The mechanical greatsword swept through the air.
Honestly, although this thing was immensely powerful, and for Lu Xing, even a glancing blow meant death, it was still somewhat exaggerated for confronting an opponent the size of the Knight Captain. Against the Great Universe, which was countless times smaller, its hit rate was directly reduced to the minimum.
"Crackle!"
Honkai energy and the strong magnetic field binding the greatsword's surface began to chafe wildly.
Lu Xing, evading the attack, struck at Heimdall's surface—
"Clang!!"
The [Power Strike] concentrated on his wings.
It had no visible effect on Heimdall's body.
The opponent's armor thickness had already surpassed Lu Xing's current armor penetration capability; slashing and thrusting types of damage could basically be ignored.
Fortunately, the Knight Captain had left enough wounds on Heimdall!
The recoil from the attack halted Lu Xing's flight trajectory. The last few relentlessly pursuing missiles, catching up to his previous position, were about to strike—
"Hiss!"
Spinning in the air, a sharp turn, a dive straight down!
Failing to penetrate the armor was not unexpected by Lu Xing. The instant the missile warheads were about to touch him, Lu Xing's wings made a sharp turn in mid-air, rushing straight towards the largest opening at the position of the left rear scapula!
"Boom!" xN
"Swish!"
Explosions sounded continuously.
Heimdall didn't just sit and wait for death. A sharp whistling sound was hidden amidst the explosions, as the remaining half of its large, diamond-shaped shield slammed down like a guillotine!
"Bang!!"
The dilapidated highway was gouged by a trench over 20 meters long.
Heimdall's attack posed no threat to Lu Xing—this level of sneak attack was far inferior even to Little Purple's dashes!
"I'll show you something big!"
While dodging the shield strike, Lu Xing's body suddenly soared higher in mid-air.
Heimdall's "wound" was large, but not large enough to accommodate Lu Xing's passage; he prepared to use the strongest move he currently mastered to directly insert it into Heimdall's interior and detonate it!
[Honkai Lance Projection]
"Zing!"
A stream of light shone, a river of stars tilting the heavens!
This was, to date, the maximum amount of Honkai energy Lu Xing had ever condensed, already approaching the consumption level of [Space-Time Rend] in magnitude!
The pitch-black halo flashed wildly.
Brilliant radiance condensed in the air into a soul-stirring lance, heading towards the opening below that the Knight Captain had helped create—
"Whoosh!"
"BOOM!!!"
————
While Lu Xing intercepted Heimdall, the Loli Demon God, his temporary teammate, was not idle either.
Symmetrically positioned dark red coffins appeared on either side of the Loli Demon God.
Amidst the surging, wave-like Honkai energy, the coffins rapidly transformed into the appearance of "Undead Deadmen"; then, the Undead Deadmen continued the nesting doll-like process, and from four new coffins, Guardian Deadmen of Lv.20, the same level as the Undead Deadmen, emerged.
These Guardian Deadmen were somewhat different from the one standing behind the Loli Demon God.
Although their level was higher than the latter, their strength wasn't necessarily greater than the Guardian Deadman transformed from a human—the patterns formed by Honkai energy on their summoned bodies were not red, but a dull gold.
The difference was like that between ordinary and elite.
As soon as these Guardian Deadmen appeared, they immediately charged towards the human squads that were surrounding them from a short distance away.
The advantage was on the Loli Demon God's side.
Although Lu Xing was concentrating on battling Heimdall, he hadn't completely given up on monitoring the situation on the other half of the battlefield.
His original intention was to prevent this teammate of unknown origin from launching a sneak attack.
And incidentally, to prevent her from kicking the bucket too quickly—but during the battle, Lu Xing discovered that this Loli Demon God didn't need him to worry at all.
The human side's attacks were considerably weak.
Or rather, they were very apprehensive about using high-powered weapons—just like the missiles previously fired by Heimdall, their power was far below what it should have been—this was clearly done to protect the integrity of the "test subject."
However, this apprehension became the Loli Demon God's capital for arrogance.
"Ahhh—"
A high-pitched, exaggeratedly sharp shriek came from the Loli Demon God's mouth.
A gold-red circular halo appeared in front of her, and the slowly rotating "magic circle" combined unknown energy from the surrounding atmosphere with the Loli Demon God's own Honkai energy, gradually converging into a highly concentrated pitch-black sphere.
"Hum!"
"Boom!!"
The Undead Deadmen also replicated the Loli Demon God's move.
Three pitch-black beams pierced through the crowd. Apart from a very few humans (possibly Fusion Soldiers), the vast majority of humans swept by the beams turned into carbonized ash, directly dissipating into the cold air currents with the autumn wind.
The Loli Demon God's targeting was extremely precise.
Almost all humans holding (but not using) high-powered combat weapons were wiped out by her first wave of attacks.
Next.
The Guardian Deadmen charging into the crowd launched their assault on ordinary humans—scythes condensed from Honkai energy sliced through flesh with no more difficulty than cutting tofu—it was a complete massacre.
Apart from Heimdall.
The number of human troops that rushed over at the first moment wasn't large, and moreover, they all looked injured—they had clearly been temporarily conscripted after retreating from the frontline battlefield with Heimdall, otherwise, their condition wouldn't be so poor.
This whole set of actions, smooth as flowing water and moving clouds, was completed while Lu Xing was charging towards Heimdall. Her exaggerated proficiency was completely unlike that of a "newborn" Deadman.
By the time Lu Xing's [Honkai Lance Projection] pierced into Heimdall's body, the Loli Demon God had already finished condensing a new [Dark Energy Ray].
Together with the two Undead Deadmen, the condensed, pitch-black, spiraling energy cannon shot straight towards Heimdall's damaged area!
Lu Xing would call this move:
"Special Beam Cannon!"
————
"Tszzz!!"
A hemispherical matrix energy shield spread out in front of Heimdall.
The pitch-black beam burst apart. The chasm in levels meant that this seemingly powerful attack couldn't even break through its defense.
A slight delay, better than nothing.
Although Lu Xing had caused Heimdall considerable trouble, with the current level of attack, he still couldn't secure victory.
What remained...
"Buzz!"
Lu Xing executed an S-maneuver to dodge the rapidly approaching beam of light.
The funnels installed in the giant shield launched a silent sneak attack—don't mind that Lu Xing hadn't identified any information from Heimdall; he was already crystal clear about its moves.
And even if Lu Xing wasn't a Sanbengzi player.
After seeing its mech design, which was at least 75% similar to "Big Green Pepper," he should have thought to dodge the funnel attacks.
The S-maneuver sacrificed altitude advantage.
But while evading the funnel's beam shots, it provided Lu Xing with superb acceleration.
"Bang!!"
A circular shockwave rippled outwards in layers!
Taking this opportunity, Lu Xing once again pushed his speed to the extreme!
Towards the opening widened by the [Honkai Lance Projection], the Great Universe, with wings folded, shot straight into it like a speeding, sharp arrow!
In an instant—
"BOOM!!"
