Compared to losing face, losing is obviously more shameful, right? You invited this fight yourself!
As long as I win, I can get my face back. As for the humiliation... Bronya will vent it all on that bastard Jiang Qiao!
"Take this! Bronya is not the Bronya she used to be!"
"fire!"
As the words, which smelled like baby formula, were uttered, and as her hand clenched, sparks erupted from the floating cannons—looking at the white-haired girl who remained unmoved, Bronya felt a mixture of annoyance and excitement. Annoyance stemmed from the fact that she had used her Herrscher powers, yet Jiang Qiao remained completely unfazed—what did she mean by looking down on Bronya? Looking down on Bronya would come at a price!
Bronya's excitement stemmed from the thought of defeating this scoundrel, adding another impressive achievement to her record, and the prospect of taking revenge on him by 'humiliating' him later. For this reason, Bronya's anger subsided considerably.
However, out of concern, Bronya deliberately reduced the firepower and power of those floating cannons, keeping them at a level where they would be injured but not seriously.
All we need to do is render this bad guy incapable of resisting!
With her eyes shining brighter and her emotions rising, Bronya stared intently at Jiang Qiao, who was within the range of the floating cannon's firepower. Bronya had carefully calculated this attack; this bastard wouldn't have any room to dodge. If he dared to try to dodge with that kind of movement as before... she would definitely make this bastard feel incredibly satisfied!
Do you even know what it means to have high evasion with area-of-effect (AOE) attacks?
Of course, Duck was also concerned about the 'imaginary authority' that Jiang Qiao could use as 'Kiana'—but it didn't matter, even if this bad guy opened up the imaginary space to block this attack, Bronya still had a backup plan!
"boom--!"
Numerous shells and their heat rays struck directly and squarely... No resistance? Bronya stared at the thick smoke and dust, her eyes gleaming with disbelief and uncertainty.
This guy... he really isn't putting up any resistance?
Thinking about this, Bronya suddenly felt a little worried again.
Although she was somewhat pleased that this bad guy obediently took the beatings to vent her anger, Ya Ya didn't want him to suffer any serious injuries. Taking so many hits without any precautions, even if she had adjusted the intensity beforehand, could easily lead to problems.
Bronya, her heart pounding with anxiety, immediately abandoned the fight and ran over, calling out worriedly:
"Jiang Qiao, are you alright?!"
As the smoke cleared, Bronya stopped in her tracks.
Looking at Kiana, who stood there without a single scratch and seemed completely unharmed, Yaya fell silent.
She silently raised one hand—and a Vulcan machine gun appeared.
"Da da da da~"
miss~miss~miss~
In some bizarre movements, all the bullets ended up hitting the wall behind them.
"you..."
Bronya laughed in exasperation upon seeing the result—well, so you're using an evasion cheat here, huh?!
As a seasoned gamer, all I can say about this scene is, "It's so familiar, bro!"
No wonder Bronya couldn't hit her no matter what she did!
Although she didn't know how this was achieved, Bronya was certain that this was definitely an 'dodge dog'.
Looking back on my earlier worries, I realized they were all for naught.
Duck's previously suppressed anger bar began to rise again, and it grew quite rapidly.
Jiang Qiao, unaware of this, was quite satisfied.
This is Chinese Kung Fu! (Confirmed)
"Should we continue playing?"
"continue!"
Bronya gritted her teeth, "Bronya's Wolf Fang will never lose to the Evasion Dog!"
Dodging, huh!
Bronya, let's see how you dodge this!
With the palm raised once more.
An inexplicable aura locked onto Jiang Qiao—who also sensed it.
This feeling...
"The Great Void Sword God?!" Sensing the precursor to this aura, Kiana's face was filled with surprise.
You could say that Fu Hua using this move is fine, but Bronya... he understands that Bronya was able to learn this move in Paradise—after all, the Void Sword Qi is actually a product of the summation of previous civilizations, and Fu Hua just added some content herself later.
