Knight: A freak start, seizing the power of the king.

He absolutely could not accept this outcome, and immediately fastened a large cassette tape to his waist.

"Transform!"

"MazaruUp!"

"Red fist, immense power! Blue accents, a chain reaction!!"

"Red and blue intertwined~"

"Perfect KnockOut!"

As two game panels emerged from the center of the belt and overlapped, they enveloped Palad.

A set of red and blue armor immediately appeared on his body.

The moment the transformation was complete, the game world unfolded, and game items resembling coins scattered around.

"That's more like it!" Qi Ling smiled as well.

Having traveled through time for so long, the only truly powerful opponents I've ever fought are the Ancient King and E-bo.

However, E-class was in extremely poor condition. Even when transformed into Cobra Striker, his strength was less than one-fifth of what it used to be.

The ancient king, too, used underhanded tactics to achieve victory.

To this day, he has never actually fought against any strong opponent.

This made him very curious about just how strong he had become.

Let's use you as the test subject.

Qi Ling slipped the three coins into his waistband one after another.

"Taka! Tora! Batta! (Eagle! Tiger! Locust!)"

"TaToBa, TaToBa, TaToBa! (Big mop, big mop, big mop!)"

The King's Alliance, Transformation.

A real mop-like armor then covers the body.

Parad is one of the strongest members of Ex-Aid, so the King's Combo is the best choice if you want to win easily.

"My world, my eternal dream, I will protect it!"

With a roar, Palad set off immediately.

In a swift movement, he rapidly approached Qi Ling, a red and blue battle axe appearing in his hand.

He slashed down with no effort whatsoever.

"That's fast." Qi Ling's eyes gleamed slightly.

Activating the Eagle Core Coin's ability grants Qi Ling enhanced vision, allowing him to see every move his opponent makes.

"Let me try."

As Qi Ling spoke, he slammed his fist into the ground, and when he pulled it out, he had a purple battle axe in his hand.

It clashed head-on with Parad's battle axe.

boom!

An immense force erupted between the two, causing the entire warehouse to tremble.

If left any longer, it might become a dangerous building.

"Such powerful strength." Parad was somewhat surprised. He felt as if he had not cut down a person, but an iron mountain.

His armor is Lv.99, the highest level.

Among all the Honkai Origin Corps executives, he is arguably the highest-ranking and strongest in combat.

But now, in the clash of strength, he feels himself retreating little by little.

In his own world, there were very few people who could rival his strength, let alone suppress him.

at the same time.

The entrance to the warehouse.

"Is this what battles between the strong are like?"

The three warriors were hiding by the door watching the battle.

Although we were far apart, the overwhelming energy fluctuations were clearly felt.

too frightening.

The two, Rabbit and Dragon, were especially terrified.

They now knew just how much force Qi Ling had used when they fought in the past.

If the other party had taken it seriously, I probably would have been turned into a pile of minced meat by now.

……

Inside the warehouse.

“Troublesome fellow.” Parad raised his hand and beckoned.

The scattered game items immediately floated above his head, and he selected one of them and absorbed it into his body.

This is one of his special abilities: absolute control over items in the game world.

[Muscle formation]

The power of the game item was activated, and the arm gripping the battle axe instantly swelled up a lot, doubling its strength.

“Since that’s the case…” Qi Ling didn’t mince words.

While maintaining the attack stance, insert a Cell Coin into the Holy Symbol Bite Dragon.

An energetic glow immediately shimmered on the axe blade.

Purple light swirled around.

The power expanded instantly.

boom!

The flames of the explosion erupted in front of Qi Ling.

The terrifying explosive force sent Palad flying.

Asking for flowers

"what's the situation?"

Palad was dumbfounded when he got up from the ground.

With just one strike, large cracks appeared on the armor covering his body.

"Damn it, this can't go on."

Based on this level of damage, if I were to take even two more hits, I would definitely die.

We must go all out.

They're gambling everything on the next move.

"Come!"

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding game props flew up again.

[Muscularization] [Steelification] [Doppelganger]

The three items merged into the body.

The item took effect, and Parad became four, their muscles bulging, each body gleaming with a metallic sheen.

Pull out the cartridge and insert it into the weapon.

"Kimewaza~ (Final Move~)"

"Knock Out Critical Finish! (A powerful, critical strike to finish!!)"

All of Palad's clones rushed towards Qi Ling, raising their axes and hacking away.

The surrounding air appeared somewhat distorted as a result.

"Well come."

In response, Qi Ling activated the insect-based linkage within his body, causing his body to split into four.

Each clone held three coins in its hand.

Like inserting it into the waistband, replacing the combo.

"Kuwagata! Kamakiri! Batta! (Stag beetle! Mantis! Locust!)"

"Shachi! Unagi! Tako (Orca! Electric Eel! Octopus!)"

"Ptera! Triceratops! Tyrannosaurus Rex! (Pterosaur! Triceratops! Tyrannosaurus Rex!)"

Remove the O scan ring, skipping the driver.

“GaTaGaTaGaTakiriba~ (Shovel shovel shovel mantis locust~)”
