Come to think of it, Honkai Academy had quite a few absurdly overpowered stacking badges.

Just Knights Do Not Die by Hand alone provided a terrifying 199x boost. Though it came with restrictions, many common badges had no such limitations!

She remembered there was a common badge that boosted all damage!

Its multiplier was a full 100%!

Multiplied by the 199x bonus from Knights Do Not Die by Hand...

She might even be able to trade blows with an existence from a Single Universe!

But Knights Do Not Die by Hand had the restriction that she could not use weapons. Otherwise, it would have been even more perfect.

If the badge were max level, it would not grant a 199x bonus, but a 299x bonus! The effect would be even more terrifying!

Still, getting something like this from a single pull was already quite good.

She still had three draws left. After all, she had obtained four Infinity Stones and completed four missions in total. Having used one draw, she had three remaining.

But she did not plan to keep drawing.

Her intuition told her that her luck for today was probably gone.

Then she would take a look at the other things.

She had also obtained two character cards back at the Nasuverse Root.

She had nearly forgotten about them.

Two cards appeared in her hands. They were not much different from the one she had received for Pernor before, except these cards did not bear images of the corresponding characters.

Because these were random, whereas Pernor's had been fixed.

Although her luck for drawing items seemed to be gone, her luck for drawing characters should still be there.

Who would she get?

Thinking this, Sakura crushed one of the cards.

A stream of information surfaced in Sakura's mind.

Longo-Minyad!

Another possibility of King Arthur Artoria!

She had failed to die at the time when she was supposed to, and was corroded by the other Divine Weapon she possessed—the Holy Lance Longo-Minyad!

Corroded by this powerful Divine Weapon, the original King Arthur had ascended from a human body into a mighty god!

Yet her drastically different personality was the greatest difference between her and her original self!

Thus, she no longer bore the name Artoria, instead taking the name Holy Lance Longo-Minyad!

And in the Sixth Singularity of the FGO World, she was known as the Lion King!

In this form, Longo-Minyad was an indifferent deity!

Her proud figure was concealed beneath magnificent yet unbloated attire, but even so, it was difficult to hide her terrifying physique. As a god, she possessed pupils entirely unlike those of an ordinary Lancer.

Those yellow-green eyes gleaming with divinity were the greatest difference between her as the god Longo-Minyad and King Arthur Artoria!

Of course, her figure also counted as one.

"My Lord."

The indifferent god lowered her proud head before Sakura. At the same time, the crown atop Longo-Minyad's head, symbolizing her status, vanished. As an existence summoned by Sakura, she was no longer a king, nor was she a god. She was a weapon Sakura could use as she pleased—her sharp blade.

"This is quite nice."

Sakura narrowed her eyes slightly. Looking at the god and king before her who had offered up her loyalty, some wicked thoughts could not help but rise within her.

White was beautiful, but sometimes, she still preferred black.

"Raise your head, Longo-Minyad."

As a weapon and servant, the cold and beautiful god obeyed her master's command.

The more Sakura looked into those shining eyes, the stronger her desire became to stain this cold and beautiful deity with black, murky fluid.

People always loved destroying beautiful things, and Sakura, who had long ceased being human, took an even greater interest in such matters.

Sakura extended her right hand and gently cupped Longo-Minyad's right cheek.

Looking at the god before her, obediently submitting to her, she said in a slightly teasing tone, "Longo-Minyad, are you willing to offer everything to me?"

"Of course. Everything I have belongs to my master."

Longo-Minyad's gaze did not change in the slightest. Her clear eyes were the best reflection of her heart.

As a weapon and servant, this god had long been prepared to devote everything to her master.

"Then be stained with my colors."

Sakura smiled. Her fair, lovely face was now flushed with an unusual redness. She lowered her head slightly and kissed the crimson lips of the god before her.

At that moment, darkness filled with chaos and disorder continuously flowed into Longo-Minyad's body through their entwined tongues.

The pure-white god gradually stepped into profound darkness...

Forbidden Magic

Cave Heaven.

Belfast had just finished watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard when she sensed Sakura's presence.

An irrepressible joy appeared in the eyes of the dignified Maid.

Before her creator, the perfect and composed Maid found it increasingly difficult to maintain the proper mindset a Maid ought to have.

Fortunately, it was only in front of her creator.

"Lord Sakura!"

Belfast arrived at the front yard. The sight of that familiar figure brought joy to her face, but when she noticed the black-haired girl following beside her creator, she froze for a moment.

The scent of a human.

