I Will Launch an Awesome Attack

Jumping into the mist, Nicholas was automatically drawn toward the Herrscher of Ice by the influence of Welt's ability.

Terrifying cold swept through Nicholas's entire body in an instant. If not for the alien lifeform on her using its own cells to repair and replace her damaged organs and tissues, she would have already lost consciousness. So she understood that the most critical step could only be carried out by her.

The mist grew thicker. In an environment where one couldn't see their own hand, both the naked eye and equipment became useless. Siegfried knew he only had one chance. Rather than trusting his own unreliable intuition, it was better to wait for good news from Nicholas.

She successfully completed her objective. A dazzling red light instantly drew everyone's attention—she had turned herself into a beacon.

Perhaps sensing Nicholas's little trick, all the ice hairpins that had been flying toward the others reversed course and pierced through Nicholas's body. The red light vanished immediately, and Nicholas collapsed onto the ice.

Siegfried and his wife exchanged a glance and leaped down from the vines together. The vines that had appeared due to Black Abyss White Flower also dissipated.

"Black Abyss White Flower, First Rated Power, Holy Spear: Bloom!"

White light surged toward the spot where the red light had disappeared. Just as it was about to reach its target, Welt released the gravitational restraint, and the Herrscher of Ice was swallowed by the white light once more.

"Nicholas!" Shigure Kira, the closest to her, rushed over as fast as she could based on the sound of Nicholas hitting the ice. The first thing she saw was multiple penetrating wounds on her chest, bleeding profusely.

Her internal organs were pierced by Herrscher-level power, compounded by the erosion of extreme low temperatures. Nicholas knew better than anyone that she, the Chaos Progeny who had survived countless dangerous missions, now had only one breath left.

Sensing Shigure Kira's arrival, she lightly touched her hand. In a daze, she seemed to see Salome's figure.

"Even against a Herrscher... I can still make a difference. Salome, I finally beat you. I'll have to have a good talk with you later."

The "Salome" beside her smiled gently and softly closed her eyes:

"You idiot, Nicholas, when did I ever compete with you? From now on, we have all the time in the world. If there's anything you want to say, you can keep telling me."

"Tch, you're still as boring as ever."

The moment Shigure Kira touched her body, she felt something burrow into her. Her mind went hazy. When she looked at Nicholas again, her eyes were closed, and she had stopped breathing.

The Herrscher of Ice crashed face-first onto the ice. The white light on its body had yet to dissipate when Siegfried raised Divine Fire Judgment high.

"Divine Fire Judgment, Zeroth Rated Power, Divine Fire: Draw!"

Wang watched his movements, feeling his figure gradually overlapping with that man's. Though it didn't know why some will kept preventing it from retreating into the lake, since it couldn't go back...

It steeled itself. The five ice hairpins merged into a single boomerang and shot toward Siegfried at full speed.

After using Divine Fire: Draw, Siegfried felt every cell in his body ignite. Then he lost consciousness and collapsed, utterly unable to defend against the Herrscher of Ice's attack.

At that critical moment, Cheng Lixue shoved Siegfried aside, but became the target herself.

With a tearing sound, Cheng Lixue's left arm flew off, blood spraying like a fountain. She lost her balance and fell onto the ice as well.

"Lixue, Siegfried!" Cecilia, still some distance away, finally reached them.

"Captain, this injury is nothing to me. Go check on Siegfried first. You know better than I do what using Divine Fire: Draw does!"

Ignoring Cheng Lixue's words, Cecilia murmured softly.

"I am the black from the abyss, I am the white descending from the clouds, born before creation, existing after annihilation; I will freely give the water of life to those who thirst."

"Black Abyss White Flower, Zeroth Rated Power, Heilige Lanze, die Welwitschie! (Holy Lance - Hundred Year Orchid)"

A surge of energy flowed into their bodies. But what happened next made Tesla, observing the battlefield, shoot up from her chair.

"Bird's Nest Head, isn't this what Schrödinger used on us back then..."

"No, it's different. Remember how Schrödinger left a plasma shield after using it? But there's nothing here. Lady Cecilia's Zeroth Rated Power is different from both Leanna's and Schrödinger's." Einstein, hurrying along the way, saw this scene and couldn't stop her body from trembling.

Siegfried's body stopped burning. Cheng Lixue not only stopped bleeding but also faced no risk of Honkai energy infection. Though different from Schrödinger's, like Tesla and Einstein, they had broken through the limits of their lifespan from then on, never aging again.

"Ha... ha..." Cecilia thrust Black Abyss White Flower into the ice, gasping heavily. This was the first time in all her years wielding Black Abyss White Flower that she had used its Zeroth Rated Power. She felt as if her entire body had been drained.

At the same time, due to its severely weakened recovery ability, the wounds from Holy Spear: Bloom were far from healed when the terrifying attack of Divine Fire: Draw landed solidly on it. It felt as though its entire body was burning. Divine Fire Judgment tore through not just its body, but also the fear etched into its DNA thousands of years ago.

Sensing that Wang's body was severely damaged, Enoshia didn't hesitate for a moment. She detonated her Herrscher Core inside it. The power of erosion spread through its entire body in an instant, completely corrupting its mind. If positive numbers represented positive emotions and negative numbers represented negative ones, what Enoshia did was draw a minus sign in front of every positive number and utterly devour every thought of survival. That way, even if it wasn't completely dead, without the will to live, it wouldn't think of fleeing.

However, before the self-destruction, Enoshia clearly sensed that it had seemingly given up resistance on its own.

Facing the severely wounded Herrscher of Ice, Welt was about to deliver the finishing blow when a blue light suddenly shot out from its body. In the sky, large patches of blue clouds began to gather. In the end, Enoshia had still underestimated her enemy.

Wang, after all, was a Huilizoo capable of creating incredibly realistic dreams and influencing other lifeforms. The successive anomalies within its own body allowed it, in its final moments, to guess at Enoshia's existence.

Though it was already beyond saving, since it could still choose how to die, it used its last shred of self-control to push its emotions into extreme anger and hatred, then voluntarily dropped its defenses.

[Since I'm going to die anyway... I'll take you all with me!]
