Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 318 Combat Power Conversion
When Xu Feng and Mei arrived, the siege of Mordor had entered its final stage.

Zoro is building a stronger new body for himself, and he will fight once the new body is fully developed.

He had to do this.

The One Ring is the Ring of Domination, the Ring of Authority.

The larger the territory Sauron conquers and the stronger his kingly aura, the greater his power becomes as he wields the One Ring; if he cowers in the siege, the power he gained from the One Ring will leave him.

However, Zoro's decision to engage in battle only hastened his own demise.

With the help of a group of powerful figures, the elf-created human Bing'er, wielding the 'Pale Justice', cut off Zoro's finger.

From the limits of an ordinary person to the current level of Dou Yuan, most of Bing'er's strength comes from the world of "The Lord of the Rings". Among the East Sea team, she is the only one who has deeply participated in the plot of "The Lord of the Rings".

This strike did not overshadow the main event in the grand symphony.

After the war, the Valar's messengers brought the Third Age to a close, and Middle-earth entered the Fourth Age.

The River Valley Kingdom lineage became the true overlord of Central Plains.

Furthermore, a portion of the Vale Kingdom were granted the opportunity to enter Valinor, and those individuals were allowed to travel with the elves before the last group of elves evacuated Middle-earth.

"Alright, the children's story has come to an end. Next is our strengthening." Xu Feng led Mei to Moria.

In the process of 'tailoring' the grand movement, he has come to understand some of the factors involved in the birth and growth of the soul.

These factors are not comprehensive.

But this has allowed him to make the results of creating 'clones' infinitely close to those of normal people, and there will be no obvious weaknesses in terms of the soul.

The profound understanding of the soul has an impact that extends beyond living beings; Xu Feng's understanding of the dead has also deepened.

Most necromancy and corpse-driving techniques are no secret to him.

Hsu Feng used his children's help to "tailor" the grand composition, and through his close relationship with his children, he gained a deeper understanding of the grand composition. This process did not improve his basic strength, but rather his realm and knowledge.

And this deep knowledge can be easily transformed into combat power.

“Mei, the core of your fighting power is Shin-Muramasa. Shin-Muramasa combines the advantages of both Murasame and Yatsufusa, but because I developed the ‘Divine Descent’ technique based on Murasame’s basic abilities and lent you my power, Yatsufusa seems quite ordinary.”

Xu Feng drew the long sword from Mei's waist: "But the potential of the Eighth Chamber is not small; it just hasn't been fully developed yet."

"When the level of soul cognition is high enough... the eight corpses are no longer completely independent; they can form a very close connection through the eight chambers."

"To be precise, the two individuals, Hachifusa and Murasame, who originally seemed somewhat independent, will become closer at this time. The connections between the dolls, and between the dolls and you, will become even closer after the transformation."

The moment the longsword was drawn, the corpse inside the sheath also appeared in the massive Moria tunnel.

As Xu Feng reconstructed the corpses, he explained, "We haven't gathered enough suitable corpses yet. However, if they are properly matched, even just four or five corpses can exert the power of more than eight."

"First is the Balrog... This monster is fire-attribute and the strongest among all the corpses, but this makes the attributes in the Eighth Chamber unbalanced; we can only use Zoro's remnant soul to balance it out. Fortunately, I still have the Spanish silver coins I got from the Pirates of the Caribbean world. Although it's less than some, it can still give Zoro more resources."

"These two are the core, but not independent combat power; rather, they are buffs."

"The main force of the future Eight Houses Puppet Battle will be Park Chang-ho, who has transformed into Tyrande, and the Crystal Giant; one is offensive and the other is defensive. With the blessing of Balrog and Sauron, each attack will have both water and fire attributes."

The core soul of the stone giant is the shield-shaped Imperial Arm Titan obtained in the world of "Akame ga Kill!", while its body is the core of the three stone giants in the world of "The Lord of the Rings".

This puppet was only five meters tall, far shorter than the stone giant in the Misty Mountains, but its entire body was a concentrated essence.

It has amazing defensive capabilities and is also very strong.

Moreover, as long as it stands on the ground, it can be reborn continuously.

"Park Chang-ho's strength is too weak. Fortunately, Tyrande's evolution ability still exists after death. Using Smaug and those cold dragon materials, he can probably raise his strength to a higher level."

"And the core of these enhancements is you."

Balrog, Zoro, Park Chang-ho, Stone Giant...

