Reincarnation Paradise

Chapter 871: Ineffective and Restrained

Kinuhata Saiai did not seem to have changed much to the naked eye. However, looking closely, one would notice she was standing mid-air, about ten centimeters off the ground. She was not floating but rather encased in a ten-centimeter-thick layer of nitrogen that formed an invisible armor around her.

"I am going in," Kinuhata Saiai said, her body bending slightly. Although her strength and agility were not particularly high, the nitrogen armor significantly boosted her destructive power. She did not use her body to drive the armor; her superpower controlled the nitrogen armor. In other words, Kinuhata Saiai's attack power and speed were independent of her physical fitness; the strength of her superpower determined them. The nitrogen armor dragged Kinuhata Saiai into battle, with her brain issuing commands to the armor.

When Su Xiao noticed Kinuhata Saiai standing mid-air, he immediately sensed something unusual. He had been waiting for a response for a long time without any news, which made him impatient. Moreover, the enemy would not give him time to wait.

Rather than wait for the enemy to attack, Su Xiao chose to take the initiative.

Boom!

Asphalt debris flew beneath Su Xiao's feet as he disappeared from his original position, targeting Mugino Shizuri. Kinuhata Saiai had used some powerful ability, making it unwise to confront her directly. Moreover, compared to Kinuhata Saiai, Mugino Shizuri's attack power was stronger and more threatening.

As Su Xiao disappeared, several green barriers appeared around Mugino Shizuri, protecting her. The previous encounter had left a deep impression on her. However, the fact that her opponent had withdrawn his slash just before striking her indicated he did not want his weapon to touch her Meltdowner.

The enemy's power, speed, and even aura were terrifying. Mugino Shizuri had never encountered a user with a similar superpower. More importantly, the enemy was elusive.

While Mugino Shizuri was considering her strategy, the sound of a rushing wind came.

Several green spheres appeared around Mugino Shizuri.

The rushing wind grew louder, and a long knife surrounded by dozens of hexagonal energy shields slashed toward her.

Zzzzz...

The long knife, enveloped by the energy shields, cut into the green barrier. The barrier emitted high heat, rapidly decomposing the energy shields. Unlike the particle beam cannons, the green barrier had stronger corrosive and decomposing abilities, capable of melting and decomposing even bullets instantly.

The green barrier completely dissolved the dozen or so energy shields. Fortunately, the Dragon Flash managed to penetrate the barrier, but Su Xiao felt significant resistance, a strong suction force. The green barrier was not as fragile as it seemed; it contained an electronic field.

It was not surprising that Mugino Shizuri could control an electronic field. Like the third-ranked Railgun, she belonged to the electronic control category, albeit a different branch.

Under the powerful electronic field, the Dragon Flash became extremely heavy, with a downward suction force. If Su Xiao's strength had not been sufficient, the Dragon Flash would have been pulled from his grasp.

Su Xiao's right arm muscles slightly bulged as he slashed upward against the powerful suction.

Splat.

Blood spurted as a large portion of an arm was severed, and blood splashed onto Mugino Shizuri's pale face.

Mugino Shizuri's expression twisted in pain as she felt an unknown energy invade her body, like an electric current without the characteristics of electricity.

A faint pain spread through her body as the 'current' dissipated, causing little harm.

"Getting this wretched thing into my body... damn it!"

The pain enraged Mugino Shizuri while Kinuhata Saiai, rushing towards them, twitched at the corners of her mouth. She felt something was off with that statement.

The energy invading Mugino Shizuri's body was Qing Gang Ying's energy, which should have inflicted substantial true damage under normal circumstances.

However, Qing Gang Ying's true damage requires extinguishing the enemy's energy first.

Surprisingly, Mugino Shizuri's body contained almost no energy or significant amounts of mana. Her body, altered by repeated superpower development, had little to no mana despite her high intelligence attribute. All superpower users seemed to have very little mana or energy, possibly suppressed by technology developed by Aleister Crowley.

After severing a portion of Mugino Shizuri's arm, Su Xiao sidestepped.

Swoosh—

A beam cannon shot past Su Xiao's ear, so close he could feel its heat.

"Die!"

Mugino Shizuri screamed as a dozen beam cannons targeted Su Xiao. He swung his arm, deploying all his counterattack shields to defend himself.

He was puzzled as to why the Qing Gang Ying energy had such a weak effect, as if it could not find its 'prey.'

Boom!

The beam cannons hit the counterattack shields, and Su Xiao, taking advantage of being pushed back, used the Apostle's Eye to analyze Mugino Shizuri's attributes.

Comparison of intelligence attributes... complete. My intelligence is 0.98 times that of the enemy. Due to the enemy's unique intelligence attribute, full data has been acquired.

Data as follows:

Name: Mugino Shizuri

Category: Human (875 times superpower development)

Health: 86%

Mana: 0/50

Strength: 6

Agility: 6

Stamina: 5

Mutant Intelligence: 80

Charisma: 48

Skill 1: Meltdown (Passive/Active/Superpower LV.40): Electron and light show both 'particle' and 'wave' properties. Mugino Shizuri can manipulate the 'ambiguous electron state' between the two, causing atomic destruction. The balance is extremely difficult to manage (the emission is neither an electrical wave nor a particle but the electron itself).

Skill 2: Mutant Intelligence (Passive LV.36): After repeated superpower development, the superpower user's intelligence attribute mutates, no longer generating mana but a proportion of additional health and strong computation ability. Most high-level superpower users are akin to walking computers.

Skill 3: Death Particle Cannon (Active LV.32): Can fire a 'Death Particle Cannon' via the Meltdown ability, featuring high penetration and temperature. Penetration: 32, additional 350 high-risk damage, speed: 29.

Skill 4: Electron Field Control (Active LV.20): Can manipulate the electron field, interfering with other forces or attracting most metals.

Skill 5: High-Resistance Brain (Passive Lv.25): Immune to mental control skills with less than 80 points attribute release. The duration of other controls was reduced by 30%.

Skill 6: Death Particle Cannon Diffusion (Passive Lv.32): Can diffuse the Death Particle Cannon, consuming 'diffusion support semiconductors.'

Skill 7: High-Speed Neural Reflex (Passive Lv.18): Repeated superpower development causes beneficial evolution in the brain, increasing neural reflex speed by 17%.

Skill 8: Death Queen (Active Lv.6): Consuming Body Crystals, superpower rampage, continuously releasing the Death Particle Cannon 360 degrees without any dead angle until stamina is exhausted. Lasts 20 seconds. Complete exhaustion and coma after use, reducing maximum health by 2% each time.

After reviewing Mugino Shizuri's attributes, Su Xiao understood superpower users better. Their intelligence attribute mutates through superpower development, using superpowers with physical strength and brain calculation instead of mana.

That 0/50 mana indicated that Qing Gang Ying had some effect, but Mugino Shizuri's mana was too low. This was Qing Gang Ying's weakness: it cannot cause damage without energy to extinguish. True damage occurs when extinguishing energy destroys the enemy, which is unavoidable damage.

While Qing Gang Ying was almost ineffective, Su Xiao had another ability effective against superpower users: aura release. The passive ability of aura release increased the enemy's stamina consumption by 27%. Since superpower users used stamina to activate their abilities, this was crucial.

Seeing Mugino Shizuri gasping heavily, Su Xiao knew his aura release ability was working.

Though Mugino Shizuri was strong, her strength, agility, and stamina were too low. Once her stamina was depleted, it would be over for her.
