My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start - Chapter 325

Chapter 325: The City of Steel’s Transformation

Boom!

Watson threw another punch; it was the same as before that. It was a diamond-tier fighting technique fused by countless warriors who were proficient in fist techniques. Its name was the Invincible Punch.

He was invincible with one punch.

With just a single punch, Watson extinguished the intense dragon breath that he had spat out when he transformed into a diamond-tier dragon. Then, he took a step forward and arrived in front of Antonio in a flash. He waved the third punch.

“Absolute Time Freeze!”

Antonio waved his staff again and released the second rule he had mastered after entering the diamond tier. The rule covered the Tower of Babel’s entire top floor, stopping time instantly. Whether it was the wind blowing or the scattering dust, everything froze at that moment.

The world turned black and white. Watson’s fist stopped at the tip of Antonio’s nose, unable to advance any further.

“Absolute Explosion!”

Antonio did not show any mercy. Instead, he tapped Watson’s fist gently with his staff. Watson’s body instantly turned into an explosive object. A violent explosion erupted from every inch of his body; flames filled the entire hall.

“It’s over,” Antonio said softly as he put down his staff. He could feel the massive amount of magic power from his body.

“Yes, Master, it’s over! Thousand-armed giant transformation, Invincible Punch!”

Watson released one of the two transformation skills that came with the Einherjar’s body. The glowing arms that were originally intertwined behind his back suddenly stretched outward. Meridians and bones grew out from the inside, while solid flesh grew out from the outside. The muscular arms were like dragons.

In just an instant, over a thousand arms spread out from Watson’s back. Each of those arms belonged to a warrior, but at that moment, they were all unleashing invincible fists at the same time.

Over a thousand invincible fists gathered together, forming a fist phantom that stretched out for hundreds of meters in front of Watson.

Time, which had been stagnant, began to move forward again. The huge fist-phantom in front of Watson shattered the time that had been frozen. The black and white world shattered like a mirror. The wind began to flow, and dust began to fall. Even the explosion on the surface of Watson’s body was blown away by the violent wind of the fist. Flames were forced out of his body like long snakes, shooting out in all directions along the top floor of the tower.

Watson’s punch just happened to land on Antonio’s body.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the platinum-tier magic robe Antonio was wearing shattered into pieces, and he flew back more than ten meters. His feet drew a deep ravine on the ground, and finally, he stabbed the staff in his hand into the ground. Only then did he stop at the edge of the Tower of Babel, which covered hundreds of meters. He did not fall.

Even though he did not fall, it was no different. That was because Watson’s punch had shattered the ground and the dome of the highest floor of the Tower of Babel. Antonio could only use magic to float in mid-air. After destroying the highest floor of the Tower of Babel, the huge shadow of the Fist did not disappear. Instead, it shot straight into the clouds, striking a clear hole in the clouds in the distant sky in the shape of a huge fist.

“Looks like I’ll have to expend resources to repair the Tower of Babel later.”

Watson’s face showed that he wanted to fight. He shook the thousands of arms on his back as he walked toward Antonio. At that moment, Antonio stopped him. “Wait a moment, Watson. I’ve already seen your results in the underground maze. You’ve done well. There’s no need to continue fighting.”

“But Master, I haven’t displayed my full strength yet.”

Watson scratched his head. “I’ve obtained Einherjar’s body after clearing the dungeon. What I’ve just shown you is the ability of the Einherjar’s body in the field of priests and archers, as well as his attainments in the field of fighter’s boxing. I haven’t shown you the skills of swordsmanship and mages yet! Similarly, I’ve only used the thousand-hand giant with the transformation ability of the Einherjar’s body, and I have yet to use the hundred-eyed giant.”

The Einherjar’s body contained the knowledge of over a million challengers over hundreds of years. Watson, who had fused all of that knowledge, was now at the top of his class no matter which class he was in, not to mention when he was fighting against his clone, he had also fused a large number of diamond-tier rules, but he had not released those rules either.

“Understanding the details is an essential skill for an excellent teacher. Based on the strength you have shown so far, I have determined that your current strength is at the peak of the kingdom, and you are not far from the number one sword saint in the kingdom. After all, you have not entered the diamond-tier yet, and when you enter the diamond-tier, I believe that your strength will be on par with his! ” If we continue to fight, the Tower of Babel that you worked so hard to build might be destroyed. Forget it.”

Antonio did not mean what he said. He was right about Watson’s strength. However, he did not dare to fight because he was afraid of losing to Watson, not because he was afraid of destroying that place.

