Xing: Not a Single Worthy Opponent!
(Well, just so you know, You Hui is a bit... different, or rather, unconventional, eccentric, whatever you want. Anyway, if you feel uncomfortable while reading this book, you can leave a message in the book review section or leave. I won't delete the comments from those readers who genuinely express their opinions, even if they point out my mistakes.)
The most suitable combination for the current situation is definitely that one.
"The Hidden Entertainer! Shinobu Manga! YEAH!"
The knight in purple and yellow showed no panic in the face of several resurrected enemies; on the contrary, he seemed somewhat impatient.
"Seriously, can't you just let me kill Guai Guai and turn her into my bottle already? I'm in a hurry to get back and have Rita make me fish soup."
Having barely dodged the werewolf's thrust, the lion and tiger attacked from both sides, but missed their target. A piece of wood appeared where the knight had just stood, with a smiling face painted on it, like a silent mockery.
"After all, this form has ninja elements, right?" Sachi stood on the giant bear's shoulder, slowly pressing the Four-Panel Ninja Sword in his hand, and a sound effect rang out:
"Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, three phantoms flew out from the knight's body, and after landing, they transformed into the exact same shape as him. Moreover, each of the clones, except for the main body, brought out a different optimal combination.
"This makes 4v4 much fairer," Xing said casually to the camera hidden in the corner. "However, this will consume a lot more physical strength than usual."
"Rabbit!" Tank! Best Match!"
"Gorilla!" Diamond! Best Match!"
"Phoenix!" Robot! Best Match!"
Are you ready?
The Four-Panel Ninja Sword clashed with the werewolf's claws, sparks flying, and the other clones also found their respective opponents.
"Build up!"
The alien giant tiger lunged at its prey with powerful limbs, but the best hunters always end up as the prey.
"Steel Moon Salt! Rabbit Tank! YEAH!"
The red and blue knight nimbly dodged as it attacked from the side, while the blue tank fist mercilessly slammed into its side, eliciting a roar.
The giant bear swung its enormous paw at its enemy, seemingly wanting to smash it into a pulp.
"The Shining Destroyer! Gorilla Diamond! YEAH!"
The brown gorilla's fist slapped the giant bear's paw away, and then the two fists, one large and one small, collided violently, creating a shockwave that even cracked the ground around them.
The Lion-headed Monster bursts forth with intense, high-heat light, damaging its enemies and creating the perfect opportunity for itself to attack.
"Undying Weapon! Phoenix Robot! YEAH!"
The red and black knight emitted raging flames, completely unaffected by the Lion-headed Monster's intense light. Seeing this, the monster intensified its attack, but the knight leisurely walked to its side and sent it flying with an uppercut using its left hand equipped with a mechanical claw.
"Fancy and gaudy."
In the monitoring room, Jackal looked at the four experimental subjects who were completely suppressed, and his mouth twitched slightly.
"Hey, it's not too late to run. I sensed it the moment we fought him. He's no match for us right now. Let's slip away before he comes looking for us," the armored man advised.
"Hmph, that's not necessarily true." The Jackal's lips curled into a smile as he pulled up a recording of Xing's previous battle. "Look closely, his attack speed has decreased by about 30% compared to before. Using this kind of armor consumes a considerable amount of stamina. How much longer can he hold out?"
"I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling," the armored man muttered to himself. Seeing the Jackal's confident look, he didn't dare to speak up and dissuade her, since she certainly wouldn't listen.
Back to Xing—
"Well then, it's time to end this!"
Quickly pull the joystick to prepare to unleash the finishing blow.
"Ready GO!" Vortex Finish!"
Several phantom figures surrounded the werewolf. It tried to break free but was repeatedly pushed back. Spiral shurikens of four colors—fire, earth, water, and wind—appeared in the knight's hand, constantly slicing through its body. Finally, the werewolf transformed into a dazzling firework amidst the four-colored radiance.
A parabola composed of white cubes held the alien tiger's body in place, while a blue right foot slammed into its abdomen, piercing straight through its body.
