Xingtie: Can’t you just let me focus on completing the commissions?

For example, if a world-destroying demon king actually appeared in some world, Emiya Tensou would simply use his divine intervention to smash the demon king's head flat with a single punch.

If we let those native kings publicize his great deeds, wouldn't that be a great way to harvest emotional points?

"...However, most maps like those featuring demon kings and heroes are set in the Middle Ages, and the entire map doesn't even have a few hundred million people. Maps like the Immortal Ship, with hundreds of billions of people, can only be found in the vast universe... But every little bit helps, and we shouldn't miss any opportunities like this in the future." (Eight)

Chapter 201: Stop playing with your broken Judah launcher, try the brand new version.

After the situation in Sky Dome City basically stabilized

Fu Hua's work has also entered a relatively stable phase.

Mr. Emiya can now temporarily take a break from work to handle some more important matters.

"Sword forging? What do you want with me for sword forging?"

Theresa looked at Mr. Emiya with some confusion, then spoke.

"Although I am an S-class Valkyrie, I am a combatant and I am really not good at technical things."

“It’s alright. I’m not looking for you for yourself, but for your Judas.”

"...What do you mean? You're not planning to tear my Judas apart, are you?!"

The little boy's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Wei Gong.

“It’s fine if I dismantle it and rebuild a new one for you. I just need the ‘120’ constraint core inside.”

Mr. Emiya stroked his chin and smiled.

"Moreover, the sword I just made can also be given to you to use. That thing is no worse than the oath of Judah. ​​You don't want to be a Judah launcher for the rest of your life, do you, Theresa?"

"A Judah launcher?! You really dare to say that!"

After receiving Thomas's complete set of techniques, Mr. Emiya did not have the opportunity to practice them during this period, but in theory he already knew how to forge and obtain the "book" and the "sword".

"Books" require recognition. If a book already has a wide influence, it can be directly included as a "storybook". For content that has not been written into a book, you only need to find a "carrier" that records its content to extract the information from the carrier and create a new "book".

A mere "book" is not something that possesses much power.

However, when combined with a "sword," it can reveal "a corner of the story," namely "fantasy power," the "record" of the world.

As a physical object, the forging of a sword must be able to read the contents of a "book," and the closer the attributes are to the book, the stronger the "fantasy power" it can display.

So, what would be the most suitable content for a "fantasy storybook" in the world of Honkai Impact?

Without a doubt, it's the word "collapse" written in the title.

Therefore, Mr. Emiya felt that using the most fitting element to the core of Honkai to create the "sword" was the best approach.

The core of the law.

Currently, aside from the "Flame" and "Wind" which are not within the Herrscher's body, the vast majority of the Herrscher cores are internally embedded within the Divine Key. In addition to being used as materials for the "Sword," the Herrscher cores can also be used to create the contents of a "Book," achieving multiple benefits in one fell swoop. Isn't that wonderful?

Of the Divine Keys that Emiya can currently access, Feather Dust is still Fu Hua's home, and is highly bound to her, making it difficult to undo for the time being.

The Seven Thunders of Purification are in Raven's hands. This thing originally belonged to the World Serpent, but Raven is currently on a mission and it is inconvenient to confiscate her weapon.

The Judgment of Heavenly Fire is still in Siegfried's hands, but he and Ryoma are currently receiving treatment at Anti-Entropy's base. This is actually the most suitable Divine Key to be directly crafted into a "sword," because Kevin once used it to create many myths and legends that have continued to this day, such as the holy sword that guards the Garden of Eden and the heavenly fire that burned Sodom. These are all circulating in the religious stories of modern civilization. In the Type-Moon world, it is a rare object that can be used as a Noble Phantasm when picked up and as a Holy Relic when put down.

The remaining items, such as the Void Treasury, the Black Abyss White Flower, and the Xuanyuan Sword, are basically all with Destiny.

"Speaking of which, you should have Jizo's Soul by now, Theresa. You didn't hand it over to Schicksal, did you?"

Emiya thought of the last Divine Key and looked at Theresa. The Jizo Mitama was severely fragmented. Originally, Sakura Samsara was intended to be integrated into the main story, but due to retconning, it was almost completely cut off from the main plot. The Jizo Mitama is said to have ended up at St. Freya Academy, but its final whereabouts are not mentioned in the main story.

"No, that sword... I would never give it to my grandfather under any circumstances."

After all, even without the Jizo-myoji, the old man was already manipulating people's hearts so maliciously.

If she really obtained the Jizo-sama, she couldn't imagine what other evil deeds her grandfather would commit.

"Then instead of using your Judah, let me use the Jizo-Mitama?"

“I’ve hidden it in a secluded place in the Far East… Never mind, if you really want Judah, I’ll give it to you.”

Theresa sighed softly. Half of her S-rank Valkyrie title was directly related to the Oath of Judah. ​​Without it, she feared she might lose her S-rank title.

but,

At this point, even if she possessed the Key of God, it seemed to hold little meaning. There were countless people stronger than her in Sky City now. It would be better to abandon Judah and take a gamble, exchanging it for something else that could make her even stronger...

