But Xi Wang had no time to care about him. Kevin's attack came again. Flames fell from the sky and the flaming sword fell like judgment.
After losing the deep blue sword, Xi Wang seemed to be able to only use running water to resist Kevin's [Heavenly Fire Judgment]... and it should be unstoppable.
But Xi Wang just raised his hand indifferently, and then... grabbed the flaming sword that was attacking him, and then let his body be engulfed by the flames.
"……Um?!"
Kevin, who launched the attack, was a little confused for a moment, because his sword could no longer move forward. [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement]... was grabbed?!
When the flames dissipated, one could see Xi Wang, with one arm burnt black, grabbing the sword of [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement]. Apart from this arm, he did not seem to have suffered any injuries. There were only some burn marks on his "hunter suit". As the dark blue liquid flowed, his arm was recovering rapidly.
"........."
Kevin looked closely and found that there was a layer of blue water flowing on Xi Wang's hand holding the [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement], which offset the raging flames flowing on the [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement]... He relied on this to "catch" the [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement]? !
Without caring about being surprised, Kevin controlled the ice and snow to freeze the flowing water that Xi Wang was using to counterattack, and then instantly burst out with the power of [Heavenly Fire Judgment] to force Xi Wang to retreat.
"Mei, this won't work. He is gradually adapting to the damage caused by fire. The regular release of [Heavenly Fire Holy Judgment] can no longer pose a threat to him."
Kevin said quickly.
"The normal pressure of [Galactic Harmony] can't do anything to limit it..."
"The spiritual realm cannot be explored... There are too many [memories] mixed in there. I don't even know where these [memories] come from... There are too many and too mixed. They are all broken into pieces and mixed together."
"[Yu Duchen] has little effect... Dr. Mei, I can..."
"It's not necessary, Hua, and it may not work."
Mei's words were weak, but he was still carefully analyzing the situation on the battlefield.
"You may be able to create an opportunity, but not now... The Moonlight Throne will be in place soon. I will use the Fourth God Key to dispel Yu Tian and prevent his power from increasing further..."
"If that's the case, Mei you have to hurry up."
Mebius said as he and his companions continued to suppress Xi Wang.
"The sea water...is starting to rise. After a while, he won't even need [Rainy Days] anymore."
"...Where's Vivi? How's the situation over there?"
"Don't worry, the relevant data and information, as well as the mission execution personnel, have been transferred, and [Paradise of the Past] is also being transferred... [Hibernation of All Things] has been transformed, and there must be a way out, but Dr. Mei, are you sure you don't want to try again? With the power he has shown now, it is not impossible for us to win."
"He is not yet a Herrscher. Don't forget that."
"…I'm sorry, I took it for granted."
Weiwei apologized sincerely. She herself did not expect that Xiwang could actually fight back and forth with eight [Fusion Warriors] in a non-[Lawyer] state.
"Then why did Aponya come with me?"
"His fall is irreversible. The [end] of this time is already fixed, but... he is still on the path he should take. That path is long and difficult, but the [end] of everything must be him, the future you and I look forward to... and all I can do is to save and retain some hope as much as possible under this [end]."
Aponia's tired and dejected voice slowly sounded.
"This is already part of fate... And, if I hadn't come, this last hope would have been found by him, and thrown into the sea, turning into foam."
"…Aponia, if we don't do this, he will definitely destroy everything, right?"
Mei asked again.
"Yes, that's me, it's you, and it's what he doesn't want to see... I... have to do this."
Aponya's voice was full of determination.
“Meow…Help…Help!!!”
"Pado?!"
Padofelice's wailing pulled everyone back from the discussion. They saw Padofelice's figure being dragged by the dark sword, flying in the air. The azure water flow drove the person and the sword, moving constantly in irregular movements. The raindrops from the sky turned into sharp thorns, either scratching or piercing her body... But even so, she still did not let go, trying her best to prevent the sword from returning to Xiwang.
On the other side, Xi Wang withstood the attacks of everyone and repelled Qianjie's attacks again and again. He used one hand as a knife, drawing water blades like waves in the air to continuously offset the attacks of others. With the other hand, he clenched into a fist and attacked Kosmo, who had already [collapsed] and turned into a "monster". A killer whale quickly jumped out and forcibly knocked Kosmo away.
