A journey into an infinite dimension

Chapter 76: Battle!

Ding----

The spear tips, which were so tiny that they were almost a point, stabbed each other heavily. Emerald green and pitch-black light burst out at the same time. A strong gust of wind forced the two gunmen back several steps. Then, before they could stand firm, their figures suddenly disappeared from the spot, and then an even more powerful force collided with each other.

Cecilia touched the ground with the tip of her gun, and as she ran forward, a long streak of light was dragged out by her. Then, countless thick tree roots broke out of the ground, stretching out their sharp ends like giant pythons and rushing towards Kaguya.

The incarnation of Black Abyss on her right hand flashed with black light, and the dark smoke of death filled her surroundings. Kaguya threw the incarnation of White Flower on her left hand towards the direction where the tree roots were coming from. At the same time, the black mist wrapped around the incarnation of White Flower, and quickly formed a plastic shadow on the surface of the incarnation of White Flower with the same shape but larger in size, which collided with the tree roots.

The black fog that brought death collided with the attack generated by the huge vitality, just like the collision of water and fire. The two forces that gave birth to but restrained each other made a "hissing" sound like something being corroded the moment they touched each other, and then in just a moment they canceled each other out and dissipated in the air.

The incarnation, Baihua, also fell down due to the loss of kinetic energy, and was caught in the hand of a swift figure just before landing. It was reunited with the other half of its body, and under the control of the user's hands, it cut through the air and swept across to deflect the attack of the original product.

"Incarnation·Black Abyss White Flower·Third Rated Power Deployment, -Life Blooms, Death Falls-"

A soft chanting sounded, and in Cecilia's surprised eyes, a ray of green light quietly enveloped Kaguya's body. Then, in Kaguya's eyes, everything within her sight seemed to slow down, and in the outside world, her sprint speed suddenly increased. At the same time, bursts of sonic booms also exploded from the trajectory of the incarnation of the Black Abyss White Flower. At this moment, the entire incarnation of the Black Abyss White Flower was almost comparable to a supersonic fighter flying at full power. The light purple tip of the gun passed through the defense range in the blink of an eye and pierced directly in front of Cecilia.

Black Abyss White Flower · Fifth Rated Power Development, -Reincarnation-

Her pupils shrank slightly, and Cecilia quietly grasped the Black Abyss White Flower. Then, a huge green barrier that seemed to be real suddenly opened in front of her. Its shape was like a blooming flower, just like the Shaniyat family emblem engraved on Cecilia's Black Abyss White Flower.

Pong!

The spear and the shield collided in an instant, and a huge wave of impact swept through the tree platform under the feet of the two men, cutting a round hole in the hard platform. However, the two men in the center of the hole did not move at all. One of them maintained the stabbing action, and the other raised the lance in his hand from a tricky angle.

The incarnation of Black Abyss and White Flower was split apart again. The Black Abyss Spear maintained the stabbing action, while the White Flower Lance collided heavily with the Black Abyss and White Flower from top to bottom.

Dang! !

The sound of metal clashing was accompanied by bright sparks, and then Kaguya suddenly lowered her body, and a slender leg whizzed past her head like a whip, with bursts of breaking through the air.

Second hit.

In an instant, relying on the eyesight honed from years of leisurely martial arts training, Kaguya discovered Cecilia's move. She retracted her incarnation, Black Abyss, and quickly jumped away from the spot using the end of her body to support the ground.

As expected, the jade leg that had just brushed past Kaguya's head suddenly swung down without stopping. If Kaguya was still in the same place, she would inevitably be hit on the head by this heavy blow.

Once again strengthening her body with vitality, two spears of different types began to spin rapidly in Kaguya's hands, and then suddenly flew out of her hands, respectively enveloped in a green and black light.

Bathed in two colors of light, it turned into two halos while spinning, and simultaneously attacked Cecilia, who had just retracted her feet, from both sides as if drawing a circle. Then, just when her eyes were attracted by the two halos for a moment, Kaguya's figure suddenly turned into an afterimage and disappeared on the spot.

Having also discovered this, Cecilia was not confused at all. Instead, the smile on her face became even brighter and more charming.

Through the short fight just now, she has basically confirmed that the opponent's skills are not inferior to hers. She has not met an opponent who can match her for a long time.

Moreover, the opponent used the same weapon as her, which made her blood boil with excitement after a long time.

Because the same weapon means being able to absorb and comprehend the opponent's experience in battle, and then use it for one's own benefit to strengthen oneself. Although Cecilia is not keen on gaining powerful strength, she still has a little interest in fighting.