Mei gazed at the dolls of varying sizes.

The renovation was not yet complete, but she clearly felt that she and these dolls had become closer, and that she could borrow their power.

However... this also seems to have made the knife much more difficult to control.

The priestess gripped her long sword tightly, and a red and black stream of energy swirled around her arms, forming a layer of phantom energy on her surface.

With the blessing of this illusory energy, her power increased significantly, making her no less powerful than the Flame Demon himself.

Moreover, it's not just strength that's being enhanced...

"The flames and poison of the Balrog... the necromancy and curses of Sauron... this sword has become even more sinister."

These powers are not limited to when she holds the knife.

The combat dolls in the sword also possess these attributes. Even the stone giant responsible for defense is as if it is wearing a layer of anti-damage armor. Once it is injured or inhaled by this airflow when attacking the stone giant, it will turn into a walking corpse and become a doll of Shinmura.

Most importantly, these states can be superimposed on the state of Buddha's Divine Descent.

Buddha Yuan is responsible for improving basic attributes, while the Eight-Room Puppet is responsible for offensive attributes.

Buddha and demon coexist.

Mei tested different states, each with its own advantages. For example, with enough energy, the puppet Zoro could create a fog that would cover a large city. This fog could also transform those who inhaled it into undead, and within the area covered by the fog, it could also enhance the power of the undead.

In summary, her abilities have undergone a qualitative leap compared to not long ago.

"The eight rooms are not yet full. If you had eight powerful enough corpses, your strength would increase by another small realm. Unfortunately, the ordinary monsters in the Lord of the Rings world are not strong enough to be residents of the eight rooms," Xu Feng said with a smile.

Vera is good enough, but unfortunately too strong.

A dozen or so Valar surrounded him; the outcome was uncertain, but Middle-earth… or rather, the entirety of Arda would surely be reduced to the void once more. At that time, even the vanished Ilúvatar might reappear.

The monsters from the previous cycle worlds that the East Sea team experienced are also not quite suitable.

“That’s enough.” Mei looked at Xu Feng with a smile: “The Murasame is already very difficult to control. If it gets any stronger, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control it perfectly, which would become a hidden danger.”

She knew it.

Her increased strength didn't close the gap between her and Xu Feng... There was nothing she could do; her man's strength had improved far more.

But she was already very satisfied with such a great deal of progress.

With the main god, it's impossible to achieve this level of improvement without spending two or three A-level side quests... Even if you spend a lot of time on side quests, you still need to find the most suitable enhancement for yourself.

Hsu Feng's reimagining goes beyond just Murasame.

The cannon fodder, the 'Destroyer,' has also undergone a qualitative transformation.

While rekindling his old friendship with Teresa in the world of "Claymore," Xu Feng also collected the genes of most of the Claymore warriors and recorded the sword techniques that Teresa developed based on "Buddha's Palm."

These genes, especially Teresa's genes, laid a solid foundation for the evolution of the 'Destroyer'.

Of course, Xu Feng's core to reshaping the 'Destroyer' is the Imperial Arms Rengoku Summoning and Mostima.

The foundation of the Lord of the Rings world is the Secret Fire, which, combined with the Great Symphony, constitutes the entire world. Xu Feng naturally inherited this element when he extracted the Great Symphony.

The true form of this Imperial Arm, summoned by Purgatory, is a hellish demon, somewhat similar to the Flame Demon.

After deep integration, it became the soul of the 'Destroyer' matrix.

Mostima's Winged Imperial Arms bears some resemblance to Teresa's in terms of genetic expression.

After deep integration, it became the physical foundation of the 'Destroyer's' mother body.

The final destroyer matrix doesn't change much; once unfolded, it remains the enormous twin goddesses, still devouring all organic matter and destroying everything in the world out of its genetic instincts.

However, the offspring it creates undergo significant changes.

They have become smaller, about the size of a normal person, about 1.8 meters tall.

With blonde hair and silver eyes, she is stunningly beautiful. At first glance, she looks similar to Park Chang-ho's two female prostitutes, but she has a more noble air about her compared to those two.

The Destroyer's offspring has two pairs of pure white wings on its back.

These two pairs of wings allow them to fly quickly and flexibly, and also to attack.

The harpy's previous appearance gave off an evil vibe, but now the Destroyer's offspring exudes justice from head to toe, and even the moves she uses have a righteous attribute.

