When the Gurongi Monster's body, resembling a mushroom, turned to ashes in the explosion.
The battle was completely over.
Zzzt.
Brilliant white light flashed, and Su Yun reverted his transformation, returning to his human form.
At this moment.
The sun was shining brightly, and a gentle breeze caressed Su Yun's hair.
Following that.
Su Yun saw Ichijo Kaoru standing on the high ground of the grassy slope, watching him.
Without any hesitation.
Su Yun flashed a brilliant smile, giving Ichijo Kaoru the classic thumbs-up gesture.
Just then.
The camera zoomed in, giving Ichijo Kaoru a close-up shot.
Ichijo Kaoru's eyes were glistening with tears, he took a deep breath and spoke with a tsundere tone.
"Su Yun! You're late this time!!"
Hearing this, Su Yun was taken aback.
Then.
Ichijo Kaoru turned and walked away.
And to the surprise of everyone watching.
Ichijo Kaoru, with his back to Su Yun, raised his right hand and, for the first time, gave a thumbs-up.
In a place Su Yun couldn't see.
Ichijo Kaoru's usually stern and handsome face broke into a radiant smile.
His eyes still held tears.
But this time, the tears in Ichijo Kaoru's eyes were tears of joy.
Sometimes.
Some things, people only realize their value after they've lost them.
At this moment.
The image on the screen froze.
Su Yun and Ichijo Kaoru were walking side by side, both with radiant smiles on their faces.
When this scene appeared clearly.
BOOM!!
The audience from the three worlds could no longer contain themselves and instantly erupted in excitement.
[Extraordinary Chat Group]
[Kiana**: Aaaah! I'm shipping it! I'm shipping it! Su Yun and Ichijo Kaoru's chemistry is off the charts!!
[Fischl**: As the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, I have penetrated all truths of the world. The only truth is that Ichijo Kaoru is a tsundere!
[Paimon**: Ding ding ding! Detective Paimon's time! As everyone knows, Ichijo Kaoru is the past life of Neuvillette. If Ichijo Kaoru is a tsundere, doesn't that mean, the Hydro Dragon of Fontaine is also a tsundere?!
[Hu Tao**: Phew! Scared me there. I thought Su Yun was really gone. I thought I, the Director of the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor, would be sending a black-haired person off for a red-haired person!
[Raiden Mei**: I noticed that Su Yun's final Rider Kick contained golden lightning. The power of this lightning is very strong!
[Xianzhou Fu Xuan**: I don't know why, but when my Eye of Wisdom saw those ancient characters, 'When the sacred spring dries up, the fierce warrior will appear like thunder,' I always get a bad feeling. However, this might just be my intuition!
[Klee**: Big brother Su Yun, you must keep going and defeat those nasty Gurongi Monsters!
It wasn't just the Extraordinary Chat Group.
The audiences from the Teyvat Continent, the Honkai Impact 3rd World, and the Honkai: Star Rail World were all stirred by the memory fragment they had just witnessed.
At that moment.
On the big screen displaying Su Yun's past life, a new memory fragment appeared.
And this time, the memory revealed something shocking.
It completely exposed the bizarre, sometimes illogical, rules of the Gurongi Monster's killing game!
In that instant.
The lively barrage of comments vanished instantly.
Members of the Extraordinary Chat Group also fell silent.
Every single viewer from the three worlds held their breath, staring at the screen, afraid to miss a single detail.
On the screen, scene after scene flashed rapidly.
It turned out that…
Several months prior…
When the archaeological team from Chengnan University entered the ultra-ancient ruins and lifted the seal on the Gurongi Monsters…
The first monster to revive was the most powerful of the Gurongi race.
This monster was named "Unknown Lifeform Zero" by the police.
This brutal Unknown Lifeform Zero first killed the entire archaeological team.
And then.
Unknown Lifeform Zero first revived a Gurongi Monster named Rose Woman, who was second in rank only to it.
Why revive Rose Woman first?
Because Rose Woman was the organizer and supervisor of the "Gegeru Game."
In other words.
This monster named Rose Woman was the referee of the Gegeru Game.
At this moment.
The screen displayed a woman in red, her face strikingly beautiful.
This woman was the Rose Woman.
