Chapter 146 - Chapter 146: I Want You To See The Power Of Honkai Impact!

The suppressed shota beneath Vermouth refused to accept such a humiliating position.

With all his might, he fought back using both hands.

Lv2's 『 Grasp of Immortality』 activated repeatedly, desperately trying to drain Vermouth's physique.

But then—

[Ding! The 『 Grasp of Immortality』 failed to absorb physique. The skill target has already been drained today!]

As expected, the skill failed.

There was no chance of it working.

But—

When one door closes, another opens!

Because at that moment—

Lv3's secondary skill triggered a critical hit!

Vermouth's body trembled slightly, her aqua-blue eyes narrowing.

But she didn't doubt him for a second.

After all, she knew Bacardi was capable of such effects.

This was nothing unusual.

For now, she remained completely relaxed, enjoying herself as she toyed with the young boy beneath her—

Just like a cat playing with a mouse.

She had no idea what she was about to face.

No clue what an unimaginable price she would pay for underestimating her enemy.

The young shota, who had been pinned down, suddenly noticed the critical hit land.

His eyes lit up.

A change of strategy!

He immediately recalled the devastating effects of his critical strike skill—

He had tested it on Jodie before.

The results were terrifying.

And today—

It was Vermouth's turn to experience the shockwave of a million little succubi.

Thinking fast, he unleashed Lv2's 『Updraft』!

An invisible wind swept through the restroom, moving with an imperceptible touch—

Gentle. Silent. Inescapable.

It wrapped itself around Vermouth, who was elegantly clad in an emerald green cheongsam.

But Vermouth—

Didn't notice a thing.

She was too preoccupied with the delicious taste in her mouth.

"So sweet," she thought, savoring the lingering flavor.

Her focus was completely consumed by the divine taste, leaving her oblivious to everything else.

Meanwhile—

The 『Updraft』 lingered, before eventually fading away.

A faint radiance shimmered in the room—

A blinding white light, as if the very air had grown brighter.

In the next instant, a mischievous smirk flickered across the young shota's face.

Lv3's Steal Skill activated.

And—

Success!

Before Vermouth even realized it, Akashi had two extra pieces of fabric in his hands.

And—

The jade gemstone necklace from Vermouth's slender neck.

A fragrance filled the air—

Sweet. Intoxicating.

"Eh?"

Akashi's gaze landed on the gemstone.

This wasn't just any necklace.

An ancient artifact.

And—

It contained Yin energy!

No matter how small the mosquito, it's still meat!

Without hesitation, he absorbed the Yin energy from the gem.

[Ding! Yin Energy +666!]

A surge of Yin energy poured into his shota body.

At the same time—

Something strange started happening.

The Yin energy inside both Akashi and Vermouth began to circulate wildly!

Flowing rapidly between them—

+5 points per minute.

+300 points per hour.

The energy poured into the succubus shota—

Only to flow back into Vermouth.

Her expression softened.

Her body relaxed.

A slow, pleasurable sigh escaped her lips.

Indescribable. Unparalleled bliss.

She wanted time to stop right here.

But—

Akashi wasn't finished.

Casually, he tossed aside the cloth and gemstone.

Then—

His right hand rose.

Slowly. Deliberately.

His determined gaze locked onto Vermouth.

Lightning crackled at his fingertips.

A thunderous storm brewed.

He smirked.

"Let me show you the true power of 『God's Right Hand』!"

From his list of skills, Lv3's God's Right Hand shone brilliantly.

And then—

CRITICAL HIT!

COMBO!

CHASE!

Vermouth sensed it immediately.

Something was wrong.

Her aqua-blue eyes widened in shock.

But before she could react—

A whining sound filled the air.

The ever-changing witch of the organization began to tremble.

As if—

She had stepped on a switch.

First Blood! (1)

Double Kill! (2)

Triple Kill! (3)

QUADRA KILL! (4)

PEPEPENTA KILL! (5)

[Note:『God's Right Hand』lvl3: By using your right hand to touch a sensitive area of the opposite sex, there is a high probability of triggering a critical hit, entering God's Domain. Even touching an ordinary area has a small probability of triggering a critical hit. Unlimited critical combos may occur, leading to extreme results. A top-tier dehydration skill!]

Even for Vermouth—

A master of disguise.

A spy who could weave through the shadows of black and white.

A legend within the organization.

This was too much.

Unbearable.

The unbearable weight of her existence.

And in that moment—

She realized—

She had underestimated him.

And now—

She would pay the price.

In this state of collapse, resistance was completely impossible!

Vermouth, her body trembling, collapsed heavily onto the ground.

Her legs still shook violently.

The suppression was lifted!

The restraints—gone!

Akashi rose to his feet, a strange glint flickering in his eyes.

Lv1's Cyclonus.

Cyclonus Lv1: Active skill—doubles speed when used. When driving a "big car," speed is tripled!

Lv1's Bullet Enchantment.

