Chapter 28: The Impossible Wish
Here, some might ask, why did Lan Xingyu cosplay as Wang Dadong this time? Mainly because I wanted to cook Panda. I don't know if Panda felt like it could do it again this afternoon, but while Lan Xingyu was eating, it destroyed another keyboard and mouse set...
Well, even though I can't really cook it now, there's nothing wrong with grabbing a frying pan and hitting it for a bit, right? I don't know why, but it seems like every time I trick Tony, I get dragged into it myself. Is the will of this Universe targeting me?
Shaking those wild thoughts from his mind, Lan Xingyu calmed down and used the "Search" magic he hadn't used in a long time.
"Search" Dragon bones. An invisible ripple spread out, and Lan Xingyu found the target in Hell's Kitchen.
Immediately after, Lan Xingyu used "Search" again, this time targeting The Hand. Indeed, the people from The Hand had already gathered near the dragon bones, and it seemed like someone was fighting them.
Lan Xingyu's mind stirred, and he used "Search" once more for The Chaste. Sure enough, the ones fighting The Hand were The Chaste, founded by Daredevil's master, Stick. However, they were being suppressed by The Hand. Although Daredevil and his master were there, the five fingers of The Hand were absent, yet Daredevil's side was still at a disadvantage; after all, The Hand had too great a numerical advantage.
However, this advantage vanished in the next instant. A Golden Flash darted through the crowd, and people only heard "clang, clang, clang" (the sound of a frying pan hitting heads).
"Today, I, Lan Xingyu, am going to use a frying pan to achieve the ultimate chicken dinner!" Lan Xingyu thought happily. (A fully geared hero is cutting down minions there, and you call that 'ultimate'? Your teammates would cry, you know.)
Having instantly dealt with The Hand, Lan Xingyu, basking in the joy of his successful "chicken dinner," appeared before Daredevil, leaning against a pillar to pose. Since the opening was so cool, his entrance Aura certainly couldn't be weak.
Seeing the still-bewildered Daredevil, Lan Xingyu took the initiative to greet him: "Hi, we meet again! Can you tell me what's going on this time?" Of course, Lan Xingyu had modified his voice.
"Come inside with me! We'll talk as we walk." Daredevil knew it was Lan Xingyu; after all, the skill whose name he still hadn't memorized was too recognizable. However, Daredevil helped Lan Xingyu hide his identity.
His master, Stick, glanced strangely at this disciple who hated him very much, but said nothing and followed them inside.
"We received news that the five fingers of The Hand have reached a devilish agreement with the Beast. They want to use the dragon bones under this building as Materials to create a Holy Grail that can realize any wish by absorbing the evil of the people in this world!"
Lan Xingyu was shocked; he didn't see them summoning any Heroic Spirits! How did it start becoming a Holy Grail War? Wait, Daredevil, you don't have three Command Spells on your hand, do you...
Seeing Lan Xingyu staring curiously at his hand, Daredevil was confused again. I'm explaining the main plot here, why are you staring at my hand? Forget it, Daredevil didn't want to care anymore; he could see that this kid's thought process was problematic, the kind that couldn't be saved.
So he continued: "Theoretically, as long as there is evil in the world, this Holy Grail will have infinite power. The only flaw is that one wish must be completed before the next can be made, but I don't think that's any different from having no flaws." Daredevil sighed.
"That's not the most terrifying part. If it is completed, it can also repair itself by relying on human evil. Even if you destroy it in a realistic sense, it can still repair itself through people's evil. So we absolutely cannot let them finish it!" As they finished speaking, they reached a large door. As soon as they opened it, they heard: "Hahahaha, the creation is complete!"
Daredevil "..."
Stick "..."
And a strange light appeared in Lan Xingyu's eyes. How should I put it? My wish can be realized too!
"Hahahaha, you're too late. We succeeded, hahahaha." At this moment, the five fingers of The Hand no longer had human outlines. Their bodies were pitch black.
"In five minutes, this world will belong to the Beast, hahahahaha." These five people spoke and laughed at the same time. It was eerie.
"Five minutes, that's enough to kill you. Mirror Dimension!"
Lan Xingyu waved his hand, and the objects in the room began to rotate and tumble. At this moment, Stick, who had connections with K'un-Lun, was surprised. He bowed to Lan Xingyu.
"So it is a mage from the Sanctuary, Your Excellency. Forgive my ignorance. Daredevil, let's fall back. This battle is no longer something we can participate in."
