I have found out your real name

Chapter 255 The Nature of Capability

The heavy weapon cut through the air, and the storm brought up the neatly arranged tables and chairs like feathers, but the target of such a powerful blow was only a little girl of about ten years old.

She raised her fair right hand flat and collided with the edge of the cross-shaped sword and spear.

The collision between flesh and steel erupted with a terrifying roar, as if high explosives were detonated in the room. An invisible shock wave swept around, razing the classroom where the two were before to the ground.

In the vast white void space, the beating crimson flames wrapped around Lilith's arms until they ignited her entire body. The endless light and heat destroyed all traces of her existence.

But the next moment, like going back in time, the shadow appeared in front of Li Wu again and solidified into the new president of the Guiyi Association.

Is it a clone, or simply immortality?
In the past, he had always been on the advantageous side of the intelligence war, but now he was facing an enemy whose real name was unknown for the first time.

"How could you suddenly take action in the middle of a conversation like this?"

She dusted off her clothes as if dumbfounded, brushing away the non-existent dust.

"Sorry, I just heard that my childhood sweetheart seemed to split into two. I was so surprised that I almost wanted to kill someone."

The second attack had exceeded the speed of sound propagation and struck in front of her.

He originally thought that the Lilith in front of him was the demon king himself who attacked the light.

However, assuming what she said is true, there is still a lost light in another world. Now that she has returned to the original world, she still has some hostility towards the "light that has not traveled" here, and even gets involved in it. In this incident——

Where will the light that was also transferred away like him be now?

Just thinking about the possible results for a moment gave rise to the urge to rush there immediately.

The spear tip lingering in the red flame penetrated the girl's chest like a rotating drill, violently tearing it into two pieces, and then without hesitation attacked the place where the next phantom was generated.

No matter what the mechanism of the enemy's "resurrection" is, let's do hundreds of repeated experiments and observe it first.

Although he was frequently eliminated and reborn, the opponent still kept talking intermittently. This kind of villain's unique talkative spirit made Li Wu, who was in a hostile position, couldn't help but admire him.

"Can you at least listen to me first about the second consciousness involved?"

Li Wu's offensive movements did not pause, and the Ascalon stabbed continuously turned the enemy's body into a human-shaped torch again.

According to what Lilith just said, the phenomenon of light traveling due to the collision of two worlds was modified into an ordinary car accident in the correct continuation of history. Naturally, he still vividly remembered the accident that caused her to be two weeks late for school.

Then, the identity of the other unlucky fish in the pond will naturally be revealed.

Looking back now, the time when he gained the ability to see through his true name was around the same time as Hikaru's car accident.

"Where do you think your abilities come from?"

As if she could see what he was thinking, Lilith's lower body was being burned to ashes, but the head hanging in the air still smiled and said, "It's like experiencing the edge of life and death. People who return from death are slightly different." There is a chance that you will be able to see spirits and perceive things that were originally invisible; you will witness the conflict and damage between worlds with your own eyes, and there is an astronomically slim possibility that you will be able to look directly into the world through the torn exterior. The operation of logic, but that kind of information is too difficult for the human brain to understand, so it is simplified into the form of expression you see."

Li Wu raised the sword and gun upwards and threw the remaining head into the air. Li Wu switched to holding the gun with one hand, holding the imaginary hilt of the sword with his free hand.

Green flames were outlined in the air along with the roar of the black dragon. The Kurigara sword was pulled out of thin air, slashing through the fallen head from bottom to top, splitting it in two.

After the last residue burned away, a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"That sword is useless to me. Although I don't have your talent, I can still do tricks like interfering with the principles of the world and hiding my own nature - otherwise, how can I have the nerve to claim to be the strongest?"

Lilith said matter-of-factly, "A special situation like yours would never occur under normal circumstances, but when the world's consciousness is about to lose its own protection, it actually becomes a resource that can be utilized."

This time, she did not face the attack calmly, but appeared in another location in pure white space in an instant.

"The ability of the white bird..."

