Zongman: Evolution Paradise

When you use a skill book to acquire a skill, is that skill lent to you by Paradise, or is it your own power?

From the initial level 1 to the maximum level 10, the Paradise has this setting for skills.

Level 5 and level 10 will each bring a special effect to the skill, and the resulting special effect is determined by the player's subsequent experience and the addition of materials.

What happened next?

The way a player uses this skill, the experience associated with this skill, the achievements made with this skill...

When a player uses the Fireball Jutsu to kill a dragon, the Fireball Jutsu will naturally awaken a special effect against dragons based on this experience.

In a sense, this is similar to the Heroic Spirits in the Fate world, both of which rely on a certain legend to bring special power.

From this perspective, since players can change their skills themselves, this power is unlikely to be something borrowed from the park.

Jolyne looked at the Black Flash on the player panel, which was shining as brightly as the Materialized Split, unlike the other banned skills.

Since it is their own power, can the amusement park be completely sealed off?

Transparency is a supernatural ability, the Golden Light Mantra is a cultivation technique, the Taoist Heavenly Eye is similar to a supernatural power, and materialization and splitting are products of bloodline...

The origins of these skills are diverse, but Black Flash is unique.

Strictly speaking, the skill - Black Flash - is a special technique that involves bursting physical strength and energy in succession with a delay of 0.00001 seconds.

The park banned skills, but not the players' five-dimensional attributes.

Strength is strength, while energy is intelligence.

Since Jolyne can supply magical energy to Servants using the five-dimensional attributes, this magical energy can also be used as a condition for using Dark Flash.

The skill icon simply creates a "spell slot" for players to easily cast spells; if that's not available, then players can rely on their own abilities to complete the casting.

"Hasn't it already been used once?"

"The feeling of black flash."

"I still remember."

Recalling the feeling of her last release, Jolyne dispelled Medea's enhancement magic.

His aura immediately weakened, and ice shards instantly formed on Jolyne's body.

Strength 21, Intelligence 26!

In the sixth second, the Yinluo Banner began to fall, while Jolyne's raised left fist collided directly with Esdeath's rapier!

The ice disappeared, the wind and snow stopped, the cold wave ceased, and this frozen world returned to silence once more.

At a certain moment, the sound of bones shattering rang out as time stopped.

Black lightning pierced the chilling aura at the tip of the sword and distorted space.

As the rapier shattered, the Berserker's tyrannical madness was also shattered at that moment.

Their eyes met again. This time, Jolyne stood still, holding her shattered left arm, while Esdeath fell backward, her armor collapsing along with her rapier under the intensity of the black flash.

At the same time, the time reached the seventh second.

The power of Mahapajapati Gotami finally dissipated, and time resumed its flow.

Having just recovered from the time stop, the Heroic Spirit and Yukino Yukinoshita sensed the surrounding temperature and immediately began searching for Jolyne's location.

From their perspective, one moment Medea's expression suddenly changed, and the next moment the environment had completely transformed into winter.

At this moment, Jolyne's chest was torn open, her body was covered in ice shards, and she had lost both arms, making her look somewhat unbelievably miserable to Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Master!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Jolyne!

Jolyne!

With their shouts, Esdeath, whose armor had shattered, stood up again. Madness once more took over her consciousness, and with the power of the three Command Seals, the cold wave reappeared in the world.

Jolyne stood calmly in front of Esdeath, showing no emotion in response to her actions, and simply whispered, "Don't kill her."

The next moment, before the wind and snow began to blow, Medea's magic had already descended upon Esdeath.

Saber and Medusa stood on either side of Jolyne, forcefully turning back their Noble Phantasms as they heard Jolyne's words. They stood beside Jolyne, worried about her while keeping a wary eye on Esdeath.

Yukino Yukinoshita and Lily also ran over quickly.

“Hurry up, Lily!” Medusa commanded her.

Lily looked at Jolyne's injuries with some confusion, then hurriedly raised her Noble Phantasm in response.

"I...I know..."

"No need to rush, as long as I'm not dead, Lily's Noble Phantasm can restore me to my original state, right?"