Under the resonance of demonic energy, these destroyer sub-bodies can also use the sword techniques created by Teresa based on the "Buddha's Palm".

When attacking, the sword is imbued with golden flames and light.

These destroyer offspring, once born, will burn away all their fighting spirit until they are completely reduced to ashes.

When Zhao Zhuikong fought the Destroyer Sub-beings, he traded blows and quickly killed 360 Sub-beings; but if it were the upgraded Destroyer Sub-beings, trading blows would only turn Zhao Zhuikong to ashes.

The Destroyer Sub-bodies can also form formations to fight. With the resonance of 360 Destroyer Sub-bodies, the Buddha light emanating from the Tathagata Palm can become even brighter, covering a large area.

Once the mother body is provided with enough resources, the massive number of destroyer offspring, once united, will become an army capable of rapidly destroying the surface.

Fiery Angel.

This is the name that Xiangzi gave to the 'Destroyer' sub-entity.

After Xu Feng and Mei returned to the Main God Space, they handed the Poké Ball containing the Destroyer Mother to Xiangzi.

The 'Destroyer' is essentially driven by instinct and has no soul. Under the control of Xiangzi, the psychic controller, it becomes even more agile.

"Every time I see the results you've created, I feel inexplicably discouraged," Xiangzi said with a complicated expression.

It's hard to say for one-on-one.

But if she were attacked by a group of 360 radiant angels, she would surely be defeated.

His strength has clearly improved considerably in this match...

"Don't be too discouraged. The Destroyer is definitely in the top three among all the creations I've made," Xu Feng said with a smile.

"Top three?" Xiangzi couldn't help but cover her face.

Is this considered a consolation?
Okay, she had actually seen a more powerful mithril doll.

That was a mechanical creation, its production limited by rare minerals such as mithril, making it impossible to mass-produce, but it was indeed stronger than her, stronger than the current Destroyer Sub-body.

"The fact that the Radiant Angels could evolve to such a high level is not solely due to my efforts; Teresa's contribution was also significant," Xu Feng said. "Once Teresa's strength increases again in the future, they can probably become even stronger."

"All right……"

Xiangzi put away the Poké Ball.

A moment later, Xu Feng asked the two close reincarnators, "Xiangzi, Mei, does either of you want to return to the real world?"

Zhao Zhuikong made him believe in a certain possibility even more.

Because of that possibility, he even relaxed a lot... If it really was as he guessed, the future enemy was not worth him being too nervous about.

But he needs to verify it again before he can fully believe it.

The simplest way to verify this is to go back to the real world once.

It was not his personal return.

Xu Feng didn't even click 'YES' before entering the Main God Space, and he wasn't even in front of the computer. Who knows where he'll end up when he returns to the real world?

Only when Shoko and Mei return to reality can they verify all their conjectures.

"Back to reality?" Xiangzi shook his head.

"I don't have many ties in the real world, so it doesn't matter whether I go back or not. If Mei has something she has to do, let her go."

Mei hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm out of reward points."

She used most of her reward points to have children.

The remaining change was spent during the periodic cycles of reincarnation.

Xu Feng said with a smile, "It's nothing. After Bing'er killed Zoro, I received some reward points, which I can use to pay for it."

After defeating Zoro, he obtained an A-rank side quest, and with his previous achievements, he finally completed an S-rank quest.

But the problem now is that we don't have enough reward points...

S-level exchanges often require more than 30,000 reward points, and the higher the cost-effectiveness of the item, the more reward points are needed; however, Xu Feng spent most of his reward points on returning to the Lord of the Rings world for training, leaving only 10,000 reward points from killing Sauron.

This prevented him from purchasing suitable enhancements.

"Does Mei intend to take revenge?" Xu Feng asked.

He learned through his telepathic abilities why the little witch had returned to the real world.

"Hmm... Someone has to pay the price for my sister's death." The little witch said, her eyes blank. "I was indeed wrong, but the real murderer should also be punished!"

To avoid the prophesied death and embark on the path to death.

That's really terrible.

But is it fair that those in power then blame all the mistakes on the prophet?

Mei used to feel that all the blame was on herself. After her sister's death, she entered the cycle of reincarnation in self-pity.

Now all she wants to ask is... why?!

"In that case, let's use this puppet as the main force when it comes to revenge."

Xu Feng created a lifelike, realistic doll.

The doll's appearance is that of Zhao Zhuikong.
