"Huff... This place is so huge, where exactly is the Stellaron hidden!"
March 7th, holding the handle of the scorching ruin ghost's axe with both hands, looked at Dan Heng and Stelle while panting slightly.
After fighting these miscellaneous soldiers for so long without seeing any movement from the Stellaron, their stamina would be completely drained if this continued.
At that moment, an Outer Universe Flame appeared behind March 7th, raising its thick, sharp red claws to deliver a fatal blow to her.
Pfft—
cloud-piercer instantly pierced through the Outer Universe Flame's body, firmly pinning it to the ground.
Dan Heng jumped over, pulled out cloud-piercer, then looked at March 7th with a serious expression and said:
"March, don't get distracted. Search carefully nearby; the Stellaron should be close."
"Okay...!"
March 7th nodded, then looked toward Stelle's position. Seeing an enemy sneak-attacking from behind Stelle, she immediately switched to her ice bow.
Whoosh whoosh—
Two arrows froze the sneaking enemy solid. Stelle, having reacted, nodded at March 7th.
Then, with a swing of her bat, Stelle shattered all the nearby Divergent Creations, then shook her head and began searching around.
Thump thump—
Following the resonance of a heartbeat, Stelle looked up and saw a massive machine covered in ice crystals not far away.
Stelle's pupils contracted. Pointing at the Creation Engine, she turned and shouted to the other two:
"Dan Heng, March! The Stellaron is inside that!"
As soon as Stelle finished speaking, the eye area of the Creation Engine, occupied by the Stellaron, instantly lit up with a golden glow.
Clank clank clank clank—
Urgent gear-turning sounds rang from the Creation Engine's body, then it slowly stood up to its towering height, looking down at the three of them.
Before the Creation Engine, the three of them appeared extremely small.
"Stelle, March, don't get distracted. This enemy is strong...! Divine Raiment: Eighth!"
Dan Heng's attire changed amidst a cyan storm, transforming into a somewhat revealing cyan-and-blue restraint suit.
(Note: The Divine Raiment here has been modified. It can also change styles based on the owner's thoughts later, and some people's angel forms can be customized by the owner. If not changed, it defaults to the original form.)
Dan Heng wore a black open-front jacket on his upper body, with a cyan-blue strapped restraint suit wrapped inside.
Below were dark-colored ultra-short shorts, paired with cyan knee-high socks and suspenders.
After Dan Heng put on the Divine Raiment, the scene fell into an eerie silence.
Even the Stellaron-controlled Creation Engine froze in place.
"Hiss..." x2
Stelle and March 7th gasped, looking at Dan Heng with complex eyes, thinking, "I never expected you, the reserved one, to be this kind of person!"
Wearing a restraint suit even for a fight!
And your outfit is so eye-searing!
Stelle and March 7th felt they were under friendly fire from mental attacks, almost unable to recover.
There's a traitor attacking teammates, help!
Sensing their strange gazes, Dan Heng frowned and asked:
"Why are you looking at... me like that?"
As he spoke, Dan Heng slightly lowered his head, saw his current attire, and his face instantly turned as dark as a pot bottom.
This was his first time wearing a spirit's raiment, completely unaware it was this style!
If he had known, he would have rather died than put it on, really... Dan Heng's expression darkened as he tightened his grip on cloud-piercer and the Hurricane Knight, firing a shot at the Creation Engine.
cloud-piercer, shot by the Hurricane Knight, carried a violent hurricane and transformed into a cyan dragon.
The dragon opened its large mouth and charged at the Creation Engine's chest, forcing it to stagger back a few steps.
After the attack succeeded, Dan Heng's eyes flashed with a cold light as he glanced at Stelle and March 7th, his voice like Frost:
"March, Stelle, stop daydreaming. Deal with the battle first."
This was absolutely the first and last time he would wear the raiment; never again.
He would rather use the Dragon Lord's power than touch this damned raiment again!
"Yes...!" x2
Stelle and March 7th, frightened by Dan Heng's icy, murderous gaze, stood with their hair on end, hugged each other, and responded loudly.
They felt that if they dared tell anyone about this, they might not see the sun the next day.
The two assumed combat stances, but due to Dan Heng's precedent, they were hesitant to summon their own raiments.
They were truly afraid of social death. Even though there were no outsiders here, being seen by their own people was embarrassing too.
Look at Dan Heng—now he probably wants to go dark and pierce through this entire planet.
"scorching ruin ghost, cannon form! Six Phases of Ice attachment, ice-fire dual-phase form."
The double-headed axe in March 7th's hands instantly transformed into a handheld cannon-like form, then colorful Six Phases of Ice patterns attached to the cannon body.
Due to the properties of the Six Phases of Ice, the scorching ruin ghost perfectly integrated the opposing ice elemental energy.
Stelle stomped her foot, and a massive throne rose behind her.
"Final Bat!"
The throne behind her collapsed with a loud crash at Stelle's light shout, turning into countless fragments that attached to the bat, making it as huge as a club in a troll's hands.
Stelle held the giant bat with both hands, coated its surface with destructive energy, and faced the Creation Engine in a home-run stance.
And behind Stelle... an the fully deployed obliteration lay quietly on the snow, ignored.
the fully deployed obliteration: So you'd use a broken bat instead of powerful me? Master!!! QAQ
The massive Creation Engine was somewhat clumsy; even with the Stellaron as an energy source, this couldn't be changed.
But its explosive power had been greatly enhanced.
"Bone-Chilling Frost"
The Creation Engine raised its arms high, and a special energy swept through the entire Pillars of Creation valley, even affecting the snowy plains outside the city outskirts.
Snow and ice poured down with a bone-chilling cold wind. The temperature here plummeted, freezing many people in place.
Fortunately, with Kiana's protection, they could revive after freezing to death.
But their progress in clearing Divergent Creations slowed significantly, even letting many slip past into the Pillars of Creation.
Kiana, arms crossed, scanned the area, felt there was nothing for her to do, and continued watching the Astral Express Crew trio.
"Such a huge snowstorm, I can barely see the path!"
March 7th held the scorching ruin ghost horizontally in front of her, shouting loudly to Stelle not far away.
Stelle opened one eye to look at March 7th. Seeing the scorching ruin ghost in March's hands, she suddenly remembered the other's ability.
"March! Use your flames!"
"Ah...!"
Reminded by Stelle, March 7th had a sudden realization, then activated the spirit crystal, greatly utilizing the spirit's power.
Centered on March 7th and spreading to half the valley, the temperature instantly rose. Although the wind still blew, all the snow and ice had melted.
Seeing this, Dan Heng gritted his teeth and also fully activated the spirit crystal.
"Stop!"
Dan Heng shouted low, and the storm created by the Stellaron instantly fell silent.
A glint flashed in Stelle's eyes. Holding the giant bat with both hands, she leaped up and smashed it down hard on the Creation Engine's head, which resembled a Silvermane Guards design.
Bang—
Before Stelle's attack landed, the Creation Engine's left arm swung directly at her, forcing her to redirect her attack to the arm to neutralize it.
The destructive energy temporarily paralyzed the Creation Engine's arm.
But before the paralysis, ice crystals on the Creation Engine's left arm shot countless needle-like ice pillars straight at Stelle.
Due to the impact's inertia, Stelle, flying backward, couldn't assume a defensive posture and could only watch wide-eyed as the huge ice needles sped toward her.
Suddenly, a fiery tornado brushed past her side, swallowing and melting those ice needles, allowing Stelle to avoid this crisis.
