Camilla fell silent upon hearing Chen Yu's words.
With the dark giants unsealing the darkness upon the world, Yulyen, once the commander of the Earth Defense Team, would certainly help humanity find more slumbering giants of light, especially with the Inheritor of Light by her side.
After all, only by finding the giants of light could they gain the power to fight against the darkness.
"So, if I kill them now, the giants of light won't be able to awaken, right?"
Suddenly, Camilla said, looking towards Chen Yu.
Chen Yu: "..."
He had thought the newly awakened Camilla would be easier to deceive, but Chen Yu found he was mistaken. This elder sister's thought process was incredibly unique and should not be anticipated with normal human logic.
"How about this," Chen Yu suggested. "I'll imprison the two of them first, then force them to reveal the whereabouts of the giants of light. After darkness re-covers the Earth, we can then eliminate these giants of light one by one."
"Hmm, let's do as you say."
Hearing this, Camilla nodded, finally agreeing to Chen Yu's method.
It was indeed a good idea to imprison Yulyen and extract from her the locations of the giants of light.
Seeing Camilla's agreement, Chen Yu casually conjured a dark barrier, enveloping Yulyen and Da-Gu within it, then approached Camilla.
"Camilla, I know you still hold grievances against me." Looking at Camilla, Chen Yu persuaded gently, "Let's have a battle, we haven't fought in thirty million years. Let out all the resentment in your heart."
"No, I've already forgiven you," Camilla shook her head, telling Chen Yu, "Because I know, you sealed us for our own good."
Chen Yu: "..."
Wasn't it supposed to be?
The warrior of love and hate should have mixed feelings, so why forgive me so easily?
"Camilla, do you really not hate me anymore?" Chen Yu continued, "Think about it. I once betrayed you and became a giant of light..."
"That's understandable," Camilla replied. "Tiga, it seems your personality has undergone a drastic change over thirty million years."
"Actually, I died thirty million years ago," Chen Yu bluffed, "But I was reincarnated in this era with some of my memories, so it's normal for you to feel that my personality is different."
"Hmm? Reincarnation?" Camilla sized Chen Yu up and down, then said, "No wonder you have no aura of Tiga when you're not transformed."
Camilla was successfully deceived on this front.
However, what troubled Chen Yu was that Camilla refused to fight him.
After all, Camilla and Tiga were lovers thirty million years ago, and now that she had forgiven him, starting a fight proved to be difficult.
Looking at the mission message received, Chen Yu accepted the flight ability obtained after defeating Hitra.
Then, he looked at the last mission: [Defeat Camilla].
Essentially, the mission required Chen Yu to defeat Camilla, even possibly defeating her berserk form, Demosjia.
Analyzing the text, Chen Yu suddenly noticed a loophole.
Defeating Camilla didn't specify how she had to be defeated.
Perhaps making her concede in some other way could also fulfill the mission?
With this bold idea, Chen Yu approached Camilla as she returned inside the Luluye ruins, saying, "Camilla, let me teach you a game from this era. It's called Rock Paper Scissors."
"Rock Paper Scissors?"
Explaining, Chen Yu started teaching Camilla the game, setting a best-of-three rule.
Solving such a big problem with Rock Paper Scissors was unprecedented!
Playing this game with Tiga was something Camilla was quite happy to do.
It had been thirty million years since she last felt this way.
After a "battle," Chen Yu ultimately lost to Camilla.
It was a game of luck and guessing, after all...
However, Chen Yu didn't expect to lose the following rounds to Camilla as well.
Chen Yu was somewhat dumbfounded for a moment.
Camilla, on the other hand, was very happy, laughing genuinely for the first time in thirty million years.
"Camilla, one last round!" Chen Yu, not willing to admit defeat, said to Camilla, "I refuse to believe I can keep losing!"
After saying this, Chen Yu and Camilla waved their hands again to start another round of "Rock Paper Scissors".
Persistence pays off, and finally, Chen Yu won the last round. However, Camilla wasn't upset since she had won the previous rounds.
After winning, Chen Yu's mind actually received a mission notification:
[Mission three completed, obtained the Shining Power ×1!]
This bug was the most satisfying one Chen Yu had ever exploited!
Simply by playing Rock Paper Scissors, he claimed the "Shining Power" mission reward!
This added yet another layer of self-preservation to his abilities.
...
Outside the Luluye ruins.
Da-Gu and Yulyen were still inside the dark barrier.
Zofune and others ran out at this moment, finding the dark barrier that held Da-Gu and Yulyen.
"Da-Gu! Captain, are you alright?"
Rena, anxious, shouted into the barrier.
"We're fine," Da-Gu responded. "Rena, don't worry, we'll get out."
"But this dark barrier, we can't break through it!"
Shinjo attempted to fire the Victory Hyper Gun's attack but found it incapable of penetrating the surface of the dark barrier.
"Tiga wouldn't really trap us in here, would he?"
Da-Gu said, somewhat worried.
"No," Yulyen was certain, "Tiga trapped us here for our safety; otherwise, the dark giants would have killed us already."
"Yulyen, do you still have the Spark Lens?" Da-Gu asked, looking at Yulyen, "If you do, I can still transform into Tiga and fight!"
"Why would I have the Spark Lens?" Yulyen smiled and said, "Haven't you said before that everyone can become light through their own strength?"
"Yes, everyone can become light through their own strength, so what am I thinking about?"
Da-Gu had an epiphany and sat down cross-legged, closing his eyes.
Meanwhile, the members of the Victory Team took excavation tools from the jet, planning to dig a tunnel to release Yulyen and Da-Gu.
Just as Da-Gu was meditating and the tunnel excavation was halfway done, the barrier suddenly disappeared.
