This led Qin Mo to witness Kiana holding twin pistols in reality without firing a single shot, relying solely on hand-to-hand combat to wipe out the enemies.
"I've already cleared out all the enemies. Hurry down."
A single kick from Impact Steel unleashed a wide shockwave. These newly formed zombies simply could not withstand it, and Kiana quickly wiped out all the enemies that had gathered around. When she turned around, she saw Mei helping Qin Mo down.
Crazy Diamond stood guard around them. Whenever it encountered a zombie that had not completely died and tried to attack, it sent it flying with a Dora! punch.
It was clearly a perfectly normal scene, yet Kiana somehow felt a constant irritation in her heart.
It had to be because of the surrounding Honkai Energy and environment.
"Alright! Let's charge out in one go!"
Boom!!!
"Kiana really is full of energy..."
Mei smiled as she watched Kiana clear the way ahead, every attack she made causing an enormous commotion.
"Maybe she missed this place after being away for so long."
Miss the zombies? Even Qin Mo did not believe his own words.
The three of them—no, rather, Kiana alone—carved a bloody path through the enemy ranks.
After gaining a Stand and being fully equipped, Kiana's combat strength, fighting without restraint, was no weaker than that of an ordinary B-rank Valkyrie.
Moreover, it was still the early stages of the Great Eruption, when there were not yet many powerful Honkai Beasts. The three of them actually managed to fight their way out of Senba Academy.
"Alright, Kiana, come back."
After rushing out of Senba Academy, Qin Mo took a car from his backpack and placed it on the ground.
"We'll drive out of here next."
Although Qin Mo knew that the Hyperion would come here to deal with the Great Eruption in a few days, deliberately waiting would inevitably increase the chances of encountering danger.
There were many ways to enter St. Freya Academy, but one only had a single life.
"Qin Mo, is your body alright? If you can't manage, don't force yourself."
"I'm fine. It doesn't affect my mobility."
After taking the driver's seat, Qin Mo switched to Koby's character card. The hands of Heaven's Gate emerged from his body, and four hands gripped the steering wheel at once.
After increasing his attributes several times by consuming DISC, Qin Mo had allocated the points to precision and speed.
Although he envied the bold, powerful attacks of strength-type Stands, he knew that destructive power was not what his Stand needed.
After all, Heaven's Gate made its living through special abilities.
"Mei, sit in the front passenger seat. I'll sit in the back so I can shoot at enemies more easily."
The vehicle Qin Mo had produced was a roofless off-road vehicle. Kiana did not even open the door. With a push from her feet, she leaped into the back seat, holding her twin pistols as she kept watch behind them. Killer Queen floated at her side, observing both flanks.
"Hold on tight. We're moving!"
Once he saw that the two of them were seated, Qin Mo stepped on the accelerator and charged toward the outskirts of Chang Kong City.
"Everyone, be careful. The road conditions are bad, and once we reach the city center, we probably won't be able to drive anymore."
There were many wrecked vehicles on the road. At the instant the Great Eruption occurred, naturally no one had calmly pulled over to park their cars.
Those vehicles had crashed directly into nearby buildings or parked cars, leaving numerous obstacles on the roads. Not only could they not pick up speed, but the ride was also extremely bumpy.
"Just drive. I won't get thrown off."
Kiana spoke as she shot several zombies that had approached because of the noise from the vehicle.
"Is that so? Then... watch out!"
Chapter 2: Attacking Mechs
"Watch out!"
Although he had been distracted by talking, Qin Mo had kept his Observation Haki active. He suddenly sensed something flying toward them at incredible speed.
A Honkai Beast? No, Honkai Beasts were not that fast! It was a missile!
As Qin Mo's words fell, Crazy Diamond suddenly appeared.
"Dora!"
A wrecked car on the ground beside them was used as a shield, blocking the direction from which the missile was coming.
Boom!
The missile collided with the car and triggered a massive explosion. Using a car to block a missile was an extremely foolish thing to do, but before an unreasonable Stand, it was no longer quite so foolish.
"Dororororororora!!"
Crazy Diamond continuously threw punches toward the explosion.
For a humanoid Stand, whenever it encountered trouble, punching was enough!
Crazy Diamond appeared to be throwing punches wildly and without logic, but through his Observation Haki, Qin Mo sensed the torn metal within the explosion being gathered and repaired by Crazy Diamond's power. It then formed an enormous iron ball that completely sealed the explosion inside before being punched away.
"How are there firearms here? Are humans attacking us?!"
Neither Honkai Beasts nor zombies used firearms.
"I saw them! They're robots! Watch me smash them apart!"
"Kiana!"
Before the other two could stop her, Kiana had already stamped a deep footprint into the off-road vehicle, nearly flipping it over. Her entire body shot out like an arrow released from a bow.
In Kiana's eyes, four massive mechs appeared before her.
The two white mechs had no external weapons and were clearly melee mechs. The two dark blue mechs had multiple gun barrels mounted on them, but lacked the white mechs' agile limbs. They were probably only capable of long-range attacks.
The enemy mechs had clearly noticed Kiana's arrival as well. The dark blue mechs turned their gun barrels and fired several missiles in Kiana's direction.
"Ha!"
