I'm the Only One Allowed to Bully the Princess!
In terms of effect, it is far superior to the simple time-stopping effect of Sakuya Izayoi.
Even without Mo Yi, the Princess would notice the head maid's ability as soon as she used it. Then, as soon as she ended her ability, she would be trapped in the Princess's ability, and her previous 'pranks' would be instantly reflected back!
The specific form of the rebound is also very simple. As long as the Princess activates her ability, she can move Sakuya Izayoi to her current location, and then the Princess can stand in the head maid's original position and end the time barrier. This will create a rebound effect.
Head Maid: "What?!"
When Sakuya Izayoi can no longer understand, the Her Highness the Princess can calmly smile and say in a serious tone, "All your abilities are useless under these eyes. No matter what you do, you cannot achieve the truth you desire!"
"That's right, this is my true power, Houraisan Kaguya: the power to deflect everything!"
Of course, this is the expected development trajectory when Mo Yi is not around.
Since Mo Yi witnessed this, even though he knew that Sakuya Izayoi couldn't defeat the Her Highness the Princess by her own strength, Mo Yi still had to stand in front of the Princess. This wasn't a question of whether the Princess would fall for it, but rather a question of whether Mo Yi was a good friend.
"Miss Maid—"
After using Time Stop, Sakuya Izayoi walked towards Kaguya, but Mo Yi blocked her way the next moment.
"Have you forgotten that your 'world' has no effect on me?"
"Damn it!"
Upon seeing Mo Yi, Sakuya Izayoi calmed down slightly, but she hadn't given up on the idea of causing trouble and seeking revenge. To her, the reputation of the young lady Remilia was more important than her life!
"Are you sure you want to block my way, Hōrai Hazama?!"
Sakuya pulled several throwing knives from her thigh, stared at Mo Yi, and said coldly, "Then you should prepare yourself for getting hurt!"
Before becoming the head maid of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Sakuya Izayoi was a vampire hunter. As a human, facing vampires, who are different beings with various attributes and special abilities, Sakuya naturally had good combat skills. Otherwise, even with the ability to stop time, she would just be giving it away for nothing.
No matter how strong one's abilities are, it all depends on who controls them. If one's own abilities are insufficient, one cannot unleash their true power.
Just like Sakuya Izayoi's time-stopping ability, although it cannot change the current state of things, her most common attack pattern is to surround the enemy with throwing knives while the time is stopped, and when the ability ends, the throwing knives can pierce through the enemy from every angle.
If she possessed Marisa's ability, she could fire a beam of light during the time-stopping process, and immediately follow up the beam with a beam of light after the ability ended, instantly boosting her combat power by several levels.
Ultimately, Sakuya Izayoi's attack power is still within the limits of humanity; she cannot break through the defenses of a truly strong person unless she abandons her humanity altogether.
Sakuya Izayoi threw a flying knife at Mo Yi 'Mo Yi joints, seemingly intending to cripple him.
Then, he rushed towards Mo Yi, preparing for the next combo.
"It's useless--"
Facing Sakuya Izayoi's attack, Mo Yi had no intention of dodging. The various passive shields on Mo Yi's body, such as Malphite, the Shard of the Monolith's passive skill Granite Shield, were not something that attacks like throwing knives could penetrate. In addition, with the abilities of other heroes and the enhancement of Mo Yi's own Rune Magic, pure physical attacks, unless they reached a force of more than 15 tons or had special effects or mysterious power, could not cause any real damage to Mo Yi. They couldn't even deal -1 damage.
Some people may appear to be just a human wearing thin, defenseless clothing, but in reality, the man in front of Sakuya Izayoi is the most durable human in the entire Honkai World. Even if Judas taps his head, it's nothing more than a harmless act of coquetry on his part.
Seeing Mo Yi's complete lack of evasion, Sakuya Izayoi thought to herself: Could it be that the other party is also an ordinary person with special abilities, or perhaps an ability user who doesn't participate in battle? Otherwise, how could he be so afraid that he doesn't even have the reaction to dodge or block?
