Press F to Enter Tank

"Is that it?"

Su Yun raised an eyebrow, finding it too simple. He glanced at the right side of the screen, thinking to himself that it was indeed not that easy.

There, a task bar had appeared.

[Eliminate Mystery Calamity: Songstress, current progress: 1/13.]

As the person chosen by the world's consciousness, Su Yun possessed the authority granted to him by the planet, including the right to share intelligence gathered by humanity.

By filtering through the system, Su Yun could instantly identify the Mystery he was encountering—provided it was known to humanity. If no data existed, it would simply display as 'Unknown Mystery.'

As for the progress bar, it was a detection function Su Yun had integrated into the system. After striking a Mystery, he would receive feedback, allowing him to gauge the extent of the damage inflicted.

1/13 meant that Su Yun's previous strike had eliminated one-thirteenth of the Songstress's existence. Total destruction would completely eradicate this Mystery.

Given the strength of the Songstress, finding her and landing twelve more strikes would be enough. However, Su Yun faced a very troublesome problem:

[Fantasy Manifestation: 0:42]

Forty-two seconds, and it was still ticking down—the remaining duration of the Fantasy Manifestation.

This was the issue with Fantasy Manifestation: two thousand points of Fantasy Power could only sustain the manifestation for one minute.

As a modification of reality, it had to withstand reality's correction. Two thousand points of Fantasy Power was the limit for manifesting Saber for one minute, and now, only forty seconds remained.

This amount of time was naturally insufficient.

However, there was a way.

He cast his gaze toward Artoria. Su Yun immediately maneuvered the Maiden Knight to stand before her. The latter, still reeling from the shock, asked nervously, "Um, thank you very much, but... are you... me?"

Maiden Knight: "No time to explain. I'm borrowing your body."

At the same time, text appeared on Su Yun's system screen.

Press [F] to enter.

Su Yun pressed F—after all, it wasn't like pressing F to enter a tank; he felt no psychological resistance at all.

The Maiden Knight's body suddenly turned translucent and then merged into Artoria's.

This scene stunned Artoria, and the girl soon realized she had lost control of her own body.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, her clothes transformed into blue and white armor. Her expression shifted from bewildered to serious, determined, and filled with heroic spirit, as if she had become a completely different person.

This form was exactly that of the Maiden Knight!

Simultaneously, the duration of the Fantasy Manifestation jumped from less than 40 seconds to 372 seconds—the remaining time was multiplied by ten.

Because the Saber Fantasy Manifestation now possessed the most suitable vessel—Artoria herself—the real world's automatic correction of the manifestation had weakened.

Of course, weakened did not mean non-existent. With 372 seconds, roughly six minutes, Su Yun had to eliminate the Mystery Songstress within that window.

Su Yun immediately activated a skill. The Artoria under his control closed her eyes, and a wave of will spread out from her mind. The surrounding scenery instantly turned black and white and became translucent.

At the same time, her field of vision expanded rapidly, soon encompassing the entire Supernatural Disaster Countermeasure Headquarters. It revealed the outlines of many people and twelve red dots representing hostile targets scattered in different locations.

This was one of Artoria's skills: A-rank Instinct, which could be understood as the highest level of sensory ability.

In the original work, Artoria could even use the Instinct skill to reach the level of 'predicting the future' during combat.

Here, the ability Su Yun manifested through Fantasy Power allowed for clear perception of everything within a 500-meter radius, a top-tier detection capability.

What appeared in Su Yun's eyes was exactly this situation.

As for Artoria herself, it was a different experience.

After her body was controlled, Artoria found that she had detached from her own body. To be precise, her perspective had detached, entering the view of a third-person shooter game—a TPS perspective.

The camera was fixed behind the character, showing her entire body from the back, and it rotated along with the character's own field of view.

When the Instinct skill was activated, what Artoria saw was different from Su Yun; she shared the body's senses, so she directly perceived the situation around her.

The feeling was incredibly strange, leaving Artoria deeply shocked, her small eyes filled with immense astonishment.

Then, under Su Yun's control, Artoria's body moved, charging directly up to the next floor.

Coming toward her was a special operations team, heavily armed and dressed primarily in black.

The moment they saw Artoria, the well-trained team members raised their specialized assault rifles.

But upon seeing Artoria's appearance, the group froze. The man who was clearly the captain immediately reported via headset: "Target 'King Arthur' spotted. We are taking her—"

Swish!

Artoria bypassed the group with speed difficult for the human eye to track, combined with an incredible wall-running maneuver, and then dashed to the other side of the corridor, vanishing from sight.

The distance covered was twenty meters, but the process took less than two seconds, leaving the elite operations team stunned on the spot, wondering if their eyes had deceived them.

How could such a person just vanish in a blink?

Meanwhile, the command center was questioning them about the situation, as the report had cut off halfway, which seemed highly abnormal.

The captain had no choice but to explain the situation to his superiors.

On the other side, Artoria had already rushed into another hallway. Here, there were several more corpses, but the Countermeasure Office staff had not been completely wiped out. They were shielding a woman in her thirties and a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl with black twin-tails.

Judging by their seven-point resemblance, they were likely a mother and daughter.

At the same time, there was another individual present who closely resembled the Songstress Artoria had previously slain, clearly another fragment of the Songstress.

"Demon!"

With that cold, piercing voice, the Songstress's killing mechanism triggered, causing terror to wash over everyone on the scene.

Yet, this terror quickly shifted to astonishment, for the Songstress was slashed apart the very next moment. The crowd only felt the person who had charged into the corridor vanish, followed by an explosion of air currents that tore the Songstress to pieces in the wake of that gust.

[Eliminated Mystery Calamity: Songstress, current progress: 2/13.]

[Fantasy Manifestation Sanctuary time: 356 seconds.]

Sixteen seconds later, another Songstress down!

Then, Artoria departed like a gust of wind, leaving the stunned crowd behind.

Because the lights had gone out, the people hadn't actually seen Artoria's appearance clearly; they only saw someone arrive and shatter the Songstress with incredible power.

By the time some regained their senses, a wave of shock surged through their hearts, followed by incomparable excitement.

Because this represented something humanity had been longing for ever since the Mystery Resurgence began.

That is—

The Mystery is no longer indestructible!
