"Do you mind if I try my hand?"
Snow Empress sized Artoria up and down, her fighting spirit faintly emerging: "It's fine, isn't it, Bai Luo?"
She didn't have many hobbies, and one of them was a desire to spar with strong individuals.
The strong individuals here weren't the brute force types like Conqueror and Jin Shan Shan, but masters skilled in swordsmanship, spear techniques, and martial arts.
Undoubtedly, Artoria and Lancer before her were precisely the opponents Snow Empress hoped to encounter.
——————
"Boni?"
Egui Peng was a bit at a loss.
The young girl indicated that she only came out to support Snow Empress.
Why was there suddenly a fight?
By the way, what should she do now? Help Snow Empress fight them together?
"...."
Bai Luo looked at Snow Empress with a wry smile: "If you play like this, it makes it seem like I'm taking on the entire Holy Grail War by myself."
Eliminating Caster, subduing Berserker, resolving Conqueror.
Next, he still had to challenge Jin Shan Shan.
If Snow Empress were to take on Saber and Lancer in a two-on-one fight again,
Bai Luo could truly say that he had single-handedly conquered the Holy Grail War.
"So, is it okay?"
"As you wish."
Bai Luo waved his hand indifferently, then lightly patted Egui Peng's head, bringing the dazed Egui Peng back to her senses.
Bai Luo was very confident in Snow Empress.
In terms of martial arts alone, Snow Empress's 700,000 years of refinement were not just for show.
This was still the initial version.
After becoming Bai Luo's innate martial spirit, Snow Empress gained a Unique Skill called Sword Saint.
Sword Saint wasn't just proficient in swords.
It represented peak martial arts, the highest realm of skill in the world.
Let alone mere Di Lu Mu Duo and Artoria, even Changjiang Knight, who possessed infinite martial prowess, would not be a match for the current Snow Empress in martial arts.
On the other side, Bai Luo returned to Ryudoji Temple with Egui Peng.
"Brother Bai Luo~~"
As soon as he returned, Sakura anxiously rushed over: "Are you okay? Are you hurt at all?"
"Don't worry, Sakura."
"Brother is fine, Conqueror was no match for me at all."
Bai Luo left 20 Ogres at Ryudoji Temple. With Jin Shan Shan and other Heroic Spirits present, he wasn't worried about Assassin's sneak attack.
A mere Hundred-Faced Ha-san wouldn't be able to break through the Ogres' defenses and harm Sakura.
"You saw it too, didn't you?"
Bai Luo had also projected his battle with Conqueror to Sakura and the Ogres there.
"Mm!"
Sakura said, "Brother is so amazing, and everyone else is also very, very amazing!"
A five- or six-year-old girl didn't know many words of praise.
"Very amazing," and "extremely amazing" were her best compliments.
"That's right, I'm the one who's going to conquer the Holy Grail War by myself."
Bai Luo hugged Sakura in his arms, then walked straight into his room.
He didn't let go of Sakura, but let the girl play in his arms while he immersed his mind and began to feel the new power he had gained from Conqueror.
'Inherent Barrier.'
Bai Luo secretly anticipated: 'Let me see how big of a surprise you can bring me.'
"Wei Er!"
[I am here]
"Have you analyzed the essence of Inherent Barrier?"
[Fully analyzed]
Violet reported her analysis results to Bai Luo: "I have integrated this power into your Spirit Space, Bai Luo, and simultaneously connected it to the Void Gate."
"And the result?"
"Successfully broke through the rule barrier between the Cardinal World and other worlds."
Violet's news could be said to have solved one of Bai Luo's most pressing concerns at the moment.
That was, Bai Luo could not bring life from other worlds to the Cardinal World through any means other than the Familiar Contract.
Similarly, non-familiar entities from the Cardinal World could not enter other worlds.
But now, it was different.
The Inherent Barrier that Bai Luo analyzed and obtained from Conqueror became a privileged passage outside this restriction.
If different worlds were compared to islands,
then Bai Luo's Inherent Barrier was a black ship capable of deceiving any world.
Take Sakura as an example.
As long as Bai Luo placed her within the Inherent Barrier before crossing, he could bring her along to the Cardinal World.
"Then, can I bring Sakura out?"
"You can."
Violet: "Theoretically, the purity of the Cardinal World is extremely high. With Sakura's physical constitution, merely coming out would cause her to be crushed by the gravity there."
"Theoretically?"
"Yes."
Violet's voice carried a hint of pride: "There are many exploitable aspects here."
Wei Er was not yet the sole will of the Cardinal World.
But just as she opened a back door for Bai Luo when naming, she could also obtain identity verification for outsiders like Sakura.
"What kind of identity verification?"
"Reincarnator!"
"Hoo hoo!"
Bai Luo teased: "You've got it, Wei Er, playing it like this, huh?"
Being treated as a Reincarnator by the Cardinal World, the implications were self-evident.
The world's voice would bestow corresponding magic essence upon Sakura based on her soul quality.
If she was lucky, she might even directly obtain a Unique Skill.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't I get a bunch of Unique Skills if I just brought a group of people back?"
"It's not that simple."
Violet poured cold water on Bai Luo: "magic essence modification is not something everyone can withstand."
"If one's soul aptitude is insufficient, let alone a Unique Skill, even existence itself would be a problem."
Therefore, if Bai Luo truly wanted to bring people back, it would be best to bring individuals with certain aptitudes.
The aptitude here did not refer to someone's talent and strength, but their weight within their own world.
"Weight?"
"You can understand it as the importance of the character."
"Like protagonists, supporting male and female characters, villains, extras, passersby?"
Bai Luo felt that this was somewhat similar to the concept of Children of Fortune described in some novels.
"That's right."
Violet said: "The Cardinal World will bestow gifts from the Type-Moon World upon Sakura based on her authority."
In other words, it was like two countries establishing diplomatic relations.
Type-Moon sent Sakura to visit the Cardinal World, and the latter would offer an equivalent level of hospitality.
This was the reference for how many benefits the people Bai Luo helped smuggle could obtain in the Cardinal World.
The more important the character, the more favor they would receive from the world's voice.
Because, to some extent, acquiring talent was a form of rule plunder for the Cardinal World.
Wei Er used this method to persuade the Cardinal World.
After all, if someone was sending benefits, there was no reason not to accept them.
