Chapter 376 Parallel Worlds
Chapter 376 Parallel Worlds
The power of the Knights of the Round Table is hereditary.
Its roots are in King Arthur.
After King Arthur died, his soul merged with the Sword in the Stone and existed in Avalon.
Future knights can borrow power from the Sword in the Stone through prayer.
Of course, this leverage is subject to strict limitations.
For example, the move he will use next can only be used once a day.
Originally, this trick was reserved for the Grand Duke of Lorraine.
However, after witnessing the power of this God-favored One, he became somewhat panicked.
It can suppress the abilities of the Sister of Silence.
If this child is not eliminated, he will become a big trouble in the future!
So, after some prayer.
The light fell on Andre.
From a distance, one can vaguely see the phantom of a knight.
Yes, this is the Phantom of King Arthur.
“Clang!!”
Andre drew out his knight’s sword, and the phantom did the same.
Then, an overwhelming sword energy slashed towards Li Zhongren.
Before the sword energy reached Li Zhongren, he felt as if he was fixed by something.
Can’t hide.
This was Li Zhongren’s first reaction.
This thing seems to have tracking properties.
“Da~”
So, Li Zhongren snapped his fingers, and he, the soldiers behind him, including Joan of Arc and others, disappeared from the spot.
Then, the sword energy brushed past Li Zhongren’s position and slashed towards the distance.
“This is?”
Andre couldn’t help but open his eyes wide.
He knew that this move was the Grand Duke of Lorraine’s ultimate move.
Subspace shift.
It is one of the few abilities that can avoid the lock of King Arthur’s sword.
Because once you reach the subspace, the lock is useless.
But how could this guy use this trick?
However, Li Zhongren did not give Andre time to think, and he suddenly looked up at the sky.
At some point, the main gun of the Victoria, which was hovering in the sky, had gathered energy and fired a shot at his position.
“How can it be!!”
This was Andre’s last thought.
The Victoria is the highest technological achievement of the British Empire. Its attacks also have the ability to lock on it, and because its main energy is not psychic energy, the abilities of the Sisters of Silence are useless against it.
Therefore, under this shot, Andre was directly evaporated.
Sister Silent escaped the disaster, but no one knew where she went.
There are no living people on the spacecraft.
Yes, Lorraine also became Li Zhongren’s heroic unit, and because of his own powerful strength, he reached the maximum level directly, and his own abilities were also enhanced to the extreme. He could directly teleport through the subspace, break through the blockade of Victoria, come to the ship, and then kill everyone silently. Finally, he created a mirror image, controlled the ship, and killed Andre with one shot.
As for the other two Knights of the Round Table, they had already fled.
They don’t have Lorraine’s ability to break through the Victoria’s barrier. When the main gun cools down, they will also die.
“It was a good fight.”
Share space.
All the Li Zhongren applauded.
Then, Hokage Lee spoke.
“Then, I have an announcement to make.”
“A parallel world in a parallel world seems to have appeared.”
“What do you mean?”
“You know, I come from the Naruto world, which is a real world.”
“but.”
As he spoke, Hokage Lee pointed to a place not far away.
“When you guys were watching the live broadcast, we had another guy come here.”
“His ability is very interesting. He can go to any other parallel world, and this includes the Naruto world. However, that Naruto world is not the Naruto world I am in.”
“That’s normal.”
a long time.
Lee Harry spoke up.
“In a single universe, due to its infinite size, it is possible for two identical worlds to appear.”
“Different parallel universes are normal, but how can he have super powers without awakening the ability to share space?”
“Yes.”
The newcomer Li Zhongren nodded.
“Perhaps, like Lee Elden, he lives in a more magical world, so his adaptability has evolved. For example, he has evolved the ability to travel through time?”
Li Harry said again.
“Then, I’m curious. In this case, after you leave the shared space, what kind of power will the plug-in bring?”
“My personal guess is that his cheats might be strengthened.”
Hokage Lee spoke up.
“After all, he is farther away from us. After he leaves this time, it will be difficult for him to come back. I guess we have to hold on until the signal is completely connected.”
“Don’t worry, I’m very humble.”
The newcomer Li Zhongren smiled and waved his hand, but unfortunately, before he could say something, he disappeared after a flash.
