The Dimensional Codex of Destruction Chapter 26

An injured human's speed, how could it possibly compare to a healthy peregrine falcon!

Kiana felt a shadow flash overhead and instinctively tilted her head. Her shoulder was pierced by the falcon's talons, tearing away a piece of flesh.

"Ah!"

The ice cones' attack speed wasn't fast; in comparison, the peregrine falcon's own flight speed was superior.

Although a Stand user, Petsha itself was still a powerful peregrine falcon. When its Stand ability couldn't hit the enemy, it once again unleashed its ancient hunting instincts, tearing at Kiana's body.

If not for her instinctive evasion, Kiana's head would have been pierced by now.

Failing in one strike, it swiftly retreated. In the blink of an eye, Petsha had once again escaped Kiana's attack range.

And it left a string of ice cones to smash towards Kiana.

Due to the injury to her shoulder muscles, Kiana could only use Ebony for point shots with her left hand. However, without its rate of fire advantage, Ivory couldn't shatter all the incoming ice cones.

With the help of her Stand, she narrowly dodged the barrage of ice cones.

Petsha revealed a mocking smile in the air as a large number of ice cones rained down towards Kiana once more.

The large-scale bombardment made Kiana's pathetic mobility completely unable to dodge. Lying on the ground, Killer Queen appeared above her. Instead of using its spatial erasure ability with its right hand, it clenched its fist and smashed towards the ice cones.

Killer Queen's panel stats weren't high, meaning it couldn't precisely shatter every incoming ice cone like Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond.

Numerous ice cones shattered around them, and the cold air enveloped Kiana, wrapping around her.

Frost slowly condensed on the ground, spreading to Kiana. Unknowingly, Kiana had fallen into this bird's trap.

Killer Queen was still struggling, while Kiana watched the increasingly large ice cones constantly forming above her, their size completely exceeding her range of movement.

Is this the end? It's so cold, I want to sleep...

As the ice pillars began to fall, Killer Queen's punching speed slowed, and Kiana's eyelids grew heavier. The significant blood loss and hypothermia made it impossible for her to recover her stamina.

Killer Queen's figure became illusory as a massive ice pillar heavily struck the spot where Kiana lay.

Petsha circled in the air a few times. Seeing no movement within the mist of frost, and nothing breaking through the ice to escape, Petsha let out a cry and turned, flying towards the mansion.

Snap!

A snapping sound echoed abruptly in the empty ground.

Petsha instinctively glanced towards the ice pillar, and that glance saved its life. A spear shot towards it at high speed.

Flapping its wings, it dodged the spear's attack. Petsha's pupils contracted; there was a tiny hole in the massive ice pillar.

And the size of that hole was exactly the same as the spear.

Swish swish swish!!!

Several consecutive spears shot out from the ice pillar, but Petsha dodged them all. The ice pillar, due to the spear's cutting, split perfectly into four sections, falling in four directions.

A figure with white hair, golden eyes, and a cold expression stood within. If not for the tattered pajamas, it would have been like a queen ruling the world.

"Who allowed you to look down on me... you worm!"

With a crisp snap of its fingers, several Space-Time Spears were launched towards Petsha from the Herrscher of the Void's side.

The Space-Time Spears generated by the Herrscher's authority were not something ordinary substances like ice cones could contend with. The newly formed ice cones were torn and shattered, even a portion of its wings were pulverized.

What is this! What's going on with this guy!

Petsha couldn't understand. As a Stand user among peregrine falcons, it possessed intelligence comparable to humans. Ordinary humans were no different from wild rabbits or pheasants in its eyes.

But it was conquered by a human, no, that person was not a frail being like a human.

Although possessing a human-like appearance, their existence was undoubtedly beyond that of humans, and this was the first defeat it had experienced since its birth.

The pressure from that person was something no other being could impart.

But what about this guy!

