Kapitel 72: Chapter 21: The Golden Cube: Oops, I've Become the Boss
It must be said that Schicksal R&D has made tremendous progress over the past few decades.
Although the combat suits worn by Bronya and Timido aren't as powerful in terms of output as the Vermillion Knight · Eclipse, with the addition of the "Moon Ring", they become versatile, capable of adapting to various environments.
—The most important aspect is their ridiculously strong mobility!
Let's not even mention the double jump; that's just basic.
Timido, with her equipment resembling ice skates, kicked up a whirlwind on the field, sending monsters like minotaurs and dual-blade monsters flying with the increased speed of the pink-haired girl.
Not to mention the "Fool" type of small monsters; they felt like little animals mistakenly entering a highway, being rushed over by the pink big truck, and not even feeling what they hit.
As Timido ran, the monsters behind her squealed and flew, only to be taken down by Himeko following closely behind with her sword, efficiently splitting the battle roles.
The real terror came later.
Luo Lin witnessed Bronya activating the "White Heat Mode" of the "Moon Ring", and then the whole person seemed to be cheating, continuously firing energy beams from the energy gun that were as thick as artillery shells, flying in the air solely by the recoil of shooting without touching the ground at all.
At that time, the entire field was filled with blue light, almost blinding Luo Lin's eyes.
However, the "Ruins Challenge" was still a challenge after all. As Luo Lin and her group delved deeper, the difficulty of the battles suddenly increased.
Those mechanical monsters not only strengthened from being "a bit tougher and hitting a bit harder" but the later enhancements directly turned them into entirely new species.
"CodeXVII-Star", an evolved version formed by the combination of the basic type small monster "Fool" and the floating jellyfish "Lover", attached to the back of "Fool" like a hunting crab.
"Star" not only increased its movement speed but could also release a strange sphere in all directions, covering a dangerous area with radiation.
"CodeXVIII-Moon", evolved from the floating "Magician" and "Lover", could flash to release clones, and the explosion power of the clones was considerable. It could also release tracking radiation bullets.
Fortunately, these tracking bullets were not stable, and Luo Lin could shoot them down with her assault rifle, as they flew at relatively slow speeds.
"CodeXIX-Sun", a combination of the dual-blade monster "Strength" and "Lover", with radiation added to both blades, and the temperature was unusually high. After enhancement, it could even withstand a chop from Himeko's Infinite Tower.
Well, it could only withstand it once in a short time.
Himeko liked these kinds of opponents the most, who underestimated her and liked to confront her head-on but couldn't quite keep up.
On the other hand, Timido had some problems when facing "Sun". The enhanced dual-blade monster liked to flash everywhere, often resulting in situations where she charged towards "Sun", only for it to appear behind Timido after a flash, while the pink-haired girl had already slid away on her ice skates, creating a strange situation where both sides missed each other.
The remaining big robots like "Emperor", the armor-wearing one resembling a skirt, and "Invisible" holding a laser ball, were already familiar faces. Luo Lin and her team had encountered them more than once outside St. Fontaine and were not unfamiliar with dealing with them.
As the levels increased, Bronya and Himeko became more ruthless in their attacks. Maybe because their bodies were warmed up, they could basically take out the opponents with a few moves.
The mechanical monsters gradually realized this and tried to avoid these two killing machines, going after the other two targets instead.
Unexpectedly, Timido changed tactics—she increased her speed, circled around the sidelines, and seized the opportunity to rush into the monster pile, kicking twice, then using her speed advantage to pull away from the pursuing enemies, and circling back to find another opportunity.
What a "BZ" tactic from an airplane!
In the end, they all targeted Luo Lin, who had relatively less mobility and strength.
The girls were already used to surviving in the chaos. Previously, because Bronya and Himeko were too ruthless with killing monsters too quickly, she had finally returned to the familiar rhythm of being chased.
For a moment, the sounds of flash grenades and hand grenades echoed from left to right in the field, and then back from right to left. Luo Lin's face was filled with tranquility, evoking a little sympathy from Bronya and Timido.
"Um, you can use the 'Moon Ring' more... Although I don't know where you got it from, its 'Icarus' core can enhance your mobility..."
"Can I double jump too?!"
Bronya's mouth twitched rarely: "Well... although that's not entirely impossible to say, but 'Icarus'... well, you just need understand the spirit."
Luo Lin tested the auxiliary mobility function of the "Moon Ring" like a child with a new toy, maneuvering through the monster groups effortlessly, as if born to it, running with a silky smoothness that was comparable to Timido's.
The unexpected control of the honkai energy played a significant role here. The "Moon Ring" was a small machine with limited traction efficiency for the surrounding Honkai energy, but Luo Lin could use the manipulation technique of the honkai energy to pull a piece of it over, allowing it to remain in a "white-heat state" for a long time.
Luo Lin smiled even more happily this time. With the assistance of the "Moon Ring", every bullet she fired now carried the Honkai energy. If she wanted, she could even condense the Honkai energy into bullets and shoot them out directly.
With sufficient energy, it was simply unlimited firepower!
Luo Lin licked her lips satisfactorily, looking at the system settlement screen that popped up in front of her.

"Finally, we've reached the end..."
Bronya also took a slight breath, surveying the surroundings. They were now on the bridge of the Lionhead Bay, and in the distance was the location of the "Arcane Castle".
The strange building now only had a floating base left, with the red crystals that once surrounded it shattered and fragmented. Although there was still some power supporting the fragments to float in the air, the height had clearly decreased, entering an irreversible state of destruction.
"...I never expected that you would be the first to arrive here..."
The familiar voice made Bronya tense up. She looked at the figure covered in wounds, with half of its mask blown off, and shouted, "Void Archives! What are you up to? How did St. Fontaine become like this?!"
"To be honest, I don't know."
Void Archives rarely showed a weak expression, leaning against a concrete pillar, and said with a bitter smile, "I'm just carrying out my mission—I want to completely eliminate the 'Honkai' from this world."
"Completely eliminate?" Bronya snorted, pointing her gun at him. "The concentration of Honkai energy in St. Fontaine is rapidly increasing. If not dealt with in time, the Earth will return to the era of frequent Honkais—are you calling that 'eliminating the Honkai'?"
"No, actually, my plan is... um, why can't I control my own body..."
Void Treasures stood up, his face twisted in pain, and the damaged mask fell to the ground, shattering into golden dots.
He stiffened his body, his gaze blank, holding a golden cube in his hand.
"What's going on?" Bronya took two steps back, looking wary.
Luo Lin stared blankly at the multi-segmented HB bar that popped up above her field of view, followed by a number [*8].
Does it mean...
"Oops, this guy just lit up his health bar for us!"
