Flame originally wanted to say, "Ever since Yume disappeared, you've gone from being a dog to a cat."
However, considering that if she said such words, this place would immediately turn into a battlefield, and might even affect Takami Sahashi, who was unable to evacuate in time, she could only swallow back what she wanted to say.
If it really came down to a fight, Flame knew she was no match for Ravenfeather, but Ravenfeather's characteristics also meant she was unlikely to lose. Even if she suffered a defeat, surviving or escaping would be a piece of cake for her. As one of the few elemental ability users in the entire sequence, she naturally had a higher starting point than her brothers and sisters. Although she hadn't been able to train intensively before due to her deficiency, she was now confident that she could accumulate enough experience in a very short time.
Currently, she and Ya Yu are evenly matched, but in another month, she is confident that she will be able to match Ya Yu. Ya Yu has already encountered a bottleneck in her strength, while she hasn't even started training yet.
Chapter 4. Flames and Raven Feathers
Strictly speaking, the power of the wagtail is a very idealistic power that cannot be explained by existing science.
Just like an ordinary person, if they are angry and get into a fight, it won't help them except make them think too clearly and easily lose their temper.
However, the Sekirei is different. The Sekirei can truly increase its strength through emotions, moods, and beliefs, regardless of whether these tendencies are so-called righteous or evil, they can all amplify the Sekirei's strength.
If the anger of an ordinary person is impotent rage, then the anger of a wagtail is nuclear rage. Forget about unleashing a percentage of its strength, it's possible for its strength to instantly multiply several times over.
The mysterious power possessed by the Sekirei is simply unreasonable. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Sekirei cannot unleash their full potential to this extent. It can be said that the Sekirei has a relatively high lower limit to its strength, but its upper limit depends on the extraordinary individual it develops. Overall, its strength is not too high, and its ceiling is only about this level.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and even the unreasonable Sekirei has its special cases. For example, No. Kocho and No. Kuno, these two special individuals are not known for their combat strength.
If we're just comparing combat power, Hu Die and Jiu Neng are typical "useless" cards. Even in a mobile game, they'd only be used as storage for fusion materials. However, this is because the two haven't been able to properly develop their abilities, and the incompetent researchers at MBI don't know how to help them tap into their potential, which is why their strength is so lacking.
The power of the wagtail lies in its spirit. Possessing strong self-confidence and an optimistic attitude can enhance its strength to a certain extent. However, when a wagtail loses its fighting spirit or lacks self-confidence to its core, its power will develop much slower than that of its kind.
It can be said that Hu Die and Jiu Neng are typical examples of those who failed to lay a good foundation at the beginning. Li Wei also learned about their past through information from within MBI. Both girls had a common problem: they had encountered major setbacks at the very beginning of their development.
It was precisely because they had experienced setbacks that they lost confidence in themselves, feeling that they were not good at using their abilities or fighting. This escapist mentality caused the two girls, who could have become strong, to be completely ruined.
Fortunately, the power of the Sekirei is based on the power of the mind. As long as the two can cultivate their self-confidence, their stagnant strength can be restored.
Hu Die is a good example. Her abilities had been ruined, but after following Li Wei, she was encouraged by him to muster up the courage to train herself again. Moreover, her abilities were greatly improved. Although she was still inferior and relatively weak compared to other adult peers, Hu Die's progress was quite remarkable compared to her past self.
Therefore, Li Wei felt that the researchers under MBI were of varying abilities. Some highly capable researchers could maximize the potential of the Sekirei, while others were incompetent, even if given Sekirei with high starting points, they could still ruin them. In Li Wei's view, the research institute where Akitsu worked, from the person in charge to the specific implementers, consisted of incompetent mediocre people, wasting Akitsu's good talent.
Sahashi Takami sensed the subtle tension between the two. She knew very well that most Sekirei disliked Karasuha, and even the other members of the Punishment Squad maintained a basic level of wariness towards him.
After all, Raven Feather is a person bound by the past and has a strong tendency to self-destruct. This unstable mental state makes people around her try their best not to offend her. Another important reason is that they can't beat this mourner.
