BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1108 - Rejection
Chapter 1108: Rejection
But the truth was that the metal giant took one step back, then a giant step forward at an unimaginable speed while putting all of its weight forward while throwing two punches.
Bam!
The bulky man was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before he finally managed to stabilize himself.
“Tch, such weak power, and you intend to hurt a Deity like myself?” the bulky man staggered a bit while standing up.
He then saw a foot.
A large metal foot.
As he looked up, the pair of cold metal fists were slowly becoming larger in his eyes.
“Scatter!”
The bulky man quickly shouted.
A dim glow erupted from his two horns.
The metal giant was subsequently sent flying.
But that power was obviously not enough to damage the metal giant.
It nimbly did a flip in mid-air before landing on the empty ground a bit further away.
The metal giant stood up, formed a martial stance while remaining completely intact.
On the contrary, the bulky man was panting heavily after he used this technique.
“What kind of secret martial arts is that?” he asked in a low voice.
[It is no such mysterious thing] Su Xue Er’s voice resounded from inside the metal giant, [It is nothing but the simplest close-combat tactics]
All of a sudden, a sharp gleam appeared behind the metal giant.
The metal giant hurriedly leaned over to dodge, but it was too late.
One of its large metal arms was cut off, curtly falling to the ground.
When the metal giant retaliated with its other arm, the ambusher had already left.
The bulky man looked up and said: “Thanks!”
The lanky man nodded, pulled his blade back, and returned to battling against the cuttlefish.
The bulky man shifted his gaze towards the metal giant.
He appeared boastful and said: “You’re done for now. I’d like to see how you’re going to try anything again”
The metal giant went silent.
Su Xue Er then spoke up again:
[Now I’m finally relieved]
The bulky man scowled: “What do you mean?”
[Such despicable fellows like yourself who only knows to ambush people from behind without even the most basic level of martial arts spirit can’t possibly be real Deities]
The metal giant changed its stance, holding its only arm forward with an open palm.
Martial arts, Crane Strike.
The bulky man’s expression turned grim.
“When I devour you, you’ll know what a Deity really is!”
He rushed straight at the metal giant.
Half-way through, a faint glow had filled the bulky man’s hands.
His arms grew more muscular, becoming almost as large as half of his bulky body.
Su Xue Er didn’t say anything else.
She was silently reciting the martial scripture, entering a state of unprecedented immersion.
The distance between the two giant entities quickly shrank.
The metal giant moved its foot to avoid the bulky man’s first punch, only to be struck by the second one.
At the same time, the metal giant’s metallic palm suddenly manifested the graceful shape of a crane and struck the bulky man right in the middle of his chest.
Bam!
An intense sound of impact resounded through the void of space.
The bulky man was sent flying again, but a large chunk of the metal giant’s armored chest had also been beaten in.
Many of the circuits that connected to the control room were thoroughly destroyed.
Su Xue Er clenched her teeth tightly and controlled the metal giant to slowly lie down.
—–Qing Shan is still within the life-support system at the back of the giant, I can’t let him experience any blunt force trauma.
As the giant finally laid flat to the ground, Su Xue Er sighed in relief.
As she sat in the broken control room, tears couldn’t help but flow from her eyes.
“It hurts a lot...”
She whispered and looked down to her left.
Her arm was crushed by the collapsed metal from the impact earlier, completely gone.
The electronic voice urged her: [Quickly run away, Su Xue Er, there really is no other chance, the only way I can help you now is to use the super-distance spatial warp, this way at least you will survive]
A few hundred meters away, the bulky man was slowly standing back up.
Su Xue Er went silent for a brief moment before replying: “No need, let me die here”
[Fool, you’ve already risked so much and tried so hard] the electronic voice seemed a bit angry, [Even if Gu Qing Shan knew about this, he wouldn’t blame you]
“Risked so much? Tried hard?” Su Xue Er repeated that and couldn’t help but shake her head.
She wiped the blood at the corner of her mouth with her remaining hand and muttered: “There are many things in this world that can’t be achieved by simply trying hard”
“I haven’t slept a wink for a very long time, using the Divine Arts of the Holy Church every day to recover my stamina and spirit. Every waking moment, I’ve spent to train myself, to improve myself; but in the end, I’m still just a normal girl, I’m still inferior to naturally talented people like Ning Yue Chan”
“I hope to give Gu Qing Shan the best in the world, but I’m not the best”
“Then let me die here in battle”
“At least, I will die to protect him”
“This way, I would have no regrets”
Saying so, Su Xue Er stood up from the collapsed control room and looked at her opponent from not too far away.
The bulky man was looking down, evaluating her.
“So you were a little girl” he said in surprise, “What impressive strength you have displayed earlier”
The more the bulky man looked down at Su Xue Er, the more his mouth couldn’t help but water.
Su Xue Er calmly glanced at him, stiffly moved her body, and took a stance.
“Very nice, very nice” the bulky man stared closely at her while slowly approaching, grinning as he spoke: “Although you’re missing an arm, from my experience, the souls of mortals with a firm will like yourself would surely be delectable”
His movements became slow until it finally stopped.
Su Xue Er could see the malice in his eyes, the cruel grin on his face, even the drool he was leaking through his teeth could be clearly seen.
——-he was frozen.
Su Xue Er looked around, only to see that everything had turned silent.
In the sky, the blade-wielding man stayed completely still in the sky, about to swing his weapon to stop two tentacles.
He was frozen.
The tentacles were frozen as well.
“Is this possibly... [Time Stanch]?” Su Xue Er doubtfully asked.
