A Trap from Space! / Activate: Three Cores Online!

They could also obtain Ling Xi's three cores, and if that happened, the entire human world could be declared destroyed!

Fighting in the sky would prevent her from being disturbed by humans, so even though she knew Ling Xi's suggestion was to protect the city, she didn't refuse, after all...

Without Ling Xi, humanity could be destroyed at any time.

"Ling Xi ..."

Elysia seemed to want to get up, but her injuries made it impossible for her to do so...

"Don't worry, Elysia, I'll be back soon."

Ling Xi quickly helped Elysia up and stopped her from moving around.

"Hehe... Of course I can't stop you, I..."

Elysia hesitated for a while, then gently kissed Ling Xi and smiled, "Go for it, my... hero!"

This scene was naturally broadcast live around the world, even to Mobius sitting below the ruins. Seeing the couple openly displaying their affection on the live stream, Mobius already knew how it would end...

In the gentle breeze, the Doctor's green hair swayed softly...

After helping Elysia into the rescue vehicle, Ling Xi flew directly into space, where another girl was waiting for him...

Chapter 242: A Trap from Space!

When Ling Xi passed through the atmosphere and arrived in space, the Fourth Herrscher had been waiting there for a long time.

For Herrscher, neither air pressure nor oxygen is essential for survival. Although Ling Xi is not a true power, she possesses the power within the Flame Herrscher Core, which is equivalent to her gaining the power of Herrscher. Therefore, engaging in activities in space is naturally not a problem.

Moreover, this place is not exactly outer space; there is still some thin atmosphere, so sound can still travel, albeit with some interference.

"Ling Xi, you... shouldn't exist in this world, and you shouldn't help the people in this world."

Seeing Ling Xi arrive as promised, the Fourth Herrscher did not launch an attack immediately, but instead planned to talk to Ling Xi.

"What I want to do is none of your business."

Ling Xi did not refute the Fourth Herrscher's first statement. After all, the Herrscher was backed by that god, and if it was Him, it would be easy for Him to discover that He was not a person of this world.

"Heh, that's true, but I just want to say that I don't want to be your enemy."

The Fourth Herrscher smiled slightly and said, "The command God gave me is to judge humanity, to judge the humanity of this world. But you are not one of them. So, if you want to leave this world, I can ask God to help you."

"I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness, but there are still the most important people in my life, so..."

Ling Xi directly compressed the flames, forming the Skyfire Greatsword, and aimed it at the Fourth Herrscher, saying, "I suggest you disappear from this world."

As he spoke, Ling Xi launched an attack. This was not because Ling Xi did not want to negotiate with the Fourth Herrscher, but because Ling Xi could not waste time. After all, his current Herrscher form was at the cost of overdrawing his body, and continuing to drag it out would be very disadvantageous for him!

Moreover, Ling Xi had already experienced how strong the Herrscher's ability to sustain combat was during her last battle with the Herrscher of Thunder. Therefore, in any case, if she wanted to win, she could only end the battle quickly.

"Snort..."

Seeing that her plan to stall for time was useless, the Fourth Herrscher snorted coldly and went straight to meet her.

However, since both of them are basically mage-type Herrscher, there was almost no close combat; they were mostly fighting with magic!

On one side are wind blades, hurricanes, and fluid cutting.

On the other side, there are flames, lightning, and the Subspace Spear, which can occasionally unleash Overload and Spread.

The battle lasted for fifteen minutes, with neither side able to gain the upper hand...

However, Ling Xi knew very well that if this continued, she would definitely lose. After all, the other party was a true Herrscher, and there were no side effects to using Herrscher Authority, but she was just Herrscher in disguise, and her body was suffering backlash every second when she used Herrscher.

No, we have to think of another way...

A moment later, realizing that he would definitely lose if things continued like this, Ling Xi decisively took the initiative to change course. After a feint, he turned around and rushed to the ground.

"Um?"

Seeing Ling Xi suddenly run away, the Herrscher of Wind naturally chased after her immediately, after all, this was an opportunity to seize the Herrscher Core.

"Target position detected as suddenly decreasing, appears to be heading towards the ground!"

Moments of Flame-Chasing Moths's temporary command center on the ground also received this intelligence!

"We can't let her come to the ground."

