Battle of Constant Overdraft

Ganesha, Emperor Class Honkai Beast, was the Honkai Beast Theresa Apollyon defeated in her first battle. Now, her nominally adopted son, but actually her biological son, Sachi Kaslana, unexpectedly encounters this Honkai Beast during a simulated battle, a fateful encounter indeed.

Otto watched the screen with great interest, as if he were watching a movie, and even opened a bottle of champagne. "Let me see just how much power the child of the Crimson Kite Immortal possesses now."

He cut off Sachi's communications with the outside world, as well as the external images from inside the simulated combat system, meaning that no one knew what enemy Sachi was currently fighting.

Fortunately, he also had a tough time. That Joker Alpha was definitely Otto, and that was the pen name he used to correspond with Joyce. Therefore, he couldn't use his power at will.

Of the three basic forms, the speed type derived from Yae Sakura absolutely cannot be used, otherwise you'll be summoned by Otto for a chat afterward, and even Theresa won't be able to protect him then.

PS: Sachi only publicly revealed the Stigmata Kallen Hymn and Yae Sakura. Fu Hua's Border Guard is only known to the three starter characters. Otto thought that the Stigmata Yae Sakura was inherited by Sachi from Fu Hua.

(After all, you can't tell whose it is just by looking at the pattern.)

He can't use the advanced transformation corresponding to the Stigmata, let alone use it now. Yesterday's battle with Durandal consumed too much energy, and his health and mana bars are almost empty.

That bastard Otto assigned him three enemies, and the first one was someone like Ganesha. He figured the next enemies wouldn't be much weaker either; he wouldn't be surprised if a Bebelong popped up.

In this battle, he had to push his already exhausted body to its limits once more, even if it meant burning his life force again. After all, a hero can't desert his post, and although Xing wasn't a hero, he wouldn't desert his post either. Fire Moth could turn the tide depended on him.

Otto, aren't you afraid that after doing this, your enraged Mom Hua will crush your Soul Steel face?

Faced with Ganesha's rolling charge, I chose to avoid its sharp edge and wait for the boar to finish rolling and enter its skill cooldown period before attacking.

Huh? Why would he use a strength-based build against a heavy enemy like Ganesha, who has high health, high attack, high defense, and fast ultimate attacks? Even if a speed-based build isn't viable, a hybrid build should work, right?

"Damn, being the headmaster for a few days seems to have lowered my IQ..."

The speed of the power-type was clearly insufficient, so, seeing the fat pig so close at hand, he wisely took advantage of the time bug of his invincible transformation.

Ahem, actually there's no invincibility period. This isn't a tokusatsu world, and besides, in any world, there's no rule that transformations can't be interrupted. However, some transformations do have protective mechanisms.

Haruki and Zeta gave Hikari two thumbs up~

Just as Xing was about to be crushed by Ganesha, Jilin War Steed finished assembling and carried him away.

"What's going on? Why have we encountered such a strong enemy so soon?" Jilin's worried voice echoed in his mind.

"Something unexpected has happened, Ancestor Jilin. I need your power now. You can take care of it in three minutes, right?"

"One minute is enough. Also, please don't call me ancestor. Being addressed that makes me feel old. Hmm, just call me Jilin. If you think that's not polite enough, you can add 'older sister' to it."

Why does this ancestor not look like an ancient person at all?

"We'll help too!" Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu, who had fallen asleep due to working overtime and were then woken up by Yae Sakura, also joined the battle.

Fortunately, he pressed the button on the Book of Cang Xuan bracelet, and a golden belt appeared around his waist. "Very good, then let's all attack together! I will combine Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, and Jilin for Ultimate Summoning!"

PS: This sentence was not said aloud.

Otto became interested. "Oh? So that's the weaponry created by the Forerunners? It's truly remarkable that such a product existed even 50,000 years ago. But did he have a Soul Steel Computer on him?"

Fortunately, he put the bracelet, which had transformed into Tai Chi Ring, into his belt and shouted, "Five Spirits Power, Armor Combined!"

Cang Xuan, Dan Zhu, and Jilin: "What kind of transformation lines are these?!"

In order to coordinate with the power of the three, he endured the discomfort and activated the power of the Stigmata, transforming into a composite type.

The warhorse instantly disintegrated into countless tiny parts, which were then quickly assembled onto the boy's body, forming a magnificent suit of armor.

If You Hui were watching this battle, he would definitely pretend to say "Oh," and then calmly say, "So it's the Emperor Armor. These younger generations really know how to play."

PS: You Hui's retinue includes an Armored Warrior.

Sachi thought the Bonded Weaponry ability was really great. Not only could it help him create the transformation effects he wanted, but it could also do some weird things from time to time, such as creating a Zeta Riser mold to let him have some fun during the transformation, or creating the Emperor Armor appearance when he realized that Jilin could give him a new suit of armor.

That was the most handsome look in his heart, and even after watching Kamen Rider for so many years, he never changed his mind.

