Showdown! Kiana VS Kiana (3)

When the fiery wings soaring through the skies accompany the chosen one, divine power coalesces, and a powerful elven king reigning over the heavens is born.

The body is formed by the Barking Falcon Icarus with its enormous wings, the hands by the offensive GaoGiraffe and the support GaoDeer, the legs by the explosive GaoRhino, and the right foot is filled with the GaoPangolin, which contains incredible power.

The Sky GaoKing —Come on!

This is one of the original final mobile suits of the Hundred Beast Squadron. Unlike the current Sentai's Jenga, the early Sentai's robot mobile suits were quite simple and unpretentious. As far as Hyakujuu is concerned, their mobile suit design is really meticulous, especially the transformation design of the GaoRhino, which is still a stroke of genius even today. Interested readers can learn more about it. The designer at that time was truly a genius.

It's not that I hate the current team's robot, Boutarou's Oni-Taishen and the Lord King of Bug King are also very cool... limited to the initial form.

As for the giant robots in China... it's a pity about the Steel Dragon. The mechs are really good-looking, and oh, there's also the Beast King GoLion.

Ahem, I've gone off-topic again, let's get back on track—

Bang!

Sensing the summoner's wrath, Sky GaoKing's attacks became increasingly violent. It was already a crushing defeat, and now with the added berserk buff, it was even easier. The GaoPangolin transformed into a sphere and detached, then unleashed a powerful Rhino Shot. Without even needing to perform a bicycle kick or a counter-kick, the immense impact shattered the Honkai Beast.

"Oh my? There are such powerful creatures in this world?" The IF Goose, who had been secretly observing everything, narrowed its eyes and turned to look at the IF Bug, who was deep in thought. "Where is your Benares?"

"Bella is long gone. I don't want to use her remains too much, and attacking St. Freya directly would be going too far. What if she gets hurt..."

"So isn't it all your fault? If that 'you' had just obediently come out and faced death, how much trouble would we have been saved? Really..."

IF Goose disdainfully pushed her aside and walked away. If possible, she didn't want to involve innocent people, but if necessary, she wouldn't mind eliminating some troublesome insects.

Fire-Chasing Squad Base One —

Upon seeing the giant Honkai Beast, everyone was prepared to fight with all their might, as they had fought many enemies of this size before. However, the energy reaction seemed to be different from that of ordinary large Chariot-class Honkai Beast.

However, before they could even make a move, five Power Beast arrived at the battlefield through the wormhole, and the combined Elf King annihilated the enemy in an instant before leaving triumphantly.

Just when everyone's CPU was running out of steam, a large number of red feathers fell from the sky, scattering throughout the St. Freya Academy and erasing the teachers' and students' memories of what had just happened.

"This isn't..." The Fire-Chasing Squad, who were unaffected by the Key of Consciousness, exchanged glances as they caught a feather, all thinking of Xing.

Just then, a familiar voice came from the feather, transmitting without hindrance to everyone's minds. "Dr. Tesla's laboratory, big news, come immediately."

After Mortal Tribulation Difficult to Cross, Luming sent a call to her teammates. She felt sorry for the heavily depleted dual pistols, but she still prioritized the present.

For example, that savior lady.

"Ugh, what am I... Hey hey hey, how did I get tied up? Let me go!" Jiu Xiao opened her eyes groggily. Her memories were disconnected and hadn't reconnected in time. She instinctively tried to stand up, but found herself sitting on a specially made torture chair, her hands and feet fixed in place by cold iron shackles. She struggled anxiously, but to no avail.

"Oh, you're finally awake."

Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Hōraiji Kyūshō took a deep breath and declared with righteous indignation, "You fools blinded by darkness! You will not get a single word from the savior!"

Tesla: Σ( ° △ °|||)

Luming: o(一一+)o

Jiuxiao: o(≧口≦)o

Lobster Doctor tilted his head and thought carefully for a while, then turned to his assistant and asked, "Did we ask her anything?"

Note: Tesla also suffers from chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), which is why he can communicate with Jiuxiao without any problems.

Luming rolled her eyes. "Idiot, have you been made stupid by my mom? This guy is probably overthinking things, thinking that she's been Kidnapping by some evil organization and they want to torture her."

