The deafening explosion and heatwave reignited the excitement of the already concluding performance. Mo Mo wiped his face, looking slightly disheveled. Looking in the direction the missile had come from, a wisp of smoke still lingered on the muzzle of the cannon in Heavy Bunny's hand. "Bronya, are you crazy?!" Kiana shouted incredulously at Bronya, "Do you know what you're doing?"

Ignoring Kiana's questioning without even the slightest reaction, Bronya silently raised her hand, and together with the Heavy Bunny behind her, aimed the cannon at Momo and Wendy beside him once again. "Sister Bronya, why?" Because she's now powerless... Momo frowned, gripping the hilt of his sword again. "Don't overthink it. We went through all this trouble not to put on a show for you."

To avoid all previous efforts going to waste, Momo had no choice but to step forward and defend himself. "If I really wanted to harm you, I could have ended your life with a single strike just now." Looking at the blade that Momo had already partially drawn, Wendy suddenly felt that what Momo said made a lot of sense. "Good to understand." Momo also breathed a sigh of relief. The most urgent thing now was to keep that little girl who was firing on friendly forces in check. That Anti-Entropy guy, or rather, that Cocolia guy, always had to choose times like these to cause trouble. "Kiana, Mei, don't interfere." Looking at Bronya, who was in a state of mental instability, Momo shouted to the other side, "Make Bronya quiet down, I can handle it alone."

Seemingly in response to Mo Mo's confident demeanor, Bronya suddenly underwent a transformation. Her neat uniform was gradually replaced by black armor, and in the blink of an eye, Bronya completed the transformation from Valkyrie Chariot to the corrupted alien black core. One-click sublimation. But even so, Mo Mo remained fearless. "Just a Bronya, even if you're corrupted, it's impossible for you alone." As if deliberately refuting Mo Mo's words, several huge robots suddenly appeared from the void and landed on the ground. "Anti-Entropy's forces?" Their highly recognizable design made it immediately clear who they were—Titan robots from Anti-Entropy. "Everyone, surrender!" In the wilderness where the situation was rapidly changing, a once arrogant voice rang out. [Oh ho, it seems things are getting interesting, Mo Mo,] The system didn't seem to feel any urgency; instead, it watched everything unfold with great interest.

"Thank you all for your hard work. I will never forget your contributions to the retrieval of the Fourth Herrscher." The arrogant voice continued, its whereabouts unknown. "But now, it's my turn to reap the final spoils of victory."

"Don't joke around!" Kiana angrily drew her dual pistols, but before she could make a move, two mechs blocked her path. "I advise you not to make any rash moves, or I can't guarantee your lives will be safe." The arrogant voice sounded extremely fearless, as if victory was already in hand. "Hmm...it seems my luck is quite good. Besides the Fourth Herrscher, I can also recruit the Third Herrscher at the same time."

"Hey, I won't allow you to lay a hand on Mei!" The arrogant voice suddenly turned incredibly cold. "Looks like there's a little troublemaker in there who needs a bit of a lesson..."

The two mechs blocking Kiana's path suddenly glowed with a dangerous red light, raising their massive, heavy iron fists high. "Who's afraid of who?" Before Kiana could even express her resolve, a figure flashed in front of her, drawing a long sword from its waist. A flash of cold light, followed by the sharp, metallic sound of cutting through metal. When she regained her senses, the Titan's raised fist was already gone. "Has my presence become so weak that I'm ignored?" Mo Mo stood in front of Kiana, flicking his Sakura Fubuki sword. "Don't get too cocky, you coward who doesn't even dare to show your face." "You're the one who's cocky." The arrogant voice seemed insulted. "Or do you think you can take down all my mech units by yourself?" "Can't I?" Mo Mo smiled easily, countering, "It doesn't seem like it'll be difficult at all."

"Of course." The arrogant voice, instead of being angry, chuckled. "Perfect for me to test the combat capabilities of the latest tactical mech. I believe you're qualified... Thank you for your understanding. I was just thinking of sharpening my sword anyway, even though it's just some scrap metal, it should do the trick." Mo Mo, carrying the Sakura Blizzard, fearlessly walked step by step towards the Titan. "Kiana, you and Mei—take a step back a little, or you might get caught in the crossfire."

"Hey, don't be reckless!" Kiana's shouts didn't stop Mo Mo from approaching Titan's attack range step by step. "Hmph, you're courting death. Taste the power of the latest tactical mech! Titan punch!" At the arrogant command, the one-armed Titan swung its remaining heavy punch. However, the whistling punch only hit air. Mo Mo had vanished from his spot and reappeared behind him.

"1, 2, 3... are there nine more? That means we've completed 1/10. Very good." Mo Mo's paused steps resumed. "Now the game officially begins."

The Titan behind him, still in a fist-pumping stance, slowly split in two along the knife scar across his waist. Then, a deafening roar, symbolizing the start of the game, exploded across the open ground.

