NIKKE, When the Milky Way Blossoms

—Inside her body, there are actually two Niki cores. She can use part of the power of the other core to greatly enhance the body's performance in a short period of time.

The CEO of Ingrid named this appropriation behavior the "Little Red Riding Hood Model".

As for what kind of aftereffects will occur after activating Little Red Riding Hood mode, Lapi doesn't know. Perhaps he will be slowly possessed by the personality data remaining in the core.

It cannot be ruled out that one's own thinking may change.

Even Mana repeatedly warned that unless it was a life-or-death situation, it was strictly forbidden to activate the other core.

So...should we enable it?

Just as Lapi hesitated, Phoenix, who was running towards him carrying Yuni, suddenly realized why the Death Tyrant had retreated back to the valley.

—There was no intelligent Lecher nearby, because this mechanical spider wasn't retreating at all!

"Attack the right joint!"

The man yelled at the top of his lungs, as if afraid that the members on the voice channel hadn't heard him clearly.

"Don't let it block the valley, or none of us will be able to get through!!!"

To be honest, the lieutenant's statement was logically very disjointed, and several Nikkis, including Mihara and Diesel, simply couldn't understand what their commander was saying in a short time.

Only Lapi and Marian, who had considerable combat experience, could immediately understand what Phoenix was trying to say.

They are currently positioned in the blind spot of the tyrant's abdomen because both are on level ground. However, if the tyrant were to choose to climb the cliff face of the valley, the so-called blind spot would temporarily disappear.

Admittedly, the tyrant hiding behind the cliff cannot be attacked, but they also cannot leave this place.

If the two sides can maintain a distance of three or four hundred meters, the giant mechanical spider can easily climb back up and use its fully charged laser cannon to launch a devastating attack on the squadron.

We can't let it go down the valley!

Boom boom boom——! ! !

As soon as Phoenix finished speaking, a sea of ​​fire erupted at the connection point between the torso and legs of the Death Tyrant, a response from Anis and Tia to the lieutenant.

Then, as the sea of ​​fire subsided, the translucent honeycomb energy shield was revealed to everyone, mercilessly mocking all their efforts.

——Insufficient firepower.

The entire battle lasted less than a minute, and with Niki's firepower concentrated on the spider's tentacles, the Death Tyrant's shield energy was still plentiful, making it completely unafraid of a few grenades and rockets.

How to do?

Just a second ago, our side had the upper hand...

Faced with this desperate situation, the lieutenant first nodded and looked at the unconscious Yuni in his arms, and then, as if by telepathy, raised his head and met the eyes of Lapi not far away.

There is no other way.

Faced with absolute defense, even the most ingenious tactics seem so pale and laughable.

He really did his best...

Just as Phoenix was accepting the harsh reality and preparing to nod to Labi...

Six beams of purple-gold light, seemingly capable of cleaving space, descended from the sky, enveloping the top of the Death Tyrant's body.

Then, the sonic boom that broke the sound barrier arrived late, like a bolt from the blue sky, echoing across the azure dome.

The sudden attack forced the energy shield to flicker wildly and fade rapidly at a visible speed. However, just when the unsuspecting squadron members thought the Death Tyrant's shield was about to break, the six beams of purple-gold light suddenly vanished without a trace...

boom--! boom--! boom--!

Immediately, a series of explosive gunshots rang out, completely erasing the last glimmer of light from the energy shield and even tearing the Death Tyrant's laser turret to shreds.

Who?

The man who had witnessed the true strength of the Goddess Force was not surprised by this, but instead looked up towards the south in the direction of the gunshot.

Under the sunlight

More than 100 meters in the air,

The figure, resembling a six-winged angel, was backlit by the dazzling, intense light, making its face obscured.

air force???

Gazing at Nikki rising from the sky in the distance, the lieutenant subconsciously murmured a name, a name that once belonged to the Goddess Unit, a name that shouldn't be uttered at this time and in this place.

"Dorothy?"

The words were spoken in the blink of an eye!

The moment Phoenix uttered those three damn words, the beautiful figure that had been hovering in the sky just a second ago instantly appeared in front of him, dominating his vision with her looks and body.

Dark purple hair resembling lilac, a tactical outfit of purple and black, and three pairs of incomprehensible, shimmering gold floating wings.

It's Isabel...

...Is it that paranoid, yandere stalker?!

"Dorothy...Dorothy..."

Upon hearing the lieutenant mistake her for a seductive slut, the girl's voice was icy cold, just like her eyes.

"So, you've been hesitant to marry me because you still have feelings for Dorothy?"

Someone: "...?"

All the Nikis: "???"

Chapter 244 Now he's really going to be taken back and forced into prostitution.

If the Grim Reaper had a personality, it would most likely be driven to impotent rage by the lack of human attention right now.

Unfortunately, it has no personality.

Just like Phoenix calling the wrong girl's name, there's no going back for him when he's filled with regret.

The Ark refers to Niki, who disobeys central command and fights Leitch alone on the ground, as "Pilgrims".

However, there is also a division of power among pilgrims.

For example, the two members of the Goddess Squad, Red Lotus and White Snow, although some people call them the "Pioneer" squad, strictly speaking, they each have their own ideas. They can't be considered to have gone their separate ways, but they rarely cooperate with each other anymore, so they can't really be considered a squad.

Isabel, on the other hand, belongs to another pilgrim faction—the "Inheritors."

Putting aside these troublesome historical issues, let's just talk about this woman named Isabella. Her personal story in the game is so creepy that Lieutenant Phoenix can't forget it.

There was nothing we could do; the other person was a complete lunatic.

Isabelle's dream is to start a family, to find love, and to live a warm and loving life together as a family.

It's very simple, isn't it?

So what happens when someone like that accidentally develops severe paranoia?

She would stalk an exceptionally outstanding man who fits her preferences; she would fantasize that they had once made vows of eternal love; she would try to suppress any man who got close to her fiancé.

And all of this can even happen if the target doesn't know her at all.

Someone is the best example.

"First of all, thank you so much for saving us." Phoenix, who already had a bad feeling about things going wrong, forced a reasonably natural smile and said:

"However... this seems to be our first meeting? I don't seem to know you, ma'am."

Oh! Right, we haven't dealt with that tyrant Lecher yet, I..."

Swish-! ! !

Before Phoenix could finish speaking, several beams of light shot out and pierced the core of the Death Tyrant in the blink of an eye, completely destroying it.

Squeak, squeak—!!

A grating, teeth-grinding screech erupted from the tyrannical Death's body as it was about to collapse. Seeing the massive object about to crash down, Lapi and the others were about to urge their commander to leave when, in the instant they turned around, Isabel had already forcibly scooped up their lieutenant…

"and many more!"

When Labi spoke up to stop them, when Anis and Marianne gritted their teeth and raised their guns, when Mihara tried to establish a shared sense of pain with them...

Whoosh-!

The woman protecting Phoenix's neck bypassed the Grim Reaper's body in the next second and shot vertically into the sky.

Considering the safety of the man's internal organs, Isabel intentionally reduced her speed significantly while flying at high altitude.

Even so, she easily escaped Mihara's pain-sharing distance and eagerly flew to their love nest with her fiancé.

……

Boom boom boom——!!!

The Tyrant Rachel, weighing tens or even hundreds of tons, crashed solidly onto the snowfield, the impact almost like an earthquake.

Christine, who reacted the fastest and was the most agile, carried the unconscious Eunice and escaped the danger zone in the first instant.

Then, Lhapi, Naja, Marian and others broke through the tsunami composed of ice crystals and successfully reunited.