At this moment, Cecilia had truly forgotten that her opponent was an unidentified person who was suspected to be a Herrscher. In her heart, she had already placed Kaguya in the position of an equal opponent.

Therefore, in order to show her respect for Kaguya, Cecilia decided to show her true strength and try her best to defeat her!

The Key of God is a weapon that can exert different powers depending on who uses it. Although the most fundamental power, that is, the ability of the Herrscher core used to create the Key of God, does not change, the same ability can be developed into different applications in the hands of different people.

In simple terms, even if they are both Black Abyss White Flowers, their usage modes — 'rated power' — will be different, even if they can release 'zero rated power' that is comparable to a Herrscher's full-strength attack.

In addition to the rated power, the Key of God also has an ability called "Limit Breaking".

The material that constitutes the Key of God, in addition to the Herrscher Core as the cornerstone, also includes a material called 'Soul Steel'.

Soul Steel, a block of metal composed of billions of nanorobots, has an extremely good effect of isolating Honkai energy. When corroded by Honkai energy, the nanorobots can automatically repair themselves through reconstruction. In addition, due to the ability of nanorobots to reconstruct freely, the Key of God composed of them theoretically has the ability to deform freely.

However, almost all users of the Divine Key will not use this transformation ability, because it requires the consent of the consciousness within the Divine Key, and cannot enhance any ability, except for Divine Keys like the Judgment of Heavenly Fire and the Seven Thunders of Purification that can release true power by changing form.

However, if the user has some skills that he is good at, this ability to transform can be effective.

After all, there will always be a difference in combat effectiveness between weapons you are good at and weapons you are not good at.

"Black Abyss White Flower·First Limit·Turn."

Ignoring the two incoming halos, Cecilia gently closed her eyes, and then as her chanting began to softly begin, the Black Abyss White Flower in her hand seemed to have no changes on the surface, but the sudden lengthening of the White Flower's spear body showed that it was not completely unchanged.

when!when!

Two sounds rang out almost simultaneously. In Cecilia's hand, the tip of the Black Abyss and White Flower, which had originally been pointing at the ground, had changed into a sweeping posture. At the same time, the incarnations of Black Abyss and White Flower spun in mid-air and pierced into the platform under her feet.

"Just by changing the length of the weapon, the combat effectiveness has increased by more than one level?"

Kaguya quickly dodged and retreated, gently touching the tip of her nose where a small red mark was gradually appearing, and a hint of fighting spirit ignited in her originally calm eyes.

Then she stretched out her hand, and the incarnations Baihua and Heiyuan, which were inserted upside down on the giant wooden platform, slowly broke away from the platform, turned into two lightning bolts and came to her open palm, and quietly spliced ​​together.

"After all, before I got the Black Abyss White Flower, I had always used imitations for practice, so slight deviations in length and other aspects were inevitable."

Cecilia smiled slightly and explained softly.

"Normally, this child doesn't like to change forms at will. She only cooperates with my willfulness when facing a strong enemy."

Buzz buzz buzz——

Upon hearing this, Heiyuan Baihua immediately let out bursts of gunfire, as if complaining that Cecilia had actually spoken ill of her in front of outsiders.

"Honored."

The incarnation of the Black Abyss White Flower was held by Kaguya in her backhand, and then she gently made a gesture as if she was 'harvesting'.

"Then I will do my best to respond to Ms. Cecilia's evaluation of me."

As the words fell, the pitch-black and emerald green light suddenly increased, and then slowly merged into a single dark green light. Then, the incarnation of the Black Abyss White Flower was bathed in this ominous color and slowly melted into a silver, nearly solid liquid and a round crystal without any color.

Then, with this crystal as the center, the liquid soul steel began to reshape and solidify, and finally in Kaguya's hand it turned into a black and white sickle with a hideous and strange shape, but faintly revealing a hint of elegance and tranquility.

-Incarnation·Black Abyss White Flower·Root Limit·Break-

The incarnation of the Black Abyss White Flower in this form no longer possesses the ability to create, because "life" and "death" are two twin and opposite forces. Therefore, under Kaguya's control, all "life" has become an equal amount of "death". This is something that the original Black Abyss White Flower with its own consciousness cannot do, because the command written deep in its core by the creator will not allow it to do so.

If the Black Abyss White Flower in lance form is the 'Key of Creation' that combines the abilities of creation and decomposition, then this form of Black Abyss White Flower is the 'Key of Apoptosis' that embodies the ultimate death.

"Guh, a mere imposter..."

The unwilling voice of Heiyuan Baihua sounded in Cecilia's mind, and at the same time, she also received the information about the abilities that Heiyuan Baihua would possess in this form.

