Chapter 198
Himeko would be very pleased to see Bronya and the others now. Her students are growing up healthily, and when she returns, they will all have become capable Valkyrie.
"Hmm, Shen Gonglin also said that I've grown up. He said he'll give me a larger size of underwear next time... But, Headmistress, you said Bronya has grown up, so can Bronya have children now?"
Bronya was quite pleased with Theresa's praise and nodded deeply. If even Theresa said so, it seemed that Shen Gonglin wasn't lying to her; she really had grown up. According to the ancient Shenzhou texts that Bronya knew, girls her age should be able to get married by now, and the next step should be having children. What should she name her child? Perhaps... Jingu Nana? Or maybe Mei?
Anyway, don't call it "Shin-gyu Kiana".
"This isn't the kind of growing up I'm talking about! Bronya, what kind of weird things does Shen Gonglin always transmit to you? Listen to me, don't take what he says to heart. In short, this kind of thing is still too early for the two of you. And as for things like underwear, it's better to buy them yourself!"
Upon hearing Bronya's words, Theresa stumbled and fell to the ground. The headmistress, covered in dust and grime, scrambled to her feet and shouted at Bronya, "Just now, I was thinking that Himeko would be impressed with my teaching of Shen Gonglin and the others when she returned. But now, judging from the situation, I'm lucky if she doesn't scold me to death when she gets back. I've taught my students like this...!"
Theresa could already imagine Himeko returned. No, this can't happen.
However, Bronya seems... she really has grown up.
Theresa stole a glance at Bronya. As she ran, Bronya's chest seemed to be swaying. And her own... Theresa lowered her head. It's okay, it's okay. This is the body type that's suitable for combat. It not only reduces wind resistance but also makes movement easier. Theresa wasn't sad at all.
"Headmaster? You're crying?"
Bronya felt as if glistening water had been sprinkled on her face. She touched her cheek in confusion and looked at Theresa in front of her, asking, "This must be tears, right? Could it be saliva?"
"No, no... Bronya, you said before that Shen Gonglin masseuse, is that true?"
Theresa wiped her eyes and changed the subject. Bronya's current state was probably related to Shen Gonglin. She had heard that Shen Gonglin had been massaging Bronya before, so did that guy really have any effect? If he could save Bronya, then maybe he could save himself too?
"Bronya... Damn it, Rosaria, Liliya, you two hurry and follow her! Bronya has already broken into Sea Abyss City. Go help her, but whatever you do, don't get near the Sea of Quantum!"
With her daughter so disobedient, Cocolia and could only give such instructions to her other two daughters. She knew she couldn't leave Sea Abyss City now; Bronya was here, how could she leave alone?
She slammed her fist into the wall beside her, and bright red blood seeped from between Cocolia's fingers. Cocolia gritted her teeth; she really didn't want Bronya to be in danger.
"Cocolia, I must admit, you are the most reliable partner I have ever met. Our deal is truly reassuring. You are such a good mother."
From the shadows, Gray Serpent, clad in a long black robe, silently appeared. Cocolia glanced at Gray Serpent with a gloomy look, then turned and left without a word. The deal... Cocolia was somewhat reluctant to go through with it.
"The resolution is only about 10%... In other words, the damage I can inflict now is only 10% of my usual output. This level of damage is practically negligible against such a large creature. It's really troublesome. Deciphering the structure of this Sea of Quantum is quite difficult."
In the Sea of Quantum, Shen Gonglin had once again escaped the quantum creature Tlaloc, was hiding in an unknown space, diligently analyzing the structure of the entire Sea of Quantum. Only by analyzing it could she unleash her usual combat power. This Sea of Quantum was completely different from reality; ordinary attacks could not affect those quantum creatures. The only way was to wait for her to analyze it. The experience of being chased and attacked was truly unpleasant.
When had the dignified Shen Gonglin ever been so pathetic? Being chased and beaten by something like this was truly humiliating. To avoid accidentally hurting Seele or that boy, Shen Gonglin had no choice but to run away. The difficulty of analyzing it far exceeded Shen Gonglin's expectations. The complexity and disorder of this Sea of Quantum was challenging even for someone with Shen Gonglin's brain. Until it was completely analyzed, all she could do now was hide and run. However, it seemed that the thing could track her target, and she would probably be found again soon.
