"Then let me ask you: you have the time to beg Yaoshi, why not go beg Ite? Or perhaps put down the heavy responsibility before you, shed the burden of being [Chief], and go visit the Church as a tourist."
Although [The Hunt] wasn't mentioned on the Xianzhou, she stepped forward now and engaged in a fierce debate with the remnant of the Plaguemark Author! And Fu Xuan, as the Master Diviner, didn't say anything, which could be taken as tacit approval.
"Even at a time like this, you don't forget to promote the Church... I acknowledge your spirit!" Adrian praised from the bottom of his heart.
"What a pity. I do not blame you for your ignorance. Because we were not born in the era when the Ambrosial Arbor first descended, to witness the miracle of that time. But now, we still have a chance to restore the ancient system..."
Surprisingly, Dan Shu had a good temper; she calmed down in a few seconds and even wanted to recruit them.
Fu Xuan's expression instantly fell. "I thought you had some profound theory, but it's just the same old clichés about pursuing power and abandoning humanity."
"The Xianzhou ancestors fought alongside the Reignbow Arbiter, destroyed the Ambrosial Arbor, and established the [Ten-Lords Commission] to define life and death, precisely to live on in human form."
"Celestials? There are no celestials on the Xianzhou. What [Abundance] miracle, what manipulating life and death—your actions are nothing more than the deeds of monsters!" Fu Xuan scolded angrily.
Having failed to persuade them, Dan Shu shook her head: "When words are incompatible, half a sentence is too much. Master Diviner, you have made your choice. You abandoned power... that is the most foolish choice."
She raised her staff high above her head, and countless Abundance spirit beasts poured out.
"Master Diviner, allow me to demonstrate what the [Celestials] once achieved."
"Merciful Medicus, heed my call!"
March 7th raised both her ice bow and ice spears. "Not good, she's trying to charge up a big move!"
Dan Heng was quick of eye and hand. He immediately took out Cloud-Piercer and directly interrupted Dan Shu's casting. This spear, imbued with the divine power of [Eternity], handled a Disciple of Sanctus Medicus with ease.
Bang!
Dan Shu was sent flying along with the spear shaft.
"Teacher Dan Heng, didn't you say Cloud-Piercer never leaves your person!"
In the next second, Cloud-Piercer returned to Dan Heng's hand.
Facts proved that as long as you stab fast enough, the Cloud-Piercer spear doesn't count as leaving your hand.
"Why... why is this? She clearly said..." Seeing her ultimate move interrupted, Dan Shu clutched her chest. That spear strike just now had directly inflicted internal injuries.
"The descent of the [Ambrosial Arbor]... will bring immortal celestial bodies! The one who gifted us the Stellaron... so that means..."
"Phantylia... the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have done it..."
"The [Lord Ravager] should also fulfill her promise... Quick! It's now!" She raised her trembling head, looking at the only savior present—[Phantylia with a stiff neck]!
"Tsk tsk, why force me to act personally? This goes against my aesthetic of [Destruction]... little pawn." Since it had come to this, she stopped pretending.
"Forget it. It seems that to shatter the Xianzhou from within, I'll have to use other methods..."
"Uh, it's so out of character for her to speak with her head tilted back like that!" March 7th whispered a complaint, only to be knocked on the head by Stelle.
"Stupid, she definitely heard what you said!"
Phantylia: ...
Controlling the twitching corner of her mouth, she disregarded everything and flipped the table directly!
"Sigh~ What a pity, I wanted to observe a little longer..." Phantylia walked up to the weak Dan Shu and took her life with a snap of her fingers.
"Since you received the grace of [Abundance]... you should be able to bear the blessing of... [Destruction], right?"
Without the neck snap from the original plot, a beam of flame floated in the air, and Phantylia finally revealed her true form.
Looking at the rising flame and then at her own hourglass necklace, Stelle suddenly had a bold idea.
This necklace... can it suck her in?
"Benefactors, allow me to reintroduce myself: I am [Lord Ravager] Phantylia."
"I came here to make this Xianzhou fall apart and perish by its own hand."
After finishing her speech, having just dealt with the remnants of the [Disciples of Sanctus Medicus], a group of Legion Voidrangers surrounded them again. The flame circled around once, seemingly expecting everyone's reaction.
The result...
Eh? Why do they have flat expressions, looking completely unsurprised?
"Is this the feeling of being spoiled in advance? So unaccustomed to it." March 7th felt nothing inside and asked Adrian, "At a time like this, should we act a little more surprised?"
"Makes sense. She has just arrived on the Luofu, the first face we saw... We should give this Lord Ravager some face no matter what."
"Right! Let me build up some emotion..."
Phantylia: ...
Is she human? Is she even human?!
Hmm... she really doesn't seem to be human.
The Lord Ravager fell into self-contradiction, casually swatting away the Cloud Knights fighting the Voidrangers.
To her, this group from the Astral Express was currently the most dangerous; even the Master Diviner of the Divination Commission didn't have such a high threat value.
"The ones targeting the Xianzhou are not [Zephyro], nor [Candra]. You are very lucky~ As for me, I dislike creating destruction with my own hands the most..."
Now an energy form, she was essentially immune to physical attacks, and her tone of voice became confident.
Bringing up the two most intimidating Lord Ravagers of the [Antimatter Legion], yet they still had no reaction.
The flame twitched noticeably. Are you really not going to give me any face?!
"Ah... two Emanators, so scary..." March 7th's gaze was calm. Unless they called their boss over, she wouldn't have any emotional fluctuations.
"Talking as if we don't have an [Emanator]. Someone, call General Jing Yuan."
"Oh? A tiny Xianzhou General, I'm afraid that's a bit insufficient~" Phantylia reminded them specifically.
Fu Xuan was not happy to hear this. "Lord Ravager, you will pay the price for your words and deeds."
"What is there to fear?" Phantylia made it clear. Anyway, their General wasn't at the scene, and she was confident she could retreat safely.
Phantylia continued: "Unfortunately, that General insists on me taking the stage, so Phantylia can only show her clumsy skills."
"Time to keep the appointment. Please allow me to take my leave first. I hope you have fun with these... actors."
Numerous Voidrangers surrounded them again. March 7th looked annoyed: "Hey hey hey, ganging up when you can't win... can't play fair?"
"Actually calling for backup, you Lord Ravagers have no martial virtue!"
"Hehe~" Phantylia ignored them and prepared to turn and leave this troublesome place.
"Teacher Adrian, lend me a hand!"
Stelle shouted loudly. Subsequently, her body became incredibly light, and she flew directly into the air, blocking Phantylia who was about to flee, not forgetting to taunt:
"Trying to run after mocking us? Why do you get all the good things?"
"Oh? Then, benefactor, what means do you intend to use to stop this humble girl? Relying on the necklace on your chest?"
Phantylia thought she had guessed Stelle's intention. She had already witnessed the terror of this hourglass necklace and certainly wouldn't let Stelle have her way.
However... there seem to be many interesting things inside this necklace. If there were another Stellaron to assist...
"Guessed right, but not completely right..."
The corners of Stelle's mouth rose slightly. First, she activated the hourglass necklace, and a powerful suction force went straight for Phantylia.
At the same time, she took a deep breath. Time to test her lung capacity!
"Praise the great Lord of [Eternity]! Calling Pontiff Blake!! Requesting a Soap-style nuclear strike on the Lord Ravager!"
