Battle Chi Yu, Burn Your Life! (Part 1)

What kind of person is Chi Yu? Luming asked the Five-Dimensional Sisters this question separately.

Haiyi is often abused by her older sister because she is too naughty, weakly describes herself as a short-tempered sister who starts fighting at the slightest provocation.

The eldest sister, Cang Qiong, who lived a peaceful and easygoing life, took a sip of tea and thought of her as a good younger sister who could go to the battlefield and cook at the same time.

Having slept too long in the universe, Stardust Baby, trying hard to recall the past, gives an answer: Sister Xiaoyu is a warm, lively, and loving older sister who cares deeply for her younger sisters.

Shi'an, who was secretly keeping hamsters in her room and checking on the domestication process of the Barber dinosaur, pondered for a while, "Red, hot, very warm, and... I can't remember."

PS1: Shi'an is a seasoned homebody who rarely goes out unless someone carries her out.

PS2: According to the explanation from the Cang Qiong, the Five-Dimensional Sisters can connect with the Earth Will and automatically synchronize the language of local intelligent beings. However, the stardust that slept in the universe for too long did not enjoy this benefit in time and only slowly recovered after returning.

At this moment, Luming's assessment of Chi Yu, based on her own experience, is:

"Pure destructive desires..."

Yes, in Luming's eyes, Chi Yu exuded not only her own fiery red color, but also a darkness that had been forcibly added to her.

Chi Yu is easily angered. According to Stardust and the others, although Akabane is lively, she has to always treat people coldly because of her own reasons. Her emotions are easily out of control, and once she loses control, she cannot suppress her destructive desires. Unfortunately, she is the strongest among the five.

Therefore, whenever Chi Yu loses control, Shian locks her in a stone cell he built himself to prevent her from making any irreparable mistakes.

Now, with his health and mana depleted, Yukito is facing Akabane alone, who already has a berserk buff and is now Chi Yu.

"If I were a character in a novel, I would curse the author who keeps setting up amazing situations for me to become Silly Loli who gets bullied every day!"

Seeing Chi Yu's murderous gaze fixed on her, Luming sighed while simultaneously becoming extremely vigilant, because this might be... Why the hell am I either in a potentially deadly battle, or on my way to a potentially deadly one?!

I want a vacation!!!

Hey Stardust, why the hell aren't you answering my calls? Hurry up and come here, and don't forget to bring Haiyi along so this steampunk duo can have their love-hate relationship!

Under the bewildered gaze of the Magical Girl Lady, Chi Yu slowly raised a delicate hand, and a fireball containing intense heat took shape. She tilted her head and glanced at the prepared Luming before gently tossing it out.

And then, that was it.

The fireball, no bigger than a basketball, exploded with a deafening roar after flying several meters away. A blinding light instantly enveloped the entire sky, and in an instant, the earth cracked open, spewing out countless streams of lava. The active volcano even showed signs of erupting.

But...

"Celestial Technique—"

The spreading energy instantly converged at a single point, and the destructive shockwave that Chi Yu had just thrown out quickly contracted back, finally collapsing into a hand wearing a red glove.

As the flames subsided, the white-haired, red-eyed immortal stood in the clouds, casually smoothing his slightly messy red-streaked white hair behind his waist. He beckoned to Chi Yu and assumed the starting stance of the Cun Xin Fist Style.

Fu Hua Phoenix, please join us!

Using a blazing bird against a blazing bird, a flat against a flat, isn't that perfectly reasonable of me?

"A serious punch!"

Two figures vanished from their original positions in an instant, then reappeared in mid-air, unleashing a powerful tremor. However, in this initial battle, Chi Yu was at a disadvantage. After all, at this stage, Akabane Chicken was strictly speaking more of a mage; how could he possibly compete with the all-around warrior who excelled in both martial arts and magic?

The immortal punched him hundreds of miles away. After striking him, he didn't stop there. This was a transformation performed using Omnitrix, which could only be maintained for a very short time. He wanted to finish the battle quickly!

"Sword, come!"

The azure Dominion Key, Ruoshui, appeared in her hand, drawing upon the waters of the heavens (this is a volcanic island with the sea nearby) to attack Chi Yu, intending to knock her unconscious and take her back.

