Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 252 Preemptive Strike
Deceiving Black Eyes is very simple.

After being brainwashed by the assassination squad, this young girl's only belief was to eliminate all of the empire's enemies.

Those enemies could be the revolutionary army, foreign races, or even the rebellious General Esdeath.

Kurohime already knew from the messenger sent by the Imperial Capital that Esdeath had sent someone to assassinate the young emperor, and received the message that all Imperial Arms users should go to the Imperial Capital to await orders.

Xu Feng and Xiangzi's disguise when they went to find her was very convincing.

Furthermore, before they approached Kuroto, they specifically used the 'Binding Clothes' to control the messenger who had previously found Kuroto, forcing that imperial official to verify the identities of the two reincarnators.

then.

After receiving the Empire's order to go north and gather intelligence on Esdeath in order to assassinate her, Kurohime set off north without hesitation.

Before she set off.

Xu Feng also specifically asked Xiangzi to help her find a special-grade dangerous species with the ability to fly, and had Hei Tong use the Death March: Eight Houses to kill that special-grade dangerous species and obtain a fast-moving flying mount.

After watching Kurohime fly towards the northern border in a dangerous vehicle.

Shoko said, "Kurohime alone shouldn't be able to probe how much of Esdeath's power she has, right?"

Esdeath was accompanied by three beast warriors and tens of thousands of imperial troops.

Without help, Hei Tong might even be defeated by those people.

"However, it's also troublesome for us to find some more cannon fodder to help Kuro-tomi!"

Xiangzi said with some distress, "It's difficult for us to get other forces to set out to deal with Esdeath immediately. Even if General Budo has the idea of ​​dealing with Esdeath, he will only act according to his own pace. By the time he takes the initiative to attack Esdeath, it will be too late."

Compared to the other natives of this world, Esdeath moves at a very fast pace.

At most three more days.

Her ultimate move will then be fully formed, reaching its maximum power.

The actions of other characters in the story are much slower.

In three days, General Bude might not be able to muster his entire army.

Xu Feng pointed to the sky: "Next, the real main force will be the space-based solar energy weapons. Black Eyes is just the visible force. If Esdeath sends her subordinates to deal with Black Eyes, then her subordinates can only wait to die."

"If Esdeath makes a move, that would be perfect, as it would allow us to see just how capable Esdeath truly is."

"In the manga, Esdeath's ability to control ice and snow far exceeds her own melee combat ability; she is more like an ice mage."

"Her current abilities haven't exceeded the level in the comics. If her close combat abilities are really only at the level in the comics, then we should just take her down."

Xu Feng smiled confidently: "We'll go to space to watch the battle later. We don't need to fly into space; we can stay in the near-Earth orbit area. I'll stabilize our position."

"Watching?" Xiangzi said with a smile, "I hope Esdeath isn't too strong... Ice-based abilities probably can't develop skills that allow people to fly into space, but she's already developed a bug-like ability like time stop, so it wouldn't be surprising if she developed something like that..."

Hours later, on the northern border of the empire.

Black eyes gently stroked the giant ice cap with a radius of three kilometers.

Despite Xu Feng's repeated use of nuclear bombs to bombard this ice sheet, the result was only that the ice sheet became thicker.

"Did Esdeath use an ice cap to seal herself and the Imperial army inside? If that's the case, we'll have to break through this ice cap first!"

Black Eyes drew the Eight Chambers from his waist and raised it towards the sky.

Black lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere.

At the girl's summons, a dragon-shaped skeleton nearly fifty meters long gradually appeared in the real world.

immediately.

Under the control of the black eyes, the super dangerous species Destagur opened its huge mouth, and after a few seconds of charging up, spewed out an extremely hot blue energy stream.

This powerful strike instantly pierced through a layer of ice hundreds of meters thick, carving a giant hole with a radius of about 500 meters into the ice sheet.

"Is this what a super dangerous species is? Destagul is only in its skeletal form. How strong was it when it was alive?"

Xiangzi, watching from the air, couldn't help but sigh:
"Yafusa's Imperial Arms is very powerful... Although it can only control eight corpses, the upper limit of these eight corpses is too high. If we want to use the corpse-refining technique from the 'Mr. Vampire' world to create such a zombie, it will probably take a lot of effort and very precious materials."

“If we can gather eight Super Dangerous Dolls, Yatsufusa’s Imperial Arm will indeed be extremely powerful,” Xu Feng nodded and said.

