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

Without the protection of GN particles, the GN Shield was completely consumed by the Judgment-class Honkai Beast, whose entire body was composed of Honkai energy. The hilts of the two GN beam swords remained forever on the Herrscher of the Void's imaginary barrier.

Exia's only weapons capable of causing effective damage are the GN Composite Gunblade on her right hand, the GN Solid Swords on her sides, and the hilt of the last beam sword on her rear skirt armor.

"Four swords are enough, but Benares' speed is still increasing."

According to Veda's observations, the speed of the dragon Benares is not yet at its limit. Like the Herrscher of the Void, it is still a newborn with enormous room for improvement. The darling of the Honkai is truly a uniquely blessed existence.

The semi-perpetual motion machine GN reactor was enough to sustain Exia in the air for ten days to half a month to fight Benares, but Zhao Si was not. He had only dealt with Benares for less than five minutes, and he was already more tired than in the two battles he had fought before.

The First Herrscher and the Second Herrscher were still locked in a battle of wits, a clash between modern military weaponry and spatial manipulation, but Zhao Si knew in his heart that Welt Yang could never be a match for Sirin. The First Herrscher was merely stalling for time, waiting for reinforcements from Anti-Entropy...

"boom!"

"Warning! Warning! Right leg nail injury rate 41.37%!"

Zhao Si's consciousness was slightly scattered. The giant tail of the dragon Benares, which was as long as its body, swept over, and its attack speed was almost twice that of five minutes ago. Exusiai barely managed to take off to dodge, but her right leg was still hit by the opponent. Even the GN particles that maintained the strength of the outer armor could not withstand this heavy blow, and the damaged area soared to more than 40%.

As a creation of pure Honkai energy, Benares's every attack is enchanted by +10. GN particles directly cancel out the Honkai energy in the tail. However, the tail can continue to attack until the GN particles covering the legs are exhausted. The E-carbon steel outer armor simply cannot withstand the enormous force of this attack.

It's tricky, extremely tricky. As long as Exusiai gets close, she will be attacked by Benares. The opponent is just like that Taimanin, with his sensitivity set to 3000+. In addition, Zhao Si himself is a complete rookie. Veda can analyze and predict Benares's actions, but his hand speed can't keep up.

A colossal creature with a total length of over two hundred meters, yet its body is unusually agile. Can collapse really explain everything?

Zhao Si couldn't help but grumble inwardly. The gap between him and Benares was widening. Melee-specialized mechs were not good at dealing with legendary creatures that could fly, release beams, and were incredibly fast. If he could bring a sniper rifle from the Angel of Strength, it would be much more comfortable than his current miserable escape.

[Dear host, you did not purchase.]

"I already knew that!"

As Zhao Si watched Benares relentlessly chasing after the car on the screen, he was already planning what he needed to do later.

At the very least, Zhao Si had to take this risk in order to eliminate the Second Herrscher's most powerful servant.

"Veda, translate what I said into Russian. I'm going to start mocking you in the public chat."

As Zhao Si fled, he didn't forget to turn on his megaphone. After dodging Benares's barrage of verbal attacks once again, Exusiai suddenly turned to face Benares:

"Hey! You stinking maggot over there, you've been chasing me for so long and still can't kill me, but your master is about to be beaten to death!"

The dragon head, poised to charge at Exusiai, immediately turned back to observe the Herrscher battlefield, only to discover that the Second Herrscher was overwhelming the humans in every wave of attacks. Realizing this, it prepared to turn and wag its tail—

“Trans-Am!!!”

As Zhao Si finished speaking, he unleashed Exusiai's last trump card, and Benares's tail only caught a red afterimage!

(BGM: TRANS - AM RAISER)

"Crack!"

With her right arm extended and the GN Greatsword in her left hand, Exusiai spun 360° in the air, severing nearly two-thirds of Benares's tail with both swords!

"Roar--"

Benares immediately unleashed a verbal attack, but this time it only hit the afterimage of Exusiai. The real Exusiai was already waiting directly above Benares, with green GN particles continuously emanating from the GN Refinery behind her, making Benares feel uncomfortable and wanting to escape.

At this moment, Exia's entire body glows red, and all the compressed, high-concentration GN particles accumulated in her body are completely released, enhancing her mobility and defensive capabilities, achieving three times the normal level of output.

Exusiai remained still, and Benares dared not move either. The instinct of a beast told him that this iron-clad "red man" was currently above him. His dragon eyes could only be fixed on the other, for any turn would leave a fatal opening for the other.

"This is Trans-Am..."

Feeling tightness in his chest and shortness of breath, with blood rushing to his head, Zhao Si's eyes were bloodshot. He almost lost control of the machine with just a simple spinning slash with his twin swords. He was barely able to keep the machine under control, relying entirely on his last bit of willpower to hold on.

It wasn't that he didn't want to press his advantage, but rather that Zhao Si's physical condition no longer allowed him to do so.

Tsk, still too weak. I was originally planning to easily get a triple kill and chop this Benares to pieces...

"Warning! Warning! Warning! An atomic bomb with an estimated yield of 5 tons of TNT is heading towards this area! [73] seconds remain until the bomb falls! Take cover immediately! Take cover immediately!"

Before setting off, the Anti-Entropy force had already increased its distance, extending the straight-line distance from the battlefield to 30 kilometers, in order to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the silver bullets.

Benares clearly sensed the threat as well. Ignoring the imminent threat, it turned and rushed to the Herrscher's battlefield, hoping to use its body to shield its master from the devastating weapon falling from the sky.

"How could we possibly let you pass!"

