Li Xuan's single shot from 'Tyr's Wrist' blasted the tentacle monster Melk straight into a building by the road. The collapsing bricks buried her, her fate unknown.
However, the consequence of firing a personal rocket on the street was... a sky full of dust, instantly sending the air's PM2.5 levels off the charts.
"Cough, cough..." Everyone, including Li Xuan, started coughing.
"Cough, cough!! Li Xuan, don't just shoot wherever you want on the street next time! Cough, cough..." Kiana warned, covering her mouth and nose but still coughing non-stop.
"Cough, cough... That's called launching a rocket!" Li Xuan corrected Kiana's wording with extreme seriousness.
"Bronya is activating Project Bunny 19C's air filtration system... Request approved, system activation successful." Bronya seemed to have activated her own black technology, standing calmly in the sky full of dust, which was even more terrifying than smog.
"Cough, cough... That tentacle monster should be dealt with, right?!" Mei asked, covering her mouth and nose.
"Uh... I, I think so," Li Xuan said, not entirely sure himself. After all, this was the first time he had encountered a creature that, before his transmigration, only existed in certain... indescribable books. He wasn't too sure...
"It's fine, I'll just finish it off with another shot!" Kiana said grandly, proudly raising the somewhat heavy pistol 'Asgard's Hammer' in her hand. Getting hit by this gun was probably no less powerful than being hit by a cannon... after all, what kind of rocket launcher could produce a lightning effect?!
The azure gun body still gleamed even in the dim sunlight...
Kiana aimed the hand cannon 'Asgard's Hammer' at the small mountain of rubble and bricks where the tentacle monster lay. If she aimed right, a single shot from Mjolnir could ignore the bricks and hit Melk directly. She was confident that the aftermath wouldn't be any better than being hit by a cannon.
"..." Kiana raised 'Asgard's Hammer' levelly and aimed at the pile of bricks not far away. Her index finger slowly prepared to pull the trigger...
"ROAR!!" Suddenly, a beastly roar erupted from the pile of bricks. The next moment, rubble flew everywhere, and a creature resembling a young girl, but with hair whipping around like a tentacle monster, shot out of the stone pile and into the sky! This tentacle monster Melk was a bit different now; a dark blue crystal was embedded in its forehead.
"Eh!" Kiana was thrown off by this sudden change. In her carelessness... she randomly pulled the trigger.
"BOOM!!" A bullet wreathed in lightning and thunder shot out from the muzzle again...
"Needless to say, that's definitely not going to hit..." Li Xuan watched as Kiana fired in a direction that was a hundred and eight thousand li away from the tentacle monster Melk. He felt no emotion, and even wanted to laugh a little...
'If that can hit, I'll go wear a dress...' Li Xuan, wearing the divine armor 'Xuanyuan Festive Garb', once again shouldered the five-star divine weapon 'Tyr's Wrist', which was almost as tall as him and looked completely out of place. 'Looks like it's up to me after all...' Li Xuan thought, aiming at Melk.
And at that moment... the bullet that Kiana had randomly fired... flew past a utility pole by the road, scraping against it and creating sparks. The bullet, its momentum already significantly reduced and its angle slightly changed, continued to fly. It collided with a metal trash can by the road, its momentum decreasing again and its trajectory changing. Then... the bullet flew towards an iron pot abandoned on the ground. The azure bullet, with the slightest margin of error, entered the pot and miraculously slid around the inside, leaving a deep groove, before flying out in another direction...
"ROAR!" The tentacle monster Melk roared at the sky like a lion.
"Bronya's system deduces... the crystal on the tentacle monster Melk's head is its energy center, emitting Honkai energy fluctuations. Recommend firing at the crystal..." Bronya once again demonstrated her ability as an all-purpose little helper, quickly analyzing the enemy's weakness.
"Alright! I'll do it..." Li Xuan shouldered 'Tyr's Wrist' and was about to fire again when...
"Ding! Crack~" Suddenly, the tentacle monster Melk, which had been brandishing its tentacles a moment ago, froze as if its body had been hollowed out. And on its forehead, Li Xuan's target, the dark blue crystal, now had a deep bullet hole, with dense cracks spreading out around it. The crystal had shattered...
The tentacle monster Melk collapsed with a thud... kicking up a cloud of dust.
"What's going on?!..." Li Xuan stared blankly at Melk, who had fallen for no reason. He was completely baffled. I've already taken my pants off—no, I've already raised my cannon, and this is what you show me?! No one had even attacked!
Well... except for the shot Kiana fired earlier...
The tentacle monster Melk, lying on the ground, suddenly melted like ice, turning into a puddle of clear water.
Li Xuan quickly ran over to the puddle and picked up the crystal, which had nearly crumbled into pieces. He looked at it, and in the center of the bullet hole was... a bullet.
'Aaaah!! I kneel before you! This is possible?!' Li Xuan's world turned upside down watching this scene. Is Kiana Kaslana the child of the plane?!
"Aaaah!!!" Li Xuan heard the voice of the 'child of the plane', Kiana.
"Li Xuan! This bottle of water is talking!" Kiana pointed at a glass bottle in the clear water, her face panicked. Water can talk?! How could something so stupid be possible...
"Ah~ I'm so dizzy~" The clear water in the glass bottle formed into a young girl, who said this while rubbing her head.
"..." Mom, the water can talk!! Li Xuan was going crazy. It felt like ten thousand alpacas were stampeding through his mind...