In this Sea of Quantum without any analysis, even the Herrscher of the Void's teleportation seems to be greatly affected. Both the teleportation distance and the cooldown time are greatly limited. Shen Gonglin's teleportation is completely random. However, even if it weren't random, Shen Gonglin would still be completely confused about the location of each place in this Sea of Quantum. At first, she met that boy named Joachim, then she met Seele, but now... where exactly is this place?
Tightening the bandage on her leg—which Seele had used her skirt to bandage Shen Gonglin's wound— Shen Gonglin stood up and looked around. In the dimly lit environment, it seemed as if Shen Gonglin was the only one there. No, she wasn't alone. Shen Gonglin could sense that there was something else present here.
"Oh? An outsider... This feeling? Is it the core of the Herrscher of the Void?"
A dark, shadowy figure emerged from the sky. Shen Gonglin looked up and saw... a snake?
Chapter 140 Battle with the Snake
A massive black phantom appeared before Shen Gonglin. To Shen Gonglin, the black phantom looked like a snake, with green light resembling the snake's eyes. Looking at the black phantom before him, Shen Gonglin's expression turned serious. He felt a powerful pressure emanating from this phantom; this thing was probably not something to be trifled with.
"Like that man, he's an Apostle of Honkai... But he doesn't seem to have been corrupted by the Herrscher Core at all. Can a male Herrscher really do that?"
The black phantom dissipated, replaced by a white-haired, blue-eyed man. A seemingly aloof young man appeared before Shen Gonglin. Looking at his unique appearance, Shen Gonglin felt a strange sense of familiarity. He also had white hair and blue eyes, and his features were somewhat similar to Kiana's. However, Shen Gonglin felt no affinity towards him. The strange man who appeared in the Sea of Quantum had subconsciously filled Shen Gonglin with wariness. Moreover, what did he mean by talking about the Honkai Apostle and the corruption of the Herrscher Core?
Originally, he wanted that girl to bring him the core of the Herrscher of Reason to help him break through the barrier of the Sea of Quantum and return to reality. Unexpectedly, before the girl could succeed, the core of the Herrscher of the Void was delivered to him. Whether it was the Herrscher of Reason or the Herrscher of the Void, it was fine. The Herrscher Core could help him break through the barrier and return to reality.
Before Shen Gonglin speak, the white-haired, black-clad man suddenly launched an attack. He had sensed unusual activity in the Sea of Quantum and sent his familiar Tlaloc, to clear it out. He hadn't expected it to be someone as special as Shen Gonglin. It was truly a case of finding something without even trying. He hadn't yet obtained the core of the Herrscher of Reason, nor the Gem of Desire, but if he could obtain the core of the Herrscher of the Void, it would be far more useful than the other two. As for the person in front of him, Kevin Kaslana had no intention of communicating with him.
He's just an apostle of the Honkai, and his duty is to destroy the Honkai.
"Tsk, all I knew was that we were going to fight. Let's fight then, who's afraid of who?"
Shen Gonglin gritted his teeth and stood up. He gripped a Spear of the Void in one hand and assumed the starting stance of the Cun Xin Fist with the other. Kevin, who was opposite him, showed a strange look in his eyes. He was extremely familiar with Shen Gonglin's current fist technique. How could he know such a skill? Was it just a coincidence? No, this guy was indeed using Fu Hua's fist technique and this way of attacking. Kevin also saw the shadow of the Kaslana family's physical techniques.
The shadow that appeared in his hand blocked the Spear of the Void that slashed down from above. Kevin's eyes flashed, and he bent his elbow to block the short-range force of Shen Gonglin. Opening the Heavens, indeed. The technique created by Fu Hua that the opponent used was extremely skillful. He gave Kevin the feeling of fighting an old friend. Not only his fist technique, but this person also had the aura of the Great Void Sword Qi. Is he Fu Hua's disciple? This achievement should not be something that a mere disciple can achieve.
Kevin jumped back, and the Spear of the Void that shot out from the spatial rift missed its mark. A hint of regret flashed in Shen Gonglin's eyes, but he quickly regrouped and charged forward again. Shen Gonglin was very clever. Despite possessing numerous powers and skills, he could combine them all to unleash unique power. The power of the Herrscher of the Void could be used for ranged attacks or ambushes, and his body, now with its awakened Mindful Essence power, could fully utilize the techniques taught by Fu Hua and the physical skills of the Kaslana family. The Spear of the Void in his hand could also be used as an invincible weapon. In fact, this guy's current combat power was indeed very impressive.
