193: Skitarii: Sisters of Battle

A look of solemnity appeared in Lin Feng's eyes.

The flickering ashes were no longer merely excited; they now carried a hint of wariness in the face of an unknown powerful enemy.

The power, fused with the Angel's Projection, had essentially touched a higher level of Rule!

The viscous gray force field around him automatically activated, emitting a strained 'creaking' sound under the opponent's divine pressure.

"Blasphemer."

"Anglieus" spoke, his voice overlapping Anglieus' original tone with a grander, colder will, like thunder rolling through clouds.

"Your sins shall be met with divine punishment, utterly destroying your form and spirit!"

The Holy Light Greatsword slowly rose, its tip pointing at Lin Feng.

With just a simple movement, space let out a tearing wail; where the sword's edge pointed, the turbid air was completely purified, leaving a vacuum-like trail!

True divine punishment was about to descend!

And it was at this critical moment of high tension, with gods and demons in confrontation... "Buzz!"

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A distinctly different, peculiar hum, accompanied by metallic resonance and choral harmonies, came from the direction of the city gate at the edge of the Holy City, which had been temporarily submerged by the Fallen Creature torrent!

Immediately following were heavy, uniform footsteps, like war drums beating!

The ground was shaking!

The purplish-red sky, where the turbid blood-light shrouding the Vatican and the Holy Light confronted each other, was torn apart by a sudden, more intense, more mechanized, and more orderly silver-white radiance!

That was an army!

Their numbers were not very large, about a hundred, but each individual exuded a unique, unsettling aura that combined divinity and steel!

They wore full-body, streamlined silver-white mechanical battle armor, its surface etched with intricate Holy Light runes, which now flickered like breathing, flowing with liquid Holy Light energy.

On their backs, they carried huge, complex Holy Light energy cores, spread out like wings, providing surging power.

They wore no helmets; their faces were covered by a thin energy veil made of Holy Light, vaguely revealing cold and resolute feminine contours beneath.

Most striking were the weapons they held!

These were not traditional holy swords or staves, but massive firearms with a futuristic, high-tech design!

Holy Light runes coiled around the thick, long barrels, and at the muzzle, a terrifyingly high concentration of Holy Light energy gathered, like a volcano about to erupt!

"Battle Sister Squad, by divine decree, purify the heretics!"

A cold, unwavering, almost mechanically synthesized female voice, amplified by some device, clearly resounded across the battlefield.

The voice was not loud, yet it carried an iron-blooded sense of order, instantly overriding the chaotic roars on the battlefield.

They moved extremely fast; the heavy mechanical battle armor did not hinder their steps. Instead, propelled by Holy Light energy, each stride covered several meters, like an iron torrent crushing the debris and scattered Fallen Creatures on the streets.

Those Fallen Creatures blocking their path, whether vengeful spirits, flesh worms, or twisted treants, were instantly vaporized by the high-energy Holy Light rays, like laser torrents, shot from their uniquely shaped Holy Light firearms before they could even get close!

The rays were not only immensely powerful but also contained a Power of Rule of "Order Annihilation," which had a strong restraining effect on chaotic Fallen Creatures!

The Holy Light runes on the leading sister's battle armor were the most resplendent, and her firearm was the largest, with an energy light sphere at its muzzle like a small sun.

Her cold gaze swept over the scarred Holy City, finally settling on the center of the god-demon confrontation in the sky, locking onto Lin Feng, who was enveloped in defiling shadows.

Without any hesitation, she raised her arm, pointing the massive muzzle at Lin Feng. The Holy Light energy sphere gathered at the muzzle instantly surged in brightness!

"Target locked: Highest priority heretic — Lin Feng! Executing purification protocol: Spear of Divine Punishment!"

Buzz!

A pure white Holy Light ray, condensed to the extreme, only arm-thick, yet exuding destructive fluctuations, shot forth like a spear of judgment tearing through darkness, ignoring spatial distance, carrying an absolute will to annihilate all heresy and defilement, blasting towards Lin Feng's heart!