A massive amount of sparkling diamonds engulfed the giant bear's body. The knight leaped high into the air and unleashed a powerful punch, shattering the monster along with the diamonds into pieces.
Red fiery wings unfurled behind the knight, scorching the Lion-headed Monster's body. The mechanical part of his left hand struck the same spot precisely until the Lion-headed Monster exploded completely in his hand.
From then on, all the enemies sent by the Jackal were wiped out, the Knight's figure disintegrated, and only a RabbitTank Form Build remained on the field.
PS: The Hawk Gatling mode wasn't used here because a bottle was left on the Drill Crusher and wasn't brought over.
After collecting their components using Blank Bottle, the knight, who had been through several battles, looked exhausted, his steps unsteady, and he swayed as if he might collapse at any moment.
"Oh dear, what's wrong? Little guy, you look very tired~" A door opened on one side, Jackal with an excited face walked in holding Tran Steam Gun, asking with feigned concern.
"Hey, you're a researcher, can you really go to the battlefield yourself?" the armored man said through the communication channel, embarrassed. "Calm down, leave the fighting to me."
"Hmph, he tricked me a few times before, and today I'm going to get my revenge!" But the Jackal was too hot-blooded to listen to any advice.
"Hmph, the warriors of the Kaslana Family never tire!" The knight, though exhausted, still assumed a fighting stance. "Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve!"
"Alright, you'd better keep your eyes peeled, little guy." The Jackal Fullbottles into the handle, then pulled the trigger, shouting arrogantly, "Blood Steam!"
"Cobra!" Mist Match! Co-Cobra... Cobra... Fire!"
Black smoke enveloped her body, several fireworks exploded, and a red serpentine knight appeared.
Blood Stalk, see above!
"What is this?!" Xing's eyes widened. Could it be that the Jackal actually created this? She shouldn't have the ability to create Lord E well... at most, she could only copy the outer shell.
"Hmph, your surprised expression is quite adorable." The Jackal was pleased with his change in mood, and proudly spread his hands, introducing, "This is Knight System I created based on that woman's unfinished work. Not only are its usage restrictions lower than the Build Driver, but its power—"
The Jackal's figure vanished like a ghost, reappearing beside him and whispering, "It's far stronger than it!"
Boom!
Build's body flew far away like a kite with a broken string, but the Jackal did not stop attacking. It kept chasing after him with a frantic flash, and the knight was hit into the air like a badminton shuttlecock until the Jackal was slightly tired and fell down.
"Huff, huff, researchers really aren't suited for combat. Hey, little guy, where did all that bravado go?" Jackal kicked the dormant Build, the humiliation he suffered at Sachi's hands seemingly washed away in an instant. "Hahahaha! What Build? He was defeated by the Knight System I created!"
"You took advantage of them when they were exhausted, can you not be so smug?" The armored man couldn't stand it anymore and complained.
"Hmph, I don't care, I defeated him, that's a fact!" Overwhelmed by the joy of victory, the Jackal didn't care about anything else. She stepped on the knight's chest, leaned down, and asked with interest, "Hey, little guy, how about becoming my assistant? I can give you far greater power than Tesla, I guarantee you'll have unparalleled strength!"
In some ways, you are indeed better than Tesla, but I'm sorry, I prefer her because she is infinitely better than you in one aspect: she maintained her humanity while pursuing the truth.
"What exactly are you plotting here..." the knight asked weakly, his voice barely audible.
"Plan what?" The Jackal sneered. "Of course, it's a grand experiment that you mere mortals can't even imagine! A project to awaken the dead and revive past glories... Hmph, when that moment arrives, the world will tremble!"
"What are you talking about..." the knight said, unable to understand her words. "You must be crazy..."
"Crazy? Hmph, ignorance is truly pathetic." Jackal sneered, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him up, mocking him, "If you've got the guts, try stopping my plans again, like you did in Changkong City last time, and destroy this base! If you've got the guts, come and fight me! Heh, looks like you can't even lift a finger now, huh? Ahahahaha..."
