Multiverse Skill System

Page 353

I really wanted to yell, "If you're so capable, fight with real skill!" but I held back in the end. That would be too embarrassing, and even if I did yell, it probably wouldn't make any difference.

"What to do?"

His mind raced, generating and rejecting various plans. He couldn't guarantee that he could block this wave of small swords with a lighter cost next time.

"Um, I suddenly realized that this thing is actually not very useful to me. Otherwise, I'll give it to you, and we can fight again next time."

"Take out the Blood of Heaven," Yi Shuihan said with a dry cough.

Upon seeing the blood of the heavens, Zeus's expression clearly froze, his attention drawn to it.

With a cold laugh, Zeus rejected Yi Shuihan's suggestion and simply tossed the small sword aside.

Having learned from the previous experience, Yi Shuihan didn't even glance at Xiao Jian, and simply stopped time. This time, the attack ended again at the cost of a bloody hole.

The small sword possessed a power that prevented Yi Shuihan from recovering. If Yi Shuihan hadn't suppressed it with her power, the injury would have continued to worsen. Of course, it was possible to recover the injury using all one's power, but with Zeus present, it was clearly unrealistic.

Yi Shuihan's current strength is only about half of what it used to be. He can't overwhelm Zeus in a head-on battle; the odds of victory are about 50/50.

"besides!!!!"

Seeing the small sword reappear in Zeus's hand, Yi Shuihan was furious. Things can happen once or twice, but not a third time!

This small sword wasn't the first one, but the third, because the first two small swords had already seeped into the wounds when they pierced his body, and were still damaging his body.

"Host, would you like to use the skill shop feature?"

"Yes! I also have a system."

The system's appropriate reminder pleased Yi Shuihan, and his anger subsided.

Damn it, you think you're the only one with cheats? Let's see whose cheat is more powerful today. I originally wanted to win with real skills, but you insisted on comparing whose cheat is better. Well, I'll grant your wish.

His mind entered the system shop, and in a very short time, he selected a skill, reducing his cultivation points by 10,000. He then smiled at Zeus.

"Is he crazy?"

Seeing Yi Shuihan's smile, Zeus initially mistook it for a sign of madness, inwardly sneering, completely unaware of what was about to happen.

Chapter 891, Reversing Cause and Effect

Reversing cause and effect

Seeing Yi Shuihan injured, Aphrodite was no longer calm as before. Especially when she saw Zeus take out that small sword again, she became even more worried and wished she could switch places with Yi Shuihan and be the one who got hurt.

“No, even if he might blame me afterward, or even abandon me, I still have to help him.”

Having made her decision, Gungnir, which had been put away, reappeared in her hands.

Hera, who had been watching her closely, subconsciously changed her expression and tried to stop Aphrodite from leaving.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I wouldn't mind killing you first."

With the spear pointed at Hera and her expression icy cold, Aphrodite was now in a near-mad state. No one could predict what a goddess in a frenzy would do.

Hera was in a dilemma. To be honest, she didn't want to face Aphrodite in this state, but she also didn't want to actually let Aphrodite help Yi Shuihan fight Zeus.

“Aphrodite, how dare you speak to the Queen of the Gods.”

A slightly deep voice rang out, and Hera breathed a sigh of relief, while Aphrodite's expression was rather unpleasant. Apollo had arrived here at some point.

Compared to Zeus, Apollo undoubtedly wanted Yi Shuihan dead more than he did, so it was understandable that he chose to side with Zeus.

Facing someone who could easily crush her in the past, Aphrodite was quite nervous. Although Gungnir was very strong, she had not yet truly tested him. When facing Hera and Apollo, her hand holding Gungnir was sweating.

"I think it would be better for the goddess to stay."

Hermes also arrived. As Zeus's lackey, he firmly stood on the side of the Queen of the Gods. After the previous theft of the golden lotus, he had also reached the Silver Rank 9. Although the pressure he put on Aphrodite was not as great as that on Hera and Apollo, it could not be ignored.

Now, Aphrodite, who had originally been prepared to give it her all, felt a sense of despair. It wasn't just the three gods in front of her, but she also noticed that the other main gods seemed to be subtly surrounding her as well.

"At this point, it's up to you to decide who the man you choose is."

Artemis was the only one who cared about Aphrodite; while she wouldn't openly help her, she certainly wouldn't kick her when she was down.

"Keep it up, Brother Yi!"

Xiao Jie and the other newly promoted Silver-ranked fighters stared nervously at the sky. With their Silver-ranked strength, they could at least see the battlefield clearly, but those below the Silver rank couldn't discern the nature of the battle above.

