Chapter 193

"It turns out the YellowBee Knight is nothing special."

"It turns out the YellowBee Knight is nothing special."

Jiang Xia slowly lowered his arm, his gaze piercing the outer armor of the YellowBee.

We need to use YellowBee (glossary). So: "Jiang Xia slowly lowered his arm, his gaze piercing the outer armor of the YellowBee."

Looking at Yiche in Knight form, his whole body had already been shaken injured by the bullet impacts.

Better: "Looking at Yiche in his Knight form, his entire body had already been shaken and injured by the bullet impacts."

Although Knight Armor can block bullets, that only applies when the Mask form's defense is maxed out.

However, the designers probably never imagined someone would be surrounded by such a dense hail of gunfire while in Accelerated form.

Even the Thunder from another timeline would only be killed by bullets if he didn't have time to activate Acceleration.

Even the Thunder from another timeline would only be killed by bullets if he didn't have time to activate Acceleration.

Under normal circumstances, it should be impossible to be hit by an Ant Soldier's bullets while in Accelerated state.

This situation arose because Jiang Xia altered the flow of time around him.

Initially, the bullets hovered in midair because Jiang Xia paused their forward motion in time.

As for blocking Yiche's attack, Jiang Xia did so by jumping into a different timeline.

Yiche, situated in the past, could not possibly attack Jiang Xia in the future.

Just like it's impossible to attack an enemy who is always one second ahead of you.

Of course, in this state Jiang Xia likewise cannot make contact with Yiche.

He can only attack by other means, such as using the bullets suspended in midair.

This is the allure of time control; it is not a crude skill like merely pausing time or accelerating oneself.

Of course, even the Alien Insect Queen cannot do this, as it requires precise control of power.

Alien Insects capable of pausing time are already the most powerful beings,

able to thrash most of the Knights manufactured by ZECT,

but their limit is only able to do this.

Relying solely on instinct cannot simply stop the time of a single object.

Let alone jumping to a different timeline to dodge attacks.

However, Jiang Xia is capable of exerting fine control over time.

Or rather, he has been troubled by the need to control the power within himself.

Having great power is far from enough; perfectly controlling every bit of his inner power is what he has always pursued.

Only then can he unleash the purest, strongest power.

「CLOCKOVER。」 -> "CLOCKOVER." Keep as is, maybe with quotes? The Chinese line includes 「CLOCKOVER。」 So it's a term in quotes. We'll output: "CLOCKOVER."

Yiche crashed heavily to the ground, the YellowBee armor on his body shattering into fragments, forcing his transformation to be undone.

He gasped heavily, strained with his arms, and barely managed to crawl up from the ground.

He lifted his head and saw a tall, upright figure standing there.

The uninjured Hyper Jia Dou, whose face had originally been pale, now showed a hint of despair.

Hyper Jia Dou

"Captain!"

"Captain, are you alright?"

The Ant Soldiers had no idea what had happened; the bullets simply froze in midair, then a flash, and the YellowBee was knocked to the ground.

The Mirage Unit quickly helped the staggering Yiche to his feet and stood in front of him.

Just as Yiche was about to say something, a familiar voice sounded beside him.

"So this is the perfectly harmonized unit, huh? Looks like you weren't boasting."

All that could be seen was a fully crimson-backed figure appearing before Yiche.

Upon seeing the true Jia Dou appear, a flash of lightning seemed to streak through Yiche's mind.

"You're the real Jia Dou!" Yiche exclaimed, then slowly turned around.

"You're the real Jia Dou!" Yiche exclaimed, then slowly turned around.

The golden sun emitted scorching rays, slowly rising behind the crimson Jia Dou.

When Yiche looked the other way, however, he saw the black Jia Dou devouring all the light shining toward him.

Only behind him remained a hazy sun shadow, the deepest black after the sunlight vanished.

At this moment, Yiche realized he had mistaken the person; that was not the Jia Dou he needed to defeat.

Knights who fight the Alien Insects and protect humanity's peace should not be attacked without cause.

"I have offended you." Yiche bowed his head slightly and apologized.

