Traveling through Tomorrow's Ark: Starting with a Yama Sword

At 4:04 p.m., in an open space near Rhode Island.

The wind was blowing, the sand was rising, and the travelers in a foreign land were waiting for the final battle. A woman in the distance was walking slowly, her eyes full of murderous intent. This moment seemed to be infinitely prolonged, waiting for everything to begin.

Shen Qi sat on a white plastic chair - this was the place chosen by Ines, and Ines asked him to sit here and wait for him.

This duel took place three days after the conversation, and Shen Qi's hand injury had healed. This was his first duel with Ines, a natural disaster-level system. Although his chance of winning was 0%, he still agreed to this battle just to test his own strength.

Ines walked slowly towards the seated Shen Qi, her footsteps sounding particularly heavy at this moment.

"Hey host, your days of getting my free sex are over!"

Inès stretched out her right hand: "Give me the Yama Blade."

"If you want it, just come and get it yourself. You know the rules."

Shen Qi sighed and slowly stood up. Holding the Yama Knife, he kicked the white plastic chair away.

(Don’t ask, the answer is that plastic is not biodegradable.)

"How many times have we fought?"

"Not once." Inès said coldly, "I have been electrocuting you since you fell to Terra."

Shen Qi smiled slightly and clenched the Yama Sword in his hand.

"It's time to put an end to this, host!"

Ines drew out the long sword from her waist, which was the weapon she would use when she activated her second skill:

"It's all over."

Shen Qi drew his sword, looked at Ines in front of him, sneered, and prepared for fighting.

"bring it on."

Before Shen Qi finished his words, Ines suddenly appeared in front of him - in just a blink of an eye, Ines "flashed" over!

It's worthy of being called a system! Shen Qi didn't dodge at all, and directly swung up the Yama Blade to take Inès's sword head-on.

"Shh!"

When the swords collided, lightning and fire burst out. Shen Qi took a step back and took it completely.

"Yes, host, I still underestimated you."

Ines blinked and suddenly disappeared from Shen Qi's sight. Shen Qi naturally knew what she was going to do, and he bent down to avoid Ines' sneak attack from behind. Shen Qi smiled coldly, and suddenly reached out and grabbed Ines' left wrist as she tried to sneak attack. Ines also reacted quickly, and took out a hidden weapon to stab Shen Qi's arm. Shen Qi screamed "Fuck", as if he had been electrocuted, and instantly let go of Ines' wrist.

"interesting."

Ines took a quick step back, and then threw several hidden weapons at Shen Qi. Shen Qi easily blocked them with the Yama Knife, and even turned his head to watch a hidden weapon fly away.

After a few rounds, the two were actually evenly matched!

But in terms of physical strength, Ines definitely beats Shen Qi. Her sense of oppression far exceeds that of Texas.

"I still say that if I fight a protracted war, I will lose." Shen Qi thought.

"That's not right. Fighting the system is a losing battle..."

Seeing Shen Qi hesitated, Ines threw a few more hidden weapons at him, and this time they worked. One of them scratched Shen Qi's arm, leaving a small cut - Shen Qi felt obvious pain, but he couldn't care about the wound now - according to his current physical condition, his wound would heal at an extremely slow speed, so he could only concentrate on the duel in front of him.

"It's my turn to attack this time!"

Shen Qi deeply understood Ines' true teachings. He took a few steps and rushed in front of Ines:

"Yan Mo Dao - Continuous Slash!"

Shen Qi swung the Yama Blade with all his might, but Inès, a mercenary who had been trained in hail of bullets, dodged almost all of the attacks and took out her long sword to chop back.

"Host, I possess all of Inès' abilities!"

Shen Qi then realized that what Ines was using now was just the power of Operator Ines herself. She had not yet used her extra abilities, but everything seemed to have just begun.

"Come again!"

Shen Qi did not hesitate, and raised the Yama Blade to chop at Ines...

------------

"Good afternoon, Texas."

Amiya anxiously greeted Texas who worked at the trading post.

"Good afternoon." Texas put down the work at hand and replied to Amiya.

"Texas, have you seen Inès? The Doctor had something to do with her this afternoon, but he didn't see her."

Amiya finally asked the question, and Texas just said:

"Operator Ines, I haven't seen her in the past few days. But when I was chatting with Millennium, he said that he was going to have a sparring match with Ines..."

"Ah, they want to spar?"

Amiya hadn't expected this: "Thank you, I see."

Texas blinked and returned to the workbench. She thought about it and realized that Qiannian was too competitive...

(Shen Qi: You think I want to.)

------------

"you are tired."

Ines looked at Shen Qi who was panting and said slowly: "I'll give you five seconds to rest."

Shen Qi suddenly felt something strange. Was this really a duel, not training?

"If I don't add some water, you really can't beat me."

"Nonsense, I can't beat you even if you let me win!"

Shen Qi said confidently.

"Okay, I won't let go then."

This time it was Ines' turn to sneer. She threw away the hidden weapon on her body, snapped her fingers, and an axe appeared in her right hand.

"Host, I promise you won't be like that."

Shen Qi opened his eyes wide, he seemed to know what Ines was going to do. Now that things had come to this, he could only go ahead and do it.

He took a deep breath and snapped his fingers, and a purple sword appeared in his left hand - now it was time to test the power of the dual sword style.

And what about Inès? Her arms were shaking again, and her eyes turned into the same murderous orange-red color as a few days ago:

"I'm not a god, but I'm not useless either."

Ines stared at Shen Qi, like a hunter from the border:

"Trust in the All-Father of the Gods!"
