Book 5: Chapter 28: This Item Has a Destiny with Me
The imaginary barrier would defend against enemy attacks, but it also meant the people inside could not get out. However, Chen Heng walked out like it was nothing, taking Sirin utterly by surprise.
Chen Heng looked up at the nearby atomic bomb and still found it a little ridiculous.
Shouldn’t something like an atomic bomb have radiation? Or is the Honkai world’s atomic bomb different from those of my world?
Chen Heng raised his right hand and flicked it in the direction of the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb stopped cold less than one hundred meters away, like it had met with an obstruction or something held it. This was not a barrier, as it should have exploded if its warhead struck something.
“Elder Brother, hold on for a while. I can create a spatial transfer gate to send it far away.”
“Alright, alright. There’s no need to go to that trouble. Let your elder brother teach you the correct way to use your spatial barriers.”
After using his attraction ability to grab the atomic bomb, Chen Heng used his spatial ability to set up layer upon layer of spatial barriers around the atomic bomb, laying over a hundred layers within a second. Then he casually squeezed the atomic bomb with his attraction ability, exploding it.
Boom!
A resounding report shook the entire snowfield. Sirin and Welt could clearly see the dazzling, fiery light from the atomic bomb’s explosion one hundred meters above them.
Perhaps it was a misperception, but Sirin and Welt faintly heard glass shattering.
A high explosive like an atomic bomb would be even more effective in a sealed space. That was why the spatial barriers Chen Heng laid were cracking layer by layer. However, he did not panic. After the first layer shattered, he immediately added dozens of barriers.
Welt saw the fiery light above being confined to a regular spherical shape, and the light was expanding in concentric circles.
Welt inwardly cheered on this atomic bomb, despite knowing he would most likely die if Chen Heng could not stop this atomic bomb.
Unfortunately, Welt’s hopes were dashed. The fiery light from the atomic bomb’s explosion only expanded four or five times before dying out.
This meant the atomic bomb broke only four or five of the hundreds of layers of spatial barriers Chen Heng had laid before the force was no longer sufficient.
“Dear Welt, your atomic bomb somewhat disappointed me. This…that is all? I thought it would be quite incredible.”
“…” When have I—Welt—ever suffered such humiliation? As the saying goes, fortunes can change in an instant. Do not underestimate the resilience of a determined youth!
Hence, Welt took out that big treasure of his, the Star of Eden.
Never mind everything else. Suffer the explosion of my Star of Eden!
“This brother, don’t be rash. Put down the Star of Eden in your hand. We can talk things out.”
Chen Heng noticed the Star of Eden in Welt’s hand giving off ominous fluctuations, so he quickly snatched the Star of Eden with his attraction ability.
“Fellow Daoist, this item has a destiny with me. I wonder if you would consider letting it go?”
“Huh?”
“Elder Brother, you never told me you were this powerful.” After being ignored by Chen Heng for a few seconds, Sirin expressed her displeasure.
As Chen Heng looked at her, she picked up his hand, pried out a finger, and bit it.
“…Sirin, do your teeth hurt?”
“…No. They don’t hurt. Not at all.” Although Sirin remained stubborn, Chen Heng heard a quiver in her voice. After that, she stopped being stubborn, turning around to press her hands to her mouth.
“Hah…Silly younger sister…”
“Who exactly are you? Ordinary people do not have your horrifying strength. Are you a new Herrscher? Or are you…” After Welt saw Chen Heng’s strength, his imagination started running wild.
“Alright, alright. Stop guessing blindly. I’m just a helpless researcher with a slight understanding of electronic technology.” The last part was true, not a lie. Although he knew nothing of hacking, he had his electromagnetic control ability. With that ability, he could become the strongest hacker.
“Do you think I will believe you? What are your intentions in sparing me? Let me tell you first: it is impossible to use me to control Anti-Entropy. Every member of Anti-Entropy is ready to die for humanity.” Welt knew that the man with the 2nd Herrscher must have spared him because of a plan.
“Little big brother, don’t be so rash. Are you interested in an alliance?”
“…If you wanted to ally with me, why didn’t you say so before we fought?” When Welt asked this question, Sirin also looked at Chen Heng curiously.
“That is purely because I wanted to teach my foolish younger sister a lesson, so her ego would not puff up again after she obtained the strength of the so-called Herrscher of the Void and dare to say things like she is invincible. I’m worried that this tendency of hers will cause her to suffer when she lives independently someday,” Chen Heng explained to Welt after sighing.
“…Elder Brother, don’t tell me you already knew they had this extremely horrifyingly powerful bomb but did not tell me?” The intelligent Sirin-chan suddenly noticed something off. From her observations of Chen Heng, her elder brother could see the future. Why didn’t he tell her that a powerful bomb would suddenly arrive?
“Of course I knew. Did you think I was just boasting about my ability to see the future?”
“Humph! Elder Brother, is it really as you said earlier, so that I would suffer once?” Sirin crossed her arms, showing a strange expression as she looked at Chen Heng.
“How can this be? How can I bear to see my precious younger sister suffer? I just wanted you to remember this lesson: don’t let your ego inflate needlessly. This is something completely different.”
“…” Chomp! Sirin bit Chen Heng again in her anger. However, she had learned from the last time and did not bite a place that looked hard. Instead, she went for his ear. Furthermore, she launched her attack from behind.
“Hey!” Chen Heng shivered. Although Sirin appeared angry, she did not bite Chen Heng’s ear hard. However, his physical body was strangely tough, so it felt like she was licking him rather than biting.
When Sirin previously nibbled on Chen Heng’s ear, she had discovered Chen Heng’s weak spot: his ears were sensitive.