Jackal's wild laughter echoed in the empty space. The armored man in the monitoring room pondered a question silently—just how much psychological trauma did this child named Xing Kaslana leave on Jackal, that he could be so happy to defeat him?
Just as the Jackal was laughing wildly, a helpless voice came from behind her. In that instant, she felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen.
"Sigh, this is the first time I've ever heard such a shameless request. But since you're so sincere in asking, I'll mercifully grant your wish~"
The boy, a complex child, sat on a high platform to the side, holding a bag of potato chips, and waved at her.
Jackal turned her head in disbelief. The Build she had been holding had vanished like a bubble, as if it had never existed.
"Oh, that was my clone. You were just playing with it. So, how does victory feel?" Sachi jumped down, toying with the gold and blue bottles in her hand, looking at the dumbfounded Jackal with amusement. "Miss Cleo, how are you feeling now?"
"You, your strength isn't what it used to be?!" The Jackal took a half step back in terror. She was about to turn into smoke and escape when Judah's chains bound her tightly, preventing her from breaking free.
"How can I trick you out if I don't pretend to be exhausted?" The boy, who had changed his clothes, taken a shower, and eaten some snacks while the Jackal was dealing with "himself," revealed an incredibly kind smile and inserted the Dragon Lock Combo into his belt.
"Dragon!" Lock! Best Match!"
The two Fullbottles resonated with each other, and the resulting shockwave sent the armored man rushing to rescue the Jackal flying.
Sachi slowly walked forward and unhurriedly pulled the joystick. The conduit extended from the belt, constructing the knight's armor.
Are you ready?
"Transformation."
"Sealed Dream Superstar! Key Dragon! YEAH!"
After stretching his body and feeling the power coursing through him, he couldn't help but exclaim, "No matter how many times I experience it, this form is truly far superior to the others."
With that, blazing blue dragon flames ignited on his right hand, and the knight gently pulled the chain, sending the Jackal flying toward him.
"There's a Shenzhou idiom, 'reciprocity is the best policy,' so it's my turn to return the favor. Don't worry, I'll control my strength."
Bang! Snap! Thud! Crack! Swish!
The Jackal clad in Blood Stalk armor were seen flying up and down in the sky like badminton shuttlecocks, their screams echoing everywhere. I wonder what Lord E he saw this, but Sento and the others would probably give Sachi a big thumbs up.
Oh, and by the way, thank you to Teacher Tom for his cameo appearance!
"Stop!" The armored man tried to rush forward to stop him, but was instantly killed by Xing's ultimate move and flew into the wall to contemplate life.
Hmm, it seems like a small blue thing fell down. I'll go check on it later.
Bang!
The Jackal crashed heavily to the ground, its armor disintegrating. The once smug brown-haired, dark-skinned woman was now in a sorry state. Her Anubis mask was broken, revealing her delicate face and resentful golden eyes. Fortunately, the transformation was broken, and he walked over to her, squatted down, and lifted her chin with interest to examine her closely. "Hmm, not bad looking. You've been chosen as the lab's maid."
"Don't get too cocky, Xing Kaslana!" The Jackal was so angry he almost ground his teeth to powder. "The power of the [Snake] is beyond your imagination. If you dare to lay a hand on me, your friends... ugh!"
Before the Jackal could finish speaking, Xing, with a sinister expression, grabbed her by the neck. "Tell me, if I had used just a little more force, would you be dead right here?"
The mechs and guards protecting the base are rushing here, but how can they possibly stop this monster? Thinking of this, the Jackal felt fear.
"What do you want?" The Jackal, struggling to breathe, looked into those mocking blue eyes and asked with difficulty.
She smiled and loosened her grip on his hand. The Jackal immediately took a deep breath, a sense of relief at surviving the ordeal rising in her heart.
