This is a win-win situation. As for how to lure Spartacus to attack Ruler, that's not a difficult matter.
……
"Li Wei, what about you and those two people from earlier?" Joan of Arc stopped there, her tone more of a gentle inquiry than a forceful one.
This means that Li Wei can say, or not say, or cannot say in detail or in specific terms.
Joan of Arc had already come to regard Li Wei as her friend.
"You're not wrong. We're from the same place. That's why you find our aura strange, somewhere between human and heroic spirit."
Li Wei honestly said, "You can imagine it as a very magical, much wider world. We came here to participate in the Holy Grail War. As for what kind of place it is, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but just as the Holy Grail War has its own rules, there are also rules that limit that place."
Yes, just like at the Reincarnation Academy, information related to the system and the Main God Space is restricted from being revealed by the reincarnators. It's just that the methods of restriction are different. At the Reincarnation Academy, the system blocks related information, while here... violators are eliminated.
Li Wei doesn't want to confront the Supreme God for the time being.
"I see." Joan of Arc looked a little regretful, because her initial goodwill towards Li Wei was partly based on their shared special characteristics.
"Wait, Li Wei, you're wrong."
Joan of Arc suddenly said, "I can see through the true names and classes of the other two, but you are the only one. From the beginning until now, I have never known what your true name is."
Joan of Arc seemed a little happy at this point.
"Li Wei, you also encountered some summoning anomalies, didn't you?"
“Indeed.” Li Wei thought about it carefully; he didn’t even know why he had been pulled into the Holy Grail War.
Hearing Li Wei's affirmation, Joan of Arc was even happier, and the feeling of being fellow sufferers deepened even further.
"I just didn't expect that even the King of Heroes Gilgamesh and the King of Conquerors Iskandar would show up."
Joan of Arc's expression turned somewhat serious: "I find their behavior a bit strange, it seems..."
"Does it seem like they want to be our enemy?" Li Wei added.
"Yes."
“I always felt that they wanted to harm us.”
"If a fight breaks out..." Jeanne said gravely, "the chances of winning are slim, unless I unleash that Noble Phantasm..."
"Don't worry, it's not your turn to make a move."
Li Wei said calmly, "The matter of fighting is best left to the men."
"Li Wei, are you underestimating me?" Jeanne said somewhat displeased. "I am also very powerful. I am the Ruler of this Holy Grail War, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the Holy Grail War."
"It's not about strength or weakness, it's just that I feel..."
This was the first time Li Wei had ever been so serious in front of Joan of Arc. "If a man makes all the girls around him go to the battlefield, then he is utterly useless."
"Besides, don't just think about fighting and killing all day long. As a warrior, a heroic spirit, before Ruler, you must remember that you are still a girl."
Joan of Arc was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red, and she said somewhat awkwardly, "Li, Li Wei, you idiot, what are you saying?"
"Hmph, I, I'm very powerful!" Joan said, waving her little fist to threaten Li Wei: "If you underestimate me again, I, I'll beat you up."
"Li Wei, what's with that look? Do you think I'm joking? I... I'm serious! Be serious!"
Joan of Arc was furious.
"Oh, okay, I'm being serious now," Li Wei said with a smirk.
"Li Wei, you deserve a beating!"
……
"So, right now, should we find that Black Team Assassin first?" Li Wei said.
Joan of Arc nodded: "Yes, if we let her run around like this, I think the harm she would cause to ordinary people would be too great, and I can't rest easy about it."
"But I can't think of a good way to find her right now," Joan of Arc said helplessly.
“In that case, leave it to me.” Li Wei thought for a moment and replied, “It shouldn’t be long before I can find her.”
"Hmm?" Joan looked at Li Wei with some surprise.
Li Wei simply took a few steps forward silently.
"The initial form of the Seven Deadly Sins - Lust/Desire seems insufficient."
The Seven Deadly Sins: Lust primarily increases Li Wei's charm, which may seem insignificant at first glance. However, the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust can actually enhance various human attributes, such as elemental affinity, rule affinity, and a host of other powerful and extraordinary benefits.
Unfortunately, all of this was of no use to the exceptionally talented Li Wei.
"A hundred forms of demons and monsters are in chaos in the vast expanse, and lust and desire proliferate in three thousand ways."
"The Seven Deadly Sins: The Two-Stage Liberation of Lust!"

PAS: Second update~ Finished writing~~~ I'll try to do double updates tomorrow and the day after (～o￣▽￣)～o...
Chapter 283 The Power of the Second Stage of Liberation
"The Seven Deadly Sins: The Two-Stage Liberation of Lust!"
In an instant, a strange power erupted from Li Wei and spread outwards, affecting all living things, from humans to cats and dogs, rats to flying insects, flowers and plants, and even... microorganisms.
"Tell me, where is that girl?"
Li Wei spoke calmly, but his tone carried an unquestionable air.
At that moment, even Joan of Arc's expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. It wasn't that Li Wei's power affected her, but standing next to him, she was deeply shocked to feel the power contained in the force he used, and the dreamlike charm that his entire being had instantly become.
Following Li Wei's words, all living beings, whether intelligent or not, seemed to develop a definite sense of self and were able to communicate with each other quickly, transcending species.
Li Wei was like casting an invisible net, within which all information and intelligence converged. No matter how shady the corner, how well hidden the person, or how skilled at concealing themselves, as long as they were within this net, they could not escape his eyes.
"Lure them," Li Wei issued another instruction.
And so, following this command, all the creatures surrounding Jack the Ripper couldn’t help but make every movement that could affect her, either sensorily or subconsciously.
