Mo Yi: It's time to ride Yana! (Continued)
Mo Yi: "..."
Aika, you've gone too far with that!
He had only mentioned a clone with a power of one in a billion, but now it had automatically upgraded to one in a billion, and some indescribable and incomprehensible thing had been added. The strange setting was that its mere name or existence could drive those who knew it insane or even self-destruct.
Hearing Aika's awkward boasting, especially the fervent and admiring look in her eyes, Mo Yi would probably have believed it if she hadn't been praising him, since it came from the mouth of the Root Princess.
At this moment, Mo Yi finally understood the frustration and helplessness of the Bone King I Have Already Castrated Myself. Having too loyal subordinates was not a good thing. If the other party found out that he was not that powerful, he might just say, "You dare to impersonate that person, die!"
Of course, Aika's awkward praise wasn't entirely meaningless; at least at this moment, Director K was looking at Mo Yi with awe and admiration, no longer daring to harbor any ulterior motives.
After converting Kenneth's mind to Mo Yi's, the next step was to deal with Brush Godilmuth, whose mouth had also been sealed by Mo Yi with runes.
Upon hearing Mo Yi's idea of sending Brush Brother to the Holy Grail so that it would manifest sooner, Director K raised his hand without hesitation and said, "I command you by Command Spell— "
Upon hearing this, Lancer knew his impending fate; his eyes widened, and tears welled up in his eyes!
Diarmuid's wish in participating in the Holy Grail War was to serve his lord once more, without having to be forced to cuckold Finn as he was in his previous life. (In the Moon World, young Finn was truly handsome, an embodiment of beauty and wisdom, the Director K of the Age of Gods. Unfortunately, he became quite unattractive in his old age, and his desire to marry a teenage Princess is understandable; he can't blame others for looking down on him. After all, if you're not good-looking yourself, why have a handsome Brush Brother by your side? Isn't that a tragedy of the flower and the green leaf? Why not have your more handsome subordinates wear masks? Wouldn't it be better to rename the Knights the Masked Knights? Could it be that the origin of Director K and Finn's relationship was 'being cuckolded'?)
But at this moment, if Director K uses Command Spell to make Brush Brother commit suicide, Brush Brother has no choice but to commit suicide. After all, if the ruler commands the subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. It's better than being tricked to death by Finn back then.
Diarmuid: But, in the end, I'm still a little unwilling!
"Stop, Kinneth— "
Mo Yi raised his hand to interrupt Director K's suicide Command Spell, looked at Diarmuid who looked unwilling, and said, "Diarmuid's wish is to serve his country properly one last time—"
"Although his strength is limited and fate is cruel, he is still a knight I admire."
"Kinneth, let him return to Hall of Heroes on the path of loyalty."
After saying that, Mo Yi snapped his fingers, and the Rune Prison on Brush Brother were released.
Besides being a magic genius, Director K was also quite good at interpersonal relationships. If he hadn't been such a sycophant, he wouldn't have died so miserably. So he immediately understood the true meaning behind the boss's words.
He raised his hand and used up both of his Command Spell, letting Brush Brother fight for him properly.
"My Lord——"
Feeling the power of the Command Spell emanating from his body, Diarmuid looked at Kinneth with great emotion. Although Kenneth's original intention was still to send him to his death, it was not a humiliating death like 'suicide,' but rather to let him fight the enemy and die on the road of the charge.
In Brush Brother's mind, this was the path to glory, and this way of dying could be considered as fulfilling his wish.
"Caster——"
Brush Brother looked at Mo Yi one last time and thanked him:
"Thanks--"
"But my gun won't hesitate, even if the odds of winning are slim—"
Brush Brother, who was also influenced by Green Song's over-the-top praise, felt that he couldn't beat such a big shot. Even though the other party was just a clone with a fraction of the power, the difference in their realms and the difference in their power were not significant. The big shot is still the big shot.
"This is my final tribute to my Lord!"
After saying that, Brush Brother summoned his red and yellow brushes, preparing to launch his final death charge. After all, he had already been instantly killed by Mo Yi once before, and he knew that if the other party used the same move, he would be helplessly killed.
"Rua!"
Facing the charging Brush Brother, Mo Yi also drew his dual pistols, but these were modern guns. His right hand held Whisper, the signature weapon of the Xayah from Honor of Kings, while his left hand held a laser gun he'd concocted himself—the Pseudo- Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment (a weapon Mo Yi created based on information and speculation, intended as a birthday gift for Ji Anya; currently in its practical form. After all, Aika could obtain any resources without needing money.)
"Warriors, times have changed!"
"Let me show you the marksmanship of this other world!"
Then, Mo Yi learned the authentic Kaslana Gun Fu from Happy Kallen and started playing with Brush Brother.
Brush Brother: "..."
This is some kind of otherworldly gun skill! Don't think I don't know these are modern firearms!
Unfortunately, given the vast difference in overall strength, even the red and yellow dual pistols, which were more advantageous in close combat, were easily suppressed by Mo Yi's Future Sight reaction.
What bothered Brush Brother the most was that his dual-wielding attacks were directly blocked by the same guns. Although they were shooting weapons, they were used by the opponent as if they were short sticks. Moreover, the opponent's occasional close-range attacks could not be completely blocked by the dual-wielding guns alone. After all, Whisper's Rune armor-piercing bullets and the fire-attribute magic bullets fired by the pseudo- Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment were both immune to Brush's Noble Phantasm effects. Since the systems were different, the opponent's magic-piercing ability was naturally ineffective, and Brush Brother was hit by several bullets as a result.
"It's time to Qi Yana!"
"Her breasts are perky enough! (Cat Magic)"
Once he felt it was about time, Mo Yi suddenly changed tactics, kicking out and sending the injured Brush Brother, who was focused on his dual-gun attack, flying.
The outcome is decided—
Aika muttered to herself, but what concerned her was the element she was trying to capture: the name 'Qi Yana' that Mo Yi had just mentioned seemed to be a woman's name!
Who exactly is Qi Yana?!
"I have already witnessed your bravery."
Mo Yi put away the fake Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment and said:
"But the time has come for this duel to end—"
"The World!"
This time, even Diarmuid and Director K could sense the changes in the surrounding space and see the eerie world where time had stopped, which was naturally Mo Yi's deliberate intention.
"This is the power of Lord Mo Yi— "
Green Song didn't miss any opportunity to boast, and said to Kinneth was frozen in place beside him, "Whether it's the world itself or the intangible time, they're nothing more than toys in the hands of adults!"
If Kinneth was previously convinced by exaggerated praise, he is now convinced by the shocking reality!
Because the opponent had no equipment whatsoever, and just by casually saying a few words, he unleashed a power that belonged to the realm of magic: 'time stop'!
"Sing a lament in the time that stands still, Diarmuid— "
Mo Yi walked step by step toward Brush Brother, who was stopped on the ground. Brush Brother could only listen to the footsteps of death knocking on his door. Then the other party walked past him and went to the back.
Brush Brother: "??!"
He finally understood how he had been instantly defeated before. Seeing the opponent's despairing ability, he was prepared to be punched through the heart by the opponent. But what was this? Why was the opponent behind him?
Mo Yi: Hmph, Cricket Brush Brother naturally wouldn't understand. Flanking maneuvers and trash talk are the romance of a time-manipulation master!
After successfully flanking, Mo Yi pointed at the location of the Brush Brother's spirit core and continued his taunts, "I bloom amidst slaughter, like a flower at dawn—"
"This is your perfect farewell—"
