Facing the Stigmata holder, the Divine Key holder, and most importantly, the Herrscher's lover, it gathered its information and loudly proclaimed—
“Raiden Mei is watching this place. She’s faster than lightning, so you don’t need to worry.”
indeed.
The vigilance that had been lingering within those facilities was withdrawn.
Even if Mei is somewhere else right now, and theoretically doing something else, she will definitely focus all her attention on me.
Jiang Cheng knew what caution meant, and what it meant to outwit the air, especially now that he held the Jizo Mitama in his hand, there was absolutely no need to worry about mechanical equipment.
He moved forward once more, then with a backhand motion, inserted the Jizo Soul into the center. Without even needing a reminder, the power of erosion naturally built up the most basic protection.
Only now could the Grey Serpent truly explain what each facility in front of him was used to test.
These are the basic strength, endurance, speed, and reaction ability, plus Honkai energy resistance and Honkai energy adaptability.
Even if it's just temporary, during the time when World Serpent staff are looking for openings, it's still necessary to conduct temporary training and full-body testing.
……
……
……
……
strength……
what……
Gray Serpent stared at the crack in the middle of the almost solid device, which was made of a mixture of various metals that were only slightly inferior to Soul Steel and had been directly smashed.
Slowly analyzing the power contained within—the facility's screen had been shattered; to be precise, the entire facility was completely destroyed.
Given that even Raven, an incomplete Stigmata holder, is the strongest warrior produced by the conservative fusion experiment, and that Night Owl, the cyborg Chen Tianwu, will later serve as a cadre, World Serpent no longer has any testing equipment capable of handling Jiangcheng's power.
Because there is no need to manufacture high-level instruments nowadays, those would be a waste. What was left behind by the previous civilization were mostly relics. Even if they were usable, they were usually relics from early fusion warriors, or relics from when fusion warriors had never even been born.
Now, everything is simply insufficient to bear it, and it is simply incapable of serving as the fully awakened one of the Stigmata. It is merely a full-force attack from an existence whose potential has not yet been tapped.
As for the specific values...
It cannot be calculated.
Even with the current strength of his left hand, a full-force strike cannot be described in terms of weight or tons, but rather in terms of sheer magnitude. Even without releasing any power, a single punch is expected to shatter the shell of a Temple-class weapon, which even light missiles cannot penetrate. At full force, it could even shatter the outer shell of an Emperor-class weapon.
That's beyond human reach, enough to be called the level of an emperor. If there were no Saint Mark holder, then one person alone would be enough to destroy a country.
Nuclear bombs in the ancient sense are no longer enough to kill them unless there is a complete elemental advantage; only the Honkai Fusion version can match them.
As for the right hand, which is made of soul steel and created by the spiraling Ingevelviel, its current presence seems to be closer to cheering and diversification.
Even those who are utterly obedient to the heroes are now inevitably giving rise to the gray snake.
—Could it be that Lady Vilvi's creations are no longer as good as Jiang Cheng's physical body?
……
"What's next?"
Jiang Cheng moved his right hand, which he could not adapt to no matter what, and glanced sideways at the gray snake next to him, who seemed to be frozen in place, with only the light of its eyes flashing.
"If you're concerned about the damage to the facilities, I won't be responsible for compensation. But if you insist on it, then I'll have to question the value of the World Serpent."
"Of course not," the gray snake replied immediately, pointing to another facility not far away—
"Next is speed."
……
"boom--!"
"patience."
"boom--!"
"Comprehensive combat capability".
"boom--!"
I've lost count of how many times the explosions have happened.
It's like not knowing exactly how many facilities were completely destroyed during testing.
They are either ancient creations or specifically designed for combat personnel or officers. Their maximum load-bearing capacity is below that of Soul Steel, and no instruments have been manufactured that use such a luxurious material as Soul Steel as their primary load-bearing material.
These things, which are sturdy enough for anyone and difficult to wear down even by the passage of time, are like dilapidated wooden planks in Jiang Cheng's use.
Too fragile.
Extremely incompetent.
It's not even enough to support accurate testing in Jiangcheng.
Although all of this was not beyond his expectations, given the current state of affairs and the anticipated decline of the three major organizations.
If Jiang Cheng hadn't been so aware of just how useless humans were in this era, he would have committed suicide the moment he arrived.
Even if they could escape, the first thing they should do is hide in the World Serpent and live out their lives in peace, rather than thinking about assassinating Otto.
His fighting ability, while strong, isn't actually that strong.
It can be understood as a pure numerical monster.
Moreover, it's a pure numerical monster that hasn't fully developed.
Moreover, neither strength nor speed, nor overall combat ability against enemies on the real battlefield, are very necessary nowadays. The only truly useful things are Honkai energy adaptability and resistance. With these two, you can just use the Jizo Mitama as a complete sword stand.
In any case, the assassination of Otto essentially relied on Jizo's Soul to deal damage; otherwise, regardless of combat power, his sheer survivability would have been enough to make anyone feel troubled.
Its Honkai energy adaptability and Honkai energy resistance make it the only facility that has not been completely destroyed.
To save face for the Gray Serpent—even though nobody knows if the mechanical creation actually has that thing.
of course.
The fact that it was undamaged also means that the maximum amount it could unleash in an instant was insufficient to harm Jiang Cheng.
It is only because it does not directly confront Jiangcheng that it can barely maintain its existence.
"There is no need for further testing."
Gray Snake packaged all the detected files and sent them to Feather Rabbit.