Mobius made a quick decision and immediately gave the order, "Launch the missile! Even if it can't harm the Herrscher, it can at least help Ling Xi distract the enemy!"

"Roger, missile launch!"

Instantly, twelve high-speed missiles were launched from the silo, their target naturally the Herrscher of Wind!

"Fluid cutting!"

Seeing the missile suddenly approaching, Wind Rhythm casually waved his hand, summoning a gentle breeze in front of him. This breeze contained the Herrscher Authority; whatever it was, as soon as it blew, the friction between the molecules of the target instantly became zero, and then...

Then, just like the scene that occurred when the wind was born, those missiles... any matter with zero friction will turn into molecular form...

Although the connection between molecules is not directly related to friction, when a fluid with zero friction is created, the connection between molecules is also broken. This... is an absolute fluid!

Ling Xi watched as the ten missiles instantly turned to dust, and she felt a little panicked, wondering if her spatial powers could withstand this attack.

"Spatial Shock!"

However, the Herrscher of Wind's brief sluggishness gave Ling Xi the perfect opportunity to attack, allowing her to use Spatial Shock!

"Hateful..."

The Herrscher of Wind instantly accelerated and dodged!

"Bang!"

Then, the space behind her began to shake violently!

This move is an unsolvable attack because the essence of Spatial Shock is to cause the space in a certain area to vibrate, thereby creating a displacement and directly killing the enemy from the rules!

Just like a tank, after being attacked by Spatial Shock, the space between the gun barrel and the main body shifts, and the gun barrel ends up a meter away. When the Spatial Shock ends, the tank is not attacked, but the gun barrel has separated from the main body!

Imagine what would happen if this move were applied to a human body? It would be an attack that would be absolutely impossible to defend against, because it wouldn't even be considered an attack; it would simply alter space itself!

Of course, this move cannot be said to be completely unsolvable. After all, Spatial Shock is ultimately the power of the Herrscher, so as long as the Honkai Energy strong enough, it is possible to completely ignore Spatial Shock.

Although the Herrscher of Wind can use Honkai Energy offset most of the damage from Spatial Shock, she will still get injured.

Therefore, when faced with Ling Xi's spatial power attack, the Herrscher of Wind will definitely choose to dodge, since there is no need to take the risk, and... her speed is also the fastest among all the Herrscher!

Of course, one counterattack can't change anything; Ling Xi is still on the run, while the Herrscher of Wind continues to pursue.

The two fought while constantly shifting positions in the air, but overall the Herrscher of Wind still had the advantage. After all, she was a true Herrscher, and even with only one core, she was still not at a disadvantage when facing Ling Xi with Triple Core!

"Hmph... There's a flaw!"

In an instant, the Herrscher of Wind unleashed a wind blade, striking Ling Xi's arm directly...

"Ha, the game is over."

Seeing that she had hit Ling Xi, the Herrscher of Wind's face flashed with excitement. Was this guy running out of stamina? Then the game was really about to end.

"Hehe..."

However, Ling Xi, who had been hit, suddenly laughed, then stopped in place and smiled at the Herrscher of Wind, "Do you know what it took for humanity to become the dominant force in the world?"

"Um?"

Suddenly, Feng Lu felt a little uneasy, but... he hadn't noticed anything unusual.

"Heh, it's all thanks to... wisdom!"

"Space... locked!"

"Smack!"

Ling Xi snapped his fingers, and the surrounding space began to disappear. Yes, it disappeared. The white sky cracked open piece by piece, and finally the whole world became a void. This was Spatial Lock!

Chapter 243: Activation, Triple Core Startup!

"Huh? This is..."

Seeing the sudden change in the surrounding environment, the Herrscher of Wind was also a little nervous. As Herrscher, she naturally knew what was going on. After all, she remembered the knowledge given to her by the God very clearly!

It's Spatial Lock, but not entirely Spatial Lock. To be precise, it isolates the surrounding space and creates an independent space within that area!

In this isolated space, unless the space itself breaks or you use Space Ability to leave, you will be trapped here forever!

So... all that running around in circles in the air was to set up this trap?

"Hmph, I admit you have a lot of ideas, but..."

The Herrscher of Wind sneered, "So what if you trap me here? Are you planning to keep me here forever, or are you going to defeat me here with Spatial Shock?"

