I already said this is not a life simulator!

Using "blood" to prove herself seemed like a good choice, but wouldn't that make her mistakenly believe that "Hai Si" could already simulate the color of human blood, and would not always keep the azure "blood"?

...No, forget it. It doesn't seem to have any effect except deepening the misunderstanding.

"........."

Kosmo remained silent, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​proving himself to Desdobia in his heart... He more or less understood Xiwang's feelings at the time. Once the premise of suspicion was confirmed by others, all subsequent self-proof would be difficult to carry out, and it seemed to be of no use except deepening the suspicion.

Although the premise of this suspicion was deliberately guided by Xi Wang, but... Tsk, this feeling is indeed too bad.

Kosmo pursed his lips silently, suppressed all the unnecessary thoughts in his mind, narrowed his eyes slightly, and put his attention back on the things at hand.

On the other side, Desdobia seemed to have finished her thoughts as well. All the conflicts and entanglements in her heart were suppressed one by one... She looked at Kosmo deeply again, imprinting his appearance deeply in her mind.

Inexplicable pressure came from all around, like the stabbing pain of a sword and the knocking sensation of a hammer, and sometimes it turned into a heavy and terrifying pressure like a hydraulic press... It seems that she has made up her mind.

"........."

That's fine too.

Kosmo felt all of this silently, and finally... he sighed as if he was sighing, and as if he was relaxed, and then... the azure water began to flow. Ignoring the sudden increase in pressure around him, he took a step forward, stepped on the water, and his figure disappeared in an instant.

After connecting with "thoughts" and acknowledging one's own attitude, the benefit is this... What Xiwang can do, they can also do. Although the effect may still not be comparable to Xiwang himself, they can also exert similar power.

Now that you have made up your mind, just stick to it, Dobia.

Kosmo, who was carried by the water, thought so and looked at Desdobia, who was a little surprised by his sudden attack in the air, but still calmly kept the distance and height and immediately launched a counterattack. Kosmo encouraged the girl in his heart.

Even if the final [result] will not change, but before that, you, you all, and even everything we hold on to, will not disappear, and the same goes for what we have experienced and witnessed...

"........."

Kosmo was silent, and as always, he didn't know how to speak or express himself. He just silently endured the attacks from Desdobia, and interspersed some counterattacks against her in the middle, trying to end the confrontation with her in a relatively "gentle" way.

Otherwise... once Xiwang and Mebius' attention is drawn to us, it might not be easy to resolve.

……

"you again……"

After defeating and burning the rest of the "drawn" enemies, Hua looked at the last enemy and said with a gloomy expression.

She knew that the person in front of her was definitely not "drawn".

"Yeah, that's right, it's me again."

Himiko spoke slowly and leisurely, leaning against her [compatriot] and speaking leisurely.

"Honestly, I'm tired of this repetition. Sometimes I really want you to just go with me, and then everything will be fine."

She gently shook the wine glass in her hand... She didn't know if it was an illusion, but President Hua felt that the wine glass in her hand was much more gorgeous than before and looked very beautiful.

"But after thinking about it carefully... forget it. Seeing you struggling and fighting, you are still quite cute and lovable. It makes people feel pity for you. It makes people sigh... You are really strong. No wonder you carried out that kind of mission later, and you carried it out well."

As if she had thought of something, Himiko laughed, took a sip of the wine in the glass, and at the same time flicked her fingers. A stream of azure water shot out like a whip, and with a fierce lash, it dispersed all the oncoming flames.

"Can I say you have a bad taste?"

Hua said expressionlessly.

"Of course. Rather, I am glad to see you using such words."

Himiko still smiled, put down the wine glass in her hand, handed it to her [compatriot], asked it to help put it away, and then patted it, as if rewarding a well-behaved pet. It also obediently put away the wine glass, moved its limbs little by little, and gradually left.

"Sure enough, you have grown a lot, Hua..."

"It's just that from what I see now, you seem to have grown a little crooked... But that's true, who made him do this?"

"Also... I don't know if you will be dumbfounded when you join us. After all, your "experience" is much richer than others."

Himiko moved her wrist, and the water around her kept flowing rhythmically, dispersing all the flames that Hua had shot out from a distance... Compared to the "newcomer" Kosmo, Himiko's control over the water flow was becoming more and more proficient.

After all, he is a veteran from the “first batch”, isn’t he?

"nonsense."

Hua snorted coldly, and the look in his eyes when he looked at her became increasingly gloomy.

"Yes, yes, I know you will firmly tell us that you will not join us and will not become our [compatriot]. And you will also complain that I am using this skin to face you again, which makes you feel disgusted and annoyed... This kind of thing is obvious, isn't it?"

Himiko sighed, held her forehead with her hand as if she was somewhat helpless, and spoke casually.

"Ah... all this mess can be remembered... huh? Oh?"

However, just when Himiko wanted to continue speaking, she subconsciously raised her eyebrows and took a step back.

Then, the fist mixed with red flames brushed past her face, and the burning sparks almost ignited her red hair, which was the same color as fire.

She immediately pressed her hand down again, barely blocking the fist that was heading for her abdomen... But even so, the huge force still pushed Himiko's hand to her abdomen, and then knocked her whole body away, with flames spreading in the middle, covering her body in an instant.

It’s not over yet!

He slid forward and attacked Himiko with constantly changing rhythms. While suppressing her, the flames on Himiko's body became more and more dazzling, and Himiko's figure was completely enveloped in flames and distorted by the high temperature.

Until the very end, the entire "painting" seemed to be melted by the flames, and all the colors were about to be burned by the flames, and then it ended with a kick, knocking her far away, leaving sparks all over the ground.

"call……"

Hua quickly adjusted her breath and took a vigilant stance... It was not that she didn't want to continue chasing, she also wanted to keep suppressing him until she was sure that he was killed.

