The battle between me and myself, part eight
"It actually awakened..."
Looking down at the completely transformed Kiana, IF Bug couldn't help but sigh.
However, in the endless hunt, there are many examples of Kiana awakening the power of the Stigmata on the verge of death, who ultimately fell to her sword.
However, this new form seems to contain some kind of unprecedented power. What is it?
Kiana tossed Luming to Jiu Xiao, who was waiting on the ground, and swung her sword through the air. In just a moment, she returned to the high-altitude platform, and her giant sword, wreathed in flames, slammed down heavily on the IF Bug in the form of the Jaou Dragon.
The opponent also unleashed their ultimate attack, and the two powerful forces collided. After a brief stalemate, both were blasted back dozens of meters.
"Ugh! This sword is so exhausting!" Kiana's expression changed drastically. She hadn't felt anything in that strange place before, but now, in the real world, every swing of the Heavenly Fire Judgment - Oath of Protection consumes double the stamina. The last sword strike even made her vision go black.
It's hard to imagine how Sachi managed to fight with it before...
—Tap tap open!—
On the ground, Jiu Xiao looked at his teammates who were fighting fiercely above, and then at himself holding Luming Lady, feeling inexplicably annoyed.
Also, this should be the first time I've seen this very pretty girl. Why did my legs start shaking and my feet go numb the moment I saw her?
"Hey, you there, did that kid named Sachi take me in just to be his logistics guy?!"
There's no other way; I can't fully commit to the battle while carrying an unconscious teammate, and I don't feel comfortable leaving him here.
Boom!
The body reacted before the brain, inserting the Accelerate Faiz control card. Nine Heavens narrowly avoided the wrecked Titan flying from Welt's doll body with Luming, thus avoiding the tragic end of being crushed to death.
"Hmm, let me see if there are any cards that can provide buffs to teammates from the rear, or provide remote support." Jiu Xiao carried Luming, opened the card box and searched for the cards he needed. A card engraved with the image of the ultimate, invincible, cute Idol Lady automatically popped out of the card box.
Miss Savior glanced at it and decisively stuffed the card into the card box. What use is an idol? Can singing and dancing give your teammates a buff? This is a battle, for crying out loud! Get serious!
Wait a minute, Jiu Xiao's mind suddenly went blank. According to Xing's explanation, all the cards here originated from him, so who is this idol's card...?
A blush crept onto Jiu Xiao's face, and his breathing quickened involuntarily. "A girl, a cross-dressing boy or something, seems pretty good?"
Just as the savior, who was momentarily distracted, was indulging in daydreams, the doll's fingers flicked, and then its heterochromatic red and blue eyes opened, flashing with a glimmer of life.
—When I'm writing, this Silly Loli likes to listen to something, like right now I'm listening to a song from Honkai Impact 3rd—
Black Seele couldn't stop retreating, and the scythe in her hand gradually lost its grip.
"What's wrong, my other self? You shouldn't only have this kind of power!!"
IF Seele's attacks became increasingly fierce, each strike more powerful than the last, her blood-red eyes filled with madness.
"Damn it..." Black Seele wanted to fight like before, but she couldn't.
She originally thought that even if the other side had their own IF version, it would be the version of themselves who lost Seele. However, the situation turned out to be the opposite.
What did she go through? Black Seele didn't want to know the answer.
"In my world, Kiana overcame Sirin's trials, but when she fought against the enemy known as the Herrscher of the Thousand, her inner barrier was breached, and she became their puppet!"
A sharp scythe sliced across the girl's delicate profile, drawing a line of blood. The splattered blood seeped into IF Seele's eyes, adding to the crimson hue Black Seele gritted her teeth, picked up her weapon, and continued to defend herself. Her bangs fell, obscuring one eye. "Please, don't say anything..."
But recalling that hellish scene, IF Seele had already gone mad. She increased the force in her hand, knocking Black Seele's weapon away and forcing her to retract her claws to defend herself, creating a lot of sparks as they rubbed against the scythe.
"She pretended to be uncontrolled, joined us, and then..."
"Stop talking!"
