But in reality, he felt it was almost impossible for him to suffer the same injury four times.

With just one spin, he became largely immune to the Holy Light Slash. After two spins, he was practically completely immune, and the uncle couldn't harm him no matter how hard he tried.

The "Power of Creation" seemingly written on the Wheel of Apocalypse only begins to adapt after injury. In other words, after basically two rotations, attacks below the fourth rank will no longer be able to cause him any damage.

Therefore, it's impossible to complete the fourth lap.

It's possible that even attacks above the fourth rank wouldn't be able to harm him. After all, in Li Ge's perception, after spinning around twice, his resistance to this type of attack was likely over 80%, approaching 90%.

It's even possible that even a mythical-level being would be unable to inflict "injury" under the Apocalypse Wheel's judgment if subjected to a Holy Light Slash.

Li Ge had finished testing his new ability, and just as he and the bear-like man were arm in arm, looking like buddies, and were about to continue the banquet, he saw Valerie beating up a little boy with yellow and purple hair.

Li Ge stepped forward and said cheerfully, "The kid has quite a good taste in color matching."

Upon hearing this, Valerie seemed to punch even harder, her blows now delivered with force and precision.

Soon after, at the banquet, Saint Gluckia put his arm around Li Ge's shoulder, calling him "brother" while pouring him drinks.

Li Ge also shouted "Brother" while drinking heavily.

Just when he felt he was about to pass out drunk, the Wheel of Revelation above his head suddenly spun around.

The next moment, Li Ge immediately sobered up and said, "Brother, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want!"

ten minutes later……

Valerie's father was dragged away by the maid like a dead dog. In front of him was a barrel of wine that had already been emptied. He guessed there wouldn't be a second half today, and it was even a question of whether he could go to work at the cathedral tomorrow.

Li Ge acted as if nothing was wrong and said, "Why are you looking at me? Keep playing the music and dancing!"

Valerie: "..."

After his own father had a few sips of horse urine, he and Li Ge became like brothers. So what was he? Should he call Li Ge "Uncle"?

Yi Lian clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Your thing can even tolerate alcohol? That's a bit much."

"So, this Noble Phantasm is completely illogical. How could a normal Noble Phantasm have such an outrageous effect?" Valerie said angrily.

She also couldn't understand the clown masks worn by Li Ge's parents.

Previously, their Noble Phantasms were all fakes, so they thought that genuine Noble Phantasms should be this powerful. But now their Noble Phantasms have evolved several times, and they have either become genuine or are close to being genuine. However, they still find Li Ge's clown mask outrageous.

It's like when they first awakened their Noble Phantasms, seeing Li Ge's clown mask was like a frog in a well seeing the moon in the sky, but now that they have their own Noble Phantasms, seeing the clown mask's abilities again is like a floating object seeing the blue sky.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Ge's Noble Phantasm was so unstable, they would really think it was the most outrageous Noble Phantasm they had ever seen. Every time it gave them something that seemed unreliable, but when actually used, it was almost like a god-like ability.

Is this the power of comedic talent?

"It's a family heirloom; you can't envy it," Xiaoye said with a shrug.

Speaking of family heirlooms, Yi Lian at least licked Karl's bag. Now he possesses both liquid fire and liquid ice, and can use the hypothetical Honkai at any time.

While Valerie's family may not have the highest potential, her armor is still close to the level of a counterfeit Noble Phantasm.

She herself had no inheritance, and perhaps, for her, the only family legacy was...

“Domain, huh…” Xiaoye murmured softly.

"Cheer up today, let's give Valerie a good beating, and tomorrow or the day after, we'll go to the border of the Duchy, and the day after that, we'll go to the Demon Realm." Li Ge smiled at her, seemingly still slightly affected by the alcohol, even though she had gotten used to it.

He even put his arm around her shoulder slightly, something he would never normally do.

"Ah."

Today's banquet was very enjoyable. Li Ge figured out the working method and everyone else ate and drank to their hearts' content. Valerie even gained a new "uncle". We all have a bright future.

