Orca Martial God
Trait: Orca Martial God
Tag: [Orca], [Martial Arts], [Master], [Strong Person], [Hermit], [Rōnin], [Chivalrous Hero]
Synopsis: Since ancient times, the Yan Kingdom has had legends of Chivalrous Hero, but with the progress of the times, the stories of Chivalrous Hero have gradually become just tales in stories and novels, and almost no one regards the legendary superb Martial Arts as real.
Until one day, a disheveled and unkempt homeless man cut the Yangtze River in half with a pillow in order to send an ambulance across, and that long-buried memory was awakened again in the hearts of every Yan citizen.
Chivalry has never left, and martial arts have never disappeared.
People did not know the knight's name, so they used the object he held in his hand as his title.
Its name is: Orca Martial God.
It is said that this Hermit master is now measuring the earth on foot. Some also claim that he has taken in several disciples, which has driven countless people crazy. However, whether they will be able to get what they want remains unknown.
Powers: [Hermit], [God of War], [Orca]
Real World Rules: [Act of Chivalry], [Chance Encounter]
"That bastard Old Li actually told me this was an essential element? Where's his face?" Feng Xue looked at the description of the Trait that made him blush, but his gaze was fixed on the [Hermit] ability.
Its function is simple: to make the target "less conspicuous." Of course, this inconspicuousness can be used not only on oneself, but also, as Old Li did for his dormitory, to make a mansion look like an ordinary shipping container from the outside.
Compared to this power, which can be considered a side effect in the world of Weird Tale, [Martial God] is much more powerful.
In short, this is a "deity".
It's not the kind of divine status that grants godhood in Western fantasy, but rather, as the name suggests, "The qualification to become a god."
As a recognized "God of War," Feng Xue can draw upon the power of various Gods of War from mythology through this authority. Among those Feng Xue can clearly sense now are Grand White Star, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Ares, Thor, Rahu, Chiyou, and many others. Among those he cannot yet touch, he has even sensed the names of Emperor Gouchen, Doumu Yuanjun, Indra, Odin, and many others.
However, Feng Xue dared not touch this power at all. Let alone those names that sent chills down his spine just by glancing at them, even those names that seemed within reach filled him with a strong sense of crisis.
That was the keen senses bestowed upon it by the assassin's Tag, a warning coming from within.
This also made Feng Xue realize that if he dared to absorb these powers, it would likely cause the corresponding concepts to be activated soon, and then there would probably be terrible consequences such as the resurgence of Innate Supernatural Tale within his body.
However, not all [Martial Gods] are untouchable, because not every Martial God is invincible. Compared to the importance that Yan Kingdom, Ancient Sargonic, White Elephant and other countries place on Martial Gods, the world's unique elven god-worshipping civilization—Eastern Kingdom—clearly has a different understanding.
Yes, it's the Eastern Kingdom again. At least among those star-like points of light, Feng Xue found many tiny creatures barely breathing. These were also Martial Gods, but they all came from the Eastern Kingdom.
Through simple exploration, he discovered that these so-called war gods were often just "Imaginary God" worshipped by anywhere from a few dozen to a hundred people.
Simply put, a small village longs for a "god of war" to protect them from the ravages of war, so they build a stone shrine and offer some tributes on festivals, which is how they become a god of war.
Such a martial god would be difficult to form in other regions, but the Eastern Kingdom is a little different.
Just as every Yan citizen was endowed with the aptitude for martial arts under the Weird Tale that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts," the entire Eastern Kingdom was shrouded in a "cultural Weird Tale" called "Everything Can Become a God."
Perhaps it was precisely because of the influence of this kind of cultural Weird Tale that the initial role-playing of Hundred Tales was so easy, but it was also this ease that made it too late for them to turn back when they realized they had gone astray.
"Even pioneers can't always be ahead of the curve." After pondering for a moment, Feng Xue gave up the idea of absorbing the Divine Power right now. Although he should be able to easily digest the Innate Supernatural Tale of dozens or hundreds of people, it would be a bit presumptuous to absorb more things when he hadn't even ignited his own Weird Tale imprint yet.
As for the last [Orca] ability, Feng Xue felt it had a somewhat comedic feel to it. Simply put, it's an ability that can add an "orca skin" to any item.
Feng Xue took out the Disassembly Madonna, and with a thought, the sword hilt transformed into the shape of a goofy orca. With a flick of his wrist, the originally round and plump Mindless Divine Power instantly transformed into a semi-transparent orca. As he slightly rose, even his clothes changed to a design similar to that of a certain deep-sea hunter, mimicking an orca.
Feng Xue suddenly thought that if there were an Arknights in this world in the future, maybe Han Wudi would be seen as her gender-modified version?
"What kind of lame joke is that?!"
Feng Xue rolled his eyes and immediately deactivated the power. Then he suddenly realized that this power... damn it, it had actually covered up "Unruly Fashion"!
"Does the priority of power take precedence over that of Phantom Object?"
Feng Xue switched her appearance again, somewhat puzzled, before realizing that the boost to her aura from the Unruly Fashion was still in effect.
The so-called Orca Authority are nothing more than an appearance.
"Phew, thank goodness it was an orca. I can't even imagine what I would be like now if I had drawn a pink fluffy rabbit!" Feng Xue muttered to herself with lingering fear, but she wasn't surprised by the two Real World Rules of [Act of Chivalry] and [Chance Encounter].
The [Act of Chivalry] rules are similar to the [Injustice] rules of Libra - Oath Keeper, but with a wider range of judgments and slightly higher time limits.
In other words, it can only occur in the "present continuous tense".
The [Chance Encounter] is even more magical. To put it simply, it's a "random teleportation spell." Feng Xue can choose to descend at any time and any place, but she can't be sure of her location at all. The only certainty is that she will definitely appear within the territory of Yan Kingdom, and it will definitely be accessible to humans, and there will indeed be public areas for Yan Kingdom people nearby.
In other words, he might even appear directly at an altitude of 10,000 meters and have a Chance Encounter with a bewildered fighter pilot.
"The future looks promising, but it doesn't seem to have much effect right now... However, it seems we're one step closer to being included in textbooks."
Feng Xue smiled smugly, feeling he was one step closer to making a name for himself in history. But just as he was contemplating whether to write a biography and have it officially published, his foolish apprentice's voice suddenly came from beside him—
"Master? Was I seeing things? Your clothes..."
"True Intent Takes Form, do you understand? Once you've condensed your Martial Way Will, you can do it too!"
The fact that the protagonist is at a disadvantage in his dealings with the authorities... that was intentional.
In Go, there is the concept of giving a handicap or even a piece advantage. This is not just about showing humility to the Weak Person, but also about maintaining a relative balance in the "influence" of both sides. If the influence cannot be balanced, the game itself cannot be established.
The same applies to cooperation. If the authorities take an overly proactive or even aggressive approach, it will naturally create a sense of pressure, which may cause the authorities to have a stress response, which is detrimental to cooperation. Conversely, if you make yourself appear slightly weaker and show a sense of "even if I am very strong, I still have to ask you for help", the authorities will relax a bit.
Even though both are transactions, the feeling of being forced to accept something versus being begged to accept it is completely different, isn't it?