At the same time, the Holy Light Greatsword in the hands of "Anglieus" in the sky, fused with angelic power, finally finished charging. With the magnificent divine might to judge all heavens and purify all realms, it slashed down directly at Lin Feng!

With the Spear of Divine Punishment from the front and the Angelic Holy Sword from above!

Lin Feng was instantly caught in an unprecedented deadly trap!

The shadows beneath him churned violently, the light in his Ash Eyes surged, facing this highest-level encirclement from the Holy Faction, the viscous gray force field around him was compressed to its extreme, emitting a strained wail!

"Heh... this is getting interesting."

Lin Feng's deep voice resonated in this desperate situation, not with fear, but with a hint of ignited, even more fanatical fighting spirit.

He suddenly clenched his hands outwards, and the space in front of him twisted and folded violently, like water into which a stone had been thrown!

The viscous gray force field was no longer merely defensive; it transformed into countless wildly writhing gray tentacles made of decaying rules, meeting the destructive attack filled with purifying power!

The true collision erupted with a roar above the ruins of the Holy City, in the ultimate showdown between divinity and corruption!

"Boom!!!"

The first to collide with the gray tentacles was the "Spear of Divine Punishment" from the ground! That pure white Holy Light ray, condensed to the extreme, carrying an absolute will to annihilate all heresy and defilement, instantly pierced into the surging gray tide!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a grating sound of intense friction and annihilation at the rule level!

The "Order Annihilation" rule contained within the Holy Light ray and the "Decay and Decline" rule within the gray tentacles clashed and dissolved violently, like fire and water!

The pure white beam pushed forward with difficulty through the viscous gray, each advance accompanied by the disintegration of large swathes of gray tentacles, turning into nihility and dust.

But at the same time, the invincible Holy Light was also being rapidly polluted, eroded, and decayed!

The sacred radiance visibly dimmed, its edges even beginning to show an ominous gray pallor!

The beam's diameter also rapidly shrank, its terrifying energy being frantically "rotted" and devoured by the gray force field!

The Angelic Holy Sword from the sky had also descended!

The magnificent divine might was like the sky collapsing, the Holy Light Rule that purified all things condensed into a tangible giant blade, locking onto Lin Feng's head!

Space wailed and shattered beneath the sword's edge!

The light in Lin Feng's Ash Eyes surged, and within the depths of his pupils, countless ashes seemed to whirl madly.

He split half his mind, controlling another portion of gray tentacles, like a massive gray python swimming against the current, brazenly slamming into the descending Holy Light Greatsword!

"Sizzle!!!"

This collision was even more terrifying!

The Holy Light Greatsword carried the divine will to purify all defilement, while the gray tentacles represented the ultimate destination of all things: decay!

Two completely opposite, yet supremely powerful, Powers of Rule, erupted in a destructive conflict the moment they made contact!

Blinding white light and profound gray darkness intertwined, devoured, and annihilated each other!

At the center of the collision, space shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, revealing the chaotic and violent void turbulence behind it!

The shockwave, like a tangible giant ring, swept in all directions at a terrifying, supersonic speed!

Rumble!!!

Wherever the shockwave passed, the already crumbling ruins instantly turned to dust!

The low-level Fallen Creatures and converted monsters fighting on the ground, whether flesh-and-blood or energy bodies, immediately disintegrated and vanished like sand sculptures if caught by this shockwave containing the Power of Rule of annihilation!

They didn't even have time to scream!

Even the Battle Sister Squad, who had just charged into the battlefield with imposing momentum, were shaken unstable by this sudden terrifying impact. The Holy Light runes on their mechanical battle armor flickered violently, emitting piercing alarm sounds.

The "Spear of Divine Punishment" fired by the leading sister was completely interrupted, its muzzle energy core overloaded, emitting wisps of smoke.

"Anglieus" in the sky vibrated his four wings slightly, his divine halo dispersing the shockwave, his body remaining perfectly still, but the cold will in his eyes also flickered with a barely perceptible ripple.

He clearly hadn't expected that this "blasphemer" shrouded in defiling power could comprehend and wield rules to such an extent, actually resisting a double-kill!
