Multiverse Skill System

"Ding, the task can be submitted. Submit the task? Yes?"

As soon as the battle armor was distributed, the system notification sounded promptly, and the task could be completed immediately if Yi Shuihan wished.

After hesitating for a moment, Yi Shuihan did not choose to complete the mission. The main reason was that he felt his team of fighters was not yet complete, and the unknown reward of the mission also made it difficult for him to make a decision immediately.

"This is for you."

Yi Shuihan walked up to Saber and handed her a pendant that shimmered with seven colors.

Upon seeing the pendant, Saber's eyes lit up immediately. Regardless of what it represented, its appearance alone had already captivated her.

"No, I can't have it."

Saber's bright eyes gradually dimmed, and she shook her head, saying, "I am not your fighter."

"Why do I feel a little sour? Could it be..."

A possibility occurred to Yi Shuihan, and his mind was jolted.

"Then I now formally invite you, Artoria Pendragon, to become my warrior. Are you willing?"

After saying this, Yi Shuihan became a little nervous, mainly because he was afraid of being embarrassed if he was rejected.

Yi Shuihan did not lower his voice, which drew the attention of the others in the conference hall, who all looked over.

"Sister Saber, please say yes to Brother Yi! Become Brother Yi's fighter, and we'll be the same from now on."

Xiao Jie said excitedly.

“Together, together!”

Lu Xiaofeng shouted loudly and shamelessly, making Yi Shuihan both amused and exasperated. This was hardly a marriage proposal!

"This guy is lying to girls again."

Maya stood beside Aya, pouting as if she looked down on Yi Shuihan. However, she looked at Saber with envy. After staying in Lushan for so long, she was completely convinced that becoming Yi Shuihan's fighter was a good thing. The danger she had imagined was not there at all. In fact, she really hoped that Yi Shuihan would invite her.

"Battle Armor, I want that too!"

Maya herself doesn't have a battle armor, but her younger sister does. She had just learned about the various functions of battle armor from her sister and thought it was amazing. She also wanted to have her own battle armor.

Yi Shuihan looked at Saber sincerely, while Saber, who was being looked at by Yi Shuihan, blushed slightly and seemed a little at a loss.

During the two months she spent with Yi Shuihan, she had actually developed considerable feelings for him, exceeding those of ordinary friends, but not yet to the point of considering them lovers.

As King Arthur, she always considered herself a man, and even later married a wife.

Because she always considered herself the strongest and was in a protective role, and because others never treated her as a woman, her personality was closer to that of a man.

Yi Shuihan's existence is special to Saber. From the beginning, he treated Saber as a woman and took great care of her. In addition, his strength far exceeded Saber's, which gradually made Saber feel like a woman. The feeling that she didn't have to shoulder everything on her own, and that Yi Shuihan would automatically stand up to protect her when something happened, made her feel very novel and at ease.

Suddenly, to Yi Shuihan's astonishment, Saber snatched the pendant from his hand and said with a touch of arrogance, "Consider this a gift from Master to me."

Although it wasn't explicitly stated that they would become fighters, the meaning was essentially the same.

"It seems we have gained another colleague."

As Lu Xiaofeng spoke with a smile, he couldn't help but think of his confidante.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Li Xunhuan's eyes. Ever since he pushed Lin Shiyin to his elder brother, his heart had been half dead. Such scenes of public displays of affection could easily hurt him.

"Hey, Brother Yi, do you think I could be promoted to a full-fledged employee?"

Sikong Zhaixing's lewd voice rang out; he was extremely envious of the battle armor that only warriors possessed.

"Although I am indeed no problem being your older brother or even your grandfather, why do I feel so uncomfortable hearing you say it? I think you need to be observed in the preparatory position for a while longer."

Yi Shuihan showed no pleasantness whatsoever towards Sikong Zhaixing, who was such a spoilsport.

"No way!" Sikong Zhaixing wailed, looking heartbroken, but Yi Shuihan was unmoved and completely unfazed.

He lowered his head, and just when Yi Shuihan thought Sikong Zhaixing had given up, he raised his head, and Yi Shuihan was stunned.

It was a face that looked nine-tenths like Saber's, so much so that it could easily be mistaken for her.

"If you promise me, you can have whatever you want from me in the future!"

"..."

Chapter 834, The Main Gods Descend One After Another

"Okay, you've successfully disgusted me."

After a moment of silence, Yi Shuihan uttered these words, then knocked Sikong Zhaixing unconscious with a chop to the neck.

"Lu Xiaofeng, he's yours to deal with. Hang him on the cliff for three days and three nights."

Upon hearing Yi Shuihan's instructions, Lu Xiaofeng's face fell, and he cursed Sikong Zhaixing in his heart for causing trouble for him.

"Wow, that's amazing. This is the first time I've ever seen such an ability."

