Let the Bizarre Adventure of the Joestars begin.

Moreover, this issue is actually related to Cecilia and Miss Jeanne's Ripple Breathing Technique. After all, even if the Ripple Breathing Technique can reach the temperature of the sun's surface at its limit, it still doesn't really have the ability to strengthen the body. So, it's not a big problem that the Ripple Breathing Technique can enhance the user's physical strength and endurance to a certain extent.

As a result, several problems arose during the long run. First, there was Mash. Mash said that although she had the strength of a Heroic Spirit as a pseudo-Servant, the part of her that was once a weak girl still affected her. So after half an hour of running, Mash said that she could no longer run at such a fast speed. Although Sirin had also trained for long-distance running, she could only run at about 50 kilometers per hour. She was still somewhat aware of Cecilia's speed of 80 kilometers per hour when using Ripple to sustain her speed. So Sirin took the initiative to stay behind with Mash to recover their strength, and after recovering their strength, they would go to Cecilia's location.

Cecilia arrived at the location Einstein had mentioned within two hours, which was near the location where Miss Jeanne had been two hours earlier, after no one slowed her down.

"It's truly enormous," Cecilia remarked, gazing at the castle in her field of vision. "If that's the case, then we don't need to ask Ai-in about the rest of the journey, right?"

After catching her breath, Cecilia headed towards the castle. However, she hadn't gone far when she saw a protrusion on one of the castle walls. The protrusion was getting bigger and bigger, and finally, a person flew out from the center of the protrusion.

“...Jeanne?” Cecilia said, looking at the humanoid figure that had flown out.

However, upon realizing that the person who flew out was Miss Jeanne, Cecilia immediately ran over, and of course, she also took out the Black Abyss White Flower.

'Calm down, first calculate where Jeanne will fall, then use Black Abyss White Flower to catch her.' Thinking this, Cecilia stared at Jeanne's trajectory in the air, and finally threw the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand.

"Catch her, White Flower." After confirming that the Black Abyss White Flower had reached Miss Jeanne's landing location, Cecilia immediately used White Flower's ability.

As Cecilia activated the White Flower's power, a massive vegetation appeared from the location of the Black Abyss White Flower, directly catching Miss Jeanne.

"Hmm, is that Cecilia? She's just in time." Miss Jeanne murmured, feeling as if she had been caught by something.

"Weren't you here to deal with your dark past? How did things turn out like this?" Not long after Miss Jeanne was caught by Black Abyss White Flower, Cecilia came to Miss Jeanne's side and asked her this question.

"Pretty much, but the problem is, I'm a little outmatched." After getting herself up, Miss Jeanne stared at the dust cloud rising from the damaged castle walls. "I reckon I'll need your help this time, Cecilia... get out of the way!"

Upon hearing Miss Jeanne's words, Cecilia immediately obeyed and moved her feet to the right.

In the instant Cecilia dodged, the plant born from the Black Abyss White Flower was instantly severed.

"Is that... a spatial attack?" Cecilia asked Miss Jeanne, looking at the neat cuts on the plant.

"Pretty much. Everything about me was basically synchronized, and unfortunately, I don't have a Noble Phantasm yet, which is why I was forced out." Jeanne stared at the smoke and dust that had appeared due to the spatial attack as she answered Cecilia's question.

“Understood. I’ll fight her here first. You go and change into ‘that.’” Cecily walked slowly to the Black Abyss White Flower, pulled it out of the ground, and said this to Miss Jeanne.

"Okay, I'll be back in five minutes." With that, Miss Jeanne entered the imaginary space, leaving Cecilia to deal with that guy alone.

However, Cecilia's decision was actually correct. After all, if Jeanne hadn't switched to that, Cecilia and Jeanne wouldn't have had much of a chance of winning. Since a battle between Cecilia and Jeanne would basically be a lost cause, the enemy they were facing this time had synchronized everything about Jeanne and even had an extra Noble Phantasm. So Cecilia felt that even if Jeanne and she were together, they might not be able to defeat that guy.

Of course, if Miss Na were to wear the gift Mei gave her, things might be different.

Although the combat effectiveness of that thing hasn't been tested yet, based on the claim that previous civilizations couldn't be weaker than this one, it's safe to assume that if Miss Rana were to equip it, she could essentially guarantee the end of the battle. Similarly, it should be Miss Rana's new trump card besides the Broken Blade.

