Chapter 321

That was the work that got him hooked.

Back then, as a naive young boy, he fell utterly in love with this anime after watching it, to the point of being completely hooked. He read the two main episodes, the manga, the OVA, the theatrical version, and even the novels and fan fiction.

Therefore, this character is not like the other characters that Li Pu drew, which are only partially understood.

She knows this character very well, so her knowledge value is very high when she draws her.

This is the first character she has drawn that has a 40% chance of being understood.

Because he understood this, Li Pu was also very clear about the special nature of this character's attributes, because of the word 'god'. This is not an adjective; most of Li Pu's other roles can be described as 'comparable to gods with mortal bodies' or 'comparable to gods with mortal wisdom'.

But this Belldandy is the 'god' who is compared to her.

That's what makes this character so special—she's a true 'god'.

The appearance of such a character in the gacha pool surprised Li Pu; she had only wanted to draw a character. Any character would do, as long as she could avoid those people looking for her.

Don't put her back on the throne.

Then I drew this character.

If this is luck, then it is indeed quite lucky. But if it's not luck, then there seems to be a slight conspiracy involved. Because after drawing the character, the system didn't seem very surprised, although she could hear some surprise in what the system said at the time. But Li Pu felt that the system was faking it, deliberately putting on an act, or even that it had already guessed that she would draw this character.

Therefore, Li Pu always felt that the system had changed the gacha pool, as the entire pool consisted of Belldandy. There were no other characters at all.

However, without evidence, Li Pu did not dwell on the matter further.

Although it differed slightly from her original plan, it wasn't too much. Her original intention was to draw a character, change her appearance, and start searching for SU again. The character Belldandy made that possible for her.

It also gave her the capital to make deals.

Certainly...

This capital is also theoretical.

In theory, Belldandy has the ability to grant other people's wishes, but in practice, it's a different story. Like right now, although Belldandy's stats are very high, the highest among all the newly drawn characters...

This highest level also gave her many benefits, such as being able to use mirrors as a medium to quickly travel between different places.

For example, using divine power.

But this doesn't mean that Belldandy can do everything she can now.

For example, fulfilling other people's wishes.

At least for now, Belldandy has it, but she's still a little short and can't use it.

If this capability cannot be developed before the transaction is completed, then things will be somewhat unfavorable.

How do we develop this capability?

With her high level of knowledge Belldandy naturally unlocked some memories as well. Among them were the prerequisites for granting someone's wish: 'revival' and 'healing'. Using her song to 'revive' or 'heal' plants or animals that have lost their life is a prerequisite for granting someone's wish.

According to the explanations I remember, both 'recovery' and 'healing' fall under the category of 'fulfilling wishes'.

It pertains to the fundamental desire to fulfill one's inner longings: 'to live' and 'to live better'.

If even this cannot be done, then there is no possibility of successfully fulfilling someone else's 'desire'.

Therefore, if I want to complete this deal, I need to start training now.

But...

But after all this time, the tree didn't budge at all.

What went wrong here?!

Chapter 361 Give Me a Blooming Flower

Belldandy originally thought that as long as she let out a loud howl like in the animation, the tree would sprout.

It's that simple, as depicted in the animation.

Of course, this might raise a problem. That is, Belldandy's musical knowledge is basically zero. If you have to say, she does have some musical foundation; although her music classes in elementary and middle school were often taken up, she still had some.

However, he didn't receive any professional training after that.

Belldandy wasn't too worried about the fact that she hadn't received any professional music training, because the advantage of having high knowledge was that it would not only unlock certain specific skills, but also some seemingly useless life skills.

For Belldandy, it meant singing.

Anyway, you don't need to write your own lyrics or compose your own music; you can just hum along to the familiar melodies in your head.

In this age of information overload, even if you haven't heard of Pig Grunt, you've at least eaten pork, right? Belldandy didn't consider herself a sophisticated person who was well-versed in art, but she had heard quite a few songs and knew a few of them.

