The dazzling fireball that suddenly appeared in the sky and rapidly approached caught the attention of the golden-haired girl who was suspected to be the Hero King but appeared to be just a spoiled young girl. Judging from the momentum of the fireball descending from the sky, anyone with an IQ of more than two digits would definitely be able to sense its power. No normal person would stand there and wait to be smashed.
Furthermore, the strange girl below definitely had a chance to dodge. This landing pod was launched from a battlecruiser parked in low-Earth orbit (Of course, with the support of the Empire's technology, the human warships of the New Eden Federation definitely had the ability to cloak themselves in space, so there was no need to worry about being discovered by humans). Unlike the landing pod we used to come here, which couldn't be slowed down due to the dimensional turbulence, the superalloy that had entered the normal deceleration process definitely left enough time for the person below to dodge.
That was why I immediately grabbed hold of Rin Enosaka and Red A who had reflexively turned around to run. If it was a landing pod that had already decelerated, it wouldn't have been hit at this distance.
But, why was the strange girl who was at the landing spot, even though a red circle of normal landing warning had appeared beneath her feet, and her cheeks were already flushed from the reflection of the landing pod's tail engine, still standing there in a daze?
Run, you idiot!
"Hmph! Although I don't know what it is, it looks powerful. But the dignity of a king isn't something that can be challenged by such a random person!! "
The girl who claimed to be the King said such confident words in an imposing manner. The space around her fluctuated, and then she took out a strange shield out of thin air.
It looked like seven layers of petals, and it was known as the Undefeatable Shield of the Blazing Seven Rings. It was said that each of the seven layers of the shield had defensive power comparable to an ancient city wall. In the legends, it had even blocked the spear thrown by the great hero Hector. Perhaps due to its idol-like effect, it had even risen to the level of being completely resistant to any projectile weapon. It was easy to imagine what the girl who claimed to be the King was planning to take out such a shield at this time.
Is that person an idiot? She's definitely not the real Golden Twinkle, right? The person who raised the shield and intended to resist the landing pod was definitely a brainless idiot who had infiltrated into another dimension and transmigrated Gilgamesh.
Even Rin Enosaka, who was beside me, revealed a dumbfounded expression. After a long while, he finally said, "Did that child get smashed by a spaceship before?"
Just as we began to consider whether the petite girl who seemed to be the Hero King had been smashed in the head by some passing apostle, the rapidly descending landing pod had entered the final stage of its landing. It completed its final adjustment at an altitude of about a thousand meters. The conical cabin that was originally slightly slanted switched to a standard vertical position. Then, it rapidly descended, and within a few seconds, it had already reached the top of the girl's head. Then, a comical scene appeared.
The New Eden Federation's landing pod was designed for human marines. Taking into account the fragility of human bodies, the landing pod would undergo a full-power vibration deceleration before it came into contact with the ground. It would use the powerful jet stream from the rear engine to sharply reduce the landing pod's speed to 10 meters per second before it gradually came to a stop. Then, it would slowly descend the last dozen meters at an extremely slow speed. Thus, the little girl who had been holding up her shield to receive the impact was completely engulfed by the sudden explosion of a huge tail flame that was dozens of meters long. She didn't even have the chance to cry out in surprise.
At the same time, the landing pod continued to descend at an unhurried pace. It looked as though it was patiently barbecuing the unknown creature below.
The few of us were dumbfounded by the side. How stupid would a person have to be to be barbecued in such a situation?
With a whoosh, a figure that was still ablaze emerged from the tail flame of the landing pod. The dumb girl finally gave up on her so-called 'King's Pride' and decisively threw away the burning shield in her hand. Then, she ran out with smoke rising from her body. Unfortunately, by the time she extinguished the flames on her body, her entire body had been completely charred.
"Cough cough … Cough …" The charred figure bent over and coughed violently. As she coughed, she spat out black smoke. That high temperature actually didn't harm her. Should I say, as expected of a Hero Spirit?
"Damn … Damn lowly commoner! Worm! How dare you … cough cough … humiliate me like this! " The girl cursed angrily as she wiped her face. "Even death can't … cough cough … It can't absolve your sins … cough cough …"
A 'chi chi' sound suddenly interrupted a certain 'King's' cursing. The landing pod that had safely landed opened up according to normal procedures. As the disposable armor on the surface fell to the ground with a clang, the little white figure jumped down and fell on her butt.
How could this child be so stupid?
In the nick of time, I condensed energy into a cushion of air to support Little Bubble. Sandora and I couldn't help but laugh earth-shatteringly in the invisibility field. Speaking of which, was this the legendary joy of parents hiding in a corner and peeking at their child's cute actions? Even though the premise was tragic, this moment was really too joyous.
After falling, Little Bubble immediately stood up curiously. She muttered to herself as she looked around. That familiar sensation of spiritual power made Little Bubble very concerned. Following Little Bubble's movements, an inconspicuous little dot suddenly appeared on top of her head. It was just like a special forces member who was hiding in the 'forest' a second ago but was now looking around to find out the enemy's situation. Jingle crawled out from Little Bubble's hair. Following Little Bubble's movements, she covered her eyes with her hand and looked around.