Bullet Enchantment: Upon activation, bullets will be infused with strange magical properties, capable of inducing chaos, poisoning, paralysis, and other immediate negative effects on enemies. In the case of a divine strike against a member of the opposite sex, it triggers complete collapse—leaving behind the Succubus Mark![Succubus Mark: Once afflicted, the target experiences absolute loyalty to the succubus and becomes incapable of tolerating physical contact with any other man!]

Lv2's 『Quick Draw』. 

Quick Draw: Instantly draw your firearm and attack. Attack speed is doubled. 

One by one, he activated his amplifying skills—

His speed surged rapidly!

"My movements are now 4.2 times faster. Can you block them?"

An overwhelming sense of power coursed through Akashi.

And he knew—

This was the moment to strike!

Exploit the enemy's weakness! Crush them completely!

With zero hesitation, the little succubus Akashi began his relentless offensive!

That feeling—

Yes!

The familiar thrill was back!

But just as the momentum peaked—

A sudden roar crackled through the intercom:

"Fire!"

Shintaro Chaki's voice echoed.

Above the cruise ship, two Metropolitan Police Department helicopters closed in. 

Their doors slammed open.

And then—

Boom! Boom!

Two massive cannon blasts erupted!

A pair of large nets shot through the air, descending rapidly toward Kaito Kid on the deck!

Search Section 2 had always deployed high-tech weapons against Kaito Kid—

But today?

Today, Kidd's actions had enraged the officers beyond reason.

Shintaro Chaki didn't hesitate to authorize the use of their deadliest weapon yet.

A net of absolute capture!

Kaito Kid, unable to deploy a decoy, had no choice—

The sky was blocked by helicopters.

If he attempted to glide away, the paraglider would be shot down immediately.

And worse—

A certain little devil stood ready to kick him down if he even tried.

No escape from the air.

No way out.

But then—

A strange whistle pierced the night.

Kaito Kid's eyes flickered with recognition!

Out of the corner of his eye—

He spotted a familiar figure on the deck below.

A man in a top hat.

Konosuke Jii!

Disguised, as expected!

A rope dangled next to him—

A lifeboat!

Understanding his grandfather's signal, Kaito Kid reacted immediately.

With zero hesitation, he threw out his remaining smoke bomb pearls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Thick white smoke exploded across the deck.

The two massive nets dropped—

But caught nothing.

"Fire again!" Shintaro Chaki's voice roared through the intercom.

"Don't let him escape!"

The officers on the helicopters reloaded instantly.

One snare cannon after another fired relentlessly.

But—

Some shots missed.

One even hit Ginzo Nakamori on the deck.

By the time the smoke finally cleared—

Kaito Kid was gone.

The only thing left behind—

A solitary paraglider, tangled in the net.

It was as if Kaito Kid had vanished into thin air!

But amidst the chaos—

Conan's sharp ears caught an unusual sound.

A low engine rumbling.

His eyes widened.

Immediately, he dashed to the cruise ship's railing on his short legs.

Then—

He saw it.

A lifeboat speeding away, cutting through the waves towards Yokohama Port.

And steering the boat—

Kaito Kid himself!

Clad in his signature white suit, the thief navigated the waters effortlessly.

The engine roared loudly, drowning out everything else.

But then—

Inside the lifeboat—

A naked man suddenly stirred.

His hands and feet were bound.

His iconic mustache—gone!

The man?

None other than Kogoro!

The tourists on the cruise ship were stunned at the sight.

Shintaro Chaki's face twisted in fury.

"Unbelievable! They're still holding hostages?!"

"This Kidd is getting out of control!"

Even Conan, usually calm, was left speechless.

His mouth opened, but no words came out.

Meanwhile—

The sea spray slapped against Kogoro's face, snapping him awake.

His eyes darted around in confusion.

"Huh?!"

His mind raced.

Wasn't I at a party?!

Why am I suddenly on a speedboat?!

Why is it so cold?!

And then it hit him—

Why am I not wearing any clothes?!

His expression twisted in horror.

Where are my underwear?!

Panic surged as he watched the cruise ship fading into the distance.

Desperate, he screamed:

"HEL—"

But just as he yelled—

A swift thud landed on the back of his head.

Whack!

Kogoro's eyes rolled back.

And once again—

He passed out.

Kaito Kid let out a sheepish chuckle as he scratched his head.

"Man, what are the odds?"

He never expected such a coincidence.

The lifeboat Jii had prepared—

Turned out to be the same one where he had stashed Kogoro earlier!

With a sigh, he muttered:

"Guess I've got no choice. This uncle's gotta take another nap!"

"I'll drop him off when we reach shore."

And thanks to the naked Kogoro on board—

The police hesitated to pursue.

Shintaro Chaki couldn't risk sending helicopters after them, fearing for the hostage's safety.

So, with no choice but to stand down—

Everyone on the cruise ship could only watch helplessly—

As Kaito Kid vanished once again.
