"You asked me earlier, now it's my turn to ask you. Don't you think the power the 'GodFather' is using feels a little too familiar?"
----------------------------------
Fu Lin's heart gave a sudden thump, but he still forced himself to stay calm on the surface, letting out a dry laugh,
"Ah... well, Fu Shi, why are you suddenly asking that?"
Fu Shi took in Fu Lin's expression completely and immediately understood most of it, the corners of her mouth lifted slightly as she looked at Fu Lin with a half-smile and pressed further, "Fu Lin, the antimatter engine you brought back, is it still with you?"
Asked like that by Fu Shi, Fu Lin coughed lightly twice, his gaze flickering as he replied, "Ahem! That... I'm not too sure. Maybe it got lost not too long ago..."
Fu Shi pressed again, "Was it on purpose or by accident?"
Fu Lin lifted his chin proudly and said smugly, "It was purposefully by accident. I deliberately threw it on the path Welt II has to take when leaving St. Freya Academy..."
Fu Shi rolled her eyes helplessly and said irritably, "You're really something, Fu Lin! Causing trouble and then having to clean it up yourself."
Seeing this, Fu Lin quickly winked at Fu Shi and patted his chest, revealing a confident smile.
"Don't worry, Fu Shi. I've got it under control. I just wanted to see what kind of sparks technology from another universe would create on Earth, and give everyone a bit of pressure, it won't cause any real trouble. When they really can't handle it, I'll step in."
However, in his heart, Fu Lin was muttering, 'Come to think of it, I still have that Herta puppet stashed in the system space. If I take it out, I wonder what interesting things might happen? Maybe the Herta will directly connect to that little puppet. That could be fun.'
At that moment, the "GodFather" moved again, its massive fist coming down toward everyone.
The others, unable to move, could only watch the attack come closer and closer. Just then, Fu Hua, one of the few unaffected by the "GodFather's" energy wave, flashed into the air. "Inch Force? Heaven Splitter!"
Fu Hua shouted sharply, delivering a heavy punch with fierce wind, slamming it directly into the incoming fist.
However, the "GodFather" was like an indestructible moving fortress of steel, Fu Hua's punch only stirred a few insignificant ripples and a slight pause, unable to cause any real damage.
Seeing her attack do nothing, Fu Hua couldn't help but feel powerless, muttering to herself, "Damn it, am I useless too...?"
At that desperate moment, just as the giant fist was about to crash into everyone and Fu Lin was about to intervene, he suddenly noticed Kiana, whose expression seemed dazed, one of her eyes suddenly flashed with a golden gleam.
'Oh? A last-ditch burst of strength? Hmph, Kiana, you rascal!'
Kiana lifted her head, gritting her teeth, and suddenly unleashed the power of the Herrscher of the Void, enveloping everyone. Feeling the familiar power, Sirin slowly turned her head, her gaze landing on Kiana.
Then, under the power's effect, everyone felt their vision blur. In the next second, they were teleported to the plaza of the Schicksal headquarters.
After using the Herrscher of the Void's teleportation ability for the first time, Kiana was instantly drained.
She was now bent over, hands on her knees, gasping for breath, her chest heaving violently.
Sirin floated to Kiana's side and gently placed a hand on her back.
A warm energy flowed from Sirin's hand into Kiana's body, rapidly spreading within her, relieving her exhausted body from the overuse of power.
Feeling the change in her body, Kiana's breathing gradually steadied, and the pressure in her chest eased. She lifted her head and gave Sirin a grateful look.
However, before Kiana could speak, Sirin suddenly said, "You… not bad. You've already managed to wield my power. But compared to the other you, you're still lacking, she could already use my power skillfully at this stage."
That sentence was like a bucket of cold water, pouring mercilessly over Kiana. Her once-grateful heart was instantly replaced by irritation.
She lifted her head, looking somewhat annoyed at Sirin.
"Damn it, if you can't give a compliment, don't try!"
Kiana's voice carried a hint of frustration, "And besides, we're the same person, why is the other me so much better? I'm not okay with this! Ugh, the other world's me being too good is actually a bad thing, it makes me look average!"
Hearing Kiana's grumbling, Fu Lin felt secretly smug from the side, 'Sorry, but that's all thanks to me. Heh.'
At that moment, a loud boom came from afar. Everyone turned to look and saw the grand cathedral collapsing under the pressure of the "GodFather", dust billowing into the air.
From the ruins, only one massive mecha slowly rose, then stood still like an unshakable mountain.
Theresa's face darkened, her coronation ceremony had been ruined just like that. Her heart flared with anger and grievance. She turned to Otto and said, "Grandpa, use that super-genius brain of yours and think of something!"
Otto, "Theresa, the energy core is often the weak point of a mecha. If we can destroy the 'GodFather's' energy core, we might be able to stop it!"
Cecilia nodded, "Lord Otto is right. As long as we find the location of the 'GodFather's' energy core and concentrate our firepower, everything can be resolved!"
While everyone was discussing strategies, the "GodFather" began to stride toward them, each step making the ground tremble.
At the same time, Theresa and Kallen's eyes were filled with battle spirit, and they shouted in unison, "Judah!"
In the next second, a brilliant light flashed, and the Oath of Judah appeared between Theresa and Kallen as if teleporting.
Unexpectedly, after appearing, the Oath of Judah did not immediately fly toward either of them, but hovered in the air, looking left and right, seemingly hesitating on whose hand to go to.
Theresa looked at Kallen in astonishment, completely unprepared for the other to summon Judah at the same time.
However, when Theresa remembered that the Saintess had once been Judah's previous master, her subconscious summoning of the weapon seemed reasonable.
Even so, her heart was still filled with unease, and she silently prayed, "Judah, you'll choose me, right?"
Meanwhile, Fu Lin stood to the side, a mischievous smile on his face as he observed the scene with great interest, wondering to himself,
'Interesting, very interesting, a choice between the former and the current master?'
Then, under everyone's gaze, Judah flew toward Kallen. Theresa stood frozen in place, somehow feeling like she'd been publicly humiliated.
