Chapter 914 -908 Can’t Think of a Title

When Chen Yu returned to the Necromantic Space after concluding the ritual on the Sanzu River Bank with all the ship-girls, he felt completely drained.

He dismissed all the ship-girls and returned to the Mage Tower, carefully locking the box containing the Storm Divine Core in the treasure vault of the tower. At the same time, he took off several pieces of Divine Equipment and his Mage Robe, changing back into his usual attire.

Originally, Chen Yu planned to take a bath and get some much-needed rest after returning. After all, there was a puppet at the hospital substituting for him, so there was no need for him to handle things personally.

However, as soon as he returned to the Necromantic Space, he received a message from Jounouchi Hiromi. This left Chen Yu with no choice but to force himself to overcome his exhaustion. In the laboratory, he prepared a vial of Energy Potion for himself, gulped it down, and then used the space-traveling ability of the Necromantic Space to arrive directly in Jounouchi Hiromi’s office.

“You’re back, darling?” Jounouchi Hiromi was initially startled to see Chen Yu appear, but quickly her expression softened with concern.

Chen Yu nodded slightly, still looking a bit fatigued. Although the Energy Potion could replenish physical and mental energy and alleviate tiredness, the potion took time to take effect. Having just consumed it, traces of weariness were still evident on his face.

Seeing him in such a state, Jounouchi Hiromi couldn’t help but feel distressed. She softly suggested, “Darling, don’t you want to rest first?”

“No need, I just drank an Energy Potion, I’m fine.” Chen Yu shook his head. By now, the effects of the potion were gradually taking hold, and the fatigue that gripped him was steadily fading. Chen Yu turned to Belfast standing nearby and said, “Beifa, get me a cup of coffee, no sugar.”

“Yes, Commander.” Belfast acknowledged and promptly headed to a corner to prepare coffee.

Chen Yu walked to the window, staring out at the overcast sky and raging wind. When Belfast brought the cup of freshly brewed coffee to him, he took a sip and then turned to Jounouchi Hiromi. “What’s the situation now?”

Hearing Chen Yu’s question, Jounouchi Hiromi, though still worried about his condition, relaxed a bit upon noticing his improved complexion. She opened her computer on the desk and began briefing him: “Currently, there are two typhoons in the waters east of Tokyo. One of them was caused by changes to world rules. Based on the government’s prior typhoon warning, the central wind speeds could reach level 14, and it’s already classified as a strong typhoon.

“Although the government issued a typhoon alert, the typhoon’s proximity to Tokyo means it’s expected to make landfall in just over ten hours. There’s simply no time to implement adequate disaster prevention measures, which could lead to catastrophic damage.”

“So you reached out to Ni Nasu for help to stop the typhoon from making landfall?” Chen Yu took another sip of coffee. With the potion now taking full effect, his exhaustion was entirely gone, and his thoughts were becoming increasingly clear. freёnovelkiss.com

Jounouchi Hiromi nodded and continued, “I was concerned about the potential destruction, so I asked Ni Nasu for assistance. She told me that this typhoon, brought about by the world rule changes, is a natural disaster. With her strength, she can only weaken it but cannot stop it.”

“She can’t stop the typhoon, so she summoned a second typhoon with an opposite rotational direction, hoping to counteract the strength of the strong typhoon?” Chen Yu glanced at the satellite imagery on Jounouchi Hiromi’s screen. He quickly analyzed the situation and grasped Ni Nasu’s approach.

While demigods are undoubtedly powerful—capable of effortlessly annihilating cities, wiping out armies, and wielding destructive power akin to nuclear weapons—they still pale in comparison to nature’s wrath.

This was something Chen Yu had always understood. After all, no matter how strong a demigod might be, they are not deities. In the face of nature’s raw might, even the powerful find themselves lacking.

Take Ni Nasu, for example. As the Water Elemental Lord, she was among the strongest of demigods. On the ocean, leveraging the power of the sea, she was comparable to a Lesser Deity and could even contend with some Intermediate Gods when their Divine Duties were at a disadvantage. Yet, when confronting one of the most destructive forces of nature—a strong typhoon—all she could do was weaken it, unable to face it head-on.

Thus, summoning a typhoon with an entirely opposite direction to clash with the naturally occurring one—and using the same natural rules—became Ni Nasu’s best available strategy.

Chen Yu placed his empty cup on the table and, after carefully calculating using the satellite imagery, said, “The typhoon summoned by Ni Nasu can only reduce the natural typhoon’s energy by about one-quarter to one-third, weakening it from a strong typhoon to an ordinary one. However, it will still retain significant destructive power. Fully eliminating it would require a third typhoon or some other means.”

“But there isn’t enough time for Ni Nasu to summon a second typhoon, right?” Jounouchi Hiromi understood the situation well. Ni Nasu had made it clear before leaving that she could only weaken the typhoon without stopping it entirely. This was why Jounouchi left a message in the Necromantic Space, ensuring Chen Yu would receive the update immediately upon returning.

“No, she doesn’t have the time or the spatial flexibility to prepare a second typhoon. Summoning even one typhoon stretched her power to its limit.” Chen Yu had now fully grasped the situation. With the Energy Potion working through his system, he felt revitalized.

Standing by the window, arms folded across his chest, Chen Yu shook his head slightly as he gazed at the dark clouds outside. “Forcibly canceling a typhoon would only result in greater disasters. The water vapor accumulated by the typhoon would disrupt the weather across the region, causing chain reactions that might even impact global climates.”

Rubbing his temples and closing his eyes briefly, he contemplated before speaking to Jounouchi Hiromi. “Weakening the typhoon is the best option for now. Let nature take its course to dissipate the sudden and disruptive effects of this typhoon.”

“But if it makes landfall…” Jounouchi Hiromi’s worry was evident. She remained deeply concerned about the potential destruction and aftermath if the typhoon struck land.

“That’s why I said weakening it is the best option. It minimizes significant impacts while still addressing the issue.” Chen Yu reiterated his point and then turned to ask Jounouchi Hiromi, “Where is Ni Nasu now? Can you pinpoint her location?”

“She’s in the eye of the typhoon she summoned. The two typhoons are about to converge,” Jounouchi Hiromi replied after using their Contract link to confirm Ni Nasu’s position.

“I’ll head there now.” Chen Yu nodded, then turned and left Jounouchi Hiromi’s office through the Necromantic Space.