–
British Empire
London
Royal Alchemical Inquisition
Li Zhongren stepped into the mission hall. The dark iron badge on his chest touched the steam that filled the entire mission hall, and emitted a faint blue light.
With the sound of footsteps, Li Zhongren came to a giant steam typewriter that was fifteen feet high. Steam was gushing out from the brass pipes on both sides of the typewriter. Crackling sounds were endless. This machine, which seemed to be able to type by itself, spit out a piece of paper.
【Third-level arrest warrant】
Target: Red Rose Thief (unregistered witch)
Bounty: 200 gold pounds + Royal Academy of Sciences contribution points
Special warning: The target can manipulate metal objects to make them emotional, anthropomorphic and violent.
“team leader.”
War preparation room.
Li Zhongren pushed the door open and handed the note in his hand to a burly man.
He is the captain of the Iron Blood Squad.
Affiliated to the Royal Alchemical Inquisition of the British Empire.
As the name suggests, its positioning is similar to that of the previous Inquisition, except that in the British Empire, after the Industrial Revolution, theocracy was replaced by alchemy.
Now, alchemists are hunting down heretics all over the world.
For example, the mission this time is to capture a witch.
“The Red Rose Thief”
Looking at the contents on the note, the captain couldn’t help but frown, because he knew that this was an unregistered witch who had been active in the London area for a long time. She had abilities suitable for combat and was extremely powerful. This time, capturing her would be a tough battle.
However, this is also the meaning of the existence of these mercenary teams.
Catching heretics has always been a dangerous business.
Alchemists were unwilling to fight to the death, and many of them were not good at fighting, so mercenary teams came into being.
Anyone, as long as you have special abilities, can join the mercenary team.
High rewards, high opportunities, high risks.
As for rewards, alchemists are very rich, very rich, and they are willing to use money to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors.
Opportunity, if you work for an alchemist, you will get the chance to transform yourself. In the British Empire, the registration procedures for legal supernatural beings are very troublesome, but the supernatural power brought by alchemy is simple because it is safe and controllable.
It is dangerous, needless to say. In this world where theocracy has been shattered and supernatural beings are everywhere, every battle with supernatural beings may be the last.
“Yes, Captain, the Red Rose Thief.”
Li Zhongren repeated.
But my thoughts drifted back to a year ago.
A year ago, he traveled to this strange world.
Perhaps because of the body crossing, he was seriously injured.
It was the Red Rose Thief who saved him.
Of course, she probably didn’t remember herself anymore.
At that time, she was dirty and thrown into the garbage dump. She drank a sip of some green healing potion and disappeared into the night.
Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, it has been a year.
Li Zhongren couldn’t help but feel emotional.
“Pfft~~~”
In the operations hall, six giant pressure valves on the ceiling contracted and contracted regularly, and the steam ejected interrupted his thoughts.
Catherine is debugging her mechanical prosthetic hand, and some green mucus seeps out between the brass knuckles. This is the lubricant. She is the sniper in the team and uses a steam sniper rifle. Don’t underestimate this thing, it is powered by compressed water. Yes, not compressed water vapor, but compressed water, a kind of black technology that could not be achieved on Earth in the previous life. After all, in the previous life, there was a concept that liquids cannot be compressed, and the principle of the hydraulic press is based on this.
But in this world, water can be compressed into a black box, with high temperature and high pressure.
When in use, it can be released to push the projectile out of the barrel.
Matching the rifling.
In terms of power and accuracy, it is not inferior to the gunpowder guns on Earth.
Even because the bullet does not need to be loaded with gunpowder, special processing can be performed on the bullet head.
Maupassant, praying.
He is a priest. Although the divine power has been lost, it has not disappeared. After all, divine magic is really useful.
Of course, if there is an alchemist in the team, he can also replace the priest’s position. After all, alchemy has developed to the point where the original alchemy has appeared. Its positioning is somewhat similar to that of “Fullmetal Alchemist”. Just clap your hands and you can get whatever you want.
This is normal. Without this ability, how could he defeat theocracy in the British Empire and ascend the throne himself?
As for Li Zhongren himself, he began to debug his steam armor, a device similar in structure to plate armor, but with its own power. It can be said to be a low-end version of Iron Man armor.
He and the captain are both close combatants.
It’s just that one is the main attacker and the other is a distraction.
Naturally, with his thin figure, he is the latter.
