What? My cheat code is making my own gold coins explode?

Relying on the Vulcan cannon and GN gun, only a single-digit number of Honkai Beasts were eliminated. This was thanks to the firepower covered by GN particles, which had a certain weakening effect on the Honkai Beasts. Although I didn't understand the principle, I had no choice but to go for it.

"I'll distract some of them; the rest are yours."

Zhao Si's voice came from the Exia Gundam. He then controlled the Exia to take off, his right hand transformed into sword mode, and his left hand gripped the GN longsword. With his extremely high mobility, he charged forward while dodging the ranged attacks of the ballista-class Honkai Beasts.

In team fights, the enemy ADC is immediately targeted. Moreover, these primitive ballista-class Honkai Beasts, after throwing away their energy orbs, replenish their energy on the spot. Taking advantage of the gaps in their gear shifts, Exusiai cuts off the ranged attacks of the Honkai Beast horde while maneuvering.

Zhao Si concentrated intensely, taking to the air to evade attacks from the tank-class and knight-class Honkai Beasts after each one he killed. Just as he was about to kill the last ballista-class Honkai Beast, a loud "boom" exploded, and the beams fired by the two Honkai Emperors rose from the ground and quickly struck Exusiai's feet.

"Ugh! To be struck by a wild beast, that's really embarrassing! Veda, help me!"

The moment Zhao Si shouted, he saw the weak points of the two Honkai Emperors below the Veda mark, which he had been analyzing for a long time. Compared to the outer armor covered by Honkai energy, these weak points were like nodes supporting the huge Honkai energy aggregate.

"This is where your deaths end!"

As the Gundam Exia swooped down at high speed, Zhao Si in the cockpit felt as if his whole body was being squeezed and suffocated, but his mind became clearer and clearer. He gently pushed the control stick and slammed his feet on the pedals. The Gundam Exia crashed to the ground just before it collided with the two ring beams!

Because it was the Honkai Emperor, it was only surrounded by small rush-class Honkai Beasts. However, their charging routes were all within Veda's prediction. The Exia Gundam hovered at low altitude and swung its twin swords. As if to commit suicide, the rush-class Honkai Beasts crashed into the blades of the solid swords one after another.

Without the slightest hindrance, Gundam Exia slashed through the body of one of the Honkai Emperors before its ring beam could retract, and then sliced ​​through the ring beam with its sword. The physical sword and the Honkai energy collided in a violent energy clash.

Before the beam attack from another Honkai Emperor arrived, Gundam Exia had already taken off first, leaving the Honkai Emperor, which had been cut in half, to be disintegrated by its own beast's beam attack, leaving only its silicon-based shell in place.

"Huff, huff, huff... Only you are left."

Zhao Si was a little parched, but he didn't dare to relax. After he had diverted most of the Honkai Beasts' attention, the two A-rank Valkyries from Destiny were very good at seizing the opportunity to kill any stray Honkai Beasts with a single blow.

Within five minutes, Zhao Si eliminated all the crossbow-class Honkai Beasts and the first Honkai Emperor. According to Veda's display, there were only 132 Honkai Beasts left on the field, a remarkable achievement.

However, after Zhao Si suddenly took down one of the leaders, the other Honkai Emperor seemed to have learned its lesson and let out an unrecognizable cry, causing the other lower-ranking Honkai Beasts to stop scattering and chasing the Exia Gundam and instead gather under the skirt armor of this Honkai Emperor.

There is some awareness, but in terms of effect, it is equivalent to no awareness at all.

Now, the straight-line distance between the airborne Exia Gundam and the Honkai Emperor is only over 900 meters. Zhao Si pulled the control stick back with his left hand and then pushed it forward sharply. The Exia Gundam grabbed the beam dagger on its rear skirt armor and threw it forward!

"Snapped!"

Almost at the same time that the Honkai Emperor split off a beam to shatter the flying beam dagger, Exusiai's next beam dagger flew toward the Honkai Emperor's body like a death warrant. However, at the latter's command, this beam dagger was pushed away by the rushing Honkai Beast.

With less than 400 meters remaining, Zhao Si was now less than 400 meters away from the Honkai Emperor. The remaining distance was less than a second away. Given the Honkai Emperor's intelligence, the opponent was already cornered and had no way to counterattack...

"Warning! Warning! A Temple-class Honkai Beast has appeared behind the machine!"

"Teleport?"

