V2/Chapter 84: Spicy Maru!
"Is this place so big?"
After everyone passed through the winding broken corridors, climbed the rotating floating stairs that were more than ten stories high, and crossed at least five or six floating islands with completely different styles and themes, someone finally couldn't help but express such doubts.
"It may have been even bigger before,"
As the person who had the deepest understanding of the power of the Herrscher of Domination, Mobius explained at this moment, "The size of the Domination Domain is closely related to the number of Herrschers of Domination. The more Herrschers of Domination are connected to the Domination Domain, the larger the scale of this place will be."
"So this place might have been three times bigger than it is now?"
Dystopia, who asked the question earlier, couldn't help but widen her eyes, "That's really an unimaginable scale..."
"I see. That's why the environment here is so chaotic. Is it because each different place represents a different Herrscher?"
Upon hearing this, Elysia immediately began to observe the surrounding environment. "Hmm~ The main color here is blue. It seems that its owner is a bit introverted."
"You could just say you're autistic. There's no need to say it in a nice way."
Mobius glanced at her and said, "Anyway, the character of the Herrscher of Domination has some flaws, so this is already very good."
"We're almost there."
At this time, Aponia suddenly spoke up, interrupting the conversation between the two people, "I can sense a strong spiritual fluctuation from the front. It seems that this should be the surprise that the Herrscher of Domination has prepared for us."
"Everyone on alert."
Kevin raised a hand. "Move forward in a defensive formation, beware of…"
"There's a sneak attack!"
Before Kevin could finish his words, Elysia shouted a warning. At the same time, she drew her bow and shot an arrow into the sky. The arrow didn't fly far before it hit something, causing a violent explosion.
Then, with the light of the explosion, Kevin and the others could see clearly that it was a huge puppet hidden in the shadows.
It doesn't seem quite accurate to describe it as a puppet, because although it looks like it has the basic features of a human form, it is full of mechanical feeling. In comparison, it is closer to the "Original" that Vill-V had built before.
"Vill-V,"
Seeing this scene, Mobius couldn't help but complain, "Your idea was plagiarized."
"The 'Original' is not that fat!"
Vill-V immediately retorted, "This guy is too bloated and ugly!"
"Be careful,"
Kevin warned at this time, "It's coming!"
As soon as the words fell, the huge figure began to fall and then crashed down in front of everyone.
Then, the "X"-shaped pattern on the opponent's abdomen cracked, and a bunch of dolls poured out from the bloated belly.
"Is this the true form of the Herrscher of Domination?"
Elysia frowned and said, "Well, now even I can't think of any compliments."
"I have a suggestion."
Ato suddenly said, "How about calling this big guy 'the mob'?"
"It's a very good name, and it completely fits the situation of the Herrscher of Domination."
Kevin couldn't help but let out a smile, "That's settled then."
Kosma crouched down, ready to fight: "Captain, what are your orders?"
"Is there any need to ask?"
Kevin raised the greatsword in his hand and pointed it straight at the tall enemy, "Elysia, say hello to our enemy."
The next second, an arrow flew across the dark curtain and rushed towards the embroidered pillow.
However, the arrow did not hit the opponent before it suddenly shattered into pieces, as if an invisible blade had cut it into pieces.
"Please be careful, there are puppet strings all around the Herrscher of Domination."
Aponia's voice reached everyone's mind, "I will share my perception and mark the locations of those threads for you, so don't get entangled."
Just as she said, many dense silk threads gradually appeared in everyone's vision.
Some of them are connected between the embroidered pillow and the doll, while others hang down from the dark sky and pierce into the earth. Others simply emerge abruptly from the air and then extend to the other side and disappear into the air, looking extremely weird.
Even looking further away, one can see countless silk threads extending from various corners as if they are about to entangle the entire area of domination.
"These threads…"
Sakura frowned, and suddenly drew her sword and slashed. Countless blade lights passed through the silk threads, but even if they were cut off, they would recover again, "It's a bit troublesome."
"That should be the embodiment of the power of the Herrscher of Domination."
Mobius also warned, "If you get entangled, your power will be taken away, and the worst possibility is that you may even be controlled by the other party."
"It is possible to have your power taken away from you."
Aponia said, "But don't worry about being controlled because I'm here."
"Aponia, you are too comprehensive, aren't you?"
Elysia couldn't help but smile and said, "I really like you!"
"If possible, I really hope you can stay in the battle sequence,"
Kevin also said sincerely, "However, let's focus on the matter at hand now - battle orders, leave no one behind!"
As if angered by the relaxed atmosphere of the fusion warriors, a deafening roar emanated from the mouths of the mob, and then the puppets controlled by it released their own power one after another: fire, ice, thunder, storm, poisonous fog...all kinds of power rose from their hands and swept towards the fusion warriors like a tsunami engulfing a lone boat.
However, what they are facing is not some small boat that is helpless in the storm.
Facing the final enemy, Kevin finally no longer needed to worry about conserving his strength. He raised the sword in his hand and swung out his strongest sword in today's battle.
Then, extremely cold glaciers rose from the ground, bringing with them irresistible strong winds, freezing the tsunami and the sea together.
With just one sword strike, more than one-third of the puppets were destroyed by the unstoppable force. Even the mob that was not harmed took a step back as if they were frightened.
However, this is just the prelude to the battle.
Following Kevin's action, the others also moved together. Kosma and Ato stepped on the glacier and soared into the sky. Dystopia directly gave the two of them telekinesis and threw them towards the mob. Countless puppets along the way tried to intercept the two, but before they could make any move, they were nailed to the ground by the arrows and could not move.
Sakura did not charge head-on because that was not her fighting style. As an assassin, the fox-eared girl wandered on the edge of the battlefield like the deadliest hunter. Whenever the mob showed a flaw, she would swing her knife straight at their vital points.
Mobius also released her biological armor again, transforming into a giant snake-man and charging through the group of puppets. She knew very well that she was not good at fighting, just like Vill-V, so she only needed to clear obstacles for others, and then someone would naturally deal with the most troublesome guy.
Even Vill-V kept taking out various self-defense weapons from her waist bag, from various types of explosives to autonomous machine gun turrets that automatically searched for enemies and attacked. She even took out a bunch of miscellaneous materials and made a magnetic levitation vehicle for herself on the spot.
After realizing that the enemy in front of them is the final boss, no one will hold back their own strength anymore, and everything, along with the anger towards Honkai, leans towards them.
Faced with the full-fire attack of the fusion warriors, even the Herrscher of Domination, which had more than 3,000 brains, felt flustered for a moment. However, it had many powers in one body and was in its own territory. It took less than half a minute to redeploy everything.
'It's just...why do I feel like I forgot something?'
The thought that suddenly flashed through his mind made the Herrscher of Domination wake up as if from a dream. He broke free from the hazy constraints and looked at the motionless figure in the distance with resentful eyes. He knew very well that this was the influence of the individual with a ridiculously strong mental power on him.
But it's too late to take care of her now, because -
The figure holding a big sword had passed through the encirclement of the puppets at some point and was now standing at his feet.
