・∀・) Today’s truth about Zero Island also reaches you.
The staircase waterfall with a vertical drop of 150 ters connected Purple Island and Dahe Island.
This waterfall is renowned as one of the most representative giant dragon landforms in the world because its flow is upwards from below.
The seawater falls around Purple Island, converges into nurous tributaries into Shenzhi River, ascends the waterfall, crosses the first tier to Dahe Island, crosses the second tier toward Qiongge Island, and ultimately falls to the sea at the summit of Ise Divine Peak, completing the cycle.
To this day, scholars have not been able to unravel the chanism behind the formation of the Shenzhi River in Zero Island.
The only certainty is that near the great waterfall exists an extrely severe gravity disturbance phenonon, and any entity that leaves the ground or waterfall will be torn apart by the chaotic gravity streams.
For your physical and ntal health, please do not fly in the vicinity of the waterfall~

Your fortune for today [1d100:50]
“A bit disappointing…
Not too bad, not too good!” The giant dragon worshipper put down his pen.
“Let’s not interfere for now, and let things develop naturally.
We’ll make an additional judgnt after you arrive on Dahe Island.” He chuckled ominously.
That is, if you can actually make it to Dahe Island safely.

A kiloter away, in a certain café, a man in a trench coat circled an area on the map.
“May I ask, master, what is today’s symbol in the Ancient Calendar?” The female host on the television asked with a businesslike smile, deliberately swaying her chest towards the cara to boost ratings.
The third-rate fortune-teller, dressed up like an old shaman, replied with an air of importance: “Today is Void Loss…
in other words, Buddha’s Death Day!” “Oh my, that’s terrible!” the hostess exclaid with feigned horror.
“It’s the most ominous day!”
“Buddha’s Death Day, huh.”
The man in the trench coat repeated in a low voice.
He finished his coffee, left a tip, rolled up the map, and stepped out the door.
·
At the southernmost part of Purple Island, Shenzhi River.
The Collective Wish Ritual was sothing from two days ago, and the “certain matter” inford by the Sea Strange God was to occur tomorrow afternoon.
Gongsun Ce decided to check the truth of it, and he had to break through the blockade to reach Dahe Island today.
With the existence of the gravity chaos zone, there were only a handful of safe air routes to Dahe Island, all tightly controlled by the Martial Arts Association.
Plane crashes were inevitable, and among the three, only Gongsun Ce had the ability to fight in mid-air.
This left them with only one path to Dahe Island.
“To go up the waterfall along the first tier…” Rina heaved a sigh, “That’s a frontal assault, then.”
The speedboat “Fast” was a vessel purchased by the trio in the morning.
This white speedboat could accommodate ten people at once, and the cabin was equipped with practical surfing boards developed by Practical Manufacturing Society.
Now, the three were discussing their action plan.
“Just how terrifying is the gravity chaos zone?” The Superpower User pushed up his glasses, “If I strengthen my body with telekinesis…”
The little witch produced a white piece of paper in her hand, wrote the character for “bird” on the True Word Charm, and supplented it with another charm for “protection.” The talisman enhanced with the concept of protection could easily block a barrage of machine-gun fire.
The two pieces of paper automatically folded into a paper crane, fluttering its wings and soaring into the air.
One ter, two ters…
The paper crane flew higher and higher.
Three ters…
five ters…
Suddenly the paper crane stopped, as if torn apart by several pincers at once, and then shattered into a myriad of paper scraps!
“That’s still not even under the waterfall.
Little Ce, do you want to try it yourself?”
Gongsun Ce shook his head repeatedly.
Shiyu Ling said with a smile, “Give it a try!
Let’s see whose flesh is harder, yours or the bird’s!”
“Don’t use such a misleading expression.” The young man with grey hair took out Sli, stuffing a large amount of snacks into the green jelly’s “mouth.” “Rina, I’m counting on you to strengthen the talismans.”
“I had it all prepared before~” Rina handed over a few talismans, munching on candy and asked, “What are you doing right now, Little Ce?”