However, the man in front of them who looks somewhat like Kiana is undoubtedly a tough nut to crack.
Shen Gonglin looked at Kevin with wary eyes. There was no doubt that this guy who looked like the protagonist was the enemy. Moreover, after fighting for so long, he felt that this person had not used his true power, or rather, he was unable to use his true power at the moment. Shen Gonglin had no chivalry to allow him to recover his power and fight again. This was a fight that Kevin had started, so of course he had to finish it first.
Combat experience is perhaps what Shen Gonglin lacks most, but he tries his best to make up for this gap with his intelligence and reaction speed. Fu Hua passed on all her martial arts skills to Shen Gonglin, and the power of the Herrscher of the Void has no side effects on Shen Gonglin. With such powerful support, Shen Gonglin feels that he can do many things. If he can't beat anyone, how can he protect Kiana? Just like Theresa and the others often say, he fights to protect all the good things in this world. And isn't the good thing for Shen Gonglin the people who have always been by his side?
With a flash of golden light, Shen Gonglin used spatial teleportation to instantly appear in front of Kevin. He gripped the Spear of the Void with both hands and slashed down with all his might. This was Himeko's fighting style, a combat technique honed through countless battles by humankind. The black mist in Kevin's hands was instantly cleaved away. The white-haired man frowned slightly. This was a bit tricky. Without restored strength or a suitable weapon, dealing with this suspected Herrscher of the Void was proving difficult. However, as a warrior who had saved the world, he was not so easily defeated.
Using the same Kaslana family martial arts, Kevin dodged the tip of the Spear of the Void and immediately threw a punch. However, with a snap of her fingers, Shen Gonglin created a spatial rift before his fist. Familiar with this fighting style, Kevin immediately stopped his attack, halting the fist that appeared from another spatial rift. He didn't have the habit of punching himself. It was indeed the Herrscher of the Void. Although it might lack the power of the Second Herrscher Herrscher, it was undoubtedly the Herrscher of the Void. The difference between it and the Second Herrscher was probably only the number of gems.
Kevin could sense that the Herrscher in front of him only had the core of the Herrscher of the Void. According to his understanding, the current Herrscher of the Void should also have the Serenity Gem and the Conquest Gem in addition to her core.
Even so, it seems that his plan to use the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void's core to break through the barrier of the Sea of Quantum and return to reality will not succeed. In his current state, it is obviously impossible to take the Herrscher of the Herrscher of the Void's core from him. However, it doesn't matter. Whether it is the Herrscher of Reason Core or the Gem of Desire, it can help him achieve this goal.
He could sense that he would soon be able to return to reality.
Having figured this out, Kevin decided not to get entangled with Shen Gonglin any longer. He was no match for Shen Gonglin in his current state, but his familiars could delay him. Kevin quickly retreated and transformed back into the phantom of a snake. Just as Shen Gonglin was about to give chase, Tlaloc, who had been tracking him, suddenly appeared. Tsk, what a nuisance. I could have caught this guy right away.
The analysis of the Sea of Quantum was still incomplete, and Shen Gonglin's attacks could not effectively harm these quantum creatures. So he could only watch helplessly as the snake's phantom slowly dissipated. The snake, the World Serpent, was that white-haired creature related to the World Serpent to which the Gray Serpent belonged?
Shen Gonglin's mind raced. Think about it: what was Gray Serpent's purpose in directly infiltrating Einstein's Anti-Entropy database through the Hyperion? Einstein had mentioned exploring the Sea of Quantum a year ago with the leader of Anti-Entropy, and the data Gray Serpent stole was related to that experience. Cocolia also said that the Gem of Desire was thrown into the Sea of Quantum for some reason, and that white-haired guy just now wanted to seize her Herrscher of the Void Core. The Gem of Desire is also the core of the Herrscher of Wind ... It can be deduced that the guy's goal was the Herrscher core. What did he need the Herrscher Core for...? In short, that guy definitely wanted to use the Herrscher Core for something. He was destined not to get her Herrscher of the Void Core, and then there Gem of Desire ...
Before she could delve any deeper, the enormous nuisance had already launched an attack on Shen Gonglin. Shen Gonglin, who hadn't finished analyzing it, didn't want to waste her energy on this guy. She couldn't even break through its defenses, so what was the point of fighting? Besides, from this result, she could deduce that this thing was in cahoots with that white-haired guy from before. Without a doubt, she and he were enemies.
