Chapter 2558
Unfortunately, the Miraculous Item [Redemption Ticket] used by the Paradise Alliance to issue agent qualifications has its own unique standard for judging good and evil.
His playing style is based on percentages. The reputation points that Guiji accumulated when Wojian [Stargazer] have long been Guiji by Guiji.
With his current Guiji reputation score, Guiji would probably struggle to even scan a power bank in the Paradise Alliance.
"Or perhaps... that [Redemption Ticket] even knows the truth about why only two Nameless Guest were left on the Astral Express, struggling to stay together? It seems we really can't underestimate these Miraculous Item." Guiji suddenly spoke, his tone tinged with amusement.
As is well known, Wojian the time of [Stargazer] Astral Express was once only two passengers left, struggling to keep it running. This was one of the achievements of [Stargazer], which can Wojian described as saving the Astral Express from dire straits.
Hmm, but guess why there are only two left?
"Let's proceed as planned." Murata Ryusuke didn't respond to Guiji's words, but stood up, looked out the window, and said calmly.
"No problem. I'll take care of causing a major disaster at Two- Duality Paradise, making it apply for asylum at New Penacony. You can then take advantage of the chaos." Guiji nodded... then his neck stiffened, and he added with a pained expression.
Although Murata Ryusuke could have easily returned to "Guiji" and arrived at New Penacony without anyone noticing, since the Astral Express has already become suspicious of Murata Ryusuke's identity, all of his future travel plans could become the opportunity for exposure.
But if Duality Paradise becomes uninhabitable as a result, forcing all residents to temporarily relocate to New Penacony... then wouldn't there be no problem?
Surely the Paradise Alliance wouldn't just stand by and watch the countless people of the Duality Paradise perish? With so many people flooding in, how could they possibly assess the good and evil values of every single one of them?
The reason Guiji didn't choose to directly manipulate the probability of passing the test using dice is that although Guiji's ability can affect the probability, even if that probability is only one in ten thousand... What If a tester is absolutely infallible, then Guiji is helpless.
A Miraculous Item is something that will never make a mistake.
Despite enduring the pain of a recurring tenosynovitis, Guiji rolled the dice dozens of times and played Truth or Dare dozens of times, but he couldn't get Murata Ryusuke to register as a temporary agent even once.
Dozens of dice rolls, dozens of tenosynovitis flare-ups, dozens of forced truth or dare games.
One of his great adventures even involved Guiji doing twenty push-ups in front of everyone in the corridor of the Huishi Academy. Fortunately, he was appearing as Murata Ryusuke at the time, and the students just thought the principal was exercising.
But after the dice were rolled dozens of times, the test results for the [Redemption Ticket] remained unchanged.
However, Guiji's greatest talent is showing up uninvited and going to places that don't welcome him. Therefore, Guiji absolutely must join this Paradise Alliance.
At the same time, Guiji also wanted to test Aha's true strength.
Guiji still finds it hard to believe that Aha is really gone. If A Kivili or Aha were still alive, they would definitely not have ignored the great disaster in the Duality Paradise.
After all... a hero doesn't desert his post in the face of battle.
It is precisely because Guiji was once a navigator that he understands Nameless Guest best.
Anyway... let's light up the Duality Paradise first!
"Moreover, if I could lure Ritsuka Fujimaru, the Master of that insect who possesses all the divine power of the Aeon of Joy, to the Duality Paradise... I might as well take over the position of the God of Elation, which is currently vacant because Aha is dead." Guiji's tone suddenly became quite intrigued.
Aha is dead, Guiji shall be established. In the year of Jiazi, great fortune will come to the world!
That mindless insect couldn't control the power of the Aeon of Joy, but Guiji could.
As the Great Extinguisher Destruction Elation, and now acting Servant, further enhanced by the three Command Spell... the probability of him usurping the opponent's power of Elation is low, but not zero.
"Why does it feel like the concentration of Aeon of Joy in this Holy Grail War is a bit too high?" Murata Ryusuke muttered, frowning.
"That's true," Guiji replied in agreement.
Aha is the Aeon of Joy, the Great Silver Wolf is the Aeon of Joy, the corrupted Aha is the Aeon of Joy, and now Guiji also wants to become the Aeon of Joy...
Why does this Aeon of Joy accept everyone who comes to his position?
"You should get going." Murata Ryusuke stood up and looked at Guiji as he spoke.
"I look forward to your performance on the Astral Express." Guiji also stood up. This time he learned his lesson and didn't nod, but only responded softly.
"Hopefully, that Manyuan will bring some surprises to the Duality Paradise. The only pity is that even if the Manyuan is rescued, it won't be able to use Command Spell to summon Shuhu." Murata Ryusuke stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the night view of the Duality Paradise outside the window.
This is precisely why Guiji was willing to save Manyuan.
The reason why Guiji was able to successfully rescue Manyuan was because Guiji, as Servant at that moment, received a great boost in power after being empowered by Command Spell.
