I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming grasped this point and planned to cultivate goodwill with Ziwei Star, after all, he was a ranked being! Who wouldn't want that?!

And he's so good-looking, it's totally my thing!

Ziweixing snapped out of her daze and asked, "Name... what's your name?"

"My name is Yan Zimo."

"Then what should I be called?"

"Uh... is that a direct question...?" Yan Ziming was taken aback; she hadn't yet decided on a name for Ziweixing.

A name is about matching one's image and what kind of hopes one has for the person who chose it.

Yan Ziming thought for a while, starting from her first impression of Ziwei Star, and slowly said, "How about this? Star, in other words, refers to the dawn. We'll take the character 'Xi' (曦), which is a homophone for 'Xi' (希), meaning hope. How about we call you Xixi (希曦)?"

“Xi Xi… Hmm… Not bad…” Zi Weixing seemed quite satisfied with the name, a blush appearing on her face.

"Then it's decided, Xixi."

After the name was officially decided, Yan Zimo was the first to call it out.

It was like a bullet hitting Xi's heart, leaving her stunned for several seconds. This scene made Yan Ziming's heart flutter with joy.

In this way, even if it's a success, and even if you don't win her over immediately, you'll at least gain a lot of goodwill.

As a Thunder Spirit, I already have a head start in this regard, right?

But something still feels a bit off...

Yan Ziming thought to herself, though she didn't know if it was just her personal opinion or something else.

There's nothing wrong with the name itself, it's just a bit awkward to pronounce and sounds strange.

Yan Ziming looked Xi Xi up and down again, and when his gaze swept over the dark circles under Xi Xi's eyes, he was shocked!

Her current appearance... actually seems quite suitable for the 'cute and weak' attribute...

"How about I add a prefix when I call you by your name?" Yan Ziming suggested.

"Prefix?" Xi Xi tilted her head.

"Hmm, the prefix is ​​'useless cute'... 'useless cute'... it's not good to just call her 'useless cute Xi'... let's just call her 'wasteful Xi'."

His white teeth are so adorable, I can't stop loving them.

Yan Ziming was too focused on transforming Ziwei Star... no, Xixi... no, the useless Xixi. He invested too much energy in it, making several adjustments to everything from her appearance to her name.

"Useless Xi...? Well, it's not impossible if you're willing..."

Xi... seemingly indifferent to the term "waste," she readily accepted this prefix that ordinary people would not accept, and she didn't seem to understand the meaning of the word "waste."

Having finished discussing the past, Yan Ziming needed to get down to business, as that was the most important thing. He asked the useless Xi:

"Oh right, what did you say you wanted me to do to help you? In the way I think is most appropriate?"

"It's already working."

"Uh?"

“From the moment you touched me.” Waste Xi added another sentence. Yan Zimo roughly understood. So the other party still wanted to rely on her control over the lightning element?

Seriously, I didn't even need to lift a finger? How can you say that!

This isn't some kind of spiritual world, is it? It should really exist; elementalization can be used normally here...

The next instant, the surrounding sea of ​​lightning boiled over, as if it had encountered a true ruler. It cheered and jumped for joy, as if it had come to life. The chaotic lightning transformed into all sorts of strange shapes, and countless bolts of lightning intertwined and converged into streams of lightning. Even without experiencing its full-blown explosion, one could understand its terror.

Waste Xi looked on with a look of respect. As expected of an elemental spirit, he easily accomplished something that she herself could not do.

However, despite this, although Yan Ziming's combat power was already comparable to when he activated elemental transformation in the environment created by the useless Xi, his combat power did not increase much after activating elemental transformation again. He encountered a bottleneck and could not increase it no matter what.

However, Yan Ziming was already immersed in her own world. She felt that when she activated her elemental transformation, there were no thunderclouds in the sky. Instead, the lightning in the surrounding area was several times more intense, as if an active volcano underground was experiencing an unprecedented eruption, with lava overflowing onto the surface.

On the other hand, the experience of seeing the aurora was not so good.

It had already fallen behind due to the pressure from Liu Mengxian, losing many of its previous advantages, but overall it still had the upper hand and had stabilized the situation, resulting in a stalemate.

But now, it is under nearly two or three times the pressure and is completely suppressed. If this continues for a long time, it will surely be defeated.

72. Their respective struggles

As a Rank 1 aircraft carrier, how could Aurora sit idly by and wait for its demise?

boom!

The ground rises upwards, forming a hill, from which a thick branch emerges, its entirety hidden from view. Thousands of branches hang down, obscuring the sky and stirring up the wind and clouds.

This is the full view of the aurora. Its body resembles a giant ancient tree. Unlike other sequence classes, it moves at an unusually slow speed. However, its ranged attacks are far more powerful than those of other sequence classes. It can launch a devastating attack on a city from tens of millions of meters away.

