Although her attributes differ from Luo Tianyi's, strictly speaking, the Commander must also be the 'broken' type... Have you ever seen a normal person decisively throw away the underwear they were wearing? This requires immense courage, profound lack of morals, the lowest possible limit, and an utter disregard for oneself and those around them?!

All right, Lin Luo had to admit that the Commander's fresh underwear was considered a priceless treasure by some—like her rabid fans and certain fetishists—but the Treasure Basin...

Just as Lin Luo thought this, he immediately saw the Treasure Basin glow brilliantly after swallowing the spring-day underwear, releasing even stronger power that momentarily suppressed the projection of the Mirror of Truth.

Holy crap! Treasure Basin, where is your integrity?!

Lin Luo collapsed again. What in the hell was this thing? He had tossed so many treasures, and it hadn't even flickered or served the people, but one pair of the Commander's underwear made it so excited. What a scam!

Lin Luo was finally certain: this Treasure Basin was definitely not a good thing; it was most likely another shameless, unscrupulous wretch, just like him!

Although he desperately wanted to smash this wretch on the ground, stomp on it a few times, and then toss it down the sewer to meet the mermaid down there, he currently needed this wretch to save his life. Thus, Lin Luo could only suppress that impulse and continue feeding it.

When Chun Ri saw that the effect of her underwear being eaten was no less potent than that of Hatsune’s Light Orbs or similar items being consumed, her expression became even more ecstatic. She immediately took off her bra and tossed it forcefully toward the Treasure Basin, staring with excitement and anticipation as if watching something utterly fascinating.

Hey, Commander, stop messing around... Lin Luo truly felt speechless.

What made him even more speechless was that the Treasure Basin, which had been pushed back by the projection of the Mirror of Truth, decisively sprang back to life after devouring Chun Ri's bra, launching a fierce counterattack once more.

Treasure Basin, that's enough!

Being manipulated like this by those two jokers right in front of him, Lin Luo almost forgot how dangerous their current situation was. The desire to complain inside him erupted wildly, but when he realized he had nothing left in his storage space to discard, that urge gradually cooled. His gaze instinctively shifted toward Hatsune.

While Chun Ri’s bra and underwear held considerable power, these items were finite, as no one wears more than one bra and one pair of underwear at a time. Therefore, the one who truly provided the most powerful sustenance to hold back the Mirror of Truth's projection was none other than Hatsune, the self-proclaimed collector of planar treasures.

Having traversed countless worlds, wandering between the past and the future, Hatsune had not only left her songs in every world she visited but also tucked away the famous treasures of those realms into her pockets—items like the Philosopher's Stone, Light Orbs, and the Seven Luminaries Stones, even the Ancient Ark. Each possessed earth-shattering power... If everything inside her fourth-dimensional pocket were dumped out, even a Heaven-tier expert would likely be stunned; she was more Doraemon than Doraemon himself.

At this moment, to combat the Mirror of Truth's projection, she had already fed most of her treasures to the Treasure Basin. It was precisely because of her painful sacrifice that the three of them remained safe until now.

So, when Lin Luo saw her movements slow down as she tearfully retrieved treasures from her fourth-dimensional pocket, he found himself unable to urge her to hurry up.

After all, this kind of thing was genuinely agonizing; it was like spending years, painstakingly collecting hundreds of hard drives filled with adult ACG, only to have someone force you to smash those hard drives, one by one. Can you imagine the sheer human tragedy?

Others might not know, but Lin Luo knew that if he were that person, he would fight them to the bitter end!

Therefore, Lin Luo completely understood Hatsune’s current feelings.

So, when he saw Hatsune, despite weeping and moving slower and slower, still pulling treasures from her pocket to throw at the Treasure Basin, he didn't hurry her. Instead, he watched her with the gaze one reserves for a saint sacrificing herself to save the world—a look filled with reverence and awe.

"Stop looking at me like that! If you keep looking at me like that... I..." Upon noticing Lin Luo's sympathetic gaze, Hatsune wept even harder, almost unable to speak. Then, perhaps driven to the extreme by heartache, leading to anger and mental breakdown, she suddenly yanked the fourth-dimensional pocket off her body, rapidly pulling out treasures to toss into the Treasure Basin, shouting wildly as she did so:

"Promise me you'll live well!"

