My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start Chapter 319 - Fusing With The Einherjar’s Body

Chapter 319: Fusing With The Einherjar’s Body

“These individuals have gathered to confront the underground city. Their strengths range from bronze and silver-tier warriors to gold and platinum-tier elites! I am curious as to how many of them there are. I think there are at least a million of them.”
Christina’s lips trembled as she stared at the numerous clones that occupied the entire stairway temple and were barely able to fit in the air.
She had underestimated the trial on the maze’s 100th floor. That was the true strength of the World Transformation Mirror. As a diamond-tier item, it had evolved in the underground city’s unique environment for hundreds of years. The energy it obtained had already far exceeded the range of a regular diamond-tier item.
“World Transformation Mirror, didn’t you say that you would let us go as long as I defeated my father’s clone? Are you planning to go back on your word?”
It was impossible to fight in such circumstances. Logic and passion may emotion might be their way out.
“Miss Christina, of course, I’m not that kind of person. But I said that I would let you go if you killed the Sword Saint’s clone. Did you do it? The clone defeated you, and Watson was the one who killed it. So, you didn’t complete the trial. Instead, you were the one who destroyed the sacred trial repeatedly. It wouldn’t be strange for me to punish you, right?”
Christina did not care about what the World Transformation Mirror had meant. She sighed and spread the light domain beneath her feet. A light weapon that was very similar to the Sky Severing Blade appeared in her hand.
“Watson, I’m sorry. It seems that it will be tough for us to walk out of here today. If I had known that the maze had developed self-awareness over the past few hundred years and that the trial would become like this, I wouldn’t have come in here. I even implicated my team members because of this. That is my negligence as a leader!”
At that point, Christina’s eyes dimmed, and she sounded as if she were ashamed. However, her expression quickly became firm. “Saying all that now is useless. If I have to die, then I choose to die standing. I will fight until my very last moment. Even if I were to die, I would have no regrets.”
“Lady Swordmistress is right. It’s better to fight those clones!”
A Holy Sword adventurer team member was running away when he heard Christina’s words. He gritted his teeth and turned around; his eyes burned with flames.
The clones had occupied the space, so where would they go if they were to run away? They might as well give it their all and sacrifice themselves heroically like warriors.
They no longer blame Watson for the situation that had developed. In any case, they would still be killed even if Watson did not anger the World Transformation Mirror. The only difference was whether one or many clones would kill them. At the very least, they would be able to die a quicker death.
“I’m also willing to fight to the death with you, Lady Swordmistress. Even if I were to die, I would have no regrets!”
“Fight! Fight! Fight!”
More Holy Sword adventurer team members had gathered and surrounded Christina. They used their swords to hit their shields to make a rumbling sound, and they used that sound to raise their courage.
“You still have the courage to resist. I have to give you credit for that. You are all courageous adventurers. Therefore, I will give you a dignified death.”
The World Transformation Mirror girl sat cross-legged in the sky and laughed softly. Then, she waved her hand, and the clones in the sky launched an attack simultaneously. Combat auras and magic flickered, and the sky lit up with millions of light spots in an instant. It was as if there were stars all over the sky. However, those lights were not only beautiful, but they also contained destructive killing intent.
Under the brilliance of millions of combat aura and magical light, the protective barrier created by the less than 200 Holy Sword adventurer team members was as insignificant as a firefly in comparison to the sun and moon in the sky. There was no correlation at all.
There was a proverb in the Holy Dragon Kingdom—more ants can kill an elephant. It was similar to the situation that Watson and the others were facing. Furthermore, they were not facing ants, but elephants of the same level as them.
“System fusion, activate.”
When everyone thought that they would melt in the light that filled the sky, Watson made his move.
Crack!
Crack!
Numerous cracking noises emanated from the sky. The gold-tier adventurer’s projection closest to him was the first to break, transforming into a ray of light. Then, when the other clones in his immediate vicinity became infected and shattered one by one, beams of light flew into the sky and gradually converged into a massive ball of light.
Initially, more than a million clones were floating in the sky. However, those clones and their attacks had vanished at that point. They converged into a human-shaped body radiating light in a matter of seconds.
Pieces of light in the shape of armor hovered on that body. There were countless arms made of light that was faintly discernible behind its shoulder. Around the arms were eyeballs that emitted light as they opened and closed.
[Congratulations, Master, on fusing a large number of clones. You have obtained a diamond-tier special item, the Einherjar’s body.]
[Diamond-tier special item: the Einherjar’s body.]
[Effect: this item is made of the memories from a large number of cultivators. It contains the abilities of more than a million cultivators. After absorbing this body, you can obtain all its skills in your memories.]
[Abilities: Omniscient Nature (can master various skills of various professions), Instant Learning (you can learn any skill at once), Thousand-armed Giant (can split into thousands of arms, each of which can deal platinum-tier damage), Hundred-eyed Giant (can generate hundreds of eyes, each of which can emit destructive platinum-tier magical light pillars).]
[Additional ability: 10,000 clones (can use energy to create your own clone, but the clone will only have half of your original abilities).]
[Master, would you like to merge with the Einherjar body now?]
“Of course.”
Watson answered without hesitation. In an instant, the glowing humanoid body floating in the sky fell and entered his body through his forehead. As the Einherjar body merged with his body, Watson felt a countless amount of knowledge that did not belong to him appear in his mind. That knowledge was the culmination of countless adventurers’ painstaking efforts over hundreds of years. However, at that moment, all of them had become part of his abilities.
The accumulation of hundreds of years on his body had caused Watson’s temperament to change in an instant.
At first, he resembled a reserved divine sword. He was harmless when unsheathed, but he had changed. Even if he concealed it deliberately, a terrible aura that had been tempered thousands of times continued to emanate from his body. It appeared as though he required only a glance to dissolve existences that had yet to reach gold-tier.
Watson felt as if he was only one step away from the diamond tier with the additional knowledge.
He had initially bridged only one-tenth of the distance between platinum and diamond-tier. It seemed like he had crossed the eight or nine-tenths mark. It was not only that, but his comprehension of fighting techniques and magic had improved significantly. Previously, as a fighter, his talents were barely at platinum-tier. He felt confident that he could defeat any of the kingdom’s grandmasters in both fist and sword methods.
In addition to the abilities of warriors and mages, he had also mastered the priests’ and archers’ skills. Those clones had even brought him many memories of potion-making, cooking, tailoring, and other aspects of life.
Watson had gained abilities from the four classes and also a variety of life skills. That was the strength of Einherjar’s body.
“All of you d*mned clones, die!”
While Watson was absorbing the knowledge gained from the Einherjar’s body, a Holy Sword adventurer team member was waving wildly in the sky with his eyes closed as if he could dispel the fear in his heart.
However, after waving for a while, he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment was too quiet. So, he opened his eyes. Then, he realized that all the clones that had filled the sky only a few seconds ago had disappeared. His companions stared at him as if they were looking at a fool.
“The clones have all been destroyed. Please open your eyes when you fight next time.”
Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard his companions sigh with a trembling sound. “He destroyed millions of clones in one strike. He’s not human!”
It seemed like the Holy Sword adventurer team had a misconception about Watson’s strength before that. Even after they learned that Watson was Antonio’s disciple, their confusion had persisted. Then, they discovered Watson could kill the Sword Saint clone in a single strike, and he had also slaughtered countless clones so carelessly. Only then did they understand why Antonio, who had been living in seclusion for years, would travel all the way to the border to recruit Watson.
If they were Antonio and knew that the youth had such a monstrous talent, they would have made the same choice as well.
Watson was not a human at all; he was a monster.
