A chat group where you switch bodies with Alicia at the start?

Although this is very impolite, but...

It's her body, after all!

Although she couldn't understand Jiang Qiao's transformation and what exactly the meaning of calling herself a ray was, it really made her a little overheated.

But how can Jiang Qiao stop Cocolia's plot?

Let alone ten seconds, based on Alicia's understanding of her own body, not to mention that she has no way to stop those programs, even if she could, given the dozen or so Honkai energy reactors that Cocolia has distributed throughout Changkong City, even if you could walk over and stop one on the spot, it would take at least an hour just to get there.

Moreover, they had to eliminate those Honkai reactors within ten seconds and save Changkong City from Cocolia's conspiracy.

Alicia understands Jiang Qiao's desire to show off in front of girls.

But now is clearly not the time to do this kind of thing, is it?

She really wanted to persuade Jiang Qiao to leave quickly. If she could survive afterward and her body was swapped back, she could keep smiling and watching the other person show off, even for a day or a week.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the opportunity to do so.

Because the countdown on the central control room screen had entered its ten-second countdown, coinciding with Jiang Qiao's words.

Nine seconds.

Amid Kiana, Mei, and Alicia's uneasy expressions, the pink-clad girl who had uttered those arrogant words raised her hand.

Eight seconds.

Amidst their astonished gazes, Jiang Qiaoshou conjured up an incredibly beautiful bow and arrow made of crystal.

If the bow had a name, he would probably give it the title of "Realm of True Self: Flawless Return".

Seven seconds.

The crystal bow has completely transformed from a theoretical concept to a practical reality.

But looking at the crystal bow in Jiang Qiao's hand, Kiana and Mei both thought it was really beautiful, but could such a fragile and beautiful thing as crystal really be used as a bow and arrow?

Of course, the more crucial question is how he managed to create such a crystal bow out of thin air.

Alicia was completely dumbfounded by this.

She possesses extremely sophisticated Honkai energy skills and also has the ability to create things, but her current limit is only to create crystal arrows, which are the ammunition for the pink electromagnetic catapult bow customized from the Firemoth Weapon Research Department.

As for making bows, she had considered it before.

But there is no doubt that this was a failure.

Even if Honkai energy is used to enhance strength, bows and arrows are completely different concepts.

The force that a bow has to withstand is a thousand or even a hundred times greater than that of an arrow.

Unless that bow wasn't even meant for shooting!

Very unfortunate.

Jiang Qiao is capable of doing such a thing.

As an awakened Herrscher of Origin, his Honkai energy application skills, along with those taught to him by Alicia from the beginning, jumped to a level that far surpassed Alicia's at the moment of awakening.

Whether it's giving the bow enough strength to withstand any arrow, or using the bow as a "staff" to fire arrows, it's all easy for her, as the Origin.

Six seconds.

In Alicia's eyes, Jiang Qiao held the bow horizontally with an extremely amateurish posture, which made her, who was deeply influenced by the martial arts school in Shenzhou, suppress her desire to correct him. At the fifth second, she spent a full second fiddling with the hair by her ear.

He spent a full second fiddling with his hair?!

Although she already thought Jiang Qiao was just showing off, Alicia couldn't help but scream in her heart in an extremely unladylike way when she saw this scene.

This feeling of maintaining elegance even when facing imminent danger—it's so familiar!

—It does feel familiar, because Alicia herself fights in this way.

Jiang Qiao went even further than her, managing to squeeze out a second to maintain [Alicia's] habit with less than ten seconds left.

Five seconds.

Jiang Qiao placed her slender index finger on the bowstring, and a gust of wind blew her hair from somewhere... Wait, where did this wind come from? Isn't this underground?

Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the ray next to it was flapping its wings vigorously, clearly working very hard to create the wind.

This scene nearly made Alicia and the other two faint on the spot.

No, you summoned this Honkai Beast just so it could fan you?

Four seconds.

Amidst the tense breathing of Alicia and the other two, Jiang Qiao slowly drew back the bowstring.

This process was extremely long, as if it were not a bowstring being drawn, but a century.

Three seconds later, the arrow slowly moved upwards.

This move left the three of them dumbfounded once again.

They also glanced up.

It's the ceiling!

Based on the specifications of the underground base, this underground base is at least several tens of meters deep from the ME Corporation building above.

Above that is the ME Corporation building, which is over 100 meters tall.

Not to mention that the base itself has various defensive layers such as shockproof.

If Cocolia were still there, she'd probably start laughing right away if she saw this.

No, you can't just shoot through the ceiling, can you?

Let alone such a tiny arrow.

Even if you were to drop a Honkai energy fission bomb on me, it wouldn't do any good! Not to mention it's going upwards! Don't you even understand gravity?

two seconds.

The bowstring was pulled to its maximum, and a smile appeared on the girl's lips.

In the last 0.5 seconds before the countdown ended.

He loosened his index finger from the bowstring.

At that moment, the arrow, once released from the bow, moved like a wild horse unleashed—

Head straight up!

The moment the arrow was fired, the large Honkai energy reactor, which was originally filled with an ominous purple light, was instantly extinguished!

Under the stunned gazes of Alicia and the other two.

The pink arrows completely ignored the soil and protective layers.

From a perspective unseen by them, it swiftly traversed the entire underground base and the entire ME Corporation building before soaring into the sky.

Immediately afterward, the arrow exploded upon reaching its designated location.

Through the thick layer of soil, the arrow that had just left the bow was reflected in Jiang Qiao's divine pink eyes.

—The power of origin begins to operate at this moment.

The city of Changkong at night is as if it has been lit up.

Passersby on the roadside stopped and marveled at the scene.

Even more children, holding adults' hands, innocently shouted:

"Mom, a shooting star!"

As the light curtain rapidly enveloped everything, all the large and small Honkai energy reactors placed in various locations throughout Changkong City went out with a whoosh just before they were about to explode, leaving them dim and without light.

Having done all this, Jiang Qiao slowly lowered the bow and arrow in her hand.

The crystal turned into starlight and disappeared, and the clothes he wore, belonging to the Herrscher of Origin, also returned to normal.

The one who started this change, the pink-clad girl, winked mischievously, and her words, tinged with amusement, rang in the ears of the three:

"See? I told you ten seconds was enough, didn't I?"

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Isn't this incredibly shameful?

Five seconds isn't even enough time for a father to save his daughter.

But ten seconds is enough to save an entire city.

In just ten seconds, Jiang Qiao's performance shocked Alicia and the other two as if they had participated in an episode of The Brain.

At this moment, all three of them were completely bewildered.
