Chapter 464

Even in the worst-case scenario, with a single thought, he could immediately synchronize with the source of Omegamon Alter-A X, or simply swipe a card to transform.

However, since Asiria had already taken action, there was no need to resort to these backup plans.

Asiria's performance here also served to prove her combat caliber.

Although she appeared cold and indifferent to everything around her, her combat prowess was truly top-notch.

Facing Lu Li's thanks, Asiria didn't show much of a reaction; after resolving the sneak attack from the Flesh Nest, she returned to her standby state.

Seeing this, Lu Li didn't say much more, instead turning his gaze to Seraphim: "Is there a way to pinpoint the core location of the Flesh Nest?"

Having fought against the opponent for so many years, even if he didn't know the Flesh Nest inside and out, Lu Li felt that Seraphim couldn't possibly be ignorant of even this.

"It's quite difficult to determine," Seraphim responded quickly upon hearing Lu Li's inquiry. "However, over these many years, even if the core of this monster progenitor shifts, it would likely move to places like the Academy, the Central District, or the Gangwan District."

These locations were the main core areas of the Boundary City, much like the Central Court, and also places where Artifact Users gathered in larger numbers.

"Once this monster progenitor sustains significant damage, it needs to absorb more energy to recover, and within the Boundary City, Artifact Users are the best supplements for it."

Hearing that the Flesh Nest regarded them and their peers as supplements, the expressions of the Artifact Users present turned extremely ugly. However, considering that the core of the Flesh Nest might have shifted to their base of operations, these Artifact Users left one after another to return to their respective strongholds.

"In that case, only by destroying the Flesh Nest's bodies in all these areas is it possible to eliminate this extraterrestrial beast?" Lu Li scanned the Artifact Users as they left one by one.

"This progenitor won't go to the White Night Pavilion," Xia said, understanding Lu Li's meaning in an instant. She blew a smoke ring and spoke with great composure.

She was a more special existence than Seraphim; if not for her very unique situation and the fact that she wasn't in her prime, a mere Flesh Nest could be wiped out by her with a flip of her hand.

"Alright!" This attitude of Xia's made Lu Li increasingly curious about what kind of identity she possessed, but these were not the priorities right now. The priority was to resolve the Flesh Nest before them and solve the root cause of the Boundary City's infinite restart cycle.

White Night Pavilion, Central Court, Academy, Eastern Ancient Street, Central District, Old Town, Research Institute, Gangwan Side City, Gangwan District—a total of nine areas.

The White Night Pavilion and Central Court could be ruled out; one was a place the Flesh Nest wouldn't visit, and the other had already been completely erased by Omegamon Alter-A X.

"Then that leaves 7 areas," Lu Li calculated silently in his heart, and a number of Magic Cards appeared in his hand: "It seems I need to add some manpower."

The strength of the Boundary City's Artifact Users wasn't lacking, but when it came to top-tier combat, Lu Li only saw Asiria and Moonlight Bird Zero as meeting the criteria, and that was only after they awakened to reach the twelve-star level.

As for the other Artifact Users, they were quite a bit behind.

Even adding Omegamon Alter-A X and Baosi, there were only four twelve-star level existences.

Although there would be no problem sweeping through the areas one by one, Lu Li didn't want to continue wasting time, and who knew if a situation where "delay leads to changes" might occur.

Therefore, naturally, destroying all the Flesh Nest's areas at once was the best approach.

Naturally, this required calling for backup.

And for a Magic Card Master, the thing they lacked least was calling for backup; they were very familiar with this aspect.

Throwing out the Magic Cards in his hand, the next moment, Mortis Beast, Illustrious, and Kisara appeared by Lu Li's side.

Besides that, the figure of Daji also appeared within the Boundary City.

Seeing Lu Li summon several strangers with a wave of his hand, Antoneva, Aemusha, and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes, and even Moonlight Bird Zero looked on with interest.

The only ones without much reaction were Seraphim, Xia, and Asiria—the three women who had already met him, hadn't forgotten him due to the Boundary City's cycle restarts, and still possessed memories of the Magic Card Master.

"You should all know what to do next," Lu Li said, looking at the summoned women.