"Huh, is there an error in the guiding light?" Jiu Xiao blinked, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw the two men looking at her with sinister eyes. "No, congratulations on guessing correctly."

"Damn it! Taking pleasure in manipulating people's hearts, no wonder you are... Waaah!" Before Jiuxiao could finish speaking, Lumeng, who had been holding back her anger and had nowhere to Luming, sealed her mouth shut and waved her small hand. "Doctor, bring out the torture device you recently invented!"

"(Torture, torture device? Is it the kind that can force people to reveal secrets...)" Jiu Xiao's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but feel scared.

Tesla readily agreed and Little Te to drag out a "massage chair" covered in various cutting devices from the warehouse. "You mean this?"

Jiu Xiao's eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted. Are you sure this isn't an execution device but a torture device?!

"Doctor, it's that one." Luming shook her head helplessly, and Jiu Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the wrong one had been taken.

Tesla nodded thoughtfully, then had Little Te produce an ordinary-looking handgun. "But this thing isn't completely finished yet. There's a fifty percent chance it'll turn someone into an idiot..."

"Waaaaah! (What about the other fifty percent?)"

"Oh, the other fifty percent is turning people into vegetable states," Luming kindly explained to Jiu Xiao.

"Waaaaah! (You are all devils!)" Jiu Xiao was instantly filled with despair. God, I only intervened to help those in need, why did it turn out like this...?

"But Doctor, you've got the wrong one again! It's that one! The one you tried to trick me with last time but got killed instead!" Luming corrected again. Tesla suddenly realized and, with a resentful expression, made Little Te take out a strange metal device the size of a suitcase.

"Huh? (What is this?)" Jiu Xiao was a little confused, but Luming kindly answered for her, "Oh, it's a multi-functional, all-around, multi-angle massage and cleaning machine for cleaning feet, removing impurities, germs, odors, and massaging."

"Waaah! (Speak like a human!)"

"Foot washing machine".

"Ugh~ (Tch~)"

Seeing Jiuxiao's disdainful face, the rabbit and lobster grinned sinisterly. "Silly child, you have no idea what hell awaits you ahead."

When I came back last time to be an idol mentor—

"Welcome back, my dear little helper!"

As Luming stepped into the lab to get the props, Tesla, contrary to his usual behavior, greeted her warmly, helped her with her things, told her to sit down, and poured her a cup of hot tea. This left Luming completely bewildered.

She cautiously removed the special hair fork, dipped it into the cup, stirred it, and only dared to drink it after confirming it was not poisonous.

Seeing Tesla bring out several more plates of small cakes, Luming's small eyes were filled with great confusion. She kindly touched the Lobster Girl's forehead and asked, "Doctor, you don't have a fever today, do you?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Do I look like the kind of woman who only knows how to throw tantrums and curse all day long?" Tesla, hands on her hips, clearly annoyed.

"It doesn't seem like it." Luming nodded honestly, but before Tesla could nod in satisfaction, she added, "Because you are." This almost made Tesla furious.

But then it'll be harder to ask for the official toy. Could it be that Lobster Doctor is after this?

"Hiss! "Luming gasped, her eyes filled with wariness as she looked at Tesla. Good heavens, Lobster Doctor's emotional intelligence has increased!

"Ahem! While you were away, this genius has been quite busy!" Tesla coughed a few times solemnly, then pulled Luming to visit her new invention.

"Ta-da! A fully automatic massage chair!"

"It's comfortable... but how is it any different from what you buy outside?"

"Isn't my design a million times better than theirs?!"

"Ta-da! Glow-in-the-dark sunglasses! Let you see as clearly as in daylight in the dark!"

"... Isn't this just night vision goggles?"

"This, this, this is my latest invention, a multi-functional music player! It lets you enjoy music while surfing the internet and playing Yugi!"

"... Doctor, what's a cell phone for?"

"Will you die if you don't sabotage me?!"

"Then you'd better produce something useful!"

After all that fuss, Luming yawned in boredom. As expected, Lobster Doctor's inventions were another bunch of things that didn't exist, though a few of them might be useful.

"Huff, huff, huff... and here comes today's grand finale!" Tesla took a deep breath and took out the invention she had carefully prepared.

