Chapter 048: Before the Final Battle

Faced with the trap set by the Spring Goddess, Wang Bo was already well-versed in such matters and immediately shook his head, saying, "No, mine is a bit smaller."

"You are a kind child, so I will give you this gem." The Spring Goddess smiled faintly, handed Wang Bo the larger Resurrection Stone, and then took her leave.

Wang Bo took the enlarged Resurrection Stone and examined it carefully, finding that after the Spring Goddess's blessing, the stone had indeed been upgraded.

However, the upgraded Resurrection Stone only added one more chance of resurrection.

In other words, the upgraded stone could provide three chances of resurrection. Although the improvement was modest, Wang Bo was not greedy, as every chance at resurrection was precious.

So he was quite satisfied with this upgrade.

Moreover, the Twelve Trials had a benefit: as long as one was not completely killed, the chances of resurrection would gradually recover over time.

Simply put, if Wang Bo encountered an invincible enemy today and was killed nine times,

as long as he could escape, after a few days, the consumed resurrection chances would be replenished.

By then, Wang Bo would have twelve lives again. That was formidable.

And the Resurrection Stone that Wang Bo duplicated using the Copy Mirror seemed to have the same property: as long as he was not killed more than three times, he could regain his lives after a few days.

In many worlds, this would be a treasure among treasures.

Although Wang Bo's Spartan bloodline granted him high-speed regeneration, combined with Superman's ability to recover quickly by absorbing sunlight, making him hard to kill, that did not mean he was invincible.

After all, he was still an ordinary person; when facing powerful enemies, he could still be killed.

Thus, having the Twelve Trials was an excellent trump card for Wang Bo.

Therefore, Wang Bo unceremoniously shattered the Twelve Trials, applied it to himself, and obtained the Noble Phantasm Twelve Trials.

In an instant, Wang Bo felt eleven vast life forces surge within him. Combined with his own life force, they formed the Twelve Trials.

More importantly, the Twelve Trials inherently possessed powerful defensive capabilities.

To be precise, the Twelve Trials could turn the user's body into a resilient armor, nullifying all normal attacks below B-rank, whether physical or magical.

This compensated for Wang Bo's weakness in magical defense. The convergence of these two forces gave Wang Bo's body another leap in improvement. Feeling the immense power within, Wang Bo even wanted to charge into the White Witch's lair right then and fight her with all his might, sending her back to where she came from.

But he quickly suppressed his restless urge.

Although he had obtained the Twelve Trials, a resurrection Noble Phantasm, and his physical abilities had further improved, he did not believe he could defeat the White Witch just yet.

Wang Bo was not convinced, so this time he needed to plan carefully.

The next day, Wang Bo appeared in person at the Spider Team's base for the first time, gathered them together, and handed each of them a Resurrection Stone.

Gwen looked at the stone in her hand and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

She had seen Wang Bo in her dreams, so she was not overly startled; compared to Wang Bo's face, her attention was focused on the Resurrection Stone, feeling that it was no ordinary object.

As for the others, they did not really care much.

Because in their eyes, Wang Bo was ever-changing; today he had simply put on another face. No one realized that the person standing before them was not a mechanical soldier.

But Wang Bo himself.

"I call this the Resurrection Stone. Its function is simple: while granting you powerful defense, it also gives you a chance to resurrect."

Everyone was startled. Miles exclaimed in disbelief, "My God, are you serious? This gem-like thing can actually bring people back to life?"

"Yes." Wang Bo nodded and added, "It's genuine."

Everyone marveled. Although they already knew of Wang Bo's origins and wonders, they had not expected him to possess such mysterious items.

And he had brought six at once.

This implied he had even more in stock.

In fact, they guessed correctly. With the Copy Mirror in hand, Wang Bo could produce as many Resurrection Stones as he wanted.

That was why Wang Bo generously gave six to the Spider Team.

Silver Sable toyed with the Resurrection Stone in her hand and asked, "How do we use this?"

"Just shatter it," Wang Bo said.

"That simple?" Silver Sable was a bit surprised.

"I thought we had to eat it," Miles joked, but no one laughed.

Everyone shattered their Resurrection Stones and felt the life force of three extra people within them, meaning each of them could resurrect three times.

After three times, it was all over.

Wang Bo solemnly reminded everyone of this.

Silver Sable said, "If you're giving away something so precious, it seems you're planning to move against the White Witch."

"Exactly." Wang Bo nodded.

He now had the Twelve Trials, the Spider Team had resurrection chances, and their combat coordination had become more seamless. Wang Bo felt it was time to defeat the White Witch and send her back.

"When do we strike?"

"Tonight." Wang Bo made up his mind.

"What time?"

"Dinner time."

"You're the boss; you call the shots." Silver Sable smiled, showing no fear of the upcoming battle, even against the White Witch who could freeze an entire world.

After all, she had a mysterious boss.

Hearing that the final battle would be fought tonight, everyone perked up. Wang Bo pulled out a blackboard, wrote and drew on it, explaining the tactics for the night.

Finally, Wang Bo turned to Silver Sable and asked, "Is there anything you want to add?"

Silver Sable thought for a moment, then overturned most of Wang Bo's plan and devised a new one centered on Wang Bo, leaving him dumbfounded.

He had to admit that Silver Sable's tactics were indeed better than his.

He was just an ordinary person, completely outclassed by Silver Sable in this regard. "Alright, we'll follow Silver Sable's plan. If anyone has questions, speak up now, and Silver Sable will explain."

Everyone shook their heads, as Silver Sable's explanation had been very thorough.

Wang Bo glanced at the time and found that after the detailed briefing, it was already approaching evening. He stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Everyone, get ready. We move out now."
