High-Level Match: Bai Ge vs. Kevin-Type Armed Puppet (Continued)
"Otto! Is your Soul '903' steel body' still fully charged?"
"Tsk, there's no other way. Solving problems with brute force doesn't fit my aesthetic, but we can't hide it anymore. Durandal, Sushang Chang, take this thing with you and attack! We must crush this guy!"
"Yes!"
Just this once.
The two women agreed and then stepped onto the battlefield. When Bai Ge saw them, his gaze sharpened.
"I will defeat all the Honkai and rise to the occasion with the righteous Frost Umbrella!" Bi Mujian, clad in the Godkiller Armor, Bright Knight: Excelsis? Moonlight, wielding the "Hler's Ataraxia."
"Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect, has come to offer guidance!" Li Sushang, holding the ancient sword Xuanyuan and wearing the Godkiller Armor Jade Knight Moon Mark, bowed to Bai Ge.
"..."
There was also a petite figure standing between the two women, but it did not speak. It simply raised the flaming sword in its hand and released a terrifying aura.
"Finally, I can't outmaneuver you... I didn't expect that lucky dog to have this card. Thinking about it, it makes sense. Anyway, before we start fighting, I want to ask you two a few questions."
Bai Ge temporarily put down the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment? Might of An-Utu in his hand, and first looked at Durandal with a slightly complicated expression.
"Bianca Durandal Atagina, why do you obey Otto Apocalypse?"
The boy's voice was cold and emotionless, Durandal frowned slightly, feeling as if she were being interrogated by a judge.
"Because I must defeat the Honkai."
Durandal looked directly at Bai Ge and spoke without hesitation, her eyes filled with unwavering conviction.
Moreover, she felt no aversion towards Bai Ge, and even found it quite strange... Upon seeing Bai Ge for the first time, Durandal found that her fighting spirit dissipated slightly.
It was as if I instinctively didn't want to be his enemy.
"Do you think Otto's approach was correct?"
"... I'm sorry, I also think the bishop's approach was wrong, but I believe that handing Kaslana over to Schicksal Kiana the right thing to do. As the original form of the Herrscher of the Void, she is too dangerous."
Durandal also showed a look of regret.
She is S-Rank Valkyrie of Schicksal S-rank, possessing superhuman strength, but it is precisely because of this strength that Durandal understands.
Not everything can have a perfect outcome; even with her immense strength, she has had times when rescue missions failed.
That's why Durandal strives for the best possible outcome.
"If Miss Kiana can get along peacefully with the previous Herrscher after Herrscherization, I will not have any objections, nor will I obey the bishop's order to launch this attack."
"But the video just now has proven that after she Herrscherization, she will inevitably be Herrscher who stands against humanity, so I think containing her is the best option."
"If you are willing to cooperate, I am also willing to promise to stay by Miss Kiana's side at all times and never allow the bishop to conduct any experiments on her."
Durandal said with utmost sincerity.
This was the conclusion she reached after careful consideration.
"I see, that's definitely your style."
Bai Ge nodded, which can be considered as approval.
But acknowledgment doesn't mean acceptance!
Durandal strives for perfection because she feels it's impossible to achieve it, but Bai Ge's goal has always been perfection! Their philosophies differ, leaving only battle as an option.
"And you, Li Sushang, why are you helping Otto?"
"I... I owe him a favor."
Li Sushang said somewhat embarrassedly that compared to Durandal's reason just now, she felt that her reason was a bit low. To be honest, she was also particularly unhappy just now.
I almost gave up.
"I don't think it's necessary to repay the favor I owe Otto. Anyway, that guy isn't a good person. Doing one good deed now and then is just accumulating some good karma for the future."
"Um, never mind..."
Li Sushang shook her head with a wry smile.
She is a person of her word, after all, valuing promises over life and death, which is not a rare quality of chivalry among the Shenzhou people five hundred years ago.
Otto saved her life five hundred years ago, so Li Sushang will fight for him as a way of repaying his kindness.
