You look at March 7th and Dan Heng, who are tied to a pillar and unconscious. They were once your close companions. But in your eyes, there is no trace of past bonds, only indifference, as if you are looking at two useless objects. You think for a moment and decide there's no need to personally end them.
Then, you turn and walk towards the original Orion's body. That body has completely lost its vitality, lying limply on the ground like a discarded doll. You casually wave your hand, and a greenish-black flame ignites. The body quickly turns to ash in the flames, dissipating into the air without leaving a trace.
Below, General Feixiao has already dealt with your clone. She is searching for traces of the mastermind, and the powerful aura you are emitting immediately catches her attention. Feixiao moves like lightning, arriving nearby in an instant. She immediately sees March 7th and Dan Heng tied to the pillar, as well as "Stelle" standing there with her back to her.
The battle reports Feixiao received earlier mentioned that the Trailblazer of the Astral Express was abducted by the Emanator of Destruction. These three are precisely members of the Express crew. Seeing that they appear unharmed, Feixiao breathes a sigh of relief.
However, when she clearly sees the figure standing there, her pupils suddenly constrict. That Trailblazer... something isn't right! A powerful, evil aura of destruction emanates from her, originating from the same source as the giant Huan Long just now, but even purer and more terrifying.
Feixiao holds her twin gunblades and sharply questions, "Who are you?!"
You turn around and say, "Guess?"
The anger in Feixiao's heart rises, and she roars, "Speak, or don't blame me for killing the innocent!"
You chuckle lightly, mocking, "Heh, the Xianzhou's General is truly uninteresting." You no longer conceal yourself, announcing your existence to Feixiao.
"Emanator of Destruction, Huan Long."
The playful smile on your face makes Stelle's original countenance appear incredibly eerie at this moment.
"You Xianzhou people are always so arrogant, thinking you can control everything," you say disdainfully, "but you don't realize you are as fragile as insects, easily stirred into chaos with a mere poke."
"This game has just begun."
As your words fall, powerful destructive force erupts from within you.
Feixiao looks at "Stelle", who is radiating a terrifying aura, her weapon gripped tightly in her hand, her eyes cold: "Emanator of Destruction Huan Long, no matter what methods you used... today, you will not leave Luofu alive!"
You reveal a malicious smile: "Oh? Then, let me properly experience the power of a Hunt Emanator with this new body."
Feixiao no longer hesitates, immediately activating her power and attacking you! You easily dodge Feixiao's attack; your movements are incredibly fast. You don't use a sword, but instead casually pick up the baseball bat Stelle dropped on the ground. A swing of the baseball bat, carrying terrifying destructive power, its might far exceeding that of the previous clone!
Feixiao struggles to cope; she is injured, and the current situation is not favorable for this Xianzhou General. You mock her while fighting: "Is this the power of a Xianzhou General? Truly disappointing."
"You're too slow, like a clumsy fox."
With just a casual swing of the baseball bat, the resulting air current can easily cut through a distant building! Feixiao frowns, realizing that your strength is greater than she expected. The battle continues; although Feixiao is suppressed, she barely manages to withstand your one-sided attacks.
Suddenly, you stop your offensive; you sense the movements of other forces within the Xianzhou Alliance—more Xianzhou fleets are approaching Luofu.
You say disdainfully to Feixiao, "Little fox, you've tried very hard, but unfortunately... it means nothing."
"You're trying to buy time, waiting for reinforcements, right? Yes, they've indeed arrived."
"But their arrival cannot save Luofu."
You no longer hold back; destructive power condenses to its extreme on the baseball bat! Then you leap up, bringing down star-destroying power upon Feixiao!
A look of determination flashes in Feixiao's eyes; she knows she cannot withstand this blow, but she does not flinch. She holds her great axe in front of her, attempting to block this devastating strike, letting out a final roar!
[Boom—!!]
A terrifying impact sweeps across the entire Xianzhou Luofu, the ground collapses, and space distorts! Feixiao's body flies backward like a kite with a broken string, her gun-axe completely shattered! She falls heavily to the ground, blood gushing from her mouth, yet her eyes remain resolute.
"I... should have bought time for Luofu, right?" This is Feixiao's last thought. Her body gradually grows cold, but her eyes still look into the distance, as if seeing something.
You look at the fallen Feixiao, your expression unperturbed, only coldly uttering a few words: "Too weak." Just as you expected, a Hunt Emanator simply cannot contend with Destruction.
Soon, roars come from the distant sky as a massive Xianzhou fleet arrives, and more Xianzhou Generals descend upon Luofu with elite Cloud Knights. But by this time, your objective has already been achieved. You no longer linger in battle, but instead turn and head to the depths of the Ambrosial Arbor—the Stellaron that was secretly transported there is still waiting.
The Ambrosial Arbor is now incredibly lush, its branches and leaves almost obscuring the sky. You walk to the very core of the Ambrosial Arbor's root system; there, a Stellaron emitting an eerie golden light is intertwined with the Ambrosial Arbor, providing it with a continuous supply of energy. You reach out your hand, pull hard, and forcibly peel that Stellaron from the Ambrosial Arbor. Deprived of the Stellaron's support, the Ambrosial Arbor instantly withers, its enormous canopy rapidly withering and turning into rotten wood.
You carefully examine the Stellaron in your hand for a moment, revealing a satisfied expression: "How beautiful."
The next second.
You suddenly plunge your other hand into your own chest! Your body trembles violently, and a pained expression crosses your face, but there is a morbid sense of enjoyment in your eyes. From your chest, you extract that almost transparent, gold-edged orb—this is the Stellaron within Stelle's body!
You smile. Thousands of years, finally, the time for revenge has come.
With the two Stellarons held separately in your hands, destructive power overflows from both of your hands, enveloping the two Stellarons. The two Stellarons begin to absorb power, and then, they even begin to resonate...
