God Slayer
After pondering his own problems, Li Yu decided to wait until he was 99% certain before going to find Nangong Natsuki. He figured it would only take a while, so Li Yu wasn't in a hurry.
Moreover, Nangong Natsuki didn't say when Li Yu and the others would arrive. The ones who should be worried are not Li Yu, but his classmates.
Thinking of those classmates who are currently engaged in fierce competition, Li Yu's lips curled into a slight smile. "Good luck to you all. I hope you can make it in time; otherwise, it'll be troublesome."
However, things always take unexpected turns. The next day, Nangong Natsuki directly announced the time when everyone would be heading to the other world.
"Next, I have something to tell you. Your class monitor should have already told you. A new world is waiting for you to explore. Those who haven't reached the Fifth Tier before summer vacation, stay behind. That means your time is running out." As soon as Nangong Natsuki finished speaking, the students in the class let out a series of groans.
There's only one month left until summer vacation, which means everyone has one month to get stronger. Is that enough time?
Some classmates groaned, while others' eyes lit up. Asuna and her friends breathed a sigh of relief because Asuna's progress was also quite good.
A month is enough time for her to break through to the Fifth Tier, so she's no longer worried. As for the others, well, good luck to them.
"Teacher Nangong, I request to leave school to gain experience!" Xia Yu raised her hand and stood up without hesitation. She wanted to go out and fight monsters. Her cultivation was too slow. Since that was the case, she might as well go back and continue her adventure in the Dungeon.
It has to be said that Xia Yu is quite the clever one. As soon as she finished speaking, many people in the class lit up. They all still had Falna on them, and if they wanted to level up quickly, wouldn't it be better to go to the Dungeon to level up?
"No problem. Anyone who wants to go, just apply to me, and I'll give you time off in advance." Xia Yu's words were not rejected by Nangong Natsuki; instead, the other party agreed.
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. They could apply in advance? If that was the case, they certainly wouldn't hold back!
Li Yu glanced at his classmates. He knew that the class would be on holiday soon, and these guys would be going to raid Dungeon, since that was the only way for everyone to quickly improve their strength.
"Yay!!" The crowd cheered immediately. As long as they were given a chance, they were confident they could reach Iv5. They might hate training, but could they really hate slaying monsters?
"Fine, you can decide for yourselves. If you want to leave school early, come to my office later." Nangong Natsuki interrupted them, then looked towards Li Yu.
Li Yu happened to look up and meet her gaze when he heard Nangong Natsuki say, "Li Yu, come with me. I have something to tell you."
After saying this, Nangong Natsuki turned and walked out. Although Li Yu was a little surprised, he quickly got up and followed her. He wondered what Nangong Natsuki wanted to say to him.
When they reached the outside of the corridor, Nangong Natsuki looked at Li Yu and said, "You're almost ready to break through, right?"
How much experience do I still need?
She asked Li Yu about his experience points in the simplest terms, as she could sense that Li Yu was just a little bit short of reaching his goal.
"5%, I plan to contact you again when there's a 99% chance." Li Yu understood what Nangong Natsuki wanted to do as soon as she asked about it.
"There's no need for that. This is enough. I'll go prepare and let you know later!" Nangong Natsuki rolled her eyes. Actually, it didn't need to reach that much. 95% was already sufficient.
"So what do you want me to do next?" Li Yu was a little curious. What was he going to do with Apollo's body? Was he going to have his blood transfused? If so, Li Yu felt a little uneasy!
"It will only benefit you and not harm you. Just wait and see. Later, go and count how many people in the class are going to the training. You don't need to go this time. Just give me the list later." Nangong Natsuki said this and then disappeared from the spot.
Seeing the other person's mysterious demeanor, Li Yu became even more curious. After thinking for a moment, Li Yu shook his head and decided not to think about it anymore. He turned around and walked into the classroom, then Li Yu straight to the podium.
Seeing Li Yu's actions, everyone quieted down. Their boss was about to speak, so they quickly pricked up their ears to listen!
"That Natsuki-chan said the people who are going to train came to me and asked me to compile a list. I think everyone will be willing to give up, right? If anyone wants to give up, raise your hand. If not, I'll say the whole class!" Li Yu asked directly.
Hilarious! Compiling a list? There's no need to compile one at all. Just send in the entire class roster, everyone in the class together!!
As Li Yu expected, not a single person in the class wanted to ask for leave; everyone wanted to participate. Seeing that no one raised their hand, Li Yu nodded. He remembered what Nangong Natsuki left, and immediately said, "Then everyone except me will go. I understand."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned. Li Yu wasn't going? What was going on? Everyone was somewhat shocked, Asuna looked at her boyfriend with suspicion.
Asuna's doubts were quickly voiced by Yukino: "Aren't you going?"
