Hidden Danger of Losing Control (2)
Read point: Chapter 41.
"Final Kill Confirmed—Lucky Fire Moth!!!"
In its initial four-in-one form, the Fire Rider transforms its sword into wings, Heavy Cannon Rabbit opens its cannon muzzle, propelling it forward with overwhelming force. It then strikes a flying kick with immense power, joining forces with the Bird-type combo form OOO to unleash a devastating attack on the fake Ankh.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation enveloped the area, a golden portal opened, passed directly through the initial Fire Moth, and then disappeared. The four of them did not notice anything amiss, and the Double Knight Kick defeated the enemy without any suspense, sparks blooming on the land.
—The current Sachi is able to access the timeline that was passively erased by herself, namely the records from the crossover episode—
You can't see, you can't hear, and you can't even feel the touch of your skin.
In the void, Li Sushang was all alone, with only the sword she held tightly in her hand.
But am I really holding it right now?
Li Sushang was unaware that she could not trust her senses at this moment.
Although she is a dreamy and naive person, Little Li Zi Kiana.
Hmm, is this a compliment or an insult?
During her previous match against Kane, she noticed that the young master deliberately targeted his opponents' sore spots, dancing wildly to provoke them. She had seen similar scenes in picture books when she was a child.
Human emotions can trigger incredible miracles, Raikou once said.
But... Young Master, you've gone a bit too far.
Could it be that you intend to teach me that if I want to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, I must sever all emotions and desires and completely bid farewell to the mortal world?
Fortunate:...
"Kid, you're overthinking it." Xing thought to herself, trying to read her mind. He was just upset that he bought a fake, which is why he destroyed the painting.
Damn it, when I was discharged from the hospital after fighting Chiyou last time, I wanted to hang up the painting as a decoration, but Fu Hua's Father took it to be appraised, it turned out to be a high-quality fake?!
However, strictly speaking, it cannot be considered a fake, because according to Fu Hua, it is indeed an antique, but it seems to have been copied by other artists within a hundred years after the original painting was completed.
Furthermore, as the son of an immortal, he felt resentful towards the Taixu Seven Swords, regardless of the reason. He was just angry and felt sorry for his Fu Hua's Father.
However, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Li Sushang has no grudge against me. If I vent my anger on her, how am I any different from those scumbags?
By the way, has my hair turned black again?
Black Xing pulled a mirror out from behind her back and fell into deep thought as she looked at her reflection of black hair and red eyes.
Damn, how did it turn out like this again? No, no, I need to calm down, or I'll probably kill everyone here. Deep breath, think about the Herrscher of Consciousness gave me PTSD last time... Damn, I'm even angrier! Why would I want to think about that idiot?!
By the way, Fu Hua's Father, think back to the sweet moments I shared with my tablet...
Should I beat her up first? I'm suddenly so angry.
Sigh, thinking back to the happy times with Kiana and the others, even though when we first met she was always messing with my device, exploiting my labor, subjecting me to physical training at the drop of a hat, and even forcing me to cross-dress...
Why are all these unpleasant memories the first thing that come to mind? After all this time I've been in this world, is there nothing worth remembering besides leveling up, running dungeons, healing, and then going through another endless cycle of leveling up, running dungeons, and healing?
Luming Lady's eyes suddenly dimmed, like a doll whose wind-up mechanism had run out of power. She slumped against Otto. Otto glanced at the beauty in his arms, then turned to look at Welt, who was standing by, ready for battle, before looking back at the battle arena.
Six sharp swords were pressed against Li Sushang's vital points from different angles. If they were just a little closer, they would be enough to kill her. Xing, whose hair had turned almost entirely black, raised one hand, lowered her head, and remained silent, as if she were enduring something.
"Enough! The Xing Kaslana I remember isn't the kind of person who bullies the weak!"
Durandal, who had been hesitant due to the dangerous aura emanating from Yu Xing, finally could no longer bear it. Overcoming her fear, she donned the Bright Knight: Excelsis attire, with two Phantom Spirit guarding her side. The power of the Holy Sword Durandal transformed into the Star Anchor Spear, which she held in her hand. She transformed into a golden meteor and sped towards the two of them.
In that brief interval, Happiness—no, [Black Xing]—moved.
