Chapter 625 Defeated

Although the reason is unknown, it is clear that Eileen is very persistent in using a jumping slash to attack the enemy's lower body below the knees—of course, this may also be because she always encounters opponents who are much taller than her when she uses the jumping slash. After all, in her first battle 3,700 years ago, she encountered the Goddess of Omens, whose legs were longer than her life...

A chilling clattering sound echoed in the underground "parking lot." This vast space, expanded many times over due to alienation, seemed to be constantly impacted by an invisible force. Even the dome and the faintly visible boundary in the distance began to ripple. Eileen's figure kept shifting in and out of the real dimension—omen, doll, little bean...

Those who encounter her for the first time simply cannot keep up with her bizarre and unpredictable "battle rhythm." Not to mention the Great Sage, even Yu Sheng doubted that Eileen herself knew what kind of moves she was using, thinking that she was just using whatever moves came to mind.

And to be fair, it's truly terrifying when an incredibly powerful fighter completely abandons personal ethics and image, crawling around on the ground and smashing people's toes without a care in the world. It becomes incredibly difficult to fight against, from the highest level to the lowest. After all, a high-ranking priest who seems to hold a very high position usually faces opponents at least on the level of Xuan Che and Song Cheng. People of that level all have some sense of dignity. The Great Sage has fallen into a disadvantageous position from the very beginning, which can be described as one wrong step leading to another, destined for a very painful journey ahead...

While Eileen was so cruelly beating a patient with severe paronychia (don't ask where the paronychia came from yet), the other priests and soldiers present also reacted and began to try to support their leader.

Several white-robed priests who still had some energy quickly gathered together. Unstable psionic fluctuations rippled around them, and a powerful spell gradually took shape, pointing towards the vaguely visible giant spider phantom in mid-air.

The bronze knights retreated to the inner side of the defensive line, forming a defensive formation around the priests. They held their greatswords horizontally, and their protective force fields gradually synchronized, transforming into a misty energy barrier. The remaining church soldiers quickly hid around the knights, continuing to unleash a barrage of firepower towards the silver-white fox demon to suppress the eerie foxfire and the exploding tails that flew out, preventing the priests' joint spell from being interfered with.

But at that moment, a white-robed priest who was guiding the psionic shock suddenly felt a strong unease, as if everyone was neglecting something very important.

He looked up sharply at the smoke-filled battlefield, where he saw a thin mist swirling around the underground space, fine snow passing through the rooftops and swirling and dancing in the air above the smoke, blown by the heat waves, and thin, blood-red mist spreading everywhere. The blood-red mist seemed to have its own independent life, and unsettling shadows were hidden in the mist.

Suddenly, a distorted and blurry phantom leaped out from the edge of the blood mist and, in the blink of an eye, pierced the only weak point in the barrier constructed by the brass knights—only the "artificial saintess" who commanded the knights knew how to easily break through this barrier.

"...Heretical machine!"

The white-robed priest only had time to let out a terrified scream before he felt the surging spiritual energy in his hands suddenly lose its balance, as if he had lost control of all supernatural powers—and two seconds later, he realized that it wasn't that the spiritual energy had lost its balance, but that he had been pierced through the head.

Luna's sneak attack succeeded, and the other priests reacted quickly. The powerful spells that were originally intended to be thrown at Eileen were instantly released on the spot. A large area of ​​space was immediately distorted and frozen. Even the dust floating in the air was suppressed in place by an invisible force, as if time had stopped.

However, Luna had already teleported out of the stasis field's coverage area long before that—she was all too familiar with the various tactics of the Hermitage and the priests' "divine" fluctuations.

She charged straight at the Hermitage soldiers who were protecting the priests and suppressing Hu Li with firepower.

The lightweight power armor was like paper against the artificial saint's fingertip blades.

But just then, an unsettling cracking sound suddenly came from the direction of the unstable crack, followed by a piercing tearing and howling sound that echoed throughout the entire underground parking garage.

The ground began to shake violently. The high concentration of residual psionic energy that permeated the entire space triggered an indiscriminate discharge phenomenon out of thin air. Fine lightning and flames rushed around, and then began to roll back and collapse towards the crack.

Almost simultaneously, the Great Sage also collapsed to the ground with a scream—this giant, with his godlike stature and majestic bearing, had finally fallen. The power brought by "Sanctification" was not enough for him to overcome the ominous sign before him—the puppet. His astonishing vitality and extraordinary resistance only brought him the pain of comminuted fractures below the knees, and the humiliation of being chased and pounded with a frying pan by a low-quality puppet for half a day.

