Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 268 The Sage's Benevolence is Unparalleled; A Superpowered Beast Appears at a Comic Con.

Artoria mistakenly believes there is a perfect way to rule that avoids all sacrifices. This obsession prevents her from accepting necessary compromises and costs, causing her to hesitate at crucial moments.

She completely negated her own rule because of "the end of Britain," ignoring the achievements and influence of Great Britain under her leadership, and overestimating her personal control over the course of history.
But these "mistakes" are precisely what make Wang's personality great; it is this "imperfection" that makes her such a moving hero!

This is not her evaluation, but rather the evaluation of later historical records.

What? You're saying there's no such evaluation?

Now you can just add it, right?
Aside from those countries in the East, how many Western countries would proactively record their history?
As Artoria listened to Windsor's sincere words, a smile unconsciously appeared on her lips, and the ahoge (cowlick) on her head swayed gently.

"The best King Arthur?"

She murmured softly, her voice tinged with self-deprecation, yet unable to conceal the joy of being recognized.

Although she understood that this was just an exaggerated evaluation from Windsor out of admiration, this affirmation from later generations still warmed her heart.

However, even though she was so highly praised by later generations, her inner determination to change the fate of Britain never faded.

But now, her thoughts are different from before.

She no longer aspires to return to the day of royal selection, hoping that a more outstanding person will replace her in pulling the sword from the stone. Instead, she aims to achieve, through her own strength, the state of "reversing the course of history" as described by the Great Xia Dynasty.

With absolute power, we will break the shackles of fate and bring eternal peace and prosperity to Great Britain.

Since history has already proven her limitations as a queen, this time she will transcend her royal status and rewrite her destiny with absolute power!
Artoria thought to herself, then looked out the window.

I wonder what people in Great Xia, which is at the forefront of the times, are doing now.

Presumably, they are working hard for the future.

Daxia, the Shanghai Comic Con.

A young blogger wearing a baseball cap is holding up a huge blackboard with levels SSS to C marked in bold font.

The cardboard box next to it was filled with cards of various anime female characters.

"Ranking of female anime characters".

"Whatever you draw is what you get, but it has to be one you've already seen."

The blogger greeted passersby warmly.

A bespectacled man in a plaid shirt walked up curiously and took a card out of the box:
"Yukikinoshita Yukino?!"

"Is that even a question? S-rank straight! Mushino is definitely right!"

After he made his selection, two stylishly dressed girls came over. The one with long hair glanced at him curiously, then pulled a card out of the box. Her eyes lit up when she saw the person on the card:
"Emilia? SSS, she has to be SSS! No reason needed, I just love her!"

Her best friend nodded repeatedly.

The crowd gradually grew larger, and more and more people stepped forward to draw cards and rank themselves.

Misaka Mikoto absolutely deserves SSS rank! A Certain Scientific Railgun is forever a god!

[Poch-chan is so cute, who ranked her in B? She should at least be an A.]

[Kato Megumi must be SSS! Megumi is the best!]

[Saber, she might have only been ranked S before, but now that she's actually here, she's definitely SSS rank!]

[Sakura Sakura? Who ranked her? Sakura Haruno can be ranked S? Although she's great in the later stages and Boruto, considering the early stages, A is probably the best we can go for. A is the absolute maximum, unless you go to extremes.]

[Furukawa Nagisa must get SSS rank, she's a god.]

Ran should at least be an A, although there were some issues later on, but that's purely the production team's fault, not Ran's. Speaking of which, who's ranked A among Haruno Sakuras? Wasn't the C rank just prepared for her? Putting her in C makes no mistake!

[Can only four SSS-rank characters be placed? Then let's put Misaka Mikoto at S-rank and Violet at SSS-rank.]

[Rem? I really wanted to rank her SSS, but Violet, Megumi Kato, Nagisa Furukawa, and Artoria are all quite authoritative, so I'll put her in S.]

[If Ran is in A, then I, Ai Haibara, have to be in A too. I ship Shinichi & Ran, and Conan & Ai.]

[Railgun only ranked S? It has to be SSS! I'm a huge Railgun fan!]

Why isn't Sakurajima Mai mentioned? It's not that I dislike Takanashi Rikka, but I actually prefer her older sister.

【.】

After a fierce competition, the four SSS-level spots were finally decided, and no one changed them until the very end.

Saber Artoria, Yukino Yukinoshita, Misaka Mikoto, and Nagisa Furukawa successfully topped the list, while Megumi Kato and Violet were surprisingly relegated to S-rank.

Surprisingly, Kurumi Tokisaki was not on the list.

According to the blogger's explanation, characters who have already appeared in real life were deliberately excluded. After all, Kurumi has already appeared in reality, and logically and emotionally, it is a foregone conclusion that she will be selected as an SSS-class character. This kind of predictable result actually makes the ranking meaningless.

However, to the blogger's surprise, Artoria, who descended into reality but appeared in the British Empire, was actually placed in the SSS rank.

He thought that Saber was far away in the British Empire, and even if she came to the real world, it wouldn't affect their choices, but it still did.

