Clash with Cocolia (Part 3)

Fortunately, he tossed Tesla to Black Seele: "Give me those Honkai Beasts. You and Little Te protect the two of them."

"No problem~" Black Seele gently hugged White Seele in her arms, then stretched out her paws to catch Tesla.

Bang!

"Oops, I didn't catch it!"

"You fucking did this on purpose, didn't you?!" Tesla, which had landed headfirst, was jolted awake by the impact.

Xingzai, who happened to see this scene when she turned around, silently prayed that Lobster Doctor's head wouldn't be damaged. His Build was only in its early stages of development. He wouldn't let her go until he had created the Danger Trigger and the Genius Bottle.

"Hoo-sa, let's begin the experiment!"

Facing the three menacing giant beasts, Xing clenched his fists, a glint of electricity flashing in his eyes. He transformed into a streak of purple light and engaged in battle with the leader, the all-pink Ashvatta. The moment they made contact, he switched to his power form (blue eyes) and connected with Inch Punch: Heaven Opening.

His left fist slammed out, colliding violently with Ashvatta Alpha's massive arm. After a loud bang, Yuki staggered backward, while Ashvatta Alpha only swayed slightly.

"That's really impressive. Even with your strength suppressed, you managed to fight it head-on without getting hurt. No wonder the Jackal was so eager for you. And according to the equipment, you didn't seem to be in very good condition before you came here." The Gray Serpent, who was just watching the show, clapped his hands, cheering on Xing. If he could express himself with more emotion, the performance would be even better.

"Tch, thanks for the compliment." Xing snorted coldly, and just as he was about to regain his footing and fight again, several blue lightning bolts emerged from the surrounding ground and moved toward him.

Upon closer inspection, Ashvatta Beta, entirely blue, had his arms planted in the ground, and electricity filled every corner of his body.

"Good grief, one controls and the other deals damage, huh?" Xing couldn't help but complain.

Ashvatta, with its blue and pink stripes and larger size than the other two, remained at a distance for some reason, not participating in the battle. Its body was trembling incessantly, as if it were enduring something.

"This is terrible." Xing analyzed the current situation and cursed silently.

Insufficient energy to evolve into adult form, the pseudo- Heavenly Fire Unleashed should be usable one more time, so what's the point of fighting?

"I was just kidding!"

Yukio pulled out the Build Driver from his Fourth-Dimensional Pocket (Guidance Module), took out the Gorilla Fullbottles and the Diamond Fullbottles, and saw Ashvatta Alpha coming. Without thinking, he inserted the Gorilla on the right and the Diamond on the left, nimbly dodging the attack of the blue lightning. He quickly pulled the joystick and raised his right fist to meet the attack, but then he paused for a moment.

PS: The bottle's position is relative to Xing.

"Gorilla!" Diamond! Best Match! Are you ready?"

"What are you standing there for? Use the Build I created to annihilate them all, leaving not a trace!" Seeing Sachi hesitate, Tesla shouted at him from behind, "The power of the Knight System I created, combined with you, is beyond question! Trust me!"

Fortunately, he was jolted awake from his hesitation. By the time he realized what was happening, Ashvatta Alpha's giant arm had already reached his head. In this moment of crisis, he felt that his perception of time had slowed down, as if everything was moving in a slowed-down manner.

In this slow-moving world, he clenched his slightly trembling right fist and charged forward with fearless momentum, his brown and blue knight armor rapidly forming on his body.

"Transform!"

Boom!

Without any suspense, the massive gorilla fist smashed through its arm, sending Ashvatta Alpha flying high into the air with a Rising Dragon Fist. As it landed, its crystalline blue left arm formed a layer of diamond bullets in front of it. Timed perfectly, it swung its right arm out with a punch, kicking Ashvatta Alpha back like a ball, knocking Ashvatta Beta down right in the middle of casting a skill.

At the same time, the transformation sound effect rang out—

"The Shining Destroyer! Gorilla Diamond! YEAH!"

Facing an enemy far in size, the tiny knight showed no fear. He brushed his left hand across his goggles and uttered his signature line:

"The Law of Victory have already been determined."

Note: During the transformation, the body will be stimulated by the Fullbottles, temporarily increasing to the adult size.

"Wow! That's the spirit!" Tesla stared excitedly at the energized Build, patting Little Te on the head and saying, "Hey, how's the data? How much did it go up?"

"Reporting to Dr. Tesla, compared to the usual Build Gorilla Diamond form, the overall combat index has increased by approximately 30.1346%." A screen was projected on Little Te's head, with various data jumping rapidly.

