In the simulation combat room, a towering one-thousand-meter-tall, mountain-like giant with a single arm stood, no, it should be said that even the mountains grew on this giant's body. Once, the humans of this world had settled their homes on the giant's body, but everything changed after the giant awoke. However, this had nothing to do with Xunxin; what he needed to do now was to fight against this massive creature.
"Musou Dragon!"
A crimson Eastern dragon rushed to Xunxin's side from the sky. Xunxin stepped onto the body of the Musou Dragon and soared into the air. At the moment Xunxin left, a massive hand smashed the platform where he had been standing into pieces.
"Form change, Dragon Head Cannon." The long body of the Musou Dragon emitted a red glow, and a four-meter-long, one-meter-radius heavy cannon appeared in Xunxin's hands. The giant cannon, enveloped in flames, aimed at the chest of the giant beast, Gigant. Red beams of light exploded in front of Gigant's chest. Even with its massive size, Gigant was forced to retreat under the continuous attacks, its chest armor gradually falling off, revealing a crystalline core.
Xunxin continued to bombard from the air, but Gigant also had a way to counter this move. A protective shield quickly activated over the core. No matter how Xunxin attacked with the giant cannon, the shield showed no signs of weakening. In terms of energy storage, Gigant could even surpass some fifteen-heart-level beings, let alone Xunxin, who was only at the nine-heart level. However, having more energy doesn't necessarily mean higher combat power. Gigant's slow movements and low reaction speed made it extremely vulnerable to a high-mobility, small-sized opponent like Xunxin.
"Musou Dragon, form change, Dragon Fang Sword, Yuezhi, activate weapon awakening mode." Everything consumed in the simulation training was restored upon leaving, so Xunxin didn't need to worry about the depletion of Yuezhi and himself. The giant cannon transformed into a two-meter-long double-edged greatsword, the dragon's mouth opening to become the sword's guard, and the sword's body, covered in dragon scales, burned with extremely high-temperature red lotus fire. Xunxin used spatial movement to reach the protective shield of Gigant's core. After the spatial division cut through the shield, Xunxin unleashed two sword auras, each over ten meters long, which shattered the core in Gigant's chest. Repeating this method, Xunxin moved around Gigant, continuously destroying the core. Finally, Gigant could no longer maintain the protective shield and knelt on one knee. Xunxin naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, as the weapon awakening time still had half a minute left, which was more than enough.
"Let me see the final power of the Final Descent, Musou Dragon!"
The Musou Dragon spiraled upward into the sky, and Xunxin's magic power exploded, teleporting him to an altitude of 20,000 meters. As the Musou Dragon ascended, its body length shortened, and the dragon's head emitted a scorching red glow. Ultimately, a massive dragon head with a radius of thirty meters appeared before Xunxin. Xunxin stepped onto the energy transmitter behind the dragon's head, using Yuezhi's nearly infinite magic power for one minute to instantly fill the Musou Dragon's body with magic power. The thrusters at the back of the dragon's head fully extended, and a torrent of flames spewed out, propelling the Musou Dragon toward the target. Xunxin also unleashed his magic power to push the dragon's head. At this moment, Yuezhi not only provided nearly infinite magic power but also ten-heart-level spatial division ability. The dragon fang, enveloped in spatial division power, and the 8,000-degree Celsius dragon fire, combined with the Musou Dragon and Xunxin, descended at a speed ten times faster than the speed of sound. Gigant also sensed the terror of this attack and tried to move to avoid it, but its damaged legs prevented any movement. Gigant could only raise its right arm to meet Xunxin, the arm, covered in cracks, making a sound like the ground splitting under the pressure of the Musou Dragon.
"Take this, Gigant! This is the Final Descent!"
The dragon head, burning with scorching flames, directly pierced through Gigant's arm and heavily struck its chest. A powerful shockwave radiated outward from the impact point, causing Gigant's body to shatter and peel off. The giant beast's body fell backward, crashing onto the ground. The immense kinetic energy and spatial division ability of the dragon head allowed it to penetrate Gigant's chest, and the explosion's power almost split Gigant's massive body into two.