The high-speed diverging Exia forcefully flipped 90 degrees to the right, barely dodging the spear of the Temple-class Honkai Beast. At the same time, Exia gripped her physical sword with her right hand and lifted it up to instantly kill the attacking Temple-class Honkai Beast, the Honkai Emperor had already gathered the blades around itself and quickly stabbed towards Exia Gundam!

"Damn it, there's still less than a hundred meters left..."

Zhao Si hesitated for only a moment before he was about to risk having his mecha slashed by the blades and forcefully break through the sword formation. However, the next moment, twelve bright yellow blades, as sharp as lightning, swept past, breaking through the last resistance of the Collapse Emperor.

"right here!"

As the Gundam Exia flipped back, it threw out the GN Shield from its left arm, forcibly trapping the Honkai Emperor's body. When the GN Shield was distorted by this, two GN physical blades pierced through the Honkai Emperor's body. The Gundam Exia, wielding the swords, continued its momentum, charging into the remaining Honkai beasts with both swords and slashing wildly. With its dragon-like movements, no Honkai beast could withstand it!

From the moment Exusiai joined the battle until she killed the 317th Honkai Beast, there were no more Honkai Beasts around the Tower of Babel, a total of 6 minutes and 47 seconds elapsed.

"Mission complete. Tower of Babel... is safe for now."

P.S.: I hope I don't get my RG00RXN Seven Swords when I pull for cards. Even though it's a full set of equipment, I've already taken it all apart and repainted it (lol).

Chapter Nine: The Pain of Not Having a Maintenance Team

"One beam saber hilt is completely damaged, the GN Shield is slightly bent and barely usable, and the Seven-Sword Exia has become a Six-Sword Exia. And this is only to deal with ordinary Honkai Beast hordes..."

Silently calculating the damage to Exia's body, Zhao Si, sitting in the cockpit, felt a pang of heartache, his eyelids twitching constantly. After materializing, he didn't have a maintenance team here, and if the equipment was broken, it was truly beyond repair.

Judging from the current development of events, I haven't been able to truly change the plot points yet, and the second collapse will end as usual within the next week.

Even if we beg those two great scientists from Anti-Entropy to help modernize Exusiai, and if we dedicate ourselves to it wholeheartedly this week, we might actually be able to create a set of equipment similar to the Avalanche cheat kit.

Unfortunately, that was impossible. Tearing each other apart with the Second Herrscher was the most important thing. Even when Siegfried and Welt Yang saw Exusiai standing at the door after leaving the Tower of Babel, the two big boys' eyes lit up and their legs almost wouldn't move. They were only willing to leave after Theresa pushed them forward...

They are indeed quite obsessed, but these people are ultimately high-ranking members of their respective factions and must always prioritize the overall situation. Their work on revamping Exusiai is not comparable to that of the Second Herrscher, whose influence extends far and wide.

[This is the Exia Gundam. Its appearance and color scheme are no different from the standard model, but due to a complete modernization, its performance is comparable to the close-combat version, the Pioneer.]

"If you can force 00 to open three red cards, you'd better actually be able to carry out modern modifications."

The system's unexpected banter amused Zhao Si, but the modern modifications it mentioned weren't impossible in this world—

The premise is that after I finish this battle, Gundam Exia can still keep the GN Drive.

Or perhaps we could have Welt take a look while Exusiai is still alive; who knows, he might be able to recreate an entire squad of Exusiai?

[Excuse my bluntness, but with your fighting style, no amount of machinery could withstand your reckless rampage.]

"What's wrong with melee-focused mobile suits? I can't just stand outside with the GN gun and fire in short bursts, that's too inefficient."

Although there were some mistakes in my previous maneuvering, such as failing to communicate with the Valkyrie of Destiny in time, I still had to rely on the opponent's magnetic levitation blades to save the day in the final sprint.

But even if we take a step back and assume the worst, couldn't these Honkai Beasts just behave themselves and let us cut them down one by one? Instead, we had to sacrifice a beam sword hilt; it's such a huge loss.

[To save the Tower of Babylon, I sacrificed a beam dagger and half a GN shield, without earning a single gacha pull. I might as well have joined the Anti-Entropy Alliance leader and the others to take down the Second Herrscher; maybe I could have gotten some extra gacha pulls. Sigh, host, you're such a sweet and cuddly little kid~]

"Hey, don't try to disgust me. You definitely tampered with my body's age when you time-traveled."

[Thanks to your age, host, you just received a bunch of benefits, didn't you? Especially for those older uncles and aunts, Kid Bro is the ultimate solution, you know.]

"……It really is."

Einstein had extensive experience in raising children; Walter Young was the one who was raised; Theresa was overflowing with love; and Siegfried became a father for the first time.

