The Captain Just Wants to Go Home and Play Games

Therefore, possessing great power but lacking combat experience, she was inwardly terrified when Sirin's laser cannon bombarded her. Her defense was purely instinctive, like swatting away a mosquito that flies into one's eyes.

Thus, Theresa in the sky and Sirin on the ground stared each other down, frozen, neither daring to make a move. Theresa, despite her immense power, lacked the experience to wield it, while Sirin's Honkai Energy was dwindling. Her goal wasn't to defeat Theresa, but to rescue Kiana.

What if Theresa was intimidated by her seemingly strong but actually weak facade? A few harsh words, a promise of future retribution, and then a swift retreat would save a lot of Honkai Energy.

While Theresa and Sirin stood idle, each with their own agenda, Kiana was incredibly tense, not daring to blink. She assumed they were both gathering power for a decisive, lightning-fast strike the moment an opening appeared.

Caught in the middle of the battlefield, she dared not move, fearing she would become the breakthrough point for Theresa's attack.

Of course, Kiana was overthinking it. The reason they were staring each other down was simply because they were both scared.

"This is—"

As time passed, the atmosphere between the three grew increasingly strange. Then, Kiana pointed forward at a magic circle that suddenly appeared. Most remarkably, a playing card materialized around the edge of the circle.

At this, all three pairs of eyes turned towards it.

Theresa mistook it for an unknown attack from the enemy. Sirin thought the same, wondering if her opponent had secretly charged up a powerful move without her noticing.

As playing cards filled the magic circle, a beam of light instantly erupted.

Simultaneously, Theresa and Sirin, both terrified by their own imaginations, launched their attacks. A red spear and a laser cannon shot towards the center of the magic circle.

"Kiana, it's alright now."

The person who appeared in the magic circle was naturally Mo Yi, who had teleported over. He landed perfectly, right in front of Kiana.

"The reason is, I've come... huh?!"

What the heck? I just landed and I'm already being focused fire from both sides?

Can't you even ask if I'm an ally?

Are they trying to bully me because my Card Master hasn't activated stasis yet? (Stasis: An item in League of Legends – Zhonya's Hourglass – which makes a hero invincible for 2.5 seconds, but also unable to move, turning them into a golden statue.)

PS: Kiana has protagonist cheats, Mei has Honkai-infused power from the start, Aunt Himeko is also about to go Honkai-infused, Fu Hua is a cheat in herself, and now even Duck is about to transform into a motorcycle loli. Yet Theresa, an S-rank Valkyrie with full effects right from the start, keeps getting beaten down, unable to defeat anyone! Could it be that Theresa also has a belt, a supreme moment, and is about to unleash her full power?

Or maybe we should give Valkyrie: Eclipse some cheats too?

Chapter 34: Stop, please don't fight anymore!

Seeing Mo Yi, dressed strangely, appear on the magic circle, Kiana was surprised. But upon seeing him immediately bombarded by Sirin's attack, she quickly shouted, "Stop, that's a teammate—"

Unfortunately, reality isn't a game; attacks cannot be recalled once launched. Kiana could only yell.

"Dodge quickly, Mo Yi!"

Mo Yi hadn't ruled out the possibility of being focused fire upon landing. After all, anything could happen in reality, and he didn't possess the legendary Zhonya's Hourglass. He couldn't just stand still and activate stasis to outplay both enemies and allies. When teleporting onto the battlefield, one had to be alert and ready to adapt.

While using his ultimate ability, 'Destiny,' to travel, Mo Yi had divined that he might encounter danger. Therefore, he wasn't overly panicked by the focused fire from Theresa and Sirin upon landing. After all, he was a man who had wrestled with dozens of League of Legends champions, his combat experience far exceeding anyone present.

There were only two ways to deal with such a situation: defend in place or dodge.

Mo Yi chose the most common, simplest, and most effective method – Flash, a short-range spatial blink.

A summoner who can't even use Flash properly has no soul.

Over the years, Mo Yi had collected all the summoner spells, their effects as potent as in the game. These included 'Flash' for instant movement, 'Heal' to restore himself or allies, 'Cleanse' to remove debuffs, and 'Barrier' to block attacks.

Of course, when summoner spells materialized in reality, their actual effects were still influenced by the strength of both sides. For instance, 'Barrier,' which absorbs damage and blocks attacks, could withstand any amount of physical attack from a normal person, but might not even block a single blow from an enemy far stronger than Mo Yi.

