Vatican frowned and said, "The next attack might be from the three o'clock position, or... directly at me."
As if to confirm her words, a cold mental force surged into the minds of the three at the same time: "Struggle, you insects, you have nowhere to escape in the cracks of space."
The attack has begun again!
This time, the Void God was no longer satisfied with just a simple sneak attack.
Above, several transparent spatial blades rained down from the sky, covering the area where the three people were located.
Below, the space beneath their feet suddenly turned into quicksand, and a powerful suction force came, trying to drag them into an unknown dimension.
On the left and right sides, the originally stable spatial structure folds and compresses like a mirror, forming an invisible barrier that restricts their escape space.
Behind him, an almost imperceptible spatial slicing silently attacked Vatican, who was struggling to maintain his mental awareness.
There was nowhere to hide, no matter which direction or direction.
"careful!"
Charles roared, and the energy conduits on the back of the Abyss Armor burst forth with a blinding red light.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest, and a diamond-shaped energy barrier instantly unfolded, forcefully blocking the spatial blade rain coming from above and in front.
The barrier collided with the spatial blade, creating visible cracks before finally shattering.
"Stop being so arrogant!"
Barton roared, and a dark red energy storm swept around him. Ignoring the suction force below, he channeled the energy into his legs and nailed them to the spot. At the same time, he fired the hot-melt chainsaw cannon wildly at the space beneath his feet and to the sides.
The scorching plasma flames and the tearing of the chainsaw temporarily pushed back the compression and engulfment of space.
When faced with a fatal blow aimed at Vatican from behind, Barton also helped her block it, and the three of them worked together to defend against the spatial blade, barely managing to hold it off.
The three were in grave danger under the relentless, all-encompassing attack of the illusory god, and only managed to hold on by supporting each other.
Charles looked grave, Barton was slightly out of breath from the forced outburst, and although Vatican had escaped unscathed, the exhaustion of her mental energy had left her pale.
The ethereal god's slender, twisted figure flashed by in the distance, a hint of surprise seemingly flickering in his eyes, only to be replaced by a deeper cruelty.
He seemed surprised that these three insects could withstand his first-stage attack; it was somewhat unexpected.
Chapter 302 Mirror Copy
"We can't keep taking hits."
Charles, clad in his Abyss-Bearer armor, activated his Life Resonance ability at full power, attempting to more clearly capture the trajectory of the illusory god. "His spatial flashes have intervals, though extremely short, but there is still a certain chance."
"Then force him to come out!"
Barton's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and unstable crimson energy began to gather on the iron hook of his death scythe. "Let's see how long he can hide!"
Vatican did not speak, but her spread mental web contracted, no longer covering the entire area, but instead acting like a precise probe, focusing on several key directions indicated by Charles.
The illusory gods are like venomous snakes lurking in space, ready to launch a fatal attack from any angle at any time.
Meanwhile, Charles and his two companions, back to back, relied on their tacit understanding and trust in each other's abilities to painstakingly maintain a crumbling defense line in this shattered mirror realm, waiting for the opportunity to launch a counterattack.
They all knew that the next attack from the illusory gods would be...
It will only get more bizarre and deadly.
The second form is the hunter form.
The illusory gods seem to have grown tired of this; it's time to get serious.
His blurry, shadow-covered, skeletal figure solidified for a moment in the distance, then his body began to become translucent, eventually becoming completely energized, transforming into a constantly twisting humanoid ghost.
The second form allows for complete energy transformation and phase travel.
The aura of the illusory god became even more elusive, as if it existed simultaneously in multiple spatial dimensions.
"Note that the opponent has entered a high-dimensional phase state, making conventional attacks almost ineffective. This is troublesome."
Charles issued a stern warning, as he sensed the presence of the illusory god becoming extremely faint, as if it had merged into the space itself.
The next moment, attacks swept in from all directions.
Hundreds of spatial blades suddenly shot out from the twisted rifts, from the empty air, and even from the space beneath their feet and above their heads, forming a deadly net with no blind spots.
Blood Devouring Conversion, Full Power!
Barton pushed the Predator Armor's defensive system and his own abilities to the limit, withstanding several spatial cuts. Sparks flew from his armor, which was severely damaged and even his energy shield couldn't withstand the damage. However, he also successfully shattered several spatial blades that were heading towards Charles and Vatican City with his thermal cannon.
Charles wielded the dark red energy tentacles generated after resonating with the Abyss. These tentacles could not only attack, but also deflect and absorb some of the energy, barely managing to protect himself amidst the dense rain of spatial blades.
Meanwhile, the Vatican's mental interference device was operating at full power, attempting to disrupt the Void God's precise control over space. It was also struggling to dodge, and if it weren't for Charles and Barton helping to hold them off, it might have died long ago.
"This can't go on; we're consuming energy too quickly."
Charles felt waves of backlash and pain from the Abyss Armor, and most of his abilities were depleted.
"Vanti, can you find the anchor point for his phase travel?"
"Barton asked, panting heavily."