Its previous actions clearly showed it was just an ordinary human, yet the power and aura it displayed now were completely different.

It was like someone, inhuman, no, a being that surpassed humanity.

However, even when facing a powerful enemy, I will give my all for that person!

A Stand resembling bird bones appeared behind Petsha, and a large number of ice cones continuously materialized in the sky.

"Struggle with all your might, worm."

Feeling the discomfort in its body, the Herrscher of the Void looked down at its body, which couldn't even materialize its attire due to the lack of Honkai Energy. Then, it looked up at the countless ice cones in the sky.

The Herrscher of the Void's eyes held no emotion.

Looking at the ice cones that had already closed in on it.

An orange-red void appeared in front of it.

"To think I can only generate one now."

Feeling the depletion of Honkai Energy within its body, the Herrscher of the Void snapped its fingers, and a void appeared behind Petsha.

Before it could understand why its attack had disappeared, Petsha was attacked by the countless ice cones it had launched from behind.

"This is quite an interesting place. Have I really arrived in another world?"

Without paying attention to Petsha, who had been shot down by her attack, the Herrscher of the Void looked at her palm. The Herrscher of the Void's authority was the power to connect with the Imaginary Space.

However, she clearly felt that she could not connect to the Imaginary Space, nor could she feel the existence of the Honkai Will. There was no Honkai Energy in this world at all!

The attack just now was purely a display of the power stored within her Herrscher core.

Killer Queen silently appeared behind her, and the Herrscher of the Void looked at the blue and white Stand.

"A Stand, huh? It is indeed a special power."

She reached out and placed her hand on Killer Queen. Killer Queen's body began to be eroded by the Herrscher of the Void's power, and the yellow decorative elements on its body gradually turned orange-yellow, but it wasn't very noticeable.

"Although it consumed quite a bit of power, it will definitely be the key to my escape from this cage."

She felt her Herrscher core was almost dry, but she wasn't in a hurry. In this world, it didn't matter how much destruction she caused; without Honkai Energy to replenish her, she would be like a grasshopper in autumn.

However, by planting her Honkai Energy as a contingency within the Stand, the Herrscher of the Void was confident that she would be able to successfully seize control of this body at the right time.

Chapter 32: Impact Steel - Gilgamesh

Several minutes ago...

Qin Mo, who had been smilingly watching Jotaro put pressure on D'Arby, suddenly changed his expression.

"Qin Mo..."

Mei's voice from beside him confirmed the fluctuation he had just sensed.

"It's Kiana!"

Qin Mo whispered, then said to Jotaro, "Jotaro, finish him. Kiana's in trouble, and we don't have time to waste. Mei and I are going ahead!"

After speaking, Qin Mo took Mei and rushed towards the direction of the Honkai Energy fluctuation he had sensed.

Sensing Honkai Energy in a world without it, the only possibility was Kiana. Although Mei didn't know why, Qin Mo knew that such a violent Honkai Energy fluctuation was exactly the same as when Miss Herrscher of Thunder appeared.

He didn't expect that this journey would involve two Herrschers appearing at once. Sirin shouldn't have had enough power to appear.

Polnareff wanted to ask Qin Mo how he knew, but all he saw was the retreating figures of Qin Mo and Mei.

"Yare yare..."

Adjusting his hat, Jotaro looked at D'Arby in front of him. Star Platinum raised its fist in D'Arby's terrified gaze.

When Qin Mo and Mei arrived at the place where they sensed the Honkai Energy, they saw a scene of devastation. In the center of the wreckage, a white-haired girl lay on the ground.

"Kiana!"

Mei quickly ran over and picked her up.

"Such severe injuries!"

Crazy Diamond appeared swiftly to heal Kiana, but some of her injuries could not be recovered.

"What happened? Why aren't these injuries healing?"

Qin Mo stood beside them, saw the corpse of Peregrine Falcon lying not far away, withdrew his gaze, and squatted down to examine Kiana's injuries.