"Gaaaaah!" This was the giant beast's final cry. The kinetic energy alone had a destructive power four times greater than the Hiroshima atomic bomb, combined with the spatial division and dragon fire, even Gigant had to succumb to such an attack.
Exiting the simulation training room, Xunxin and Yuezhi looked quite pleased. It was no wonder, as the giant beast Gigant, which was considered a powerful eleven-heart-level existence in the Infinite Heart rating and could be a disaster in war, had lost its life to a few people who hadn't even reached the ten-heart level. Although Gigant was not adept at fighting against small, high-mobility, and high-firepower opponents, Xunxin could still be proud of achieving such a level.
"Hey, Xunxin, how did you feel about the Final Descent? Could you use it without me?"
The power of the Final Descent was indeed astonishing, killing Gigant with a single strike and causing an explosion that shattered buildings on Gigant's body and lifted mountains. In terms of power, it even exceeded ordinary nuclear bombs by several times. The consumption of using this move was naturally not low. Under Yuezhi's liberated state, this consumption could be compensated by drawing energy from space, but Yuezhi couldn't always remain in the liberated state. Thinking of this, Yuezhi quickly asked Xunxin.
"It's okay. Most of the magic power for the Final Descent is consumed in acceleration, and the magic power used to trigger spatial power is relatively small, about 40% of the total magic power. Of course, without Yuezhi in the awakened state, I can only use spatial distortion to increase the destructive power, which is significantly lower. Moreover, although this move has immense destructive power, the time from activation to impact is quite long, about one minute. If facing a high-mobility, small opponent, the target would have long disappeared. It's only suitable for fighting against less mobile or large opponents."
"I see... So, Xunxin, you shouldn't casually liberate my power in daily life. After using this move, your consumption is quite severe. If you get ambushed at that moment, it would be quite dangerous. Use this move only with the support of my nearly infinite magic power after I awaken." Yuezhi looked around the core area of the Infinite Heart, looking puzzled at Xunxin.
"Huh? Where's Chilian? Did you sell him because he was useless?"
Before Xunxin could answer, an angry voice came from behind Yuezhi.
"I don't want to be called a cow by you. I carefully helped you two search for items to enhance, unlike you, who just provide energy in battle." Chilian was floating with a pile of mechanical items, such as a disassembled motorcycle, a computer with burn marks, and a gun that looked completely broken...
"Is this your... result?" Xunxin and Yuezhi's veins bulged. (#‵′)
"Of course not, don't worry, I didn't waste your Heart Coins. I have already queried the next world from the Infinite Heart, which is the Type Moon world. As long as the technology products don't exceed the era too much, they don't consume Heart Coins. Look, I also obtained a large batch of enchanted bullets and a motorcycle with many magic arrays carved on it." Chilian quickly took out some finished products to prevent the two from melting them down in anger.
"From what I can see, about 80% of the magic arrays on the motorcycle are just graffiti, and the remaining 20% are mostly malfunctioning. As for your enchanted bullets... I can only say that the mithril on them has some anti-magic effect, but the small spells carved on them are just random scribbles." After a simple inspection, Chilian's work was a complete failure. However, Chilian's approach gave Xunxin many ideas, and he began to study the Infinite Heart's exchange list carefully...
A few days later.
"Is this... Xunxin, are you planning to go the tech route...?" Yuezhi and Chilian were dumbfounded. It was no wonder, as Xunxin, still wearing his long coat, now held completely modern items. Inside the coat, Xunxin used spatial laws to create two spatial pockets, where he placed two gold and silver pistols he had modified and enhanced. He also stored various common military items, such as rune-carved grenades, mithril anti-magic bullets, and mithril throwing knives. Additionally, Xunxin had a flashlight-like device attached to his belt. Upon seeing this flashlight-like device, Yuezhi and Chilian instinctively picked up hammers and chisels.
"I don't know why, but I really want to smash this annoying thing." Yuezhi was covered in black aura, looking extremely terrifying.
