Seeing that the other party was still depressed, Kiana changed her approach.
"You are my golden finger! How can you be a coward?"
Kiana put her hands on her hips and spoke to the purple light mass with an encouraging tone, "Besides, that white-haired Iceberg Guy from last time, wasn't he just some broken guy who shoots ice? He's cold and stiff, how could he compare to you, my Miss golden finger!"
The purple light mass moved, seeming to sit up a little straighter, and the low pressure began to ease.
Kiana struck while the iron was hot, praising wildly: "That fire-user outside? He looks like a maniac who only knows brute force! He's fierce, but how can he compare to your power to control space? I bet he's definitely not as strong as that Iceberg Guy from last time! Miss golden finger, if you just get a little serious, you can absolutely flatten him! Let him know who the boss is here!"
She could clearly feel that the opponent's arrogance and confidence, which had been nearly shattered by Kevin's blow, were rapidly swelling again, even more... elevated than before.
The outline of the purple light mass seemed to become clearer and more imposing.
Finally, the purple figure stood up completely, and the blurred face seemed to lift into an arc of arrogance.
"Hmph! Good thing you know your place!"
Sirin's voice returned to its usual arrogant tone, echoing with an ethereal resonance, though if listened to closely, one could still detect a hint of forced awkwardness, "Speak. What suicidal fool is it this time? Her Majesty is in a good mood, so I'll use him to stretch my muscles."
Kiana quickly said, "It's just a guy playing with fire, super irritable, hitting anyone he sees! But I definitely don't think he's as strong as you! Miss golden finger takes the stage, she's worth two of him!"
Sirin was so flattered that the vague purple figure almost emitted a glow of "This King is Invincible."
"Hmph! Just an ant! Open your eyes and watch closely, insect! I'll show you what true power is!"
As her voice fell, a powerful will instantly took over.
Inside the training room, the "Kiana" who was being suffocated by Kalpas's stormy assault, suddenly had a change in her eyes!
Her originally azure eyes were instantly replaced by a brilliant gold, and her pupils contracted.
Her aura suddenly elevated, transforming from a struggling girl into a queen looking down upon all living things.
Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, makes her grand entrance!
Then, right in the center of her vision, she saw a fist the size of a clay pot, burning with raging fire and carrying an air-tearing shriek and heat high enough to melt steel, solidly smashing toward the beautiful face she had just taken over!
The distance was so close she could even clearly see every wisp of flame dancing on the fist!
Sirin: "...?"
The power she had just gathered, her elevated emotions, and her prepared entrance lines were all smashed back down into her stomach by this unexpected and perfectly timed straight punch to the face.
"BANG—!!!"
A massive sound, more muffled and solid than any previous impact!
Sirin, who had just completed the personality switch and hadn't had time to make any defensive or evasive moves, was like a baseball hit with full force. Her entire body formed a graceful parabola, spinning an unknown number of 720-degree rotations in the air, before landing with a "splat" in an extremely undignified posture, face-down on the distant metal floor of the training room, sliding for quite a distance and trailing a faint wisp of black smoke.
The scene froze for a moment.
Kalpas maintained his punching posture, tilting his head. The expression beneath his mask seemed puzzled: "...Huh? This punching bag... its aura seemed to change just now? An illusion?"
Xing, holding her baseball bat, stared dumbfounded at the scene, subconsciously swallowing. In her mind, she lit a candle for "Kiana": "Oh my god... Kiana... that's pretty rough..."
She looked at the motionless figure lying face-down and began to worry if the opponent had been broken.
Meanwhile, in the Consciousness Space, the real Kiana pressed her palms together and gave a small bow to the air, her face showing insincere apology:
"Sorry, sorry, my Miss golden finger~ Who told you to 'just happen' to come out at that exact moment? This is called 'face swelling before the campaign even starts.' Yep, it's not my fault!"
(But she was indeed feeling a little guilty.)
Just as Xing was considering whether to go check if "Kiana" was still alive, and Kalpas began to think the punching bag might be broken
—
"Mmm... Ugh..."
The figure lying on the ground moved.
She propped herself up with one hand, held her forehead with the other, and shakily stood up.
Following her movement, the St. Freya Academy Valkyrie uniform she wore was wiped away as if by an invisible hand, transforming in an instant!
A Herrscher Gown, primarily purple and white and adorned with magnificent golden patterns, encased her body, and the golden light strips symbolizing authority silently unfurled behind her back.
Her long white hair, which had been tied into two braids, completely came undone, cascading down her back like a waterfall woven from moonlight, moving without wind.
In her brilliant golden eyes burned a mix of shame and rage, and her previously somewhat blurred face became completely clear, radiating extreme cold arrogance.
Herrscher of the Void, Sirin, in her Complete Form, was punched out!
She shook her still slightly dizzy head and finally came back to her senses completely.
Feeling the lingering searing pain on her cheek and the utterly humiliating flying experience from moments ago, an unnamed Karmic Fire instantly shot up to the crown of her head!
She suddenly looked up, her golden eyes locking onto the masked red figure. Her red lips parted slightly, and a cold, murderous voice was about to spill out:
"You suicidal mongr—"
"Herrscher—!!!!"
A furious, savage roar, several times louder than Sirin's voice, exploded like thunder on flat ground!
The owner of the voice was none other than Kalpas!
The roar was so fierce that Xing, who was relatively close to him, felt a stinging pain in her eardrums, which buzzed loudly, nearly causing her to lose her footing.
Even the Simulated Space of the training room rippled slightly due to the sheer sonic impact!
Sirin, who was about to utter a threat, was startled and had her words caught in her throat by the sudden roar.
Before she could think further, she saw Kalpas's crimson figure, amidst the roaring, transform into a true Humanoid Catastrophe!
Raging flames erupted around him, and he, like a burning meteor, descended with the fury to incinerate everything, using no technique, only the purest strength and speed, smashing down violently toward her—Herrscher of the Void, Sirin!
Where his fist passed, the air twisted, leaving a scorching trail, as if it intended to pierce space itself!
His might was at least ten times greater than when he was dealing with "Kiana" and Xing earlier!
Sirin's expression changed slightly, and a hint of solemnity flashed in her golden eyes.
The previous punch caught her off guard, but she wouldn't suffer such a loss again!
Just as Kalpas's destructive punch was about to land, Sirin's figure flickered like a phantom and vanished into thin air!
The next second, she was elegantly floating in the air on the other side of the training room, looking down from above.
"BOOM—!!!"
