The raging electricity was restrained in Tianqi's palm by his ability, and he hurled it towards Shigure Kira. Wherever the electricity passed, rocks flew up.
The stone floor along their journey was shattered by an electric current, and Shigure Kira sensed something was wrong as she faced the approaching azure arc of electricity.
Oh no, I think I've gotten myself into trouble.
"What were you doing, you idiot, before I arrived, Shigure Kira?"
Just at the critical moment, a few wisps of liquid splashed out and first appeared in front of Shigure Kira, and then more liquid seemed to converge into Nicholas's alien form.
The Emperor raised his decree high, and an invisible energy shield directly caused the lightning to split and slice away from both sides.
"Luckily I arrived in time, but what exactly happened? How did that sword end up in Apocalypse's hands?"
Nicholas was somewhat puzzled, and upon hearing this, Shigure Kira, feeling guilty, tried to remain silent and avoid the topic.
While everyone was engaged in a fierce battle with that formidable war knight, Nicholas, who sensed some movement on the mountaintop, asked himself, as he happened to be the closest to the summit, to check the situation first.
As a result, when he saw that he was about to reach for the scepter, he subconsciously threw the Eternal Sword at Apocalypse with all his might, trying to pierce through his body.
However, the final result was not very good.
"The rulers of this era? No, that's not it."
Just as he was about to say something, Apocalypse frowned, looking at Nicholas as if he understood something. Soon, the God of Mutants continued:
"Sure enough, I sensed something strange about you when you arrived. After a closer look, I realized you are neither human nor a mutant."
"Are you one of the aliens who rule the world in this era? Judging from your ceremonial sword, your status must be quite noble."
Tianqi said with certainty that when the Emperor declared that Qi Mo was made, it was not shaped into a sword as a weapon of war, but rather more inclined to be made for ceremonial purposes, and that the weapon was more like a staff than a sword.
"You humans really do have a paranoia. Why is it that so many people's first reaction is that our Hughes race is going to invade the world?"
Nicholas couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark, and Apocalypse, upon hearing this, replied without hesitation: "Human? I think that's a slander against the long history of mutants."
I am Apocalypse, a god of a mutant race superior to humans!
The dark, cloud-covered sky was now Apocalypse's best support, and the raging thunder, as if venting Apocalypse's anger, was directed towards the temple.
Nicholas, who had been secretly gathering strength, manipulated the Emperor's Declaration to create a frost-snow battle against thunder. The chill in the air seemed to freeze time and space, and the barrier formed by the frost-snow allowed the lightning to strike.
Each hit on the barrier would thin it by a fraction, and Apocalypse had switched to a different ability.
As flames surged, the frost barrier grew weaker, and Nicholas felt a deep sense of unease.
The Emperor's Declaration weakened slightly after leaving the Sacred Domain of Hughes. If the Sacred Domain of Hughes were on its homeland, the Sacred Domain's processor could help quickly change the situation. However, being far away from there, coupled with things like positioning and anchoring in space, meant that the Emperor's Declaration's various mysteries would take time to manifest.
To put it in a more modern way, the Emperor's Declaration within the area covered by the Sacred Domain of Hughes has a no-cooldown mode, while the outside world has a cooldown mode.
"You're not the only one who can manipulate celestial phenomena!"
At this moment, Nicholas had already made up his mind. Just as the flames were about to completely melt the barrier, Nicholas chose to control the lightning.
Honkai Impact 2: Chapter 963: Rosalia: Oh no, Bronya won't lend me her power anymore.
A thunderous roar erupted, and Tianqi's expression turned grim as he faced the incoming azure electric current: "How dare you lay your hands on the authority of the gods!"
Holding the Eternal Sword, the next moment Apocalypse cleaved the lightning with a single strike.
This weapon, forged with the power of ghosts and originally created to prevent Shigure Kira from being killed by Mojas, is naturally quite sturdy.
Fortunately, to avoid killing Mojas with a single sword strike, Qi Mo wasn't made too powerful initially. He was just used as a transitional, basic weapon without much effort being put into developing it. Therefore, the Apocalypse that Shigure Kira is facing now hasn't been absurdly strengthened by this sword.
After the sword split the sea of thunder, Tianqi stretched his right hand towards the sky, attempting to seize the cooperation of nature.
"Alien raiders, today, witness the divine might of Apocalypse!"
The sun and moon were obscured, only thunder flashed, and Nicholas was not to be outdone.
You have superpowers, and I have my technology.
The Emperor's Declaration governs the phenomenon of lightning, and Nicholas and Apocalypse are caught in a tug-of-war at this moment.
