They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 117 The White Dragon Emperor and the Artificial Artifact are Both Acquired
If Dan Lei were to forcibly seize the life force of other creatures using his abundant power, and this were detected by the Immortal Ship Alliance, he would surely be imprisoned in the Dark Prison, directly locked up with those serious criminals.

This behavior is considered a major taboo by the Immortal Boat Alliance, and only bountiful creatures would do such a thing.

But in another world, there's no such concern; the Immortal Ship Alliance won't know what's happening here.

Moreover, the healing effect of "Injury to Enemy" is based on the passive skill of "Hunting" combined with "Abundant Fate," which Dan Lei cannot turn off even if he wants to.

At this moment, Vali in his Tyrannosaurus form was unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

As a half-human, half-demon hybrid, Vali possesses extremely strong vitality, and he doesn't feel much loss in his berserk state.

As for the wounds, they heal automatically when the damaged armor is repaired.

However, one cut doesn't feel like anything, but multiple cuts are a different story.

At this point, Vali and Danley had entered into a real hand-to-hand combat.

Danlei, relying on his ability to absorb life force and his abundant life path to quickly recover from injuries, often deliberately clashed with Vali to exchange blows.

Even if it means taking a punch from him, I will still slash him with my sword.

Furthermore, the high-heat mode of the Sun Wheel Greatsword was constantly harassing them from the side.

Even without much destiny power to enhance it, the White Dragon Emperor's armor could not withstand too many of its attacks. After the armor was melted and damaged, it would require a lot of magic power to recover.

So, for the next seven or eight minutes, from a third-party perspective, it looked like two meteors, one red and one white, were colliding in the sky at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

Moreover, the shockwaves generated by each collision are of a devastating magnitude.

The Kuoh Academy below had already been reduced to ruins when the two first collided, and was subsequently crushed into a huge meteorite crater by various shockwaves.

Genovia, hiding behind Orpheus, was not greatly affected, but she was so intimidated by the fighting aura emanating from the two fighting in the air that she couldn't move.

Rias, Sona, and their retinues, under Scáthach's protection, were able to at least watch the battle.

As for Fried Selzer and Balpa Galileo, both of them were killed by the aftershocks of the battle.

However, as time went on, Vali finally realized that something was wrong with his body.

Even in his berserk state, Vali could feel his punches becoming weaker and his reactions slower.

This feeling is strange. Even though my body has plenty of energy and my magic power is being used up, it's still far from being depleted. But I still feel like my body has been hollowed out.

In fact, as an opponent, Danlei was the first to notice that Vali's speed had slowed down.

Dan Lei knew that this was the beginning of the effects of the lack of vitality.

Danlei's attacks don't absorb much life force each time; if Vali were conscious, he would have noticed it long ago.

But now, he's like an adult who finds he has a wound that bleeds every day, but not much each time, so he doesn't pay much attention to it.

He let the wound bleed him until he became anemic.

By the time you realize you need to pay attention, it's too late; your body is already depleted, and even climbing three flights of stairs becomes difficult.

If we were to apply this to the game, it would mean that Danlei has already reduced Vali's maximum health to almost nothing, and if he reduces it any further, it will be gone.

Therefore, Dan Lei naturally took advantage of your weakness and launched a rapid attack.

Vali had no other choice but to raise his arms and try his best to defend.

This was a mistake. Danlei had no intention of killing Vali directly. Once the host died, the artifact would automatically disappear.

Unless the host is resurrected or a new host is born, the artifact will not reappear.

Without this mechanism, the artifacts in the hands of humans would have long been collected by other mythological forces, forcing them to circulate only among fixed factions.

Therefore, Danlei launched a fierce attack directly on Wali's defensive arm.

Even though he had gathered a large amount of magic power here, making his defense the strongest, Dan Lei didn't care, because he only wanted to create an opening and deepen Vali's deficit.

So, after defending with all his might for a while, Vali felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and he fell straight down from the sky, crashing into the ground that had long since become a crater.

Seeing this, Danlei landed directly next to the unconscious Vali and activated the Binding Rune Array, locking him firmly to the ground.

At this moment, Azazel also fell from the sky and said to Danlei.
"Lord Danlei, you have already won. Spare his life."

However, Danlei didn't even glance at the Fallen Angel Governor, directly dispelling Draig's possession and issuing the order.

"Dreig, keep an eye on this fallen angel governor. If he makes any unusual moves, eliminate him immediately."

After speaking, Danlei slowly walked to Vali's side.

Just like when they liberated Draig, they channeled some magic into his back, and the White Dragon Emperor's wings of light appeared.

