Possession Awakening / The Strength of the Fifth Realm

The prayer master thought about it and agreed. Since the other party was willing to take the risk, there was no need to stop them. In any case, they weren't from the Mist Valley, and she had already fulfilled her responsibility to warn them.

You Zhi and Jasmine didn't want to waste another month waiting here, so they acted immediately and quickly arrived at a location where they could see the Worm Zero.

"I'll use the Cyber End Dragon to attract your attention."

"Let's switch to a regular Cyber Dragon. If it can't hold up, the backlash from Ten-Star spiritual power is no joke."

"That's true."

Jasmine readily agreed. Her mission this time wasn't combat, and the elf used as bait would likely be taken out by a single energy blast from the enemy.

You Zhi gazed at the Worm Zero in the distance and began to warm up.

Chapter 155 Possessed Awakening

"I didn't realize it from a distance, but now that I'm up close, this thing is really big."

You Zhi looked up at the Worm Zero hanging in the air not far away, estimating that the thing was about the same size as the Bird's Nest Stadium.

"Yes, bigger doesn't necessarily mean stronger, but it can withstand more damage."

Jasmine had originally planned to use destructive Spell Card to attack, but after seeing the opponent's size in person, she had to abandon that idea.

Actual combat is not Card Duel. For example, if You Zhi uses the Spell Card "Hammer Shot," the summoned wooden mallet may break through the opponent's defense, but it won't cause much damage. It's like an ordinary person getting pricked by a splinter. Not to mention that Worm Zero has a certain regenerative ability and can quickly consume the Worms in its body to recover from its injuries. Only by inflicting a lot of damage in a short period of time can it be eliminated.

Ignoring the distinction between combat damage and effect damage, the vast majority of Spell Card deal less damage than a single Eternal Evolution Burst from Cyber End Dragon.

You Zhi estimated, "If a hundred trainers used 'Dark Hole' simultaneously, they should be able to destroy it."

Unlike other Spell Card that are easily interrupted, such as the wooden mallet summoned by "Hammer Shot" being destroyed and rendered useless, the effect of "Dark Hole" is to directly summon a black vortex that devours everything at the target location. There is basically no way to interrupt it, making it virtually invincible against stationary targets.

As a B-rank Spell Card, "Dark Hole" is often more practical than A-rank destruction Spell Card, so it's understandable that it's so popular.

As the two were talking, the Worm Zero seemed to sense hostility and immediately reacted, with several Worms crawling out of its body and rushing towards the two.

According to intelligence, the Worm Zero has two attack ranges. One is to spray black shockwaves, which have a wide range, but only enemies that it perceives as a serious threat can benefit from this attack, as it consumes a lot of energy and is therefore not used lightly. The other is to release silk threads to entangle and bind enemies, which has a narrower range and can only be triggered when enemies enter within a hundred meters.

If You Zhi is currently a hundred meters away, posing a certain threat to the Worm Zero, but not enough to trigger a shockwave, it will resort to a third method of response—summoning its minions to attack.

However, You Zhi did not summon any Pokémon to fight, because someone else did it for him.

"Inari Fire, use Flame Wheel!"

"Demon Beaver, use the Earth Power!"

"Xiao Long, use Air Cutter!"

"Wattgiraffe, use Thunder Punch!"

Four Elemental Charmer their power to control elves, intercepted the Worms. They were very familiar with the enemy's weaknesses and, after a fierce battle, annihilated them all.

You Zhi said to the four people, "Thank you."

Hiita the Fire Charmer waved her hand and said, "Don't be polite now. We can't handle those big guys, we can only deal with these minions. Let's save you some energy."

Wind Spirit Envoy Wynn said, "Even setting aside the matter of saving lives, dealing with invaders is the duty of all planetary inhabitants."

The remaining two nodded in agreement.

Without interference, You Zhi was able to observe the Worm Zero in peace, constantly moving around the giant Cocoon. Jasmine summoned the Cyber Dragon Vier to protect him and deal with any escapees that had not been stopped by the Four Charmers.

The Worm Zero continuously dispatched Worms, producing only small numbers each time. Although the Four Charmers struggled to cope and even had to use magic to join the battle, they ultimately managed to hold them off.

The group didn't seek more help, because if there were too many of them, the Worm Zero might launch a shockwave. So even the Allied Forces soldiers kept their distance and dared not surround the enemy.

After observing the area, You Zhi stopped, but did not rush to make a move, letting the Worm Zero send its subordinates to their deaths.

Because producing Worms consumes energy, if Worm Zero continues to do this, he wouldn't mind abandoning the original plan and taking over from the Four Charmers wear down the opponent until all of their energy is depleted.

However, Worm Zero was clearly aware of this, and stopped production when it discovered that the Worms it sent out could not eliminate the threat.