Jolyne comforted the flustered Lily, then looked in Steve Rogers' direction and added, "Instead of worrying about me, it's better to quickly seal those three petrified bodies away."

With Medea's magic suppressing them, the three Steve Rogers were already close to their end before the time stop even started, and this wouldn't change once the time stop ended.

After uttering a few harsh words, they were completely turned to stone by Medusa, who was suppressing her anger.

"May no one in this world harm anyone, and may all flaws be repaired!"

As the magical power of Lily's Noble Phantasm surged, Jolyne's body gradually repaired itself, returning to its pre-injury state as if the world had reversed.

Seeing that Jolyne's injuries had healed, Lily breathed a sigh of relief, and with a sob in her voice, hugged her and buried her face in Jolyne's body.

"It's all because Lily is so useless..."

Upon hearing this, Saber, Medusa, and Medea were overwhelmed with feelings of self-reproach.

Yukino Yukinoshita didn't seem to feel anything about it, but she was a little worried about Jolyne's injuries.

Firstly, she simply believed in Jolyne's abilities.

It's just a Heroic Spirit that suddenly appeared. What's there to worry about? Isn't it only natural for Jolyne to fight a Heroic Spirit with her bare body?

On the contrary, Yukino Yukinoshita found Jolyne's injuries hard to believe. Even though Lily had healed her, Yukino Yukinoshita still felt a pang of heartache looking at her tattered clothes and remembering Jolyne's appearance when the time stop ended.

As for the second point, Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that Medea's gaze towards Jolyne had changed.

After Esdeath used Makopotmo, she was severely injured by Jolyne's Black Flash, her weapon and armor shattered, and her threat level was greatly reduced.

Medea used magic to suppress Esdeath and observed the traces around her. Through her eyes and magic, she basically understood what had happened during the seven-second time stop.

Medea walked straight to Jolyne's side, tilted her head back, and asked earnestly, "Was that time stop just now?"

Chapter 185 After the Time Stop Ends

[This chapter has been ordered to be revised. Please forgive any grammatical errors or awkward phrasing.]

[Lily is now an adult]

Jolyne nodded and began to comfort the heroic spirits.

"There's no need to blame yourself; the ability to stop time is indeed difficult to predict."

"Is it that space that allowed Master to act after the time stop?" Ignoring the emotions of the other Servants, Medea stared intently at Jolyne and continued to ask what she wanted to know.

"Yes."

The expected answer made Medea feel dizzy, and her ears, hidden under her hood, felt hot.

Jolyne took Medea to the workshop's space last night, and everything there made Medea feel like her brain had shut down.

Although it was described as a space, Medea felt that the workshop had transcended the realm of fixed barriers and even the realm of gods. Its fantastical abilities were less like technology and more like magic from the world of Fate.

How can the workshop protect us from being affected by time stop?

If that's the case, why did Jolyne still come out of the workshop?

That's the Berserker with the highest stats, a Berserker with unstoppable killing intent and overwhelming power!

Doesn't he know who his opponent is?

Knowing that no one could help him during those seven seconds of time stop, knowing that even the most powerful Berserker couldn't harm him once he returned to the workshop, knowing that they were just Servants he had recently met...

"Even in such a life-or-death crisis, the Master did not betray him..."

When the time stop ended, Jolyne's image was etched into her mind. Medea wanted to get closer, but was blocked by Lily in Jolyne's arms.

"Why stay and fight Berserker? Wouldn't it be simpler to just go back to the workshop?"

Overwhelmed by her emotions, Medea bit her lower lip and pulled Lily aside. Her face, hidden beneath the hood, drew close to Jolyne, her blue eyes filled with seriousness.

When Medea asked the question, Saber, Medusa, and Lily, who had just been pulled away and was quite unhappy, all stopped and looked at Jolyne, waiting for his answer.

"As your master, isn't it only natural for me to stand up for you when you're in crisis?"

"It's just a seven-second time stop. I'm not some useless Master."