“It will take time, and the other side is very wary.” Vanti’s voice carried a hint of barely perceptible fatigue.
The attacks of the illusory god grew increasingly violent, seemingly determined to wear down the three of them in this lightless realm.
"Then there's nothing we can do..."
A resolute glint flashed in Charles's eyes.
"I'll be the bait, Patton. Get ready for your best shot."
“Charles, you…” Barton was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Time is running out."
Charles interrupted him, his tone leaving no room for argument.
The next moment, he deliberately severed some of the safety restrictions with the Abyss, pushed his life resonance ability to the extreme, and even began to burn his life essence, going all out.
"Life resonance, primal overload, domain expansion!"
The life essence unique to the Abyss Warrior Armor, exuding a violent and devouring aura, erupted from his body like a dark sun, forcibly creating an unstable small domain.
This realm is not stable, yet it can disrupt the stability of the surrounding space and affect the phase travel of the illusory gods.
"Hey, I found it."
A glint flashed in Vatican's eyes. In the instant Charles's domain unfolded, she finally captured a spatial coordinate that the illusory god had to temporarily solidify in order to maintain its existence.
"Chains of the court, shackles of the soul!"
She held back no longer; several solid, dark blue chains, imbued with a powerful mental binding force, shot out from the void and swiftly coiled around the newly solidified dark phantom.
"Buzz!"
Space trembled violently, and the illusory god emitted a sharp and piercing mental scream, struggling frantically to try to re-integrate into the phase plane. However, under the combined effect of the interference field that Charles had created by burning his life and the soul shackles that Vatican had put all his strength into, he was forcibly dragged out of the higher-dimensional phase and briefly imprisoned in the real space.
"Barton!!"
"I have long been ready."
Barton's eyes were instantly filled with crimson, and a destructive energy storm erupted around him. The Predator armor issued an alarm that it was about to disintegrate, but he didn't care.
He poured all his power into the death scythe hook on his right arm. The hook burned with a scarlet energy like hellfire, carrying a soul-tearing power. He appeared in front of the imprisoned illusory god as if by teleportation, seizing the brief opportunity to launch a full-force slash.
boom! ! ! !
The crimson destructive energy collided violently with the collapsing force of the spatial singularity, triggering a small-scale spatial collapse.
The blinding light engulfed everything, and the violent energy turbulence sent Charles, Barton, and the other two flying.
As the light faded, the blurry figure of the illusory god vanished, leaving behind only a slowly closing spatial black hole and dissipating, pure spatial energy.
Fandi knelt on the ground, completely exhausted.
Patton's Predator armor was badly damaged and emitting black smoke, and he himself was weakened by the side effects of Bloodlust.
On Charles's mech, the crimson patterns of the Abyss had faded considerably. He was breathing heavily, and beneath his visor, his face was as pale as paper.
"How dare you hurt me?"
The phantom of the illusory god reformed, his wounds healing, and he said calmly, "It really surprised me."
……
The 8th battlefield.
The rules and perceptions here are distorted; the enemy is a formless, shapeless mirror beast capable of transforming into everything, a myriad of faces.
"The snake-dog energy reaction of the third team on the right is abnormal. The fluctuation of their life essence has a 0.3% phase difference with the original, indicating that they are clones!"
Su Chanqing reminded him through the panoramic thinking array of the Wangshu Armor.
"receive."
Vera's response was concise; her fang armor, like ink dissolving in water, silently detached from the main formation and stealthily made its way towards the anomalous area.
The Shadow Imitation ability was activated, and several realistic phantoms with some physical attack power pounced on the snake-dog team from different directions.
However, the moment the "Snake Dogs" were attacked, their form suddenly twisted, transforming into the shape of several friendly mechs. Energy shields instantly deployed, blocking the phantom's attack, and they even sent out a distress signal: "We are the Third Defense Squad, under attack from an unknown source!"
"What an annoying trick!"
Jock's manic voice crackled with static, and behind his tattered Monarch armor, several proliferating mechanical tentacles writhed restlessly like octopuses.
"kill!"
A mechanical tentacle suddenly plunged into the ground, and an invisible mechanical resonance spread outwards.
"The energy structure stability of the target area has decreased by 15%," Su Chan immediately reported the data.
"The structural weakness has been marked. The second one from the left, the energy conduction node on the shoulder of the Fudoyama is abnormally active. It has been transmitted to the tactical interfaces of Captain Vera and Captain Jock. It cannot be our teammate."
Helian Hong's calm voice rang out. His ability, Material Sequence Perception, could accurately locate the weakest point in any material or energy structure, allowing him to analyze it.
"Nangong, prepare to activate gene sequence interference, high-frequency morphological conversion of the target characteristic," Vera commanded.
"Interference sequence has been synthesized, specifically targeting the energy life form to rapidly reconstruct the protein, injection unit in place."
Nangong Wan responded calmly. Although her gene sequence weaving ability was not very effective against pure energy bodies, it could cause unexpected interference to Mirror Beasts, which had unique biological characteristics and relied on rapid structural changes.