103. The strongest Valkyrie, Durandal, will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds.

...In the gradually picking up breeze, Mo Mo flicked his sword, tilted his head slightly, and looked sideways at the last remaining giant robot on the wide open space. "Looks like you're the last one." Without any fancy or unnecessary maneuvers, Mo Mo maintained his usual concise style, using a diagonal slash to carve an indelible mark on the charging Titan.

"GAME CLEAR!" A deafening roar echoed across the open air. Several large English words (not really) suddenly appeared behind Mo Mo as he emerged from the explosion. He finally stopped his leisurely stroll and casually sheathed his sword. A charred piece of iron, its origin unknown, rolled to Mo Mo's feet, but didn't even attract his attention for a moment. "There's nothing I can't cut." His self-talk, though lacking in weight, exuded unparalleled confidence. People, trees, rocks, even metal—none of them were a problem. This was the uncontrollable confidence Mo Mo possessed once he picked up Sakura Fubuki. [So you're not some overseas-trained surgeon...] The system retorted again. [But whatever, that one should be the last one, right?] [If no new guys come in to cause trouble, then it's fine.] Mo Mo finally turned to look behind him. Unspeakable mecha wreckage... Several embers still burned across the open plains, visible behind Mo Mo after he landed. The ancient figure, sword in hand, standing amidst the countless wrecked mechs and their bonfires, possessed an surreal beauty. No words were needed; the sheer brutality of the battlefield spoke volumes about the battle that had just taken place: one man, one sword, against ten well-equipped, technologically advanced tactical mechs. In the end, that slender figure easily secured victory. It proved that in this absurd world, the notion that cold weapons couldn't defeat firearms was merely a convenient excuse. Look, he annihilated those robots in a flurry of blows! He closed the distance to their attacks, dodged their heavy punches, and then sliced ​​them in two. Words could hardly do it justice; in short, within the Titan Squad, not a single mech could withstand two of Mo Mo's strikes—they were all instantly obliterated. "Oh, right, I almost forgot about that." "Mo Mo seemed to suddenly remember something. "Hey, you coward who doesn't even dare to show your face, are you still there? Since just now, Cocolia, who was hiding somewhere, had lost the motivation to speak. "I bet your next sentence will be 'How... how is that possible?'" After looking around, Mo Mo guessed to himself. "How..." The voice that rang out again was only the beginning. "Oh, so you're here." Mo Mo asked rather smugly, "How do you evaluate the fact that your ten latest tactical mechs couldn't even beat me alone?"

As Mo Mo spoke, he kicked away an unidentified piece of metal at his feet. "What the hell are you talking about?!" As if struck on a sore spot, his arrogant voice suddenly turned furious. "Bronya, my daughter, get rid of him right now!"

"What did you say?" Mo Mo shook his hand and asked. Just as Cocolia was furiously slamming the table, Bronya, who had become emotionless under her intervention, had already fainted in Mo Mo's arms. "I didn't quite catch that, except for that 'refined and easygoing' part. Could you say it again?" "You!" She could do nothing but vent her excess anger. No matter what, it couldn't change the fact that her carefully prepared tactical mecha squad for capturing the Third and Fourth Herrschers, along with Bronya, had been easily taken care of by some guy who popped out of nowhere. Could she accept that? That was a rare machine that cost hundreds of millions to build; even she herself didn't have many of them. And you'd ruined them all. No wonder Cocolia, hiding in some unknown place, even wanted to kill Mo Mo. "I'm sorry, these seemingly expensive lumps of iron can't be returned. Don't bother looking for me, I can't afford to compensate them." Mo Mo said, holding the unconscious Bronya with his head held high. "How about you come out and discuss the compensation issue with me face to face?" His slightly teasing tone seemed to be trying to provoke Cocolia, who was hiding behind the scenes. But despite her impotent rage, she hadn't lost her last bit of rationality and actually abandoned everything to have a real fight with Mo Mo, one that was completely predictable.

"Who...who exactly are you?" Cocolia asked, forcibly suppressing all her anger in a calm tone. "A nobody who doesn't even dare show their face has no right to ask this question." Mo Mo's lips curled into a disdainful smile. "If you want to know, then stand before me yourself. Very well, I'll admit I've lost this time. I'll see how long you can keep swaggering around." "Cocolia seemed to have calmed down. "Next time, I'll definitely show you our true... usual harsh words." Before she could finish, the red symbol in the sky, representing the communication connection, suddenly disappeared, as if the communication had been abruptly cut off. "Hmph, you get so angry when you touch a sore spot." Mo Mo muttered to himself, turning around while holding Bronya in his arms. "Kiana, Mei, I... what's with that look?" Mei turned her head away from her almost piercing gaze, scratching her cheek rather awkwardly. "Mei just felt... um... right, Mo Mo, what did you do to Bronya?" After stammering for a long time, Mei still couldn't get a straight answer, so she could only change the subject by mentioning Bronya, who had been knocked unconscious and returned to her original form by Mo Mo. "Nothing much." Mo Mo handed the unconscious Bronya to Mei and explained very naturally, "Just a backhand slap." "Wow, that was fast!" Mei exclaimed sincerely. "The technique of controlling the power perfectly without harming Bronya is truly amazing. No wonder you're Mo!"