"Caught off guard, we were severely injured! Sister Bronya was killed on the spot, Mei was seriously wounded, and Fu Hua was also slashed by her sword. Because of the special nature of her Dominion Theater and the power of the Herrscher of the Thousand, we were separated. I was too weak to fight her, and you protected me..."
"Stop talking!"
Black Seele suddenly sprang up, her two sharp claws knocking away IF Seele's scythe, and almost pounced on her, trying to gag her.
However, two familiar-looking claws emerged from the ground and grabbed her ankles, rendering her unable to move freely.
"Thanks to everyone's sacrifice, you successfully broke through a door, but, but..."
Crimson liquid flowed from her eyes, which had long since dried up from tears, revealing the deep blue that had been obscured by the crimson.
"Kiana and the other puppets' attacks prevented us from escaping smoothly. In desperation, you threw me in, and in the end, you fought them all by yourself..."
IF Seele choked up as she finished speaking her last words, "Why didn't you abandon me? Why did you always protect me? I... I wanted to protect you too! You're not my alter ego, you're an equal to me, an independent soul, not a cheap substitute discarded as I grew up to bear my negative emotions. You're my most important friend and family!"
She hated herself for being so foolish and hesitant back then, for failing to convey the words she had kept hidden in her heart sooner.
She still can't forget the expression on the face of that other version of herself when she grabbed her wrist and threw her toward the exit.
She was smiling.
A relieved, at ease, and carefree smile.
Go, Seele, leave this place alone, and then, live on.
You can protect yourself on your own now, and you don't need me anymore. So, let me protect you one last time.
She didn't speak, but the two had known each other for a long time, and sometimes they didn't need words; a single glance was enough for them to understand each other's thoughts.
After all, they were the closest, inseparable soulmates, the most cherished sisters.
The claws that had been restraining Black Seele's actions had somehow loosened, and she slumped to the ground like a deflated balloon, staring blankly at IF Seele kneeling on the ground, weeping with her face covered.
A gust of wind blew by, lifting her bangs.
Both blue and red eyes were silently shedding tears.
—Uh, are you guys trying to say I'm not human?—
As the blades clashed, their beliefs collided.
"Answer me, why did you hurt so many Kiana with that guy?!" Mei unleashed a blinding burst of lightning, her relentless attack forcing IF Mei to temporarily retreat.
"I was saved by her just like you, so curse me all you want, I'm used to it!" IF Mei didn't dodge Mei's almost murderous gaze at all. Her eyes flashed with purple light, and a crimson alien dragon flew down from the dark clouds, releasing a violent breath that shot towards Mei.
"So why is that? You shouldn't have sided with her, offering her the help and companionship she needed most during her darkest hour, just like she did for me!"
"Of course!"
Mei temporarily avoided the attack, but IF Mei's figure appeared like a ghost through her breath, and the raised blade slashed a long, bloody gash on Mei's arm.
"But, but, but!"
Recalling that moment, IF Mei's expression twisted.
"It's no use! No matter how hard I try, it's no use!"
Mei was about to speak when IF Mei's almost chaotic, injury-for-injury fighting style forced her to lose focus.
"Durandal took her away from me, Kevin used the power of heavenly fire to take her life, and even though I wanted to ascend to the top and become the master of lightning, the headmistress dragged me down from the steps of the gods..."
"You keep denouncing my weakness, but if you were to witness the Finality, would you have experienced even a fraction of the despair I felt?!"
Mei stared in astonishment, her eyes widening, feeling a strange unease in her heart.
"Yes, right before my eyes, there is a girl like an angel, a girl who would rather sacrifice herself to save the world, a girl who never gives up no matter what kind of predicament she faces..."
"It has become the strongest apostle of the Honkai, the Herrscher of Finality that will destroy humanity."
She smiled bitterly, spread her hands, and showed this world to her, a world pieced together from countless wastelands.
"Isn't it ironic? The world is so cruel, it won't even spare her a shred of kindness..."
"If it were me... at least she could leave without any regrets, at least she could leave with her body intact, at least she could retain her unbroken ideals..."
—My answer is, that's it? If you can't handle this, don't bother reading the rest!—
"Why, why are you loved and have such a wonderful life?!"
If Wendy explodes, since she doesn't have much screen time in the original timeline, and can't use this as an excuse to put psychological pressure on Wendy, she can only vent her anger and dissatisfaction by bickering.
