Volume Six: What She Lost, What I Gained - Chapter 604: Moon of Holy Spirits (2)
From injury to healing, everything happens in the blink of an eye.
(Tsk! Super Regeneration? It's already on par with Sin Annihilation... No, its self-healing speed is even faster than Xiao Wu Sin Annihilation!)
With such a self-healing speed, you either need to find a way to inflict damage that is extremely difficult to heal, or find another way to end the battle.
If she were thrown to the moon using the Mirror Flower Water Moon, would she retain her fighting prowess? Would she be able to return to her original state?
You won't know until you try...
Haoyue's gaze swept across the surroundings, memorizing them—though there wasn't much to memorize; they were above the ocean, with billions of tons of seawater below. Although it was daytime, the Gold Moon Innate could create a false night sky, which, combined with the sea surface... was the perfect condition for using the Mirror Flower Water Moon.
"Gold Moon Innate!"
The golden runes rose into the sky, exploding to form a golden full moon, while a false night sky also took shape. The night sky's reflection appeared in the sea; the only thing to do was to knock her into the sea.
Sizzle!
The Golden Moon unleashed its original power—lasers. Beams of blazing laser light shot from the Golden Moon towards the Planet Will, but most were intercepted by an unknown force before they could reach her, vanishing into nothingness. She looked up at the sky, her gaze locking onto the Golden Moon—
"Eclipse Devour!"
Rolling darkness surged from the black halo, instantly turning Snow Moon pitch black! But Bright Moon didn't take advantage of the Planet Will's attention being temporarily diverted to Golden Moon to directly strike her. With a swing of her sword, the liquid-like darkness immediately exploded in all directions, targeting the countless cross-shaped Light Sword floating around her! Like ink dripping into clear water, thousands of Light Swords of all sizes were completely stained black, and then shot towards the Planet Will!
"Dark Erosion Prison!"
A jet-black cross completely surrounded the Planet Will that was about to act, intertwining and forming a black prison. Strands of darkness seeped from the "bars," staining everything it touched—light, air, and even the Planet Will's butterfly wings—black. The current Eclipse Devour, amplified by the Truth Incantation, was on a completely different level from before; even the golden-pink light on its butterfly wings began to dim.
(She hasn't shown particularly strong power yet, perhaps she hasn't gone all out, or perhaps her awakening isn't complete... Either way, it's an opportunity. It would be best to end the battle before she goes all out! Sorry, Little Butterfly!)
Haoyue raised her hand and clenched it tightly against the Dark Erosion Prison! Instantly, the thousands of pitch-black crosses lost their fixed shape and merged into an inorganic black wall that pressed down on the Planet Will!
However--
The Planet Will merely glanced at the darkness before vanishing.
Centered on her, ripples suddenly appeared in the space around her, like a pebble falling into water, and she disappeared into the space.
"What--" followed immediately,
"Holy Moon, Feather Nest!!!"
The moment Haoyue realized what was happening, she unleashed an extremely powerful defensive skill. The wings of light on her back instantly disintegrated into countless pure white feathers that enveloped her, allowing her to take the full force of the Planet Will! The immense impact made Xiao Wu dizzy for a moment, but the pull of gravity indicated that she was falling! A large hole was torn in the feather nest, and before Haoyue could repair it, the Planet Will vanished into space again, reappearing almost within reach!
Click!
The Light Gun pierced through the hole, less than a centimeter from Haoyue's head! In a panic, Haoyue caused the entire Feather Nest to dissipate into holy light, while simultaneously unleashing her fastest movement skill—
"Divine Speed!"
This was the very technique that Heavenly Law had once been proud of. The power of the Truth Incantation also contained many powerful divine spells, among which Haoyue had secretly learned quite a few of the most powerful ones, and now they were finally coming in handy! Haoyue transformed into a streak of light and instantly appeared hundreds of meters away, while the sweeping Light Gun of the Planet Will will swept just across the head of the remaining afterimage. If Haoyue had been even a fraction slower, he would have died on the spot!
(Thank goodness...)
Haoyue was still shaken.
(Can she move like this? Not the cheap ability of instant teleportation, nor as simple as spatial jumps, she... can move completely integrated into space, shortening even the longest distances to zero. She might even appear on the other side of a planet in the blink of an eye!)
"Calculation... complete."
Just as Haoyue was assessing the Planet Will's combat power in her mind, the Planet Will suddenly emitted a cold voice.
"Intelligence - Unknown, above average; Strength - At the limit of average ability under normal conditions, can be amplified, amplification limit unknown; Speed - Above average under normal conditions, can be amplified, amplification limit unknown; Agility - Above average under normal conditions, can be amplified, amplification limit unknown; Endurance - Stronger than average under normal conditions, can be amplified, amplification limit unknown; Mental Strength - Extremely strong, whether it can be amplified unknown; Combat Skills - Proficient in more than one fighting style; Energy Emission - Able to release multiple forms of energy over long distances and on a large scale for extended periods, limit unknown; Special Ability - Special composite ability, extremely versatile and enduring, limit unknown."
(...?) Calculation?
(So that's how it was... While I was testing her strength, she was also testing me!)
To test the waters.
This means that they didn't give it their all, or even take it seriously.