"So..." Belldandy muttered to herself, stroking her chin and looking at the tree, "Could it be that the wrong piece of music was chosen?"

Is it because the music is wrong?

Belldandy was a little confused. This tune hadn't been specially chosen. She'd just hummed something that came to mind, and in her opinion, the melody was secondary; the main thing was the divine power at work. But now, it seemed that wasn't entirely true.

"Then what exactly went wrong?" Belldandy felt a little strange.

So what exactly happened...?

"Although it's Belldandy's voice, it doesn't convey Belldandy's feelings; it's mixed with more obsession and desire." While Belldandy was still pondering what was going on, she heard someone say in her ear, "The purpose is impure; it's not to fulfill those wishes, but merely to achieve them for the sake of being able to achieve them."

"Naturally, there's no way to do what Belldandy did."

"Ah!" Belldandy was startled. Becoming Herrscher gave Belldandy a significant advantage, enhancing her sensory abilities. And on that basis Belldandy, her perception was further amplified.

So far, almost no one has been able to get to her side quietly.

The sudden sound startled Belldandy. She turned around and did a backflip to create several meters of distance, watching the person warily.

"Clap clap clap~~" But that one didn't react in any particular way to Belldandy's actions. She even clapped her hands in surprise and said, "Although you have Belldandy's power, voice and appearance, your skills are much better than Belldandy's."

"It seems you should be a Battle Goddess rather than a Goddess of Fate."

"Urd?!" When Belldandy finally saw the figure clearly, she was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

This... isn't this Urd, Belldandy's older sister from the "Ah! My Goddess" cast? Belldandy was certain she wasn't mistaken; brown skin, inverted triangle-shaped divine markings, and that undeniably sexy figure.

Riding on a broomstick, still looking... oh no, incredibly alluring, who else could it be but Urd?

"Oh, it seems you know me." Urd said, somewhat surprised but not entirely. "This is really interesting."

"What's your name?" Urd asked curiously. "Although you and my sister look exactly alike from every angle, you're clearly a combat type. So I can't exactly call you Belldandy too, can I?"

"My name is Bellu..." Belldandy was about to introduce herself naturally.

But after Urd glared at her with that seemingly arrogant look, Belldandy immediately changed her mind and said, "My Li Pu."

"Ah... well, my name is just that simple, Li as in Li Pu, Pu as in Li Pu." As the imposter Belldandy, she always felt a little inferior in front of this person who might be the real Urd, so she could only weakly ask, "You... how did you get here?"

"Because I heard Belldandy's voice." Urd sat on the broom, his imposing manner overpowering the imposter Belldandy, but his words were gentle and somewhat playful. "If I remember correctly, my sister shouldn't be here, so I came to check out her out of curiosity."

"And then I saw you."

After saying that, Urd floated down from the broom, extended her index finger and gently lifted Belldandy's chin, her eyes seeming to see right through her.

"A strange soul," Urd said with great interest. "There's something strange inside your body, a convergence of three different forces, gradually converging towards the same one, and this strange force is changing your soul."

"Huh?" Belldandy was not quite sure what Urd was talking about. Urd's actions had stirred up some unpleasant memories for her.

From a certain fox, she fell to the ground, suddenly felt a jolt, and then scrambled backward to create some distance.

"Oh ho ho ho~" Urd 'Belldandy reaction, "She's surprisingly cute."

"Hiss~" That voice, that tone, and that aura. It couldn't help but remind Belldandy of a certain student council president imagining their vice president saying those words.

"Ara~ Ara~ So cute~" (Evil grin.)

But! But that was just what they imagined, while this person actually acted that way.

'So this half-demon, half-goddess Urd is throwing her queenly aura at me? I don't recall Urd having this kind of character in the original work.' Belldandy got up from the ground and said, 'Um...'

I'm at a loss for words. I need to switch characters. Even though I'm not Urd's real sister...

