D.I.O

Chapter 318

My luck stat is?

There, it was written

/Luck: 1,000 (???)/

***

Clang! Bang!

Ugh, each step is so heavy Gear Number Three!

Youngmin threw away the black sword in his hand, which he had used to deflect the rain of bullets that poured down on the Masters, and switched his weapon to a greatsword that shone with golden light.

[Impediments.]

Ack! Im so scared so scared!

While making a sarcastic fuss, Youngmin fiercely stared at the opponent in front of him. He felt as if his whole body was light enough to fly away, and his mind was so clear that it was almost like everything had become transparent.

That rolling momentum was transferred to his greatswords blade.

Oh, my goodness.

Youngmin was well above his best condition. Normally, it would have been hard for him to deflect even one magic bullet, but he was currently able to clearly see the trajectory of all the enemys attacks as if he were viewing someone drawing the lines and curves in real-time. On top of that, his natural killing intent as a Celestial Killer was brought out; it was as if a disobedient child had been given a chance to run amok.

He parried, avoided, and cut down every attack that came his way. Considering that Youngmins opponent was a transcendent, this sort of feat should have been absolutely impossible.

Its like an extended moment of enlightenment.

Youngmin had experienced such moments before. They happened when he was completely exhausted and on the verge of fainting from having swung his sword for days on end, when he faced a mighty enemy, or when he faced a desperate crisis where he could be decapitated with one false move

Whenever he reached such a moment, he would experience a burst of tremendous growth all at once. Youngmin was relatively young, but he had been given the title of a Sword Demon precisely because he had surpassed those critical moments many times in the past.

Those critical moments werent tests that could be overcome through effort alone. Inspiration and enlightenment were fickle guests. Those who possessed inspiration and enlightenment could be prepared and ready, but being prepared and ready didnt necessarily mean that inspiration and enlightenment could be acquired.

If this sort of thing is quantified as luck

With this line of thought, Youngmin realized he was experiencing a fortuitous opportunity of a lifetime!

No, even the word lifetime wasnt enough to properly explain just how rare this sort of occasion and opportunity was. This ridiculous amount of luck was at a level that very few beings had ever experienced in their lives.

Hahaha! Hahaha!

His innate qi energy combined with the internal energy he accumulated throughout his lifetime to create black flames all around his body and on his weapon.

Slash!

The armor on Alexanders upper arm, which Alexander had been using as its leading body part when attacking, was slashed off. Youngmins sword attack, which had been upgraded to its best version in an instant, destroyed even a transcendents armor despite it having the protection of the transcendents enormous spiritual power.

[Eliminate.]

However, after delivering such a mighty blow, Youngmin was defenseless and vulnerable to Alexanders subsequent attack. Even if Youngmin were able to momentarily display peak fighting power, his opponent was still a transcendenta more powerful being.

Its good to take the initiative and strike first, but dont get too excited! You might suffer a counter!

The one who saved Youngmin from this precarious situation was Miho, who transformed Youngmin into foxfire for an instant to reel him toward her.

Youngmin smiled as he quickly turned back into a human. Hahaha! Thank you, Ms. Nine-Tailed Fox!

Nine-Tailed Fox Eh, whatever.

Well, that is what you are, right? Hahaha!

The temperament of Youngmin, who smiled cheerfully, was completely different from his usual calm demeanor. Surrounded by black flames that burned and flamed up like fire, Youngmin exuded an extremely desolate atmosphere. With the addition of his beautiful looks, Youngmin appeared indescribably bewitching.

Youre in a bit of a strange state.

Hahaha! This is my original energy and aura. Ah, today is very refreshing indeed! Hahaha!

Youre acting like a psychopath.

After grumbling some complaints, Mihos eyes started to shine like jewels. Her Magic Eyes normally didnt work against the Legion forces, who were originally mechanical lifeforms and impervious to magic power. Yet, the power of her jeweled magic eyes had now reached the ultimate level, so they had a direct effect on the material world. This allowed Miho to run mental interference on Alexander.

I dont understand.

It was a fierce battle, but even so, Mihos mind was in a complicated state. She had gained her ninth tail, but the feeling she felt was closer to puzzlement than joy.

