I already said this is not a life simulator!

"Just for this?!"

"Oh yeah, just for this, what's the matter?"

Qianjie responded somewhat perfunctorily, as if he didn't want to continue the topic.

After all, even if he gave the answer, no one else would believe it... because the answer was so different from who he was.

Especially after being forced to access his "thoughts", his thoughts were sensed by other people, and Qianjie was severely "ridiculed". The consolation that followed made Qianjie feel ashamed and annoyed... He didn't know how to respond to these concerns, and he couldn't do anything to those who really cared about him. In the end, he could only sulk there alone.

Qianjie was very reluctant to give that answer, as that would only make him suffer from "ridicule" once again and be teased by everyone again, and he didn't want to happen again.

So... let Kosmo think so.

"You...you traitor..."

"Haha, [traitor]? That's hilarious. I'm different from you, right? It's not like you didn't realize it at the beginning, it's just that no one told you."

Qianjie sneered and did not continue to argue with Kosmo on this topic. He just stroked his hair slightly, and a hint of inexplicable power arose around him, which made Kosmo feel uneasy.

"Ah... By the way, you are really too naive, too naive."

"You used the power you got from him and from us to fight me and kill me... You even enjoyed the power and the gift brought by this disgusting rain. You enjoyed all of this, but you tried to use this power to defeat me?"

“Hahahaha! That’s so funny!!!”

Qianjie's laughter was full of sarcasm.

"Water! Look carefully at everything around you. The most abundant thing here is water! Rainwater, stagnant water, seawater... everything around is water! Since these are your powers, they are also mine!"

"You can recover quickly in this environment, what about me? I can do it too!"

"And you, you want to use such power to defeat me?!"

“It’s so ridiculous!!!”

"Ah... Although I hate that guy who has been wearing leather all the time and is now wet and looks disgusting, he really said something good. Sometimes you can be really stupid."

Qianjie stroked his mask, and vaguely, Kosmo seemed to see him smiling.

"Let me show you a little bit, what should be done to defeat us!!!"

crackling——

There was a slight sound, as if some kind of fire was lit.

What came immediately was the heat that dispelled the dampness and cold, the red that dispelled the blue, and the fire that pushed back the tide.

"........."

“Hahahaha!!! Are you scared already? Boy, you are not good enough! Not even close!!!”

Amid the raging flames, Qianjie's laughter was still as wild as ever, and against the backdrop of the flames, his words added a sense of oppression, which for a time made it difficult for Kosmo to breathe, and even his thinking came to a brief stagnation.

He...can't quite understand the current situation.

If Qianjie was still the same Qianjie as before, then why could he use the power of fire? You have to know that even though Qianjie's physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, and even clearly stepped into the realm of inhumanity, it was only limited to physical fitness... At least Kosmo had never seen Qianjie use the power of fire before.

If Qianjie is not the previous Qianjie, but a "Kai Si" who replaced him... that would be even more strange. As a special Honkai beast born from the sea, "Kai Si" naturally hates and rejects fire, and only fire can kill it efficiently...

But...then why...

"Why... can you control... fire?"

Kosmo muttered in a daze.

If Qianjie controls the power of fire, why doesn't he fight against the "Herrser"?

If Haisi controls fire, why should he be afraid of it?

"Feeling weird? Why? What are you facing? It's Kaiji! It's Honkai! It's an incomprehensible existence! So, why are you weird? !"

"Does the fire alone make you so confused? Or... do you feel fear? Interesting... Hahahaha! Really interesting!"

Qianjie took a stance, and flames began to gather, like a strange stream of water, slowly wrapping around his arms and staying between his fists.

"It's normal to feel confused and unable to understand! Because this is the Honkai Impact!"

"So... come on and try it! Try to defeat me! Use your water flow! Hahahaha!"

"Only in this way... and only in this way! Can you have the opportunity to tell your own identity as a human being!"

"Or do you want to give in?"

I seemed to be able to visualise Qianjie's mocking expression before my eyes.

"...No, I would never do that."

"very good!"

The next moment after Kosmo responded, Qianjie followed up with his words, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"Then... let's continue, let's fight, let's kill! Enjoy it all!!!"

Huhu——

It is the sound of burning flames.

It is the sound of roaring flames.

In a flash, the red flames enveloped Kosmo's vision, and Qianjie's figure wrapped in flames suddenly appeared in front of him.

Dryness and heat instantly swept through Kosmo's perception. The original damp and cold comfort suddenly receded, and the sense of control over the water flow also disappeared in an instant. What remained was only a slight repulsion to the flames...

only……

sand--

It's like the sound of a paintbrush gently moving across the canvas, softly and slowly, followed by a myriad of colors.

The sky is outlined, depicting a deep blue. The clouds are white and soft like cotton candy, yet also sticky and sandy, like the beach at the sea, making one wonder if there are crabs or shells hiding in them.

The surrounding flames seemed to be extracted into a crimson color, depicted as the sun in the sky. The raindrops falling from the sky were stained and were no longer transparent, but azure blue like the stream flowing around them.

The scenery around me has also changed. The grass on the ground is green and looks particularly fresh, and the scent it emits has a lemon fragrance... just like red and green become yellow.

Everything around became strange, like a painting drawn by someone.

"What do you mean little bitch?!"

