章節 109: Chapter 109: Kicking People Offline Directly? [Simulation End]
Durandal had never encountered such a troublesome opponent before.
Not a Herrscher, but the displayed strength was more outstanding than the average Herrscher. The opponent not only demonstrated proficiency in the use of authority but also excelled in close-quarters combat.
Durandal had read the records in the Schicksal Database about the Second Great Eruptions and had imagined whether she would have a chance of victory if she encountered the Second Herrscher at that time.
The answer was that she wasn't worried about losing to a single-core Herrscher. As for the six-core Herrscher, Durandal reserved her opinion for now.
At least Durandal didn't know if she could unleash an infinite heavenly fire like Siegfried. She didn't have the Holy Judgment of Shamash, and she hadn't tried.
Another spear attack by Chase was resolved, and Durandal stepped back, contemplating a breakthrough.
Her time was limited, and the Holy Stigmata Plan in Arc City was underway. If she couldn't quickly deal with the enemy, she might have to consider defying Otto's orders.
Chase did indeed show his uniqueness. It was not surprising that Otto took notice, but if Otto wanted her to give up capturing this person and abandon the millions of residents in the city, Durandal couldn't do it.
Seeing Durandal temporarily pause, Chase also stopped the attack. It was a frustrating battle, and he was struggling. The use of authority was restricted, he couldn't escape, and he had to guard against the Black Abyss White Flower.
The function of the God Key, Black Abyss White Flower, was not as simple as its name suggested. As an enemy, if you were poked, doomed to see that Black Abyss White Flower could kill you.
It had to be said that the strength of the super-dull-goose person did take Chase by surprise. Even with Kaslana's physique and the sword at the "Dustless" realm, Chase could barely keep up with Durandal's rhythm in a direct confrontation. It couldn't be said that he would lose, but he was indeed at a disadvantage.
Every time, just as it seemed he would be injured, he would skillfully use authority to avoid it. Then, he would be caught up, leading to a fierce battle. After several consecutive rounds, not only Chase but even Durandal was getting tired.
"Miss Durandal, I never intended to fight." Chase sighed, holding the spear of the void, his tone full of helplessness.
It seemed that Durandal knew it was impossible to let do anything to him. However, from the recent probing, she couldn't capture him, but he couldn't escape either.
Fine, let's fight to the death here.
Durandal was a person of extreme integrity, and as the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal, she naturally weighed the importance.
But clearly, the external collapsing bomb looked more dangerous than me. Durandal seemed to have singled him out, insisting on arresting him. The mastermind behind this was already obvious.
Otto, huh? He had marked this grudge to the list.
Looking at Durandal, confirming that she had no intention of a truce, Chase reached out. Two virtual voids opened behind Durandal, and a pair of virtual hands made of energy reached out towards her.
Durandal, alert, instantly realized it. The spear in her hand thrust out, and her golden hair fluttered in the fierce wind.
But at the moment when the spear was about to touch the virtual hands, they suddenly dissipated, turning into thin virtual bands. The tip of the spear passed through the virtual bands, picking up a few strands but causing no significant harm. Countless virtual bands quickly extended towards Durandal, entwining her body and restricting her movement.
Her right hand, holding the spear, was entangled and hard to pull back. Regular Valkyries might have surrendered at this point, but Durandal was different.
The golden-haired girl's gaze focused, and the power of the God Key was instantly activated. Faint blue energy erupted from the armor, directly destroying all the virtual bands around her.
Without any pause, Durandal raised the spear and thrust it towards Chase. With the sound of the virtual bands shattering, Black Abyss White Flower pierced the air and directly stabbed Chase.
Durandal even saw the boy's expression, mixed with surprise and incomprehension.
Got him. Durandal thought.
The power of the God Key was immense, and the force of the Black Abyss was like poison to living beings, corroding the body and rapidly draining vitality.
Durandal had no intention of killing her opponent since Otto wanted him alive. Observing Chase's situation, Durandal seized the opportunity to use White Flower.
However, in the next moment, her pupils enlarged. Chase, who was hit by the spear, suddenly looked up at her, revealing a meaningful smile. This made Durandal feel uneasy, with a vague sense of foreboding. She made a motion to draw Black Abyss White Flower but hastily retreated.
But it was too late.
A void opened under Durandal, and a pair of virtual hands reached out, pulling her downward. Durandal looked at Chase in surprise. She was amazed at his madness of trading injuries for injuries, but the next moment, she realized her thoughts were wrong.
Standing in front of her, Chase's figure disintegrated in an instant, turning into twinkling stars.
And not far away, Chase's figure reappeared, looking somewhat exhausted.
Durandal only then realized that she had fallen into a trap. Trying to break free from the gravitational pull of the virtual void, it was already too late. She was pulled into another dimension.
[Infinite Corridor]
With a slightly swollen head, Chase's current condition was not particularly good. The recent series of actions had consumed a considerable amount of energy.
First, he used feigned attacks to attract attention. Then, in the moment when Durandal's attention was diverted, he changed his position and replaced himself with a projection from the virtual space. He achieved a state of confusion using the Infinite Corridor, a prepared move that trapped her.
The Infinite Corridor, as an extension of the authority of the Void Herrscher, created a limited but repeatedly looping space using the spatial handle of the Void Law. This was a technique used by Sirin during the Second Great Eruption, achieving impressive results by imprisoning two S-rank Valkyries, allowing Theresa to have a one-on-one showdown with Sirin.
Admittedly, the Infinite Corridor was quite esoteric but incredibly effective.
