Anime Crossover: Godly Talent Shocks All Realms

Medea was about to refute Chen Xuan's words when she heard them, but then she noticed that Chen Xuan seemed to be saying that he had deconstructed power.

"Master, what did you just say? You obtained your powers through deconstruction?"

Medea asked in a trembling voice.

"Yes, what's wrong? Is it difficult?"

Chen Xuan glanced at Medea and answered calmly.

"???"

Medea was completely stunned when she heard Chen Xuan's words.

"No, what do you mean by 'difficult'?"

"What do you mean by 'yes'?"

"That's the power held by gods!!!"

"That's something theoretically on par with magic!!!"

"How can you say that so casually?!"

Medea was screaming wildly inside.

"Well, that's about right. It barely achieves the effect I wanted."

Just as Medea's worldview was collapsing and she was in a daze, Chen Xuan's voice rang out again, pulling her back to reality.

"Master Chen Xuan, Master Chen Xuan, what a beautiful sword! What are its effects?"

Rin Tohsaka looked at the metal longsword in Chen Xuan's hand, which was now engraved with the inscription of truth and emitted a faint halo, and asked a question.

"The effect is still the same as before, it's a magic-specific attack, but with my improvements, this sword can now also deal damage to conceptual artifacts like Noble Phantasms."

As Chen Xuan spoke, she handed the longsword in her hand to Rin Tohsaka.

"Master Chen Xuan, you've succeeded! You've succeeded!"

Rin Tohsaka placed a gem that stored magical energy on the sword. The gem shattered instantly, but Rin showed no remorse; instead, her eyes were filled with excitement.

After all, according to Chen Xuan, as long as the magic resistance special attack in Medea's Noble Phantasm is perfected, Chen Xuan can sublimate it into a magic that can kill gods. How could she not be excited to witness the birth of such a world-shaking magic?

"It's too early to get excited about such minor changes; the real excitement is just beginning."

As Chen Xuan spoke, the perfected anti-magic special attack spell appeared in her hand. Then, as Chen Xuan continued to draw, the spell gradually became more complex and emitted waves of pressure like that of a god. When Chen Xuan completed the last stroke of the spell, the entire cave instantly burst into dazzling light, and a terrifying aura like that of a god descending to earth permeated the entire place.

"Master Chen Xuan, did you succeed?"

As the light faded, Rin Tohsaka asked excitedly.

"success?"

"That was just an inevitable result. Before my divine talent, even the power of the gods is nothing more than ordinary addition and subtraction."

"This is the same level of power as the gods, a magic that can truly kill the gods, no, the transcendental spell Ragnarok."

"Hahahaha!!!!"

Chen Xuan, displaying an expression akin to that of Tan Li Dou Shen, another possessor of divine talent, burst into unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

Chapter Sixty-One: Experimental Subjects Stripped of Divinity

"..."

【…】

Upon seeing Chen Xuan's theatrical expression, the people present and those in the chat group all wore expressions of frustration, as if they were struggling with an old-fashioned mobile phone.

Of course, we can't blame them for overreacting. After all, although Chen Xuan isn't exactly a good person, his looks really appeal to them. Even Medea and Artoria felt that Chen Xuan met their aesthetic standards. But it's really hard to handle when such a handsome guy suddenly makes such a dramatic face.

"Master, promise me you won't make that kind of expression on your great face."

Medea patted Chen Xuan on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Forehead……"

Looking at Medea's serious expression under her hood, Chen Xuan was at a loss for words.

"Master Chen Xuan, what are the effects of your upgraded technique?"

Seeing the silence fall over the room, Rin Tohsaka quickly started a conversation.

"Ahem, this technique is an upgraded version of my technique, which I created by incorporating other techniques in a way that utilizes my powers. In addition to its basic magic resistance, its main effects include not only stripping away the divine essence, but also the ability to seize and absorb the sealing power from the source of the divine essence."

Chen Xuan coughed lightly and began to speak.

"!!!"

Medea noticed the key point in Chen Xuan's words and then excitedly asked Chen Xuan a question.

"Master, are you saying that your technique can directly seize and absorb the power of gods for your own use?"

It's no wonder Medea was excited. After all, powers are usually tied to a god's divine status. Even if you defeat or kill a god and strip him of his powers through some special method, you only temporarily gain the right to use them. The true essence of the powers is still within the god's divine status. If you're not careful, the god can take them back with even better authority.