But he felt that would be very difficult.

Black Eyes was incredibly lucky to encounter a super dangerous species, especially one that was hibernating.

Eight super dangerous species?
Even if Xiangzi uses his mental scanning ability to search, he might not be able to find that many super dangerous species.

Just like the Super Dangerous Beast that created the Imperial Arm 'Cross Tail', according to the anime, one of the dragon's claws was as big as a mountain, and its entire body was at least several thousand meters long.

Even if a creature of that size hides underground or in the sea, reconnaissance satellites can still locate its hiding place.

Xu Feng had already had reconnaissance satellites search for nearly two days, but they hadn't found any trace of the dragon... He suspected that most of the super dangerous species probably no longer existed.

"Hopefully, when we return to this world in the future, we will be able to find some super dangerous species."

below.

After the black-eyed Deistagog launched his attack, Esdeath frowned inside the ice shield.

This attack was no longer an aerial attack, but rather a flanking maneuver.

Furthermore, the energy of the attack was more concentrated... which made her slightly less prepared, and some soldiers in the legion were pierced through the body by the breath mixed with ice.

"Is the East Blue team choosing to attack first?" Esdeath smiled, sensing that the enemy was not far away: "Not bad courage!"

"Hopefully, the next person will give me some enjoyment!"

"Captain, are you going to take action yourself?" Yuri, whose hair was turning gray, asked.

During this time, he expended too much energy to help Esdeath create the super storm.

In just two days, his hair turned quite a bit white.

“That’s right, that enemy not far away is worth my time,” Esdeath said excitedly.

She could sense that the enemy was beginning to gather energy once again.

That level of attack reminded her of the super dangerous species she hunted alone before she acquired her Imperial Arms.

The enemy is very strong.

The creature that attacked her was a super dangerous species whose strength far surpassed that of the super dangerous species she had hunted before.

and.

This is only a portion of the enemy's strength.

“But the enemy may have an ambush!” Yuri advised. “Before the ‘Ice Age’ move is fully completed, we are likely to fail if we are ambushed.”

"There's nothing I can do," Esdeath sighed. "Besides me, there's no one else in the camp who can handle that super dangerous species!"

Yuri then said, "Captain, why don't you try the techniques I suggested you develop first?" Esdeath thought for a moment.

The young man had given her a lot of advice over the past two days, which she found extremely helpful.

It also allowed her to develop the ability to fly using ice wings.

This forced her to take the boy's opinion seriously.

Esdeath smiled and said, "Then let's do it your way!"

She snapped her fingers softly.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, countless water vapors condense and gradually coalesce.

finally.

A massive convex lens, several kilometers in diameter, appeared high in the sky.

It was extremely heavy, yet it was strangely suspended in the air.

The sunlight from the circular area, several kilometers in diameter, was refracted by the ice lens and focused on a single point. Under Esdeath's control, the blazing light rapidly adjusted its position, targeting the super-dangerous species Destagul and the black pupil on its back.

"Light focusing?" Xu Feng squinted from high in the sky.

Having finally found a high-quality cannon fodder like Kurohime to test Esdeath, he naturally wouldn't let Esdeath kill Kurohime easily.

"Then let's destroy it with kinetic weapons!"

immediately.

A tungsten alloy ball weighing tens of thousands of tons fell from the sky... Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult to process a tungsten alloy ball weighing tens of thousands of tons or to send such a heavy material into space. However, Xu Feng's processing method was the extraordinary ability of the Swallow Factory. The Swallow Factory was used to send it into space. The launch vehicle only needed to bear the weight of Xu Feng himself.

and so.

This is how such somewhat unreasonable quality weapons came about.

Of course, even Xu Feng couldn't prepare such a weapon if he didn't personally fly into space to set it up.

In addition to the natural acceleration due to gravity, this tungsten alloy sphere also has a power system similar to a 'nuclear-powered manhole cover'.

Once it reaches a safe altitude, the hydrogen bomb positioned at its tail detonates, propelling it downwards at high speed.

A 10,000-ton tungsten alloy steel ball was dropped.

Although its falling speed is much slower than the speed of light, even with the acceleration of a nuclear bomb, it would still take more than ten minutes to fall from space onto the ice mirror created by Esdeath. But this commotion was enough for Esdeath to consider a question... should she continue to adjust the ice lens to focus the light spot and chase Kurome, or try to defend herself?
If the attack continues.

