I know that you Great Yan people respect your ancestors, but no one told me that your ancestors could be dragged into a fight!
I'm truly at my wit's end now, and I've suffered a crushing defeat.
The Fourth Army is gone, the power of the Year Beast is gone, the Lungmen plan is ruined, and the Reunion Movement has collapsed. If his experiences during this period could be made into a game, Honkai Impact 4 would have no problem approaching him directly.
"Don't think I'll give up. This is just part of the plan. I will continue..."
A hand landed on Kosich's shoulder, and at the same time, a chilling voice rang out.
"Duke Kosiché, may you be blessed."
Even knowing he couldn't win, Kosicé was determined to fight back, but at that moment, he felt himself being caught.
It was a very strange feeling. If I had to describe it, it would be that Wan Qi had grabbed me on a soul level, and that he had ripped my soul off Talulah's body as if he were changing clothes.
Necromancer's Hand of Souls
A hand capable of grasping the soul can pull it out of the body, requiring the user to possess extremely strong mental fortitude.
Coincidentally, Wan Qi's countless self-destructive soul-tearing experiences in the Red Sea world gave him a soul strength that even giant beasts could not match. Almost effortlessly, Wan Qi pulled Koschche's soul out of Talulah's body.
The once-powerful Kosiché became a toy in Wan Qi's hands.
Section 74: Wilding's Concerns
(One update today, taking a break from work, GBP = ('.'*))) Sigh)
Amiya had a very long dream. In the dream, she met a great hero who was omnipotent, accomplished great deeds, and the most perfect being in everyone's hearts. She was just a Sona who followed him, and apart from knowing some Originium Arts to soothe the mind, she could do nothing else. However, she did not choose to distance herself because of the distance between them. Instead, she worked hard, kept learning, and developed her Originium Arts in the "path of joy". In the end, she became the master standing by his side and even entered his heart.
No, that wasn't my own dream, but Sister E's memory.
The bright moon in the sky found its own sun, and from then on it only shone on one person, that was her destiny.
A person who can hold the whole world in their heart is only the world in someone else's heart.
Will I... also meet someone like that?
"Amiya, Amiya, Amiya!"
The voice grew clearer, and Amiya opened her eyes with a hint of confusion, only to see the person calling her.
"Wan... Qi..."
"Thank goodness you're alright. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain this to Kal'tsit when we got back. Can you stand up?"
"Mm." Amiya nodded and stood up from Wan Qi's arms.
There are no abnormalities in his body; in fact, you could say he's abnormally healthy.
Amiya realized something and quickly moved her right arm.
Not long ago, some Originium crystals invaded this location. Although Dr. Kal'tsit performed a very successful minor surgery, once Originium crystals invade a certain part of the human body, that place will continue to grow. Rhodes Island's technology can at most suppress their growth, but cannot completely solve the problem. So, since that day, Amiya has felt something strange whenever she moves her right arm.
Now, that strange feeling has disappeared, and my body feels much lighter.
"Your situation is even worse than Frostnova's. People who don't know better would think you've become a sentient being from Originium."
Wan Qi was playing with a piece of pure source stone, which he had separated from Amiya's body. He had taken the opportunity to resolve the hidden dangers in the little rabbit's body when she was unconscious.
However, to Wan Qi's surprise, something inside Amiya's body was constantly absorbing the energy of the Originium, and the Originium crystals in the surrounding environment were also constantly gathering into Amiya's body. Therefore, unless that thing was removed, Amiya's Oripathy could not be cured, and even his own privileged operation could not do so.
But it's fine to make Amiya feel a little more relaxed, so she can continue her treatment. It's also an effective way for me to get closer to the future CEO of Rhodes Island, so that I and Virtin can have a stable foothold on Terra.
The more mutually beneficial the ties, the stronger the alliance—this has been proven by our ancestors through historical experience.
"This is... the Originium crystal inside me!?" Amiya was shocked.
Even with Kal'tsit's technology, removing so many Originium crystals would require a major surgery, but there were no surgical marks on her body. That could only mean that Wan Qi had removed the Originium crystals from her body through some special means.
The technology in this other world is truly advanced.
"Yes, here you go. It's been purified and is safe now. Keep it as a souvenir."
"Thank you... thank you..."
Amiya felt a mix of emotions as she accepted the "gift" from Wan Qi. She had a subtle feeling, like a kidney stone patient who had just undergone surgery and was now storing the stones in her body, but the feeling of feeling relaxed was wonderful.
"The matter is resolved, and the danger has disappeared. Let's go back to Rhodes Island."