……

The following day, Li Ge and his companions casually bid farewell to their eldest sister, who was busy tidying up the house, and Uncle Saint Gluckia, as they prepared to embark on their journey to the border of the Principality.

Before setting off, the younger brother seemed to want to go with them, but a little while later, it seemed that Valerie had broken his leg.

“Let’s go…” Valerie said with a dark expression.

She genuinely couldn't understand why that little brat would idolize Li Ge. She felt that even Yi Lian was slightly better than Li Ge. Although she was also from the same district, she was still better than that abstract piece of trash Li Ge, right? Even if it was only by a little bit.

She didn't understand. Although Yi Lian was normal, he was too ordinary. He was just a standard, androgynous handsome guy.

But Li Ge is different. Although he is not so handsome as to be earth-shattering, he is unique and special enough!

This special quality was an unsolvable blow to the immature kid, especially since the little boy seemed to have seen the lion hidden in his pupils, which made things even more uncontrollable.

In short, he fell into evil.

After saying goodbye, the group left and headed towards the border. In addition to the four of them, there was also an uncle who had just woken up from a hangover, and he also decided to go to the border of the duchy.

Shortly after the group left, the princess of the duchy visited them directly, claiming to invite the people of the upper realm to attend the royal invitation and to bestow upon them the duchy's title.

However, by this time, Li Ge and the others had already left the capital.

Along the way, the group observed the local customs and culture of the capital. To be honest, it was much better than they had imagined, completely unlike the filth, poverty, and chaos of the Middle Ages.

In Li Ge's exclamation, this place seemed more like ancient Athens in the Golden Age, filled with an atmosphere of freedom and art. Even the entire principality was in such an atmosphere, making it hard to imagine that this was a country in a state of war.

The streets were also very clean, suggesting that the principality had officials specifically in charge of managing the streets, rather than being as outrageous as the Middle Ages.

“The border of the Duchy is very chaotic. The Empire and the Duchy have been at odds for decades. This war has reached a point where both sides are in a bind. Since I’m going there, I’ll take this opportunity to switch positions with my friend…” Saint Gluckia explained the border of the Duchy to several children he thought came from the “divine realm.”

He would also explain the culture of some principalities he encountered along the way.

For the first time, Li Ge and his companions truly felt like they were traveling in another world.

In other worlds, the threats were either the Undead King of the Undead Scourge, the dual threat of Senior Karl and the Goddess, or even more ruthless divine blood monsters.

Now they are instead strolling around, leaving the capital and going to the border to take a look.

Li Ge and his group also shared their travel itinerary. They planned to visit the border, then go directly to the Empire for two days, followed by a visit to the Demon Realm before returning to report that they were safe and sound and then departing.

As for concerns about strength...

Saint Gluckia had already tried it yesterday, and Li Ge's adaptability was simply superhuman. He felt that even if he tried his best, he would not be able to defeat him.

Later, after learning that Li Ge was an assistant and intelligence officer, while Yi Lian was the main combatant, his expression became even stranger.

He was no longer afraid that his daughter's friends would be in danger; in fact, he hoped that the Empire would take action against them and cause some trouble.

After all, he had been fighting the Empire for so long, and the Empire's most troublesome opponent was none other than General Ryan, who was almost a fourth-tier general, and his strategist and advisors.

……

"What? What do you mean by the strongest in the empire? General Ryan was betrayed, and then he and his staff were tricked back to the capital by the Emperor's twelve orders, put on the Spirit Binding Rope, and sentenced to death?" Having just arrived at the border and heard the news from the empire, Saint Gluckia felt that this world was too crazy.

Chapter 240 Did the Empire Commit Suicide?

When Santa Gluckia first heard the news, he immediately had a "subway, old man, cell phone" expression.

The features of his entire face seemed to be scrunched up, which was quite comical.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" Valerie asked directly, showing no respect to anyone.

Li Ge and the others also came over curiously.

“My enemy seems to be committing suicide…” Santa Gnacia said with a constipated expression, and then explained just how outrageous the incident was.