"Crazy Diamond's ability is to repair, not to heal, so it cannot create something from nothing. These missing parts on Kiana's body should be because those parts of flesh and blood have completely disappeared."

Looking at the missing flesh and blood even after being repaired, Qin Mo made a judgment: "Just like the parts erased by Killer Queen cannot be repaired. This situation requires normal treatment methods."

He took out a healing potion from his backpack, gently supported Kiana's head, and fed her the potion.

The potion, certified by the System, was very effective. As soon as it was swallowed, Kiana's flesh and blood regenerated, and her eyelids twitched as she opened her eyes.

"Mei... Qin Mo... Did you come to save me?"

As soon as she opened her eyes and saw two familiar faces, Kiana's memory only went as far as when she collapsed.

"Kiana, are you okay? What happened just now?"

Although her memory was still from before, Kiana's body had completely recovered. She stood up with Mei's support and looked at the surroundings.

"I was attacked by that Stand called Yellow Temperance in the hotel, and he even turned into a vampire. At first, I was chased by him, then I injured him with Ripple, and he kept fleeing until he got here."

Kiana, who was hazily recalling the previous events, suddenly saw the corpse of Petsha not far away: "Ah! Right! Then that darn bird killed that guy and attacked me! Did you beat it!?"

"Ah... no..."

"That's right, it was us. It's fine now."

Qin Mo interrupted Mei, giving her a meaningful look. Mei, understanding his intention, didn't continue. Kiana, not suspecting anything, directly asked Qin Mo, "Qin Mo, quickly give me some clothes. I ran out in a hurry and didn't change."

Kiana was still wearing her pajamas. Although they had been repaired, it was still not appropriate to wear pajamas on the street.

Qin Mo took out a few new clothes he had bought earlier from his backpack and gave them to Kiana. However, there were no undergarments. They wouldn't entrust their undergarments to Qin Mo's care.

It wasn't a matter of distrust, but rather that entrusting such things to someone of the opposite sex was always a bit embarrassing.

After running behind a nearby bush to change, Kiana walked out: "Okay, let's go back. Honestly, I haven't even had breakfast yet."

"We can't go back yet."

Qin Mo looked at the mansion not far away.

"Huh? Why?"

"Kiana, haven't you noticed? This is the place Mr. Joestar and the others were looking for."

Mei noticed the mansion as well when she saw Qin Mo's gaze, and she knew their journey was finally coming to an end.

"But I'm really hungry..."

After handing some food to Kiana, Qin Mo casually opened the System's gacha interface. "Come on, Kiana, the final battle is about to begin. Let's see what we draw!"

After Kiana defeated Yellow Temperance and Petsha, Qin Mo's crystals finally reached 500 again. D'Arby had also just been defeated, with over fifty extra.

Qin Mo finally realized that defeating the same person repeatedly could also yield rewards. However, since they were already here, he had no intention of grinding for crystals.

Kiana, while eating the food in her hand, clicked to draw.

Mei also looked over together. The gacha draw was quite appealing, especially when the items drawn could manifest into physical objects.

Seeing the golden rarity appear only on the tenth draw, Qin Mo seriously suspected that the System's drop rate was only guaranteed for pity pulls.

"What did I get? What did I get?"

Qin Mo first clicked on the golden item. To be able to use it immediately, Qin Mo chose to draw from the item pool.

"Don't rush, let me see."

Impact Steel - Gilgamesh (S)

Effect: Can integrate with a living body, strengthening the flesh and adding impact to attacks.

Description: Made from the special demonic realm metal Impact Steel, it can change its form according to the user's will. When attacking, it generates immense shockwaves based on the user's strength.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Mo's eyes widened. Although it originated from the same worldview as Ebony and Ivory, this equipment was far beyond what those two guns could offer.

While this equipment was not a demonic artifact, it possessed power comparable to, or even surpassing, demonic artifacts.
