Chapter 672 The Hellcat's Counterattack
[Special Mission: Retrieve all data from the mental world; Completed]
After glancing at the contents displayed on the Secret Codex quest page, Su Tianqing continued to focus her attention on the witch emerging from the steel monster's body on the live stream screen.
A brand new witch theme – Fantasy Witch.
With the help of the data that Rabbit and Cat retrieved from the mental world, and the investigation by Automatic Transmission Moon Sky Heart, Su Tianqing obtained all the activity experiences and magical characteristics of the Domain Monster in the mental world. With the assistance of the Secret Codex, she successfully developed this theme.
The "Molten Iron Heart" is currently the only technology demonstrator, a prototype designed to test the combat effectiveness of the witch in the complex conditions of the mental world.
"Another unexpected figure emerged from inside the steel monster!"
Xin Yuehu's commentary echoed once again in the world of mental images and the live broadcast room. The background music suddenly switched to tense and short drumbeats, which was quite unexpected.
"What is that thing?! Heart Moon Fox! You're the one who did this!" Bai Ling was perched on Iris Flower's shoulder, peering out with her camera focused on the Molten Witch. She shouted loudly towards the deserted area, knowing full well that Heart Moon Fox could hear her.
"Oh dear, to doubt me at a time like this... Miss Bai Ling, you should know that the Mind World is currently under the control of Miss Qiu Gui and the others. How am I supposed to project such a strange witch under everyone's noses?"
The fox spirit's light laugh left Bai Ling speechless. The barrage of comments like "Fox Spirit with a Black Curtain" that had been flooding the live stream vanished as everyone completely believed in Su Tianqing's flawless response.
Who says nothing in the world is perfect? This impeccable response is perfect.
Even Qiu Gui completely believed Xin Yuehu's answer and was already working on restarting the combined mecha in a desperate attempt to fight back.
"There's no other way, activate the backup hidden power!" Qiu Gui shouted, pulling a red lever inside the cockpit.
In an instant, magic power flowed from the backpack-like device on the back of the mecha, supplying its entire body. The Super Galaxy Seasons Machine God stood up again, assuming a battle stance to face the witch.
Wait a minute, do you guys have to include some kind of mysterious, hidden backup energy source when you're making a combination mecha? Isn't this thing just a counterweight when you're not using it? Su Tianqing thought to herself.
Although the meaning is unclear, it was quite cool to pull this off at such a crucial moment. At least the viewers and Tian Nanxing and his friends around him cheered and shouted famous lines like "Take her down in one fell swoop!"
Very good, excellent.
This is exactly the scene I wanted to see!
In order to defeat the powerful opponent, the combined machine god chose to use its last resort, trying its best to stop the opponent in the mental world, so as to prevent the witch from invading the mountain city in the real world... Such a wonderful magical girl's will is simply too delicious.
However... simply activating the hidden energy source shouldn't be enough to defeat this technology verification prototype that I, the fox, painstakingly created.
Su Tianqing was overflowing with joy, a happy smile spreading across her face. But when facing the live stream camera, the audience interpreted this smile as genuine delight while commentating on the battle scene.
What will happen next? Will the Molten Witch defeat the Four Seasons Mech of Autumn Osmanthus and break through the mental barrier, or will the magical girls unleash their will and defeat the powerful enemy?
I'll just be a spectator and enjoy the exciting battle that's about to unfold.
“…………”
The Molten Witch raised her face, woven from steel, her eyes glowing with a dangerous crimson light, and stared directly at the Four Seasons Machine Gods, who were in battle stance. It seemed she could see right through the armor outside the cockpit and meet the gazes of Aki and the other three.
She climbed from the ruins of Monster 12 to the top, revealing her metallic body. Guided by magic, she melted the armor metal into a silver gown woven from steel.
"Interesting..." Hellcat grinned, shaking his cat fist as if eager to rush up and test the opponent's strength.
