Void Archives raised his fist towards Bronya and exerted force under his feet, lunging forward.
"Hu!"
This punch was extremely fast, and the fist tore through the air with a whistle.
But for Bronya, its intent was too obvious. With a light step under her feet, Bronya activated the "Moon Ring", humming to increase power, allowing her to float up and dodge Void Archives' fist.
The attack landed in empty space, and the missed strike also caused a small shockwave, scattering the air and flipping a small piece of tile.
Bronya frowned. "This body doesn't seem like created from ordinary mimicry. Could it be that you're using Otto's Soulium body?!"
Void Archives' dull eyes lasted only a few seconds before becoming lively again. His resistance seemed to have some effect as he regained control of his facial features.
Listening to Bronya's question, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your perception is good... Unfortunately, I'm not in control of myself right now."
"Tsk."
Otto Apocalypse's body made of Soulium, besides being expensive, had no obvious drawbacks.
Soulium, a material from the previous era's civilization, not only resisted honkai but also self-repaired. It was generally used in weapons or to store important research data.
Otto had made a bunch of replacement bodies for himself, using up half of the Soulium materials found on Earth.
Luo Lin felt embarrassed. The bullets she fired at Void Archives sparked brilliant fireworks on his body, but most of them were deflected.
Even with the Honkai Energy, the girl could only leave a few scratches on the Soulium body and slow down the opponent's momentum with the impact force.
Himeko skillfully wielded the Labor of Olympus and the auxiliary Greatsword, suppressing Void Archives with continuous slashes, forcing it to change its posture and summon a golden barrier to protect itself.
But Himeko was waiting for this moment. Her armor's device modules behind her opened up, transforming the Labor of Olympus once again into a massive energy sword.
With a roar, three slashes shattered its barrier!
The light blade fiercely struck Void Archives' waist, sinking halfway in with a hissing sound!
Himeko exerted more force, but the weapon couldn't advance.
Void Archives even pressed his hand against the energy sword. Clenching the blade with one hand, the other waved lightly, creating a powerful shockwave centered on it, pushing Himeko and the Labor of Olympus away.
Timido entered the fray from the outfield, lifting her leg to kick out a cold light, but Void Archives easily caught it. The pink-haired girl reluctantly abandoned her attack and twisted her body to escape the opponent's range.
A large cut dripped a few drops of molten liquid from Void Archives' waist, emitting a golden light from inside the wound.
For it, which had no sense of pain, this injury hardly affected the battle.
Bronya frowned. "Solid...?"
"Otto has always considered himself human. He installed a digestive system or other things in the Soulium body to provide a sensory system no different from humans—but I'm not Otto, so I made it solid," Void Archives explained with a special sword style appearing in his hand, aimed at Timido gliding outside the arena.
[Mimicry · Judgement of Shamash]
Timido didn't quite understand what it was, but Luo Lin, Bronya, and Himeko all changed their expressions. The three of them had witnessed its power, even in mimicry form, it couldn't be underestimated.
Bronya hurriedly warned Timido, "Avoid its sword slash!"
Timido instinctively obeyed the command. Red flames burned from afar as she forcibly stopped her forward momentum and urgently summoned an ice bridge!
[Mimicry · Judgement of Shamash]'s attack passed in front of Timido, and the high temperature made the girl's pink hair slightly dry and curly.
Her face turned pale, and she accelerated again, carefully watching the gradually dissipating mimicry Divine Key in Void Archives' hand.
"Oh, now I have time to explain my plan to you—hope you can hold on a bit longer and let me finish talking," Void Archives said, seemingly accepting the situation where he didn't control anything but his eyes, mouth, and thoughts, and began to ramble.
"Bronya, do you really think sealing the Honkai on the moon is foolproof? It's not far from humanity, and humans can even reach it without relying on the Honkai."
Void Archives floated up, his whole body enveloped in a golden cube barrier. Bronya's energy bullets hit it, only making a dull sound.
"So, I called for some help—[Sky People]."
The next moment, a golden cross accompanied by two figures descended from the sky and inserted into the Lionhead Bay Bridge's road surface.
[Mimicry · Oath of Judah's] and two other Soulium bodies.
"At least you have some guesses in your hearts, don't you? In today's world, what organization besides us has technology that even Schicksal hasn't mastered?" Void Archives said.
"At least, it doesn't exist on this planet."
Timido exclaimed, "Ah, are they aliens?!"
Luo Lin turned her gun and sprayed the other Soulium body with her assault rifle while rushing towards the mimicry Divine Key. She took out two explosives and smashed them on the golden cross.
"Boom!"
After the explosion, there were obvious cracks on Mimicry Judas, but it still stubbornly unfolded, shooting out chains and spearheads.
"Their names have many: hunters from the starry sea, plunderers, star devourers... [Sky People] travel from one galaxy to another, harvesting all usable energy, leaving behind countless dead planets."
Void Archives, under the shield's cover, watched as the chains of Mimicry Judas shot out like snakes, tracking their targets.
Luo Lin's face looked strange as she rolled to avoid the chains' pursuit.
She felt somewhat familiar—up to now, most of Void Archives' moves were not exactly the same as [False-God Otto], but they were almost identical.
Even the angle of Mimicry Judah's chain tracking carried Otto's charm.
Didn't you once say you wanted to persuade Otto to become your slave? Look at you now, using Otto's Soulium body, fighting with Otto's boss template, and almost no difference in thought!
It's already completely Otto's shape!
Unfortunately, Timido couldn't dodge the chains' pursuit and was unexpectedly caught off guard!
"So you think bringing aliens here is a good idea?"
The drone birds flying around Bronya returned to her hand, forming a blue light sword with her firearm, chopping off the chains entangling Luo Lin and Timido.
"Why... do you have no reason to see humans as enemies? You should also want to expel the Honkai—not, you are born for this existence."
Bronya realized something and questioned, "Do you want aliens to take away the Honkai energy?!"
"Exactly!"
Himeko held up the light sword and kicked away the second attempt to condense the Judgement of Shamash's Soulium body. She pounced over and tore the opponent's body apart with X-shaped flames.
Saint Freya's teacher said coldly, "Humans don't need aliens to help us overcome the Honkai!"
"Himeko, and the intact Vermillion Knight · Lunar Eclipse Armor... I'm curious how you two appeared here," Void Archives squinted, looking at her and Luo Lin, "Could it be... Ah, I understand, you two are anomalies..."
"What anomaly?"
Void Archives raised his hand, and a golden spear descended from the sky, emitting a dangerous wave in the center of the arena—
[Mimicry · Black Abyss White Flower]
"I don't know," Void Archives said quite cheekily, "I'll know once I catch you and study you, but... the guy controlling me doesn't seem to intend to go easy on you."
"Then let's knock you down first and talk!"
