Chlorine Sodium's Arknights

Even though this was the bottom of society, for him, this was paradise on Earth!!!

The man was reveling in the joy of victory, anticipating how he would torment the beautiful woman before him.

Then, a discordant sound reached his ears.

It was.

An explosion!!!

Meanwhile, downstairs.

The thugs downstairs were covering their eyes, as the Landship, enveloped in raging flames, had inexplicably exploded!

These street punks, who had never experienced war and only knew how to brawl, wouldn't realize this was an attack. They'd just assume the repair shop had taken their money and done a shoddy job.

However, no one expected a pair of golden eyes to appear within the flames, suddenly igniting!!!

ps: I'm exhausted, I don't even want to complain anymore. The servers of Ciwen Mao can truly be called tormentors.

Undeniably!!!

Section 47: Chapter 47 [Death, Summoned at Will]

Several minutes earlier, above the clouds of Lungmen.

A purple "meteor" streaked across the sky. The supersonic speed generated such high velocity that the descending streak only left a purple contrail in its wake.

This was the trace left by forcefully using Honkai Energy as propellant, with the remaining residue, after being consumed, not yet turned to ash in mid-air.

If typical Herrschers would consider using their authority to fly, then Chlorine Sodium's method was simple and crude: spewing Honkai Energy backward as a propellant to propel herself forward.

Although the consumption wasn't small, it resulted in astonishing speed.

At this moment, she had already surpassed the speed of sound, with the sound itself left far behind.

Fortunately, it was cloudy and nighttime today, so no eyewitness reports surfaced.

Her destination was a civilian house several kilometers below.

Truly annoying!

Although for some reason, Chlorine Sodium didn't want to delve into the cause, this annoyance required someone to pay the price.

She had arrived.

Coincidentally, there were no clouds obstructing the view.

Her eyesight, far surpassing that of humans, had already spotted the target building below.

The overflowing Honkai Energy began to gather, and a structure with a predominantly black and white color scheme started to disintegrate. Even the four skirt-like appendages belonging to the Herrscher dissipated into the air.

Deprived of its powerful thrust, under the effect of gravity, Chlorine Sodium began to descend.

The outer clothing she wore inside gradually became visible. To conceal her identity, this was the fastest way to arrive.

And the return of sound allowed the howling wind to reach the girl's ears once more!

The figure was descending at an extremely high speed, without any protective measures or parachute, just being swept along by gravity, as if embracing a raging storm.

The G-force was far beyond what a biological being could withstand. Without any protection, a normal person would undoubtedly die.

But Chlorine Sodium's structural strength, which surpassed that of ordinary beings, had no problem with this.

Her crimson-gold eyes continuously focused, adjusting her trajectory in the final moments.

Her eyes had already locked onto her landing spot.

At extreme speed, to save time, she made no attempt to decelerate, intending to crash directly onto the ground!

The ground grew closer, and the Honkai Energy surged through the girl's veins, flowing to every part of her body. Along with it came an even clearer vision. Her consciousness, traversing time, slowed down everything in the world, and her body's strength improved by a hundred percent compared to its normal state!

A moment's breath, a critical point of ten seconds.

The next instant, her legs slammed onto the ground!!

"THUMP!!!"

To outsiders, the whistling wind in mid-air had just stopped when something directly smashed onto the Landship in the courtyard!

And in the girl's slowed-down vision, she could see the roof of the entire van collapsing due to the impact of the rapid descent, metal twisting and breaking with a grating sound.

However, this was just the beginning. The entire vehicle was bent into a V-shape, like a wire being bent by two hands.

And the explosion was imminent.

But this instantaneous process felt like a slow-motion movie to the girl, lasting only three to four seconds.

And the next moment.

Purple patterns on her legs suddenly lit up. Empowered by Honkai Energy, the girl shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow, leaving a purple afterimage in the air.

As the explosion's flames, surpassing the speed of sound, first erupted with dazzling light, a fist carrying the force of a mountain's roar smashed the metal gate into the factory!

"What the····!!!"

Before the thug at the entrance could even finish the word "hell," the sound of the car explosion and the metal gate shattering into pieces, along with the person behind the door being smashed into bits, erupted simultaneously!!!