However, Jiang Qiao wasn't quite sure about Bronya's talent, but according to the plot, it would likely take her a long time to reach that level.
"No, not the Sword God... I know."
Bronya's little face showed a hint of pride in response.
Her diligent training in the Paradise also allowed her to master some things; the Void Sword God couldn't do anything about it, but...
The essence of the Taixu Sword God is a 'comprehensive skill' adapted from a previous civilization.
While Duck couldn't unleash that powerful, all-encompassing attack, Bronya had learned a part of it—the Taixu Sword God's Qi Locking Technique.
Applying this technique to one's own moves can, to some extent, achieve a 'guaranteed hit' effect like the Taixu Sword God.
Although the difference is huge, there is no doubt that this is indeed a 'sure-fire' tactic.
The entire training ground was filled with floating cannons, and the number of floating cannons this time was several times that of the previous ones. At the same time, a dark red metal sphere appeared in Bronya's hand.
—The Ninth Key of God: Star of Eden.
"Using this method to make up for deficiencies?" Jiang Qiao looked around, somewhat surprised.
The reason why the Taixu Sword God is invincible is that it is an attack that locks onto the mind and fills the space. In essence, when the Taixu Sword God uses it, the entire space belongs to the 'Taixu Sword God'.
This method of locking down energy separately loses the omnipresence of the Sword God and is therefore greatly diminished. To address this, Bronya devised her own way to achieve a similar effect, using the rated power of the floating cannons and Eden's Star for suppression attacks.
...Bronya has also made considerable progress.
A hint of relief flashed across Kiana's face.
"Eden's Star! Zero Rated Power. Simulated Black Hole!"
A terrifying gravity, accompanied by the childish, milk-powder-smelling words, was applied to Jiang Qiao.
What followed were rather smug remarks:
"Now let's see how you hide!"
First, suppress their movement, then stack up the guaranteed hit attribute, completely sealing them off! This victory belongs to Bronya!
Jiang Qiao smiled at this.
You can dodge, but do you understand the true value of Chinese martial arts?
However, Bronya has already tried so hard; it would be inappropriate for her to continue hiding.
Oh well...
Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to try out the other power we've acquired.
With that thought in mind, the white-haired girl slowly closed her eyes.
Bronya interpreted this as surrendering without resistance—as before, she lowered the power, and even lowered it further due to previous concerns.
"fire!"
In an instant, the firepower poured out, but Kiana, who stood quietly in place, still did not move.
Won!
Bronya was quite excited.
But the next moment—
Just as the missiles and lasers were about to approach, the white-haired girl slowly opened her eyes—not azure blue, but a shimmering gold filled with a sense of desolation, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, a faint divinity that sent chills down one's spine.
The power of the Herrscher of the Void is insignificant compared to this power.
Breathing stopped, air stopped, and so did the impending attacks.
After this stagnation, everything disappeared.
The missiles and lasers constructed from the power of the Laws of Reason vanished as specks of purple starlight.
The same applies to floating cannons.
When she met those golden eyes, Bronya froze on the spot—not daring to move an inch. She tried to mobilize the Honkai energy within her body to react, but mobilizing that Honkai energy was extremely difficult and even nearly stopped.
It was as if she wasn't the master of those Honkai energies.
The crown of the Herrscher of Reason dissipated, not out of personal will, but out of coercion. In fact, Bronya once again experienced what it felt like to have her driver's license revoked, but it was different from the Staff of the Underworld.
This is a top-down, extremely domineering form of control.
Just like a lioness facing a strong and powerful male lion, she can hardly muster the thought of resisting.
At this moment, 'Kiana' also changed.
A ceremonial robe, resembling that of a saint, replaced her training vest, and sparkling crystal hair ornaments adorned her long, snow-white hair that cascaded down her back.
Her slender hands, accentuated by the flared sleeves, hung gently between her thighs, revealing the gold embroidery on the snow-white, battle-robed skirt.
