Gris continued to speak with a confident tone, "In the previous battle, Xiaomei came to save you!"
Battle Rabbit muttered under his breath, "Oh… you mean her?"
But then, with a casual glance, he added, "She's not Xiaomei."
Gris was stunned, eyes wide in disbelief. "Not Xiaomei? What do you mean?"
"She just looks like her. It happens often. People always mistake her for Xiaomei," Battle Rabbit said lightly, as if it were a minor detail.
Gris's face changed dramatically. His anticipation and excitement deflated instantly, and he groaned, "Seriously?! That's so misleading! I was really getting excited here!"
Then, turning to the others around him, he rallied them: "Alright everyone! Say it with me—Xiaomei! Xiaomei! Xiaomei!"
After a few rounds of shouting, Gris sighed in satisfaction. "Ah… that's better. Much more refreshing after yelling it out!"
Meanwhile, in the Super Chat Group, the viewers were already buzzing with reactions.
March Seven laughed: "Haha, these people are ridiculous!"
Kiana added: "They're so obsessed with Xiaomei, it's actually hilarious."
Himeko joined in, "Honestly, they're acting like a bunch of fools."
Yae Miko simply nodded: "Agreed. Completely ridiculous, but definitely funny!"
Back on the screen, Gris suddenly shouted, "Burn the Heartfire and purge the enemy!"
With that, he launched himself into a fierce battle against Zhantu and his allies. The fight was heated and intense.
However, before the situation could escalate further, Xueqian appeared and stepped in.
"Stop!" he shouted, halting the combat. He quickly took control and separated the clashing parties, guiding them back to Beidu without further resistance.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Wanzhang's condition was deteriorating. The side effects of using the driver were beginning to show—his movements erratic, his mind slowly slipping away.
Observing him carefully, Xueqian turned to Zhantu and said grimly, "Just as I feared. He's lost control."
Zhantu's expression darkened. "How can we stop him?"
Xueqian pulled out a strange-looking object and handed it to Zhantu. "This is the forbidden device created by Katsuragi—it's called the Dangerous Trigger."
Zhantu stared at the device in his hand. "A forbidden device...?"
Xueqian nodded. "Insert this into the Soki Driver. It will give you power far beyond anything you currently possess. More importantly, it can suppress the out-of-control Wanzhang."
But Zhantu's eyes narrowed. "If it's forbidden, there must be a heavy price."
"You're right," Xueqian replied seriously. "The cost is steep. Continued use may cause you to lose yourself. That's what happened to the Three Crows. Their strength comes from the very same trigger."
Zhantu clenched the device in his hand. "Then why give it to me?"
With a faint smile, Xueqian said, "That's exactly why I let you live. Only you have the strength—and the heart—to stop Wanzhang Longwo."
Still wary, Zhantu asked, "What does this have to do with your purpose?"
Xueqian shrugged slightly and turned away. "I'll explain everything later. For now—goodbye."
The spectators across the Three Realms were just as confused as Zhantu. Murmurs spread like wildfire.
"Why would Xueqian help Zhantu?"
"What's his endgame?"
"Is this a trick, or does he really care?"
Their minds raced with possibilities, none of which made sense yet.
The video resumed.
Wanzhang had already gone to Beidu and launched into a brutal fight. Zhantu, realizing the urgency, rushed to the scene.
When he arrived, Wanzhang was already engaged in fierce combat against the Three Crows of Beidu. With no time to waste, Zhantu took out the Dangerous Trigger.
"Danger Start!"
"Rabbit, KO!"
"Super Best Match!"
"Are you ready?!"
"Transform!"
"Out of Control Switch—Dark Danger! Super Dangerous!"
As the transformation completed, a stunning new form appeared on the screen.
The audience gasped.
"Wow! Zhantu's transformation looks incredible!"
"So intense—this feels legendary!"
"Even the background music hits differently. This must be insanely powerful!"
The Three Slammers didn't hesitate and charged at Zhantu. He responded with overwhelming force.
One powerful punch sent a slammer flying backward.
Another came from the side—Zhantu knocked him out with a spinning kick!
He stood firm, eyes locked on Wanzhang. "I won't let you destroy Beidu."
Wanzhang yelled back, "I have to end this war! Don't get in my way!"
"Wake up!" Zhantu pleaded.
But then, he recalled Katsuragi Takumi's warning:
> "If the battle lasts too long, the brain can't handle the stimulation. The user loses all sense—and becomes a mindless destroyer."
In the middle of the chaos, the battlefield dimmed. A darkness crept in.
Suddenly, Zhanmian looked up—his eyes no longer calm.
Wanzhang's expression changed immediately. He saw the shift.
Zhantu had entered an unstable state—fueled by rage, power, and the dangerous trigger.
"Extreme Danger Start!" he roared, charging straight toward Wanzhang.
His strikes were relentless, wild, and overwhelming. Wanzhang could barely defend himself.
Blow after blow landed, forcing him to the ground and revealing his true form beneath the armor.
The audience across the Three Realms was shaken.
"What's happening?!"
"Battle Rabbit… he's losing control!"
"He's turning evil!"
"But… he looks so cool doing it!"
"He's terrifying—and amazing!"
Battle Rabbit, now in his new, corrupted form, unleashed a devastating purple-black attack.
Two of the Three Crows were knocked out of their suits, sprawling helplessly across the battlefield.
Then, Battle Rabbit grabbed Qingyu by the head.
Qingyu's face twisted in panic. "Let go!" he shouted.
But Battle Rabbit showed no mercy.
"Extreme Danger Start!"
"Ready!"
"E!"
"Overflow Mode!"
"Super Danger!"
Purple-black energy engulfed him.
Gris arrived just in time to witness the chaos.
His face went pale. "No! This is bad!"
He rushed forward.
Suddenly, a green electric current surged through Qingyu's body. "The danger is over!"
BOOM!
A massive explosion erupted. Flames reached into the sky. Qingyu's body collapsed, unmoving.
The entire Three Realms watched in utter disbelief.
Zhantu—Battle Rabbit—stood in the center, surrounded by the wreckage he caused.
This power… it was far greater than anything he had ever shown before.
But something was clearly wrong. Zhantu's movements were stiff. His expression was blank.
He wasn't himself.
The side effects of the forbidden device were beginning to take hold.
Viewers across the realms felt a chill.
"Is he turning into a machine of destruction?"
"Will we lose Zhantu forever?"
"I hope he can come back from this..."
Suddenly, Gris launched an attack at Zhantu.
The two clashed violently, each blow shaking the ground beneath them.
Gris quickly pulled Qingyu's body from the rubble and held him.
But just moments later, Qingyu's body vanished—disappearing completely.
Zhantu froze.
He stared at the empty space where Qingyu had been.
Confusion washed over his face.
Why…?
Why had he done that?