But she uses it far more skillfully than she does.

"Very useful, right? The Anthem Project itself is just a cover. Its fundamental purpose is to use the qualifications of a fallen god to cultivate the only ability I need. The other superpowers derived from it are just to cover up her exist."

Lilith answered his previous questions by the way, "That is to say, the best way to hide a drop of water is to hide it in the sea. I actually reminded you of the light - the light over there."

"What do you mean by available resources?"

After repeating the attack hundreds of times, Li Wu already had some guesses about her resurrection phenomenon, but practicing his guesses also required the process of accumulating energy. He simply pretended to be very interested in the conversation just now.

"To put it simply, he is the appointed savior."

Lilith spread her hands, creating patterns depicting different scenes like murals.

"For example, someone killed an evil dragon by chance and bathed in its blood. It would take hundreds of years for this story to be turned into a cultural symbol and accumulate enough power to turn the person involved into a being like a heroic spirit. But by looking directly at the world By establishing a connection, you can directly draw strength from this ritual behavior across thousands of years of history.”

"That's why I met the monster in the first place."

"It may not be a monster, but it could be something else. Resist monsters, slay evil dragons, defeat powerful forces, and finally transcend myths... Events that most people will never encounter in their lifetime will happen around you. It's like a carefully designed game for players. The game plan for monsters from level 1 to level 100 is the same, just to quickly accumulate your experience points."

"What's the purpose? I don't think I can correct the so-called principles of the world now."

Li Wu really couldn't imagine what kind of expectations the world had placed on him.

"It was never intended to be an immediate fix."

Lilith let out a malicious smile for the first time, "Remember the metaphor of the reservoir we used before? Now that the reservoir is about to burst due to poor management, the first reaction must be to replace it with one that is strong enough. model, while reducing the excess water volume, and then slowly improve the management, right?”

The picture in her hand became clear. There were countless monsters wailing in the karma fire. Girls dressed similarly to Hoshikawa Aoi were penetrated by the sword wrapped around the black dragon. The blood-sucking monster that transformed into a giant dragon was attacked by a big sword. Beheadings, blurry-looking superpowers and people who use magic were turned into minced meat under huge stone pillars falling from the sky, and the gods who returned to the moon were pushed into the desolate void of the universe...

"Classmate Li Wu, why are you able to fight all the way until now despite being an ordinary person? Why can you see words on other people's heads? Why do you encounter supernatural events so frequently... There is only one answer -"

"You are a tool used by the world's consciousness to recover excess power. You are a cleansing weapon that uses the daily world as a baseline to eradicate abnormalities and kill gods and Buddhas. In the future, you will be the final test for all gods and humans!" All the pictures are frozen in the reflection of a human figure. In the mirror, Li Wu finally saw what he gained after defeating the god.

"In the Rubicon world that was also damaged by the impact, something similar to you must have been born, but before it became strong enough, it was stopped by visitors from outside the world by accident."

Lilith happily told the truth, "You are the [Demon King]."

"What, no way—did you think I would say that?"

On the pure white ground that was empty except for the two people, huge stone pillars that should not exist here rose up, forming a complex pattern with the two people at the center.

Although what she said does sound incredible, and can be compared with Susano'o's words, even if it is true, it will not affect what he wants to do now.

"Open the way to the light, otherwise I will eradicate you now no matter what the future holds."

Li Wu ignited the flames of anger and pressed it into his chest.

As if an engine had been started, the blood was boiling and flowing rapidly in the body. Red steam spurted out from the surface of the skin, turning the clothes on the upper body into ashes.

The flames cast bronze-like lines on the body surface. Under the strengthening effect of Stonehenge, the power is moving to a higher place, as if the mass of a dragon is stuffed into the human body, almost ready to expand and roar.

He recalled the vast network he had seen for a moment.

With each word as a node, infinite power is running through it. If contact with it is the true function of the ability, then what he can use now is only a tiny bit of it.

The conversation with Lilith also brought him great inspiration.

