The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

The wind stopped flowing and the dying birds stopped falling.

Everything in the world seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and everything fell into a state of stillness.

And there is only one person who can move freely in this static world.

"So, that's what happened."

He looked calmly at Lin Qiao, who was still running and punching in front of him.

The fist burning with dark red flames and destructive energy was only less than a foot away from him...but it was no different from eternity.

"Although I could only stop the blink of an eye at first, over the past few days, I have become more familiar with the use of this ability, and now I can stop time to a length of three seconds."

"Although your speed is too fast to be caught with the naked eye, all of this is meaningless in front of me who can stop time."

As he spoke, he yawned and moved around without feeling nervous.

He raised a finger and flicked Lin Qiao's spider-shaped mask.

"But even if I say this, you can't hear it now."

"so--"

"Platinum Star!"

Chapter 15 The Invisible Challenger

What happened?

Lin Qiao's brain fell into a brief blank.

The scenery in front of me is receding rapidly - no, it's not the scenery around me that is receding.

The person who regresses is...him?

"what.....!"

Only later did I feel a clear and sharp dull pain coming from the chest and side of my head.

It was as if at a certain moment, a super strong man beat him up.

There were several punch marks on the armor on the chest, and there seemed to be cracks on the armor on the faceplate.

bang——

The body flew more than ten meters before falling back to the ground. Under the action of inertia, the body made a "rustling" friction sound with the sand surface.

"What the hell is...?"

He endured the pain and took a few breaths of cool air.

I have to say that it was indeed painful, but thanks to this, his mind, which was originally overwhelmed by anger because of A2's death, calmed down a little... although really only a little.

The anger that wants to tear the person in front of him into pieces shows no sign of extinguishing.

And rather than being calm-minded, he wanted to see Li Teng's brain racing.

Getting up from the ground, the body's repair ability has already started working from the moment the damage occurred, and the original severe pain is quickly disappearing.

Although this is just a method similar to anesthesia, and it will take some time to truly heal, but at least it will not affect the battle.

And he wasn't even seriously injured in the first place.

After quickly adjusting his condition, Lin Qiao regained his fighting posture.

"Time...stops, stand-in?"

He recalled the last scene he saw before his unknown power flew away.

"The World".

So everything makes sense.

Moreover, although the distance between Li Teng's last standing position was not much different, it did change like a frame skip.

"It seems you also know my abilities."

There wasn't much surprise in his tone.

Li Teng walked to the top of the sand dune and looked down at Lin Qiao, who seemed to have no other injuries except for some pain.

It was obvious that he had been beaten hard by the Platinum Star when he was at Time Stop, but the result was still violent.

"Hey, your body is really hard, you stinky crab."

He snorted coldly, if it weren't for the amazing defense brought by that armor, everything should have been over just now.

Therefore, stacking armor is still very necessary.

"..."

Faced with Li Teng's ridicule, Lin Qiao did not respond.

Although he has figured out the opponent's ability, it is hard to say whether his substitute is Star Platinum or the World...

No, it's not important

In terms of type and ability, there is no essential difference between the two. They are both close-range power substitutes and can stop time.

The key to the problem is how many seconds it can be stopped.

and....

boom!

He pulled out his smoke gun and fired an American Iai shot towards Li Teng quickly.

"Ola!"

A rough war cry sounded. Waving his arms thicker than an adult's thigh, the platinum star beside Li Teng easily knocked away the incoming light bullets.

However, from Lin Qiao's perspective, the destructive light bullet fired at Li Teng changed his trajectory.

"As expected... I can't see it..."

Lin Qiao muttered in a voice that could only be heard by herself.

As a manifestation of spiritual power, only the substitute can see the substitute... Although the existence of a system makes this theory not absolute.

But unfortunately, Lin Qiao does not happen to be among this exception.

Not only does his opponent have the ability to stop time, but he can't even see it.

What a worst case scenario!

So, should we retreat temporarily to be on the safe side?

No, that is absolutely impossible!

Thinking of A2's last appearance, the anger that had aroused in his heart directly rejected this steady method.

For Lin Qiao, just standing here and watching that guy talk nonsense was the limit of his endurance.

—kill him!

It has nothing to do with the system's resurrection, that's all he wants to do now.

Clenching her fists and staring intently at Li Teng on the sand dune, Lin Qiao strode over.

"Hey~ You didn't run away? Did you know that I have the ability of "The World" and you actually walked towards me?It's clear that the artificial man risked his life to get your life, are you so eager to give it back? "

"....If I didn't come closer, how could I kill you?"

"Heh, are you kidding me? But forget it, since you came here on your own initiative, you might as well get closer..."

But before he finished speaking, the muzzle of the smoke gun was pointed at him.

Bang bang bang!

Quickly pulling the trigger, one destructive light bullet after another was fired at Li Teng.

But just like before, the destructive light bullet fired was knocked aside by the Platinum Star.

"It's too slow. With such a rate of fire, there's no need to use "The World"! "

This is indeed the case.

As a rare 5A-level panel stand-in, Platinum Star is the ceiling among all stand-ins in terms of speed and strength.

Coupled with the exaggerated precision, it is not even a warm-up to deal with a smoke gun that only fires at the speed of a pistol.

Of course, Lin Qiao also knew this.

Just when the two sides approached about ten meters away, two extremely huge scarlet spider legs suddenly spread out from behind him.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

In the battle cry that Lin Qiao couldn't hear, Platinum Star used high-speed punches that could leave afterimages, and started hitting the two spider legs at almost the same time.

What a powerful force!

He forcibly stabilized his body and controlled the two spider legs to repeat the downward motion.

But compared to him who was a little reluctant, Li Teng on the opposite side still looked unhurried, and his speed as he walked towards Lin Qiao did not change at all.

Lin Qiao stared at the front where even the air began to vibrate.

There, in the dust raised on the ground, a vague human-shaped blank appeared.

"Is that a substitute?"

There is really no way to tell whether it is Platinum Star or the World from this too rough appearance...

But that doesn't matter anymore.

Now that you can see the rough appearance, what you have to do is very simple.

Spread the remaining two spider legs from behind again, and attack Li Teng's body together.

"Huh, you don't think that an attack of this level will be effective, do you?"

Even though there were two more spider legs, it was still within the range that his Platinum Star could handle.

The vibrations in the air became more violent and frequent, but Li Teng still calmly walked towards Lin Qiao, who was standing there to stabilize his body.

Then--

"Platinum Star·TheWorld!!!"

Just when they were close to a certain distance, Li Teng activated Time Stop again.

only--

Just before he stopped time, Lin Qiao was also ready.

"SteamBreak!"

"Bat!"

The muzzle of the smoke gun was facing diagonally downward, and Lin Qiao decisively pulled the trigger.

Then—

Time stops at this moment.

Chapter 16 Weaknesses of Platinum Star

Stopping time is certainly a powerful ability, but unfortunately, with Li Teng's current ability, 3 seconds is the limit.

In this regard, those indescribable series that stop for an hour or a day are really much better.

But if you want to add a Platinum Star with double A power and speed in these three seconds, that's another story.

Those who can be beaten by Platinum Star Euler for at least three seconds are really not too many.

But now Li Teng is indeed in a dilemma.

Although he planned to kill Lin Qiao once and for all during the time pause, he hesitated when he saw the purple lethal light bullet ejected from the muzzle of the smoke gun next to Lin Qiao and about to fall to the ground.

"Area attack?"

He also saw it when NightRogue used his sure kill before.

To put it bluntly, if he really had to face him, with his physique, he probably wouldn't have to send it on the spot.