Exia, her entire body glowing red, rushed up to Benares's back, plunging the GN Solid Sword in her left hand into the junction of his neck and body. With her right hand, she released the GN Gunblade, grabbed another GN Short Sword, and plunged it into Benares's body again. At the same time, Exia gripped both swords tightly, her GN Reactor on her back was fully released, and she charged in the opposite direction from Benares!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"Roar--"

As the dragon's body corroded the blades of the two GN physical swords, Exusiai left a wound on Benares's back that was so clear that one could see the snow below. Benares's body was cleaved in two by Exusiai's sword!

At this moment, the dragon was left with only its neck drooping and its body cut in two. A huge amount of Honkai energy poured out from the wound. Dragging these pieces of corpse, it flapped its wings heavily and continued to fly towards its master.

Exusiai had already reached Benares's head, her right hand wielding the GN Greatsword, raised high above her head:

"Farewell, you wicked dragon!"

The GN Greatsword slashed down, cleaving Benares's gaping abyssal maw and entire dragon head in two without any resistance!

At this point, Benares, the Judgment-class Honkai Beast cut in two symmetrical halves, has no chance of being resurrected.

"Warning! Warning! Warning! An atomic bomb with an estimated yield of 5 tons of TNT is heading towards this area! [24] seconds remain until the bomb falls! Take cover immediately! Take cover immediately!"

In a race against time, Zhao Si immediately pushed the control stick, accelerating to Mach 3 within 10 seconds and flying towards the Anti-Entropy camp.

Even without reaching Exia's maximum speed, Zhao Si still felt as if his body was being kneaded by an invisible giant hand. Even though he was wearing the Celestial Being combat suit, which was an anti-G suit, his vision was blurred, his heart was pounding, and it seemed that he was about to be annihilated at any moment.

Faintly, Zhao Si seemed to hear the miserable screams coming from the Second Herrscher in the distance, but that was impossible. He was already at least 13 kilometers away from the battlefield, and the other party could not possibly catch up with him.

"No, this is not an illusion..."

Finally, less than 10 kilometers from the Anti-Entropy camp, Veda temporarily took over the machine, replacing Zhao Si who was unconscious in the cockpit, shutting down the three red lights and slowing down. Only then did the sound of the silver bullets exploding reach Zhao Si's ears, waking him from his unconscious state.

"I... survived."

In the final moments before falling into another coma, Zhao Si opened the cockpit door, and then he got a long-awaited rest.

PS: Hehehe, next up is the most exciting part – the card drawing! Actually, I've already drawn my own card in the group chat, and some group members even witnessed it. My life has been arranged by the Dice Girl.

If you want to see the gacha pulls, you can join our group chat. We can even tag me to remind me not to slack off!

Chapter 12: I am a man, I am a man!

[Ultraman, wake up! I'm Shaflin!]

"This is the second time. I really don't see the point in you waking me up like this."

[But it's very ceremonial, Master, don't you like it?]

"do not like."

[I won't change it even if I don't like it~]

"...You really are a sword graveyard."

Zhao Li didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he tried to open his eyes, well, he couldn't. His body was so sore and aching that even breathing was an ordeal.

Wait a minute, isn't this Trams-Am that I'm using? Why does it feel like I'm accessing Alaya consciousness, with pain all over the place?

Oh, so he was able to drive the Exia at Mach 3 at the age of thirteen? That's fine then.

Since he had nothing better to do, Zhao Si checked the system message board, which contained the messages the system had sent after he fell unconscious, following its programmed instructions:

"Killing a Benares gives you five gacha pulls? I'm not surprised by the A-rank Valkyries of the Snow Wolf Squad, but what's with the last one, Raiden Mei? I remember the cook was born in '97, so she's not even three years old yet. What's with this 'you can tell what a person will be like at three' thing?"

The four members of the Snow Wolf Squad—Shub Nicholas, Salome Jocanan, Patrick Highsmith, and Shigure Kira—all have deep connections with Benares.

Salome Jhokanan died first at the hands of Benares, and Shub Nicholas also died on the spot during the subsequent siege, her injuries so severe that even the ability of a small cheat to heal itself could not save her.

Patrick Highsmith, although he died in the Honkai Beast Tide, was also led by Benares to besiege the Tower of Babel.

Although Shigure Kira avenged her comrade-in-arms by severely injuring Benares and causing him to lose consciousness, she herself was parasitized by the alien life form, Black Sugar, from the Hughes clan, which was attached to Shub Nicholas. While her life was being kept afloat, she was also transferred to the World Bubble.

With Benares's complete demise, the four members of the Snow Wolf Squad will not only survive the Second Honkai Impact, but will also be able to start a new life in the real world.

Zhao Si recalled Theresa's promise to build a school for Valkyries after the Second Honkai Impact and invite members of the Snow Wolf Squad to teach there. He estimated that the future trajectory of these four would change because of Theresa's promise.

As for Raiden Mei, the fact that she lost one of Benares's corpses to be used to create Kurikara will probably give birth to her own Judgment-class Honkai Beast. As for the deeper connection, Zhao Si hasn't figured it out yet, hmm...

"Is changing your mount worth one gacha pull?"

[This concerns the three starter families, so this is already a significant change, host.]

Zhao Si wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up.

Anyway, the number of draws is given by the system, and the interpretation right is with the other party, so let them do whatever they want.

"By the way, what does this 'has attracted the attention of the world's corrective forces, please take precautions to protect your safety' mean? No, you coward, you even put up a disclaimer that there are no resurrection coins."

[Well, this is something that can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words. We think you'll naturally understand what world correction power is when you get into trouble yourself.]

"...The damn Yan family shovel, I will burn your counting book."

Zhao Si really didn't know this time that drawing a card would attract the attention of the world's corrective force. Just hearing that term didn't sound good, and the system seemed to have no intention of helping him.

I have a feeling that the future is bleak for Purple Doro.