"What happened?"

The thug guarding the second-floor staircase hadn't even turned around to check the situation before an iron fist smashed into his lower back!

"Ahhhhhh!!"

Pain, the sound of grinding teeth, and spurting blood mixed with the splintering of muscle and bone fragments from his fractured spine piercing his flesh, nearly incapacitating the man on the spot.

The one who had been talking to the thug finally realized someone had broken in.

Just as he was about to reveal his club, the girl's palm struck the man's chin from below.

With a sickeningly wet crack, the man was violently propelled into the air by the upward force. The girl beneath him had already taken three steps, launching her attack on the next guard!

It was all too fast! So fast that it barely left a phantom blur in the mortals' retinas!

It was a power gap that completely surpassed human limits, an insurmountable chasm.

To the terrified, shrieking guards, the girl seemed more like a wisp of air. Due to her extreme speed, anyone this "air" touched was sent flying backward, torn to shreds as if hit head-on by a speeding train!

And that wisp of air charged into the crowd. In an instant, flesh and blood flew. Three seconds after this slaughter began, someone in the crowd finally remembered to fight back.

As the hand swinging the iron pipe was lightly grazed by the air, the next moment, the man wielding the pipe was violently shoved backward by something, crashing through the wall behind him with a sound of shattering bones and a pained howl.

However, the agony lasted only a few seconds before a corpse flew in, smashing onto the wailing man, causing the severely injured individual to choke on his last breath.

"Don't get in the way."

The girl growled, shattering the thug who dared to intercept her with a single punch. She then passed directly through the falling, dismembered corpse before it even hit the ground.

The ground was covered in blood and unrecognizable human tissue.

Red and white splattered everywhere, the entire corridor filled with the smell of blood.

Finally, the remaining people broke.

They didn't even know what the attacker truly was.

Fear stems from the unknown.

Three points are all it takes to create a terrifying monster: Incommunicable, incomprehensible, and unbeatable.

Chlorine Sodium fit all three categories.

However, anyone who tried to escape and was in the girl's path was instantly annihilated, reduced to fragments by an invisible force that struck them out of thin air.

"Monster... Monster ahhhhhh!!!"

"Run! Run quickly!!!"

The thugs broke down and scattered, their desperate flight so chaotic that they began trampling and killing each other in the crush.

But none of this was on Chlorine Sodium's mind anymore.

The workshop lights suddenly went out.

"???"

"Huh? What happened?"

The man turned his head and shouted towards the door.

It was dark, but he figured that guy must have been clumsy again and tripped the breaker.

Something had happened outside the door. He figured once it got dark, these guys would start making noise. So unreliable.

However, after a while, there was no answer from outside.

"Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf!!"

Yet, the outside was as silent as death.

What's going on?

Something felt... off.

Suddenly, the sound of the main door opening shattered the silence. However, the dim interior was pitch black, making it impossible to see who had entered.

"Hey! Turn on the lights! Are you stupid?"

What was that?

The man suddenly felt his foot kick something.

Ignoring the girl tied to the operating table, he fumbled and picked up the object on the floor.

What is this?

However, as he brought it closer, his eyes, gradually adjusting to the darkness, finally saw what he was holding.

It was... the head of that Sarkaz.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

But before he could even scream, he felt his perspective fly into the air.

What the...

The viewpoint spun around and finally focused.

Her own body... why was it still standing there?

ps: Writing this late at night, I'm dying, whimper whimper

Section 48: Chapter Forty-Eight [Emotional Portrait]

This is really troublesome.

Methodology is just methodology.

It was like a fully armed new recruit on their first battlefield; even though they were covered head to toe in armor, they'd still be a little worried.

And the inexperience leading to fumbling.

The current situation, even if it's a bit...

Inexperienced?

If she had to choose between fighting the Himeko from the last world again or facing Yelena right now, she'd rather fight Himeko again right now.

"Sister... sob... Waaaaaaaah!!!"

Looking at Yelena, whose eyes had turned into fried eggs the moment her restraints were removed and who immediately burst into tears, Chlorine Sodium felt a slight... headache?