"Of course, Commander, I will provide support," the first to speak was Illustrious. As the words of this armored aircraft carrier ship-girl fell, she had already deployed her sea area and simultaneously activated her own skills.

Adaptive Armored Princess, deploy!

Crack, crack—countless patterns extended on the flight deck in Illustrious's hands, eventually turning into tiny parts that attached to her body, forming a beautiful set of battle armor. She transformed into a machine-girl straight out of an anime, looking absolutely stunning.

Correspondingly, Illustrious's level jumped directly from seven-star, skipping several tiers to reach eleven-star; the magnitude of this leap was astonishing.

However, this was not the end; it was merely the beginning of Illustrious's increase in strength.

873, Aerospace Carrier Princess Illustrious!

After transforming into a Princess, Illustrious's strength surged from seven-star to eleven-star, crossing four levels in succession; such an increase in strength could be described as very eye-catching.

But an eleven-star level combat power alone was not enough for Illustrious to deal with the Flesh Nest, yet this did not mean Illustrious's increase in strength stopped there.

Ship Body Construction!

Technology Core Sea Fog! Activate!

As Illustrious activated the Ship Body Construction skill, the armor covering her body seemed to come alive, permeating every part of her body and, using this as a center, continuously spreading outward. In the blink of an eye, it covered the entire sky above the Central Court.

If it continued to spread like this, perhaps the scale of Illustrious's ship construction this time would be enough to match the size of the Flesh Nest.

However, after covering the sky above the Central Court, the armor stopped expanding outward and instead deformed and combined at an extremely fast speed. Eventually, a massive aerospace carrier appeared before everyone's eyes.

The giant ship flying in the sky, with its sea, land, and air combat capabilities, was enough for this behemoth to reach every area in a very short time.

On the aerospace carrier, the engines of the carrier-based aircraft were already emitting roars; with a single order, these aircraft could take off at any time to provide support to various areas of the Boundary City.

Not only did it possess a large number of carrier-based aircraft, but the aerospace carrier was also covered in ship guns that were dozens of meters long just in barrel length, full of a sense of technology and flashing with a chilling intent.

Even if all the carrier-based aircraft were sent out, this aerospace carrier still possessed extremely powerful destructive force.

【Illustrious】 (Characteristic Activating)

Race: Princess

Quality: Mythical

Level: Twelve-star

Skills: Sea Area Deployment, Ship Body Construction, Dream of the Nether Butterfly, Unavoidable Fate, Creed of Resentment and Repayment, Persistence of Guardian Bonds

Dream of the Nether Butterfly: During the period when the self-summoned carrier-based aircraft launch an airstrike, if there are friendly units in the airstrike area, all damage taken by the friendly units will be shared by the carrier-based aircraft.

Unavoidable Fate: When launching an airstrike, 100% reduce the action points of targets in the hit area. All hit units cannot move, defend, or counterattack for three seconds, while simultaneously reducing the hit units' defense by a percentage that ignores defense.

Creed of Resentment and Repayment: While alive, when friendly units are attacked, stack one layer of 【Glory Value】 for the self, up to 9 layers; when launching an airstrike, all 【Glory Value】 can be consumed to trigger a round of enhanced aviation barrage, and the triggered enhanced aviation barrage is guaranteed to cause double damage.

Persistence of Guardian Bonds: At the start of combat, guaranteed to obtain air superiority, all friendly units' attributes increased by 10%, and obtain a guardian shield that immunizes against 3 attacks; if air superiority is lost, all subsequent attacks by friendly units have their effects doubled, while simultaneously recovering to peak state.

After transforming into a Princess and constructing the ship equipment, while also activating her own Sea Fog characteristic, Illustrious's strength now also reached the twelve-star mythical level, placing her in the same tier as Omegamon Alter-A X.

Furthermore, compared to Omegamon Alter-A X, Illustrious remained as she always was, inheriting her original characteristics, with skills more inclined toward the support aspect.

Although there were no healing skills, the damage reduction granted by the skills meant that if a full set was applied, the enemy might not even be able to break through the defense.

