Chapter 262 -262: Fighting…

The intense collision sparked a dazzling burst of fire before they immediately separated.

Pandora wasn’t skilled in close combat, that was a fact, but that was relative to her terrifying long-range suppression ability. The extremely high agility of her body, coupled with immense strength, inherently bestowed Pandora with respectable melee capabilities. However, she rarely used what she considered to be the “too ordinary” power and flamboyance of close combat, for her inherent extreme ranged firepower made such tactics seem redundant. Likewise, Visca, who belonged to the same series as Pandora, was in the same situation.

However, now, two Leader Level Xyrin Apostles, who specialized in ranged combat, were hacking at each other with a Ship-Slicing Blade each.

Their petite bodies, paired with those two-meter-long massive weapons, created a stark dissonance. Unlike fixed artillery, such a weapon—when swung—undoubtedly necessitated a certain stature—well, actually height. Therefore, both Pandora and Visca unanimously took to aerial combat, at least this way they could avoid the embarrassment of their blades dragging on the ground. The sight of two little Lolis, almost half the size of their weapons, brandishing those enormous Ship-Slicing Blades in the air, was an odd one to behold. Still, no one could deny the formidable power released by such an uncanny combination.

The tiny frames carried massive kinetic energy, and the ultra-high-strength alloy Ship-Slicing Blades, rubbing against the air, generated a scorching white glow. Sparks flew as the blades collided, lighting up two pretty but icy faces. The massive sonic booms turned the constant surrounding explosions to seem distant, leaving only a shrill, seemingly incessant screech echoing through heaven and earth. It wasn’t a single sound, but the merged thunderous noise from countless blade clashes, so dense they fused into one. At the battleground of the two girls, within a half-kilometer radius, the ground was torn with crisscrossing giant scars due to the raging air currents, while at the same time, the air was still filled with densely packed Floating Cannons, which persisted even without their master’s control, automatically executing their pre-set directives, launching continuous bombardments at their last locked targets. Among the dense fire net, the two tiny figures seemed ghost-like and unharmed, growing fiercer as the battle raged on.

Pandora and Visca moved rapidly within the deadly lattice woven by each other’s minions, always precisely keeping themselves in the gaps between Laser Light beams. Again and again, they hurled their lethal blades at each other. This kind of combat definitely exceeded any limits achievable by ordinary life forms; the energy consumed by such high-speed and extreme precision calculations could instantly reduce a normal person’s brain cells to ash, and only Leader Level Xyrin Apostles possessed such formidable data processing capabilities.

Energy was being rapidly exhausted; the already overloaded body structure was emitting warning signals everywhere, the main energy pipelines were on the brink of collapse, and the auxiliary energy systems were also malfunctioning frequently under high temperatures. A small frame… indeed, wasn’t suited for such high-intensity endurance battles…

From the beginning of the fight, Pandora and Visca did not hold back at all, both pushed their output to the maximum. Energy conservation combat mode, high endurance output schemes, and energy recharge systems were all cast aside. Maximum damage, maximum speed, maximum power, all pushed to their limits. Both knew that this battle could not accommodate the slightest hesitation, and in such an all-out combat approach, both young ladies’ bodies entered a state of severe overload simultaneously.

Without a second’s difference in timing.

The result of such a battle was terrifying. Although both exerted their efforts to constrain the scope of their combat, under the unrestrained firing of all kinds of artillery, an area of several thousand kilometers had already become a basin.

Once again, after a fierce collision that turned them into black phantoms, Pandora and Visca paused for less than a millisecond before abruptly separating.

The metallic roar that had continued for over ten minutes suddenly quieted down, the group of Floating Cannons also ran out of power in an instant, falling from the sky.

The ultra-high-strength alloy Ship-Slicing Blades, which had already sustained numerous head-on impacts, were now riddled with dense cracks. Despite the angle of each collision being precisely calculated, limiting the force felt by the blade to the most reasonable states, in the hands of two Leader Level Xyrin Officers, this only delayed the disintegration of the weapons.

The last fierce collision finally exceeded the limits of the blades, and with a clear “crack” sound, both Ship-Slicing Blades simultaneously shattered into metallic dust.

Mechanical overload… had it become so severe that the supply of energy was no longer sustainable?

