My exclusive card pool

Chapter 254 The Queen's Friend
The greatest value of "Titan Unit-01" as a five-star item card of deep purple quality lies in the fact that... even if an ordinary person uses it, they can instantly possess title-level combat power.

At this stage, Wang Xi has already reached the three-star level of the Silver Frame title, and the "Titan Unit 1" is more like a "weapon" specifically designed to target giant objects.

With it, Wang Xi could save a lot of effort.

"Get out of my way!" the green-hatted giant roared, grabbing Titan Unit-01's ankle and swinging it away.

boom!
The wind blows.

The 20-meter-tall steel behemoth spun and flew horizontally, but soon, golden-pink flames erupted from its back, abruptly stopping its inertia and bringing it to a standstill in mid-air.

next second.

boom!
The steel giant regained its balance, spewed back again, and punched the green-hatted giant in the face.

Bang!
Bang bang bang! !

The two giants clashed violently, and a terrifying shockwave spread out, sending the surrounding chess pieces and soldiers flying.

To conserve energy, Wang Xi did not use the energy barrier that came with Unit-01, but instead used the snow flame shield formed by his own magic power as a substitute.

Although Unit-01 was slightly shorter than the Green-Haired Giant, its tough shield defense prevented the Giant from gaining any advantage.

Wang Xi was most skilled in defense.

Bang bang bang! !

The green-hatted giant's fists and feet struck the shield with a dull thud, scattering icy chill. These ice shards, upon touching him, instantly transformed into blazing white flames, burning fiercely.

"Ah!" the green-hatted giant cried out in pain, which only fueled his even more ferocious rage. "Where did this tin can come from? I'll smash you flat!!"

Bang! !

He threw another punch, slamming it into the Snowflame Shield, unleashing a surge of violent magic.

Wang Xi's Unit-01 remained motionless, and with a backhand punch, he slammed it into the green-hatted giant's left cheek.

"puff--"

The giant known as the Sneezing Demon stumbled on the spot, crushing several chess pieces at his feet. He spat out a mouthful of blood, which, along with snot and broken teeth, splattered all over the ground.

"Ahhh!"

The giant shook his head, burning with rage.

He suddenly took a deep breath and sneezed: "Achoo—"

Boom! !
A high-pressure airflow, carried by countless wind elements, spewed out of the green-hatted giant's mouth, forming a giant vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters.

Bang! !

slam-la-

Unit-01 immediately raised its arms, and a snow and flame shield as large as a small mountain rose from the ground to withstand the opponent's sneeze.

A violent vortex swept past, pushing Unit-01 horizontally for hundreds of meters, carving two deep furrows into the plain.

Amidst the earth-shaking tremors, dozens of chess piece soldiers were crushed by the iron feet of Unit-01, turning into dust without a sound.

"Chapo!" At this moment, Red Queen Beth, who had already fled to a distance, finally stopped and called out to the sky.

The red dragon spread its wings and circled, then swiftly swooped down and landed smoothly in front of the Red Queen, bowing its head respectfully: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty Beth, your faithful servant offers you his sincerest greetings."

"Alright, now's not the time for these flattering words."

Beth frowned slightly as she looked at the two giants.

She pointed to the giant steel golem shaped like a nutcracker and asked, "Is that the helper you found?"

“Your Majesty, uh… that’s a friend I met in the mortal world named Kai Farrell. He is actually an incredibly powerful wizard.”

Cha Bo dared not hide the truth and immediately explained to the Red Queen.

"You make friends too?" Beth asked with a strange expression.

“Your Majesty…” Cha Bo said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

Does the Red Queen think that she can't even make friends?

Fortunately, Beth didn't dwell on it too much, but instead pondered, "A wizard... is this giant steel golem also one of his methods?"

Of course, Cha Bo wouldn't mention that he had once been beaten up by this big guy; he just coughed and nodded.

“Interesting.” Beth narrowed her eyes. “To be able to fight the seven giants under Snow White to a draw, he’s a capable fellow.”

Chapo added at the opportune moment, "When Mr. Gai heard that His Majesty was in danger, he volunteered to come with me to the rescue..."

