Chapter 126: Cu Chulainn dies again

Since Fergus dares to challenge Lin Ye, he must be prepared to be beaten up.

In the Land of Shadows, Scáthach is also quite surprised.

She possesses Clairvoyance, so she naturally knows who Fergus is. Fergus is known as the greatest expert in Ulster, a man who can slay gods and Buddhas.

"Why would Lin Ye provoke him?" Scáthach doesn't understand.

Because of system protection, even Scáthach cannot see Lin Ye with Clairvoyance, so she naturally doesn't know what happened.

[You pick up the spear Lin Ye just crafted for you and prepare to go out to fight, but Lin Ye has already picked up his weapon and walked toward the opponent.]

[You stand on the wall of the Land of Shadows and see Lin Ye standing alone with a sword beneath the wall. Seeing Lin Ye appear, Fergus looks him over curiously and says, "You are Lin Ye? Come with me."]

"If you tell me to go with you, I go with you—wouldn't I lose a lot of face?"

Lin Ye says calmly. Both of them understand that neither is the type to back down, so...

Let the battle begin!

*Swish!*

Fergus charges directly at Lin Ye, brandishing his greatsword! Fergus’s greatsword smashes down toward Lin Ye’s head, but Lin Ye grips Excalibur tightly!]

Using Excalibur to fight Caladbolg—this is worthy of the prototype of Excalibur.

"Heaven and Earth Sky Great Whirlwind!"

Fergus swings his greatsword, and the rainbow-like spiral sword light pours down toward Lin Ye!

Facing such sword light, Lin Ye also raises Excalibur!

"Noble Phantasm release! Excalibur!"

*BOOM!*

The golden sword light and the terrifying storm collide in mid-air. The aftermath splashes and ravages outside the city, and countless undead are blown left and right. Standing on the city wall, Scáthach silently retracts her spear.]

"The outcome is decided."

A++ Anti-Army vs. A+++ Anti-Fortress—the gap needs no explanation!

*BOOM!*

The golden sword light directly suppresses the spiral sword wind; the terrifying storm is ultimately overwhelmed by the holy radiance.

"This... my sword..."

Fergus watches the sword light being destroyed and flying everywhere. He wants to regroup and fight Lin Ye again, but unfortunately, how could Lin Ye give him that chance?

With a flash, Lin Ye’s figure appears directly in front of Fergus. He looks at Fergus at close range and says, "Little Gang, do you dare to open your eyes?"]

Fergus...

"I have already opened my eyes as wide as I can!"

Fergus roars! You can defeat him, you can even kill him, but you cannot say his eyes are small!

"Is that so? Then I’ll let you see what big eyes are."]

Lin Ye says, widening his eyes! Mystic Eyes of Distortion! A+!

*HUM!*

Fergus feels his greatsword slip from his hand. Lin Ye flicks his finger, and the sword is driven directly into the wall of the Land of Shadows!]

"Since you came to challenge me, this sword stays here. I won't kill you, but when you go out, tell everyone you were defeated by me."]

After Lin Ye finishes speaking, he turns around and leaves gracefully.]

Killing is easy, but breaking a person’s spirit is hard. Lin Ye wants to solve these challengers once and for all. Now that even Fergus, known as the greatest, admits he is no match for Lin Ye, no one will come to cause trouble in the future.

Meanwhile, in Ulster, Fergus is looking blankly at this scene in his mind.

Good grief, he’s been looked down upon? And his Caladbolg has been kept! What should he do?

"Sneak onto the wall at night and steal it back? No, not to mention whether I can steal it back, they spared my life and I treat them like this—am I even human? But... I can't do without the sword."]

Fergus thinks, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration hits him. Right, he definitely can't beat Lin Ye, but he can cultivate someone who can!

When that time comes, he will take the sword back fair and square!!!

Thus...

Fergus also begins his own simulation.

[Second year, May: You return from the Land of Shadows in disgrace. Your friends ask what happened, and you tell them the truth. For a time, everyone reveres this Lin Ye as a god!]

[Although occasionally some who don't fear death go to the Land of Shadows, they die on the road before they can even find the gate.]

[June 6th, Second year: Having lost Caladbolg, you return to Ulster. As soon as you return, you hear that Conchobar’s sister, Deichtine, has become pregnant without being married?]

[You are shocked and go to the palace.]

[Thus, you learn the whole story.]

[Once, Conchobar’s sister had a foster child, but the child died, and she was very sad.]

[Then she drank a bottle of water at night, and the next day, she was pregnant.]

Fergus...

God, she got pregnant from drinking a bottle of water? Do you think I don't know how children are made?

"This is just ridiculous!"

Fergus continues to watch.

[June 7th, Second year: Deichtine finds you. She knows you are knowledgeable, so she says, "Yesterday I had a dream. In the dream, Lugh, the god of light and the sun, found me and told me that the fetus in my womb is my foster child who died. He asked if I wanted this child, and I chose to refuse."]

[As soon as she finished speaking, Deichtine began to vomit frantically, and then, she actually vomited out an infant!]

[You immediately saw the infant’s great potential, but unfortunately, the infant was already dead. Looking at the dead infant, you said painfully, "I could have cultivated him into the strongest warrior in Ulster, but unfortunately..."]

[Hearing your words, Deichtine was also very regretful. She thought of how this child was once her cute foster child, so she suddenly knelt to the sun again, praying for Lugh to give her another chance. Thus...]

[June 8th, Second year: Deichtine is pregnant again...]

[April 17th, Third year: Deichtine finally successfully gives birth to this child, and you happily take him as your foster son and name him:]

[Setanta!]

This Setanta is the later Cu Chulainn... so, Cu Chulainn, you died twice before you were even born! Should I say, "As expected of the doggy"?
