"You've gotten stronger again?"

With a soft whisper, Anqi didn't wait for Kevin to explain, nor did she intend to show weakness; she simply focused on tapping into her own potential.

Anqi knew exactly where the key to victory lay.

In terms of combat intuition and skill, Kevin is undoubtedly a peerless monster. Anqi is far less experienced, but she is quick-witted and has over a thousand thought processes working together to assist her, so she's not far behind.

As for powers, spatial power is indeed convenient, but it's nothing special in front of Kevin. Honkai Energy itself is an all-powerful force that transcends the constraints of physical frameworks. When the energy level is strong enough to reach their level, whether it manifests as space or light and heat is no longer important; only the energy intensity itself matters.

So, whoever outputs more energy wins; it's that simple.

With both hands gripping the gun, Anqi's physical strength, combined with that of Chiyou and Su, and the Honkai Energy of the Herrscher of Wind and the Herrscher of the Void, continuously concentrated and expanded under the control of the Great Void Sword Heart, which she had cultivated day and night, transforming into even stronger and greater power.

Her figure became even more slender, and her flowing, snow-white hair radiated an irrepressible aura of energy. Terrifying energy fluctuations tore through the surrounding space, clashing head-on with Kevin's scorching power.

"Bang!!!"

The two merely exchanged a glance, and the collision of their energies transformed into a deafening roar that shattered space, instantly revealing a scene of world destruction that continued to expand.

"How terrifying..."

Kiana peeked out from the corner, her teeth chattering.

She had seen Chiyou's boundless body spanning the East Sea, and she had also witnessed the epic battles between Delta, Durandal Ninti Welt.

The number of powerful enemies defeated in the Dreamscape is countless.

But only now has she truly witnessed the power of the ceiling level.

"I can't... No, I can definitely do it! I've already said those things to Anqi, if I back out now, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?"

Kiana shook her head sharply, banishing the thought of backing down.

Putting aside the resentment towards the Herrscher of the Void for now, if we don't help her overcome the so-called Stigmata Trial, Kiana won't be able to get out on her own, and Siegfried will eventually be caught and punished.

Therefore, there is no room for retreat.

Faced with an unprecedented and terrifying power, Kiana mustered her courage and, relying on the Void Authority she had just acquired, cautiously approached the center of the battlefield.

"Bang!!!"

Kiana found an opening and inserted herself, only to be met with a deafening, violent collision.

Taking advantage of the instant the two figures retreated, Kiana's eyes lit up, and she appeared behind Kevin.

Without any instruction, she retrieved the Void Lance from the void and thrust it straight at Kevin's kidney from behind.

"I'm going to launch a sneak attack!"

The attack was carried out in one smooth motion, followed by the sound.

However, Kevin's combat instincts were incredibly sharp. In the blink of an eye, he swung his sword and sent Kiana flying far away.

But Kevin couldn't give chase, because Anqi was already right in front of him, her cold golden eyes and overwhelming power putting pressure on him so he couldn't concentrate.

"Bang!"

Kiana landed on a floating, broken island, the impact shattering the island into countless falling rocks that plunged into the dark void below.

"Hiss--"

Kiana, her face pale, pressed her trembling right hand, knowing it was at least a fracture. But she gritted her teeth, forcefully channeling Honkai Energy to ensure her arm could be used normally, and then her figure disappeared into the void.

Soon, around the two locked in fierce combat, a series of jaggedly thrown spears appeared, each striking a spot Kevin had to be on guard against.

Taking advantage of the situation, Anqi increased her pressure and soon knocked Kevin into the Abyss.

Kiana immediately appeared beside Anqi.

"Hey, can you still hold on, Herrscher of the Void?"

"..."

"Don't stay silent, you're not mute! That guy is tough to deal with, let's cooperate, otherwise we won't get out!"

"..."

Due to her aloof and difficult-to-communicate persona, Anqi only glanced almost imperceptibly at Kiana's right arm, which was forcibly fixed by Honkai Energy, and then charged towards Kevin again without saying a word—with overwhelming anger, "What the hell have you done to my Qi Bao?"

Kiana also got angry on her own.

"What kind of time is this to be playing these tricks on me? Do you think I want to help you?"

Kiana tugged at her hair in frustration, assuming the Herrscher of the Void was just being stubborn and wouldn't accept her kindness. However, she couldn't refuse to help, so with a feeling of resentment, she approached the battlefield again and continued to harass Kevin from a distance.

To be honest, if Kiana were to make even the slightest head-on collision with the two combatants, Anqi would be kneeling on the ground begging Kiana not to die.

Fortunately, Kiana was very self-aware and only focused on harassing them from a distance.

Meanwhile, Anqi quietly seized the opportunity to attack, constantly suppressing Kevin.

Gradually, Kiana seemed to realize something.

"He won't say anything, but he's actually cooperating quite well! This guy is truly worthy of me; he didn't embarrass me!"

Finding joy amidst the crisis, Kiana cheerfully wiped her nose, then stopped thinking about it and focused even more intently on harassing Kevin.

The concept of tacit understanding is subtle. Anqi knew Kiana's thoughts and strategies well, while Kiana instinctively matched Anqi's pace. With this combination, the stalemate began to change.

"Take this arrow!"

Kiana found an opening and, mimicking the Herrscher of the Void, drew her bow and nocked an arrow, compressing Anqi Honkai Energy and folding space on her Void Lance. Then, the spear shot out, deflecting Kevin's sword strike.

Anqi's eyes lit up, and she pierced Kevin's chest with a single shot. An unstoppable surge of powerful energy then propelled Kevin hundreds of miles away.

Kiana played a greater role than the two had imagined, and the tide of the battle finally turned significantly.