When the scene reached this point,
viewers from the three worlds couldn't help but gasp.
No one had expected the Rose Woman to be so young and beautiful.
And also!!
All the viewers knew it now too.
The Gurongi Monster's killing game was actually called the Gegeru Game.
The images on the screen continued to play.
After Unknown Lifeform Zero revived the Rose Woman,
Zero waved a large hand. Surging lightning flashed, and all the Gurongi Monsters were revived.
From then on,
the brutal Gegeru Game officially began.
This was a killing game that was both extremely harsh and supremely arrogant.
The Gurongi Monsters treated the entire human world as their hunting ground, with every human being a target.
Upon seeing this, viewers from the three worlds were horrified.
But the scenes that followed made them realize they'd been shocked too soon!
The screen then displayed a detailed explanation of the Gegeru Game's rules.
The Gurongi Monsters felt that simply hunting humans was too easy.
There wasn't anything stimulating about it either!
And those monsters that casually slaughtered humans were despised by all the Gurongi Monsters.
Because of this.
In this Gegeru Game.
These Gurongi Monsters actually chose to put a death lock on themselves.
Every Gurongi Monster participating in the Gegeru Game had a steel belt around their waist.
And the different colors of the belts also represented the different levels of the Gurongi Monsters.
The monsters with bronze belts had the lowest strength, like the spider Gurongi Monster that Su Yun had blown up first!!
Above the bronze belt was a dark silver one.
The Gurongi Monsters with dark silver belts were the elite of their kind!
Above the dark silver, was a jet-black belt.
The Gurongi Monsters with jet-black belts were the elite among the elite.
And above the jet-black belt, was a dark golden belt.
Up until now.
Only one Gurongi Monster had a dark golden belt.
This monster was Unknown Lifeform Zero, also known as the King of the Gurongi!
The cruel aspect of the Gegeru Game lies in this:
Before a killing game begins, the referee of the Gegeru Game, the beautiful Rose Woman, will use a ring with emerald green spikes to pierce the belts of the participating Gurongi Monsters, and then twist it.
This means the bomb within that Gurongi Monster's belt has been successfully activated.
The participating Gurongi Monsters must kill humans in a specific manner within a limited time.
Only then can they be considered to have completed the Gegeru Game.
Only in this way.
A Gurongi Monster with a low-level steel belt, meaning a low-ranking group, can upgrade to a higher-ranking group of monsters.
And obtain a new steel belt.
Then participate in a more difficult Gegeru Game.
If a monster reaches the final of the Gegeru Game and achieves victory,
this monster will get the chance to challenge Unknown Lifeform Zero.
If they win!!
This Gurongi Monster will become the new King of the Gurongi, starting a new round of the Gegeru Game.
This is it.
The truth behind the Gurongi Monster race's killing game!!
Why had many of the previous monsters, even after defeating Kuuga, not killed Su Yun, instead allowing him to repeatedly escape death?
It wasn't because these Gurongi Monsters were unintelligent and didn't know how to finish him off!!
It was because...
Su Yun wasn't the target of the Gurongi Monsters' hunt.
If they continued to entangle themselves with Su Yun, it would seriously waste their time in completing the Gegeru Game!!
You see...
Just like them, they failed to complete the game within the allotted time.
There was no need for the Kamen Rider Kuuga to intervene.
The bombs within the steel belts around their waists would detonate instantly.
They would be utterly annihilated!!
This was the Gegeru Game.
A game with cruel rules, so harsh it was appalling.
The Gurongi Monsters weren't just ruthless towards humans; they were also incredibly ruthless to themselves!!
At this moment.
In the screen revealing the past, the memories of the Gegeru Game's rules from the previous life were completely played.
At this moment.
Whether it was the Teyvat Continent, the Honkai Impact 3rd World, or the Honkai: Star Rail World.
Silence had completely descended.
A deathly silence was spreading.
Stunned!!
Dumbfounded!!
This was the true depiction of countless viewers.
The Gurongi Monsters only kill according to fixed rules?!
Any monster that fails to complete the game will die??
As these thoughts appeared in the minds of all the viewers.
One second!
Two seconds!!
BOOM!!
The audience of the three worlds erupted.
