Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

Then, the electrical box, which had become unstable due to overcharging, exploded spectacularly and magnificently in the fleet of warships. The electric arc and current passed directly through the barrier and flowed through the metal to all the warships. The four people could see the kingdom soldiers on the deck convulsing and falling down.

"Yay! Well done!" "Let's go now!!" "Hey, hey, hey, don't forget to watch your mana reserves!!"

Because the attack was successful, the four men eagerly advanced their lines to push the enemy back. These four white knight armors were equipped with fully developed "black technology," meaning that even without sufficient firepower, their individual combat capabilities were already adequate.

They activated their thrusters and flew at high speed toward the center of the battleship group. The four of them landed on the decks of four different airships and began their battle.

Looking at the ground, the guards were fighting hard against the stick figures. The stick figures were attacking them frantically, but each time they were neutralized by the member who could deflect the force, and then knocked back by the others.

However, this couldn't inflict decisive damage because the attack power was insufficient. Forget their weapons, even Akatsuki's dual swords couldn't penetrate it; achieving this level of damage was already quite impressive.

Hey everyone! Make way!

"Oh? Oh?! Commander! You brought that!?"

Led by the leader, a group of residents ran over, each holding a runestone. The guards made way for them, and they all threw their runestones, releasing the magic within them.

'Akihabara Magical Doll Maid'.

The magic circle constructed within the runestone unfolded automatically. This was a magic commissioned by the neighborhood committee, with Finoer providing the main magical framework, Li providing the creative ideas, and the residents themselves completing the magical doll, codenamed "Maid."

Dozens of magical circles instantly drained the surrounding magic power, using it to construct the girl's body and maid outfit. The construction of dozens of exquisite magical dolls was completed; they were mostly of the same design, only their maid outfits were different.

"Wow!!! That's awesome!!" "Ah, that's why I think you men..."

Ignoring the men who were going berserk due to their peculiar fetishes, the maids' eyes lit up—a signal that they had activated. Of course, the stick figure didn't care about any of that; he was solely focused on fighting relentlessly from beginning to end.

The stick figure had already approached one of the maids and was about to grab her when the maid dodged to the side. The maid grabbed his hand and used the momentum to throw him away, while the other maids quickly used ropes they found from somewhere to tie the stick figure up.

"good chance!"

Seeing this as a good opportunity, the main force of the guard rushed out. Chu Chu also noticed this and concentrated most of her support on him, allowing him to unleash a punch with maximum power.

The stick figure snapped free of the ropes, stood up, roared, and charged at the main fighter, swinging his greatsword. The fighter crouched down, closing in on the stick figure from under the greatsword, and without hesitation, swung his iron fist at the stick figure's groin.

"Get back here! One punch from me and you might die!"

"The Monkey Trying to Reach for the Moon" —!

Boom-!

As if hearing the sound of an egg cracking, the team member smiled contentedly, then looked up to see the stick figure's terrifying expression...

"Uh...ah...big brother?" The team member gave an awkward but polite smile.

"————！！！！！"

This confident strike had little effect; instead, it enraged the stick figure even more. Black energy erupted, the giant sword was raised high above his head, and then it slashed down fiercely.

"Whoa!"

When he came to his senses, he had already been pulled out by the maids with ribbons and then carried in a princess carry. The other maids used strong ribbons to wrap around the stick figure's legs and pull him down, while the remaining maids threw countless knives and forks at the stick figure from the side.

“Well done.” Finor walked up from behind and patted the alternate team member on the shoulder. “You all did your best, but let us handle this one. I’ll talk to Wu Ke and the others about this later.”

As a replacement for Salid and Akatsuki who have temporarily lost contact, Finoir is now in charge of keeping the stick figures in check.

Count me in!

The box that fell from the sky hit the stick figure squarely on the head. Transparent dragon wings unfolded from the back of the box, flapping as it adjusted its position and landed next to Finoir. Then, crab-like four legs and pincers emerged from the box.

Chapter 15 Akihabara's Counterattack!

“…Li?” Fino asked, looking at the treasure chest.

"Hmm? Ah, sis..."

After discovering Finoir, Baoxiangli shrank back, but then suddenly remembered something, straightened her legs with a righteous air, and looked completely justified.

"It's alright! My other self is repairing the barrier perfectly well!"

“…I see.” Finoer nodded in understanding; she had almost forgotten about having two bodies.

She originally intended to question Riko about why she had abandoned her defensive duties and come here, but after remembering that incident, she understood. Riko, as a clone, could move freely while Ryuou Riko was unable to move. But why?

"Speaking of which... how did you end up here?" Finoer didn't understand why she had come here.

"Of course, I was worried about Akihabara!" Risa Takarabako said, brandishing her pliers. "The barrier shattered! My heart was pounding in my chest, thankfully nothing serious happened. But I still couldn't relax, so I came here myself."

