Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 993 - 689: The Out-of-Control Elf (Part 2)

My sister's level of Spiritual Energy is becoming stronger, but also more dangerous.

I have never crossed any forbidden zone, yet under the influence of her thoughts, I feel as though I have...

"Nothing will happen... nothing will happen..." The elf can only gently hold her sister's hand, striving to use her own Spiritual Energy to calm the increasingly turbulent waves.

...

"Let's move."

The elf received a signal from the human allies.

Alice respectfully approached the throne and asked, "Master, we... can move now."

Upon hearing this, the elf, whose consciousness was almost foggy, slowly opened her star-like eyes.

The gradually exciting battle spirit began to drive away the burgeoning lust in her eyes.

She slowly rose from the throne, the loose, slippery robe sliding off her body.

"Zing..." The battle sword reflected a dazzling cold light as the elf walked barefoot towards the front.

"Kill!"

Bugs are the enemy of Bai E.

And almost simultaneously, a mutation occurred.

All the dark elves in the hall, whether they were the perpetrators "creating" or the leisurely audience, almost at the same moment, their bodies slightly stiffened.

The careless or cruelly joyful expressions on their faces instantly solidified, replaced by a touch of shock that was hard to conceal and... some deeper, odd stirred emotion.

Their gazes, without prior agreement, turned to the direction under the hall floor, towards the Mine Star battlefield.

There, at the center of the Star Domain cloaked by insect fleets, explosive flames, and despair, a point of blue-white light was growing increasingly bright!

It wasn't the light from the battleship engine, nor the light from explosions.

It was a more pure, more restrained, yet seemingly containing endless potential, Spiritual Energy radiance!

It originated from the blue-white mecha "Star Emperor" that was struggling to shuttle through the insect swarm, trying to break through the blockade.

Just now, when the power of faith from the Mine Star populace converged on Bai E, resonating with his own Spiritual Energy and the attributes of an "Insect Race Killer," his Spiritual Body in the high-dimensional space underwent a subtle yet essential change.

Though not nearly at the scale of Karian, the Spiritual Energy fused with firm faith, protective will, and the attributes of an "Insect Race Killer" attained a remarkable level of purity and uniqueness.

For the keen-sensed dark elves, who were born with deep connections to Spiritual Energy and high dimensions, this change was like casting a glowing pearl into the silent deep sea; even if the light wasn't dazzling, its unique frequency and taste pierced through the barriers of matter and Spiritual Energy, making it clearly perceived by them.

That light... carried a flavor that made them feel incredibly familiar yet had been lost for countless ages. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

It was... the flavor of the sun.

Warm, steadfast, dispelling darkness, bringing order and vitality...

Quite the opposite of the chaos, decadence, and despair pervasive in this current universe.

It was the afterglow of the "Silver Age" from the previous era, belonging to the glorious, orderly, yet the most despairing for these "alien races" remembered.

"This is..." Prince Shadow Blade suddenly sat upright from the throne, the crystal goblet in his hand silently slipped, shattering upon the soft animal pelt floor, the dark red liquid spreading like blood.

But he paid no heed, his deep purple eyes fiercely locked onto that distant point of blue-white light, full of disbelief and a... nearly greedy complex expression.

"How could it be... in this era... in this corner..." he murmured softly, his voice tinged with a scarcely detectable tremor.

The other dark elves also fell into brief silence.

The hall was left with only the faint groans of dying starbeasts.

The thrill brought by that bloody "art" appeared so pale and cheap in the face of this soul-deep shock and heartbeat.

Alice turned her head back, the cruel joy on her face vanished, replaced by intense solemnity and curiosity: "Your Highness... what is that? Why... do I feel it..."

"'Dazzling,' right?" Prince Shadow Blade took her words, his lips curling into a peculiar and dangerous arc, no longer laced with previous laziness and apathy, but full of the excitement of discovering prey.

"Dazzling enough... to make you want to approach, want to touch, want to... see to what extent it can burn, and when, and how it will extinguish."

He slowly rose, his slender figure casting a shadow in the dim hall.

"Master..." Prince Shadow Blade turned to the throne, intending to inform that mysterious and sudden fellow of the "sun's" danger to their elves, only to find the master's shadow absent from the throne.

"Where is the master?"

"Already out?" Some elves saw the powerful fellow's figure within the transparent floor.

"It seems our master is more interested in him than in us..." Prince Shadow Blade's lips curled in an arc, "Then what are we waiting for? Forward!"

...

The dark elf fleet began to glide silently like phantoms towards the edge of the Mine Star battlefield.

Their arrival went unnoticed by both warring parties.

The bugs remained focused on their warfare tactics, while the Mine Star side was already nearing its limit.

Bai E was oblivious to the dark elves' attention.

He was perfectly fusing the power of faith from the Mine Star populace with his own Spiritual Energy and battle will.

A faint golden halo, like dawn, began to flow around the blue-white "Star Emperor" mecha.

Although not nearly as brilliant as the "light wings" during Karian's time, it made the mecha's movements more agile, and the Armor-breaking Spirit Light on the Devouring Star Blade grew more refined.

He still couldn't easily break through the bugs' blockade, nor quickly slay the giant ships.

But, at this moment, his battle will burned fiercer than ever.

Because he was not fighting alone.

Behind him was his homeland, his people whom he promised to protect.

Every piece of conveyed faith was a heavy entrustment and an unallowable responsibility.

"Come," Bai E whispered in his heart, the Devouring Star Blade in the mecha's grip pointed towards the advancing giant bug ships, its blade faintly shimmering with golden-white light.

"Surpass me, then talk about death."

He no longer fixated on impossible rampage strikes but shifted his focus to the tide-like swarming floating creatures and insect guard units.

The Devouring Star Blade, under the blessing of golden-white light, danced with refined blade light trajectories.

Bai E no longer sought fatal harm to the giant ships but concentrated his power on rapid, precise point kills and area sweeps.

His mecha shuttled through the insect swarms, each flash of blade light silently annihilating pieces of floating creatures or accurately severing the vital points of sneaky elite bugs.

He operated like a high-efficiency purifying machine, tearing open one temporary "clear-zone" after another within the bug's precisely arranged harassment network.

The orbital defensive pressure of Mine Star lightened for a moment.

The remaining Seventh Legion's battle ships and defense platforms seized the chance, reorganized formations, and concentrated fire on the weak points of the bug giant ships exposed by the reduced floating creatures.

The battle situation seemed to have a faint turnaround, amidst the atmosphere of despair, a breath of respite emerged.

The observing Peak Alliance executives saw this scene, furrowed brows.

"He's still holding... even seems... a bit stronger?" Someone was incredulous.

"What about those elves?! Wasn't it said they should act by now!" An icy gaze locked fiercely onto that shimmering blue-white figure on the tactical screen, lowly growling.

But in fact, the order had long been sent via hidden channels to the edge of the battlefield where several strangely shaped dark elf ships were.

"They say... they've already moved." The personnel receiving the reply reported.