However, Cecilia didn't have much time to think about those things now, because a person with the same face as Miss Jeanne rushed out of the smoke and hit Cecilia's lance with a flag.

'The same strength as Jeanne.' Cecilia withstood the attack, adjusted her breathing, and in an instant released one hand from her lance, swinging it directly at the person who had the same face as Miss Jeanne.

Then, it hit. After all, Cecilia knew very well that if everything about Miss Jeanne was synchronized, the only attack she could make would be one that went beyond Miss Jeanne's thought process.

This punch was Cecilia's impromptu attack plan, and just as she had predicted, it landed squarely on the person's body. Moreover, Cecilia had considered that her synchronized Ripple might neutralize the Ripple she was using, so she didn't use Ripple in this punch; it was just a simple punch, albeit one imbued with Honkai energy. Nevertheless, the punch was effective.

She was knocked away, and Cecilia pressed her advantage. However, Cecilia had only taken a few steps when spatial attacks began to appear again.

Feeling the tearing sensation in her arm, Cecilia knew very well that if she were to approach that person now, she might be sliced ​​in two. Realizing this, Cecilia could only take a few steps back to avoid being subjected to too much spatial attack.

“...You’re really troublesome.” Cecilia said this as she looked at the person who had been knocked away.

Guess what Mei left for Miss Jeanne?

Girl and Dragon: I think this thing in Chapter 5 should be nerfed...

What Mei left for Miss Jeanne was no different from other things left to this generation; it was just that Mei added something special to it.

【Godslayer Armor - Time Knight - Moonless】This is what Mei left for Miss Jeanne, or rather, it is a blank key with the design of the Godslayer Armor that Mei created after understanding what Miss Jeanne was talking about.

Of course, since the previous generation of civilizations recorded in the literature did not conduct any research on god-slaying armor, this thing can only be considered Mei's personal research, and this research has not been discovered by anyone.

However, along with the God-Slaying Armor came a small piece of text, which briefly explained the gift and bid farewell to Miss Jeanne.

"...Phew." After looking at the God-Slaying Armor, Miss Jeanne let out a long breath and immediately began to put it on.

However, after reading the description of this thing in detail, Ms. Jeanne felt that this thing was more of a God Key than Otto's God-Slaying Armor. It was the second blank key that was created due to the number of Herrscher Cores dropped by the thousand Herrschers. Of course, the one in Ms. Jeanne's hand was actually an improved version of the first blank key.

The first Blank Key can only connect to one Herrscher core at a time, while the Blank Key that Ms. Jeanne holds can connect to multiple Herrscher cores at once. However, due to the materials and Ms. Jeanne's physical condition, if she connects multiple cores, she can only shorten the battle time according to the number of cores connected. The simplest explanation is that if Ms. Jeanne uses the Blank Key to connect to a single Herrscher core, the connection time can basically be guaranteed to be within one hour. After all, Ms. Jeanne's body has long been adapted to a single Herrscher core. The one hour is due to the material of the Blank Key. As for connecting two at the same time...

That would probably only guarantee around ten minutes, since Jeanne's Honkai resistance hasn't improved much over the years, and if she connects with three, Jeanne would only be able to fight for one to three minutes.

"Ten minutes is more than enough," Miss Jeanne said after putting on the Godslayer Armor.

However, now is not the time to connect with the Blank Key. Or rather, right now, Ms. Jeanne cannot directly use the core of the Herrscher of the Void to connect with the Blank Key, since she still needs to exit from the Imaginary Space.

"Well then, let me go out and take care of that stupid girl." With that, Miss Jeanne, wearing the Blank Key, left directly from the Imaginary Space.

Upon sensing the Honkai energy fluctuations, Cecilia in the real world immediately turned her head to look in the direction where Jeanne had come out.

Soon, Cecilia saw Miss Jeanne, dressed in the Blank Key, emerge from the Imaginary Space.

Cecilia looked at Miss Jeanne, smiled slightly, and said, "We've gone over time."

However, the moment Cecilia finished speaking, she collapsed. But it was only natural that Cecilia would collapse, since Jeanne Alter's spatial attacks were different from Jeanne's spatial attacks. At least Jeanne's spatial attacks had Honkai energy, which Cecilia could sense. But as for Jeanne Alter's spatial attacks, Cecilia couldn't sense them at all. She could only dodge them by relying on her familiarity with Jeanne's attack patterns. However, even though she was familiar with Jeanne's attack patterns, Cecilia was not familiar with Jeanne Alter's attack patterns. That's why Cecilia collapsed here.

