Rias's pupils contracted sharply.
Even the usually expressionless little cat from Tacheng showed a rare hint of surprise on its face.
A copying tool?
How can this be.
Divine artifacts are unique beings, miraculous creations left behind by the gods.
Its core concepts and strengths cannot be imitated, let alone replicated.
Himejima Akeno's body swayed slightly.
She had just been worried that Zhou Ye might have run into trouble or made some unreasonable demands.
As it turned out, the message Kiba Yuuto brought back was that Zhou Ye had copied the [Demon Sword Creation].
This was completely beyond her expectations.
Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Kiba Yuto gave a wry smile and continued.
"Not only that, he also discovered some weaknesses in the [Creation of the Demon Sword]."
Rias suddenly looked at Kiba Yuuto.
"weakness?"
"Yes, Minister."
Yuto Kiba recalled Zhou Ye's words at the time; that all-knowing calm still made him feel uneasy.
"Zhou Jun said that the [Creation of the Demon Sword] requires the will of the holder to evolve. Once the holder's will is compromised, the artifact will also be affected."
"Moreover, it consumes a great deal of the holder's magic power, and cannot be used if the magic power is insufficient."
These analyses were terrifyingly accurate; this was his first time encountering such a powerful artifact.
Rias frowned deeply.
Zhou Ye not only replicated the form of the artifact, but also saw through its essence and potential flaws.
What is Zhou Ye's background?
What unbelievable level of power did he possess?
Himejima Akeno's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.
Worry, shock, and a hint of pride that she herself hadn't even noticed?
Her Zhou Ye always manages to do things that defy common sense. 977
"Zhou Jun also said..."
Kiba Yuto paused for a moment, then conveyed Zhou Ye's promise.
He said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let me tell the minister what happened so you can rest assured."
"Within a day, you'll have the magic weapon you need to break the deadlock, and he'll have it ready."
A bright light suddenly burst forth in Rias's eyes.
One day.
This happened much faster than she had expected.
If Zhou Ye can really produce an item powerful enough to counter the Phoenix Force of Riseel Phoenix.
Then, perhaps her fate will truly take a turn for the better.
Kiba Yuto then turned to Himejima Akeno, a slight smile on his face.
"Senior Zhu Nai, Jun asked me to tell you this."
He said he would also prepare a gift for you.
Himejima Akeno was slightly taken aback.
Gift?
A warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Even in such a moment, he did not forget himself.
"Zhou Ye...did he really say that?"
Rias looked at the rare girlishness on her "Empress's" face and couldn't help but smile.
She spoke, her voice carrying a mixture of relief and anticipation.
"It seems that our mysterious Lord Zhou is even more unfathomable than we imagined."
"Yu-Dou, thank you for your hard work."
Yuto Kiba shook his head.
"It is my honor to share the minister's burdens."
He was just wondering whether Zhou Ye's ability to copy and analyze divine artifacts was something he already possessed, or something he had only recently awakened.
That feeling wasn't like using a specific skill.
It's more like an insight into and reconstruction of the essence of things.
too frightening.
Himejima Akeno gently touched her chest, where her heart was still beating a little fast.
She thought of Nami and Saeko Busujima at Zhou Ye's house.
The two girls also seemed to have gained unimaginable power from Zhou Ye.
Zhou Ye, how many secrets is he still hiding?
"One day from now may be the moment that decides everything."
Her voice was filled with an unprecedented determination.
Chapter 94 Myriad Forms of Warfare, The Heart of Life
The air in the basement still retained the aftershocks of the demonic sword and Zhou Ye's power.
Zhou Ye's gaze swept over Gil Valentine, Nan Rika, and the expectant Shizuka Marikawa.
"Next, it's your turn."
His voice was calm, but it made the three women's hearts tighten.
"You've seen what's going on with Nami and Saeko."
Zhou Ye continued, mentioning his two companions who had undergone a complete transformation.
"Call them [Fusion Warriors], or you can call them my companion Emperor-class Honkai Beasts."
"You will also receive similar enhancements, with special [Honkai Beast Factors] implanted."
Jill and Nanri exchanged a glance. They were experienced warriors, their desire for power and their wariness of the unknown intertwined in their hearts.
Shizuka Marikawa seemed quite excited, her big eyes blinking.
"However, your areas of enhancement will differ."
Zhou Ye's gaze first fell on Jill and Nan Lixiang.
“Gill, Rika, the two of you, I will draw on Kiba Yuto’s ‘Demon Sword Creation’, which is the brand new ‘All-Purpose Weapon’.”
"I will imprint the core concepts of this system directly into your souls."
Upon hearing this, even Jill and Nanri held their breath.
Imprinting on the soul—that doesn't sound like an easy process.
Zhou Ye didn't give them much time to think. He raised his hands, and an invisible force began to gather in his palms.
This time, it's not about copying, but about parsing and reconstructing.
The essence of the [Creation of the Demon Sword] was crystal clear in his eyes. The construction logic and the way energy flowed were dismantled, analyzed, and then recombined in a more optimized way by him with the power of the [Herrscher of Truth].
"Are you ready?"
Zhou Ye asked.
Jill gritted her teeth and nodded first.
"bring it on."
Nanri Kaori also took a deep breath, her eyes resolute.
"We're fine."
Zhou Ye said no more. Two reconstructed energies, like invisible needles, suddenly pierced Jill and Nan Lixiang's foreheads.
"Ugh!"
Jill let out a suppressed groan of pain, her body trembling violently, and veins bulging on her forehead.
Nan Lixiang's situation was similar; she clenched her teeth, and her clothes were instantly soaked with sweat.
It was a sharp pain that came from the depths of the soul, as if the entire consciousness had been forcibly torn apart and then stuffed with something vast and complex and unknown.
The core concept of 【All Things Armed】 is merging with their souls in a brutal and direct way.
The Honkai Beasts' genes were also activated at this moment, and violent energy began to wash over their bodies, transforming every cell.
Jill felt as if her consciousness had been thrown into countless battlefields, with the structure, ballistics, and tactical applications of various firearms flooding into her mind like a tide.
Her traits resonated strongly with the characteristics of "precision" and "tactics".
Nanri Kaori is like someone in the most primitive jungle, full of wild calls and explosive power. Various weapons change in her hands, pursuing the ultimate destructive power.
Her traits resonate with "wildness" and "explosion".
Faint energy patterns began to appear on the surface of their bodies, traces of the initial modification by Honkai energy.
Nami and Saeko Busujima stood aside, watching this scene with solemn expressions.
They had gone through similar experiences and knew all too well the dangers and suffering involved.
