It's quite frustrating when the Sword in the Tree can't defeat the Sword in the Stone. Although one is the original, the original's popularity is a bit low. After a battle, Arthur seized an opportunity and used the Holy King Sword to cut the Sword in the Tree, ending Siegfried with one blow. There's no point in keeping such a radical demon swordsman around.
Heracles had been lying dead for a long time because he was stabbed to death by the Twilight Sacred Spear. As for Jeanne, her opponent was Rofea, whose attacks were much worse than her brother Arthur's.
So, Jeanne didn't die. After a long stalemate with Rofea, Arthur stopped her. Arthur's knightly spirit prevented him from killing Jeanne, and he persuaded her to surrender.
Cao Cao was still being beaten by Wang Xiaoming to the point of doubting his life, and the Holy Spear was even snatched away by Wang Xiaoming.
Thus, the entire Hero Faction was annihilated by Wang Xiaoming and his group as soon as they entered Kuoh Town.
The Hero Faction all fell. Everyone was captured by Wang Xiaoming. To make these guys obedient, Wang Xiaoming used the technology he developed from studying Sacred Gears to successfully separate all of their Sacred Gears from their bodies.
Taking Cao Cao's Sacred Gear was the easiest; he just took the Twilight Sacred Spear. As for the other Sacred Gears, he needed to use special techniques to extract them from their hosts.
Wang Xiaoming successively extracted the Absolute Mist from Georg, the Beast Creation from Leonardo, and the Sword Birth from Jeanne. Adding Cao Cao's Twilight Sacred Spear, Wang Xiaoming suddenly had several high-quality Sacred Gears.
As for Siegfried's Dragon Hand, Wang Xiaoming didn't even glance at it. It was too ordinary, simply increasing some strength, and not even that much. The key is that it looks ugly.
Wang Xiaoming could create Sacred Gears that increase strength himself, so there was no need for it.
After getting these things, Wang Xiaoming was very satisfied and began his research. The Twilight Sacred Spear contained the will of the God of the Bible. Wang Xiaoming wanted to understand what this will was, but after researching it, he discovered that it was just an artificial intelligence left by the God of the Bible, roughly running according to the program he set. People who conformed to his program could gain recognition, while those who didn't couldn't.
As for the Balance Breaker ability of the Twilight Sacred Spear, it was a very good ability with diverse types. Subspecies Balance Breakers could handle most situations, like the Ten Incarnations in the Godslayer world. One authority had multiple abilities. The Holy Spear's abilities were also diverse and could cope with various complex environments.
Among the remaining Sacred Gears, Absolute Mist was a very powerful control ability that could seal all objects entering the range of the mist, even sending them into another dimension. However, its upper limit was a bit low. It had to be done before the enemy could react. Once the opponent had a large-scale attack ability or a reality-altering ability like Merli, this Sacred Gear was basically useless.
As for [Beast Creation], Wang Xiaoming was willing to call it the strongest!
This Sacred Gear can create all kinds of magical beasts, provided you can imagine them. You can even understand it as a materialized magical beast specialization.
What does this represent? It means that as long as you have enough imagination, you can even create those Outer Gods of the Cthulhu Mythos!
If that doesn't work, creating a berserk Unit-01 is no problem either.
This Beast Creation can be said to be super powerful, but unfortunately, Leonardo's development of this Sacred Gear was too low!
Wang Xiaoming said that he happily accepted it!
This kind of Sacred Gear that creates magical beasts based on imagination and makes the created magical beasts 100% obedient is simply the best toy for him!
He can create all kinds of fun magical beasts.
As for Absolute Mist, Wang Xiaoming gave it to Merli. Merli is very suitable for this kind of thing. Merli, who was originally a control character, now has an additional Absolute Mist to strengthen her control ability, which can be said to be a very good match.
As for Sword Birth, Wang Xiaoming doesn't need weapons, but Sword Birth is a good ability, so Wang Xiaoming plans to keep it and give it to someone else in the future.
Both Arthur and Xenovia, the two knights in his hand, have their own holy swords, so they don't lack weapons. Asia is a professional healer and doesn't need to risk her life like in the original plot, so it's better to give it to someone else when he meets them in the future.
As for the Twilight Sacred Spear, Wang Xiaoming plans to return it to Cao Cao. This thing originally belonged to him, and he developed it the best, so letting him use it is the best choice.
However, the premise is that Cao Cao can be honest and work hard to protect this world, and not think about unnecessary things.
After Wang Xiaoming researched all the Sacred Gears, Cao Cao and his group also recovered under Asia's treatment.
