The ability that allows the caster to turn anyone who sees it into their puppet!
This is the most direct introduction to Kotoamatsukami.
Of course, in many situations, Kotoamatsukami's effects are quite restrained due to various conditions.
Not to mention, Lin Ran's Kotoamatsukami has some differences compared to the legitimate Kotoamatsukami used by Shisui.
This is probably the price of power crossing worlds...
However, even if Lin Ran's Kotoamatsukami might not reach the perfect effect of directly invading the opponent's brain without them noticing, modifying their will, and controlling them unconsciously, it can still achieve some basic functions.
This is not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, despite its immense power, has an extremely long cooldown, often taking over a decade, basically making it a one-time skill.
Whereas Lin Ran's, as long as its complex prerequisites are met, cooldowns are a minor issue, mere child's play.
The so-called prerequisites are that in this world, when you want to activate Kotoamatsukami, you will receive a mission from the changes.
The missions received will vary depending on the connection between the caster and the target, as well as the difference in their strength.
For example, if Lin Ran were to use Kotoamatsukami on a rabbit, the prerequisite might be as simple as feeding it a carrot.
If it were to be used on a fifth-tier awakened person, the prerequisite might become something like controlling their body and suppressing their spirit first.
As for facing Adam Heavy-Hammer at this moment, it's even more interesting.
It not only requires him to activate his core usage to 100% but also requires his emotions and the surrounding atmosphere to reach a delicate tipping point, and he must be gradually enticed to increase his investment of power, which is quite troublesome.
However, compared to the actual benefits gained from this skill, those things are truly nothing...
Forced manipulation!
Even if the effect may not be perfect, as long as there is even a little bit of it, Lin Ran can gradually refine it to perfection over time...
What's more, the target of Lin Ran's Kotoamatsukami is not Adam Heavy-Hammer's physical body.
What he is targeting is the Eternal Crystal within Adam Heavy-Hammer, which he had long ago imprinted with ownership!
And this Kotoamatsukami is actually a pincer attack, an inside-out collaboration!
When the Eternal Crystal first appeared, Lin Ran, with swift hands, used the Transcription Seal to engrave a Kotoamatsukami onto it.
Now that the conditions for the Transcription Seal to trigger were met, the Kotoamatsukami naturally activated directly.
Coupled with the Kotoamatsukami that Lin Ran is now releasing from the outside, this powerful will modification instantly envelops the entire Eternal Crystal.
As a result, the spiritual imprints that Adam Heavy-Hammer used to communicate with all collapsed with a whoosh.
For a divine object like the Eternal Crystal, it is clear that it has already developed a partial self-awareness and spirit within its body.
Under the effect of Lin Ran's Kotoamatsukami, its spirit was directly and forcefully swayed to Lin Ran's side, becoming an ultra-loyal fan of Lin Ran.
This naturally caused the Eternal Crystal to instantly sever all connection with Adam Heavy-Hammer and withdraw all the energy it had previously transmitted to him.
Divine Might!
Exhausted by the powerful drain of Kotoamatsukami, Lin Ran quickly braced himself with the Ring of Souls and forcefully unleashed another burst of Divine Might.
The target of this Divine Might was naturally the Eternal Crystal, which was now completely on Lin Ran's side.
Since the Eternal Crystal was now Lin Ran's possession, it naturally would not resist Lin Ran's power and obediently followed Lin Ran's spatial vortex, being stored within the Divine Might space.
He didn't want anyone to know that he had stolen the Eternal Crystal...
Such an act that would draw hatred, if it could be concealed, Lin Ran would naturally not miss the opportunity.
Having reaped great benefits, Lin Ran turned his gaze back to the arena.
At this moment, Adam Heavy-Hammer was still in the midst of his arrogant charge, clearly intending to obliterate Lin Ran with this single sword strike.
Adam Heavy-Hammer was supremely confident that, given Lin Ran's current defensive capabilities, he could never withstand his fully charged, all-out attack.
In just ten more seconds, everything would be over!
And everything that Lin Ran had manipulated just now was completed in the blink of an eye, the process being extremely smooth.
Whether it was the release of the two ocular techniques or the skillful snatching of the Eternal Crystal, it was all done at extreme speed.
So much so that Adam Heavy-Hammer on the other side had not even noticed for a long time after the Eternal Crystal had disappeared.
It was precisely because of Adam Heavy-Hammer's current daze that Lin Ran regained the initiative!
Facing Adam Heavy-Hammer, who lacked even the most basic energy core and was only barely standing due to the inertia of his giant mecha, Lin Ran showed no mercy and delivered a powerful kick with the large foot of his Susanoo.
Dong!
This kick directly kicked Adam Heavy-Hammer out of his fantasy and into reality. At the same time, he realized that he couldn't exert any strength whatsoever.
???
What's going on?!
Why is my body not obeying me?!
Why has all my energy dissipated?!
Why is my mecha experiencing a full-scale paralysis?!
Most importantly, why can't I feel any energy circulation from the Eternal Crystal, which serves as my energy core, within my body?!
Could this seemingly omnipotent artifact falter at such a crucial moment?
At this moment, with almost all of his internal energy lost, Adam Heavy-Hammer's perception was so poor that it was almost negligible. He had no idea that the Eternal Crystal had disappeared.
As a result, he still believed that there was a problem with the way the Eternal Crystal worked.
However, wasn't the Eternal Crystal's own defensive power and resistance at all levels supposed to be invincible, almost immune to everything?!
How could Lin Ran, an ordinary mortal, possess the means to block the energy transmission of the Eternal Crystal?!
However, the problem shouldn't be too big. As long as his main body suffers a large-scale impact, the emergency mechanism within the Eternal Crystal will definitely rush out and protect him, regardless of the cost.
Even if Lin Ran managed to achieve temporary shielding, he couldn't possibly achieve constant shielding!
This was Adam Heavy-Hammer's last thought before his demise.
