Limitless The Strongest Revenant

Chapter 831: A sore loser [2/2]



'Exa, show Lilly the information about {Sins of Limitless}.'

[Understood my lord.]

"I would never allow such a risk to exist Dear."

At that moment, Lilly went wide eyed as she gasped. She then looked at me with complicated expression. How could she not, the new {Kismet} allowed me to kill anyone who drank my blood. Meaning anyone with {Rewind}, basically had a gun to their heads.

"Oh…I see…That's…"

"It's a why the {Kismet's} name has changed. With Exa around, I will rule my kingdom with an iron fist. I give good carrots, but you should know I love my sticks too."

"The name worries me quite a bit, but I will acquiescence for now. I have long decided to be flexible with regards to morals. Especially when considering risks," she replied while twirling her hair.

Finding her new mannerism adorable I replied with a smile. "Thank you, Lilly."

"You are welcome. But seeing your Avatars arming themselves you really wish to fight me?"

"I am a sore loser after all. Despite knowing how awesome you are I want to see how far I can go."

"If that is your wish, then as your woman I will respond in kind."

At Lilly's words she pulled out her greatsword and the M134D minigun. However, her six barreled rotary machine gun got upgraded. Before it needed to be held with two hands due to being bulky. Now she grabbed the trigger as the rest of the gun covered her forearm like a glove.

It had reminded me of how mechs would carry multi barreled weapons. The awkward handle the old M134D used before was because it was heavy and unwieldy. Even grown men had issues carrying it one handed. But to Lilly, that was no issue.

On top of having the {Carry} family, she also was a Descendant. The way she swung the 85 lbs Minigun would make one believe that it was made of cardboard and foam. Together with her greatsword Lilly's loadout out gave her a good balance of close, mid and long-range capabilities.

The American then had her eyes turn orange as souls began radiating out from her body. The ground and sky around her began to turn a golden orange. The contrast of the golden orange world and Hellsgate was quite obvious.

Even from where I stood the hairs on my body all stood up as I felt the power of Lilly's Domain. Compared to Carlos and Herman's Ishtar's domain was definitely on the small side. But Domains were never about size. They were about bringing a small field with you.

This golden orange domain was the reason, my avatars and I got beaten by Lilly. I managed to learn everything about Lilly's combat style with [Gladiator]. Unfortunately, my compatibility with her domain was quite bad. You could consider it my natural antithesis.

'[Maestro], talk to me. Find a way to beat her domain yet?'

[No. Lilly's world breaks the concept of space and distance. We already identified the rule she distorted but it didn't help us that much. Frankly, I think it is impossible for us to fight her.]

'Well, I wouldn't blame you. As far as powers go, Lilly's domain was pretty unorthodox.'

Lilly was a Ruler. She was in fact a Distortion Ruler. By modifying one law of the universe Distortion Rulers could assert their will. They needed less creativity than Creation Rulers but had more stable results.

"Then shall we begin Dearest?"

"Yes," I replied curtly.

I had all my avatars pull out their standard load outs. Except for Tuesday, who pulled out Roach's anti-soul halberd. As he had [Gladiator] on, Tuesday would be my main attacker.

Supporting him were Monday in [Defender] along with Saturday with [Ninja]. Everyone else would on standby. While I still had four other avatars, sending too many people against Lilly was a fucking recipe for disaster.

I had the rest of my bodies take up positions and aim their weapons.

"[Hellsend's Armory]!"

At my command, my UGV's Burger and Fries came out. There were two Ripsaw M5s and two TRX Razorbacks. Of course, only one of each was real. The other UGV's were all duplicates that would last for one battled with {Replicate}.

'[Maestro] got anything for me?'

[What makes you think I have anything new since the last time you asked? Lilly's domain breaks the concept of Kinematics Equations. She changes the trajectories of bullets on a whim. And even causes them to not follow linear trajectories.]

'Well, she already did those things even before she became a Specter.'

[She has indeed. And now she has a Domain where she does this distortion instinctively. Simply put projectiles would never hit her if she does not want them to. You are better off using swords, but even then, you are not guaranteed to hit her.]

'But we know that she uses some kind of law, right? Can't we figure out how to make the bullets hit her? Don't you have my Wifey's {Insight} as your component?'

[Hmm. Maybe if we try to piece her domain's spatial structure. Wait… it could work. Using [Executioner's] vision and [Ninja's] senses and [Gladiator's] observations. We could map how to make the bullets curve towards her by her own distortions.]

'Sounds like a plan. But I got something better. Why not just unload every bullet we have on here and hope we get lucky?'

[What in the world are you suggesting?]

'I am just saying if the entire domain's effect is to reroute bullets away from Lilly, we can shoot the space around her to find the path that leads the projectiles to her.'

[How are you even sure that this path even exists?]

'Weren't you going to use the guys to find it?'

[I assumed it exists, but I have no solid evidence that it does.]

'Well, do something about it. You're the [Maestro].'

[Fine. The three we chose earlier would go in close. Your main task is confining Lilly in place. [Heavy Gunner] will unload everything into her domain. I will have the drones coordinate with you. The four of you will be on offense.]

[Our defenders will be everyone else. [Maestro] who will look for weaknesses in Lilly's Domain. [Executioner], who will protect everyone with [Interceptor]. [Sky Sentinel] will harass Lilly so that she cannot leverage being able to blink around. Remember to not confront her directly.]

While it might have appeared weird to everyone, I always operated my avatars like characters in a party RPG. This approach allowed me to coordinate my moves for maximum effect. I was the 'player' but I was also the characters in the 'party.'

Maybe that was how the Discipline system got created in the first place. With our plan set in place, I controlled all seven of my bodies for our first raid boss. Funnily enough the first opponent we would try take down with a full team was my woman.

"It is quite something to see seven of you all staring at me so intently. Even with my demonstration earlier you still do not wish to just quietly submit. Dearest you really are a masochist."

"Haha, you are forgetting something dear. I have been fighting Specters long before you even managed to become one. Revenants too. You should know, I fought a Revenant during my first night." Enjoy exclusive adventures from My Virtual Library Empire

"Fufu, indeed you have. It feels like a lifetime ago. The you at this moment cannot compare to the one who fought on the enlistment. Let me guess, it's something cheesy like the Sirens are the reason why you have changed so much?"

Was I that obvious? I remember saying something similar to Liv before. But it was true. Rather than I changed because of the world, I did because of the people I interacted with. And the Sirens naturally topped that list.

"Well. It my opinion aren't you the same? Compared to the Phantom who could only rub her legs together like a pervert, the Lilly standing before me is a Specter and several leagues more competent. The only thing that remained the same is your beauty."

Lilly held her hand close to her face and laughed like a noblewoman, "Pfft! So hammy! But you really never intend to let me live that down do you? Perhaps a good beating would cure such terrible memory?"

"Pretty sure a good fucking would do better for my memory. But I intend to collect later anyway so it is enough."

"Hmph! Talk is cheap. I love you Dearest, but you are delusional if you think you can beat me!"

"We won't know unless we try now, won't we?"

Lilly and I looked into each other's eyes as we felt each other's fighting spirit.

With as smile we both declared the beginning of hostilities.

"OPEN COMBAT!" x2
