Playful! Collapse!

If it weren't for the Soul Steel Body, I don't think I would have been able to get out of bed for several days.

Volume 1: Chapter 84: A Bad Move

Jiuyou area. Inside Chiyou's body

Inside Chi You's body, Xing Maer, who had just been taken into Chi You's belly after he had awakened, shook his head which had been aching slightly, and looked around with an extremely cruel look.

From the very beginning, she felt that something was wrong with her.

Although bringing the Xuanyuan Sword back was one of the tasks Cocolia gave them, at that time...

Tsk, although I don’t know the reason, there is definitely something wrong with this sword!

Looking at the golden sword in her hand, Xing's eyes revealed an emotion called disgust.

However, when she was about to abandon the weapon, Xing suddenly became hesitant again.

It’s not that she still remembered that Cocolia wanted her to take the Xuanyuan Sword back, but now, the figure that appeared in front of her before appeared in front of her again.

[Chosen one, what you desire is for this giant beast to be completely unsealed.]

"Tsk, you're just playing tricks on me!"

After slashing at the opponent with the big sword in his hand, Xing became much more arrogant after watching the Xuanyuan Sword pass through the opponent's body but failed to hurt the opponent at all.

"Sure enough, you're just a holographic projection."

"Hmph, you're such a coward, you don't dare show up in front of me. To put it bluntly, you're afraid of me."

[...Alas, I never thought that the person who came here would be a little girl like you.]

"You... you're looking down on me, aren't you?"

After letting out a helpless sigh, the woman looked at the little girl who was furious, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on her face.

"That's not the case. I just think that since you want to be praised by your mother, the thing you should do now is not to be angry with me here, right?"

"I can sense that those guys you dislike are approaching us right now."

Even if you are very powerful and hold the Xuanyuan Sword, what can you do against so many enemies?

Of course, kill them all - Xing originally wanted to say this, but when she recalled the intelligence she had read before the mission, she still did not say this.

Before, she dared to charge directly at the Shenzhou Swordsman Brigade without saying a word, but in Xing's eyes, the Shenzhou Swordsman did not have any particularly powerful warriors according to the intelligence.

In addition, the protective suit of the Shenzhou Swordsman is far inferior to Tianming's Valkyrie Armor in defensive performance, so Xingcai feels that he can easily defeat them.

However, if the enemy she faced was the Valkyrie from the Far East Branch, the situation would be different.

In the entire Destiny, the Far East branch is the strongest of all branches.

As the strongest branch of Satori, the Far East branch has the highest proportion of Valkyries equipped with Valkyrie armor.

Against this group of people, Xing, who could easily kill the Shenzhou swordsman, might not be able to achieve the same results against this group of well-equipped Valkyries.

In addition, her mother Cocolia had specifically told Xing that it would be a good idea to run away as soon as she met the dwarf named Theresa. No matter how confident Xing was, she would not doubt her mother's judgment at this time.

Tsk, I'm not afraid of that dwarf.

I just listened to my mother and didn't want to waste any more time with those guys.

[However, if you can release the seal of this giant beast, then you won't have to face these troublesome guys next time.]

Having said this, the woman suddenly leaned close to Xing's ear and whispered to her.

[Even if it's for your own sake, dear child, go and unseal Chi You.]

"Stop talking to me like that!!!"

Xing, who was extremely annoyed, glared at the woman in front of her fiercely and spoke to her in a bad mood.

"I'll do it! You've been blabbering for so long, you must know where the seal is!"

"Lead me, I'll go and remove the seal now!"

【Well, that's good.】

At this moment, the woman floating in front suddenly had a look of pain on her face.

Damn it, the power of Honkai isn't strong enough right now, so I couldn't concentrate and almost lost my mind to that guy.

But then...as long as Chiyou is completely unleashed, the final winner will be me!

...........................................

At almost the same time, in the Jiuyou area

Deep in the Nine Netherworld, Theresa's expression became extremely serious as she listened to the information coming from Hyperion.

"Jizi, have you confirmed that this information is true?"

"Well, I'm looking at the detector now."

Jizi, who was on the Hyperion, spoke seriously to Theresa at this time.

"The instrument shows that a powerful Houkai energy reaction source has suddenly appeared right in front of you."

"According to the analysis report from headquarters, the intensity of this level of reaction source... is close to the energy intensity of a Judgment-level Honkai beast."

"And the other party has already started moving. In about three hours, it should be able to reach the Shenzhou Continent."

"Chiyou..."

After saying the name, Theresa immediately gave Jizi her first instruction.

"Jizi, I order you now - you must not use the Nexus system without my instructions!"

"Why?!"

Listening to Theresa's order, Jizi said a little annoyed.

"I'm in good health!"

"Don't be stubborn. I don't have the time to argue with you now."

"Chiyou is right in front of me. Others can retreat, but I definitely cannot."

"Under these circumstances, I am unable to continue commanding. Therefore, you will be responsible for commanding Hyperion, communicating intelligence with other branches and headquarters, and arranging the retreat routes for the combat troops on the scene."

"If it really comes to the point of no return, I will lift this order, but before that—your brain is much more useful than those two desperate attacks you unleashed, you know!"

"Tsk...I understand, Branch Chief."

After listening to Theresa's instructions, Jizi always felt that Theresa now seemed to have some subtle changes compared to the past.

How should I put it? Although I feel a little sorry for her old friend when I say this in my heart, but...

——Jizi felt that Theresa now was more like a high-ranking officer of the destiny on the front line of the anti-Honkai movement than she was in the past.

