Chapter 238: Chapter 238 The Terrifying Superpower
Chapter 238 -238 The Terrifying Superpower
Now, let’s shift our attention from the stunning dream of a queen roasting a whale for lunch and see how things were going elsewhere on the battlefield.
As the member of our group most devoted to the giant cannon bombardment tactic, the first thing that caught my eye was two “Iron Fist – IX” scatter-type Ghost Energy Cannons, situated amidst an artillery matrix formed by one hundred and fifty-five Photon Floating Cannons. They were furiously blasting away at the Assembled Demons scattering and fleeing before them. Behind these massive weapons, which resembled elongated jet engines, hung a metallic valve floating in the air, opening and closing continually. Each time this valve opened, dozens of “Teeth Bone Razor” light fast-attack missiles would whizz past, through the blue spatial portal behind it, causing massive, deafening explosions in the distance.
Eh? Why do I keep feeling like I’ve missed describing something very important?
Under the influence of an embarrassingly awkward sense, I searched among those weapons of mass destruction for a long time, and finally, I noticed a little girl whom I had unintentionally overlooked because of her small stature.
Pandora, who still hadn’t grown an inch taller, was standing behind the floating cannon platforms of the two ten-meter-long Ghost Energy Cannons. Half of her body had already transformed into a complex mechanical form, with numerous shiny metallic energy pipelines extending from her body and connecting to the cannon platform. The powerful energy flowing within even filled the nearby air with a pale blue halo, created by the electrolysis. These thick energy pipelines crisscrossed, trembling violently with every cannon shot. From a distance, Pandora now looked like a little kitten tangled up in a messy bundle of lines—of course, this is a more euphemistic way to say it, as those Assembled Demons, bombarded by this violent loli, would never associate the frenzied little girl across from them with such an animal…
“This girl really hasn’t grown taller…”
After observing for a long time, I finally came to this conclusion, and it’s said that Pandora had been like this for a very long time—a loli who hasn’t grown for hundreds of thousands of years, no wonder she resents her height to such an extent… It’s really quite amazing that Xyrin Apostles are…
Well… for someone who is both a loli fan and a sister fan, Pandora’s physique is indeed a rare and valuable resource…
Over the past few days, Pandora had indeed been suffocated by me. She spent every day watching her soldiers or her allies’ soldiers fighting outside, while she, as the commander of the army, had to stay honestly in the command room, staring at the holographic projector. Although this is what a competent commander should do, for Pandora, this life was akin to imprisonment, only because it was her brother’s will did she choose to obey unconditionally, but now, that damned restriction was finally lifted…
Thus, Pandora fell into an unprecedented state of excitement.
Among us, when it comes to the most unpredictable attack methods and instant explosive power, of course, that must be me. But when it comes to the fighting style that is bizarre and ever-changing and can bring immense psychological pressure, capable of controlling the enemy’s mind, then Sandora takes the lead. As for Qianqian and her sister, their superpowers, which couldn’t be explained by theory, were the hardest to defend against and always produced unexpected effects. Yet, if we were to speak about the most stable and efficient DPS… it absolutely had to be Pandora…
Especially when this little guy got excited…
The result of this little berserk’s excitement was that those unlucky Assembled Demons experienced what a full-screen bullet hell and map cannon felt like. Despite these guys’ incredible physique and flexible tactics, facing a runaway artillery with Legion-level firepower configuration, any clever tactics were just transient clouds. Centered on Pandora, a spherical space of one kilometer radius around her had now turned into a terrifying battlefield with lasers crisscrossing and missiles flying all over. I completely couldn’t understand how her tiny body managed to support the energy supply of those hundreds of powerful cannons. The astonishing power contained within this little one-meter-two tall guy had now fully burst forth. Limbs and pieces of Assembled Demons fell like rain from the spherical space, and everybody, including our own soldiers, wisely chose to steer clear of this slightly deranged loli general…
And I was already starting to imagine the comedic scene of Pandora with smoke rising from her head after the fight was over—this girl wouldn’t stop until she severely overloaded.

Unlike the exaggerated and lively battlefield of Pandora, the fight between her elder sister and Qianqian showed a kind of… peculiarity.
Yes, that’s the only word I could use to describe it. According to the knowledge of superpowers that Lin Xue had instilled in me, superpowers could basically be divided into two categories. One was Lin Feng’s type of Natural system, which utilized natural forces such as wind, fire, lightning, and thunder for fighting—superpowers like these, in a battle scene, bore a resemblance to magic. The other category was like Lin Xue’s Mysterious system; Qianqian and her elder sister’s superpowers also fell under this type. The Mysterious system’s abilities might not have conspicuously gorgeous effects, but their use in combat could be stranger than any other power.
Just like what I was seeing now.
I didn’t stop Qianqian and her elder sister when they volunteered to fight themselves because although these Assembled Demons were formidable, it was only relative to the usual Xyrin Apostles and other enemies we had encountered. These mechanical-biological hybrids were no match for Leader-level Apostles, which meant their strength was still within the acceptable range for me. Even if Qianqian and her elder sister couldn’t handle them, I believed that the High Order Commanders nearby could very well protect their Mistress from harm. And in fact, Qianqian and her sister were more than capable of handling these enemies; their superpowers were more combat-oriented, quite different from Lin Xue’s extremely supportive abilities.
