After being enveloped by a jet-black energy, the area suddenly dissipated, replaced by a figure clad in alien armor, completely devoid of human characteristics.
An ominous force swirled around them, making Funina's heart tremble.
At the same time, she was also a little scared.
"The power of the abyss...?"
Funina was not entirely unaware of the name "Abyss".
After all, she had not only consulted all of Fontaine's books, but also read books from other countries. In addition, by sending the Pure Water Spirit as an intelligence gatherer, she knew more or less the meaning behind the name.
The previous water god died in the battle of Keria, which involved him, and it is said that the other seven gods also suffered losses in that battle.
This is something that could threaten the lives of even gods, so of course she, a weakling who can't even beat a slime, couldn't be unafraid.
"...Guh...you can beat him, right?"
Upon sensing danger, the obedient Miss Funina quickly shielded Jiang Qiao in front of her, hiding behind her and trembling as she watched Jacob, who had transformed into an apostle of the abyss, ask him in a low voice.
Although she had seen Jiang Qiao in action, she had only seen Jiang Qiao play in the Lone Star Salon, use a hat to hold seawater, and take her out to sea. As for serious combat, she had never seen her do it.
Although I knew he seemed very strong, I still had no confidence in myself since I hadn't actually met him.
Besides... he used my body!
As Funina smelled her own scent, she suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.
I know perfectly well how useless my body is!
With a pounding heart, Fufu asked tremblingly:
"Will you win?"
“You will win.”
The blue-and-white-haired girl looked calm and natural, completely unconcerned about the Abyss Apostle before her, radiating confidence.
"...Hmm, that sounds a bit ominous, but it doesn't really matter."
With a gentle lift of his hand, an incomparably magnificent azure one-handed sword, resembling a scepter, appeared in his grasp.
—The brilliance of still waters flowing.
That is to say, it is a specialized weapon, but for Jiang Qiao, it is just a handy weapon.
Of course, unlike before, he added something to it when he was making this sword.
The faint glow revealed an indescribable sense of holiness, and the thin blade was full of sharpness; just one glance at it made one feel a slight pain in their eyes.
Everything seems to be able to be cut open.
Jacob stared in disbelief at the shimmering, still water.
It was as if the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.
"...The Holy Sword?!"
These two simple words reveal its essence.
That was the sacred object that René and Jacob had been searching for and painstakingly trying to forge, a product that existed only in the story and could be easily separated, whether in substance or in the ethereal will.
In a story, there can only be one.
This weapon, forged from the heart, is the very proof that a hero can use to slay a dragon.
Jacob had been secretly plotting for so many years, not only to actively speed up the tide, but most importantly, to create this crucial treasure.
And now, it was easily born from 'Frinna's' hands.
At this moment, Jacob's eyes were glowing red.
The blue-and-white-haired girl held the treasure she had always dreamed of, a slight smile playing on her lips.
—Come here.
Ps:
Unlimited battles, where participants from all over the world take on local virtual characters and engage in unrestricted global live-streamed battles to gain rewards.
However, in this world, Bai Meiyi's location has almost no ACG industry and no powerful virtual characters, so there is almost no chance of winning in the Infinite Showdown.
After being selected to participate in the battle, Bai Meiyi chose to try her luck with a virtual character from the world before her rebirth in her memories—the Void Commander Huang Quan!
Good heavens, it actually works!
Then things got interesting.
Five insights: We will win.
Virgil: What kind of touwa is this?!
Iron Man: Cooperation is an option, isn't it?
Fellow villager: But you, my friend, you are the real hero!
Snow White: Give me food and I'll fight anyone for you!
Dorothy: Doro!!!
"The evening rain will eventually fall!"
Crossover Anime Showdown: I Attack in My Underworld Form
Chapter 258 I'm talking to the Water God, how dare you, you pretty boy, interrupt?
Unlike the proud and reserved René, Jacob's pride was even greater and more evident than the former's.
As a new life form wielding the power of the abyss, he has always been proud of who he is today.
When this pride was disregarded, even knowing that the being before him was the Water God of Fontaine, Jacob still felt genuine anger.
Of course, the fact that the 'Holy Sword' had appeared in 'Frinna's' hands did indeed make him somewhat wary.
This god, who was once so absurd, now seems to be more than he appears.
But what's so strange about that? After all, even after observing for so long, I hadn't discovered that this water god's absurd appearance concealed such an unusual side.
but...
So what if it's a holy sword?
The so-called holy sword is nothing more than a special weapon.
Even though Jacob and René had been pursuing it, they never valued it highly; it was merely a 'tool' necessary to complete their plan.
"God of Water, although I don't know why, I still thank you for forging the holy sword that we have been searching for."
"But no matter how sharp the sword is, if the person wielding it is not skilled, it is just a waste of its potential."
"Only in the hands of Master René can the Holy Sword reveal its true brilliance and function."
"Give it to me, God of Water. You should know that this is the necessary choice to save Fontaine. In your hands, it is merely a sharp weapon." A deep, majestic voice boomed like thunder, and Jacob slowly opened his armored, claw-like hand, speaking these words.
"That's not necessarily true... Not everyone who wields a holy sword is a hero—and heroes don't need a so-called holy sword to prove anything." The blue-and-white-haired girl casually raised the beautifully crafted blade, resembling a scepter, and gently stroked the shimmering edge. The sword's essence was indeed the holy sword Durandal. Although it differed somewhat from what Rene and the others wanted, there was no doubt that this 'holy sword' could do no less than the one that the blond fool had obtained; it would be far superior.
After all, this was a 'device' developed by a previous civilization to divide the world.
"If you really want it, come and get it yourself."
"Although I, as the God of Justice, do not appreciate such an old-fashioned way of judging as dueling, sometimes it seems that only violence can make people face reality."
"Then, I'm sorry!"
Seeing that the negotiations were not going well, Jacob, who had transformed into an apostle of the abyss, stopped talking and enveloped himself in an ominous abyssal power, attacking 'Frinna' at a speed that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
The Abyss is a power that transcends elemental forces, and this power originates from the blood of Erinus. After absorbing a large amount of Erinus's blood, he has clearly reached his peak.
The girl didn't move an inch, as if she hadn't reacted at all.
Jacob was confident that he could cross those few meters in less than a breath once he was in the zone, and at the same time he felt a touch of pride and disdain.
Ha, he looks so impressive, but isn't he just a good-for-nothing?
That's about all the so-called gods are capable of.
But that's understandable, after all, he is a new human who has mastered the power of the abyss, so what can even a god do?
Jacob slightly reduced his strength.
Although he was a scoundrel who even deceived Melusin, he couldn't really be considered a member of the Fontaine's humanoid apes.
As for the water goddess Funina, although he didn't pay much attention to her, he still held her in high esteem.
Therefore, killing gods is definitely out of the question—especially considering, according to René's research.
Even the weakest demon god is still a demon god, and their death will bring enormous impact and disaster to the surrounding area.
Jacob did not want to personally experience what the so-called 'demon's wrath' described in the records was like.
Therefore, all we need to do is render the water god incapable of resistance and seize the holy sword.
