Collapse, Cross-Dressing Strategy Kiana, Then

The wind, stirred up by Bai Yan earlier, churned the area.

At this moment, the bullets had crushed the last support, and the black fabric slowly slid down.

A beautiful face was revealed, with a slightly stunned expression.

In the distance, Bronya put away her gun, inwardly annoyed that she had missed her shot at the powerful enemy.

After the chip in her head burned out, she was locked up by Cocolia.

In the prison, Bronya had barely recovered before she immediately began her escape.

She had left a contingency on the Heavy Cannon Rabbit; all she needed to do was crush the transmitter stuck to her shoe, and it would activate its autonomous function and come find her.

Cocolia had vanished without a trace, likely having fled.

Bronya recalled the moment she had just burned the chip.

She had maintained consciousness for a period and heard what Bai Yan said when he was captured.

Only when the two were taken away did she fall into a deep sleep.

She had also followed the fluctuations of the battle, observing the situation in the clearing from afar, and later followed the chase.

Finally, at this moment, she had taken aim to snipe the powerful enemy.

She missed!

Bronya decided to retreat quickly.

However, the enemy did not pursue her as expected.

Their attention wasn't even on her.

Everyone braced themselves, lowering their bodies slightly, warily guarding against Kiana.

Following their gaze, Bronya saw Kiana.

She too froze.

Through the scope, Kiana was staring blankly at Feather Rabbit, her pupils flickering, struggling between blue and gold.

She murmured, "Cecilia… Mom…

"Ich liebe dich…"

In an instant, the confusion on the girl's face slowly faded, replaced by a smile.

That smile hid the bloodlust to slaughter all living beings and contained the tyranny to destroy the world.

The pure white Valkyrie battlesuit slowly vanished.

The Void Lance appeared, accompanying her.

The Herrscher Armor had a faint, semi-transparent quality, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

"Heh, hahaha…"

She laughed, covering half her face as if she had seen the most ridiculous scene in the world.

A moment later, she slowly removed her hand and looked at Feather Rabbit.

"I truly didn't expect someone like you to exist."

She turned to Bai Yan, her golden eyes flashing.

He had already retreated dozens of meters, carrying Rita.

"...Xiao Yan, why are you running so far? Aren't we, sworn friends who fight side by side?"

The seemingly resentful words were spoken in the most terrifying tone.

Bai Yan felt his scalp tingle, his heart pounded, and a chill ran down his spine.

"This is a bit troublesome…" Feather Rabbit said with a headache.

She gripped her spear, assuming a stance ready to fight the Herrscher of the Void.

At this moment, Bronya activated the Heavy Cannon Rabbit and rushed to Bai Yan's side at full speed.

"Sister Xiao Yan, your weapon!"

"Bronya?" Bai Yan exclaimed, then took the short sword Bronya handed him.

"There's no time to explain, be careful of that one!"

Everyone braced themselves, their previous stance vanishing the moment the Herrscher of the Void appeared.

Bai Yan gritted his teeth, picked up Rita, and said to Bronya, "Hold Rita for me."

Bronya nodded and took her.

The Heavy Cannon Rabbit extended several mechanical arms, lifting Rita.

Bai Yan put down Rita's great scythe and held his short sword.

The Herrscher of the Void's gaze was fixed on Bai Yan.

"Do you think you have any chance of winning, my foolish other half?"

"No."

"Then it's better to stand there obediently and don't move. I'll make sure you don't feel any pain."

"No."

"Oh?"

"Because," Bai Yan raised his sword, pointing directly at the Herrscher of the Void, "I want to try."

A cruel smile appeared on the Herrscher of the Void's lips.

Just as she was about to attack, her expression suddenly changed. The Void Gate opened, and she was instantly pulled in.

The next moment.

Fu Hua, fully armed, lunged at empty air. She then adjusted her stance and slowly descended, vigilantly observing the void.

"Classmate?" Bronya asked in surprise.

"Mm."

Bai Yan let out a sigh of relief, looking at that retreating figure.

It seemed Otto's contingency plan was her.

