The Miss Fairy is furious, so she matched you with an equally formidable opponent / Aponia: Don't fight, don't fight

"That's right..."

"It's okay, if you don't want to do it, then don't. I have a second option."

It can only be said that Vill-V truly deserves her reputation as a "big V teacher." She didn't care at all about the client's last-minute additions to the requirements, but instead quickly found another direction for the girl.

"Even if you agree, I don't really recommend you try to take the Finality position, because your strength was forcibly raised to that level. Once the buff that makes you active while in a near-death state disappears, you'll basically die on the spot."

"It's really unlikely that you can defeat Kevin and gain Cocoon's approval within this timeframe."

"There's no such thing at all!" Xia Ling couldn't help but complain.

"Yes, not at all." Vill-V nodded. "Considering your behavior... I'll ask you one last time, you shouldn't be afraid of death, right?"

"Of course I'm not afraid; death is never on my mind."

Xia Ling said without hesitation.

"What about your companions? Surely they wouldn't be so grief-stricken by your death that they couldn't think straight?"

"Uh... I think it's unlikely, right?"

"You're still hesitating?" Vill-V was greatly shocked. "Are all of you Origin Beings some kind of humanoid succubus?"

"Ahem, it's alright. I believe they are all mentally prepared for the same thing." Xia Ling's pretty face flushed slightly. "You continue, you continue."

"In this situation, while you cannot become the Finality, you do have a chance to acquire some power during this brief period..."

Vill-V leaned closer. "I have a plan..."

"Genius!"

Xia Ling couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "Vill-V, you truly are a genius!"

"Well, there's no need to praise me like that. I do have some talent, but that's about it..."

"Vill-V said in a low voice."

It's here! The self-deprecating humility characteristic of the Vill-V!

"However, just to be on the safe side, I suggest you ask Kevin about the situation yourself... I mean the one with the memory, not the Kevin outside."

"Vill-V gave me these instructions carefully."

"I understand. Oh, right, I have a few other questions..."

Idyllic Vill-V glanced at Xia Ling's notebook and said, "These things... are the strengths of experts and conductors. Let's leave the rest of the time to them."

"I hope that when I see you next time, you'll have successfully overcome that hurdle..."

"Well, I just hope they won't come after me for teaching you to do such a thing."

Chapter 55 The Miss Fairy very angry, so she matches you with an evenly matched opponent.

"Huh? You guys finished talking? So quickly?"

When Xia Ling opened her eyes again, the woman standing in front of her, Vill-V, had become the conductor.

"I thought you guys were going to talk for ages. Let me see what she left me... the latest modification direction for the Key of Blankness?"

As a personality possessing the talent of a mechanic, the conductor only glanced at the design a few times before his surprise became increasingly difficult to conceal.

"What exactly were you guys talking about...? Are you planning to go to the Cocoon and steal food from the Finality?"

Just as the conductor was about to say something more, he noticed that Xia Ling's expression seemed a little strange.

"Uh..." The conductor's lips twitched slightly. "You don't really mean that, do you?"

"Not entirely, but... more or less?"

Xia Ling turned her head away, looking embarrassed.

"When Elysia comes knocking on your door, don't tell her I taught you this."

It can only be said that he truly deserves to be called a conductor; his speed in cutting himself off was much faster than Xia Ling had imagined.

"Sigh, never mind, I'm just a working person anyway. Since you've made your decision, I can't say anything..." The conductor conjured up the modification plan for the Key of Blankness and put it aside, then looked at Xia Ling.

"I heard you wanted to see me about something else?"

"Well, there's another thing that's not really related to the Finality, but it's something I... do to prepare for the future."

Xia Ling whispered, "It's about the Project Ark. I want to get my hands on that Ark..."

A moment later, Xia Ling, having accomplished her main goal, walked out of the Spiral Workshop feeling refreshed.

"That went so smoothly... Now all we have to do is wait for Elysia..."

"No need to wait anymore?"

A voice came from outside the Spiral Workshop.

"Elysia? Has Serpent's experiment ended?"

"It's over? We've been waiting here for quite a while now!"

I don't know why '𫔌 [??' is the reason why Xia Ling always felt that Ai Li's voice was a little different from before.

To be precise, it carries a more dangerous connotation.

Was it just my imagination? Or did Elysia overhear my conversation with Vill-V?

Xia Ling couldn't help but think of this possibility.

However, we talked about Griseo for the rest of the time. She was probably a little angry because she heard about Griseo's experience.

After all, I've tried to finish this as quickly as possible; surely Serpent couldn't have given me absolutely no time to stall for time...

Xia Ling pondered with a rather optimistic attitude.

However, she forgot one thing: this was the Elysian Realm.

The person next to Elysia is the Herrscher of Corruption...

"So, Elysia Ling's Dad Five InV? (Six) Ba Qi Bian, what's next..."

"Next... don't worry, Miss Fairy has already found the next Flame-Chasers for you to visit."

Elysia narrowed her eyes. "Shall we go? Let's not keep them waiting?"

"By the way, Little E, if you feel uncomfortable, you can come back to me."