Why did she give up her powers so easily? Because shes Ms. Heavenly Flower? No, that being was the true Heavenly Flower, the Witch of Desolate Nation

Miho felt that she had met the true Witch of Desolate Nation; it was a reasonable guess. It made sense that the Witch of Desolate Nation would have signed on as a slave contractor, and since Miho recalled memories of the Witch of Desolate Nation, the image shed seen during the meeting matched the image of the previous Witch of Desolate Nation.

However, Miho couldnt help but feel suspicious. The being shed met was too small and weak to be the true Nine-Tailed Fox.

Above all, Miho knew that her own memory was imperfect and untrustworthy. Why did the memories of her previous life as the Witch of Desolate Nation begin at the point after she had slaughtered the heroes of the martial world? What happened to her memories before that time? Why did Miho only recall the memory of the bloody altar?

The ninth

The truth was simple.

It was because that had been when Miho was born.

The ninth tail

The real Heavenly Flower, the Witch of Desolate Nation, wasnt Miho but Ms. Heavenly Flowerthe Eight-Tailed Fox that Miho had met in DIO. Miho was just a temporary personality and identity created after Heavenly Flowers ninth tail fell off.

However, it was Miho who ultimately became a full-fledged Nine-Tailed Fox, not the original Heavenly Flower.

And thats why its so hard to understand.

Miho couldnt understand how such an evil, sinister, and cruel being like the Witch of Desolate Nation could give up everything, seemingly on a whim, and offer her power to Miho.

Bang!!

Shoot!

When her mind started wandering, her hands started fumbling over themselves. Of course, she was in a state of [correction], but even so, those corrections had limitations.

Gaias Blessing was the power of fate, which maximized the [possibilities] of the subject receiving the blessing. However, even though the blessing was given by a Planet God, the blessing couldnt offer very much in terms of power to a being that had already reached the transcendent realm. In other words, Arc and Miho had already maximized the benefit of the blessing as it had pushed them across the threshold of transcendence.

In truth, Miho had benefited the most among everyone who received the blessing. As the personification of Heavenly Flowers ninth tail, Miho was a secondary personality, but she was able to fully acquire Heavenly Flowers power. Even though Miho herself was only a six-tailed fox, there was still the extremely rare [possibility] that Heavenly Flower, who had no future anyway, would give herself up to protect her soul. In other words, Gaias Blessing had increased the likelihood of Heavenly Flower giving up everything so that Miho, a part of her, could receive her powers and live on.

The parties that received the blessing werent the ones who most accurately grasped the blessings powers though.

[Gaia, in the end, you intervened. To apply the fate of a hero to such a wide range of subjects] Tan commented.

- Oh, theyre coming back with a roar. How exciting and interesting.

The Beast of the Apocalypse, whose existence seemed to want to crush the whole world, and the Sun God, who was emitting a huge wave of heat that seemed to burn up the sky, stopped fighting each other and looked down at the ground.

The Grotesques top slayer, Sadness, was being pushed back by the combination of Arc and Merlin. Although Merlin was unable to demonstrate a level of combat power equal to that of Sadness, the situation changed completely once Arc entered transcendence and gained her powers.

Arc was a magic power user but possessed strong durability as a fighter and had a fighting style commonly referred to by DIO users as a [Tank Mage]. So, when she took the initiative to head the frontline, Merlin was able to focus on unleashing powerfully amplified Irrational Hand Strikes and sniping attacks with much more composure from the rear.

Meanwhile, Alexander, a Named Legion, lost one arm to the combined attacks of Miho, who was wielding a considerably powerful monster qi as a Nine-Tailed Fox, and Youngmin, who wielded his black flames.

The pirates of Basara, like Alexander and Sadness, found themselves in a similarly precarious situation.

Shit! They keep resurrecting!

Also, why are these guys getting stronger!?

The Masters [evolved] at every moment. Those who had been given the maximum heroic fate through Gaias Blessing were now exploding [all] of their potential on the battlefield. In terms of individual power, the three factions were still superior, but they couldnt find a way to combat a collective force that was getting stronger with every passing second.

Not good.

Tans eyes narrowed. The tides of battle were flowing against him. If the Masters were to win, Merlin would be able to support and recharge Apollo again, and that would, in turn, eventually spell the end for Tan.

What if I retreat?

This thought quickly flashed through Tans mind, but

Throb!

Then he felt a sharp pain that stemmed from his heart and spread throughout his body.

Arthur.

