Chapter 45: Guess Who I Am

When a person gains access to the power of a Way, he acquires various forms of skills: basic attack, basic skill, talent, technique and additional skills. When an Andavía reaches the pinnacle of his skills, he unlocks what is called the ultimate skill.

(Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha~ It's finally my turn~? I was getting sick of waiting!)

-Let's do it, Aha!

(Anytime, bro!)

Ultimate Skill: Guess Who I Am.

The moment I put on Aha's mask, my 3 portals were closed, my access to the other Pathways were also temporarily closed. Now, there is ONLY EXULTATION.

My body exploded into a mass of energy and an abomination was created.

If the basic skill of Exultation allows me to create illusions and alter reality to some extent in an absurd way, then the ultimate skill allows me to alter my own reality in the same way.

Question: What is the most absurd thing for the inhabitants of the Honkai Star Rail universe?

My answer: All the Aeons merged into one being.

From the Path of Exultation, the reality of my body was modified and an existence the size of the Engine of Creation was born. Centaur legs resembling Lan's, body with golden screams just like Nanook, amber armor resembling Qlipoth's body, six arms with eyes on all sides just like Yaoshi and bows protruding from each wrist, from the left shoulder protruding a giant mechanical eye and wires resembling Nous, from the back dozens of snakes protruding just like Oroboros; finally, the mask of a smiling devil instead of a face....

If this is not an abomination, then what is...?

The roar of an indescribable beast resounded, the battlefield momentarily silent.

The Doomsday Beast that he had shot down earlier with Celestial Comet.... In the blink of an eye, the tens of snake protruding from my back ripped its body apart in a matter of seconds. I didn't even give it a chance to scream from the pain.

When the Void Crushers wanted to attack me as a whole, the 6 bows on my wrists tightened their strings and fired huge energy arrows. Again, hundreds of Legion soldiers fell like mosquitoes.

The birth of this being is not based on the fusion of Pathways, but on the imitation from Exultation. However, that it is an imitation does not imply that it is defective.

Then, the remaining 3 Doomsday Beasts and thousands of Legion soldiers charged towards me at the same time.

The first Doomsday Beast I caught off guard, that's why I was able to kill it so easily. Facing 3 at the same time will not be as easy.

A Doomsday Beast flies at high speed and crashes head-on into me, 4 of my arms reach out to catch it and my centaur legs skid to the ground.

-*ROAR!*

Followed by a thunderous roar, the Doomsday Beast I caught uses Total Annihilation, manipulating 3 components to crush me with Imaginary Damage. Before it can do that, my two free hands grab its head with the intention of crushing it, but another Doomsday Beast interrupts me by attacking from the side with a right blow, The Fall of Tyranny, inflicts Imaginary Damage and can cause Entrapment.

I was sent flying several meters and was momentarily stunned....

As I was trying to get up, the third Doomsday Beast comes flying down from above. Due to the Imprisonment, my arms do not move as I want but the bows are not my only means of attack; my left shoulder, from the eye of Nous shoots out a red laser beam that shatters one of its wings.

When the wounded Doomsday Beast falls, the snakes on my back bite its limbs to restrain it and I charge an arrow.

*Bam!*

Its head and part of its chest explode, leaving it lifeless.

When I finally freed myself from the Imprisonment completely and was about to attack the other two Doomsday Beasts again, the corrosion of the crystallized Fragmentum trapped my body.

-!!!

I roared loudly trying to break free, but it was not possible. The corrosion of the entire planet began to condense into a single point, burying my body with crystallized Fragmentum, Nanook is trying to seal me...!!!!

---Separation line---

Half a minute ago...

The transformation of Nadie was so absurd to the ideology of the inhabitants of this universe that it left everyone in shock.

-That way of fighting is no longer human....

Natasha frowned with concern.

-Anyway, we have to help him! We can't leave Nadie alone!

March shouted worriedly.

-But how? No matter what we do, we'll just be in the way....

Serval analyzed the situation with a reasonable look.

-B-but...!

March refused to give up.

-There is a method!

Stelle declared vigorously as he walked towards the Engine of Creation. At that moment, his Flaming Spear glowed and the Engine of Creation reacted.

-Even if it's not much, I will fight! Nadie said so... he fears pain, dislikes loneliness, but still fights to protect Belobog. I will fight! It doesn't need to be anything great, as long as my help reminds Nadie that he is not alone, I will raise my weapon as many times as it takes!

