After devouring Nanook's projection, Momoshiki's physical fitness, soul strength, and ability strength had reached a terrifying level.
The power of a tenfold projection made Momoshiki feel like he could punch through several galaxies with one punch.
Perhaps it wasn't an illusion.
Momoshiki smiled confidently, using stellar power to create a black hole the size of a palm, and casually pinched it, directly crushing it into dust and dissipating it.
Although he didn't seem to be able to fully compare with an Aeon now, after devouring a few Divine Tree fruits, evolving abilities of the level of space-time, causality, or fate, and then refining and amplifying them, he could barely be considered an Otsutsuki God by then.
If he wanted to truly become a god, the first thing he had to do was break through the current dimension, that is, come to the original dimension.
Or a higher world.
Only by exceeding the dimension and not being bound and controlled by causality and fate could he be a true god.
"Momoshiki, how's your body now?"
Looking at Momoshiki studying his power for a while and spacing out for a while, Furina asked with a hint of concern.
Why was he smiling for a while and dazed for a while? It was so strange, don't let this power overwhelm him!!
"It's okay, I'm just planning the path to becoming stronger next."
Momoshiki said, using the power of Takami-Musubi to extract a trace of stellar power, making it into a black pill, and then returned to the Kamui Dimension, letting Furina regain control of her body.
"I made a pill for you. After you take it, your physical fitness and many other aspects will be greatly enhanced."
"Pill?"
Furina looked curiously at the small, finger-sized black pill floating in her hand.
The last time she heard the word pill was when she went to read Liyue's martial arts novels out of curiosity.
She originally thought that these magical pills, talismans, or powders were just fantasies, but she didn't expect them to actually exist!
"Thank you."
Without hesitation or suspicion, Furina thanked him and swallowed it in one gulp.
It had no taste, and merged with her body the moment it entered her mouth. A warm current surged from her mouth throughout her body, very comfortable.
"Hmm..."
The heat spreading through her body made Furina couldn't help but hum softly, the various meridians on her body seemed to be gently opened, not only without pain or burning, but like a massage.
This pill successfully merged with Furina, and her current physical fitness was almost comparable to a small planet, as powerful as a compressed body.
"It seems that the power of this pill is getting along with you very well."
Feeling Furina's body, Momoshiki was quite satisfied with his craftsmanship.
As expected of me, I can easily refine a pill that makes ordinary people instantly comparable to a small planet.

"Now that the business is done, are we going back?"
Momoshiki said, summoning a portal from the system panel.
He had been remembering that Furina wanted to go back to the Palais Mermonia to sleep, and after delaying for so long, it was indeed time to rest for a while.
"Yeah," Furina rubbed her slightly swollen temples, "Although I took the pill you gave me, and I'm full of energy now, I still feel so tired."
This was also a normal phenomenon. Being in a weightless state in the high sky all the time would consume a lot of physical and mental strength if you hadn't trained or adapted in advance.
Furina's ability to persevere until now was entirely due to Momoshiki controlling her body most of the time, which was why she had held on.
"Okay."
Reaching out and clicking on the portal, Furina passed through and returned directly to the Palais Mermonia.
...
Detecting that the collapsed space had disappeared, and the destructive energy had also evaporated from the world, the train fell into a dead silence again.
Looking at the destructive energy value recorded by the instruments, from low to high, and then from high to low, instead of the kind of direct disappearance that people understood.
Welt and Himeko exchanged a deep look, their eyes filled with silence.
"That... this isn't what we think it is, is it..."
March 7th couldn't help but swallow, and almost couldn't hold her bow and arrow.
The Aeon projection had traveled a long distance to glance at him, and he had devoured the Aeon projection in return?
What a joke?!!
The others didn't speak, but the meaning was self-evident.
Welt looked down at the Flying Thunder God Kunai in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
...
As soon as she returned to the bedroom, Momoshiki found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, feeling that someone was standing at the door.
Very familiar, it was Neuvillette!
Neuvillette, who had been standing outside for an unknown amount of time, seemed to feel the aura that suddenly appeared in the room, and reached out and knocked on the door.
"Wow! Huh? Who is it?!"
Furina, who had just returned from the Honkai universe, was in a state of high tension and suddenly relaxed, and was startled by the knock on the door.
After reacting, she immediately resumed the appearance of the Hydro Archon, clearing her throat.
"Cough, I mean come in."
Having obtained Furina's permission, Neuvillette then opened the door, and stared straight at Furina as soon as he came in.