Okay, let's leave it at that. It's quite comfortable for him to be blowing it.

"Hey, how's the situation over there?" Without any warning, Himeko's voice rang out. "Ah, reporting to Major Himeko, everything is fine here, and the Gem of Desire is also safe and sound." Mei glanced at Wendy, who was sitting quietly and obediently to the side, and replied, "What happened? I have good news and bad news." Himeko's voice sounded very serious. "The bad news is that Schicksal headquarters somehow learned that the Fourth Herrscher had been born in the New Zealand Oceania branch, and half an hour ago dispatched a force led by the strongest level 5 Valkyrie, Durandal, to suppress it. They've already arrived in New Zealand!" "What?" Although she didn't quite understand the meaning behind this, Himeko's very serious tone still made Mei's expression change involuntarily. "And the good news?" "The good news is that Durandal's forces and Anti-Entropy's forces have collided and are currently engaged in fierce fighting." The information revealed by Himeko left everyone present looking at each other in bewilderment. They seemed to understand why Cocolia's communications had been suddenly cut off earlier. "Then, Major Himeko, what do you mean?" "While they're entangled with Anti-Entropy's forces, quickly take Wendy and move to another safe place. We'll come pick you up now." "Himeko quickly issued the order, 'We must take Wendy away before Durandal, otherwise all your efforts will be in vain.'" "Understood, Major Himeko, we'll evacuate immediately!" Mei hurriedly said to the others, "Everyone, time is running out, let's get out of here quickly."

"Wait! Something's happened!"

Before anyone could even take their first step in their escape, Himeko's voice rang out again. "I take back what I said earlier. Now I have some bad news to tell you." Himeko's words flowed without pause. "Yuran Wan'er is already on her way to your location!"

104. First meeting, Durandal

"Youlan Wan'er has already headed towards your direction!" Himeko's urgent voice overturned all previous instructions. "It's expected that we'll make contact with you soon."

Himeko's brief words caused almost everyone present to change their expressions. "Why did they suddenly start moving?" Mo Mo blurted out before anyone else could, "Wasn't it supposed to be the Anti-Entropy guys blocking her way? Could it be that the Anti-Entropy force was wiped out in such a short time?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Even if Anti-Entropy's forces are weak, they couldn't have been wiped out so quickly. Or maybe they just came out for a team-building trip and didn't bring many weapons? [Maybe it's because you dismantled all the weapons they brought.]" The system also gave its unreliable deduction. "[I only dismantled ten of their machines.]" Mo Mo innocently wiped his hands, which were free of any "bloodstains" from Sakura Fubuki. "[Could I have destroyed their entire inventory?] I won't take the blame for that." "The Destiny fleet is still engaged in battle with Anti-Entropy, and the situation is extremely tense. I don't know why Youlan Yuan'er didn't stay behind to command but instead went alone." Himeko explained quickly, "Wait, who are you? I've never heard this voice before. Mei, do you have someone else over there? Can you send over the footage?"

"Never mind, now's not the time to worry about that. We're running out of time. Get out of here as fast as you can..." Himeko cursed under her breath, "Damn it, she's too fast." "We understand, over!" Mei quickly cut off the communication as well. "Mo, Kiana, and Wendy, we have to get out of here right now! Wendy, can you still move?" "Now..." Wendy, having lost her earlier rage, hesitated, glancing at the Sakura Fubuki in his hand, then stopping herself. Everything was left unsaid. The battle situation was changing rapidly, and Mei certainly wouldn't blame Mo for being ruthless at such a crucial moment. She simply carried the still unconscious Bronya on her back, then turned to Kiana, "Kiana, Wendy is in your care. Let's go... Mo, what are you doing?"

"Can you feel it?" Mo Mo turned his head and squinted at the distance. "It seems like it's coming soon." "Then... you're looking at it backwards. She's coming from the other side." Mo Mo silently changed direction and continued to gaze at the distance where no one had appeared yet. "I'll cover the rear. You guys go first." Mo Mo's tone was somewhat solemn. "Otherwise, if we retreat like this, we'll be caught up sooner or later." The difference between two fully equipped B-rank Valkyries and one lightly equipped S-rank Valkyrie was undeniable. Or should I hold Qi in my left hand, Ya in my right hand, and carry... cough cough on my back? This kind of scene seems to have a strong impact. Ya pursed her lips. The urgent situation did not leave her time to hesitate. "I know. Mo Tong, be careful." "Huh?" Kiana exclaimed in surprise, "Mei, you're just going to let him do this recklessly?" "I believe that if it's Mo-kun, there won't be any problems." Mei nodded firmly, "I trust Mo-kun's sword!"

