How is the system's character card level determined?
This was something Takatsuki had always been confused about, after all, Shanks was only S-rank, which seemed very strange no matter how he looked at it.
And during this dream training, Takatsuki could let his imagination run wild when he had nothing to do, and he also got some references from Shanks.
A character card doesn't mean Takatsuki has the same power as the original owner of the character card; what the character card gives is just one or more skills.
And the level and rank of this skill determine the level of the character card.
Magic emission of the same level and time stop of the same level would certainly not be equivalent.
The reason why Shanks' character card is only S-rank is because neither Haki nor swordsmanship are things of very high rank. The only reason they are strong in Shanks' hands is that Shanks is strong.
This is also why, despite having the same abilities, Shanks could still pin Takatsuki to the ground and hammer him.
But Shanks' strength cannot be given to Takatsuki through the character card, which means the level of this character card is destined not to be very high.
And in the training in the mental space, although Takatsuki was released by Shanks, it doesn't mean Takatsuki has reached Shanks' level, but rather that he has barely reached the minimum limit set by Shanks.
But even so, Takatsuki's Divine Avoidance is extremely terrifying. Although it's not as good as Shanks, and even less so than its original owner Roger, not many people can take this blow.
At least Kafka and Blade didn't dare to take it.
No, perhaps they did it on purpose, just to make Takatsuki use this move in this place.
Can that person named Elio really foresee the future?
Takatsuki didn't know, he only knew that his attack had involved an innocent person.
Why? In his aura perception, there should have been no one there.
"Kafka!!!"
Looking at Kafka, who had already escaped to a rooftop, Takatsuki wasn't completely irrational, but he was extremely angry.
"Mm, I'm listening~ But..."
Dragging out her words, Kafka's attitude remained unchanged: "Right now, you'd better pay attention to that guy down there~"
Takatsuki's pupils constricted. He felt an extremely vast Void Energy erupting from the ruins below.
What!
A figure with fox ears stood up from the ruins.
"That hurt, Stellaron Hunters. I didn't expect this humble one to be discovered."
With a familiar voice and appearance, the person who appeared was Tingyun, who had been with Yang and the others earlier.
Tingyun now had extremely terrifying scars on her body. Her gaze fixed on the Stellaron Hunters on the rooftop, then shifted to Takatsuki.
"Isn't this the benefactor's friend? Your sword just now really hurt this humble one."
Are you kidding!? Can that be described as pain? Takatsuki dared to say that if Yang had taken that sword strike without dodging, he would have said goodbye to this world. What's going on with this Tingyun!?
How could someone from a merchant caravan have such strength?
"Who exactly are you?"
At this point, Takatsuki couldn't help but think of Kafka's series of actions before.
On one hand, it was to test Takatsuki's attitude, and on the other, it was to lead him here and use his attack to strike at this problematic Tingyun.
Which also proved that the Stellaron Hunters knew Tingyun was problematic, and their finding Takatsuki was not to eliminate Takatsuki, the so-called disruptor of the script, but rather to add Takatsuki to the script in a new way.
"Elio said that as long as the ending doesn't change, the process can be anything."
Kafka stood on the rooftop, explaining to Takatsuki: "So, let's just skip the original process and show you the truth on the Xianzhou. Let me see, Takatsuki, with your free will, can you lead others to the best future?"
"Then let me see clearly, your choice, and whether you possess the ability to lead everyone to that future."
As Kafka spoke, the Tingyun below had also changed. Her previous injuries had all recovered, and she unreservedly displayed the vast energy within her body to everyone.
"My, my, why must you force me to take action personally? This runs entirely counter to my aesthetics of Ruin," Tingyun shook her head.
"I originally wanted to observe for a while longer. It seems that to fracture the Xianzhou from within, other methods must be deployed instead."
"It looks like the others have arrived as well." Tingyun looked toward another direction, where a group of people was currently rushing toward this location.
"Is that... Miss Tingyun?! How can this be..." March 7th covered her mouth, looking at Tingyun within the ruins in utter shock.
"The benefactors have arrived too. In that case, esteemed benefactors, allow me to reintroduce myself." Tingyun looked toward the newly arrived Express crew. "I am Phantylia the Undying, a Ravager of the Antimatter Legion. My purpose in coming here is to cause this Xianzhou to fall into utter collapse, disintegrating and perishing by its own hand."
Fu Xuan also arrived in a hurry at this moment, leading a company of Cloud Knights. She looked toward Kafka standing upon the rooftop. "Kafka! How did you escape! Have you people actually allied yourselves with the Legion?!"
"Master Diviner Fu, this is hardly our fault. I originally intended to accompany you to the Divination Commission, but unfortunately, this Mr. Qin Mo disrupted the script that had already been composed. To allow matters to step back onto the right track, I could only resort to this fallback plan to force the hidden peril inside the Xianzhou to expose itself."
Standing upon the rooftop, Kafka looked at the commotion down below and stated, "One can only hope that Mr. Qin Mo and his companions can resolve this Lord Ravager right here."
"Although I, Phantylia, dislike destroying things with my own hands the most, if you all disregard me to such an extent, my humble self will get angry too." Tingyun—no, Phantylia—raised her hand and beckoned, causing dozens of Antimatter Legion Voidrangers to stand up from within the debris.
There were actually other people beneath the ruins?!
The exact moment Qin Mo witnessed this scene, Kafka spoke up once more, "Those were all Mara-struck from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. Before we arrived, they had already been dealt with."
Kafka's grasp on the human heart was exceptionally keen; she could see that no matter what was said, Qin Mo belonged to the righteous side. Therefore, throughout the entirety of the combat up until now, she had not entangled a single innocent person into the fray.
"Indeed. Since they have already accepted the blessings of the Abundance, surely they can also endure the... benediction of Destruction." The Voidrangers transformed by Phantylia instantly swarmed toward everyone else in the vicinity.
"Well then, friend of the benefactors, allow my humble self to keep you company for a bit. Since everyone insists on having me take the stage, then I, Phantylia, shall put on a clumsy display." Watching the Voidrangers already engaging in combat with the people around, Phantylia also locked her gaze onto Qin Mo.