Sahashi Takami said, "Alright, alright, it's getting late. Homura, you have to leave tomorrow. Remember to pack your things carefully, especially your bank cards, don't lose them."
Sahashi Takami, like a nagging old woman, used this method to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
With a smile on her face, Ya Yu turned her head slightly to avoid meeting Yan's gaze.
Yan said in a low voice, "Your smile is so fake, it's like a robot. You can only smile, you're no different from someone with facial paralysis."
·Requesting flowers·· ······
Raven Feather still wore that mechanical smile. Her smile was beautiful, but those who knew her knew that it was very fake, just something to fool outsiders.
Raven Feather laughed and said, "If you had experienced something like what I did, you would have been just like me. Perhaps your terrible personality would have made you unable to laugh at all, just like an ordinary human woman going through menopause."
Sahashi Takami said, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm still here. I'm just a normal human woman going through menopause. I'm really sorry!"
Ya Yu laughed, "That's just a figure of speech. Only after losing something important can one truly appreciate the value of a smile. But soon, I'll be able to genuinely smile. No.'s adjustments are nearing completion, and she'll be here soon, won't she?"
.. .
Raven Feather's smile widened, making her grin somewhat distorted and more like a fox. But beauty is undeniable; even with this maniacal grin, her beauty remained undiminished. This kind of eccentric beauty is exactly the type that some people with a strong taste would enjoy.
Flame frowned. She knew what had happened back then; in fact, almost all the top ten wagtails knew about it.
Flame said, "That child is not Jie. By projecting your feelings for Jie onto that child, you are desecrating Jie."
Sahashi Takami was so surprised that the unlit cigarette in her mouth fell out. She hadn't expected that Yan would bring up such a sensitive topic.
The wind howled, and Ya Yu's figure had vanished from the spot. The intense wind pressure made it impossible for Sahashi Takami to open her eyes, and she instinctively covered her face with her hands. This kind of gale reminded her of Fuuka, who could control the wind.
When Takami Sahashi opened her eyes again, she saw a terrifying scene.
Flame was grabbed by the neck with one hand by Raven Feather and lifted up.
Flame's slender, white neck seemed about to snap at any moment. Flame's face was filled with disgust, while Crow Feather's face was twisted like that of a demon.
"You know nothing! You have no right to speak to me condescendingly!" Raven Feather said hoarsely to the Taoist priest.
Chapter 4. The Secret of Raven Feathers
A look of pity appeared on Yan Ying's face, which was both handsome and gentle. In particular, her condescending gaze stung Ya Yu's heart.
Flame said calmly, "I don't want to look down on you. We are both wagtails, equal beings. You brought this upon yourself."
Yan showed no fear of being choked; the expression on her face remained unchanged from before.
A nervous smile appeared on Ravenfeather's face. She wanted to put Flame down, but in that instant, she felt her hand loosen, and sparks flashed before her eyes. She felt something pressing against her back, like fingers.
Flame appeared behind Ravenfeather, raised his right hand in a gun gesture, and pressed it against Ravenfeather's back.
At this moment, the tension was at its peak. Even the beautiful Sahashi was numb. Two top-tier Sekirei were fighting right there, and she was completely stunned.
"Um... let's talk this out. Look at you two, what kind of talk is this?" Sahashi Takami laughed awkwardly.
Homura lowered her hand, not looking at Sahashi Takami, and said, "Karaba, when you projected your wishes onto Yui, your strength stagnated. If it were me a year ago, I wouldn't be able to do this now. But now, I have the confidence to fight you. Do you know how pathetic you look right now?"
Raven Feather turned her head to the side, her fox-like smile making her appear even more mad.
Ya Yu laughed, "That's precisely why Jie is the obstacle I must overcome. Only by defeating her honorably can I say goodbye to my past self. After all, Jie is too cunning. How can I, a living person, win against a dead person? She ran away with the victory, while I have to lose for the rest of my life. Why should I! So, I want to revive Jie in Jie's body. Whether Jie takes over Jie's body or the two of them merge, it doesn't matter. I just want to win!"
