Chapter 112

One could see his thoughts very clearly.

By that time, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden troops would be mass-produced Herrschers with varied means, not restricted to just one type.

That is true multi-dimensional power!

And Esdeath also engaged in direct combat with her.

In just a single instant!

The violent power of shadow and the power of ice and snow collided, setting off boundless shocks. The atmosphere shook, and the momentum was astonishing, causing those female androids to immediately retreat and avoid the area.

And in the center of that energy field, both sides continued to launch attacks.

Esdeath created many large ice spike pillars, floating around her, and then waved her hand to kill through the air. As a result, A2 released the invisible and diffusing power of the Herrscher of Shadow authority, circling these ice spike pillars.

Some, although pierced through, were like scattered shadows, quickly re-gathering.

Unharmed.

And rushed toward Esdeath.

This took her by surprise. Bizarre power.

But so what.

She released the ice power of a large-scale freezing area, freezing all those shadow powers into ice blocks.

This made A2 also hum with a laugh.

"This is just the beginning, oh."

A2 then created quite a few shadow spears and made them attack automatically.

This tactic, which was very similar to her own, made Esdeath a little dismissive. Logically speaking, your way of using power should be more advanced than mine. It seems this is all there is to it.

Her warlike heart suddenly increased, and the corners of her mouth lifted.

Since that was the case, fine, then let’s bombard each other.

As a result, contrary to Esdeath’s expectations, some of those shadow spears suddenly turned into small spatial vortices, and the suction generated pulled all her ice into them, while the other shadow spears escaped into space and disappeared.

When they appeared again, they were already in front of her.

Esdeath was so scared that cold sweat broke out, and she hurriedly activated freezing!

Yet those spears, under A2’s command, were faster than her, directly starting to turn into spatial cores and exploding with a roar!

In the smoke of the explosion, a figure was blasted back rapidly. Yet A2’s shadow power turned into several ribbon-like things, just waiting for this opportunity, directly shuttling through space, crossing a long distance, and binding Esdeath up.

Making her struggle constantly.

Very clearly.

This was the use of [Shadow Illusion · Spear of Void] and [Void Band] similar to the power of the Herrscher of Void.

Transforming all phenomena with shadow illusions!

Spatial type against ice type; Esdeath naturally suffered quite a few losses in the first battle.

After all, compared to other android troops, A2 was originally similar to a lively, talkative, and very cute 2B, so Su Han discovered that among all the androids, she was becoming more and more like a human.

Constantly shifting in this direction.

It was estimated that she would be the first to become a human, faster than 2B.

So the Herrscher project was becoming increasingly powerful on her. Su Han also taught her various developments and usages, and on top of that, A2 had long since stepped onto the Path. With multi-faceted superposition, her strength was naturally outstanding.

Not using power rigidly, but converting flexibly.

For example, now.

After Esdeath broke out, she broke through the restraints, and there was no fluctuation in A2’s eyes. After all, she could actually turn the [Shadow Illusion · Void Band] into another effect, which was to possess extremely strong cutting ability.

But since it was a sparring match, there was no need.

Otherwise, that move just now.

Would definitely have broken Esdeath’s defenses and made her bleed.

And she gave a hehe laugh, summoned the power of shadow, and gradually converted it into a large amount of ice and snow crystals exuding chill around herself. Although it still carried quite a bit of the black meaning of shadow, it still shocked Esdeath.

"Even ice can be transformed?"

"Of course, and this is thanks to you. The blueprint data of the principles, such as how your ice-type Teigu [Demon's Extract] operates energy, its specific structure and circulation, and the reactions it produces, have all been analyzed by Lord Su Han and passed to me."

"So I simulated it a little. Not bad, right?"

Esdeath: ...

"Hehehe, Esdeath-chan, so today, I want to tell you a fact: the times have changed!"

"Because what I am showing will be a more advanced version of your ability."

She blinked her beautiful eyes, appearing quite mischievous and cute.

"If you get bullied by me or something, you shouldn't blame me, right?"

"Of course not."

As a result, Esdeath saw the ice spikes around the other party not being released immediately, but starting to rotate at high speed with changes she couldn't understand, making her feel uneasy.

And the next moment.

Those ice spikes disappeared instantly, and the sound of air explosions rose, and the ground also produced a huge impact, making her hair stand on end.

She hurriedly released an ice wall to block.

As a result, Esdeath’s pupils dilated; five layers of ice walls in a row were pierced by the small ice spikes, and they even went through to the back.

It was fortunate that it didn't hit her.

But even though she had defended like this.

The city walls of the Empire were far less thick than her ice, and there were multiple layers.

As a result, it actually...

Truly terrifying.

The power was far stronger than her own ice.

And the attack wasn't over yet.

Esdeath started sweating and dodging constantly. Sometimes the ice ramparts she created were huge and wide-ranging, but under the impact of the other party’s attack, they all shattered at once.

Being purely large was completely useless.

Quality had to be improved.

The ice on the opponent’s side underwent various processing that left her confused, causing her to be blasted away in the impact, and even after being hit next, her whole body shattered into ice blocks.

Then Esdeath appeared on the other side.

She looked at this scene with lingering fear.

This was a new skill she had developed, Ice God Phantom Body; otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have fared well just now, and might even have been wiped out directly.

And A2 also had an "as expected" expression.

"As I expected, Esdeath, you do have the ability to save your life."

After all, Esdeath was not the kind of person to stop moving forward.

In fact, when she was imprisoned by Su Han, she had been thinking painfully.

As a result, she was still beaten like this today.

And in the following, very soon, Esdeath’s Ice Storm General was also wiped out. Those ice cavalrymen were gone in an instant, and the impact generated was enough to blow away the huge and exaggerated battlefield.

But here, the aftermath was absorbed by the energy shield on the field.

This left Esdeath stunned, because she had already been surrounded by the other party’s ice spears.

Very clearly, she had lost.

And A2 also put away these ice, no longer converting them. She came to Esdeath’s front.

"Are you okay?"

"I shouldn't have hit you too hard, right? Currently, I am the only one who can additionally convert this kind of ice effect. After all, for others, just mastering the original power is enough for them to study."

"Actually, the ice wall you created is very large, but it doesn't mean that big is necessarily good. I suppose you have realized that."

"For example, in the galaxy, small weapons made of strong interaction materials can easily destroy countless fleets of backward civilizations, and some can even use artificial imaginary gravity fields to directly press out stronger materials."

In terms of size, the two sides were vastly different.

It wasn't just generally exaggerated.

But the one with stronger materials could win.

"And, I feel you have great potential, but you still need to develop, just like a piece of raw jade."

"And you give me a feeling that you are still hiding something. Are there other moves? I want to see."