At that very moment, a crucial variable arrived on the scene.
The third bolt of lightning struck from outside the arena, and Rosalia, high in the distance, arrived in front of Apocalypse in an instant.
Surrounded by electric currents, Rosalia appeared to outsiders like a bolt of lightning descending from the sky. After sending Apocalypse flying with a single blow, Rosalia, who had come to help, swung her hands around, attempting to unify the remaining electric currents on the scene.
At this moment, at the end of the palace, Tianqi stood up from the pile of stones.
"Hmph, so you actually chose to launch a sneak attack?"
Apocalypse snorted and said this, and Rosalia, upon hearing this, quickly and confidently replied: "There's no need to talk about justice when dealing with a bad guy like you."
After all, she is a boss capable of initiating major events, and her average strength is above average for all Apocalypse characters. Rosalia's sudden attack is not a major blow to Apocalypse.
Apocalypse took a deep breath as he looked at Rosalia in Shazam form, then used his hands to control the electricity and launched a sudden attack, but his mind was elsewhere.
This newcomer is quite powerful, and that alien nobleman is also a problem.
Now, confronting them head-on might not be the right choice.
Meanwhile, Rosalia temporarily held off Apocalypse, and dark green tentacles extended from Nicholas's direction, attempting to take the scepter.
However, Apocalypse was faster than Nicholas.
Suddenly increasing his output, he controlled the lightning and blasted Rosalia away. The moment he pulled the scepter to his face and grasped it, Apocalypse frowned.
Although I had expected it, I didn't expect the results to be so much worse.
The scepter must be linked to the base and travel through the lines in this mountain range to unleash its full power.
"It seems we have to deal with you first."
A hint of killing intent flashed in Apocalypse's eyes, but the human with the flashing dot on his chest was no threat. Although his physical strength was considerable, his combat skills could only be described as tragic.
The real problem is that alien nobleman.
"This guy is really troublesome... But Rosalia is about to get serious!"
At this moment, Rosalia's voice rang out as she was knocked away by Apocalypse's suddenly increased lightning output. Upon hearing this, Apocalypse instinctively became alert.
Is this guy getting serious? Could it be that he had something hidden all along?
"Help me, Bronya!"
The next moment, Rosalia suddenly called out Bronya's name.
Silence is the only word for the palace ruins at this moment.
"Your trump card is calling for help? But given the current situation, no matter how much you scream, no one will come to your aid."
Lightning crackled around the Eternal Sword. Apocalypse was quite satisfied with this weapon of extraordinary hardness. The blue-haired human seemed not to have been recognized by the sword as its true master, but merely a temporary user, at most having a slightly higher affinity with him.
Next, I will show this sword who is truly worthy to wield it.
"Huh? Could it be that Bronya is afraid of having her power used to blacklist Rosalia?"
Rosalia looked somewhat bewildered, unaware that her situation was, in a sense, a case of "the number you dialed is not in service."
"Help me, Mebius!"
At this moment, Rosalia had clearly set her sights on other people. She knew Kiana, and she figured Kiana would definitely be willing to lend her her power.
Unfortunately, at this point, nothing has chosen to respond.
Could it be that there's something wrong with my abilities?
Rosalia, now the new Goddess of Gods, fell into deep thought when Apocalypse's voice suddenly rang out: "Dare to be distracted on the battlefield? You're courting death!"
"Qiluo, could you please keep this sword safe for me for a while?"
On the other hand, Nicholas handed the all-black Necromancer's Sword to Shigure Kira, while he himself gripped the Emperor's Declaration tightly.
The weapon bestowed upon him by his clan's god was extremely powerful, but he seemed unable to unleash its true power.
Moreover, I am more used to fighting with a single sword than fighting with two swords.
With the Emperor's Declaration enhancing the tentacles' strength, Nicholas pulled Shazam away and flung him away just as Apocalypse was about to approach.
Rosalia, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity pass by, and manipulated the electricity to unleash an attack on Apocalypse without hesitation.
At this moment, Apocalypse chose to create a psychic shield to withstand the attack, and looking in Rosalia's direction, this mutant god began to try to attack in various ways.
Mind manipulation?
No, apart from the one named Qiluo, who seems to have resistance to mind control based on her alien noble title, Qiluo is not a reliable indicator without this weapon.
Wait a minute.
Perhaps, I could consider using threats?
"You two don't want anything to happen to Miss Qiluo, do you?"
Without hesitation, he mentally controlled Shigure Kira, and Akihiro tried to interfere with the actions of the two people in front of him by using the hostage.