This will not change because the other party is a pretentious hypocrite.
Even though she knows that what she is doing may not be a just cause, Li Sushang will not abandon her promise. Moreover, given her personality, although she is helping Otto now, she will apologize and make amends to St. Freya after she has repaid the debt of gratitude.
"Alright, but I'm not planning on fighting you."
Bai Ge shrugged and said.
When it comes to power, it's not like you're without help on your side. Of course, you should call on your teammates.
He immediately contacted the girls in his family.
"Rita, Mei, and Theresa, you two just need to hold off Durandal."
"Fu Hua, Ji Lin, you two hold off Li Sushang."
After Bai Ge made the arrangements, all the women agreed.
"Okay! No problem!" x5
Those who didn't hear their names called immediately panicked.
"Bai Ge! Bai Ge! What should we do?"
"Bronya can help too!"
"Bai Ge, my greatsword is itching for a fight."
Hearing Kiana and the others' shouts, Bai Ge remained silent for a while. Although they were already quite strong, they were at most at the Platinum and Diamond ranks.
It's too early to be playing in high-level matches like those in King of Glory.
"Then Kiana, Himeko, Bronya, Seele, and Wendy, you and the others in the academy will deal with the Valkyrie of Schicksal."
"My mechs alone are no match for these B-rank and A-Rank Valkyrie... I don't need to kill them, just make sure they lose their shields. Use my mechs as cover and bait."
Actually, Bai Ge could have killed him instantly if he wanted to.
As the Herrscher of Life and Death, he only needs to expand his domain.
With the decaying black mist combined with the Schariac Blood, the Valkyrie of Schicksal will absolutely lose their lives in an instant.
Unfortunately, unlike the Abyss Flower of Creation, this area-of-effect skill will also involve St. Freya's Valkyrie.
"All right..."
Although they were unwilling, they knew they couldn't be of much help in high-level matches, so the girls had no choice but to swallow their resentment and do what they could as Bai Ge instructed.
The high-level matches are quite interesting.
Although Bai Ge did not do it intentionally, Durandal and Li Sushang both encountered each other's acquaintances.
"Rita ..."
"Durandal".
"Ancestor Chiyuan".
"I never expected to see you here, Sushang."
The former is a former best friend and a partner who remains by her side.
The latter refers to a former master and disciple, a relationship between a grandmaster and his grand-disciple.
The tense atmosphere instantly became delicate, and both sides lost their will to fight, which was exactly what Bai wanted.
Since they were all acquaintances, it was impossible for them to kill each other. Both sides would definitely use delaying tactics, but his original goal was to keep them occupied and prevent them from causing trouble.
Only...
Even Bai Ge didn't expect this.
Otto also has a powerful hand.
Durandal and Li Sushang flew far away, thoughtfully finding a battlefield that wouldn't affect outsiders, and then began their battle against Mei and the others.
Bai Ge looked at the remaining enemies, who also stared back at him expressionlessly. Then, the two of them slowly raised the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment and Might of An-Utu weapons in their hands and said in unison.
"Friend or foe, the choice is yours." x2
"..."
"Heh~ As expected of Kevin Kaslana's... Armed Doll, even the words they speak are the same."
Bai Ge couldn't help but chuckle. He looked with interest at the doll-sized Kevin before him, noticing its short legs, its tiny arms, and its miniature Might of An-Utu. (See picture)
This is way cuter than that giant popsicle.
Although he knew its strength was not cute, but very fierce!
The Armed Doll modeled after Kevin possesses some of the power of Kevin Kaslana at her peak 1500 years ago, making her even stronger than Durandal at her current stage!
"Lord Bai Ge, please be careful."
Rita gave a worried reminder through the communication headset.
"This Armed Doll was discovered by Schicksal when they were searching for the Second Divine Key: Thousand Worlds of Chariots. It even fought with Durandal back then, causing Durandal to use all her strength and sustain some injuries."