Qianjie, who was not far away, turned his head and looked not far away, questioning in an irritable tone.

"Brother Xiwang said... it's not good for you to use that power to fight your compatriots..."

Grayshu's timid voice came from the side... She was still not used to contact with Qianjie.

“Even if we want to use that power, no one else can know about it… Otherwise, everyone will lose motivation… That’s what Brother Xiwang said… Uncle Qianjie.”

At the end, Grayshu hesitated for a while before muttering out the name she addressed Qianjie.

"...Humph, boring!"

Qianjie stared at Grayshu for a long while, then glanced at Kosmo, who was completely stunned and had completely shut down. He snorted lightly, stood up again, and seemed to have no intention of continuing... Humph, seeing the state of Kosmo, there was no point in continuing to fight.

"It's you, kid."

Qianjie set his sights on Grayshu.

"I didn't expect you to adapt so quickly... Oh yeah, I almost forgot that you established a connection with him during the "first time". If you really count, the current us are all based on your situation... Hehe, in a sense, you are older than the rest of us in this regard."

"Then... Qianjie... brother?"

"You're taking advantage of me, aren't you?!"

Qianjie first cursed in a low voice, but made sure not to use any obscene words when speaking. Then he looked Grayshu up and down, and his belligerent eyes penetrated the mask and fell on Grayshu, or rather, on the brush in Grayshu's hand and the feather-like headdress on her head.

"Humph, that guy really favors you... After all, you were one of the few people willing to stay by his side at that time... So, do you want to give it a try?"

The corners of Qianjie's mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a hideous smile that no one could see, and his gaze remained on the paintbrush in Grayshu's hand, without moving away.

"Try with me. You can definitely do it now, right?"

After all, everything around them was "painted" by Grayshu, and at this moment, they were all in Grayshu's "painting".

And...she used the brush in her hand to "paint" everything with just "one stroke".

Such scenery, such magnificence, everything is so real...even the thousands of colors that make up all of this are just a stroke.

"don't want……"

Grayshu shook her head slightly and refused with a slightly frightened tone.

"This power is not for fighting, and..."

Grayshu hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Uncle Qianjie...I won't be able to defeat him..."

"How dare you say that?!"

Now, Qianjie became even more excited, and he wanted to start fighting right away.

"what you up to?!"

Kosmo on the side also subconsciously stood in front of Gresh... Although he was somewhat aware of something, he still didn't want Gresh to get hurt...

However, it seems that Grayshu does not need Kosmo's protection now... She took the paintbrush in her hand and lightly "painted" a stroke to the side.

The brilliant colors flowed as quickly as water, outlining a figure...it was Xi Wang's appearance.

A threatening atmosphere instantly enveloped the entire place.

Then there was another stroke, and Skadi's figure appeared immediately afterwards.

Next came Mobius, then Hen, Himiko, and even Kosmo and Qianjie himself, whose appearances were all "drawn" by Grayshure one by one.

"…………"x2

Qianjie and Kosmo watched as Grayshu "draw" various threatening characters one after another, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.

"Well……"

Grayshut tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then "painted" a stroke next to herself, depicting a fantasy-colored heavily armored knight, who seemed to be used to protect herself.

After that, Grace took the paintbrush and gently "painted" to the side... Then all the people she had "painted" before turned into two.

With another light "draw", it became four.

Moreover, the aura displayed by each of the "painted" people was not weak. At least in Qianjie's perception, the "Qianjie" that was depicted was only a little weaker than himself...

Tsk, I'm sweating all over, brothers and sisters...

“Uncle Qianjie…you can play with these…”

Grayshu stepped back slightly, entering the protection of the knight behind her, then blinked her calm and innocent eyes, and spoke in her usual timid voice.

"Furthermore, fighting in the [painting] won't cause any damage to the outside world... You can do whatever you want."

"Brother Xiwang said that the power of [Hui Ran] can allow you to enjoy it... and it can also prevent you from always looking for [fellow countrymen] to fight..."

Grayshu gestured to the two of them with the paintbrush in her hand... That was the [Echo/Authority] that Xiwang had given her, and even built specifically for her.

[New Echo/Authority——Hui Ran]

【A thousand colors, just one stroke】

"That……"

Gray asked softly.

"Uncle Qianjie, do you want to play with everyone?"

Chapter 4998: Give [Echo/Authority - Exploration] ()

“…Hehe…hahaha…hahahahaha!!! You really dare to say that, little brat!!!”

After a brief silence, Qianjie covered his face and laughed wildly, his laughter filled with excitement and insolence.

"Good...good! Very good! That guy! At least he didn't break his promise! Even though it's not him, but if that's the case...it would satisfy me!"

"Come on... Come on! Little devil! Free them! If they are just the shells you drew, I will tear them to pieces! Together with this painting of yours... burn them to ashes!!!"

Huhu——

There was a slight sound of flames burning, and red flames ignited from his body. The bright light of the flames gushed out from the gaps in his mask, igniting everything around him. The azure sky was also forced to be covered with a layer of warm tones belonging to the flames... and it became deeper and hotter, finally turning into a dazzling red.

Just as the white clouds were melted bit by bit like real marshmallows, the sun in the sky seemed to fade away and blend into the surrounding sky... At the same time, the people "portrayed" by Grayshu seemed to sense all this, and they moved and attacked Qianjie.
