The result is that it has several times the power of the original, but the range is much smaller.
"I know my limits, okay?"
The baby-powder-scented voice rang in the ears of the three Anti-Entropy members through the communication device; Bronya said this.
How could he not know what the consequences of detonating the silver bullet would be?
Putting aside the political implications, if silver bullets were used recklessly at this distance, Kiana and the others, who were also in this sea area, would not fare any better.
After careful consideration, Jiang still chose to use this method of attack, which shows that he had his own reasons.
Unlike the one in the Sea of Quanta, this Chi You cannot be defeated by firing a barrage of cannons or killing him with a single motorcycle.
After all, Chi You was such a huge creature, almost the size of a mountain.
Even if you're incredibly skilled at speeding on a motorcycle, you couldn't possibly kill this big guy.
"Chi You's reaction hasn't disappeared; it's still alive!"
Relieved, Ain didn't ask about the source of the knowledge about the silver bullet, but instead transmitted the life information about Chi You detected by the warship system to Bronya.
However, the latter seemed to have anticipated this:
"I know."
After speaking, Bronya glanced at the enormous figure emerging from the thick smoke and dust, which, despite groaning, still possessed a strong vitality, and showed little surprise.
"Its healing ability is truly exceptionally tenacious."
The gears in her eyes turned slowly, and the analytical ability representing the authority of the Herrscher of Reason meticulously analyzed Chi You's rapidly healing wounds at this moment, which made the girl sigh with emotion.
His purpose in doing this was to observe Chi You's external defense strength and healing ability, and the result was self-evident.
Even with the silver bullets, whose range was reduced and whose damage was amplified by the Iron Curtain and Vacuum Implosion, hitting this behemoth, they didn't cause much damage.
Of course, that's not surprising.
After all, Chi You is a Honkai Beast known for its defensive capabilities. According to the Honkai setting, non-Honkai energy weapons will be greatly reduced when they hit a Honkai Beast, so this result is not unexpected.
"Chi You has a defensive field on its surface. We can detect several huge Honkai energy reaction sources inside Chi You. If we try to destroy those cores from the inside, the attack should be more effective."
Although using silver bullets directly for bombardment was somewhat reckless, this reckless act also provided Ai Yin with an opportunity to analyze Chi You's data, allowing her to come up with a more appropriate method to defeat Chi You.
"Ah."
Bronya nodded.
According to the original storyline, Chi You was also sent away in this way.
Although he had a better and easier way to deal with this big guy, however...
He remembered that Chi You's body seemed to contain the soul steel left behind by Danzhu and Cangxuan, as well as... the Divine Key, the Xuanyuan Sword.
Although it was just a mass-produced Divine Key, even if it was destroyed, we could get other ones from Hua. However, it was still a Divine Key, and it would be a pity to send it away along with Chi You.
So--
As the power of the imaginary number shifted, the girl's figure disappeared from the spot.
...
"Is this the interior of Chi You's realm?"
Snow-white combat boots stepped onto the dark, damp ground. The silver-haired girl, emerging from the imaginary wormhole, surveyed her surroundings, the gears in her eyes spinning rapidly.
It must be said that the powers of the Law of Reason are truly exceptionally useful.
Leaving aside the power of reconstruction, the power of analysis can help users quickly obtain information, which is very convenient when entering an unfamiliar environment.
The composition of the air, the moisture, and the structure of the walls are all clearly visible.
Suddenly, sensing something, Bronya stopped in her tracks.
"Ji Lin, you're watching me, aren't you?"
The milk powder-scented words evoked a name that shocked those secretly watching.
The next moment, a girl dressed in bright yellow ancient clothing slowly appeared.
"...Do you know me?"
"I have a past with Hua."
Instead of telling the truth, the girl used a more appropriate explanation.
Hua—later known as the Crimson Kite Immortal. Although the latter was more prevalent at the beginning of civilization, Ji Lin, as a friend of Dan Zhu and Cang Xuan, and also a close friend of the Crimson Kite Immortal, had naturally heard of this friend's former name.
"That's right..."
Ji Lin hadn't considered the problem, after all, she wasn't that intelligent, or rather, after a long time, with only remnants of her consciousness left, she couldn't think that much anymore.
Upon hearing the name of her old friend, she instinctively believed Jiang Qiao.
How many years have passed in the outside world?
"It's been about four or five thousand years since your time."
"..."
Is the Crimson Iris Immortal still alive?
"Her current name is Fu Hua."
"A new life, how wonderful."
Having grasped the meaning behind this, Ji Lin's words were tinged with envy.
"May I ask your name?"
“Jiang Qiao—you can now also call me Bronya.”
No longer referring to herself as Bronya, the [Bronya] after her transformation has also completed the metamorphosis from a child to an adult, changing the way she is usually addressed.
"...Are you a descendant of Lianshan?"
The Jiang clan originated from the lineage of Emperor Yan, and in the setting of the game, Lianshan is Shennong—Emperor Yan.
"In a sense, yes."
"...Never mind, I'd like to ask you for a favor, old friend of the Crimson Iris Immortal."
"That's why I came here."
“Eh?”
Ji Lin had clearly never experienced such an efficient dialogue with a riddle master before, and the ancestors of Shenzhou were briefly stunned.
Do you know what I'm going to make you do?
"know."
"To get rid of another corrupt version of yourself, isn't that it?"
The silver-haired girl calmly expressed Ji Lin's thoughts.
"..."
"To deal with this behemoth outside, we ultimately can't avoid the Black Qilin entrenched in the heart of Chiyou. But before that... tell me the location of the Xuanyuan Sword, shall we?"
"...good."
Although he might have some doubts about whether too much time had passed and whether he had fallen behind the times, and whether the generation gap was so large, Ji Lin was not unable to accept this efficient way of doing things.
She wanted to guide Jiang Qiao to the location of the Xuanyuan Sword, but—
"That's too slow. Just tell me which direction it is."
Chi You's body was generating so many energy sources that even as a Herrscher, Jiang Qiao couldn't accurately sense the location of the Xuanyuan Sword. However, once she had a definite direction...
Everything became much easier after that.
To Ji Lin's astonishment, the silver-haired girl directly used the power of imaginary numbers to teleport within Chi You's body.
That movement speed was even faster than her, a female ghost in some sense!
Fortunately, this ancestor of China was unaware of the so-called game, otherwise she would definitely have called it a cheat!
While moving at high speed, Bronya eliminated the Chi You cores one by one along the way with extremely high efficiency, and finally arrived in front of the Xuanyuan Sword.
"It has indeed been pulled out."
Looking at the Xuanyuan Sword lying on the ground, the silver-haired girl revealed a knowing look.
The Xuanyuan Sword is the core item that seals Chi You. Only when this sword is removed will Chi You be fully awakened.
The remnant consciousness of Ji Lin beside him was also sealed within, so it shouldn't have been able to appear in front of him.
Who pulled out this sword?
Bronya picked up the Xuanyuan Sword that had fallen to the ground and looked at Ji Lin beside her with a serious expression.
"...I don't know, when I woke up the sword had already been drawn, and Chi You had also been awakened."
Ji Lin was quite confused and distressed. According to the original script, she should have come out of the seal and given power to the person who pulled out the Xuanyuan Sword to fight against Chi You.
When he woke up, he didn't see anyone. He just wasted his energy in the sword. If Jiang Qiao hadn't arrived in time, he probably would have worn away all the remaining energy in no time.
"..."
