As they advanced, they saw Bella floating in the air.
"Looks like we need to defeat this blocking young lady first," Aili sighed.
Then she glanced around, "Tsk, Feather Crossing the Dust, huh…"
Otto, Fu Hua, and Cheng Lixue were nowhere to be seen around them.
It seemed they had gone directly towards Sirin.
Facing the electric ball that smashed down, Siegfried immediately ran to the front of the team, using the Judgment of Shamash in his hand to directly split the electric ball in mid-air.
After landing, Siegfried's arm holding the Judgment of Shamash was covered with a layer of blue outer armor, which absorbed the recoil damage from the Judgment of Shamash.
As soon as Siegfried landed, Cecilia appeared beside him, blocking the subsequent attacks for him.
"Siegfried, be careful, besides this young lady, there are also Honkai Beasts in other directions," Cecilia said, pulling Siegfried away from their original spot, just as a huge stone pillar crashed where they had been standing.
The surrounding Valkyries were all trying their best to fend off the other Honkai Beasts.
A single Honkai Beast was not scary, what was scary was that these Honkai Beasts were in groups.
The Honkai Beast that just threw the stone pillar was the Honkai Beast Siegfried and his team first encountered when tracking Sirin, codenamed Ashvatthaman, level, Emperor-class…
Moreover, next to Ashvatthaman, who was holding the stone pillar, there were clearly weakened versions of it.
These Honkai Beasts seemed to appear out of thin air.
Even though they had already bombed the area with missiles before coming.
On Aili's side, any arrow she casually shot now had the potential to hit a Honkai Beast.
Especially since she was still viewing Otto's perspective.
If these Honkai Beasts weren't in groups, everyone present could have killed them without taking damage, but it was different now; they were the challengers.
Another arrow intercepted a very small Pavarti, clearly not having absorbed enough Honkai Energy yet.
This Pavarti had barely stood up before its body slowly began to turn into fragments.
Pulling the bowstring again, this time the arrow looked more like it was carved from a single piece of crystal.
Aili released the bowstring, aiming at the largest Ashvatthaman.
The arrow grew larger as it flew.
But as it approached Ashvatthaman, Ashvatthaman directly used its thick arms to block its head.
After hitting, the arrow did not penetrate Ashvatthaman's arms, but shattered into fragments, directly clearing out the enemies around Ashvatthaman.
Two A-rank Valkyries quickly approached Ashvatthaman, attempting to slay it.
But Ashvatthaman directly charged forward with its arms hugged, trying to get close to Aili.
Halfway through its charge.
"Judgment of Shamash: Unsheathed!"
Then, Siegfried landed on the ground, panting heavily.
This was the second time Judgment of Shamash had been unsheathed, and an empty vial fell to the ground.
On Bella's side, Cecilia was delaying her alone.
"Quickly leave here, get back to the defensive line!" Siegfried panted, telling the surrounding Valkyries.
Being surrounded here would lead to being worn down to death.
Because of the flames of Judgment of Shamash, the surrounding Honkai Beasts were temporarily unable to approach.
"Siegfried, are you alright?" Aili shot another arrow, then asked Siegfried.
"Not dead yet," Siegfried struggled to stand up and rushed towards Cecilia's position.
A virtual screen appeared in Aili's vision.
It showed "Transmitting…"
The progress bar was not slow, and soon, Aili had a set of armor on her body.
Key of Blankness, but Aili could clearly feel that this set on her body seemed a bit different from the one in reality.
Controlling the floating modules behind her, she began clearing out the surrounding Honkai Beasts.
However, the consumption of this armor was also much greater.
Just as Aili was about to control the floating modules to attack the next target.
Aili seemed to see a completely white figure, that figure, holding a greatsword, directly plunged it into its own chest.
Aili, on her end, also clutched her chest and knelt on the ground, the armor's floating modules also directly falling to the ground.
So painful…
Drops of sweat ran down Aili's nose and fell to the ground.
'Damn it…' Aili was already regretting empathizing with Otto.
She saw Sirin, who was deceived by Otto, and that final white figure.
Thus Spoke Apocalypse…
She should have thought of it earlier…
That white figure was the so-called god Otto saw.
But why could she also feel the sensation of being pierced through the body by a sharp sword?
"Hey, are you alright!" Shigure Kira used the floating musical note sword in her hand to block the spear thrusting towards Aili.
But Aili could only clutch her chest and pant heavily at this moment.
She had no wounds on her body; with the Death Herrscher gem, she could clearly feel it.
The pain just now had also directly severed her connection with the virus inside Otto, or rather, the part of the virus inside Otto that belonged to her was directly annihilated.
Aili raised her head with some difficulty, looking towards the Babylon Laboratory.
Then, in Aili's vision, she saw a giant sword piercing the sky directly stabbing down towards the ground.
Tai Xu Sword God…
Aili also knew this move, but she could never achieve this level.
This attack should have been done by Fu Hua, right?
Thinking this, Aili's body slowly collapsed.
She still hadn't endured the pain from earlier.
This was her first time experiencing such chest-piercing pain.
The armor on her body also slowly turned into purple light spots and disappeared.
Shigure Kira quickly supported Aili, preventing her from falling directly onto the ground.
After changing Aili's position to lie flat on the ground, Shigure Kira stayed by Aili's side.
On Siegfried's side, he had already used Judgment of Shamash: Unsheathed four times.
Now, his body, including his face, had developed ghost-like chitin, and a horn had even grown on his forehead.
Bella was not much better; her two wings were now unusable.
Feeling the energy fluctuations from Sirin's side, Bella immediately turned her head to look in that direction.
Just that moment, Cecilia seized another opportunity to attack, and a large hole was poked into her already injured wing by Black Abyss White Flower.
If Bella hadn't also possessed part of the Death Herrscher's abilities, she would have died from the injuries inflicted by Black Abyss White Flower alone.
At this point, Bella was already somewhat anxious, disregarding her injuries, and rushed towards the laboratory.
On top of the Babylon Laboratory, "Lord Bishop, please take my master and leave."
Cheng Lixue held Ruoshui, facing Sirin in front of her.
However, the current Sirin was playing with a feather in her hand with a playful smile.
"This interesting thing, let me see how to play with it first." Saying this, the red feather in Sirin's hand was dyed the color of a purple starry sky.
Cheng Lixue's eyes slowly dimmed, and she was pulled into an illusion by Feather Crossing the Dust.