Such trust is unexpectedly hurtful. "You must come back alive." After uttering those last words, Mei decisively and without hesitation carried Bronya away. Completely disregarding her own safety, she planted a flag on Momo's back without a word. "Ugh." Kiana gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and turned to leave. "Kiana, wait a minute." Then Momo called out to her. "Is there something you want to tell me?" Kiana turned her head, a slightly strange look on her face. "Not with you, I have something to say to Wendy. Me?" A question mark appeared on Wendy's face. "There's been too little time, I haven't had a proper chat with you yet. If there's a chance, let's continue later." Ignoring Kiana's eye roll, Momo continued, "Don't forget my words. Even if you are a Herrscher, as long as you retain a human heart, one day this power will be completely at your disposal, instead of a shackle binding you. You will not lack people who treat you kindly. P... Don't lose hope again." After a moment of silence, Wendy nodded gently, "I understand, so please come back safely."

"Are the flags free? You're just sticking them all over me like this, are you going to take responsibility? [It's because of your tone of giving your last words, even I think you're doomed.]" the system said disdainfully. "Are you done yet? You're so slow." Kiana interrupted impatiently, "It's not like there won't be another chance, why are you making it sound like a life-or-death farewell. Congratulations to Mo Mo for getting 1 flag." "You guys should hurry up and go, she'll be here soon." Feeling that he had said enough, Mo Mo shook his hand, turned around, and said with his back to the two of them, "I'll catch up with you soon." Kiana didn't say anything more, and turned away just as decisively. Only a muffled "Be careful" drifted into Mo Mo's ears. [So now, I'll have to see just how strong this strongest Valkyrie in the entire world is.] In a daze, a black dot appeared in the distance of the wilderness. [She's here.] The system alerted. [I see her.] Mo Mo didn't choose to draw Sakura Blizzard, but instead drew another card. [Let's prepare to welcome her.]

A golden-haired figure, clad in armor, sped along, kicking up dust and stones in her wake. Her objective was now almost within reach. Neither the horned beasts nor the dead earth could slow her pace. She finally stopped when a figure floating in the sky, its back to her, came into view. "You've finally come, human," the figure in the sky said, flapping its emerald wings and turning around, its arrogant gaze sweeping down upon the figure below.

"You've been here for a long time." [She is... Bianca Ata... Gina?] Mo Mo thought to himself, now wearing a completely different face. [Never mind, Durandal will do.] "You are the Fourth Herrscher?" Durandal asked. From her, Mo Mo sensed a difference that was unlike any Valkyrie he had ever seen before. "That's right, you're here to find me, aren't you?" Mo Mo readily "admitted." "You're here to kill me?" Regardless of Durandal's purpose, as long as Mo Mo's purpose of stalling for time was achieved, the mission would be complete, and then he just needed to find a way to escape. "If you cooperate, please come with me. The destination is the Schicksal Headquarters." Durandal believed Mo Mo's self-introduction without the slightest doubt. "If I promise not to do anything reckless and to stay obedient, will you give up on capturing me?" Instead of answering Durandal's question, Mo Mo asked a completely different question.

"This isn't something I can decide." Durandal's answer remained serious, even when she was facing a "ruthless" Herrscher. "Then there's nothing more to say... The wind blew across this land—and with it, Mo Mo's hair. It's not bad chatting with you. Human, state your name. You're a decent fellow, deserving to be remembered." Durandal replied calmly, holding a massive earthen lance that appeared out of nowhere. "You only need to remember this name." "Durandal... I remember." Mo Mo's lips curled into a wild smile. "Then, let's begin." A gale, which shouldn't have been there, swept across the vast wilderness.

Chapter Recommendation: "Sexy Master, Online Rescue"

Don't ask, just time it.

————————————————————————

In the classroom, the silver-haired, golden-eyed dragon witch teacher is explaining problems to the elementary school students.

Suddenly, a young boy wearing a red scarf stood up and asked, "Teacher, is the 'fantasy apocalypse' described in the book real?"

"Huh? Of course it's true, I've experienced it myself." Clearly, she didn't have the awareness of a teacher.

Upon hearing the teacher's answer, the boy's eyes lit up. "What about that savior? Is the savior real? And what about all those legendary heroes under his command!"

The teacher was stunned. It took her a long time to recover before she said softly, "Yes, it's all true."

