Moe Girl Guardians

My strength has been weakened! With each step I advance, I feel a slight weakening, so slight that I can't even feel it. But after crossing several white jade steps, the weakening finally becomes obvious.

Catching up won't be easy. Seeing Wu Feng disappear into nothingness, Athena's giant scythe changed shape again, taking form from black light into a longbow. The bow was over 1.5 meters long and was engraved with unidentified serpentine patterns.

A flash of black light appeared in his hand, and a black arrow was already nocked on the bow, aimed at Wu Feng, and shot out. The black arrow, like a black snake catching its prey, transformed into a streak of black light and approached Wu Feng.

The black serpent flicked its tongue and suddenly accelerated in mid-air. The chilling energy made Wu Feng's pretty face twitch. Damn, Athena's weapon is bugged too! It can transform at will according to the situation! A giant scythe for melee combat, a large shield for defense, and now it's a bow and arrow. The power is okay, but the power of each one is ridiculously strong!

He slowed his pace and dodged the black arrow, which struck the white jade steps in front of him, causing a violent explosion. Although it did not damage the white jade steps, it temporarily blocked his progress.

Before the first shot had even stopped, another black arrow came rushing in from behind. A jet-black light rushed in from behind at great speed. The White Jade Tower's steps were limited in size, and even if one dodged it, the explosion would stop them there.

"Luckily, I also have ranged attack methods... It really does seem similar." Thinking about my own and Athena's attack methods... It really does seem similar.

He took out a coin, flicked it gently into the air, surrounded by purple lightning. The next moment, a purple electromagnetic cannon collided with the black light. Without stopping, Wu Feng immediately turned around and ran upwards again.

The "Railgun" and the black light collided. The black arrow was only held for a few seconds before it was pierced by the "Railgun" and flew towards Athena, leaving a broken arrow on the ground.

Unfortunately, before it could fly for long, more black arrows came flying in. Unable to fight one-on-one, it resorted to using numbers to wear them down. Each of the "Electromagnetic Cannons" could not destroy a single black arrow before its momentum was halted, as it was ultimately outmatched in strength.

Despite the obstruction of the black arrow, Athena closed the distance to Wu Feng significantly. Finally, at about halfway between them, Athena caught up with Wu Feng, but her strength was weakened to the lower-middle level of the Berserker rank.

"That should be about right," Wu Feng said calmly, looking at the long ladder behind Athena, despite being caught up.

"Almost?" Athena wondered, then suddenly remembered one of Wu Feng's powers, the special movement generated by the strange crack. Based on the previous analysis, it should require some preparation time, or even immobility, before it could be activated. The limitation on the movement distance was not very clear. Instantly, she flashed and appeared in front of Wu Feng, swiftly swinging her giant scythe down.

A crack opened up and swallowed Wu Feng, allowing him to dodge the giant scythe's attack in time. He landed less than one step behind Athena, and then continued to float towards the top floor.

Wu Feng smiled bitterly to himself. He hadn’t expected the Endless Ladder to be so effective at controlling the Gap. He had been thinking about using the Gap ever since he stepped onto the Endless Ladder, but he found that the preparation time was too long. The preparation time for the Gap on the Ladder was twice as long as usual.

The movement range was also limited, no longer within sight, but within five layers of white jade stairs. The preparation time was basically enough for Wu Feng to run there. The closer to the first stage of the white jade building, the greater the impact on the gap. By the time it was in the middle, the movement range had shrunk to one layer of stairs, and the preparation time had increased by a factor of two.

After all, it's just a special piece of equipment made by embedding C-grade equipment. Even with the added gap ability, it's perfectly normal for it to be weakened by interference from space-related abilities.

As Wu Feng gradually disappeared from sight, Athena was no longer in a hurry to chase after him. She chuckled and began to stroll up the white jade steps. It was impossible to go down now, and even if she went down violently, the energy consumed might end up being higher than if she had weakened herself.

There's not much hope of catching up, so instead of wasting energy, it's better to use the time to recover and slowly climb. We can already see the buildings on the endless staircase. We have a rough idea of ​​how much they've been weakened. Let that guy wait patiently up there!