In that brief interval of less than 0.00000001 seconds, the boy raised his head, and the Knight Princess holding the holy lance came into view in his crimson eyes.
He remembered that he had fought her before. That time, in order to replace Theresa who was temporarily away on a business trip, he, who was still weak at the time, did not hesitate to burn his life to gain power that could temporarily match her. As a result, he was severely injured again in the battle where Otto manipulated things behind the scenes and forced him to fight for the Fire-Chasing Squad to save the day.
If this guy hadn't wanted to challenge stronger opponents to hone his skills, he wouldn't have ended up like that in the simulated battle, right?
Want to fight an opponent of your own level or even stronger? Fine, I'm always merciful, so I'll grant your wish.
The last remaining white hair was also dyed pure black. In that brief moment, the black-haired boy's lips curled into a smile, like children who had agreed to play hide-and-seek, before the Yugi started, the one who was "it" loudly asking the others if they were all hidden.
"Come on, let me increase the intensity for you."
Seeing Fu Hua forced to retreat, Durandal took the stage. Kiana and the others, who also sensed something was wrong, were also about to intervene. This was different from what Xing had told them beforehand. Wasn't this just a simple investiture ceremony?
However, before they could even stand up from their seats, a golden door appeared without warning in front of Durandal, followed by a sound effect that they all knew all too well:
"Final Kill Confirmed—Lucky Fire Moth!!!"
The warrior, symbolizing the initial crystallization of the Fire-Chasing Squad's bond, appeared out of thin air. The powerful attack driven by the three cores slightly slowed Durandal's pace, but the Fire Chaser Knight, being only in the early stages, could not have any effect on her. The moment the Holy Lance touched the Knight's kick, the latter's body disintegrated into countless particles of light.
But before Durandal could even think, another door appeared. Before the enemy could even show themselves, she threw the Holy Lance without hesitation—a fear emanating from the depths of her soul, etched into her memory palace.
However, a purple Tyrannosaurus Rex axe blade emerged from the doorway first, and the moment its berserk power, capable of reducing everything to nothingness, met the holy lance constructed from the power of the Holy Sword Durandal—
No sound came out.
The Dinosaur Axe cleaved a dark rift in space, tearing the Holy Lance apart and causing it to vanish into nothingness.
The power of the World Bubble? You think Golden Holy Fighting Goose 're so tough, huh? Come on, let's play a high-level match, but don't die!
"OOO·PuToTyra!"
As the sound effects, personally voiced by Yuki, rang out, the purple-eyed dinosaur OOO, half-bent over, charged out of the door with wild steps like a beast. Its sharp pterosaur, prominent triceratops shoulder armor, and powerful tyrannosaurus legs all exuded a terrifying aura.
"What... this is?!"
Durandal's voice trembled slightly, and she herself did not notice that she felt a deep-seated fear of this monster she was meeting for the first time, or rather, a fear of the power itself.
Standing to the side with his arms crossed, ready to watch the show, Black Xing glanced at Kiana and the others who had suddenly stopped and were frantically giving him meaningful glances. He snorted and turned back to Li Sushang, who was still under control. "Don't worry, it'll be your turn soon. I'll condescend to play with you myself."
After saying that, he turned to look at the dinosaur OOO that he had summoned from that encounter through his bond with Eiji, and said in a barely audible voice, "I only made them lower themselves to fight for you because I think highly of you. Don't die, Clumsy Goose OOO. Reversing time is still a bit tiring for me."
After saying that, he snapped his fingers lightly.
A massive, immeasurable number of gray coins rained down from the sky. Dinosaur OOO raised its purple eyes, held its axe blade high, and the purple crystal blade embedded in the Tyrannosaurus Rex's giant mouth unleashed an irresistible suction force. The coins in the sky turned into streams and disappeared into the bottomless stomach of the greedy beast.
Durandal tried to stop them, but the Dinosaur Combo spread their pterosaur wings, and the absolute zero freezing air swept through the entire space, slowing down her movements.
And this moment is enough.
P. S.: I'm giving Clumsy Goose a lot of face here, so please don't complain about the power level Honkai.
An unparalleled blow descended from the sky, like a divine punishment.
No, beneath the dinosaurs, all beings are equal. This is a forbidden power born from fantasy, reducing everything to nothingness.
