Yes, I did all of this!

"Pretty capable..."

Patting the cracks on his armor, Duanmu Mo coughed twice and looked at Xi Ri:

"What other surprises are you hiding? I feel like you've got more to hide than just these."

"This is enough to deal with you!"

Neville didn't use her magical girl powers, and naturally, Yuhi didn't unleash them all either. With a sullen face, she disappeared from the spot once again.

"—I told you, this technique is easy to predict, right?"

A red light flashed in Duanmu Mo's eyes, and he suddenly lunged forward, the tip of his sword piercing Xi Ri's fist and severing her arm.

"Forehead--"

Having lost another arm, Xi Ri frowned, golden flames raging around him. Just as he was regaining his body, he heard Neville let out a mocking laugh:

"--So, to gain such immense power, it really is that human's doing? It seems that to prevent you from interrupting my plans, I'll have to find an opportunity to tear him to pieces and then throw the chunks of flesh in front of your door, how about that?"

"What did you say!"

Upon hearing these words, Xi Ri's anger erupted once more. She raised her other arm, which had not yet been severed, and slammed it down on him.

Clang!

But her other arm didn't have time to recover. The opening in her right arm allowed Duanmu Mo to safely dodge to the right, and then he swung the Black Erosion Greatsword—the blade sliced ​​her in half at the waist in that instant.

"Excuse me, young lady, you'll have to come with me first."

With a kick, he sent Xi Ri flying into the sky. Then, Duanmu Mo safely disappeared into the vortex. When he reappeared, he was below Xi Ri again, kicking her several times, causing their figures to rise higher and higher.

As it ascended, the sun's body began to rapidly ignite with golden flames, and its gradually recovering fists clenched tightly.

"You've never been this high up before, have you?"

As the two flew higher and higher, and the air gradually thinned, Xi Ri unconsciously let out a labored breathing sound, while Duanmu Mo remained as agile as ever.

"Forehead!"

Xi Ri gritted his teeth, his strength suddenly erupted, and he threw a punch at Duanmu Mo, which collided with Duanmu Mo's attack.

In this thin air, two forces spread out. Duanmu Mo's expression was not visible due to his helmet, while Xi Ri's face showed a hint of ferocity.

"I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate me!"

After a brief stalemate, Xi Ri grabbed his leg and forcefully flung Duanmu Mo away.

As if to challenge him, Yuhi threw him even higher up.

Duanmu Mo's body flew backwards through the Kármán line—officially entering space. He turned lightly, stepped onto the vortex to steady himself, and gazed at the setting sun in the atmosphere.

Her mouth opened and closed, and although no sound could be heard in space, the intense consciousness she exuded struck Duanmu Mo's heart as if she were speaking:

"—I've never been this high before, but... here, I can finally unleash my full potential and get things done!"

Once Xi Ri's body had fully recovered, she breathed heavily, releasing her power as flames enveloped her entire body, the golden flames gradually unleashing a power even more ferocious than the black flames.

Even after her power increased, Yuhi hesitated to unleash her full potential. To her, everything around her was too easily destroyed, and the buildings on the ground were things she was obliged to protect and that her companions wanted to safeguard. If they were destroyed so easily, she would be quite distressed.

But now that she's high up in the sky where there's nothing, she can use her power to her heart's content.

Looking up, Xi Ri's pupils were covered by red flames, making it impossible to see her eyes. All that could be felt was that powerful aura spreading continuously.

She flapped her wings gently and approached Neville.

The closer she got to him, the more intense her breathing became. She stared intently at Neville and finally flew to the same height as him.

"Hmm..."

She gritted her teeth, clutched her chest, her body trembling slightly, and finally slowly raised her head and lowered her hand.

The tense body suddenly relaxed, as if a breakthrough had been achieved, and the breathing gradually became steady.

"Come on! Let me kill you!"

The voice echoed in her mind as she stared intently at Duanmu Mo.

"..."

—Even if I were to physically traverse the universe, I would still need a layer of armor.

Thoughts flashed through Duanmu Mo's mind. He tilted his head and swung the Black Corrosion Greatsword in his hand.

Without saying a word, he beckoned to the setting sun with his finger.

The next moment, blazing golden flames blasted toward his location, forming a fire wave that stretched for thousands of meters in space.

He distanced himself from Xi Ri, then swung his sword. The Black Corrosion Greatsword unleashed a black mist-like sword aura towards her, but Xi Ri neither dodged nor evaded, charging straight at him and withstanding the sword strike. Her body flashed, and her figure was reflected in Duanmu Mo's bright eyes.

—That indomitable and unyielding heroic spirit.

boom!

The tremor came from space. The Black Erosion Greatsword flew out of his hand and stuck into a distant satellite. Duanmu Mo was sent flying backward, his body enduring the furious barrage of blows from Xi Ri.

