"It is regrettable to say this, but Olympia has been completely destroyed. If you fight there, you can disregard everything around you and do your best."
“But on the mainland… I worry that by the time you decide the victor, the casualties will already be countless.”
Hearing her say that...
"In short, we can't let the other side take advantage of the 'location,' right!"
Ling Shu could understand Prometheus's concerns.
but……
"Leaving aside the so-called evil god (Phaethon), there is an ancient hero (Epimetheus) who has lived for three thousand years, plus the sun god (Helios) who is controlled by him, and the corrupted 'fire of heaven' that can unleash its terrifying power at 100%."
This level of formidable enemy is far stronger than the original Antares and Scorpio.
Therefore, Ling Shu did not believe he had any chance of winning before obtaining the 'new divine weapon that was about to be born'.
Without it, even if he reached the enemy right now, he would be helpless with only the severely damaged Orion Arrow...
"I have a few questions."
Ling Shu looked at Prometheus, "Which do you think is stronger, the 'Flaming Eagle Greatsword - Aiton' or the 'Orion Arrow'?"
"besides……"
He narrowed his eyes slightly. "If I were to use the 'Flaming Vulture Greatsword' instead... are there any prerequisites?"
"This……"
Prometheus was stunned.
Chapter 335 I... I remember now...
Generally speaking, while pursuing stability, Ling Shu often likes to make several preparations before officially launching any related actions.
In his view, if the 'new divine weaponry' that Goddess Hephaestus was working with the Emperor and the General to create could not be put to use in time, then he actually had a few backup plans.
First, naturally, they would utilize the detached transformation effect of the 'Primordial Man' magic to forcibly generate a brand new 'Orion's Arrow' as a medium to extend the 'Trinity's' battle time.
Another one is...
"Since Epimetheus is an unconventional 'equipment-focused' powerhouse, wouldn't it be perfect to just take away his 'greatest asset'?"
That's what Ling Shu thought.
Of course, it would be too pathetic for a battle-hardened ancient hero to have his weapon easily taken away by the enemy.
It would be very difficult for an ordinary person to do such a thing.
But... Ling Shu has 'Paimon'.
First use a small hammer to pry open the crack, then use a large hammer... no.
First, I used a 'time stop' technique as a base, then directly stored the 'Flaming Vulture Greatsword' into my spatial inventory...
You know about Lao Tzu's Diamond Bracelet, right?
Isn't the Golden Cudgel awesome? Aren't the Wind Fire Wheels cool?
If you take everything away, what can you do?
And now, Paimon is Ling Shu's alternative 'diamond ring'.
At this moment...
"..."
After listening to Ling Shu's 'ingenious idea', Prometheus shook his head helplessly.
"Unfortunately, while you may be able to easily defeat Epimetheus by doing this, the 'Hellfire' that goes out of control in an instant will also explode... along with Helios's 'divine power'."
The blue-eyed girl (god) sighed, "Now, the only way to successfully save the lower realm is to first defeat the sun god (Helios) who is controlled by Epimetheus. After you defused this 'time bomb,' then defeat Epimetheus."
"On the contrary, the evil god (Phaethon), who was the instigator, can be destroyed at any time without any impact."
It's clear that Prometheus also knew that Ling Shu dared to 'kill a god'.
And based on what she's saying so far...
"Defeating Epimetheus is not difficult; the most important thing is to 'preserve the underworld'."
Ling Shu couldn't help but sigh.
Because what he is about to do is exactly the opposite of what Epimetheus was doing.
The latter wanted to use the power of the corrupted 'Heavenly Fire' in order to successfully defeat the Black Dragon.
As for what kind of terrifying hell the lower realm would become in the process of fulfilling his long-cherished wish... he didn't care.
But Ling Shu couldn't share his thoughts.
"Indeed, being a 'hero' is really difficult."
Therefore, he respected this group, but never wanted to join them.
But now, this heavy responsibility has fallen right on his shoulders.
No one else... not even the gods could help.
So……
"There is only one path left to take."
Ling Shu looked at Seele and Ilya with a serious expression, "Before we set off, I need to level up to Lv.4 first."
******
In fact, Ling Shu also has the option of 'time travel' to play.
But this would be just as described in the prophetic poem: 'Saving is also destroying the world.'
Reopening a completely new timeline means killing the existing one.
Because the current Ling Shu simply cannot create another parallel world.
Furthermore, even if he could do such a thing, it would only mean that a 'completely new parallel world' was saved.
The world as it is now will still be doomed.
Thinking about it this way, the so-called 'time travel' is not even a 'backup plan'; it can only be seen as an 'escape route when all else is lost'.
So, before we actually get to that point...
'upgrade'
Now, Ling Shu can be certain that the so-called 'Heroic Tale of the Magic King' is definitely inextricably linked to him.
Alternatively, the ancient 'Magic King Solomon' might be himself who traveled back in time.
Or, it's about going back to the past... to another version of yourself.
Is that impossible?
No, that's entirely possible.
because……
【¥#@%!&*——】
Ansel!!!
Late that night, considering the urgency of the situation and the limited time left for preparation, Ling Shu went alone to a secret room located underground in the main building of the 'Misty Garden' to conduct an experiment that he had long wanted to try but was worried about causing many negative consequences.
That is: to cast a clone spell originating from the White Witch Philvis Sharia.
It's important to understand that this magic is different from the 'Primordial One'. It's an extremely rare and special ability that, once used, will remain in effect indefinitely unless the user actively cancels the spell.
Incidentally, this magic is also the only ability besides 'Wanting Heart' that can accelerate an adventurer's growth.
Because it can split the original body's [ability value] in two, and then the two grow simultaneously. When they are 'reunited' again, they will possess 'all the [ability value]'.
The White Witch used this move to jump directly from Lv.3 to Lv.7.
Because of her freakish nature, she has consumed countless magic stones, and her [ability value] is already incredibly high.
Of course, everything comes at a price.
Ling Shu is currently unsure about three things.
First, excessive use of Ansel's magic may cause the side effect of schizophrenia.
This is also the fundamental reason why he believes this move is far inferior to 'Airborne Firefly'.
Because 'Airborne Fireflies' directly awaken 'Anima Consciousness' and 'Animus Consciousness', they will not affect Ling Shu himself in the same way.
But 'Ansel' is really just 'an extra version of himself'.
In this way...
"I still have a lot of faith in myself, so I won't do any of that bullshit like 'being my own enemy' or 'being the final boss.'"
Ling Shu is confident in this regard.
but……
Another point:
The White Witch awakened the 'Ansel' clone magic when she 'became a monster' and loathed her ugly self.
So, is this move about 'creating an independently existing clone,' or...?
To create a standalone 'freak' clone?
If it's the latter...
"That suits me perfectly."
What Ling Shu wanted was this possibility of 'continuously becoming stronger by consuming magic stones'.
Therefore, the last thing was the key point he was most concerned about.
which is:
"Is becoming stronger using 'Ansel' simply a matter of accumulating basic ability stats, or can it actually result in a 'level-up'?"
If we understand this, then...
