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

Chapter 123 Serious Fluid Exchange

Danlei's willingness to engage Scáthach in close combat is actually based on experience.

When Dan Lei sparred with the Heroic Spirit Scáthach, he could feel the huge gap between their martial arts styles, but he could still fight for hundreds of rounds even without the help of the Memory Spirit's power.

That's why Danlei repeatedly engaged Scáthach in close combat after unleashing large-scale runic magic.

However, the Heroic Spirit Scáthach is only an avatar of the original body, and her physical strength and magical power are vastly different from the original body.

Danlei can fight against the clones of Heroic Spirits, but he's a complete noob when facing the real Danlei.

If Scáthach hadn't decided that punching the armor wasn't effective and needed to recall the Death Spear, Danlei might have already been riddled with holes.

Realizing that he had no chance against Scáthach with his current close-combat abilities, Danlei decisively abandoned all martial ethics and activated his superpower.

The logic is simple: the reason she can't beat Scáthach now is because her main body is strong, but if she is reduced to her clone form, it will be a different story.

The battle just now has proven that Scáthach is not immune to Albion's ability to halve his power.

Dan Lei immediately activated the White Dragon Emperor's domain.

However, unlike Vali's domain, which halves the volume of targets within a certain range, Danlei's domain is simple and brutal: anything within 500 meters of him that possesses energy will be forcibly halved and used to enhance himself.

No matter how strong Scáthach is, if Danlei really cuts off half of her magic and life force and then gives it to Danlei, the subsequent battle will instantly become a garbage time where brute force can overcome all wisdom.

If the power of a domain cannot be broken by brute force, then it can only be countered by using the domain itself.

Therefore, Scáthach did not hesitate to directly use the power of the Land of Shadows.

【The Gate to a Demonic Realm Overflowing with Death】, Scáthach Skadi's Noble Phantasm in the game FGO.

Although she is a god who was created in the Lostbelt, she is essentially quite similar to Scáthach from the pan-human history.

In the game, the effect of this Noble Phantasm is to temporarily summon a massive gate leading to the Land of Shadows, forming a domain.

Moreover, it is explicitly stated that this is the use of the otherworldly power of another self (Scáthach of the Celtics).

If it were Scáthach herself, and she were already in the Land of Shadows, the power of this move would only be greater.

As a result, the domain that Dan Lei had created was instantly rejected by the world itself, and was forcibly suppressed and gradually shrank.

For Dan Lei, it felt like he was enjoying his ejaculation when suddenly his own semen was shoved back in.

To make matters worse, Dan Lei felt that the magic power within his body was being suppressed.

It was only through the amplification of Draig's power, coupled with the blessing of the power of destiny, that he was able to withstand this suppression and maintain his magical activity.

However, releasing magic power out of the body now is extremely difficult.

On the contrary, Scáthach was now blessed with a bunch of buffs by the world itself.

Scáthach wouldn't miss such a good opportunity. With the acceleration from Rune, she instantly rushed in front of Danlei and thrust out with all her might from her right hand.

Dan Lei raised his sword to block, but was sent flying by the immense magical impact.

Furthermore, Scáthach's pursuit was even faster than Dan Lei's backward flight, instantly teleporting to the left rear to prepare for a fierce attack.

Fortunately, while the magic was suppressed, the technology remained unaffected.

Dan Lei controlled the Sun Wheel Flying Sword and rushed back in time, once again blocking Scáthach's fatal blow.

However, it was far too difficult for the Sun Wheel Greatsword to withstand Scáthach's attacks, relying solely on the quality of its materials and the limited amount of Destiny Power.

A loud "bang!" was heard.

The Sun Wheel Greatsword was shattered on the spot by Scáthach's spear.

However, this was, after all, a weapon made of Xianzhou technology, and the high heat energy contained within it went berserk when it was blasted apart, resulting in an ultra-high temperature explosion.

Scáthach was forced back by the extremely high temperature generated by the explosion.

Dan Lei also took this opportunity to regain his composure.

However, when Dan Lei saw that all that remained of his weapon, which had accompanied him through two worlds, slashed at breeding insects, and fought against the Polkakaka, was the hilt, he felt an immense pang of heartache.

Therefore, Danlei was immediately enraged. Arubian was pulled out of the armor by Danlei, and Draig's soul was seamlessly injected into it.

At the same time, Skarakkabaz's spirit empowers him.

Suddenly, Dan Lei's white dragon armor transformed into light, and his appearance changed, replaced by a red dragon-shaped armor. From within the precious jade came the voice of Draig.
"BalanceBreaker".

