196: Holy Judgment: Shackles of Light!

Meanwhile, at another battlefield...

"Roar—!"

Facing the Angel Nun army, which had instantly "resurrected" and whose strength had surged, the Alien Queen showed no hesitation, only the purest command to kill!

Her massive body transformed into a dark-gold streak of light, tearing through the air, bringing with it a suffocatingly foul wind, as she was the first to pounce on the nearest Four-Winged Angel Nun who had just completed her "divine descent"!

The nun's eyes were vacant; facing the Queen's thunderous pounce, she showed no intention of dodging.

She merely raised her arm mechanically, and the mechanical armguard, covered in Holy Light runes, instantly glowed with dazzling light.

"Buzz!"

A Holy Light Barrier, condensed as if solid, instantly formed in front of her!

This barrier was no longer the defensive divine art that the nuns had previously cast, requiring chanting and guidance; instead, it was as natural as breathing, with the Power of Rule condensing in an instant!

"Boom!!!"

The Queen's bone blade fiercely slashed against the Holy Light Barrier!

A deafening explosion rang out!

The violent energy impact instantly plowed the surrounding ground once again!

The Holy Light Barrier fluctuated violently, its light flickering erratically, and even fine cracks appeared on its surface!

It held!

Though difficult, this Four-Winged Angel Nun, merely at the Pseudo Transcendent-level realm, managed to withstand the Alien Queen's blow head-on—a blow capable of instantly killing an ordinary early-stage Transcendent-level—by relying on her pure, fundamental Holy Light Power of Rule!

This result caused a cold surprise to flash in the Queen's dark-gold compound eyes.

She could feel that the opponent's energy level was far inferior to her own, but the "quality" and "application efficiency" of that Power of Rule had undergone a qualitative leap!

It was no longer a crude stacking, but a precise weaving!

"Holy Judgment: Spear of Purification!"

The moment the Queen's attack was blocked, all Four-Winged Angel Nuns and all Six-Winged Angel Nuns had already completed their encirclement!

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, without any wasted motion, as if sharing a single combat consciousness.

Following a Six-Winged Angel Nun's cold and emotionless command, all Angel Nuns simultaneously raised their arms!

The dense light elements in the air furiously converged, instantly forming hundreds of sharp spears in front of them, composed purely of Holy Light and inscribed with ancient runes!

The spear tips locked onto the Alien Queen's massive body, emitting a terrifying aura capable of piercing through all evil!

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of air being torn resembled the shriek of the Grim Reaper!

Hundreds of Spears of Purification transformed into a golden torrent of lightning, tearing through the murky air, shooting at the Alien Queen from all directions!

The Holy Light Power of Rule contained in each spear far surpassed any previous divine art!

"Hiss!"

The Queen's massive body displayed astonishing agility, leaving an afterimage in place as her true form moved dozens of meters horizontally like a ghost!

Her bone tail behind her transformed into a blurred whip-shadow, precisely swatting away several incoming light spears, which exploded into golden rain in the air.

However, the attacks were too dense! The angles were too tricky!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Two dull tearing sounds rang out!

Two light spears broke through the Queen's bone armor defense, which was comparable to alloy, and fiercely embedded themselves into her relatively soft flank and a joint in one of her hind legs!

The Holy Light and the Fallen Power of Rule contained within the Queen's body instantly underwent a violent annihilation reaction!

"Roar-aow!!!"

The Queen let out a roar mixed with pain and fury!

Where the light spears struck, her flesh and blood rapidly charred and carbonized as if corroded by strong acid, emitting wisps of foul-smelling black smoke!

The Holy Light was like maggots clinging to bone, furiously drilling into her body, destroying her vitality!

Her proud defense and regeneration abilities were suppressed as never before in the face of this pure, fundamental Holy Light Power of Rule!

"Holy Judgment: Chains of Light!"

The Six-Winged Angel Nun's cold voice rang out again.

All Four-Winged Angel Nuns formed hand seals, and from their bodies, hundreds of chains, composed of pure Holy Light and flashing with runes, instantly extended!

These chains, like spiritual snakes with lives of their own, ignored spatial distance and instantly wrapped around the Queen's injured hind leg and tail!

"Sizzle!"

The Holy Light Chains reacted violently with the Fallen energy on the Queen's body, emitting a harsh burning sound!

The runes on the chains lit up, and a powerful restraining force emanated, attempting to restrict her movements!

