People are collapsing, but the integrated strategy is launched

"So I will just sell you out. You are now the ultimate auxiliary divine key created by our civilization."

[Ah? I've been demoted like this? ]

"As for what my original world was like, look at this Sammy, does it look like the end of the world? Look at this Haisi, does it look like the end of the world? There's no need to explain it too clearly, just let them know it's miserable enough."

"Even my familiarity and liking for Theresa and others can be explained. If you ask, I know your counterpart. If you ask again, your counterpart is dead."

[… Makes sense, it’s a meal replacement literature, right?]

"Hehe, I haven't just been training my strength this month. I also have various plans for the future."

"Well, now we just need to wait until night to raid the playground of Qianyu Academy. When the time comes, I will directly raid the playground at night for Yuno. Based on the speed I tested in the training ground before, she will definitely not be able to react in time."

"Wrapped in armor and holding a hat, robbing the camp is like entering an uninhabited land!"

[You are still steaming, right? ]

Chapter 12 A loud bang in the sky, Xia Ling's shining appearance

At night, Yuno, who was still taking a nap in the teaching building, was suddenly awakened.

She looked out the window with misty eyes, and there was the place where the weapon dropped by the dwarf who had come to attack her was.

If it was an individual weapon, Yuno would have left it stuck in the playground. But as everyone knows, the Oath of Judas is a bond of restraint. In Yuno's detection feedback of the academy, this thing is like a black spot that cannot be wiped off.

And now, this broken thing erupted with a strong burst of Honkai energy in the middle of the night, even accompanied by a little breath of the living.

After carefully checking the surroundings with the vines and making sure that there was no one around, Yuno safely retracted the vines and secretly made up her mind that she would get rid of that broken thing tomorrow even if it meant enduring the pain.

Otherwise, the clanging and banging noises in the middle of the night every day would be a big deal.

At this moment, on the playground, in the system space.

"As expected of an ability awakened after reaching Refinement Level 1, the effect is great." Xia Ling exclaimed with satisfaction while lying on the Snowfield Expedition Team's camp in the system space.

"After accelerating to the extreme, I could even feel the air being liquefied, full of sluggishness. I always thought this feeling could only be seen in novels."

[It seems that Yuno has no suspicion that there is someone hiding here. ]

The system reported back after some investigation.

[The vines on the playground moved only symbolically, and then retreated quietly after finding that no one was around.]

"That's perfect. It proves that Yuno can't see me clearly. The safety factor for tomorrow has increased."

"By the way, system, I forgot to ask you before, can you add some special effects when you teleport me out of the system space?"

[...To be honest, I never thought that a system space could be played with so much by you, the host.]

[There are indeed no special effects, but this is not a big problem. I will find some mods to add to the system tonight. ]

"You're not going to give me some hellish special effects, are you?" Xia Ling's eyes widened. "Like the classic video effects of flowers and animals in the old people's WeChat group, or funny special effects like chairs in a food stall."

[I really didn't expect that... Don't worry, host, I will definitely not cheat you in serious matters. ]

"Don't cheat me if it's not a serious matter!"

【Hey~】......

The next morning, on the playground of Qianyu College.

With one loud bang after another, Xia Ling, who was still being beaten in the training ground in the system space, raised his head in confusion.

"What's wrong? Is it my turn to perform?"

Xia Ling stretched and looked at the system's light screen.

[It should be soon. Yuno has already started forging iron. 】

"Forging iron?" Xia Ling looked at the external situation shared by the system and almost fell off the bed with laughter.

On the playground of Saint Freya, Yuno was seen controlling the vine tentacles and attacking the Oath of Judah with clanging sounds, but the vines and Honkai energy were not even able to scratch the golden cross.

After realizing that the damage was basically ineffective, Yunoyu tried to move the cross away. However, due to the ineffectiveness of Honkai energy and the weight of the cross itself, no matter how hard she pushed, pulled, or tugged, she failed to move the cross at all after working for a long time.

"Don't waste your energy." Along with the pleasant voice came the sound of the white-haired nun's short boots stepping on the ground.

"The Oath of Judah is a divine key made of soul steel and the Herrscher's core. It was originally designed to resist the Herrscher's attacks."

"A mere Hermetic Ruler cannot even scratch it even with all his strength."