105. A troublesome intruder, disrupting the rhythm.

The Herrscher of Wind. As the fourth Herrscher to arrive in this generation, she possesses the ability to create ideal fluids at will. This exaggerated yet terrifying ability is truly chilling. Although... such a high-level ability sounds quite difficult to understand, this extraordinary ability, in Wendy's hands, has become just the tip of the iceberg of monotonously controlling the degree of "wind," which is somewhat regrettable. [What are you pretending for? Regrettable, huh?] The system grumbled rudely, [As if you're the same as her.] [What does this have to do with me?] [You've been researching and tinkering with the Herrscher of Wind's abilities since just now.] The system pointed out the first problem – to the point: Do you even understand what an ideal fluid is now? Do you know how to use this ability? [Excuse me? Are you serious?] Mo Mo raised his hand and suddenly waved it, sending two swift tornadoes hurtling towards Youlan Yuan'er, who was charging towards him with a black and white cavalry spear, trying to temporarily halt her unstoppable advance. [It's only been a few minutes, and you want me to learn something so advanced? Do you think my brain is a computer? I don't even know what a fluid is!] [Then what were you babbling about earlier? Aren't you and Wendy equally shameless?] The system cursed inwardly in annoyance. [You used to have the nerve to brag to me about how good you were at studying? Good my ass! You wait and see...] Okay, listen carefully. A fluid is a substance that can flow; it is an object that will continuously deform under any tiny shear force. Fluid is a general term for liquids and gases. It possesses good flowability, compressibility, and viscosity. [It is composed of a large amount of...]

[What kind of lesson are you giving me now! Is this the time to memorize encyclopedias?] Seeing Yulan Wan'er easily break through the tornado with her knight's lance, Mo Mo's expression darkened slightly. He retreated a few steps and then continued to hurl wind blades at her without stopping. [Her spearhead is almost stabbing me, last-minute cramming won't help, honey.] [What else can I do? Do you think you, with your less-than-ideal skills, can defeat her?] The system's voice sounded quite unconfident. [I feel it's extremely unlikely.] [Is there even a need to think about it? Of course not.] Mo Mo readily admitted this embarrassing fact. The opponent was the strongest S-rank Valkyrie of Destiny, wielding the Divine Key, and was no less formidable even against a fully-powered Herrscher. Let alone someone like himself who hadn't even fully grasped her abilities. Unless that swift-moving girl could suddenly trip over a stone and lose her weapon, creating an opportunity for him. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, the chances of winning in this state were practically zero. [But I have no reason to defeat her.] Mo Mo then thought, [I just need to stall until Kiana and the others are safe before figuring out a way to escape.] When things get tough, I can just run away; a strategic retreat is not shameful at all, and it's quite effective. But before that, I still have duties to fulfill. "What's wrong? Is that all the strength you have?" To divert Youlan Wan'er's attention, Mo Mo continued to mock, "Isn't Youlan Wan'er the strongest S-rank Valkyrie in Destiny right now? I haven't even used my full strength yet, and you're already done for? [Although mockery is indeed a good way to attract hatred... but Mo, aren't you worried that she'll unleash her full power and kill you in one move?] The system's voice sounded somewhat worried. ...The system's concern made Mo Mo pay more attention to Youlan Wan'er's reaction. Although she hadn't been able to defeat Mo Mo for a long time, she didn't seem to be at a disadvantage at all. Even after being so contemptuous, she didn't react at all. She remained calm, silent, and persistent, like a lifeless chariot relentlessly charging towards the fleeing Mo Mo. This was the best solution she had come up with in the shortest amount of time. "That's what I should say back to you." "Never a single wind blade could cross that massive earthen spear and get close to Durandal, allowing her to remain completely at ease and calm," the Fourth Herrscher thought. "Is this all you can do? If so, it's truly disappointing." "Tch." Mo Mo's expression suddenly turned somber.

To make his performance seem more natural. [But why does it feel like you're just playing yourself?]

Mo Mo ignored the system's idle chatter and focused all his attention on his confrontation with Durandal. ["Do you feel no remorse for deceiving honest people like this?"] ["Can things based on differing stances be called deception? This is called tactical concealment."] Mo Mo's reply was self-righteous. Yes, let it continue like this. Don't doubt it, Kiana and the others should be able to reach the Hyperion soon, and then he can escape. However, just as Mo Mo's plan was progressing smoothly, about to reach its perfect conclusion, God's mindset shifted slightly. "Wei Yi----"

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp weapon whistling through the air rang in Mo Mo's ears, and in an instant, it was only a few feet away. Mo Mo reflexively somersaulted in the air, barely dodging the oncoming cold light. Although unharmed, his escape was disrupted. In the instant they brushed past each other, Mo Mo finally saw its true form: a sharp blade gleaming with the color of cherry blossoms.

"!!!" In this world, there are only three people who 'possess' this knife. One is already gone, and the other is himself. So there's only one possibility left. Oh ho, it seems I arrived just in time. Following the frivolous voice, Mo Mo saw a figure with two rabbit ears on its head. The intervention of a third party completely disrupted the original rhythm of Mo Mo and Youlan Wan'er. Not only Mo Mo, but even Youlan Wan'er temporarily stopped her offensive, looking at the intruder with her unchanging expression. "Dr. Mo Mo." She smoothly called out a title, "Have the anti-entropy forces been dealt with?" In just one sentence, a considerable amount of information was revealed. Although it wasn't very obvious, Mo Mo still caught a whiff of it. Despite the growing confusion in his mind, one thing remained clear: his sister and the destiny of this world seemed to have some intricate connection.

