I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

Mingxian: "..."

What is this?

I just don't understand this girl at all!

Ding!

[The host has completed the strategy]

[Rewards have been issued]

Please keep up the good work!

[Romantic options discovered: Kaoru Seta, Ikumi Kitazawa, Kanon Matsubara, Misaki Okusawa]

Mingxian: "..."

So, everyone here is a romanceable character?

For some reason, Mingxian felt mentally exhausted, even more so than when he fought the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Not Agito: Chapter Fifteen: Thousand-Body Scorching Star

A luxury residence in central Tokyo.

The bedroom design follows a minimalist style, with every layout revealing a simple yet stylish aesthetic. A pendant light emits a soft glow, illuminating the entire space.

The desk is located by the window, with a wide view of the city lights stretching out before you, offering a panoramic view of the vibrant nightlife.

Necessary stationery and some simple decorations were placed on it.

The walls are predominantly off-white, creating a soft contrast with the dark wood floors.

The entire bedroom design is perfectly balanced, with every piece of furniture placed just right, showcasing a tranquil and simple lifestyle.

Mingxian looked at the student ID and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"The strings resonate..."

I'm a little annoyed that I suddenly have an extra surname.

However, he didn't care. According to the rules of this world, orphans can add a surname at the age of eighteen, and if they are adopted, they can add the surname of their adoptive family.

Tsurumaki Hikaru was adopted through proper procedures. Knowing that the Tsurumaki family wanted to "adopt" him, the department on the other side strongly requested that the Tsurumaki family add his surname.

Having a surname means being an adopted son with inheritance rights...

This matter is a bit complicated, mainly because it's a bit difficult to explain. Mingxian doesn't have much of an attachment to the "surname," so let's just leave it at that.

In his previous life, he shared the same surname as his adoptive grandfather, who was a war orphan... and his surname was "Dang" (meaning "Party").

The word "鸣弦" (míngxián) means to pluck the strings of a musical instrument to make it sound, and it implies that officials govern well and the people live in peace and happiness.

Having transmigrated to a world with a significantly different timeline, Mingxian no longer wanted to use that surname.

The Tsurumaki family was also incredibly powerful, easily transferring their household registration to Tokyo, completing all the necessary adoption procedures, and even directly enrolling their children in Shuchiin Academy.

Based in Minato Ward, Tokyo, it is a continuous school from kindergarten to university.

You can also transfer in midway through the program; the deviation score for the high school section is around 77.

It was originally founded as an institution for educating noble and samurai families, and is a prestigious school with a long history.

Even now, with the abolition of the aristocracy, many talented individuals from wealthy and prestigious families, destined to shoulder the fate of the nation, study here.

The academy is basically controlled by the Shinomiya family.

In such a prestigious school, the Genmaki family could easily enroll their children simply by making a request.

Mingxian got up and walked to the mirror.

Metallic threads appeared around her waist, transforming into a silvery-white belt with a white gemstone at its center.

His body suddenly became burning hot.

Steam rose from the body, and when the steam dissipated, the warrior's figure was reflected in the mirror.

Swords and halberds, a heart of gold, lungs of silver, a head of bronze and a back of iron, flesh and blood of fine steel.

He wore a full-coverage helmet, golden armor on his chest, and armor with engravings and runes on his forearms and calves.

"Ajatasatru".

The string rang out this word.

It seems that the body was cast into this "living sword" based on the design of Kamen Rider Agito from memory, but it cannot reproduce the original plastic feel. Instead, it feels like a modified version of SIC Rider.

"The transformation into what form is actually my own decision; it's just that I've chosen this look out of habit."

Mingxian couldn't help but take a closer look at himself and came to a conclusion.

“I’m so handsome!”

This design, which combines mechanical and monster styles, looks cool no matter how you look at it.

Whether something is practical or powerful is only temporary; what matters is its stylish design!

Gene lock level 2—open!

With the activation of the gene lock, the magic began to control the cursed power within the body, the steel-like flesh began to writhe, and the cursed power transformed into metal weapons, causing the body to change once again.

This time, the design resembles a locust.

It changed again, like a pitch-black fly.

"Change again."

This time, the outfit is entirely red, resembling a bird.

"Change again."

The entire design is mechanical, with photon veins outlining a human figure.

"Change again."

"Change!"

"Transform..."

She kept changing her body shape in front of the mirror and striking various poses.

Mingxian felt very satisfied.

This is much more fun than Bandai's toys.

Finally, Mingxian transformed back into the form of Ajita, with a golden light emanating from the spirit stone in the center of his silver-white belt, resembling a radiant sun.

Chi You's power was to transform matter into weapons.

This unchanging matter was designated as its own body by the resounding string.

With the power of the Steel God, its defensive capabilities are astonishing, but its weakness is that once its body is weaponized, it cannot heal itself.

However, even if injured, such as having their body pierced or even losing their head, they can still fight as usual.

After all, it is a "weapon".

Thinking of this, Mingxian casually picked up a pen.

呲呲!

The pen instantly transformed into a steel needle.

I held it in my hand to test it; it was similar to an ordinary steel needle. Holding it in my hand seemed to enhance its power, but it was still better than nothing.

The steel needle was placed on the table, but it did not turn back into a pen.

Mingxian stared at the steel needle, and green glass flashed between the huge golden horns.

The steel needle then turned back into a pen.

Has the structure of matter been completely changed?

It can turn any substance it touches into a weapon. If you try to resist it with magical power, it will probably be completely ineffective. It might not even be as good as the Marquis's Mystic Eyes, which at least can make a Godslayer salted for a moment.

Mingxian looked at the pen again, gathering his magic power towards his brow, wanting to turn the pen back into a steel needle.

The pen on the table remained unchanged.

"Is it impossible to use telekinesis like Tony did to transform something that has already been transformed into a weapon again?"

I have a general idea of ​​what's going on.

Chi You's powers were not perfect; they had many limitations.

In terms of defense and immortality, it cannot compare to Tony's "Steel Protection," nor can it match "Tearing Silver Hand" in terms of agility.

However, this [power] has the means of being exported.

crash.

It crashes into the enemy like a comet, creating the effect of a meteorite falling to the ground. If it were to crash directly into the ground from space, its power would be no less than that of the white horse of the protagonist in the original work.

This process is like a match rubbing together to generate heat, releasing the body's destructive power as a weapon.

However, when used on the ground, the power of frictional heat to ignite the body seems somewhat insufficient.

"You can also eat divine artifacts."

Mingxian remembered the two divine artifacts he had previously devoured.

The war drums of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and the golden sword forged by Mithra.

It's likely that not only these two divine artifacts can be consumed, but other divine artifacts can also be refined within the body and transformed into one's own power.

"Perhaps, like the Kusanagi Sword, it can merge with the powers one possesses to produce new effects."

Mingxian made a reasonable conjecture.

【Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi】is the power that Kusanagi Godou, the protagonist of the original work, gained after defeating the giant Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi and obtaining its recognition as his master.

In fact, it is not power, but the sword of Ama Murakumo, which is a subordinate god and a divine tool, recognizes the godslayer as its master and absorbs the characteristics of the rebellious barbarians into its own power.

It can absorb divine power that harms its master and convert it into its own power, possessing special attacks against dragons and snakes.

The ability to steal, to copy cursed power or steal "small amounts" of it, is indeed a small part of what god-killers and gods can do.