"Oh? Is that so?" Yuno stopped attacking the cross and the vines on her body began to wave behind her.

"Although I don't know how you detoxified yourself, you are still very stupid. You actually came back to die again."

Theresa's face flushed with anger at Yuno's sarcasm, and she defended herself loudly, "I was just careless last time!"

"If I get serious, I can easily kill a guy like you!"

"Haha, you're so arrogant." Yuno chuckled disdainfully and raised her hands slightly. The vines behind her suddenly grew and wrapped around Theresa.

"Hmph." Theresa didn't even bother to look at the vines that were wrapping around her. She tapped the cross with her toes and used the force to move forward. Her petite body passed directly through the vines, and then she gave Yuno a heavy kick that sent her flying.

[Host, it's almost done. 】

"Well, take me out."

"You bastard..." Yuno, who was kicked away, had a gloomy face. Before she could speak, her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the scene in front of her.

A blue beam of light suddenly exploded on the playground, forcing both of them to take a few steps back. Then, the beam of light gradually shrank, leaving black and blue fragments in the air.

"Such a rich imaginary internal energy!" Theresa's eyes narrowed and she stared nervously at the center of the light column, because she vaguely discovered that a figure seemed to appear in the light column.

As the beam of light gradually faded, a petite girl curled up in a bright yellow light cocoon, covered in wounds (having just been beaten in the training ground) appeared in front of the two.

"Ugh..." With a groan of pain, the girl in the light cocoon opened her eyes.

"Is this... De-Theresa?"

"you know me?"

Theresa looked confused. She had no impression of the girl who suddenly appeared, but the girl recognized her at a glance and called out her name. Moreover, the moment the girl looked at her, Theresa clearly felt the surprise, sadness and nostalgia in the girl's eyes.

Although I don't know who she is, the emotion in her eyes doesn't seem fake. Let's deal with Yuno first, and then have a good exchange...

Theresa was about to speak when she saw Yuno's vines attacking the girl from behind.

Theresa's heart suddenly tightened. The Oath of Judas in her hand began to emit light and turned into an unfolded form. At the same time, she shouted, "Watch out behind you!"

Seeing the nervousness in Theresa's eyes, Xia Ling was delighted. It worked! All she had to do next was to defeat Yuno step by step, and she could legitimately increase Theresa's favorability.

The collapse energy quickly extended out of the body, forming a bright yellow cylindrical barrier that protected her body. At the same time, Xia Ling hooked her hand back, and the Crescent Rose was fully unfolded from the portable form.

Xia Ling pointed the gun at Yuno and fired several shots. At the same time, he used the huge recoil to jump backwards and stabilized his body next to Theresa.

"Tsk, here comes another helper, but it doesn't matter, you two can die here together!"

The Honkai energy around Yuno began to riot under her control. Dozens of vines were instantly born and pounced towards Xia Ling and Theresa with their fangs and claws.

"No matter who you are, this guy in front of you is a herrscher who threatens civilization. He is very dangerous. You look so badly injured. Hide behind my cross first. After you get rid of her, I will talk to you slowly."

Theresa turned her head and looked at Xia Ling and said seriously.

Chapter 13 System: You've Been Tried by Theresa

"no!"

Theresa felt that her words seemed to have touched a sore spot in the girl. The petite black-haired girl suddenly raised her head with tears in her eyes.

"I am capable of fighting, and I want to fight with you!"

The girl held onto the corner of Theresa's clothes tightly, as if she would not let go until Theresa agreed.

"Okay, then come closer to me.

"Her ability is the vines and the poison attached to the vines, but don't worry, Judas will protect you."

Looking at the girl's expression and thinking about the way the girl called out her name before, Theresa already had some guesses in her mind.

Xia Ling clasped her hands together, and a layer of bright yellow shield was also put on Theresa.

[By the way, why did you make the manifested Honkai energy bright yellow? 】

"This is a tribute to an old man who was taking a walk. My goal is to make the Scissors Hand Sign in front of my own tombstone like him one day." Xia Ling answered in her heart.

[You're still thinking about cutting yourself off, your goal is to make others regret it for the rest of their lives, you're worthy of being me. ]

At this time on the playground, Theresa, with Xia Ling's blessing, approached again. At the same time, the fully deployed Oath of Judas also shot out twelve spears of light, one part of which protected Xia Ling, and the other part attacked together with Theresa, helping Theresa to fend off the vines around her.