Among the summoner spells, 'Flash' was undoubtedly a highly efficient and core ability. Instantaneous movement at critical moments could be used to evade unavoidable attacks or to close in on enemies for an assault, yielding extraordinary results.

However, this powerful ability, besides consuming a considerable amount of Magic Power and having a maximum range of 100 meters, also had a five-minute cooldown.

Therefore, it was a tactical ability, unsuitable for regular use. It could only be employed at crucial moments.

"Flash—"

As long as he flashed quickly enough, teammates and enemies wouldn't be able to catch him!

"Boom—"

"Big brother—"

After launching her attack, Theresa sensed the sudden appearance of someone emitting a familiar, kind aura – her big brother.

"I'm fine—"

Mo Yi, appearing a few meters away from Kiana, quickly switched to his Bard, the Wandering Caretaker Character Card. In Kiana's eyes, he had transformed into a strange figure wearing odd clothes and a mask.

While the Card Master's abilities were formidable, they were clearly unsuitable for a situation where even teammates couldn't be trusted, given he was a fragile mage with no evasion or defensive capabilities.

The Character Card he was currently using, Bard, the Wandering Caretaker, was undoubtedly one of the top three great beings among the many champions in League of Legends, a reigning savior in the League universe, possessing the power of a 'god' who could manipulate cosmic forces.

Of course, no matter how powerful the hidden abilities of the original being, to Mo Yi at this moment, it made little difference compared to other Character Cards. After all, the strength of an ability's nature depended not only on its effects but also on its output rate and how it was manifested. Mo Yi's current strength was that of a mere novice. Essentially, any champion's strength would be greater than Mo Yi's, so theoretically, whichever hero's abilities Mo Yi used, he could unleash 100% of his own power.

In a way, it was quite impressive, and he could congratulate himself.

Take spacetime abilities, for instance. They sound incredibly powerful, but if they can only slightly accelerate oneself, like Kiana's commonly used 'Space-Time Rift,' their actual effectiveness might not be better than common abilities like manipulating fire or lightning.

And with just fire abilities, some can only produce sparks to light a cigarette, while others can ignite stars and burn everything. This is the vast difference in the degree of ability.

Therefore, discussing ability effects without considering their magnitude is meaningless.

The Bard, the Wandering Caretaker Character Card was incredibly powerful. If it were the actual Bard, he could freely manipulate the mysterious forces of the universe, even influencing intangible destiny when necessary. However, for Mo Yi, who was borrowing his power, he couldn't even unleash a ten-thousandth of the original's strength. He could only use the abilities the champion had in the game, not their true power.

The main reason Mo Yi chose Bard's abilities now was that Bard's ultimate, 'Harmony of Fate,' was a very suitable ability for de-escalating conflicts and defending. It was practically comparable to the legendary 'Face-Fruit,' capable of bringing everything to a standstill, preventing anyone from harming each other, and forcing everyone to step away from their keyboards and watch the game, like a divine move where everyone listens to the big brother.

As soon as Mo Yi shouted, "Stop, you guys, stop fighting! You can't kill anyone like this!" and activated Harmony of Fate, everyone affected by the ability truly couldn't kill each other.

No matter what happened next, whether they continued fighting or continued attacking Mo Yi, Mo Yi could use this move to put himself and Kiana into "Mo Yi's Invincible Time." If the situation turned bad, he would immediately activate Bard's other skill, Magical Journey, creating a spatial portal. Taking advantage of the two to three seconds everyone was frozen by Harmony of Fate, he would instantly return to Mo Yi's home with Kiana.

According to Mo Yi's budget, his Magic Power should be just enough.

After completing the Character Card ability conversion, Mo Yi finally felt at ease and began observing the situation. First, the voice of "big brother" from earlier had made Mo Yi very concerned and curious. Looking around, he saw a silver-haired girl with twin ponytails suspended in mid-air.

It was different from a little over a week ago. After descending into Honkai Impact 3rd from Her Highness the Princess, Mo Yi had spent a lot of time recalling past plot points, and he had remembered many forgotten things.

Although the world he was currently experiencing was vastly different from the plot world of Honkai Impact 3rd, many things were highly relevant. If he truly encountered them in the future, at least he wouldn't be in the awkward situation of mispronouncing their names.

In just over a week, Mo Yi naturally hadn't forgotten the silver-haired, twin-tailed, red-eyed loli who had asked him what flavor of ice cream he liked. Mo Yi now had a guess about her identity.

Valkyrie: Eclipse. In a parallel world of Honkai Impact 3rd, Schicksal's protagonist, Otto, created another "Theresa" to revive Kallen.