Realizing she had fallen for Wu Feng's trap, Athena began to show her cunning side...

Reaching the top of the endless staircase, at the final stage, the Hakugyokurou, Wu Feng was also taken aback. It was a Japanese-style building almost identical to the Hakugyokurou in Gensokyo. In front of it was a wide open space, perfect for a duel.

Inside the White Jade Tower, a sense of oppressive power emanated from within, making even Wu Feng reluctant to enter.

Waiting quietly for Athena's arrival in the open space filled Wu Feng with confidence.

1 minutes

5 minutes

10 minutes

30 minutes

……

An hour passed and Athena still hadn't arrived, leaving Wu Feng bewildered. "Damn it, is she still waiting for me to go down and fight her?"

Standing at the edge of the endless staircase, looking down, a faint white shadow could only be seen in the distance...

Chapter 144 I Want to Slap You

Bored out, Wu Feng pulled out some snacks, a chair, and a table, and started eating them while sprawled on the table. Hmm, it seems he should probably find some time to get a laptop and put it in there… As a hardcore otaku, not being able to watch anime anytime, anywhere is simply unforgivable…

"Next time I go to the high-tech world, I'll definitely get a laptop that never runs out of power, put thousands of anime on it, and take it out to kill time when I'm bored..." Wu Feng thought to himself, lying on the table.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Athena slowly climbed to the top of the endless staircase, admiring the surrounding scenery. When she saw the Jade Tower in the distance, her pretty face turned serious. She sensed an unusual aura from inside, and if she could avoid going in, she would definitely not.

Then they saw Wu Feng idly slumped over a table in the square, occasionally popping a snack into his mouth. There were already more than a dozen snack bags on the ground, mostly of a type called "Integrity"...

Athena's pretty face immediately twitched. For the first time, she felt an urge to curse. "I climbed the stairs with my life on the line, and you're just sitting here eating at the table! What happened to your eagerly waiting?! You've completely ruined your image!"

...You underestimate otaku.

"You're finally here!" Wu Feng exclaimed with delight when Athena appeared. Eating snacks without anime is so boring! Maybe eating something spicy would be better? I've heard there's a snack called spicy strips... it's really exciting. I'll ask Amakasu Touma if he can get some next time.

Upon seeing Wu Feng, Athena didn't hesitate. Her hand flashed with black light, transforming into a serpent's longbow, and black arrows flew out one after another, attacking Wu Feng.

As the black snakes attacked, Wu Feng felt much more at ease. In terms of strength, although they hadn't fallen below the lower level of the Berserker rank, they were close enough and not insurmountable.

Ahead, a pale purple barrier of death appeared, briefly blocking the black snake before breaking apart, and Wu Feng took the opportunity to dodge away.

"Athena, you just got here, aren't you going to rest for a bit?" Unaware of what was going on, someone offered a seemingly caring but actually malicious greeting...

"Who do you think caused this?!" Hearing Wu Feng's words, Athena was furious. She switched her Serpent's Kiss Bow again, and after a flash of black light, it returned to its giant scythe form. With a swift movement, she slashed at Wu Feng.

Unaware of what was happening, Wu Feng also brandished his folding fan in retaliation. With the added advantage of his divine power, coupled with the fact that Athena's strength was not much different from his at the moment, the two fought to a standstill, unable to determine a winner.

Waving his folding fan, he once again knocked Athena back a distance, then launched two coins simultaneously, sending two [Railguns] flying towards Athena.

A black light flashed in Athena's hand as she switched to the Serpent's Kiss Bow and fired two arrows simultaneously, one after another, towards the Railgun, blocking them in mid-air.

Having just blocked the [Railgun], Wu Feng took the initiative to attack, closing in on Athena. A faint purple light flashed in her snake eyes, and Wu Feng's speed immediately stopped. Before Athena could counterattack, Butterfly Purple's eyes also appeared, and the opponent was also restrained.