Matt looked at his master in surprise, then at Lan Xingyu. After a moment of silence, he followed his master to the side.
"I know you have many questions to ask. If we can get out alive, I will tell you everything." Stick said to the questioning Matt.
"So it is a mage from the Sanctuary! I didn't expect that even with my concealment, I was still discovered by you. But it's too late now." After speaking, the five fingers actually merged together! And then...
Damn, you still say you aren't playing Holy Grail! This black armor, the V-shaped red light from the knight helmet's eye position, and that ability to turn an iron rod into a weapon. You just told me you aren't Berserker Lancelot!
That man who possessed the Noble Phantasm 'Knight of Owner' and wanted to be killed by his King. Is there something wrong with the way my Marvel is opened...
But since you are Lancelot, then I, Artoria Lan, will end your pain on behalf of the King. Golden light attached itself to Lan Xingyu, transforming into a knight's armor—the same style as the King's. What, you say I'm wearing women's clothing? Don't you know? Men either wear military uniforms to protect their country, suits to strategize, or women's clothing to let themselves go. Understand?
Then, a light sword appeared in his hand, charging up. The "Lancelot" controlled by the Beast picked up the iron rod, which had been strengthened by black energy, and rushed towards Lan Xingyu.
Lan Xingyu turned into a stream of light and flashed in front of "Lancelot," trading a blow with him. This strike only pushed him back. This strike was Lan Xingyu's tribute to that anime he could no longer watch. Although he knew this black-armored man was just similar and not him, Lan Xingyu still exchanged a move with him, instead of killing him in one hit. But that was it.
"Excalibur!" Lan Xingyu swung a sword beam, directly obliterating "Lancelot" at the molecular level.
Dissipating the Mirror Dimension, Lan Xingyu came to the Holy Grail. Must say, this Holy Grail looked a lot like the one in the anime. Lan Xingyu thought about it and decided to tell his teacher, so he opened a Teleportation Gate and called the Ancient One over!
As soon as the Ancient One arrived, she was shocked. She could feel the evil of the people of the world gathering toward this golden goblet.
"What is going on with you? What is this?" The Ancient One asked.
"This and that, so and so." Lan Xingyu recounted the whole process.
Stick, standing to the side, was stunned. Because he had contact with K'un-Lun, he recognized the Sorcerer Supreme. He didn't expect that even this great god would come. He was sensible and knew that events involving the Sorcerer Supreme were not things they could participate in. So he took Matt and stood aside.
"This is troublesome. Even I have no way to destroy it! But it cannot be left here. Otherwise, if it's stolen, the situation will be serious." The Ancient One said with some hesitation.
"Why destroy it? I worked so hard to get it. I still want to rely on it to make a wish!" Lan Xingyu said.
Hearing this, the Ancient One said solemnly to Lan Xingyu: "You want to use it to make a wish? Teacher advises you to think carefully. Do you really have any wish you need it to fulfill?"
"No." Lan Xingyu really didn't have any wishes. He was satisfied with everything, having no desires: "I just want to play with it."
Seeing Lan Xingyu eager to speak, the Ancient One said first: "Xingyu, you must think carefully. It uses evil as energy, so the way it realizes wishes must also be evil. Plus, its characteristics make it easier to be taken and reused by others."
"Then I'll just make a wish that it can never complete, won't that work? It can also help absorb the world's evil. In this way, the source of power for those extra-dimensional demons will be reduced by a large chunk, right?" Lan Xingyu said.
"Fine, teacher believes in you. Go ahead!" The Ancient One didn't want to ruin his fun when she saw how excited Xingyu was! Anyway, there was the Time Stone.
"Hee hee, thank you, teacher. Watch me!"
Then, Lan Xingyu, under the gaze of the Ancient One, Stick, and Matt, came to the Holy Grail. The Ancient One and the others were ready for battle.
"Holy Grail, Holy Grail! Tell me! What does Pi equal?"
Ancient One "..."
Stick "..."
Matt "..."
Just as the three of them were mentally stuck, a voice that didn't sound like a man or a woman came from the Holy Grail: "3.1415926..."
The wish-making part today was written in imitation of a work by a great god named 0 Egg Fried Rice 0. My start in writing novels also had the influence of this great god. His work 'Forging the Naruto World.' I recommend everyone to go take a look. However, this great god hasn't updated since January 19th. I hope the great god is well! I also hope everyone takes care of their health. Let's stand our post together until the end. Go China! Go Wuhan!