—End of flashback—

(Next, please type "Never Forget Our Original Aspirations" in the public chat, oh no, I mean in the private thread~)

Seeing Jiu Xiao's disdainful expression, completely disregarding the torture device, Xia Tu and his companion smiled sinisterly. It seemed necessary to teach this child a lesson about the wickedness of human nature.

After untying the tape binding the girl's speech, Jiu Xiao coughed a few times, glared at the little girl, and then turned his head away, not wanting to look at her. Luming didn't say anything either, but simply pressed a button in her hand, and the torture chair immediately came to life, extending two mechanical arms from behind and taking off Jiu Xiao's boots.

Feeling a chill on the soles of his feet, Jiu Xiao was instinctively startled and suddenly had a bad feeling.

She had sweated a lot from the exercise, but Jiu Xiao usually took good care of her body, so there was no odor. However, it was still a little embarrassing to have her shoes taken off in this situation.

"Ah!"

The pantyhose covering the girl's thighs were also ruthlessly pulled off, and her ten small, cute toes curled up uneasily. The icy touch gradually crept up her soles, and fear gradually filled Jiu Xiao's eyes. "Are you going to use the most inhuman and ruthless torture methods in the world?!"

"That's right, I'll give you one last chance. Will you talk or not?" Luming stopped the mechanical arm that was pressing the girl's delicate feet into the running foot massager and gave her a smug look.

The savior, steeling her resolve and gritting her teeth, declared resolutely, "I am the chosen one of destiny, my will as firm as a rock. No matter what hardships I endure, I will..."

"Very good, I like people like you." Luming clapped her hands approvingly, then sealed her mouth again and put the blindfold on her.

"Hey, wait a minute, what were we supposed to ask her again?" Tesla suddenly realized and curiously pulled his Rabbit Assistant to ask.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters. Kiana and the others will be here soon. Turn the power up to the maximum and let her have some fun here." Luming glanced at Jiu Xiao, who couldn't even last long, and ruthlessly closed the door to the secret interrogation room.

You dared to barge in and ruin my plans! If it weren't for you, I would have wiped them all out long ago!

P. S.: Lucky thief holds a grudge.

Thus, the cramped space was filled with the girl's wails. Brushes, camellia powder, electric current, artificial slime... all sorts of torture instruments that Tesla could imagine mercilessly ravaged her little feet. While on the verge of collapse, Jiu Xiao suddenly thought of a question.

Wait a minute, did they say what they wanted to ask me?

I... don't seem to have any secrets, do I? Apart from the Savior Driver, which I only recently learned how to use, once I use it to transform, I'm like a different person. I can't help but say things that are hard to understand, and I temporarily gain some skills, but I lose them when I turn off the transformation.

Oh right, I remember now, when we failed in battle before, that girl rescued me, and I remember what she looked like when she transformed...

Could it be that I ran into the creditor in person when I borrowed money?!

Jiuxiao fiercely resisted, trying to break free from the restraints and escape the torment of tickling, but her physical condition was somewhat unsatisfactory before she transformed, and the machine seemed to detect her resistance. A large number of mechanical arms equipped with tickling tools extended from behind and attacked various sensitive parts of the girl's body.

One of the syringes, filled with an unidentified pink liquid, was inserted into her neck and injected entirely from her blood vessels.

Don't worry, it's a booster. But the side effects are a bit unpleasant...

—Let us observe a moment of silence for the savior lady—

(Please have mercy, Jiuxiao fan! This Silly Loli did it on purpose, it was an accident.)

When Kiana and her friends arrived at the familiar laboratory, they didn't see the person they expected, but instead saw a similarly familiar figure.

"You are..." Kiana stared at the white-haired girl whose back was to them, "Me?"

"It should be the 'Kiana' who went out before. There's a high chance she was disguised using some kind of prop." Bronya analyzed calmly, and with her vague senses, she understood something.

"And the disguise was so convincing, she even knew about us..." Mei stared intently at her, already having her answer.

"That's right, there's only one truth!" Rozaliya had somehow changed into Sherlock Holmes's clothes. "Admit it, we've seen through your disguise, Durandal! Don't think we can't tell just because you're wearing a wig!"

Bang! Everyone collapsed to the ground. Could you be any more outrageous?