"I'm sorry, Cecilia, please use Ripple to hold on for a while. I need to use Black Abyss White Flower a little." With that, Ms. Jeanne took out the Herrscher Core from her body and connected it to the Blank Key. At the same time, the Sixth Herrscher Core in the Sixth Divine Key of the Black Abyss White Flower that Ms. Jeanne was holding began to connect with the clothes that Ms. Jeanne was wearing.

After connecting, a small box indicating the remaining connection time appeared in Ms. Jeanne's field of vision.

[Remaining connection time: 560 seconds.]

'Hmm, does the connection time change depending on the quality of the Herrscher core being connected?' Jeanne thought to herself as she looked at the time displayed on the screen.

“However, that’s enough.” With that, Miss Jeanne appeared behind Jeanne Alter in the next instant: “You know, just now, you did something unforgivable. Although you’ve done enough unforgivable things in this singularity, what just happened made me particularly angry, so you’ll be beaten into immobility first.”

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc Alter immediately turned and swung her flagpole at Jeanne-de-Louis Jeanne. However, just as the flagpole was about to touch Jeanne-de-Louis Jeanne, it disintegrated in mid-air.

After connecting to the Herrscher Core within the Sixth Divine Key, Ms. Jeanne can briefly recreate the Sixth Herrscher in her prime. The Sixth Herrscher's omnipotence currently includes the regenerative power called "Creation" and the decomposition power called "Withering".

The omnipotence that Jeanne Alter just used was [Withering], which is why Jeanne Alter's flag spear was disintegrated in an instant.

"You're happy to use the abilities you synchronized with me to attack me, aren't you?" With that, Miss Jeanne snapped her fingers and teleported herself and Jeanne Alter directly into the imaginary space.

"Come on, who's afraid of you?" Even though the flag spear in her hand had already been dismantled by Jeanne, Joan of Arc Alter still stubbornly shouted after hearing Jeanne's words.

However, the instant after Joan of Arc Alter shouted, before she even had a chance to use her spatial abilities to attack Jeanne, she was squeezed between several protruding rocks.

"Black Abyss - Withering." After adjusting her aim slightly, Miss Jeanne threw the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand, and the target of Miss Jeanne's throw was the stone that was pressing down on Jeanne Alter.

The black abyss white flower, once thrown, pierced the stone instantly, taking away one of Jeanne Alter's kidneys and causing the stone to decompose.

Furthermore, Jeanne Alter fell into a coma due to the impact of the Black Abyss White Flower itself.

[Remaining connection time: 3,522 seconds.]

Miss Jeanne sighed slightly as she looked at the extra time that had suddenly been gained from severing the connection with the Black Abyss White Flower. It seemed as if she regretted not being able to go any further. However, Miss Jeanne never intended to kill Jeanne Alter. She was only slightly angry because of Cecily's injuries.

"The battle is over." These were the final words of Miss Jeanne, as she looked at the unconscious Joan of Arc Alter, thus ending the fight.

Isn't this Space Key too overpowered? I think it should be nerfed.

Girl and Dragon: Chapter Six - I Will Always Be With You

"Cough cough, they took away Black Abyss White Flower, really..." Cecilia said, exerting a little effort to change her position from lying down to lying on her back.

'The synchronization Jeanne mentioned earlier must mean that the bastard Jeanne was synchronized to the past, right? But if I remember correctly, Jeanne's spatial abilities can only be used when she possesses a Herrscher Gem, right?' Cecilia thought to herself as she looked at the sky.

'However, now doesn't seem like the time to worry about that Jeanne guy...' Cecilia came to this conclusion after briefly calculating her blood loss rate.

Although Cecilia had only just thought that, she immediately sensed the fluctuations of Honkai energy. It seemed that Miss Jeanne's side had been taken care of.

"Oh, still alive." A few seconds later, Miss Jeanne's voice came from the surroundings.

"More or less, but you seem to be alright over there, right?" Hearing this tone, Cecilia could basically confirm that it was Miss Jeanne who had come here, not the person who looked exactly like Miss Jeanne.