Just when everyone thought the enemy had given up on this suicide tactic, Worm Zero produced a new Worms, and an even more powerful superior Worms. In addition to the Irokin Worm and Illidan Worm we had seen before, there was another completely new individual.

[Vorold Worm (6-star) Light]

[Lineage: Bug, Fighting-type]

[Level: 30]

[Attack Power: 2350 (2350)]

[Defense Strength: 1800 (1800)]

[Reptile-Type, Effect: Negates the effects of effect monsters destroyed by battle. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can attack once more.]

"This is Worms I've never seen before! It's still evolving!" Jasmine exclaimed in surprise. "Indeed, we can't wait another month, or who knows what kind of powerful Worms it will evolve into."

"Realizing that the lower-level Worms cannot eliminate us, they sent out more powerful Worms. The logic is sound; the only question is whether this was an impromptu response or a pre-programmed reaction."

After a moment's thought, You Zhi turned to the four girls and said, "How are you feeling? If you're tired, feel free to leave it to us."

He worried that the four of them wouldn't be able to deal with the higher-level Worms. If they were in good condition, they would have a fighting chance, but the previous battles had also depleted a lot of their spiritual energy.

Hiita patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, since we promised to deal with the enemy's disturbance, how can we give up halfway?"

Eria the Water Charmer also said, "Don't worry, we haven't stood still either. After going through this series of battles, we've all grown to some extent."

The four exchanged glances, a hint of wanting to show off in their eyes, and simultaneously unleashed their spiritual power, spreading out the auras of the four elements: earth, wind, water, and fire.

"Possessed Awakening!"

In an instant, the four spirits, empowered by their master's spiritual energy, evolved, gaining even greater power and changing their forms.

The Fire Spirit Inari Fire evolves into the Great Inari Fire, the Water Spirit Electric Spirit evolves into the Demon Spirit, the Demon Beaver evolves into the Demon Soul-Reaping Beast, and the Little Dragon evolves into the Spiral Dragon.

"It's actually a new evolutionary form of the Electric Spirit Rhinoceros branch."

[Possessed Awakening - Demon Yihao Lizard (5-star) Water]

[Genealogy: Water, Electricity]

[Level: 30]

[Attack Power: 2000 (2320)]

[Defense: 200 (232)]

[Reptile-Type, effect: omitted]

You Zhi checked the opponent's data and found that its attack and defense stats were much worse than Divergent Lizard Yihao's, but it had the ability to obtain Spell Card, and its lineage was Electric and Water, which was a very good lineage combination. Its only weaknesses were Ground and Grass.

After their possession was released, the four spirit maidens were as if they had used the Kaio-ken, their strength greatly increased. Together with their equally evolved spirits, they defeated the enemy after a fierce struggle.

Unable to eliminate the threat even from higher-ranking Worms, Worm Zero ceased production.

"As expected, the other side isn't that stupid. There's probably some kind of threshold. Oh well, leave the rest to me," You Zhi said.

Jasmine couldn't help but ask again, "Are you really sure?"

"Don't worry, I have no intention of going to my death."

You Zhi looked confident because his Strength-Weakness Mimicry had broken through to the fifth level.

Chapter 156 The Strength of the Fifth Realm

Before crossing to the planet, You Zhi's Strength-Weakness Mimicry had already reached the peak of the fourth level. The series of battles he participated in on the planet, along with the Oakheart Meditation Method he learned from the Naturia clan, finally helped him break through the barrier and reach a new realm.

You Zhi bent his body, placed his hands on the ground, and assumed a starting position. With a push from his back leg, he shot off like an arrow released from a bow.

As soon as he entered within a hundred meters, the Worm Zero reacted immediately, shooting out a series of silk threads from its body at a speed no less than that of a machine gun, intending to bind its prey.

Having anticipated this, You Zhi shifted his feet and moved aside, seemingly having foreseen the attack of the silk threads. Although the silk threads were everywhere and appeared to be completely harmless, he always managed to slip through the gaps, narrowly missing the target each time.

The silk threads shot out very quickly, even faster than You Zhi's sprint speed, but they were ultimately a straight-line attack, and were not difficult to dodge as long as one anticipated their movement.

However, this leeway disappeared once You Zhi rushed into the fifty-meter range. The Worm Zero fired more silk threads, giving him less time to react, so he made his move.

With a swift movement, You Zhi created seven or eight identical afterimages that ran alongside him. This was the Elf skill "Double Team." These afterimages disappeared after being pierced by the threads.

However, his Double Team are not used in a one-time burst, but continuously, with new afterimages constantly appearing to share the enemy's firepower.

Today, You Zhi's Mimicry of Pokémon moves has evolved beyond simply copying them. He has incorporated his own interpretations, moving beyond simply knowing the "what" without understanding the "why," and transforming these techniques into his own unique moves and skills.

Ultimately, skills are merely techniques for elves to utilize their physical bodies and spiritual power. You Zhi can simulate the physique of elves by mimicking their Strength-Weakness Mimicry, which already meets the prerequisite. There's no reason why even those seemingly silly elves can use skills while he can't.