Ascalon, a Transcendental Weapon that was created specifically to kill dragons, was serving as a tremendous deterrence. The stronger this deterrence became, the stronger the feelings of inferiority and hatred burned in the depths of Leviathans heart.

[This wont do.]

- Hmm? Hey, it seems youre misunderstanding something

[It is you who is mistaken.]

At that moment, Leviathan opened his mouth, which was so large that it seemed like it could swallow a mid-sized city, and sucked in a huge amount of turbid air.

It was a huge display of force that was on a completely different level from anything Tan had shown previously!

- Youre out of your mind! Using [Absolute Authority] without permission from the Creator? Arent you a part of the universes law?

[What? Wasnt this what you guys did all the time when you were alive?]

- Ah!

Taken aback, Apollo laughed lightly before turning himself into a single ray of light. Then when that terrifying ray of light hit Leviathans head before Leviathan could spit out the huge energy that it collected in its mouth

Flash!

Leviathans head burned fiercely. However, the air currents that had been gathered in Leviathans mouth didnt dissipate.

[ It is because they are trying to forget that the heavens existed from ancient times and that the earth came out of water and was formed by water in accordance with the word of God. Because of this, the world at that time was destroyed by overflowing water] Tan muttered.

- Oh, shit! Youre mad! Youre using your power to recreate the great flood!?

[Stop now! This is not the end of days! According to the laws bestowed upon me as the Planet God!] the penguin exclaimed.

[Dont do anything stupid, Gaia. Even if I flood this place, nothing will happen to your precious human civilization on Earth, right?] Tan responded.

[That]

When the penguin, Gaia, hesitated and panicked, Apollo awakened and mustered all the energy within him.

- I lay an order upon you! Brilliant Light!

After his mighty cry, the sun rose in the gray sky, and Tan sent his incomplete power toward that sun. The sun represented Apollos absolute power, Brilliant Light.

Whoosh!

The two powers canceled each other out and disappeared as if nothing had happened. Tans power of floods was a higher power than Apollos Brilliant Light, but Tan had utilized his power before it was completed.

Even so, Apollo frowned. His aim was to nullify Tans attack. Apollo had achieved just that, but he knew that there was no way that Tans power could have been neutralized so easily.

- Huh, whats going on? Wait y-you?

[You were always such a stupid being.]

- You tricked me!! You tricked me, you damn Beast of the Apocalypse!!!

The whole world shook as Apollo displayed his anger and rage.

At the same time

Rumble!

Black lightning struck down and split open a part of the space, revealing a naked woman under the bolt of lightning. She was a slender beauty standing at about one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, with pink skin and shiny blonde hair.

The woman was smiling brightly.

Whoosh!

A wormhole opened, and a round metal ball popped out from it. With a diameter of about one meter, it was an item made from ordinary modern household items but at this moment, the power contained within it was truly beyond ones imagination.

Tap.

Lastly, a man wearing a beret and military uniform appeared. He looked down at his body for a moment and then at Leviathan with a puzzled expression.

Thank you, but why is he like that? Is it someone who hated you during his previous lifetime?

Captain? Captain, how did you get here?

The faces of the Masters, who had been excitedly driving the enemy factions into a corner, soon turned sour after seeing the newly arrived enemy forces.

Wait a minute They can just come at will now?

That, that Isnt that Happiness? The most famous among the Grotesques Slayers

This is crazy Three more transcendents?

Like the Masters, the Planet Godsthe penguin and the girlwere at a loss for words.

Why why has it become like this? the girl said aloud.

[This is insanity. Youre consuming your life in a place like this?] the penguin commented to Tan in a flabbergasted tone.

If a rat were to enter a persons house and take away their precious ring, it was, of course, a normal reaction for them to try anything in their power to get it back. It wouldnt be strange if that person tried to exterminate the rats out of anger if he or she couldnt get his or her ring back.

However would anyone sacrifice themselves, like in a suicide terrorist attack where one would wrap bombs all over ones body, just to kill those rats?

This wasnt a normal response.

I would have never imagined that hed go to such lengths and use his authority to forcibly raise the level of civilization

The girl groaned when she saw Leviathan, who couldnt even control his own massive body, collapse onto the ground with a thump, and Apollo, who had consumed all of his energy, dissipate into the air.

After that

Now then! Shall we start over in earnest?

Accompanying that pleasant voice, a whirlwind of strong qi struck Merlins party.
