As the group advanced, the number of Quantum Shadows increased exponentially.
At the same location, multiple Quantum Shadows would even overlap.
Upon reaching a platform,
"I think this experiment can be terminated now," Einstein said, looking at the Quantum Shadows in the air.
The number of Quantum Shadows now far exceeded the estimated quantity before the experiment.
"Terminate? Chicken-head, even if we terminate it now, we still have to clear out all these pesky things!" As she spoke, a laser beam shot out from Tesla's mechanical arm.
"Furthermore, with our current resources, if we want to restart the Sea of Quanta, the time we need to prepare will double!"
As she spoke, several Titans leaped onto the platform from an unknown location, taking over their combat.
As for Kiana and the others, they were also having a difficult time.
These Quantum Shadows, why did they feel so insubstantial when fighting them?
"Kiana, be careful." Mei used her katana to sever the Quantum Shadow Core of a Quantum Shadow that was approaching Kiana.
"Damn it, Mei, these things are so annoying!" Kiana's dual pistols never stopped firing.
"Bronya Onee-chan." Wendy floated beside Bronya, a cyan wind swirling around them.
"Wendy..." Bronya looked at Wendy, then reached out and pulled Cocolia, bringing Cocolia into the barrier formed by the wind.
"Doctor, even if we want to stop the experiment now, we must first reach the Sea of Quanta," Aili said, steadily clearing the surrounding Quantum Shadows.
She watched the Quantum Shadows encircling them from other directions.
"Sigh..." After Einstein sighed, her small robot floated in front of her.
As commands were input, the battleship, which had been motionless, gradually ascended, and its cannons began to fire.
"Let's go, while the battleship hasn't been shot down yet," Einstein said, then walked directly in front of a mech.
Tesla quickly followed.
The battleship's ascent attracted a large number of Quantum Shadows, and even the number of Quantum Shadows around them decreased significantly.
As they moved quickly, a third blue light spread from the center of Haiyuan City.
Some even more powerful Quantum Shadows also appeared in reality.
With a deep shockwave, an explosion occurred directly on one of the battleships in the air.
The violent explosion made them look up involuntarily.
Then, they saw a terrifying Quantum Shadow moving back and forth through the battleship.
Each appearance resulted in a cannon being destroyed.
"Alas..." With a sigh from Einstein, the attacked battleship directly self-destructed.
The attacking figure was forced to stop in mid-air, its originally deep figure turning white.
The other surrounding battleships simultaneously concentrated fire on this figure.
But before long, the figure reverted to its deep color, though its movements appeared a bit slower.
"Let's speed up. The longer we delay, the stronger these Quantum Shadows will become."
Everyone's mood also became a bit heavier.
Even the battleship's firepower couldn't easily eliminate that shadow.
Furthermore, the surrounding Quantum Shadows were clearly stronger.
The Titans, which could originally crush them one-on-one, now required two to attack simultaneously to defeat.
Seeing that there were only a few platforms left until the Sea of Quanta,
However, in front of them, the same type of Quantum Shadow that had attacked the battleship appeared.
The Quantum Shadow known as the "Lobster" in the game, Tonatiuh.
As soon as they reached this platform, this Lobster smashed down from above them.
Then, streaks of blade marks spread outwards from where it struck.
If everyone hadn't been quite vigilant, they might have suffered casualties from that one blow alone.
Before the Lobster had even stood up, Himeko had already leaped up with her greatsword, then directly slashed down towards the Lobster's head.
Before Himeko had even landed, the pincers on the Lobster's back clamped towards Himeko.
A chain quickly wrapped around Himeko's waist, pulling her rapidly backward.
"Himeko, be careful!" Theresa was holding the chain in her hand.
During the previous battle, the Fourth-Generation Valkyrie Armors had already been equipped on Aili, Fu Hua, and Kiana.
Fu Hua appeared beside the Lobster at some unknown point, holding a bright ball of yellow lightning in her hand, which she then pressed directly onto the Lobster's body.
Aili, at this moment, also fired a dark red arrow.
It wasn't that she didn't want to use the power of Death, but the power of Death had less impact on these Quantum Shadows than expected.
For now, pure physical attacks were more effective against these Quantum Shadows.
"Don't get entangled here for too long," Aili said to the others beside her.
No sooner had Aili finished speaking than Fu Hua activated her armor's Eclipse form.
She then rapidly attacked the core part of the Lobster.
The core was the medium for the Quantum Shadow to enter reality; as long as the core could be shattered, the Quantum Shadow could be returned to the Sea of Quanta.
This way, they would have some time to breathe.
While Fu Hua was attacking, Aili cleared the other surrounding Quantum Shadows.
The group steadily advanced towards the Sea of Quanta.
Upon reaching the edge of the platform, "Hua, you can do it now!"
No sooner had Aili finished speaking than Fu Hua, who had been attacking the Lobster there, slammed her palm heavily onto the platform's surface.
The resulting shockwave directly knocked the Lobster into a collapsed state.
Then, she delivered another kick.
The Lobster was directly sent back to the Sea of Quanta.
Fu Hua's attack just now was only to attract attention so that Aili and the others could leave the platform.
Looking at the cracks that covered the entire platform, Tesla's eye twitched.
"Chicken-head, are you sure they won't betray us?" Tesla whispered to Einstein.
"They are allies, nothing will happen," Einstein said, glancing at Tesla.
"Don't think too much; they are just here to help us."
Einstein directly stopped Tesla, who wanted to continue speaking.
S-Rank Valkyries are not just promoted casually.
She was not surprised by Fu Hua's destructive power.
In fact, she also wanted to know how Aili was promoted to S-Rank; if it was just the power of the Herrscher of Death, then Raiden Mei could also be promoted to S-Rank.
Or perhaps Wendy was also a Herrscher.
How many of them in this group were pure humans?
