Chapter 378: Delete

Every time she deletes one, she can "feel" the Rage and struggle coming from Huan Long's side intensifying, as if a reverse scale had been ripped out.

"Why do I have to click each buff myself when deleting them?! Can't this system interface handle smart batch processing? My fingertips are about to spark fire!"

She complained while daring not to pause at all, and swiftly opened another tab, which contained various malicious negative status icons:

【Magic Turmoil】, 【Mental Dispersal】, 【Body Rigidity】, 【Temporary Luck E-】, 【Noble Phantasm Seal (Temporary)】, 【All-Attribute Decay (Major)】…

"Come, come, here's a big gift package for you!"

Heimu almost sneered, dragging these negative status icons as if they were free, crazily copy‑pasting them onto Huan Long's status bar; watching row after row of newly added, red‑glowing debuffs, Heimu's heart finally felt a bit balanced.

【Invasion window remaining: 5 seconds.】

【Target core defense protocol activating…】

"Finally… let's look at your Heroic Spirit panel!"

Heimu quickly switched screens, saw Huan Long's stats, and Heimu's mouth twitched sharply.

Strength: A+

Durability: A+

Agility: A+

Magic: EX

Luck:?

Noble Phantasm:???

"All starting at A+, even Magic is EX? Even cheating has to follow basic rules! The panel I meticulously adjusted for Gui Naifen wasn't this exaggerated!"

She flicked her fingers to open edit mode, trying to pull all those A+ down. "Time's running out… first lock your most troublesome Strength and Magic, the rest… change everything to E! Noble Phantasm? Seal it temporarily for now!"

Just as she removed the '+' after 'Agility', 'Durability', and 'Luck', the values plummeted to E, and at the moment she successfully applied 【Noble Phantasm Seal (Strong)】—

【Invasion window forcibly closed! Connection terminated!】

Boom—!!!

A violent vibration surged in her consciousness; the control panel before her flickered a few times, turned into garbled code, then vanished.

"Tsk, it's time."

Heimu rubbed his slightly swollen temples, but remained unruffled.

A few seconds later, a new connection was established, a more streamlined monitoring panel popped up, showing the perspective of the Mecha Assassin— it rose from a heap of shattered building debris, its violet‑red optical lens locking onto the distant, soaring purple‑black Light Pillar.

She quickly pulled up a brief overview of Huan Long's current status panel.

【Huan Long (Fusion Body·Interfered State)】

【Buff Retention】: Advanced Magic Source, Breeding Trait (Weakened), Destruction Trait (Weakened), Physical Resistance (Medium), Energy Resistance (Medium)…

【New Negatives】: Magic Operation Efficiency -65%, Mental Concentration sharply decreased, Motor Coordination impaired, Luck extremely low, Noble Phantasm temporarily unusable…

【Parameter Adjustment】: Strength A+, Magic A+, Agility E, Durability E, Luck E, Noble Phantasm 【Sealed】.

"Hmm…"

Heimu stroked his chin, carefully inspecting his 'labor results'; those most unreasonable 'Concept Invincibility' and 'Rule Immunity' finally got stripped away.

Now, though still a tough nut, at least… it can move.

The attributes were also slashed haphazardly; aside from high Strength and abundant Magic, everything else is now terribly dull.

The Noble Phantasm is sealed…

She exhaled gently, leaned back onto the soft couch, and a hint of a smile—'Now that's fair'—appeared on her face.

"From now on, the real battle begins. Cheat versus cheat, let's see whose backend is tougher."

Her consciousness, via the system, remotely issued a clear command to the Mecha Assassin: "Advance proactively, harass, and await the convergence of other forces. It's time to finish this."

The Mecha Assassin's thruster behind it spewed blazing violet‑red tail flame, turning into a streak of light, and without hesitation surged toward the direction of the Destruction Light Pillar.

Perspective shift.

The evil Light Pillar soaring into the sky captured everyone's attention, and the unease lingering in the air suddenly intensified.

At that moment, a faint whooshing sound rang out.

Everyone looked up and saw Black Tower perched on her purple Magic Staff, slowly descending from the night sky; her complexion looked a bit weary, but her eyes remained sharp.

"Black Tower Lady!"

San Yue Qi waved a hand, sighing in relief, "It's such a relief that you're okay!"

Black Tower landed, and the Magic Staff turned into specks of light and vanished.

She glanced over the crowd, her gaze lingering on A Xing for half a second before speaking lightly, "Hmm. That side is temporarily resolved. Archer was controlled, but has now withdrawn."

She was concise, as if she had dealt with not the ancient Hero King but a pesky fly.

Tengwan Lixiang breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, "Great, if the Hero King were controlled, the situation would be too tricky."

"The current problem is that one."

Black Tower lifted her chin, pointing at the distant Light Pillar, "It's probably something Huan Long created. She's there; the ultimate source is there."

Just as everyone was preparing to discuss how to proceed, Gui Naifen suddenly blinked, pointing at Black Tower, her tone tinged with uncertainty: "Um… Lady, you're… emitting golden light? Is this… normal?"

Everyone froze, all turning to look at Black Tower.

Around Black Tower, tiny specks of light like golden sand drifted slowly from the edges of her spiritual outline, merging into the air.

Though the speed was slow, for those familiar with the Holy Grail War this sight was all too familiar—it's a sign that a Servant's Spiritual Core is unstable, magic supply insufficient, and about to dissipate!

"What?!" San Yue Qi exclaimed.

Black Tower herself was also stunned; she looked down at her hand, which was shedding golden light, and the glint in her violet‑black eyes flashed quickly, almost instantly deducing the cause.

She snapped her head up, her gaze knife‑sharp, staring directly at A Xing, who stood aside with a somewhat vacant expression.

"You,"

Black Tower's voice was cold as ice, each word deliberate, "Command Spell?"

A Xing seemed only just to come to her senses, her golden pupils looking at Black Tower, blinking, and then… hesitantly extending her right hand, making a "V" sign.

"Used it."

Black Tower calmly said, "Two."

Black Tower: "……"

The scene fell into a death‑like silence.

Everyone could feel that, centered on Black Tower, a low pressure was wildly converging, and the air seemed to crackle with invisible electric sparks.

The genius's complexion darkened at a visibly rapid pace, a vein pulsing at the corner of her forehead; Black Tower stared at A Xing, that gaze as if wanting to dissect the gray‑haired brat and study its brain circuitry.

"Who, let, you, use, finished, it?!"

Black Tower, almost clenching her teeth, forced the words out between the gaps.

Black Tower had calculated countless possibilities, but never expected her Master to be such a "sincere" fellow!

The power of a Command Spell is enough for Black Tower to activate a Noble Phantasm, and this idiot actually smashed both of them!

Now it's over, the mana supply has been cut!
