"
Hearing Liu Yueyan's words, the curious expressions on everyone's faces faded. Now was indeed not the time to focus on such things.
Zelel and Vignette, on the other hand, showed serious expressions.
Strange beings?
It sounded a lot like creatures from Hell. As an angel, Zelel couldn't stand the sight of these evil existences—Vignette was an exception, of course!
And although Vignette was a demon, she also despised those who killed the innocent indiscriminately. Her conscience wouldn't allow her to stand by and do nothing.
As for Gabriel? Hmm...
Just then, Liu Yueyan had already started assigning tasks.
"Team Finality, you are responsible for evacuating the citizens and protecting them."
"Lumine, Venti, and this... sir? You are to find Ying Zheng's location and prevent him from being in life-threatening danger."
"Ash, um, you should also go help the ordinary people. Pokémon's strength will be useful, but it might not be enough against the strange."
"Little Ai, you, Erina, Fubuki, and Gabriel stick together to look after each other."
"Tatsumaki, you and Men Yashi are responsible for protecting them. It's possible some powerful strange beings might target them."
"As for old Mr. Zhongli, your experience in warfare and command ability are a thousand times richer than mine, so I won't say anything."
"Madara? I don't know what level your strength is at right now?"
Hearing Liu Yueyan's question, Madara Uchiha, with his black spiky hair and red armor, glanced at her and said, "Eighty to ninety percent of my strength. It's enough."
Liu Yueyan nodded. He was another powerhouse.
"In that case, we'll have to leave the high-end combat power to you."
"As for Uncle Wolf and Lin Tian, you guys..."
Liu Yueyan didn't know what task to assign them, because their strength was too off the charts. They had no fear of any harm from the strange beings.
"I'll study this so-called strange dimension. It sounds quite interesting," Wolffy said.
"As for us, let Shinobu and the others return to their original roles. After all, they were originally part of the Demon Slayer Corps. Slaying demons and healing are their duties."
Lin Tian directly helped Liu Yueyan out of her predicament. With their strength, coming to this world was just for fun.
Liu Yueyan nodded. "I know this arrangement might not be to your liking, and although my strength isn't great, please forgive me this once. This is, after all, the ancient era of a country very similar to my own, and I want to save it too!"
Hearing Liu Yueyan's words, several people present smiled.
"Don't worry. Even if it didn't concern us, we wouldn't let mortals be slaughtered at will."
"That's right. The invasion of the strange dimension isn't just about this world anymore. We can't guarantee our worlds won't face this situation in the future, so this is also helping ourselves."
"Don't mind that I'm the Destroyer of Worlds; I'm actually very kind."
"Great Leader of Shocker, are you sure about that?"
"Say that again!"
"Is the Great Leader of Shocker angry? Great Leader of Shocker, was I wrong? Hmm? Great... Leader... of... Shocker?"
"Kamen Ride! Decade!"
"Hey! That's going too far!"
...
After the arrangements were made, everyone dispersed. Lin Tian thoughtfully prepared a diamond sword enchanted with Smite for each person.
He had no shortage of diamonds or enchanted books now.
That's right, the best part about Equivalent Exchange was that even enchanted books could be sold, and they didn't turn into ordinary books after being sold; the effect was still there. However, enchanted weapons and equipment didn't work that way.
Since it was an invasion of the strange, of course, they needed Smite! It could cut through ordinary monsters like vegetables, and it would be even more effective against the undead.
'Blood moon, a strange dimension?' Lin Tian looked at the blood moon in the sky, his thoughts unreadable.
'Logically, why would this world be invaded? There's nothing here worth coveting, is there?'
Lin Tian couldn't figure it out, so he decided not to think about it anymore. Anyway, with his Steve constitution, as long as he made the Sword of the Cosmos in the future, he wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Of course, he still had to worry about being killed before he could even touch his opponent.
But for now, he could mess around as he pleased!
Seeing the sky filled with all sorts of bizarrely shaped strange creatures, Lin Tian first ate an Enchanted Golden Apple, then took out his enchanted Netherite sword, and looked up at the monsters in the sky with eyes full of excitement.
Ever since experiencing the ability of infinite revival, he had become fearless.
Although he was still cautious, his most common tactic now was to trade injuries for injuries. He could revive infinitely, but if his opponent died, they were dead for good.
...
While Lin Tian was on a killing spree, the others had also begun their respective tasks.
Wolffy had somehow already arrived on the moon. However, he didn't find any devices or equipment. Instead, the moon's surface was covered with a layer of red substance, which was why it appeared red.
Wolffy knew what this red substance was with a single glance. It was clearly blood! And not the blood of a single species, but the blood of almost all living creatures mixed together!
The moment Wolffy smelled it, he was so disgusted he threw up, because he smelled the scent of his own kind! Although they weren't from the Green Green Grassland, they were still wolves!
Wolffy flew into a rage. He no longer cared where the strange dimension was; he was going to build a device to find it directly.
Meanwhile, the city could now be described as hell.
Human corpses were everywhere, and ghosts occasionally drifted through the streets. You were bound to see a dead person almost every 20 meters.
But it wasn't like this everywhere. In some places, a few Qin dynasty soldiers were fighting monsters with unremarkable wooden swords. These monsters were disgusting; they could continue to move even after being chopped into a meat paste!
The soldiers were equipped with ordinary wooden swords, so they were only effective against monsters with physical bodies. They had no way to deal with the completely intangible ghosts, so the army was also suffering losses.
Just then, a flowing wind swept up the strange being fighting the soldiers and all the other strange beings in the vicinity. The trapped creatures were enveloped by the wind and couldn't escape.
Suddenly, all the strange beings began to wail, because the gentle breeze that had been enveloping them had suddenly turned into a violent hurricane! Every gust of wind was like a razor blade, continuously slicing through their flesh and blood.
Before the survivors could understand what was happening, a gentle voice reached their ears.
"Do not worry, I will let the winds of a thousand years bless you."
In the next second, a verdant green light appeared on everyone present.