"Don't worry, I won't take your Judah for nothing. You'll eventually have a chance to use it."

After obtaining the Oath of Judah from Theresa, Mr. Emiya immediately went into his laboratory, disassembled the Divine Key, made a replica of Judah and threw it aside. After extracting the "Herrscher of Binding Core", Emiya began to select suitable auxiliary materials according to the forging philosophy of Senji Muramasa and the forging logic of the Holy Sword.

After tinkering in the laboratory for almost a week, Mr. Emiya finally completed the initial draft of the "Binding Sword." He then spent another day forging it completely before inserting the "Binding Herrscher Core" into the blade.

Only after the Herrscher core was fully implanted was the "Binding Holy Sword" truly forged. Emiya looked at this first weapon he had forged himself and felt a little expectant.

"The 'Binding Holy Sword' is ready; next... we must create a 'Fantasy Book' that matches its capabilities."

His gaze lingered briefly on the Oath of Judah before he began extracting its "records." After several tens of minutes, a pure white card, 0.8 in size, landed in Emiya's hand.

"Storybook: The Oath of Judah"

Forged from the last wishes of countless victims, the "Iron Hammer" wielded in obedience to the belief of vanquishing the Honkai is a testament to the millennia of blood and tears shed by apostles who have wielded divine power to continuously fight against the natural calamity of "Honkai".

"Storybooks, biology books, mythical beast books... these three sets are a bit too restrictive. They can only complement each other. There's no need to insist on these three types."

"However, we should still be able to find some in this world. The derivative Honkai Beasts of the Herrscher of Binding should be considered as divine beast books, but as for biological books... we'll have to look for more suitable ones."

"Yes, but those are all quite far away. Now we have a book and a holy sword; we need to find someone to test their effectiveness as soon as possible."

Chapter 202: What Valkyrie dares to defy me with a punch that has the force of 15.5 tons?

"The 'Binding Sword of Divine Grace' is a holy sword created after the oath of Judah was broken."

"When paired with this 'Oath of Judah' storybook, the original Divine Key's performance should be fully inherited. If you also acquire a Biology Book, a Divine Beast Book, or other hybrid books, your overall performance will be further enhanced based on the sword's abilities."

After handing the Sword of Restraint to Theresa and forging it, Emiya could freely copy and paste it. However, the Holy Sword's performance on its own was only so-so; it was only truly useful when accompanied by a storybook.

Currently, there's only one storybook. The Sword of Restraint isn't very useful to Emiya, so giving it to Theresa is a way of settling the favor he owed Judas.

"This thing really inherited Judas's abilities?"

Theresa looked at the ornately designed holy sword and the strange white card with a somewhat ambiguous expression. She couldn't detect any Honkai energy fluctuations from these two items; they seemed more like two ornately designed toys.

"You'll know after you try it."

"Okay, how do I use it?"

"Place the book, that card, into the sword's slot to read it, and you'll reach level 25."

Following Emiya's instructions, Theresa placed the storybook into the Binding Sword. Instantly, the lyrics from the storybook emanated from within the sword.

"The 'Oath of Judah,' an artifact forged from the last wishes of countless sacrifices, a 'hammer' wielded in obedience to the belief of vanquishing the Honkai, is the blood and tears of a thousand years of continuous struggle by apostles wielding divine power against the natural calamity of 'Honkai.'"

Sensing a power coursing through the sword towards her, Theresa's eyes widened, and she instinctively cried out.

"Henxin—!"

The moment the words left her lips, a pure white swordsman's outfit began to form on her body. The power of imaginary numbers surged into her knight armor through the core of the Herrscher of Binding. The instant the armor was completed, Theresa naturally knew how to use the abilities of the book and the sword.

"Respond to me, the covenant of Judah."

The sword of restraint began reading the contents of the storybook. Soon, something resembling a cross appeared behind Theresa. She turned her head and glanced at her old friend, whom she had lost and found again, and immediately felt a slight sense of relief.

With this old friend, even though she hasn't learned any swordsmanship yet, she can still fight based on her past experience.

"How does it feel?"

Emiya looked at the Kamen Rider he had created with his own hands, his face beaming with smiles.

"I feel good now."

Beneath the visor, Theresa's excited voice rang out. This seemingly flimsy swordsman's outfit was in no way inferior to the Godslayer Armor in terms of performance. The Blood Knight Moonbeam, which she had once worn, was one of the Godslayer Armors.

"Okay, let's test the overall performance next."

Following the procedure, after testing performance metrics such as jumping ability, punching power, kicking power, and defensive capabilities, Emiya nodded in satisfaction.

"Punching power 15.5 tons, kicking power 35 tons, jumping power 49 meters, speed 53 meters per second."

"Based on your current stats, you can basically handle a typical Temple-level Honkai Beast like a toy, and the Honkai Emperor is about the same..."

"...15.5 tons of punching power?"