The Herrscher of Wind's words were clearly a deliberate taunt, since Ling Xi's current state couldn't be maintained indefinitely, and once Ling Xi could no longer maintain her Herrscher state, the spatial trap would automatically dissipate.

As for letting Ling Xi defeat him with Spatial Shock, that's even more impossible. At most, a single Spatial Shock could only injure him, but...

If Spatial Shock is used in this fragile space, the space will shatter instantly, and the trap will be rendered useless.

Therefore, even though she was trapped by Ling Xi, she was not flustered at all, since Ling Xi could not possibly defeat her here.

"Whoosh..."

In response, Ling Xi simply wiped the bloodstains around him, took a deep breath, and said, "Herrscher, I can give you one last chance. Hand over the Herrscher Core, and I promise I won't kill you, nor will I allow humans to harm you."

At this moment, Ling Xi still intended to give the Herrscher of Wind one last chance. After all, continuing the fight, even if she won, would come at a heavy price, so...

If this matter could be resolved peacefully, Ling Xi would prefer to do so, after all...

As long as the core of the Herrscher of Wind is taken away, she will at most be a Valkyrie with slightly stronger Honkai Energy. As long as she is placed in my home, I will not have to worry about her turning into Herrscher again.

Moreover, this is also an experiment that Ling Xi wants to conduct: whether it is possible to persuade the Herrscher after the personality of the Previous Era Herrscherization.

"Ha, don't talk like you've won."

The Herrscher of Wind chuckled dismissively. "Even if you've trapped me, you still can't hurt me. And your body... in this state, you can only last a few hours at most, right?"

"Well... I'm sorry!"

Although Ling Xi wasn't surprised by the result, she still felt a little disappointed, and then...

"Triple Core, activate!"

Ling Xi fully activated all three Herrscher Core, causing her Ling Xi Honkai Energy to multiply and her aura to far surpass that of the Herrscher of Wind...

"You..."

Seeing Ling Xi's aura surge, the Herrscher of Wind felt a slight worry, but thinking of her own power, she remained calm and scoffed, "Hmph, so what? It's just an increase in energy consumption!"

"Lightning, explode!"

Ling Xi directly used the power of the Lightning Herrscher Core, unleashing countless bolts of lightning that swept towards the Herrscher of Wind. Although this attack would certainly be neutralized by the Herrscher of Wind's power, however...

Even though she is Herrscher, she still has to consume Honkai Energy when using her powers, so this attack is not an ineffective attack. At least it consumed the Herrscher of Wind!

Before the lightning attack was over, the fire attack followed. With all Triple Core activated, Ling Xi decisively used all available attacks.

"If you keep going like this, you'll die!"

Seeing Ling Xi's attacks becoming increasingly fierce, Feng Lu also felt a bit of a problem. After all... his own power was being consumed rapidly, and the rate at which Honkai Energy recover could not keep up with the rate of consumption.

Um?

Wait a minute? My Honkai Energy... can't be replenished?

Oh no, this is... a spatial trap, a spatial trap that cuts off all contact with the outside world. Here, my Honkai Energy only be restored by my core, but I can't draw it from the Imaginary Space.

At the same time, Ling Xi's attacks are so fierce right now, and the rate at which my Honkai Energy is being consumed is... incredibly fast!

If I don't have enough Honkai Energy activate my powers, even ten of me wouldn't be able to defeat Ling Xi!

"You'll die if you do that!"

At this moment, the Herrscher of Wind was also somewhat panicked. After all, with Honkai Energy unable to be replenished and having to use Honkai Energy to activate her powers to resist Ling Xi's attack, she was afraid she might really be in trouble!

So, at this moment, she was really anxious!

"Subspace Spear!"

Ling Xi remained unmoved and continued her relentless suppression attack. Although she was well aware of the cost of activating Triple Core, she had no other choice. Without doing so, she would absolutely not be able to defeat the Herrscher of Wind!

Is it worth it for you to do this?

While dodging Ling Xi's attacks, the Herrscher of Wind began to disrupt Ling Xi's mind, sneering, "With your current power, you could easily obtain much more, even dominate this world, but..."

"You're willing to make such a huge sacrifice for boring humans? I ask you, is it worth it?!"

Whether it was worth it or not, history will tell, and as for me...