However, according to Chen Xuan, it is possible to seize power from the root of divinity. If it is truly possible to seize power from the root, then it means that once the power of a god is seized, the god will directly lose that part of the power and will not be able to take it back with better authority, because the link between divinity and power has been completely severed.

"Well, after all, power is one of the manifestations of the concept of divinity. If divinity can be stripped away, power can be stripped away in the same way. And it would be a pity to let power just dissipate along with those gods."

Chen Xuan nodded.

The reason he specifically created this technique was not only to truly kill the gods and monsters in the crossover anime world, but also to extract and seal their powers for research purposes.

After all, the most valuable thing about gods is their power. Power can be said to be the embodiment of the concepts contained in the god's divine personality, or it can be said to be the source of the god's power. Once it is taken away, the corresponding power will be lost.

Take Thor from Norse mythology, for example. The reason he can use lightning freely is that he has a thunder god aspect in his divine nature. The power of lightning is the manifestation of this thunder god aspect in his divine nature. If this aspect of the divine nature were taken away, Thor would directly lose the ability to control lightning.

“Master, it’s fortunate that you were born in the modern era when the age of gods has receded. If you had been born in the age of gods, the gods probably wouldn’t even be able to rest in peace.”

Medea shook her head and smiled bitterly.

As a powerful witch who was considered one of the top in the Age of Gods, she was now completely crushed by Chen Xuan, a modern magician, and a bitter sense of defeat rose in her heart.

"Well, now that the spell has been completed, let's move on to the practical exercise."

Chen Xuan glanced at the dejected Medea and spoke.

"Live-fire exercise?"

"Teacher Chen Xuan, are we going to find a single deity? But wasn't it said that all the gods disappeared after the Age of Gods retreated?"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, Sakura Tohsaka asked in confusion.

"Indeed, there are no gods to be found in modern times."

Chen Xuan nodded in agreement with Tohsaka Sakura's words, but then changed the subject and continued speaking.

"But coincidentally, during the last Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family illegally summoned a Servant who was given the title of a god. Although he could only be considered a false god, he was enough as an experimental subject."

"Servants who are given the title of gods?"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, everyone present was startled and then looked puzzled. After all, they all knew the rules and limitations of the Holy Grail War, and that gods could never be summoned as Servants' spirit origins, except for the singularities and Lostbelts in FGO.

"Ah."

Chen Xuan nodded and then looked at Artoria.

"Speaking of Saber, you only answered the summons for the Holy Grail, right?"

“That’s right, Master.”

Artoria nodded in agreement.

"Then I'm afraid your wish will be in vain."

Chen Xuan looked at Artoria and said...

"Master, why is that? Don't you want to participate in the Holy Grail War?"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan say that her wish had fallen through, Artoria immediately asked her for more details.

After all, in her opinion, Chen Xuan, who is her Master, is so strong that if she and Chen Xuan teamed up, they would be able to easily crush everyone in this Holy Grail War. However, Chen Xuan said that her wish was not fulfilled. Could it be that Chen Xuan was unwilling to participate in the Holy Grail War?

"It's not a question of whether or not to participate in the Holy Grail War."

Chen Xuan shook her head and then snapped her fingers, moving everyone present to the front of the Greater Grail. She pointed to the heavily contaminated Grail, which emanated an ominous and cursed aura.

"Instead, the Greater Grail, the core of the Holy Grail War, has been corrupted. Although it still retains its wish-granting function, it will grant the wisher's wish in the most distorted way."

"What a joke, this is the Holy Grail I've been seeking."

Artoria stared at the corrupted Holy Grail before her, her resolve shattered, and she staggered back a few steps, her eyes filled with a blank stare of shattered hope.

“Master, it seems you know why the Greater Grail was corrupted.”

Medea looked at Chen Xuan and asked.

"Pretty much. Just like I said, during the last Holy Grail War, the Einzbern family violated the rules by summoning a Servant of the Avenger class, who was given the name of a god. The true identity of that Servant was an unknown young man from the Zoroastrian Church, the earliest to promote the dualism of good and evil, who was forcibly given the name of the evil god Angra Mainyu by his followers and forced to bear all the evil of this world."

"Because Angra Mainyu's fighting strength was very weak, he was defeated at the very beginning of the last Holy Grail War. With Angra Mainyu's departure, his soul, which bore the name of an evil god and all the evil in this world, was also absorbed by the Greater Grail. The colorless power in the Greater Grail was thus corrupted and turned into this black mud."

Chen Xuan nodded and then began to explain.

"Then, Master, do you want to separate the divine essence of Angra Mainyu?"

After hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Medea understood Chen Xuan's intention.
