Sky Striker Princess, but the swan song of Valkyrie.

With these thoughts in mind, Finnie felt a little relieved, and the bronze serpent armor on her body rapidly repaired her damaged form.

"Ah, indeed, three minutes have passed, and it's all over."

Seemingly having no other options, Zero's thrusters gradually shut down, and he landed on the ground.

"Yes, that's right, it's all over. Tonight, the moon will be pierced through, pierced by Kadingil!"

Despite her exhaustion and pain, Finney's joy at this moment could not be concealed. She was finally able to connect all of humanity and realize her dream of countless years.

She eagerly turned her gaze to Cardingil, intending to witness the moment her wish came true, but suddenly, she realized that something was wrong with her weapon.

"Ah, that's right, it's all over. In the end, it's my victory. Armed request."

As Finney's gaze fell upon Cardingil, Zero also uttered those words, pointing her Flash Blade at the tower emanating black electricity from its painted exterior.

"No, no, my dream!"

Looking at the thing that didn't appear in his memory on Cardingil, Finney immediately understood everything.

The three minutes that Lingyi mentioned were not the time it took for her to make Kadingil launch an attack, but rather the time it took for some kind of preparation she made with Kadingil to take effect.

If Finney can defeat Zero within three minutes, she can successfully achieve her dream; otherwise, her dream will end.

So, I was the challenger all along.

Such a desperate thought popped into Finney's mind.

"Descend, transform everything into sustenance for your construction, build your own body, a weapon of gluttony, a weapon of evasion—H·A·M·P!"

Ignoring Finney's words, Zero issued the order without hesitation, which led to a change in Cardingil.

The painted outer shell began to disintegrate and shatter, and the shattered shell began to float in the air. The properties of the floating materials changed, and black parts grew from the wreckage. All the parts combined to form a tall mecha.

The Flash Weapon - Hamp, is a weapon wielded by Zero that is specifically designed to devour impenetrable fortifications. By leveraging the Flash Blade's supreme command over relic, and at a relatively high cost, the fortification is transformed into the form of this weapon.

"...I...failed?"

The towering mech stood before Finnie, and she could feel that all the control she had previously exercised over Cardingil had been transferred to this mech.

In other words, her Cardingil, under Zero's influence, has become a piece of scrap metal that can't fulfill her dream.

"The tower has transformed into... a mecha! Is this also Zero-chan's ability?!"

Hibiki Tachibana was shocked by the scene before her that defied common sense. The tower that had withstood Tsubasa's selfless attack without faltering an inch had actually been defeated just like that.

"Alright, we made it in time. So this crisis is considered resolved... but the cost was quite high."

Lingyi sheathed her flash sword, her expression slightly relaxed.

She had been somewhat worried that Finney might discover the truth beforehand and come up with some new tricks, but fortunately everything went smoothly in the end.

"It's always like this, always like this. You always plunge me into despair just when my wishes are about to come true. Since that's the case, then I'll bring you death in return!"

At this moment, Finnie finally awoke from her feeling of powerlessness. With her Bronze Serpent Armor now fully repaired, she immediately set her sights on her latest goal.

"Ah ah ah!"

With Phine's roar, green light emanated from her body, allowing her to use the full power of the complete relic without having to expend energy on Kadingil.

"Solomon's Staff... Is it hidden inside the body? No wonder I couldn't find it earlier."

Seeing Finney's actions, Zero realized what the other person wanted to do.

P.S. Good afternoon.

Chapter 163 Concealment

The green light, symbolizing the appearance of noise, radiated out on a scale far exceeding anything seen before, driven by Finney.

Unlike before when she needed to maintain the operation and defense of Kadingil, with reduced energy consumption, Phineas was able to use more of her power to drive the Staff of Solomon, releasing a massive amount of noise.

Thump--thump thump-one thump

Although the surrounding firing positions were still firing, the range and number of these noises were enormous, seemingly due to Phine's special efforts in activating the Staff of Solomon.

