Phantylia's First Defeat, and the Second Battle Begins [7k]

March 7th and Xing nodded quickly.

Ratio gathered energy in his hands again and ran towards the Doomsday Beast.

While running, they happened to pass by the place where Aventurine was located.

Aventurine asked him, "So, what were the results of the investigation?"

Ratio shook his head slightly.

"Nguyen Mai's laboratory was heavily guarded, and I was unable to get in."

"Alright, I knew that even if Nguyen May left the lab, she couldn't have been completely unprepared. Ever since the Chadwick incident, the Genius Society has become even more vigilant towards us."

Holding his head in his hands, Aventurine positioned himself comfortably and whispered to Ratio.

Ratio walked forward, ignoring the Aventurine.

Appearing beside Xing, he casually pointed to a Doomsday Beast.

"I'll handle this one. You guys go and take care of the others. Then, go and support the rest of the team."

After saying this, Ratio charged towards the Doomsday Beast.

His skills weren't particularly outstanding, but he could easily take on a single Doomsday Beast.

On the other hand, with Star still in enhanced form and March 7th joining forces, the difficulty of fighting a Doomsday Beast is even lower.

Soon, after Xing's club came crashing down from the sky, the entire body of a Doomsday Beast was smashed into pieces by Xing.

As Xing landed, she clapped her hands and said to March 7th behind her, "Come on, Little March, you go help Dan Heng, and I'll go help Ji Yuan."

"Good!"

March 7th gripped her longbow, nodded excitedly, turned to look at Dan Heng who was fighting, and charged over with a shout.

"Dan Heng, I'm here to help you!"

As she spoke, she forcefully drew back the bow and arrow, and began firing at the Doomsday Beast in front of Dan Heng.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuan was fighting two opponents at once. He had just swung the replica of the Zhi Li Sword to smash one of the Doomsday Beast away when the other Doomsday Beast rushed behind him, raising its fists high to strike. Just as Ji Yuan was about to take the hit head-on, Xing appeared behind him, raising Baseball Bat high with both hands and smashing it down on the Doomsday Beast's fists.

"Ji Yuan, let me help you."

After smashing the Doomsday Beast, Xing landed next to Ji Yuan, holding Baseball Bat high in her hand, and leaned back to Ji Yuan.

"Okay, let's take them down now."

Ji Yuan gripped his longsword tightly, then charged to either side with Xing, brandishing their weapons to launch a fierce counterattack against the Doomsday Beast. Ji Yuan was already capable of holding his own against two opponents, and now, fighting a single Doomsday Beast one-on-one, he was even more at ease.

The two enormous fists of the Doomsday Beast swung at Ji Yuan, but he easily dodged them and passed right through them. Reaching the top of the Doomsday Beast's head, Ji Yuan raised the clone of the Zhi Li Sword high with both hands, and the icy energy on his body erupted.

Ji Yuan infused the greatsword with icy energy and swung it backhand. A massive icy sword aura emanated from the blade, forming a hundred-meter-long icy path. The Doomsday Beast was on this path, and the icy sword aura instantly froze it solid. In the distance along the icy path, a considerable number of the Anti-Matter Legion were also frozen by Ji Yuan's icy sword aura.

With the Doomsday Beast unable to move for the time being, Ji Yuan once again channeled his icy energy into the sword and his limbs, and instantly charged towards the Doomsday Beast's body.

Ji Yuan pierced through the Doomsday Beast in an instant, passing right through its body. After piercing through, Ji Yuan quickly stopped his movement, then turned his entire body 180 degrees and flicked his wrist to unleash two icy sword energies.

A cross-shaped sword aura slashed across the body of the Doomsday Beast, cutting it into ten pieces.

"Take one down."

Ji Yuan said softly.

He then turned his head and saw that Xing was suppressing another Doomsday Beast. He intended to help, but when Xing saw Ji Yuan coming over, she, who was in the middle of the fight, immediately shouted, "Ji Yuan, go help the others. I can handle this Doomsday Beast by myself."

"Okay, then be careful not to get hurt."

"Don't worry, I'm just as good as you."

Xing assured Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan surveyed the rest of the battlefield.

Jingliu and Ruan Mei, the two teachers, were currently locked in a fierce battle, and Ji Yuan really couldn't interfere. With March 7th's help, Dan Heng's situation was basically stable, and victory against the two Doomsday Beast was only a matter of time.

It's really not appropriate to get involved with Uncle Yang's side, so the only one I can help on the battlefield is Sam's side.

Although Sam had been strengthened by Ji Yuan, it was still quite difficult for her to fight against three Doomsday Beasts by herself.

Ji Yuan rushed towards Sam's direction.

At this moment, Sam is using her fists to resist the energy released by the two Doomsday Beast working together, while the last Doomsday Beast burrows out from underground and attacks her feet.

However, before the Doomsday Beast could even attack Sam, Ji Yuan channeled his icy energy into his body again and charged towards it, piercing through its arm as well. Having severed one of the Doomsday Beast's arms, Ji Yuan then went to Sam's side.

"You owe me a favor."

Ji Yuan said this jokingly to Sam.

"Hmm..." Sam was about to nod, but she suddenly realized something was wrong.

No, I came here to help you fight, how did it become that I owe you a favor?

Sam was filled with questions.

Seeing the mechanical armor's puzzled expression, Ji Yuan chuckled and said, "Alright, I was just kidding. Come on, hurry up and take care of these three Doomsday Beasts. I'll hold off these two, and you take care of the last one quickly. After you've dealt with it, come help me."

"Um."

Sam nodded.