This movement is so subtle that it cannot be perceived by anyone but a great sage with profound knowledge and wisdom.
To give an example, this kind of sport—
If a dog walks by and barks at you, you'll feel disgusted and want to leave quickly. Conversely, if it hisses at you, sticks out its tongue, wags its tail wildly, and looks cute, you'll often find yourself glancing at it a few more times. Of course, this isn't absolute; some people are afraid of dogs, either naturally or later in life.
However, it cannot be denied that different behaviors will have different psychological effects on people.
What Li Wei asked those beings to do was something smaller and more subtle, a behavioral suggestion that had already surpassed the comprehension of ordinary scholars.
Because it carries the influence of Li Wei's Seven Deadly Sins - Lust, this invisible influence is even stronger.
This is only because Li Wei is currently weak; if he were in his full form, the power of the Seven Deadly Sins would be even more terrifying.
"Okay, let's go."
Joan of Arc was taken aback. "You've found her location?"
"So fast?"
This speed of enemy detection is beyond Jeanne's imagination; it's even more convenient than the abilities that come with her being a Ruler.
Li Wei said irritably, "Otherwise, how long do you think it would take? I don't have the patience to search every single day."
"Eh?!"
……
Jack the Ripper was in a rather secluded house. When Li Wei brought Joan of Arc there, the already sparse pedestrians had all been driven away by Li Wei using the Seven Deadly Sins.
This is why Joan of Arc felt comfortable letting Li Wei lead the way to pursue Jack; otherwise, she would have hesitated to engage Li Wei in battle out of concern for the safety of ordinary people.
“She’s over there up ahead,” Li Wei said, pointing to a building.
Jeanne was actually quite surprised. Li Wei was not exaggerating at all. Assassin, who has the ability to conceal his presence, was indeed tracked down.
"This ability is a bit unfair," Joan of Arc muttered to herself.
Fortunately, Li Wei did not demonstrate any particularly strong combat ability or inclination in that regard; otherwise, she would have suspected that Li Wei was the real Ruler, and that she was merely there as a war correspondent.
"Let's go!" Joan of Arc was the first to be fully armed, and with a leap, she charged towards that direction.
The next moment, the sounds of fighting came from inside, and thick fog began to spread rapidly around them.
"Actually, I think there's still room for negotiation," Li Wei sighed.
"To act so quickly so late at night, aren't you going to scare the little girl?"
……
Inside the house, Jack the Ripper looked at Joan of Arc with a resentful expression, "W-why aren't you dead yet?"
Just now, during the exchange of blows, Jack took advantage of the thick fog to launch a counterattack, using her Noble Phantasm, Disintegrate Mythic, to strike Jeanne d'Arc.
The Disintegration Mother can be activated at night, in fog, and when the target is female. It can pull out the target's internal organs, turning them into a dissected corpse.
However, Joan of Arc... only let out a muffled groan, without even spitting out blood as in the original story.
To fight against the Mother of Disintegration, what is needed is not physical defense, but resistance to curses. Jeanne knew that her curse resistance was not low, but she also had a vague feeling that it was not high enough to be so high that even Jack's Noble Phantasm could hardly harm her.
Furthermore, other stats are also slightly increasing over time.
It seems... something she doesn't know is influencing and strengthening her.
"Jack the Ripper, you have violated the rules of the Holy Grail War."
Joan of Arc, holding the unfurled flag, addressed Jack the Ripper. Beside her stood a voluptuous, long-haired mature woman.
"Are you her Master? I am now punishing you in the name of Ruler."
“Mom, you go first. I’ll handle this woman,” Jack said.
Rokudou Reika, Jack's Master, nodded and said, "Jack, be careful. If you can't win, run away quickly."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
Seemingly realizing that Liu Dao Lingxia was not a magician, Jeanne hesitated for a moment, but decided to deal with Jack the Ripper first.
So she ignored the runaway Liudao Lingxia and instead poked Jack with the flag. Jack was quick and, under the cover of the thick fog, she immediately hid herself. The reason she had fought Jeanne earlier was because she was caught off guard, and also because her Master was there.
Knowing that even the disintegration of the Virgin Mary would have no effect on Joan of Arc, Jack naturally had the idea of retreating. However, she was only stalling for time here so that her mother, Liu Dao Lingxia, could run away.
……
Li Wei, who was still below and hadn't joined the battle, suddenly turned his head and stared straight in a certain direction. There, in a place that was hard to detect, was an owl made of rock, except that this owl only had one big eye.
"Have you seen enough?"
Li Wei spoke slowly, his face expressionless.
"If you haven't seen enough..."
Li Wei said coldly, "I can go over there, twist your heads off, and put them in front of me so you can look at them slowly."
After saying this, a strange light flashed across Li Wei's eyes.
With a snap, the owl familiar was torn to pieces.
the other side--
Amakusa Shiro Tokisada maintained his smile and said, "This man is dangerous."
"It looks quite interesting."
PS:
P.S.: I was thinking of writing the beginning of the second installment of my new book... I was originally planning to write the beginning of the first one, but then a seemingly more interesting beginning for the second one popped up... qwq
Chapter 284 Original Sin and Oppression
"Oh? I rarely see you so interested."
A mature female servant, dressed in a black robe, with long black hair and pointed ears, spoke to Amakusa Shirou Tokisada in a teasing tone.
This is the Assyrian Empress, a Servant summoned by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada. As the world's oldest poisoner, she possesses the extremely rare skill "Dual Summoning," which combines the skills of both Assassin and Caster classes. Her power is such that she can even rival Lancer Karna on their side.