Although the Queen's strength was enough to instantly snap a few, the sheer number of chains was too great and endless, greatly slowing her movements!

"Holy Judgment: Sword of Verdict!"

All Six-Winged Angel Nuns raised their hands high, and a gigantic sword, tens of meters long, formed from countless Holy Light runes, instantly materialized above their heads!

The sword body flowed with a liquid-gold light, emanating a terrifying pressure capable of severing all darkness!

Her cold eyes locked onto the temporarily restrained Queen, and the great sword, carrying the will to purify all, crashed down!

This was the full-power strike of hundreds of Transcendent-level powerhouses!

It was a blow comparable to an Epic-level powerhouse in a state of Rule Domain!

"Roar!!!"

Facing this deadly threat, the Alien Queen's dark-gold compound eyes suddenly contracted to their extreme!

She felt an unprecedented crisis!

The power within her, bestowed by Lin Feng and also at the Rule level—the chaotic Rules of "evolution," "plunder," and "perfect slaughter"—was completely activated!

She no longer tried to break free from all the chains; instead, she slammed the hind leg, which was pierced by a light spear and entangled by chains, fiercely onto the ground!

"Boom!"

The ground exploded! Using the recoil, her massive body twisted at an incredible angle, and the three limbs that had manifested on her back erupted with terrifying power, causing her entire body to spin at high speed like a top!

At the same time, all the dark-gold bone blades and bone spurs on her body lit up with eerie, light-devouring runes!

"Ch-ch-ch-ch!!!!"

The spinning Queen transformed into a giant, deadly top covered in sharp blades!

The Holy Light Chains that had wrapped around her were forcibly cut and broken by the sharp Power of Rule, enhanced by the eerie runes, the moment they contacted the rapidly spinning bone blades!

A cacophony of harsh sounds, like clashing metal, filled the air!

"Clang!!!!!"

Just as a large number of chains were severed, the great Sword of Verdict had already struck!

The spinning death top and the Sword of Verdict collided fiercely!

An indescribable roar shook the entire battlefield!

At the center of the collision, space was instantly covered with spiderweb-like black cracks, as if a giant stone had been thrown into ice!

A violent energy storm swept out like a tsunami, completely leveling the nearby ruins, and even the Fallen Creatures and Aliens that were slightly closer were torn to shreds!

Golden Holy Light and eerie rune light violently clashed, annihilated, and stalemated!

The great Sword of Verdict, with its unparalleled purifying power, continuously annihilated the eerie runes on the Queen's body and the arthropod limbs manifested by the Power of Rule behind her.

And the Queen's death spin, relying on extreme sharpness and chaotic rules, stubbornly resisted, even grinding away and shattering the sword's edge little by little!

"Crack!"

After several seconds of stalemate, the great Sword of Verdict finally could not withstand the clash of the two Powers of Rule and began to crack from its tip!

It ultimately exploded into a sky full of light rain!

"Pfft!"

The Six-Winged Angel Nun who unleashed the Sword of Verdict was hit hard, her body trembled violently, and she spat out a mouthful of blood emitting a faint golden light, her aura instantly weakening considerably.

The backlash from the clash of the Powers of Rule directly affected the portion of the Angelic consciousness she carried.

And the Alien Queen's spinning momentum also abruptly ceased.

Her massive body was shaken by the immense force, sliding back dozens of meters, plowing deep furrows in the ground.

Many bone blades on her body were shattered, and large areas of charred marks were burned by the Holy Light, especially the area on her back that had directly withstood the Sword of Verdict, which now had a huge wound deep enough to see bone.

Dark-gold blood flowed out like lava, dripping onto the ground and making sizzling corrosive sounds.

She was injured!

And her injuries were not light!

This was the heaviest blow she had suffered since her birth!

Her dark-gold compound eyes stared fixedly at the Six-Winged Angel Nun, filled with violent killing intent, but also with a hint of solemnity.

The power of these "Angels" was at an extremely high Rule level, and their coordinated efforts were actually able to unleash attacks comparable to Epic-level powerhouses!

"Target: Alien Mother.

"Threat level: Extremely high.

"Execute: Holy Light Matrix, Purification Protocol."

The Six-Winged Angel Nun wiped the golden blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes still cold and emotionless, as if it wasn't she who was injured.

She quickly issued new commands.

The other Angel Nuns immediately changed their formation; Holy Light once again circulated and connected between them, and an even larger, more complex Holy Light Matrix was rapidly forming, emitting a heart-pounding destructive fluctuation.
