Arknights' Lock of Heaven

Well, I'm feeling pretty upset. Something that could have been solved simply has to be complicated.

There's no other way. The volcano needs time, and we can't just finish things up quickly on our side and then let the Siestas watch over Xia Yu as he does something big.

This is Xia Yu's revenge. It's not about making her go to the meeting alone and face danger head-on, but about making her act in this clichéd drama with this third-rate villain.

Use this to torture her.

They could have easily broken through, but they had to keep acting.

Just wait for me!

As the doctor casually pried open the wall with his bare hands, leaving a large hole, amidst the stares of onlookers who seemed to regard him as a god descending to earth, he gritted his teeth and plotted how he would give Xia Yu a big one in the future.

The group of thugs behind him trembled with fear at the sight of that reinforced concrete!

You just casually pluck it up like you're plucking a piece of foam board...

What would happen if it fell on a person?

Everyone focused their attention on their noses and remained completely still.

She dug a hole big enough for two people to leave before she grabbed Ceylon and jumped from the third floor!

We arrived at the second floor.

Well, the Doctor doesn't like taking risks, at least not right now.

So he didn't just jump from the third floor to show off.

Upon reaching the second floor, the doctor carefully jumped down again, landing on the first floor.

Ceylon, who was being held by her, was filled with random thoughts and couldn't quite make sense of the situation.

Once on the main road, the doctor looked back and saw the bodyguard and Cronin peeking out from the huge hole.

Then, with a thought, he turned off the golden light effect on his body.

“Time’s up,” she shrugged at Ceylon.

"We should run!"

Upon hearing this, Ceylon disregarded everything else and immediately grabbed the Doctor and started running.

"Let's head towards the beach! There are lots of tourists there, and if we blend into the crowd, they won't be able to catch us!"

"..."

"What are you standing there for?" Seeing this, Kronin turned around and glared angrily at the thug beside him. "Hurry up and chase after them!"

Hearing his roar, the black-clad thugs had no choice but to chase after the direction in which the Doctor and Ceylon had fled, their faces full of bitterness.

"Everyone, stop!"

"Don't run!"

They shouted slogans loudly, but several grown men simply couldn't catch up with the two young girls.

The scene was quite comical at one point.

Seeing this, Kronin felt exhausted. His subordinates were incompetent, and he had to continue planning.

After thinking for a moment, he made a call to Black.

"Hey, listen to me! The young lady has been kidnapped!"

"..."

After some persuasion, Kronin finally sent Black to chase after the Doctor.

After doing everything he could, he slumped into his office chair and stared blankly at his office.

Looking at the wall that the doctor had punched through and demolished with his bare hands, he couldn't understand it at all.

With that kind of ability, what's there to be afraid of? He could just rush at you, grab your collar, and slap you a few times across the face, and that would be the end of it.

Do you think those few cowardly bodyguards would dare to stop you?

Could it be, as she said, that she really is an office worker, just like the naive young lady, possessing power but neither knowing nor daring to use it?

What kind of farcical comedy is this?

Kronin felt like his brain wasn't working properly.

Finally, if you want to run, why not just take the stairs? Those cowardly bodyguards wouldn't dare to stop you, and at the very least, glass is easier to break than a wall, right?

Why insist on tearing down the wall?

If it was to demonstrate military power and intimidate others, then why did they turn around and run away after being intimidated?

Kronen expressed his incomprehension.

290 Skadi, help!

"Ugh."

Looking at the thermometer that had already exceeded its limit, and feeling the biting cold wind beside him, Provence looked at Xia Yu and exclaimed, "Mr. Consultant... you really are multi-talented..."

"If it weren't for this Originium Arts, my tail would probably be dripping wet by now."

"I hate high temperatures."

“Who doesn’t?” Tianhuo sighed upon hearing this. “If I could, I wouldn’t want to worry about my clothes burning all the time…”

When using Originium Arts, Tianhuo's personal clothing is even burned by the heat emanating from her body.

This has caused two problems. First, the temperature of the fire is often too high. Although it does not harm the fire itself, the surrounding objects are often not so lucky.

On the other hand, ordinary fibers also cannot insulate against the heat generated by Skyfire. Operator Skyfire has been searching for alternative clothing, or a way to solve this problem once and for all.

Rhodes Island attempted to modify her uniform, but all efforts ultimately failed.

Her talent for Originium Arts is simply too high. Not only her, but all five members of the King's Staff are top-tier geniuses.

Worried about burning their clothes with the flames they release? That's a privilege of geniuses. Normal sorcerers don't have that problem. Their Originium Arts aren't strong enough to be uncontrollable even after years of study.

In daily life, one might experience the annoyance of overheating due to the power of Originium Arts, something most people wouldn't understand.

I'm so envious...

Looking at the cold wind blowing around Xia Yu, Tian Huo's face was full of longing.

This ability... is incredibly useful to me.

Unfortunately, this is someone else's Originium Arts, and I can't just follow him around every day and use him like an air conditioner.

"While this ability is amazing, Advisor, you don't intend to use it to freeze a volcano, do you?"

Tianhuo asked tentatively.

"No, how could you have such an outrageous idea?" Xia Yu's expression turned strange upon hearing this, and she vehemently denied it. "How could I possibly do something so outrageous?"

Upon hearing this, Eyjafjalla gripped her staff tightly.

You never know...

As an expert in Originium Arts, she knew all too well the value of Xia Yu's skills.

Considering what he had shown in Wolumondre, Eyjafjalla felt that he... should be able to do it, right?

However... blocking the crater is not a good option.

Whether it can be done or not is one thing, whether it will be effective is another.

As she stared at Xia Yu in a daze, Xia Yu noticed her gaze.

Then he smiled at her.

“Freezing the volcano...that doesn’t solve the problem at all,” Xia Yu shrugged, “right, Eyjafjalla?”

“Oh, of course,” Eyjafjalla’s eyes lit up when she heard about a question related to her field, and she began to speak eloquently, “Volcanic eruptions are caused by the compression of tectonic plates and the influence of high-energy stone particles. According to Dr. Nauman’s research…”

Watching Eyjafjalla's eloquent explanation, the three people beside her looked on with awe.

He was just joking; after all, he was a top student among top students, so Tianhuo naturally knew this kind of knowledge.

However... this Eyjafjalla is just... too powerful. Is this what a top student is like?

Although Skyfire was confident in her talent, she ultimately lost confidence when facing Eyjafjalla at full power.

She's already an internationally renowned scholar at that age, while I, at about the same age, am still considered a genius student compared to her.

They're not even in the same league.

Simply put, if you apply to the same university, Eyjafjalla will be directly hired as a doctoral supervisor, and various research funds will come to you without being asked.

As for Tianhuo, well, he can hone his skills as an experimenter.

What do you mean by "gap"?

This is the gap.

"In conclusion, sealing the crater to stop a volcanic eruption is completely impossible and will only make the situation worse."

Upon hearing this, the three of them clapped in unison, saying, "We've learned something!"

Although Skyfire was just joking, Eyjafjalla clearly took it seriously, after all, it was her area of ​​expertise.
