An attack that can't hit its target is useless, even if it can destroy a star in one hit.
Phoenix relied on its speed to suppress the enemy, becoming stronger and stronger as it fought against a Honkai Beast that was far smaller than a planetary-level one.
Janna realized that from the very beginning of their encounter until now, she had to put away her initial contempt and seriously confront the growing threat within her...
That shouldn't be the case. How could something like this appear in such a dilapidated place? Did I come to the wrong place?
With this question in mind, Janna fought Phoenix for nearly three more hours.
During the three-hour battle, Janna not only did not get closer to Earth, but was instead overwhelmed by Phoenix and pushed back more than 300 kilometers.
Phoenix couldn't fight Janna with her beam saber like they did when they first met, because the latter realized that she would have to fight four at close range, and only by keeping her distance could she have a chance to breathe.
For three hours, all that could be done was Phoenix and Janna exchanging beams of light. The extremely limited "turn-based" combat was a constant barrage of attacks and dodges. The battle had progressed to the point where it was all about wearing down both sides' morale and patience.
Janna's main body can consume perpetual energy, and Phoenix shows no signs of fatigue. The Honkai energy triggered by the explosion of the five Herrscher cores has not yet been exhausted, not to mention the tireless Sirin.
Within the area where the two were fighting, all meteorites were swept away and blasted into cosmic dust by the beam of light, leaving not even a rock that could be called a shelter.
"It took three hours... I wouldn't even need this long to wipe out a civilization on a planet, these mere ants..."
"Jana! It's your cruel arrogance—being suppressed and killed yet still stubbornly arguing—that makes me want to kill you even more!"
"You thieving cat, die!"
Do you want some fried dough sticks?
Janna had heard so many, so many accusations against her, accusing her of arrogance and cruelty. The prelude to civilization's demise was woven from these useless accusations.
But! What was the motivation behind that voice that kept calling me a "fish-stealing cat" at this moment?!
"Who are you?! Show yourself here!!!"
Janna was really being driven crazy. For three hours, the "fish-stealing cat" wouldn't leave her alone, coming and going without responding to her greetings, leaving her to endure one-sided mental harassment.
If Janna could suppress Phoenix, she could ignore it as mere background noise, but currently Phoenix is unstoppable, and Janna's main body is retreating steadily...
“Get out!!!”
The planetary-level Honkai Beast has completely shattered my mentality.
As Janna fled further outward, she angrily swung her body, unable to escape the cries of "stealing cat" even though she was already 10 kilometers away from Phoenix.
Chaos reigned, with meteorites of all sizes scattered throughout the universe being propelled towards Phoenix by Janna's fan.
"It's all in vain!"
A meteorite pile with a minimum radius of only 30 meters and a maximum radius of over 800 meters hurtled towards Phoenix. As the DE armor returned to its original position on his arms, Phoenix once again unleashed the "beam saber" technique he had used before.
"Annihilate them all!"
The top of the armored DE emitted beams of light thousands of meters long, which maintained its sword-shaped form under the influence of the I force field. Phoenix wielded these two thousand-meter-long arm swords, haphazardly slashing at the evaporating meteorite pile!
When the I-field comes into contact with a solid surface, it is interrupted, and the plasma inside will directly contact the solid and cause damage until the I-field recovers or the plasma is used up.
This is why beam sabers can cut through solids like swords. The large beam sabers formed by the DE armor are the same. After a series of silent explosions, Phoenix peeled away the massive smoke and saw Janna's true form standing motionless in the air once again.
Janna appeared in human form in front of her main body, looking at Phoenix with a gritted-teeth expression.
"Explain yourself! I'm not some philanderer; I'm looking for something that will only ever end!"
"You look like a philanderer dressed like that!"
What kind of spirit is this, so stubborn?
Janna's mind raced, and she was about to retort when she suddenly sensed a disturbance in the real world behind her. In the next instant, a pinkish-white tentacle extended and bound Janna's body with an overwhelming force from which she could not break free.
With just one glance back, Janna could understand the other's presence:
"The ruler of the Quantum Sea within the Solar System."
Fear arose spontaneously, but the next moment, Phoenix's armed DE armor arrived and immediately blasted away the tentacle that was trying to invade the world.
Then, Zhao Si inside the machine announced:
"Whether it's Gana or the so-called Sa, I want them all—"
"Fight!"
Chapter 53: One Death, One Escape, One Seal (End of the Collapse Scroll)
The tubes inserted into his back were forcibly removed, and the agent of the Saga awoke from his deep sleep.
Then she returned to Frost, a place on the edge of the solar system, which was just an ordinary, sunny day.
Then, Vita witnessed with her own eyes the existence of a Honkai Beast far surpassing anything she had ever seen before—a planetary Honkai Beast—crossing the Honkai energy tidal zone.
No, it shouldn't be said that I broke through, but rather that someone let me in.
"A cocoon? But what's the point?"
Vita didn't understand. She could figure out what her boss was thinking, but she couldn't guess what Cocoon was thinking.
Just as the last habitable planet was "embracing" life, they released a Honkai Beast capable of destroying the planet. Was there a lack of patience?
Fortunately, the stingray-shaped Honkai Beast ignored Fros below and continued to move forward.
The opportunity is here.
Vita, who was on vacation back in Forlos, immediately contacted her boss:
"So, a planetary-level Honkai Beast has entered the solar system. If we can capture it, we might be able to find out how it crossed the Honkai energy tidal zone and came into the solar system."