It was like that back then; even before the army discovered it, it shot out countless beams of light, completely destroying a city, turning it into a sea of ​​fire, more terrifying than hell.

"Aurora has made a move!"

Yan Ziming called out warily, not daring to be negligent. Her eyes blazed with light, and she exuded an aura of looking down on all living beings. Her sharp gaze seemed to have a tangible quality, obliterating everything tangible and substantial in front of her.

The opponent was a Sequence-level opponent, so Yan Ziming dared not be careless. She used all her skills and was more focused than she had ever been, even when she faced a life-or-death crisis.

One mistake, and it's death.

The body of the useless Xi returned to a hazy state, like a purple sun illuminating countless mountains and rivers, before returning to Yan Zimo's body like a dreamlike flower.

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!!!"

His body seemed to rise into the sky, as if he had truly broken through that barrier. Yan Zimo felt as if he had become ethereal and otherworldly. The feeling that he could shatter the heavens and the earth with a wave of his hand finally became real, no longer an illusion. He was more powerful than ever before!

This is? !

"Everything here is entrusted to you."

"Hey, hey?! And what about you? Aren't you going to help at all?"

Yan Ziming was more alarmed than pleased. Even if she possessed such divine power, she still had no foundation at all. It would be bad if she made any mistakes!

"After seeing what happened just now, I think it's better to hand over all the control to you. The source of lightning in this land can be controlled by you through the medium I provide."

"Hey? You should be able to come up with more tricks than me, right? How come you handed over the reins to me?!"

"Because I don't know how..."

Waste Xi casually stated a fact that made Yan Zimo want to curse.

Damn it! What does that mean? You're a rank-one character! How could you not even be able to come up with a single trick?

My own skills are merely immature products, not yet fully developed. Those at the ninth rank or even the sequence level are truly masterful, possessing unparalleled abilities to simplify complexity and complicate things.

Even if the useless Xi is not as good as those ninth-ranked people, she can't be worse than herself, right?

It wasn't that Yan Ziming was belittling herself; it was just that the abilities possessed by the seemingly useless Xi were far below the standard of her actual strength.

Could it really be true that it lives up to the prefix "useless"...?

"How did you fight against the aurora before...?"

"instinct."

Yan Zimo was ashamed.

Yan Ziming guessed that there was a 90% chance that the "instinct" that Fei Xi mentioned here referred to was simply fighting with "quantity." It's the same principle as a great mage who has a wide variety of skills but insists on rolling up his sleeves and boxing with someone.

"It's amazing that you've managed to hold your own against the aurora until now," Yan Ziming exclaimed.

Aurora is a veteran Rank 3 class. Although the abilities of Rank 3 classes lie in their powerful physical attributes, Aurora is an exception and has unique insights into this area.

Given that they are both at the same sequence level, one can only throw random punches while the other is a martial arts master, it's a miracle that the useless Xi has managed to survive this long.

"I've only been conscious for a short time, how could I possibly use such powerful methods as you? If you hadn't come, I would have been defeated in a month at most."

Uh, damn it, that makes so much sense I can't even argue with it!

Yan Ziming secretly clenched her fist. Now that things had come to this, since the useless Xi couldn't help, she could only rely on herself. Besides, it wasn't that the useless Xi hadn't helped at all; her extraordinary combat power was proof of that.

What level of power is this? Ninth rank? Sequence level? Yan Ziming didn't know, because she had never experienced it before.

All she knew was that with her current fighting power, she could easily kill hundreds of her past selves!

Even though she was not as good as Aurora in terms of "skill", she was better in terms of "quality". In the overall evaluation, she still had the upper hand.

From the outside, the light here suddenly became nearly a hundred times brighter, with crisscrossing lightning and distorted light everywhere. Beneath the seemingly beautiful exterior, anyone could sense the terror hidden within.

Enough to kill any life!

At the same time, countless rays of light burst forth from the aurora's crystal, curving and shooting from countless angles.

Chi chi chi......

The air was completely boiled, and reddish liquid could be seen dripping from it with the naked eye, which was terrifying. The aurora's achievements in this area are truly unparalleled.

Yan Ziming's heart leaped into her throat, but she was no pushover. Lightning crackled across the sky, and countless lightning whips erupted from the ground. The massive energy field forcibly distorted the rays, causing them to deflect. Then, the lightning whips flew swiftly, wrapping around the aurora's main body.

hum-

The lightning whip shattered in an instant, and the nuclear radiation around Aurora surged rapidly, distorting space and almost reversing time and space. Terrifying streams of light shot out from its body, and its huge body was shrouded in a mysterious and eerie mist, blurring its figure.

Yan Ziming was horrified to discover that the other party was truly affecting spacetime! The nuclear radiation around the aurora had reached an unbelievable level, perhaps even surpassing the concentration of technology that humanity was so proud of!

Such a powerful energy field can completely influence some "concepts" that cannot be interfered with by normal means.