After doing all this, Xi Wang made a move with his hand, and the water flow in the sky carried the sword and the man back to Xi Wang's side.
"........."
Padufils, who was dragged to Xiwang's side, was trembling all over and smiled dryly at the indifferent Xiwang.
"Ahahaha... Brother Wang... I... I was wrong. Can we reconcile?"
Standing up tremblingly, not caring that she was soaked all over, Padufils carefully dragged the sword backwards, but she soon couldn't drag it anymore.
"Then... that... Brother Wang?"
Padufils had a sad face, and her body was almost limp with fear... But she still didn't let go of the sword, and even deliberately pulled it towards herself, as if she wanted to take the sword away.
But soon, a huge, azure, translucent fish covered her figure.
"I...I don't want to die yet..."
Her voice was like a whimper, but after a gnawing sound, she could make no more sound.
It's time to start reducing the number of people. We've had enough fun.
Xi Wang subconsciously wiped his lips with his thumb. As for the "leaves" and "feathers" that just appeared in an instant... they had no effect on him.
He quickly retreated half a step, turned around and swung his sword upwards. The tip of the sword cut through the water on the ground, creating a thin, crescent-shaped sword energy made of water, which split Mebius, who was trying to move forward, into two halves.
However, this is not a problem for Mebius. Because of Xiwang, there is plenty of Honkai energy here, and she will be resurrected soon.
But immediately, Xi Wang stepped heavily on the water, and his figure quickly disappeared from the spot. While avoiding Kevin's attack, he arrived in front of Eden almost in an instant.
Holding the sword high, the water flowed, and then... swung it down! The sword and the water were thrown towards the shining star.
Although she managed to dodge it, but...it doesn't matter.
She raised her hand and waved it gently, and the rain falling around her instantly stagnated in mid-air, and then... it flowed upstream towards the sky along with the accumulated water on the ground, piercing their bodies in the process.
Fortunately, this was not a difficult attack for Eden who possessed the [Harmony of the Star Sea]. However, it pushed Mobius, who had just been resurrected, back to the state of "death" and required him to absorb the Honkai energy again to be resurrected.
Then he waved his arm to the side, and countless huge blue tentacles emerged from the water, attacking Hua and Su who were always getting in his way, hindering their movements and leaving them with no energy to support their teammates.
He let go of the sword in his hand and controlled the water flow to resist Kevin's attack. Then... he opened his five fingers and caught Qianjie's attack again. Countless white mists filled the air, and the flowing water was evaporated by the high temperature and quickly condensed.
"Hahahahaha!!! Very good! Don't you want to play anymore?! Stop pretending! Come on! Keep going! Until one of us falls! And dies!"
His attacks were still violent, even after he lost an arm. It could be said that his aura became stronger after he lost his arm.
But... Xi Wang didn't care. He had gradually adapted to Qianjie's attacks, and controlling the flow of water was enough to resist it.
He slowly clenched his hand into a fist, and then slowly placed it in front of Qianjie, who had never retreated a single step.
A strange, azure-blue shadow shaped like a shrimp quietly emerged.
"Qianjie! Get out of the way!"
Hua's pupils shrank when he noticed that this posture was somewhat familiar, and he immediately shouted, and while breaking up the attacking tentacles, he was about to use [Yu Du Chen] to help Qian Jie.
But... Xi Wang seemed to have noticed her intention in advance, took a quick glance, and then all the "water" around began to riot and become active.
Yes, all the "water", so... the "water" that vaporizes and then condenses into white mist in the air, and even the "water" that is inadvertently breathed into the body... is also included.
"Pfft-"
The damage from inside her body made Hua cough up blood. Even though she quickly adjusted herself and forced out the abnormal "water" in her body along with the blood, the brief delay still interrupted her attack.
And this moment was enough for Xiwang to complete the attack.
He punched out close to Qianjie in an instant, and the shadow behind him solidified in an instant, and then - bang!
Accompanied by a dull sound, Qianjie's entire body was shattered and turned into tiny pieces of flesh and blood that splashed everywhere, but were soon swept away by the water and disappeared almost in an instant, without leaving any trace.
"........."
Xi Wang subconsciously licked his lips, frowned, then waved his hand to block Kevin's attack, took the sword back into his hand, and slashed at him with his backhand, forcing him back with the water flow.
"Cough...cough..."
