I am Möbius's sister.

As Sirin thought this, she waited for the energy to dissipate.

However, after the energy from the nuclear explosion dissipated, Sirin discovered that at the very center of the explosion, there was a huge purple crystal standing upright, and inside this purple crystal was the strange Honkai Beast.

A moment later, the purple crystal suddenly shattered and disintegrated, and the strange Honkai Beast jumped out of it, seemingly unharmed.

Seeing this, Celine was dumbfounded. This guy's vitality was so tenacious! He withstood a small nuclear explosion without any problems. He didn't even lose a single hair. What was going on?

Although she didn't know why the Honkai Beast wasn't injured, Sirin was not discouraged. She then launched several more laser beams in conjunction with spatial splitting to attack the Honkai Beast.

However, this time the Honkai Beast was smarter; it ran away before the attack arrived, preventing Sirin's attack from landing on it.

Of course, this was only Sirin's first attack. Soon, dozens of high-energy lasers shot towards the Honkai Beast from all directions. The Honkai Beast did not dare to confront these lasers head-on, so it kept dodging and had no intention of retaliating. Or rather, it was unable to retaliate in its current state of being suppressed everywhere.

Meanwhile, Alicia, who was watching the battle from a short distance away, was not idle either; she had been observing the situation closely. She hadn't expected that this Honkai Beast would fight Sirin for so long; it was truly beyond her expectations.

It's no wonder it's an over-the-top Honkai Beast; it's got some real skills.

Now that this Honkai Beast is hiding and dodging, I wonder how Sirin will deal with it? I'm a little looking forward to it.

Alicia's lips curled up slightly; in short, she trusted Sirin implicitly.

At the same time, seeing her attacks being dodged by the Honkai Beast with perfect accuracy, Sirin couldn't help but feel a little angry.

That's strange. How come this thing seems to be able to predict her attacks? Every time it attacks, it just runs away before it even gets there.

It's really strange.

Unable to come up with an answer, Sirin gave up and decided to just give the Honkai Beast a big one.

You like to dodge, don't you? Well, she'll expand her attack range then, let's see how you dodge now!

Sirin was just about to take this action when, before she could even make a move, the Honkai Beast turned and ran without a second thought.

Seeing that things were going badly, Sirin was ready to act immediately, because if she didn't, the Honkai Beast would really get away.

Chapter 158 Catching a Turtle in a Jar

A massive thunderstorm erupted in the sky, followed by tens of thousands of bolts of lightning mixed with high-energy lasers striking the ground. The attack range reached a radius of a thousand meters, even engulfing Alicia.

However, Sirin was also careful and made sure that the lightning and high-energy rays avoided the place where Alicia was, ensuring Alicia's safety.

With such a wide-ranging attack, the Honkai Beast naturally didn't have the power to escape the attack range.

However, in order to protect Alicia, Sirin specifically excluded Alicia's location from the attack range of the thunderstorm and high-energy laser.

This action created a gap in the seemingly impenetrable massive thunderstorm, and this gap is where the Honkai Beast's life lies.

As a Honkai Beast with exceptional intelligence, it naturally knew this, so without thinking, it ran towards the direction where Alicia was, braving the thunderstorm.

However, this seemingly only place of hope was actually a loophole deliberately created by Sirin.

The high-energy laser mixed with thunder struck the Honkai Beast and easily pierced its body. If one looked closely at the microscopic level, it would be clear that it was not the laser that forcibly destroyed the Honkai Beast's surface defense, but rather the Herrscher of Thunder power contained in the laser that decomposed the Honkai Beast's surface defense.

Given Sirin's current level of control over her powers, this would be easy for her to do.

Surprisingly, the Honkai Beast's body recovered almost immediately after being pierced by the laser, showing no signs of having been hit by multiple laser beams.

It would break through and then recover, break through and recover again, over and over again. If the Honkai Beasts didn't lack the ability to feel pain, they would probably die from the pain.

However, this was not without its price: the concentration and level of Honkai energy on the Honkai Beast were constantly declining. Clearly, this method could not be used much by the Honkai Beast.

Seeing the Honkai Beast rushing towards her, Alicia was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly. She had already guessed some of Sirin's thoughts. She was simply deliberately leading the Honkai Beast towards her so that she could hold it off and ultimately kill it.

As if to confirm Alicia's thoughts, the bracelet on her wrist suddenly rang, and a message was transmitted directly to her mind.

It was Sirin who tagged her in the chat room. Just as Alicia had expected, Sirin did want Alicia to hold off the Honkai Beast for a while so that she could launch a close-range sneak attack. As for whether Alicia could handle this important task, Sirin had no doubt at all.

Seeing the Honkai Beast rushing towards her at an extremely high speed, Alicia took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then chose to use a bow and arrow as her weapon.

She planned to wait until the Honkai Beast got closer before using melee weapons. Although she still preferred ranged attacks, her melee skills were equally impressive. As the former number one member of the Fire Moth, she was an all-rounder, proficient in using a little bit of each weapon.