"Qiluo, let me in!"
At that moment, Nicholas suddenly shouted and then leaped into Shigure Kira's body right in front of Apocalypse.
"what?"
Looking at Nicholas, who had merged with Shigure Kira, Apocalypse, whose mental abilities were blocked by the Emperor's Declaration, roughly understood that the appearance he had just seen during the fusion was the true nature of that alien.
Unlike the Eternal Sword, which has not recognized a master, the Emperor's Declaration's identification procedure is a job certification, and Nicholas is the only one present who meets the certification criteria.
With a flick of his right hand, the Emperor's Declaration returned to Nicholas's grasp in the next instant.
Nicholas, who is one with Shigure Kira, wields the Emperor's Declaration in his left hand and the all-black Necromancer's Sword in his right. Although he is not used to dual-wielding, he can't just throw away this divinely bestowed sword now.
Holding twin swords, Nicholas and Shigure Kira continued to focus their attention on Apocalypse. Once they defeated him, this disaster could come to an end.
Honkai Impact 2: Chapter 964: Rosalia: I've learned it. So, injuries on the back are a disgrace to an idol.
However, the response to Nicholas and Shigure Kira was an invisible driving force.
The telekinetic force sent the two merged beings flying. Apocalypse then used his legs to propel himself forward, causing the ground to crack, and his figure suddenly attacked, ready to deliver a punch to the alien nobleman.
At the crucial moment, Rosalia grabbed Shigure Kira and Nicholas as they were flying backward, helping them land safely. Rosalia then rushed towards the attacking Apocalypse, their fists clashing together.
Thunder roared as the two sides clashed again. Rosalia felt that she would be unable to inflict any effective damage on Apocalypse in the short term.
If the identity of the God of Gods were represented on a panel, Rosalia's base stats would be improved somewhat, but it wouldn't be enough to surpass most major tiers of the system.
The true power of this new god lies in its ability to connect with and then borrow power. Given time, when Rosalia gains a deeper understanding of this power, she may be able to forcibly borrow the power of her enemies during battle.
Of course, this is still a long way off for Rosalia at present.
In her normal form, the only way Rosalia can deal a significant blow to Apocalypse is by summoning divine lightning when she shouts Shazam.
However, Rosalia had no intention of courting death in a battlefield of this level. If she were to revert to her normal human form, the near-omnipotent guy in front of her, who had already revealed many of her abilities during the battle, might prevent her from ever becoming Shazam again.
Finding an opportunity, he kicked Rosalia away, and Apocalypse extended his right hand, the scepter that had been fixed to his back by telekinesis floating into his palm.
Raising the scepter high, the wrath of nature descends with the will of the divine revelation.
Of course, the newly activated power has nothing to do with the scepter that was originally carried on his back; it's simply that Apocalypse felt that having a scepter in his hand would better demonstrate his majesty when wielding this power.
Apocalypse's new offensive is a physical storm; manipulating lightning is just one of the many abilities of this self-proclaimed original mutant, who was born much earlier than Flame.
The raindrops seemed to harbor deadly intent, as if they could shatter at any moment. Nicholas knew he couldn't continue like this, given the shield forged by the Emperor's Declaration.
"Rosalia, don't give Apocalypse a chance to use the scepter!"
Nicholas shouted without hesitation, and Rosalia responded without the slightest fear.
As Rosalia charged forward, lightning arcs lashed out at the surrounding space, while Nicholas, temporarily in the body of Shigure Kira, rushed toward the place where he had been charging the scepter.
Given the current situation, they are unsure whether they can defeat Apocalypse. Even if they fail, they must minimize their losses.
Should I stay behind out of fear of Tianqi? If I had such thoughts, I'd become a laughing stock after Qiluo and Rosalia were defeated.
With a longsword in his left hand and a scepter in his right, Apocalypse faced Rosalia's attack, pointing his sword at the incoming lightning.
However, after noticing Nicholas's actions, Apocalypse's expression changed.
Does that guy want to destroy one of the key mechanisms that allows him to spread the X gene and forcefully catalyze it?
"Get out of my way!"
Zeus swung his sword at Rosalia with all his might, but Rosalia was drawing out arcs of lightning with her hands. Zeus's divine power was currently resisting the strike of the Eternal Sword.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Tianqi snorted coldly, loosened his grip, and focused more of his attention on Shiyu Qiluo.
The power he gained from a mutant in Egypt erupted at this moment. Based on his calculations of the guy's strength during their fight, the guy would have to fight back with all his might or he would be blasted away.