Had this person already done that with Lord Sakura too?

She instinctively guessed so, then immediately denied it.

As someone experienced herself, she quickly saw that the black-haired girl was still a virgin. She merely carried traces of her creator's scent.

And that scent was the opposite side possessed by her creator.

Her creator in that state was absolutely terrible! Recalling how she had been casually toyed with by her creator, Belfast could not help swallowing nervously.

"I'm back."

Sakura smiled as she walked up to Belfast and affectionately embraced her Maid.

Softness pressed against softness, heart against heart.

Enjoying that subtle sense of pressure, a certain desire within Sakura was immediately satisfied.

Her Maid somehow felt even cuter now.

Was that her doing?

Stroking her Maid's beautiful white hair, Sakura's heart brimmed with delight. White hair really was the best.

That was one reason Pernor had managed to push her down so easily back then.

But more importantly, Pernor's skills had simply been far too good.

She had truly felt wonderful that time.

"Oh, right. This is Longo-Minyad."

Suddenly remembering something, Sakura introduced her future companion to Belfast.

To her, the black god was far more pleasing to the eye than the pure-white king.

What satisfied her even more was that Longo-Minyad had no objection whatsoever. What a perfect existence—she could be a weapon, a blade, or even a delightful toy.

She was just a little weak.

Longo-Minyad was indeed powerful in the Nasuverse. Aside from those few cheat-like existences, as someone capable of wielding the Holy Lance, she possessed T1-level strength in the Nasuverse. Yet in this world, Longo-Minyad was only at the third tier, below Sub-Celestial.

Longo-Minyad's Holy Lance could not destroy an entire planet.

While Planet Buster was not the only standard for the Sub-Celestial tier, it was the most applicable one.

In this Marvel World, if you could not blow up a planet, you would be too embarrassed to call yourself strong.

Although this was a movie universe, and strictly speaking there was not even anyone capable of destroying a city yet, Longo-Minyad was still far too weak in Sakura's eyes.

But it did not matter. She had plenty of ways to increase Longo-Minyad's strength.

"Hello."

The aloof god still revealed a relatively gentle expression when facing her future companion, though her divine eyes inevitably made her seem somewhat distant.

But Belfast was no ordinary person. She quickly recovered and displayed the flawless smile of a perfect Maid.

"Hello, Miss Longo-Minyad. My name is Belfast, and I am the only Maid in this household."

Belfast placed slight emphasis on the word "only."

Even a Maid who appeared to neither fight nor compete had her own little thoughts.

Even if the somewhat difficult-to-approach Miss Longo-Minyad before her was not a Maid.

"Then you must be a great cook, right?!"

Longo-Minyad's eyes lit up slightly, as though she were certain Belfast had to be good at cooking.

Though she had changed from Artoria into the god Longo-Minyad, she still possessed the exact same bottomless appetite as Artoria.

"I know a thing or two."

Belfast's eyes lit up slightly as well. She sensed a familiar aura from this Longo-Minyad.

The aura of a glutton! She liked delicious food? Then leave it to Belfast!

Watching the two leave, Sakura went alone to the edge of the island.

She looked at the writhing Black Mud, a mocking smile curling across her lips.

"Nyarlathotep, get out here."

Sakura's voice was calm—so calm that no one could discern how she felt at that moment.

Illusory particles drifted about, like something out of a science fiction film.

But Sakura had no patience for this.

She opened with a forbidden spell.

Helm's Heavy Crush!

In a Fleeting Moment, lightning flashed amid violent wind blades.

The island's ground shattered instantly, revealing a gleaming metal layer beneath.

That was Vibranium!

Sakura did not stop there.

A deep light, bearing ominous meaning, emerged in her hand.

Ferryman's Admonition!

The deep light transformed into countless blades, relentlessly bombarding Nyarlathotep, whose figure had already been exposed.

The amplification from Knights Do Not Die by Hand had already taken effect. At this moment, every spell Sakura unleashed carried the power of the Celestial Level.

"Is this really necessary?"

Nyarlathotep smiled faintly. Her face, identical to Sakura's, wore a helpless expression, while her scarlet eyes still held a trace of amusement.

Nyarlathotep strolled leisurely through the gale and lightning. The forbidden spell, Helm's Heavy Crush, did not harm her in the slightest, and even when the endless blades reached her, her expression remained unchanged.

Sakura had grown quickly. Though she was only at the Sub-Celestial level, both her body and soul had already entered the Celestial Level. All Sakura lacked was the sublimation of her energy.
