Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

You two bastards, don't come here dressed up like that to save me!

Okay, you can save me dressed up like this, but don't fabricate this kind of identity.

I still have some sense of shame!

“Zero, you came... um... just in time.” At this point, Ye Lan could only respond.

"Lady Theresa, it seems this is about to cause a diplomatic incident."

Rita's figure is so striking that you can tell at a glance that one is Liu Bai and the other is Huang Quan.

These damn team members of ours... they really got taken down quickly.

"Uuuuuuu..."

Although she said she wasn't afraid, when the time actually came, Theresa still hesitated.

After all, she's not a real child.

But after a brief hesitation, Theresa made up her mind.

"No, even if it's a diplomatic incident, it was caused by Ye Lan's dereliction of duty."

Yes, this is crucial, a diplomatic incident?

This diplomatic incident is also your fault!

Why would I be a coward to you guys!

"Rita! Let's go! Let's take them down!"

"...as you command."

Repel...repel my ass!

I'm attacking the Yellow Springs?

Rita thought for a moment, then decisively rushed toward Liu Bai, who was holding a salted fish.

Pick the softest persimmon to squeeze, and take the opportunity to mock Liu Bai's outfit.

The Underworld?

Let Theresa fight; it's good to face reality.

clang--!

The sickle struck the salted fish with a crisp, snapping sound.

Rita's scythe was bounced high into the air.

"what?"

Theresa looked at the masked man holding a salted fish opposite Rita in shock.

Is this a sign of being at a disadvantage?

Are Yelan's subordinates really that strong?

However, in reality, although Ling Litaer used the blade this time, she was even more eager to slack off than last time.

The main move was a wide, sweeping attack, even aimed at Liu Bai's salted fish knife.

"This is the first time I've heard that you, Mr. Liu Bai, have such a talent for comedy," Rita said with a smile as she swung her scythe.

"Making others laugh is not a bad thing."

After the initial excitement of being a pervert for the first time, Liu Bai calmed down.

I know I might actually feel a little ashamed of what I'm wearing right now.

"Hmm~ Whose black stockings are they?"

"Of course it belongs to my sister—it's been washed clean."

"A genuine pervert."

"Even someone who's clean is a pervert?"

"Wearing black stockings on your head is already something no normal person would do, right? Even if you wash them clean, it's still just a minor flaw for you, Mr. Pervert?"

"As expected of the lolicon maid, she really knows her stuff."

"It is not gentlemanly to slander a lady with baseless accusations."

"You're wrong, I am a gentleman now."

At this moment, Theresa had no time to pay attention to Rita—because the person in front of her was even stronger!

Compared to the inaudible mutterings over there, the masked swordsman in front of them, dressed in a bizarre manner, was silent and terrifyingly strong.

Was I really using a 300-pound super-heavy weapon?

After only two brief exchanges, Theresa felt like she was the one wielding light weapons.

Every strike from that opponent's knife was incredibly heavy, even though the knife wasn't fully drawn; it was still scabbard attached.

He seemed completely at ease.

"..."

Huang Quan silently attacked the cross before him.

I don't want to talk; I feel a little ashamed.

This time, she just needs to play it safe. Liu Bai's requirement for her is that she doesn't need to use her full strength; she just needs to fight casually and stall the opponent.

In Liu Bai's words, it's about creating an intelligence gap.

But then again, this cross...

"Run now if you want! Zero Rated Power! Divine Grace Barrier!"

Theresa gritted her teeth and unleashed her trump card.

The feeling of not being able to win is completely different from when I faced an Emperor-level Honkai Beast back then.

Although there was a gap in strength back then, her intuition told her that she had a chance to win.

But now there's absolutely no chance of winning.

Is this person really Ye Lan's subordinate?

This is simply unheard of—it's incredibly powerful...

With Theresa's shout, the barrier that sealed off energy instantly unfolded.

Beside her, Rita kicked Liu Bai away.

...As expected, it's a killer mechanism.

After glancing at Liu Bai's condition, Huang Quan felt relieved, and then a look of "I didn't expect this" appeared in his eyes.

Although it's not in the form of a sword, its abilities are remarkably similar.

My body started to feel heavy... and the circulation of energy gradually slowed down.

No matter how many times you face the underworld, you can't help but marvel at how irrational this ability is.

I can't break free from it now.

【黄泉力10体12敏12力7体10敏10】

"…Are you kidding me?"

It can't be suppressed!

The opponent's strength has clearly decreased, but their attack speed has even increased!

But this is no big deal for Huang Quan at all.

She didn't use her full strength at all, except for using a little force.

Especially in terms of speed.

It's true that the barrier created by the opponent's cross reduced her potential, but the problem is that she never used her potential in the first place.

Even if her strength had genuinely decreased, her opponent still wouldn't be able to retaliate.

—If it's similar to what she remembers, this barrier will even suppress the user.

It can be understood that the "cross" is the true user of the skill.

But the cross... it really is a genius design.

Its enormous size makes it perfectly usable as a shield, and... can it also fire light spears?

Numerous long-range strikes... a complete offensive and defensive system...

Huang Quan began to retreat, avoiding the light spear that was locked onto him.

The longer the opponent stays outside the barrier, the more severely they are suppressed.

If the goal is to exchange lives, the other person will die first.

Moreover, this wasn't a fight to the death to begin with.

Theresa was also aware of this.

"Admit defeat, and Yelan will be returned to you!"

Theresa deliberately deactivated the barrier.

Having failed to force them back, she had no choice but to accept the attack; otherwise, the Undying Blade team members lying on the ground would suffer even more.

Theresa wasn't that cruel.

"However, you are not Yelan's subordinates at all, are you?"

With that level of skill, you'd be willing to be someone else's slave?

Do not make jokes.

After setting up the barrier, Theresa realized that the seemingly freakish swordsman in front of her was a ruthless man who could cut down Night Orchid like grass.

He was just pretending to be weak when he fought me before; a single Divine Grace Barrier immediately revealed his true colors.

Theresa's estimate was that this level of strength would require at least two major powers to work together, use all their trump cards, and pay a certain price to defeat it.

And you or your grandfather must be there—the other person's knife is not right.

"Is Kiana's disappearance related to you?"

Huang Quan didn't bother answering Theresa's question. He took Ye Lan with him, then turned around, picked up Liu Bai who had been kicked away by Rita, and left.

"...Ha, this is terrible."

Seeing Huang Quan leave, Theresa, who had not received an answer, breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground.

"Are you alright, Lady Theresa?"

"It's alright." Theresa let out a breath, trying to appear as if nothing had happened. "That person... was too strong, but..."

"but?"

"I don't know what the person you're fighting is like, but that swordswoman... her power source isn't Honkai energy."

"?"

Rita didn't understand what Theresa was saying for a moment.

"It means exactly what it says. Isolating Honkai energy isn't very effective. The energy system they're using seems to be different from ours..."

"Huang Quan, how does that barrier feel?" On the rooftop, Liu Bai, Ye Lan, and Huang Quan sat together.

"It's a bit troublesome... or rather, it's quite troublesome given the current situation."

亦散

Huang Quan frowned.

"We're not very compatible."
