Chapter 323

In addition, Urd's mother is not someone to be trifled with, and there are actually some battle scenes in this anime.

For example, there's Angelmon and Belldandy's teacher, but overall the main theme here is always warm and cheerful, with very little fighting or gore.

Neither the first episode of the first season nor the opening chapters of the first volume of the manga featured any battle scenes, so what's going on with this battle? It shouldn't be happening!

Li Pu had a bad feeling. She glanced at Belldandy and noticed that Belldandy seemed to have the same expression.

No, to be precise, she seemed to have anticipated this situation.

"It looks like some evil thing has appeared on campus," Belldandy said with certainty. "Vivian is already sure, isn't she?"

"What... what's going on?" Ying Yi, who was still confused about the situation, anxiously asked the question that Li Pu most wanted to ask.

"I'm so sorry, it seems that Ying Yi- san and other innocent people have been dragged into this because of us." Belldandy said apologetically, "Because we are Goddess, we are born to be opposed to evil. Our arrival will directly provoke the local evil to attack us."

"I'm really sorry to have dragged Mr. Ying Yi into this," Belldandy said apologetically.

"Ah~ no... it's nothing." Ying Yi said, seemingly also feeling guilty. "If we're really talking about it, it's all because of me. If it weren't for my strange wish, this wouldn't have happened."

"Alright, enough of this pointless talk," Li Pu said expressionlessly. "In short, leave this to me for now!"

Since she's set up as a 'guardian-only' Battle Goddess, shouldn't she be the one to handle the battles?

So, is this reasonable? Is this reasonable? Li Pu was speechless at how incredibly reasonable this was. Is there such a setting in "My Goddess"? Is there? Yes? It's amazing that such a reasonable explanation could be found.

They've already explained why she came so quickly...

That makes perfect sense.

That makes perfect sense...

Let's put that aside for now and see what kind of enemy we're facing!

Although they hadn't met yet, this enemy gave Li Pu a strange sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before. What could it be?

Li Pu quickly found the center of the incident by weaving through the chaotic crowd.

That...

"Honkai Emperor?! This... this is ridiculous!" Li Pu was speechless. Ah... so this place really is in the same Sea of Quantum as the Honkai world? How can there be Honkai in such a place?

So is this just a random intrusion or the evil thing Belldandy mentioned?

Shouldn't this be a world of romance, warmth, and a few humorous battles?

Why is there something like Honkai here?

"What... what is that?" A voice made Li Pu feel speechless and powerless. She didn't even need to think or look to know who was calling! Keiichi Morisato, the protagonist of this story.

So what exactly is it?

A huge monster with red stripes and a white shell!

Keiichi Morisato didn't know how to describe his feelings at that moment. Regret? Shock? Or a shock to his worldview? It was probably all of them. Ying Yi's world had changed ever since that phone call last night. He realized that gods really did exist.

Belldandy's arrival made Keiichi Morisato realize that the myths he had read about might actually be true.

The enormous creature before him now reminded Keiichi Morisato that this world held many unknown dangers, and he was not as safe as he appeared.

"You idiot!" The voice of the Battle Goddess named Vivian, who looked exactly like Belldandy, pulled Keiichi Morisato back from the oppression and shock brought by this behemoth.

He heard Vivian shouting at him, seemingly enraged.

"You idiot, why did you come here?! This place is already troublesome enough, and you're just making things worse."

Her voice was filled with anger and reproach. Even Keiichi Morisato seemed to feel somewhat superfluous; faced with this unscientific phenomenon, he seemed powerless to do anything.

But...

"Although I don't know exactly what I can do, I think I can help." As someone who is considered a good-natured person who cares about the safety of others and has strong willpower and action, Ying Yi can understand Vivian's anger, but he feels even more that he shouldn't be the one being protected.

Although the enemy was powerful and unlike anything he had ever seen before, he himself was the root cause of all this, perhaps even the most direct cause.

I have to do something myself instead of just sitting in the back and being well protected by Belldandy and Vivian.

"Vivian." At this moment, Belldandy appeared beside Vivian, saying firmly and encouragingly, "Although I am not Battle Goddess, I am still a first-class Goddess. More importantly, I cannot watch my sister fight for me while I can do nothing."

"Trust me and Ying Yi- san, maybe we can help in some way."

'If you can really help, then please protect your Ying Yi- san.' Li Pu thought to himself.

'This Honkai Emperor doesn't look like an ordinary Honkai Emperor.'

After being enhanced, its combat potential has far exceeded that of a regular Honkai Beast Honkai Emperor.

"Alright." Li Pu took out his Curry Stick and said, "Just be careful, this is no ordinary Honkai Beast."

