"Lightning?!?"
"So, this... this is his true Echo?!"
"It's actually the lightning element, known for its immense destructive power?!"
"If it's this kind of Echo known for its extreme power, coupled with the monstrous physical strength he previously displayed... perhaps... it really can create Miracle!"
"Break through the defenses of the Armament Echoer in its Armament form!"
The key reason why those who Armament with armor can completely overwhelm those Armament are not is that—
The defense provided by the Armament is like a Wailing Wall to those of the same rank who are not Armament!
Those who aren't Armament can't even break through defenses, so how can they expect to win!
Class 8 area
Huomu, who was staring wide-eyed, holding his breath, and eagerly anticipating Qiji's [Flame Fist], was stunned.
Huh?
etc...
Wasn't it supposed to be the Flame Fist?
"Where is Yan?" he asked.
Moreover, even if we replace the terrifying lightning leaping around Qiji's body with imagined raging flames...
That doesn't seem right either, does it?
The [Flame Fist] that Qiji taught him requires a perfect, instantaneous coordination between Heart Essence and body to "ignite" the flames from the fist, right?
How could it be like this, with his entire body covered in such terrifying lightning before he even throws a punch?!
this...
Is this the same thing as the [Flame Fist] he practices?!
On the arena.
Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from Qiji, Su Shi, who had been so composed just moments before and eager to humiliate Qiji to avenge their previous Suyo, instantly lost her composure!
The violent lightning...
It actually made her feel a strong sense of threat!
We can't wait any longer!
The alarm bells in Suyo's heart rang wildly, and he made a decision in an instant!
"Under the True Name [The Person in the Mirror], liberation—"
Thousand Faces, Myriad Forms!
Without hesitation, she called out the [True Name] of the Armament!
She had just said "there's no need to use True Name," but at this moment, Suyo couldn't care less about that!
The moment the words fell—
"Splash splash...
The shards of mirror that had been swirling around her suddenly scattered and flew everywhere.
Of course, those fragments did not escape Suyo's control, but rather, like a swarm of living bees, they whistled and flew towards the four corners of the arena!
Then, they rapidly converge and piece together in mid-air!
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Four clear, crisp sounds, like glass solidifying!
At each of the four corners of the arena, a life-size mirror, taller than a person, was erected!
The mirror surface is not smooth, but covered with fine cracks, as if it might shatter at any moment, yet it strangely maintains its integrity.
The mirror no longer reflects ordinary images, but four figures in different poses, each wearing a mask of a different style, who are "Suyo"!
There is a figure holding a folding fan made of ice crystals, named "Frost Suyo".
The "Swift Gale Suyo" is a form of wind that swirls around one's body.
There is a "Fire Dance to the Suyo" where the person is engulfed in flames.
There's also the "Suyo the flowing sand and soil around us."
This is the liberation of the True Name through Suyo—
[Thousand Faces, Myriad Forms]!
By forcibly incorporating various Mimicry powers through "Imagery Forgery," the user differentiates and projects these powers to form mirror clones that possess some of the original's abilities and can fight independently or attack in coordination!
The cost is that the defensive capabilities of the [Person in the Mirror] Armament are greatly reduced.
They almost abandoned defense and switched to extreme offense!
Of course, this is a last resort for those Suyo legal recourse.
Because her Armament was incomplete.
It is a "fake" forcibly Imagery Forgery ".
The Armament itself was riddled with cracks and structurally unstable.
This also means that the defensive power of her Armament is probably only 1/10 or even less than that of a truly solid Armament.
Given the strength that Qiji is currently displaying, coupled with the violent lightning he controls, it is entirely possible that he could launch a fierce attack on the cracks in her Armament.
That would put her in a passive position.
If the defense is inadequate and the attack isn't lethal enough, you'll only be slowly worn down.
It's better to completely abandon defense and go all out on offense!
Victory in the shortest time, with the strongest burst of energy!
That's right, Suyo is a very pragmatic person.
She no longer thought about the kind of prideful rivalry that involved "beating up Qiji in a minute and a half."
To win, she even resorted to external means.
At this point, one will not hesitate or waver because of the "big talk" made casually earlier.
For her—
Winning is everything!
Everything, for the sake of winning!
She had to win this damn victory for her brother!
Brother, please look at me!!!
Qiji glanced at Suyo, his eyebrows slightly raised beneath the mask, somewhat surprised.
He hadn't expected that Suyo would actually have no psychological burden at all.
Just a moment ago they were spouting nonsense, saying they didn't need to use their [True Name].
However, in the blink of an eye, they immediately changed their minds.
However, Qiji didn't dislike the other party's all-out effort.
They're willing to go to such lengths to win.
Hachisu, you bastard.
For a moment, Qiji even felt a bit of admiration.
However, despite his admiration, Qiji had no intention of showing mercy.
because--
The effort he put in far surpassed that of anyone else!
No one was more deserving than him to win!
Do you know how he got through those thirty days?
He beat those horny turtles to a pulp for a full thirty days!
Do you know how sore his hands were?!
During this period, apart from necessary meals and sleep, there was not a moment of rest.
All for the sake of acquiring this power!
Now--
[Thunder Fist]!!!
Qiji lunged at Suyo, his fist, crackling with electricity, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek!
In an instant, it appeared before Suyo.
A powerful punch!
Just as his thunderous strike was about to hit Suyo—
The rock and Suyo in the four mirrors also Echo.
A thick wall of rock and soil suddenly rose from the ground, blocking the path that the thunder was bound to take.
The raging lightning power was channeled into the earth, carving a scorched furrow into the surface of the arena.
At the same time, the images of Suyo in the other three mirrors also moved!
Fire rained down from the sky, slamming into Qiji's back.
The ice blade whistled through the air, flying towards Qiji's throat.
The gale transformed into invisible chains, binding Qiji's feet.
Qiji frowned and cursed under his breath.
It's that damned system-driven dog!
The Echo of the Suyo simultaneously possesses defense, control, and damage—
Pure Trisolarans!
The disadvantage of Qiji no Echo was fully exposed at this moment.
He lacks a mechanism.
All he has are numbers!
These numbers are the result of hard work and sweat!
Thinking this, Qiji used [Blurring of Illusion and Reality] the next second!
What?
You're saying his [Blurring of Illusion and Reality] is also a mechanism?
What happened?
On the other hand—
Is this mechanism only Suyo the use of one person?
Is there any fairness left in this world?!