However, as he swung the axe, the Dinosaur Combo's body became ethereal. As the weapon fell, he disintegrated into purple light particles and disappeared, returning to the world's records to await the next reading.
The axe struck Durandal squarely, carrying a force powerful enough to reduce half a planet to dust. It slashed from her left shoulder to her right side. She wasn't knocked away, but was forced to remain in place to endure the damage. The explosive wind pressure from the attack blew away the ice along with her, and the intense pain caused the Knight Princess to let out an unprecedented wail.
The first thing to shatter was the God-Slaying Armor, Bright Knight: Excelsis: Bright Knight: Excelsis, followed by the Holy Sword Power that protected her body from destruction.
However, Durandal clearly felt that she could no longer sense it.
Don't mess with me, or I'll smash you and the World Bubble inside your body together.
Fortunately, the warning she had received earlier surfaced in her mind.
He was serious.
"Ughhhh!!!"
"Durandal!"
Before the adjutant, who was concerned about the girl, could react, the Knight Princess was almost instantly killed, drew a graceful arc in the air. At this moment, nothing else mattered. Rita could not care about anything else. She summoned the Silver Moon and was about to step forward to offer her head when she felt a numbness in the back of her neck. She then lost control of her body and fell into a somewhat cold yet warm embrace.
"Good girl, a maid should just do her job. Why are you playing high-level games? Do you think you can handle this?" Black Xing teleported behind Rita and gently chopped Rita unconscious with a chop. Then, he snapped his fingers, summoned a portal to her room, and carefully placed the maid on her bed, also grabbing a life-size Theresa body pillow.
"Well, next up is—" Black Xing glanced at the Fire-Chasing Squad over there, stretched lazily, then looked in the mirror to tidy up his appearance, confirmed that Li Sushang's clone was still there, then took a deep breath, maintained his super-accelerated state, and quickly rushed towards Kiana and the others.
After a few quick movements, Bronya and Wendy were gently lifted to the ground by two steady palm strikes, feeling no discomfort whatsoever. My dear wife, you must handle them with care.
White Seele landed steadily on both feet, while Black Seele, who landed headfirst and received a slap on the buttocks, felt as if a hundred thousand Jackal were raging inside her.
Of Seele, we should handle Seele with care too~
Poor Arin Sisters were swayed in the air for several rounds, almost getting dizzy, before they were finally put down. Of course, mischievous kids need to be treated differently.
Mei, disarmed, clutched her wrist and was forcibly placed on the ground. Rice Cooker, who also served as a caring older sister, had to handle her with care.
She had barely taken a few steps when Judah descended from the heavens and delivered a standard blow. Losing her balance, Silly Mom landed squarely on the bed in the portal that Black Xing had prepared beforehand. At the same time, the sleeping traps that had just been set up around them were activated, instantly taking Theresa offline.
This is her own mother, so of course she needs to be handled with care.
"Damn it, has Little Xing been stimulated by something?" The immortal, who was forcibly suppressing the heat in her body and maintaining Yun Mo's posture, was about to stop the child from losing control when a hand poked her from behind.
Fu Hua's Father turned his head and saw a chubby Xiao Shi staring at her with innocent and childlike eyes, his red eyes full of purity, before slapping her.
Smack!
The palm strike swept across thousands of miles, and the unsuspecting immortal was sent flying halfway around the world.
The father is about to strike hard! Damn it!!!
PS: Although they reconciled in the Movie Version, Sachi's resentment towards the blockhead is still MAX+. Ah, this time it's because Mom Hua said what she should have said to him to the Herrscher of Consciousness in the Movie Version, and her resentment has been lingering until now.
"Izayoi Platinum Ludo! Ora Ora Ora!" In accelerated mode, Black Xing transformed into a child, grabbing Kiana's two braids and unleashing an Ora execution. "Serves you right for exploiting me all this time! Serves you right for dragging me into a 10,000-meter run at the drop of a hat! Serves you right for swiping my card! Serves you right..."
After finishing a set of wild punches, a refreshed Black Xing turned around, hands on his hips, and said, "Time has resumed its flow."
Please imagine Talking Tom's screams here, thank you.