"Simon, what should we do if he loses? Are you afraid of Zeus?"

Lu Xiaofeng's four eyebrows twitched simultaneously.

"My sword can cut down everything, Zeus must take my sword."

"I'd like to add a throwing knife to my collection too."

"You're all insane! You really think you're strong enough to deal with someone like Zeus? You're just asking for death!"

But why do I also really want to get promoted? Oh well, that guy hasn't even given me a permanent position yet. If he doesn't die this time, I'll definitely make him give me one.

Having come from the ancient world, Lu Xiaofeng and his companions were willing to die for their friends. Even Sikong Zhaixing, who appeared to be extremely timid, revealed his true nature at this moment. If Yi Shuihan had noticed this scene, he would probably have been very pleased.

Although the other fighters didn't speak, their expressions said it all. Yi Shuihan's selection criteria were up to standard; at least at this moment, no one said anything about wanting to defect to the enemy immediately after his death.

Above the void, the moment to decide victory or defeat had finally arrived. Zeus threw out his small sword for the third time, already fantasizing about killing Yi Shuihan, seizing the blood of the Heavenly Dao, and then reaching the pinnacle of divine life.

Yi Shuihan remained completely calm. Even though he looked slightly disheveled, he gave the impression that everything was under control.

Without adopting a defensive stance or even activating a time-stopping domain, Yi Shuihan smiled calmly and spoke softly.

“I said, all that I have seen is an illusion.”

The voice seemed to resound in the ears of all beings, and it was also like a truth coming from the depths of one's own soul.

The small sword vanished, disappeared into thin air, vanishing without warning the moment Yi Shuihan finished speaking.

Some might wonder if the sword strike was fast enough to have already hit Yi Shuihan while he was speaking.

That was indeed the case, except that Yi Shuihan's skill eliminated that possibility after he was hit, thus causing time to reverse, and the small sword was destroyed as a result.

Just like someone's Noble Phantasm in the Fate world, the Piercing Death Thorn Spear, it possesses the ability to reverse cause and effect, ensuring a guaranteed hit.

The "effect" of striking with a spear, predicated on the heart, determines the "cause" of attacking. Since the outcome is already predetermined, ordinary defense and evasion are meaningless no matter what they do.

Similarly, Yi Shuihan's skill is even more advanced. As long as the result cannot cause fatal damage to Yi Shuihan, he can use this skill to erase the cause.

Because it was a small sword, and Zeus's small sword naturally couldn't cause Yi Shuihan a fatal outcome, at most causing serious injury. So after using the skill, it disappeared, and also turned back time.

"It truly is a divine skill, but unfortunately, it can only be used once."

Yi Shuihan was extremely satisfied with the skills recommended by the system. Looking at Zeus's bewildered expression, he felt that the 1 cultivation points he spent were not such a waste.

You little punk, trying to outdo me in cheating? I'll crush you with my cultivation points.

"Any other tricks up your sleeve? If so, bring them out now, or don't say I didn't give you a chance."

He had an air of "I'm awesome and I'm not afraid of anyone," and his whole body radiated an aura of overpowered arrogance.

Zeus looked at Yi Shuihan, a look of panic flashing in his eyes for the first time. He knew the origin of that small sword better than anyone else. He had obtained a total of 5 swords, and he had used one of them a long time ago to kill a being much stronger than himself.

With the small swords, Zeus could be considered invincible. No matter how strange Yi Shuihan's behavior was, he never truly believed that Yi Shuihan could defeat him, and the two small swords just now proved everything.

However, things have changed now. Just now, Yi Shuihan said something, and then his little sword inexplicably lost its function and vanished into thin air.

disappear.

Zeus still had a small sword but dared not take it out, in case the previous situation repeated itself, he would really have no trump cards left.

"Is this guy my nemesis?"

Chapter 892, Apollo Overcoming His Weakness

Apollo overcoming his weaknesses

Zeus looked at Yi Shuihan with mixed feelings. He felt as if the heavens were against him. He was about to succeed when someone suddenly appeared to stop him.

Gritting his teeth, Zeus took out his last small sword and threw it out again without hesitation.

When the same scenario unfolded again, the little sword inexplicably disappeared.

"Still using this thing? Are you out of ideas? If not, I'm about to take action."

Yi Shuihan was heartbroken at losing another 10,000 cultivation points. This time, he really didn't intend to delay any longer. He was afraid that if Zeus brought out a few more things, he wouldn't have enough cultivation points.

Logically, Yi Shuihan's strategy should have been to stall for time until the Heavenly Dao recovered, at which point Zeus could have declared defeat.

Unfortunately, Yi Shuihan didn't want to see Zeus cause any more trouble.

