Dimension Demon's Chat Group

Why is there still one person in Chapter 129?

No wonder he didn't get this skill after changing to Sword Master; it turns out he didn't meet the conditions for acquiring the skill!

Judging from the skill description on the system panel, it seems that one needs to expel the demonic power from the demon's hand in order to obtain the Swift Shadow Hand.

But true sword spirits are those who expel the power of ghosts and gods through their own will.

How could he possibly meet the conditions with the help of external forces?

Thinking of this, Lin Lie's expression turned strange, and he couldn't help but look up at Lin Yu in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Yu was examining the scarlet fragment floating in his palm.

Noticing the gaze directed at him, he looked up at Lin Lie's pale right arm and said calmly, "From the moment I stepped into this world, I sensed a chaotic and insane consciousness within you."

"This consciousness not only covets your body at all times, but it even dares to harbor malice towards me!"

"At the time, I only thought it was the soul of Chi You that you mentioned, but now it seems that it's not that simple!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and put away the scarlet fragment. At the same time, he flashed and appeared in front of Lin Lie.

"Tell me!" Lin Yu looked directly into Lin Lie's eyes and said calmly, "First it was Ghost Hand, then White Hand. There must be a reason for all these things that belong to the Dungeon & Fighter world, right?"

"..."

Lin Lie's expression was complicated. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Since you've discovered it, I won't hide it anymore. That's right, I do have some secrets. In the words of a transmigrator, they are my own unique cheat codes!"

Lin Yu asked noncommittally, "Is it this ghost hand?"

Lin Lie was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know how it attached itself to me. I only know that the ghost hand was activated when I first took the Fuxi Sword."

"Also appearing at the same time are the two destroyed sealing rings from before..."

Is it really just that?
Lin Yu gave Lin Lie a meaningful look.

Lin Lie noticed Lin Yu's gaze and his heart tightened. He quickly said, "Brother Yu, it's not that I'm unwilling to be honest. I've told you basically everything I can. As for the rest..."

Lin Lie paused for a moment, looking troubled.

Does it mean there's something you can't say about it?

Lin Yu nodded thoughtfully, then changed the subject, saying, "So, according to that logic, the group file you just uploaded contains the Ghost Swordsman's skills, right?"

Lin Lie answered honestly, "Yes."

No wonder it's so valuable; the power of the Ghost Swordsman is a whole new system!

Lin Yu nodded in agreement.

After a moment's thought, he opened his palm, revealing the scarlet fragment in his palm.

"This thing is the crystallization of the power of ghosts and gods, and can only be used by ghost hands."

"is it?"

Lin Lie stared at Lin Yu expectantly and said, "So what you mean is..."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "This item is useless to me, so I'll return it to you!"

Lin Lie was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Brother Yu!"

Lin Yu shook his head and said, "Don't be too happy. Considering the degree of your connection with the Ghost Hand, I only stripped away the power of the ghost and gods. That consciousness is still dormant in your arm. You'd better use it with caution."

"I see!"

Lin Lie nodded solemnly and then accepted the scarlet fragment.

The next second, the system's item panel popped up in his mind.

[Fragments of Kazan's Power]

[Quality: Golden Epic]

【Type: Consumables/Materials】

[Description: A fragment of the power of Kazan, the God of Destruction, extracted from a sword spirit who had relinquished his demonic powers; it is of relatively high purity.]

[Uses: Can be used as a consumable to unleash demonic skills, or as a material to craft equipment (this item can be obtained by defeating Kazan or Kazan Syndrome sufferers)]

It's a fragment of Kazan's power?!
Lin Lie's pupils contracted, and he finally understood why his ghost hand was so powerful.

The ordinary Ghost Hand is influenced by the Ninth Apostle, Bakal the Dragon King, but his Ghost Hand is different; its ferocity is comparable to that of a berserker suffering from Kazan Syndrome.

Based on Lin Yu's description, a chaotic consciousness slumbers in his ghostly hand, which might be a fragment of Kazan's soul or even the original Kazan!
Of course, this is just one possibility. DNF has been running for so many years, and rewriting content is commonplace. Kazan's character design has also been modified repeatedly. Who knows which version he's facing...

Lin Yu hovered quietly in the air, carefully observing the changes in Lin Lie's expression.

Although he didn't know what this guy was hiding, he could tell that the chaotic consciousness was related to another world, and might be a backup plan that world had planted on Lin Lie.