Upon hearing this answer, Medea pressed her hand against Jolyne's body, her elven ears trembling uncomfortably within her hood, much like her emotions. Finally, Medea's heart raced, and she stood on tiptoe.

木啊

The sound of contact with Jolyne rang out, but it wasn't Medea; it was Lily, now an adult, who pushed past Medea and leaped into Jolyne's arms.

The now-adult Lily made no attempt to hide her emotions, wrapping her arms around Jolyne's neck and touching his cheeks as she said, "Master, these words are really too much."

"I understand, Lily, come down quickly."

Jolyne said helplessly.

So much has happened in just one morning, and there's still so much to deal with.

“…Hmm.” Lily let out a soft groan, then touched Jolyne again before letting go of her arm.

As she landed on the ground and was stared at by the others, Lily blushed slightly.

Medea stared blankly at everything, her chest heaving, clenching her fists to suppress her desire to use magic to kill her younger self.

Jolyne looked around. There were five statues of Steve Rogers, and Esdeath bound by magic. She hadn't seen the true faces of the high-level players yet, and she didn't know whether Esdeath was created by the pursuers or by another player.

Like a typhoon passing through, a meteorite falling, and a cold wave hitting, Homurahara School also needs some preparation.

Jolyne rubbed her left arm, which had fully recovered. The two Command Seals were still on it, not disappearing despite the collapse of her arm.

"I was a bit careless. I was fine when I hit Black Flash before because I had the Ghost King bloodline to heal my physical injuries. But now, the damage from Black Elbow is too terrifying."

Without the protection of her bloodline, even with Jolyne's high tolerance, the moment she released Black Flash, her left arm felt excruciating pain as it shattered. Her physique simply couldn't withstand the full force of Black Flash's release.

If you want to use the force of 100 to move a value of 100000, you must be able to withstand it yourself.

Because he couldn't concentrate while releasing Black Flash, the Yinluo Banner fell to the ground. Jolyne picked it up and handed it to Medea, saying, "Medea, take this equipment first. It will allow you to better utilize the Yinluo Banner's effects."

"I understand." Medea shyly took the Yinluo Banner and put it inside her cloak.

“Saber, Medusa, please go and destroy the surrounding area, at least make sure the marks aren’t too noticeable.”

Medusa immediately went to do it, and Saber glanced at her Master Yukino Yukinoshita. Seeing that she had no objections, she followed Medusa.

Saber wasn't too worried about Jolyne; she admired him for being able to fight Berserker single-handedly and without flinching during a time stop.

"If there's ever a chance, let Jolyne become a Knight of the Round Table."

Saber glanced at her oath and the sword of victory, then unleashed a beam of light to destroy the few remaining buildings, leaving no trace for mortals. The simplest way was to bury everything.

By the time they uncover the traces below, they will likely have gained little, and by then the Holy Grail War will probably be over.

Jolyne brought five Steve Rogers into the workshop, so it's obvious that the real Steve Rogers was also alive.

If the pursuers knew to have the Hydra captain impersonate them, how could Steve Rogers possibly send all of his individuals?

However, Jolyne already knew how to obtain information about the enemy; she could do so through Esdeath.

The pursuers have no idea that Jolyne possesses the power to steal other players' Servants, and through Esdeath, they might be able to obtain some interesting information.

The problem now is, even if we take ownership of Esdeath, how do we get her back to her sanity from her Berserker class?

Medusa and Saber went to deal with the traces of the battle, while Medea secretly took Lily away from Jolyne, using magic to cover herself up, and like a bad woman, began to bully Lily in the workplace.

Jolyne walked towards Esdeath, who was about to kill her. Yukino Yukinoshita, seeing that no one was around, also came over and asked in a subtle tone, "You weren't doing this on purpose, were you?"

"Isn't Yukinoshita a little too critical of me?" Jolyne shrugged and pointed in Esdeath's direction. "I don't have the ability to foresee everything. All I have is the ability to make the right judgments when faced with choices and my own capabilities. When the Berserker arrives with time-stopping, I should stay, and I have the ability to stay."