Ultimately, even with the best possible increase in the quality of existing firepower, Zero's firepower only managed to suppress the noise within the Lydian Conservatory of Music area, and was unable to stop Finney from taking further action.

Meanwhile, Finney's body was both releasing noise and absorbing it, gradually transforming into a growing ball of flesh.

Things are getting worse.

Lingyi frowned slightly as she watched Finnie's body change and expand.

On one hand, facing the Bronze Serpent Armor with its high health and high recovery, she didn't have any quick and effective methods, and could only slowly try to hack into the opponent's operating system.

On the other hand, in order to destroy Kadingil as quickly as possible, the computing power of her Flash Blade was already overloaded. It was barely enough to maintain the defense, and it would be difficult to continue the attack.

Therefore, although Lingyi wants to stop the other party from taking further action, she can only observe the situation cautiously for the time being.

"Come out, Durandal!"

Tentacles made of flowing flesh shot towards the black mecha. Finney knew that facing Zero, she had to seize every opportunity and use all her strength.

The impact of the tentacles destroyed the core of the black mech, directly enveloping the complete relic at the core of the mech - Durandal, and pulling it into its own body.

After all, the original design was intended to tackle tough challenges, and Zero has not yet added any strong combat capabilities to this mech.

"Lingyi, I'm going to show you what happens when you repeatedly provoke me."

Finney's voice echoed in the space, and her body had transformed into a huge red monster, resembling the legendary red dragon.

哔-

Then, after a brief period of charging, a massive, destructive beam of energy was launched toward the ground where Zero stood.

boom!

The impact shook the earth, raising countless clouds of dust that obscured the view. On the outskirts of the dust cloud, a figure, seemingly unharmed by the attack, flew out of the dust cloud with a blue trail of flames.

"Go on, keep fighting me! See if you can destroy this perfect, enormous body! Can you withstand Durandal's attack of total annihilation?"

Watching the figure hovering in the sky, powered by the Eagle-type thrusters, Finney angrily declared this, and spurred his own limbs and firepower to launch a supreme attack on the figure in the sky.

"Who is Miss Ryoko fighting?"

As the smoke cleared and visibility returned, Tachibana Hibiki, who hadn't reacted for a moment, looked at Finney's actions with some confusion.

"Ahem, Tachibana, it must be some kind of Stand-like thing that Zero used in the previous battle."

The blue-haired girl, who was weak and being supported, was explained by Kazunari Tsubasa.

"Hoo... Ha, hey, what happened? I feel like I missed a lot of things as soon as I woke up."

"Why did Finni turn out like that? Where is Cardingil? What is that huge mecha wreckage? And... why are you here, Zero?"

Despite her weakness, Chris, who was barely able to stand, looked in the direction of Kazanari Tsubasa with a face full of questions and asked Zero, who was supporting her.

"...There are too many problems. Let's look at the atmosphere. Chris, all you need to know right now is that I have an irreconcilable conflict with Finney, and for the time being, I'm on your side."

Time was limited, and Lingyi didn't intend to explain further at this moment.

Just as Finney fired that shot, Zero grabbed Tachibana Hibiki to avoid the center of the attack and built a defense to block the aftershocks.

Then, amidst the smoke and dust, it commanded Bumblebee's floating units to construct a clone in its own likeness, temporarily drawing the attention of Finney, whose judgment had been clouded by rage.

At the same time, he also directed Black Widow to grab the anchor and bring back the seriously injured Kazanari Tsubasa from the ruins, and gave Kazanari Tsubasa emergency treatment amidst Tachibana Hibiki's gratitude.

A short while later, Chris, who had been awakened by the commotion, also noticed the commotion and staggered over to join them.

"alright, I got it."

After Lingyi's reminder, Chris temporarily suppressed her doubts.

"Um, Zero-chan, so what do we do next?"

Hibiki Tachibana subconsciously asked Rei.

