From the opponent's ability to suppress remotely, she clearly has more decisive means to resolve the battle quickly, yet insists on using an approach that's more bark than bite. Bai Zhou was almost beginning to suspect if that person was just a facade—impressive on the surface, but actually empty within...

Not sure when, the fire suppression from the Dark Gold Rose began to weaken, the noise outside gradually quieted down. Bai Zhou recalled his earlier guess, his eyes growing brighter.

For some reason, his naturally keen senses made him feel like he was approaching the truth, the thoughts lingering in his mind without fading away. At this time, Yun Yao's voice reached his ears.

"Bai Zhou, I want to use the Divine Gift," Yun Yao said softly.

Bai Zhou was startled, and replied firmly, "No!"

The team leader had expressly forbidden this. Until Yun Yao passes the association's assessment of her mental defect level, she is not allowed to use the Divine Gift under any circumstances. During combat, once the girl expresses this desire, her companions' top priority changes to controlling and restricting her actions.

Yun Yao muttered to herself, "If I can unleash the Divine Gift, I can definitely deal with that guy, right? At least I won't have to be so embarrassed. The team leader, 'Mom' will surely look at me with new eyes, everyone in the association will realize how important I am... I'm more important than the other kids..."

Bai Zhou sensed danger, shaking Yun Yao's shoulders forcefully, "Hey, calm down, think of Sister Wei Li, remember what she reminded you, she's waiting for you to come back at Winter Solstice to make glutinous rice balls."

"Sister Wei Li." Yun Yao's dim eyes brightened, and her mouth split into a smile, "Yes, Sis will also look at me with new eyes."

"I have decided, I want to use the Divine Gift 'Thunder Armor'!"

Seeing the girl seem more determined, Bai Zhou realized he had said the wrong thing. He raged internally, catching a glimpse of the distant Dark Gold Rose unknowingly changing position, its icy gun barrel aimed at them.

Bai Zhou's gaze deepened, he swung his hand, the Blood Monarch dramatically fell down, its blade emitted a heavy low sound, growing several times bigger to shield them, the explosive fire was blocked by the Blood Monarch, collapsing heavily, fire serpents and hot waves continuously engulfed by the singularity, flowing through the crimson lines.

He knew well that such a mental defect is hard to be comforted with love or warmed by sudden emotions.

He abandoned trying to persuade the girl in a state of disorder with silly words about companionship, family, and bond, instead crouching down, like a brother coaxing his younger sister with a lollipop at the roadside, and said:

"I know what to do now, Yun Yao, I'll deal with that guy, you handle supporting me from a distance, how about it?"

Yun Yao shook her head, "No way, you're too weak, you haven't even broken through to that guy's downstairs, you'll be dealt with, right?"

Bai Zhou gritted his teeth, "What if I use the Divine Gift?"

Yun Yao was stunned, her gaze seemed clearer, "You use the Divine Gift?"

"No way, your mental defect level evaluation has just passed, the team leader said we can't use the Divine Gift unless absolutely necessary."

Bai Zhou thought, what right does someone who hasn't passed the evaluation have to talk about me?

He forced a smile, saying, "Now is definitely the time. Yun Yao, using both Divine Gifts at once is too risky, the team leader forbid it, right?"

Yun Yao nodded, "If Bai Zhou you use the Divine Gift, then I really can't use it."

"Against enemies strong in remote combat, it's not a problem for a Berserker known for close combat to use the Divine Gift to break through, right?"

Yun Yao nodded, "In that case, it's no problem..."

"Then it's agreed, I use the Divine Gift for breakthrough, you cover me," Bai Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, showing a bitter smile.

What's this about having someone with defects coaxing another person with defects, even in such critical moments needing to coax patiently like a child, while also needing to offer a sweet reward. Yet, hasn't it always been like this with the Special Sixth Class, supporting each other through?

Maybe when he fell into disorder during crisis events, Yun Yao might have been like a helpless little sister, slapping him while anxiously crying and begging him to wake up.

