Lin didn't dwell much on the Codex levels.
After all, the higher Vignette's and Gabriel's Codex levels, the better for him.
Higher levels meant he was more likely to obtain good rewards.
Concealment power enveloped him.
A Space Card flashed by.
Lin's figure vanished from the spot, instantly returning to his residence.
He sat on the living room sofa on the first floor and began claiming the Codex rewards.
First was Heaven Strike.
It originated from the strongest attack of the Exceed of the Winged Race in the Game of the Gods world.
A special attack method.
The original version transformed the body's entire structure into an Elf Corridor connected to nerves, drawing power from the corridor.
Its power depended on the amount of energy injected.
Essentially, it forcibly drew elves from the atmosphere, even absorbing light, and compressed them into a spear.
No extra spells or operations needed.
In Game of the Gods, the Winged Race would loli-fy after fully releasing Heaven Strike due to energy loss.
But with infinite energy.
Lin had no worries about consumption. Gaining Heaven Strike gave him another powerful offensive option.
Heaven Strike was somewhat like the Rasengan.
Both scaled with injected energy.
However, Heaven Strike was superior in power utilization, so its ceiling was much higher.
After all, it was a purple Codex reward.
Of course, if Lin developed the Rasengan further, it could potentially match Heaven Strike.
After claiming Heaven Strike.
Next was the Sword of the Oath of Victory.
From the Type-Moon World again.
The anti-fortress Noble Phantasm wielded by Artoria Pendragon.
Sword of the Oath of Victory
Rank: A++
Type: Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm
Not the holy sword of the stars from the old version.
Even so, it remained an extremely powerful holy sword Noble Phantasm.
As Lin claimed the reward.
A longsword materialized before him.
He could freely choose where physical rewards appeared—mental space or the external world.
The Sword of the Oath of Victory was about 115 cm long overall.
Blade about 93 cm.
Guard about 12 cm wide.
The golden guard had blue accents; the silver-white blade faintly gleamed with gold, exuding a holy aura.
Gripping the Sword of the Oath of Victory, Lin felt an intimate soul-bound connection.
Regardless of origin.
After claiming and fusing, all abilities and items bound to his soul, impossible to seize by external force.
Looking at the Sword of the Oath of Victory, Lin couldn't help thinking of that EX-rank sheath.
The distant ideal paradise, Avalon.
When deployed, Avalon formed the ultimate absolute defense, untouched even by the five magics.
Ignoring all physical interference.
All interference from parallel worlds.
Even the anti-world Noble Phantasm, the EX-rank Sword of Rupture, Ea, at full power couldn't affect anything within the sheath's protection—could even rebound damage.
To obtain the Avalon sheath, purple level likely wasn't enough; gold Codex needed.
Lin's eyes flickered at the thought.
He had no gold Codex lit yet, not even recorded.
Among known existences, those steadily gold weren't few but not many.
Like the Final Emperor, Luca.
Or Gabriel's sister, Zelel.
And from the To Love-Ru worldview, Galactic Emperor Diabolik, golden shadows, etc.
Lin opened the Mist Gate.
Arriving at the outer sea of the Mirage Realm.
He raised the Sword of the Oath of Victory with both hands.
The blade gathered golden light.
Origin Power continuously injected.
Lin's expression grew serious:
"The king of constant victory chants the true name of the miracle in his hand..."
"EX Curry Stick!"
A holy, dazzling golden beam shot skyward. With Lin's downward slash, it struck the sea ahead.
The sea before him split in two.
Seawater touching the beam instantly vaporized.
One sword parted the sea, depth thousands of meters.
Most energy converged at the beam's tip, landing in the deep sea 100,000 meters away.
Blinding light erupted.
A golden mushroom cloud rose.
Directly blasting a vacuum domain nearly 50,000 meters in diameter in the deep sea zone tens of thousands of meters down.
Shockwave raised monstrous waves.
This was its true power.
Though not the EX star holy sword, with sufficient energy, its might remained earth-shattering.
As an anti-fortress Noble Phantasm.
It held city-destroying power.
Lin communed with Mirage Realm rules to calm the curry stick's commotion, casually twirled a sword flower.
He could now proficiently use any weapon.
Thanks to Iwanaga Kotoko's Codex.
Nickname: Iwanaga Kotoko
Level: Blue
Description: Yokai's God of Wisdom
Acquired: War God's Blessing
...
The War God's Blessing, like the previous Arrow Blessing, came from that Lainharut.
Effect: Instantly proficient with one's weapons.
Just pick up a weapon, and master its use automatically.
Even Gae Bolg; no spear skills needed, proficiency upon grasp.
Gained corresponding spear level upon holding.
If ranked.
Around minor accomplishment.
Entry, minor accomplishment, major accomplishment;
Then transcendent realm, god's domain.
Any weapon, under War God's Blessing, reaches corresponding minor accomplishment.
Compared to Arrow Blessing, Lin preferred War God's Blessing more.
It could stack too.
Like with bow mastery, his base archery near major accomplishment.
Under War God's Blessing, archery directly breaks to major accomplishment.
Major accomplishment archery, across the world over millennia, few achieved.
One step further to transcendent.
Enter god's domain; archery rivals true gods.
Only lacking power perhaps.
...
Storing the Sword of the Oath of Victory, Lin vanished instantly.
Returning to Homestead One cabin.
Played with Kanna and others a bit; Gabriel messaged.
So back to Human Realm residence.
Tohru, Akasha, Kanna, and Sakurajima Mai joined him.
Lin went to second-floor bedroom, booted computer, logged into World Tree.
Added Gabriel as friend.
Gabriel then voice-called on LINE.
Partying needed voice.
Otherwise less fun.
Lin donned headphones.
Gabriel's voice in headphones: "Hey hey hey, Lin, can you hear me?"
Lin: "Yes."
Gabriel: "OK, I'll take you through the level 30 dungeon, show you my skills."
Lin: "Alright, ready to shout 666."
Gabriel: "You'll be amazed, get ready."
They teleported to same zone, ran maps a bit, entered dungeon.
Gabriel began performing her antics.
