National Destiny: Starting with a gender-swapped role as Artoria

Page 17

"The current situation is like a rainy day, making people feel depressed and suffocated..."

"Bedohham, actually, I like watching his games the most..."

"Me too……"

"And I……"

--------

Wu Yue looked at the two people in front of him.

Wow... one is Eriri from Saekano... and the other is Bedorham, a soccer player. They're both celebrities.

And this girl named Shiogure Ai actually knows Wood Release...

Hmm... Am I dreaming...?

Thinking about it, Wu Yue looked down at her current body again and touched her battle skirt...

I'm not dreaming. I've been gender-swapped and played as Artoria on live stream, what's the point of having a dream?

Shio Mu Ai slowly stretched out her hand in the air and slowly clenched it into a fist.

The giant branch began to split into smaller branches, which unwittingly wrapped around their necks.

Their hands and feet were pulled apart by the branches, making it impossible for them to struggle. Eriri and Bedohham were immediately filled with pain.

Hey! What are you doing?!

Upon seeing this, Wu Yue immediately asked.

Chao Mu Ai turned her head to look at Wu Yue with a puzzled expression.

"Of course it's about eliminating representatives from other countries. This is a war for national destiny; aren't we in competition with them?"

"That's a bit..."

Wu Yue looked at Bedohham and Eriri again and found that they were both looking at her.

"In the end, they are just ordinary people. Their mission is simply to kill the Titan Ape. If we can let them go, we should try to let them go."

Shio Mu Ai didn't answer, but gave a wry smile and lowered her hand.

Bedoh and Eriri immediately fell to the ground, coughing and clutching their necks in pain.

"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Let's ask them which Western country they represent first."

Eriri coughed.

"Who...who are you?!...Where is my grandma...where is she...?"

"Miss...this really isn't a surprise party..."

Bedokham said with a distressed expression.

Chapter Sixteen: The Clash Between Baki Hanma and the Titan Ape! Hanma's Blood Remains in Pompeii!

Meanwhile, on the other side, was the son of Yujiro Hanma.

Baki Hanma was strolling leisurely through the Starry Sky Forest with his hands in his pockets.

"War of national destiny, what exactly is that? By the way, is this a forest? It feels a bit magical..."

Baki Hanma looked around at the scenery: dense, towering trees, beneath which grew strange, unidentifiable plants that emitted a faint glow of various colors.

Very beautiful.

I became quite engrossed in it for a moment.

"Aren't there any animals or anything in this forest?"

Baki was a little confused. As he walked, a huge lake appeared in front of him.

Baki looked up at the night sky, a view that was impossible to see from the city.

The stars and the moon shone brightly, their reflections shimmering on the horizon of the lake.

It's like a fairyland on earth.

Baki grinned, unable to contain his excitement, and decided to take off his shirt and go for a swim.

Suddenly! The blood of Fanma was stirred!

Baki tensed up instantly! Cold sweat poured down his back! He slowly backed away, looking towards the lake!

Why are there no spirit beasts around here?

Because this is deep within the Star Dou Great Forest! It is the habitat of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python!

On the calm lake surface, a small ripple slowly began to appear.

Then something black peeked out.

Baki looked towards the center of the lake and saw that it was a head! A chimpanzee's head!

"Huh? Chimpanzees? Are there chimpanzees here?"

The Titan Ape's form slowly appeared; it swam to the lakeshore and came ashore.

It has a black and gold pattern on its exterior, but its size is only average.

Baki looked at the chimpanzee, his excitement barely concealed.

The purity of Baki Hanma is also very high!

Baki, in order to defeat his father and fulfill that destined father-son battle, will naturally clash with a strong opponent!

However, Baki is also a seasoned fighter! He gets excited when he encounters a strong opponent!

Bliss!

"Strange species of stars, interesting."

With an excited expression on his face, Baki deftly took off his shirt and pants, leaving him only in red shorts.

Classic pose!

He raised his hands, wary of the black gorilla in front of him.

The black gorilla shook its body to dry its fur, then turned to look at Baki beside it.

He frowned.

Although the Titan Ape cannot speak, its intelligence is undoubtedly on par with that of ordinary humans.

—A Soul Master? How did he get here? And why is he taking off his clothes?—

Just as he was trying to figure out how to deal with this freakish Soul Master who had barged in...

Baki instantly focused his attention! He became absorbed in his own imagination! He underwent a process of exhaustion that transcended physical weakness!

Within the realm of artistic conception!

Baki melted the fibers and muscles beneath his own skin! His fingers were stretched! His flesh turned into a pulp and began to slowly fall off! Even his bones melted away!

In Baki's mind, his physical form had completely collapsed, liquefying into a flesh-colored, viscous leaf-like substance.

Finally, even one's own consciousness dissipates!

And at this point, the transcendence has been achieved!

This instant lasted only 0.2 seconds!

The time is now!

Baki moved!

Baki launched a surprise attack!

--Bang!--

His feet bent, crushing the earth! Power exploded! His body pressed straight against the ground!

The distance is less than a centimeter!

His body lunged forward! Like a sprinting cockroach! Like a Shinkansen bullet train!

Baki arrived in front of the Titan Ape in an instant!