Among Illustrious's skills, the "Unavoidable Fate" ability was somewhat similar to Omegamon Alter-A X's "Absolute Stasis." Although the time was shortened to only three seconds, it expanded to an area-of-effect attack, which could be considered to have its own merits compared to the single-point "Absolute Stasis."

As for the other skills, they also strengthened Illustrious in various aspects, which in a sense, fit Illustrious's positioning.

"Commander, then I shall take my leave first," after constructing the ship body, Illustrious bowed slightly to Lu Li, stepped back, and disappeared, returning inside the ship body.

The next moment, on the aerospace carrier, countless carrier-based aircraft took off violently from the runway, flying toward every direction of the Boundary City. The destinations of these aircraft were precisely the important locations within the Boundary City, which were also the cores of the Flesh Nest and the places most likely to have shifted.

After transforming into a Princess, Illustrious's attack range was once again terrifically increased. Even though the aerospace carrier as the main body remained in the sky above the Central Court, the dispatched carrier-based aircraft could directly cover every area of the entire Boundary City, attacking or providing support to these areas.

In other words, within the Boundary City, wherever the eye could see was within Illustrious's attack range.

"With Illustrious's support, even if the Artifact Users in these areas cannot deal much effective damage to the Flesh Nest, at the very least, there will be no problem with self-preservation." It wasn't that Lu Li cared so much about the life and death of these Artifact Users in the Boundary City; after all, except for the White Night Pavilion, the Central Court, and Nieve whom he met at the very beginning, Lu Li had no knowledge of the other Artifact Users.

But just because he didn't care didn't mean no one else did, such as Seraphim.

Right now, the Flesh Nest had been forced out by Seraphim using her authority, but if, during this process, the opponent became distracted because of the Artifact Users in the Boundary City and let the Flesh Nest run away, then the loss would outweigh the gain.

Glancing at Seraphim, who was clearly relieved, Lu Li withdrew his gaze and looked toward Kisara.

Among all the Magic Card Spirits he had created, if one were to ask who disliked combat the most, it would undoubtedly be Kisara.

"Master, I am ready," sensing Lu Li's gaze, a reassuring smile appeared on Kisara's face.

Although she didn't like fighting, the existence of Magic Card Spirits was to serve the Magic Card Master, so if it were Lu Li, Kisara would not refuse him.

As her voice fell, Kisara's figure emitted a gentle white light, which didn't bring a blinding feeling to anyone.

The white light dissipated, and Kisara's graceful figure had disappeared. Replacing her was the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which had already spread its wings and was floating in the sky.

The Sea of Life unfolded beneath Lu Li's feet. Feeling the rich life force within it, the native residents of the Boundary City present couldn't help but look sideways.

This life force was truly terrifying; if an ordinary person were to soak in it for a round, they would likely be cured of any illness and live to a ripe old age.

874, A figure comparable to a god! Ruling over all phenomena! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!

Roar!

The Blue-Eyes White Dragon let out a roar, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, it separated into two more figures.

However, these two dragon shadows looked somewhat stiff; they were just as imposing, but they didn't have the spirituality of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's main body, looking just like puppets.

【Emerald-shining pupils, claws that tear through heaven and earth, a silver meteor sliding across the sky, Fusion Summon! Descend here! Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!】

The Fusion Magic Card radiated terrifying fluctuations, and magic power lingered between the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and its replicas, forming a terrifying magic storm.

As time passed, the lingering magic storm did not weaken but instead continued to strengthen. For a moment, the people around couldn't help but retreat a short distance to barely withstand this surging magic storm.

The only ones who could remain in place were Seraphim and Xia—one was the god of the Boundary City, the world will of this place, and the other's strength was even more unclear, but at the very least, it wouldn't be any worse than Seraphim's.

Naturally, the momentum radiated by the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's fusion was not enough to affect these two.

Besides these two, the rest were Lu Li and the women associated with him.

As the Magic Card Master who was the master of the Magic Card Spirits, he naturally wouldn't be affected, and the women by Lu Li's side were also extraordinary in strength, equally capable of resisting the momentum generated by the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon's fusion.

Roar! Roar! Roar!