"It's not about what I want to do, it's about what you want to do."

Zero replied.

"What's the meaning?"

Leaning against Lingyi, Fengmingyi asked weakly.

"I have two plans, both of which can definitely defeat Finney, but the choice of which plan to use is up to you."

Lingyi glanced at the three musicians beside her and explained, but the three musicians seemed slightly puzzled by her explanation.

"Option one: you don't need to do anything. I'll take care of Finny by myself. Sky Blade has the power to control artifacts. As long as the invasion is successful and control is gained, Finny will naturally be defeated."

Ignoring the three people's doubts, Lingyi first explained her initial plan.

"So, Zero, you really can take care of Finny?!"

Upon hearing Zero's statement, Chris couldn't help but express her surprise.

She thought that even Zero couldn't handle Finnie at her current level.

"But... cough cough, there should be a price to pay, otherwise you wouldn't have said that you would let us make a choice."

Feng Mingyi calmly analyzed the situation.

"The cost, in a sense, is not great; it's roughly the destruction of this city and the extent to which the casualties cannot be contained."

Lingyi explained.

"The city will be destroyed? How could it be?"

Hibiki Tachibana found it hard to believe, considering that many sturdy air-raid shelters had been built here due to the increasingly frequent noise disasters.

"It will be destroyed. As for the reason, Phine has too many complete relics. Even if I try my best to invade from the outside, it will probably take more than 72 hours."

“My and Finney’s endurance is sufficient, but the city probably cannot withstand continuous bombing and devastation. At the same time, I don’t think there is any possibility of luring Finney away.”

Lingyi explained the reasons for her judgment.

ps.py, I think it's an amazing book.

Chihaya Aine Has Nine Wings

Orange; Love All; Superpowered Intelligence Battle

Chihaya Aine becomes a person with uncontrolled superpowers due to a disaster, and has to drop out of school in England and return to Tokyo to prepare to live an ordinary life.

But reality doesn't allow it.

She knew that she had been surrounded by the remnants of the former hero team Crychic and had formed a new team.

Unbeknownst to her, her five closest friends were actually members of the highly dangerous supernatural criminal organization AveMujica.

The lamp shouted that it wanted to be with her for life.

Li hope always has a sour face, as if he has a prejudice against her.

Her favorite streamer, Miaomengqin, and her beloved idol, Misaka Chuka, both invited her on dates.

Shoko Toyokawa, shrouded in countless mysteries, lives with her, making bento boxes by day and becoming her nemesis by night.

Add to that Goto Ichiri, who idolizes her, and Iori Nina, who inexplicably harbors feelings for her…

Oh, and every now and then I have to team up with everyone from MyGO!!!!! to battle against AveMujica.

Sigh, in this chaotic vortex, only Nagasaki Motoyo is gentle and considerate, the only haven that can comfort my soul...

Huh? Why didn't Su Shi respond when I greeted her earlier?

Huh? What do you mean by saying I'm not needed?

Don't scare me!

Chapter 164 Domination

"Then, let's talk about the second option. In any case, I can't let Finney continue to cause such destruction."

Looking at Finney, whose sky was still blazing with fire, Chris spoke without hesitation.

She absolutely could not stand by and watch Phineas continue to wreak havoc with the power of the Staff of Solomon that she had activated.

"As those responsible for the defense of the nation, we absolutely cannot allow this to continue." "It is unacceptable for Miss Zi to continue like this."

Naturally, Kazanari Tsubasa and Tachibana Hibiki also expressed their opinions.

While this outcome was somewhat within Lingyi's expectations, it still made her feel a little relieved. After all, if she had really been stuck with Finni for three days, she would have suffered considerable losses. Being able to save some resources was a good thing.

"Well then, be prepared, because there has been no prior experimentation, and I don't know the risks or the success rate."

Zero stopped talking and held the Flash Blade horizontally in front of her, concentrating her energy.
