Is This the Same Type of Power?
"Holy crap! What kind of martial art is this? A rain of flowers? Scattered like stars?"
Tong Xin, sitting in front of the monitor, had completely forgotten that he had only eaten half of his takeout; he practically pressed his glasses against the screen.
What might be a fleeting flash of Golden Light that foreigners need to replay to see clearly is, in the eyes of the Yan people, a series of graceful trajectories.
He could clearly see that the dozens of Miscellaneous Item, like sentient birds, each traced a different trajectory as they pounced towards the School Uniform Supernatural Tale.
The Weird Tale, whose style had completely changed, pulled out a baseball bat with rivets from somewhere and swung it hard, hitting the first Adjustable Wrench that came in front of it with a home run.
The moment the baseball bat made contact with the Adjustable Wrench, a sonic boom exploded, and the bandages wrapped around the Weird Tale's arm burst open with the force. Even without narration, it was clear from the camera's lens that the Weird Tale had used all his strength to knock the ghost away with this blow.
The Adjustable Wrench transformed into stars in the sky, while the remaining Miscellaneous Item was already close at hand.
Having suffered a loss Weird Tale's arms trembled, and he naturally dared not accept the attack again. He immediately turned and ran away, but the dozens of Miscellaneous Item seemed to have a life of their own, chasing after Weird Tale from all directions.
The Weird Tale accelerated, and the protagonist pulled out various items from his school uniform and threw them out, attempting to use them as decoys to intercept the hidden weapons behind him.
Such a tense and intense chase takes place within a few seconds; only those with exceptional dynamic vision can clearly see everything that happens under the lens of a high-speed camera.
Viewers who could only watch the video in slow motion only saw a flash of Golden Light, and then the Weird Tale appeared twenty meters away, with the host standing right in front of him, grabbing his neck.
"Not bad, much better than I expected."
Feng Xue held the Weird Tale in front of her with one hand, and her invisible Gu Poison Body shattered the equally invisible blue phantom of the other party.
Only now did he finally realize what had happened to this Weird Tale before him.
Actually, this is the trump card.
Feng Xue herself also has one.
The only difference is that Feng Xue's trump card is called [Martial God], while this Weird Tale possesses powers such as [School Uniform], [Delinquent], or [Bancho].
Decades ago, this power would have been useless, but today, with the baja clan becoming a symbolic element of ACG culture, such a power can be used to borrow many strange and wonderful abilities.
This only reduces the probability of the Progenitor Supernatural Tale reviving within the body.
Judging from the way this Weird Tale is now in a state of mental confusion, it probably won't be long before it becomes Weird Tale called something like "[School Uniform Banchō]".
"However, it's still limited by the power of [consciousness], at least this Evil Spirit didn't manage to pull any tricks like time stop for me."
Feng Xue maintained the pose of "Atomic Samurai's most hated painting number one (Note ①)". Although he was 1.85 meters tall, he still presented a considerable contrast compared to the Strong Man he was carrying, who had swollen to more than two meters.
"That was close! Looks like I'm still a little bit stronger than you." Feng Xue exaggeratedly said, making a gesture as if she had lost the Korean market. As soon as she said this, more and more people labeled her as a "weakling," "noob," and "overestimating Overestimating Oneself" gathered around this Boss Supernatural Tale.
The once blazing Supernatural Tale Fire, after being fueled with a large amount of fuel, grew weaker and weaker, appearing as if it might be extinguished at any moment.
No, it did indeed go out with a pop.
Then, this Weird Tale, which Feng Xue had grabbed by the neck and lifted up, transformed into a large amount of [consciousness] and disappeared into the air.
"Uh..." Feng Xue was also slightly stunned. This was the first time he had ever seen such a way of dying. At this moment, he realized that in addition to being killed by exhaustion of [consciousness] and being killed in a physiological sense, the Weird Tale could also self-destruct due to the conflict between the Supernatural Tale Fire and the [consciousness] targeting them.
However, after learning this, Feng Xue did not have much negative emotion. After all, this was a drawback that only occurred with single-genre ghost Weird Tale. In comparison, it was hard to imagine that he, a master of Create Memes with more than 100 Trait, could have all his Supernatural Tale Entry simultaneously receive the opposite perception.
A fleeting moment of surprise crossed his mind, and he immediately adopted a confident expression, saying to the live stream camera:
"It seems that these Martial Arts Type Weird Tale disappear on their own after someone is defeated. I was just having a headache about how to end this, since it's really hard to kill something that looks like a human... Alright, the accident is resolved, let's continue the tour of the Eastern Kingdom..."
Inside Phantom Object [God Gathering], the Hundred Tales Weird Tale, who had been urgently summoned, sat in their seats, watching Hundred-Eyed Demon, the one who had initiated the gathering. As the "eye" of the entire Hundred Tales, it usually appeared very lazy and rarely attended most meetings, and when it did appear, it was usually in a clone.
The fact that she was asked to issue the summons this time made everyone look quite nervous.
"What is it?" After most of the people had arrived, the young man with the huge bone horns spoke first. Upon hearing this, Hundred-Eyed Demon immediately replied:
"A Yan citizen just killed the [chieftain]."
"People from Yan? Those Kamen Rider from Kanagawa?" Because of "historical reasons," Great Tengu voice was still slightly off-key, frowned, while Hundred-Eyed Demon shook his head and said:
"No, it was a streamer who came on vacation and defeated [the lord] using martial arts."
"Just for this?" Many Weird Tale frowned. Although the [Bancho] was one of those with great potential and Combat Power, it shouldn't have been enough for Hundred-Eyed Demon to use the summoning order if he was just beaten to death.
Seeing Hundred-Eyed Demon wanted to explain, but the woman in the first seat, wearing a demon mask and dressed in blue, raised her arm to stop her and then spoke directly:
"The focus is not on the death of the [gang leader]."
As she spoke, she took out a scroll from the wide sleeves of her kimono. As the scroll slowly unfurled, images of various demons appeared. However, those with keen eyes noticed that a small section was missing in a certain spot.
"That's right, the [Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Picture] has decreased for the first time. The Weird Tale of [Bancho] has completely disappeared from the book. As for whether it can be reassembled, I don't know."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire God Gathering fell completely silent. Even the slightest sound of clothes rubbing together disappeared, leaving only a deathly stillness.
The silence lasted for more than a minute before the woman with nine beast tails behind her finally spoke:
What exactly happened?
"That person defeated [the leader] while the entire internet was broadcasting live."
Hundred-Eyed Demon gave a concise answer, but everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. Live broadcasts were not uncommon in the Eastern Kingdom; in fact, they even encouraged live broadcasts to promote Weird Tale. Therefore, it was not uncommon for Weird Tale to end during live broadcasts.
However, this is the first time since the creation of the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of a Hundred Demons Picture Hundred Tales) that a fully formed Weird Tale has disappeared from it.
This involves the fundamental interests of Hundred Tales.