Hmm, just a little bit.

Alicia drew her bow and aimed at the Honkai Beast that was moving at high speed. Although the Honkai Beast was moving very fast, even faster than a small car, it would be difficult for an ordinary person to even aim, let alone hit it, even though the Honkai Beast was very large.

However, Alicia is no ordinary person. Although Alicia's arrows are made of Honkai energy and do not have an automatic tracking function, aiming at and hitting fast-moving objects is just a piece of cake for Alicia, and it is just part of her daily training.

As expected, all of Alicia's arrows hit their targets, and a violent explosion came from the direction of the Honkai Beast. Alicia's arrows slowed down the Honkai Beast's advance considerably.

Not long after, the Honkai Beast emerged from the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion. Just like before, the damage that Alicia's arrow had inflicted on the Honkai Beast was slowly disappearing, and it eventually returned to its state of never having been injured.

But this is not a restoration of damaged tissues in the body, but rather... a rejection.

For some reason, when watching the Honkai Beast use its abilities, this word popped into Alicia's mind, and even she herself found it strange that she rejected it.

Before Alicia could think any further, the Honkai Beast rushed through the thunderstorm and arrived not far in front of her. Alicia, who reacted quickly, temporarily put the problem out of her mind.

She then put away her bow and arrows and put on an exquisite longsword. This longsword was a specially made weapon for the Fire Moth. It was foldable and retractable, making it very convenient to carry. When it was time to fight, the longsword would transform into its most aggressive form.

This longsword looks like an ordinary cold weapon, but it was actually made using several high-tech methods and the corpse of a high-ranking Honkai Beast. It took a lot of manpower and resources to create, and it can even easily break through the defenses of a high-ranking Honkai Beast.

Of course, it also depends on the user. If Alicia uses it, breaking through the body defense of a high-ranking Honkai Beast is naturally no problem. However, if the user is not Alicia or a strong person, the power will be greatly reduced.

Alicia focused her mind and charged at the Honkai Beast before it could even rush towards her.

Just then, Alicia felt as if she had been frozen for a second. After that agonizing second, the Honkai Beast suddenly disappeared from its original spot and reappeared behind Alicia. If one were to perceive it carefully now, one could discover that the Honkai energy level within the Honkai Beast had dropped significantly.

This shows that the Honkai Beast had clearly paid a heavy price to perform that incredible feat.

Alicia reacted quickly and prepared to continue the pursuit, but it was too late. The Honkai Beast was already close to the edge of the thunderstorm and would soon be free.

However, Sirin was prepared for this situation. Just as the Honkai Beast was about to leave the area covered by the thunderstorm, a huge transparent screen suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking its way. Unable to brake in time, it crashed straight into it.

This Honkai Beast did try to use the same trick again and skip the transparent barrier, but for some reason, it couldn't break through it in the end.

Chapter 159 So what?

Seeing that the barrier she had set up had successfully blocked the Honkai Beast, Sirin finally felt relieved. If the Honkai Beast had managed to escape, she would have had to come up with a different plan and even abandon her backup plan, because the spatial barrier was ineffective against the Honkai Beast.

Fortunately, this situation did not occur; the spatial barrier was still able to stop the Honkai Beast.

Just as Sirin breathed a sigh of relief, the Honkai Beast, seeing that it could not break through the barrier, did not continue to try. Instead, it decisively turned around and ran towards Alicia. With each step it took, clusters of pink crystals appeared out of thin air in the places it stepped on.

When it left, the crystal clusters exploded, and the broken crystals flew in all directions. Soon after they landed on the ground, they formed an even larger crystal cluster.

This cycle repeated itself endlessly, and before long, nearly half of the area sealed off by Sirin was covered with tiny crystal clusters. If someone with trypophobia were to see these clusters, they would probably faint on the spot.

Seeing the strange behavior of the Honkai Beast, Sirin stopped observing the battle and waiting for an opening. Instead, she immediately opened a portal and teleported to Alicia's side.

She had a premonition that if she didn't do this, Alicia would soon be in an extremely dangerous situation because of these crystal clusters.

As if to confirm her feeling, shortly after Sirin landed, all the crystal clusters around her floated up from the ground and emitted an incredibly dazzling light. These crystal clusters emitted colorful rays of light and looked very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful they were, they could not hide their dangerous nature. Sirin could clearly feel the unstable energy contained in these crystal clusters, and this energy would explode completely in a short time.

If it were to explode in such a confined space isolated from the outside world, the explosive force would likely wipe out everything in the area, leaving behind a large crater.

However, Sirin remained calm and activated three layers of imaginary barriers around herself, also enveloping Alicia within them. Even before her power reached its current level, this single layer of imaginary barrier could withstand attacks at the Herrscher level; now that she was stronger, the level of attacks she could withstand had naturally increased as well.