"I know, after this war ends, you'll go back home and get married."

"Your daughter's photo is adorable!"

"I know you’ve been very happy lately!"

"I'll leave this to you, let's hurry up? I understand!"

"Are you not even afraid of Asura today?"

"Then, please, come back safely!"

"You are already invincible!"

"..." Lin Luo stared at her dumbfounded. A string of death flags were pouring from her mouth, but not in the usual way. What was this? Anti-death flags, or were they casting death flags on the treasures she was giving away?

Lin Luo didn't know, but he knew that anything swallowed by the Treasure Basin was converted into energy and could never be restored. In other words... if those treasures had life, they were forging a wall of blood and tears to protect them with their very lives. And Hatsune, weeping and laughing as she handed out their 'bento boxes,' was clearly broken!

"Go to hell, all of you! Hahahahaha!!!" Finally, amidst those near-mad, collapsing laughs, Hatsune violently flung her entire fourth-dimensional pocket toward the Treasure Basin.

Consuming such a massive quantity of treasures at once sent the Treasure Basin into overdrive. Its light shone as brilliantly as the sun, blinding even Lin Luo, who could barely keep his eyes open. Then, an incomparably terrifying power erupted from the basin, launching itself entirely toward the Mirror of Truth's projection.

After all, it was merely a projection, not the (main body), so its power was limited. Furthermore, the further the Mirror of Truth's projection was from its main body, the weaker the power it could exert. Under this push and pull, the projection gradually began to falter and tremble violently.

Then, just as the two forces reached a stalemate, the shockwaves from their clash spread in all directions, instantly grinding space, time, and even the small worlds existing within the dimensional rift into dust. As this shockwave intensified its spread, even the three of them—Lin Luo—were caught in the backlash.

"Not good, the power is running wild!"

Seeing the danger, Lin Luo’s expression changed drastically, and he instinctively tried to use instant transmission to accelerate, but Hatsune and Chun Ri shared the same thought. However, they were a step too slow. Just as Lin Luo spoke, the Mirror of Truth's projection and the Treasure Basin completely went berserk... With a loud boom, the next moment, all three were swallowed by the explosion.

...

While Lin Luo's trio battled the Mirror of Truth's projection, Yao Yao's trio engaged in a fierce battle with Luo Tianyi. The self-law of defying fate granted Yao Yao a physical destructive power far more terrifying than the Immutable Body of the Heavenly Dao. With a mere hand, she shattered the universe; with a single foot, she broke the heavens. Every action was apocalyptic; even the black airflow that broke through the boundary of the '○ Ring Principle' could not harm her body as her domineering world-ending might ruthlessly struck Luo Tianyi.

What were space, time, or the cosmos here? They were meaningless.

A single strike pulverized!

Hong Ling commanded the Three Thousand Heavenly Daos, each one the supreme principle of the world. She embodied the laws of the Three Thousand Daos, making words into law and intention into principle. Her movements followed her will, and every utterance and action carried world-destroying might. Under her command, the Three Thousand Heavenly Dao laws condensed into countless small worlds, which were then compressed to the size of a fist and shot toward Luo Tianyi like shrapnel.

Sometimes, even the explosion and demise of a small world could affect the survival of a Great World. Now, these countless small worlds were subjected to her ultra-compression. If detonated, perhaps only the Endless Worlds would be spared; even the Yuan Qian World would be instantly annihilated. The terrifying potential of these small worlds converging on Luo Tianyi was unimaginable.

Yi Ren controlled all chance and necessity in the world; even the supreme principle of fate existed within the chance of her single thought. Relying on this extreme law, even if she merely stood there and glanced, mountains would crumble, seas would dry up, the sky would collapse, and the earth would explode. Her eyes perceived the rise and fall of human existence, life and death, motion and stillness, inside and out, emptiness and fullness—all within a single glance.

One glance—the world perishes. Another glance—the world is reborn.