"Although a few escaped, it's not a big deal. Hopefully, they'll pose a bit more of a challenge next time, otherwise it'll be too boring." Mo Mo walked towards where the cherry blossom snow had landed, casually picking up the sharp blade stuck diagonally in the ground and dusting off the dust. "It's just a few heavy pieces of sheet metal. Both its appearance and practicality are mediocre. I especially suspect the designer who came up with this design must have had some aesthetic problem. It's utterly useless. From my subjective perspective, I definitely prefer Schicksal's design style... cough cough, I seem to have said a bit too much. Please don't mind, it was just a spontaneous thought. Indeed... it was because she was dealing with Anti-Entropy's forces head-on that Durandal was able to spare the time to capture the Fourth Herrscher. She disrupted the rhythm of everything from the very beginning." "Dr. Mo Mo, please suppress your impulse for now. Now is not the time to deal with these things." "Youlan Wan'er has absolutely no interest in Mo Mo's enthusiasm. Qing and I will deal with the Fourth Herrscher together." "No, no, no, Miss Youlan Wan'er, you can't waste too much time on 'her,' after all..." Mo Mo's lips curled into a subtle smile, and she slightly raised her finger to point at Mo Mo, then continued, "This guy is just an imposter."

106. Nearing the end

"This guy is just an imposter." Mo Mo's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough for the other two present to hear. "An imposter?" Durandal's sharp gaze swept over the silent Mo Mo for a moment before turning back to Mo Mo. "Your... cough cough, anyway, believe me, the real Fourth Herrscher has already moved. This guy is just a 'smokescreen' left behind to deceive us." Mo Mo subtly withdrew part of her assessment. "You should have noticed that she was stalling for time, not because Yong Huai was short-handed, nor because of arrogance, but simply to cover for the real Fourth Herrscher."

Mo Mo remained silent, his heavy gaze fixed on his talkative sister. Was it true that he knew his sister better than his brother? "So, I advise Miss Youlan Wan'er not to waste too much time on her," Mo Mo casually waved his Cherry Blossom Blizzard, then continued, "Otherwise, we'll just let the Fourth Herrscher escape. If we chase after her now, there's still a chance we can intercept her." "I understand." Youlan Wan'er nodded slightly, picking up her cavalry spear, her gaze already shifting away from Mo Mo. "Don't treat me like I don't exist." "Since I've already been exposed, Mo Mo simply won't hide anymore. I won't let you get away with this. Although it might be a bit difficult for the two of us... It seems I still have no choice but to go ahead without hesitation." "That's not up to you to decide." "Mo Mo picked up the thread, "Miss Durandal, leave this guy to me. You hurry up and apprehend the Fourth Herrscher. The Gem of Desire... it absolutely cannot fall into the hands of anyone else, otherwise, Otto will be quite unhappy." Durandal glanced at Mo Mo expressionlessly, then stared into the distance behind Mo Mo and began to move. "I won't just..." Mo Mo was about to stop Durandal from leaving when a flash of cold light entered his field of vision, forcing him to flap his wings to dodge the attack that tore through the air. "I told you your opponent is me, right?" "Behind the blade emerged Mo Mo's face, a subtle smile on his lips. 'I'll get angry if you're half-hearted.' You..." Even though a thousand curses were running through his mind, Mo Mo suppressed the urge to swear. He could only watch helplessly as Youlan Wan'er swiftly left with her lance behind Mo Mo, while he was held back by the blade in front of him. The situation had suddenly reversed. ...So much time had passed; Kiana and the others should have safely boarded the Hyperion by now. "Finally, it's our turn to be alone, my foolish little brother." After Youlan Wan'er's figure disappeared into the distance, Mo Mo spoke up, "It's been a while since we last met. It seems you've gained new power, or maybe you just got it? But it seems you don't quite know how to use it properly yet." "Mind your own business." Mo Mo's reply was equally blunt. "These things are none of your concern." It seems you don't like this kind of interaction, so let's skip the formalities and get straight to the point. Mo Mo held the knife behind her back with one hand, and stretched out the other towards Mo Mo. "Give me your belt." She was truly direct and undisguised, stating her intentions plainly. "Unnecessary," Mo Mo retorted. "Do you think I would just hand it over like that? You missed your last chance, and as your sister, I'm very disappointed." Mo Mo's smile vanished completely, and a hint of regret appeared between her brows, just as she had said. "Then there's nothing more to say. Come on, it's time to put an end to this drama." The cherry blossom blizzard in her hand reflected a light devoid of any warmth.