Sandora and I looked at each other. How did these two clowns end up together? Shouldn't Little Bubble, who had mistaken Jingle for food, be the former's natural enemy?
Also, Jingle, what's up with your current appearance? Is this a brand new combined form that you and Little Bubble researched? Is it the legendary me that forms the head?
Just as I was considering whether or not I should remove the invisibility forcefield and go out to feed the two little fellows, a voice full of resentment for being completely ignored suddenly rang out. "Hey! Lowly commoner over there! Are you using such a stupid action to mock This King? "
Is it because your entire body is pitch-black and you have completely blended into the night? Natural camouflage, stupid Miss Emperor.
"Ah ah ah ah?" Little Bubble spat out a series of confused sounds. She looked at the black humanoid figure that only revealed a pair of white eyes and couldn't understand it. On her head, Jingle immediately exclaimed, "Wah! The humans of this world are so evil! "
Miss Tokoro, who was at the side, almost fell to the ground.
"Bastard! Damn lowly commoner! You have to pay for your rude words and deeds! "
First, she was inexplicably greeted by a big fireball that fell from the sky. Then, she was roasted into charcoal because she couldn't resist it. Then, she was ignored because of her black camouflage. Now, she was ridiculed by a strange creature that looked like a pet because of her skin color. The arrogant girl immediately became angry. She roared and suddenly slashed her finger in the air. Immediately, layers of space ripples appeared behind her.
"That is …"
Beside me, Rin Tokoro exclaimed. Even Archer immediately clenched the black and white swords in his hands. It was because the things that emerged from the air were too shocking and even beyond the common sense of most magicians.
Swords, spears, axes, hooks, halberds, bows and crossbows. Countless weapons emerged from the fluctuating space. What was even more unbelievable was the surging magic power in these weapons, as well as the mysterious aura that could not be faked.
Noble artifacts! All of them were actually noble artifacts!
For Heroic Spirits, there was no doubt that a noble artifact meant something. It often accompanied a Heroic Spirit's lifetime achievements and even represented the meaning of the Heroic Spirit itself to a certain extent. It was completely beyond the limits of ordinary weapons. It was a miracle that was surrounded by layers of mysteries. It was the crystallization of humanity's yearning for miracles. A Heroic Spirit often only had one noble artifact in their lifetime, and that was already the strongest weapon of the Heroic Spirit. It could even be used as a sure-kill weapon. However, the girl in front of me actually waved her hand and summoned a noble artifact array that could almost be used in an exhibition!
If Shallow Shallow was here, she would definitely go up and rob the girl without saying a word. After robbing her, she would tie the girl with a ribbon and send her to the Chinese Academy of Sciences to be sold for money.
When Tokoro was shocked by the noble artifact array, I also felt that it was strange.
Using the name of 'I, the King,' to summon an endless array of noble artifacts. This did indeed look like a shining golden Gilgamesh, but why did I feel that there was something off about her?
This feeling of incongruity wasn't because the golden pickup truck, which was supposed to be a handsome old man, had turned into a petite girl, nor was it because she had a brain that could be called an idiot. Even though these two points were enough to make me want to cry, they weren't considered incongruous.
What I found strange was that she would occasionally show some habits, such as her catchphrase of "untouchables." If my pitiful memory hadn't deteriorated yet, the golden pickup truck's catchphrase should have been "bastard" … Fine, I was truly an idiot for thinking about this problem. At the very least, this meant that the girl in front of me had a different personality from Gilgamesh. The second point was the noble artifact array that she summoned.
The Hero King Gilgamesh had a lifelong hobby of collecting treasures. He kept the legendary equipment of other heroes as his own, but most of the items he collected were swords and blades. This might be related to his personal hobbies, but the noble artifact array in front of us had more than half of it being staff-type and oddly-shaped objects of unknown use.
Could it be that Gilgamesh had finally embarked on the path of no return after his unfortunate transformation, due to the immense mental pressure he was under, and he had finally embarked on the path of picking up trash?
"Haha! You must have been scared silly, untouchables! " The girl's arrogant laughter jolted me out of my thoughts. It turned out that the natural black camouflage lady saw that the little girl in front of her, who had "fooled" her, didn't move at all, and thought that she had been frightened by her noble artifact array. "But now, you no longer have the chance to beg for mercy! Since you've offended this king's dignity, it should be your honor to die under the baptism of such treasures … Hey! Are you listening to what I'm saying! "
It turned out that the nameless girl had been talking to herself for a long time, but as the one being threatened, Little Bubble didn't have any reaction at all. She only stared blankly at those gorgeous noble artifacts floating in mid-air, her eyes sparkling from the reflection of the treasures. The little loli opened her mouth slightly, biting on her index finger, her face filled with the glow of yearning and excitement.
Th … I can't even remember how many times I've been ignored like this!
"Pay the price! Damned untouchables! "
After letting out this final angry roar, the dark-skinned King girl finally broke through the limits of her endurance. She raised her right hand high and swung it down with all her might.
