Chapter 432 SS-Rank Battle
Chapter 432 SS-Rank Battle
At 2:20 PM, Li Chenglong and the others arrived at the arena and took their seats, waiting for the arrival of the alien alliance.
Once both sides had arrived, Cynthia quickly went to the center of the arena and announced loudly, "The afternoon's match will now begin. Please welcome Sitros of the alien alliance to the stage, and please send your warriors from Earth to meet us."
Just as Zhao Wuji was about to get up, Cecily had already flown to the center of the arena, retrieved her signature weapon, the Soul-Slaying Blade, and assumed a fighting stance. The crowd looked at Li Chenglong with some puzzlement, assuming he must know something. Li Chenglong waved his hand: "Miss Cecily said she'd go first to bring us a chance to win. Actually, with the three of us here, I feel it doesn't really matter who goes first."
Cecily pointed her Zanpakuto at Sitros with her right hand: "I heard that our planet Merar was occupied, and you guys got involved too. Is that true?" Sitros didn't answer the question. Instead, he asked Lena, Roddick, and Sera, "Respected representatives of the Interstellar Union, she is clearly not a member of the human race on Earth. Is that acceptable?"
The three exchanged a glance, then Roddick stood up and said, "Cecily's space fleet has officially joined China and become a member of the Dawn Autonomous Region, obtaining citizenship in Dawn City. Therefore, Miss Cecily's participation in this duel is not against the rules."
Upon hearing this answer, Sitross said nothing. He turned to Cecily and said, "I swear on the honor of the warriors of Setan, we did not participate in the attack on your planet Meral. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Cecily nodded, believing him. Although Setan was notorious for its penchant for invading other planets, it also valued its reputation highly. Since Sitross could swear on his honor, there should be no problem.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Cynthia immediately said, "The first match of the afternoon session of the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament, Sitros vs. Cecily, shall begin!" In terms of raw strength alone, Sitros was no match for Cecily. Therefore, he immediately used the Setan Star combat technique "Overlord Fist," and he even directly activated the 5th level Overlord Fist.
Cecily was not to be outdone, immediately activating her psionic form. As an awakened SS-rank Seraph spirit of level 13, her psionic form felt even more magnificent. Three pairs of white wings made of energy appeared behind her, and her entire body radiated a powerful pink energy glow.
A fierce battle was about to erupt. Cecily, wielding the Soul-Slaying Blade, struck first, rushing forward at incredible speed. Her speed was so great that some lower-level ability users could only see her shadow. In battles between powerful individuals, even the slightest mistake or difference in skill can decide the outcome in an instant. Therefore, neither side initially used many skills, instead fighting using special abilities.
Both sides watched the fierce battle on the arena intently. Zhao Wuji said from the side, "Both of them have made great progress in their swordsmanship. At present, it seems that they are evenly matched. However, Miss Cecily's energy is obviously much stronger than Sitros's. I feel that this battle will be decided very soon."
Meanwhile, at the rest area on the alien alliance's side, Keltilan said with some surprise, "I didn't expect that woman from Meral to be so strong. It seems that Sitros is going to lose. Just who is he?"
Noctor, a Kiel alien, explained, “She was the eldest daughter of Synapse, the king of the Kiel people we conquered. However, after we completely occupied Kiel, she and her sister and others disappeared. We only learned about their resistance a universe year ago, which they had organized to overthrow our rule. The attack on the Mars base some time ago was also their doing.”
As they were still chatting, Cecily unleashed three enormous pink blades, striking Sitross simultaneously. Sitross could only leap into the air to dodge, but Cecily smiled slightly, suddenly appearing in mid-air and delivering a powerful kick that sent Sitross flying out of the arena.
Li Chenglong was the first to applaud: "Good! Miss Cecily took advantage of the fact that the Setan alien was a bit clumsy after using the Overlord Fist, and used three sword beams to force him into the air. In the air, a person cannot use leverage, so with a full-force attack at this moment, he had nowhere to dodge and could only be knocked away."
Cecily, however, showed no sign of joy. Hovering in the air, she pointed her knife at Noctor, who was resting on the other side, and roared, "Do you dare to fight me to the death?!"
Nocto seemed unsurprised. He lightly tapped the armrest of his chair, and his body appeared in the center of the arena. Erica glared angrily at Nocto and said furiously, "He's the one who led the alien coalition to invade our capital. My father and mother died at his hands." Alice added from the side, "And not only that, he and his troops also captured many of our royal guards and modified them. The warrior zombies you fought before, Brother Li, were created from our royal guard soldiers through their modifications."
Before Cynthia could speak, the fight between the two had already begun. Upon seeing this, Cynthia immediately retreated to the side. Although she was also a level 13 powerhouse, in terms of strength, she was no match for either of the two people currently fighting.
Cecily drew her sword in anger, her speed and power far surpassing her previous fight with Sitros. Noctor wielded two ornately decorated pistols, each equipped with a short sword at the tip, allowing for both long-range shooting and close-quarters combat.
As Noctor's battle began, in a box behind the alien coalition forces, Ingram respectfully addressed Emperor Nothos: "Your Majesty, your brother Noctor's battle has commenced." Nothos snorted and coldly replied, "Then let's hope he wins."
Ingram fell silent, inwardly cursing himself for speaking at this crucial moment; hadn't he just asked for trouble? Although the Kiel people had now left their home planet and become wanderers in the galaxy, their power was still considerable.
When the attack on Meral was underway, Emperor Nothos of Kiel issued several orders the day before his brother Noctor was about to capture the capital, summoning him back to allow Babar to lead the final assault. However, Noctor, fully aware of his brother's intentions, ignored these orders and led his troops to conquer Meral's capital. This earned him considerable popular support within the army and among the Kiel's leadership, posing a significant threat to Emperor Nothos's position.
Notos watched the battle in the arena, lost in thought. Meanwhile, the fight had reached a fever pitch. Noto, the strongest of the Kiel aliens, was a level 13 superhuman, renowned for his power as the strongest Kiel in 100,000 years.
Having already expended considerable energy in her battle with Sitros, Cecily knew after ten minutes that she would surely lose if the fight continued. With that in mind, she feigned an opening, and as Noctor attacked, she vanished in a flash, appearing on the other side of the arena.
"Summoning Spirit!" Cecily shouted. Instantly, a six-winged angel, over ten meters tall, appeared above her head. The angel was dressed in magnificent attire, holding a shield in its left hand and a sword in its right. As Cecily continuously poured energy into it, the energy emanating from the six-winged angel's sword grew stronger and stronger.
Nocto, however, didn't seem particularly surprised. He laughed and said, "Spirit summoning? That's not something only you Awakened Ones can do. I'll show you the strength of the strongest Kiel alien. Spirit summoning!"
Immediately, a massive burst of energy shot out from Nocto's body, coalescing above his head into a gigantic monster that bore a striking resemblance to the Gil aliens. As he continued to inject energy, the monster's gaping maw began to emit a dazzling white light, clearly indicating the accumulation of immense power.
"Judgment Storm!" Cecily made the first move. The six-winged angel hovering in the air suddenly swung its greatsword, and a tornado formed by enormous energy spewed out from the tip of the greatsword, rushing towards the giant monster opposite.
Noctor clenched his fists and unleashed a powerful "Particle Breath!" The giant monster in the air also spewed out a white energy wave from its mouth, rushing towards the oncoming energy storm.
