Chapter 2649

At that very moment, the mecha was kicking the body of an insect that was radiating a crimson glow.

"That's Firefly. And her armor, if I'm not mistaken... seems to have been modified into a Sam Mecha, a one-star exclusive Miraculous Item?" Xing squinted and examined it carefully for a moment before speaking.

"But even if the opponent manages to kill one insect, once that insect explodes, it will instantly detonate the other insects, ultimately causing a chain reaction of explosions," Himeko said, frowning.

Propagation Swarms have a very special characteristic: when a swarm dies, it explodes, causing damage to neighboring Swarms.

Under normal circumstances, the damage from this self-destruction is not high; it's just a normal explosion. And because it only damages the Swarm itself, it's actually quite welcome.

But the current situation is different.

The Swarm has now activated its Backup Hidden Energy Source; each insect is a powder keg ready to explode at the slightest touch. Even the smallest spark could trigger a terrifying chain reaction of explosions.

Unless... all the other adjacent Swarm can be killed before the insects explode.

But now all the Swarms are crowded together, so killing one Swarm of worms means killing the Swarms adjacent to that Swarm... and so on and so forth.

In other words, if you want to prevent the Swarm from exploding and kill it in advance so that it only produces normal death explosions that only damage the Swarm itself and do not affect the Duality Paradise, then you must be able to kill all the Swarms in an instant.

But even Aeon would find this situation very troublesome.

It's not that we can't kill the bugs, but that we can't guarantee that the Duality Paradise will remain intact while eliminating all the bugs.

The power of the Aeon was terrifying, but perhaps a little too terrifying.

Unless it's a field directly related to your studies... such as Remembrance or Elation.

Remembrance can be frozen in time, Elation can be infinitely probabilistic... The probability that an insect won't explode after it dies is not high, but it's not zero.

The Harmony Aeon his studies. However, the Aeon of Harmony Aeon has a solution; surely a bunch of bugs can't stump him?

However, New Penacony is definitely going to be blown up. After all, even the Aeon can't break through New Penacony's boundaries and can't throw all these bugs out. With such a large blast radius, New Penacony will definitely suffer.

Before the Harmony Aeon could even make a move, that massive mech had already kicked the Swarm.

Just as everyone instinctively covered their ears, bracing for the impending explosion...

Time seemed to stand still.

The insect that was kicked to pieces did not explode. Or more accurately, its body did explode, but the process was frozen in the second before the explosion.

The cracks in the insect's shell were clearly visible, the flames rising from its internal organs were frozen in the moment of their explosion, and even the splattered fragments of bodily fluids were suspended in mid-air as if a pause button had been pressed.

And it wasn't just this one insect that got kicked and smashed; the entire Swarm surrounding the Duality Paradise also froze in place. Even the Propagation Aeon was frozen in place.

All the insects remained frozen in mid-air, frozen in their final poses, like a giant still life painting composed of billions of insects.

Immediately afterwards, the Sam Mecha controlled by Firefly took off again, transforming into a streak of emerald green shooting star.

This time, the meteor was accompanied by countless companion stars formed from points of light, like a green meteor shower, crashing down on the entire Swarm.

Wherever the flames reached, all the movements of the Swarm ceased abruptly just before the explosion.

Bad news: the Swarm will self-destruct when it dies.

Good news, the Swarm now dies on contact.

Better news: It's Firefly's turn now!

"Oh, I remember now! The effect of Firefly's one-star exclusive Miraculous Item is... as long as it can break the enemy's defense, it can keep attacking." Xing suddenly clapped his hands and said with a sudden realization.

Whether it's a physical or mental defense breach, the user's turn will be refreshed indefinitely.

It can be described as Infinite Re-action.

My turn, my turn, and my turn again!

So the people standing atop the Haiyuan TV Tower stared in disbelief as the pitiful, weak, and helpless student, Firefly, clad in the one-star exclusive Miraculous Item, the Sam Mecha, kicked a Swarm to pieces.

The emerald green flames flickered among the Swarm, like a marble bouncing back and forth on a black chessboard, each bounce taking away a large number of insects.

One kick, two kicks, three kicks, countless kicks.

Within this "accelerated time," the Firefly kicked for a full half hour, leaving afterimages, before finally blasting apart the Swarm gathered around the Duality Paradise.

This is mainly because the Propagation Aeon to gather the insect swarm around them. With the Swarm clustered together, clearing them out is naturally much easier.

After kicking the last Swarm to pieces, Firefly then kicked the Propagation Aeon.

Thump.