Taixu Sword Form - Opening Sword - Instant Dust

However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. When the immortal raised his sword to slash at Chi Yu in an instant, he suddenly felt that an even stronger fire power erupted from Chi Yu's body. Her clothes changed accordingly, and a long sword appeared in her hand, which blocked Ruoshui's slash.

Seeing this, Luming thought to herself, "Oh wow, the Boss has entered the second stage."

The first phase of Chi Yu's character art looks like the performance outfit I saw in my past life, which means that was her everyday clothes. Now she seems to be getting serious... Wait a minute, does that mean I used my ultimate move first?

In the second phase, Chi Yu's clothing style changed to a combination of a wanderer and a swordsman, traveling light. To be Luming really dislikes this kind of clothing that, although it doesn't show any nipples, exposes a lot of skin. It's like the art director deliberately made the character show off their body to cater to the tastes of otaku.

PS: This only represents Luming's personal opinion. I like it very much, but I don't think the character itself is like it.

Despite her thoughts, the fight still had to begin. Ruoshui and Chi Yu's black blade clashed fiercely. With the Fu Hua's Father's blessing, Luming successfully maintained the momentum of pressing Chi Yu. After all, both of them were fire-type, so she could only fight against those who were immune. But she was more than just someone who knew how to play with fire.

Wait a minute, what's that flashing?

Ding dong ding dong ding dong~

The mechanical emblem on the fairy's chest flashed red rapidly. Seeing this, Luming felt bitter, but she could not say it.

That's less than ten seconds! Even Ultraman isn't that fast, is he?

Despite the complaints, reality had to be faced. Sensing that the opponent's aura was rapidly waning, a red light flashed in Chi Yu's eyes, and the blade immediately changed direction, delivering a head-on slash from below. The strike, imbued with the power of fire, sent the immortal flying.

Strangely, after unleashing this strike, Chi Yu did not press his advantage. Instead, he gritted his teeth, plunged the tip of the blade into his foot, and forcibly immobilized himself in place, clutching his head in pain and pounding it repeatedly.

"Don't... try to... order me around!"

Thick black mist emanated from her body, enveloping her like a large net. Chi Yu roared, and blazing flames ignited on her body as she resisted this force. However, the struggle did not last long before Chi Yu's own flames were suppressed again, and the faint clarity that had appeared in her eyes faded away.

Unaware that she had been knocked away, Luming successfully blocked the damage by taking advantage of the time it took to deactivate her transformation. She then put on the Ex-Aid Driver and performed a nested transformation while still in her Magical Girl form.

Dr. Tesla said that Valkyrie Armor and Knight System should not be used together. The two incompatible combat systems may conflict. Moreover, the earliest Knight System - Build - is extremely harmful to the human body. Try to use Desire Driver and do not transform into Build casually.

But now, she can't care about that anymore.

"The Camera Full Bottle and the Card Full Bottle are still cooling down from overuse last time, so..."

"Ninja!" Comic! Best Match!"

Facing Chi Yu with her initial Build would be suicidal, but Luming had her own plans. She never intended to defeat Chi Yu alone; she just wanted to stall for time.

Those bastards, answer the phone already!

In the distance, Star Sea Wind and his three friends were having a great time throwing snowballs, completely unaware of their incessantly ringing cell phones.

Water Release: Tornado Rain Strike!

With a flick of her Four-Panel Ninja Sword, Ninja Build Rider fully utilized the powerful mobility of this form, transforming into multiple clones that spun rapidly around Chi Yu. Chi Yu, with a cold expression, swung her sword, and flames mixed with black energy destroyed all the clones around her, but the original body was not found among them.

"Ready——"

The sound effects of Build Rider's ultimate move had barely begun when Chi Yu, seemingly having anticipated it, swung her sword backhand and pierced the abdomen of Build Rider, who had suddenly appeared behind her preparing to launch a sneak attack. Build Rider's hand gripping his weapon loosened weakly, and he staggered back a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

Upon seeing this, a glimmer of clarity returned to Chi Yu's eyes, and a familiar scene flashed through his mind.

It was a past she didn't want to recall. When she came to her senses from being out of control, the earth was riddled with holes, the Haihe River had dried up, there was not a breath of wind in the sweltering air, and even the Stars in the sky had lost their luster.

"Get out!"

The girl was burning with rage. She didn't want to take a life, but her easily out-of-control power always made her do things against her will. But even so, it was still better than being controlled by that wicked guy right now!