"No way! No way! No way!" Mo Mo shouted recklessly, her moving figure turning into afterimages, wielding her Sakura Blizzard to shatter all the whistling wind blades. Just like Mo Mo a few minutes ago. Compared to Durandal, she was more arrogant, more unrestrained, and more direct. "My foolish little brother, is this all you can use for the Fourth Herrscher's abilities?" From that mocking tone alone, Mo Mo could imagine the nasty expression on Mo Mo's face. "Ha, not surprising at all, after all, it's you. [I can't take it anymore, the power of the Wind Herrscher is just too limiting.]" Mo Mo seemed to be dodging Mo Mo's attacks with considerable difficulty, gritted his teeth, and made a decision in his heart, "Don't underestimate me!"

"Kam∈n Ride," "Sakura," a similar figure emerged from the light, wielding the same sharp blade to meet the oncoming slash. "That's it, now no one will bother us." Maintaining a slightly trembling blade, Mo Mo stared directly at Mo Mo's face during the struggle. "Use all your strength to show me, if you can do it!" As soon as she finished speaking, Mo Mo sheathed her blade. But this didn't mean it was over. "Ready? It's about to begin." After giving a reminder, Mo Mo's blade began to dance again. Now it was her turn. The clash of blades was incessant, yet a delicate balance was maintained. As time passed, Mo Mo's expression grew increasingly serious. It was the same scenario, but the feeling she gave was completely different from when they fought on the Moon Throne. "Of course." Mo Mo easily saw through Mo Mo's thoughts. "Because compared to before, I've become stronger, isn't that an obvious fact? But what about you?"

"Face the facts, my foolish brother," Mo Mo's voice was sharp and ruthless, "The only one who has remained stagnant is you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the defense, which was gradually losing its strength, was finally torn open with a flaw.

"Drink! The defense has been breached." Staggering back a few steps, Mo Mo was slightly out of breath. Was it from the continuous battles? Or was it the powerlessness he felt from being shocked by her growth? Only he knew. "It's time to end all of this," Mo Mo murmured softly, reaching into his pocket and pulling out a familiar watch face. "This time, everything is at its best."

Pressing the button firmly, the dial responded. "Gaim," the final moment had arrived. Momo rotated the dial half a turn, **activating the left side of the driver.

107. Mo Mo Dies Under the Setting Sun (Three Chapters Combined)

"Although there were some unexpected minor mishaps last time, this time it went quite smoothly. The figure emerging from the light and shadow was still the same one with two long, slender animal ears, but now she was covered in light armor in the style of the Warring States period. 'Fusing two completely different power systems into one…' Mo Mo gently stroked the cold armor, muttering to herself, 'Perfectly resolving the compatibility issues, my experiment was a success!'"

Her increasingly heated expression contrasted sharply with Mo Mo's. "Look, my foolish little brother," Mo Mo patted the cold fabric of his chest. 'I've already overtaken you, by a huge margin. And this happened while you were standing still.'

"Don't you understand your mistake?" From Mo Mo's silent expression, Mo Mo keenly sensed the stubbornness within. "We haven't stopped to rest; the only thing we need to do is keep climbing to higher levels. But you didn't seize the opportunity, which is why I said you were foolish. Impatience, complacency... wasting so much time building such useless ties. I don't deny that such behavior can indeed bring inner satisfaction and pleasure, but by this..."

"You just want a peaceful life, I know, of course I know, but you don't seem to realize that something is chasing you from behind. If you don't move forward, you'll be swallowed up; if you don't fight, you won't survive..." Mo Mo's gaze was sharp, seemingly with a hint of disappointment. "Since that's the case, then..."

This is to let you experience firsthand the harm your foolishness can cause you. Words cannot communicate with someone who is stubbornly unrepentant.

"In the end, it's all about taking action." Mo Mo said, "You talk too much." This is a lecture from an elder, you disrespectful brother!" Mo Mo raised her eyebrows and glared at Mo Hai. "I can't find a single reason to respect you!" Mo Mo also retorted without backing down.

The already tense atmosphere was further amplified by the addition of boiling oil. "Looks like you're eager to get beaten up." Mo Mo's lips curled into a disdainful smile as she reached for her waist. "Today I'm going to prove that the driver isn't compatible with this version!" She then pulled out a blade that looked like a scabbard.

"Feel honored, my foolish brother, at the end of your journey you will witness the extraordinary feats your sister, with her divine talents, has accomplished! So you've been talking too much nonsense." Mo Mo's figure hardened, and he took a sudden step forward.

A flippant voice rang out from close range. "Even if you get there first, so what?" The cold glint of the blade obscured the gleam of the armor before him, forcing Mo Mo to hastily raise his blade to barely block the initial clash. What appeared to be a casual attack forced Mo Mo back several steps. "This power..." "I am no longer what I once was." Mo Mo didn't hold back again, choosing instead to press her advantage. 'You can't beat me!' Under the relentless onslaught, Mo Mo's slender figure could only retreat step by step. What was once a balanced fight had now become a one-sided affair.

No, the difference in strength is too great.