"I enjoy talking to intelligent people, Miss Cleo." Sachi crossed his arms and looked down at her, a scene reminiscent of the Jackal that had just brutally tormented Sachi's clone, but now the roles were reversed.
The once petite boy now seemed so unattainable in the Jackal's eyes. Whatever demands the boy might make next, the jackal would probably have no choice but to accept them for the time being.
"I have only one condition: that [Raven]—a woman named Natasha Siola —immediately leave the World Serpent and cease to exist as [Raven], and that no further action be taken against her afterward. It's that simple. How about that? Pretty good deal, right? Trading the departure of a combatant for the life of a researcher—it's a win-win situation for you, isn't it?"
"You... just for this?" Jackal almost thought he had misheard. He had finally gotten a chance to kidnap him, and it was all for that woman?
Am I really that worthless? You should at least give me some research data on the Divine Key to prove my worth, though Gray Serpent definitely won't give it to me...
Xing looked at Miss Jackal with a puzzled expression, who seemed to have suffered a great blow. Strange, was this request too much? He remembered that in the original story, it wasn't that difficult for Ya Ya to quit.
The reason he made this condition was because his Sister Natasha had once said unintentionally when she was drunk with Himeko and vomiting uncontrollably in his arms, "If I could, I would like to keep living like this forever, but that is unlikely."
"Hey, stop spacing out, do you agree or not?" Xing urged impatiently, pulling out the Alien Hel Bow and pointing it at her temple. "Your life or her, choose one."
"... Since you like Natasha so much, it's fine to give her to you." Jackal snorted and started operating the World Serpent terminal in front of Xing. Just then, she suddenly remembered something: Would Gray Serpent agree?
"(Um, I should be a little more important than her, right?)" Jackal, who was always very confident in himself, hesitated a bit when faced with a matter of life and death.
Surprisingly, after learning the general situation here, the Gray Serpent readily agreed and said that it would try its best to meet any additional conditions if there were any.
Jackal: "..."
"Thinking about it carefully, this seems a bit too good for you." Xing picked up the Smoke Gun and Cobra Fullbottles she had dropped on the ground, and waved them at her a few times. "This is mine now. Oh, right, and this too."
He picked up the loot dropped by the unknown enemy he had defeated earlier (fortunately, he hadn't seen its face). Looking at the blue driver with a wrench-shaped lever in his hand, Yuki's lips twitched involuntarily, and he muttered under his breath, "Goodness, you've even made Grip Driver. I seriously doubt whether you'll be able to make Evol Driver in the future..."
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't afford to make too deep a grudge with the World Serpent, lest he be targeted and maimed, he would have loved to tie up the Jackal right here and lock him up with Tesla, so that he and the Fire-Chasing Squad day and night.
"Just in case, let's keep a backup plan." Xing flicked the Jackal on the forehead before walking away.
After he left, the armored man who had been casually knocked away by Xing cautiously poked his head out from the hole in the wall. "Is he gone?"
"They're gone!" The Jackal, trembling with rage after surviving the ordeal, roared, suppressing his fury, "Raven, this defeat is all because of you!"
"What does this have to do with me?" Armored Man, no, Raven, declared himself innocent.
Just then, a bright red light flashed within the base. "Warning, self-destruct countdown, 10, 9, 8, 7..."
"Why did you set up a self-destruct function here?!" The armored man grabbed the important documents, picked up the Jackal, and quickly ran away.
——Love Gate——
Having just survived a great battle, the young boy, holding Little Te, stood uneasily at the castle gate. After hesitating for a moment, he finally pushed open the gate, which was Fire Moth, and went inside.
Inside the castle, Theresa, with a solemn expression, sat opposite a serene black-haired woman, engaged in a heated discussion, while Rita outside the door waited anxiously, fidgeting with anticipation.
Author's Note—
Yuki and Tesla are like Sento and Ryuga; Tesla himself, like Einstein, are noisy, camaraderie.
Let me explain why Sachi was able to overpower them: the difference in power between the transformed individuals was too great.