The Propagation Aeon remained completely still.

After realizing she couldn't push any further, Firefly didn't linger and piloted the Sam Mecha to land steadily on top of the Haiyuan TV Tower. The moment she landed, the mech's heavy foot left a shallow mark on the ground at the top of the tower.

"Phew..." As Firefly let out a long sigh, the once towering mecha disappeared after the glowing green flames dissipated, revealing the slender girl inside. Firefly moved her slightly sore wrists, and fine beads of sweat still clung to her forehead.

When the Fireflies looked up at the sky, the Swarm that had been frozen in place began to explode.

However, this explosion was completely different from the previous mass detonations.

There was no earth-shattering shockwave, no release of energy powerful enough to tear the earth apart.

Instead, there is a strange, almost gentle shattering.

The insect's body exploded gently in the air like a crushed glass ball, and the fragments instantly transformed into countless specks of light that drifted in all directions.

The trails of falling light traced arcs as they cascaded down from the sky, like a fireworks extravaganza that covered the entire Duality Paradise and even the whole of New Penacony.

However, as these fireworks bloomed, what fell were not fragments of insect shells and severed limbs, but rather thin cards that emitted a faint glow.

Countless cards fell from the sky, enveloping the entire New Penacony in a flurry of cards.

Xing curiously reached out and caught a card that floated past her. Looking down, she saw that it was a card depicting Propagation Swarm. The insect image was sealed within the card, and the art style was quite exquisite.

March 7th also reached out and took one, flipped it over and looked at it; it was another form of the Swarm card.

"Wow, there are different kinds too." March 7th looked at the cards in her hand with some curiosity.

Upon seeing this, Xing remembered.

This One-star Artifact item Sam Mecha, seems to have a "friend and foe" effect. When Swarm is killed, it can drop a Seal Card. Equipping a Seal Card grants the user the characteristics of that Swarm target.

"Knight, transformation, sealing card... I get it, Firefly is Kamen Rider!" Hoshino stroked his chin and concluded seriously.

Hearing Xing's words, Firefly glanced at Xing helplessly.

Chapter 2649

Among the countless cards falling, the figure of Old Audi appeared beside the Propagation Aeon.

"Cheating! This is cheating! How could you use Miraculous Item?!" Old Audi roared hysterically at the Firefly.

It was at this moment that Old Audi gradually came to understand the terror of the Miraculous Item.

It's really... terrifying.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Why don't I understand? I'm just using my prize reasonably." Firefly tilted her head blankly, looking at Old Audi with an innocent expression.

Xing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but give Firefly a thumbs up as she pretended to be clueless.

Well done!

"You, you bastard! The Miraculous Forger! Where is the Miraculous Forger?! I'm reporting you! I'm reporting you!" Old Audi's voice had completely spiraled out of control.

"Wow, you actually have the nerve to report someone? That's really shameless!" Xing looked at Old Audi with some surprise, her tone full of disdain.

"Yes! I am despicable! I am shameless! But I did not use Miraculous Item!" Old Audi roared righteously.

"You want to use Miraculous Items? You need to have Miraculous Items first," Xing muttered under her breath.

"Miraculous Forger! Where is he! Where is he!" Old Audi had completely abandoned all pretense of decorum, his roar echoing through the sky filled with flying cards.

"Has Old Audi gone mad? Who gave him the courage to call out the name of the Miraculous Forger so rudely?" Xing frowned, looking at Old Audi's completely deranged appearance, and said with some confusion.

"Well... that's possible, isn't it? After all, if they can't win this Holy Grail War, their fate will probably be worse than death," the Robin.

The Robin knew that Old Audi would pay the price for directing the Swarm to wreak havoc and destroy buildings throughout New Penacony. And given Old Audi's assets in Penacony, he probably couldn't afford to pay it.

That's why Old Audi was thinking of taking everyone down with him. But now things have taken a turn; someone is using Miraculous Item to interfere with the outcome of the Holy Grail War.

If a person is despicable enough, everything will turn around.

Old Audi might be thinking of using this reason to request a rematch, although the chances are slim, it's at least better than just accepting his fate.

The next moment, time in the entire world suddenly stood still.

The cards fluttering in the sky stopped in mid-air, the lingering buzz of the Swarm lingered on our eardrums, and the world turned gray, like a photograph stripped of all its colors.

Amidst the grayness, a bright yellow figure stood out conspicuously.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Chen Li, dressed in the Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit, actually appeared beside Old Audi.

The Old Audi, who was roaring, almost instantly shut his mouth the moment he caught a glimpse of the bright yellow figure out of the corner of his eye.