Even with two large holes in his body, his strength was no longer enough to completely overwhelm Zeus. When Yi Shuihan actually attacked, Zeus was indeed forced to retreat.

Zeus had already developed a fear of Yi Shuihan, and he himself believed that he was no match for Yi Shuihan. When he started fighting, he subconsciously lost two-tenths of his strength. When he realized that he could not gain the upper hand, he became even more convinced that he was no match for Yi Shuihan, and his momentum weakened.

Even Yi Shuihan hadn't expected the battle to go so smoothly; Zeus, having lost his will to fight, was simply a more resilient target.

child.

The power of the tribulation lightning completely overwhelmed the heavenly lightning of Zeus's battle. In a short while, Zeus was already wounded and it seemed that he would be defeated soon.

The situation changed so quickly that the gods below were completely caught off guard, staring dumbfounded as their incomparably powerful god-king was beaten like a grandson.

"This isn't a deity!!"

Zeus's supporters were extremely unwilling to believe what they were seeing, but the facts would not change according to their will.

Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, was no longer flustered. She watched Yi Shuihan display his divine power with excitement. In contrast, Hera behind her showed panic for the first time.

Hera's love for Zeus was genuine. Even though she was a jealous woman who repeatedly and mercilessly punished Zeus's lovers, Zeus never treated Hera any differently because he knew that Hera's love for him had never changed.

"Everyone, let's kill that brat! If we let him kill the God King, where will we have a place to stand in the future? He's a god from another world; we can't let him climb over our heads."

Hera shouted, trying to get the other gods to help Zeus. Her message was that Yi Shuihan was an outsider, while they were one of their own and should not be bullied by outsiders.

It turns out that the gods Hera mentioned were also eager to make a move. Compared to Yi Shuihan, they preferred Zeus to be above them. After all, they had known each other for so many years, knew each other well, and Zeus was even related to them by blood. Even among the gods, this so-called blood relationship was not something to be taken lightly.

It's still better to value someone than to have Yi Shuihan, a complete outsider.

Yi Shuihan can kill Zeus today, and he can kill them tomorrow, which is something they fear.

Zeus cannot die! The gods quickly reached a consensus.

The first to strike was Ares, followed by Apollo, the sun god, and Poseidon, the sea god…

In the end, apart from Aphrodite and Hera, who were the only goddesses facing off, all the other gods went to help Zeus, including Athena and Artemis, who had some affection for Yi Shuihan.

Ultimately, Zeus, unlike Hades, was still recognized within the circle of the twelve Olympian gods.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught of the main gods, Yi Shuihan remained calm and immediately summoned three clones to block the main gods who came to help, while his main body continued to launch a fierce and relentless attack on Zeus.

"Brother, are you sure you want to fight me?"

The first clone smiled and mouthed "pig" to Apollo.

Having understood the clone's lip movements, Apollo's face darkened, but instead of retreating as Yi Shuihan had expected, he gritted his teeth and said...

"I have already overcome my weaknesses. This time, you won't be able to defeat me with underhanded methods."

"You overcame it! How did you overcome it?"

Looking at Apollo with curiosity, the first clone did not believe Apollo's words.

Apollo didn't reveal the method to overcome it, but his eyes grew increasingly fierce. The more he thought about how Yi Shuihan had overcome his weakness, the more he wanted to kill him. If it weren't for Yi Shuihan, why would he have suffered so much?

The clone simply took out a boar, wanting to see if Apollo was really just faking it.

"You really did overcome it!"

Having been watching Apollo closely, the first clone noticed that Apollo didn't react as strongly as he had when he saw the boar before. Instead, the boar in his hand seemed to be trembling under Apollo's gaze.

"Humph!"

Satisfied with the boar's attitude, Apollo couldn't help but show a proud expression, feeling that all the hardships he had endured were worthwhile.

"That's all you've got. All you did was scare a pig."

These words immediately ignited Apollo, who charged at the scene like a comet hitting the Earth.

Faced with the gods whose strength had greatly increased, even three clones were not enough, but they were still temporarily unable to help Zeus.

"what!"

With a scream, Zeus's arm was broken, and he was now disheveled, a far cry from his former glory as the king of the gods.

"You forced me to do this, you forced me to do this! I didn't want to do it either, it was you, it was you..."

As he muttered these words, Zeus's inner universe suddenly burst into flames, erupting continuously.

As Zeus unleashed his power, an unexpected event occurred. Hermes was the first to be affected; his body transformed into a streak of light and flew towards Zeus. After being caught in Zeus's hand, Hermes's aura weakened continuously, and he eventually vanished into nothingness.