As the strongest and most professional fighter known in the world of snakes, her conclusion is—
"A thousand-fold Honkai energy will only cause you the slightest discomfort, and only for the first minute... There is no need to test you anymore. You just need to train a little and learn how to fight, and you can be directly deployed to the battlefield at the Herrscher level."
"Right now, unless she takes action herself, the only threats to you in this world are the Herrscher of the Void and the Herrscher of Thunder who haven't awakened yet. As long as you run fast and don't get hit by the Honkai energy missiles, you have absolutely no chance of being defeated."
They were relaying the description from the professionals.
Artificial fingers are placed on the table.
It really is……
Gray Serpent can guarantee that Jiang Cheng, whom he first witnessed, was definitely not that strong. Even if he already had a Stigmata at that time, the level of threat he displayed could only be judged by the Honkai energy emanating from his body. At that time, even if he fought with all his might, he could at most defeat a Temple-level Honkai Emperor. A lower-level Honkai Emperor would be an existence that would be impossible to fight without combat experience.
And now, only a few days have passed, and all that was said at the beginning was to give him a quiet place so that he could develop his Stigmata. This power has expanded to the point where it is now strong enough to contend with an Emperor-level being, and with the right equipment and weaponry, it can be thrown onto the battlefield against the Herrscher.
Stigmata...
Is this the original Stigmata?
of course.
Having great strength is a good thing.
Essentially a creation of Möbius, the gray snake, which was originally a failed product of the car's front end, was unaware of jealousy.
The recipients were messages from various departments of the World Serpent, and even the voices were the same hoarse, mechanical ones as always.
"Your weapon is already under construction. By modifying the spare armor that Lord Asahi once used, the Equipment Department can complete it within five days. Moreover, after hearing about this, Yuto personally offered to join the research and development. As for the forgery of your and Raiden Mei's identities, it will only take three days. And coincidentally, Schicksal has a banquet to prepare within seven days..."
……
Chapter 89 Training for the Assassination of Otto
It was stronger than expected.
Even knowing that completing this cherry blossom cycle would likely yield very rich results depending on the route chosen, and witnessing firsthand his test report, which was actually just a string of random characters, Jiang Cheng understood for the first time so clearly what level he had reached.
——T1.
Second-tier cities are just below the top tier and the first tier.
Individual combat strength is inferior to that of a Herrscher, and only slightly inferior to that of a Herrscher.
While it's even worse when you factor in combat skills, in a real battle you might be taken prisoner by a second-tier player. After all, in real battles, it's never just about numbers. Even in games, there are city defenses, let alone in real combat, where every strike has to be made manually, not just by pressing an attack button or a skill button and standing still.
The Holy Mark originally offered an opportunity for in-depth exploration; the so-called Path of Heavenly Origin, in the end, wasn't as mystical as it seemed.
The reason why Bianca's actions are so complicated and troublesome is essentially because the Stigmata are related to the entire Kaslana family.
Moreover, compared to the original holders of the Holy Mark, a half-baked one like him has an advantage: when he wants to surpass the limit and cross the Heavenly Origin, he will not face another version of himself or some special test, but rather the predicament left behind by the original holder of the Holy Mark, the true original owner of the Holy Mark.
This might leave the ignorant bewildered, unsure of what to do or how to overcome the challenges, because they don't understand the predicament faced by the former holders of the Stigmata, which is like the plot of Sakura Reincarnation constantly restarting.
But—he's different.
Intelligence, memory.
This seemingly useless and worthless thing, which is completely incomparable to combat power, is the best medicine for victory at this time.
Knowing everything in advance, and even having the interference of erosion, seemingly to increase the difficulty, actually directly wiped out the final powerful enemy with a single blow, turning the original battle instance into a story instance of redemption and salvation, and making the most of his memories as a player.
Tianyuan...
Perhaps he's now just one step away from success.
All I need to do is develop my own power to the fullest extent, and also cultivate a good relationship with Sakura...
point……
Ahhh...
Jiang Cheng recalled the awkward experience of the day—it seemed that Tianyuan was out of the question.
It doesn't matter, it's strong enough as it is now. Anyway, the name Jizo Mitama Sword Stand is not bad.
Others might want to be that person but don't even have the chance.
……
……
……
The next step, naturally, was the start of training.
There's no need to ask Yu Tu for help this time.
The Gray Serpent directly accessed the World Serpent's database. Through algorithms and calculations of the past masters' training patterns, it gathered all the known training modules for Stigmata holders and directly identified the training steps most suitable for Jiang Cheng's physical condition and potential at this moment.
Although it looks very scary.
It's really terrifying.
So frightening was that before Jiang Cheng could even speak, a clap of thunder descended from the sky, effectively vetoing his idea—
"Such training is unnecessary."
"Leave all the combat to me."
—It's Mei.
As Gray Snake said before, Raiden Mei is watching this place, and she's faster than lightning, so you don't need to worry. That statement is indeed very valuable.
It was truly like thunder, faster than the blink of an eye, arriving in an instant before the clouds on the horizon could even gather. The shadows only arrived belatedly a moment after the sound subsided.
Having experienced the pain of training and having taught Jiang Cheng, the girl knew of Jiang Cheng's abilities.
The reason I was able to endure the hardships of training back then was entirely because of the existence of Houmu Sword Saint/father.
That was almost the only way to receive love in his past life. He wanted to make up for the lack of love in his heart and wanted to be encouraged. Therefore, he would do anything and pursue as many things as he wanted at the same time—he would persist in all activities related to nobility, such as studying, swordsmanship, flower arranging, and tea ceremony.
Even so, one needs innate talent to persevere, because one can clearly see the gains and sense oneself becoming stronger, which is why one can endure such hardship.