"It's alright, although connecting to two Herrscher cores at the same time is a bit of a strain on the body." While answering Cecilia's question, Ms. Jeanne took out the Black Abyss White Flower and connected it again.

After confirming her connection with the Black Abyss White Flower, Ms. Jeanne took a short breath and then used the power of the Sixth Herrscher, the regenerative power called [Creation].

After using the power of creation, Cecilia's body, which had fallen to the ground, was restored to its pre-battle state in an instant.

"Really, I almost died." Feeling that his body was intact, he sat up from the ground with a little effort: "But who was that guy?"

"Her?" Hearing Cecilia's words, Miss Jeanne naturally knew who Cecilia was referring to, after all, Miss Jeanne only brought out that one person from the Imaginary Space: "She is one of my prototypes."

“One of the prototypes…” Cecilia understood what Jeanne meant in an instant: “No wonder she can synchronize with your abilities.”

"Yes, after all, from a certain perspective, this guy doesn't have a spirit origin yet, so he's a vessel without a soul. But similarly, since he was just born, he doesn't have a history as a Servant. That's why he can synchronize with my abilities so smoothly." Jeanne stroked her chin slightly before revealing her guess.

“Is that so…” Cecilia listened to Miss Jeanne’s words, sighed slightly, and then continued, “I think I understand what you’re talking about. So, what are the circumstances surrounding the birth of this singularity?”

“Gil, Gilles de Rais, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the one holding the Holy Grail.” After confirming that Cecilia understood her explanation, Miss Jeanne directly stated the holder of the Holy Grail.

"Gilles de Rais, one of the marshals of the Hundred Years' War in France, and one of the early generals who joined Joan of Arc's ranks, also went astray because of Joan of Arc's death, hoping to use black magic to resurrect her. However, in practicing black magic, he killed more than three hundred children. And if we summarize his experience, then you were wrong, Jeanne." Cecilia said this after slightly touching her chin as she listened to Miss Jeanne's explanation.

"Nonsense! It's not my fault at all! My prototype is Joan of Arc Alter, and Joan of Arc Alter's prototype is Joan of Arc. Therefore, the mistakes Joan of Arc made have nothing to do with me, Jeanne Joestar!" Miss Jeanne argued in this way. Of course, Miss Jeanne's argument was almost useless. After all, no matter how much Jeanne argued, Joan of Arc was still her original prototype. So from this point of view, Miss Jeanne's argument was completely meaningless.

"Hmph, so what do you plan to do about her?" However, Cecilia didn't seem to have any intention of arguing with Miss Jeanne, since dealing with Joan of Arc Alter was the most important issue right now.

"Her? She's still just a child, even her birth was an accident." Looking at Joan of Arc Alter, who was still unconscious, Miss Jeanne reached out a finger to tidy up a strand of hair on her forehead.

“She’s a child, but even if she’s a child, you can’t deny the fact that she’s killed tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of people in this singularity.” Cecilia looked at Miss Jeanne’s actions, sighed slightly, and said, “So, from the detective’s perspective, she is guilty.”

"Of course, I never deny that she is guilty, but that's only under the premise that this singularity hasn't been eliminated yet." After a slight pause, Miss Jeanne said this, seemingly not denying Cecilia's words at all. However, at the same time, Miss Jeanne did not deny that Joan of Arc might be innocent: "Moreover, a newborn child, under the instigation of others, killed tens of thousands of people. No matter how you look at it, it's the fault of the instigator. Of course, the person with full knowledge is also at fault."

“Yes, both of them are at fault, it’s just that the ratio of their faults is hard to calculate.” Hearing Miss Jeanne’s words, Cecilia knew that Miss Jeanne was actually planning to take the problem child home, so she went along with Miss Jeanne’s words.

"Heh." Hearing Cecilia's words, Miss Jeanne knew very well that Cecilia already knew what she wanted to do. She turned her head slightly and said to Cecilia, "Ah, it's so nice to have Cecilia by my side."

“Isn’t that obvious? Miss Detective, you’d be clumsy without an assistant by your side.” As she said this, Cecilia turned her head to look at Miss Jeanne, seeing her own reflection in Miss Jeanne’s eyes.

“Yes, I’m a detective who becomes quite clumsy without an assistant by my side. So, will you stay by my side from now on, Cecilia?” Jeanne said, listening to Cecilia’s words. Her words were not very emotional, but she was very clear that Cecilia understood the feelings she wanted to express.

"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you."
