Even though they couldn't see Mo Yi's expression through the Comical Mask, his tone was unusually serious and sincere.
"To get home and turn off the stove faster, I've decided to unleash a super awesome attack!"
"You guys better be careful not to die."
With that, dark energy spheres began to appear around Mo Yi. In just two seconds, hundreds of them materialized, though they were quite small, each only about the size of a fist.
These energy spheres were precisely the 'dark orb' magic that Dark Sovereign Syndra was most skilled at. However, Syndra's dark orbs were a meter in diameter, while Mo Yi's were miniature versions. It was precisely because they were mini-versions that Mo Yi could conjure so many in two seconds.
If it were the original dark orbs, it would take an eternity and exhaust Mo Yi to death to conjure that many.
The reason for conjuring mini dark orbs was twofold: firstly, for a concentrated barrage to seal off the Phantom Duo's evasion space, and secondly, for safety. If the conjured orbs were too large and accidentally killed someone, Mo Yi would be in serious trouble, possibly having to atone with his own life.
After all, his opponents weren't bad people; he couldn't just kill friendly forces!
"Hey, hey—"
Just from the preliminary attack, Amano Ginji, seeing the sky filled with mini dark orbs, couldn't help but swallow. He said to his companion, Midou Ban, "Ban, do you think these black things will explode?"
Midou Ban was silent for a moment before whispering, "I think they might—"
"Just don't get hit later. I don't want to spend another fortune on medical bills; the budget for this month is already close to exceeding its limit."
As soon as Midou Ban finished speaking, both of them simultaneously sprinted to the sides. Their objective was simple: to reduce the density of Mo Yi's attack and force him to attack two directions at once.
Then, they charged towards Mo Yi, unleashing their signature attacks.
"Thunderstorm—"
Amano Ginji spread his hands towards Mo Yi, and a fierce net of lightning shot towards him.
"Snake Bite—"
Meanwhile, Midou Ban used Snake Bite on the ground, then grabbed forcefully, lifting a massive stone block. He hurled it at Mo Yi— Taki x Roll-a-da (Eat my steamroller)!
"My energy is endless—"
Facing the attacks from the Phantom Duo, Mo Yi didn't continue conjuring orbs. He directly unleashed Dark Sovereign Syndra's ultimate move—Energy Barrage.
"Energy Barrage!"
Accompanied by a powerful psychic wave, over a hundred mini dark orbs in the air scattered outwards. Naturally, the primary targets were Amano Ginji and Midou Ban.
"BOOM—"
Just as Midou Ban had suspected, these dark orbs did explode. While the power of a single orb might not be significant, the simultaneous detonation of over a hundred created a massive explosion that could be heard throughout the eastern suburbs of Changkong City. Some citizens living nearby felt the ground shake violently. Those who were asleep, and even those still striving for the continuation of humanity, couldn't care less and ran out of their homes to open spaces.
After all, during an earthquake, running to an open area is common sense, especially since Changkong City is located in an earthquake-prone zone, a port city where earthquakes of varying magnitudes occur frequently. The people were experienced.
"An earthquake! Run!"
At the center of the explosion, the power of Mo Yi's Energy Barrage, which consumed nearly half his Magic Power, was formidable. Both Amano Ginji's electric shock and the large stone Midou Ban had thrown were destroyed in an instant by the psychic power and dark orbs.
As for the two of them, Mo Yi felt it wasn't a big problem. Such a dispersed attack would at most result in minor injuries. The idea of staying to check the situation was out of the question; after a clash like this, it was the best time for a strategic retreat.
"Tahm Kench, the River King—"
After switching to the Tahm Kench, the River King Character Card, Mo Yi immediately used his remaining Magic Power to unleash Tahm Kench, the River King's ultimate move—Abyssal Dive.
In the game, Tahm Kench, the River King, could take teammates with him when he activated this skill. Of course, the method of carrying was by swallowing his teammates, infamously known as the Death Bus of the Traveling Frog—Once you're on my ride, you can't get off?!
In Mo Yi's case, that was impossible. After all, Mo Yi's mouth was so small; how could he swallow a whole person? Unless he activated his transformation, turning himself into a giant toad-like human.
As the saying goes, looks are justice. Mo Yi, who considered himself a partner of justice, had never transformed into a toad-like human since his first attempt with this Character Card. Being too ugly would lower his luck value, especially in the game world. Only minor characters or mini-bosses were ugly because the protagonist team and charming villains needed fans. Otherwise, how could players shout "X X, you're my wife!" while frantically spending money?
"Abyssal Dive."
The moment the dark orbs were launched, causing a violent explosion, repelling the Phantom Duo, and incidentally affecting Akashi Kurado, Mo Yi immediately performed a mid-air triple somersault with a split, diving into the ground that had turned into water. Not a single ripple was made. In the Olympics, it would definitely be a perfect dive worthy of a Celestial Empire athlete, vanishing instantly.

Chapter 44: But I See You Licking It Happily
The world is a river, and I am its king—Tahm Kench, the River King.
Although the model for Tahm Kench, the River King, was a giant toad, it had no relation to the Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku. Its true identity was a powerful demon. Otherwise, it wouldn't dare to arrogantly declare itself the king of the world and not be killed afterward.
After using the Tahm Kench, the River King Character Card, Mo Yi's biggest feeling was that he had gained an extra 'hand'.
In the game, Tahm Kench's primary attack method was his large tongue. Mo Yi, having acquired the opponent's abilities, naturally also gained an astonishing tongue skill. It could be soft or hard, long or short, impervious to swords, and immune to fire. It was far more formidable than the Folding Stool, rumored to be the king of the ten great weapons.
After all, the Folding Stool needed to be carried around with effort, whereas a tongue was more discreet and convenient.
While Tahm Kench's abilities were useful, Mo Yi had to consider one problem: this world had monsters like Honkai Beasts. Forget transforming into a toad-like human; even just sticking out his tongue everywhere like Orochimaru from the neighboring storyline would cause his likability to plummet like stocks if seen by others.
A specific example could be seen in One-Punch Man, where Saitama, despite doing so many good deeds, not only received no gratitude but was even blamed.
Furthermore, with other Character Cards available to replace Tahm Kench, unless he needed to use Tahm Kench's ultimate move, 'Abyssal Dive,' Mo Yi really didn't have many opportunities to use this card.
Since his home was already equipped with wards placed by Mo Yi, he didn't need to worry about not having spatial markers when using teleportation or spatial shift skills with spatial transfer effects when returning home from outside.
"BOOM—"
The explosion of over a hundred mini dark orbs scoured the surrounding environment. Since it was an uninhabited suburb, there was no need to worry about casualties.
"Bang—"
Emerging from the rubble, two figures rose from the scattered stones and mud: Midou Ban and Amano Ginji.
Midou Ban looked around at the terrible scene, his head beginning to ache. He only relaxed when he saw Akashi Kurado standing not far away, saying, "Doctor Wolf, you have to testify for us. This wasn't destroyed by us, otherwise the Cultivator Association will dock our pay again."
"No problem—"
Akashi Kurado licked his lips and smiled, looking at the spot where Mo Yi had disappeared underwater. "I look forward to our next meeting."
With that, he vanished before the eyes of Midou Ban and Amano Ginji.
"This is a headache. How am I supposed to write the mission report now?"
Midou Ban and Amano Ginji had accepted an investigation mission, but after a huge battle, they had no idea how much public property they had destroyed. They didn't even know what the other party looked like, and the names the other party had mentioned were mostly aliases.
After receiving the opponent's powerful attack just now, Midou Ban had been too busy defending to even notice how they left. It was likely only Akashi Kurado had seen it.