Even though he had blocked Watson’s punch earlier with his extraordinary strength, his entire body was aching and his bones were about to fall apart. If he continued to fight, Watson would punch him twice more. It was inevitable that he would lose in embarrassment.

There was a time when Watson could not follow up with all his skills. Now, he only needed three punches to finish him off. that was even after he had advanced to the diamond-tier. That was the only time in his life that he had felt so powerless in front of someone else. That was when he faced the sword saint. One could say that Watson already had the aura of a sword saint.

Antonio considered himself a genius as he reached the platinum tier when he was very young. However, there was still a difference between a genius and a monster. He could judge the future achievements of a genius, but monsters would always exceed his expectations. Originally, he had planned to let Watson experience the scenery of different cities and increase his strength during the following journey. He had even developed a complete training path for that.

It seemed that he had to shorten that path. Because Watson’s strength had improved too quickly, some trials were no longer necessary.

“Perhaps in a few years, Watson will be able to surpass the current sword saint and become the strongest person in the Holy Dragon Kingdom and even the entire world. At that time, the old man can rest assured and leave.”

Antonio muttered in his heart and coughed. He said to Watson, “Your current strength has already met my requirements.” However, when you release your skills, the aura that you exude is too powerful. Even ordinary people would feel fear. Therefore, the next training is not to increase your strength, but to teach you how to control your own energy to prevent it from leaking and causing an impact on your life.”

With Watson’s current strength, if he were to release his einherjar body, all the professionals within a radius of a few hundred meters would be so frightened that they would kneel down. A qualified expert would know how to restrain his aura. After all, the leaking of his aura was caused by not completely controlling his own energy. He was able to kill without making a sound, and he would not even let his opponent feel how powerful his attack was; he was an expert.

One could see that Watson could not control his increased strength freely. One could also see how much he had gained.

“Master, you are amazing. Not only did you see my strength at a glance, but you also recognized the problems that had appeared on my body. I am currently troubled by an overly powerful energy that cannot be controlled. It is really great to have you, Master, to teach me.”

Watson sincerely praised his master; Antonio appeared to be embarrassed as he waved his hand. “Brat, it’s good that you know it!”

“Since you have already cleared the underground city, we should leave. We can do that after you’ve repaired the Tower of Babel and pack up. Our next stop is very far away from the City of Steel. That place is called the Floating City of Stanley, a port close to the royal city.”

As he spoke, Antonio felt emotional. When the Tower of Babel had just been established, he had also challenged it. Although he had not cleared the dungeon, he had gained a lot of insights. Plus, he had expected Watson to clear the dungeon. However, the number of insights he had gained still shocked him when he thought about that. In terms of strength and talent, Watson had already surpassed the current sword saint.

“I understand, Master. I’ll repair the Tower of Babel now.”

….

It was an hour later when Watson finished repairing the Tower of Babel.

He left the tower and went back to the City of Steel. It was already evening. Even though the city was also known as the City of Adventurers, it was the first time Watson had seen so many adventurers on the streets. He would meet a team after every few steps. Those adventurers could not enter the Tower of Babel, so they could only gather in the streets.

Although the adventurer teams did not discuss anything deliberately, Watson’s keen hearing still heard them.

“Have you heard? Master Antonio’s disciple, a youth named Watson, cleared the dungeon before Lady Christina did. Because of that, the dungeon has changed. According to those who entered the 100th floor, the maze had evolved. The rewards for clearing the maze will be more abundant, and the difficulty is also increased.”

A group of bronze-tier adventurers was commenting on that. They were not strong enough, so they had not participated when Watson had pulled out the buried city.

“Hey, your news is outdated. Everyone knew that Lady Christina did not clear the dungeon or break her father’s record. I also heard that she is giving up on her businesses here and will go back to the capital to further her studies at the Royal Academy.”

“Really? That’s great. The Holy Sword adventurer team had always monopolized the City of Steel. As a result, small adventurer teams like ours had very few chances to explore the deeper levels. Now that she is leaving, the Holy Sword adventurer team will no longer have such strong control. We also have a chance! I really want to enter the new dungeon to take a look. Oh, the dungeon has a new name. We should call it the Tower of Babel. Unfortunately, according to insiders, its evolution process will take a day. We can only go up tomorrow.”

The adventurers talked as they walked further away. Watson listened to the others talking about similar things, and a smile of regret and joy appeared on his face.

“Unfortunately, when the Tower of Babel causes a huge uproar in the City of Steel tomorrow, I’m afraid I would have already left.”
