Xiao Mengmeng didn't answer, which can be considered a tacit agreement.
In fact, her previous host Xing Tian, was her last hope, but unfortunately, he ultimately failed. Wang Hao was merely a remnant she salvaged from the fading light of that last hope, or perhaps her final trace of resentment.
I'm not willing to let it end like this!
As if Xiao Mengmeng's silence was within his expectations, Wang Hao remained calm.
I once heard a saying, "Those who learn from me will live, those who merely imitate me will die!"
As a loser, Xing Tian certainly has things I can learn from, but I must never become a second Xing Tian, because it would be impossible for me to defeat the Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Wilderness and Dao Ancestor Hongjun that way.
The War God's Body in the True Spirit possesses divine abilities belonging to Xing Tian, not mine. Now that the War God's Body is no longer of any value to learn, it should be discarded. I must forge a completely new path, one that belongs solely to me, only then can we have a glimmer of hope!
Since transmigrating to the Primordial World, he has never stopped thinking about the future. From Xiao Mengmeng's words, he had roughly guessed some things and was ready to make his own decision.
The War God's Body is indeed formidable, especially its ability to serve as a vessel for the power of twelve primordial laws, ultimately condensing into the Great Dao of Force, which demonstrates its boundless potential.
No matter how hard one tries, one can never reach the level of the Great God Pangu; at most, one can only come infinitely close.
Even the Great God Pangu has perished; what chance does a knock-off version have of winning?
Rather than blindly forging ahead down a dead end and ultimately crashing into a wall, it's better to shed the stigma of defeat now and explore a completely new path to survival in the unknown.
Although the hope of success is slim, at least there is some hope, which is much better than going down a dead end.
I won't interfere with your decision, but once you've made it, then go for it resolutely!
After a long silence, Xiao Mengmeng finally expressed her approval of Wang Hao, marking the first time she had truly acknowledged this man.
"I will!"
A slight smile played on Wang Hao's lips, but his heart was filled with resolute determination.
He will definitely seize that glimmer of hope!
"Senior?"
While Wang Hao was talking to Xiao Mengmeng, he suddenly heard someone calling him. He opened his eyes and saw that Gudao was standing cautiously in front of him.
"Is something the matter?"
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, his expression indifferent.
"Senior, they all have them, what about me?"
Swallowing hard, Gudao forced himself to acknowledge his presence.
In that other world, both he and Mash obtained armor and weapons, and even Olga Marie received a gleaming whisk, but he forgot about himself.
As one of the four who came together, he naturally didn't want to leave empty-handed, nor did he want to miss this great opportunity, so he mustered up the courage to come and ask.
Yours is here!
As if he had finally remembered this person, Wang Hao tossed out a pair of briefs, similar to the ones worn by the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta.
Upon catching the tossed triangular leather pants, not only was Gudao bewildered, but Gudako, Mash the other two girls beside him also blinked in confusion.
"Don't underestimate this treasure. It was created based on the design of a certain Hulk's shorts, and it has the characteristic of being indestructible. Even if that Goetia were to attack, he couldn't destroy it, and it's also quite flexible."
Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Wang Hao patiently explained the powerful features of the shorts.
But it would have been better if they hadn't explained it. After the explanation, Mash and the other three had strange expressions, and Gudao's hand, which was gripping the little leather pants, bulged with veins.
If he didn't still have some sense and know he couldn't beat this big shot, he really wanted to give this guy a friendly face-breaking punch.
He admitted that the briefs were very powerful, but no matter how powerful they were, they were just a pair of briefs that could only be used to cover one's private parts; they couldn't even protect one's vitals.
"Senior, what's the significance of this shield and this suit of armor?"
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, the understanding Mash changed the subject, explaining that she was genuinely unfamiliar with the new armor and small shield, and didn't know how to handle them.
"This armor was forged by me based on your previous magic armor and incorporating various precious materials, so it is a physical object and can, to some extent, compensate for the fact that the large shield could not protect you."