Theresa stared at the data in disbelief. The actual physical capabilities of the Valkyries were quite average. No matter how hard they tried, the average Valkyrie could only lift 200-300 kilograms. She, on the other hand, had once been able to easily wield the 300-kilogram Judas and was known as the Sister of Superhuman Strength in Destiny. And now…

In this armored form, she can easily generate a fist weighing 15.5 tons. It's estimated that even the previous Blood Knight: Moonbeam armor couldn't raise her base strength to this level.

the most important is,

Valkyries must prioritize equipping themselves with Stigmata, as Stigmata are a prerequisite for using "Honkai Energy." However, the artificial Stigmata of the present era are extremely corrosive to the human body, making every battle a death sentence. But now...

This sword acts like a filter, keeping Honkai energy at bay and eliminating the need for the body to serve as a container for it.

Previously, fighting Honkai Beasts essentially involved using one's body as a container to absorb Honkai energy and then injecting it into Honkai weapons. The Valkyrie's most basic individual weapon had destructive power comparable to tungsten alloy armor-piercing rounds, not to mention greatswords like the Fusion Core, which were basically fighting while carrying a small nuclear reactor. To put it bluntly...

In battle, the Valkyries are really just operators. If you have to describe them, they are similar to mages in the traditional sense. They have the destructive power of a mage, but their bodies are still just as fragile as a mage's. The difference in the strength of the Valkyries lies only in the difference in equipment and combat experience. The difference in their physical bodies lies in their "Honkai energy adaptability".

The equipment that Emiya gave her now doesn't test Honkai energy adaptability; instead, it's powered by Herrscher-level Honkai energy and won't cause Honkai energy to erode her body.

If this weapon were to become widespread, the Valkyries could chase after the Herrschers and Honkai Beasts all over the world.

However, considering that the other party used a Herrscher core as a material for forging...

Production is not expected to be very high.

"The Sword of Restraint can read three fantasy books at a time. The remaining two are generally more suitable as 'Animal Encyclopedias' describing real-world creatures and 'Mythical Creatures' from fantasy. Perhaps we could find a Honkai Emperor or an Emperor-class Honkai Beast with attributes similar to Restraint, and then choose an excellent animal from nature to pair with it based on its subject."

"If you read all three fantasy books at the same time, you will gain the special abilities of those creatures, such as the jumping ability of small insects, the dynamic vision of compound eyes of certain flying insects, the hunting ability of wild beasts in nature, and finally, the ability bonus of a mythical creature... In the 120 trinity form, I estimate that only Durandal in its prime could rival you in the entire Destiny."

Durandal at its peak?

Theresa raised her eyebrows slightly. Although she knew Durandal was excellent, she hadn't had much contact with her in the last two years. Now, judging from Emiya's tone, it seemed that Durandal was very strong in her prime?

"Was that kid very strong in his prime?"

"It's not a matter of whether she's strong or not. She's the type who's designed to get infinitely stronger as long as she trains, you know?"

"Most importantly, she is the ultimate embodiment of the bloodlines of the Kaslana and Schariac families, possessing the strongest abilities of both families by birth: the holy blood of the Schariacs, as well as the Kaslana family's super-strong Honkai adaptability and some of the strongest fusion warrior's capabilities passed down through generations."

"Bianca Atagina is just her name after she lost her memory. She fell from a spacecraft that year and was taken back to Schicksal headquarters by Ragnar for treatment. After waking up, she forgot her real name."

"Kiana Kaslana, she was originally Cecilia Shaniat's only daughter."

"The Kiana we know now is merely a girl given this name by Siegfried. In your grandfather's household, this girl was called K423. Long ago, she had another name: Sirin… She, like you, was born from Otto's laboratory… the only 'miracle.'"

[P.S.: There's one more chapter to make up for, I'll go out for a walk and come back to write it later.]

Chapter 203: Mei: I can't do anything!! (Addendum 1)

"Emiya-senpai, I am truly grateful to you for what happened with Himeko-sensei and Kiana. I have been looking for an opportunity to thank you. I wonder if you have a moment today?"

Before he could even head back into his office or lab after leaving the training grounds, Emiya was cornered at the door by Mei, who still possessed a demure and gentle personality.

At this time, Mei had not yet become the Herrscher of Thunder during the Sinner's Lament period; she had not yet begun riding dragons; and her slogan was not yet "Gale, submit to me..."

Well, at this point, at most, pots and pans will submit to me!

While the strong and assertive Mei is also very cool, this delicate and demure version of Mei is now extremely rare.

Needless to say, Kita-Shinobi Mei is another story. Izumi-chan, on the other hand, wielded a sword that cleaved through Takamagahara and Izumo Province. Where is the spoiled air of a young lady now?

If I had to say, only Raiden, who hasn't been resurrected yet, truly has a similar personality.

A classic Yamato Nadeshiko (ideal Japanese woman).

She exudes the charm of a virtuous and domestic wife. Unlike mature, alluring, and intellectual beauties, this kind of beautiful young woman, still retaining a touch of childlike innocence, is a rare find in the chaotic world.

Looking at this little girl with her bright, bright eyes and the same expression as Sakura, Mr. Emiya couldn't possibly refuse her, so he smiled.

"Will you treat me to dinner?"

"Well, it's nothing to brag about, but it's all I can do right now."