Especially Cao Cao, who had been beaten into a pig's head, finally had the swelling on his face reduced, at least looking like a human being.
After learning from Merli that Cao Cao had been healed, Wang Xiaoming took the Twilight Sacred Spear and came to Cao Cao. He took out a white plastic chair from his space pocket and sat down, then placed the Holy Spear across his lap, stroking it while smiling at Cao Cao.
"Cao Cao, your Holy Spear is really easy to use."
635. Playing with the Holy Spear in front of Cao Cao
In front of Cao Cao, Wang Xiaoming kept stroking the Twilight Sacred Spear with both hands, like stroking a craft, very gently, while stroking it, he praised it.
"Cao Cao, I have to say, your Holy Spear is really great."
After researching the Holy Spear, Wang Xiaoming was completely clear about the internal operating principle of the Holy Spear.
But the thing is, Wang Xiaoming's current posture looks like he is playing with a man's girlfriend in front of a bound man.
At least in Cao Cao's view, that's how it is. His strongest Longinus [Twilight Sacred Spear] was wantonly played with by Wang Xiaoming, and Wang Xiaoming even had a look of flaunting on his face!
"My Holy Spear!"
Although he has changed from a pig's head back to a human, Cao Cao's face is still full of bruises.
"Your Holy Spear?"
A hint of doubt appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face, then turned into a chuckle.
"Indeed, your Holy Spear, but it should be said that it used to belong to you!"
Wang Xiaoming held up the Holy Spear with both hands, then gently turned it.
"Incomparably excellent material, incomparably perfect power, the strongest Longinus, but unfortunately, it now belongs to me!"
"Impossible, the Holy Spear belongs to me. It's useless for someone like you to take it away. The power of the Holy Spear will not recognize you!"
Cao Cao denied angrily to Wang Xiaoming. As the former owner of the Holy Spear, Cao Cao knew best the power contained in the Holy Spear. He was the owner of the Holy Spear, and he knew the rules for using the Holy Spear best. Based on Wang Xiaoming's behavior of slapping him before, he would definitely not be recognized by the Holy Spear.
"You think the Holy Spear won't recognize me?"
Wang Xiaoming said, holding the Holy Spear in one hand and pointing it at the sky.
"Zenith Tempest The Holy King's Brilliant Revolving Lance!"
The Twilight Sacred Spear immediately bloomed with golden light, causing Cao Cao to open his mouth wide. He wanted to widen his eyes, but was stimulated by this dazzling light and could only close them and turn his head.
After the light disappeared, he slowly opened his eyes and saw Wang Xiaoming sitting on a plastic chair with a golden halo slowly rotating behind him. On the halo, seven treasure balls were slowly spinning. It was obvious that the subspecies Balance Breaker that Cao Cao had used before was perfectly used by Wang Xiaoming.
"This!"
Cao Cao stared wide-eyed at the halo behind Wang Xiaoming, his face instantly filled with despair.
His current position was entirely due to the Twilight Healing, Holy Spear. Without the Twilight Healing, Holy Spear, he would just be someone who was a little better at wielding a spear. Forget about challenging gods and Buddhas, he might not even be able to defeat a low-level devil.
If the Holy Spear couldn't be taken and used by others, he wouldn't be afraid. At worst, he would just lose and die.
But now, his Holy Spear could actually be used by others, and even activated its Balance Breaker in front of him. This was a blow to him even more severe than death.
Because losing was considered dying in battle, but the Holy Spear being easily used by others directly negated all his efforts. It showed that all his previous efforts were useless, and everything he could do, others could also do as long as they picked up the Holy Spear. The Holy Spear wasn't exclusive to him.
This blow directly stunned Cao Cao. His original movement to stand up was halfway through when he paused, then plopped back down, slumped on the ground, with a look of despair.
Wang Xiaoming, looking at Cao Cao's despairing appearance, was very satisfied.
Yes, this was the effect he wanted, this was the blow to you, Cao Cao. Relying on the power of the Holy Spear, Cao Cao was too arrogant, thinking he was amazing. Wang Xiaoming wanted to tell him that without the Holy Spear, you are nothing. Not only that, but others can even use the Holy Spear to kill you!
"Looks like you've been hit hard."
With a smile, Wang Xiaoming spoke again.
In despair, Cao Cao only glanced at Wang Xiaoming without saying a word. He felt that this person was talking nonsense. Who wouldn't be hit hard after experiencing such a thing?