The roar abruptly stopped, and the expression on Old Audi's face visibly shifted from ferocity to flattery, like a student caught disrupting class by the teacher.

"Miraculous Forger, you've arrived." Old Audi plastered a smile on his face, his tone instantly becoming obsequious.

Just seconds ago, the man was hysterically screaming, "Where is the Miraculous Forger?" Now, he was so respectful that he almost wanted to kowtow to Chen Li.

"Yeah, you've been calling me, haven't you? I'm here now." Chen Li glanced at Old Audi with annoyance and said casually.

"Aha, you truly deserve to be called the Miraculous Forger of all people. Your concern for the contestants is a model for us all." Old Audi rubbed his hands together, his back slightly bent, his posture even Robin earlier.

"Arrogant at first, then obsequious; it's laughable to even think about it." From the top of the Haiyuan TV Tower below, Xing couldn't help but mutter to himself, looking at Old Audi's despicable face.

"Indeed." March 7th nodded in strong agreement.

"Chen Li... why did he remove us all from his whitelist? Why can't I see what's under his hood anymore?" Xing stared at Chen Li's figure for a while, then muttered to herself in confusion.

Himeko frowned slightly upon hearing this, expressing the same confusion.

The Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit that Chen Li is wearing is actually a cognitive barrier. It has a physical form and allows people who are added to the whitelist to see through the situation under the outfit.

This time, however, everyone saw Chen Li in his Golden Honkai-Moe King Outfit.

While floating in the air, Chen Li noticed the curious gazes from the crowd below. Without making a sound, he raised his sleeve and wiped the lipstick mark off his face.

From this perspective, Chen Li should thank Old Audi. If Old Audi hadn't gone crazy here, Chen Li probably wouldn't have been able to escape the Origami University Student Council office.

The group of guys said something about being affected by the wing powder of the Propagation Swarm, and then surrounded Chen Li, completely blocking his way.

The problem is, even if the Spirit Origin is temporarily altered, turning true Propagation into Propagation mixed with desire... this only amplifies people's inner desire for those who already have it.

If you had a clear conscience, you wouldn't have gone this far.

However, on the other hand, Chen Li did find it hard to believe that these people originally had no ulterior motives.

Of course, more importantly... the student council members and Vita, who possess Emanator- level power, are simply not susceptible to the Wing Powder!

"Speak, what do you want with me?" Chen Li snapped out of his thoughts and asked Old Audi coldly.

"The Miraculous Item Miraculous Forger are exquisitely crafted, truly breathtaking," Old Audi said with a smile.

"Speak freely, I'm always happy to hear criticism," Chen Li said, glaring at the Old Audi.

"Does the Master of Miraculous Forger really want me to speak frankly?" Old Audi hesitated for a moment, seemingly considering his words.

"That's natural." Chen Li nodded.

"The Miraculous Item forged by the Miraculous Forger are indeed very powerful, but..." Old Audi paused.

"Just what?" Chen Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's just that the wrong person was entrusted with the task, and the management was poor. It was truly wrong of them to allow this Firefly to use your Miraculous Item to interfere with the outcome of the Holy Grail War. If others were to know about the actions of the Miraculous Forger, I'm afraid... it would damage your divine prestige," Old Audi said in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Chen Li looked at Old Audi.

Old Audi also looked at Chen Li, his face bearing a loyal expression that said, "I'm doing this all for your own good."

"How dare you insult me, you brat!" Chen Li glared angrily at the Old Audi.

The instant he finished speaking, Chen Li grabbed the rim of the [Guardian of Human Order] trophy in his hand and slammed the heavy base down hard on Old Audi's head.

"Bang!"

The dull, heavy thud echoed throughout the entire Duality Paradise, sending chills down everyone's spine.

However, Old Audi was no ordinary man. Faced with Chen Li's attack, Old Audi actually used the legendary Blood Escape Technique. His entire body instantly transformed into a ball of spiritual particles and dissipated in front of Chen Li, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Chen Li looked at the empty seat in front of him, and slowly put the trophy, still tinged with the afterglow of the spiritual particles, back into his hand.

Sensing the Master's disappearance, the Propagation Aeon turned its enormous head uneasily. Its massive eyes, filled with compound eyes, looked at the spot where Old Audi had stood, then at the trophy in Chen Li's hand, and then breathed on Chen Li.

"Ha!!"

"What, you want to learn Blood Escape Technique too?" Chen Li glanced at the Propagation Aeon and said with some ill intent.