On the other side, facing IF Duck's powerful firepower, Ya Ya, who was driving and trying to hack into the program, frowned and realized that things were not so simple.
"Detection shows... a remote connection exists?"
On the other side...
"That's about all for now, Welt Young, no, Joachim."
The man raised the simulated Star of Eden in his hand and issued an ultimatum to the man kneeling on the ground.
Suddenly, a beam of light flew from the horizon and, without warning or time to react, pierced through the man's chest.
He staggered back a few steps, clutching his blood-stained chest, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The beam of light pierced through both of them, their bodies gradually disintegrating and disappearing. Welt Yang stared in disbelief at his slowly disintegrating self, then looked in a distant direction, a look of understanding in his eyes.
In the end, only mountains of steel debris remained in the area, not even a fragment of some kind of crystal.
"Operation successful."
In a dilapidated building in the distance, the Silver Wolf, who had been lying in wait for a long time, put down his weapon that was emitting black smoke and said these words expressionlessly.
"The Third Divine Key was successfully used to snipe the target. Welt Yang's vital signs have been confirmed to be absent."
The hastily constructed Key of Judgment vanished as a speck of light. She slowly leaned against the wall and sat down, suddenly feeling a sweet taste in her throat, and vomited a large amount of blood.
"As expected, his body couldn't take it either, just like that cannon fodder..."
She gave a self-deprecating smile. "After all, I'm just a temporary imposter. If I hadn't been there when Mr. Welt died in battle, I would never have had the chance to inherit this core..."
"Cough cough!" She coughed up another mouthful of blood, reached into her chest, and took out the transparent core with a trace of blood on it.
"Finally, let this imposter, who was brought in at the last minute, give off his last bit of energy..."
"Get moving, Heavenly Father..."
The cold iron armor imprisoned the girl's petite body, turning it into a prison that constantly drained her of her power.
Bronya tried to trace the source of the signal to cut off control and convert that version of herself into her own forces, but halfway through the drive, her fingers, which had been constantly typing on the virtual keyboard, stopped. A missile grazed past her, and a mushroom cloud rose behind her, but Bronya didn't care. Instead, she looked up.
The massive steel golem strode heavily from afar, crushing the pitch-black humanoid figure who was still carrying out combat commands with a single kick, before numbly launching a new attack on her.
"Ah, I knew it."
Bronya, frustrated, struggled to dodge the Father's attacks on her Motorcycle Rabbit. "Hey, Sachi, please hurry up and activate your new cheat! I really can't fight this way. If you don't step up your game soon, your girlfriend is going to die."
—Don't blame Ya Ya for being weak; you can't expect an ordinary little girl with only a Stand to win against an enemy she can't possibly defeat.—
The focus should indeed be on Kiana. After carefully calculating the remaining energy in her mind, Kiana temporarily put away the Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection and took out the Flame Sword Liehuo fight the enemy again.
PS: This sword light appears in the real world and consumes energy every second, meaning it can only be used by those with Herrscher Core as batteries.
She tried to resummon the Knight's Judgment, but at this moment she had lost that vague feeling.
Perhaps the armor I'm wearing now is the embodiment of the Knight's Judgment?
Before she could think it through, the sound effect of Wang Jian's ultimate move echoed in her ears, and she had no choice but to raise her sword to meet the attack.
To make matters worse, without any restraint, she now has to fight two against one.
She already has to use all her skills against just the IF Bug, and if another IF Goose as powerful as Durandal comes along, the Kiana wants to curse.
Can't we have a proper fight? If you're so capable, let's have One for One match!
In the darkness, Kiana seemed to hear a disdainful sneer. Strange, why did that voice sound so much like her brat brother?
—A mockery from General Xing, who habitually takes on an entire galaxy single-handedly in Ultraman crossover episodes.
"A decent counterattack awakening, very much in line with the plot of an anime protagonist, but—" IF Bug gently stroked the blade of the Dark Holy Sword in his hand, "It's meaningless, you can't resist it."
"That's not necessarily true!" Kiana spread her wings and was about to launch an attack when suddenly her vision blurred, and she found herself standing in front of the IF Bug, which was raising its sword to strike.