Flame frowned. She was No. 1, while Raven Feather was No. 4 and Kyou was No. 1. They were from the same era, and because of this, she was very clear about the grudges and affections of the past.
She knew that Yabuki's feelings for Yui were extremely twisted; it was a bizarre emotion, a distorted blend of morbid love and extreme hatred. Yabuki hated Yui's innate perfection, which made Yabuki feel like a defective product. Yet Yabuki also loved Yui; the perfect Yui was the goddess in Yabuki's heart.
Then, with regret, Yui chose to sacrifice herself to save Yui, and from that moment on, Karasu went mad.
Jie became a substitute for Jie, bearing the twisted and heavy love and hate of Raven Feather. To be honest, this was very unfair to Jie. Being a substitute for someone else is never a pleasant thing.
However, Jie is a silly and optimistic girl, and only with such a personality would she happily agree to Ya Yu's challenge. The two finally decided the outcome in the sky, determining both the winner and the loser, and deciding life and death.
Any other wagtail would never agree to such a request from a madman; only a fool like this would grant such a dangerous request.
Homura said, "The moment you have the thought of winning, you've already completely lost. Compared to Yume, no, there's no comparison. You can't escape her shadow. From Miya's era to Yume's era, you've always been a pathetic creature in the shadows. Even after you became the captain yourself, you're still the same pathetic creature."
Flame felt a deep sense of disappointment and frustration. She knew that Karasu was using her, Ashimiya Sharon, as a tool to provide amplification for liberation. However, such a twisted idea itself locked Karasu's potential.
In Yan's opinion, all that Ya Yu is good at now is bullying weaklings. If it really comes down to a fight, even she can guarantee that she can escape. Everyone else is moving forward, while Ya Yu has tied herself to the same spot, which is pitiful and pathetic.
Raven Feather laughed, "Is that what you all think? You all think I'm a sore loser? That's right, I just don't want to lose!"
Yaba lied. She wasn't simply thinking about winning. She wanted to wake up Yui. She wanted to see Yui again, even if it was just a glimpse. She wanted to tell Yui, "I love you."
She had waited for over a decade for this opportunity. As long as Jie Nu could hear her innermost thoughts, nothing else mattered. And after that, she would perish together with Jie Nu, never to be separated again.
Flame didn't know what Raven Feather was thinking, but someone else did.
Above the three of them, invisible origami cranes circled continuously. Li Wei used these cranes as a medium to read the thoughts of the three present. Through this method, Li Wei learned of Ya Yu's true feelings, exclaiming, "Holy crap, aluminum ketone!"
However, it seems like it wouldn't be bad for a crazy beauty like Karasu to get along with a cheerful girl like Yui. Moreover, knowing Karasu's weakness, she could totally recruit her.
When he holds the trump card of "Knot," can Raven Feather still escape his grasp? A girl like Raven Feather is very suitable for a life of hard work, perhaps as an agent or something; it seems quite good.
As long as he subtly reveals that he can revive Yui without any side effects, just watch, Yayu will practically hand himself over to him. He might even take advantage of the situation to swindle MBI. Yayu, who is already obsessed with Yui, might even sell MBI if he finds out that he can reunite with Yui.
Li Wei continued to watch the drama unfold. Everyone says that three women make a drama, and it's true. The love and hate entanglements of these past ten years are far more interesting than any of those melodramatic romance novels.
As an immortal being, Li Wei's thoughts inevitably began to slack off towards being a philistine. Even in hell, such a villain would be hailed as an idol by Satan, since Li Wei, who was obsessed with hellish jokes, was sometimes truly inhuman.
Of course, on the surface, Li Wei still puts himself in the lawful good camp, but beneath that facade, he can't escape being a hellish joker in the chaotic evil camp. If it weren't for the fact that the "Yellow Emperor's Ascension Scripture" can absorb the world's fortune through girls, a bad guy like him would be ostracized by the world's consciousness as soon as he enters a new world. Unlike now, where he is not rejected at all despite his good disguise.