Just as Chi Yu was preparing to muster all his strength to fight that bastard, he suddenly heard a flippant voice. "You guessed wrong, that's fake~"

The words had barely left her lips when the fallen Build Knight turned into a wooden figure in a puff of white smoke. Chi Yu was both amused and exasperated. "She's a clever girl after all... Run! You can't beat me!"

The Little Firebird roared inwardly, "Don't try to be a hero and stop her! We've been on Earth for several cycles already, and every guy who tried to stop her from going out of control has been burned to ashes!"

P. S.: In the previous era, the Five-Dimensional Sisters slept very well. But in the earlier civilizations, the Chi Yu, at her peak, fought many monsters. Did you think I was just joking when I said the Five-Dimensional Sisters could restart human civilization?

"Kaizoku!" Ressya! Best Match!"

They quickly switched to a sea chariot and started driving the Pirate Train, changing positions while launching an attack on Chi Yu. However, before the shots could even hit Chi Yu, they were burned away by the flames surrounding her.

You're so angry, let me help you calm down!

"Harinezumi!" Syoubousya! Best Match!"

Luming switched to her Hedgehog Fire Truck form, raised the multi -Water Gun on her left arm, and sprayed high-pressure water jets at Chi Yu. She didn't expect this move to harm Chi Yu; she just hoped to buy him some time. If all else failed, she could use her Magnet Ghost form to become immune to physical attacks.

However, Luming's unintentional act angered Chi Yu.

"... Don't remind me of that awful memory of the jellyfish dragging me into the deep sea!!!"

Although the small splash in front of her was nothing compared to the vast ocean, the sensitive Chi Yu was easily provoked and subconsciously released an attack. Unable to dodge in time, Luming was hit by this sudden attack and was sent flying before she could switch forms. Her armor exploded with a series of sparks as she crashed into a protruding reef on the beach. Her armor shattered and her transformation ended. The unconscious girl fell into the sea, still clutching the Magnet Bottle and Ghost Bottle that she hadn't had time to use.

"I, I... um!"

Before Chi Yu could feel remorse, the bastard controlling her accelerated the process of erosion while she was angry about the past and her defenses were slightly weakened. He forced her to focus all her attention on the fight and had no time to care about anything else.

—Burn, life!—

Damn it, this body is so fragile...

Even though she was easily defeated by Chi Yu, Yuki, who was unconscious, still felt resentful.

He had fought against so many powerful enemies and never retreated no matter what dangers he encountered, but now he had to stop fighting because of his weak body?

Who do you think you are? Help me up! I can still fight!

I'm going to beat up all those useless teammates who are always bothering me when nothing's wrong, but are never there when something's going on!

As her hazy consciousness gradually cleared, she felt light and airy, as if she had been freed from some heavy shackles, becoming unrestrained and able to go wherever she wanted.

"Huh? How did I turn back?"

The boy opened his eyes, raised his hand, and couldn't help but sigh at the sight of the long-unseen men's clothing, wondering how long he could stay in this state. But before he could even surface to begin the second round, he sensed something was wrong.

Who is that little girl lying on the seabed like Sleeping Beauty across from me? Why does she look so much like my alternate account?

The boy instinctively reached out to pull her closer, only to find that his hand passed right through her body. In shock, he suddenly realized that his body seemed somewhat surreal.

"Could it be that I am currently in an out-of-body state?"

Seeing the ghostly bottle clutched tightly in his hand, he seemed lost in thought, thanking the Jackal for the enormous price he'd paid to create that bugged monster.

Jackal: "Bullshit! It was my confinement facility that malfunctioned and let it escape!"

"But what do we do now? Although I can ignore most attacks in my soul state, how am I supposed to fight like this? Am I supposed to enter Chi Yu's body and fight her for control of it? I'm quite confident in my consciousness, but who knows what kind of methods she might have to suppress my soul, after all, she's an avatar of the Nature Goddess Zero..."

Just as I was struggling with this, two points of light suddenly appeared in front of me. Upon closer inspection, I realized that they were the Fire Truck Full Bottle and the Ghost Full Bottle. It seemed that they had sensed the will of their holders and resonated with each other, even though they had no connection whatsoever.

The driver detached automatically, just like the incredible power it displayed when it first obtained the Fire Truck Full Bottle. The Hedgehog Full Bottle was kicked away, and an unseen hand replaced the Ghost Full Bottle, automatically placing itself on Soul Happiness's waist.

