Xing continued to experience her newly acquired powers; she was recovering and had unlocked the long-awaited ability to fly!
Those "Wings of Eternity Preservation," flowing with iridescent and amber Eternity runes, transcend the nature of ordinary flight organs; they are the embodiment of authority and will.
Its form is composed of pure light flow and condensed laws; it is not a physical entity, yet it is more like one.
When spread out, its wingspan blots out the sky, with billions of rainbow rays flowing and changing like a liquid sky, the edges adorned with tiny golden stardust. Each flap of its wings ripples with a dreamlike halo, leaving behind a rainbow trail that lingers for a long time.
When they converge, they transform into two cascading waterfalls of divine light, flowing with a warm, jade-like iridescence. At their core, a massive amber "∞" symbol rotates, radiating a sense of Order that stabilizes the space.
Its speed surpasses the limitations of physical laws. Wherever the will goes, the wings will follow.
Without the need for acceleration, it can instantly reach speeds beyond the limits of visual perception, like a rainbow lightning bolt tearing through space, weaving through ruins as if on flat ground, fast as a streak of light, and as stable as a rock.
This is the absolute control over the heavens bestowed by the authority of "the sky".
Its defense... this is the core and most powerful power of the " Eternity Wings of Preservation "!
Absolute Protection Domain: Without deliberate activation, the wings react instantly when they sense a threat to the star itself or its intended protector.
With a slight thought, a single wing, two wings, or any shape of light feathers can instantly extend and combine to form an iridescent light shield of any size and shape.
The core of the shield must be that slowly rotating amber-colored "∞" symbol.
The light shield is not a simple physical barrier. The iridescent light flowing across its surface embodies the ultimate will of " Preservation " and the law of " Eternity," capable of annihilating any energy or matter that comes into contact with it.
For example, it can directly decompose or erase the essential energy of an attack, or transform it... absorbing and decomposing " Destruction " energy and feeding it back into gentle rainbow energy to maintain the light shield or heal the creatures within its protective range.
Conceptual defense is not only effective against physical impacts and energy bombardments, but also against mental erosion, curses, spatial tears, and even distortions at the level of rules.
It is as if an absolute realm, isolated from all laws, is constructed around the star and its Preservation object, consisting of the concept of " Eternity " itself.
The strange sensation of touching the light feathers—warm and smooth like jade, yet containing an indomitable will—still lingered on Xing's fingertips.
She was about to explain to her companions this sudden change, and the message contained in the cold, inaudible voice in her mind—
Buzz!
An overwhelming force, not of her own volition, erupted without warning from the core of the newly closed " Eternity Preservation Wings"... from the slowly rotating amber "∞" symbol!
"?!"
Xing felt a tremendous downward force grip her body, as if the divine wings that had just carried her soaring through the heavens had instantly turned into heavy blocks of lead.
Swish--!!!
Without any warning, without even giving her a moment to process it, the pair of wings flowing with magnificent iridescent colors suddenly sank.
Xing was as if he had been slammed down from the sky by an invisible giant hand, turning into an out-of-control rainbow-colored meteor and plummeting straight towards the charred and shattered platform below.
It moved so fast that it left only a blinding, descending trail of rainbow light on everyone's retinas.
"Star--!!!"
"Careful!"
"What happened?!"
Exclamations erupted instantly; everyone on the platform was terrified by this sudden turn of events.
Dan Heng reacted the fastest; the instant his pupils contracted, his Cloud-Piercing Spear instinctively thrust out in the direction where the star was falling.
He tried to block or slow it down with the barrel of his gun, but he immediately realized that the speed and force were too great to be stopped by human power, and the tip of the gun could only futilely cut through the air.
Phainon's muscles, which had just relaxed, tensed up instantly like iron. He swung the " Dawn's Advance " greatsword upwards with all his might, intending to cushion it beneath Xing.
Hyacine's face turned deathly pale. Her hands instinctively reached out and picked up the dimly lit "Sky" Core Flame again, trying to draw upon the rainbow to receive it.
The Core Flame flickered weakly, but it seemed to be suppressed by the greater and more fundamental power of the same origin on the star wings, and the rainbow light dissipated as soon as it overflowed.
March 7th screamed in fright, completely unaware that the ice spear had slipped from her hand and fallen to the ground, her eyes filled with bewilderment.
How could a star that was just soaring like a god, easily blocking the catastrophic boulder, suddenly lose control and plummet?
Even the petite Mimi felt the terrifying wind pressure from the uncontrolled descent, and her furry little face, which had just been lifted, was slammed back onto the platform.
Xing herself was completely blank.
She could clearly feel the wind whistling past her ears, and the platform below rapidly magnified in her vision: a charred crater, molten metal edges, and the horrified faces of her companions...
Everything became both incredibly clear and incredibly distant. She tried to summon her thoughts, trying to command those wings to reopen and flap.
But the rotating "∞" symbol at the core of the wings seemed to be stuck in some kind of stagnation, extremely heavy, and unresponsive to the call of will.
The force pulling her down was domineering and unfamiliar, as if it came from another dimension.
"Move!"
Xing roared inwardly, desperately urging his will to " Preservation " and trying to awaken the instinctive defense of his wings.
Ten meters!
Five meters!
Three meters!
Just as her figure was about to crash into the scorched lava edge of the giant crater like a meteorite, and Phainon and Dan Heng were about to futilely touch her—
Buzz--!!!
The core of the pair of heavy, falling iridescent wings, the amber-colored "∞" symbol, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented, intense light, like a supernova explosion.
Not for flying, but for protection!
The purest and most extreme will to " Preservation " finally overcame the inexplicable heavy pull and was fully activated at the critical moment.
Instead of unfolding its wings, the core "∞" symbol seemed to come alive, instantly projecting a vertically downward amber beam of light, only slightly wider than the star's body.
The beam of light precisely enveloped the star, its inner walls flowing with densely rotating infinity runes.
boom!!!
Xing's body crashed violently into the inner wall of the pillar of light, which was composed of the pure laws of " Preservation " and " Eternity "!
In the dead silence, the inner wall of the pillar of light, like the most flexible yet dense liquid amber, instantly absorbed the terrifying kinetic energy carried by the falling star—energy powerful enough to shatter mountains—layer by layer.
Countless intricate ∞ runes, like precise gears, frantically canceled out and transformed each other.
Xing's body, within this amber-colored pillar of light, was like a gemstone falling into sticky honey, its descent speed decreasing rapidly, almost imperceptibly.
Finally, less than half a meter above the scorching lava at the bottom of the charred pit, her body was gently supported by this absolute protective force.
The iridescent wings of light still hung heavily, but the light from the core "∞" symbol slowly receded.
Xing floated in the amber-colored pillar of light, panting heavily, still shaken. Beneath her feet was lava radiating terrifying heat, yet her body was completely unharmed.
"Strange... what exactly happened?"