"This is unbelievable! Is this really something a human could do?" Jasmine exclaimed in disbelief.

The four Water Spirits weren't so surprised. Although You Zhi's abilities were indeed impressive, there were many powerful people on the planet, such as XX-Saber Gottoms, who single-handedly killed the Worm Queen and was a formidable opponent.

But in Jasmine's opinion, Pokémon and Trainers are not the same thing at all. The Fighting-type Gym Leader of Cianwood City, A-Si, is also very strong and has a record of fighting Pokémon one-on-one, but he could never do something like that.

If trainers are all this powerful, even capable of using special moves, then what's the point of having Pokémon?

Regardless of what others thought, You Zhi continued to advance rapidly, and all the changes happened in the Quick Attack. In less than eight seconds, he rushed into the twenty-meter range, at which point the difficulty increased again!

The Worm Zero employed a covering attack, firing out a dense barrage of threads that completely enveloped the ground near You Zhi, leaving no gaps.

No matter how quick You Zhi's reflexes are, he can no longer dodge at this point. Although there is a move called "Minimize" in the Pokémon's skills that can be used to increase the evasion rate, his Strength-Weakness Mimicry is not yet at the level of changing the quality of the Pokémon.

Since we can't avoid it, then we won't try to avoid it.

A flash of red light appeared, and flames erupted from You Zhi's body, burning all the threads that hit him to ashes!

The fourth level of Strength-Weakness Mimicry can only imitate physical constitution, while the fifth level of Strength-Weakness Mimicry can change the body and simulate the body structure and special organs of others.

At this moment, You Zhi's Mimicry target is that group of Jurrac dinosaurs. These dinosaurs can not only breathe fire, but also have their entire bodies engulfed in flames. This is not a skill, but the function of special organs on their bodies.

The Worm Zero- Spray's silk threads are exceptionally tough; once they entangle a target, they stick like chewing gum, difficult even to cut with a sharp blade. Once entangled, death is practically inevitable unless the target can be set on fire.

The Worms silk threads, which are just as effective as steel cables, can be easily burned off with a single match. That's why when the Worm Zero unleashed its devastating power to wipe out the Allied Forces, the Jurrac Tribe suffered no casualties—they were able to do so because their entire bodies were engulfed in flames.

After transforming into a fire person, the threads posed no threat to You Zhi; they could only slightly delay the fire and incidentally fan it.

The twenty-meter distance was covered in the blink of an eye. You Zhi leaped up, grabbed onto the surface of the Worm Zero, and used Strength-Weakness Mimicry to explore its body structure.

The Worm Zero sensed the danger instinctively, but was powerless to do anything about it. Disregarding energy consumption, it could only produce another strong Vorold Worm.

"Get out of the way, don't disturb my research!"

You Zhi unleashed a punch, gathering his strength. Pale lightning crackled and the void trembled. It was the Phantom Emperor's exclusive skill Heaven-Ravaging Fist!

The fifth level of the Strength-Weakness Mimicry can even imitate exclusive skills, but without the enormous body of the Phantom Emperor, the power of the skills cannot be compared, but it is more than enough to deal with a single Worms.

The Vorold Worm that took the punch to the face was instantly blown apart. Combined with the burning of its Flame Skin, not even a trace of its remains was left, turning it into ashes.

Worm Zero panicked and immediately adjusted You Zhi's threat level to the second level. He gathered a large amount of spiritual power on his body and was about to unleash a world-destroying blast.

"Eternal Evolution Burst!"

Upon seeing this, Jasmine hurriedly summoned the Cyber End Dragon and used its exclusive skill to shoot out three high-temperature flames.

In an instant Worm Zero changed its target, unleashing a terrifying shockwave at the Cyber End Dragon. Although You Zhi made it sense the danger, this danger was based on speculation and was not as real as the Cyber End Dragon.

Even without considering the effects of Pokémon abilities, Cyber End Dragon is stronger than both Lamp-Eyed Monster and Army Marshal.

The two sides' attack power was not on the same level. The Eternal Evolution Burst was easily defeated and did not play a role in hindering the attack. In the blink of an eye, the Worms's shockwave hit the Cyber End Dragon.

Boom!

The Cyber End Dragon didn't explode; it was the Union Monster equipped on it that exploded.

[Armored Cyber Wing (4-star) Wind]

[Genealogy: Steel, Electricity]

[Level: 20]

[Attack Power: 0(0)]

[Defense Strength: 2000 (2000)]

[Machine-Type, effect: omitted]

As Union Monster, the Armored Cyber Wing can be equipped on Cyber Dragon or Cyber Dragon evolved form, granting it the ability to destroy spirits by reducing their attack power. Additionally, it can take the place of destruction when the equipped target suffers a fatal wound.