On the other side, Eden coughed up blood and forced out the abnormal "water" in his body. He also controlled the [Harmony of the Star Sea] to suppress Xiwang, and cooperated with Kosmo who rushed forward again to attack him together... but at this moment, it seemed to be of no use.
Xi Wang's sudden outburst caused them to lose two people in an instant, which made them feel a sense of urgency... Logically speaking, the power Xi Wang had shown before should not be so strong, unless...
"【seawater】?"
Everyone looked at the shallow water flowing beneath them, and they all thought of a possibility - Xi Wang relied on the water beneath him to continuously expand and flow, and finally came into contact with the [ocean], and then... gained power?
Does this count?!
But what happened next forced them to believe it... because the water beneath them began to rise, soon covering their ankles and rapidly rising to knee depth... Although they were clearly close to inland, the salty smell of sea water could be smelled in the air.
Eden had to divert some of his attention to get the others out of the water... Although Kevin could rely on his ability to use ice and snow to create an ice surface to stand on, it was still not safe enough. Xiwang would manipulate the water under the ice to break through the ice, or even directly give the water the "property" of being difficult to freeze, causing Kevin to expend more energy to deal with the surrounding water, thereby reducing the number of his attacks, which was not worth the loss.
As for Kosmo... he chose to stay down there and fight with Xiwang, relying on his own characteristics to continuously devour the surrounding Honkai energy in order to adapt to the humid environment and further qualify to fight with Xiwang.
But this won’t last long…
"Kevin!!!"
Kosmo didn't care about much else and could only roar with all his might using his almost lost ability to speak.
Kevin also understood, raised his sword, flames surged, and then...
[Skyfire——unsheathed! 】
The same flame that had destroyed the Ninth Herrscher emerged, burning the rain clouds that had accumulated in the sky, evaporating the rising sea water, and dispelling all the dampness that permeated the surroundings.
The raging flames devoured Xiwang and Kosmo.
But the expressions of others did not relax.
Because it is still a [rainy day], the rain is still dripping, and the area below is judged to be an ocean... Xiwang will not die so easily.
"........."
Sure enough, when the flames dissipated, what finally appeared was Xi Wang wiping the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand... Even though his entire body was severely burned, he quickly recovered as the dark blue liquid flowed.
Damn it...
"You can't kill me like this. You can only become [prey]."
Xi Wang licked his fingers and looked at the people floating in the sky. His scattered golden pupils were glowing faintly like starlight.
"Not going on? Or... do you need me to do it?"
No one responded.
"So, then... continue the hunt?"
At this time, the rain...stopped.
Almost in an instant, Hua activated [Yu Du Chen], sacrificing his memory to make Xi Wang fall into a brief stiffness... This will be an opportunity!
Emerald green "leaves" emerged, and the long emerald green tail feathers swayed gently. Su displayed his own [Collapse], forcibly stretching this short period of time.
Immediately, [Starry Sea Harmony] was released, and with Xiwang himself as the center of the circle, the surrounding sea water was instantly emptied and drained away, leaving only Xiwang stranded on the ground.
Then, the light of the [Moonlight Throne] shone brightly above the sky, fell down, and enveloped Xi Wang...?
"how……"
Eden was a little stunned for a moment. The sea water that had been pushed away from the surroundings seemed to come alive at this moment, flowing rapidly, and began to spread along the gap created by Eden, and finally added a "lid" directly on the gap.
The attack of [Moonlight Throne] fell on this "lid", and the water on it flowed rapidly, offsetting the attack in a puzzling way. Although it only resisted for a short while, this time was enough.
Accompanied by a somewhat shrill bird cry, Su, who had already [collapsed], lost consciousness as if he had suffered a very terrifying attack, and Xi Wang also recovered. When he realized the threat above his head, he wanted to call the water to carry himself away... But at this time, a hideous giant snake jumped out from the water nearby. Although it was nailed to the ground by Xi Wang's sword the moment it got close to him, this action still slowed him down.
"what……"
Mebius chuckled, and before the light faded, she looked into Xi Wang's unfocused golden eyes.
"The snake has been staring at you, little white mouse~"
Then, the light descended and enveloped them.
"........."
Silence... Apart from the sound of the energy beam rubbing against the air, the only sound around was the sound of flowing sea water, as if everything was over.
But... everyone knows that everything has just begun.
woo-
A sound like a horn sounded.
puff-