But is all of this really just the power of the Bonded Weaponry?

The golden king looked at his own hands, then at Ganesha, who was turning around and rolling toward him in the distance. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and the elemental manipulation ability from the Xuanyuan Sword manifested at that moment.

"Earth Spirit Power - Savage Bear's Wrath!"

Fortunately, with a slap to the ground, several thick stone spikes shot out from under the rolling Ganesha, directly smashing him into the sky.

Thanks to Cang Xuan and Dan Zhu for calculating the attack time!

Fortunately, he turned the plum blossom buckle at his waist and took out the Aurora Sword from the light screen beside him, gently stroking the blade.

PS: With only Jilin, there aren't enough parts to conjure the weapon. That's right, although it's taken out from the light screen, it's essentially made up of parts.

Several ice spikes swirled around him. Fortunately, he had gathered his strength, aimed at Ganesha who was in free fall, and threw his weapon with force, sending the ice spikes flying.

"Water Spirit Power - Frost Deer Ice Spikes!"

The Aurora Sword pierced through Ganesha's body, freezing the behemoth into an ice sculpture that crashed heavily to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

"Two moves and it's done, less than a minute. Let's see if we have enough time left to finish off the second boss..." Just as Xing breathed a sigh of relief, Otto's annoying voice rang in his ears again. "As we all know, bosses in Yugi have a first phase and a second phase, so are you ready to face the second phase of Ganesha?"

Before anyone could react, Ganesha's shattered body was immediately pieced back together. The original white surface slowly turned black, and the purple patterns on his body turned blue.

Yu couldn't help but complain, "What the hell is this Ganesha's second stage? Do you think I'm Kiana, that inconsistent underachiever? This is Parvati!"

"Don't worry about the details, they look very similar, don't they?"

Just as Xing was about to curse, the Ice Pig roared, freezing everything around it, including Xing.

Two minutes left until transformation time —

Within the deep blue ice, the emperor's red mask emitted a bright light, and the Aurora Sword, which had somehow returned to his hand, burst into flames.

Fortunately, he managed to break free of his restraints. The armor on his back deformed and extended wings, carrying him into the sky. He spread his arms, letting his whole body be bathed in flames.

"Wood Spirit Power - Wood Vine Entanglement!"

???

Before the bewildered Parvati could react, countless thick vines sprouted from around him, instantly binding him like a dumpling.

Parvati: "Damn it, this is so unsportsmanlike! You made a fire-type ultimate move's animation, but then you used a wood-type control skill instead? Even Piggy Hero isn't as good at this kind of thing!"

To prevent Parvati himself and causing his ultimate attack to miss, I luckily secured his position beforehand, and then—

"Fire Spirit Power - Fire Crane Falls from the Sky!"

The emperor gripped his sword tightly and charged down with blazing flames. With a loud bang, the charred (already black) ice boar wailed and rolled away, belly up, lying on its side, barely alive.

Fortunately, he sheathed his Aurora Sword, assumed the stance of the Cun Xin Fist Style, and prepared for his final strike, golden pulses gathering on his fist.

"Golden Spirit Power - Iron Tiger Heavy Breaking Fist!"

Fortunately, he transformed into a golden streak of light and delivered a powerful punch to Parvati's head, instantly silencing the Ice Boar. Moments later, Parvati's massive head shattered, and his body followed suit.

"Congratulations, you've defeated your First One enemy, the Emperor Class Honkai Beast Ganesha and Parvati. Now, without further ado, let's welcome the next one."

One minute left before transformation begins.

He was panting slightly, his already severely exhausted body protesting, but he knew he couldn't stop. He had to take advantage of the time Jilin could still maintain his armor to inflict heavy damage on the next enemy. Seeing a new figure appear on the battlefield, he didn't hesitate and unleashed his final ultimate move.

"The Power of the Five Elements - The Divine Might of the Five Elements!"

The power of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—gathered in his hands. He aimed at the strange, enormous beast with unusually large hands and unleashed a powerful energy blast.

The attack, imbued with the last of its power, was massive and rushed toward the new enemy like lightning. The opponent seemed to have no time to react and was directly cut in half by this move.

"Yes!" Xing hadn't expected to defeat the second enemy so easily, and the pressure on him immediately eased. But his joy didn't last long, because the two mangled remains of the giant beast roared and charged at him as if they were separate entities.

Otto's emotionally charged commentary rang out at just the right moment. "Let us welcome the Emperor Class Honkai Beast Child of Dawn and Child of Night, or by their common name— Ashvatta!"

That's right, the attack just now didn't actually hit it. It was just that the opponent made full use of its own characteristics and split itself in two a second before it was about to be hit.

The fatal flaw was that the Jilin Battle Armor's activation time had expired. The armor slowly dissipated, revealing a pale-faced young boy inside. Seeing the approaching twin Honkai Beast, he hoisted Hrudilnir onto his shoulder and charged forward. The real battle had only just begun...
