Infinite Gods Reign Supreme

Chapter 116: The Azure Lotus and Virgo
Telekinetic floating cannons.

The wheelchair is a classic item from the Infinite World concept, and Si Ming had previously researched its data—its price of A+8000 caused its value to drop from the category of a cheap and high-quality wheelchair. However, its combat power remains unquestionable.

The beam of light descended.

From the pillar of light, hundreds of pure white flying blades silently emerged. They gathered around Yu Zhiwei, piecing together to form a definite shape. Tiny sparks of electricity danced and flickered within them, and finally, in the form of a blooming white lotus, they settled into stability in the eyes of the reincarnators.

Si Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.

"It's like this?"

"What, is this not quite what you expected?" Yu Zhiwei tilted her head slightly, then suddenly realized. "Oh, you've bought Mind Flayers that can use telekinesis before. It's normal that you've seen items related to this... so you probably didn't notice that telekinetic drones are a large category, and I just bought one of the branches that suited me."

She pulled down a light curtain for the exchange.

—【Psychodynamic Floating Cannon - Azure Lotus—Originating from 'pan-science fiction,' this is a floating cannon system composed of 108 flying blade-shaped sub-machines. It possesses self-repair capabilities, and the flying blades have high-frequency cutting properties and can release high-energy lasers. Simultaneously, it can amplify, tune, and transform the user's own psychokinetic abilities—lightning is most effective, but other types of transformations are also possible.】

—【To exchange for this item, you need to complete one A-rank side quest and earn 15000 reward points. Furthermore, the user must have at least BB-level psychic power to effectively activate it. If psychic power is insufficient, additional payment will be made by draining the user's life force.】

Points consumed have almost doubled.

However, the number of floating engines was reduced to only one-tenth of the initial version.

Si Ming looked at her quietly, while Yu Zhiwei simply nodded slightly.

"The total number has been reduced, but the individual performance has been improved. Now, each of these 108 floating blades possesses strength surpassing that of a single sub-machine of the previous Sky Scepter. Moreover—"

She waved her hand.

The Azure Lotus crumbled before her, transforming into hundreds of high-speed, slicing streaks of light that hurtled towards the ground. In an instant, the pure white earth that formed the main god's plaza was cleaved open, creating a massive hole. A tunnel was suddenly formed, and the converging streaks of light burst forth from the earth a hundred meters away just seconds later!

"Its physical destructive power is quite outstanding."

The flying blade fell into the shadows, then leaped out again behind her, transforming into a ring-like structure. The next moment, she grasped at the large clod of earth that had been ripped from the ground by the Azure Lotus's attack. And, visibly, space itself contracted due to the activation of her telekinetic powers!
There was no wind, but the reincarnators all felt their bodies being propelled by a powerful external force. Valentina, standing next to Liesel, quickly grabbed her before she was thrown into the air, and the tens of thousands of cubic meters of earth were flattened into an incredibly solid, round, and smooth sphere of matter by Yu Zhiwei's burst of telekinesis.

"The increase in telekinesis is also about six times stronger than when I used the Vast Sky Scepter before."

She glanced at Liesel, seemingly apologizing, or perhaps surprised that this Pokémon's constitution was so incredibly weak. But in the end, she simply opened her clenched fist, then, with her fingers together, she slashed down like a knife.

'Clatter!'

A bolt of azure lightning, several meters thick, crashed down, relentlessly lashing at the target Yu Zhiwei had anchored a hundred meters away. The bombardment continued for several seconds without ending. The downward chop then switched to a horizontal slash, and the next moment, a small-scale thunderstorm covering several hundred meters exploded out.

That was a bolt of lightning powerful enough to cover an entire city block. Perhaps it wasn't as powerful as the Night Demon Armor's 'Thunder Prison' in terms of quality, and it was also somewhat lacking in terms of scalability. But its ability to annihilate small fry was undeniably formidable.

"The lightning attribute transformation seems to suit me perfectly." She released her grip, and the ring behind her transformed back into a lotus flower. After a moment's thought, she simply jumped onto the lotus flower, and her entire demeanor changed slightly, silently shifting from her original languid and eerie air to a more dignified and solemn one.

Her companions stared at her in disbelief.

Liesel glanced at the Vast Sky Scepter she had just received. She...she still thought it smelled wonderful.

“Very expandable, this is indeed a very suitable weapon for you.” Jacob examined the man standing on the lotus platform, and a lightbulb seemed to light up above his head.

But in the end, it was Luo Yinglong who said what he wanted to say.

"But since you're pretending to be a bodhisattva, don't you think... there's something a bit superfluous about you?" The fearless Luo Yinglong stared at the smiling Yu Zhiwei, rubbing his hands together in anticipation. "Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, I suppose, usually don't wear shoes, right?"

