But while Bronya was charging her cannon, Yu Luo had already used [Dragon Vein]. A considerable amount of transformation energy surged within him. He gripped Raikiri with both hands, thrusting it forcefully into the ground, activating the black technology mounted on it.

"Dad always said, use black technology to defeat black technology! Spirit Blade Guard!"

Raikiri's characteristic was its ability to generate a strong electromagnetic field to protect the user. If its energy were fully released, it could protect everyone nearby. Of course, facing a Yamato Cannon with a caliber of 460, Raikiri's strong electromagnetic field would be useless. That's why Yu Luo used [Dragon Vein] to increase Raikiri's energy and strengthen the electromagnetic field.

"Zzzz..." Replenished with transformation energy, Raikiri's faint blue light blade suddenly brightened, its color shifting to blue-white. Small blue sparks erupted around the space where Yu Luo and the other two were, the air visibly distorting. The exposed skin of the three felt a tingling sensation.

"Damn it!" Kiana was dissatisfied with her position behind Yu Luo, receiving protection. She looked at Bronya ahead and shouted, "Bronya, are you really going to be controlled by this damn System forever!"

"Don't you have anything you want to do yourself!!"

"You're human, don't be like those cold machines!!!"

"Boom!"

"Crackling..."

Orange-yellow flames exploded in mid-air. The super electromagnetic field in front of Yu Luo also flashed with a large area of bright blue electrical netting. The Raikiri in his hands flickered, and the transformation energy within him was instantly drained. However, the result was as the System had stated: the terrifying bombardment was indeed blocked.

It was just that the super electromagnetic field couldn't block the terrifying shockwave generated by the explosion. Yu Luo gripped the Raikiri, which was stuck in the ground, with all his might to ensure he wouldn't be blown off the rooftop by the wind.

Kiana and Mei Raiden each grabbed one of his shoulders. The three were blown back by the shockwave, crashing heavily into the door behind them.

Unexpectedly, Yu Luo didn't feel the severe pain he imagined. Instead, he felt two soft sensations from behind, accompanied by two muffled groans. As a Level 20 Archmage, the theoretical God of Akina Mountain, how could Yu Luo not realize he had used Kiana and Mei Raiden as cushions, possibly even squeezing into some sensitive areas?

Before the three could recover from the shockwave, the Heavy-Oni Rabbit 19C behind Bronya raised its left mechanical arm, holding a shield taller than a person, firmly blocking the shockwave. Bronya was completely unaffected. Her right mechanical arm raised its cannon, which began to gather flames again, preparing to fire a second shot at the three.

"Henshin!" Yu Luo quickly took out Sasaki Kojiro's transformation card. With a flash of silver light, Yu Luo transformed into a figure with a long blue ponytail, his light purple kimono fluttering wildly in the wind. With A+ Agility, Yu Luo turned into a light purple afterimage and appeared directly in front of Bronya.

"Quick, stop her!" Yu Luo only had time to say this before the Heavy-Oni Rabbit 19C's mechanical arm smashed down fiercely at him. Yu Luo compared his own body to the thick mechanical arm and decisively dodged it with his A+ Agility.

"Thump!" Yu Luo felt a tremor under his feet; the entire rooftop seemed to shake from the heavy impact. He turned to look at Kiana and Mei Raiden, only to see them slumped on the ground in pain, clutching their chests, able to only watch helplessly. It seemed Yu Luo had hit them hard earlier, rendering them temporarily combat-incapable.

The dark cannon barrel was already aimed at Yu Luo, who was standing close by. The other mechanical arm also swung down towards where Yu Luo was standing. Yu Luo narrowly dodged again. Looking at Bronya, who was watching him with a detached expression not far away, a bold idea surged in Yu Luo's mind.

"Let's see if this System will attack itself too!"

"False Clairvoyance activated! Translucence activated! Sohma's Insights activated!"

Yu Luo dodged the mechanical arm's attack again, activating all his skills without regard for the consumption of transformation energy. The transformation energy plummeted like a water pump, dropping by 30% in a short time.

Yu Luo's body twisted in the air, leaving a light purple afterimage as he charged towards Bronya. The katana in his hand whistled through the air, drawing a silver crescent, and slashed at Bronya.

The transformation energy continued to drop, "30%! 20%! 10%!" Finally, just as it was about to reach zero, Yu Luo unleashed his full strength in a sword strike that landed on Bronya.

"Clang!" Unfortunately, this final blow was still blocked by a semi-illusory shield, just like the first time he saw it. Despite being only semi-illusory, it sparked brightly. The katana in Yu Luo's hand dissolved into particles, and his light purple kimono and blue ponytail vanished as well.

"As expected!" Yu Luo, no longer in his transformed state, didn't feel disappointed. Instead, he smiled at Bronya. Behind him, the Cannon of Equality was nearing full charge.

"Henshin!" Yu Luo transformed again, this time using Billy the Kid's transformation card. The reason for not using Emiya's card was simple:

"Noble Phantasm, Bad Beat (Thunderer)!"

Yu Luo roared. Billy the Kid's remaining transformation energy was completely consumed. The Servant's high perception was fully activated. Yu Luo once again felt the sensation of the System using a knock-off The World back then. The surrounding environment's speed instantly slowed down. Both the charging Yamato Cannon and the raised mechanical arm appeared incredibly slow in Yu Luo's eyes.

Only Yu Luo knew that these were the effects of fully activating the Servant's perception, not an actual slowing of time. His own movements had also become incredibly slow. In this state, Yu Luo activated Billy the Kid's C-rank False Clairvoyance, observing the shield between him and Bronya, searching for its weakness.

"Found it!" Yu Luo's eyes lit up, a flash of inspiration striking him. Simultaneously activating Quick Draw A+ and Marksmanship A++, he fired three shots from various directions at speeds that seemed to transcend the timeline, almost simultaneously. This was Billy the Kid's strongest attack, fired with precise timing at the fatal points, three unavoidable shots.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three energy bullets, formed from bullets, shot towards the semi-illusory shield from three completely different directions almost at the same time. Unstoppable, and with no time to block, only a dull "thump!" was heard. Fissures appeared on the surface of the semi-illusory shield.

Yu Luo retreated from that miraculous state, and Billy the Kid's transformation state began to dissipate. Along with the particles emanating from Yu Luo, the cracked semi-illusory shield also shattered into fragments. Bronya's emotionless, exquisite face appeared before Yu Luo.

"Checkmate!" Yu Luo smiled at Bronya, thinking he looked cool, and made a move that surprised her. Yu Luo spread his arms, lunged forward, and hugged Bronya tightly in his arms, completely ignoring the nearly fully charged Cannon of Equality behind him.

"I don't believe you'll die with me!" Yu Luo thought fiercely.

"What if this System is a Scarlet Queen series?" the System once again displayed its argumentative nature.

"Dying while hugging a loli, I'm not at a loss. How many people dream of this!" Yu Luo's body stiffened. However, while he might be timid in front of outsiders, he had to strike hard against the System, refuting it forcefully.

"I almost forgot you're a loli-lover," the System sneered. "How does it feel to hug such a cute loli for the first time? Aren't you having a blast?"

"I'll blast you, you old geezer!" Yu Luo retorted impatiently. "Who designed this armor anyway? It's completely different from the game. It feels like a lump of iron when I hug it, it's killing me."