Using the same template, the opponent enhanced the power of the dial with the ability to create a massive attack, resulting in a difference so great that it was completely unstoppable.

Before that, she needs to temporarily step down from her wealthy position. ("Final Atack Ride")

A slash shimmering with cherry blossom colors swung down fiercely, finally creating a temporary break in the relentless attack. "Oh, that was dangerous." With a flick of her wrist, she launched a desperate attack from the brink of defeat. Mo Mo glanced back at the shattered giant not far behind. "But is this really your limit?" Facing Mo Mo's taunt, Mo Mo didn't answer, but quickly drew another card. "Wait a moment—" With a confident smile, another dial appeared in Mo Mo's hand. Taking the initiative, she declared, "I won't let you succeed so easily!" Drive! The orange armor vanished instantly, and Mo Mo's figure transformed into a red light. Just as Mo Mo was about to activate the card, her hand was gripped tightly, unable to move, along with the card engraved with Xilin's image.

"I won't let you escape!" Mo Mo said easily. "Defeat you before you can switch forms. That's the law of victory!" The heavy force pierced through Mo Mo's body through the fist that slammed into his chest.

Mo Mo looked at the figure who had staggered back a few steps and was about to collapse, and said, "Have you realized your shortcomings?"

"But whether you understand or not, it's too late now." Mo Mo stared at Mo Mo, pressed the button on the driver, and then rotated it. "Now, although it's very regrettable, I'm going to end all of this now."

"rror erer#@%.. #¥#@#&" It still doesn't seem perfect, but it's enough. Mo Mo's figure transformed into a streak of light again, swirling around the swaying Mo Mo. One, two... Mo Mo's attacks occasionally shot out from various angles within the red streak of light. But that speed exceeded the limits of the Extreme Eye, making it impossible to catch. "This is the end, my foolish brother." The final judgment came from behind Mo Mo. The moment he turned around, what came into view was a flying kick coming from mid-air.

The heavy flying kick slammed into Mo Mo's chest, sending him tumbling to the ground. After rolling a few times, specks of light appeared on Mo Mo's body. Once the light faded, he reverted from his transformed state to his original appearance.

He coughed a few times, and the pain, as if his internal organs were churning, pressed down on Mo Mo, causing him to furrow his brows tightly.

And it was a crushing defeat. How long had it been since I'd tasted something like this, since facing Sirin with six cores in Siberia? Vicious, and...bitter.

But compared to before, another indescribable emotion welled up from the depths of Mo Mo's heart. Everything had settled down. "But, I thought you would be crying your eyes out. You've grown a bit after all." Patting her clothes, Mo Mo walked slowly to Jian Mo's side. She didn't look down at his disheveled figure, but instead looked away, gazing into the distance. Mo Mo clenched her feeble fists. "Father once said that the one who can look down at the end of the battle is the final victor." Mo Mo murmured to herself.

She is the undisputed victor. "I should be the one falling now, and you should be looking down on me, so pathetic... But given your personality, you..."

"You wouldn't go that far, would you?" Mo Mo pursed her lips. "But I'm not as stupid as you. So now, I'm going to exercise the victor's rights. Are you ready?" Struggling to raise her head, Mo Mo, through her blurry vision, pulled out several watch faces from her pocket.

A blank watch face. "!!!"...Which one should I start with? Never mind, I'll take them all anyway, it makes no difference. Her expression looked so vicious from Mo Mo's perspective, 'I'm such a wicked woman.'

Mo Mo held the blank watch face up to the fallen Mo Mo. Gradually, specks of light slowly flowed into the watch face in Mo Mo's hand. Suddenly, Mo...

"Hmm, it's that red donkey witch's watch face, but I already have one," Mo Mo muttered to herself, but still put the watch face into her pocket.

"This time it's the power of the Fourth Herrscher, which you only just obtained?" she continued. "But unfortunately, she now belongs to me. Next..."

"This... the power of that dragon-shaped former Kaimon, I almost forgot about her. Although it's not very useful, I'll keep it anyway."

"Kallen Kaslana and the Herrscher of the Void weighed the watch face with the image already printed on it in their hands, and Mo Mo lowered her head. ...Me."

Mo Mo looked down at Mo Mo on the ground without any reaction, "If you were the victor, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state."

"You—" "I'm sorry." Pulling the watch face back into her pocket, Mo Mo continued, "But it's not over yet." She pulled out a new blank watch face and repeated the process. "Diend's power, got it. In the end, it's back in my hands." Mo Mo paused, looking down at the motionless figure on the ground. How does it feel to have all your important things taken away? It must be terrible. You didn't have to end up like this, but it's all your own doing.

"Hey! I'm talking to you." A third voice rang out across the wilderness, "Don't go too far!" "Oh, so you're still alive? Finally decided to come out?" Mo Mo didn't seem surprised at all. "I thought you were going to stand by and watch until the end." "That's enough! Do you have to be so ruthless?" the system said angrily. "Don't you have even a shred of reason?"
