Esdeath... you've finally arrived.
Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Just as the Destruction Orb was still in its nascent stage, the puppet girl, who had been hiding in the extreme ice for a long time, descended upon this land.
Unlike other puppets that crawl out of the mud, Esdeath seems to have her own unique will. Even though she was Resurrection in this way, she would not allow herself to be tainted by the dirt of the earth.
"This is... Esdeath..."
Najenda was gripped by a deep fear whenever she saw Esdeath's face. Her mechanical arm and the edge of her right eye began to throb with pain for no reason. These were the traumatic psychological effects that Esdeath had left on her.
Although she was enveloped in extreme ice and had her eyes closed, her expression lacking her previous arrogant demeanor, a sense of fear was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every member of the ' Night Raid ' team.
But the next second, everyone's fear vanished.
She gently opened her eyes, and those originally azure eyes reflected the exact same crimson as Lin Feng's.
" Lin Feng... did you really kill Esdeath too...?"
There's no time to think about these things anymore.
Lin Feng felt that the doubts raised by the crowd were inappropriate. The Destruction Orb of the Supreme Throne Shikoutazer was about to finish charging up, and if it were to be released, it would be a big problem.
' Esdeath, what would you do in a situation like this?'
Although Lin Feng's ' Alucard Template ' is incredibly powerful, his combat experience is ultimately less than Esdeath's.
He really wanted to know how Esdeath would handle this situation.
Lin Feng channeled all the spiritual energy gathered in the ' River of Death ' into Esdeath alone, hoping to let Esdeath act on instinct to give him the answer.
Blood energy permeated Esdeath's surroundings, followed by an extreme chill that swept through the air. The coldness contained within her icy blue hair almost clashed solemnly with the killing intent of her Dragon Transformation mecha in the air.
This chill wasn't just Esdeath's power; it also came from Lin Feng's blood and energy.
The Machine God looked up at the summoned ice girl, its posture of accumulating energy remaining unchanged, but Honest in the control room broke out in a cold sweat.
" Esdeath... did he kill Esdeath too...? How is that possible? It's absurd..."
"Whether it's Esdeath or this entire country, today I, Honest, will crush them all! They will all die!"
The young emperor sat on his throne, expressionlessly manipulating the machine. It was said that royal members whose engines Dragon Transformation would suffer the same fate as those who were ' Demon Incursion ' and overused—being stripped of their minds and consciousness, becoming mere tools that knew only how to kill.
And now, the young emperor's appearance certainly seems to confirm this.
Looking at the increasingly powerful Destruction Orb before her, Esdeath floated in the air on a slender ice spike, like a snow woman from a mythological story.
With a flick of her slender fingers, five incredibly thick icicles instantly sprang from the ground, each almost the size of a small mountain.
Controlling these icicles seemed to require very little effort, which surprised even Esdeath herself.
Subconsciously, it seemed as if a voice was speaking to Lin Feng.
This voice seemed to be the voice of Esdeath's soul.
----' Lin Feng, is this your power...? It's truly formidable.'
----'If I had known you possessed such power, perhaps I would—no, I would definitely have given up the idea of competing with you for the title of strongest, and would rather have followed you and become your personal servant.'
'Now then, allow me to become your strength.'
Lin Feng listened quietly to Esdeath's thoughts, pouring his blood energy into the puppet Esdeath's body without reservation.
However, it was all too late.
Any move takes time to activate, and the Machine God's Black Destruction Orb has already been fully charged.
A black ray was emitted; though called a ray, it was an attack with a range dozens of times greater than that of a nuclear explosion, similar to the range of the Mine Destruction Cannon.
The moment Lin Feng saw the black rays spread across the sky, he already foresaw what was to come. He knew that whatever he did next would be futile.
Unless, of course, there is one special case.
--------" Mahapadma ----"
The blue-black mark on Esdeath's chest began to shimmer with an alluring light.
Time seemed to freeze in a traditional Chinese ink painting, solidified in the cold air.
Lin Feng once lost his life trying to counter this move.
Now, it could cost Honest his life.
Her eyes narrowed, and with a fierce glint in them, the ice pillar beneath the Shikoutazer's feet instantly grew hundreds of meters higher, forming an astonishingly steep, almost vertical slope.
Then, time resumed its flow.
"Go to hell!"
Honest shouted excitedly at the control panel, and as the Machine God's black power collection reached its peak, a beam of black destructive light suddenly shot out from the completed Destruction Orb.
At the moment of launch, the Machine God's body suddenly shifted by a large 90-degree angle.
"What happened?!"
Honest's body was flung from the control room toward the ceiling, and for a moment he felt dizzy and saw stars.
This is the first time we've encountered a situation like this; there's absolutely no way anyone could take down this enormous robot—the only possibility is...
Honest looked down at his feet from the surveillance camera. What should have been yellow earth and the deep pit he had stepped into was now just a transparent and crystalline ice blue. Upon closer inspection, he could even see water droplets clinging to it, radiating a chilling aura.
The rays that should have destroyed the country, for some reason, did not produce any violent response—the only change was that the sky, which was originally daytime, became as dark as night.
"What exactly happened...?"
The Destruction Orb shattered, and black rays shot out, piercing the sky and turning the once clear sky into an indescribable purplish-black.
Esdeath manipulated the ice pillars to alter the terrain, causing the Machine God's body to lean backward and project that extremely dangerous beam of light into the sky.
That range was a thousand times more terrifying than the Destruction Orb that was fired the first time.
Even though they were far apart, several sections of the ice pillars beneath the Machine God's feet vanished into thin air—they were all within the sweeping range of the black Destruction Orb, and were carried to an unknown world by the terrifying force of its rapid decomposition the instant it was released.
