"Trash human???"
The moment Cocolia heard Gu Yu's name for her, a flash of killing intent flickered through her eyes.
"Brat, don't spout nonsense when you know nothing! I'm acting to save the world. Do you know what Raiden Mei's true identity is—the girl you're protecting?"
Although Cocolia dearly wanted to kill this irritating little brat on the spot, she held back for the time being, considering Gu Yu's formidable combat ability.
Cocolia knew very well just how outstanding her adopted daughter Bronya was in terms of individual strength.
With the Anti-Entropy-enhanced mech, Project Bunny C19, Bronya might even be able to take down a Titan Mech solo.
Yet such overwhelming individual power had been defeated and knocked unconscious without injury by the young man before her, who wore Schicksal's Valkyrie Armor, in under two minutes?
Cocolia felt that if she treated this brat as someone she could deal with casually, she would surely suffer a major loss.
Moreover, Cocolia had not forgotten the intelligence she had received from her subordinates' report today.
Energy suspected to belong to the Third Herrscher had erupted in Changkong City, triggering the Third Honkai Outbreak.
Then, several minutes later, the Honkai Energy suspected to belong to the Third Herrscher had completely vanished.
As far as Herrschers went, aside from Anti-Entropy's freakish leader, Welt Yang, every last one of them was incomparably hostile toward humanity.
Therefore, Cocolia believed that the chance of the Third Herrscher falling dormant on her own was practically zero.
Coupled with the fact that this young man had been acting alongside Raiden Mei...
Could he have even defeated the Third Herrscher?
No, how could that be possible?
After driving that absurd thought from her mind, Cocolia stared at Gu Yu, preparing to continue and reveal Raiden Mei's true identity.
"Shut up, you old hag!"
Unfortunately, before Cocolia could speak, Gu Yu cut her off first.
Setting aside the fact that Gu Yu had long known what Cocolia wanted to say, there was something else he had on his mind.
Raiden Mei and Kiana were awake. If that somewhat calmer girl learned that she was not human at all, and was even a Herrscher destined to destroy humanity...
Gu Yu could not guarantee that she would not do something unbelievably foolish.
"Does her identity have anything to do with what you're doing now? At the end of the day, you're just scum trying to kidnap an innocent girl, and you even intend to justify your crimes?"
Taking out a card, Gu Yu viciously swiped it through his weapon.
"And it seems you're looking for the Third Herrscher's core, the Conquest Gem, aren't you?"
[Attack Ride Metal]
"Then let me give you a little taste... of the Third Herrscher's power!"
After he used the card, the silver light armor on Gu Yu's body was immediately enhanced by its power, boosting both his offense and defense.
Attack Ride Metal was an Undead ability that Kamen Rider Blade had acquired after sealing the Undead Trilobite.
After using this card, Kamen Rider Blade could manipulate the Power of the Undead to metallize matter, increasing that object's offensive and defensive capabilities.
Generally speaking, cards of this enhancement type were used on the wielder himself.
But upon seeing those Titan Mechs gleaming with metallic luster, Gu Yu suddenly had a bold idea.
"The Third Herrscher's power?!"
Upon hearing Gu Yu's words, Cocolia inexplicably felt a sense of foreboding rise within her.
Why did this brat know about the Third Herrscher?
Could it be... that guess from earlier was true?
If what he said was true... had he really taken the Third Herrscher's core?!
If an ordinary Schicksal officer or Anti-Entropy operative had been here, they definitely would not have entertained the terrifying idea of a human taking a Herrscher Core and wielding the Power of the Herrscher.
Anyone with even a little knowledge of Herrschers knew just how powerless ordinary people were before those humanoid monsters.
But Cocolia was different from the others. She had truly seen someone take a Herrscher Core and directly inherit a Herrscher's power.
No one could guarantee that Welt Yang would be the last person to inherit a Herrscher Core.
If this brat had truly inherited the Third Herrscher's core, then...
Ignoring Cocolia's abruptly changing expression, Gu Yu drove the Blay Rouzer directly into the ground.
Then, under his control, the metallization effect spread across the entire ground.
Both the earth beneath Gu Yu's feet and the ground beneath the Anti-Entropy troops were temporarily transformed into metal by the power of metallization.
"This is bad...!"
Seeing the ground beneath her feet, Cocolia immediately issued an order to her subordinates.
"Kill him! Don't even think about taking him alive! Kill him!"
Seeing their commander display such utter terror for once, the Anti-Entropy members immediately controlled their Titan Mechs and launched an attack on Gu Yu together.
Once all the Titan Mechs received the order, a savage crimson gleam flashed through their eyes.
But as the mechs charged toward Gu Yu...
[Attack Ride Magnet]
Gu Yu, having used the second card, merely raised his right hand slightly.
"You dare act so wildly before a Herrscher?"
"Get down on your knees, all of you!"
After metallizing the ground earlier, Gu Yu had confirmed that the mass-produced Titan Mechs before him were all made of metal.
And Attack Ride Magnet was an Undead Awakening Card that Kamen Rider Blade had acquired after sealing the Undead Buffalo.
Its effects were—magnetic manipulation and metal attraction.
The ground had already been metallized, and the Titans were all metal constructs.
When Gu Yu raised his right hand slightly and unleashed the power of magnetic manipulation, all the Titan Mechs abruptly froze.
The next second, before the utterly stunned eyes of the Anti-Entropy members, those Titan Mechs...
...actually toppled every which way, as though submitting before Gu Yu, and were firmly sucked onto the ground.