"Well, Natsuki-chan has something else to discuss with me, so I won't be participating this time. You guys can go on your own, just stick to your usual groups." After saying that, Li Yu looked at the students in the class.
He then thought of Bell and Haruhime. If Haruhime went with everyone, it would undoubtedly be safer, and there wouldn't be any problem even if they went deeper into the fray.
After all, Haruhime's True Magic support is too good, especially now that Haruhime's level has increased, she can buff the entire team, which has a significant impact on the battle.
"You guys bring Haruhime and Bell along. Later I'll go find Hestia and ask her to get some more Divine Blood to replenish everyone's strength. Let's all try to break through to the Fifth Tier. We should be able to get some benefits from the new world!" Li Yu began to make arrangements for everyone.
He just didn't want anyone to be absent this time. Although the specific details of the situation over there were still unclear, a group fight would be really fun if the whole class went together!
Even more so, that world possesses the infinite magic power that Yun Shu Shuxin longs for, but obtaining infinite magic power is not so easy; one wrong move and you might be directly assimilated.
Besides that... things like the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception are also very good. Moreover, Li Yu remembered that some Mystic Eyes can be transferred. After all, since they can be auctioned off, they can be transferred to other people to some extent.
Hearing that Li Yu had other matters to attend to, everyone was curious, but no one inquired further. Although it was a pity that he wasn't going, if he brought Haruhime and the others along, they could really kill indiscriminately.
Not to mention Ais and the others are there. With this class, they can keep going even if they have to fight their way down. I just wonder what level the Dungeon has been reached by now?
The matter was settled. This group of people would spend a month in the Dungeon, and then come back here. Whether they could reach level 5 in that month would depend on their own efforts.
After arranging these things, everyone went to class. At lunchtime Asuna asked Li Yu curiously, "What are you going to do next?"
Li Yu's lack of participation in everyone's training puzzled her greatly; she didn't quite understand what he planned to do.
"I'm about to break through to the Sixth Tier, Natsuki-chan has something for me to do, which is a good thing!" Li Yu didn't go into details; those who know, know.
Asuna was taken aback. He broke through so quickly? She was even more puzzled, but seeing that Li Yu didn't seem to know what to do either, she didn't ask any more questions.
Li Yu sent the list directly to Nangong Natsuki at noon. Everyone else was going except for him, and Bell Haruhime were also included.
After doing all this, Li Yu sent a message to Hestia, asking her to come over that evening to help everyone update the panel.
Speaking of Hestia, he's completely immersed in the ocean of knowledge right now, spending all his time reading in the library and too lazy to even go out and play.
This is like throwing a mouse into a rice bin; by the time she comes out for a stroll, Hestia will probably know all the books in the library by heart. Calling Hestia the goddess of the Hearth Goddess; she's more like the goddess of knowledge.
The message was sent, and she replied immediately, saying she would definitely come over that evening. She hadn't seen everyone for a while, and this was a good opportunity to meet them all; she had been too engrossed in reading lately.
After finishing these tasks, Li Yu and the others returned to their dormitory to rest. They then continued their classes in the afternoon. Hestia arrived in the evening and began updating the Falna Panels for the students.
After doing all this, Hestia stayed in the dormitory for a while before leaving. The next day, everyone skipped classes, packed their things, and left the school to head to the Dungeon, leaving Li Yu alone at the school.
After all the classmates left, Nangong Natsuki came straight to the door and said, "Come on, follow me, I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, she used spatial Teleportation Magic to take Li Yu away from the dormitory. When they reappeared, they were directly in a huge altar.
Looking at the situation here, Li Yu was somewhat puzzled. The Magic Array below looked incredibly complex, and many of the arrays were ones that Li Yu had never encountered before.
"See that coffin? Throw Apollo's body in it, then sit on the altar. After that, you can meditate or do whatever you want, just don't leave the altar." Nangong Natsuki quickly explained the precautions to Li Yu.
Hearing this, he asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's this for? Is it to use Apollo's body?"
Li Yu was still somewhat puzzled as to what the altar in front of him was for, and why it had to be performed at this time.
"This is an altar that allows you to seize Apollo's Authorities without any side effects, directly converting Apollo's power into your own." Nangong Natsuki didn't hide anything and explained the altar's function.
"Seize the power of the God... God Slayer?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Was that right? This was an altar used to reincarnate God Slayer!
"That's right, it's the God Slayer. I have to say you're really lucky. Not only did you kill Apollo without taking any damage, but you also brought back his body." Nangong Natsuki couldn't help but feel envious.
Others who kill gods are cursed by them, but Li Yu was not. In that world Apollo was killed without any warning, and even his body was brought back.
The opponent's power was sealed within their body, preventing them from returning to the Heavenly Realm. It can only be said that everything was too coincidental, coincidence beyond belief.