Seeing that the cat was about to enter its unstoppable cat-fist mode, Su Tianqing wanted to find an opportunity to connect to the magic communication to make the battle-crazed cat restrain itself and not break its new toy so quickly. This fox was still hoping to collect more combat data.
Before Hellcat could take two steps forward, a dazzling magical light suddenly shone from beneath the feet of the Molten Witch—the shockwave exploded and flew far away, and her body rose from the ground, arriving in front of the mech piloted by Qiu Gui in the blink of an eye!
"So fast?!"
Before it could even utter that one sentence, the Four Seasons Mech was struck by the magic cannon beam unleashed by the Molten Witch. The immense impact sent the mech staggering back several steps, crashing into an office building and sending up countless shattered tiles.
Hellcat followed closely behind, but the Molten Witch had no intention of engaging in close combat. She accelerated again to dodge an attack and used a barrage of missiles to suppress Hellcat, preventing it from keeping up with her unpredictable mobility.
"Well……"
With a casual wave of her hand, Hellcat squinted as she tried to find her opponent's trace in the dust, but the barrage of missiles kept coming, giving her no chance to charge forward.
Being held back by the enemy's mobility and firepower, the catgirl couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
The Molten Witch had anticipated that Hellcat lacked powerful ranged attacks, and that the magic missiles enhanced by mental imagery were not something one could simply withstand blindly—they really hurt when they hit the body. Probably only Hyacinth and a certain super-durable masochistic wolf could charge through such barrage of fire.
"Achoo! I have a feeling someone's talking about me?" Fenrir sneezed loudly and muttered to himself.
"So fast...too fast, she flies faster than a Hellcat!" Tian Nanxing, who was watching the battle on the screen, couldn't help but exclaim, and Bern Mountain's dog tail kept wagging.
"But why doesn't she use the Shadow of the Stars?" Shuoye asked curiously.
Then, Tian Nanxing and Two-Colored Alice explained to her that the Starry Shadow of a villainous magical girl is not something that can be used lightly—although such trivia does not actually exist for the catgirl.
Hellcat hadn't forgotten what Fox had told her: Once inside, don't use Star Shadow lightly, or it won't be fun if you knock down the monster and Qiu Gui with just two punches.
"Iris, is there a way to aim at her?"
After glancing at the Qiugui mech, which was crushed into the rubble and unable to get up to fight, the catgirl chose to place her hopes on her temporary companion who was controlling the twin magic cannon.
Iris was frowning as she tried to aim, but whenever she was about to fire, the Molten Witch would use her excellent mobility to dodge the muzzle and the line of fire, slipping away like an eel.
After several unsuccessful attempts to lock onto her opponent, Iris could only reply in frustration:
"I couldn't aim at her, she was flying way too fast."
"I see," Hellcat said, already fully aware of the tactics needed.
To deal with such a highly mobile opponent, you need another person with equally high mobility to keep them occupied. If that person could also "incidentally" bring along the powerful Iris Flower along...
"Fox, change the player."
Hellcat said this out of the blue.
The next second, the catgirl's figure suddenly disappeared in the mental world. Qiu Gui, who was forced to deploy her defense as she climbed out of the ruins in her mecha, was also taken aback and didn't quite understand what she meant by "change the person".
It wasn't until a silent, high-speed black shadow swept across the sky, and the jet-black eagle-owl girl hurriedly landed beside the iris flower through the rift in the mind's image, turning her head—capable of a 180-degree turn—with a bewildered expression to look around, that the girls finally realized what had happened:
Shuoye! Wasn't her superb flying ability made perfect for dealing with this situation?
Not only can it use flying magic to transport people, but it also possesses agile mobility and super-high speed enough to break through Garuda's blockade line, making it the perfect synonym for "mobility".
"Coo-oo!? Do you want me to go??" Startled by this unexpected assignment, Sakuya let out a cooing sound and asked nervously.
"You don't need to fight her, Shuoye. You just need to use your flight magic to carry me, and I guarantee you can keep up with that guy's movements..."
The iris answered softly.
"Then I can seize the opportunity—and unleash a volley of fire on her."