Feeling the pain in his body, Duanmu Mo clenched his fist and quickly retaliated, but just as he was about to do so, a flash of fire passed by Xi Ri's elbow. Then, her next attack came down with even faster and more ferocious force, knocking him back once again.

—What Yuhi learned was not only how to use explosions to accelerate, but also how to compress the range of the explosion, shifting the target from the entire body to an arm, and from a circle to a point, making her attacks more concentrated and increasing their lethality many times over.

Each punch deformed Duanmu Mo's armor, and each punch allowed the explosive energy to flood Neville's body, destroying his physical form.

If things continue like this, there will only be one outcome for him: death.

"Amazing progress! Your power is increasing with your anger!"

Duanmu Mo barely managed to defend and parry, the red light from his helmet gazing intently at Xi Ri's every move.

—Almost there, almost there.

Xi Ri clenched his fist and slammed it into Duanmu Mo's chest. With a thrust of his shoulder, a large amount of explosive energy was injected into Duanmu Mo's chest, detonating directly at his heart.

. . . . . .

boom!

The sound of missile explosions spread, and the three magical girls, panting on the ground, looked at the robot in front of them and the endless missiles, feeling incredibly troubled.

Neither side can do anything to the other for the time being, but the bad news is that the magical girls sense something being gestated from the nest of tentacles, and soon the outcome will be uncertain.

"..."

Huang Yi, lost in thought, subconsciously glanced at Cang Yi beside him: "Cang Yi, you..."

"I won't intervene; it's your choice," Cangyi said calmly.

"......I see."

Huangyi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "--Ling, Yin and I will cover for you, you go and hack this motorcycle robot!"

"I understand... Please don't force yourself."

Upon hearing this, Fengling paused for a moment, then nodded and immediately distanced herself from the robot.

She floated in the air with her arms outstretched, and ten floating cannons around her strung together to form a metal wheel behind her. The cannons opened their muzzles, but instead of emitting dangerous beams of light, they emitted a faint glow, as if sensing something.

Two magical girls immediately stood in front of her. Facing the robot's approach, Huangyi raised her katana and slashed at it.

However, her thin blade seemed far too fragile in the face of its massive, serrated greatsword.

A large number of missiles were launched. Lingyin raised her hand behind Huangyi, and a strong wind blew up, blowing the missiles away and scattering them to both sides.

when!

The blade struck the robot's hard shell, and Huangyi gritted his teeth and continued the pursuit.

Rustling...

The robot's crimson eyes stared at the girl before it, and as it turned its head slightly, Huangyi was certain that its gaze was fixed on Fengling.

Immediately afterwards, the robot distanced itself from her, went to the tentacle nest, stepped on one of the tentacles, and unleashed a dense barrage of missiles at them.

In an instant, missiles blotted out the sky, as if they had covered the entire heavens.

Seeing this, Lingyin opened her hands and released a huge tornado that deflected the missiles.

The missiles collided with each other, exploding in dazzling flashes of light in the sky before they even hit them.

The attack by the missiles was effective, but the explosions between the missiles also created enormous wind pressure, which destroyed the tornado.

—Following closely behind in that fiery light was a second wave of missiles that seemed to rain down almost without pause.

"Drink-"

Huangyi suddenly took a step forward, and swung his katana, which was wrapped in purple electric arcs, toward the sky, releasing a large amount of electricity.

The electric current spreads, affecting the missiles and triggering their explosion.

boom!

But when the next wave of missiles came at them, Huangyi's face turned ashen.

"There's no way to stop it, unless you interrupt the robot's actions..."

As the missile approached him, Huangyi gritted his teeth, and the surrounding arcs of electricity slowed down time.

Using lightning might short-circuit it for a moment, but it uses negative emotions as its energy source, and it might even absorb lightning... We've already tried that. Using a blade won't work either; its shell is too hard.

—Isn't there anything useful, some abilities that can't be countered by this robot...?

If electricity doesn't work, what about using magnetism?

A thought flashed through Huang Yi's mind, as if a flash of inspiration had appeared, and time around him instantly resumed its flow.

Chapter 388: Budget Completed

"..."

She had no relevant experience, and all she had was the method of controlling lightning, so she wasn't sure if this method would work, even though she had learned about the concept of electricity generating magnetism in elementary school.

But now, there was no time to hesitate. Huangyi raised her hand, and a large amount of lightning spread from it as thoughts flashed through her mind.

At first, it was just a vague feeling, but gradually, she began to feel the connection between herself and the surrounding magnetic field. She even had a feeling that as long as she extended her power to touch it, she could modify these magnetic forces.

This is not easy to do; the difficulty lies in mastering the power. But for Huangyi now, doing this is a natural progression.

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she suddenly waved her hand.

Lightning spread across his palm, and in the next moment, a large number of missiles were deflected and redirected towards the motorcycle robot.