However, what caught Scáthach's attention even more was the deadly, extremely cold, unknown energy emanating from Danlei's body.

Faced with the suppression of the Land of Shadows itself, Danlei directly used the power that he had not yet fully mastered.

Echoing interplay: condensation chamber.

This is an intertwined destiny, with reproduction as the primary path and memory as a secondary one.

There's no need to elaborate on Danlei's breeding fate.

Since he did not comprehend his own destiny, Dan Lei could only manipulate it by controlling Skarakkabaz, which not only had side effects but also resulted in very poor control.

Therefore, for Danlei, with multiple life paths involving reproductive life paths, he can only focus on reproductive life paths.

Moreover, the power of an Envoy-level being is almost impossible to control. Dan Lei's balanced destiny path is already at its limit in terms of incorporating other destinies; don't expect it to perfectly reconcile the two.

This directly resulted in the two intersecting paths forming a terrifying chill that instantly and indiscriminately began to erode everything around them.

The power of a single world bubble is incomparable to the power of destiny.

It couldn't even suppress Dan Lei's own destiny power, let alone the power involving the destiny power of an Envoy-level being involved.

Echoing Intertwines: In the game, the effect of the Condensation Cavity is that for characters in the [Transformation] state, the damage dealt to enemy targets in the Frozen state is increased by 20%, and there is a 10% base probability of freezing the enemy target after hitting them.

In reality, the so-called "transformation" state is actually the collection of life energy that was not fully consumed during combat, whether attacking or defending. This energy enhances the user's speed and can be added to the next attack, increasing its penetrating power.

However, this is an advanced technique for using the power of reproductive destiny, and it doesn't require much energy to release in the game.

You asked how Danlei learned this skill when he didn't have a breeding career?

That was learned from Skarabaz's memories, of course.

This technique is instinctive for Skarabaz, and Danlei, after analyzing it, can naturally use it as well.

However, once the memory of destiny is mixed in and the power of ice element is activated, the range of the condensation cavity becomes uncontrollable.

The so-called 10% base probability of freezing the attacked person is, in reality, an extremely cold air formed by the combination of two fate forces.

There is no 10% probability that once it is released, all matter will be affected by it.

Therefore, wherever Dan Lei goes, it's as if the world has been frozen.

Scáthach dared not underestimate the power that Danlei was currently radiating.

But she felt a surge of excitement because she hadn't felt death so close in a long time.

If it weren't for the honor of being a warrior, she would have wanted to hold Danlei tightly in her arms, letting his chilling aura freeze and destroy her soul, granting her eternal peace.

Therefore, Scáthach launched another attack on Danlei without hesitation. However, this time, Scáthach, severely affected by the cold, attacked in a way that was as different as Zhang Sanfeng practicing Tai Chi with an old man in a park.

Dan Lei no longer felt that Scáthach's moves were so fast that they were almost impossible to react to, and that he had to rely on various energy perceptions combined with his sixth sense to intercept them.

Although its attack angles remained tricky and its power was not reduced much, Danlei blocked them all with King Albion.

Furthermore, as time went on, the magical power within Danlei's body, amplified by Draig, gradually began to break through the suppression of the Shadow City.

Meanwhile, Scáthach's movements became increasingly sluggish due to the cold air surrounding her.

So Danlei seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the moment when he parried Scáthach's Death Spear with his sword, before the other Death Spear could pierce him.

He immediately threw the weapon from his hand, sending King Albion flying towards the other gun that was thrusting at him.

Subsequently, Danlei converted all of Draig's increased energy into penetrating power, and in a unique attack style, he gathered all the cold energy he could muster and punched Scáthach in the abdomen.

Scáthach was hit head-on by Dan Lei's punch and flew backward, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater before collapsing and not getting up.

However, Dan Lei couldn't laugh at all at this moment.

Because, at this moment, Danlei also began to taste it.

Scáthach is not without ranged abilities; possessing Odin's Primal Runes, her magical prowess is definitely no less than her spear skills, she just doesn't like to use them in her daily life.

Here, Scáthach's decision to bravely engage in close combat against the chilling air from the condensation chamber is essentially a sign of holding back.

Although she used all her strength in the battle and fought to the death, it still cannot hide the fact that her actions were suicidal.

Danlei clearly saw that when his punch landed on Scáthach's abdomen, her face was filled with a relieved and liberated smile, and her lips didn't even move, as if she were saying...

"Thank you."

So Danlei rushed straight to Scáthach, only to see that her abdomen had been completely invaded by the condensation chamber due to Draig's power, and the infection was rapidly spreading throughout her body; she was on the verge of death.