An electronic voice replied: [No, all the power I’ve accumulated are being applied on you, so from a technical standpoint, this should be called Time Suspension[1]]
“That’s perfect, I need to take this opportunity to kill him!”
Su Xue Er looked around her weapons, but unfortunately, other than the wreckage of the metal giant, she couldn’t find anything that she could use.
[Su Xue Er, do not be impatient]
The electronic voice continued: [This equipment was a Super Dimensional weapon created for his excellency Gu Qing Shan, but during the long travels through the 900 million World Layers with spatial warp, the weapon form was forced into its hibernation form. It was only after being received by his excellency Gu Qing Shan that the weapon form was reactivated; but due to the complicated and intricate nature of the weapon, the activation time was a bit too long, leading to his excellency Gu Qing Shan losing his opportunity to be equipped with this weapon]
The silver hairband turned into liquid, flew in front of Su Xue Er, and transformed into a hand.
The hand opened to display a black handgun in front of Su Xue Er.
[Please equip this weapon] the electronic voice told her.
A handgun?
Although it seemed unassuming, the fact that Impartial Goddess took the effort to deliver it from our faraway homeworld means that it is definitely not as simple as it seems.
While thinking that, Su Xue Er hesitated: “This belongs to Gu Qing Shan...”
The electronic voice became gentle: [Take it, protect Gu Qing Shan]
Su Xue Er stopped hesitating.
She reached her hand out to take the handgun.
The handgun immediately vanished and was absorbed into her arm.
The electronic voice continued: [The Super Dimensional weapon has the following functions:]
[First: Spatial warp-type offensive capabilities that ignore all suppression of power]
[A special note, there was originally a function that his excellency Gu Qing Shan couldn’t use, but as you are a female user, the Super Dimensional weapon has unlocked the following function as well:]
[Second: Feminine body evolution——– this ability will continuously optimize your body, in accordance to the base female form, to allow evolution into a more advanced lifeform]
[First phase, logical thinking evolution and strength evolution has coordinately begun]
Following the explanation of the electronic voice, Su Xue Er found that her thinking speed had been doubled.
She immediately understood everything that she was told.
“Spatial warp means that it can directly hit the enemy?” she asked.
[Correct] the electronic voice confirmed.
It then urged her: [Reserved energy is about to run out, Time Suspension will soon end, please immediately adopt your new mean of attack and eliminate the enemy]
“I know”
Su Xue Er opened her palm.
The black handgun appeared in her hand again.
[This is Impartial Goddess’ greatest masterpiece, capable of ignoring all suppression of power. As you continuously evolve, its power would summarily grow stronger as well] the electronic voice told her.
Su Xue Er held the handgun tightly and pointed it at the bulky man.
[Time Suspension is about to end]

[1]
Su Xue Er pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A silver bullet abruptly manifested in front of the bulky man’s forehead and went directly inside.
Time returned to normal.
The bulky man fell to his knee and collapsed.
Su Xue Er looked over his body.
I really can’t believe it; a handgun was able to kill a Deity.
Su Xue Er was startled.
No...
He still hasn’t died completely.
The pair of horns on his head gave off a buzzing sound.
The bulky man then stood back up, doubtfully asking:
“Just now, how did—–”
Bang!
He fell again.
The horns buzzed again.
The bulky man propped both hands on the ground, angrily speaking: “You bit—–”
Bang!
He fell again.
The horn kept buzzing.
Su Xue Er scowled.
She found that after her thinking speed had been improved, she was able to understand a lot of things much more easily.
——-without any movement, she pulled the gun back into her arm, randomly picked up a long piece of broken metal on the ground and walked up to the bulky man.
The bulky man’s eyelids twitched.
Su Xue Er tossed the long piece of metal on the ground, manifested the handgun again and put another bullet into the bulky man’s forehead.
Bang!
The bulky man died again.
Su Xue Er quickly put her handgun away, picked up the piece of metal on the ground and pressed the sharp end into the bullet hole on the bulky man’s forehead.
“I... seemed to have become stronger”
She whispered before stabbing the long piece of metal straight in with her full might.
Blood splattered everywhere.
The bulky man’s head was pierced straight through.
The horns on his head continued buzzing for a while, but were unable to do anything about such a wound.
Thud!
The horns fell to the ground.
The bulky man’s body quickly shrank and returned to normal.
Su Xue Er heaved a long sigh.
Finally, I’ve dealt with this guy.
She looked down at her amputated arm and felt a bit sorrowful.
Now that I’ve lost an arm, it will take a lot of effort to recover.
I can’t let Gu Qing Shan see me in this state.
While she was thinking, the horns abruptly flew up, hovering in front of her.
Coong coong coong ooong——
It continuously buzzed towards her.
For some reason, Su Xue Er managed to understand what it was trying to say.
“You said that—– if I wear you, I’ll become an entity that can control divine power?” Su Xue Er asked in surprise.
Oong!
The horns gave an affirmative answer.
Su Xue Er observed the curved pair of sharp horns for a bit before shaking her head: “I’m not wearing you”
The horns froze.
———as a Divine Armament of Huang Quan, never before had it been rejected while actively trying to accept a new master.
Oong oong oong
(But why?)
The horns doubtfully asked.
Su Xue Er answered without hesitation: “You’re ugly”
[1] In this novel, as you should know, time is depicted as a river, ‘stanching’ is the act of halting the flow of a river, thus Time Stanch affects everything in the flow of time, but here the power is only applied on Su Xue Er, basically removing her from the flow of time, thus Time Suspension