For the Duchy, General Ryan and his staff were like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. It was because of them that the Duchy had to put almost all of its strength on the border with the Empire, otherwise they would have been destroyed and their country would have been overrun.

The duchy has no near-fourth-tier individuals, but with its city walls, strong fortresses, and several legendary figures, it can barely hold off General Ryan's attack. And this very person, who was fighting well on the front lines, was inexplicably summoned back to the capital by twelve imperial decrees, then ambushed and captured in a magic-forbidden area, and was sentenced to death.

My enemy is eliminating their own MVP; he seems about to commit suicide. What should I do? Is this for real? It's urgent...

This scene is akin to a nation cutting off its own head and then asking others if they're afraid...

After understanding the situation, the others also looked as if they had seen a ghost.

"No, what's going on with the Empire? Did they really draw a bad hand after all their hard work over generations?" Valerie asked directly.

This move completely stunned them, especially Li Ge, who suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity upon seeing it.

This is so familiar, they're censoring their own MVP. Whose move was this again?

“I also suspected I was mistaken, but it’s the truth. Our spies practically ran themselves ragged, confirming the information from multiple sources before we could verify its authenticity. The Imperial border is now leaderless and in a state of panic. We’re considering launching a surprise attack on the Imperial border,” Saint Gluckia said, but then he let out a long sigh.

"Why are you sighing?" Valerie asked, puzzled.

"I...sigh..." The uncle was still sighing, but he didn't know how to answer.

"Perhaps it's a kind of 'the rabbit mourns the fox's death' mentality," Li Ge added.

He didn't know what the idiom "the rabbit dies and the fox grieves" would mean in a translation software, but it seemed that everyone understood what it meant.

In fact, Valerie's family is similar to that of General Ryan in the Empire. The uncle is similar to that of General Ryan in the Duchy. His mortal enemy did not die on the front lines, but died because of the betrayal of his own country. This scene was extremely impactful for him.

He must be thinking, "Will I end up like this?"

Li Ge believed that Valerie's father was not thinking about seizing an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Empire at this moment, but rather how not to make a mistake. He guessed that he was dumbfounded by the Empire's actions and was now cowering in fear, as if he was afraid of following in his old rival's footsteps.

If the Duchy's empress had any sense at this point, she could have increased her efforts to appease the Duchy's generals, ideally through political alliances like marriage. She could have stabilized the situation quickly and even launched a counterattack against the Empire.

However, Li Ge felt that the high-ranking officials of the principality might not have the brains to do this.

After Valerie figured it out, she felt like her head was about to explode.

“Damn it, the only power capable of unifying the continent seems to be rotten to the core,” Valerie said.

Saint Gluckia: "..."

Well, it seems that even though the empire is in ruins, the duchy has no intention of expanding its territory.

Well, the duchy doesn't have a strong desire to invade. This is actually related to its terrain. The duchy is located in a huge basin with fertile land and a pleasant climate, so it has no intention of leaving the basin. It believes that as long as it guards the key passages in the basin, it can rest easy.

The Empire, on the other hand, is a victor in a battle royale tournament that emerged from the plains outside the basin. They are inherently inclined and accustomed to unification and expansion.

Therefore, even Saint Gluckia can now see that, from the perspective of the entire continent, only an empire can achieve unification, but...

“We’re citizens of the Duchy, after all. Your way of speaking makes it sound like we’re from a spiritual empire,” the uncle complained about his daughter’s thinking.

"The main problem is that the Duchy is too unambitious. If you had even the slightest hint of unifying the continent, I wouldn't say this..." Valerie complained directly.

"Sigh, no, I can't stay here any longer. I feel like ants are crawling all over me." Uncle Santa Gluckia said directly, "I originally wanted to go out and have fun with you, but let's part ways here for now. I have to get back to work."

Valerie's father requested to leave the team and then went directly to the front line. I guess the others on the front line were also quite confused.

"Sigh, you all said the empire was full of vitality, with everything thriving. According to my estimate, it should have been able to break through Father's defenses and invade the duchy within ten years. How could it suddenly commit suicide for no reason?" Valerie was still in shock from the news.

The group fell silent.