Even without sensing the wearer, the driver extended its belt, and the lever started to turn on its own, causing the two full bottles to open the gate to a new power.

"This is... wait a minute, what can Fire Truck and a ghost conjure up? These two things don't seem like a good match at all, do they? And..."

Just as Xing was somewhat bewildered by this sudden turn of events, a warm, large hand gently rested on his shoulder. The boy shuddered and wanted to turn around, but heard the person behind him whisper:

[Hey, little sister, oh no, little brother, what did you say again? "This isn't a miracle, it's the will of mortals," right?]

So, let's see what kind of miracles the will of us mortals can create!

The power of fantasy triggered a resonance that was impossible to achieve, and a brand new knightly power descended upon this world line, which meant that the knightly power born in the Honkai Branch World had formed a new connection.

A crimson light flew out from the Ex-Aid Driver, and the two full bottles lost their original brilliance. Sachiya felt the hand on his shoulder gradually lighten, and the voice behind him gradually faded.

"Please accept this. We've lingered here for so long; it's time for us to join our ancestors. Helping you before that happens is enough; we can die without regrets..."

Fortunately, he felt a stinging sensation in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Some things can be understood without verbal communication.

The boy stretched out his hand with all his might, trying to grab the ball of light.

It brings warmth, like the torch left by the pioneers.

The ball of light gradually shrank in his hand, eventually turning into a red and black sphere with a circle in the center of the black body, which at first glance looked like an eyeball.

At the same time, flames ignited at the waist of the boy's soul, and a brand new driver emerged, the main body of which was a large-eyed monster shell that appeared to have a handle.

(Sorry, I'm not good at describing it. Please take a look at the pictures I'll post later.)

"Thank you. Well then, please allow me to say it this way!"

The boy pressed a button on the side of his eyeball, and a unique symbol immediately appeared in the central hole, with flames burning inside.

He opened the casing of the waist driver, placed the eyeball in his hand inside, and then closed it. A raging fire ignited in the water, enveloping him.

A red outer garment flew out from the eye in the middle of the belt, swirling around him. Xing solemnly made several mysterious hand seals, and finally pulled the lever. The surrounding flames gathered on his body, covering him in a bright red armor in his soul form. Black flame patterns spread all over his body, and the hooded jacket was also draped over his body, giving him a terrifying one-horned mask.

P. S.: The author's description is not good; let's leave this part for Cavaliers fans to savor.

Ashore--

Chi Yu struggled desperately, but the unpleasant black mist clung to her like a leech, gradually taking over her consciousness and erasing the beautiful memories she had shared with Stardust and the others. Just as Chi Yu was in despair, a bright red light appeared on the sea not far away.

"One Shot Soul!"

"Eye~Bacchiri Mina~Bacchiri Mina~"

"Soul Unlocking! Boost! I'll push it! Exhilarating Ghost!"

As Chi Yu watched in astonishment, the sea surged violently, creating towering columns of water. The crimson knight emerged from within, flying erratically through the air like a ghost before finally landing on the ground.

He casually took off his hoodie, and his exclusive weapons, the Sunglasses Saw Blade and the Eye Gun Saber, separated from the driver and were held in his hands. Facing Chi Yu, whose eyes showed a hint of hope, he assumed the starting stance of the Lightning Dual Blade Style.

"Burn—life!"

Author's Introduction: The Rider that Sachi transforms into in this chapter is based on the Soul Form of Takeru Tenkuji, the protagonist of "Kamen Rider Ghost". This Rider's ability is to fight using different Heroic Eye Souls, and he also has the ability to recall the souls of corresponding historical figures under a few easily fulfilled conditions.

Unfortunately, the Ghost born in the Honkai World does not have such a bugged ability; it merely replicates Ghost's nature of ignoring physical attacks.

At the same time, the inability to easily collect other Eye Souls creates a significant hidden danger for those who transform into them during battle:

Ghost is a knight who uses his soul to transform into a warrior; his initial form utilizes his own soul, therefore—

Once one's Eye Soul suffers irreversible damage in battle, it is equivalent to death.

(Even though Takeru Tenkuji's soul was shattered, he could still revive.)

Furthermore, just like the registration for this transformation, "One Shot Soul," as the name suggests, there's only one chance. After this, if he wants to transform again, he must be in a near-death state.