"It should be very strong!"

To encounter such a formidable enemy right from the start, Li Pu is truly impressed!

Chapter 365 The Game is About Reskinning

If we're talking about what game developers are most likely to cut corners on, it's definitely the villains.

Game developers usually don't put much effort into developing minor enemies. They can simply change the appearance of the same model and add some different data to turn an ordinary enemy into a powerful one.

Therefore, the game is essentially a reskinned version...

Ah, I've gone off on a tangent.

Back to the present, this reskinned Honkai Emperor is clearly either a top-tier boss or the absolute pinnacle of miscellaneous enemies.

There's no need to test anything anymore; given the current situation, it's best to end this quickly.

Li Pu glanced at Belldandy and Ying Yi. Belldandy was hard to predict, but Ying Yi was currently a hindrance; the faster they dealt with her, the fewer variables there would be. They could just end the battle quickly with the Curry Stick!

Li Pu drew his Holy Sword and charged forward.

With a leap, he soared high into the air and delivered a powerful downward strike to the Honkai Beast! The longsword slammed heavily into the Honkai Emperor's strange, diamond-shaped head.

However...

"So hard!"

I originally thought that even if it was the Honkai Emperor, with a different skin, it would still be a weakling that I could easily kill with one sword. But now, after I struck it, the Honkai Emperor didn't react at all except for the tingling sensation in my hand.

'This is no ordinary enemy!'

This was definitely not the kind of ordinary Honkai Beast she had encountered before, and even now, it seemed that this Honkai Beast could not be understood using the same principles as in the previous world or in the game.

As if to confirm Li Pu's conjecture, countless red rays of light converged on the head of this Honkai Emperor.

A massive torrent of power was completed in the blink of an eye.

"Retreat! "Li Pu jumped back quickly; she absolutely couldn't take this head-on. Just as she landed, that torrent of power shot towards Li Pu like a laser beam!

"Excalibur!" Without the slightest hesitation, Li Pu immediately chose to unleash the true name of his Noble Phantasm. He charged forward with the Curry Stick -like Holy Sword Cannon! Golden light collided with red light.

In that instant when these forces collided, the sky changed color and the earth trembled!

"This! This!!!" Ying Yi was thrown to the ground by the impact of the collision. If it weren't for Belldandy standing in front of him and using her own power to create a shield to block the impact, Ying Yi.

Even with this shield, he still couldn't withstand the shock brought by the impact of this power.

Is this Goddess? Is this the god from mythology? If you don't experience it firsthand, you may never truly understand the awe-inspiring power this kind of force can bring!

"Belldandy!"

Once the clash of forces subsided, Ying Yi noticed Belldandy's exhaustion. It seemed that shielding him from the impact had drained a significant amount of Belldandy strength. Ying Yi called out worriedly, "Belldandy, are you alright?"

I knew I shouldn't have come along; it seems I've dragged Vivian down as well as Belldandy.

"I'm alright." Belldandy's breathing became rapid, but she still forced herself to stay alert and said, "It's good that Ying Yi- san isn't injured."

"I'm sorry, Belldandy," Ying Yi said with remorse. "I shouldn't have insisted on coming along. If I had listened to Belldandy, I wouldn't have been a burden to Vivian and Belldandy."

"Belldandy! Watch out for the enemy!" Li Pu was really starting to despair of those two.

Wait... is it progressing that fast? Ah... it's not a matter of progress, the problem is there's a war here! A life-or-death battle! Are you two really okay showing off your love here?

We'll see! You two! This is seriously a hilarious romance anime!

Oh well, it's good to have such a formidable enemy right after arriving here.

"They really think highly of me," Li Pu said through gritted teeth. "I thought he was just some nobody."

Previously, unleashing the Holy Sword Cannon was basically a one-hit kill, but I never expected that this Honkai Emperor could not only withstand the Holy Sword but also achieve a draw in the clash of beams! This is the Holy Sword! A genuine Excalibur.

"This is... terrible!" Before Li Pu could even make a move, the Honkai Emperor had already launched the next round of attacks.

Suddenly, five or six lightsabers appeared around him, circled a few times, and then slammed heavily into the ground.

Which move was it?! Although this Honkai Emperor used a skill not found in the game, it still seemed to have the basics: launching an attack from underground using a lightsaber. The red circle that appeared beneath its feet as the lightsaber struck the ground was proof of that!

She immediately dodged, her agile, monkey-like movements causing all of the Honkai Emperor's continuous attacks to miss, none of them managing to hit her.

