I am a god-slayer, not your hero.

This is someone who doesn't exist in the long river of time.

Those who exist only in the realm of possibility.

And then there's the issue of replicating souls—isn't that going too far?

Could it easily replicate my soul, and even my physical body?

Variable copying is feasible.

Only fourth-order variables are unique; all other variables can be identical.

Mingxian stood on the balcony for a long time, looking down at the dense crowd of people and vehicles below, which resembled ants. Suddenly, he felt a great sadness, an indescribable sense of insignificance, and a sense of awe for the vastness of the universe.

Did I ever have these thoughts before?

The information was subtly reflected in the exterior scenery.

Mingxian raised his hand and placed this information into the personal terminal that had been transformed into a weapon by [Thousand Body Scorching Star].

It contains the blueprints of the soul.

Human technology cannot store these, but weapons transformed by power can.

That being said, Mingxian found that the technology used by the system was very rudimentary, and even somewhat strangely familiar.

"Flutterlight."

This is a technology from Sword Art Online.

The human brain contains countless microtubules within its brain cells, each containing countless photons. By reading its quantum field, one can obtain all the information stored in the brain.

The light that exists inside the brain of a living organism is called "natural light," while the light produced by replicating natural light is called "artificial light."

The core quantum computing circuit is quantum light that achieves communication with the brain cell cytoskeleton through quantum communication.

It is considered to be communication of the soul.

The photon gate crystal is a cube with sides of five centimeters, which is a device for storing light.

This technology shouldn't exist in World 492; it comes from a possible world line.

"what……"

Mingxian was slightly surprised.

It wasn't that I was surprised by the Yaoguang technology; back when we were fighting Luotu-1, we had already observed thought particles and even the Fate Line, which was even more subtle than photons and quantum fields.

What truly surprised Mingxian was the fluctlights the system had given her, not just Alice's fluctlight from the original Sword Art Online manga, but also several other fluctlights.

Mingxian uttered a single word.

"Accelerated World".

Just as Mingxian was deep in thought, suddenly, a war drum boomed in the sky, as if an ancient war song had suddenly exploded in his ears.

He turned around abruptly, his gaze sharp as lightning, instantly locking onto that distant direction.

Someone is using a bronze war drum as a horn to embark on the path of demons.

The sound of the war drums, like ten thousand horses galloping or thunder rumbling, carried an irresistible majesty and power, piercing through the clamor and striking the deepest fighting spirit and desire in people's hearts.

Without a moment's hesitation, Mingxian transformed into a whirlwind, sweeping past.

……

Within the Ghost Shrine.

The women looked up at the vibrating [Ghost Drum], and all exchanged bewildered glances.

who is it?

A group of people were all gathered around the war drum, playing a melody. They couldn't immediately determine who had struck the "ghost drum."

Zheng!

A card, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, with a dazzling flash of light, flew straight towards a girl.

Meizhu Lan's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had captured the most precious treasure in the world. She subconsciously reached out her hands, trying to hold the Joker card tightly.

call out!

The Joker, however, was like a cunning sprite, cleverly slipping through her fingers and continuing its flight.

It finally stopped in front of a girl behind it.

"Ahhhh!"

Rikka Asahi gasped as she took off her glasses, her hands flailing wildly, her face filled with resistance and unease. "Don't come any closer!"

Image: "Rikka in shock", Location: "Images/1734086191-100420133-112444380.jpg"

The Joker seemed not to understand her plea; it vanished in a flash and disappeared into her body.

Rumble!

Lightning, like a wild horse unleashed, galloped and roared, scattering wildly throughout the shrine.

First, it condensed into swirling sprays of water, then transformed into dazzling silver trees, standing tall between heaven and earth, radiating brilliant light.

Within the barrier of lightning, the skin transformed into armor.

The blue ghost stood on the ground, lightning crackling around her.

"..."

Asahi Rikka looked at her arm with a puzzled expression.

"Amazing!"

Kasumi Toyama lunged forward and grabbed Rikka Asahi, who had turned into a demon. "Rikka, you're amazing! How did you do that?"

"No, I..." Asahi Rikka was in a state of confusion, completely bewildered by the situation.

Finally, she managed to utter a sentence.

Can I turn back to normal?

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Kairin looked at the inscription on the war drum and said, "It seems that as long as I concentrate and think about undoing the demon transformation, I can return to normal."

"Really?"

Asahi Rikka immediately turned her head excitedly.

Asuka Toyama also lowered her head to confirm the inscription on the stone slab. "It should be real. Junior Naruhiro wouldn't lie to me."

Asahi Rikka took a deep breath, concentrated her mind, and instantly her divine blood flowed with incantation power, driving the ghost card in her dantian.

A powerful wave swept outwards.

"Wow, what a powerful fluctuation."

"This feeling……"

A group of girls made sounds like that.

Finally, the lightning barrier disappeared, and Asahi Rikka's body, which had been transformed into a weapon, immediately returned to its original state.

Asahi Rikka rubbed her eyes, looking around at everything in a daze.

As she slowly raised her hands, the sensation from her fingertips filled her with joy.

That familiar human hand has returned intact.

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips as she murmured softly, "Great, it's finally back to normal."

However, just as joy welled up in her heart, she suddenly noticed that the expressions of the people around her were unusually frozen, like stone statues forgotten by time, with all their eyes focused on her.

The scene was eerie and unsettling.

What are you all looking at?

Asahi Rikka was filled with doubt and unconsciously lowered her gaze, trying to find the answer within herself.

When her gaze fell upon her chest, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her expression changed drastically.

Her once neat clothes had been completely destroyed by the lightning barrier, and from her angle, one could even see crimson genitals and pale blue...

"Ahhh!!"

This discovery struck like a bolt from the blue, causing Asahi Rikka's heart to tremble and an involuntary sob to escape her throat.

Instantly, a shy blush crept up her cheeks and spread to her ears, as if she were enveloped in flames, and even the air seemed to be filled with wisps of "steam".

The surroundings were so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Only the rapid breathing and increasingly quickened heartbeat of Asahi Rokka echoed in the silent space.

Fortunately, everyone here is a girl.

Asahi Rikka bit her lower lip tightly, trying to use this restraint to cover up her inner panic and embarrassment, while telling herself that they sometimes bathed together so it was nothing.

call--

A gust of wind blew, ruffling the girl's hair.

Mingxian instantly teleported in front of Asahi Rikka, then paused for a moment before lowering her head, then raising it again, and asking in a puzzled voice, "Is this some kind of new rock performance style?"

"Woo..."

Asahi Rikka's face turned as red as an apple, and her fair skin was instantly covered with a blush.

"Ahhhh!"

The screams echoed throughout the entire ghost shrine.

The girls then came to their senses and rushed forward to protect Asahi Rikka, while pulling Naruzuru aside.

After a while, things finally calmed down.

Asahi Rikka also changed into the shrine maiden's outfit and was pushed over by the crowd. As soon as she saw Narugen, she blushed and tried to run away.

"We can't just run away like this."

Kasumi Toyama pushed Rikka Asahi's back and pushed her back.

"that……"

Asahi Rikka was momentarily speechless.

Mingxian pointed to the temple inside the Ghost Society and said, "That's where you return the Ghost Card. As long as you go in, soak your body in the spring water, and pray silently, you can return the Ghost Card and become human again."