At Stelle's resolve, the core of the Engine of Creation throbbed with force.

-I too will join, I will not allow Nadie to fight alone against the Legion!

Bronya raised her weapon firmly.

-It doesn't need to be anything grandiose, does it Stelle? Then I will focus on providing support, the Crinargenta Guard and I will focus on empowering Nadie with our abilities.

Bronya's resolve inspired all her subordinates.

-I know the Doomsday Beast's weaknesses. If we work together, perhaps we can reduce Nadie's burden even a little bit.

Dan Heng immediately shared the information about the Doomsday Beast.

-I and my automatons will take care of the lesser enemies and the Void Crushers.

-Wildfire will assist you.

Svarog and Wildfire will take care of cleaning up the nuisances so they don't interfere.

At that moment, the ruler of Nadie caught everyone's attention. His body was being crystallized by the Fragmentum, they are sealing him...!

-No more talk, let's go!

Stelle led the group and hurried to command the Engine of Creation.

---Separation line---

The attacks demonstrated are but an imitation, and an imitation does not imply that it is weaker than the real thing, but imitations lack essence. Although the imitations act and produce similar damage, the effects are not. This prevented me from seeing the future and dodging this attempt to be sealed.

Just when I thought it would be the end of me, out of nowhere the Engine of Creation appeared and destroyed part of the crystallized Fragmentum in one blow.

Stelle...?!

Above the head of the Engine of Creation, Stelle stands there with the Flaming Spear stuck in the ground.

-Will of the Guardians, lend me your strength!

(Count us in.)

The Flaming Spear created a whirlwind of fire around Stelle. Then, the Engine of Creation began to leak flaming trails in its movements, its engine began to roar loudly and charge energy, then it struck again, freeing me from Fragmentum's trap.

What was that! The Engine of Creation never showed that power in the game...!

I had no time to be surprised by Stelle's feat, the remains of the crystallized Fragmentum began to gather again; but, this time, it was for the creation of a giant Outer Space Fire, as big as my current transformation and the Engine of Creation; the worst doesn't end there, unlike the giant Outer Space Ice that the Stellaron summoned earlier, this giant Outer Space Fire has access to the Way of Destruction thanks to Nanook....

-We have entered the storm. To protect and defend, crush them!

Bronya...?!

-In the name of Landau... Years of cold harden the will. We will never fall!

Gepard too...!

Out of nowhere, I felt an incredible increase in power and defense. Not only that, the army projected by Bronya also began to fire along with all the Crinargenta Guards.

-Fire!

Bronya was at the front commanding her army of one man... rather, woman.

Basic attacks by themselves don't do much damage, but if properly powered up and hit their points of weakness....

*Break!*

The Aurora's Left Hands of both Doomsday Beasts suffered from the broken state, their other weak points are also accumulating Wind Damage.

-Come on, Nadie! Let's fight together!

-...Un.

Stelle's bright smile and outstretched hand made me want to tear up for a moment. Because of the size difference, I couldn't shake her hand or reply with coherent words, however I nodded my head.

The first time I used this ultimate ability, I traumatized so many people that they ended up calling me an abomination.... Even though I know I shouldn't listen to them and it's easy to act like nothing happened, deep down it still hurts. Having friends and family also call you that hurts even more, that's why I was also so afraid of using this power.... In the end, none of them turned their backs on me and that touched me a little bit I admit.

Outer Space Fire immediately went into a state of Boiling Absorption and Liquid Fusion. My snakes shoot in his direction to tear him apart but he responds with his Rain of Purifying Fire.

The snakes on my back take heavy damage and Outer Space Fire grabs from those snakes to immobilize me, a Doomsday Beast takes that opportunity to attack me from the side....

I know that trick.

Several masks materialize around me and block the Doomsday Beast's right blow. After deflecting the attack to the side and knocking him off balance, the wires coming from Nous' eye entangle his body; then, Stelle next to the Engine of Creation appears at my side.

-Smash!

*Crash!*

Wrapped in flames, the right hook of the Engine of Creation pierced the chest of the Doomsday Beast.

With a smug smile and full of arrogance, Stelle declared.

-That's all you got, Nanook? If you want to hurt Nadie, you'll have to step over my dead body first!

The core of the Engine of Creation roared loudly.

Exactly one minute to go before Herta arrives.
