GA: Chapter 223 – 100% Bare-Handed Blade Catch; One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes and A Certain Magical Index
Ordinary Group Owner: "That Holy Angel's blood was considerably stronger than I expected!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Not only did it enhance my physique, but it even powered up my Angel Form significantly."
Ordinary Group Owner: "And secret arts like Healing and Angel's Judgment just popped into my head. I'm taking off!"
After Su Yunqing absorbed the Twelve-Winged Holy Angel's blood, perhaps because the Mythical Zoan Angel Fruit she previously consumed made her physique highly compatible, she didn't just absorb the vast majority of the blood's power—she also acquired angelic spells.
Besides basic healing, defense, and attack spells, there was even an ultimate move like Angel's Judgment.
Ordinary Group Owner: "The only problem is this Angel's Judgment is a bit trash. It actually relies on faith in angels to activate."
Ordinary Group Owner: "In my world, when angels first appeared among the fierce beasts, people did worship them. Later on, angels even developed into an entire race. That is, until an angel flew from the West to the East, had its wings chopped off, its blood drained dry, and its wings turned into magical artifacts."
Ordinary Group Owner: "After that, no one worshipped them anymore."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Especially after Western powerhouses discovered that angel blood had great effects when brewing potions of light, they just started slaughtering them directly."
Ordinary Group Owner: "So this secret art seems pretty much useless in my world."
Faith required strength to back it up. If the object of your faith was weaker than you, who would bother believing in them!
Lighthouse Tycoon: "If it were in my world... the power would probably be terrifying."
Tony thought about the prestige angels held in his world. With the combined faith of that many people, killing a certain purple sweet potato head shouldn't be a problem, right?
Umaru: "It seems like it would work in my world too, though there's an overwhelming probability I'll never encounter an enemy that requires using this secret art."
Umaru: "Everyday slice-of-life worlds are nice like that."
Electric Shock User: "It should probably work in my world too..."
In some worlds, angels were pure fantasy. In others, they truly existed.
Unfortunately, her world was the latter.
She just didn't know if the strength of the believers would affect the secret art's power; on the magic side of her world, there were probably plenty of people with angels in their hearts.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Let's not talk about your world."
Ordinary Group Owner: "I absolutely do not want to be targeted."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Whether it's Magic Gods or Aiwass, just thinking about them makes me instinctively recoil."
Ordinary Group Owner: "A lack of strength, really."
Kasashita: "Which brings up a question. If a transmigrator mission appears in Misaka Mikoto's world one day, would you all risk being discovered by the Magic Gods to go raise hell? Or would you abandon the mission?"
Lighthouse Tycoon: "???"
Lighthouse Tycoon: "Do we really have to ask such brutal questions?"
Turn Da gu into Soup: "That is genuinely a question worth thinking about..."
Turn Da gu into Soup: "If none of us had the strength to fight a Magic God head-on at that point, I suppose we'd just give up?"
Dongfang Bubai: "This question is for them to consider, not us."
Dongfang Bubai: "I don't think I'd have the qualifications to participate in a mission like that."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "True."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "@Child of Nature, @Uchiha Dance King, @The oldest Godslayer, @Martial Arts King, @who else was I supposed to tag again?"
Holy Lord: "What do you think?"
Be My Son: "What do you think?"
Sacred Guard Left Wing: "What do you think?"
Lighthouse Tycoon: "Minor detail, minor detail..."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "What do you all think?"
Holy Lord: "I don't care. They can't kill me anyway."
Holy Lord: "Even if I get sealed, worst case I just buy a world transit talisman and come straight back."
The oldest Godslayer: "Two lives. It's enough."
Uchiha Dance King: "My enhanced Tenseigan can see three seconds into the future. It's enough."
Be My Son: "Observation Haki: Future Sight. It's enough."
Martial Arts King: "..."
Are you all targeting me on purpose?
Child of Nature: "Setting aside whether the chat group can shield our information, Magic Gods aren't constantly paying attention to the Earth."
Child of Nature: "If a transmigrator mission really did appear in the Index world."
Child of Nature: "We could perhaps call in external help."
Child of Nature: "Turn passive into active, ensuring the Magic Gods' focus can't concentrate on us."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "???"
The oldest Godslayer: "External help? Where would we find external help?"
Zhang Sanfeng: "I just looked up the definition of a Magic God. It truly lives up to the title of a god."
Warping all the laws of the world at will, treating planets as things that would shatter at a touch.
Even legendary immortals wouldn't be much more than that...