It's like this... because the Dragon King's barrier was shattered by the full-scale firepower of the Kingdom's naval cannons, Ri was indeed almost in tears at that moment. She felt a little relieved when she found that Akihabara was alright, just a little bit.

She was really worried, but she couldn't leave to build a barrier there. That's when she suddenly remembered her other self. She then hurriedly woke up the treasure chest that had been sleeping until today and rushed over from home.

Upon arriving in Akihabara, she saw a massive airship suddenly appear in the sky above the principality. The airship was then predictably crushed by the kingdom's fleet. What had actually appeared there was a giant electrical box, carried by four people wearing magical armor.

The instability of this electrical box said a lot. Li immediately understood what they were trying to do and silently cheered them on. Then, the electrical box was interfered with by a mysterious force of unknown origin, and its altitude began to drop before it even approached the fleet.

Sensing something was wrong, Li immediately used spatial magic to teleport herself there, then rammed her body into the electrical box. In return, she was paralyzed by the electric current and fell from the sky.

Fortunately, the paralysis ended at the last moment, and she bumped into something to cushion the impact, allowing her to open her wings and land safely.

Well... anyway, my shell is tough now, so it's impossible for me to get hurt. I'll never die from falling to the ground in my life. The era when you could die from falling to the ground is over.

"Wow, it's really done!" Ri looked at the maids with interest. "They look like they can do anything... No, no, this isn't the time to talk about that."

It's a sign of progress that Li still remembers why she came here. While Li and Finoer were talking, the guards had already surrounded them, and some of them rushed forward to entangle the stick figure.

Seeing Akihabara like this, Rin felt much more at ease, but the question was how much longer it would take for the stick figure in front of her and the mothership in the sky... Ning?

Li believed in Ning and also in the Three Ancient Workshops; they would definitely catch up. Even Neki was already working with great enthusiasm, and people equipped with White Knight α were constantly rushing to the battlefield. Some residents had even begun to build their own defensive lines outside the city gates.

It would be wrong of me to back down here.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! We guess we'll just have to do it ourselves!"

She spoke words that sounded like she was giving up on herself, but her mood was incredibly high. She released her magic to create a simulated dragon king's body, and she was ready to fight at full strength at any time.

"That voice...is it the ambassador?" "Hey, I've heard the ambassador has another body!" "No wonder she's a goddess!" "The ambassador is here to help! Everyone, cheer up! Let's go!"

The guards also heard Li's words; they couldn't be mistaken—it was their guiding light. They wouldn't be surprised if something strange happened to her, for she was a miraculous goddess.

"If you're going to be this self-destructive, I was almost ready to expel you from the party," Finoer said, sounding quite alarming. Then, she changed the subject, "But you don't seem like you're giving up on yourself. Anyway, everyone, let's fight together."

"It seems like I said something that can't be ignored?! I wouldn't do something so tasteless, would I?!"

After a brief skirmish, they all smiled knowingly. The guards rushed towards the restrained stick figure first, followed closely by the dragon-transformed Li and the half-dragon-transformed Finoir, who cast protective spells on them.

At this moment, the Magic Eye suddenly reacted. This was the first time it had automatically displayed subtitles.

"Do we need to break free of our shackles?"

Even if you explain it this way, I still don't quite understand.

Li was completely bewildered by the Demon Eye. "Liberate from the shackles? What is that...?"

'Default unlocking... Demon Eye restarting... 1%!...(missing)... 2%!...(missing)... 100%! (missing)'

Ding—! Whoa! ?

A warm sensation spread through her eyes; something seemed to be flowing within her vision; and everything before her seemed to be... slowing down. And...

"All elemental resistance level.max suppression removed."

"Intelligence control and suppression lifted."

"The suppression of the Lord of Time and Space, lv.ex, has been lifted."

Whoa, what is this...?

Numerous skills displayed the words "Suppression Released," and the number seemed so large that the Mystic Eye automatically omitted them. Looking at my own stats... what kind of monster is this?!

Name: Li

Race: Time-Space Dragon King

Age: 20

Attribute: Spacetime

Status: Suppression Released

Level: lv.99

hp/mp:9527/34426

Skills: All skills are unlocked.

All of Li's data had reached unprecedented levels. She knew that she had indeed sent Treasure Chest Li out to fight monsters on her own, but this surge in data was too strange!

Especially the defense; that stuff is practically gibberish!

Suddenly, his vision turned red. Startled by the warning red, he saw the stick figure break through in front of everyone and instinctively rushed out from between the guards to block it with his pliers.

Clang! Huh...?

I don't feel anything at all...