"I feel this thing is a heresy and should be burned..." Chilian's hammer burst into red lotus fire, raising the temperature in the Infinite Heart. However, Xunxin, holding the flashlight-like device, heavily hit the two, making them crouch in defense.
"This is a magic light sword I spent a lot of time modifying. Don't burn it, Chilian." Xunxin pushed the switch on his right hand, and a five-centimeter-wide, one-meter-three-long beam of light appeared in the air, emitting a "buzzing" sound of air burning.
"It has a temperature of 6,000°C and excellent hardness. According to calculations, it can withstand a direct hit from a Noble Phantasm like Excalibur. Of course, anti-magic weapons like the Red Rose of the Holy Grail are exceptions. Additionally, I installed an energy core, allowing it to be used for over two hours without using my magic power. This can also prevent spells like Origin Bullet, which can affect the user upon impact. Furthermore, I set up a burst system on the light sword, which can output magic power explosively for three minutes, turning the blade into a super-large light sword with a diameter of one meter and a length of over twenty meters, capable of cutting through warships. After three minutes, it can continue in burst mode, but the risk of malfunction is high. The external energy core can ensure one use of the burst mode, allowing even ordinary people to cause significant damage. I named it the 'Scar of the Stars Type I.' Additionally, I modified a powerful motorcycle for use when it's inconvenient to use my powers. This motorcycle also has various external attachments, but they are still under development. Currently, only the large thrusters, force field generators, and flight wings are available. I modified within the free exchange limits of the Infinite Heart, so Yuezhi and Chilian can also exchange a few motorcycles for emergencies."
"The motorcycle looks nice. If not using powers, it's a good mode of transportation. Do you have a name for the motorcycle?" Yuezhi stroked the metal shell of the motorcycle, excitedly asking. \(^o^)/~
"Hmm... How about 'New Era Infinite Strong Assault Rapid Variable Universal Type Freedom Transport Module'?" Chilian suggested, but the two immediately crossed their arms in front of their chests.
"What a terrible name. It sounds impressive but is actually useless." *2
"Waaaah, you're all bullying me..." Chilian cried. QAQ
"Alright, let's call it... 'Tofu Ace.'" Xunxin made the final decision, ignoring Yuezhi and Chilian's expressions of "Your name is worse than ours," and decided on the name for the motorcycle that would carry Xunxin and others every day...
Afterward, Xunxin enhanced the growth potential of the Musou Dragon, making its growth rate even more astonishing and its ultimate achievements higher. However, the 1,000 Heart Coins spent on this made Xunxin quite heartbroken. Additionally, Xunxin used 1,200 Heart Coins to enhance Yuezhi and Chilian, giving them the ability to grow independently. Now, Yuezhi was at the mid-eight-heart level, and Chilian was at the early-eight-heart level. Finally, Xunxin used 500 Heart Coins to enhance his own abilities, raising his combat power to the mid-nine-heart level. He also spent five Heart Coins to repair the Reverse Blade Shadow Strike. The days in the Infinite Heart passed quickly, and after a month, Xunxin and the others, equipped with all their gear, came before the Infinite Heart. A picture with a large '0' appeared before the three.
"Contractor, in the world you are about to reach, there is a special mission you need to complete." The vast voice of the Infinite Heart echoed in Xunxin's mind.
"Special mission?"
"Yes. In that mission world, you need to use the energy collector provided by the Infinite Heart to find something called 'The Evil of the Present,' which looks like black sludge. When you encounter it, take out the energy collector and release 'The Evil of the Present.' The Infinite Heart's absorber will automatically absorb it. However, note that 'The Evil of the Present' must be in the real world state; otherwise, the Infinite Heart's absorber cannot absorb it."
"Alright... Based on the information you provided, I think it's during the Fourth Holy Grail War..."
"When you reach that world, the Infinite Heart will send the mission item to your small storage space in the Infinite Heart. Please receive it promptly."
The power of space enveloped Xunxin, sending him to the next world...