Did the chat group actually have someone capable of fighting a Magic God?
Child of Nature: "@Glory of the Northern God"
Child of Nature: "I don't need to say more, do I?"
Glory of the Northern God: "Woof?"
Glory of the Northern God: "Shiba Inu confusion.jpg"
Lighthouse Tycoon: "I honestly forgot about this dog."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "I really haven't seen it speak much these past few days."
Zhang Sanfeng: "It?"
Ordinary Zhang Zhiwei: "It?"
Zhang Zhiwei, like Zhang Sanfeng, had also been looking at the definition of a Magic God. Good lord, they really blew that out of proportion.
Though it was still within the realm of acceptance. It wasn't like there weren't mythologies that bragged even harder.
It was just that seeing fantasy turn into reality made one's mouth twitch.
Lighthouse Tycoon: "Just like you're thinking, this guy is literally a dog."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "There's a memory copy called 'One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes'. Watch it and you'll understand."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "I really did forget about him."
Lighthouse Tycoon: "No, more accurately, my instincts made me deliberately forget him."
Glory of the Northern God: "Don't call me a Shiba Inu. Please call me Thor, God of Thunder!"
Glory of the Northern God: "I am Thor, God of Thunder! For the glory of the Northern Gods!"
Thor did not accept the title of Shiba Inu.
Especially after eating so much dog food these past few days. He had clearly seen the future—so why was he still eating dog food?!
Counting the memory copies, he'd eaten double the amount!
Ordinary Group Owner: "One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes and A Certain Magical Index?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "I cannot even picture Li Jing using '100% Bare-Handed Blade Catch' and forcing a Magic God to drop to their knees to catch his sword."
Ordinary Group Owner: "That scene would be absolutely explosive."
There was just one problem.
Ordinary Group Owner: "The rules of the One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes world are obviously completely different from the Index world, right?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "If they go to the Index world, would they still possess those conceptual abilities?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GA: Chapter 224 – Conceptual Power; The New Ability Born from the Eyes that Reflect the Heart
Although she didn't know the specific rules of the One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes world, it was definitely vastly different from a normal world.
Their own worlds were all different, but the differences weren't usually exaggerated to that degree.
Child of Nature: "The chat group should possess the ability to convert our abilities to conform to the rules of different worlds."
Child of Nature: "Otherwise, it would be impossible for us to retain our inherent combat power in other worlds."
Ordinary Group Owner: "@Chat Group, can you handle this?"
"Ding—detected Group Owner questioning the chat group's capabilities."
"Ding—this is a basic function of the chat group."
The chat group's cold voice echoed in everyone's ears, and its answer did not disappoint.
Ordinary Group Owner: "You finally didn't let me down."
Ordinary Group Owner: "I was already preparing myself for you to say you couldn't do it."
Of course, in certain aspects, this chat group really was incredibly lacking.
Especially given that she was the Group Owner, yet she didn't even have any Group Owner privileges—nothing but a discount on store items.
Could a Group Owner without the power to kick people or mute them even be called a Group Owner?!
Electric Shock User: "So if I have problems on my end in the future, I can call for help?"
Electric Shock User: "Even if it attracts the attention of a Magic God, it'll be fine."
Ordinary Group Owner: "It should be fine. Even though the Magic Gods' power is immense, we have..."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Conceptual Gods!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "It's impossible for them to lose."
Ordinary Group Owner: "And he's just a River God. Who knows how strong the other major gods in there are."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Nuwa, Odin, Zeus—those three are the real bosses in there."
Back when Bai Xuan had first mentioned that Thor was a big shot, she had dismissed it.
She had thought the chat group was in no shortage of big shots.
Whether it was Uchiha Madara, Whitebeard, Tokisaki Kurumi, or Daigu—they could all be considered top-tier.
That was until Bai Xuan uploaded the One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes memory copy, and she watched it.
Excuse me.
I may have spoken a bit too loudly before.
This was a world that simply could not be measured by combat power.
"The Milky Way is also a river, you know~~~"
Was that something a mere River God should be saying?!
Even if placed in the high-tier "Mythic Prehistoric" settings cooked up in her past life, this guy would have to be at least a Heavenly Immortal!
Recalling the definitions of the various realms in those "Mythic Prehistoric" novels, Su Yunqing couldn't help but shake her head.
The abilities described for each realm were exaggerated to an absurd degree. An Earth Immortal placed in any other Prehistoric world would be at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm; Heavenly Immortals mastered concepts, and True Immortals or Mystic Immortals were beyond mention—far more exaggerated than the Great Dao realm settings in standard Prehistoric novels.