"Neuvillette? What's wrong?" Furina asked in confusion, but seeing Neuvillette's eyes were wrong, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"Why are you looking at me like that? That's so rude!"
"Um... sorry, Ms. Furina."
Neuvillette seemed to realize his gaffe, and lowered his head slightly to apologize.
"It's okay."
Seeing Neuvillette return to his usual appearance, Furina waved her hand generously, indicating that this matter was skipped.
"Say it, what did you come to me for?"
"Lady Furina, I want to ask you, where exactly have you been during this time?" Neuvillette asked with a serious expression.
Now Neuvillette himself didn't know how to view Furina.
Clearly she was as silly as usual, but she had also become different from usual.
Was it related to the power she suddenly obtained, or was she secretly planning something?
If it was just Furina alone, then Neuvillette didn't care about what she was secretly planning, but now many of Furina's actions clearly didn't seem like decisions she could make alone.
This made Neuvillette suspect again that Furina's body hadn't been taken over, but another person had moved in, and was constantly using power to lure and encourage Furina.
"Achoo!"
Momoshiki in the Kamui Dimension sneezed inexplicably.
What the?!
I have the power of a tenfold Aeon projection, how could I sneeze? Who exactly is talking about me?!
"Where to?"
Hearing Neuvillette's question, a hint of panic flashed in Furina's eyes, but she quickly crossed her arms to cover it up.
"As the God of Justice, you should be clear that I'm particularly busy, and everything I do is for Fontaine."
"Fontaine hides many crises, and only I can handle them, you can't interfere, besides, do I have to report my actions to you?"
Saying this, Furina suddenly paused, feeling that what she said was a bit too much.
No matter what, Neuvillette was concerned about her, was it a little bad to say this?
"If it's really necessary, then I'll definitely make it up next time." After a period of ideological struggle, Furina muttered softly, and these words were heard clearly by Neuvillette.
[...]
Momoshiki sighed lightly.
As expected, it was still that Furina.
Listening to the tone that was hard for a while and cowardly for a while, Neuvillette frowned slightly, now even more certain that some incredible guy had drilled into Furina's body.
Neuvillette's gaze was sharp, staring straight into Furina's eyes.
Oh crap!
The Karma on Furina's right palm spread upward a little.
Momoshiki had been sharing his vision in stealth, and saw that Neuvillette seemed to be looking through Furina's eyes at him.
Although Neuvillette hadn't discovered anything at all, that feeling was quite creepy.
And Neuvillette, seeing that there was nothing unusual in Furina's eyes, fell into deep thought again.
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
In Neuvillette's understanding, Furina's eyes had become a lot stranger, with a feeling of energy similar to the crimson ball she had launched at the opera house.
But after staring for a long time, nothing happened, what exactly was going on?
"Momoshiki... Neuvillette didn't discover anything, did he?!"
Furina asked carefully in her heart, with a hint of unconfidence.
[Don't worry, he didn't, his current expression is self-doubt.]
"That's good."
Hearing Momoshiki say this, Furina breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Lady Furina, I came this time, besides asking about your whereabouts, I also want to inform you about the trial of Mr. Lyney's case, which will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
!!!
"Why so fast?! Didn't you say the day after tomorrow?!"
Furina widened her eyes in surprise, successfully earning Neuvillette's strange gaze.
"Lady Furina, tomorrow is the time that was stipulated at the time, have you forgotten?"
Neuvillette looked at Furina thoughtfully, supporting his chin with his hand.
"No no, of course I haven't forgotten!"
Furina shook her head, but a big question mark rose in her heart.
"Momoshiki! What exactly is going on?!"
[The universe is too profound and mysterious, it's easy to get lost in it, forget the time, after all, there's no day and night. ]
[And we just happened to not have anything to watch the time, so we temporarily ignored how long it had been.]
"I see!"
Hearing this explanation, Furina rubbed her forehead with a headache, then put on the Hydro Archon's posture again, crossing her arms and saying, "The place I went to handle things just now was difficult to perceive the passage of time, so I ignored it for a while, don't worry about it."
"The dutiful Chief Justice, I'm sure you have a lot of things to be busy with now, go do it."
Seeing Furina issue an order to leave, Neuvillette, full of suspicion, didn't continue to pester her, just nodded calmly.
"Okay, Ms. Furina."
He originally wanted to remind her of a series of problems such as the sudden series of missing girls cases and the Primordial Sea related to Lyney's case, but thinking of Furina's mysterious operations, he felt that it was better for her not to know.