Not far away, IF Goose slowly drew the Time-State Sword Realm Time again, waiting for the next opportunity for a time jump.
Kiana struggled to adapt to the sudden leap, and her offensive stance was interrupted. She tried to retreat and create distance to regroup before launching another attack, but the sword had already fallen.
That ominous, dark holy sword, tainted by sin, whose mere approach evokes the sound of countless wails echoing in one's ears.
She gripped the nascent, naive, and yet unknown Holy Sword of Flame in her hand, unaware of the challenges that lay ahead.
In that instant, Kiana Kaslana felt utterly isolated, helpless, and alone.
She felt incredibly small and naive.
She developed a fear of the unknown, a premonition about the future that came from the depths of her soul and was based on the laws of the world.
Clang!
The Flame Sword Liehuo flew high into the air, tracing several arcs before finally landing on a steep rock behind Kiana.
The blade was deeply embedded in the rock, which shows how much impact it had endured.
Kiana instinctively activated the wings of light on her back to create distance. When her mind cleared up the situation, she realized that a long slit had been cut into the armor on her chest.
Cold sweat instantly soaked her back, and the sense of security that had just been brought to her by the awakening of her new power vanished. "You little brat, you lied to me! What happened to the newbie protection period?"
In the depths of her being, Kiana seemed to hear another disdainful sneer.
—A General Xing, who used his strength to utterly defeat a bunch of people who had gained new forms and made them suffer.
"Accept it. You can't resist it. Trying to resist will only increase your suffering."
IF Bug pointed his sword at Kiana, whose mind was racing. His eyes held a complex mix of helplessness, pain, and a hint of barely perceptible expectation.
"Look around you, look at the companions who have sacrificed for you, look at the hardships they are facing, is it worth it?"
IF Bug swung its sword, and a dark purple crescent-shaped sword aura flew past Kiana, slicing a crack in the space in the distance.
"Ask yourself honestly, do you deserve them going to such lengths?"
"Accept all of this. Don't bring pain upon yourself. It's fine if you bear the pain yourself, but don't drag Mei and the others down with you."
The IF Bug's words were like nails, piercing through her flesh and hammering into the very decision Kiana had just made.
"I... will never give in to you!" Kiana looked down, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.
"I don't know what kind of despair you've endured, but... you have no right to take away our future. From any perspective, our world is determined by ourselves, not by you!"
"Whether it is despair or hope, I will choose to move forward, even if an endless abyss awaits me."
"I will continue to move forward, together with those who love me and whom I love!"
"Regardless of morality, justice, or evil... this is [my] choice!"
Kiana drew her Heavenly Fire Judgment: Oath of Protection once more, channeling all her power into her gaze as she stared intently at the IF Bug before her. "I spent a short but incredibly beautiful time with them, and now you want me to give it all up and die... I'm sorry, but I'm not some great person, nor am I a heartless fighting machine, nor am I a glorious warrior. I'm just a little girl who's afraid of death, that's all!"
"That's all. My purpose in fighting this battle is simply to survive—together with everyone!"
The IF Bug remained silent. Facing Kiana, who was charging up her energy, she shook her head and looked at her as if she were looking at a distant version of herself.
"Is that so? I understand now. How foolish, yet... how sublime? Was I really like this before?"
"Thank you, it was nice to meet you, and then—goodbye."
Time Erasure —
In a colorless world, IF Goose, wielding the Holy Sword of Time, endures immense pressure as it slowly walks behind Kiana, who is gathering heavenly fire.
At the Time Reversal!!!
Sensing the change in space before her, Kiana didn't hesitate for a moment. She immediately turned her weapon and slashed behind her, simultaneously ascending rapidly into the air. But the next second—
Time Erasure — Time Reversal!!!
The scene before her changed once again, Kiana was startled. She then realized that she had flown into the sky.
Destructive energy gathered behind her. She had no time to dodge. The next second, the holy wings of light were forcibly cut off her back by the IF Goose, and the Heavenly Fire Judgment - Oath of Protection in her hand also disappeared.
The fallen angel lost its wings and fell from the sky.
—Ahem, get ready, battle song begins! Put on your headphones!—
"All over the street, shining the old neon."
