Is Zhongli without his signature weapon still called Zhongli?
Isn't that nonsense? Of course, he's still called Zhongli.
It's just that having the power of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis without the signature weapon does feel like something is missing.
Of course, Kaito quickly accepted it.
So what if he doesn't have it? Can't he just forge one himself anytime?
For example, Staff of Homa, Vortex Vanquisher, or that one polearm he's been pulling for years without getting?
At worst, its power won't be as good. Anyway, if it breaks, he can just create another one on the spot.
By the way, Vortex Vanquisher is Zhongli's signature weapon!!
Kaito firmly believe that looking good equals true graduation!
Strength is temporary, but being handsome is forever!
Only Vortex Vanquisher truly matches Zhongli, both in appearance and color scheme.
Oh right, when facing enemies in the future, should he just go for something like 'No Polearm Limit' or 'Ten Thousand Polearms Return to One'?
Thinking about it, it actually seems possible.
Including his Planet Befall, he can even fire it consecutively!
Note, consecutively!
Besides that, he could also do something like Chibaku Tensei.
Right now, Kaito hasn't just obtained all the abilities of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis; his body has also been transformed along with it. He's no longer an ordinary person.
So there's no need to worry about whether his body has enough energy or anything.
C6, in real-world performance, will definitely be more exaggerated.
His physical constitution has increased, his stamina has increased, and his energy will certainly increase as well.
Assuming a C0 character can only use one ultimate, a C6 character can use five in a row, and recover energy and stamina faster than a C0 afterwards.
That's the level of Kaito's current strength.
Gaining power so quickly and strongly left Kaito, who was just an ordinary person until last night, in a state of feeling completely unreal.
But he was still happy. After quickly washing up, he returned to the living room.
"Baal, long time no see, I missed you!"
"Hahaha!"
The happy Kaito sat at the dining table, and Baal had already prepared lunch.
"Master... you obtained Morax's ability?"
Baal ignored Kaito's leap of logic and inquired about his change.
As someone who had watched over him all night, she was very clear about the changes happening in Kaito's body.
From the change in his physical appearance to the appearance of energy unique to her world within his body, she knew that Kaito now possessed the power of Morax, whom she knew of.
"Yeah, yes, I drew it in the Gacha."
Kaito didn't hide it, but for Baal, the person involved, it was just obtaining an ability from a mysterious source.
"It's just a pity it's only the player version, not Morax's original ability."
If it were the original ability, his strength could surpass Baal's. As for Raiden Shogun, it's hard to say.
Maybe he'd be stronger than her, or maybe she'd still be stronger than Kaito.
Besides, the original Morax was the true Geo Archon Rex Lapis, also the Martial God who had been single for 6000 years.
And he could even create Azhdaha.
No, not exactly create him.
In the story of 'Creating the Dragon and Dotting the Eyes', Morax found a strange stone, carved it into a dragon, and finally gave it eyes, and the dragon came to life.
Weapons were also forged by him. With Kaito's current abilities, he simply couldn't do it; at best, he could make imitations.
Unless...
He drew an item from the chat group Gacha that could enhance the Geo Archon Rex Lapis's abilities, or simply drew the SS-rank power of Morax himself.
But then again...
Ding-dang...
A golden Mora coin fell onto the dining table.
Unlike the later Zhongli from the story, he has a Gnosis, so he can also create Mora.
With S-rank strength, he also has the ability to destroy a large city.
And he has inherited all the combat abilities and martial arts of the Geo Archon Rex Lapis. Calling him a Martial God wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Omnia praesumantur."
"Fortis Fortitudo."
With a light flick of his right hand, he cast two shields [Jade Shield] on Baal in quick succession.
The lines could be others, or he could even use the ability without speaking the lines; saying them just adds a sense of ritual?
"???"
"Master, is there an enemy?"
Suddenly being shielded, Baal tilted her head with three question marks hovering above it and asked.
'I didn't sense any enemy. Why did the master suddenly put a shield on me?'
"No, I was just testing the ability."
"..."
After dismissing the Jade Shield, Kaito smiled and continued enjoying his lunch.
As for that Mora coin, he put it in his wallet. This way...
When he goes out, he'll be carrying money!
"Speaking of which, Master... what did you mean by 'player version' earlier?"
After tidying up the dishes and washing them, Baal as expected couldn't resist coming over to ask.
"You want to know?"
"Huh? Is there something I shouldn't know about this?"
"It's not that, it's just... saying it might shock you? Or make you uncomfortable."
Sitting on the sofa, just as he was scrolling through his phone for his daily Genshin routine, he paused. He was also thinking about whether to tell Baal about this.
"This... I... go ahead and say it. Whatever it is, I can accept."
A 'player version' of Morax's ability or something was too strange and novel for Baal.
If it were a weakened version of Morax's ability, she could accept that a bit more, but what did 'player version' mean?
"Alright... then I'll show you... If you really can't accept it, later I'll go with you to kill the game planners."
Baal took the phone. When she saw that the screen displayed a mobile game, and the character in the game was identical to her sister Beelzebul, her eyes widened and her pupils instantly contracted.
Clearly, this matter brought her tremendous shock.
As an archon, she wasn't stupid. After fiddling with the phone back and forth for a while, she also understood one thing.
Perhaps, because she had accepted modern knowledge, she quickly accepted this fact.
"Baal, are you okay?"
"I-it's okay. It's just that for a moment... I felt an indescribable discomfort."
Baal shook her head, then sat down beside Kaito and began to ask him about her sister's current story. When she learned of her sister's experiences and her subsequent pursuit of eternity...
She summoned her sister.