Seeing this, Azazel immediately realized what Danlei was planning to do, and asked in surprise.
"Mr. Danlei, are you trying to liberate Albion? No, if the artifact is destroyed, people will die!!"

However, no sooner had Azazel finished speaking than Dreig's enormous claws slammed down in front of him, roaring...
"Ignorant fallen angel, don't move. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. My former master didn't die."

At the same time, Dan Lei activated the Spirit Binding and Commanding mode, scanned the battlefield, and found the remnant soul of Kokabil trapped by the barrier. With a shout of "Come," Dan Lei collected Kokabil's remnant soul and gathered it in his hand.

Here, Kokabi is a remnant soul, which is naturally thanks to Draig.

It knew that all the major powers actually had resurrection-related spells. If only the body was destroyed and not the soul, beings like the ten-winged fallen angels could very likely be resurrected as long as their souls were intact.

Therefore, its dragon flames not only scorch the flesh but also burn the soul. The fact that you can find a remnant soul of the being burned to death is a result of the fact that it has not destroyed souls for countless years and its skills have become somewhat rusty.

However, having a remnant soul is enough. But Kabil is, after all, a ten-winged fallen angel cadre. Even a remnant soul is of higher quality than the complete soul of the two-winged Renare.

After collecting the souls to be exchanged, Dan Lei placed his hand on the precious jade of the White Dragon Emperor's wings, using the memory of his destiny master and the hunting of his destiny as supplementary means to empower himself, and then skillfully infiltrated it.

Here, Dan Lei needs to patrol the path of destiny to assist because the White Dragon Emperor's wings are different from Hyoudou Issei's Crimson Dragon Emperor's gauntlets; they are in an active state.

Vali has already developed the White Dragon Emperor's Light Wings to a very high level. The soul fragments of the White Dragon Emperors from previous generations must be active within them, and Albion is also awake.

Therefore, if you go in, you will definitely encounter attacks and resistance.

As expected, as soon as Dan Lei's spirit entered the precious jade of the White Dragon Emperor's wings, it was attacked by fragments of the souls of the White Dragon Emperors from previous generations.

However, this remnant soul is still too inexperienced to attack Dan Lei, who has both memory and hunting buffs.

In the game, the [Echoes of the Mist: Landscape] effect, which primarily relies on memory and secondarily on hunting, reduces enemy speed after the freeze effect ends, making it a relatively weak Echoes of the Mist.

But in reality, especially in soul combat, this combination is particularly strong.

With a mere thought, Dan Lei froze the soul fragments of the White Dragon Emperors of all generations in place.

These incomplete fragments of the soul, lacking even a little power, have no right to resist the destiny of memories.

As they ventured deeper, Danlei came across Albion's original soul form.

Alubion was not surprised by Danlei's arrival. Upon seeing Danlei, it immediately opened its mouth and said...

“After Vali’s defeat, I knew you would appear here.”

"However, Danlei, I am not Draig. I will not easily submit to you. Are you ready to fight me?" However, Danlei was too lazy to answer Albion's question. The power of memory and destiny instantly transformed into chains and bound him tightly.

At the same time, the ice formed from the power of the hunting destiny quickly spread across its entire body.

Subsequently, Dan Lei's consciousness returned to his body, and he took out a snake from Orpheus, directly using it as an energy source to activate a substitution magic.

Orpheus's [Serpent] energy is far stronger than the ley line power that Dan Lei had previously collected.

Even Albion's soul could not resist the substitution magic activated at the cost of a [Snake].

And so, the enormous, frost-covered soul of Albion appeared outside in an instant.

At this moment, it was still instinctively struggling, trying to break free from the extreme cold formed by the power of its memories and destiny.

However, with Dan Lei's shout of "Come!"

Alubion's soul was forcibly sucked into Danlei's back.

Its spirit still wanted to resist, but Danlei had Draig helping him in mixed doubles, so its resistance was instantly suppressed.

Having failed in his rebellion, Albian's soul could only obediently be transformed into a spirit by Danlei, becoming Danlei's third underling.

At the same time, the White Dragon Emperor's wings were instantly downgraded, eventually becoming a pair of black wings radiating the power of fallen angels, no longer the God-Destroying Tool.

Azazel witnessed Danle liberating Albion's soul and enslaving it. This rendered the White Dragon Emperor's wings obsolete, reducing the number of Divine Gears by one.

At that moment, Azazel felt only regret.

He wondered why he had come all this way for the sake of that idiot Kokabile's life or death, when Danlei was clearly collecting the Dragon King's soul.

Now that Ertianlong is under his command, if he knew that he possessed an artificial artifact with the soul of Fafnir, the Golden Dragon Lord, he wouldn't be able to keep it today.

