The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Although I could only stop the blink of an eye at first, over the past few days, I have become more familiar with the use of this ability, and now I can stop time to a length of three seconds."

"Although your speed is too fast to be caught with the naked eye, all of this is meaningless in front of me who can stop time."

As he spoke, he yawned and moved around without feeling nervous.

He raised a finger and flicked Lin Qiao's spider-shaped mask.

"But even if I say this, you can't hear it now."

"so--"

"Platinum Star!"

Chapter 15 The Invisible Challenger

What happened?

Lin Qiao's brain fell into a brief blank.

The scenery in front of me is receding rapidly—no, it’s not the scenery around me that is receding.

The person who regresses is...him?

"ah……!"

It was only later that I felt a clear and sharp dull pain coming from the side of my chest and head.

It was as if at a certain moment, a super strong man beat him up.

There were several punch marks on the armor on the chest, and there seemed to be cracks on the armor on the faceplate.

Bang——

The body flew more than ten meters before falling back to the ground. Under the action of inertia, the body made a "rustling" friction sound with the sand surface.

"What the hell is this...?"

He endured the pain and took a few breaths of cool air.

I have to say that it hurt like hell, but thanks to this, his mind, which was originally overwhelmed by anger because of A2's death, calmed down a little... although really only a little.

The anger that wants to tear the person in front of him into pieces shows no sign of extinguishing.

And rather than being calm-minded, he wanted to see Li Teng's brain racing.

Getting up from the ground, the body's repair ability has already started working from the moment the damage occurred, and the original severe pain is quickly disappearing.

Although this is just a method similar to anesthesia, and it will take some time to truly heal, but at least it will not affect the battle.

And he wasn't even seriously injured in the first place.

After quickly adjusting his condition, Lin Qiao regained his fighting posture.

"Time...stops, stand-in?"

He recalled the last scene he saw before his unknown power flew away.

"The World".

Then it all makes sense.

Moreover, although the distance between Li Teng's last standing position was not much different, it did change like a frame skip.

"It seems you also know my abilities."

There wasn't much surprise in his tone.

Li Teng walked to the top of the sand dune and looked down at Lin Qiao, who seemed to have no other injuries except for some pain.

It was obvious that he had been beaten hard by the Platinum Star when he was at Time Stop, but the result was still violent.

"Hey, your body is really hard, you stinky crab."

He snorted coldly, if it weren't for the amazing defense brought by that armor, everything should have been over just now.

Therefore, stacking armor is still necessary.

“…”

Faced with Li Teng's ridicule, Lin Qiao did not respond.

Although he has figured out the opponent's abilities, it's hard to say whether his substitute is Star Platinum or the World...

No, it's not important

In terms of type and ability, there is no essential difference between the two. They are both close-range power substitutes and can stop time.

The key to the problem is how many seconds it can be stopped.

and…

boom!

Pulling out the smoke gun, he quickly fired an American Iai shot at Li Teng over there.

"Ola!"

A rough war cry sounded. Waving his arms thicker than an adult's thigh, the platinum star beside Li Teng easily knocked away the incoming light bullets.

But from Lin Qiao's perspective, the destructive light bullet fired at Li Teng was his own changed trajectory.

"Sure enough, I can't see it..."

Lin Qiao muttered in a voice that could only be heard by herself.

As a manifestation of spiritual power, only the substitute can see the substitute... although the existence of a system makes this theory not absolute.

But unfortunately, Lin Qiao does not happen to be among this exception.

Not only does his opponent have the ability to stop time, but he can't even see it.

What a worst case scenario!

So, should we retreat temporarily to be on the safe side?

No, that's absolutely impossible!

Thinking of A2's last appearance, the anger that had aroused in his heart directly rejected this steady method.

For Lin Qiao, just standing here and watching that guy talk nonsense was the limit of his endurance.

——Kill him!

It has nothing to do with the system's resurrection, that's all he wants to do now.