Xiao Jie exclaimed in amazement as he watched Sikong Zhaixing being dragged away by Lu Xiaofeng.

"It is indeed very powerful, but it is also truly terrifying."

Daigo, standing to the side, labeled Sikong Zhaixing as dangerous. He found it hard to imagine what he would do if Sikong Zhaixing suddenly changed her expression in front of him, and it turned out to be the person he liked. The image was too beautiful to contemplate.

Even in an environment where everyone is a bit unnatural, there are exceptions. For example, Aizen's eyes revealed an interesting emotion, clearly showing that he was interested in Sikong Zhaixing's face-changing skills.

Let's observe a moment of silence for Sikong Zhaixing. Now that Aizen has his eye on him, his future is not going to be easy.

Saber is a heroic spirit whose clothes are entirely made of magic. She wears knight's attire during battle, but otherwise dresses as a noble lady in her home attire.

The existence of the battle armor replaced the magic power in her body. Although her appearance remained the same, her essence had changed.

Saber didn't notice the fleeting look of regret in Yi Shuihan's eyes when she equipped the battle armor.

Naturally, he wouldn't regret handing the battle armor over to Saber, but...

"Now there's nothing to see. It's hard to believe that I was able to remain completely indifferent when I saw the King before."

In fact, when Yi Shuihan first saw Saber, he discovered a rather horrifying fact: the clothes Saber constructed using simulation were see-through in his eyes. This was definitely not an act of depravity by Yi Shuihan, but rather a passive one.

Honestly, Yi Shuihan would never do such a despicable thing.

Even Yi Shuihan didn't understand why he could see through the clothes made of magic. He could only attribute it to his strength, which had given him the ability to see through appearances to the essence of things.

Suddenly, Yi Shuihan felt an extremely resentful gaze. He turned around and found himself face to face with Zhenye, instantly feeling awkward.

Maya was initially embarrassed, but in an instant, that embarrassment turned into resentment. She glared fiercely at Yi Shuihan, as if he had abandoned her after seducing her.

Yi Shuihan wasn't stupid, and he quickly understood the reason, knowing that Zhenye was acting this way because of the battle armor.

Yi Shuihan casually turned his gaze away, secretly wondering if he should also get a set of battle armor for Zhenye, as that resentful look was too lethal.

"Boom!"

"what happened!"

"Is there an earthquake?"

After a loud roar, the ground began to shake violently, startling everyone in the conference hall.

Yi Shuihan raised his head, his gaze seemingly passing through the roof to see the scene outside.

Above the sky, there were two suns, yes, two, but the other one was definitely not a real sun.

"Apollo, the sun god!"

His expression turned slightly serious, and he softly revealed the sun's true identity.

"What a magnificent entrance!"

The second sun in the sky was visible to the entire Earth. Even in areas where it was nighttime, two suns suddenly appeared, along with a moon, which looked very eerie.

Fortunately, the two days of sudden appearances did not last long, only a few minutes, otherwise it would probably have caused a much bigger sensation.

The sun, as the source of life for all things, holds a very important place in the hearts of ordinary people. Without the sun, it would probably not be long before the earth becomes lifeless.

"The fourth main god has appeared, and the days that followed were indeed far from peaceful."

Apollo's appearance surprised Yi Shuihan but not astonished him. After all, he had known for some time that the other gods would inevitably descend upon Earth, but he hadn't expected Apollo to be the first to arrive.

After Apollo's arrival, the curtain was raised on the descent of the chief gods, with one chief god descending almost every few days.

Of course, these main gods don't always make such a big commotion when they descend. Some are low-key, and basically no one above the god level can sense their arrival.

With the arrival of numerous deities, Earth suddenly became dangerous. On the surface, nothing seemed to have changed, but underneath, undercurrents were already surging.

There is still some time before the Origin Plunder War, and these main gods can still restrain themselves, silently accumulating their power until the day they erupt. It is foreseeable that the day the Origin Plunder War begins will be extremely intense.

Yi Shuihan did not provoke these gods, as there was no need for it. These gods were powerful, and if a fight broke out and the other gods on Earth intervened, it would not be a good thing for Yi Shuihan.

Two more months have passed, and all 11 main gods have descended to Earth. The only one who has yet to be found is Zeus, the king of gods, who is also the one that Yi Shuihan needs to be most wary of in this world.

Every time a god descends, he must find a base on Earth. At this time, the monsters are doomed. They are powerless to resist and can only be slaughtered. In contrast to the monsters, humans live a very comfortable life because these gods seem to treat humans differently. Even if they see them, they will only give them a warning and will not harm them. Some even provide shelter for humans.

What exactly was Yi Shuihan doing during this crucial period?

He stayed at home in the cultivation room, cultivating—yes, cultivating. He spent all day holding the Jade Tablet of Creation, comprehending the Great Dao. Every moment, his strength and foundation were improving.