"In endless rain, what have you had."
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(Throughout the block, the old neon lights still flickered.)
(In the endless rain, what have you become?)
Whereabouts.
Whereabouts.
It kept falling.
Kiana opened her eyes and saw everyone struggling in the midst of a fierce battle.
"How many times, I wanna wake you up."
"Given you up, go up on my own way alone."
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(There have been many times when I wanted to wake you up.)
(Now I have abandoned you and continue my journey alone.)
Mei was on the verge of collapse under the pursuit of the demonic dragon, and Black Seele, having lost her will to fight, was powerless to continue.
Wendy's side is locked in a stalemate, while Bronya is gradually driven to the brink of despair under the Father's relentless attacks.
"Who we are? How far we've gone?"
Let us heal the misery and
Plant the seed we ever promised."
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(Who are we? How far have we come?)
(Let us heal all suffering and sow the seeds of hope, as we have promised.)
Was it all really worth it?
Everyone, is it really worth it to go to such lengths for me?
By the way, what about Xing?
"Plant the seed we ever promised.
Time's up!
"Go grab your arms! No matter how hard we have beenWe shall fight for-E-VER!"
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(Sow the seeds of hope, as we promised.)
(Time is of the essence! Pick up your weapons!)
(No matter how many hardships we endure, we must keep fighting!)
On the ravaged land, the songstress sang alone.
An incredible halo rose beneath her feet, transforming into a stage created solely for her.
An invisible force spread out, providing all the help it could to its companions.
Jiuxiao was dumbfounded; singing and dancing really does give you a buff!
"I hear it from no one, It occurs to me the old world."
"It may have said no word, But I have to keep knowing:"
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(I heard a voice in the darkness that reminded me of that old world.)
(Although he never said it, I always remember it:)
The man rubbed his head as he walked out of the tent, thinking that Xing's suggestion during the meeting was really good. Sometimes it would be good to learn from that cunning old man Otto and have a few spare bodies.
Jiu Xiao stared blankly as cards flew out of his card box, swirling around the Idol Lady singing her heart out, before turning into several points of light and flying towards everyone.
"I hear it from no one, It occurs to me the old world."
"It may have said no word, But I have to keep knowing:"
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(I heard a voice in the darkness that reminded me of that old world.)
(Although he never said it, I always remember it:)
Gold filled Black Seele's pupils. She stood up, dusted herself off, and, carrying her scythe, walked toward IF Seele, who had sensed something was amiss.
"Ha, this must be your first time fighting using Seele's body, right? Well then, I won't hold back~"
"If you can't bear to hit her, then I'll help you kill her."
"That's what Hilary said."
"Carved on stones"
"Buried deep in the earth"
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(Carved on stone)
(Buried in the soil)
The song suddenly turned low and deep, then became passionate and fervent, as if sounding the horn of counterattack.
The enormous steel giant rose into the air and wrestled with the Father.
"Hey honey, are you craving a 36D... oh wait, I mean, are you craving a new skin??"
A colorless, transparent crystal floated in front of Bronya, and Xing's voice rang out from within it.
"Long submerged beneath waterfalls"
"Triggering a thunderstorm"
Lyrics (approximate meaning):
(Submerged underwater)
(This triggered a thunderstorm)
"Oh, you're still not dead? Looks like I haven't been disciplining you enough. Come on, let's combine our powers, good luck!"
Wendy shuddered, transforming into Gale Caller the style of Wendy from Honkai Impact 2, and then, as if injected with adrenaline, began to brutally beat up the IF Wendy who was filled with envy and jealousy.
"Summoning gusts of wind"
"Seething waves of sea, slapping on the reefs to make a Voice"
(Summoning gusts of wind)
(The waves crash against the rocks, carrying words)
'Entry!'
"Ninja!" Hit Fever Ninja!"
The Fox Ear Ninja appeared from the void, put on the Desire Driver, inserted the Fever Buckle and the Ninja Buckle, and transformed into the Extreme Fox Fever Ninja form. He silently teleported to Mei's side and fought alongside her.
Tell us what to believe, without any doubt
Tell us what we should believe
Without any doubt never let us down
A belief that will never crumble
(The Silly Loli who stayed up all night is tired...)
