Since there are no signals in the Death Dimension, the Federation was forced to resort to the oldest method: using standby messenger soldiers to facilitate communication between the two sides.
Just as they were planning to develop a few medium-range missiles, another loud bang was heard in the distance!
The sound startled many of the tiny insects flying in the air, causing them to stray off course and crash to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, the War Maiden held a slender, dusty ice blade horizontally in front of her chest to block the attack, while the axe-wielding, grayish-brown arm, with its deformed, extremely sharp weapon, mercilessly smashed into the ice blade.
The scene it had envisioned—the crystalline knife shattering into dust—did not occur, and a hint of incomprehension flashed in its turbid yellow eyes.
Although it didn't shatter directly, the force exerted on the very center of the ice blade was considerable, causing several cracks to appear and spread rapidly to the sides like a spider web. The force was also directly transmitted to the person wielding the blade.
The Valkyrie suddenly slid backward a short distance, snowflakes dancing beneath her alloy feet, splashing several meters high like ice blades slicing through the air.
The squeaking sound, which should have been extremely piercing, was drowned out by the loud noise.
The Valkyrie then steadied her body, her knees instantly rising to firmly press against the axe's scales! At the same time, a beam of azure light shot out from her feet, and she activated the engine in her legs, propelling herself forward like a shooting star.
The axe was struck and the person staggered twice.
It didn't have time to give chase, because a discarded, dusty ice blade appeared before its eyes at some unknown time. It broke free from the War Maiden's hand and swung straight towards it!
The blade tip, gleaming with a chilling aura, looked extremely sharp. It tried to dodge, turning to the side.
Unexpectedly, the knife wasn't aimed at slashing; instead, it exploded just as it was about to pass by!
A white mist suddenly appeared in the sky, extremely noticeable in this dim dimension. Countless molecules scattered into the air, searching for something to cling to. The most direct and closest creature was the axe, which was so close that no one expected it to be plotting this against the War Maiden.
Yuki-onna, Yuki-onna. Inspired by this name, the genius of cold weapon design endowed it with the ability to explode and solidify at any time. Once the mysterious substance comes into contact with the air, it can turn into solid ice in almost a fraction of a second, and the temperature is unimaginably low.
Whether hot or cold, once a certain threshold is reached, it can have a devastating effect on any substance.
Before long, the white mist dissipated and fell, and the water molecules that had adhered to the gaps in the scales condensed, forming a layer of ice on the grayish-brown surface of the axe, sparkling like a layer of oil had been applied to an old chair.
The axe-headed creature had no time to rejoice at its new clothes; its vertical pupils contracted instantly, for even the gleaming ice armor reflected light.
That bright light... was a shot fired by the War Maiden who had kept a sufficient distance and was still flying through the air before landing!
Its palm contracted inward, and its arm was raised straight up. A silver cannon barrel connected from its palm to its forearm, from which a bright blue light shone – the laser was igniting the deuterium!
How is that possible? What kind of people could set up a plasma cannon inside the War Maiden? Aren't they afraid that the cockpit, which is so close, would self-destruct due to the explosion of spherical particles with extremely unstable molecular states?
In fact, at the moment of launch, Luo Xiaoli also felt unimaginable heat inside the spherical bubble, but the bubble seemed to have a strange magic that insulated most of the heat, which the human body could barely withstand!
Inside the cockpit, she saw light darting wildly through the transparent walls around her, supplying the body with essential "blood"!
Energy bursts in like an explosion, preheating the plasma cannon for firing!
She was in a strange world, like a dream, the center of the universe. Looking to the left... looking to the right, countless planets flowed in two opposing galaxies, with an unreal haze and a vast expanse, giving her the feeling that she was just a speck of dust.
The light emanating from the palm instantly annihilated all the darkness, carrying a crimson-gold halo with a dazzling white center, tearing the air in its path to shreds and distorting space!
Reflected on the glacier, reflected in the eyes of countless people, it made them hurriedly raise their hands, unable to look directly at it!
Even the ice-covered garment began to shimmer with light.
Because the light was shooting straight at the outer armor covered by ice, its target was the axe-wielding weapon's surface defenses!
The worms, still flying in mid-air, were annihilated in the path of the artillery fire, leaving not even a trace of dust, exploding into extremely fine molecules scattered in the air.
Arriving in an instant, with perfect distance control!
The deadly spherical particles slammed into the ice layer of the axe-head armor, exploding instantly. The collision caused a high-temperature reaction of millions of degrees. The already extremely unstable particles collided wildly and then cracked, generating energy!
Alternating between hot and cold, extreme cold and extreme heat, even the strongest defenses will be torn apart!
A heart-wrenching wail echoed from the axe-headed creature's throat. Scales peeled from its body, flesh and blood flew everywhere, leaving a huge, charred crater. Lightning continued to flicker, clinging to its surface, bringing waves of pain that tormented it to the point of wishing for death.
This flash of light made the dimension flicker between light and dark, seemingly never-ending!
The teamwork between the War Maiden and Luo Xiaoli was near perfect, and their tactical arrangement was genius among geniuses. What was initially a passive move to block the axe's fierce attack with the sealed ice blade was transformed into a strategic maneuver using the engine's immense power to retreat to a safe distance. Furthermore, she used the shattered ice blades to create a mist that left the axe with no way to avoid it. Just as the axe was caught off guard, the ice formed, allowing it to retreat at the perfect distance, without the slightest deviation!