Ah, this guy has changed a lot since returning from Changkong City.

It seems that the third collapse was too much of a shock to her, leading to the current result.

After losing communication with Jizi, Theresa felt temporarily relieved.

Chi You woke up. Although the worst situation had already occurred, it was not yet at its worst.

After all, Chi You is a Judgment-level Honkai Beast, which is both good news and bad news for humans.

As a high-end Honkai force second only to the fourteen Herrschers, the Judgment-level Honkai beasts are so horrific a threat to humans that there is no need to elaborate on how horrible it is.

But at this moment, inside Jiuyou, there are actually two people who have the power to surpass Chiyou.

In addition to Theresa who has now decided to stay behind, Yuan Yan, who is operating in the Jiuyou map area, is also a very powerful combat force.

Although I don't think he can still unleash the power of multiple Herrschers at the same time like he did during the third collapse, and force Yulandel back with a single blow holding the Key of God, but if she joins forces with him, Theresa is confident that she can temporarily seal Chi You on the premise of playing that trump card.

As for why it was just sealed instead of killed...

Her trump card, the Divine Grace Barrier, did defeat Xilin, who had multiple Herrscher cores, fourteen years ago.

However, the Divine Grace Barrier can only last for one minute, and inside the Divine Grace Barrier, Theresa will become extremely weaker than usual because her body is injured by the Divine Grace Barrier, and she will lose more than 90% of her combat power.

Xilin was short at the time, and was unable to move after being covered by the divine grace barrier.

But Chiyou...according to the information, this guy is definitely a big guy.

Unless she can accurately find the opponent's vital point, then deploy the divine grace barrier at Chi You's vital point and then break his vital point, otherwise the one minute of the divine grace barrier...it is not enough no matter how you look at it.

"Hmm, wait..."

Looking back at Kiana who had not left, Theresa said with a stern expression.

"Why don't you obey orders, Kiana."

"Our enemy is a Judgment-level Honkai beast. This is no joke. I can't protect you against an enemy of that level."

"...Because I judge, Branch Chief, you need others to stay by your side."

Seeing Theresa's slightly annoyed expression, Kiana spoke to Theresa calmly.

"No matter what, Branch Chief, you must have someone by your side to serve as a signalman to keep in touch with the Major and other allies, right?"

"And after you fight the enemy, Branch Commander, if no one is by your side, and you encounter another enemy before you've recovered your strength to fight, then with me... I can at least help you retreat from the battlefield."

Ah, this girl...what she said makes quite a bit of sense.

"Also, the other seniors actually wanted to stay, but I persuaded them all to go back. After all, you are my aunt. As her niece, should I be the first to run away when she's in danger?"

Thinking of her father whom she had not seen for a long time and her senior who did not help her at all last time, Kiana said with a firm expression.

"I don't want to do such a thing!"

Alas, I thought this girl was stupid before, but now it seems...

I wronged her.

In such troublesome times, she becomes very reliable.

Come to think of it, although she is Siegfried's daughter, theoretically, she also has Cecilia's genes.

Well, looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem so hard to understand why this kid is so smart.

"Okay, then I'll ask you to be my backup, Kiana."

Theresa, who had given up trying to persuade the other party to leave, looked at the huge shadow not far away and spoke seriously to her family.

"Contact Fu Hua and ask her to ask Yuan Yan - Chi You has awakened. Is there any way to deal with this guy?"

Cocolia... I didn't expect that after being forced into a desperate situation, she would still have such terrible means.

Chi You's awakening is definitely related to the men she sent over. Last time it was from the Far East, this time it was from Shenzhou...

Damn it! Could it be that this guy is already planning how to harm innocent civilians in the next area at this point in time?

................................................

"That's what's going on. Captain Fu Hua... Please inform Vice Leader Yuan Yan of Anti-Entropy of this news and ask him if he has any means to deal with Chi You."

After listening to the news broadcast by Fu Hua, Yuan Yan's first reaction was... a little surprised.

The news that Fu Hua broadcast at this time was reported by Kiana.

However, the tone of Kiana's voice was different from Yuan Yan's impression of it during this period. When she spoke these words calmly in a cold tone, Yuan Yan felt as if he had experienced the great collapse two years later.

Ah, I have no idea what happened during this period.

Logically speaking, Otto's plan hasn't reached that stage yet. With Theresa protecting her and Cocolia most likely not creating a Joyce clone, she should be living a carefree campus life in this situation.

As a result, she now spoke in such a calm tone, without any sense of shouting.

It's not a bad thing that she's become reliable, but being this reliable in 2014 is... a little scary.

Let's get down to business first. After solving the problem with Chiyou, I have to take a good look at what happened to this girl.

As for the other side, unlike Yuno and Mei who were already prepared for battle, after listening to the news reported by Kiana, Bronya's expression became obviously very unnatural.

After all, although a chip was stuffed into her brain by Cocolia, her brain problems were not enough to cause her to lose her memory.

She did not forget that the task assigned to her by Cocolia this time was to find the seal of Chiyou inside Jiuyou, and after removing the seal, use Chiyou's combat power to consume the combat power of Destiny and Anti-Entropy.

As a result, Chi You was now able to move, which meant that Xing Yunyun had successfully completed the task assigned to them by her adoptive mother.

But now, looking at the people who were already rubbing their hands in anticipation, the girl only felt...

Her adoptive mother, who she didn't know how to evaluate, seemed to have made a bad move.