"At that time, we might be able to obtain the power to break the cocoon from outside the solar system... who knows?"
Vita was tempted, but she herself did not act on it.
She didn't even dare to drive the Starferry across. At this time, the Starferry was merely a means of transportation in the Quantum Sea, and could only rely on hand-to-hand combat against the planetary-level Honkai Beasts.
Hiss, it will be torn to pieces and chewed up in no time. Vita saw with her own eyes that the 4,000-kilometer-long "ray" sucked away the 100-meter-long asteroid that was blocking it.
As for Vita herself, she only has the constitution of an ordinary person (in her own opinion), so she might as well stay in Flores to protect herself.
She had considered using the opportunity to extract power from Sa, under the pretext of personally capturing planetary-level Honkai Beasts, but she quickly dismissed the idea.
Even if you escape from Sa's grasp, what then? You are still a prisoner within the solar system, still living in the shadow of the cocoon of the end.
It would be better to wait until Sa catches him and figure out what's going on. Anyway, once Sa drags this big guy into the Sea of Quanta, he won't be able to escape.
"Come on, Lord So! Whether we can escape to the outside world and get away from the Cocoon of the End depends entirely on you."
Vita boarded the Starferry and, with the help of its built-in detection system, locked onto the departing planetary Honkai Beast through quantum entanglement, achieving extremely low latency in transmitting the footage.
Then, Vita didn't see Sa make a move to capture this planetary-level Honkai Beast.
"Tsk, just as cautious as me, uh, I should say 'my' true nature."
The closer it gets to Earth, the closer it gets to the Cocoon of the End, the more difficult it becomes to make a move. Fortunately, this planetary Honkai Beast hasn't even entered the Kuiper Belt yet, so there's still a chance.
"Whom is Suo waiting for?"
Vita knew that the world seen through So's eyes was very different from her own as a mortal. Sometimes when she encountered a difficult world bubble at work, she would ask to borrow So's powers. It could be said that it was a completely different world.
Perhaps Sa saw more than he did?
With this in mind, Vita remained among the Starferrymen, keeping a watchful eye on the planetary-level Honkai Beast from a distance of thousands of astronomical units. The beast's subsequent encounter confirmed Vita's suspicions:
"Wow, what a tiny golden machine, much smaller than the Starferryman. But instead of showing fear, it's facing that planetary Honkai Beast head-on?"
"A planetary-level Honkai Beast has actually shrunk in size? If Su learns this trick, wouldn't she be able to come to the mortal world at will? Will I be able to leave work then?"
"This golden mecha has such a cautious fighting style, it's making me want to doze off. Why can't it fight more aggressively like the planetary Honkai Beast on the other side?"
"The planetary-level Honkai Beast is actually retreating on its way back? This miniature machine is surprisingly fierce, but the fight was still too boring..."
"Alas! So finally couldn't resist and made a move to capture that planetary-level Honkai Beast. Huh? The golden one actually attacked So as well. I thought it would consider So as one of its teammates."
"But that's what makes it less boring! Let's fight! I want to see rivers of blood!"
Vita was engrossed in watching, her hands never stopping as the Starferrymen began to leap to the three-way battleground under her control.
If you stay far away and observe from 0.1 astronomical units away, you won't have to worry about being affected.
Vita refused to believe that anyone could notice her traveling 1.5 million kilometers to watch a play.
"Let me see what's going on now. So has directly summoned the Quantum Honkai Beast. Wow, what a thrilling three-way melee."
Vita, for the time being, supports her master, So, while personally supporting the golden machine that emits blue light.
"It can only be a product of Earth's civilization, after all, this is the only life-bearing planet left in the entire solar system. Speaking of which, being able to travel all the way to the Kuiper Belt and having the ability to suppress planetary Honkai Beasts, the Cocoon of the End is indeed about to destroy the last civilization. It's really pitiful."
The battle continues, and the Quantum Honkai Beast Frenzy has even brought out all sorts of collected alien Honkai Beasts. After hundreds of millions of years of accumulation, its inventory is unimaginably vast.
"What if, and I mean what if, what if Sa fails? That shouldn't be the case. If He exposes His true form to Cocoon and still can't catch the planetary Honkai Beast He wants, wouldn't He be so angry that he'd cry and make a scene?"
The moment Vita had this thought, So, 0.1 astronomical units away, sent her a task:
"If you cannot take it, come quickly, and the power will be yours."
The bloated body was unable to rise from the sea, so the agent stepped in to perform his duties.
Vita's earlier decision to give up has now, by a twist of fate, fulfilled the prerequisite.
She controlled the Starflider and immediately began warping, striving to reach the scene as quickly as possible, but the bloodthirsty audience...
"Yes, my master!"
As long as I can obtain the power to refuse the gaze of the Cocoon, I can hide in the territory that the Cocoon is watching and be free for as long as I can. If I live long enough, I can find an opportunity to kill the Cocoon.
"If living longer equals becoming stronger, then there's something to say about the thousand-year-old tortoise!"
Zhao Si witnessed for the first time what a true Honkai Beast Tide was like—
In this universe devoid of air and sound, the entire cockpit is occupied by the charge of tens of thousands of quantum Honkai Beasts.
The creature was merely a tentacle extended from the Sea of Quanta, and the kilometer-wide rift in the present world that it pierced became the passage for these quantum Honkai beasts to march through.