As for Kiana...
A gentle breeze lifted her body from below, and Kiana caught the wind Wendy was blowing, stopping her fall.
"Get ready, one life for a quick victory!"
Bronya puts on the Player Driver, activates the Game Field, and a large number of blocks appear. Kiana steps on them and ascends, embarking on the challenge once again.
Tell us when to depart for a promise true
Tell us when to depart for the appointment.
For a promise true despite the day of doom
Undeterred by the coming of misfortune.
"Ha, a death throes!"
The IF Goose on the high platform snorted disdainfully, re-condensed its Destruction Lance and hurled it down, unstoppable, destroying all the blocks in its path.
"Don't even think about stopping her!"
Mei, who had finally managed to break free from Mei's grasp, rushed over, emanating a Yae Xing powerful aura.
Lightning Dual Sword Style Secret Technique -
Atomic separation cutter!
With a full-force strike, the giant lance was split in two. Qiya and the other exchanged a glance across the distance, needing no further words.
A bloodline stretches out one more inch with every heartbeat
A bloodline extends with each heartbeat
reaches a fingertip that has been staying at the Words on the Page
Until it reaches the fingertips that linger on those words for a long time.
"Ah!" A block beneath her feet suddenly shattered, and Kiana, having lost her footing, plummeted downwards again. Just then, a claw with chains hooked her up, and Black Seele, separated from Sylph, casually swept her away and forcefully tossed her upwards.
"Ready, takeoff!"
When she reached the limit of her strength, White Seele appeared out of nowhere and took over for her a second time, throwing Kiana even higher, allowing her to rise into the air once again and face another version of herself.
The Knight's Judgment's twin lances transformed into two streaks of light, flying down from below and landing on her back, replacing her broken wings, and the holy wings of light bloomed anew.
We have grown up before taking heart of grace
We have grown before we even mustered the courage.
Taking heart of grace is how we blaze a way
Heading forward, overcoming all obstacles
Kiana, swimming against the current, seized the opportunity and drew her Flame Sword Liehuo. As if in response to her fervent fighting spirit, the blade of the Flame Holy Sword glowed with a blinding light—
"Heavenly Fire Unleashed!!!"
The Guardian Blade reformed and, together with the Holy Sword of Flame, launched an unprecedentedly powerful attack on the enemy. The IF Bug, wielding the Dark Moon Dark Sword, met the attack head-on but was suppressed by the awakened Holy Sword of Flame.
The clash between the two finally resulted in a victory for Kiana. The IF Bug was sent flying backward by the blow, rolled several times on the ground, and then deactivated its transformation, revealing a fierce look in its eyes.
We still struggle against the fear of being unarmed
We overcame the fear of being unarmed.
The fear of being unarmed keeps our frailty apart
And will eventually become a stronger version of yourself.
"Why, why do you still have such great power?"
The IF Bug, horrified, questioned her. Kiana summoned the Sacred Sword Driver, inserted the Flame Sword Liehuo, took out the Dragon of Courage Driver Book, and, without flinching from the IF Bug's gaze, answered:
"This isn't my power alone, haven't you noticed? From the very beginning, you weren't facing Kiana Kaslana, but rather—"
"[Fire Moth]!"
No one would be able to look down upon this world
No one can look down on the world.
So one is allowed to be born
Therefore, they were allowed to be born here.
"It is the strength that everyone has given me that has allowed me to get to where I am today. I have never been alone. Even if everyone leaves me one day, that feeling will forever burn in my heart!"
The phantoms of everyone appeared one by one behind the girl. The Flame Sword Liehuo and the Dragon of Courage Drive Book in their sheaths simultaneously emitted a blinding red light. Three clear dragon roars rang out, and to Kiana's astonishment, the phantoms transformed into two long dragons, one black and one white, while the red Dragon of Courage also flew out. The three dragons circled in the air, and Kiana, Mei, and Sachi's voices rang out—
No one would be able to look down upon this world
No one can look down on the world.
So one is allowed to be born
Therefore, they were allowed to be born here.
Love! It is a power that helps everyone!
Courage! This is the power to create hope!
"Honor! This is the power of carrying out one's own will!"