However, precisely because it is a physical creation, it cannot be directly absorbed into your body before you refine it; you must wear it slowly, like ordinary armor.
As for this arm shield, it has three forms. The first form is the sword sheath you saw before, the second is the arm shield you see now, and the third form is somewhat similar in function to the large shield on your dining table.
However, I have only laid out a foundation and a blueprint. You will need to continuously study and refine that large shield made of a dining table. This will be your true protective shield in the future.
Because it was designed based on the scabbard of King Arthur Avalon's Avalon, it has an independent space inside that can convert the opponent's attacks into primal energy and store it there.
As long as the opponent's attack does not exceed the limits of the small space's intensity and energy storage, it will absolutely not be able to harm you.
Moreover, this shield can continuously grow and upgrade as your strength increases; how far it will ultimately grow depends on your own efforts.
Oh, and here's your big shield back from the dining table!
In the end, Wang Hao took out Mash's large shield from the dining table and returned it to the girl.
"Thank you, senior Mash will not let you down!"
"I solemnly accepted the bowl of rice... Big Shield, "Mash promised earnestly, her clear, beautiful eyes filled with determination.
She definitely won't let her seniors and everyone down!
"I trust you!"
Wang Hao gently reached out and ruffled Mash's hair; he had high hopes for this girl.
He is a Protagonist of the Era, and now with my support, his future achievements will be limitless. He will definitely grow into a major force to help me complete the system's tasks.
"Senpai, why is the cloak on the back different from Mash's?"
Gudako also voiced her doubts at the opportune moment, and everyone's gaze turned to the cloak on the back of the armor in front of her.
In terms of the armor's design, Wang Hao, as before, referenced the characteristics of the Saint Cloth, going for the most gorgeous look. Leaving aside the functionality, the appearance alone is absolutely top-notch.
Both Gudako and Mash have capes on the back of their armor, each with a different function and a very different design.
Unlike Mash's armor, which has a single cape at the back, Gudako's armor has a cape that splits off at the center line, and it is decorated with a pair of golden wings.
"You'll know once you put it on and channel magic into the cloak on your back."
Still wearing that gentle smile, Wang Hao didn't answer directly, but instead let Gudako try it on and experience it herself.
Having experienced the entire FGO timeline, Gudako wasn't one to be coy. She immediately took off her outer garment, leaving only her two undergarments, and put on the armor set.
As Wang Hao had previously instructed, he channeled his magic power into the cloak on his back.
"Whoosh!"
A burst of golden light flashed, and a pair of golden wings unfolded behind Mash, making her look like Holy Angel from mythology.
That's right, this suit of armor is based on the Sagittarius Gold Cloth, and those wings can also help Gudako comprehend the Aurora Divine Ability, even enabling her to fly at the speed of light and ultimately step into the realm of time.
Even though Gudako is only just beginning to use this armor, she is slowly levitating with the help of those wings.
"Wow! I can fly! I can fly!"
It must be said that Gudako's talent is extraordinary. She mastered the ability to fly in just a short while, and flew slowly through the hall, getting faster and faster. Joyful exclamations echoed throughout the hall.
"Senior, could I have a set of battle armor too?"
Olga Marie Gudako, her eyes gleaming with anticipation as she watched Gudako fly, took small steps toward Wang Hao, also wanting to own a set of such exquisite, magnificent, and exceptionally functional armor.
"Didn't you want to learn True Magic? Do you want to become a melee mage?"
Wang Hao was puzzled, not understanding what this girl was thinking. She clearly said she wanted to learn True Magic, but now she wanted a set of armor.
Is this some kind of glitch?
"Having an extra suit of armor provides multiple layers of protection on the battlefield!"
She looked somewhat hesitant, but Olga Marie's attitude remained resolute.
Such a good opportunity is rare; it might be your only chance in this lifetime. If you don't ask for some benefits, you'll definitely regret it for the rest of your life.
Are you sure?
"I'm absolutely certain, senior!"