She refused to believe that this guy could break through her three layers of imaginary number barriers.

The moment Sirin finished releasing the imaginary barrier, these crystal clusters exploded simultaneously, and the Honkai energy contained within them was rapidly converted into real energy and spread outwards.

Just as Sirin had predicted, the explosive power of these crystal clusters was amplified many times over due to the confined space of the explosion. However, this power was not enough to break through the three imaginary barriers set up by Sirin. It only caused fluctuations and cracks in the outermost barrier, but it did not completely shatter.

However, Sirin soon discovered that the Honkai Beast's goal did not seem to be to attack Alicia or her, but rather to attack the barrier that isolated this area from the outside world. It seemed to want to use the power of these exploding crystal clusters to burst the spatial barrier.

Although Sirin's imaginary barrier could easily block the explosion of these crystal clusters, this spatial barrier was not that strong. Such a powerful explosion could theoretically reach the barrier's limit, and now the barrier had already cracked with spiderweb-like cracks under the impact of the explosion.

Although it hasn't completely shattered yet, if the Honkai Beast were to attack the barrier again at this moment, the barrier's collapse would be inevitable, allowing the Honkai Beast to escape its constraints.

But what can we do about it?

Long before Sirin trapped this Honkai Beast here with the spatial barrier, she had already prepared a way to remedy the situation if the barrier broke or if the barrier could not stop this Honkai Beast. So even if this Honkai Beast really broke the barrier, it would not be able to escape her grasp!

Just as Sirin had predicted, the Honkai Beast swiftly attacked the already crumbling barrier, and soon shattered it completely, escaping to safety.

Seeing the Honkai Beast take off running, Sirin's lips curled into a slight smile. She raised her hand and grabbed at the location where the Honkai Beast had been. Dozens of Void Spears and dozens of Void Ribbons rushed towards the Honkai Beast, relentlessly pursuing it.

Seeing this, Alicia couldn't help but feel a little strange. Why didn't Sirin give chase? Didn't she know that ranged attacks were easy to dodge? These questions aroused Alicia's curiosity. She thought for a moment and prepared to ask her.

"Sirin, are we... not going to chase after them?" Alicia tilted her head cutely.

Upon hearing this, Sirin turned her head and gave Alicia a mysterious smile.

Let the bullets fly for a while~

Alicia was pondering the meaning of those words when a deafening explosion came from nearby, followed by a howling gale.

The howling wind ruffled Alicia's pink hair, but she didn't immediately fix it. Instead, she focused her attention on the direction from which the explosion had come.

At that moment, the area where the explosion originated was shrouded in smoke and dust. As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Alicia saw a scene of utter devastation.

The area was riddled with potholes, and what was worse, the potholes were extremely irregular; anyone with obsessive-compulsive disorder would probably die on the spot. Not far from these potholes lay a new spatial barrier and Honkai Beasts blasted to pieces.

That's right, this is Sirin's backup plan: more and larger spatial barriers and hundreds of Void Spears buried underground. All of these things are kept silent so that the Honkai Beast won't find them.

These spatial barriers will only open and the sub-vacuum spears buried underground will explode simultaneously once the enemy breaks through the previous spatial barrier and enters its sensing range.

Although maintaining these things requires a lot of energy from Celine, it's nothing for her now; she's just a little tired at most.

The explosion went smoothly. Under the relentless pursuit of dozens of Void Spears and dozens of Void Belts, the Honkai Beast was lured to the designated area, but the result of the explosion was not ideal.

A moment later, the Honkai Beast got up from the ground, covered in wounds. Although it was badly injured, it was not in any danger of dying.

It stared at the spatial barrier before it, remaining silent for a long while, seemingly pondering how to break the deadlock.

However, Sirin naturally wouldn't give it a chance to break the deadlock. With a wave of her hand, hundreds of small portals appeared around the Honkai Beast, and a sharp Void Spear emerged from one of the portals.

At Sirin's command, these Void Spears shot towards the Honkai Beast from all directions at incredible speed, leaving no blind spots.

Chapter 160 Alicia's Kiss

In the blink of an eye, these Void Spears pierced through the Honkai Beast, rendering all defenses useless. The Honkai Beast struggled desperately, and while the Void Spears and wounds disappeared from its body, Sirin's attacks simultaneously inflicted new wounds upon it.

The Honkai Beast, covered in Void Spears, looked like a giant hedgehog. Before long, it had over a hundred Void Spears, making it look quite pitiful.

Seeing that there were enough Void Spears, Sirin had a thought and detonated all the Void Spears stuck in the Honkai Beast.

The power of hundreds of Void Spears detonating simultaneously was undoubtedly extremely strong, and the shockwave caused Alicia, who was standing next to Sirin, to take a half step back.

Sirin waved away the dust in front of her and looked towards where the Honkai Beast was. Now, even if that Honkai Beast had extraordinary abilities, it wouldn't survive.

That's what Xilin thought to herself.