"Oh?" The Red Queen smiled, her interest growing even stronger.

Then, another loud bang was heard—

"Ah sneeze!!"

The green-hatted giant sneezed again, blowing Unit-01 into the air. The snow and flame shield that had formed in front of it trembled and showed cracks.

Wang Xi, positioned in the cockpit, scanned the green-hatted giant on the ground with his spiritual sense, and thought to himself:

'This giant is incredibly resilient; after taking so many punches from me, he only suffered superficial injuries… It seems I need to find an opportunity to kill him with a single blow.'

He immediately activated the "Thousand Machines Heavenly Net Puppet Talisman".

Unit-01 tumbled in mid-air and suddenly raised one hand.

Countless magical threads silently fell, weaving a "spider web" around the green-hatted giant.

——"The World of Looms (Branding)"

Just as the green-hatted giant was about to take a step to give chase, he suddenly found that his body was stuck in the mud, encountering tremendous resistance and his movements became sluggish.

"What is this?" The sneezing spirit looked around, but couldn't see any threads. "Damn it!!"

Wang Xi remained calm as he hovered Unit-01 in mid-air.

He once again used the "Golden Jade Robe".

whoosh-

A thick jade python, about ten meters long, flew out from the void, snaked down, coiled around the green-hatted giant, bound his arms, and finally bit his neck.

puff!

Blood surged wildly.

"Uh uh-ah!"

The sneezing spirit struggled incessantly, but the jade python tightly coiled around it, rendering it unable to move.

The giant roared to the sky, its bloodshot eyes fixed on the steel golem in mid-air: "Coward! You're so sturdy, yet you dare not fight me head-on! Get down here!!"

Wang Xi remained unmoved by the giant's challenge.

This guy's name is Snotty, but it would be more appropriate to call him Brainless.

Why engage in close combat when you can fly a kite?

Wang Xi, inside the cockpit, closed his eyes, raised his hand, and drew a wooden sword from thin air.

The stars twinkled amidst the children's joyful laughter.

Meanwhile, Unit-01, which was being controlled in sync with consciousness, also struck the same pose in mid-air.

The 20-meter-tall Nutcracker puppet raised its hand and grabbed, conjuring a ten-meter-long incandescent greatsword out of thin air.

The sword was still engulfed in blazing white flames.

A terrifying aura descended from the sky, causing the green-hatted giant to shudder. As for the chess piece soldiers, they all seemed to be stunned, frozen in place, and looked up in unison.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Chabo exclaimed in surprise and immediately shielded the Red Queen in front of him.

Beth glanced back at the dragon huddled behind her and rolled her eyes.

Although Chapo is hailed as the "Great General," he is actually still a child who hasn't grown up and is basically just Beth's pet.

If we really want to accomplish something big, we still need to rely on Bluebeard and the Sea Witch, their two right-hand men.

only……

Neither of them was entirely loyal; both harbored their own ulterior motives. The Red Queen was fully aware of this, but faced with the White Queen Melanie's relentless pressure, she could only feign ignorance, as she had no one else to rely on at the moment.

Beth sighed inwardly as she looked at Chapo's furtive appearance.

If Chabo had come of age earlier, she wouldn't be in this awkward situation now.

Thinking of this, Beth brushed back the messy red hair from her forehead and squinted at the giant steel golem in mid-air.

“Jay Farrell…”

She murmured the name, a strange feeling rising in her heart.

Boom! !
Suddenly, a thunderous roar resounded in mid-air.

The Nutcracker puppet held its swords high in both hands, then brought them down heavily on the green-hatted giant below.

boom--

The incandescent sword light cascaded down like a waterfall.

The sneezing creature looked frightened, quickly took a deep breath, and sneezed again.

With a loud bang, accompanied by the howling of a hurricane, the falling incandescent sword light was momentarily blocked.

But then, the sword's edge, with unparalleled power, cleaved through the hurricane and swept past the green-hatted giant.

bass! !

The sneezing man's face showed pain.

Immediately following, a blood-curdling scream erupted: "Aaaaaah!!"