The task of finding the fighters was entrusted to his clone. The clone he exchanged in the One Piece world is still useful, which makes Yi Shuihan have to admit that the system's products are always of the highest quality.

Aizen and other warriors belonging to the Yi Shui Han faction were also in seclusion. The aura of the Creation Jade Butterfly enveloped an area of ​​a valley, allowing them to enter a state of near enlightenment, and their cultivation speed was as fast as a rocket.

Chapter 835, Menma, I've Found You

The greatest purpose of the Jade Disc of Creation is to comprehend the Great Dao, so Aizen and the others can only benefit from it a little bit, since they are not cultivators!

If Aizen were a cultivator, he would probably have broken through to Silver rank by now and officially become a god of this world. But now, even though he feels that he is constantly improving, it is not something that can be achieved in a short time. He would need to cultivate continuously for at least several years or even decades.

Aizen's starting point was too high, so his level didn't seem to change much. Alice, who was almost an ordinary person before, although she wasn't a cultivator and was comprehending the microcosm, had her level change every few days. She had only just entered the sixth sense before using the Creation Jade Butterfly, but now she was already at the peak of the sixth sense and was in a state of breaking through at any time.

Lu Xiaofeng and Xifeng Chuixue are progressing at about the same pace as Alice, while Li Xunhuan has already broken through to the seventh sense, which is simply terrifying.

The universe is ultimately something that leans towards perception, and the spirit has a greater influence on it. It is reasonable that Li Xunhuan could be one step ahead of others. The reason why his Little Li Flying Dagger could hit the target every time was because he had a strong spirit and a high state of mind.

Alice and her friends' cultivation speed would leave even Aiolia and the others speechless. They had to work much harder than Alice and her friends during their cultivation, often ending up covered in injuries, yet their cultivation speed was still far slower than Alice's. It was like the difference between a regular player and a pay-to-win player.

The strongest Gold Saints are far inferior, let alone the Silver and Bronze Saints; there is no comparison whatsoever.

Leaving aside Yi Shuihan's main body and the warriors who were cultivating, Yi Shuihan's clone encountered a suitable warrior candidate at this time.

This place originally belonged to the country of R. After the great changes on Earth, a small group of people gathered here and formed a small settlement. It was very small, with only about a thousand people.

Despite being called a settlement, it doesn't offer much security. The people here aren't particularly powerful; the strongest are only around Alice's level. Their continued existence is purely due to luck. A monster tens of meters long could easily destroy this small settlement.

There was a very special person in the settlement: a girl in a white dress. She always followed people around, chattering away. Surprisingly, however, the people around her seemed to ignore her and no one spoke to her, even though she seemed very excited.

"Hey, do you know where Jinta and the others are?"

"I don't know! What about Naruko? I really want to see them."

The girl was barefoot, and unlike the people around her, her face was radiant, completely unaware of the dangerous environment in which she could lose her life at any moment.

Yi Shuihan, who was not far away, had been watching the girl for a while and had almost confirmed her identity.

"Interesting, a ghost, and one that once made me shed many tears."

The girl seemed sad because no one could hear her or see her. She suddenly stopped "bothering" those around her and stood there sullenly.

Menma, I've found you!

Yi Shuihan walked up to the girl. At this moment, the girl didn't pay attention to Yi Shuihan, assuming that he, like everyone else, couldn't see her. However, when Yi Shuihan said those words...

“Ah!”

With a gasp, the girl looked up, her eyes filled with excitement, but also a hint of fear—fear that it was all just her imagination.

"Are you... are you calling me?"

As she spoke, she looked around, and when she made sure that Yi Shuihan was looking at her, her excitement grew.

"Without a doubt, I was calling for you,"

Thinking back to what he had said earlier, Yi Shuihan felt a little ashamed. Back when he saw the male protagonist find Menma and they shouted that phrase together, he had shamelessly followed along countless times. At that time, he never thought that he would actually see Menma today and even utter such a touching phrase. Well, in this situation, it wasn't particularly touching.

Well, because there was no background information, Menma didn't feel the same kind of emotion as in the original work. The only thing she felt was the joy of finally being discovered.

"Can you see me?" she exclaimed in surprise, then, as if remembering something, her unhappiness became visible on her face. "Nobody can see me, but I know it. I know I'm dead and am a ghost now."

"Menma didn't know what happened. When she woke up, she was here, and the surroundings were so unfamiliar. She wanted to find Jinta and the others, but no one answered her, and she couldn't find them either."

Menma spoke of her feelings with innocent eyes. Time hadn't changed her; she was still that kind and simple little girl.

"Don't worry, you'll meet them someday."

Yi Shuihan didn't know if Menma descended alone or with Jinta and the others, but he guessed it was the former. After all, if they all descended, they shouldn't be far apart, since the story in their world was limited to a small town.