After a series of appalling cries, the black-and-white depiction of the Kiana ORZ lay on the ground. Before Mei could urge her, White Seele rushed forward to heal her. Healing Abyss Flower bloomed at the girl's feet, and Kiana soon regained her vitality.
PS1: Fortunately, he gave the Gem of Stillness to Seele, but he can retrieve it whenever he needs it, since the three of them are overlapped at the quantum level.
PS2: After that, Sachi used the Plague Gem to repair Vermilion Knight: Eclipse and asked Himeko if she wanted power.
PS3: After that, Hiyokomaru gave the Simulated Core she had almost fully nurtured to Himeko to ask her if she wanted to become the Herrscher of Erosion in this era.
PS4: According to my original plan, the Herrscher of Scorching Flame was simply a combination of erosion and fire, similar to the dual-power Herrscher of Fire. However, considering the future development and the final form after ascension, I slightly enhanced Corruption.
"Brother Xing, why..." Looking at the black-clad boy, the frail White Seele felt immense pressure, but she still pulled Black Seele, who was protecting her behind her, and faced Black Xing together with the others.
"Oh, about this—" Black Xing's face showed a thoughtful expression. The next second, his figure turned into a butterfly and disappeared, reappearing in front of Kiana was rubbing her butt. He pinched her cheeks and squeezed them hard. "I suddenly realized that I've been too gentle with you guys. Let's increase the intensity. What, do you have a problem with that?"
"Yes..." Black Seele was about to say yes, but when she saw Black Xing's kind eyes, she was so frightened that she immediately changed her words, and her voice lost its electronic tone, "That makes sense!"
"Hmm, very good, but even if you have objections, it's useless." Black Xing swept his gaze over the girls who dared not speak out, and a wild, unrestrained laugh appeared on his face. "Because—there is no one on this planet who can rival me."
"Strength is everything."
"No way!" Kiana retorted, but Black Xing pinched her mouth even tighter.
The boy and girl's noses almost touched, their scarlet pupils pressing down on her pure blue eyes. "Then, put down the sword in your hand. Do you dare?"
I dare not.
"That's right." Black Xing pushed Kiana away, wiped his hands in disgust, snapped his fingers, and transformed back into his original white-haired, red-eyed form.
"Well, I'll give you a little treat. I'll set up a Ginga and play with you using only the basic form and its derivatives. Under that premise, just do your best to defeat me. Oh, use of additional equipment is approved."
The boy pulled out a fully-leveled Prototype Pulse Greatsword from behind his back, beckoned to the three starter characters who had also switched back to their initial equipment and told the others not to participate in the battle for the time being, and said, "Come on, baby~"
Lightning flashed as the blades of the Prototype Pulse Katana grazed the Prototype Pulse Greatsword. Just before Mei launched her surprise attack, the boy in his basic form had already switched to his pink-haired, purple-eyed child speed form. Long fox ears sprouted from his head, and with enhanced agility and nerve reaction speed, he raised the greatsword to block the slash in time.
Sparks flew as the weapons clashed and the lightning-infused blades exploded in the arena, creating a thunderous roar. The dazzling lightning reflected the figures of the two figures onto the smooth, mirror-like blades.
In the reflection, the pure black-clad boy grinned, as if anticipating more joy.
—Due to time constraints, this chapter is a bit short. Please forgive me.—
As the chaos dissipated, Li Sushang's eyes brightened, and her vision gradually became clearer, but her eyes did not experience any discomfort from suddenly being exposed to strong light from the darkness.
The water beneath your feet is still as a mirror. Every step you take creates a ripple, but you neither get your feet wet nor sink.
A young general with white hair and red eyes stood in front of her and tossed her a Xuanyuan Sword in its original form. Li Sushang caught it steadily, and the weight and feel in her hand did not seem fake at all.
The chillingly powerful Dragon Sparrow, Wei Yang, pointed directly at his face, uttering words devoid of any emotion:
"Young Master, I am kind by nature and will not bully you. Don't you like testing swords? Fine, today Young Master will test swords with you to your heart's content."
"This is a special space I created using my immortal magic. You cannot leave here until I deem you qualified, not even by death."
Author's Note—
The next chapter will feature Sushang Wuzan! Clumsy Goose Wuzan! And a battle of recollection with the Fire-Chasing Squad!
