Chapter 419: New Toy

Double in this state was terrifyingly strong, almost the strongest Knight Harry had seen during this period. Even Moon Knight or Decade, who had caused them huge trouble before, could not rival him. With a subtle worry, Harry glanced at Ron, but his face was very calm.

In less than ten minutes, the sparring session came to an end. Hermione tried to change different ability sets for Alan, but Fang Joker crushed any fancy mechanisms with its powerful numerical value. After a very handsome roundhouse kick, Alan, who was already struggling to support himself, was completely defeated. He flew out several meters and rolled on the ground, releasing Henshin.

Hermione first stared at Double for a while, then trotted to Alan's side to help him up, whispering something.

Just then, Double, who was still maintaining a cool pose, suddenly stretched out his right hand to support his head, and then shook his head.

"Oh no, he's not really going to lose control, is he?" Harry said with feigned surprise.

"What loss of control?" Draco suddenly asked.

Seeing Ron say nothing, Harry emphasized the current situation again: "Cui Ge used a risky Henshin technique, which may cause him to fall into madness and indiscriminately attack anyone..."

Double, who was hanging his head, raised it abruptly. His bright red compound eyes flickered, and he began to walk slowly toward Alan, who had already released Henshin—if this were the case, Hermione would inevitably be affected.

Just as Ron's hand began to reach behind him, something that completely disrupted Harry's plan happened.

"Ha, then let me stop him," Draco took out his belt ahead of others. "Don't lose face for the Snake House."

Ron was stunned, and Harry widened his eyes. They just watched as Draco rushed in front of Double and took out two bottles.

"Dragon! Jelly! Cross-ZCharge!"

Blue light bloomed in an indescribable way, as if viscous liquid gushed out, presenting a translucent texture like jelly, wrapping the head of the silver base armor. Immediately after, he rushed to meet Double without hesitation and easily blocked the originally extremely violent Fang Joker.

"What technology is this?" Harry widened his eyes. He had always thought Draco was the weakest Knight on the field, but this jelly-like form could actually contend with Double using the Dangerous Trigger.

"Could it be that he also used negative emotions?" Harry could only guess irresponsibly at this moment. "This kind of power and speed clearly far exceeds the previous Cross-Z. This is unreasonable!"

"Could it be because of the dragon?" Ron said calmly. "He has been using a single dragon bottle, which might be a weight training. When needed, paired with another energy bottle, he can immediately exert more powerful strength."

"Is that so?" Harry looked at Ron suspiciously. He vaguely felt that Ron's emotions were strange. "But with Draco's personality, it's unlikely he would be so patient. Moreover, when he was beaten to the point of calling for help by Moon Knight last time, he didn't use this new bottle."

"Then is it a new power obtained recently? Even Malfoy is making progress," Ron shook his head with a half-smile.

At this moment, Harry was convinced that Ron's mentality had undergone a subversive change, but he didn't have time to think more or ask in detail before the battle situation on the field changed again.

After a clash, both sides retreated several steps, and Double shook his head. He seemed to have sobered up a lot, and his left hand began to reach toward his waist, seemingly intending to release Henshin.

But his right hand pressed his left hand, in a very strange posture, fighting against himself. Or rather, it was the half-Fang body fighting against the other half-Joker body, and obviously, the Fang with the Dangerous Trigger was in the upper hand.

"Hey, use this!" Luna's ethereal voice suddenly sounded, and then a blue bottle flew toward Double in an arc—almost reflexively, he caught the bottle smoothly, and then successfully replaced Joker. As the left side of his body turned blue, Cui Ge got the trigger bottle he was most familiar with and most suitable for, and his self-consciousness became more obvious.

Double's momentum suddenly became calm. Visibly, the spikes on the Fang shoulder armor began to shrink, turning from ferocious horns into decorative protrusions. When he raised his head again, muffled words came from inside the armor: "I'm fine."

Draco, who had been posing, suddenly deflated, and then took the initiative to release Henshin. His expression was tight, trying hard to hide his pride.

When Cui Ge pulled out the Dangerous Trigger, the Fang bottle remained on the belt. He was stunned for a moment, then collected these things as if nothing had happened.

"Thank you, Draco, I think I've learned it," Cui Ge didn't hide his emotions. "If anyone wants to challenge again, next time you will see what I am truly good at—Fang Trigger."

