Type-Moon, joins the Lion King at the beginning

Chapter 199: Countermeasures
"Huh? Go ahead and tell me."

Seeing that Li Ye's report was not finished, Gilgamesh's expression remained normal, but he changed his posture to face Li Ye.

Li Ye's voice also rang out: "That is about the migration of Nippur citizens. With the threat of Kingu and the Gorgon monster group, the area outside the north wall is no longer suitable for living.

At least the citizens of Nippur should be relocated inside the north wall."

"As for this matter, the citizens in Nippur are unable to evacuate due to the group of magical beasts. Now they should be able to hold on with the help of the two Heroic Spirits until they can be completely evacuated."

Gilgamesh raised his hand and said casually, "But if you want to be efficient, then you can go and escort the evacuation, Liye."

"A herd of monsters?"

After hearing what Gilgamesh said, Liye immediately understood why there were still people living in Nippur.

But he didn't encounter many magical beasts on the way to the Black Fir Forest. Could it be that they were gathering around Nippur?

A hint of doubt flashed through Li Ye's mind, but was quickly suppressed.

"I will rush to Nippur to assist them in evacuating."

Li Ye took on the task readily.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh nodded slightly and said, "Siduri, go and prepare for the evacuation and resettlement of Nippur."

After receiving the order, Siduri nodded slightly and said, "Then I will withdraw first, King."

When Siduri left the ziggurat and started the migration work in Nippur, Gilgamesh looked at Liye and Merlin again.

After telling all the information, Li Ye seemed to have no reason to stay in the God Tower. With the idea of ​​finding a place to deal with the goddess alone, he followed Siduri's footsteps and left the God Tower.

Leaving space for Gilgamesh and Merlin.

Half a minute later——

Li Ye was seen sitting alone on the steps outside the sacred tower, with his hands resting on his knees with his fingers crossed.

Although he was not wearing any accessories such as glasses, Li Ye's eyes seemed to be reflecting pure white light at this moment.

Li Ye was thinking.

After the battle with Jingu, Li Ye saw many of his own shortcomings. Although most of them were obvious to him a long time ago, the battle with Jingu pointed them out better.

The biggest reason is that Li Ye himself is too weak and is far inferior to these top heroes.

"We need to develop it in a more comprehensive way."

Li Ye thought that not only his physical strength but also his martial arts skills needed to be strengthened.

The dragon blood that continued to grow after entering the Age of Gods made Li Ye's physical strength and total magic power truly close to or even surpass those of dragon species.

His strength is comparable to that of a hero.

However, time waits for no one, and there is no extra time for Li Ye to wait for the dragon blood to grow, unless Li Ye can accelerate the growth of the dragon blood and make it truly comparable to the dragon species of the God Era.

But the so-called dragon is the embodiment of mystery and the accumulation of years.

Li Ye alone could not accelerate the growth of dragon blood. Knowing this, Li Ye had to give up the idea.

What is more important is the countermeasures against Jingu. Hundreds of Heavenly Chains are attacking at the same time. Li Ye cannot block them with his current condition and will only end up in the same defeat.

More powerful martial arts, or targeted counterattack capabilities——

"The Holy Inquisition's multiple launches—"

Li Ye could think of few countermeasures, one of which was to strengthen the multiple launches of the Holy Judgment to counteract the Heaven's Chains, but that would consume a lot of mana. According to Li Ye's estimation, if the Holy Judgment and the Golden Solid were to engage in a war of attrition, it would probably only last for three minutes.

This was after Li Ye's Holy Judgment reached the target and was able to offset the Heavenly Lock launched by Jingu for three minutes.

"Reduce the consumption of mana, or obtain a replenishment of mana—"

Li Ye felt that it was possible to launch Holy Judgment with normal power or even power far exceeding normal power with minimal resources, but it was not an achievement that could be achieved so easily.

That was the ultimate achievement of Li Ye's control over his own magic power.

It might be much easier for Li Ye to find a way to replenish his magic power.

The Holy Grail is not the only one that can provide external replenishment of magical resources. The figures of King Lionheart and King Osmandis quickly emerged in Li Ye's mind.

After giving the Holy Grail to Li Ye, Osmandis has been using the strategy of absorbing magic power from the earth veins to maintain consumption, while the Lionheart King chose to transform himself into a human battery to maintain magic power consumption.

The Lionheart King's method was not something Li Ye could accept or do, so he had to imitate Osmandis to connect with the earth vein magic.

"It's possible. I'll ask Gilgamesh and Merlin later. If it works, I can at least be on par with Kingo."

Li Ye gazed at Uruk below the sacred tower and the more distant land of Mesopotamia. In this era when the gods had not yet left, the magic power of the earth veins was undoubtedly abundant.

Even if it is not as flexible as the Holy Grail, it is enough for one person to use.

Putting aside the issue of earth vein magic for the moment, Li Ye thought about the last and most important question.

That is - tapping into one's own strength.

The moment his limbs were pierced by the Jingutian Chain, Li Ye noticed something unusual.

A strange [magic power] emerged from inside the body, or rather, Li Ye's own magic power had undergone unknown changes again, which was similar to the time when he [reflected] Ishtar's spirit.

"Could it be Jingu?"

If it is said that Li Ye [reflected] Jingu's magic or other things by relying on the Heavenly Chains that penetrated his limbs, but Li Ye had never discovered the changes in the magic, and he was even confused about what really happened.

But Li Ye understood that something must have changed, not a significant change that was visible on the outside, but a hidden change.

After thinking for a while without coming to a conclusion, Li Ye decisively stood up and walked back to the divine tower.

At this time, the communication between Merlin and Gilgamesh was coming to an end.

Seeing Li Ye return again, Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly.

Li Ye's action of sitting alone in the divine tower did not avoid Gilgamesh and Merlin. Although it was not clear what Li Ye was thinking about, no one would go into it deeply.

"I want to obtain the magic power of the earth veins to replenish myself. As the king, King Gilgamesh, you have the right to control the earth veins, right?"

Li Ye, who was clear about his own thoughts, didn't waste any words. He stared at Gilgamesh and decisively expressed his thoughts: "As long as I can get the magic power of the earth veins, I can hold Jingu back--"

With the experience of the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Li Ye acquired the superb skill of being able to greatly compress his own magic power and pump it out in one breath. The upper limit of magic power output is not a problem at all for him.

As long as he has enough magic power, Li Ye is confident that he can engage in a long-term tug-of-war with Jingu.

Even if he can't defeat Jingu, Jingu can't defeat Li Ye.

"Wow, interesting——"

Hearing Li Ye's request, Gilgamesh smiled faintly.

Want to get the magical support of the earth veins to fight against the Heavenly Chain, the incarnation of the earth?