What followed was a protracted battle of attrition. Wu Feng used the [Railgun], Athena responded with a black arrow, the Light Butterfly against the Shadow Summoning, the [Binding Demon Eye] against the Petrifying Eye, and the melee Giant Scythe against the Folding Fan.

On the open ground in front of Baiyulou, the battle raged for nearly an hour. Cold light, petrification, and explosions occurred one after another. Both sides were panting heavily, and no clear winner had emerged. The abilities of the two sides were similar, and their strengths were not far apart. It would not be easy to determine a winner.

Wu Feng somewhat regretted selling Vereslana's powers too early. He should have at least kept the warrior wielding the golden sword to sever several of Athena's powers, making the battle much easier.

In the Void World, in the Cherry Blossom Garden, the four Nightmare Warhorses and the four giant serpents were evenly matched, with none able to defeat the others. However, Erica and Lily were gradually at a disadvantage. Given their original strength, it was already extremely difficult for them to fight against the giant serpents at the peak of the Ferocious Realm. The environment here was more suitable for the giant serpents than for them.

As the two struggled to hold on, the five giant snakes in the courtyard seemed to lose their support, their almost stone-like skin gradually turning into real stone, splitting and crashing to the ground. This was the time when Athena arrived at the third stage of the Jade Palace.

"Erica, should we go up?" Lily asked, somewhat unwillingly, gazing at the endless staircase in the distance.

"Although I really want to say we should, that stage of the battle was completely beyond our control," Erica said with a wry smile. The genius of the [Red Copper Black Cross] rarely showed such a sense of powerlessness.

"I hope he can win... no, he has to win."

……

"Witch, how far has the battle progressed?" Time passed second by second, and those waiting outside grew anxious, especially Lu Yinghua, who asked Yuri.

The green light surrounding Yuri vanished at that moment. She shook her head slightly, her pretty face filled with worry. "My spiritual vision was blocked. I've already seen everything. The only thing I know is that before, the King and Athena were evenly matched."

……

"Athena, it won't really matter if you lose, at most you'll revert to mythology. How about we make a deal, let me win..."

On the Jade Pavilion, the two were still fighting. Wu Feng couldn't defeat Athena, and Athena couldn't defeat Wu Feng either. The power of death was something they both controlled, rendering many skills and abilities ineffective. It would be a long time before a winner was decided...

“I am favored by victory and will never fail,” Athena replied, no better than Wu Feng, her tone still forceful. But then she abruptly changed her tone, “How about a decisive blow, without protracted fighting?”

"Agreed," Wu Feng agreed.

The two immediately separated by a distance. Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and the sky above the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion] was filled with dark clouds. This puzzled Wu Feng. Why did he always get struck by lightning every time he used the [Netherworld Jade Pavilion]?

“I do not wish to use the power I received from that man, but in the current situation, it is the most suitable ability.” Under the lightning, Athena looked at the sky with some disgust.

Athena is the daughter of Zeus, who is also her greatest enemy. Athena received the ability to control lightning from the king of the gods.

Countless lightning bolts darted across the sky, then crashed down, their target not Wu Feng, but Athena. The lightning gradually coalesced in her hand, its blue light dazzling as it solidified into a lightning bolt shape.

Chapter 145 The First Ring Completed

Dark clouds filled the sky, with lightning flashing across them, turning the predominantly dark sky into daylight.

"That guy's other abilities are average, but his control over lightning is something he can be proud of. All my divine power is focused on this one strike. If you can stop it, you win." Endless lightning bolts fell into Athena's hands, and under the reflection of the lightning, she looked even more heroic and holy, inspiring people to worship her. The blue and white lightning in her hands became more and more concentrated, gradually becoming an energy body in the shape of lightning.

Purple lightning gradually flashed around Wu Feng's body. The S-rank Sakura Will and the A-rank Uranus System were completely useless at this time. They would probably be punched in the hole before they could even finish charging up. The Phoenix Butterfly's Death Gun had a large range, so the only thing that was suitable was the Railgun.