Although the Infinite Corridor was powerful, creating such a esoteric space consumed a significant amount of Honkai energy. Chase didn't have a Herrscher core that could connect to the virtual space and store a large amount of Honkai energy.
After taking a short break in the original location, Chase's figure disappeared.
It was time to complete his mainline mission. The Infinite Corridor couldn't trap Durandal for too long. Once the righteous dull-goose person emerged, things would become complicated. Time to take action.
............
At this moment, on the signal tower, the energy leakage from the Honkai bomb was becoming increasingly intense. Honkai energy released from it surged like a dam bursting open, and the surrounding concentration of Honkai energy had reached a terrifying level.
For ordinary people, standing here for just one second would likely result in Honkai infection. Those lucky enough might face death with human dignity, while those less fortunate would be directly assimilated by the Honkai, turning into dead soldiers.
Moreover, the Honkai bomb continued to leak Honkai energy at an accelerating rate. Even if the Honkai bomb didn't explode, just allowing the Honkai energy within it to continue leaking would bring the city close to destruction.
It was nothing more than a difference between acute death and chronic death.
The erosion from the Honkai seemed to have caught up again. Violet patterns began to spread on Kiana's arm. Kiana gritted her teeth, as if making a determined decision. She stepped forward, gradually approaching the Honkai bomb.
"Deal with it... then go help Chase..." Kiana thought to herself, getting closer to the target.
The closer she got, the more the high-concentration Honkai energy storm accelerated the Honkai's erosion. The Honkai cracks on her arm spread rapidly to the surroundings.
This was due to Kiana's strong adaptability to Honkai energy. For an ordinary person, they would have long become a corpse or a dead soldier.
She was a Herrscher, yet not entirely. Unless Sirin was willing to help, she would still be affected by the erosion of Honkai energy, regardless of her high resistance. For her, Honkai energy was never a cure but more like a double-edged sword. She could use it, but she had to consider its backlash.
In the midst of the Honkai storm, Kiana suddenly felt like a flatboat in the wind and waves, not knowing when it would be sunk. The destructive consciousness of Honkai washed over her entire body, and her mind floated and sank in this vast expanse. Even the stable mental space seemed a bit precarious.
"You don't have to care about those people." The Queen of the Void in the Mental Space didn't choose to take advantage of the situation but instead teased with interest. However, the proud queen had no intention of helping.
Human life was irrelevant to her, and, if anything, she was quite willing to help. As for Chase's safety, she wasn't worried.
This was an unspoken understanding between siblings, a kind of unconditional trust. In Sirin's eyes, her brother was an omnipotent superhero who could perfectly handle every task, much like making pastries.
"I can't collapse here..." Despite the queen's words, Kiana was not shaken but rather seemed to find a spiritual anchor. She became more determined, feeling as if a heavy burden on her back had suddenly been taken away.
"He said he believes I can do it, so I can do it." Kiana's words made the queen feel inexplicably uncomfortable, so she chose to ignore her.
So, with the support of this will, Kiana finally broke through this raging storm, stretched out her hand, and gripped the activation mechanism of the lockdown device.
Only a step away from the Honkai bomb, there was a thick layer of special glass separating Kiana and the Honkai bomb. The bomb flickered with dangerous red light, and surging Honkai energy continued to leak from it, giving off a menacing feeling.
Without hesitation, Kiana pressed her hands on the mechanism, desperately turning it. However, the sound from behind made Kiana pause in her actions.
"Doing this won't stop the explosion, Kiana." Chase stood behind Kiana, smiling.
"Are you okay? What about Durandal?" Kiana turned to look at Chase, her eyes showing undisguised joy. "And hurry up and help, Chase!"
As if suddenly finding the backbone, Kiana's tense expression relaxed a bit at this moment, as if someone had taken away a part of the heavy burden on her back.
"I threw Durandal into the Infinite Corridor. It should take some time for her to escape."
Seeing the naive and ignorant look in Kiana's eyes, Chase continued, "I will explain the principle later. With the authority of the Herrscher of Void, you can do it too. You can also ask Sirin for advice; she knows this too."
"Oh..." Kiana no longer lingered on this issue, looking at the Honkai bomb with some worry. "So what should we do now?"
"It's simple," Chase smiled, sounding casual, "now the Honkai bomb is in an extremely unstable state. If it were at the beginning, perhaps you could have directly moved it away using spatial transfer. But now, that method is obviously not applicable and would instead become a trigger."
"So..." In Kiana's naive and foolish eyes, Chase reached out and snapped his fingers.
Snap—
With a crisp snap of his fingers, the surrounding environment was instantly replaced. The sky turned hazy, and high-tech buildings were covered in dark ashes.
Darkness, silence, and a suppressive atmosphere filled this space.
Kiana suddenly realized that her position had changed drastically in that instant.
Virtual space. The term flashed in the girl's mind, and it was here that her teacher sacrificed herself for Kiana's awakening.
Just when Kiana was still in a daze, Chase's words brought her back to reality.
"Don't just stand there, let's go. If you look at it for too long, it's going to explode." Chase said, holding Kiana's hand, and the two returned to reality together.
Boom—
At the moment when Chase and Kiana left, a powerful energy erupted in the virtual space. Chase closed the virtual void just before this energy arrived.
Seeing that everything was going according to his plan, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, no accidents occurred. Next, he should consider how to deal with Durandal in the Infinite Corridor.
This was going to be a big trouble.
"Kiana..." Chase turned his head, looking at the white-haired girl who still had some lingering fear, and was about to say something. However, his vision suddenly went black, and he fainted.