Olga Marie's attitude remained firm; she was determined to get the armor today!
"Alright, but before that, I need to test you. If you can pick up this bracer, I'll make you a suit of armor."
"When!"
Wang Hao casually removed the bracers from Mash's armor and tossed them in front of Olga Marie. Olga Marie, who was initially happy to reach out and catch them, lost her balance and fell to the ground. The golden bracers hit the ground with a dull thud, and even the ground trembled slightly.
Some Olga Marie, unwilling to believe in such a thing, cast Reinforcement Magecraft on herself, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't lift the wristband, or even budge it.
"Don't waste your energy. This suit of armor weighs tens of thousands of pounds just for the wrist guards, and the total weight is a staggering 810,000 pounds."
And this is only the initial form. As the level increases, the weight will increase exponentially.
Gudako's armor was lighter, but it still weighed 360,000 jin (approximately 183,000 kg). If Gudako hadn't possessed some strength, she wouldn't have been able to fly; she'd be lucky to avoid being crushed to death.
Honestly, Wang Hao had no prejudice against Olga Marie. Despite her strong and arrogant demeanor in the story, those who truly knew her understood that she was also a pitiful girl. Her only regret before her death was not being able to gain recognition and praise from others.
However, the armor he made was really unsuitable for this girl; its weight alone was beyond her capacity to bear.
Besides, why would a girl like you who follows the orthodox path of a mage need armor? Do you really think you're Gandalf the White?
"Director, don't be discouraged. The senior always treats everyone equally and would never show favoritism. Since you weren't given armor, it must be because this whisk is powerful enough that you don't need to use armor."
Having exhausted her magic Gudako descended and comforted Olga Marie by putting her arm around her shoulder.
"Really?"
She looked at Gudako suspiciously, then glanced at the whisk in her hand that shimmered with a precious light.
Having a family background in Daoism, she naturally knew that this was an artifact from the Huaxia Taoist School called a whisk, which held extraordinary significance in Taoist School doctrine. Moreover, the whisk was now Gilgamesh and indeed looked quite remarkable.
However extraordinary they may be, they are still far inferior to the weapons and armor that Mash and Gudako obtained.
"You're the one who understands me best!"
Wang Hao gave Gudako a pleased look, then reached out and took the whisk from Olga Marie's hand, explaining, "This may look like a whisk, but its main body is actually a sword named Autumn Steed!"
"Clang!"
With arms outstretched, the longsword hidden in the whisk was drawn, its sharp, cold light flashing past.
That's right, this is the very sword he copied from Xiaomeng Taoist School the Heaven Sect in the Legend of Qin World. At least in terms of style, it is almost identical, but its internals are naturally completely different.
However, it must be admitted that Xiaomeng's Autumn Steed, is indeed beautifully designed and most suitable for women.
The reason it turned out this way was partly due to the limitations of the raw materials used in its creation, and partly because Olga Marie Marie's long hair was white, just like Xiaomeng's, which was quite a coincidence. So, he eventually managed to create a knock-off of the Autumn Steed Sword.
"What Pretty sword!"
As soon as the sword was drawn, Olga Marie's eyes were immediately drawn to it, and a blush of excitement appeared on her fair face.
The moment she saw the longsword, a voice inside her kept whispering, urging her to get her hands on it no matter what.
"Although the sword body of Autumn Steed Sword is powerful, its most powerful feature is actually the three thousand whisks, which correspond to the three thousand laws of a world. More importantly, these three thousand whisks are derived from the first root of this World Tree seed."
Once this tree seed grows, you can use it to manipulate the Three Thousand Laws in the world it inhabits.
Yes, the power of laws is a power unique to the Taiyi Realm, which is what you call True Magic. Its potential is in no way weaker than Mash and Gudako's armor and weapons, and in some ways it may even surpass them.
Furthermore, the World Tree's Projection possesses absolute defensive power; as long as you are inside the Projection, no force can harm you unless it can destroy the entire world along with the World Tree itself...
