Chapter 69: Flawless Dome (Painful Update)

"Aili, stop, I really can't run anymore!" Eden didn't know why Ai Li suddenly tensed up and even frantically dragged herself to the riverside.

But she knew one thing: if she continued to run, her lungs would explode.

Ai Li braked and stopped. She first looked around the dead silent street, then turned to look at Eden who was bent over and supported her knees and panting.

"Oh~ Eden! If your fans saw you like this, would they be disappointed?"

"Don't make fun of me, Ai Li..."

Eden was panting without any image. She was just dragged and ran at Ai Li's speed with the physical fitness of an ordinary person. Now she only felt that her lungs were burning, but the air she breathed in was particularly cold. Her limbs were sore and heavy. She desperately gave the command "move your legs" in her mind, but the muscles in her legs only tightened slightly and no longer paid attention to the command of the brain.

The white skin on her lips was like the edge of a dried wonton, dry, hard and crisp. She pursed her lips and unconsciously tore off a piece with her teeth. She squinted her eyes in pain.

"Hold on a little longer. I'll take you to West City first. Our people are there." Ai Li took Eden's shoulders, "Don't be so stubborn. Let me carry you, okay?"

Eden forced a smile. She really didn't have the strength to reply. She just adjusted her breathing rhythm along with the "swooshing" sound of the river not far away.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning passed over their heads, reflecting the surrounding broken walls into dark purple.

The "rumbling" thunder came much later than the lightning, but it continuously hit the eardrum.

"Aili..." Eden suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?"

"There's someone there..."

Ailishia felt a current quickly climbing up from her waist to the top of her head, and the hairs along the way exploded. She turned her head along Eden's finger, but she only caught a glimpse of a purple lightning.

"Tsk!"

A pink crystal flower bloomed in front of her, and the lightning suddenly hit it. The crystal flower was almost instantly covered with fine cracks.

Aili took a step back and pushed Eden aside again. Then the huge crystal flower exploded. She only felt a pain in her lower abdomen. When she came to her senses, she had already flown thousands of meters away, knocking down more than a dozen dilapidated buildings, and then she stopped her body abruptly.

Eden stood up with the broken wall, and a crystal petal fell at her feet. Without the supply of Honkai energy, it gradually turned into crystal dust and drifted away.

"Who... cough cough..." She roared angrily, but it was obviously a bluff and had no deterrent effect.

And she finally understood why Ai Li was so anxious just now... "Right! Ai Li!"

She looked towards where she had just stood, and the gray dust and pink crystal fragments mixed together and flew, gradually revealing a strange figure.

It was a tall woman with long straight black hair that was scattered wantonly, even long enough to drag on the ground. There was a black snake head on her left shoulder, and the purple lightning snakes winding around her body were her best clothes.

She turned her head slightly to Eden and glanced at him lightly.

A purple vertical pupil was instantly reflected in Eden's mind.

"Queen of Thunder..." For some reason, these four words appeared in Eden's mind.

The cold eyes without any emotion or warmth were like an iceberg pressing down on Eden's shoulders.

Cold, heavy, desperate... The melted ice water turned into cold sweat all over her back. Her legs softened and she instinctively wanted to surrender to the Queen of Thunder, but her remaining rationality made her grit her teeth and lean all her weight on the broken wall.

Although she always looked slow and elegant in front of others, even the most familiar people had no memory of her getting angry. But she was actually a soft-hearted person, otherwise she would not have parted ways with her agency just after her debut.

She would not surrender to anyone, even if the person was as powerful as a god.

The Third Herrscher noticed the strangeness of the woman next to him, and could not help but turn half of his body and look at her with his head tilted.

She seemed to not understand the persistence of this human in front of her - he would die in the next second anyway, so why bother to do so many complicated psychological exercises before dying?

She stretched out a finger to Eden, and the lightning snake slowly gathered at her fingertips.

In fact, she didn't need to go through so much trouble. If she wanted, she could kill this mortal in an instant, but she deliberately slowed down because she suddenly found that she still liked to see the eyes of humans before they died.

Nostalgia, resentment, resentment, despair, emptiness, madness... a thousand people have a thousand kinds of eyes, and the one in front of her is particularly wonderful.

Unyielding, worried, angry and powerless, it is easy for the third Herrscher to feel an indescribable satisfaction.

Thunder is ready to go.

Eden seemed to have a premonition, her pupils shrank slightly, and the purple light gradually occupied her sight.

But two pink spots suddenly flew out from the side.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The Herrscher turned quickly, and the hand that was originally extended to Eden drew a semicircular arc in the air. As soon as the high-frequency electromagnetic wave touched the arrow condensed by the pink crystal, it beat the latter back into powder.

Pink crystal dust exploded all over the sky, momentarily obscuring the Third Herrscher's vision. She narrowed her eyes slightly and stared at the ground in front of her - sure enough, a quarter of a second later, Ellie's feet appeared in her sight.

The Herrscher's mouth curled up into a smile, and the lightning spread from her as the center, climbing up to Ellie's calf. At the same time, she put her five fingers together into a palm, and the compressed lightning covered her palm, directly forming a sharp blade.

She elegantly and carelessly loosened her hand forward, and her palm easily pierced Ellie's chest.

"Huh?"

No! How could the human body feel so hard and cold!

But when the third Herrscher realized this, it was too late. The "Ellie" in front of her flashed a light, and then exploded instantly.

The Herrscher was caught off guard and flew backwards. The diffuse pink crystal dust drilled into her respiratory tract. She just wanted to crawl out of the ruins, but she couldn't help but coughing violently while holding her throat.

The real Ellie had already appeared beside Eden, carrying her on her back, and ran towards the tributary of the river that separated East City and West City.

There was only one bridge in sight on the river, which was occupied by the dead soldiers, the Honkai beasts and the severely blocked traffic. Ai Li simply ran directly to the beach by the river. A small boat made of pink crystals quickly took shape. She threw Eden onto the boat and pushed the boat towards the other side of the river without waiting for the other side to react. She had to stay here to stop the third Herrscher, otherwise, when she reached the center of the river, she would be caught up by the Herrscher and no one could escape.

Eden leaned against the bow with difficulty and wanted to shout something, but she covered her mouth and practiced coughing, and finally couldn't say a complete sentence.

Ai Lishia looked at the boat that was getting farther and farther away and showed a helpless smile.

But then, her lips opened slightly, and she looked at the giant mecha rising from the ground on the other side of the river with a half-sluggish and half-surprised look.

"Mikael!" She waved and shouted, but it was too far away, and Mikael couldn't hear it at all.

A flash of lightning flashed from the dark street and hit her back. Ai Lili seemed to have expected it. She just turned sideways and dodged the attack of the third Herrscher.

The lightning dissipated, and the Herrscher's figure appeared on the riverside. She had grasped a purple sharp blade in her hand and chopped it down at Ai Li beside her.

The sharp blade wrapped in lightning was stuck by the longbow made of pink crystal. On the other side of the river, the wanderer also opened countless arms, pressed Shesha under him, and beat him violently.

As the figures crossed, Ai Li directly used the bow as a long sword, pressing, blocking, or chopping. In an instant, she collided with the purple sword of the Herrscher nearly a hundred times.

"Hmph!"

The wailing of Shesha on the other side of the river gradually subsided, and finally a violent explosion ended the first stage of the battle like a period.

As the crystal bow in Ellie's hand shattered, she quickly pulled away and constructed another crystal bow, put an arrow on it, but she did not shoot at the Herrscher, but shot at the endless night sky.

"Flawless Dome!"