The twin pistols in her hands fired rapidly, detonating several missiles in midair. Killer Queen guarded her side and used its right hand to completely erase the missiles that slipped through.
At that moment, the white mechs had already charged over. One raised a fist half the size of Kiana's body and smashed it down at her.
"Rising Dragon!"
Kiana delivered a high kick, directly kicking the descending fist back. The enormous shockwave even left a huge crater in its fist, causing its massive body to lose balance.
Although Kiana's body was tiny compared to the mech, the strength she displayed far surpassed it.
The other white mech simultaneously threw a hook at Kiana from the side.
Buzz—
Killer Queen stood expressionlessly before it. The spot where its fist had been looked as though it had been smoothly cut away by something, turning it into a one-armed mech.
"This is my home turf!"
The mech that had lost balance from Kiana's high kick had not yet regained its footing when Kiana kicked it in the torso, producing a tremendous crash.
It was not enough to completely dismantle it, but it did cause it to lose balance and fall over.
"Heavy Tank Bunny 19C."
Before Kiana could feel proud of herself, an emotionless yet crisp voice entered her ears. Behind the fallen mech, a white mech with only an upper body floated in the air and punched toward her.
Having just kicked the mech over and not yet withdrawn her move, Kiana was sent flying by the punch.
Then, with a bang, she crashed into Qin Mo's arms.
"Ah, Qin Mo, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, cough, cough..." Although the Ox Talisman had increased Qin Mo's strength, it did not strengthen his physique. Afraid that his Haki would hurt Kiana, he had not dared to activate it to catch her.
As for Heaven's Gate? Don't mention it. Heaven's Gate was even weaker than Qin Mo.
"I told you not to be so impulsive."
After setting Kiana down, Mei had already had Crazy Diamond block several of the enemy's attacks.
"Qin Mo, the enemy seems to be a little girl?"
Mei had noticed during the battle that the girl controlling these mechs and that strange mech had light gray twin ponytails curled into spirals. However, her face was expressionless, like an emotionless machine.
"Heavy Tank Bunny..."
As the mechanical voice sounded, the floating Heavy Tank Bunny threw a punch toward the three of them.
"Dora!"
Crazy Diamond's fist met Heavy Tank Bunny's fist head-on.
Although it was not a Stand, Heavy Tank Bunny possessed strength no weaker than Crazy Diamond's.
However, the other side clearly could not detect Crazy Diamond's existence. After failing to land its first strike, it continued with a second punch. Unfortunately, while its strength was no weaker than Crazy Diamond's, its speed was nowhere near comparable.
Before it could throw its second punch, it was forced back step by step by Crazy Diamond's barrage.
However, its body was far sturdier than the other mechs. Even after being continuously bombarded by Crazy Diamond's heavy punches, it showed no sign of damage.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
Mei received nothing but endless silence in response to her question.
Mei bit her lower lip. If possible, she did not want to hurt a child who looked even younger than herself, but the other side's attacks were clearly not merely a greeting or a test.
"Mei, leave it to me."
After setting Kiana down, Qin Mo walked to Mei's side.
"But..."
"It's fine. Leave it to me. You and Kiana deal with those two mechs."
Mei still wanted to say something, but after seeing Qin Mo's serious expression, she silently nodded.
"Hehe, leave it to me. I definitely won't let those mechs get near you."
Kiana smiled and gave Qin Mo a thumbs-up before charging toward the enormous blue mechs.
"Be careful."
Mei gave a worried reminder before moving to block the other mech.
Watching the two of them leave, Qin Mo raised his right hand, black energy wrapping around it.
Clang!!!
With a deafening crash, Heavy Tank Bunny's fist was blocked by Qin Mo's fist, which was covered in Armament Haki.
"I'll have to trouble you for a moment."
A phantom arm of Heaven's Gate appeared from Qin Mo's arm and pressed against Heavy Tank Bunny's fist. On the display screen on the back of that hand was an image of Killer Queen.
At the same time, the phantom of the Stand's left hand raised its thumb and pressed down.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted from Heavy Tank Bunny's fist, and the blast wave knocked its body away. Qin Mo, wrapped in Armament Haki, remained perfectly still.
The Killer Queen ability acquired by Heaven's Gate had lost the Second Bomb, but an additional variation had appeared in the First Bomb.
He could choose Killer Queen's smokeless explosion, or he could choose an explosion with immense physical force that generated shockwaves. Even then, the physical explosion remained precisely controllable in Heaven's Gate's hands.
"Since you're called Heavy Tank Bunny, turning into a bunny shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Chapter 3: Biological Chip
Bronya, controlled by the chip in her brain, was completely incomparable to Bronya at full awareness in terms of combat strength.
While controlled by the chip, she would not make mistakes because of personal emotions or subjective awareness, but she had also lost the ability to adapt flexibly and the skills honed through countless battles.
The controlled Bronya could bring out Heavy Tank Bunny's power to the fullest, and Heavy Tank Bunny itself was extremely powerful. Although she had not possessed it for long, this quantum entity that resembled a robot was undoubtedly stronger than any mech.
And now...
This invincible Heavy Tank Bunny had turned into an actual little bunny.
Although it was covered entirely in metal, that appearance was unmistakably that of a rabbit.
