I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

Li Wei said calmly:

"Unfortunately... my lightning travels at the speed of light."

This time, Li Wei simply moved with a speed that Achilles could hardly react to, flashing past and landing in the courtyard. The powerful electric current left charred marks all around Li Wei.

Once inside the courtyard, Li Wei reverted to human form.

"Overclocking adjustments enhance intuition."

Li Wei turned his gaze and asked, "Is the road this way?"

Although he enjoys fighting, it doesn't mean he's always careless. Or rather, sometimes a serious attitude makes him enjoy the fight even more.

Allowing such a massive aerial force to operate unchecked and only providing support when needed is undoubtedly a very unwise move. Furthermore, given that he might use some special forms in the future, failing to eliminate Vanity's Sky Garden will only turn it into a huge target.

As Li Wei moved forward down the corridor, he encountered a dense array of humanoid puppets, all of which hindered his progress.

The power of Pride, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, emanated from Li Wei, and an aura of a monarch who ruled over heaven and earth descended upon him. Li Wei said in a majestic tone, "You all shall die!"

Click, click, click—

All the puppets' bodies collapsed on their own.

On the other side, Semiramis, who was observing the situation, felt his will waver and his mind wander for a while. Then, Semiramis's expression changed slightly.

"Even this can affect me? What a terrifying power."

Semiramis tried to restrain Li Wei with chains, but failed again; the man's arrival was unavoidable.

Semiramis stopped trying in vain and simply waited for Li Wei to arrive on his throne.

……

After failing to snipe Li Wei, Rider Achilles returned to the garden, looking extremely unwilling.

"Damn it, he doesn't even dare to fight me!"

As he spoke, he was about to give chase to Li Wei, but Atalanta stopped him.

"Wait, Achilles, this is Assassin territory. Going there will only hinder her. Let's go back to the castle first, since we've already failed."

Atalanta said, "Assassin has prepared a way to deal with that demon. Although the chance of failure is not high, we must be prepared to join forces with them to fight if such a low-probability event occurs."

"Did the oldest poisoner fail...?" Achilles clicked his tongue, then took Atalanta and flew back to the castle in his Noble Phantasm.

……

Li Wei arrived at a large door, pushed it open, and saw the Empress sitting high on a jade throne.

"Welcome to my throne. Or perhaps I should address you as Your Majesty the Demon?"

"Compared to that, I'm even less comfortable with someone sitting in a higher position than me," Li Wei said calmly.

"Oh? What an arrogant Your Majesty."

Semiramis smiled and said, "I'm curious about what exactly you and Shiro discussed that day. Judging from his expression when he came back, you two shouldn't have had a falling out."

"What I find strange is that, even though you should have been able to cooperate successfully, he came back with an even stronger motivation and desire to deal with you."

"What kind of deal did you make?"

What happened between us is none of your concern.

Li Wei said expressionlessly, "If you don't come down, then be prepared to fall to the ground."

"Fall to the earth? No, my garden and I will always remain high in the sky, like stars that never fall!"

"And you, you should be preparing to fall!"

Semiramis snapped his fingers, and the door slammed shut instantly, releasing a torrent of poisonous gas from all sides.

"You're facing one of the oldest poisoners, and you still dare to be so calm."

"Hmm? Is this amount of poison still not enough?"

"Then, let's activate the Noble Phantasm—The Pride of the King's Wine!"

"Fall!"

The wine of the Arrogant King is a treasure that can even poison the threads of cause and effect. The poisons it can make are so potent that even the great hero Hercules and the great sage Chiron could not tolerate them!

then……

"Hmm? You want to have a poison contest with me?"

PS:

Chapter 316 Arrogance Residing High Above the Clouds

Li Wei exclaimed in surprise. Semiramis saw that the man shrouded in poison gas was completely unaffected, and even showed a faint hint of pleasure on his face.

My God, this is the Arrogant King's fine wine, a deadly poisonous treasure!

"How is this possible? As the oldest poisoner, let alone poisoning or injuring you, you actually... you actually... impossible!"

Semiramis was unwilling to accept this fact, and her face was slightly distorted.

"Come out, Bashum!"

This is a giant serpent summoned by Semiramis using the "wine of the proud king." It is one of the eleven creatures created by Tiamat, a monster in Babylonian mythology, and is the pinnacle of the fantasy species, one of the divine beasts.

In the original story, if Shishikatsu Kairi hadn't used a Command Spell on Mordred, Bashium might have died the moment he opened his jaw and exhaled the poison gas.

Even so, Mordred was still seriously injured when facing Semiramis's poison. If it weren't for the plot forces that forced her to fight back, given Empress Semiramis's advantages, it would have been impossible for her spirit origin to be destroyed.

Now, this terrifying venomous snake, summoned by Semiramis, opened its jaws and spewed deadly venom at Li Wei!

Then Semiramis saw what happened next that left her completely bewildered:

Bashum opened his mouth and exhaled.

Li Wei flicked a drop of something into its mouth.

Li Wei inhaled the poisonous gas and felt refreshed.

Bashum swallowed the drop, and with a hiss, all life force evaporated from his body.

I?????