As Wan Qi spoke, he lifted Talulah, who was unconscious beside him, as if he were carrying a sack of rice.
“This is… Talulah! What happened to her?” Amiya asked.
"She's fainted, but she's not dead yet. However, given her special status, returning to Longmen is definitely out of the question. The best course of action... I do have a good place to detain her."
Wanqi immediately thought of his Red Sea world, where Talulah would be the safest place to be kept, ensuring she couldn't escape. He had personally tested it and found it effective.
There's no need to worry about Chernobog's core city anymore; in the battle just now, it was completely wiped out.
Kosiché's plan has failed completely, and he himself, or rather, part of the Black Serpent, has become Wanqi's possession.
With Wanqi and Amiya gone from the battlefield, it's foreseeable that this place will be quite lively for some time to come.
Lungmen is safe now. Rhodes Island has won a great victory...?
"Wan Qi!"
As soon as he returned to Rhodes Island, Virtin rushed over and threw himself into Wanqi's arms, hugging him tightly.
She was very upset; what Kosich had said to her before filled her with fear.
Great power inevitably comes with a huge price. The power of the mysticism is never free. Equivalent exchange is just the best outcome of this system. Most people give everything on this path, but end up losing even more.
Remember: Equivalent exchange is merely the most beautiful outcome in the realm of mysticism.
Reality is never that rosy; the people involved may not even know why they have to pay such a high price, or when they will have to pay that price.
Regardless of the outcome, the final result will inevitably be death.
Does that mean that one day, Wanqi will suddenly disappear, just like the friends in the "storm"?
The more she thought about it, the more terrified Virtin became, and she tightened her grip on Wan Qi's arm.
This amount of force wasn't enough to make Wan Qi shout "I can't breathe," but the change in force and the fluctuation in his emotions immediately made Wan Qi realize that something was wrong with Virtin.
What is she afraid of?
"Alright, alright, I'm back. I'm all here, right, Amiya?"
Wan Qi wanted to change the subject, but when he looked at Amiya, he found that she was staring at him as if she wanted to see something out of his face.
Something is wrong. Ten percent or even nine percent wrong.
"Huh? Ah! Yes, yes." Amiya realized what was happening, nodded vigorously, and then lowered her head, not daring to look at Wan Qi again.
what's the situation?
Amiya's reaction left Wan Qi baffled.
He didn't notice that at that moment, Virtin raised his head, looked at Amiya who had just lowered her head, and then tightened his grip on Wanqi's arm.
Next, it's time for the meeting.
Those present: Wan Qi, Kelsey, Amiya, Virtin, and Chen Huijie.
The topic of discussion was simple: how to deal with Talulah.
Chen Huijie was overjoyed to see her sister again, but how to handle the situation became a new problem.
Unfortunately, there weren't any Paradox Interactive players present who were completely devoid of conscience. Otherwise, given Talulah's current status, any ruthless Paradox Interactive member could easily use these claims to turn the Terra map into a rainbow flag, thus ushering in a unified era and ensuring that Terra would have only one voice. Apart from a "certain degree" of population loss, there probably wouldn't be any major problems.
Trust in the conscience of Paradox Interactive players! (Seriously)
Even because of Talulah's complicated identity, it's not allowed for her to die on Rhodes Island, nor is it allowed to drag her out and kill her, because she has already been brought back. From Yan Kingdom to Ursus, and even further to Victoria, countless eyes are watching this place.
Therefore, the final solution was handed over to Wanqi.
Once Talulah is locked up in the Red Sea World, she's fearless and nobody can control her. If you're so capable, go find her in the Red Sea World yourselves. Even if you can find her, don't forget that's Wanqi's absolute home ground. If the portal opened by the Dimensional Phone allowed Wanqi to pull people in regardless of their strength, Kosichie and the Year Beast illusion would have easily dissolved into the Red Sea just now.
Do you like Wan Qi, who possesses limitless power, limitless life, and an unpredictable attack limit?
Let you fly!
"Thank you for your help, Your Excellency Wan Qi."
Regarding the Talulah issue, the person most grateful is Chen Huijie. She is well aware that whoever takes over Talulah at this time is providing shelter and bearing all the corresponding troubles. Even Ruiyanwu cannot bear this risk, and even if he could, the subsequent chain reaction would be unpredictable.
At this moment, a person with a mysterious identity, unpredictable whereabouts, and extraordinary strength, who can provide an absolutely confidential detention location, is Talulah's savior, and even more so, Chen Huijie's benefactor.
“This isn’t free; let Wei Yanwu provide some nutrition expenses.”
"That's exactly right!"