"There's no need to worry about that. Although the Heroic Spirit Shuhu cannot be summoned again, the real Shuhu is not dead yet... isn't he?" Guiji said with a light laugh.
Guiji discovered this situation after rescuing Manyuan.
Although Manyuan successfully escaped and still had Command Spell on the back of her hand, she was unable to use Command Spell to Shuhu Manyuan Servant the livestream room.
It is clear that the Miraculous Forger simultaneously disqualified Shuhu and Manyuan from participating in the Holy Grail War.
Servant Shuhu is dead, as the most famous Emanator of Abundance under the Aeon of Abundance, Shuhu's true Life Force is terrifyingly strong.
Under Manyuan's management, approximately 200,000 people in Haiyuan City underwent the Happiness Surgery, receiving implants of Shuhu Cells. This power was used in an attempt to revive Shuhu, the Emanator of Abundance, though the probability was very low...
But it's not zero, is it?
Furthermore, Guiji does not require the Manyuan to Destruction the entire Duality Paradise. Guiji only requires the Manyuan to create a storm powerful enough for the Miraculous Forger to allow the inhabitants of Duality Paradise to seek refuge in New Penacony without testing.
Guiji has spent so many years and so much money in the Duality Paradise, wasn't it all for this moment?
"To be summoned as a Heroic Spirit even before Shuhu has truly died... the summoning mechanism of this Holy Grail War is truly interesting," Murata Ryusuke remarked thoughtfully.
However, Murata Ryusuke felt as if he had forgotten something.
It seems to be related to the summoning mechanics of the Holy Grail War... but I can't remember anything about it, as if my brain is rusted.
Just now, when I was discussing with Guiji the idea that "living people can also be summoned as Heroic Spirits," something flashed through my mind, but I couldn't quite grasp it.
... Never mind, if I can't remember, I won't think about it. It's probably nothing important.
Murata Ryusuke's gaze fell on the neatly folded letter on the table. Looking at Himeko's handwriting, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
"It's a pity that the other Great Extinguisher all went to the Sea of Quantum with their benefactor... I won't be able to show off the letter my daughter wrote," Murata Ryusuke sighed softly.
That's a very sincere statement.
Murata Ryusuke seems to really enjoy playing the role of a father.
Although Himeko has lost her father, she still has herself.
Guiji did kill Himeko's father under duress, but Guiji also raised her with care for over a decade.
He hopes his beloved daughter can understand him and not turn against him.
She may have lost her father, but she still has herself. She can absolutely become a new guide in her life, can't she?
Chapter 2558
Moreover, Murata Ryusuke believed he had played his role very well. He portrayed a father who cared for his daughter at all times as raising a navigator whose fame resounded throughout the world.
What a beautiful and heartwarming story!
Unfortunately, the father is fake, and the daughter is fake too...
This is so interesting.
"Um?"
"Um?"
Countless powerful individuals across New Penacony stopped what they were doing almost simultaneously, raising their heads and casting their gazes toward the planet hanging in the New Penacony night sky.
Above Halutopia, the Duality Paradise that Chen Li had taken from the outside world and hung high in the sky as the moon, a surging Life Force suddenly rose up.
The aura was so intense that it almost materialized, like a giant tree bursting forth from the depths of the earth, stretching its branches toward the sky with unstoppable momentum.
The fluctuations were even felt by the passengers in the Astral Express carriages parked in the New Penacony.
"Shuhu? How did he come back to life?"
Almost the instant Feiying sensed that aura, she slammed her hand on the table and sprang up from the sofa. One hand braced against the edge of the coffee table, the other clutched her chest tightly, and she stared wide-eyed at the planet outside the window that was radiating an ominous Life Force.
"Shuhu? Chen Li, didn't you say we wouldn't have to use Shuhu again because of Manyuan?" March 7th turned to look at Chen Li, her tone full of confusion.
Upon hearing what March 7th said, everyone turned their attention to Chen Li.
"I meant that you don't need to Manyuan Summoned by Servant Shuhu. Because the Miraculous Forger does indeed deprive Manyuan of the ability to summon and revive the Servant Shuhu outside of the live stream," Chen Li explained calmly.
"But... I can't be wrong." Feiying frowned, her hand still pressed against her chest.
She could feel her chest pounding rapidly; it was the resonance of the Ambrosial Arbor, the original body of the Duality Paradise, which was sensing a power of the same origin as itself.
"But I didn't say that Manyuan can't revive the real Shuhu. The Servant Shuhu is Heroic Spirit, but the real Shuhu is still alive, or rather, not quite dead yet." Chen Li nodded and continued.
"Huh? Is that even possible?" March 7th was taken aback.
"After all, Emanator of Path of Abundance are always very difficult to kill." Chen Li nodded, then continued:
"The reason why Shuhu was able to be resurrected this time is because almost the entire population of the city in the Duality Paradise underwent the Happiness Surgery, fusing with Shuhu Cells. The Servant Shuhu was able to be summoned in the first place by using these Shuhu Cells as a medium."
