Just an instant?
Einstein silently recorded it. Lin Nai possessed a power that could instantly increase his speed.
Welt slammed into the ground and skidded away.
The redness on his face was visible to the naked eye.
"Hiss..."
Welt sucked in a sharp breath. He had miscalculated. He had thought such a small child could not possibly possess much strength.
That roundhouse kick had felt like being hit by a chariot-class Honkai Beast's meaty chicken strike!
It hurt like hell!
"Looks like I miscalculated." Welt rubbed his face and got to his feet.
Star of Eden reappeared.
Welt flew into the air, using Herrscher power to activate the Mimic Star of Eden. Dozens of gravity beams shot outward from the Star of Eden.
However, he tried to avoid Lin Nai's position and deliberately slowed the energy beams.
This move could even take down an Emperor-class Honkai Beast.
It would be bad if it hit Lin Nai.
Anyone with sense would know to dodge, right?
Then he could dive down and give that kid a charged punch!
Just a little revenge.
Come on, people said not to hit someone in the face, yet that brat had kicked him right in the face with a roundhouse!
Young man! No martial virtue! He had nearly ruined his face!
Except...
The next second, he saw something terrifying.
Lin Nai had no intention of dodging at all.
"Fuck! Damn it! Kid! Move! You can't take that thing head-on!!"
Tesla slammed her food bowl onto the table, hurriedly rose to her feet, and shouted.
Einstein sprang to her feet as well.
Kiana and Bronya watched from the side, somewhat worried. Tesla and Einstein rarely reacted like that.
"Lin Nai!!"
Lin Nai's expression remained calm. Looking at the incoming beams, he directly swung his arm!
Bang!!
Boom!!!
The attacking beams were instantly knocked aside and blasted into the ground behind him.
"Huh?" *3
Welt, Tesla, and Einstein were dumbfounded on the spot.
Wait, he just knocked them away?!
What kind of defense was that?!
Even an S-rank Valkyrie like Theresa would not dare take that move head-on, would she?!
How the hell did that kid knock it away?!
Lin Nai: Power of Ultraman, old man!
Lin Nai shouted, bending his left arm with his fist clenched while extending his right arm horizontally, gathering energy in a T-shaped cross.
Then he placed his left fist against his right wrist, swung it over his head to complete the energy conversion, and fired a high-heat beam from his right wrist in an L-shaped pose!
A blazing orange-red beam shot forth in an instant!
Welt's expression changed drastically. He had a bad feeling—if that thing so much as grazed him, he would be finished!
It was instinct.
His instincts were screaming warnings at him!
Crap! Was he really about to become Yang Sit-Up Power (sad)!
Looking at the incoming beam, Welt was so frightened that he constructed ten Anti-Entropy mechs in one breath.
Defense deployed!
Then...
Boom boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Every mech exploded.
Welt himself was blasted backward by the explosions, though he had indeed avoided the Quantum Stream.
Welt: I think I saw my big brother (Joyce) waving at me from the other side of the river...
Tesla below was stunned.
Ten stacked together still could not withstand a single beam?!
No way!
Was that kid actually planning to dismantle her mechs later?!
Fuck!
Lin Nai: Road Roller Da!
Welt's expression was complicated.
Originally, Einstein had asked him to test a child's combat ability.
He had not thought much of it.
After all, he was currently undercover at St. Freya Academy, founded by that ageless old hag who loved docking employee wages—not Theresa the magical girl.
He had seen quite a few Valkyries there as well.
There had been no shortage of exceptionally gifted ones!
But!
He could say that in all his life, he had never seen anything this absurd.
Valkyries could not fire that kind of beam.
His instincts told him that if he took one hit from that thing, he really would become Yang Sit-Up Power.
Then he would have to build another body (sad).
No choice. He had to get serious!
Welt's gaze turned solemn. He steadied himself, then saw Lin Nai charging upward from below.
Welt: ???
This kid could fly too?
Of course Lin Nai could not fly, but his strength stat was high enough that he could simply jump up with force.
Welt's brief daze did not make Lin Nai hesitate. He raised both hands high!
Welt instinctively crossed his arms in front of his chest.
In fact, that instinctive reaction was correct.
Lin Nai clasped both hands together and smashed them down fiercely!
Bang!!
The sound of tearing air rang out.
Welt plummeted like a meteor!
He crashed into the ground like a cannonball!
Boom!!!!
Welt put on a mask of pain. Was that kid really human?
Random Item: Herrscher of Reason Core
Lin Nai: ???
Huh?
This thing could be rolled too?
Lin Nai looked down at Welt crawling out of the ground below with a complicated expression.
Did that mean he could give this thing to Duck Duck?
Lin Nai rubbed his chin. Giving it to her now would not really work. Bronya was still too weak.
And her knowledge base was also...
Oh, she should probably know more than him.
Bronya was much smarter than he was, and with her background as an assassin...
Bronya was definitely proficient with firearms and the like.
Still, Lin Nai planned to wait until Bronya had studied with Tesla and Einstein for a while before giving her the Core.
If she used it now, Bronya would only be able to make guns.
And guns were not much use against Honkai Beasts.
Since Lin Nai was in free fall and Welt was standing on the ground, Welt waited for Lin Nai to land.
After all, Lin Nai could not fly.
"I feel like Lin Nai is thinking about something incredible..."
Einstein narrowed her eyes slightly.
Tesla tilted her head and turned to look. "Huh? Lin Nai? What incredible thing could he possibly be thinking abou—holy shit! What is that thing!!"
Before Tesla could finish speaking, she saw Lin Nai suddenly holding up a road roller in midair.
How had that thing appeared?!
"Road Roller Da!!"
Lin Nai shouted as he held the road roller and smashed it down toward Welt!!
Welt: ???
If he had not seen wrong, was the effect when that road roller appeared the same as the construction authority of his Herrscher of Reason?!
What was going on with that kid?!
But now was obviously not the time to sit around waiting for death. It would be disastrous if that thing came down on him!
Since he already knew Lin Nai could emerge unscathed beneath gravity beams, he could loosen up a little!
Welt immediately used Herrscher power to activate the "Mimic Star of Eden," producing several black gravity spheres around him.
The next moment! Each gravity sphere fired several beams at the enemy!
Boom boom boom!!!
The road roller exploded!