"Come on, let me see if you have any other skills besides yelling. Do you know what happened to the last giant creature that yelled at me like that? That thing was called the Heavenly Father... Oh right, it shouldn't be called a creature, but everyone knows what it means. I've already beaten up several arrogant ones like you."
Being constantly chased and attacked is not in Shen Gonglin's nature. Although her attacks cannot do much damage to it, Shen Gonglin is tired of running away. There are no strange boys or Seele here, Shen Gonglin can finally move around a bit. Ever since entering the Sea of Quantum, she has been constantly chased by this thing. Does it really think Shen Gonglin has no temper?
Several Spear of the Void appeared beside her, Shen Gonglin floated lightly in mid-air. There was no other way; the injury on her leg was still a bit painful. Shen Gonglin had been enduring the pain while fighting the white-haired creature earlier, and now she would avoid using her leg if possible. As for a mere quantum creature, Shen Gonglin could defeat it with just one leg.
Even though this guy doesn't have feet, shouldn't such a terrifying-looking creature be kept out of sight? Doesn't Shen Gonglin only like looking at pretty girls?
Chapter 141 The True Power of the Moon's Radiance
"Headmaster, we haven't found any trace of the Doctor or Shen Gonglin anywhere. Moreover, the energy fluctuations of the Eye of the Abyss are still increasing, and the Honkai Beast are gathering here. The vanguard has already arrived... Rosaria, and Liliya, be on guard, they're coming."
Before the Eye of the Abyss portal in Sea Abyss City, Bronya, Theresa, and the others were doing their best to hold off the attacking Honkai Beast. The energy emanating from the Eye of the Abyss was drawing the Honkai Beast in this area like fish smelling fish. Originally, they were defending the outer perimeter of Sea Abyss City, but as the battle progressed, their defensive area was getting smaller and smaller, and finally they were concentrated near the Eye of the Abyss. Bronya, seeing the gathering Honkai Beast, quickly reminded everyone that with their current strength, fighting against a horde of Honkai Beast of this strength was indeed like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
"Got it, watch my super headbutt! They just won't stop, are they cockroaches from an orphanage?!"
Rosaria and Liliya were also there to help. Cocolia couldn't just abandon Bronya and run away, so she asked Rosaria and Liliya to come and help. It was thanks to their help that they had held out for so long. They couldn't let the Honkai Beast get here. They had to protect the Eye of the Abyss, as it was Seele's only hope of returning.
With this in mind, Bronya bit her lip, shut down her computer, and rejoined the mission to defend against the Honkai Beast. The four of them, small figures, were like a small boat that could run aground at any moment in the wave of Honkai Beast. If there was no other way, it was only a matter of time before this place fell.
"Rosaria, stop spinning. Liliya feels so dizzy... Also, this place is really uncomfortable, like something is staring at me. Liliya feels terrible."
Liliya, one of the twin sisters, was breathing heavily. She leaned against the wall, holding her greatsword in both hands, taking the opportunity to rest. Rosaria was more suited to fighting. Liliya couldn't fight like her sister because of her physical limitations, but her senses were very sharp. There seemed to be something in this Sea of Quantum. Through the Eye of the Abyss, she could vaguely sense that malice, which was really unsettling.
"Rosaria thinks so too. My head is spinning. I didn't eat anything strange. Luckily, the battle is over..."
Having dealt with this wave of Honkai Beast, Rosaria staggered to the wall and sat down. She was probably dizzy from being spinning around during the battle. Liliya's discomfort was likely due to watching Rosaria spin around, but the deeper reason was probably this thing.
Bronya looked up and saw that the Eye of the Abyss, a large portal, was emitting a faint blue light. Everyone could feel that the fluctuations of this thing were very abnormal, as if something might suddenly burst out from it at any moment.
"No, the battle isn't over yet, it's happening again! Everyone on high alert!"
The others had already sat down to rest in the corner, but Theresa remained on high alert. Just as she had said, after a brief respite, even more Honkai Beast surged towards them. The sheer number of them was overwhelming, and even Bronya's eyes flashed with despair. Such numbers were simply unstoppable.
"What the hell?! This number is like stirring up a hornet's nest! Has all the Honkai Beast come this time?!"