In that case, did I go too far?
But I, Sakuya Izayoi, have to commend and acknowledge your courage and actions in protecting your master!
Then, she saw the throwing knife hit Mo Yi's clothes with a loud thud, like hitting steel.
"Nari?!"
"It's useless--"
Mo Yi directly hit Sakuya Izayoi with a 'Rune Prison' spell, which stunned her for a moment and made her want to retreat. However, her agility was only within the realm of ordinary people, and she had no chance to dodge magic.
As a result, the opponent was frozen in place, maintaining a tactical backward leaning posture, ready to jump backward.
"While I'm not good at fighting, and I don't like pointless battles—"
Mo Yi slowly walked towards Sakuya Izayoi, who stood motionless like a statue, and simultaneously extended his index finger and thumb, making a nearly identical hand gesture as he retorted, "But between us, it seems I'm still a tiny bit stronger than you—"
That's right, it's just the difference between two fingers, a difference as vast as an entire universe.
Sakuya Izayoi: I was careless. The opponent's defense is far beyond what ordinary humans possess. The mysterious light now acting on me...
That's right, it's a magic attack!!
This man who cooks so well is actually a magician!
Seeing Mo Yi walking over unhurriedly, Sakuya Izayoi finally panicked. Although her body was imprisoned, she could still use her abilities. Of course, this was thanks to Mo Yi's deliberate actions. If it were the Rune Mage Ryze version of Rune Prison, she wouldn't have been able to move at all. The moment she was hit by this magic, she, a mere human, would have been torn to charcoal by the violent Rune Magic.
"World, release—"
A second later, Sakuya Izayoi was even more dumbfounded when she realized that everyone else around her was still unable to move.
"Why? I clearly lifted the time stop, so why can't the others move?!"

PS: Chapter 168: Kiana - Pufferfish Chapter 1.23: Looking at the suddenly deserted room, Mo Yi touched his forehead to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He couldn't help but complain in his heart: What kind of plot is this?! He had finally made up his mind to live a 'happy' life with a girlfriend, and suddenly it was gone. Wasn't all his previous resolve a waste of his feelings? I suspect that they are all playing a trick on me. For example, after Miss Pufferfish lost the truth or dare game, she chose dare and then came to play a trick on Mo Yi. Otherwise, why would a bunch of people appear at the crucial moment to laugh at me?! Meanwhile, in the True Kiana's room, the pitiful, helpless, and gluttonous Miss Pufferfish was surrounded by a group of Valkyrie in a corner, crouching defensively with her head in her hands, trembling and muttering, "What are you doing? Do I need your permission to talk to my boyfriend?" "Still being stubborn, Ji Anya?" Mei's clenched fist emitted blue and white electricity as she laughed, "Who isn't like that!"
Chapter 281: Only I Can Bully the Princess!
"Miss Maid—"
Mo Yi seemed to see through Sakuya Izayoi's doubts, and continued to walk calmly in front of her, extending his right hand and smiling, "You don't actually think that only your 'world' can pause time, do you?"
Sakuya Izayoi was incredulous, unable to utter a word of astonishment, only able to exclaim in her heart, "What?!"
"From the moment you dispelled your ability to 'destroy the world,' it was time for Star Platinum to reign supreme!"
Platinum Repeat Machine actually exists?!
To match the young lady's daily pretentiousness, the head maid naturally has to read the comics and novels that Remilia likes. Otherwise, if the young lady suddenly starts performing, she won't be able to keep up if she hasn't read the relevant content!
Sakuya Izayoi: Ahhh, don't come any closer!
No matter Sakuya Izayoi was ready to scream inside, she could only watch as Mo Yi stretched out his hand in front of her.
Could it be that this guy is thinking of...?
Hateful!
However, I will never give in; my heart already belongs to the young lady!
Two seconds later, she sensed something was wrong and realized that the situation seemed Taichi from what she had imagined.