Only by demonstrating his value to Einstein could he enter the very center of this great collapse with Einstein's guarantee. Otherwise, if he flew around with Exusiai, the important figures might persuade him to disembark under the pretext of protecting him.

[Never mind, it's not too late to get there now. Look, something wonderful is happening in the forest 20 kilometers away. If you go there now, you can get a lot of gacha pulls by killing Benares on the spot!]

"...System, you are the most arrogant one."

[Huh? What did I do now? You said killing Judgment-class Honkai Beasts was more important than guarding those orphans in the Tower of Babel, right? There are only a maximum of twelve Judgment-class Honkai Beasts in the world; rarity makes them valuable.]

[This plot point was arranged according to the original storyline. Benares, who shouldn't have died completely during the Second Honkai Impact, is arguably in the top five points of this sequence, although it's just the system's ranking.]

Zhao Si remained silent; he simply pushed the control stick, and the Exia Gundam flew in the direction Welt Yang had indicated before leaving.

He understood what the system meant; the other party hadn't explicitly stated it, which was a way of preserving some tact in communication.

The orphans she was trying to save didn't even have the right to become part of her destiny.

"Unfortunately, I am a kind-hearted person and always want to do something unnecessary."

Exia's flight speed stabilized at Mach 0.7, and Zhao Si adjusted his state within 86 seconds of reaching his destination.

At this moment, he could feel his mental state declining. Although the two battles lasted less than ten minutes in total, Zhao Si was a newcomer. Fortunately, he had a standalone Veda on his mecha to assist him, which allowed him to pilot the Exia with ease, comparable to the original Exia.

In a high-level match, Zhao Si would definitely be no match, but here, who else is there to fight him in a Gundam?

Zhao Si, I'll test whether the Mystic Particle can withstand the spatial power of the Second Herrscher.

Just like his name.

On the other side, less than half a minute remained before Zhao Si arrived at the battlefield, but the great-granddaughter of a certain Archbishop of Destiny was still being dragged into the Imaginary Space by the Second Herrscher.

Before Siegfried and Welt Young could rush in, the Emperor-class Honkai Beast that had hatched there emerged from its cocoon and blocked the two men's path.

"One red and one blue, are they twins?"

Siegfried didn't hesitate for long and rushed forward to fight the two Honkai Beasts. He originally wanted to take advantage of the fact that they had just hatched and hadn't had time to react before finishing the fight quickly. However, the energy bullets fired from the Skyfire Twin Pistols couldn't hurt them at all. Siegfried even managed to hold off the arms of the two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts from the left and right.

Welt Yang, standing to the side, adjusted his glasses and observed the situation. His first impression was of the Kaslana family's inherited superhuman strength, which allowed them to withstand a King-class Honkai Beast head-on, with Siegfried even having time to let out a wail.

"Alliance Leader? Alliance Leader? Alliance Leader, please save us!"

Before the fight, he confidently declared that he could handle the situation alone, but after the fight began, he was quickly overwhelmed in the struggle. Walter Yang began to wonder if Schicksal lacked a course on combat skills.

Theresa was caught in the obvious trap, and Siegfried, in a fit of pique, fought two Emperor-level Honkai Beasts and was overwhelmed.

"Coming right now... Hmm? Looks like I can save some energy for the next Second Herrscher."

Welt Yang had previously watched the Gundam Exia join the battle before leaving, but now he could hear that familiar, beautiful, and melodious engine sound.

Then, Welt Yang pointed his right index finger, creating a small repulsive field between Siegfried and the two Emperor-class Honkai Beasts, separating them:

"Siegfried, lie down."

"What?! Holy crap! It's that robot!"

Without hesitation, Siegfried used the momentum to roll and crawl backward. The Exia that descended from the sky broke the sound barrier in an instant—a cone-shaped shock wave formed in the air around the entire machine. The two newly born Emperor-class Honkai Beasts didn't even have time to merge into one. They only had time to hear a loud "boom" before they were cut in half by the two solid swords!

He got up and killed him in one strike.

Chapter 10: Facing the Second Herrscher

Zhao Si truly hadn't expected that killing an Emperor-level Honkai Beast would be easier than dealing with the lower-level Honkai Beast horde he had just dealt with.

Upon arriving at their destination, Welt Yang used Eden's Star to control the field, Exusiai swooped down and accelerated her sword swing, and then the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Ashura was unleashed.

Oh, it hasn't been named yet at this point. Judging by its appearance, it can only be nicknamed Twin Honkai Beast. In the future, it will become the fusion material for those twin stars.