Rosaria stared wide-eyed at the Honkai Beast gathering above and charging downwards. The girl's seemingly frail arms gripped her younger sister's small hand tightly. Oh no, Rosaria felt that she was probably doomed this time.
"Rosaria, it should be said that she stirred up Honkai in the Honkai."
Liliya still had the mood to correct her sister's mistakes at a time like this, and the two of them had the leisure to joke around, but Theresa couldn't play with them. Damn it, the timing was too bad. Sea Abyss City absolutely could not fall. Even if she didn't know the consequences, she had no other choice but to take this step now.
Theresa gritted her teeth. It was time to use this thing. Wasn't this the very moment she had asked Einstein to remove this restriction? Blood Knight, Moonbeam, let me see your true power.
"Step back, let me deal with these Honkai Beasts. Bronya, take these two children and get away... whatever you do, don't come near me. Blood Knight: Moonbeam, start getting dressed!"
Making a decisive decision, Theresa took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her blue eyes had turned red. This was the result of Blood Knight: Moonbeam stimulating and activating the Honkai Beast factor within her. She didn't know what extent the Moonlit Armor, now unrestricted, could achieve, but it was the only way to escape her current predicament. As 4th Generation God-Slaying Armor, Durandal and Rita could achieve that level, then there was no reason why she couldn't. As the headmistress, protecting her students was her duty. Even Himeko could sacrifice everything for everyone, so what was there for her not to risk?
The red figure flashed through her mind, Theresa completely let go of her worries. Even if there were problems, Shen Gonglin could solve them, right? Suddenly, the young girl thought of that guy. He was her last resort. If it was him, she could definitely do it. Theresa focused her mind and communicated with her God-Slaying Armor. Theresa was ready!
A crimson light shone from the girl, even coating the golden cross with a blood-red glow. Her nun's habit abruptly transformed into a strange suit of armor, and a surge of power could be felt within her. Theresa gazed at the approaching Honkai Beast. With a wave of her small hand, Judah, also now crimson, seemed to gain new power. Black chains pierced through the void, annihilating the charging Honkai Beast. A scarlet blade flashed, and the sword within the crimson Judah transformed into a red storm, completely clearing the area of Honkai Beast. This was the true power of the Blood Knight!
Feeling the surging power within her, Theresa's red eyes shone even brighter. She could sense that as the battle progressed, the power within her would grow stronger—the true power of the Honkai Beast that had merged into her. Her blood seemed to be boiling. The once quiet and unassuming principal now wore a wild smile. Although she didn't know the consequences of this... she was truly happy right now!
"Wow, that's amazing... I didn't expect Theresa to be so powerful despite her small size. She cleared out so many Honkai Beasts in one go."
Rosaria stared in astonishment at Theresa, who was shining brightly ahead. Because of her outstanding performance, the battle, which had almost been broken, had been reversed in an instant. No matter how many Honkai Beast there were, once they entered the blood-red storm, all they would face was death. Theresa had single-handedly turned the tide of the battle, Sea Abyss City, which had been occupied by Honkai Beast, had suddenly returned to peace. Was she really that powerful? You couldn't tell from her appearance at all.
"That's right, the headmistress is really amazing. After all, she is the headmistress of our St. Freya Academy. With her around, we don't have to worry about anything, no matter what happens."
Bronya's tone was also full of pride. This was the headmistress she trusted. Although she looked small and unreliable, she could actually rely on her no matter what happened. Theresa was indeed an excellent person, Bronya trusted her very much, just like she trusted Shen Gonglin.
As they cleared out the remaining Honkai Beast, Theresa hadn't expected Blood Knight: Moonbeam to be so powerful after its restrictions were lifted. Although she felt a surge of bloodlust, it didn't affect Theresa resilient spirit; at most, it just made her a little more aggressive. However, even though the immediate predicament was over and the remaining Honkai Beast posed no threat to them, Theresa's mind remained unsettled, as if an even greater crisis was about to descend. This was Theresa's intuition; her instincts told her she couldn't let her guard down.
It's coming! Something's coming!
The premonition in her heart grew stronger, and Theresa suddenly turned around to look at the Eye of the Abyss. There was no mistake, her intuition told her that this was where the problem was.
"Headmaster, a massive source of reaction is approaching... This, this reaction, there's no mistake, how could it be? This source of reaction is coming from the Eye of the Abyss!"