Chen Huijie agreed very readily. Everyone knew what this money actually meant and was the foundation for building a bond between the two parties. If Wan Qi really did this good deed without asking for anything in return, then it would be Wei Yanwu's turn to have trouble sleeping.
If you want something, you want dignity, so that everyone can have dignity.
There is still a lot of work to be done, but Wanqi and Wilting have already completed their tasks. Although Wilting is the Doctor of Rhodes Island, she won't be stationed here permanently. The Sichen Squad is the core of her operations, so the two of them are basically always in a hurry to come and go. Rhodes Island's main role is as an ally and a support base.
Now, another Dragon Gate will be added at the rear, which will make it much more convenient for Wei Yanwu to make purchases here in the future.
"The biggest problem with mysticism is that it cannot be mass-produced, and the number of people trained per unit of time is very limited. I am willing to teach magic, but I don't have any students at hand. We have to open our own school if Constantine is not going to open the First Line of Defense Academy to us."
Wan Qi knew, of course, that the First Line of Defense Academy was an important asset of the Foundation. Even if he could get in, he couldn't influence its educational model in a short time. But the fact that he could directly recruit students from it was enough to achieve the effect of "borrowing a chicken to lay an egg." Only when the Si Chen Squad became the Si Chen Brigade, or even the Si Chen Column, could they talk about independence.
Without enough talent, an organization can't even get off the ground; it's just an empty shell.
"Next phase, we should... Veldine... Veldine? What are you thinking?"
"Ah! Sorry..." Virtue jolted awake, clearly having been lost in thought.
"Why are you so distracted? Have you thought about something more important?"
“I…” Virtue hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.
"Are you too tired? You're right, you've been working hard all day. We're not a foundation that doesn't even spare minors. Take a good rest first."
With that, Wan Qi got up to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Virtue reached out and grabbed Wan Qi's sleeve. Her face was pale, and her hand holding Wan Qi's was trembling slightly, but she still tried to keep her tone of shock and asked softly, "Wan Qi, do you... have a teacher?"
"Teacher? Why are you suddenly asking this?"
"Because every power comes at a price, Wan Qi, you must have paid a heavy price to obtain such power."
"Well... I'm not really sure what to say."
For Wan Qi, learning and studying the various spells in the necromancer's memories was a rare and enjoyable experience during his endless years of imprisonment in the Red Sea. At that time, he didn't care about any difficult problems; he was only afraid that the problems themselves weren't difficult enough to keep him occupied for long.
When you cannot die and have endless time, your advanced mathematics books will become your most beautiful companions.
Stop talking nonsense. Wanqi himself has tested it. If you don't believe me, go and try it yourself.
Moreover, although the necromancer's memories were incomplete, his memories of magical knowledge were very complete, from basic to advanced, it was practically tailor-made for him. Even if it was a hopeless Pandora's box, Wan Qi would open it and drink it all in one gulp. Go ahead and kill me if you dare!
Therefore, the learning cost that a normal magician would perceive simply doesn't exist for Wan Qi. It's his source of joy, and later it can even be described as a kind of hope—maybe one day he can escape his predicament using one of the spells mentioned above.
Although it was the dimensional phone that ultimately helped Wan Qi escape his predicament, you can't say that the magical knowledge that had accompanied Wan Qi for so many years was useless.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
Virtin subconsciously felt that he had touched a nerve with Wanqi, something he must have found unbearable to recall.
It is immoral to make others recall your painful memories. Even if you have British citizenship, you cannot be as unethical as the British government.
"I have a feeling you've misunderstood something."
Wan Qi stared at Virtin's face, while the latter habitually pulled down his hood.
The girl had become completely accustomed to having something on her head, and would pull down the brim of her hat whenever her emotions fluctuated.
It's estimated that Virtue herself didn't even notice her little action, but her emotional fluctuations were quite obvious to Wan Qi's mental perception. At most, he couldn't accurately determine what kind of emotion it was, but he had a general direction.
For example, right now, Virtue is feeling worried.
What is she worried about?
Oh! I see.
Imagine you are Veltin, and in two life-or-death battles, you can only be a powerless bystander due to your own lack of strength, watching your comrades fight. Each time, you can do nothing but worry. Anyone would feel guilty in your situation, and this guilt would turn into worry for your comrades.
Considering my close relationship with Virtue, which was practically on the verge of being exposed, this girl must feel sorry for me.
Who says that life is prone to four major illusions? I haven't had a single one of them.
In terms of individual combat effectiveness, it is clear that I cannot surpass my own limitations in the short term, and it is unrealistic to expect Virtin to become a second me. Therefore, I can only rely on the collective strength to become stronger.
