Chapter 23: Pure White Moon Ring, Still Clear Water Realm : Edge of Taixuan

The imposing [Mimicry · Black Abyss White Flower] displayed remarkable power, seemingly consuming a considerable amount of energy from Void Archives to sustain its existence.

The other Soulium bodies that had been active retracted into the void, leaving the half-crippled Mimicry Judah still dutifully projecting golden spears.

Luo Lin unleashed a volley of bullets, shattering all the spears it launched, and shouted, "You guys deal with that Holy Spear!"

In response to her command, everyone turned their guns towards the increasingly dangerous Mimicry Judah, intensifying their output.

Luo Lin smashed the spears launched by two Judas, grabbed the Soulium short sword behind her, lowered her body, and rushed towards Mimicry Judah.

The golden cross seemed to recognize who posed a greater threat and split apart entirely, with a series of golden lights enveloping Luo Lin from all directions—

"Clang clang!"

[Edge of Taixuan - Sky Breaker]

With ample corrupt energy supply, Luo Lin felt surprised by the sharp sword energy emanating from her short sword, deflecting all the incoming attacks, even making her previously cautious evasion seem excessive.

When did Edge of Taixuan become stronger?

The doubt only lasted for a short time. The buzzing of the [Moon Ring] on Luo Lin's arm provided her with the answer—after this period of battle, the adaptive module installed on the [Moon Ring] had collected her data and started optimizing combat effectiveness comprehensively.

Luo Lin quickened her pace, raised her short sword, and aimed for the cracks on Mimicry Judah's body, stabbing into it!

Already severely damaged, Mimicry Judah fragmented from the center around the sword tip, dispersing into the air.

At the moment of Mimicry Judah's disintegration, Void Archives staggered, and the cubic shield around his body fluctuated!

"Continue the attack!"

Sharp-eyed Bronya naturally didn't ignore this anomaly.

She realized that these Mimic Humanoids had some connection with Void Archives.

As long as they were destroyed, Void Archives would also be impacted.

Himeko even activated the overload mode of the Labor of Olympus again. Amidst the alarms, the red greatsword extended once more, striking heavily on [Mimicry · Black Abyss White Flower].

With her attack, the fluctuations around Void Archives's shield became more pronounced, even precarious.

"Be careful!"

Bronya adjusted the structure of the energy gun in her hand, gritted her teeth, and activated the overload mode of the [Moon Ring]. The bird-shaped drones split under her control, forming an exaggerated blue light film at the muzzle.

The next second, a thick laser beam enveloped the Mimicry Divine Key, even triggering a sizable explosion!

[Mimicry · Black Abyss White Flower] emerged from the smoke, transforming into a visible translucent form.

"I'll join too, Captain!"

Timido slid over, took a deep breath, lifted her thigh, gathered corrupt energy on her ice blade, and then spun around like a dance.

The cold tornado swept over the Mimicry Holy Spear, combining with the flames of the Mutara Himeko, turning the battlefield into a mix of ice and fire.

The intense alternation of cold and heat had an unexpected effect. [Mimicry · Black Abyss White Flower] made crisp sounds as it broke into two pieces from the middle.

At the same time, the cubic shield around Void Archives shattered simultaneously, and the whole person smoked as it fell to the ground.

"The accuracy of the Mimicry Divine Key is starting to decline... It seems that the damage done on my body by you guys is higher than expected." Void Archives's tone was somewhat complex. "I never thought you could apply the technology of the Selene to this extent now... [Moon Ring]..."

Bronya didn't bother to talk and directly fired a series of energy blasts at Void Archives's face, smashing its head high up, presenting a melted appearance on its half-Soulium face.

Himeko and Timido simultaneously struck, severing Void Archives's limbs, but it still remained suspended in the air by some mysterious force.

Himeko frowned, waved her arm, and the Labor of Olympus descended, slicing the remaining Soulium body in half. Now, the wreckage lost all buoyancy, crashing to the ground, motionless.

But...

"It's not over yet?" Timido asked softly.

"Be careful of its true body—"

The golden cubic emerged silently, but Luo Lin and the others felt a heavy pressure opposite to it—

[Mimicry · Star of Eden]!

The dangerous gravitational ball suddenly condensed and rolled towards everyone. The ground shattered under the gravitational force, and the buildings and metal debris on the Lionhead Bay Bridge whistled into the [Mimicry · Star of Eden]!

"Ah!"

Timido screamed, struggling to resist the sudden suction. Himeko could only insert her weapon in front of herself, forcibly stopping her movement.

Bronya, on the other hand, was some distance away from the Mimicry Divine Key and quickly moved out of the range of the gravitational ball's influence.

However, all the energy blasts she fired were blocked by the debris being attracted, leaving her somewhat helpless for a moment.

At this moment, Luo Lin, who had gone out to deal with Mimicry Judah, had moved away from the previous battlefield.

She found herself unexpectedly the closest to Void Archives now!

So the girl raised her gun and fired, but Void Archives still had enough strength to gather a shield, although the shield was already flickering, the mimicry bullets still couldn't take it down!

Mockingly, Void Archives projected a few spears at her, all of which Luo Lin blocked with her sword.

Since bullets couldn't penetrate, then switch to melee—

Luo Lin discarded her assault rifle, gripped the hilt of the Soulium short sword with both hands, and honkai energy poured into the sword like a flood, solidifying into almost substantial sharpness at the top!

The [Moon Ring] vibrated, and the originally red translucent crystal turned into a crystal clear white—that was Luo Lin's exclusive amplification form!

[White Heat Mode] activated!

Luo Lin felt as if she were flying close to the ground. Her body blurred into a black shadow, deflecting Void Archives'vattacks behind her, and she arrived at the attack position in an instant.

At this moment, Luo Lin's mood was surprisingly calm, with nothing on her mind except the target!

—The gate of [Blade Mantra] opened wide, she took a step forward, entering the [Clear Water] domain!

The white sharpness at the tip of the sword completely solidified, even pulling out a few silver-white arcs of lightning!

Void Archives immediately sensed something, "Edge of Taixuan? do you still have a connection with Hua—"

Luo Lin's eyes were cold, and she thrust her sword tip forward at the crack in the shield!

"Crack!"

[Victory in Battle!]