At this moment, Bronya also noticed the abnormality. The computer on the Heavy-duty Rabbit emitted a piercing alarm. As soon as Bronya turned it on, she saw a bright red light. At first, she thought that there were high-level Honkai Beast lurking among the attacking Honkai Beast. However, Theresa had almost cleared out the surrounding Honkai Beast, but the signal from the source of the reaction was even stronger. Based on the location of the signal, Bronya turned her head to look at the Eye of the Abyss everyone had been guarding. There was no mistake, the signal was coming from inside.
"The enemy is coming... Wait, there's another energy source reaction. This waveform... is it... the Herrscher of the Void?"
Bronya said in a deep voice, but the detector gave another response. After seeing the energy waveform clearly, Bronya was even more surprised. It was undoubtedly the energy waveform of the Herrscher of the Void, and the Herrscher of the Void... there was no mistake, it was definitely him!
Everyone looked at the Eye of the Abyss, Bronya's eyes filled with anticipation. How did that guy end up in the Sea of Quantum?
Chapter 142
The enemy is coming!
Bronya and Theresa could feel the immense energy emanating from the Eye of the Abyss. They were on high alert. The key was that the energy's reaction contained waveforms belonging to the Herrscher of the Void. The only person who possessed this power besides Kiana was Shen Gonglin. Kiana wasn't here, so there was only one conclusion: how did that girl get into the Eye of the Abyss?
The space in the center of the Eye of the Abyss shattered, and a deafening roar came from within. Then, a huge, pale white hand appeared, and a strangely shaped quantum creature emerged from the Eye of the Abyss. However, this huge creature did not have time to launch any attack on Theresa and the others. Its target was only Shen Gonglin!
"What are you yelling about? Didn't you want to hit me? If you want to hit me, then you'd better take the beating!"
Accompanied by such an energetic sound, countless Spear of the Void shot out from all directions through the golden portal toward the serpent's familiar Tlaloc. Although the analysis was not completed, this was not a reason for Shen Gonglin to swallow her anger. Even if she could not inflict a fatal wound, Shen Gonglin would still give it a tickle. Moreover, such an attack could not be described as a tickle.
Dozens of Spear of the Void bombarded the same spot, Tlaloc's hard shell slowly cracked. It seemed this thing could feel pain. Hearing Tlaloc's painful roar, Shen Gonglin jumped out of the Eye of the Abyss, stood on the ground, crossed her arms, and looked at it coldly. When facing Bronya and the others, Shen Gonglin was always in a good mood and had a good attitude, but when facing enemies, even he would show that swift and cold offensive.
"God... Shen Gonglin?"
After eliminating all the Honkai Beast, Theresa hesitated before calling out the name of Shen Gonglin. This was Shen Gonglin, wasn't it? The face was indeed right; she had seen him without the power of the Herrscher of the Void before. But what was with this long golden hair, and that expression on his face that seemed to have everything under control... No matter how she looked at it, this Shen Gonglin seemed somewhat different from the one she knew.
Perhaps because of the use of the power of the realm, Shen Gonglin's aura has changed slightly. The aura of a great sage is somewhat unfamiliar to Theresa and the others. She is very worried. Shen Gonglin possesses many kinds of complex powers. She has worried before that Shen Gonglin might be backfired by those powers. Isn't that what the books often say, just like Kiana's current situation? Shen Gonglin is using those strange powers so recklessly. Will he be in danger?
Theresa was overthinking it. It's true that using these powers might change his temperament, but these changes are only to make him more compatible with those powers. His body, blessed by the niece of the main god, is immune to all negative effects. All the powers hidden within him are incredibly docile, and no power would want to harm him. A situation like Kiana's is even more impossible for him. Even the power of the Herrscher is obedient within him, almost ready to serve as Shen Gonglin's dog.
"Hmm? What's wrong... Wow, Theresa, you look so good in this outfit, you have such a great presence. Come on, let's get close."
With the Spear of the Void temporarily restraining Tlaloc's movements, Shen Gonglin finally had a chance to glance at Theresa. His eyes lit up at the sight. He had to admit, while Schicksal might have some issues with the bishop's character, their armor design was absolutely top-notch. These 4th Generation God-Slaying Armor perfectly captured the user's temperament and style. Think of Rita, then Himeko, and now Theresa ... Theresa in her white-haired, red-eyed state was so cute! She possessed a more mad and alluring quality than her usual white-haired, blue-eyed appearance. Shen Gonglin couldn't resist any longer. A portal opened, and Shen Gonglin instantly appeared beside Theresa. He hugged Theresa tightly; such a cute Theresa deserved a hug.