It's precisely because she's not her real sister that Urd would never show her that gentle side. She would also use the same methods she wouldn't dare use on her, or wouldn't want to use on her sister, on herself.

Therefore, we must change roles now!

Change!

Belldandy quickly switched roles, adjusting her mindset and thoughts to be someone who was strong enough and unafraid of the gods.

For example, MEI.

Then, the expected character switch didn't happen. It was as if the characters who should have been on her had completely disappeared. There was absolutely no reaction.

'System!' Belldandy quickly transferred her consciousness into the system space.

However, this time the rudimentary system interface was completely blank! Apart from the frames and boxes, there wasn't a single word.

"As expected!" Belldandy's subtle premonition had indeed come true. She felt something was off; why had she drawn a character with the 'god' attribute?

It seems the system was indeed up to no good.

Although she didn't know what the system wanted to do, Belldandy quickly exited the system space and was greeted by Urd's big face.

"No need to do so much." Urd said with a smile that even seemed a little malicious, "I have sealed away all your strange things. I've left only the three basic and different powers."

"Ah... ah..." Belldandy was so shocked she couldn't speak.

Is this even possible?

"Isn't this a simple matter?" Urd said. "As a god, this is a basic way to use divine power, so you can use it too. I can seal you, but you can also break through this seal yourself."

'There really is such a thing?' Belldandy was even more shocked.

That's amazing!

"Don't make that face." Urd circled Belldandy once Belldandy. There's absolutely no trace of it being an imposter."

"Ah..." Belldandy felt embarrassed and was even speechless for a moment, having a lot of thoughts but unable to express them.

Urd didn't seem to care about the embarrassment of this fake Belldandy. She looked at the withered tree and said, "So you were actually practicing... no, more accurately, you were imitating Belldandy, right?"

Urd's words seemed to enlighten Belldandy.

Oh, although this surprised her, since the real Urd is here, why can't she just ask her some questions directly?

"Yes," Belldandy replied. "Theoretically, I can do what Belldandy can do, so I made a deal with another person in exchange for a wish. If it doesn't work out... well, it's not really a loss for me. But I value my reputation, and a deal that has been made must be fulfilled no matter what."

"So the attempt to replicate Belldandy's abilities, as you can see, was unsuccessful."

After calmly finishing her statement, Belldandy felt less overwhelmed by the imposing manner she had been in before. Although she wouldn't say she would completely take back her position, she could now earnestly express her opinions and thoughts.

"So can you help me?" Belldandy asked, mimicking the original. "Sister?"

To be honest, calling someone "sister" actually had a slightly strange effect.

"Sister?" Urd said with amusement, "You're not really Belldandy. Calling me sister is fine... I always thought having another younger sister would be interesting. But I'm not Belldandy, and the only answer you want is Belldandy."

"Go and seek her out for education."

"Huh?" Belldandy was stunned.

So?

What are they trying to do?

P. S.: If I didn't travel between worlds, I don't know how to write the rest of the story.

PS: Also, looking at the chapters, there are almost 300-400 chapters already. The male protagonist can't keep switching between different characters to fight. For the sake of the later conspiracy surrounding the system—though it's not entirely a conspiracy... the male protagonist himself also needs combat abilities.

P. S.: So I'm going to travel to another world for a while.

P. S.: I recently reinstalled Honkai Impact 3rd, and I noticed there are a lot more Valkyrie and strange storylines now. I need to figure out how to handle characters like the Silly Goose.

P. S.: Let's use the time travel feature as a transition for now.

Chapter 362 Come to Learn Kung Fu

Li Pu had considered the idea of traveling through the world.

Because the setting of Honkai Impact 3rd includes the possibility of traveling to different worlds.

Li Pu knew about the Sea of Quantum and the World Bubble. However, he believed that the worlds within the World Bubble were mostly the same as those in the Honkai worldview, with roughly the same basic settings.

The difference might be that the power of Honkai is strong, weak, or nonexistent.