When that large alloy ball fell, even she suffered greatly, and her soldiers were doomed to die.

Even though the ice sheet is thick, it will definitely be smashed through.

"A formidable enemy... who has forced me into such a sorry state!"

After some consideration, Esdeath finally decided... to counter-charge!

Her battle-hardened instincts told her that if she continued to passively take hits, she would eventually be ravaged to death by those reincarnated members of the East Sea Team.

Those subordinates they tried to protect would also die in wave after wave of enemy attacks.

We must fight back.

Suddenly.

Those ice shields, hundreds of meters thick, transformed into missile-shaped objects hundreds of meters high and tens of meters wide. Their tails spewed out chilling gas, propelling them into the sky.

"Guys from the East Sea Team... Ice lenses can be used to focus sunlight for attacks, and they can also be made into large telescopes!" Yuri, with his gray hair, smiled excitedly. "Now that we've witnessed your missile attacks, how could we not try to find ways to target your satellites? I had Esdeath build this ice telescope precisely to find your trail!"

"I haven't let Esdeath use this move to attack your satellite... I've been waiting for your true forms to appear! Waiting for the members of the East Blue Team, who possess extraordinary powers, to come to our skies!"

"Esdeath's ice control ability is ridiculously strong!" Yuri looked at a special satellite in space through a special telescope: "Freeze the gas, then extract the 'ice energy' from the frozen gas and make it expand at high speed; this rapidly expanding gas can also be used as a working fluid to propel objects!"

"Under Esdeath's control, a great deal of propellant is consumed, but the 'ice energy' stored in the remaining material will also increase. In the end, the remaining tiny ice cubes will possess the strongest ice attribute attack!"

"I wonder... if Esdeath's move will be enough to kill these guys from the East Blue Team!"

While Yuri was excited, Esdeath once again used her ability to control ice to envelop dozens of her subordinates, including herself, and send these important subordinates to a distant place.

This ability to control the ice blocks could save those people before the alloy ball falls.

As for her other subordinates... she was powerless to do anything about them.

Although many soldiers in the legion regarded Esdeath as the goddess of ice and snow, Esdeath knew very well that she was just a person, a person who loved to fight.

“A good idea…” Xu Feng looked at the hundreds of ice rockets flying towards him and Xiangzi.

"This newcomer from the Arctic team is far more talented than me... If he were a veteran, the outcome of our battle against the Arctic team would be hard to predict!"

Hsu Feng had to admit it.

Although the veterans of the Arctic team were quite stupid, this newcomer of the Arctic team was exceptionally clever, and his intelligence alone made him somewhat troublesome.

Without this newcomer... Esdeath would only be passively beaten under his offensive.

"Unfortunately, the attack range of these ice rockets is very limited, and... the amount of ice energy stored in each missile is not much... as long as we use energy of different attributes to consume the extraordinary energy in these ices, the attack range of these ices will be greatly reduced, and then no ice blocks will be able to attack at this height!"

Xu Feng hadn't finished speaking.

He had already activated the Yata no Kagami, which was fused into his eyes, and the intense light energy locked onto each ice crystal rocket.

After a while.

The ice rockets disintegrated one after another.

"No... there's an exception!"

Shoko warned, "Esdeath has also taken to the sky! She plans to fight us in space!"

Hsu Feng also noticed this.

The ice rocket contained an exceptionally rich amount of icy energy.

Even though he used the Yata Mirror to continuously heat it, the huge block of ice remained unchanged... Only when Xu Feng used his Five Visions to observe the inside of the ice did he discover that Esdeath was using her Imperial Arm ability to maintain the ice rocket inside it, and the ice rocket would continue to exist until her power was exhausted.

But Esdeath's actions were exactly what he wanted.

Xu Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Esdeath's made a foolish mistake... Has she ever been to space? She's actually going to fight us in a completely unfamiliar space environment! From now on, let her wander alone in space!"

As Esdeath soared into the sky, the enormous ice-like convex lens was instantly pierced by the alloy ball falling from the sky.

After that, the alloy ball's speed only decreased slightly.

It landed on the ice dome, which had been damaged by the launch of the ice rocket, and the hundred-meter-thick dome collapsed in an instant.

The tungsten alloy sphere, which had become incredibly hot from friction in the atmosphere, crashed into the area along with ice fragments. The reaction between the two caused water vapor and dust to completely engulf the soldiers, triggering a new explosion.

Instantly, countless people died.