The key point is that this doll not only hit people with a frying pan, but also cursed while hitting them. The filth was beyond what he had ever imagined. As a result, he lost his parents within three minutes of the fight. Then, centered around his parents, all his immediate family members also died tragically in the mouth of that doll.

Eileen didn't even spare the earthworms at his doorstep and the neighbor's dog.

“Blasphemy against the alien…blasphemy against the alien…” The Great Sage couldn’t win a fight, nor could he win a verbal battle, and now he was in great pain—even crawling was painful—he collapsed to the ground in shock and rage, propping himself up on his elbows, and moved with difficulty toward the crack, muttering to himself, “filthy and inferior, beyond redemption…”

"What are you idiot babbling about?"

A chilling voice came from ahead, and several spider-like limbs appeared in his field of vision. The Great Sage looked up and saw that the puppet had transformed into a horrifying blasphemous alien. A black spider with the torso of a woman looked down at him from above, its scarlet eyes filled with an ominous and ominous light.

Dark, sinister threads appeared out of thin air, and the spider's two limbs swayed around, weaving the threads into a web that blocked his escape route from all sides.

The Great Sage struggled to prop himself up, gazing at the blasphemous alien before him with the utmost contempt and arrogance.

But a sharp spider leg pierced his back, pinning him back to the ground.

"Was it you who gave that remote meltdown command?" Eileen forcefully suppressed the enemy in front of her. She was somewhat surprised by the enemy's tenacious vitality, but at this moment the outcome was already decided, and the latter's struggle was futile. "Did you kill that artificial saintess?"

The fallen giant did not answer her question, but only uttered a harmless curse.

Eileen grew increasingly angry, her scarlet eyes almost glowing with bloodlust, and the black spider silk around her tightened inch by inch: "...She just wanted a piece of candy! She didn't even get one! C-button can still go farming, water flowers, argue with me, and even go to Yu Sheng to tattle...she just wanted a piece of candy!"

The spider's segments crushed and tore the giant to the ground, slowly tearing him apart.

But suddenly, the giant raised a hand and, at an angle almost like twisting his arm, grabbed the spider leg on his back.

“For no reason…it’s inexplicable…” he mumbled incoherently.

The heat in the surrounding air began to rise sharply, and dense, blinding bolts of lightning appeared out of nowhere in Eileen's vision.

She felt a tingling sensation on her carapace and skin, and suddenly sensed something was wrong: "What... Holy crap!?"

She saw cracks suddenly appear on the Great Sage's skin, which was sculpted from marble. Inside, there was no flesh or blood, only intense, almost limitless energy light.

The final stage of sanctification—beneath the mortal body, only pure, endless light remains.

"Listen to the sacred realm... the lingering echo!"

The great sage gripped the spider limb nailed to his back tightly and let out a final roar.

Eileen got goosebumps all over (if she had any), and the next second, her enormous spider shell vanished into thin air. The blonde doll carrying the frying pan burst out of the slowly expanding white light and ran towards Yu Sheng, yelling, "Oh my god! It's going to explode!!"

The next second, a violent burst of endless light erupted—the instant Eileen and Luna quickly retreated to Hu Li's side, the light engulfed the entire space around the unstable rift, even including the white-robed priests, guards soldiers, and bronze knights who hadn't had time to retreat. With a few short screams, the figures within the white light were completely evaporated.

However, just when everyone thought that the white light would continue to spread, and Hu Li had already raised his protective spiritual energy to prepare to withstand the self-destruction, the burst of white light suddenly collapsed and dissipated.

All the glory collapsed silently, leaving only a scorching crater in the space that the Hermitage had once occupied. The molten ground presented an apocalyptic scene, with the bronze knights, soldiers, and priests all turning to ashes at the bottom of the crater. The spot where the "Great Sage" had fallen was now just a wisp of light slowly evaporating.

Hu Li subconsciously raised her head and looked towards the end of the parking lot, only to find that the unstable crack had also disappeared, leaving only a faint afterimage in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the environment in the "underground parking lot" began to change - the thin fog dissipated, and the fine snow no longer penetrated the roof. The expanded space around them was silently "shrinking back", and the strangely integrated soil and stones were also rolled back to their original space-time.

This scene is exactly the same as when the "dark alley" was restored to its original state.

In just over ten seconds, this place was transformed into an ordinary-looking underground parking lot, with only a few empty corners still bearing traces of the previous battle, and several vehicles that were too close to the "twist point" showing varying degrees of damage.

Eileen and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