"Pending further evaluation--"
" --Divine Speed!!!!!"
Haoyue's expression changed drastically. She pushed Divine Speed to the limit, her entire body transforming into a pure white stream of light that pierced through the void, appearing hundreds of kilometers away in just a few flashes! However, a series of ripples flashed across the space, clinging to her like leeches, and the distance between them was rapidly closing! Knowing that she could no longer dodge, Haoyue immediately released the power of the Truth Incantation!
Ninth Super Divine Spell: Shield, protect my heart and body!
"Holy Blessing Embrace!!!"
New wings burst forth from her back, instantly transforming into a pair of giant hands that tightly protected her. At the same time, the Planet Will had reached its limit! The enormous butterfly wings dimmed, and all the golden radiance on them transferred to her left hand. With a flash of light, her slender hand, carrying immense energy powerful enough to make the heavens and earth weep, slammed down fiercely!
▇▇▇▇▇▇!!!!!
In that instant, the sounds of wind, sea, impact, and explosions mingled together, creating a chaotic torrent! An unprecedented impact slammed into the bright moon from above, and immense pressure, enough to shatter space, crushed every inch of her skin. The fierce and violent shockwave reverberated within her body, as if every bone and every organ in her body had shifted!
With difficulty, she opened her bloodshot eyes. The first thing she saw was the nearly destroyed Holy Blessing Embrace, with only a few fragments remaining to protect her body. A large circle of semi-transparent light emanated from her and spread outwards. Beyond the horizon, wherever it passed, it stirred up a tsunami hundreds of meters high!
And the scariest thing is--
(... Hole?)
Looking directly down, the bright moon could no longer see the ocean.
What came into view was a flattened, gray-black gravel field.
It appears to be the seabed.
What about the seawater?
They were all sidelined.
The Planet Will struck, creating a giant circular hole in the sea with a diameter of nearly 300 kilometers. Within this hole, seawater from the surface to the seabed, reaching a depth of 3,000 meters, was pushed in all directions, transforming into a marine storm that swept across the entire area, causing secondary disasters with incalculable damage.
The bright moon, caught in the blast, didn't take the full hit; rather, it was engulfed by the attack and absorbed a portion of it. Perhaps this was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Healing wounds.
I must heal my wounds, I must heal myself.
Clearly, the Planet Will has become completely serious.
Was this terrifying attack her "ultimate move" or just a "normal attack"?
If it's the latter -- huh!?
The Planet Will did not pursue her further; she simply flapped her wings and flew higher, looking down at the bright moon.
A massive amount—no, it can no longer be described as massive—of the displaced seawater surged into the air, forming the most spectacular fountain in the world. The bright moon even had the illusion that it was still at the bottom of the sea!
The Planet Will clenched its fist, and all the seawater that had surged into the sky began to compress, from tens of millions of cubic meters to tens of thousands of cubic meters, and then to thousands of cubic meters. At this moment, all the seawater had been compressed into a long blue whip, possessing superhuman mass and density, yet maintaining the fluidity of a liquid. Combined, it formed the most flexible weapon in the world.
Draw! "Divine Speed!"
Haoyue immediately dodged, narrowly avoiding the super water whip! Even so, the resulting wind pressure almost broke through the defense of her feather robe! A whooshing sound came from directly below, like the light sound of wind blowing through willow leaves, but a bottomless chasm appeared on the seabed below, its edges as smooth and neat as if cut with a ruler!
(This...)
Haoyue was wrong. This weapon, whose density, mass, and flexibility all exceed the common sense of physics, is not some "water whip" at all. It is actually a super-giant soft knife capable of cutting through anything!
However, the drawbacks are also obvious. With such a long weapon, there's bound to be a significant delay between each draw and the return to the starting point of an attack. Just—wait, wait, wait, wait?
The water "blade" retracted—but in the instant it did, it suddenly broke into tens of thousands of pieces! Although fragmented, the density and flexibility of each piece remained undiminished, and each one shot towards Haoyue at extremely high speed! This was an extremely dense, wide-range barrage of bullets; even with Divine Speed, one could only dodge it temporarily. Haoyue, making a split-second judgment, immediately unfurled new wings of light, which protected her like two giant hands. Although this was only a weakened version of Holy Blessing Embrace, it should be able to—
Boom!!!!
A tremendous impact nearly pierced through her; a water bullet struck the shield head-on, creating a perfectly round crater without a single crack! From there, more and more water bullets came rushing in, instantly riddling the powerful defense with holes!
(No... I can't defend! The stronger she is, the more I need to counterattack, otherwise I'll just be suppressed to death!)
During the brief period when Haoyue was suppressed—actually only a few seconds— the Planet Will had completed its new preparations. The airflow around her was incredibly turbulent, resembling a tornado compressed to its own size, mixed with that destructive golden-pink light...
(Energy emission, disappearing into space, controlling seawater, and now this? Can she also control celestial phenomena at will? Is this a privilege of the Planet Will?)
Sure enough, with a planet as her backer, she caused earth-shattering natural disasters... Whether it's storms, tsunamis, or even earthquakes, they're probably as easy for her as breathing!
"But... don't underestimate me!!!"
The pure white crescent moon, which had been hovering behind the bright moon, suddenly burst forth with dazzling light!