Xia Ling was still puzzled as to why Elysia wanted Little E to stay on her body.

However, this question was soon answered.

Because...

"Ah... it's you."

The man, engulfed in flames, looked at the two uninvited guests.

"The power within you... Hmph, domination? Disgusting..."

Why is it Jie-ge?!

Xia Ling was already screaming like a groundhog in her mind.

Of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers currently in existence, the one Xia Ling least wants to encounter is Qian Erlingxia Wu O [Liu Jiu {Ling Meng I Jie].

It's not because of anything else, but mainly because... due to some well-known reasons, there have been some "minor frictions" Herrscher of Domination of the Chijie and the Previous Civilization's rulers.

As for Xia Ling, who has gained the power to dominate the current civilization... Chijie won't do anything to her, but a fight is still inevitable.

"Want an imprint? Sure..."

The intensely hot flames spread outwards from the center of the arena in an instant.

"Come, defeat me! The inscription is yours to take!"

"I knew it would be like this... Elysia, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"Hmm?" While soothing the Little E on her body, Elysia gave a mischievous smile, "This is also an important part of gaining recognition, isn't it?"

"Go for it, Little Xia Ling! This time, I'll just be here to admire your heroic spirit!"

"What's with the heroic air about robbing me, bro?!"

With a mournful face, Xia Ling quickly activated the Rock Herrscher Core within her body.

Well, although Xia Ling is now a pseudo-triple-core Herrscher, she still doesn't have much confidence in facing Jie Ge.

In the original work, Mei, who was fighting with all her might, almost died at the hands of Chijie. My strength is probably only slightly better than Mei's. Without relying on external objects, I can't even beat Collapse Theresa.

Winning this battle... is hard to say.

The gravity, condensed to almost a tangible form, instantly spread outwards from Xia Ling as the center.

It wasn't that she thought the gravity would have much of an effect on Chijie... this move was merely to counteract Chijie's advantage in the arena.

Based on Flame Willow's previous sparring experience with Chijie... the advantages of these terrains are variables that should not be underestimated in battle.

However, this was all the pre-battle preparations Xia Ling could make. The moment Xia Ling summoned gravity, Chijie's body had already arrived in front of her in an instant.

The fist, burning with flames, slammed mercilessly toward Xia Ling's chest.

With a heart-stopping explosion, the Xia Ling doll, which had been cleaved in two, flew outwards in a manner reminiscent of Frenda's split proportions.

"Is it fake...?"

The aura surging from Chijie immediately locked onto another location, which was Xia Ling, who had just escaped using a puppet substitute.

Without wasting the time bought for her by the already destroyed doll, Xia Ling's bracelet immediately transformed into a blue-purple sniper rifle.

At the same time, a holy halo rose from her head.

When fighting Theresa, Xia Ling did not use the sniper form of Seven Thunders of Retribution to avoid actually hurting Theresa.

But things are different in the Elysian Realm... Even if a memory dies, it will only quickly revert to the backup state it was in four seconds ago. Moreover, Xia Ling doesn't think that the Seven Thunders of Retribution have the ability to instantly kill Chijie.

Therefore...

As a ripple spread outward from the light wing, Xia Ling pulled the trigger without hesitation.

However, what came out of the gun was not a bullet... but a fleeting beam of light.

That was one of the Seven Thunders of Retribution's abilities, which physically dissolves the enemy by eliminating the interactions between molecules. Raven once used such a shot to directly dissolve Otto's Soul Steel body.

However... Chijie was not injured as a result.

"The Seven Thunders of Retribution? Ha, a power that evokes nostalgia... However, your attack is indeed somewhat stronger than the Seven Thunders of Retribution."

The blazing flames, like flowing magma, firmly bound the energy Xia Ling had shot out, producing a hissing sound.

"So, are you ready for a counterattack?"

Chapter 56 Aponia: Don't fight, don't fight

Chijie's counterattack came with extraordinary speed, even before Xia Ling heard the sound.

The Seven Thunders of Retribution instantly transformed into a shield, blocking the terrifying attack for Xia Ling.

Even so, Xia Ling still felt a violent impact on her arm, and as she quickly staggered backward, her right hand almost lost all feeling.

"These guys who fight using only their physical abilities are simply monsters..."

With a slight sigh, Xia Ling began to circulate the Rock Herrscher Core within her body once more.

"Simulated Black Hole - Directional Deployment!"

A black, incongruous spot suddenly appeared between the two, and then began to spread outwards.

Xia Ling is very self-aware of her own strength. Under equal strength, the greater the initial distance, the greater her advantage will be—but this also means that she is at a severe disadvantage in skirmishes.

Whether using the Crescent Rose or the Seven Thunders of Retribution in melee mode, she can only guarantee a close fight under equal physical conditions. If she encounters someone with superior physical abilities, such as Collapsed Theresa or Chijie, she would probably be taken down in one fell swoop.

Therefore, Xia Ling has always focused on developing her abilities in the direction of control and survival.

For example... the Simulated Black Hole that was stolen from the Herrscher of Reason.

"Is this all the little trick you know?"

Chijie was quite annoyed by Xia Ling's consistent avoidance of conflict.