For these problem children, family is still too distant, but sometimes, seeing the girl hop around like a little Sparrow sharing her joy, or a folded origami crane, or picking a white Lily, or excitedly shouting about wanting to blast him into bloody bits, he always felt how great it would be if she really was his sister.

Anyway, someone needs to step up with responsibility at times like this.

"Blood Armor of Tyranny!"

A battle cry resounded, and the blood within him began to boil.

The Blood Red Armor instantly enveloped Bai Zhou's body, making him feel lighter than ever before. He closed his eyes tightly, knowing that unleashing the Divine Gift meant confronting the most real and vulnerable part of himself deep down. Though nervous about using the Divine Gift for the first time, at least he hoped not to embarrass himself too much in front of the girl.

However, the expected negative emotions didn't overwhelm him; besides feeling like he had endless strength, becoming lighter, there seemed to be no change.

He easily lifted the Blood Monarch beside him, the world before his eyes underwent a drastic transformation; the luxuriously decorated hallway became a pixel-style runway, angel statues and exquisite artwork also became pixel style, cute little angels fluttered their wings and flew out, waving magic wands, and the light gauze they sprinkled arranged into a tutorial as if by magic.

"Spacebar to jump, W, A, D, S to move, J to normal attack, K to special attack, TAB+Enter to launch a special move..."

"What the heck."

Bai Zhou swung his hefty sword and split the little angel in half, followed by a hate-filled scream, the little angel's wings at his feet turned into insect wings, and its rosy little face became warty like a toad and shrunk rapidly; the compound eyes of a fly leaked out a foul smell.

Bai Zhou flexed his shoulders, and a yellow round ball appeared. It had arms and legs like a moving You, giving Bai Zhou a scornful look before swiftly abducting pixelized Yun Yao, running with stick figure limbed speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour, disappearing at the end of the pixel path.

The main mission popped up right in the center of his vision.

"The vile You has taken away your sister, brave and strong brother, set out to defeat You and reclaim your family!"

A new pixel path appeared in front of Bai Zhou, innumerable gold coins glowing and sparkling moved in the air, emitting invisible magic power, compelling him to pick them up.

Bai Zhou stretched his muscles, "Let's begin!"

He started to run forward, and with each coin he slashed, brilliant gold dust sprinkled over him, a warm current rose up from his stomach, his body filled with power, recovering the stamina he had expended, feeling as though he had endless strength.

Pixel-style fireballs came booming from afar, he jumped to the other side where the coins laid out a pathway, the fireball narrowly grazed past him.

Xu Xiaoyou frowned slightly, firing bullets with [Headshot], which Bai Zhou seemed to have anticipated, dodging them in advance. Each shot punctured the ground by his feet, each trajectory dodged as if he could predict the bullet's path.

Within her sights, Bai Zhou had completely lost control after being enveloped by the Blood Red Armor, solidified blood aura emanating from him, almost entirely encasing the boy, like a Demon King emerging from Hell, roaring with hate, crashing through storms as he charged toward her.

She's certain, the opponent had just unleashed their Divine Gift.

The armor's long tassels flowed like moving blood-red ribbons, in an instant it weaved through the green grass, winding between numerous Fishmen, the Blood Monarch easily sliced through the bodies of those Fishmen, blood cascades exploded repeatedly in the rain, looking like rain-blooming Red Roses, bright and glaring with each bloom indicating Bai Zhou had broken through closer to Xu Xiaoyou's range.

Xu Xiaoyou pulled the receiver, leaned out to aim, but a precise Energy Cannonball exploded near her, forcing her to retreat.

It seems they meant business, Xu Xiaoyou thought she'd play along.

In the flow of virtual green data, her bank account funds began to rapidly decrease, transforming into massive light that merged into her body. Xu Xiaoyou snapped her fingers, three slot machines materialized before her, the levers simultaneously pulled, and the crazily spinning reels flashed with countless cartoon-style prizes whizzing past.