But... it was very strange. The flames had clearly enveloped it, and the high temperature had clearly dried up and burned everything around it, so that the "painting" around it seemed that it could no longer be maintained, but she... still seemed to be fine, at least that was how Hua perceived it.

This is so strange, shouldn't they be afraid of fire? Shouldn't it be their "weakness"?

Then why... even after it has come to this, there is still no effect?

"Interesting... You're much stronger than before, Hua."

Himiko's voice came from the flames... Although her voice seemed somewhat distorted and distorted under the influence of the raging fire, Hua could still hear that her voice was obviously full of energy, as if she was not affected at all, or even not hurt at all!

No... that's not right. Hua is sure that the blow he inflicted was effective, but why...

"Hmm... Do you feel weird? I can sense the increasingly alert aura coming from you... Oh, really, why is Dr. Mebius always researching in the wrong direction? This feeling of receiving pheromones is quite strange."

What...does that mean? - Hua didn't quite understand what she was saying, but could only be as alert as possible to prepare for what was to come.

Hua has already realized that what's coming next... will probably be a tough battle.

"Ah... I'm sorry, I said something that you found difficult to understand again."

She was actually apologizing…Although there was a clear hint of teasing in her tone, she still said it.

"But there's nothing we can do. We have different perspectives from you, and the information we know is also different. It's only natural that this situation would occur..."

tick-

It started raining in the sky.

In this "painting" world, it started to rain!

Water began to accumulate on the ground, it was azure blue and very beautiful.

"But it doesn't matter. When you, the rest of you, join us... you will understand what we are talking about."

The azure water began to flow, gradually extinguishing the flames on her body.

"Although I really wanted to tell you in advance, after all, it's boring to keep asking you riddles."

The flames faded, revealing her figure.

The flames did leave scars on her body, but... not many. Even the burn marks were healing quickly. Almost in the blink of an eye, all the scars on her body were restored to their original state...

Even the clothes on her body returned to their original state, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion and Hua's attack on her did not exist.

"But... he is the boss now. It seems not a bad idea to follow his ideas."

She smiled and said it very easily.

"Hmm...it seems like you're quite confused. This wary expression...is not unexpected."

Himiko looked at Hua carefully and then continued.

"After all... suddenly discovering that his own power seems to be unable to harm us... is really too terrifying, right?"

"........."

Hua did not answer.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about the extra things later. After all, you won't be here to listen to my nagging, right?"

Himiko straightened her long fiery red hair with a strand of white highlights, bringing out the azure water droplets that were suspended in the air, and spoke softly.

"But out of courtesy, I still have to remind you to be fully alert and use your full strength to deal with the upcoming battle, okay?"

Himiko reminded with a smile.

"After all... you are not just facing me, but... [us]."

"We can also use what he has... Haha, should we say he is really generous and selfless?"

As she said this, Himiko casually snapped her fingers... the azure water began to flow again, gathering into the shape of a sword in her hand.

"So... you better be careful, Hua, otherwise... you will fail."

"You were defeated by a monster like me who pretends to be your savior."

"........."

Hua remained silent, not angered by her words, but his eyes became more fierce...

"very good."

Himiko praised generously.

"Well then... let's start a new [round]!"

Holding the greatsword made of water in his hand, he made a sweeping strike from bottom to top, bringing up a huge crescent-shaped water blade from the accumulated water on the ground and rushing towards Hua rapidly.

【Jumping the Waves】!

……

…………

“Haha…hahahaha!!! It’s finally here!”

Compared to the silent battlefield on Kosmo's side and the repeated encounters on Himiko's side, which were somewhat interesting and full of evilness, Qianjie's side was much more lively.

However, Qianjie’s location was not in Grayshu’s “painting”, but somewhere in reality... He had been waiting here for a long time, and that person did not disappoint him and appeared after a while.

"I knew it! There's no way you can be trapped by something like that!"

Qianjie looked at the figure not far away, feeling the familiar cold and heat that was more intense than ever before, and laughed a little crazily.

"Come on! Kevin! I've been looking forward to this battle for a long time, don't let me down!"

Wow!

The sound of waves came in an instant, and Qianjie's figure blurred for a moment and then became clear. In a trance, he attacked Kevin who had just escaped from the "painting" trapped in himself.

Azure water flowed around him, and the water followed his figure closely... He swung his fist, and a column of water flowed towards Kevin's face.

boom!

A dull sound was heard instantly, and the huge force was blocked but also overflowed to the surroundings, bouncing away the drizzle falling from the sky and causing the accumulated water on the ground to spread out, creating waves.

The water that was wrapped around his body turned into spikes and sharp blades and attacked Kevin, but was frozen into ice in an instant. The water that followed was also cut and evaporated by the red flaming sword.

Qianjie's three consecutive attacks as the "opening" were resolved by Kevin in this way.

"...Thousands of tribulations?"

Kevin spoke with some doubt... He knew clearly that the existence in front of him was most likely a simulation of "Hai Si", and he knew clearly that the person in front of him was most likely "fake", but he still subconsciously called out the other person's name.

"Oh, yes, it's me."

Qianjie didn't care as much as the others about this. He just admitted it with a grin.

"What? Are you...surprised?!"

While responding in a low voice, he raised his leg, stirring up the accumulated water on the ground. The azure water surged and formed a water blade to force Kevin back. Qianjie also rolled over and adjusted his posture. At the same time, he exerted all his strength to shatter the ice that had just spread because of Kevin and wrapped around his entire arm.

"...No, you are not him."

On the other side, after Kevin broke up the water blade, he stood firm again. After a moment of silence, Kevin murmured this.

"Hahahaha!!! You guys are always like this! The truth is right before your eyes, but you don't even have the courage to admit it!"