After overcoming the three seals with the brave man, the degree of completion of the [Sage] that was holding him back the most has also increased rapidly. This time, Li Wu seems to be able to see the "story" of his own experience as a ritual , the whole process of intercepting power from the world.

Just like a blind man regains his sight, when his cognition changes, his vision becomes completely different.

There was a faint thunder in Stonehenge, and the white-gold light reminiscent of the stars appeared from above, and finally condensed into a spear-like weapon.

Brionac - so called in popular subculture, but actually not mentioned by name in the original mythology, the magic spear of Luger, the god of light and sun in Celtic mythology.

Just as he once speculated, what the [Sage] obtained after reaching completion was the power related to the godhead of the sun.

"I haven't told you all about the plan I made around you, so interrupting now would be too unbecoming of an appointed protagonist, right?"

Lilith yelled and jumped repeatedly in space to avoid the lightning released from the spear suspended in the air.

"Who cares about you."

Will he become a crazy person in the future who doesn't recognize his relatives and shouts "people with super powers should be killed" every day... Li Wu feels that the bitterness and hatred have not reached this level yet. Even if it is possible, he can wait until the matter is over to worry about it. Not too late either.

What we need to do now is to get to her side.

He removed the ineffective Kurigara sword and took hold of the brand new weapon.

With one hand grasping the mythical spear that represents the natural force of the sun and thunder, and with the other hand raising the sword and spear to kill the evil dragon, he can now call himself a man with two brushes.

The blazing white thunder pillar expanded around it as the center of the circle, and crimson flames rose and licked following the flashing figure.

The violent fire and thunder seemed to annihilate everything in the world to ashes. Even this empty and pure white space was shaken, and black cracks were revealed on the desolate background.

I've tried to kill her hundreds of times and still haven't found the solution to resurrection, so let's try burning this strangely constructed place together.

"It's really violent, so I have to resist a little bit."

Lilith turned around like a dance, leaving the thunder and flames behind.

Her body was coated with a liquid metal-like brilliance that Li Wu was very familiar with, and she put on a Lolita-style long skirt and complicated ribbons suitable for a little girl in the sound of engineering machinery that was more like Kamen Rider's transformation. , a pointed wizard hat appeared on his head.

"Magical girl Lilith, please come!"

The girl who lifted up her skirt blinked her right eye, and hundreds of spherical luminous bodies were arranged around her body.

"Magic Cannon·Hundred Songs."

There were more than a hundred, each of which was superior to the magic cannon released by Aoi Hoshikawa. The black beams of light turned hundreds of times, weaving into a maze-like launch path, and then suddenly appeared in front of Li Wu under the jump of space ability. .

Not only can he use Shiratori's superpowers, but now he has transformed into a magical girl. What is this guy's real ability?
While thinking, he had already made a response.

As if time suddenly slowed down, the light beam containing huge magic power was reduced to hundreds of points, densely distributed in front of his eyes.

The forked tip of the spear shot out a total of five rays of light and lightning, destroying the intensive bombardment like a wandering dragon and snake. Li Wu raised the sword and spear like a steel drill with one hand, and stabbed it out with the power of thunder. .

Just like tit for tat with the black magic cannon, the red light rays danced and collided in it. The flames and shock waves generated by the conflict seemed to be superimposed at the same time because the interval was too short, and swept around, even the white light that should have no entity existed. There are also cracks in the ground.

Before the flames from the explosion dissipated, he had already leapt from the flames in front of the enemy, using his spear as a club to smash into the ground with thunder.

Then, the moment Lilith disappeared, she threw the sword and spear in her right hand in a certain direction.

"what?"

As if cooperating, the girl who suddenly appeared there raised her palm in surprise and collided with the tip of the spear that ignited flames.

A sharp friction sound that tortured the hearing was heard loudly, and the beating Holy Spear was incredibly grabbed by someone's hands. It was thrown away as if it was thrown over the shoulder of a giant dragon, and returned to the owner's hand.

A trace of bright red blood flowed from the white palm.