Clenching her fists and staring intently at Li Teng on the sand dune, Lin Qiao strode over.

"Hey~ You didn't run away? Did you know that I have the ability of "The World" and you actually walked towards me? It's clear that the artificial man risked his life to get your life, are you so eager to give it back? "

"...If I didn't come closer, how could I kill you?"

"Heh, are you kidding me? But forget it, since you came here on your own initiative, you might as well get closer..."

But before he finished speaking, the muzzle of the smoke gun was pointed at him.

Bang bang bang!

Quickly pulling the trigger, one destructive light bullet after another was fired at Li Teng.

But just like before, the destructive light bullet was knocked aside by Star Platinum.

"Too slow, with this rate of fire, there is no need to use "The World"!"

That's true.

As a rare 5A-level stand, Star Platinum is the ceiling among all stands in terms of speed and strength.

Add to that the exaggerated precision, dealing with the smoke gun with a pistol-like firing speed is not even a warm-up.

Of course, Lin Qiao also knew this.

Just when the two sides approached a range of about ten meters, two extremely huge scarlet spider legs suddenly unfolded behind him.

"Ora Ora Ora Ora!"

In the battle cry that Lin Qiao could not hear, Star Platinum used a high-speed punch that could leave an afterimage, and almost at the same time, he started to hit the two spider legs that were smashing at him.

What a strong force!

Forcibly stabilized his body, controlling the two spider legs to repeat the action of smashing down.

But compared to him who was a little reluctant, Li Teng on the opposite side was still in a leisurely manner, and his speed towards Lin Qiao did not change at all.

Lin Qiao stared at the front where even the air began to vibrate.

There, in the dust raised on the ground, a not-so-obvious human-shaped blank was vaguely empty.

"Is that a substitute?"

There was really no way to judge whether it was Star Platinum or the world from such a rough appearance...

But that didn't matter.

Since the rough appearance could be seen, the things to do were very simple.

He spread out the remaining two spider legs from behind again and attacked Li Teng's body together.

"Heh, you don't think this level of attack will work, do you?"

Even though there were two more spider legs, for his Star Platinum, it was still within the scope of coping.

The vibrations in the air became more intense and frequent, but Li Teng still walked towards Lin Qiao who was standing in place to stabilize his body with a calm mind.

Then——

"Star Platinum·TheWorld!!!"

Just when they were close to each other, Li Teng activated the time stop again.

But——

Just before he stopped time, Lin Qiao was ready.

"SteamBreak!"

"Bat!"

The muzzle of the smoke gun was facing diagonally downward, and Lin Qiao decisively pulled the trigger.

Then——

Time stopped at this moment.

Chapter 16 Star Platinum's Weakness

It is true that time stop is a powerful ability, but unfortunately, with Li Teng's current ability, 3 seconds is the limit.

In this regard, those in the unspeakable anime that stop for an hour or a day at any time are really much stronger.

But if you want to add a Star Platinum with both strength and speed in these three seconds, that's another story.

At least there are not many people who can be stopped by Star Platinum for three seconds.

But at the moment, Li Teng is indeed in a dilemma.

Although he intended to finish Lin Qiao off during the time stop, he hesitated when he saw the purple fatal light bullet that was about to fall to the ground from the muzzle of the smoke gun next to Lin Qiao.

"Area attack?"

He had seen NightRogue's fatal attack before.

To put it bluntly, if he was hit head-on, he would have died on the spot with his physique.

So, as it is now, Lin Qiao's behavior of including himself in the killing range is very uncomfortable for him.

After all, Star Platinum is strong, but as the main body, he is just a slightly stronger ordinary person, and cannot be compared with those physical enhancement system travelers.

He has to die.

Once he chooses to attack Lin Qiao, he will naturally be affected by the explosion of the fatal light bullet after the time stop ends.

At that time, even if he doesn't die, he will be injured - even the distance he is at now is very dangerous.