All the places where energy flowed through inside seemed to have melted…

The alarm system, previously shut down forcefully, had automatically broken through the lock and began issuing the highest level of frantic alerts. Severe energy leakage was occurring in all components throughout the body; the cooling system had already collapsed, now relying solely on emergency cooling devices for maintenance. Both Pandora and Visca’s bodies were steaming with astonishing heat, and the surrounding air showed a faint red tint under the influence of the high temperature. Pandora attempted to activate the weapon system, only to find that the paralyzed energy lines couldn’t even power up an ordinary rifle.

It was as expected… this battle was destined to have no victor… both were the same, and both possessed an unwavering determination to not fail…

Visca’s blood-red vertical pupils flickered ominously, the half-melted protective lines destroyed the last energy pipeline. Well then, the same must be true for that person…

After all, I am your Clone…

But the outcome now is not what I wished to see; that person is still alive, she’s still standing there… so… I must kill her… then prove I’m the one who should exist, and then… Brother will be mine…

The weapon system is useless now… no matter, aren’t all Xyrin Apostles humanoid weapons?

Visca revealed a cold smile and then suddenly accelerated, transforming into a blur, charging towards the little girl in front of her…

I knew this battle would be breathtaking from the start, Pandora’s magnificent barrage has always been a synonym for violent aesthetics.

But unfortunately, by the time Sister and I arrived, the spectacular scene had already ended.

All we saw were two, mired in a giant crater, tussling together, yanking each other’s hair, pulling on ears, biting and scratching like children fighting over candy—two dirty little Lolis…

Honestly, looking at the circular mountain ranges around us that resembled the surface of Mars, I could completely guess how earth-shattering their initial battle must have been. But when I saw the two little girls grappling in this way because their mechs were overloaded, all that was left in my heart was basket after basket of embarrassment…

Those who cry, no matter which one of you’s subordinates were to witness this scene, would definitely despair to the point of sobbing uncontrollably.

Staring dumbfounded for a while, the two little ones engaged in the scuffle didn’t notice my arrival, so I had no choice but to jump down from the edge of the crater and grab one in each hand…

So hot!

I hadn’t even touched them; just getting close to their bodies, the astonishing heat stopped my next move.

No wonder they ended up in this mode; just how overloaded were they!?

After invoking my spiritual power and shielding myself from the high temperature, I unceremoniously grabbed the “dueling” Little Lolis by their collars and hoisted them up. Since their energy systems could only maintain the most basic functions, the two tiny but usually powerful Lolis were now completely defenseless, like real children. They could only flail and protest vainly as they tried to continue attacking each other until I shouted, “You two, listen to me!”

It was only then that they finally noticed my existence…

Pandora looked up blankly, her little head seemingly malfunctioning and less responsive. Under my psychological influence, it took her a moment of “squeaking and creaking” before she finally stammered, “Brother…”

Visca immediately insisted with certainty, “Shut up! He’s my brother! You fake!”

Then she tried to snuggle up to me with stars in her eyes, saying touchingly, “Brother, you’ve finally come for me…”

“I am Pandora, and you are the Clone,” Pandora said calmly in a matter-of-fact tone while steam was hissing from her head.

Seeing Visca was about to lose her sanity from being called a “Clone” by Pandora, I decisively demanded silence again, “Quiet!”

And then the two Little Lolis instantly shut up, trying to kill each other with their glares.

Why do I feel this development is a bit weird?

Wasn’t this battle supposed to be grand? Tragic? Epic? And so on?

But why did the plot take such a sudden comedic turn after my arrival???

If it weren’t for the doomsday-like surroundings, who would have thought these two, resembling sulking siblings, had just fought a life-and-death duel?!

Visca’s response is somewhat excusable given her unstable mind and my arrival, but Pandora, why are you joining in this commotion too?

Or could it be that I, in fact, possess the legendary comedic Halo that drags all serious, passionate, tragic, and grand events into a state of absurdity?

This is a tragic fact indeed.

“I will kill you!” blurted Visca, who had just calmed down, staring fiercely at Pandora.

“You are now a captive,” Pandora said, a hint of triumph in her expression, “You’ve been captured by brother!”

“Not true! Brother came to get me! He will send you away soon!”

…Although I’m reluctant to say this, but girl, you are indeed a captive right now. Can you at least be quiet for a moment?

Just as the two incompatible Little Lolis were about to get into it again, a burst of white light erupted from the horizon and interrupted us.