Xia Ling did not rush forward to join the close combat. After all, Theresa was so comfortable because she was an S-level after all, and it was easy for her to beat the Herrscher.

With my B-level Valkyrie's close combat skills, if we get too close, it's hard to say who will win.

So Xia Ling put away the sickle of Crescent Rose and began to snipe at the roots of the vines close to Theresa. These vines were extremely thick, and even a half-baked expert like Xia Ling could easily hit them at such a close distance.

The situation seemed to be tilting towards Theresa. The interference of the vines could not break through the blockade of the light spears and sniper rifles. As a student, Yuno was completely defeated by Theresa in close combat.

However, Yuno didn't seem to think so.

"I have to admit that you are indeed very strong. It seems that I could not defeat you without sneak attacks before."

Yuno supported herself on the ground with one hand, and the vines on her body seemed to be drooping. It seemed that Theresa's attack had indeed caused her considerable damage.

"But, I am different today than I was before!"

"Just yesterday, the fluctuations of the Pseudo-Hermaphrodite that I had been feeling nearby and had been interfering with me suddenly disappeared for some reason."

"After the interference disappears, there is no one around here who can stop me from absorbing Honkai energy. My ability has finally achieved an unparalleled evolution."

"Haven't you realized yet? You guys have been poisoned!"

Theresa's eyes showed a hint of panic: "Could it be that the fragrance of the flowers just now..."

"But, I have discovered it, right?"

“?”×2

Theresa and Yuno both looked at the black-haired girl hiding in the back.

Seeing the two people's gaze, Xia Ling tilted her head in confusion: "Why can't you find it? Don't you think that your strange flower fragrance seems a little out of place in a city that has turned into ruins?"

"Plus, Theresa said that your abilities are poison and vines. I didn't expect the connection between them to be a bit unusual."

Ignoring Theresa, whose face was flushed, Xia Ling continued to say to Yuno, "Didn't you notice? Oh, that's right, you didn't touch Theresa the whole time, you really didn't notice."

Xia Ling poked at the bright yellow shield in front of her that looked very elastic: "This shield is not an energy field shield, but a physical filtering shield. Whether it is the poison in your air or the poisonous Honkai energy, it can be completely isolated, right?"

"You...you guy!"

Xia Ling saw through the comeback card. If eyes could kill, then Yuno's eyes at this moment would probably tear Xia Ling to pieces hundreds of times.

"Even if I die, I will take you with me!"

With a roar, Yuno's body began to gradually dissipate, returning to its most primitive Houkai energy.

After all, Pseudo-Laws are a phenomenon that occurs when Honkai energy is enriched to a certain level.

As Yuno disappeared, the vines began to riot.

Although Yuno was furious at this time, she had not completely lost her mind. Knowing that poison was useless, Yuno set her sights on the vines themselves.

Under the catalysis of Yuno at the cost of her life, these vines grew wildly as if they had eaten golden kela, and pounced towards Xia Ling behind.

But obviously Theresa's movements were faster. She had already seen that Yuno was not in a good state, and she had already retreated to Xia Ling's side. Seeing this, Theresa directly opened Judas and pushed Xia Ling into Judas.

"Theresa? What are you doing?"

"You go in first!" Although Theresa was not very smart, her extraordinary power inherited from her Kaslana ancestors still left Xia Ling with no power to fight back.

"These vines can't break the soul steel's defense. You should hide in the Oath of Judah first. I'm an S-rank Valkyrie. Cricket vines can't have any effect on me!"

"I believe you ghost!"

Xia Ling directly activated her speed talent after reaching the first level, twisted her body, squeezed out from Theresa's side, and then kicked Theresa hard into Judas.

"I have my own way to avoid these vines. Just take care of yourself and don't think about self-sacrifice every day!"

The girl's voice sounded a little broken, and she was obviously angry at Theresa's behavior.

As she spoke, the girl disappeared in front of Theresa with a familiar blue light.

"Oh no, did I step on a landmine again..." Theresa recalled the girl's frustrated look just now and felt a little apologetic.

"Let's wait until these vines stop rioting before apologizing to her. We don't even know her name..."