The Sli grew visibly larger.
Shiyu Ling looked disgusted, “You’re not planning to use this as combat power, are you?”
The functionality-lacking Sli had practically no effect on the front lines: The creature was too soft and fragile, its devouring ability seed formidable but only worked if the opponent let it eat, which is why the doctor said it’s a cleaning product.
The Superpower User poked the surface of the Sli, casually saying, “It can still be of so use, right?” He took out his phone to ask, “Qiluo, what’s the situation?”
The girl with pink hair made a crying face.
“There’s a signal jamming device ahead, I can’t provide assistance during the battle.”
Well, I didn’t expect you to be much help during the fight anyway.
It looks like that ti when they hacked into Shiyu Zhongyi’s phone made them more cautious.
This ti they might really be serious.
Gongsun Ce adjusted his glasses, “Qiluo, please temporarily disable Miss Shiyu’s collar lock for , and restore it after one hour.”
“Are you serious?!”
“Yes, I’m serious.”
“If the Ninja Army Leader of Sakura Dance’s level were coming, we wouldn’t have the energy to worry about distance.” Shiyu Ling’s collar flashed, and as she repeatedly flicked it, she said, “I’ll start running right now to show you.”
“If you really wanted to leave, you wouldn’t be saying that,” the Superpower User said expressionlessly.
“I’ve pretty much figured out your temperant, you contrarian.”
“Hmph, self-righteous brat.”
Rina stared at the collar, murmuring to herself, “Is this what people from the big cities are like?
They really go all out…”
–
Fifteen minutes later, the Fast approached the base of the giant waterfall.
The white spray, under the influence of twisting gravity, soared towards the sky at an angle nearly perpendicular to the ground!
It seed as if the world had turned upside down, with what should be up and what should be down being distorted by the giant dragon’s power even to this day.
The three of them stood at the bow, their expressions grave.
No one spoke; the calls of birds and insects were absent in the gravitational turbulence zone, where winged creatures could not survive.
The Fast moved forward along the current, the sound of rushing water roaring in their ears.
They were about to make contact with the lower layer of the waterfall…
Finally, the bow of the Fast touched the counter-flowing waterfall.
Assisted with precise Telekinesis, the speedboat floated up to adjust its angle using the least amount of distance, with a significant portion of its hull entering the waterfall zone!
The jumbled gravity and the original gravity tugged at their bodies from different angles.
Dizziness and a sensation of weightlessness struck in an instant.
Gongsun Ce, his head spinning, increased his output power, and the Fast flew up at a risky half a ter altitude, fully entering the waterfall.
The world seed to flip over—the waterfall had beco a raging river, and they advanced toward the sky along its flow.
What appeared at this particularly relaxing mont was…the sound of high-speed spinning cross-shaped iron pieces skimming the surface of the water, shurikens!
The upper layer of the waterfall burst into spray as two ninjas erged on surfboards, launching a forthright ambush!
“Eeya!” “Eeya!” Shurikens shot towards two people’s heads from the left and right, but were blocked by Telekinesis in a flash.
After releasing the shurikens, without even confirming the results, both ninjas put their hands together in salutation.
“domo, it’s nice to et you!
My na is Suicide.” The ninja in black and white attire spoke heartily.
“domo, it’s nice to et you.
I am the Controller.” The ninja in tea-colored attire spoke softly.
The gray-haired young man at the bow raised his right hand, his movent a bit stiff.
Perhaps due to the noise of the water, his voice also seed ethereal, “domo, to all the ninjas, I’m Gongsun Ce.
Could I ask you to clear the way here?”
As he spoke, the Fast accelerated, and the distance between the ninjas and the boat rapidly decreased.
“That we cannot do!
…Controller=san.” Suicide responded with vigor, then in a very soft voice, he gave a reminder.
Why haven’t we taken action, Controller=san?
Could it be that it’s your first ti and you’re scared?!
The Controller was extrely nervous, neurotically checking the details.