"It's okay, this form is too lethal and not suitable for me."

Cecilia softly comforted Heiyuan Baihua.

"Even though that's the case, it still makes me feel really bad when I see a fake person do something I can't do."

"Then let's defeat them to prove that you are the real one."

Cecilia said with a smile, pointing the black abyss and white flower directly at Kaguya.

"Then go ahead."

In the blink of an eye, the two figures disappeared again, and then the sound of weapons clashing began to echo in the air.

Chapter 77 Xilin: Don’t be a barrier!

"go to hell!"

On the other side, Xilin, who had already reunited with Bella and was facing Siegfried, Theresa and Fu Hua who had also reunited, was not at a disadvantage at all.

Pale giant hands stretched out from the void like a swarm of demons, each of which was wrapped in a dark smoke of death. Facing these attacks that would cause serious injuries upon contact, Siegfried and the other two could only jump and dodge repeatedly on the chains extended by Judas.

Because Kaguya increased the gravity to the level of the earth's gravity, it was impossible for them to continue floating in space. However, there was gravity but no landing point, and none of the three could fly. Therefore, if they did not take any countermeasures, they would be directly pressed out of the range covered by the gravity. At that time, it would take a lot of effort to come back, and there was also the possibility of being defeated one by one.

"Damn it! I can't fight with my hands and feet tied up!"

Holding the Skyfire Greatsword and cutting off an imaginary hand that stretched out in front of him, Siegfried wanted to use the chains under his feet to gain momentum and rush towards Xilin. However, because he was not familiar with the environment where the chains were shaking, he stepped on empty air and almost fell. Fortunately, the chain tied around his waist pulled him at the critical moment to avoid this embarrassing situation.

The reason why the chains were shaking was not because Theresa was manipulating them randomly, but because the targets of the Hand of Imaginary Numbers were not only them, but also the chains themselves and the Oath of Judas. The Oath of Judas was now carried on Theresa's back, and naturally it would shake as she moved. The combination of the two created the current situation.

Among the three, only Fu Hua, who is highly skilled in martial arts, can move freely as if covering the ground. However, there are too many imaginary hands, and it is difficult for her to get close to Xilin's body. Therefore, in this situation, Bella doesn't even need to take action. Xilin alone is enough to deal with the three of them at the same time.

"Annoying ants."

With a dissatisfied pout on her lips and sitting in the air with her legs crossed, Xilin, who had no intention of continuing the game, gently pointed at Theresa.

"Varied---?!"

A huge spatial force began to gather. Theresa, who was jumping on the chains to avoid the hand of imaginary numbers, suddenly felt her body sink. She realized that the movement of her body had become extremely difficult, and her face suddenly changed.

Snapped!

However, before she could let Judas pull her away, at the same moment, with a snap of Xilin's fingers, two spears made entirely of withered black mist condensed and formed beside her, and then suddenly turned into two lightning bolts and flew towards Theresa who was unable to move.

"Theresa!!"

Siegfried's pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately wanted to give up approaching Xilin and go to rescue Theresa instead. However, as if sensing his thoughts, more imaginary hands extended out from the void around him in advance, blocking all his paths.

"Damn it, don't get in the way!"

A ray of fire burst out from the Skyfire Greatsword. In order to save Theresa, Siegfried almost subconsciously wanted to release some of the power of the Skyfire Holy Judge at the cost of being seriously injured. Then he would be able to burn all these annoying ghost hands at once and save Theresa before the fatal attack hit her.

Although doing so would cause him to be corroded by the collapse energy of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, thus causing serious damage to his body, at least he would not die. Moreover, human life was at stake, so instead of thinking about these things, it would be better to go and save people quickly.

But just as he was about to take action, someone moved faster than him.

"Cun Jin·Thunderbolt!"

Fu Hua appeared in front of Theresa, and the "qi" in her hand, which had almost condensed into substance, was suddenly released. The moment it made contact, it blew away the two black mist spears, just like ordinary smoke meeting ordinary wind.

"what?"

A look of surprise appeared on her face. Xilin had not expected that Fu Hua could actually break through the interception of the Hand of Illusionary Numbers and rescue Theresa before her attack landed.

At the same time, she did not notice that a red feather that appeared out of nowhere was quietly falling from the edge of her vision. Then, in her eyes, Fu Hua, who was no longer wearing a bulky space suit, but had changed into a strange outfit, suddenly appeared in front of her and then punched out.