When the Honkai Emperor realized it couldn't hit Li Pu, it shifted its attack to Belldandy and Ying Yi, who seemed weaker. The lightsaber plunged into the ground, launching another round of attacks from below.

Belldandy could clearly notice the Honkai Emperor's actions, but Ying Yi couldn't. Even if he could notice the red circle under his feet and know that it was an attack, he still couldn't.

However, as an ordinary human being, he was unable to react, and his body was completely unable to move. He could only watch as a red light rose from beneath his feet like a piece of wood.

Just then, a dark shadow flashed past him, and in the next second, the scene changed; he was transported from the broken road to a green belt. He then realized what was happening and cried out urgently, "Belldandy!"

"Ying Yi- san!" Belldandy was right beside her, lying on the grass in a somewhat disheveled state.

"Hey! Can't you two see what's going on?!" Li Pu finally couldn't hold back anymore. Adding a serious, action-packed element to a comedic, heartwarming romance was definitely a mistake. These two protagonists were constantly showering each other with affection, while he was the only one still fighting for his life.

'But isn't Belldandy First-class God? Logically, she should be one of the most powerful characters in the series, right?'

Li Pu really wanted to ask Belldandy what was going on, but she immediately gave up. Asking probably wouldn't be of much use; character settings aren't always a reliable indicator of a character's true strength.

Theoretically, Belldandy's power is so great that a portion of it had to be sealed off, otherwise the human world couldn't withstand it. However, judging from the anime's portrayal...

Belldandy's combat strength and stamina are both lacking, but her healing ability is exceptionally good.

Forget it, Li Pu really doesn't expect this non-combat Goddess to be of much help now.

"Never mind, let's protect ourselves first." With that, Li Pu stood up again and faced the Honkai Emperor, saying, "This outfit is not suitable for combat."

Belldandy's outfit consists of an outer layer that looks like a trench coat, over which is a low-cut dress. While aesthetically pleasing, it's highly impractical for combat.

"Vivian!" Belldandy suddenly called out anxiously, using the pseudonym Li Pu was currently using.

"Take care of yourself!" Li Pu took off her rather inconvenient coat, then used her sword to cut her skirt down to mid-thigh. She resumed her attack stance and said, "The enemy is still very difficult to deal with."

I was a bit careless, but thinking back, the Honkai Emperor in the game is quite a difficult opponent.

However, there is a setting in the game that can kill these Honkai Beasts in one hit! And this setting is also carried over here. At the same time, this weakness is not only useful in stealth mode like in the game, but can be used in any state.

As long as you can attack that fatal weakness, you'll succeed. She had tried this technique in simulation battles, and it should be applicable in real combat as well.

This weakness is usually located behind the Honkai Beast!

How can I get around to the back of this guy?

Li Pu moved his feet, calculating. A single Honkai Beast without Herrscher's command isn't stupid; it won't easily expose its back to her. Therefore, if he wanted to attack from behind, he had to find a way to lure this guy into exposing its back to her.

' The Honkai Emperor seems to have three skills: he just attacked from underground, then he did a lightsaber cross attack and a charge, and now he might have a laser cannon as well.'

'However, if he realizes that his skill helmet isn't particularly effective, he'll probably choose to charge.'

That's a ranged attack!

Li Pu unleashed the Demon-Breaking Red Rose! With all his might, the Demon-Breaking Red Rose left a trail of red light in the air, striking the Honkai Emperor like a tracer bullet. And then... and then nothing happened.

The Honkai Emperor survived, which was all within Li Pu's expectations. She didn't expect to take down the Honkai Beast in one shot.

All you need to do is attract the attention of the Honkai Emperor and make him rush up on his own.

With each all-out attack, Li Pu's strategy quickly began to take effect. While the Honkai Emperor felt that Belldandy and Ying Yi were easier to deal with, Li Pu put more pressure on him! Although she hadn't broken through his armor yet, her attacks were precisely aimed at the Honkai Emperor's defensive limits. Especially her long-range spear throws, whose accuracy was so high that each attack landed perfectly in the same spot as the previous one.

If it doesn't work the first time, but if you try a few more times, your armor will be broken!

Ranged attacks took too long to be dodged, while faster melee attacks were completely out of range. After several missteps, the Honkai Emperor quickly chose what it believed to be the best strategy.

Charge!

It held several lightsabers horizontally around itself, suddenly began to spin rapidly, and charged towards Li Pu!

"Now!" Li Pu had been waiting for this attack, focusing all her energy on the Honkai Beast. This was a game of life and death; the Honkai Emperor was much more agile, and after a charge, there was no cooldown period for being unable to move. Once it got close, it would unleash a charge combo—a single melee skill.

You only get one chance!
