(To our fellow Hubei residents, stay strong!!!)
The Empress, the Grand Duchess, and the others were about to engage in a fierce battle, but no one expected the fight to end so soon. Everyone stared in astonishment at the blood-red spear piercing Scáthach's heart, and that astonishment quickly turned into horror.
None of them noticed Wang Hao's attack; it was as if the spear had always been positioned at Scáthach's heart.
"Is the difference really that big?"
Looking down at the blood-red spear piercing her heart, Scáthach's expression was one of melancholy, but even more so, one of burning passion.
This is the feeling—the sense of death I've craved for thousands of years!
"The further you go, the greater the gap between each realm becomes. Unless you use some special methods, it's absolutely impossible to fight someone of a higher realm."
Releasing the blood-red spear from his hand, Wang Hao explained indifferently.
Although Scáthach is very strong, possessing the cultivation of the Heaven Realm Peak, her full power is enough to rival a typical Early Taiyi Realm expert for a short period of time.
Unfortunately, he wasn't some newbie just entering the Taiyi Realm; in his hands, Shishou was utterly powerless.
Not to mention that the Shishou in front of her is merely a Servant in Servant form, whose strength is far inferior to that of the original.
"It was indeed wishful thinking on my part, but don't you think it's incredibly rude of you to make such a move?"
Scáthach stared at the large, squashed treasure on the left side of her chest, which had been completely flattened by the monstrous spear, filled with resentment.
No matter what, I'm a beautiful woman. Can't you be a little more careful with your actions?
Don't you know this relates to the quality and quantity of food for future children?
"Your Spirit Core is in your heart. If I don't attack there, where else can I attack?"
Wang Hao, who had just realized what was happening, felt extremely embarrassed. However, he had developed a thick skin over time, so he put on a stern expression and retorted.
"Laugh!"
"What I give away, I won't take back. I look forward to our next battle!"
Ignoring Wang Hao's answer, Shishou drew the blood-red spear from her chest and tossed it to Wang Hao.
Since it was given away, and the recipient truly deserves it, there's no reason to take it back.
As the crimson spear was pulled out, the Spirit Core within her heart completely collapsed, and Shishou's body gradually turned into specks of light and dissipated.
"Consider this a return gift!"
At the very last moment before Shishou's body completely dissipated, Wang Hao flung out a ball of light that entered her body, containing all the inheritance he had deduced in this world.
Shishou is a promising talent with great potential. Most importantly, compared to those Heroic Spirit, she is alive, and a rare long-lived one at that. She even controls the Land of Shadows, the kingdom of the dead.
If developed well, it will undoubtedly become a great help for him to complete the system's tasks in the future!
"It's a pretty good Noble Phantasm; I can give it to that girl, Kinmusume Rin, to play with."
After Shishou's figure completely disappeared, Wang Hao toyed with the blood-red battle spear in his hand and then designated it as its future master.
I remember in one of the Fate storylines, Rin Tohsaka was a gun enthusiast, and she was using this kind of Gáe Bolg.
Furthermore, that girl is best suited to practice Bajiquan, and Bajiquan also has the Baji Spear routine, which is perfect for her First Tier of training.
"Alright, this Holy Grail War is now completely over. You guys should think carefully about our next deal. You can negotiate with Darnic on this matter and get me a result as soon as possible."
Putting away his crimson spear, Wang Hao turned around and officially announced the end of the month-long Holy Grail War. Then, with a snap of his fingers, the Mirror Dimension shifted, and he arrived in the real world.
"Tsk tsk... what filthy Nezumi!"
Upon returning to the real world, Wang Hao witnessed a rather disgusting scene: a group of people were attempting to break through the World Tree World Tree's defensive layer, seemingly trying to devour and refine it.
These artifacts are among the many ancient relics hidden in this world, with the largest number originating from the Holy Church and the Mage's Association.
The commotion caused by this Holy Grail War has affected the entire world, attracting the attention of countless powerful figures, and even bringing many slumbering old monsters out of hiding.
However, most people just watch from afar, looking for a good opportunity to make a fortune.
The reappearance of the Cthulhu Old God led them to believe they had found an opportunity, so they joined forces to divide up the World Tree.
Unfortunately, they underestimated the World Tree's defensive capabilities; they even struggled to break through the outermost defensive barrier.
Just as they were about to break through the defensive barrier, they were confronted with the horrifying sight of the deranged man.
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
Once they realized what was happening, everyone tried to escape without thinking, but unfortunately, their strength was no match for Wang Hao Hao's.
With a thought, countless roots extended from the ground, which were the roots of the World Tree.
Countless roots of the World Tree writhed like long snakes, forcefully dragging everyone present to the ground, leaving them utterly unable to resist.
It's easy to imagine that these people will ultimately become fertilizer for the World Tree World Tree, contributing to its growth.
Wang Hao had no mercy for these kinds of people. Instead of helping them fight the Cthulhu Old God, they stabbed them in the back, which was an unforgivable crime punishable by death.
Even Waver and the others, who were watching from afar, didn't say much when they saw this scene; sadness was inevitable, followed by worry.
During this Holy Grail War, they witnessed firsthand just how terrifying the Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage's strength was; even the combined power of the Holy Church and the Mage's Association was insufficient to contend with them.
Now that most of the top experts on the mystical side have died, it's conceivable that no one will be able to stop the expansion and development of the Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage.
It seems the mysterious side is about to unleash another bloody storm!
" Darnic, there is a lot of real trash in this world that you need to clean up. Be careful to maintain a balance, and make sure everything is based on the development of the entire world. You should know that a world with only one Thousand Worlds Tree Lineage is unlikely to truly develop."