Seeing Dan Lei arrive, she barely managed to raise her hand, handing him a ball of energy, and said...

"Danlei, congratulations, you won."

This is the authority of the Land of Shadows and all my knowledge and insights. Please accept it.

As for my remains, do with them as you please; as for my soul, let it completely dissipate.

However, Dan Lei said in an annoyed tone.
"Don't even think about it. You'll have to deal with the mess in the Land of Shadows yourself."

As the victor, how can I, as the victor, command you now that you are dead?

Hearing this, Scáthach still smiled and said...
"I could feel my soul being frozen by this cold air."

Based on the battle just now, I'm convinced that you have very little control over this power.

Moreover, even if you remove the cold from my body now, my body and soul will be severely damaged. What's the point of saving me?
"When you want treatment, the cost will be enough to save your own life."

However, Danlei was too lazy to answer Scáthach's question.

After all, he couldn't say, "You really don't understand how powerful the Abundant Destiny is in the field of healing."

However, to heal injuries involving the reproductive destiny of an Envoy-level being involved, the treatment method also requires the intervention of a power of the same level.

Therefore, Danlei immediately switched the intertwined destinies, with the abundant destiny replacing the memory destiny, forming an echoing intertwined: the regenerating spore.

This echoing intertwining has extremely strong healing abilities in the game, and the power of the condensation cavity is currently not being replenished, so it will definitely be completely eliminated.

The only problem is that Danlei is enlightened, but he doesn't have spores.

This twist of fate wouldn't directly result in an organ that secretes spores growing on Danlei's body.

Therefore, for Danlei to save people using Fuda spores, he actually needs to use the special product of Type-Moon, fluid exchange.

Of course, anyone who has any dirty thoughts here should go stand in the corner. Dan Lei may not be able to say anything else, but he has never taken advantage of others to gain an advantage.

In the incident with Heita and Nguyen Mai, Dan Lei, through his memory, had already confirmed that he was the one who was pinned down.

Therefore, Danlei's method of fluid exchange involves directly feeding blood.

By prying open Scáthach's mouth and making a cut on her wrist, the effects of the spores can be released into her body through the bloodstream.

The expanding frost on Scáthach's body was instantly suppressed and then quickly subsided. Within seconds, her life force returned to normal.

Seeing this, Dan Lei stopped feeding the blood, and the wound on his wrist healed instantly. Then he smiled.

"Sorry, you're not going to die this time. Consider what just happened as a death experience card. At least you got close to death again, didn't you?"

Scáthach was speechless. She hadn't expected Danlei's blood to be so potent. Could this be the legendary Tang Monk's flesh from the East?

No, this treatment is definitely more potent than Tang Sanzang's flesh. After all, immortality is just basic for the gods. The injury that can cause even the gods to lose their immortality cannot be healed by the mere ability to make mortals immortal.

So, Scáthach could only stand up helplessly, looking at Danlei with displeasure and saying...
"Now that you've admitted defeat and been saved by you, what do you need me to do according to our agreement? I will do whatever you ask."

However, Danlei simply pointed to the last two spectators in the sky and said...

"Actually, I just hope you can help me protect Orpheus for a while. She has power, but her mind is extremely immature. She wouldn't even know if she was sold out by someone else."

Don't worry, Genovia will take care of the daily needs. You just need to provide accommodation and daily meals.

And, Genovya, could you help me with the training?

I need to step away for a while to face my true trials.

Scáthach, hearing that it was just such a request, naturally wouldn't refuse, but she still said...
"So, the battle with me wasn't the real trial for you."

This makes me curious about what trials you'll face next.

I'll grant all your requests, but I need your promise that we'll fight again after the trial ends.

Dan Lei did not refuse this request and said directly.

"No problem, but the trial period may be very long or very short."

If I don't appear for a thousand years, you can assume I failed the trial and am dead.

　　Gate of Skye
　　The "Land of Shadows"—a magical and otherworldly realm located outside the world, isolated from the rest. A massive "gate" leading to the "Land of Shadows" was temporarily summoned. This was not the work of the goddess Skadi, but rather the Celtic Scáthach manifesting a portion of the "Land of Shadows"—the "City of Shadows"—that she originally controlled.

　　Within the area of ​​effect, anyone she approves of will receive immense happiness and blessings from the "City of Shadows".

　　If used effectively in a regular Holy Grail War, it could even lead to a surprising comeback.

　　Scáthach Scáthach was not sure why she could use this Noble Phantasm. It might be a blessing from the Norse gods, or she might be using the power of another version of herself (Scáthach from the Celtics), that was all she knew.