Harry didn't know if Alan was convinced, maybe not, because when he left, he was still discussing something with Hermione in a low voice.

After the "outsiders" left, Harry felt he needed to ask about the situation, but before he could speak, Draco couldn't help but speak up himself.

"Yes, you noticed my new power, right? This was actually sent to me by that person. I told him about the difficulty of dealing with OOO, so he gave the Dragon Jelly plan," he explained in a seemingly flat tone, but in fact, anyone could hear he was showing off.

"I can't say this is a very good idea, but indeed, the Fang Joker just now also demonstrated to us that as long as the numerical value is strong enough, there is no need to care about the mechanism," he said with feigned modesty. "If Cui Ge hadn't taken out Fang, I would have been ready to meet him with Jelly Dragon, I think I could have easily defeated OOO—by the way, why was Hermione with him?"

"Hermione wanted a belt of her own, she made a deal with OOO," Harry said vaguely, worried that the Snake House crowd would blame the Lion House for eating inside and out.

"Oh, let her be," Draco pretended to be magnanimous, but actually revealed a trace of contempt.

"But I'm a bit curious, how did Jelly Dragon let you exert more powerful strength?" Cui Ge asked. "I think it's very strange, if you could have used double bottles to Henshin into such a powerful form, why didn't you fight with this form from the beginning?"

"Uh, I also just got the new bottle recently," Draco sounded a bit lacking in confidence. "And this is jelly, it's not jelly..."

This was a bit strange. Harry touched his chin and couldn't help but ask: "So, the mysterious person who sent you the belt sent a new bottle after learning that you lost to OOO?"

Draco didn't answer directly, but from his eyes, Harry felt he hadn't guessed wrong. Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene was a bit awkward, Pansy very perceptively came out to smooth things over, said a few polite words, and pulled Draco away.

"I always feel that the person behind Draco is also quite worth paying attention to..." Harry wanted to say something more, but with the existing information, he couldn't draw further conclusions.

"Speaking of which, Cui Ge," Ron suddenly said. "Can you lend me that trigger?"

"Ah? What?" Cui Ge seemed to have just come back to his senses. "You want it?"

"Yes," Ron's originally nervous tone gradually became firm. "I feel I saw the possibility of progress from it."

"A bit dangerous, to be honest," Luna commented objectively.

"If Cui Ge can master that power, then I think I can too," Ron said.

"Whether this power is good or bad is hard to say, after all, Mr. Shoichi's story told us..." Harry subconsciously still wanted to persuade him a few words.

"No, Harry, you don't understand," Ron interrupted him. In fact, Ron rarely interrupted Harry before.

"We can't shrink back because of some worries anymore. This era is so crazy, everyone is trying every means to obtain power, we can't fall behind others," Ron's tone was very calm and his logic was very clear. "But you know, there can't be any power that can be easily obtained without paying a price. Compared to those human experiments, the Dangerous Trigger is already very reliable. After all, Cui Ge has already shown us a successful precedent."

"I understand what you are worried about, but I think you lack a sense of urgency: you seem to be still counting on Zhang Qiu, but obviously, she and Master Master Xuanjun have had a disagreement, and without Master Master Xuanjun, Zhang Qiu is just a seventh-year student. She can no longer control the situation," Ron criticized Harry bluntly. "And if the known situation is constantly deteriorating, we have to do some risky things. Did you have everything prepared when you went to fight Voldemort back then?"

"Alright, what you said doesn't seem wrong," Harry's tone was a bit unhappy, but he admitted his mistake. "Maybe it was because last year went too smoothly, leading to my mentality being a bit conservative."

Harry realized belatedly that Ron's depression some time ago might be his own fault. It was precisely because he knew Zhang Qiu's plan and expressed the attitude that everything was not worth worrying about from time to time, that Ron always expected to find the next direction from Zhang Qiu, but in fact, they couldn't provide any help at all, which was the culprit for Ron's low mentality.

Thinking of all the redundant things he had done before, and in the end, it was Ron himself who broke through those heavy concerns, Harry felt guilty at this moment.

"I support you, if you don't want to lose anything, you can't get anything," Cui Ge threw the small device over and made a shooting gesture with his fingers. "I feel I don't need the Dangerous Trigger anymore, you take it and study it." ===== CHAPTER 420 =====