Empowered by formidable spiritual power, her elder sister floated nearby. Of course, since her superpower wasn’t flying, such levitation was limited. She couldn’t rush through the air like Sandora, but even this kind of floating proved how incredibly strong her spiritual power was. This was nothing like Wind Element magic, which relied on a small amount of spiritual power to manipulate Wind elements for flight. In her elder sister’s case, it was purely about levitating through almost materialized spiritual power—the contrast between the two was self-evident. Her elder sister’s ability was a curse, which was a peculiar power chilling enough by the name alone, and she had developed this already dangerous ability to an awe-inspiring extent. Countless Assembled Demons just inexplicably died from various kinds of accidents, and even to their death, they might never understand why they had such misfortune…
Gun malfunctions (could such a low-level fault be possible with Xyrin Apostle’s military technology?), shadow backlash (as a demon being backbitten by Shadow Power…), friendly fire incidents (this could be imagined if one ignored the fact that assembled demons were actually firing forwards but hitting a comrade behind them in the head…), even a cough causing ribcage to shatter, turning one’s head leading to brainstem severance, flapping wings causing all back muscles to necrotize… You couldn’t imagine how unlucky one needs to be for these to happen, yet within a several hundred meters radius around her, these improbable, luckless incidents kept occurring. Every demon approaching her died from such bizarre and laughable accidents, while she herself remained unharmed amidst the encirclement of countless enemies…
Misfortune Transfer—She couldn’t actually make her luck so good that she’d be unharmed in a bullet storm, but she could ensure that every enemy around her was tens of thousands of times more unlucky. According to her, luck, an intangible thing, has its own quantity. A certain amount of misfortune exists, which naturally requires a corresponding amount of good luck to balance. She cast a curse on her enemies around her to become beacons of all misfortune within that area. This way, unfortunate events that should have befallen her were attracted to these even more unfortunate misfortune beacons, like those continuously headshot by their comrades, the “casualty victims” of friendly fire.
Seeing this, unless every creature on the battlefield died, she would never be in any danger—for her, the scapegoats were endless…
On the other side, Qianqian’s method of killing enemies felt bizarre and even more… terrifying…
Although I knew that Qianqian after her personality change would have some cruel tendencies, it was only seeing her fight that I realized my imagination was still too weak…
“Rot away, brief life!” Qianqian shouted loudly. As her voice fell, another assembled demon turned into a disgusting mixture of rotten flesh and metal fragments, scattering from the air. His head was the only organ not accelerated by time, so this unlucky fellow fully experienced the agony of his body gradually rotting, which was instantaneous to outsiders but must have felt like thousands of years of pain for this demon…
Qianqian seemed unconcerned with how quickly she eliminated her enemies, preferring now to let them endure more pain and despair as they died. Each enemy she turned into wreckage suffered thousands of years of pain in a state of extreme clarity before dying, a method of torture that perhaps even demons themselves couldn’t compare with the current Qianqian. Moreover, Qianqian seemed to enjoy using her words to heighten her enemies’ fear during battles, those cruel and bloodthirsty words she must have learned from someone…
After experiencing Qianqian’s cruel methods, three half-rotten assembled demons apparently lost their reason. They abandoned their weapons and, in unison, hurled themselves toward the terrifying female devil, seemingly planning to end their enemy using the demon’s sacrificial explosion. But Qianqian merely gave a disdainful glance and sent a taunting look.
“Let’s see how many pieces you’ll be cut into…”
She spoke with an interested tone, and before the three demons could understand what was happening, their bodies had already turned into hundreds of neatly sliced chunks of flesh, just like neatly sliced ham. Two seconds later, filthy blood and other stuff spurted out from among these pieces, accompanied by the demons’ belated, agonizing screams.
Qianqian had precisely frozen the muscle fibers underneath their skin; then, these high-speed charging demons were chopped by their own muscle cells into hundreds of neat thin slices…
This scene was even more shocking than being blown up into pieces by cannon fire because it was all too bizarre; it seemed as if invisible blades covered the area around Qianqian, completely dismembering anyone who came close.
Simultaneously, other assembled demons who also planned to charge stopped abruptly, choosing to use their magic and firearms from afar for an attack—which only brought on another nightmare.
“Oh, let’s see what was happening before…” Qianqian said in a sinister tone, then snapped her fingers.
A second of Time Freeze, then all assembled demons suddenly discovered their weapons or magic powers were going haywire!
Time Replacement—This was the ability Qianqian launched, slicing a short span of time into two parts, then swapping facts between them, such as making the explosion of a shell occur before it left the barrel, letting the combustion of a Shadow Arrow happen before it was condensed…
Dozens of assembled demons were thus blown into pieces by attacks they wouldn’t have launched until the future.
Watching from afar, I was now soaked in cold sweat—thank goodness I knew what the real Qianqian was like; this version of her was simply overwhelmingly powerful!