Li stared in surprise at her pliers, which firmly gripped the giant sword the stick figure was swinging at her. She'd thought the Demon King was pretty powerful when he talked about him, but now it seemed he was just so-so…

Hmmmm, oh!

So that's how it is. It's not that he's too weak, but that my defense is too high?

Hehehe~~~

Chapter 16 Sorry, the Mimic really can do whatever it wants.

when!

Fino was astonished to see that Rie had caught the stick figure's giant sword strike with her bare hands, and even Rie herself seemed surprised, as she had caught the sword so easily.

"Great opportunity! Let's seize it!"

Under the squad leader's command, the guards rushed forward and unleashed a combo attack on the stick figure's head: sword slash, friendship-breaking punch, shadowless kick, and chair back slap. Why were these guys attacking so haphazardly?! But this combo looked so satisfying!

Because of the guards' coordinated blows to the stick figure's head, he was now unsteady on his feet and had even stepped back a little, and the force in his hands had loosened.

"Reason!" Click!

Fino Er froze Li's pliers—no, not just froze them, but created something like gauntlets with a sharp blade extending from them. Her meaning was clear.

Upon seeing the ice blade reflecting a cold light, Li slammed into the stick figure's body, then swung the ice blade attached to the pincers without hesitation, further amplifying its power with the 'Dragon's Might' skill.

There was no need for hesitation. Although she didn't want to kill, and didn't wish to kill, the thing before her wasn't human; it was a living monster. Allowing such a monster into the duchy's city would inevitably drag more people into the carnage.

Despite Li's full strength, the effect of this attack was still very weak. The stick figure was only knocked back two steps before swinging the giant sword at her again, and the demon eye lit up with a warning color for her.

Without hesitation, she used her pliers to block the stick figure's attack, and then she became certain of one thing—the stick figure's attack could not harm her in her current state.

It's probably because the defensive power skyrockets to gibberish after the suppression is lifted. It's possible that even the Demon Eye can't extract any information from its defenses anymore. In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"I see..." Rin stared into the stick figure's empty eyes. "You can't hurt me."

The stick figure seemed to hear Li's words, trembled slightly, and then began to launch several frantic attacks on Li, but Li easily parried them all and then counterattacked with the ice blade in his hand.

"Ambassador...so strong..." one of the team members exclaimed as he watched the battle unfold before him.

"They actually fought to a standstill with that thing... no, they were suppressing it?" Another teammate was dumbfounded.

“Although I don’t know why,” Finoer said with a wry smile, “it seems like Rational has suddenly become stronger…”

Finoer's bitter smile stemmed from only one reason: the scene before her. She alone could hold off the stick figures, while they, despite their best efforts, had failed. Should she feel gratified or saddened?

“In short, you all go and help everyone,” Finoer instructed the guards. “Don’t let any royal troops into the city. The ambassador and I are here.”

"okay!"

The guards understood that there was no point in helping here; if the ambassador could handle it alone, they should hurry and help others. They ran past the fighting comrades, cheering for their ambassador before heading to the front lines.

Finoar could see that Akihabara had the upper hand in the current battle. In such a chaotic battle, the residents of Akihabara seemed to be used to it, flexibly responding to all unexpected situations and constantly defeating the enemy.

Even the seemingly incompetent commander was using his unique skills to confuse the enemy, gradually defeating them through a mix of real and feigned attacks. The tide of battle quickly turned, at least on the ground.

Dozens of airships opened their hatches, a sign that they were about to drop bombs. Finoer had heard of this before, and she had a way to deal with it.

"I'm sorry, but it's not possible for you to vote now."

Finoer raised her hand and pointed, and ice-blue magic light shot out from her fingertip, striking the airships whose cabins had been opened. The magic light was naturally blocked, but this did not affect Finoer's purpose.

Several magical circles unfolded outside the barrier of these airships, then froze the barrier, completely enveloping it. However, due to the barrier's resistance, they could not freeze the inside. Nevertheless, Finoar's goal had been achieved.

The incendiary bombs fired by the Kingdom's army all struck the ice sphere encasing them, igniting a raging inferno that transformed into numerous fireballs soaring through the sky. Even so, the ice sphere didn't melt an inch; this was the work of the Frost Dragon King, how could it possibly melt so easily?

Although it's unlikely that the fire could burn for long in such a confined environment, at least the Kingdom's army should learn its lesson and stop using incendiary bombs.

After sealing off the incendiary bombs, Fino turned her attention back to the battle in front of her. No matter how the stick figure attacked, it couldn't hurt Ri at all. On the contrary, Ri was standing there triumphantly, letting him hit her.

Despite being pounded into the ground by the stick figure, she remained completely still and unharmed. Unseen by Finoer, the HP bar displayed by Rie's Mystic Eyes showed no decrease, meaning the stick figure hadn't caused her any damage.