"Looks like you, who inherited the name of the hero Cao Cao, aren't a hero at all. You've just given up on yourself after having your power taken away."
"Heh~ So you want to come and mock me properly?"
Cao Cao finally spoke, staring coldly at Wang Xiaoming, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Don't look at me like that, because it's useless even if you look at me like that. This is the price you pay for bringing people to Kuoh Town."
Wang Xiaoming said, waving his hand to the side. Meili, who had been following Wang Xiaoming, nodded and turned to face the door next to her.
"Let them in."
After Meili finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and Arthur walked in. Following Arthur were Leonardo and the others who had been captured.
Siegfried and Heracles were already dead, so they weren't there anymore, but the remaining three were still alive and had now been brought in by Arthur.
"Cao Cao, you've been captured too."
Jeanne saw Cao Cao kneeling on the ground as soon as she came in, and couldn't help but laugh. Yes, she laughed!
This made Cao Cao feel annoyed and helpless at the same time.
He understood the moment he was captured that the remaining people would definitely be captured as well, but since everyone was captured, why are you laughing at my embarrassing appearance? You're the same as me, right? Are you out of your mind?
"Cao Cao, I didn't expect you to have this day too, hahaha."
Jeanne not only laughed, but even directly mocked him.
"So I said, acting according to your plan is impossible. It really didn't work!"
Cao Cao's face was very dark. He wanted to curse, but he held back in the end, because he had now lost the Holy Spear and was bound to the ground. His combat power was not much higher than Jeanne and the others.
"Alright, Jeanne, stop talking."
Leonardo saw that Cao Cao's face was frighteningly dark, and reached out to tug at Jeanne's clothes, telling her to stop talking. If she continued, Cao Cao might bite someone even if he couldn't stand up.
"Tch!"
Although she was very unhappy, Jeanne had to stop mocking after Leonardo persuaded her, and instead went directly to the side and sat down on the bench.
The others followed her and wanted to sit down, but Arthur directly kicked them up.
"Who allowed you to sit down?"
Arthur pushed up his glasses after kicking Leonardo to the ground.
"As prisoners, you must be aware of your status as prisoners!"
Leonardo, who was kicked, was angry but dared not speak. There was nothing he could do. They were now the captured party and had no right to speak. They could only listen to what Arthur said, but....
"Why can Jeanne sit down?"
"Is that so."
Arthur looked at Leonardo.
"Are you also a woman?"
"......"
There was no way to say that.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, then...."
Wang Xiaoming sat on the plastic chair, crossing his hands.
"Let's talk about your Sacred Gears."
636. You are the Hero of Humanity!
"Absolute Mist is really useful. It's very convenient for defense or positional warfare, or for controlling enemies first, and it even has a different space. It's really useful."
"The same goes for Creation. As long as I want, I can create all kinds of magical beasts. It's really useful. I can even use this thing to create magical beasts of the Heavenly Dragon level."
"Like the Holy Spear, both of your Sacred Gears are also very useful."
In front of everyone, Wang Xiaoming once again began his previous NTR behavior, allowing the three Sacred Gear hosts here to watch their Sacred Gears being played with in Wang Xiaoming's hands, one by one looking as if they had lost their parents.
As for Jeanne's Sword Birth, Wang Xiaoming didn't use it much, because it wasn't even a Longinus, it was too weak, so he didn't bother to take it out.
After showing off to these three original Sacred Gear users, Wang Xiaoming also began his true purpose.
"Cao Cao, what do you think you, as a human, should do?"
Wang Xiaoming's sudden question stunned Cao Cao for a moment. What did it mean, what should he, as a human, do?
"What do you mean by that?"
"As a human, after awakening the Holy Spear, you wanted to use the power of the Holy Spear to challenge the various pantheons. I'm right, aren't I?"
"That's right, so what? The Holy Spear is already in your hands now."
Cao Cao replied unhappily.
"Then I have something I want to ask you. After you, as a human, have challenged the various pantheons, what then?"
"What?"
"That is, after you have challenged the various pantheons, let's say you win. You and your subordinates beat all the pantheons, then what? What are you going to do then?"
"I....."
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't think of what he would do after doing these things. He had only thought about challenging the various pantheons before, and had never considered what he would do after challenging the various pantheons.
"So you haven't thought about it at all, have you? You only thought about challenging the various pantheons, and never considered what you would do after doing this?"
"There's no need to think about that first. I only need to consider how to defeat the gods!"
"Is that so?"
Wang Xiaoming leaned back on the white plastic chair, looking at Cao Cao with disdain.