“call”
Let out a breath slowly.
Li Zhongren sensed the chakra in the meridians of his body that was constantly gathering towards his dantian.
Yes, Chakra.
As for the time travelers, since they have been chosen by the mysterious existence, they must have some special means, which are commonly known as plug-ins.
His cheat is also very simple. A door, any door.
After a certain period of time, he can use any device that looks like a door to open a world leading to the movies, TV shows and novels of his previous life.
However, he doesn’t have to go over there, he can just stand outside the door and look inside. As long as he doesn’t go in, the other party won’t be able to see him.
The first time he opened the door, he was lucky enough to come to the ninja school in the world of “Naruto”, the ninja school in Konoha Village.
So he attended the entire course as an auditor, which lasted about seven days.
During those days, the Chunin teacher taught me the Chakra Extraction Technique and then the Three Body Technique.
Perhaps it was because of the body traveling through time that his body experienced the influence of the time and space tunnel, which transformed his physical fitness, or perhaps his talent.
He learned these skills surprisingly easily.
So, he became a ninja.
At least, according to the definition of Konoha Village, students who have learned the Chakra Extraction Technique and the Three Body Technique can be considered Genin.
Then, I have to say that chakra is worthy of being from an advanced civilization capable of interstellar travel.
The appearance of chakra strengthened his body in all aspects.
Just think about it, the elementary school students in the original work, when they were six or seven years old, could easily jump to the rooftops several meters high, and Uzumaki Naruto, as the protagonist, could even jump higher.
Therefore, the chakra extraction technique alone is enough for him to gain a foothold in this strange world. As for the three body techniques, this is his trump card. At least so far, no living person knows that he knows the three body techniques.
After that, he chose to join the Alchemical Inquisition’s mercenary team.
The reason is also very simple.
He was an illegal resident, so in order to avoid being targeted by the Inquisition, he joined the Inquisition. Anyway, the most basic physical strengthening abilities he demonstrated were not enough to make the Alchemy Inquisition too interested in him.
“Are you all ready?”
A moment later, the captain of the Iron Blood Squad, Bob, slowly stood up, and some steam gushed out of the steam armor that also wrapped around him.
“Alright, Captain.”
“That better be it.”
Bob glanced at Catherine. She was a newcomer who replaced the previous person in the team. That person died in the previous mission. His neck was bitten by a werewolf and his intestines were pulled out more than ten meters away.
The root cause was that he was careless during the self-inspection and forgot to tighten a bolt.
“Then, let’s go!”
Following Bob’s order.
Everyone left the combat hall.
Li Zhongren habitually fell behind a few steps and protected everyone in front of him.
At the same time, one hand rested on a silver sword at his waist, which was the weapon he obtained in the world of “The Demon Hunter”. This weapon was specially used to deal with magical creatures, and witches happened to be a kind of magical creatures.
It was raining heavily in the sky.
Fortunately, the airship was not at a very high altitude and the wind was not very strong.
Not affected.
Looking down from the airship, you can see the city of London shrouded in fog, which is similar to London in the real world, but the fog here is more severe than the smog in London in the real world.
This is a mist with extraordinary properties, but it is just a side effect property.
Every day there are unlucky people whose resistance is weakened and who become disabled because of this fog.
Of course, the alchemist didn’t care.
No one can stop them from pursuing the truth.
Bob looked at the compass in his hand.
This is the radar compass given to them by the Operations Department, on which is marked the location of the mission target, the Red Rose Thief.
This technology also originated from the Alchemical Inquisition.
Radio towers spread across the city of London and its surroundings form a huge network.
In this network, unregistered superhumans who use their superpowers will be marked for a period of time.
Just like a stone thrown into a pond, it creates ripples.
The radar compass will continue to show her position until the ripples dissipate.
“landing!”
When they arrived at the designated area, the airship hovered in the fog. A long rope was dropped from the bottom of the airship. Everyone grabbed the rope and quickly landed on the ground.
The whole process was silent.
In fact, Li Zhongren felt that the reason why the alchemists kept London shrouded in fog forever was that the sun could not be seen for a quarter of an hour.
This ability to conceal oneself is probably one of the reasons.
“Is this a port?”
Catherine patted the goggles on her face, and the special lenses saw through the fog and scanned the environment.
“Captain, where is she?”
“do not know.”