"Although the Servant Shuhu is forbidden by the Miraculous Forger, if the Manyuan is fulfilled properly, it is not impossible to use this medium to revive the real Shuhu. Especially if the Manyuan still possesses Command Spell."
Pearl frowned slightly upon hearing this.
After defeating the Servant Shuhu, Pearl, as the Harbinger, ordered the Anomaly Defense Department to arrest and investigate those who had undergone the Happiness Surgery.
However, after testing, it was found that more than 200,000 patients who had undergone the Happiness Surgery were discovered in Haiyuan City alone.
They can't catch them all, they simply can't catch them all.
Furthermore, since the Holy Grail War was less than a day away from ending, Pearl didn't devote too much energy to it.
After all, who could have imagined that Manyuan would be rescued from his cage by Guiji and once again stir up trouble in the Duality Paradise?
"Huh? You can use Command Spell to Manyuan?" March 7th asked incredulously.
"Isn't this because the Undying Path added a new rule to the Holy Grail War, allowing Masters to use Command Spell on themselves? The Command Spell of Manyuan is stuck on the back of her hand, so why can't she use it?" Chen Li added unhurriedly.
This is definitely not Chen Li's fault, but rather the fault of Undying Path.
Manyuan could concentrate all the Shuhu Cells around himself, then use Command Spell to forcibly awaken the Shuhu nature of the cells, and offer up the 200,000 residents of the Duality Paradise who had been implanted with Shuhu Cells as a source of power.
"This Holy Grail War is full of loopholes!" March 7th couldn't help but complain, crossing his arms and speaking with a tone full of disappointment.
You could have just organized a Holy Grail War.
Please don't go out of character (OOC), okay?
"But don't worry. Manyuan can't cause any trouble. After all... there are professionals here." Chen Li looked up at the planet in the sky through the window of the Parlor Car.
Chen Li's tone remained calm, but it inexplicably reassured everyone.
The next moment, a dazzling beam of light rose from somewhere on the ground in New Penacony, trailing the silver-blue tail characteristic of the Path of the Hunt, piercing the night sky and heading towards Hatopia.
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was torn apart, leaving a straight vacuum trail, and the entire night sky was illuminated as if it were daytime.
"That is..." Pearl's eyes widened slightly.
"It's the Lord of the Hunt of the Xianzhou natives." Feiying subconsciously shrank her neck, her voice carrying a hint of awe.
"Oh! I almost forgot, Fu Xuan's Servant is the Lord of the Hunt, who's also in New Penacony! Isn't that a perfect match!" March 7th clapped her hands and said with a sudden realization.
After all, the Lord of the Hunt detests Abundance Fiends the most.
Whether Feiying should be called Abundance Fiends or Eternal Spiritwood is another matter, but what appears in the Duality Paradise now is a pure Abundance Fiends.
Lord of the Hunt returned to the Holy Grail War battlefield, his Servant, only after smelling the scent of Abundance Fiends in the Duality Paradise. By the time he arrived, the Abundance Fiends had already been defeated.
The Lord of the Hunt was depressed about this for quite some time.
But now, it's time for the Lord of the Hunt to fulfill his dream once again.
"But wouldn't that mean the entire Duality Paradise would be Destruction? That arrow from Lord of the Hunt didn't just hit Shuhu; it could pierce through a planet." Xing stroked his chin, his brows furrowing slightly.
"It doesn't matter, everything will be restored after the Holy Grail War... right?" March 7th waved his hand casually, then, as if suddenly remembering something, he tentatively turned to look at Chen Li.
Everyone instinctively looked at Chen Li.
"Why are you asking me? Ask the Miraculous Forger. But Miraculous Forger hasn't intervened, it should be fine." Chen Li shrugged and said casually.
"Great! Now we don't have to worry about having to use the Shuhu Strike again!" March 7th breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Hard to say." Chen Li suddenly shook his head.
"Huh?" Everyone's hearts jumped instantly, and they almost simultaneously uttered a question that trailed off.
Generally speaking, things start to go wrong when Chen Li says the words "hard to say".
That darn "hard to say" guy!
The moment Chen Li finished speaking, the beam of light that was about to pierce through Hatopia suddenly stopped just millimeters away from the planet's atmosphere.
It's not because the Lord of the Hunt, who hasn't yet become Aeon, lacks the power. The power of the light arrows is still enough to tear apart all Abundance Fiends...
Instead, countless intertwined golden threads emerged from the void, like a meticulously woven celestial net, wrapping the light arrow layer by layer. These threads were fine and dense, each radiating a solemn, faint light, decomposing, absorbing, and dissolving the kinetic energy of the light arrow layer by layer.
The arrow of light trembled violently within the silk threads, then gradually lost its strength, and finally vanished silently into the night sky.