It should be said that he might not be able to save his own life, because he realized that Dan Lei was performing a soul swap to release the soul from the artifact.

Although Azazel was unaware of how Danlei bypassed the defensive mechanisms that the Bible God had placed in the artifacts.

However, this method obviously requires another soul to be imprisoned in the artifact. Looking at the other people present, it seems that one's own soul is the most suitable.

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. After suppressing Albian's spirit, Danlei locked it in a dark room to calm it down.

He indicated that if this thing remained stubborn, Danlei wouldn't mind directly blocking its consciousness and using it only as a tool dragon from now on.

Then, Danlei turned to Azazel and said

“Governor of the Fallen Angels, I sense that you possess the soul of the Dragon King.”

Upon hearing this, Asaher immediately denied it three times.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, you're framing me."

However, Dan Lei didn't dwell on this issue at all. He wasn't interested in Fafnir's soul, after all, a Dragon King-level dragon was far inferior to a Second Heavenly Dragon.

Therefore, Dan Lei said directly
"Alright, now you can explain why Kokabil, a fallen angel cadre, caused trouble on my turf, and the people you brought attacked me."

Can I already assume that the fallen angels have declared war on me?

At this point, Azazel dared not say that Orpheus and the two Heavenly Dragons were both in Danlei's camp, and that the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom from Celtic mythology was also in Danlei's camp.

If Danlei could mobilize the power of Norse mythology, he could launch another divine war and single-handedly fight the three major forces of the Bible. The fallen angels would be far beyond his reach.

If Danlei really only wages war against the Fallen Angels, other forces will definitely not get involved.

Instead, they will watch as the fallen angels are wiped out.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Danlei is in the right.

The current Fallen Angels cadre deliberately went to Danlei's territory to cause trouble and even clamored to destroy the city, which is clearly a provocative act.

So Azazel could only awkwardly explain...

"I'm saying these two guys acted on their own and have nothing to do with fallen angels, do you believe me?"

Dan Lei smiled and shook his head.

"That depends on what makes me believe you."

Asahiel's eyes lit up when he heard this; he understood what Danlei meant.

All they want is compensation, right? That's easy. They can spend some money, even if it means the fallen angels will have to tighten their belts to make ends meet in the future. It's better than being wiped out.

So Azazel tentatively asked
"Mr. Danlei, what do you think the fallen angels need to offer to convince you?"

Here, Danlei was too lazy to argue with Azazel and said directly...
"Give me detailed information about your research on artificial artifacts, and I'll believe you."

Otherwise, the fallen angels are provoking me, and I will simply annihilate you and take what I want from your corpses.

Upon hearing this, Azazel was immediately enraged. The research on the artificial artifact was the culmination of his years of hard work and the power of the entire Divine Child Watchers. Yet Dan Lei only moved his lips a few times before trying to leave.

Moreover, they used a threatening tone, saying things like, "If you don't give it to us, we'll take it from the corpse."

This is intolerable. If Azazel were all alone now, he would want to fight Danlei to the death and show him his backbone.

However, reality did not allow him to do so. As the governor of the fallen angels, Azazel was responsible for the entire race of fallen angels.

After glancing at Orpheus again, Azazel suppressed his anger, weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed.
"No problem, I'll give you all the information on the artificial artifact when I get back."

Danlei is very easy to talk to. Anyway, Azazel can run away but he can't hide. If he dares to break the contract, I dare to really rush into the underworld and start a massacre.

At worst, the data from the artificial artifact can be read directly from the researcher's brain after the divine child monitor is killed.

Therefore, Danlei agreed.
"Okay, I'll give you three days."

After Danlei finished speaking and had Orpheus dispel the barrier, he tossed the now useless Vali directly to Azazel and said...

"By the way, you probably don't know this, but the kid in your hands actually betrayed you a long time ago. Go back and interrogate him properly. He joined a terrorist organization called the Calamity Group, intending to start another war between the gods."

Also, this Kuoh Academy was restored by you fallen angels. You must restore it before dawn tomorrow; you can't let the students be unable to attend school.

　Don't find it strange that someone would ignore a wound that keeps bleeding.

　　Because that's how the author almost got himself killed.

　　The author's chronic hemorrhoids, which he has had for over twenty years, flared up again recently.

　　Because of a lack of attention, blood was drained intermittently for a full month, which directly led to severe anemia and almost caused him to faint at home.

　　Only then did the author agree to go to the hospital for surgery and stay for three days.

　　All I can say is that this thing has been with me for too long. Every time I think, "Forget it, it'll get better in time." But surgery is painful, a waste of time, and costs money, so I have to take time off work. That's why I keep putting it off.

　　This is a lesson learned the hard way; readers should take heed.
