Trait: Super ACE-Class Iron-Blooded Tough Guy

Tag: [Strong], [Tough Guy], [Ace], [Pilot], [Expert], [Singer], [Streamer], [Powerful], [Item Master]

Synopsis: The Mayoral Election in the Asgari City is always a carnival. People visit it like a zoo, watching all sorts of clown-like characters posing and spouting nonsense that no one would believe, and finding amusement in their various grotesque acts.

In such an entertainment program, a man named George Augustus appeared. When he first appeared, people looked at his attention-seeking title and regarded him as yet another clown.

But with the first assassination attempt, everything changed. His overlay exoskeleton allowed him to escape the clutches of countless professionals, and fear never crossed his face.

He is adept at using all sorts of readily available props and making them produce astonishing effects.

He was even able to use a test OS to pilot a machine that was theoretically uncontrollable, fighting against mainstream machines dozens of times larger.

He could overcome any crisis, as if there was nothing he couldn't do.

A clown? No, a powerful one!

Yes, until this moment, in everyone's hearts, only the strong could describe his existence.

Powers: [Execution Song], [Item Master], [Iron-Blooded Tough Guy], [ACE-Class Pilot]

Real World Rules: [Mayoral Election]

Companion Phantom: [Mech-World], [Buffer Ball]

After handing over the Preservative Film ball containing the "Gambling Ghost" and the OS data of [the world] to Konstantin Company, Mr. George finally had a chance to take a look at the Supernatural Tale Entry he had just created.

Although, given the internet's memory in this world, he thought this thing was probably another gluttonous creature that needed long-term support from other Trait, after seeing its powers, he felt it was still worth nurturing.

Thanks to his sudden inspiration to showcase his singing voice, the power of "Execution Song" was finally formed. This thing isn't particularly strong, but it's very versatile. As long as you play the background music during battle, it can provide a boost. The amount isn't important; what's important is that this thing is an extra multiplier, and it can link with Kamen Rider's "Meme Power Buff." Just by carrying a speaker around, you can increase your strength. Such a cheap boost is still a lot, no matter how little it is.

The [Item Master] ability is a divine skill that can be used as the core of combat. It is similar to the ability [Knight Never Died Empty-Handed], which can "conceptualize" or "Phantomatization" any item picked up on the roadside. As long as the miscellaneous Miscellaneous Item are assimilated by this ability, they will immediately be given characteristics similar to "setting is everything".

For example, Buffer Ball originally used for emergency parachute landings could be transformed to cushion supersonic impacts; or the foaming gel used in car accident preparedness could be used to cool rocket launchers...

Of course, it's not that it can actually turn anything into Phantom Object. First, the items it assimilates don't have the indestructibility of Phantom Object. Second, they must be "Miscellaneous Item and ends picked up casually," not "prepared items." In other words, only by using readily available materials can the power of this ability be unleashed.

In a sense, Feng Xue's main stage has now shifted to the Furniture City...

Compared to the other powers Feng Xue possesses, the [Iron-Blooded Tough Guy] power seems very singular, but the purer the power, the more exaggerated it often is.

The power of "[Iron-Blooded Tough Guy]" embodies this law. Its function is very simple and pure. In short, it is the interpretation of a tough guy in American individualistic action movies. No matter how badly injured he is, as long as it is not fatal, he can run and jump around, spit, and continue fighting.

This thing is practically like an invincibility cheat; as long as Feng Xue doesn't suffer a "fatal" injury as widely recognized, the power allows him to ignore the pain and various negative effects of the injury.

For example, if an ordinary person loses their hand, they will lose their balance and their Combat Power will be greatly reduced. However, once this power is activated, apart from losing a hand to hold a weapon, there is almost no other impact.

To put it bluntly, even if he were to have his limbs amputated from the waist down, he could run at the speed of someone with all four limbs intact using only his hands, and might even run faster due to the weight loss...

At the same time, this thing also comes with a recovery effect. As long as you don't die, and after a treatment that looks "okay," you can wake up completely recovered, well, maybe with a few extra scars or something.

To draw an analogy, it's like Riki-Oh's character who, after his tendons are severed, can tie a knot and continue punching—well, that kind of treatment isn't really reliable either.

However, upon closer examination, it seems that unreliable treatments in American action movies are the norm, and injuries that actually reduce a person's Combat Power, like John Wick's, are actually rare.

Of course, power is not invincible, and it does have its drawbacks, namely that it is limited to "non-fatal wounds".

The "fatal" here does not refer to injuries that are truly enough to kill Feng Xue, but rather to what is "widely recognized" as fatal, such as a piercing of the heart, a hole in the head, or a slit throat. Even if Feng Xue were to acquire an ability similar to immortality in the future, this ability would still be rendered ineffective if she suffered such an injury.

Conversely, fatal injuries that are not conventionally recognized (such as massive bleeding, kidney injury, or pancreatic rupture) may be identified as non-fatal by the authorities.

This is the weakness that powers influenced by cognition inevitably bear.

As for the last one, [ACE-Class Pilot], there's not much to say about it. It's a rather boring ability; basically, it's just the ability to pilot "any single-person vehicle that requires a pilot."

One person can't possibly operate an aircraft carrier, but as long as a weapon can be operated, it can be used to its full theoretical potential, which is a considerable advantage.

For this thing to be truly powerful, it actually needs to be used in conjunction with Companion Phantom.

It's raining, the temperature has dropped, and I feel terrible. That's all for today's chapter.