"Huh? Stick to me... Wait, wait a minute, don't come near me right now... Shen Gonglin, did you even understand me?!"
Before Theresa could say anything, Shen Gonglin, who had emerged from the spatial rift, grabbed her and wrapped her arms around Theresa's small waist. Shen Gonglin enjoyed bouncing around on Theresa's smooth little face. Theresa had a special scent that made her feel safe just by holding her. It was hard to imagine getting a sense of security from Theresa, so Shen Gonglin had to enjoy it a little longer.
Theresa had originally wanted to ask Shen Gonglin how he ended up in the Sea of Quantum, and given her current state, she didn't dare let anyone get too close. But after being held in Shen Gonglin's arms, Theresa's mind went blank. This guy was really rude to her. It felt like the headmaster's authority had completely vanished in front of him. Theresa's little hands seemed to be pushing Shen Gonglin quite hard, but even with the immense strength that could withstand thousands of pounds of Judah, Shen Gonglin couldn't be pushed away... Bronya felt like Theresa was acting out her character.
The emotionless loli stared blankly at the affectionate Shen Gonglin and Theresa. Bronya's gray eyes were unusually cold, while the two pairs of meddlesome sisters next to her were still chattering away. Bronya felt like she had been cheated on again.
Huh? Why did I say "again"?
"Liliya, look at Shen Gonglin and Theresa... Wow, they look so good together! Theresa looks so cute in my arms, Rosaria want to hold her too."
The pink girl with horns crouched down next to her younger sister and whispered to her, while the blue-skinned younger sister nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, Liliya also wants to be held in Shen Gonglin's arms. He seems to be very experienced with it."
"... Liliya, something's wrong with you."
Too lazy to listen to what those two idiot sisters were saying, Bronya, who had been cuckolded, couldn't stand it anymore. Shen Gonglin probably thought she was dead again. They should have been closer, but this idiot had gone to Theresa's side. That Shen Gonglin was really disobedient; she needed to vent her anger. And Tlaloc, surrounded and locked by the Spear of the Void, became Bronya's ultimate target. Since Shen Gonglin had been attacking it, it must be an enemy. Heavy-duty Rabbit, prepare to attack!
The girl looked up, and the Heavy-duty Rabbit behind her also aimed at the huge creature. Seeing her action, Shen Gonglin released her arms from Theresa. The freed headmistress hopped away like a little rabbit, keeping her distance from Shen Gonglin. The little girl blushed and her heart pounded as she clutched her chest, unable to say a word. It felt so strange. She hadn't been drained of blood by him, so why did she feel this way? This bittersweet feeling... it was really strange.
"Give up, Bronya. This thing is very special. Even I can only do this much damage to it right now. The Heavy-duty Rabbit probably won't be able to do much to it..."
Seeing Bronya about to attack Tlaloc, Shen Gonglin shook her head, intending to dissuade her. She herself couldn't do much damage to it, and it would probably have to wait until the analysis of the Sea of Quantum was completely completed before she could deal with it. With Bronya and Heavy-duty Rabbit's abilities, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
However, Bronya ignored Shen Gonglin's words. Wasn't this guy hugging the headmistress? What was he trying to do by running up to Bronya now? He was so nonchalant, not even saying a nice word... Bronya decided to ignore Shen Gonglin for a while, for anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour, depending on how she planned to coax him. To vent her anger, Bronya controlled the Heavy-duty Rabbit and fired at Tlaloc, who was surrounded by the Spear of the Void and couldn't move. The power of this shot was beyond Shen Gonglin's expectations.
What's going on? Why did Bronya's attack cause it so much damage? Hearing Tlaloc's painful roar, it was Shen Gonglin's turn to be surprised. She had attacked it so many times without any reaction, so why did Bronya's attack work this time? This shouldn't be the case.
Unconvinced, Shen Gonglin summoned the Spear of the Void again and struck the quantum creature on the head. However, the Spear of the Void was deflected, proving that the creature's defense hadn't weakened. Bronya's attack, on the other hand, was able to inflict obvious wounds on it. This was unfair!