"Hey, Lobster Doctor, what are you doing?" Black Seele, who was holding her lover, came over with interest.

"Oh, let me explain. According to the latest experiments, the special Honkai Energy used by Build transformation is affected by the user's emotions to a certain extent. The more excited the user is, the stronger the power that can be unleashed. After experiencing battle, the user's energy accumulation will also increase. And then... wait, what did you just call me?" When talking about his most outstanding invention, Tesla was like a chatterbox that had been opened. After saying several sentences, he realized that he had been given a nickname.

"Reporting to Dr. Tesla, this must have been taught to her by Little Xing. He seems to really like calling you Lobster Doctor in private," Little Te added, emphasizing each word.

"Aaaaah! You brat! I'm going to give you an awful nickname too, I'll call you, I'll call you Rabbit Assistant!" Tesla roared angrily.

"Hehe, it suits Brother Xing very well~" Black Seele thought this nickname was good.

On the other side, Build in his Scarlet Drill Form was relentlessly hammering Ashvatta Alpha, his left hand constantly creating diamonds to restrict its movements, while his brown, gorilla-like fists pounded into it again and again. Ashvatta Beta, standing nearby, unleashed blue lightning again to try and restrain him, but fortunately, it neither dodged nor evaded, relying on the defensive power of its Diamond Fullbottles to withstand the damage.

"Mmm, it feels nice and tingly, give me more pressure, please~" Xing said, and then threw another heavy punch.

Seeing that the lightning was ineffective, Ashvatta β pulled out its arm and charged at Sachi at a speed completely disproportionate to its massive body. The knight, unable to dodge in time, was knocked straight away and fell into a snowdrift in the distance.

"Damn! These two behemoths, one a power type and the other a speed type, were they made specifically to target rabbits?" Tesla cursed indignantly, and couldn't help but wonder what abilities Ashvatta, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, possessed.

"Taka!" Gatling! Best Match! Are you ready?"

"Build up!"

A figure in orange and black spread its wings and soared into the sky from the snowdrift.

"Sky Ruffian! Falcon Gatlinger! YEAH!"

The knight soared through the sky, wielding a machine gun and rapidly firing at the two giant beasts on the ground Ashvatta Alpha, which was too slow to move, unfortunately became a sitting duck, while Ashvatta Beta, which moved swiftly, dodged quickly while firing blue rays from its shoulder to counterattack the knight.

"Ten, Twenty, Thirty, Forty, Fifty, Sixty, Seventy, Eighty, Ninty, One Hunderd!" Full Bullet!"

An unreasonable, semi-transparent barrier unfolded around the two beasts, and a large number of orange bullets were fired at them. The bullets transformed into small falcons in mid-air, activating an automatic pursuit function.

Gray Serpent, who was watching the show from a distance, couldn't help but praise, "Is that the power called 'Build' that Jackal has been researching all this time? It's indeed not to be underestimated, but it also depends on the user. If an ordinary person were to transform, they would probably be dead by now, right?"

(Although Build isn't for ordinary people)

Bang! Bang! Bang! A series of explosions rang out. Fortunately, he switched to RabbitTank Form and landed steadily. But as soon as he stood firm, two figures rushed out from the smoke of the explosions and knocked him to the ground from the front and back. Two pink giant arms pressed down on the knight from the left and right, accompanied by blue electric currents.

Tesla's eyes widened. Ashvatta Alpha and Ashvatta Beta had actually swapped sides of their bodies to achieve a balance of abilities. "They can even complement each other's abilities as needed?! This time, the rabbit has really been targeted!"

Tesla is panicking, and so is Xing.

The next second—

"Hehe, I was just pretending~" Both of them simultaneously revealed sinister smiles.

Fortunately, he activated quantum transformation to evade the two beasts' pursuit, but was forced to deactivate his transformation state at the same time, since the armor couldn't be quantumized along with him. The boy rolled on the snow to create distance, then transformed back into his physical form, quickly pulled out the red and blue bottles, and inserted the new Fullbottles into his belt.

"Dragon!" Lock! Best Metch!"

The moment the Blue Gold Bottles were inserted, an unprecedentedly powerful force filled the entire driver, and the resulting shockwave sent the two beasts that were trying to attack flying.

"So powerful, stronger than ever before!" Xing exclaimed excitedly as he felt this power.

——Love Gate——

Somewhere in Siberia, several blue lights appeared in a huge block of ice, flickered a few times and then disappeared, and no new movement appeared for a long time.

