Honkai Impact, I'm not a Ditto!

"You rude person, who are you calling little brat? I'm probably older than your ancestors for eighteen generations combined."

"Oh? Really? But my age might be longer than your ancestors for 180 generations combined, you know?"

Alicia spoke with a smile.

Hei Xuanyuan frowned slightly. Like Ji Xuanyuan, she wasn't good at verbal sparring, so she asked for help, saying, "Yu Nai, this person's words are just as infuriating as yours. Come and help me scold her."

Sikong, whose combined lifespan is less than a hundred years, has no desire to speak.

Ji Xuanyuan took the opportunity to restrain the restless Hei Xuanyuan.

Alicia seemed to have seen enough.

"Alright, enough joking around, let's get down to business."

Sikong thought to himself, "That's what you said just now... but in the end you still gave me a long, rambling explanation."

"Although Gray Serpent only mentioned you, you now have two more companions, so the difficulty of the trial will increase accordingly. Let me see... the difficulty will increase by about four times."

"The difficulty has increased fourfold?"

Yuno's clone's lips twitched slightly. She, an A-rank, was leading two B-ranks to deal with the Paradise of the Past, which was four times more difficult.

It doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it.

"Alicia, isn't this too difficult?"

"No, it's just normal difficulty." The pink fat woman didn't give Yuno's clone a chance to continue speaking. "Then... Yuno, please proceed towards the portal ahead."

"After you defeat the enemy on the other side, I will provide you with my exclusive imprint, okay?"

After Alicia finished speaking, she stopped talking.

In this space, there was only a purple portal that suddenly appeared, with a mysterious pattern on it. Sikong knew that this was Yingjie's mark.

"Yuno, what do we do now?"

Ji Xuanyuan looked at Yuno's clone.

Hei Xuanyuan examined the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, his thoughts unknown.

Yuno's clone glanced at the two of them.

"Go in. I came here specifically to leave an imprint. If I can leave an imprint for you as well, it will be faster than cultivating the Tai Xu True Technique."

"Imprint? What is that? It seems I really can't get too caught up in cultivation anymore, or I'll miss out on a lot of things."

Hei Xuanyuan thought to himself.

no way......

Yuno's clones used to always sleep and rest, and couldn't do anything all day. Hei Xuanyuan and Ji Xuanyuan stared at her, but it was of no use.

During this time, Hei Xuanyuan and Ji Xuanyuan became engrossed in cultivation.

Entering a state of seclusion.

Yuno's clones secretly did many things behind their backs.

It's impossible to guard against.

"Ok."

Hei Xuanyuan and Ji Xuanyuan nodded in agreement.

So the three of them passed through the portal and arrived at another place with a similar landscape to the one they had just seen.

"Have we already left? It feels like we're still standing in the same place..."

Hei Xuanyuan surveyed the surrounding scenery and finally came to this conclusion.

Yuno's clone glanced at it as well and said, "No... there are still some differences."

Just as the two were chatting, Ji Xuanyuan noticed that enemies had appeared in this space. The newcomers were assassins and various tactical mechs that he had seen in the Nine Netherworld before.

The enemies that appeared together totaled five: three assassins and two tactical mechs.

"Watch out, everyone! The enemy is coming!"

Ji Xuanyuan assumed a fighting stance, and Yuno's clone casually handed the God-Slaying Whip to him, saying, "You keep this; I don't need it."

The power of the Xuanyuan Sword is firmly in the hands of Black Xuanyuan.

About that weapon.

Hei Xuanyuan will not be handed over to anyone, not even Ji Xuanyuan.

The moment she saw the enemy, Hei Xuanyuan charged forward with the Xuanyuan Sword in hand. Her petite figure carrying the golden greatsword that seemed completely out of place looked somewhat incongruous, yet there was also a touch of beauty in it.

Ji Xuanyuan did not hesitate and took the God-Slaying Whip from Yuno's clone.

As long as Yuno's clone doesn't intervene to compete.

Ji Xuanyuan can perfectly wield the power of the God-Slaying Whip.

"Boom!"

Just as Yuno's clone and Ji Xuanyuan were exchanging weapons, Hei Xuanyuan had already started fighting the enemy. Having not fought for a long time, her whole body looked like it was about to rust.

It feels great to exercise right now.