His green pointed hat slipped off, revealing a bald forehead with only a few sparse hairs.

There was a squeak.

A gruesome sword wound appeared on the giant's chest, extending from his left shoulder to his right waist. The blood that had just gushed out was ignited and vaporized by the snow flames.

Blood streamed from the sneezing spirit's mouth and nose, his face contorted in a grotesque grimace. With his last breath, he roared, "Wind—Breath—!"

The hurricane suddenly roared.

The wind elements within a radius of thousands of meters all became violent and converged on the giant.

Seeing this, Wang Xi knew something was wrong.

The image of the character "福" (fortune/blessing) flashed rapidly in my mind, constantly serving as a warning.

'This guy is probably going to unleash his ultimate move before he dies...' Wang Xi naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the opponent build up his power. He immediately took out "Occam's Razor" and slashed it at the giant from afar.

hum-

An invisible ripple passed by silently.

The increasingly violent aura emanating from the sneezing spirit suddenly froze, and the surrounding hurricane vanished with a roar.

"Um?!"

The giant stood there, stunned.

"Where's the wind... Where's my wind...?"

His clear, yet seemingly foolish, eyes revealed a deep sense of bewilderment.

Before he could figure it out, a dazzling, pale white sword beam fell from the sky once more.

bass--

The enormous head, comparable in size to a carriage, flew high into the air and then crashed down like a meteorite among the chess pieces.

Bang! !

The giant sneezing still wore a bewildered expression on his face. His headless corpse gushed blood as it crashed to the ground, causing the earth to tremble.

Sand and gravel billowed high into the air, creating dust waves several meters high.

This caused the chess piece soldiers to cry out and retreat.

"The Wind Giant is dead!"

"what!"

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!!"

"Quickly inform Her Majesty Melania, the false king in the red dress also has giant allies!"

"Run!"

Hundreds and thousands of chess pieces, led by the knights, quickly withdrew from the plain and fled into the distance.

Wang Xi deactivated the "Titan Unit 1" and slowly descended from mid-air. The moment he touched the ground, the incandescent cloak on his back vanished.

This scene caught the eye of the Red Queen Beth, causing a glint of wonder to flash in her eyes.

This battle consumed several thousand points of energy.

Wang Xi checked his mind and found that he still had 48,000 energy reserves left, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The target has been killed!"

"Does it grant the ability to capture the 'Wind Giant'?"

'Yes. '

whoosh-

A purple ball of light emerged from the massive headless corpse, then flew straight over and entered Wang Xi's brow.

Wang Xi's lips curled up.

'At least I got a purple card, so it's not a bad deal.'

Just then, the roar of a giant dragon spreading its wings came from behind.

Wang Xi turned around and saw Cha Bo land more than ten meters away, while a tall woman in a red dress and wearing a crown jumped down from the dragon's back.

"Um?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Xi's eyes.

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he could see the Red Queen clearly, he was truly surprised.

"Red Queen Beth (Neutral/Title 1-Star/Legendary)"

The woman looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. She was exceptionally tall, standing at an astonishing two meters four and a half meters, yet her frame was remarkably well-proportioned.

The dark red velvet dress clung tightly to her body, outlining exaggerated curves—the mountains, no, they should be described as colossal peaks that seemed to tear the sky apart, reaching an astonishing level.

It even made Wang Xi suspicious...

Is that human being?
After all, such extraordinary fullness and uprightness are something that human women simply cannot compare to.

Despite her recent escape and slightly disheveled appearance, Beth's emerald eyes remained sharp as knives. Her high-bridged nose and well-defined jawline exuded authority, and her full lips were pressed into a straight line.

Beth keenly noticed the young man's furtive gaze, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She tucked a stray hair behind her ear and raised her chin, saying:

"You're Kai Farrell?"

Beth's voice was calm, even revealing a hint of indifference.

Wang Xi immediately regained his composure, stepped forward, placed his hand on his chest in a gesture of respect, and bowed his head, saying:
"Your Majesty the Red Queen, I am."