"Huh, did I guess wrong?" Seeing even the person opposite her fall to the ground speechless, Rosalia dazedly scratched her head, only to be met with a heavy punch from Liliya. "Idiot, that's impossible, isn't it?"

"But last time I clearly noticed that Kiana and Durandal looked exactly alike from behind, just like Liliya and I!"

"Idiot, we are sisters, but they aren't. You must be mistaken."

Fortunately, the disguised Kiana awkwardly got up from the floor, coughed solemnly a few times, trying to regain the atmosphere from before, and then snapped her fingers. The lights in the room immediately dimmed, and the projection device turned on automatically, projecting a vast starry river around her.

"Kiana Kaslana, what would you like to eat for dinner tonight?" Xing asked Kiana a question out of the blue.

"Hmm, should we have a barbecue feast, a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, or both?" Kiana thought seriously for a moment, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Everyone is full of unknown possibilities. Because they all have different futures, and no one dares to say for sure whether something unexpected will happen in the next second."

He started circling around them, his riddle-like remarks leaving the girls with a series of question marks.

"The world is full of unknown possibilities, just like a seed. From the moment it sprouts, it extends along different paths—" A seed appeared in the girl's hand, then quickly sprouted and grew into a sapling. Branches grew from the trunk, and many more branches extended out, and the branches extended again... Soon, a huge branch appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Kiana, do you know? Perhaps just now, several different parallel worlds appeared: you wanting barbecue for dinner, you wanting a Manchu Han Imperial Feast for dinner, and you wanting it all." The girl suddenly appeared behind Kiana and whispered in her ear, but when Kiana turned around, the voice came from in front of her:

"Yes, parallel worlds, their number is like the branches extending from an ever-growing tree, constantly increasing. And under this [infinite] possibility, even the world with the smallest probability will inevitably exist."

"And in an infinite world, there are naturally infinite 'you', falling in love with different people, joining different organizations, and former relatives becoming mortal enemies in another world... all of these are possible."

She waved her arms, creating waves in the starry sky, "And in some wondrous circumstances, worlds that should never have intersected will connect, and people from different futures may even meet."

"Kiana Kaslana, all the crises you are facing today are caused by you from another world, or rather... by your possible future."

"What are you saying? Why can't I understand a word you're saying?" Kiana stammered, her brain racing, racking her brains to try and deduce the answer from the few words she spoke.

She couldn't think of an answer; the brain capacity of a single-celled organism is indeed limited.

She had the answer: there were no fools in the Kaslana Family, but that insane idea made her unable to admit it.

"There's no need to deny it, Kiana, the truth is just as you think—"

"The one that is hunting you down and trying to drive you to your death is one of your futures, you in despair."

The girl's expression was solemn and dignified, like an apostle conveying divine messages through a mortal body. But at that moment, a red light shone from the fabric on her chest, and amidst the "beep beep beep" alarm, the white fur ball shrank into an ultra-small white fur ball.

Luming: (゜▽^*))

Kiana: Σ( ° △ °|||)

"Stinky little sister?!" Kiana nearly popped her eyes out. "Why can you turn into me? No, no, coming to that... did you take advantage of Mei using your sister's body? Watch how I teach you a lesson today... Ouch!"

Before the Kiana could finish speaking, Mei hit him on the head with a wooden Mei from behind. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's much more well-behaved than you. You just tried to burrow into my chest, while Luming only wanted me to pat her head. Can you compare?"

Bronya's expression became subtle. So, the one who proposed that plan to her before was actually... Well, since you came up with it yourself, don't blame me!

Black and White Seele beside her: (Sister Bronya, is it possible that Brother Xing means she took the medicine and knocked you out?)

"Alright, stop fooling around, let's get down to business." Luming coughed awkwardly a few times, signaling Lobster Doctor to turn off the slideshow. The lab lights came back on, and she activated her Magical Girl transformation, floating to Kiana's eye level. Staring into Kiana's eyes, she said, word by word:

"Let's get straight to the point, Kiana Kaslana, can you kill yourself?"

Luming —no, Xing—stared intently at her, her eyes filled with an unprecedented chill.

"To kill a demon, you must first become a demon. Hey, sister, do you have that kind of resolve?"
