The pseudo black hole created by Welt's hand, even for a Lord Ravager like Phantylia, could cause considerable damage.
After her abdomen was hit by it, a gaping hole formed. Phantylia, who was in the middle of suppressing Jing Yuan's Lightning Lord with her fan, now had a pained expression on her face. The momentum of her attack also slowed considerably, giving Jing Yuan a chance to catch his breath and prepare for a counterattack.
It had to be said, Phantylia's body, constructed from the Ambrosial Arbor, had an incredibly strong recovery ability. The wound created by the pseudo black hole healed back to normal in just a few breaths.
Derick, having blocked the wave of lotus attacks, also quickly swung the Spear of Divine Retribution in his hand, launching it straight at Phantylia's arm. And into the spear, he poured the full energy of the Titan of Death.
The energy attribute of the Titan of Death conflicted with the power of Abundance. Of course, in terms of energy quality, the two were not on the same level, but hitting Phantylia's body with it would still cause a violent reaction with the Abundance power, thereby affecting her combat.
On the ground, Castorice and Stelle looked at their attack range and temporarily gave up the idea of charging in. The situation was not yet so critical, and their attack range was a bit short. Rushing in to attack was a bit risky.
Hyacine's attack range was large enough, so she could freely release attacks from the celestial phenomena. Above Phantylia's head, she condensed a pile of lightning and meteorites that continuously fell towards her. The damage caused wasn't too much, but it greatly affected Phantylia's psychological state.
It was like a fly buzzing around you, occasionally landing on you. For a big-hearted person, it might not matter, but Phantylia's temper was certainly not large. Hyacine's attacks made the fire of anger in her heart rise continuously.
And at this moment, Derick's attack also arrived.
The Spear of Divine Retribution landed heavily on the arm Phantylia was using to fight Jing Yuan. After the spear struck, the energy of the Titan of Death reacted violently with her body, which was manifested from the Undying Divine Realmn, and her arm was suddenly racked with pain.
The Abundance energy and the Death Titan's energy reacted violently. The Death Titan's power was quickly expelled, but the intense process caused the pain in her arm to intensify greatly.
Especially when Phantylia suddenly discovered that at some unknown point, a few strange creatures had appeared on her arm, amplifying her sense of pain.
It was an attack secretly released by Ruan Mei. In terms of direct combat, Ruan Mei wasn't too strong, but she was a master of other methods.
People like Derick, Blade, and Mydei, who had many immortal bodies, were long used to pain, and this kind of pain wouldn't affect their actions. But Phantylia was different. She had rarely experienced this kind of pain. Accompanied by the pain in her arm, the direction of her attack went askew.
Jing Yuan was a strategist, and he rarely had opportunities to fight. But he wouldn't miss such an opportunity to attack. Seeing Phantylia's movement falter, he immediately manipulated the Lightning Lord to swing its glaive and attack her main body.
Phantylia hastily twisted her body to dodge, but this time she couldn't completely avoid the Lightning Lord's blade.
A huge wound was cut open on her chest by its glaive.
"Phantylia, don't resist anymore," Jing Yuan said to her. As he spoke, the Lightning Lord raised its glaive high and brought it down on her.
"What a joke! I will never admit defeat!" Phantylia's tone was filled with shame and anger. She waved the fan in her hand continuously, stirring up even more attacks combining the power of Destruction and Abundance, which flew straight towards Jing Yuan and the others.
On the ground, seeing this situation, Welt Yang immediately said, "Let's retreat to a safe distance first."
"That won't be necessary." Ruan Mei spoke up from the side. The aftershocks of Destruction released by Phantylia were not too difficult for her to block. She once again released a few strange creatures for protection, shielding everyone on the ground.
Of course, there was one exception.
Derick's second clone was thrown out to receive the impact of Phantylia's energy.
"Get used to this energy first," Ruan Mei said as she threw it.
"You're bullying my buddy too much!" Stelle said from the side, speaking up for Derick's second clone.
"After it adapts to this power, it will be better able to devour Phantylia's body, which was constructed from the Ambrosial Arbor, and thus increase its strength," Ruan Mei replied softly from the side.
After saying this, she even glanced at Stelle. "You can try it too. Maybe you'll have some unexpected gains."
Hearing her say this, Stelle shook her head repeatedly.
"Forget it, forget it. I'm afraid the Stellaron will explode and hurt you all."
