"I'll hold her off. Go!"
Barbara had already realized that the two of them were no match for Yunli.
With a wave of her hand, a white warhorse appeared.
She mounted it in one smooth motion.
Now she was getting serious.
If she held back any longer, she might be the one eliminated.
"Got it!"
Miyabi nodded and immediately withdrew from the battlefield.
With several rapid leaps, she sped off in the direction Yanqing had fled.
"Hey! Get back here!"
Yunli panicked.
These people were playing dirty.
"You're staying right here."
Barbara swung her banner.
The knights abandoned their protective formation around Jean, mounted their horses, and, under Barbara's command, launched another full-scale charge at Yunli.
Hooves thundered across the earth, kicking up clouds of dust as if they intended to trample Yunli into the ground.
In the live chat:
[Sunday: Sneaking up on someone's Master is bad enough, but now it's a group attack? I can't bear to watch.]
[Black Swan: Yanqing is probably getting eliminated.]
[Herta: Yanqing seems clever enough. He's probably already hidden somewhere safe.]
[Himeko: The moment those two allied, Yanqing was already moving away. It just depends on how good Servants are at tracking.]
[Jingliu: Failure to assess the situation properly is no one's fault but his own.]
Jingliu appeared calm on the surface.
But internally, she was cursing every player from New Eridu.
Bullying my disciple's disciple, are you?
Just wait.
Next time, I'll show you what true cruelty looks like.
"And Jing Yuan too. What exactly has he been teaching?"
In her view, the fact that Yanqing and Yunli thought they could fight two opponents alone was sheer recklessness.
That kind of thinking had to be Jing Yuan's influence.
The next time she saw him, his teacher was getting a lesson as well.
"Hiss…!"
Inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, Jing Yuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as though something unpleasant had set its sights on him.
He glanced around.
No one.
"What's wrong?"
Fu Xuan's eyes lit up with concern.
"That won't do. Shouldn't you visit the Alchemy Commission?"
"Fu Xuan, I'm not in such poor condition that I need to go to the hospital."
Jing Yuan could only laugh helplessly.
You're really trying to send me to the doctor every single day.
I know you covet the General's seat, but at least be subtle about it.
"Tch."
Fu Xuan clicked her tongue in disappointment.
Looks like she wouldn't be taking over as General today.
Which meant there was only one thing left to do—
Go drag Qingque back from the church.
I'm still here working, and you're off playing games?
Where are your principles?
Back in the game world, the knights had reached Yunli.
With no time to worry about Yanqing, Yunli focused entirely on the battle before her.
She spun one meteor hammer and hurled it outward.
The leading knight was struck like he'd been hit by a cannonball.
He flew backward and dissolved into particles of light.
She yanked the weapon back and swung again.
Another knight was instantly destroyed.
"So… so strong."
Jean stared in shock.
She knew how formidable Barbara's knights were.
A hundred of them had once pierced enemy formations and seized banners.
Yet before Yunli, they were little more than targets.
Each swing of her meteor hammer erased another knight.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The chain weapon reduced the number of knights one by one.
But Yunli was hardly unscathed.
Her smaller stature put her at a disadvantage.
The mounted knights attacked from above, and even she was beginning to struggle.
As the number of enemies surrounding her increased, the meteor hammers became harder to use.
She dropped them and drew the short blades at her waist instead.
Unfortunately, the blades were far shorter than the knights' swords and lances.
After one full charge, the knights had lost fourteen members.
Yunli herself had suffered several wounds.
"Reform ranks."
Barbara surveyed the remaining knights and raised her banner again.
"Charge!"
"Again?!"
Yunli's temper flared.
So they really intended to gang up on her.
She stopped holding back.
Magical energy surged through her body.
In the live chat:
[Jing Yuan: Here it comes. Her Noble Phantasm.]
[Herta: I wonder what it is. Don't tell me she's going to pull out that giant sword.]
[Yun Jin: Don't scare me. If Yunli gets that sword, she'd be invincible.]
[Lisa: Impossible. Even if it's a greatsword, it won't have the invincibility effect.]
Valerius had already explained that only abilities gained through simulation could be used.
System-level effects were excluded.
[Valerius: Rule-based effects won't activate, but this Noble Phantasm is still incredible. Keep your eyes open. The result will shock you.]
Valerius knew exactly what Yunli's Noble Phantasm was.
Her simulated life had been almost a perfect replica of Penthesilea's.
Naturally, she had inherited the Amazon Queen's Noble Phantasm as well.
[Phantylia: Since Lord Valerius speaks so highly of it, I must watch carefully.]
[Tingyun: My, my. To think even a Lord Ravager would be interested in such things.]
[Phantylia: Naturally. How could one not be intrigued by such a fascinating ability?]
Phantylia frowned.
There was definitely something hidden in Tingyun's tone.
The Xianzhou delegation had already arrived in Belobog.
Though Tingyun hadn't made any moves yet, Phantylia had a strong feeling.
This entire operation was aimed at her.
On the battlefield, as Yunli's magical energy reached its peak, a golden belt materialized around her waist.
"Noble Phantasm… release."
"Ride forth beneath my Hippolyta's blessing, my elite warriors!"
Brilliant light erupted across the field.
Yunli's body, bathed in radiance, began to grow rapidly.
At the same time, twelve Amazon warriors armed with spears and bows appeared around her, forming a protective circle.
When the light finally faded, everyone present stood in stunned silence.
"This… this is Miss Yunli?"
Jean's eyes widened.
The transformation was unbelievable.
She looked like an entirely different person.
Yanagi was equally shocked.
No matter how she imagined it, she had never expected Yunli's Noble Phantasm to physically mature her body.
And those curves…
Absolutely massive.
Not only those present, but the entire livestream audience was left speechless.
Those who knew Yunli personally were especially stunned—and more than a little envious.
[Jing Yuan: …This is… Yunli?]
[Fu Xuan: Heh… hehehe… traitor.]
Fu Xuan was devastated.
Until now, they'd been more or less equals.
Then Yunli activated one Noble Phantasm and transformed into this.
You've betrayed the Flat-Chest Alliance!
Fu Xuan glared at the screen and mentally stamped Yunli with the word TRAITOR.
[Hu Tao: Can this Noble Phantasm be won as a prize?]
[Valerius: Hehe. Absolutely.]
With those words, the livestream exploded.
[Furina: I-I'm not jealous at all… hehe… hehehe…]
[Fu Xuan: Exactly. Noble Phantasms should enhance combat power. What use is something like this?]
[Trailblazer: I can smell the jealousy all the way from the Express.]
[Seele: What would anyone even use this for?]
[Kirara: This Noble Phantasm is a divine artifact!]
[March 7th: I… may be a little interested.]
[Kuki Shinobu: Suddenly my own Noble Phantasm doesn't seem so impressive.]
[Belle: So rewards like this are actually possible?!]
[Qingyi: I wonder what would happen if someone like me used it. Fascinating.]
[Zhu Yuan: Senior, please don't experiment recklessly.]
[Qingyi: Easy for you to say. The well-fed never understand the hungry.]
Watching the chat, Valerius nearly burst out laughing.
You people are unbelievable.
Not a single one of you cares about the combat capabilities.
All you're focused on is the body transformation.