........................

It must be said that the God's Restoration and Astral Projection techniques are indeed very beneficial for team communication within the Celestial Team. Luo Yinglong successfully obtained Yu Zhiwei's shoes, but unfortunately, his poorly enhanced head couldn't catch them. The Reincarnators obtained the valuable data that Yu Zhiwei's angry attack could throw a high heel at ten times the speed of sound. And Luo Yinglong also understood from this that the God's full-body Restoration would take a full seventeen seconds to repair his upper body above the stomach that had disappeared.

Everyone was happy, congratulations! The only loss was that Yu Zhiwei's high heels unfortunately exploded into organic twists upon landing. But after that, Yu Zhiwei did indeed start going barefoot. Anyway, she had enough telekinesis to create a protective shield, and given her unique monstrous troll physique, it didn't matter if she got her feet dirty.

Probably that's it.

As she tossed the Azure Lotus into the shadows and returned to her languid posture in her seat, Si Ming offered his assessment of her current plans.

"It seems you gained quite a bit of insight from reading that Heart Sutra, Yu Zhiwei. Do you have some expectations for Buddhist principles?"

As far as Si Ming knows, in the infinite worldview, Buddhist techniques generally have backdoors. Learning them might lead to some less-than-ideal outcomes.

"I do have that idea," Yu Zhiwei didn't deny. "That Heart Sutra has been a great help to me, and I really want to further refine it in other areas. Perhaps this kind of spiritual improvement can effectively suppress my symptoms."

“Then, I have another suggestion.” Si Ming reached out and pulled down a light barrier for exchanging tokens. “Do you remember that West Sea Team psychic we defeated in the last world?”

"That man named Julian?" Yu Zhiwei looked at the exchange information on the light screen. "Cosmo... AA-level Shaka trait enhancement? You want me... to enhance a Saint?"

"It's not enhancement, it's cultivation. I remember your bloodline and energy cycle are incompatible, but things like the microcosm are a little different."

Cosmo is the power of a Saint Seiya, and its essence is the development of the soul. However, before developing the infinite power surging from the depths of the soul, its initial training is the growth of physical energy.

“I can’t cultivate a microcosm.” Yu Zhiwei raised her head, her will slightly connected with the main god. “…It can’t be done through enhancement either. Although my troll bloodline has combined with the freakish form, its characteristic of devouring and circulating energy still exists. The main god’s deduction is that however much I enhance, that much will be devoured, and it will all become pure life force. But my life force is already excessive.”

“But it’s not like you can’t practice, right?” Si Ming shrugged. “Even if the energy circulation doesn’t work, your realm might still be able to improve. Anyway, you’ll eventually need to cultivate your mind, or save up enough money to upgrade to the level of Shaka’s Seventh Sense in one go. And by then, the problems deep in your soul will probably no longer be problems.”

"Skipping over physical enhancement and advancing directly to the seventh sense of 'great power flowing from the soul'? It feels like the path of an ascetic..." Yu Zhiwei thought for a moment, tilting her head slightly.

"Alright." She snapped her fingers. "I'm also quite interested in the Virgo Cloth. So now, I'm Yu Zhiwei, the Virgo Silver Saint."

A lotus of azure light floated out, and with her will, it was reshaped and recreated, transforming into a pure white armor draped over her body. The brief display of bare feet came to an end, and her actions naturally drew criticism from those in the know.

"Where did a Virgo get a Silver Saint from..." Almaria, who had been speaking very little since her return, couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"You've reminded me." The next moment, Yu Zhiwei's Shadow Blade power shrouded her cosplay-style Virgo Cloth in a layer of black veil. "Then let me correct my status. From this moment on, I am the Dark Gold Saint, Yu Zhiwei!"

well.

The Dark version of the Saint Cloth is a degraded version of the original Saint Cloth. The bootleg version is a whole tier weaker than the original. Dark Virgo... could indeed hold its own against the Silver Saint version of Virgo. If someone were to actually fight her as a Dark Gold Saint, the consequences would likely be quite dire.

But before that...

Almaria opened her mouth.

He wants to speak but stops, he stops talking but he desires again.

But in the end, I couldn't help but mutter to myself—

"You're doing it like this without any soul... Okay, at least put some genuine stuff on it."

"As long as it works, it's fine." Yu Zhiwei waved her hand, not wanting to continue the conversation on this topic that had gone on and on from the start. "Okay, that's basically my plan. Hmm... who's next?"

It could be Jacob, or it could be Luo Yinglong.

However, Si Ming was faster—he reached out and retrieved the head of King Grik, which he had refined with the energy of life and death, from the summoning space. A vast, restrained power gathered within it, and he needed to know how to use it.

"Valentina, come on, give me a hand."