——Love Gate——

"Hahaha! Let this genius show you around!" Tesla shouted excitedly, unharmed because she was far away and Little Te had just activated her energy shield. In any case, no one could hear her except for Black Seele next to her and Xing, who was communicating with her through Little Te.

"The Dragon Fullbottles extracted from the Judgment Class Honkai Beast is too powerful to be combined with other ordinary Fullbottles for transformation. Similarly, the Chain Fullbottles extracted from the Key of Binding suffers the same fate, as it cannot be used in combination with other Fullbottles due to its ability to nullify Honkai Energy!"

"However, when these two special energy bottles are combined, the lock restrains the dragon's power, making it controllable, and unexpectedly, the strongest and best combination is born!"

"Xing! What are you waiting for?!"

He quickly pulled the joystick, and two conduits extended from the sparking driver, forming blue and gold knight armor in front of and behind him respectively.

Are you ready?

Almost simultaneously, Haku and Tesla shouted the incantation that summoned the knight, "Hen Shen!"

"Sealed Dream Superstar! Key Dragon! YEAH!"

P. S.: This is how the sound effects for the cute girl are described. Although I also think it's a bit strange, I'm too lazy to watch the original show.

The two halves of armor suddenly merged, with sharp dragon eyes and thick, sturdy locks serving as goggles on either side of the knight. He glanced at the key-shaped weapon embedded in his left hand, then moved his simply armored blue right hand, where blazing dragon flames burned.

Faintly, the phantom of a giant dragon appeared behind the knight.

At the same time, the battle theme from the Build series also started playing. Sachi felt something was off about it; it sounded like Ryuga's...

Before I could think, Ashvatta Alpha and Ashvatta Beta pounced on me again. Luckily, I quickly pulled the joystick, Fullbottles shone brightly.

"Ready Go!" Vortex Finsh!"

Several chains extended from the key-shaped weapon, firmly binding the two giant beasts. The knight raised his right hand, and dragon flames burned fiercely in his hand, gradually transforming into a dragon shape. Under the knight's will, the dragon grew larger and larger, charging straight towards them.

Boom!!!

A deafening explosion rang out, and the towering flames almost illuminated the entire Siberian continent (an exaggeration, but it did indeed create a small sun). Xing quickly turned around and struck a pose, the dazzling flames making the bright knight armor look even more exquisite.

"Awesome! No wonder it's the work of a genius! "Tesla thought proudly, wearing sunglasses.

Boom!

Another small explosion rang out. The boy, who had physically turned into a black fur ball, glanced silently at the Build Driver that had been blown to pieces on the ground, bent down to pick up the Dragon Lock Bottle, and turned his gaze to the sweating Tesla in the distance.

"Doctor, didn't you say before that you adjusted the belt's maximum strength based on the power of the Dragon Lock Form, and that there would be absolutely no mistakes?"

Faced with the boy's almost murderous gaze, Tesla turned his head away guiltily. "Maybe, possibly, perhaps, this genius has accidentally miscalculated a decimal point again?"

Damn, I knew this guy was unreliable.

Yukio drew the Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection from the Stigmata and walked toward Ashvatta, who had been standing by without making a move. "Although I don't know why you haven't participated in the battle before, I'm sorry to say that I have to send you to meet your comrades."

The greatsword, ablaze with flames, was raised high; the all-consuming heavenly fire was about to be unsheathed—

"Little Te, scan it." Tesla was a little curious about the internal structure of this Honkai Beast.

"Scanning—beep beep, detected..." Little Te presented Tesla with the scanned internal image of Ashvatta δ. Her eyes slowly changed from doubt to shock, and finally to horror.

"Sure, stop right now—"

Just before she unleashed the heavenly fire, Sachi's gaze met Ashvatta's little head, and she saw a familiar color in its two small eyes.

Boom!!!

A red line rose across the snowfield and then fell, melting away the ice and snow that had covered the area for many years, leaving a deep ravine in the ground.

At the beginning of this ravine, Xing, panting heavily, planted his weapon in the ground to support his body, trembling uncontrollably.

Ashvatta -δ's body was only a foot away from the ravine; if it hadn't managed to dodge in time, it would probably have been reduced to ashes by now.

"You, who are you?!"

P. S.: The depiction of Sigfried activating the Heavenly Fire Judgment in the manga was definitely skimped on. Just like watching Kamen Rider or Ultraman, don't let the limitations of the screen mislead your understanding of their true abilities. It was just that the production team didn't have enough budget.

Author's Note—

One more chapter, returning to the St. Freya Academy.

Next up is an original storyline that I personally really like!
