Chapter 1398 Sin City 3 (1)
[As you enter Li Yuanlong's body, the densely packed twelve wings on his back suddenly unfold. His body stands up again.]
[Near the basement, you found a large number of corpses. Their blood had been drained and used to draw a magic circle to summon you.]
[After finding a place to sit down, you began to carefully examine Li Yuanlong's remaining consciousness.]
[According to the remaining memories in his corpse, this body is ostensibly an online writer, but in reality is a Stand user and a serial killer with countless murders and heinous crimes.]
The so-called Stand Users are those who, upon the first appearance of the Holy Grail, conjure up a battle magecraft called "Sentence Ritual: Summoning the Heroic Spirit." These individuals, in addition to possessing relevant information, are also endowed with special spiritual energy, allowing them to awaken within their minds a power called a Stand.
[It is an image with a certain power. A person can only have one Stand, but it can have many different shapes and sizes, and many different abilities, such as enhancing or manipulating the body, elemental attacks, controlling the weather, and even manipulating time and space.]
After mastering this powerful force that was unlike any other mortal, these Stand users began to lose control of their own desires, and many, like Li Yuanlong, began to slaughter their own kind.
[This also further illustrates that the human world has been polluted, and only complete destruction can lead to innovation and rebirth.]
I don't know whether it's your good fortune or the world's misfortune, but you've now arrived in this world as a heroic spirit, without the aid of a Holy Demon Embryo. What's unsettling is that your power requires the spiritual energy of a mortal. After Li Yuanlong's death, your stay in this world will be significantly reduced, to a maximum of three days, before you'll be forcibly expelled.
[Furthermore, your current strength is also restricted by the laws of this world. This may prevent you from gaining an absolute advantage when facing other Heroic Spirits.]
As for the solution, there are three options. One is to create a new Master. As long as the other party is a Stand user and has Stand abilities, it will be fine.
[Second, you have to kill the other six Heroic Spirits within the remaining three days to end this Holy Grail War. You are absolutely confident, but the time is too short.]
[The third is to slash through space, allowing you to break free from the constraints of the heavens and successfully descend, but this may require planning.]
[As for the Greater Holy Grail they seek, it will appear at the final moment of the Holy Grail War and grant a wish to the final victor.]
You're not particularly interested in the Holy Grail itself, but rather curious about who the other six Heroic Spirits are besides you. Is the power you sensed, which rivals your peak strength, among these six Heroic Spirits?
You are currently in the basement of Li Yuanlong's residence, a simple building in Brooklyn, New York. Meanwhile, you've spied something called a computer in his memories, and it's somewhat promising, giving you a long-awaited sense of interest.
Li Yuanlong wrote a novel called "XX Simulator." You skimmed through it, but it was completely incomprehensible, especially what the players were up to. But a website he'd saved caught your attention.
This is a forum related to the Holy Grail War. If you think about it, the word "forum" is probably the right one. It contains a lot of discussions between Masters and information about Heroic Spirits.
[Currently, the identities of three Heroic Spirits have been confirmed.]
[One is Marvin Chaucer, known as the founding father of ancient America, who wields an axe as a weapon and has the class Berserker. Another is Dumas Edison, who founded modern applied science and has the class Caster. The last is an unnamed male swordsman-type Heroic Spirit.]
[As for the Master's identity, there is no introduction here. The Master's identity must be kept secret in public. This is one of the unspoken rules of the Holy Grail War.]
[Also, besides this forum, you also saw a game called Street Fighter 7 on Li Yuanlong's computer. Out of curiosity, you clicked on it and took a look. You chose Ken as your control target. Your opponent was a white-haired old man named JP, who looked weak. However, your Ken was ruthlessly slaughtered by JP's AI.]
After seventeen losses and seventeen fights, you left the house with a sullen expression and headed for the nearby Brooklyn Bridge.
[There's someone in the world who could hurt you to this extent. This time, coming to the human world, it was worth it.]
This Holy Grail War took place in the Imperial State, and it is said that the Heroic Magician Dumas Edison once appeared near here.
The so-called Heroic Spirits of this world are the beings of heroes whose great achievements have become legends after their death and who have become objects of devotion. Heroes from myths and legends are also born through the gathering of faith. Most of the products used by humans in this world are based on Edison's inventions. This person barely qualifies as your first opponent.
This bridge, known as the world's longest suspension bridge, spans the East River in the Empire State, connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan. However, due to the invasion of the Sea King, sea levels in coastal areas are at a point where they are about to submerge the land. Humans sometimes have to rely on land boats for transportation.
After some searching, you see Dumas Edison at the end of the 1683-meter-long Brooklyn Bridge. You can directly sense his aura, a powerful presence that seems to freeze even the air.
[It's worth noting that his head now resembles a lion. It's quite an interesting state.]
[Not far behind him, there was a female Master following, who must be a Stand user like Li Yuanlong.]
After arriving in this world, although his strength was suppressed by the Heavenly Dao, his abilities remained intact. Besides being able to directly utilize the Qi of Heaven and Earth, his moves were all akin to divine might. The Qi of Heaven and Earth replenished his inner essence, making him virtually inexhaustible. He could also deflect attacks from opponents unable to penetrate his defenses, or transform them into counter-magic sources for his own use. He could also wield divine power at will, causing natural disasters.
[Almost immediately upon meeting, he attacked you. His courage is commendable. You gave him a chance to demonstrate his abilities.]
His attack method is to use powerful light cannons to bombard, and he also possesses certain spiritual powers, which can steal the opponent's abilities for his own use. He can also summon mechanized infantry and his own inventions, which have various abilities such as lighting, dispersing, firearms, and lightning bombardment.
[He may seem powerful, but his strength is only within the limits you allow. His attacks are completely impenetrable, and you may even have absorbed his attacks long ago, turning them into weapons to attack him.]
You let him demonstrate his talent for 30 seconds, and then at 32 seconds, you pierce him with a single, brutal blow, turning him into flying debris.
"Heroic spirits are no different from mortals," you said calmly. (Legendary Level +1)
The female host watching the battle felt dazed and lost in thought. Her worldview had been completely overturned by the scene. Was the young man before her a Heroic Spirit or a Master?
