Chapter 61: The Backup Card Is a Bit of a Letdown
Chapter 61: The Backup Card Is a Bit of a Letdown
Scratching his cheek, the Ditto Luk finally felt the conversation was getting back to normal.
"Well, I can transform, but it's not as straightforward as in the games. Pokemon abilities aren't absolute rules, but they do have a high priority. I've never seen anything I couldn't turn into, including legendary Pokemon like Articuno and some complex electronic devices," Ditto Luk explained carefully.
"But I have to see it in person to transform. I've tried with Pokemon I've only seen on TV or in the Pokedex, but it doesn't work," he added.
The One Piece Luk looked a bit disappointed, his dream of turning into a mech crushed instantly.
Naruto Luk joined the discussion with a bit more seriousness, "Can you only transform during battles, or anytime, anywhere?"
"Anywhere, anytime. Once I've transformed into something, I can store that form permanently. Think of it like opening a Pokedex entry; once it's open, I can transform into it."
"It seems a bit different from the anime," Naruto Luk observed.
Ditto Luk thought for a moment, "The transformation skill has steps. First, I select a target, something I want to turn into, which must be within the skill's range. Usually, if I can see it, I can transform into it."
Naruto Luk and One Piece Luk exchanged glances, momentarily silent, thinking about Ditto Luk's beady eyes.
"Second, I analyze the target. The skill processes the target's appearance, structure, characteristics, and abilities, all at once in my mind. I don't fully understand this part; it's all automated. To put it simply, the target is like a game, the skill is the program running the game, and my mind is the CPU. It just needs to run smoothly."
"Third, I overwrite my data with the analyzed data to transform into the target. The transformation process ends, and to revert, I just restore my original data."
To prevent the other Luks from getting their hopes up, Ditto Luk added a precaution, "Just to be clear, my stats don't change when I transform. Even if I turn into Arceus, I can't break a rock with Judgment."
"That sounds a bit underwhelming for a kids' world," Naruto Luk said, a bit disappointed.
If the transformation skill were more rule-based, allowing for anything to be transformed, it would be much more powerful, adding many more options. But with such detailed conditions, Ditto Luk's Pokemon world clearly has some logic, which cuts the power in half.
It would be better if it were like a four-panel comic, where characters could be injured or even die one second and be back to full health the next, or if there were no explanation for energy and stamina consumption. Then the Luks could really take off.
A figure slowly materialized, the Shinigami Luk with the "Wicked and Evil" sign suddenly logged in early today.
He ran excitedly to Ditto Luk, his eyes shining.
"I suddenly had a strong premonition that a big-shot Luk would show up today, and sure enough, here you are."
Shinigami Luk was thrilled, marveling, "And you're the original Ditto! Are you the one who has become the sole ruler of the universe, reversing time to return to the past? Big-shot, please take me along for a quick run, I want to stand above all like Aizen!"
He rushed over and touched Ditto Luk, then fell to the ground, his eyes empty.
"It's just a Ditto with a base stat total of 48. A complete waste."
"I don't even ask for you to be Arceus; even a Mew would be better. This is just a common card. What a terrible game, no pity system, and no rewards from the gacha pools!"
"Give me at least an SR card!"
Shinigami Luk cried helplessly. As a disciple of the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect, he had barely managed to reach the bottom level of a vice-captain after so long. He didn't ask for instant godhood, but at least give him a little boost!
As if in response to his plea, a vortex appeared in the sky, and the elegant Lamia Dragon descended with a graceful spin.
"Whoa!" x4
None of the Luks expected another draw, and the strong aura of the Lamia Dragon was unmistakable.
The four Luks immediately rushed toward the Lamia Dragon with red eyes. After so many Luks who were just starting out, the mysterious space finally welcomed a heavyweight character.
The sudden appearance of the Azure Dragon startled the four people, but a strange sense of familiarity prevented them from resisting. The moment they touched the five Luks, a shared trigger activated.
The four people who touched the Azure Dragon fell to the ground from the sky.
"Ugh... What a boring memory."
"Nothing but eating and sleeping, circling around a mountain peak all day."
"At least it didn't see a real female Azure Dragon, so the memory isn't tainted. I really don't like watching animal videos."
"Even as a young version, the Azure Dragon is still an SR. This is a good deal!"
The Azure Dragon Luk descended from the sky, coiling up into a relaxed coil. The entire dragon seemed quite amiable. "I never thought I'd have a golden finger, and it's pretty powerful too."
Being transformed into the Azure Dragon made him feel like he had a cheat, though it wasn't a forbidden-level ability, the Azure Dragon was still a near-forbidden creature, standing at the top of the food chain.
The growth cycle was a bit long, and in its juvenile form, it was far from the level where just moving could destroy entire villages, or where it could rule the land with impunity.
However, after merging with the other Luks, the Azure Dragon Luk felt he had made another leap forward, with his upper limits pushed even higher. This must be considered a mutation.
"Maybe I can't become an Azure Dragon in the Soul Society."
The Soul Reaper Luk, waking from his joy, thought about it and realized that this rare SR Luk's power wasn't very compatible with the Soul Society.
Whether it was "dragon" or "monster," these concepts didn't fit well with the Soul Society. Although the Western Division dealt with dragons, they were actually Hollows in dragon form.
So, he probably couldn't use the Azure Dragon form, though his overall strength had increased. It wasn't as significant as he had hoped, but there were dragon-like Hollows, so perhaps the Azure Dragon's power would manifest in another form.
The other three didn't have such concerns.
In the Pokemon world, it was a given, and in the One Piece world, seeing Kaido showed that the compatibility with "dragons" wasn't an issue. In the Naruto world, there were semi-physical, semi-energy tailed beasts and techniques like the Eight Branches Technique.
The four of them went offline to test their new powers, leaving the Azure Dragon Luk to continue dancing in the sky. Its life as a dragon was quite boring, making it perfect for waiting in this mysterious space.
After a while, the Dragon Race Luk yawned and came online. When he saw the Azure Dragon in the sky, his previously lethargic state immediately perked up.
He conjured a chair, leaned back tactically, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
What does it mean to be the King of Sky and Wind?
...
Luk opened his eyes, a flash of divine light disappearing instantly.
He stretched out his hand, and invisible currents of air swirled around his fingertips.
Though his world was highly accommodating of power, the limit of physical transformation seemed to be the dual-handed form. He couldn't transform from human form into Azure Dragon form.
On the other hand, he, who was originally a post-awakening anomaly, had gained a new innate ability, seemingly a product of the Azure Dragon's power adapting to the world's rules.
Now, he could freely control wind and water, and his control over lightning had improved significantly.
He couldn't test the strength and precision immediately, but he could feel that it was a considerable power.
Knock knock knock!
There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by the door being pushed open, and a disheveled figure walked in.
"Feng Baobao? What's up?"
Feng Baobao, with a blank expression, spoke. "Two things. First, the participants of the Great Luo Tian Sacrifice are hosting a banquet and have invited you. Second..."
"Zhang Chuluan asked me to give you the Old Farmer's Technique early."
The skills like Qi Body Source Flow and Divine Coating, which Teacher Mi Er didn't explain in detail, can only be inferred based on existing manifestations or clues. Don't be too upset, but also don't worry too much. Since you just got the Qi Body Source Flow, there's no time to practice or show it, and the Divine Coating will soon disappear.