Even if others wanted to replicate it, it would probably be very difficult to do so. There can only be one cycle in a world. After Apollo was killed by Li Yu, the world that was destined to remain vigilant became wary.
If they want to kill a new God, it probably won't be so easy. The moment the opponent is attacked, they'll probably break the seal on themselves and retaliate. Nobody wants to become the second Apollo.
After Nangong Natsuki's explanation, Li Yu gained a general understanding of the Magic Array in front of him, which was to reincarnate Li Yu as God Slayer without any side effects.
Li Yu can obtain all of Apollo's Authorities, and even... Divinity. In addition, he has special abilities to attack God. Because of the special nature of this Magic Array, if one's strength is insufficient, one cannot withstand the other's Authorities. However, Li Yu is currently in a perfect position.
When Li Yu obtains Apollo's Authorities, his strength will undergo a qualitative change, and he may even directly skip the Sixth Tier and break through to the Seventh Tier. He can use the Authorities he obtains as he pleases, just like his own ability.
"I understand, all I have to do is put the body in, right? I wonder how long it will take for the transformation to be complete?" Li Yu was also intrigued at this point.
No wonder Principal Hu let me keep my body; what a great thing! I have to do it; becoming a God Slayer is awesome, right?
"It will take some time. After all, our altar is a modified version, not the original. If it were the original, it could be completed instantly, and this time the divine body would be intact." Nangong Natsuki couldn't give an exact answer as to how long it would take.
After all, she had never been God Slayer, and the God Slayer she knew rarely reincarnated here. They all reincarnated on the spot after killing a god in that world, and this altar was a replica of that one.
Hearing Nangong Natsuki say this, Li Yu felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't think about it any further. He walked over and stuffed Apollo's body into the coffin.
When Li Yu opened the coffin, he also glanced at the arrays inside; they were densely packed with arrays used for decomposition.
The array for absorption and transformation... After a moment of internal monologue, Li Yu stuffed Apollo's body into it like trash.
After doing all this, Li Yu walked to the center of the altar. Seeing this, Nangong Natsuki continued, "From now on, stay here and don't leave. I'll bring you three meals a day. As for going to the toilet, use True Magic to take care of it yourself."
After giving her instructions, Nangong Natsuki disappeared from the spot, leaving Li Yu speechless. With her departure, the place became empty and so quiet that Li Yu's breathing could be heard.
Li Yu simply lay down. As long as he didn't leave, he could do whatever he wanted. So Li Yu closed his eyes and began to meditate.
About half an hour later, the surrounding Magic Array began to react. If Li Yu had observed carefully, he would have noticed that the body of Apollo that he had placed in the coffin had begun to bleed.
Without the restraint of the Space Ring, the wound pierced by Li Yu Origin to flow continuously with golden blood, which directly activated the Magic Array inside the coffin.
As the Magic Array inside was activated, the other Magic Array were also activated. In the blink of an eye, all the Magic Array attached to this underground space were lit up, and Divine Power continued to spread.
Li Yu, who was meditating, slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the fully activated Magic Array, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It had already begun?
Just as he was thinking this, Li Yu felt a pure power begin to flow into his body. The power within him began to boil, transforming into a new kind of power.
Upon discovering this, Li Yu's eyes lit up. The fusion of magic Kazuma saved Li Yu some effort, and now this power was beginning to be imbued with Divinity?
Sensing the power that was gradually changing, Li Yu was certain of this. His power was indeed transforming into Divine Power, and his strength was slowly increasing. It was as if Li Yu was practicing auto-training!
Li Yu stopped thinking about anything else and closed his eyes to enter a meditative state, completely abandoning all distracting thoughts to begin his cultivation. He was now increasingly looking forward to what he would gain next.
Nangong Natsuki was standing in a room watching Li Yu's situation. Besides her, Principal Hu, Yor, and several powerful figures were also by her side.
"I'm increasingly looking forward to him reaching that point. A flawless God Slayer, truly enviable!" One of the women, dressed in a cheongsam and possessing stunning beauty, looked down at Li Yu with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
Li Yu was not cursed by any God, and the divine body he obtained had complete Authorities. When Li Yu obtained everything Apollo had, he could be considered another Apollo.
"He'll only go further than us. All we need to do now is protect him. We'll have a good talk with them in the next world, and then we'll send those kids over to complete their upgrades." Principal Hu turned his gaze away and began to give instructions to everyone.
The reincarnation ceremony has officially begun; all that's left is to wait quietly for the results. They have other matters to attend to here, so they don't plan to stay any longer.
Hearing Principal Hu's words, everyone nodded and left without lingering. In the end, only Nangong Natsuki and Principal Hu remained in the same spot!