Now, her gaze, gathering all chance and necessity, fixed upon Luo Tianyi. Power that could not be perceived by the naked eye began to manipulate her destiny and existence.

Any one of these three individuals, placed in any world, was a heaven-defying figure whose mere stamp of the foot could make worlds tremble and millions of gods and demons kneel. Their existence was so potent that even the Yuan Qian World could not contain a single thought from them. Yet, here they were, three joining forces against one—a truly earth-shattering confrontation.

But!

As the oldest existence of the current era, the Heart of Truth, after merging with Luo Tianyi, experienced a massive leap in both its fundamental existence and combat power. Facing the combined assault of the three, her expression remained calm and composed; not only did she not fall behind, but she even held a slight advantage.

The Mirror of Truth shone, its blinding light instantly piercing Yao Yao’s Endless Lattice Body, dissolving Hong Ling’s countless small worlds in an instant. Even Yi Ren’s chance-based thoughts were reflected back by the light, unable to invade.

"Is this the full strength of the members of the Time Travel Brigade? I am deeply disappointed!"

Standing above the void, Luo Tianyi looked down upon them with an invincible demeanor.

Around her, Yao Yao, Hong Ling, and Yi Ren wore grave expressions. They had known the opponent was strong and that combining their efforts might not be enough to win, but only through the fight did they realize the opponent's strength was far beyond what they could currently contend with.

"Damn it! If Qiqi were here... No, even if just Xue Yin were here..."

Hong Ling gritted her silver teeth, speaking with reluctance.

She knew clearly that this enemy standing before them could rank in the top three even within their Time Travel Brigade, but in terms of pure strength, only the Commander and Vice-Commander Qiqi could truly contend with her. Although due to their differing attributes, there existed a strange dynamic where Qiqi completely suppressed her, she completely suppressed the Commander, and the Commander could suppress Qiqi.

However, for any other member—even the other ten protagonists beloved by the world in their Time Travel Brigade—defeating her in a one-on-one fight was impossible, because... she was the sacrificed protagonist!

Actually, in the era following Qiqi, the world birthed two protagonists, Yin and Yang complementing each other. One was their Commander, and the other was the woman before them. But due to various reasons, she transferred all her protagonist destiny to her younger brother, leading to her own demise.

The sacrifice of a protagonist was something that should never have happened.

Yet, it did happen. And because this occurred, even though she had willingly chosen to pass away, it was not so simple for a protagonist to truly perish. It was precisely this event that caused the world's turbulence in later eras, leading to countless irreparable consequences.

It could be said: the world was saved by her, but it was also plunged into destruction because of her!

She was the true origin of all this!

Originally, if Qiqi had remained alive, dealing with her would not have been difficult. But now that Qiqi was dormant, their last trump card was Xue Yin... Within the Time Travel Brigade, Hong Ling, Yi Ren, Xue Yin, and Yao Yao shared the closest bonds and the most seamless coordination. If the four of them teamed up, they could stand a chance even against the Commander and Vice-Commander Qiqi simultaneously.

But now, Xue Yin was still unconscious, and the three of them were in a weakened state. Both their individual strength and coordination were flawed, while the opponent had gained the host's body, strengthening her in all aspects, even allowing her to utilize most of the Mirror of Truth’s power... Simply put, the possibility of the three of them winning this fight was almost zero!

They had anticipated this situation and prepared countermeasures, but everything was ready... except for Xue Yin!

"If this is all you have, then you can all just die. Now, let me show you... the true power of the Mirror of Truth!"

Luo Tianyi sneered. As she spoke, the Mirror of Truth aimed at the three of them again, releasing a blinding glare.

Sensing the terrifying power surging toward them, the three instantly changed expression.

Hong Ling transformed into light, attempting to evade, but just as a river is swallowed by the sea, her light form was powerless against the Mirror of Truth and was enveloped in an instant. Simultaneously, Yao Yao and Yi Ren were not spared, their bodies also enveloped by the beam of light.

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Under that powerful light, the bodies of the three began to shrink at a rate visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, the three formerly vibrant women had all transformed into little girls around ten years old, and even their clothes had become juvenile attire!