"Your strength suddenly increased? But it's useless☆"

If she had never met Kaguya, the first thing Sirin would have done the moment she reacted would have been to open the almost omnipotent imaginary barrier to block the attack, because in her understanding, human attacks would never be able to penetrate the Herrscher's imaginary barrier.

However, since receiving training from Kaguya, Sirin knew that the power of the Imaginary Barrier had its limits. It was only omnipotent, but not almighty, so there would always be some attacks that could break it. Therefore, after being beaten countless times by Kaguya in various non-repetitive ways without using her Herrscher ability, Sirin had completely corrected her character of over-reliance on the Imaginary Barrier.

Xilin: The power of the imaginary barrier has its limits. I learned one thing from my short life.

Xilin: The more I face various plug-ins, the more I realize that the power of the imaginary barrier has its limits.

Imaginary Barrier: Master, what do you want to say?

Xilin: Stop being a barrier.

A light blue translucent imaginary barrier appeared in front of Xilin. Then, under Fu Hua's slightly trembling eyes, countless sharp spikes suddenly protruded from the smooth surface of the imaginary barrier, which was supposed to be a diamond-shaped light curtain. Then it suddenly stretched out and pierced through Fu Hua's figure, which had no place to gain leverage and could not avoid it.

“First of all, the first one——?!”

After confirming Fu Hua's death, Xilin didn't even look at her. However, just as she turned around to get rid of Siegfried and Theresa, Fu Hua, who should have been dead, suddenly raised her head again. Her body was bathed in a sudden burst of flames and turned into an extraordinary giant flaming bird. At the same time, Xilin could also sense the burning and uncomfortable feeling.

"I don't believe you won't die!"

She tapped the ground lightly with her toes and suddenly retreated. The sub-body of the Key of Transformation appeared in Xilin's hand again, and unfolded into the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire in the form of a greatsword, which she then held high up.

"Incarnation·Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment·Zeroth Rated Power Deployment!"

[Second Herrscher core detected, third, fourth, fifth, sixth———energy index exceeds detection limit, following core instructions, Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement: Limit Breakthrough]

Along with the inorganic mechanical sound emitted from the core in the center of the hilt, the incarnation of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire began to change its form while being enveloped in raging flames. The orange-red light like a falling star illuminated all the boundless darkness within hundreds of kilometers. In Xilin's hands, the alien greatsword made its first appearance in this era of civilization.

-Incarnation·Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement·Destruction Form-

However, this was not the end. In less than one thousandth of a microsecond, the flames and light that the incarnation Jiemie was bathing in suddenly began to shrink back rapidly, just like the collapse of a star. All the brilliant colors turned into empty darkness, but the brightness increased instead of decreasing, even reaching the point where just one glance was enough to make a person blind.

The appearance of the Greatsword of Destruction changed once again. The original red spine and orange blade were replaced by the silver-white color of a white dwarf and the chaotic color of a supernova; the Herrscher core embedded in the sword jaw quietly changed from orange-red to pure white; at the same time, the strange hilt with a slight bend at the connection with the sword body also turned into a transparent color, and it seemed as if one could see the gilded magma flowing inside.

Similar to the Black Abyss White Flower, this was a form that the original Heavenly Fire Holy Judge could never display, because it was the manifestation of the Herrscher Core operating to its limit reflected on the Soul Steel, a power that the creators of the Divine Keys would never allow to reappear.

All the information about the Key of God loaded into the Key of Transformation by the Will of Honkai comes from the genuine original. Although its conceptual power cannot be compared with the original due to the limitations of the Key of Transformation itself, it has all the abilities of the original and does not have the limitations of the original.

Therefore, although the quality cannot be compared with the original product, the difference can be offset by the quantity.

For example, if the incarnation of the Skyfire Judgement transformed by the Key of Transformation and the original Skyfire Judgement are used by Siegfried in the same dual-pistol form, then the power that the original can exert must be stronger than the one transformed by the Key of Transformation. This is 'quality'; but if the incarnation of the Skyfire Judgement is in the form of a greatsword, then the power will definitely be stronger than the original dual-pistol form. This is the so-called 'quantity'.

At the same time, the quality of the user can also be regarded as "quantity" to make up for "quality". It becomes stronger when facing a strong opponent and weaker when facing a weak opponent. This is the true power of the Key of Change.

-Calamity and Star Collapse-

When the flaming sword guarding the Garden of Eden burned up the tree of life it was supposed to protect;

When the fire from heaven that burned Sodom consumed the high and mighty YHWH,

All the stars will turn into firewood before the rebirth, bringing down the judgment of burning sin on this world.

"灬"

With a soft chant, Xilin swung down the sword.