Unfortunately, the enemy's strength was unexpectedly high.

Any enemy, no matter who.

She could fight Hei Xuanyuan to a standstill, and it must have taken her considerable effort to kill a single guard. For someone with B-level strength, this was unimaginable.

Logically speaking...

Even when surrounded, a B-rank Valkyrie can deal with high-level assassins like the Guardian Assassins quite quickly.

I won't say it's a one-hit kill.

Within a few moves, one can still defeat the enemy.

But now even Hei Xuanyuan is finding it difficult, which shows how tough the monsters here are after the difficulty has increased fourfold.

If it weren't for Hei Xuanyuan's rich combat experience and her strength reaching the elite level among B-rank Valkyries...

An ordinary B-rank Valkyrie charged into the monster horde.

He'll probably be beaten out in no time.

Faced with this situation, Ji Xuanyuan could not stand idly by. She nodded to Yuno's clone while holding the God-Slaying Whip, and then rushed up to fight alongside Hei Xuanyuan.

With the combined efforts of these two, the situation stabilized.

Sikong felt that there was no need for Yuno's clones to make a move.

"The difficulty has increased fourfold. The two elite B-rank Valkyries working together should be able to hold them off... But this is only the first stage... If I remember correctly, there are quite a few stages in each trial in Paradise of the Past."

Just thinking about this gave Sikong a headache; the first hurdle was already this difficult.

What should we do for the next level...?

He let out a soft sigh.

To help Ji Xuanyuan and Hei Xuanyuan, Yuno's clone also began to exert its power, with the simulated core within its body operating at full speed, and countless vines rising from all directions.

Below the square platform, there seemed to be a dozen tentacle monsters waving their tentacles.

Under Sikong's control.

The green vines launched a massive attack on the enemy.

A single vine doesn't do much damage, but when they accumulate, their power is quite considerable.

As soon as Yuno's clone made its move, half of the enemies were instantly wiped out.

Chapter 218 Blessing Set

The two remaining enemies, having lost the assistance of their comrades, were quickly defeated by Ji Xuanyuan and Hei Xuanyuan.

"Not bad, keep up the good work." Alicia's voice rang out beside the three of them. "But before that, you have to choose the reward after passing this level, which is the imprint of the Thirteen Heroes."

"The mark of this level belongs to me, Alicia."

"I will give each of you three choices, and you will have to choose one of them."

"If there are no questions, please make your choices quickly."

As soon as Alicia finished speaking, she appeared. With a gentle wave of her hand, she created a projection screen in front of Yuno's clone, Ji Xuanyuan, and Hei Xuanyuan, with three engravings hanging on it.

What Yuno's clone sees before her is...

【Pure Blessing+】: Increases the duration of the ultimate skill.

【Supreme Blessing+】: When using a special attack, each attack deals additional damage.

【Beloved Blessing+】: Restores additional energy with each attack.

Unlike the exclusive imprints in the game, which can be rotated, have extremely detailed descriptions, and can only be used by one person, there is no such rule in the real Paradise of the Past.

Each person who clears the level will receive an imprint bestowed by the Thirteen Heroes.

In the records of the World Serpent, Alicia's Crest is the most unique, because she has the fewest Crests, only ten in total.

Because each engraving has the word "blessing" after its name, Alicia's engravings are also called the Blessing Set.

Once implanted into the body, the imprint can take effect within this data space. However, taking it out is extremely difficult and can only be done after countless imprint implantations.

Only then can some of the effects of these imprints be retained in the body.

It is precisely because the power of various imprints remains in the body that the Paradise of the Past is able to activate the human's Holy Marks, or to deeply explore the Holy Marks' abilities, ultimately awakening them into Fusion Warriors.

Sikong glanced at it, and without thinking, directly controlled Yuno's clone to select [Pure Blessing+].

After accepting the engraving.

Yuno's clone emitted a burst of white light, like an upgrade effect in a game, but Sikong did not perceive any difference between the current Yuno clone and the previous one.

"Wait... do I have a special move?"

Yuno's clone was stunned.

Sikong's true form now possesses a finishing move: a black greatsword version of Gate of Babylon, boasting an enormous attack range, powerful fusion of dual Herrscher powers, and exceptional endurance, which even put Durandal under some pressure.