The miraculous power born in response to the girl's expectations condensed into a fantasy drive book twice the size of a normal fantasy drive book and fell into Kiana's hands. It looked similar to the Jaou Dragon, but the power contained in the two was far different in nature.
Courage! Love! Glory! The divine beast, imbued with these three emotions, remembers this moment in the mortal world!
The IF Goose, who was being restrained by the suddenly appearing Emperor Warrior, exclaimed in disbelief, "What kind of power is this?!"
"The Holy Sword sensed the will of its wielder and responded..." IF Bug recalled its experience of obtaining the Dragon Knight and looked at Kiana with a complicated expression.
We've known what to believe, without any doubt
We already have something to believe in.
Without any doubt never let us down
A belief that will never crumble
We have taken the road for a promise true
We have set off as promised.
For a promise true despite the day of doom
Undeterred by the coming of misfortune.
The two exchanged a glance, nodding to each other like longtime friends, and inserted their driver books into the drive, beginning what they considered the final step—
"Transform! x2"
Note 1: Since it has been shown before, the sound effects of the Jaou Dragon are omitted here. If you want to hear them, go find them yourself. The Silly Loli is tired.
Note 2: I recommend listening to the original sound effects. Just reading the subtitles will feel awkward, but the sound effects are really cool.
"Rekka Draw Sword!"
Dragon of Love~
'Dragon of Courage'
'Dragon of Honor'
"A dragon brimming with emotion!"
The red Dragon of Courage resides on the right shoulder, giving the knight the fiery power to fight against evil; the white dragon of love resides in the middle of the body, giving the knight a pure white cloak; the black dragon of honor resides on the left shoulder, giving the knight a shield to resist enemy attacks.
Kamerider Saber·Emotional Dragon Form, Complete!
The real battle has only just begun!
—Is it exciting? Is it dangerous? Hold on, this is just the beginning—
Boom!!!
After a deafening roar, IF Xiao Shi, who came from the same world as IF Bug, coughed a few times to disperse the surrounding dust and looked up at the immortal standing majestically high in the sky.
Who exactly are you?
"I?"
The immortal nodded, pondered for a moment, then stood with his sword in hand and slowly replied, "There is an immortal in the Shenzhou who can split the heavens with a mere inch of force. I am none other than that— the Crimson Kite Immortal."
Author's Note—
Ahem, and finally, it's Xing's true form that makes its appearance.
That's right. While everyone was fighting themselves, General Xing left behind his puppet clone to control the situation, and then went to help Fu Hua's Father fight Xiao Shi.
Oops, I accidentally spoiled something. Oh well, I was going to write about it anyway.
Ahem, I wonder how many points you readers would give this chapter out of ten? Please leave your evaluation in the comments.
The transition between the two theme songs at the end of this chapter was learned from watching Dark Cat's videos. Hope you all enjoy it!
It's getting late, the Silly Loli stayed up all night needs to go to sleep...
Ah, here's a bonus:
In the Kitsune Crossover Arc, Niu Niu gets brutally beaten by the black Extreme Fox. Ah, the Musou version of Niu Niu.
What, you're asking me how to play?
It's very simple. First, just punch it to blast it apart. The Musou Bull only reduces damage. If we consider the combat power of the basic form of the Extreme Fox as 100, then the combat power after the transformation is infinitely +100 (exceeding the upper limit of the Extreme Fox system's understanding).
Second, summon Gundam to stomp on the Niu Niu.
Third, even simpler: take off the belt and try your best to control your own energy blasts to prevent them from killing Niu Niu.
Fourth, ignore Niu Niu's attacks, since he can't break through your defense anyway, and break Niu Niu's belt.
Fifth... there are just too many ways to solve this, right?
Ah, let me explain. The Kitsune Crossover Arc is expected to be in the next big volume. At that time, Xing... will not be in a normal mental state.
Well, you'll probably see a preview in the chapter after next.
Prepare to welcome a demon king and a hero who no longer suppress their nature and unleash their desires, a suffocating and irresistible force, a collection of desires, a contradictory existence where chaos and order coexist—
[Black Xing]
Finally, a warm welcome to this chapter as another 10,000-word long chapter in this book! So, can it be counted as two chapters? (laughs)