Countless Legendary-tier equipment, under this swing, turned into a dazzling torrent of light. This was a storm formed by noble artifacts. Only one person could be extravagant enough to use these great weapons that had once created a new era in such a manner, throwing them out as consumables. In just a blink of an eye, the figure of the little girl with the nameless pet on her head was completely engulfed by this storm.
"Oh no, that child …" Yuan Ban exclaimed in a low voice. He immediately wanted to rush out, but I pulled him back. Looking at his confused gaze, I could only smile wryly and shake my head. "The one who's unlucky is the other party."
That's right, I wasn't worried about Little Bubble's safety at all. The mainframe level psionic shield was secondary, but the most important thing was that the one that Little Bubble wore on her head as a hairpin was a genuine Goddess. I didn't believe that with Jingle's abilities, she would be afraid of a mere Heroic Spirit — and a mere clone at that?
As expected, when the golden torrent engulfed Little Bubble's figure, what came over wasn't the little girl's panicked or pained cries. Instead, it was waves of joyous cheers.
From this angle, we could clearly see that Little Bubble didn't have the slightest intention of dodging the rain of artifacts, which was no less powerful than a round of guided missile bombardment. Instead, she happily pounced forward. The little girl forcefully spread out her arms, and the space around her immediately surged with layers of ripples. No matter how powerful the artifacts were, when they came into contact with the ripples, they were instantly sucked into the ripples. Some artifacts that were further away were lucky enough to escape the swamp-like spatial ripples and stuck into the ground behind them. However, they weren't able to escape from the burning gaze of Jingle, who was acting as a radar on Little Bubble's head. Under the guidance of the Little Bean Goddess, the cheerful little girl turned around and began to happily pull out those shining swords from the ground. Every time she pulled out a weapon, a weapon would disappear from her little hands.
Of course, Little Bubble didn't have any combat experience. She was only collecting those shining "good stuff" according to her preferences. The new mainframe's portable space channel couldn't possibly allow these high-energy aggregations to pass through endlessly. Especially when this silly little girl turned her head to pull out those swords that were stuck in the ground, about a third of the artifacts slipped through the net and slammed into her back.
More than a dozen scepters and spears of different shapes collided with the psionic shield that suddenly appeared, causing sparks to fly amidst the clanging of Jingle.
Unsurprisingly, Little Bubble's defense was very strong.
The Schilling mainframes weren't good at combat. This was determined by their functions. However, as the core module of the entire Empire's base, the Schilling mainframes had to have a strong self-defense ability. On one hand, they had to rely on the mainframe garrison in their portable space to ensure that they could protect themselves. On the other hand, they had to rely on their powerful psionic shield. With the support of amazing computing power and the fact that they didn't consume any weapons, the psionic shield of each Schilling mainframe was not only strong, but it could also "independently calculate the shield strength of each square micron to increase the resistance against long-range attacks." In other words, although she was just a little girl without any combat experience, Little Bubble's defense was definitely stronger than the average Schilling mainframe!
"Wooo … Chirp!!"
After throwing the last scepter that looked like it was made of crystal into her portable space, Little Bubble finally turned around. Looking at the black humanoid creature that had "kindly given her so many gifts," the little girl let out a series of cheerful cries. She gestured with her little hands and her big eyes were filled with anticipation.
Sandora and I exchanged glances. We both put our hands on our foreheads and sighed. "It's over. Little Bubble's secret switch has been pressed. The two collectors have met."
At this moment, the arrogant girl who called herself Queen was completely dumbfounded. The black humanoid creature stood there stiffly. Only a pair of widened white eyes would occasionally roll, indicating that she was still breathing.
"How … How dare you … How dare you challenge me like this!"
She shouted angrily. However, it only caused Little Bubble to tilt her head slightly in curiosity. Then, the little girl spread her hands again with a cheerful smile on her face, waiting for the "kind Black Sister to give her more gifts." This action caused the already dumbfounded Rin Motosaka and Red A to collapse.
What a pain in the ass unfolding this way!
As a heroic spirit, Red A probably couldn't help but rush forward to knock out the silly and embarrassing unfamiliar girl and drag her away. He really, really couldn't afford to lose face like this!
"This humiliation … this humiliation …" The series of provocations almost made the unfamiliar heroic spirit girl go crazy. She even stuttered, "You can't forgive me … Wah!"
It turned out that a small green figure suddenly crossed the distance of space and rushed directly to the tip of her nose, scaring the latter.
Jingle arrogantly hovered less than twenty centimeters in front of the heroic spirit girl. She placed her hands on her hips and said, "Hey! A dark-skinned mortal! Hurry up and take out the rest of the shiny things! As the saying goes, 'I planted the tree, I opened the road. If you want to go from … Ah … Bite your tongue.' In other words, Little Bubble wants the shiny things and Jingle wants candy! We need to raise funds for the event … "
Oh no, Jingle was finally led astray by Liliana. The goddess is starting to learn how to rob people!