It was his order to attack, and he dragged a Knight unrelated to the mission into it; suffering a counterattack is his own doing.

By the time he lifted his head again, Jiang Xia had already vanished; he had merely dealt with the Alien Insects.

He need not intervene in the battle between the YellowBee and Jia Dou.

"As expected, you are the real Jia Dou."

As expected, you are the real Jia Dou.

Yiche slightly recovered, straightened his body, and said to the suddenly appearing Heavenly Dao Chief.

Ignoring Yiche's words, the Heavenly Dao Chief prepared to leave, as both Alien Insects had already been wiped out,

he had no reason to fight the already-injured Yiche.

"I know your true identity; with ZECT's capabilities, it's enough to uncover all your information."

Upon hearing Yiche's words, the Heavenly Dao Chief halted his steps, and an inexplicable atmosphere settled over the Ant Soldiers' hearts.

The two sides, which had been relatively amicable, had already become enemies the moment Yiche spoke.

Gazing at the Heavenly Dao Chief slowly approaching, Yiche's complexion also shifted slightly, but this also perfectly achieved his goal.

"Don't misunderstand, ZECT wouldn't do something like this, but the organization's mission is for me to defeat Jia Dou."

"Do you only obey the organization's orders?"

The Heavenly Dao Chief looked at Yiche, who was clearly in pain and about to die yet still gritting his teeth, and said, "If you really want to fight, wait until your wounds heal."

However, I remind you, if you dare to act against my family, then you will pay a rather painful price.

The Heavenly Dao Chief's tone suddenly turned cold, and the moment his words fell, all the weapons in the Miying Squad's hands dropped to the ground.

The connection point of the Ant Soldier's gun barrel was smooth as new, but the whole thing had already been broken into two pieces, as if severed at the waist by some sharp blade.

Under acceleration surpassing the limits of human reaction, even a well-trained Ant Soldier could not possibly oppose a Knight.

If the Heavenly Dao Chief raised his arm just a little higher, this Miying Squad and the YellowBee Adept would already have been beheaded.

"Don't worry, the Miying Squad won't do such a thing; our goal is to protect humanity, and defeating Jia Dou is headquarters' order."

Seeing that the Miying Squad's weapons were completely destroyed, Yiche did not get angry, merely giving a brief explanation.

He is the same; if someone dared to harm his subordinates, he might even be angrier than the Heavenly Dao Chief is now.

With the acceleration alert sound, Jia Dou's figure instantly vanished, leaving only the Miying Squad members present staring at each other.

With a thud, Yiche could no longer bear the pain in his body, barely able to control himself, and fell backward directly.

This situation caused all members of the Miying Squad to exclaim in surprise.

"Mr. Yiche!"

"Hurry and send him to the hospital."

YingShan quickly removed the Ant Soldier's helmet, hoisted the already unconscious Yiche onto his back, and rushed to the hospital.

"Jia Dou, I won't let you off."

ZECT Headquarters, YingShan looked at the unconscious Yiche and reported in detail to SanDaoZhengRen having seen two Jia Dou.

After a long silence on the other end of the phone, SanDaoZhengRen spoke,

"Your target is that red Jia Dou; the black one is called Exceed Jia Dou,"

"He is not your target; you don't need to contact him, and to a certain extent you should cooperate with Exceed Jia Dou's actions."

"Could Exceed Jia Dou be a member of the organization?"

YingShan's eyes widened instantly, full of curiosity and puzzlement about Exceed Jia Dou—why cooperate with him, and cooperate in what way?

"Pass my words to Yiche without omitting a single word; as for the rest, you have no right to know."

SanDaoZhengRen spoke coldly in reproach,

"Okay, I understand."

YingShan nodded, waiting for SanDaoZhengRen to hang up before putting down the phone.

SanDaoZhengRen calmed down, put the phone back, and respectfully looked toward the old man sitting in the shadows nearby.

"The black Exceed Jia Dou has appeared; then should development of the Haipa Insect Instrument continue?"

"Of course, the data once development is completed is quite important."

The old man smiled slightly, "The battle between YellowBee and Jia Dou is really interesting."