I don't want to see your Yggdmillennia decayed and rotten when I return to this world. I won't hold back then."
Wang Hao casually warned Darnic and the others behind him. He knew that Danic was a complete schemer, and if he were allowed to run rampant, who knew what kind of mess he would make of the world? So, a necessary warning was still very necessary.
"I swear on the honor of my family, the Yggdmillennia will never decay and degenerate like those pieces of trash. Even if that day comes, without you even lifting a finger, I, Darnic, will uphold justice and annihilate it completely!"
After making a solemn promise, Darnic immediately extinguished any lingering thoughts in his mind.
He had indeed made a series of plans, but after Wang Hao's warning, he put them all aside.
The Thousand Worlds Tree Yggdmillennia Lineage is indeed very strong now, many times stronger than before, but in the eyes of this giant, they are nothing more than a slightly larger ant.
So it's best to obediently listen to him and not disobey this big shot.
"It's finally over! I thought it would last a year!"
Mo Zai, carrying a greatsword on his shoulder, ate a steamed bun while speaking indistinctly.
Ever since she sensed that her father had also been summoned to this Holy Grail War, she had become timid. Furthermore, after Wang Hao guaranteed that he could repair her Master's Magic Crest, she turned to the Black Faction.
However, she has not participated in any battles for the past month, precisely to avoid the awkwardness of encountering her own father.
If it were when she had just been born, she would definitely have run over and betrayed her father, using the sword in her hand to prove herself.
After reading countless books on imperial power and tactics, her perspective had completely changed, reaching several levels of sophistication.
That's why she can truly understand the hardships her father endured. At least she doesn't have the confidence to govern Britain well in that era; she still has a long way to go!
With this realization, he felt guilty about his actions in his previous life, so he never went into battle and stayed in the time barrier of the Millennia Castle to study the books and their legacy.
Darnic and his associates were happy to have one less powerful opponent, so they didn't mind having one more idle person on their side.
"Hey, we've known each other before, haven't we?"
Suddenly, Mo Zai stretched her head in front of Wang Hao, their noses and mouths almost touching. Her eyes, like deep blue pools, stared straight at the man in front of her, as if trying to see right through him.
During this time, she never gave up trying to figure out the guy's identity. In the end, after combining various clues, she could only roughly determine that he was an acquaintance from his previous life, but that was all. She was unable to further confirm his true identity.
She doesn't remember ever knowing this monstrous and perverted guy in her previous life!
Could it be that the other party has erased all memories related to me?
While such methods of manipulating other people's memories are incredible, they do exist.
As far as she knew, Merlin could do it.
So who exactly is this guy?
"You guess!"
With a smile on his face, Wang Hao naturally wouldn't reveal his identity, at least not now was the time, and he also felt there was no need to expose himself.
After all, he was just a passerby in this world. To him, the people in this world were merely like NPCs in a game, tools to help him complete system tasks and achieve ultimate transcendence.
He didn't want to get too deeply involved!
Just like his relationship with Dongfang Bai in the Smiling Proud Wanderer World, although he outwardly regarded that girl as his wife, in reality he still saw her as a tool.
Coupled with curiosity and admiration for that female version of Dongfang Bubai, this created that ambiguous emotion.
He was a little confused at first, but after returning to the Primordial World, he realized that he had never truly loved anyone.
To give an example, if he had to choose between Dongfang Bai and his own life, he would definitely choose his own life without hesitation.
It may sound cold, but that's just how realistic he is.
As for the women encountered in the later dungeons, they were all categorized as mere tools.
"You're such an idiot! But thanks anyway!"
With a hearty grin, he gave Wang Hao a light punch on the chest, and Mo Zai's body began to dissipate into specks of light.
As a legitimate Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War, she lost her means of existence after the Greater Grail was completely transformed into the Dragon Ball of the Wish-Granting Shenron, so it was time for her to return.
However, she still sincerely thanked this mysterious guy. Whether it was solving her Master's troubles, providing delicious food during this time, or the bag of books that he had passed down, it was all a great favor. Saying thank you was already a very light thing to say.
"Those who should leave have left; it's time for you all to begin your own journeys!"
Turning their attention to Gudao companions, now that the Holy Grail War was over, these little guys from another world naturally had to go back, since they still had their own missions to complete in that world.
"Teacher, could you also get me one of those clothes that can expand with my body size?"
At that moment Gudao suddenly stepped forward and made a hopeful request.
At this moment, he was quite a pervert. His clothes were completely torn, with only a pair of leather briefs covering his vitals, revealing his explosively muscular physique. He was a complete exhibitionist.
He was already on the verge of despair, but to his surprise, when his cheap teacher transformed into Great God, his clothes didn't explode; instead, they grew larger and remained neat even after the battle.
Although this ability seems useless, it is what he needs most.
After all, he didn't want to actually become a perverted exhibitionist!
The disdainful looks from Gudako, Mash, and the others had been making him feel uneasy, and he knew he had to make a change.
"My technique isn't about the clothes themselves; it's a supernatural ability that can enlarge clothing. I'll pass it on to you!"
As an excellent teacher, Wang Hao would naturally not refuse his disciple's request. He immediately passed on the supernatural power that he had casually deduced to Gudao, but he could not hide the wicked smile on his lips.
When he enlarged himself and hacked at the Cthulhu Old God, he did use this seemingly useless supernatural power to protect his clothes, preventing him from running away in the end.
The learning threshold and difficulty of this supernatural power are not high, but there is only one point: it requires extremely subtle control over one's own energy, at least to the atomic level.
Gudao's internal energy is characterized by its violent and uncontrollable nature, making it ten times more difficult to learn this supernatural power.
So, my foolish disciple, you might as well continue being your perverted exhibitionist!