As for its form of expression, it is definitely not just a ghost hand; it must at least be a game system, right?
If that's the case, then Lin Lie's unspeakable secret can be explained. After all, systems usually have some strange rules that cannot be revealed to the outside world.

Violations will be severely punished, ranging from outright dismissal to outright expulsion; these are basic procedures.

Although Lin Yu was confident that he could save Lin Lie's life under the so-called erasure, that would require returning to his inner universe, which was definitely not possible in the Marvel world.

"In short, let's keep an eye on this little guy for now, and find an opportunity later to invite him into our inner universe..."

As Lin Yu thought this, he waved his hand and teleported the two of them into the hotel.

Back in the room, Lin Yu took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Lin Lie. "What's this?"

Lin Lie looked at the jade pendant with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yu waved his hand, took out the sealing ring fragments he had just collected, and explained, "When I was stripping away the power of the ghosts and gods just now, I accidentally destroyed your sealing ring. Although I have collected all the scattered fragments, this technique cannot be replicated for the time being."

"Before we completely repair the sealing ring, let's use this jade pendant to suppress the consciousness of the ghosts and gods!"

Lin Lie suddenly realized what was happening and quickly reached out to take the jade pendant.

The moment his fingers touched the jade pendant, streaks of white light emerged from it, covering his right arm and restoring the pale arm with its phantom effect to its original appearance.

nice one!
Lin Lie's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but thank Lin Yu again.

"Don't be so polite, I'm just making up for my mistake..."

Lin Yu said with a smile, "Alright, let's not delay, let's go!"

"Leave?" Lin Lie was taken aback. "Where to?"

"New York Temple!"

Lin Yu replied matter-of-factly, then said with a smile, "Don't worry, this time, neither the Sorcerer Supreme nor the New York Temple will turn you away..."

……

……

177A Brick Street, Lower Manhattan, New York.

Lin Lie stood on the street full of pedestrians, staring blankly at the ancient hall in front of him.

This is the Kamar-Taj Shrine in New York, located in the heart of a bustling city center, surrounded by modern skyscrapers, yet this ancient shrine remains unchanged from a thousand years ago.

He passed by the building several times without noticing it at all.

It's clear that his previous visits were definitely orchestrated by the Supreme Master...

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Yu's voice came from the side, waking Lin Lie from his reverie.

He scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I'm just a little confused. Why did the three great temples that the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto, built a thousand years ago happen to be located in London, New York, and Hong Kong?"

London and Hong Kong are one thing, but New York is only a few hundred years old.

Thousands of years ago, this place was a primitive and desolate land. Even the three ancient civilizations of the Americas had not yet formed, and there were no conditions to build a temple!

"There's nothing strange about this."

Lin Yu glanced at him and said, "With Agamotto's power, peeking into the future is just basic stuff. Let alone New York a thousand years from now, even your visit right now might be within his sights..."

Is it that exaggerated?

Lin Lie blinked, then asked, "And what about you?"

"..."

Lin Yu laughed and turned to look at the New York Temple in front of him, saying, "Then we'll see just how strong he really is!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Lie seemed to be deep in thought, keenly sensing an extremely strong sense of confidence within it.

After regaining his senses, he took the initiative and walked to the front of the New York Temple.

Pedestrians hurried past him, but not one of them turned to look at him. It was as if some force had influenced them, causing them to completely ignore the ancient temple.

Before anyone could knock, the main gate of the temple slowly opened.

A Taoist priest, dressed in a Taoist robe and with a long beard, clearly of East Asian descent, stood there, calmly looking at Lin Lie.

Seeing this, Lin Lie was stunned for a moment.

Before he could speak, the Taoist priest turned to the side and stretched his arm inward.

"Master of the Fuxi Sword, please come inside. The Ancient One has been waiting for you for quite some time..."

really!

Lin Lie felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but turn to look at Lin Yu.

At this moment, Lin Yu was observing the Taoist priest with great interest, especially his outstretched arm, where the hand was severed at the wrist, leaving only a withered forearm.

If he remembers correctly, this Chinese monk with a long beard and Taoist robe also appeared in the movie.

His name is Hamil, and his relationship with the Ancient One is similar to that of the King and Doctor Strange before the snap, where he is positioned as a capable assistant.

In the comics, this Hamil the mage is the king's father, but it's unclear whether they are father and son in this world...

Lin Yu thought with interest.

At the same time, seeing that Lin Lie did not move, Hamil frowned and followed his gaze forward, only then did he see Lin Yu behind him.

……Um?

Why is there still one person?
