Chapter 29: The Head-Tilt Death
"That's right, not bad at all!" At this moment, Phantylia looked at her own introduction on the inventory livestream and nodded with satisfaction.
"Mmph! MMPH—!" Nearby, Tingyun looked at Phantylia before her, her face filled with uncontrollable terror.
"Little foxian, don't worry. Just bear with it. I'll be gentle; it won't hurt much!" Looking at Tingyun, Phantylia gave a small smile and then suddenly dove into her forehead.
As Phantylia entered, Tingyun's eyes gradually became vacant, her entire being looking as if she had been broken.
Once Phantylia had fully entered, Tingyun's head snapped down, as if she had lost consciousness.
"Not bad!" Shortly after, Tingyun slowly raised her head, a seductive smile playing on her lips.
"Next, it's time to let the people of the Xianzhou feel the pain!" Flames erupted across Tingyun's body, burning through the ropes binding her. She then walked out of the room.
…
"Phantylia had been lurking on the Luofu for a long time. She brought a Stellaron onto the ship, triggering chaos across the Xianzhou."
"Furthermore, she set her sights on the miracle of Abundance—the Ambrosial Arbor. Working with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, she awakened the long-dormant Arbor!"
"Later, after the total defeat of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, Phantylia, who originally hadn't planned to reveal herself, was forced to take action. She used the Ambrosial Arbor's Blackroots to fashion a body she deemed perfect and engaged in a fierce battle with General Jing Yuan of the Luofu and the Nameless from the Astral Express. Later, with the help of the Xianzhou fugitive—Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae—General Jing Yuan and the Nameless finally defeated Phantylia, resolving the crisis on the Xianzhou."
…
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Phantylia: Impossible, absolutely impossible! I am a Lord Ravager chosen by Lord Nanook himself. How could I lose to a few pawns? ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Fu Xuan: Audacious Phantylia! You dared to bring a Stellaron onto the Xianzhou and even dared to lay a finger on the Ambrosial Arbor. You are simply seeking your own death. Come to my Xianzhou and confess your crimes immediately! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Yanqing: The Master Diviner is right! Phantylia, hurry to the Xianzhou and surrender. We might even leave your corpse intact! ]
At this moment, the people on the Xianzhou Luofu were all speaking with righteous indignation, declaring their intent to bring the Lord Ravager Phantylia to justice and lock her in the Shackling Prison for interrogation.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Phantylia: If you're so capable, come find me! ]
Phantylia looked with disdain at the Luofu citizens in the livestream claiming they would catch her. If they were so capable, let them try.
However, the inventory livestream likely wouldn't lie. It seemed she would have to think of another way. Though unwilling, Phantylia could only reluctantly prepare a backup plan.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Everyone, there is no need to be so agitated. Didn't the video say? In the end, we defeated Phantylia together with the friends from the Astral Express and protected the Luofu! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Blade: Hmph, Imbibitor Lunae! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Duke Inferno: These Lord Ravagers are quite incompetent, aren't they? To be finished off by a mere few Nameless and a Xianzhou General! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: This Phantylia actually brought a Stellaron onto the ship. Truly despicable to the extreme! ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Raiden Mei: Alright, Kiana, don't be so angry. The video already said that with the help of many friends from other worlds, they eventually protected the Xianzhou. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Furina: To actually defeat a Lord Ravager of Destruction with their own strength… ]
As Furina, who had been pretending to be the Hydro Archon for five hundred years, she was extremely focused on these stories of mortals defying fate. After all, she also bore the responsibility of protecting Fontaine.
[ Genshin Impact - Neuvillette: Lady Furina, what is the matter? Why are you so excited? ]
[ Genshin Impact - Furina: Ah, I… it's nothing! Let us continue the trial! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Lyney: But Lady Furina, are those tears in your eyes? ]
Sitting in the audience below, Lyney noticed a few crystal-like droplets at the corners of Furina's eyes as she sat high on her throne, and he couldn't help but feel puzzled.
[ Genshin Impact - Furina: This is excitement! After all, they defeated a Lord Ravager of Destruction with mortal bodies. ]
Though puzzled, Lyney didn't press further and refocused his gaze on the inventory livestream.
Seeing everyone's attention return to the screen, Furina, sitting on the high platform, breathed a sigh of relief.
…
"Next, we will play a highlight video!"
"The Luofu General's Great Battle Against the Lord Ravager"
[ Honkai: Star Rail - March 7th: Oh oh oh! Is it finally coming? I've been wanting to see how we beat that bad person Phantylia for ages! ]
[ Genshin Impact - Kaedehara Kazuha: To face a Lord Ravager with a mortal body is a commendable feat! ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Qingque: It's not exactly 'mortal bodies,' is it? The General is the Emanator of the Reignbow Arbiter, and I heard this Imbibitor Lunae was our Luofu's previous High Elder—in a sense, an Emanator of Permanence. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Tesla: Are they all Emanators? I really want to study them! ]
On the Astral Express, Welt Yang saw his wife's words and his lips couldn't help but twitch.
…
"Why… why is it like this? Clearly… clearly she said…" At this moment, a shapely, blindfolded female monster floated in mid-air, speaking with a face full of resentment.
The screen gradually went black, but after a few seconds, it lit up again.
It was the same female monster. She lowered her head and spoke hysterically: "The descent of the Arbor… will bring an immortal body… The one who gave us the Stellaron… that's what they said…"
The female monster then looked up at the sky before focusing her gaze on a Foxian standing at the back of the group, saying crazily: "Phantylia… the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have done it… the Lord Ravager should fulfill the promise… Quick! Now!"
"Tsk tsk, why force me to act personally? This goes against my aesthetics of destruction… you pawns." Tingyun spread her hands, speaking with a look of helplessness.
But soon, Tingyun sighed again, placed her hands over her chest, and continued with a smile: "Fine, it seems that to crack the Xianzhou from within, other methods are required…"
Then, with a beaming smile, Tingyun walked step by step toward the female monster, saying: "Alas, what a pity!"
March 7th, Stelle, Welt Yang, and Fu Xuan, who were all present, focused their gazes on Tingyun as she slowly approached the monster. The shock on their faces was plain to see.
"I wanted to observe a while longer…" Tingyun tilted her head toward the Abominations of Abundance. After watching for a moment, she raised a hand. A burst of light erupted from her palm, slowly sweeping across the Abomination before she flicked its forehead.
In the next second, strange golden flames erupted across the bodies of these Abominations.
"Since you have received the gifts of Abundance, you should be able to endure the… blessing of Destruction!" While laughing, Tingyun turned her head back and rested a hand on her chin. With a sharp crack, her head snapped to a ninety-degree angle with her body. This eerie scene instantly stunned everyone in the livestream.