She rushed downwards to deal with the Doomsday Beast that Ji Yuan had injured. Ji Yuan, on the other hand, went to contend with the remaining two.

With Ji Yuan's blessing, her current strength far surpasses that of Ji Yuan. At this moment, she swung her fist, her swift, fiery fists slamming into the head of the Doomsday Beast.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

After countless punches, the Doomsday Beast collapsed to the ground, its energy completely dissipated, clearly beyond saving.

After completing the attack, Sam didn't even have time to rest before turning around and joining Ji Yuan to deal with the two Doomsday Beasts.

The two had fought side-by-side several times and had developed a certain level of teamwork. In addition, their attributes influenced each other, and their intertwined energies unleashed even greater power.

Soon, under their attacks, the remaining two Doomsday Beasts were also successfully killed by Ji Yuan and Sam.

Seeing this, Celenova, who was still being blocked by Welt, turned even darker.

Her commands were all seen through by the enemy, who used all their strength to block all her attacks.

She glared angrily at Welt Young, Welt at that moment placed his already violently fluctuating black hole between the two of them.

Sweat beaded on Welt's forehead. He took a deep breath and said, "Celenova, this black hole absorbed your attack and compressed it inside. If you attack again, this black hole will explode. And in such an explosion, even if I die here, you will probably be seriously injured. As a Lord of Destruction, you wouldn't want to see that happen, would you?"

What are you planning to do?

Celenova asked, frowning.

"My mission is to stop you, so I think it's more appropriate for you, as a commander, to stay in the rear."

Welt held up the black hole in his hand and said.

Celenova frowned deeply.

She sat back down in her seat and waved to the Anti-Matter Legion behind her. "The rest of you, charge forward!"

She issued the order again, sending all the remaining Anti-Matter Legion around her forward.

Anyway, she still has a larger and more ferocious force in outer space right now, so it doesn't matter if all these Anti-Matter Legion are lost here.

Welt's threat was still very effective, and she was naturally aware of its power, so she dared not take any risks rashly.

Facing the surging Anti-Matter Legion, Welt Yang frowned secretly. However, it was already extremely difficult for him to stop Celenova using his own methods; the rest depended on others.

The Anti-Matter Legion launched a swift attack.

At this moment, the Silvermane Guards and the employees of the Interastral Peace Corporation were at their last gasp and had few options in the face of such a fierce attack.

Just as they were feeling desperate, a woman's voice came from the side of the Anti-Matter Legion's attack.

"Fortunately, I arrived in time. If the battle had already ended when I got here, it would have been my fault."

March 7th and Dan Heng had just dealt with the two Doomsday Beast when they heard this sound, and they excitedly clenched their fists.

"It's Himeko- neechan. Luckily, she arrived in time, otherwise we really would have lost."

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a small, man-made satellite flying above the Anti-Matter Legion.

From that satellite, a high-temperature energy attack was launched.

Flames descended from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, instantly annihilating a large portion of the Anti-Matter Legion.

Then, the sounds of mechanical activity came from the wind and snow.

Tall figures could be vaguely seen and then disappeared.

As the figures drew closer, everyone could see them more clearly.

Creation Engine

More than a dozen Creation Engine appeared there.

Himeko sat on the shoulder of one of the Creation Engine, smiling as she looked at the Anti-Matter Legion.

The sudden appearance of the enormous creature startled the Anti-Matter Legion, who even flinched away in fear.

These Creation Engine, standing still, put immense pressure on the Anti-Matter Legion.

Seeing this, Ji Yuan gently patted Sam on the shoulder and then instantly appeared next to Xing, who had already defeated the Doomsday Beast.

He grabbed Himeko's hand and walked towards Himeko.

"Come on, hurry up and come with me."

He whispered to Xing.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

As her arm was grabbed and she was led toward Himeko, Hoshi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Himeko's Creation Engine is out of power. She's just bluffing. I'm taking you there to replenish the energy of those Anti-Matter Legion."

Ji Yuan said in a low voice.

The power system that Himeko modified currently relies primarily on the star core on the planet for energy. Without the replenishment of star core energy, it's already quite an achievement that Himeko was able to bring these Creation Engine here.

"Uh-huh."

Xing nodded quietly.

The two of them, hand in hand, quickly approached Himeko.

"Himeko- neechan, the Creation Engine that you and I modified together can't be left here to admire their power all by yourself."

Ji Yuan said with a grin.

Himeko breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ji Yuan and Xing arrive.

Fine,

Ji Yuan was aware of this; otherwise, if these Creation Engine remained stationary for an extended period, they would certainly arouse suspicion.

Pulling Xing along, he quickly absorbed the star core energy from Xing's body and then poured it into the Creation Engine.

After fully charging the Creation Engine, Himeko immediately commanded the machine beneath her to begin operating.

Ji Yuan planned to go to the next Creation Engine with Xing, but he still had some questions in his mind, so he asked Himeko, "By the way, Sister Himeko, do these Creation Engine still need to be operated by people in battle?"

Mr. Welt has always wanted to pilot a large mech.

Himeko picked up a cup of coffee and took a sip.

As she drank, she smiled and said to Ji Yuan:

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Welt. You use the virus to manipulate those small machines, and I can further use those small machines to manipulate the Creation Engine. Now these creation engines only need one person, either you or me, to operate them. There's no need for so many people to operate them."

"It's alright, he's busy right now anyway."

Ji Yuan and Himeko made a joke, and then Ji Yuan and Xing continued on to the other Creation Engine.

During the operation, Ji Yuan reminded Xing, "If you feel unwell, remember to tell me so we can stop."