His hand-raising action was slow.
Sothing about his voice was off.
Only one of the three was speaking, and they all stood so close together…it wasn’t right.
Situation assessnt!
Scrap the original plan!
“Karate!” The Controller gave up casting the talisman.
He revved the surfboard’s engine to maximum, charging towards the speedboat as he threw the shuriken.
Please, Suicide=san, don’t use the Impermanence Skill at a ti like this…!
“——Understood!
Eeya!” The ninja in black and white outfit, without a second thought, accepted his companion’s judgnt.
He drew his dual guns with a speed that could rival a gunslinger from the combined western states, firing Blast rounds from his Magnum·Karate at point-blank!
To avoid the effects of gravity turbulence, he let his wrists dangle as if preparing for suicide and fired his gun at an extrely low angle.
The actual life-threatening red bullets flew towards the two n— but exploded in mid-air before hitting them.
It was a telekinetic barrier!
“Yee-ha!” The two ninjas, who had boarded the speedboat, executed flying karate kicks at the sa ti, only to be bound by telekinetic force.
However, the experienced suicider had a backup plan: a tid explosive set to launch.
Two more red bullets shot out from the barrel; the blast from such a close range would heavily injure the ninjas themselves, but he still did it!
“Going all out right from the start?” The Superpower User’s voice sounded sowhat resigned.
The explosive was intercepted by telekinesis again, but the blast’s impact faithfully occurred.
Although the telekinesis lessened the explosive damage, the blast wave was like a heavy punch to everyone.
The suicider didn’t even grunt, the controller let out a sound, and the two at the bow…
after being hit by the blast, their faces turned green!
Namo San, what on earth is happening!?
“Bloop, bloop~” In the utterly shocked eyes of the ninjas, the “thing” that had been human just a second ago, transford at a high speed into a smooth, jelly-like substance.
“Bloop, bloop~” A large mouth opened up on the creature, swallowing the upper bodies of the two ninjas!
Through the transparent skin, one could see the terrified eyes of the ninjas!
“Aieeeeee!!” The controller scread in agony, feeling his skin lt away, and could no longer endure, “What is this, what the heck is this?!!!”
“The special product of the Capital of the Heavens, Biochemical Sli.”
The voice of the Superpower User rang out as three more people erged from the cabin.
So that’s how it was.
The controller’s face filled with fright, no wonder the voice sounded strange, and the movents were sluggish; he had used this thing as a decoy!
·
“Told you your trick was aningless.”
“Can’t stand it.
I was planning to use the Sli for a surprise attack trap or sothing, I didn’t expect the ninjas this ti to be so reckless…” Gongsun Ce erged from the cabin, shaking his head in frustration.
After all, breaking through the barrier of Dahe Island was no small feat, Qiluo had even warned that there would be no help from signal blockers ahead, anyone would think the enemy would set a heavy ambush.
But they went for a suicidal attack from the get-go, using modern weapons no less.
Rina took out her nunchaku, smiling as she stood behind the two unfortunate ninjas.
“I’ll just have you knocked out for a while…” The witch was about to attack when she suddenly shouted, “Little Ce, evade!”
No need for words, the Superpower User also sensed the terrifying aura of danger hurtling from directly ahead!!
Without hesitation, he abandoned the two ninjas within reach, using telekinesis to pull his companions back and slide out of the boat with their surfboards!
“Yee-ha——!” As the shout echoed, the Fast was split in half from the middle.
The formidable force even montarily split the waterfall, just like the legend recorded in the ancient texts of Zero Island, of a ninja who parted the sea with a staff!
The sli at the bow that was devouring the ninjas was unsurprisingly torn apart as well.
The slash cut right through the middle of the two ninjas, allowing them to escape by the skin of their teeth, impressive skills!
Was it the effect of the enemy’s Impermanence Skill?
No, the Superpower User keenly noticed that this was not any supernatural power…
What instantly split the speedboat was a giant shuriken connected by a chain!