But since anime, novels, and manga had all become real worlds, maybe a "Mythic Prehistoric" world really did exist, and the powerhouses within it genuinely possessed abilities to match those settings.
Maybe someone from a high-tier Prehistoric world would even join the chat group in the future.
No, no, no, that's not right.
If it were that Prehistoric world, the chat group would definitely be discovered.
The oldest Godslayer: "@Holy Lord, @Uchiha Dance King, who won your fight?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Myself, naturally."
Holy Lord: "You merely teleported me into some inexplicable space."
Holy Lord: "If I hadn't yet broken through to the Dou Venerate realm and lacked the ability to traverse space, your ocular powers wouldn't have been enough to trap me."
Uchiha Dance King: "Stubborn words."
Uchiha Dance King: "Before I even used Amenominakanushi, you were at a disadvantage throughout the entire battle."
Uchiha Dance King: "Under these eyes, nothing about you escapes my control."
Uchiha Dance King: "If not for the Dog Talisman, you would have died long ago."
Uchiha Dance King: "Or you could choose to try again. I will gladly show you just how powerful the enhanced Rinnegan truly is."
Uchiha Dance King: "Even stripping away your abilities and reverting them back into the twelve talismans is not beyond my reach."
The Sharingan was the eye that reflected the heart; thus, when evolving into the Mangekyō, it gave birth to kaleidoscope-like abilities shaped by one's own desires. The Rinnegan was the same.
The abilities born from each pair of Rinnegan were not identical.
Perhaps it was his frustration over the layered effects of the Holy Lord's Dog Talisman immortality and the Horse Talisman's external force recovery that had forged this obsession—leading his Rinnegan to develop this specific ability after its enhancement.
Their previous fight had occurred because he wasn't yet familiar with his newly enhanced Rinnegan abilities. This time, if the Holy Lord wished to test it, he would be more than happy to let him taste the sensation of having his powers stripped away.
Holy Lord: "Do you think saying that frightens me?"
Uchiha Dance King: "Then come."
Holy Lord: "Wait until I break through to Dou Venerate."
Whether Uchiha Madara could actually do as he claimed—transform his abilities back into talismans and strip them away—he would wait until he reached Dou Venerate before trying again.
At the Dou Venerate realm, his control over space would become vastly stronger, allowing him to easily execute a whole range of spatial abilities.
Spatial exile, spatial lockdown, spatial compression, spatial strangulation, instantaneous movement—he would be capable of all of them.
Uchiha Madara likely wouldn't even be able to touch him.
Even gravity and repulsion could be nullified by twisting the surrounding space.
Fighting now would just be a guaranteed loss. He had no mood to participate.
Ordinary Group Owner: "Break through to Dou Venerate? What realm are you at right now?"
Ordinary Group Owner: "Dou Ancestor?"
Holy Lord: "Merely Dou Emperor."
Holy Lord: "Though I am fast approaching Dou Ancestor. Give me thirty days at most, and I shall break through."
Ordinary Group Owner: "...!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "How long has it been since you obtained the Flame Mantra? Even factoring in different time ratios, it's only been a few months for you at most."
Ordinary Group Owner: "Never mind months—going from no cultivation to Dou Emperor in a year?!"
Ordinary Group Owner: "This child is terrifyingly formidable!"
If he reached Dou Emperor this quickly, what about Dou God?
That would probably be soon too.
Although ascending to Dou God supposedly required Source Qi, the Flame Mantra rewarded to the Holy Lord by the chat group was clearly a different cultivation system from the original Flame Mantra.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Holy Lord to cultivate it in his own world.
His world didn't have anything like Dou Qi, after all.
Otherwise, Uncle wouldn't be using magic; he'd be using Dou Skills.
Holy Lord: "The reason my cultivation is progressing so quickly right now is simply because my inherent strength was already formidable."
Holy Lord: "The amount of energy I can endure is also much greater."
Holy Lord: "But this will only last until the Dou Venerate realm. Beyond that, the pace will slow."
Compared to those overwhelmingly powerful fantasy worlds, the Dou Qi world naturally couldn't rank at the very top. But it was far from weak—solidly in the upper-middle tier.
Those on the stronger end of the Dou Sage realm could even carve out their own pocket dimensions. Once they reached the Six-Star Dou Sage level and above, destroying a small planet with a full-power strike wouldn't be an issue at all.