Li Wei did some calculations. With the technology he currently possessed, resurrecting the Knot Maiden... wow! Seems pretty cheap.
Converted to RMB, the cost is no more than 40,000 yuan. For him, cultivating a suitable body is not a difficult task at all. He can even customize it to ensure that it can meet all of Ya Yu's preferences. He could even make the headlights of the female car into an F cup without any problem.
Li Wei was eagerly anticipating seeing Ya Yu make a fool of himself by hissing and snarling.
Chapter 44. The Eldest Sister
Li Wei is a person with a strong desire for control. In a world like this with limited potential, unless the planet awakens Gaia consciousness or Alaya consciousness, he would find it difficult to even find an existence with whom he can communicate on an equal footing.
Li Wei is going to the Naruto world, and the Otsutsuki clan should be of value to communicate with. After all, they are all in the universe, and he might be able to obtain some useful information. Of course, the Otsutsuki clan must be eliminated, and as for Kaguya Otsutsuki, it depends on the situation.
Li Wei didn't mind "half-beasts" like animal-eared girls, or even things like two handlebars on their heads. But he really couldn't accept "alien" characters like Kaguya Otsutsuki with huge red eyes on their foreheads. In fact, many of the "inhuman" ninjas in the Naruto world didn't fit Li Wei's aesthetic.
To sacrifice one's human body for power, turning it into something neither human nor ghost, and then, despite all that self-degradation, still not gaining any extraordinary power, is it worth it?
The Sekirei are still the best. At the very least, they're all pretty. If it weren't for the fact that some Sekirei are seriously mentally ill, Li Wei would really want to lower the bar. However, considering that those crazy girls who have a place in the "seriously ill" ward are like Virgil reincarnated, Li Wei has no choice but to give up on some of them and choose to take the best route, attracting those "high-quality" Sekirei.
A wagtail with a normal brain is quite nice.
Li Wei felt that if he were to do espionage work, spy dramas would be impossible to film. This was because not only ordinary people, but even extraordinary beings could not resist his ability to access their memories. Apart from those of the same level as him and those stronger than him, no one else could prevent him from spying on them. Therefore, he could accomplish in just ten minutes what would take dozens of episodes of a typical spy drama to film.
Li Wei continued to stare at the two, Raven Feather and Flame, to see what other amusing things they could come up with.
At this moment, Li Wei's true form was lying on a beach chair, enjoying the sunshine and breeze. Although the natural scenery here was fake, as long as he didn't activate his supernatural perception, this place was no different from reality.
However, Li Weiding did not completely solidify the environment here. Firstly, it would be too costly and would consume a lot of his gold. Secondly, such a large-scale transformation could attract the world's attention and stimulate the birth of a consciousness on Earth.
After all, space is not something you can play around with. Li Wei's spatial expansion is like hanging a painting on the wall and driving a nail into it. The nail isn't big, so the wall is fine.
While spatial expansion technology may seem sophisticated, once the underlying principles are explained, it becomes very practical.
If we don't fix it and directly create space, then this space will be thrown out along with the Earth's gravity and will wander in the universe, becoming what is called a "small blessed land".
The nails Li Wei hammered in weren't big; just enough to stabilize the space. But if he pulled out a few larger nails, prepared a hammer, and swung it into the wall, it would collapse in no time. Of course, Earth isn't a wall that won't fight back. If Li Wei really did that, Earth might get angry and unleash its entire Gaia consciousness. In that case, Li Wei would have to beat Gaia until it cried and submitted before he could continue hammering in nails—that would be too troublesome.
Therefore, Li Wei adopted a "good enough" attitude, avoiding any actions that would provoke Earth in this world. The current beach area was neither expanded nor reinforced; it was simply connected to the hot spring area behind it.
With a whooshing sound, the volleyball came over, and Li Wei stretched out his hand, fixing the volleyball in mid-air.
