You Have a New Job (Continued)
"Hmm!"
Ninti struggled to control the machine god, digesting the power of that punch, and gritted her teeth inwardly.
'He's incredibly strong, like a monster. Even when he was at his weakest, I was still outmatched.'
'But it was expected. Ever since my rebirth, I've considered you my most threatening peak. This level of difficulty is to be expected!'
'Having come this far, let me see just how insurmountable this mountain truly is!'
Ninti took a deep breath, mustered her strength, and flew towards Kevin, who had just regained his footing.
"Bang!"
"Bang!!!"
Lacking technique and strategy, Ninti could only resort to the simplest and most brutal methods of attack: punches and kicks.
Kevin easily parried these powerful punches and kicks, and even offered sincere advice:
"You should learn some combat skills; don't waste such strong physical abilities."
"Kevin!"
Ninti didn't say anything unnecessary. At this moment, she could only express her anger to the fullest, launching an attack even more swiftly and powerfully as if she had lost her mind.
The overwhelming swarms of aircraft, the colossal giants, and the relentlessly raging glaciers consumed each other.
Kevin endured Ninti's direct attacks without retaliating, simply letting Ninti vent her anger.
This game-like battle continued for a while, then Ninti realized that she couldn't force Kevin to use more of his power, so she withdrew and channeled her power into the mechanical giant that could hold more Honkai Energy.
Intense light emanated from the machine god, which clasped its hands together, transforming into a colossal cannon of unprecedented size.
"Buzz—Buzz—Buzz—"
"Boom!!!"
White light, in its ability to decompose and purify all things, blooms in the Sea of Quantum.
Kevin stared at the oncoming torrent of light, his pupils contracting.
"The power to resist Honkai Energy?"
The eerie aura that seemed familiar sent a chill down Kevin's spine.
Immediately, endless black ice surged and roared, swirling and converging into an even larger black torrent, which met it head-on.
"——"
After a brief moment of loss of voice, the terrifying aftershocks swept across thousands of miles, annihilating all the surrounding suspended matter.
"Not just anti- Honkai Energy, but also the power of disintegration and annihilation... a combination of the Moonlight Throne and the Seven Thunders of Sin Cleansing?"
Kevin analyzed the form of power Ninti used and became even more excited about her potential.
In the midst of the intense clash of energy, Kevin, with his enhanced power, managed to block it unscathed, looking almost exactly the same as before.
Meanwhile, Ninti was panting heavily, fine beads of sweat sliding down her fair forehead, her strength waning.
In theory, if Kevin were to perform the same operation on Ninti as Welt did at this moment, he could obtain the Herrscher Core, return to the real world, and carry out and face his destiny.
But Kevin stared at Ninti's small figure for half a second, then his gaze silently shifted to the towering, boundless mechanical behemoth behind her.
'An object formed from the highly condensed power of Herrscher should, in theory, have roughly the same function as Herrscher Core, right?'
He's not some kind of golden-plated streetlight king. Kevin's morality and intellect are still within the normal range. If his past experiences hadn't already made him heartbroken, he might even be a good person like Welt.
Therefore, it is impossible for Ninti to give him her heart.
Kevin fixed his gaze on the colossus standing in the void, a faint glow from the Honkai Energy emanating from his eyes, like ice, like a lake, clear yet carrying a terrifying sense of oppression.
"Ta-da!"
In the real world, on Cocolia's flagship, the sound of someone nervously and impatiently shaking their leg could be heard.
Cocolia was gently comforting her precious Seele, barely managing to suppress the urge to grope her and her drooling, when she heard the noise. Suddenly, she turned on the culprit with a cold, displeased glare. She raised her foot, her hard high heel slamming into the culprit's knee with a loud thud.
"Ugh!!!"
Siegfried hugged his leg and started hopping around on one foot.
After finally suppressing the pain of almost suffering a comminuted fracture of his knee, Siegfried said with a dark face:
"What are you doing, Cocolia!?"
"It's nothing, you're disturbing my thinking."
"Huh? You..."
"Shh! Please shut your mouth. The moment you open your mouth, the stupidity you exude almost suffocates me. I'll say it again, I'm thinking, don't disturb me."
Just as Siegfried was about to explode, Cocolia pressed her pistol against his forehead, cooling his foolish, hot-blooded Kaslana with the icy heat of the metal.
Siegfried gave a French military salute and smiled innocently to indicate that he was harmless.
Then Cocolia put away her pistol, lowered her head, and her previous cold and grumpy expression was replaced by tenderness and affection as she stroked Seele's head and said:
"Seele, don't be afraid. Come on, let's get to know each other. This is Siegfried Kaslana, a fool. Just remember, if you ever run into trouble and he happens to be around, just throw him out to take the fall."
"Siegfried... Uncle?"
Seele peeked out from Cocolia's arms and whispered weakly.
Siegfried was furious at Cocolia's words, and his face darkened instantly.
However, faced with Seele's innocent and naive appearance, he ultimately switched to his usual cheerful smile:
"Hey, I'm Uncle Siegfried. Just like your mother said, if you ever have any trouble, don't hesitate to come to me! I'm a very strong uncle!"
"Hello Uncle Siegfried, I'm Seele, it's nice... nice to meet you."
"I'm happy as long as you're happy, hahaha! Speaking of which, while things are still relatively calm, why don't you take the kids a little further away, so they won't be hard to take care of if war really breaks out later? Don't worry, I'm here!"
Siegfried pounded his chest, looking confident and triumphant.
Cocolia looked at the bewildered Seele, then at the energetic Siegfried, and finally nodded slowly.
"Good."
"That's right, you can rest assured, Kaslana and the Heavenly Fire Judgment are invincible!"
Siegfried patted the ancestral twin pistols at his waist, revealing a confident smile.
Cocolia paused as she turned to leave, her back to Siegfried, and her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.
Kaslana Heavenly Fire Judgment is indeed invincible—but the problem is, this Kaslana isn't Siegfried!
The truly invincible Kaslana is still on her way. I hope you can smile with that same confidence later.