"This, this, this..."

Semiramis stammered, "This, I, Bashium, this, you, that..."

"Huh? A confession scene?" Li Wei glanced at Semiramis. She had a good figure and was quite beautiful. Even after he was killed, it wasn't impossible to take advantage of her while she was still fresh in his mind…

Well, it's too early to consider this now, after all...

He has to kill her first.

"I... I'm the oldest poisoner, how could I possibly be involved in using poison..."

Semiramis looked at him in disbelief: "What on earth did you flick into Bashium's body? What was that thing?!"

"Huh? You mean that? Well, just a drop of blood from my body," Li Wei said, picking his ear.

"Your blood? A single drop?" Semiramis gave him a look that said, "You're lying to me, I'm not listening to you." "You're telling me this extraordinary poison is in your blood?"

"Putting aside whether your blood can reach that level, even if it were real, just one drop of your blood would be enough to kill Bashum with its toxicity. That kind of blood flowing in your body? Impossible!"

"Even containers are hard to withstand this kind of poison, let alone the bodies of living beings. This is a poison that even Bashium couldn't withstand!"

Li Wei scoffed, "Bashuum? You mean this little snake?"

"Little snake..."

"What else could it be but a little snake?" Li Wei said calmly. "At the pinnacle of fantasy creatures? A divine beast? Ridiculous."

"If it can't even withstand my slightly more serious poisonous blood, does it deserve to be called a life form at the pinnacle?"

"Slightly serious?" Semiramis sneered. "I admit, even as the most ancient poison master, I am ashamed of myself compared to the poison just now. But to have even a fraction of this divine substance among the gods is quite remarkable..."

Then Semiramis's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Li Wei raised his right hand to chest height, palm down, and five drops of blood flowed from the tips of his five fingers. The blood was not black and shiny, nor was it the strange red color commonly seen in other poisons; it was just ordinary, normal human blood. However, when this blood appeared, Semiramis saw the surrounding space being corroded.

Then the cavity created by the corrosion instantly sucked in the blood due to the attraction. This process was actually very brief, but Semiramis still witnessed this astonishing scene.

My heart was filled with unspeakable horror.

This poison is far more potent than the one that killed Bashium earlier!

It can even corrode space itself. Just how terrifying is this toxicity? Even describing it as extraordinary is not enough to express its power.

For a moment, Semiramis was somewhat dazed. Even with the intervention of the Supreme God, she lost her will to fight. Although she still had her proud magic as a means of combat, being so thoroughly crushed in her area of ​​expertise shattered her dignity and pride.

The oldest poisoner?

Now it seems like a joke.

Because of her expertise with poisons, she now truly understood and felt the terror of the man before her...

"Why... if you choose to poison them, none of the Servants and Mages present will be able to withstand it. You can end this war in an instant."

"Why exactly?"

"You are clearly so powerful."

At the same time, a new question arose in her mind: Yes, such a powerful monster, why could Shiro still smile after coming into contact with him?

After spending time with this monster... you can still smile??

"Yes, I do have many ways to crush the enemy and end the battle quickly, but why would I do that?"

"Why? You're actually asking why? Isn't it obvious? The point of a battle is to win!"

"Victory? No."

Li Wei revealed a morbid smile, "What fun is there in a battle that doesn't involve direct, hand-to-hand slaughter?"

"Using poison? That's too boring. I would never stoop to such a tactic."

"Besides, you are far from qualified to force me to resort to any means necessary."

Li Wei snorted coldly, "In the end, it is your weakness that has let me down."

"Yes, you... are too weak. Not just you, this world, the entire universe, is far too weak."

"So weak that I have no choice but to feed your strength."

Finally, Li Wei said something quite meaningful.

Upon hearing the final words, Semiramis felt a strange sense of unease, one that was difficult to articulate.

Does this person even realize how shocking the things they said are?

"Aren't you going to give your last words?" Li Wei asked calmly. "In that case, you can... go and die."

Li Wei was about to attack Semiramis when Semiramis vanished from her spot. This was because Amakusa Shiro Tokisada used his last Command Seal to summon her back.

Previously, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada had even strengthened her with Command Spells, which was one of her most desperate wishes. Under these circumstances, she was still far behind Li Wei.

"The transaction is partially completed."

Looking at the jade throne after Semiramis disappeared, Li Wei suddenly had a certain idea.

"I am showered with glory, and I sit arrogantly high on the clouds."

"The Seven Deadly Sins - Pride, Second Stage of Liberation".

PS:

PAS: I suddenly feel that the character development in the new book isn't very good. I'll revise it again. I should be able to release a sample copy around the end of this month or February.

Chapter 317 The Tyrant's Immortal Court

"I am showered with glory, and I sit arrogantly high on the clouds."

"The Seven Deadly Sins - Pride, Second Stage of Liberation".

After Li Wei unleashed the second stage of Pride, a deep purple aura filled his eyes, making him more majestic than his original, simple power of pride, and the pressure emanating from his body became immeasurably heavier.

At this moment, Li Wei resembled a king or a god descending to earth, possessing boundless power. Even his invisible gaze became as heavy as Mount Tai.