His voice was gentle yet firm, and he maintained a perfect distance when bowing—neither offensive nor overly humble.

This detail made Beth raise an eyebrow slightly.

In Poker County, most people either dared not look her in the eye or secretly stared at her unusual figure...

But this young man seemed a little different.

Even the scrutiny just now was mostly out of curiosity, without any unusual emotions.

"You saved me, what reward do you want?"

Beth asked in her usual condescending tone, but unconsciously pursed her lips after she finished speaking.

Wang Xi took in all of this.

“Chabo often mentions His Majesty to me, which fills me with curiosity and admiration for you… It is my honor to serve you today.”

He bowed slightly, his tone gentle.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xi raised his head, his gaze naturally fixed on Beth: "You are more..."

“More what?” Beth narrowed her eyes, her tone slightly cold: “More imposing? More deformed? Or completely lacking in queenly demeanor, more like… a monster?!”

Wang Xi didn't answer immediately, but instead calmly took a step forward. This gesture forced Beth to lower her head slightly—she rarely needed to look at someone like that.

"Even more dazzling, Your Majesty."

Wang Xi said softly.

"Like the giant sequoia in the forest at dawn, it doesn't need to be compared to the height of shrubs, because it is a landscape in itself."

Beth froze, her red lips slightly parted.

She had heard countless flatteries, but never one like this. What surprised her even more was that the young man's gaze remained calmly fixed on her as he spoke, without the slightest resistance or sarcasm.

"Heh." The Red Queen suddenly sneered, "I'm tired of hearing these words from you. Do you really think I can't see that you all despise me from the bottom of your hearts?"

“Your Majesty,” Wang Xi shook his head, “it seems you have never seriously examined yourself, or rather, you have been influenced by the mediocre people around you, thus neglecting your own beauty…”

“You…” Beth’s tone wavered slightly as she stared at the young man: “You really think so?”

However, the young man laughed, his dark eyes reflecting her tall figure.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wang Xi smiled.

"Stunningly beautiful."

Beth's smile faded, and she fell into a long silence.

"you……"

Beth instinctively tucked her slightly messy hair back and said calmly, "You, come here."

Wang Xi took a few more steps closer.

The closer he got, the more he felt the Red Queen's imposing stature, until he finally had to look up at her.

Even though Wang Xi is 1.8 meters tall, he still looks tiny next to Beth.

"And now?" Beth looked down at the young man in front of her, her eyes dangerous. "Do you still think I'm good-looking?"

Wang Xi felt as if mountains were pressing down on him, obscuring the sun.

A faint smile played on his lips: "If a woman can't see her toes when she lowers her head, she is already an unparalleled beauty..."

Upon hearing this, Beth was stunned again.

But this time, her heart skipped a beat, which was unusual for her.

If Bluebeard, the Sea Witch, or Chapo had said those things to her, Beth would have felt disgusted and uncomfortable.

But the mysterious young man in front of them was not only powerful, but also had a handsome appearance that could be described as perfect.

Beth had never felt this way before.

Her mind was somewhat confused.

“Gai…sir, you, um…”

The Red Queen opened her mouth, and then, as if possessed, said, "Would you like to come back to the Red Castle with me? I still have some 'Gem Tea' that I can give you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wang Xi looked up and met Beth's gaze. "It would be my pleasure."

“Ahem, Chapo, take your friend back to the castle.”

Beth subtly averted her gaze, turned around, and climbed onto the dragon's back.

In that instant of turning around, the Red Queen unconsciously straightened her back. For the first time in many years, she no longer felt inferior about her incongruous figure and height; instead, she felt an unprecedented confidence and joy in the admiring gaze of the young man.

"Red Queen Beth (Friendly/Title 1-Star/Legendary)"

Looking at the Red Queen's tall figure and the changes in the entry, Wang Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he felt a strange emotion.

First, there was the Stag Queen of the Western Continent, then the Ice Queen atop the Snow Mountain... and now she is the Heart Queen of Wonderland.

Every queen who came into contact with him developed a liking for him.

'I think I've become a friend of the Queen?'

Wang Xi raised an eyebrow.