Volume 1: Chapter 53: I Just Want to Guard Against Feather Rabbit

The Herrscher of the Void stared at Fu Hua, unpleasant memories flooding her mind.

Her gaze became serious, and no other opponent remained in her sight.

A fake, a weak half-body, a bunch of scrap metal, and a shorty with a broken leg—these were nothing to worry about.

Only this one!

She could kill herself with one sword!

Can't be careless, gotta be steady.

Strength comes from being steady, and steadiness leads to strength.

"When you see an opponent who has defeated you, painful memories will surge to the surface. At this moment, you need to tell yourself: I've lost too many times in this situation. But, stay calm! Fight well, and you can win this time!"

Bai Yan's words—though spoken to Kiana—now echoed in the Herrscher of the Void's ears.

She immediately shook her head.

Why would this queen listen to her! So childish!

The others on the field tacitly retreated, leaving only the two of them facing off.

The next moment.

Fu Hua's fists and feet glowed yellow as she assumed her enlightenment stance.

Almost simultaneously, the Void Lance shot out.

Clang, clang, clang!

Fist shadows and spear rain intertwined instantly, and the intense collision immediately brought the battle to a boil.

One of them had a huge gap in Collapse Energy, while the other was half-crippled, relying on her battlesuit to stay strong.

Furthermore, both had temporarily held back some of their strength, resulting in a back-and-forth fight.

The Herrscher of the Void would occasionally teleport, forcing Fu Hua to stop her punches and pursue.

Bronya's mouth gaped slightly, finding the current situation hard to comprehend.

She looked at Bai Yan, wanting to say something but hesitating.

"Take her and run quickly."

With that, Bai Yan, holding his short sword, rose into the air with the wind.

At this moment, he used the Luoshen Transformation to activate the power of the Gem of Desire for the first time.

He was enveloped in a halo, his faint green light gradually intensifying, as he underwent the Ultimate Ascension.

Luoshen Transformation, activate!

The short sword pierced the air like lightning. Bai Yan, as one with his sword, went straight for Feather Rabbit.

Seeing this, Feather Rabbit quickly tried to defend.

But soon, Feather Rabbit discovered the problem.

Her vision was filled with white light, her ears were silent, and her hands felt as if they held nothing.

One Sword Startling Swan!

Realizing the terrifying power of this move, Feather Rabbit retreated with her consciousness.

After retreating about three steps, her senses finally returned. She looked down and saw a terrible sword wound on her chest.

The power of the Stigmata immediately activated, slowly healing the injury.

"A skill that targets the five senses, not belonging to a Herrscher. This means this part of your power is your own..."

Bai Yan's lips curled up.

This is what they call a great teacher producing a brilliant student.

"It seems I have to get serious now. Your changes are just too significant."

"There are even bigger things waiting for you!"

Bai Yan controlled the gale, lifting and suspending himself, then suddenly launched an attack.

In Feather Rabbit's eyes, her opponent moved like a sword dance, his posture elegant and agile.

Gradually, she felt Bai Yan transforming into a tide, about to engulf her with terrifying winds.

Feather Rabbit summoned her Archetype, and the five figures immediately spread out, forming a pincer movement to continuously pursue and intercept Bai Yan.

The two battled mid-air, their various techniques dismantling each other, powers originating from the imaginary space colliding repeatedly with terrifying might.

At this moment, Feather Rabbit had already sustained considerable damage from her great battle with Durandal.

During the first exchange, Bai Yan had already realized he couldn't go head-to-head with Feather Rabbit, even after activating the Luoshen Transformation.

The "One Sword Startling Swan" technique wasn't fully completed either.

Once Feather Rabbit understood this move, the power of Bai Yan's surprise attacks diminished significantly.

Using the same move repeatedly without defeating the opponent would eventually lead to the opponent developing an immunity.

Bai Yan frowned, his gaze shifting to Jackal.

She remained still, not issuing any immediate orders, simply confronting Bronya.

It seems Feather Rabbit made arrangements, forbidding her from touching her little aunt's niece.

Bai Yan knew he couldn't defeat Feather Rabbit, so he began to harbor wicked thoughts.

Gale, rise!