Or is this a choice that has no impact?

Blogger "Stardust" smiled as he looked at the finalized list.

Once this highly topical ranking video is released, it will likely generate considerable buzz online.

However, the fact that both Ran Mouri and Ai Haibara were ranked A-class was somewhat unexpected. He had originally thought that at least one of them would reach S-class.

"Aze, is all the footage recorded?"

Stardust turned to ask his filming partner beside him.

"Everything's done." Aze gave an OK sign and adjusted the camera on his shoulder.

"Speaking of which, ever since the phenomenon of dimensional invasion appeared, the scale of comic conventions has become more and more exaggerated."

Stardust looked around and saw that the convention center, which covered tens of thousands of square meters, was bustling with people, and various cosplay groups were performing on the main stage.

Compared to the comic conventions before the resurgence of spiritual energy, it's simply incomparable.

For anime and manga fans, this can indeed be described as a "golden age" in a certain sense.

Of course, he was referring to normal anime and manga fans; those extreme fans were not included.

"By the way, Stardust, I recently read a novel about a real dimensional being that suddenly appears at a comic convention. Do you think it might happen today?"

Aze smiled at Xingchen and said, and Xingchen smiled back and interrupted:

"Come on, this kind of plot device has been around for ten years. It's just making a comeback by riding the wave of 'dimensional invasion.' What a coincidence!"

"Roar!!!"

A deafening roar suddenly echoed throughout the convention center, interrupting Stardust's words. The two turned around in astonishment and saw a huge cloud of smoke rising from the direction of the main stage, in which a distorted monster could be vaguely seen writhing.

The entire venue instantly descended into chaos. Amidst the screams, Stardust and Aze exchanged bewildered glances, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

You jinx!

Stardust murmured, the ranking list in his hand having fallen to the ground at some point.

In the distance, the blurry figure gradually revealed its ferocious outline.

The dark green worm-like creature has a carapace covered with tumor-like protrusions that gleam eerily under the light. Its sharp, fang-like mouthparts open and close constantly, and its compound eyes flash with a dangerous yellow light. Several ring-shaped patterns on its back appear and disappear with the breathing-like wriggling motion.

"This is... a mutant beast?"

Stardust's pupils contracted slightly.

Although he is an anime blogger, he has a deep understanding of tokusatsu dramas. Moreover, with the emergence of the powers of Flame Dragon Armor, Kamen Rider, and even Ultraman, he has already caught up on the relevant plots and watched many of the new generation of Ultraman.

Although it's impossible to identify which specific alien beast this is, it's definitely an alien beast!
"It's the Demon Silkworm Beast!"

"The No. 13 mutant beast, created by modifying a contaminated silkworm!"

Aze said in a deep voice.

Stardust turned his head in surprise upon hearing this:
"When did you become so knowledgeable about mutant beasts?"

"This is just doing homework, isn't it? We are..."

Aze scratched his head sheepishly, instinctively wanting to explain, but the two quickly realized that now was not the time to discuss this!
"How to say?"

Aze tightened his grip on the camera, his eyes twitching between fear and excitement.

Stardust hesitated for only a second before his eyes ignited with the professional fervor of a blogger:

"Let's do it! There's no reason not to shoot great footage when we see it!"

"When I arrived, I noticed that there were people from the Tian Shu Bureau stationed there. Reinforcements should arrive soon."

"it is good!"

With a determined glint in their eyes, the two chose to go against the flow amidst the panicked fleeing crowd, moving swiftly towards the direction of the Demon Silkworm Beast.

If viewed from above, the entire convention site resembles a lake surface tossed with pebbles, with crowds scattering and fleeing like ripples. However, amidst these outward-spreading "ripples," several small black dots are resolutely moving towards the center area—figures who, like Stardust and his companions, have chosen to go against the flow.

However, unlike Stardust, who wanted to film footage, they were superhumans with third-tier strength.

Now, after the second spiritual energy tide, Tier 3 is no longer as rare as before; even at comic conventions, there are more than one.

"Although the Flame Dragon Armor in the real world is very strong, that's because the master of the Fire Armor is God Ye!"

"If it's just a mutant beast, its strength definitely won't be that great!"

"I should be enough on my own."

A burly man, his entire body gleaming with a metallic sheen, strode forward, his fists clashing together, producing a metallic clang.

As soon as he finished speaking, the burly man charged towards the demonic silkworm beast like a cannonball.

His right fist slammed heavily into the body of the demonic silkworm beast with a whooshing sound.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent impact, the burly man's confidence froze instantly.

He could clearly see that his nearly full-force punch only left a shallow dent on the surface of the Demon Silkworm Beast's body, and that dent was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"That's not allowed."

Before the burly man could finish his exclamation, the right tentacle of the demonic silkworm beast slammed directly into his body.

"puff!"

The terrifying force acted directly on his body, and in an instant, the burly man was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the exhibition platform twenty meters away.

Blood gushed from his mouth, and he was too weak to even struggle to his feet.

It looks like a roadside path.