Bob shook his head.
“Before she uses her ability again, all we know is that she is nearby. Catherine, go find a commanding position.”
“Yes!”
After receiving the order, Catherine disappeared into the fog, but in fact, with the help of goggles, she quickly climbed onto the gantry crane and looked down at the entire port and the various containers placed in the port.
“Captain, I’m in position.”
Catherine’s voice came from the radio headset.
“So far, nothing has been found!!”
Suddenly, Catherine’s scream was heard in the headset.
The radar compass in Bob’s hand sounded an alarm, and the needle was spinning 360 degrees wildly, as if there were witches everywhere.
At the same time, Catherine on the gantry crane found that her mechanical prosthetic arm suddenly lost control. A mouth actually grew on it, and the mouth controlled the arm to clamp her neck with laughter. The steam valve of the elbow joint spewed out bloody mist. It was her muscles struggling with the mechanical arm.
“Ten o’clock!”
Bob remained calm in the face of this situation. Wearing goggles as well, he quickly locked onto his position.
He raised the heavy steam gun in his hand and fired the thick bullet at a container.
The projectile with built-in explosives exploded violently after hitting the container.
There was no flying blood and flesh as imagined, but instead twelve steel-cast looms emerged like mad spiders.
These machines, which were supposed to be working in a textile factory, now had bloody steel wires wrapped around their spindles, and they rushed towards the three of them, waving their sharp and hard shuttles with their fangs and claws.
“Magic Suppression Bullet, fire!”
At Bob’s command, he, Li Zhongren, and Maupassant all raised their steam guns in unison, switched the projectiles to magic-proof bullets, and fired continuously at the textile loom.
Accompanied by bursts of explosions, silver-gray mist filled the air.
These looms that seemed so invincible fell limply to the ground.
But this doesn’t come without a price.
The anti-magic bullets they carried were also used up.
But there was no way out. The witch had obviously used all her strength in the twelve iron looms. If they hesitated for a moment and let the looms rush in front of them, they would probably be woven into cloth.
“Nine o’clock!”
Bob switched his gun to a steam giant sword.
A fog that feels like a chainsaw.
He rushed towards a certain container.
“Crack!!”
The huge force directly cut the container in half.
With a hint of red.
The Red Rose Thief finally appeared in front of everyone.
This is a witch wearing a red robe and having red hair.
Her face could not be seen because she was wearing a metal mask.
The tall figure seemed to defy gravity, and in fact it did defy gravity. It jumped high into the air, but was suspended in mid-air.
“Da da da da~~”
Bob switched weapons again, grabbed the steam gun, and fired pellets at the witch.
However, all these projectiles hovered in front of her.
“Ha ha ha ha.”
Then, these pellets actually grew mouths and started giggling.
“go back.”
“Whoosh!!”
All the bullets reflected back and hit Bob.
“God said, ‘Let there be light.’”
At some point, Maupassant had come to a place not far behind Bob, with his hands together and praying. Suddenly, a ray of light enveloped him, forming a shield.
Blocked these bullets.
“Whoosh!!”
It was at this moment that Li Zhongren, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared behind the witch.
“Whoosh!”
The silver sword drew an almost perfect circle in the air.
He hit the witch’s back hard.
The shield that was permanently attached to the witch was directly destroyed by the magic-breaking property of the silver sword.
Accompanied by a scream.
The witch flew out.
But it did not land on the ground. Instead, it flew farther and higher. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the fog.
“Hopefully, she can escape.”
Li Zhongren fell to the ground with a look of “regret” on his face.
At the last moment, the sword was moved horizontally. It was more of a push than a chop, just like playing baseball. With the help of his own tremendous strength enhanced by chakra, he sent the witch directly out of the encirclement. And because this place was full of spiritual energy, as long as she did not use her abilities without any cover, the compass would not be able to track her accurately.
“Captain, the intelligence is wrong. This woman can actually fly.”
“It’s not necessarily that the intelligence is wrong.”
Bob put away his weapon and sighed as he looked at Catherine, who was breathing heavily on the gantry crane and had escaped the disaster.
“Perhaps her ability has evolved again, so she used her ability to deal with Catherine in the first place, just to prevent herself from being sniped while escaping.”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this.”
“Check those containers and see what she’s going to do.”
“Yes, Captain!”