"I have experienced your attack. Although you are not countered by lightning, do you think you can block my attack?" Athena leisurely reminded Wu Feng, seeing the purple lightning on his body. The two had been fighting for an hour and had long understood each other's abilities. Although this move was strong, it was still a bit short of blocking her attack.

You'll see once you try.

He silently put the coin back. Even Athena said so; relying on that really was a bit risky...

Opening the Stigmata exchange page and glancing at the six Stigmata remaining, Wu Feng made a tough decision. He figured he couldn't catch a wolf without risking his cub; he'd already spent most of his money, so what was a little more?

[Exchange for Misaka's Railgun]

Used 5 Stigmata, currently have 1 Stigmata remaining.

[A Certain Scientific Railgun named Mikoto] In the end, it's just a special coin. After completing the achievements of defeating the Transmigrator, the Agent, and the Reincarnator, the types of coins that can be exchanged for increase significantly. Unfortunately, because there are so many types, Wu Feng doesn't know whether the number of exchanges will actually increase...

It wasn't until recently, on the way back from Sardinia, that I discovered some one-time exchange items, thanks to Sa's reminder. 90% of them were completely useless, used to enhance the power of certain consumable skills. The only one worthwhile was Misaka's Railgun—a special coin that could enhance its power, costing 5 Stigmata per coin…

Wu Feng's idea of ​​buying some to store was immediately dispelled, because each battle consumes resources in units of ten!

After completing the exchange, Wu Feng had a special coin in his hand, engraved with Misaka Mikoto's portrait. It was about twice the size of a regular coin, and felt heavy in his hand, as if it were magnetic.

The lightning bolts in the sky gradually thinned out, and the endless lightning strikes also decreased significantly, as Athena's powers were being unleashed in their final stage.

The purple lightning surrounding Wu Feng's body also shone brightly, especially on his hands. After all, these were coins he had exchanged, and they felt different; under the electromagnetic envelopment, they seemed weightless.

The special coin bounced gently, sparkling with lightning as it twirled in mid-air. With a flick of Wu Feng's thumb, a super-railgun, more than twice the size of its usual size, flew out of his hand.

"Fire the Railgun!" Wu Feng felt a pang of heartache; the Five Sacred Marks were gone just like that. He wondered if they could be recycled and reused...

With a volume more than twice that of a regular coin, coupled with its special material, it attracted even more purple lightning to surround Mikoto's Railgun. The surrounding lightning was almost like plasma, constantly making a crackling sound as it streaked through the air.

Occasionally, a stray plasma would fly out and flash before even touching the ground, then turn into purple lightning that would strike the ground. Like a source of destruction, wherever it flew, purple lightning would continuously fall, leaving behind charred areas of varying sizes.

With the combined power of death and Misaka's Railgun, the Railgun had far surpassed its original power, transforming into a streak of purple lightning with a piercing thunderous roar, and instantly striking Athena.

Athena had already launched her fully charged lightning-shaped energy body. Unlike Wu Feng's railgun, Athena's energy body emitted almost no lightning. It was like a solid entity, tearing through space at astonishing speed and flying towards the purple lightning.

In mid-air, the purple plasma and the blue-white energy body collided instantly, and the collision of energy immediately illuminated the entire rooftop, with dazzling lightning making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Thunder rumbled incessantly, and from the source of the collision, blue-white or purple lightning bolts shot outwards, instantly covering the massive platform with scorch marks, which gradually faded under the force of recovery.

The final collision yielded a result: the purple lightning plasma encasing the coin was dispersed by the blue-white energy body, while Mikoto's Railgun successfully pierced through the energy body, carrying its residual force towards the somewhat shocked Athena.

A streak of purple light flashed across Athena, leaving a fist-sized void on her bare shoulder, with some purple lightning still swirling around it.

The attack missed its vital point, preventing Athena from returning to her mythological state. She remained frozen, staring at Wu Feng.

"You've won, Wu Feng. Hurry up and finish me off; that's the victor's right," Athena said to Wu Feng in a nonchalant tone. Even though she hadn't hit any vital points, her divine power was exhausted, leaving her with little room to resist.

"That means you've given up."