At this moment, high in the sky, Derick also noticed the situation with his second clone. But he currently had no time to pay attention to it. There was another problem he needed to solve.
He didn't care about facing Phantylia's attacks himself; at worst, he would just get a little injured. But he had brought Polyxia up with him, and an attack like this could inflict who-knows-what kind of injury on her.
"Polyxia, return to your human form, then get on my back," Derick commanded her.
"Mhm." Polyxia nodded lightly, then quickly transformed from a giant dragon back into her human form. She quickly came behind Derick, grabbing his clothes and pressing herself tightly against his back.
Her cheek was gently pressed against his back, and she could clearly feel the firmness of his body.
It was very safe. Just leaning against his back made her feel at ease.
It's just that…
Polyxia suddenly felt a desire to lean on his back forever. If only it could last a little longer, if only her cheek could stay in contact with his back for a little longer.
She was lost in this feeling for a few seconds before she suddenly came to her senses.
Wait, Polyxia, what are you thinking? Derick is your sister's boyfriend, your brother-in-law. Don't think about such messy things.
Polyxia reluctantly rubbed her cheek against his back one last time.
Derick, at this moment, had no energy to notice Polyxia's actions and thoughts behind him. His attention was still focused on dealing with Phantylia's attack. The energy in his body gathered, condensing in front of him to clash with her assault.
The two energies canceled each other out.
The others, seeing this situation, were only worried for Derick's safety. But there was one exception.
Stelle looked at the way Derick was blocking the attack, then glanced at the second clone outside.
"Why is Brother Derick's posture for blocking the attack the same as my monster buddy's?"
Is this a coincidence? Or something else?
She thought to herself with some doubt.
The others wouldn't see the similarity in their movements; they would only feel that they were blocking an attack for someone else. But for Stelle, who had been saved twice from fatal attacks by the second clone, she felt that Derick's movements were somewhat similar.
"But maybe it's just a coincidence."
This point wasn't enough to prove anything, so Stelle suppressed the matter in her heart.
Phantylia's enraged attack passed. Jing Yuan blocked most of it, and Ruan Mei also protected everyone without injury. Derick in the sky, because he was too close to Phantylia, suffered a lot of energy attacks, and on top of that, had to protect Polyxia, so his injuries were not light.
He quickly recovered his body and gestured for Polyxia to go down and regroup with Castorice and the others first.
Phantylia's attack was over. Now, it was time to counterattack.
"Slash!"
Jing Yuan's counterattack was the first to be launched. The Lightning Lord swung its glaive, descending from the sky, wanting to cut Phantylia in two starting from the head.
Phantylia hastily conjured a wall of lotuses to resist the Lightning Lord's slash.
Jing Yuan shouted to Derick at this moment, "Now, Derick, attack!"
Among the people present, besides the pseudo-black hole released by Welt Yang after a long preparation, Derick's attack had the highest power. And in this situation, it was naturally not suitable for Welt to prepare for a long time.
Derick's attack was the most appropriate.
He no longer hesitated. Raising the Lance of Divine Retribution in his hand, he began to gather the Titan energy in his body.
Gripping the greatsword, he couldn't help but think of the move he had seen before.
Right now, this is my most powerful move!
His figure slowly rose, and he twisted his body, continuing to exert force. Finally, reaching the peak of his momentum, he unleashed his attack.
"Illuminate the Myriad Rivers!"
The move he learned from Jingliu allowed Derick to successfully release all the Titan energy in his body. Not just the Titan of Death plus the Titan of Discord. The energies of the Titan of Reason and the Worldbearing Titan also merged in this one move. The convergence of the four energies presented a golden color, making the sword slash he sent out shine like a sun.
Phantylia hadn't expected that while she was fighting Jing Yuan, a "sun" would also come crashing towards her. But she hadn't given up yet. Her lips parted slightly, and from within, she spat out a stream of grayish energy to block the sun.
The giant "sun" and Phantylia's gray barrier clashed violently. Derick's attack was always just a little bit short of breaking through her defense.
Seeing this situation, Phantylia felt a little relieved.
The battle wasn't over yet. She still had a chance of victory.
And just at that moment, a cold light came from the distance.
Derick subconsciously looked over and saw a "moon," also crashing towards Phantylia.
The same sword move, its power not the least bit weaker than Derick's.
The "moon" and the "sun" simultaneously smashed into Phantylia's gray energy. The already fragile gray defense was completely broken.
The "moon" and the "sun" sank into Phantylia's body.
