"Come on, let's see who has the last laugh—game begin!"
"My goodness, the [ Ten Stonehearts ] can actually transform, so does that mean Miss Topaz can too...?"
That's not the point!
This time it was Xing's turn to take the lead in complaining. To be honest, it's all her fault. She should have known better than to give that bottle of milk tea to Aventurine.
As the saying goes, Interastral Peace Corporation doesn't fight battles it can't win. Just to be on the safe side, Aventurine specially carried the [ Cornerstone ] from the gift bag with him at all times.
Unfortunately, Aventurine dared not say for sure whether the amber crystal would work. It was a genuine [ Emanator ] level sacred object, and he wasn't sure if he could handle it.
If I don't have the [ Cornerstone ] readily available when I use it, I'll be in big trouble. I'd better play it safe for now.
boom!
Himeko seized the initiative, successfully hitting the Aventurine with a single railgun shot.
Xing followed closely behind, and before Aventurine could react, she activated the hourglass necklace, attempting to snatch the amber crystal back from him.
Clang!
The amber crystal suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and a shockwave exploded from the point of contact between the crystal and the necklace, directly throwing Xing away.
"Oh? Miss Stellaron, thank you for your wonderful demonstration!" Aventurine tilted his head, carefully examining the amber crystal. He seemed to know how to use it.
"The crystal is indestructible; only you can defeat the Aventurine, Star."
"Huh? We're mining for Aventurine?"
Xing looked surprised; she had just been thrown back by the aftershocks. How was she supposed to fight now?
"To control Eternity with Eternity."
Welt adjusted his glasses; after all, this crystal belonged to Ye Yan, and it contained some degree of [ Eternity ].
As long as [ Eternity ] exists, the Star Necklace can absorb it.
"How are we supposed to fight this?!"
March 7th watched helplessly as the ice arrow he had shot struck the crystal barrier and vanished in an instant, and he stomped his feet in anger.
" Teacher Ye Yan, was this amber stone taken from the [ Preservation ] Aeon?!"
Ye Yan did not respond, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.
"Um... never mind, never mind."
On March 7th, we regrouped and, together with Xing, marched towards the Aventurine.
Upon hearing the exclamation of "March 7th, "Aventurine paused, stunned for a few seconds.
Judging from what this pink-haired lady is saying, this crystal is actually amber that fell from the body of the Amber Lord when he swung his hammer? No... if that's true, this is probably a treasure that even Diamond can't touch.
That [ Eternity ] Emanator actually possesses this? Are you kidding me...?
Aventurine glanced at Acheron, who remained inactive and only on the defensive; he could not delay any longer.
"Playing your cards slowly and deliberately... you're making me a little impatient." He deftly pushed away Xing, who tried to get close, and his gaze locked onto Acheron in the center of the group like a hawk.
Hahahaha~
With a burst of maniacal laughter, Aventurine Gold erupted with dazzling golden light and rose into the air!
"To have a good time, everyone—I'm going to bet everything."
"Only by abandoning Reason can true competition take place."
He flicked his finger, tossing out the most special piece of amber crystal in his hand.
"[ Emanator ] -- You'll definitely call, right?"
A terrifying gravitational wave suddenly descended, as if the entire dream was mourning its arrival.
Immediately afterwards, a heavy hammer blow, powerful enough to shake the stars, tore through the sky; one might have thought they had entered the Amber Era 2159.
Everyone looked up and saw a meteorite, as large as a mountain and wreathed in flames, slowly taking shape in the sky, its shadow instantly enveloping the entire [ Golden Hour ].
"Hey, hey, hey, bringing up meteorites is just too outrageous!" March 7th retorted calmly under pressure.
Moreover, a dense and violent rain of chips followed closely behind. Countless golden chips were no longer just illusory symbols; they were like golden cannonballs, violently crashing against the surrounding high-rise buildings.
The glass curtain wall shattered, the reinforced concrete collapsed, and huge fragments and dust shot into the sky, merging into an apocalyptic dust storm!
"He's really mastered this combination technique, combining single-target suppression with area-of-effect attacks." Ye Yan stepped to the front and commented with a hint of appreciation in his voice.
He turned his head to look at Acheron, who had his hand resting on the ancient scabbard at his waist. This was a milk tea shop employee he'd finally managed to recruit; how could he be kicked out by the [ Dream Master ]?
Acheron remained silent, only nodding slightly to Ye Yan.
The purpose of the Aventurine was to force her to draw the knife, but given the current situation, the time is not yet ripe for [ Eternity ] to make its move.
Seeing this, Welt and Himeko stepped in front of Hoshi and March 7th, who were both very excited.
"Hey, hey, Himeko, move aside... I can't see Teacher Ye Yan!"
" In March 7th, he didn't seem to intend to make a move, but that's when the importance of mimicry weapons became apparent."
Xing pulled out a mimicry baseball bat, preparing to convert it into a telescope, determined to see every move Ye Yan and Acheron made.
The next second, the mimicry weapon suddenly disappeared from Xing's hand.
"Huh?"
As the meteorite, a symbol of Destruction, plummeted downwards, and the deadly rain of chips was about to engulf everything, Acheron took a step forward, a faint sigh escaping his lips:
"May we weep for the departed, our tears falling like rain, filling the river to overflowing..."
The moment Acheron drew his sword, the rain of golden chips pouring down from the sky all came to an absolute halt.
Only that burning meteorite continued its relentless descent into the frozen world.
call out!
A silvery-white meteor streaked across the sky, tearing through frozen time at an illogical speed and piercing the meteorite with pinpoint accuracy.
Immediately afterwards, a melodious sound, like the tinkling of silver bells, rang out:
"Hahahaha~ I have come here to grant you the opportunity to embrace [ Eternity ], and in the name of [ Eternity ], to bloom..."
Fulisina's figure, enveloped in flowing starlight, appeared where the meteorite had vanished.
Her prepared lines came to an abrupt halt the moment she saw Ye Yan, the Astral Express Crew beside her who seemed to have been frozen in time, and the Aventurine gathering its strength not far away.
Fulisina was momentarily at a loss. "Hiss... [ Nihility ] versus [ Preservation ], that company's envoy seems to be in danger."
As a very important partner of the Church, the importance of Aventurine is self-evident. Few departments of Interastral Peace Corporation can meet the Church's standards, but the [ Strategic Investment Department ] happens to be one of them.
So... there's no reason for Fulisina not to help Aventurine.
Before the crimson blade light could reach the Aventurine, she unleashed a radiance even purer than the Aventurine, enveloping Aventurine.
With a light tap of her fingertips, Fulisina transformed the silvery-white meteor, still carrying momentum after piercing the meteorite, into a spear that stretched across the sky, piercing straight at the blade of light unleashed by Acheron.
Acheron Quan frowned, seemingly not expecting the appearance of this elven priest.
There was no deafening explosion; where the silver spear collided with the scarlet blade, the surrounding space crumbled like shattered glass.
The result was obvious: the dazzling spear trembled violently upon impact with the blade's light, barely managing to withstand the attack for a few seconds before dimming instantly and shattering silently, swallowed by the [ Nihility ].
Two forces at the level of Emanator collided beneath the sky of Penacony's dreamscape, and a crack suddenly appeared that pierced through the entire dreamscape's canopy.
A massive crack stretched to the sky, piercing through the continuously falling meteorite debris, penetrating the stagnant rain of chips, and tearing apart the shimmering light and shadow of the buildings.
