212: Intent to suppress
Alicia's gaze, like a tangible probe, pierced through the congealed air, through Lin Feng's blood-stained leather armor, and even through his violently beating heart.
In that instant, Lin Feng felt as if everything about him was being seen through by those eyes, which held endless years and cold hatred.
However, that soul-piercing gaze did not linger on Lin Feng for too long.
Alicia's sight slowly shifted, finally settling on the two massive figures behind Lin Feng.
The Alien Queen, scarred but still exuding a terrifying biological presence, and the Fallen Xenomorph, its body entwined with ominous black mist, its form twisted and grotesque.
Especially the latter.
When Alicia's gaze fell upon the Fallen Xenomorph, Lin Feng clearly felt that the holy light around her, which had been slightly subdued due to exhaustion, suddenly boiled violently like cold water poured into hot oil!
It was an instinctive revulsion and rejection, etched into her very bones.
As if she had seen the most defiled and blasphemous existence in the universe.
"Decay... Blasphemy... Seed of Heresy..."
Alicia's ethereal voice deepened, each syllable carrying the cold weight of judgment, like the grinding of ice.
The grace of the god of light scepter in her hand subtly lifted, and the miniature sun at its head began to accelerate its rotation once more, accumulating holy light capable of purifying all things.
The tip of the scepter pointed distantly at the Fallen Xenomorph.
An invisible pressure, capable of freezing the soul, instantly enveloped the Fallen Xenomorph like tangible shackles!
Lin Feng could even hear the faint groans of the Fallen Xenomorph's bones as they were corroded by the black mist.
But Alicia's movement showed an extremely subtle hesitation.
The scepter did not immediately deliver its destructive judgment.
On her flawless face, enveloped in holy light, her brow seemed to furrow ever so slightly.
This was not a lack of power, but more like a... an instinctive hesitation stemming from some kind of realization?
She seemed to see something in the Fallen Xenomorph that was entirely different from what she recognized as a "blasphemous thing," something... chaotic yet possessing a strange order, a paradox?
This hesitation was extremely brief, almost imperceptible, but it was indeed present.
However, the Fallen Xenomorph would not hesitate!
As a terrifying creation driven by pure malice, assimilation desire, and destructive instinct, it responded to Alicia's hostile and purifying lock with the most direct and violent reaction!
"Hiss--Gah--!!!"
A soul-shredding shriek erupted from the Fallen Xenomorph's fanged maw!
It was not a sound, but the wail of space itself being forcibly twisted and torn!
Centered on the Fallen Xenomorph, a visible, viscous, and tangible dark domain instantly expanded!
This domain was not pure darkness, but composed of countless repulsive forces intertwined.
The power of "annihilation," representing the ultimate disintegration of matter, corroded the spatial structure like invisible acid.
The power of "assimilation," capable of forcibly twisting all things and pulling them into its own chaos, was like billions of greedy tentacles.
Even more deadly was the omnipresent aura of "plague," capable of causing even gods to decay and wither; it was silent, yet carried the absolute malice to end all life and order!
The Decay Divine Domain!
At this moment, it erupted fully and without reservation!
This viscous, defiled dark domain, like a living tsunami, instantly engulfed Alicia and the pure holy light flowing around her!
"Sizzle!"
"Sizzle sizzle sizzle!!!"
The moment the holy light met the Decay Divine Domain, it was like a red-hot branding iron plunged into filthy ice water!
Ear-piercing sounds of annihilation exploded densely!
The holy light was purifying the decay, while the pervasive powers of annihilation, assimilation, and plague within the Decay Divine Domain were also madly eroding, polluting, and assimilating the holy light!
Two diametrically opposed forces, both representing an extreme law, engaged in the most primal and fierce clash and annihilation within the confined space!
The pure holy light around Alicia, under the erosion of the Decay Divine Domain, for the first time showed obvious "fluctuations" and "dimming"!
She seemed to have been thrown into the center of a constantly rotating millstone made of filth and destruction.
Although the giant net of holy light still resisted tenaciously, the intensity of its glow was clearly suppressed, and its edges even began to be stained with an ominous gray-white by the viscous dark power!
"Roar!!!"
At the same time the Decay Divine Domain erupted, the Alien Queen also let out an earth-shattering roar!
She keenly sensed the deadly threat posed by Alicia, and also sensed Lin Feng's will!
Protect the Master!
Shred the enemy!
Following the roar of the Fallen Xenomorph, the space behind Lin Feng, which had been torn by the power of Baal's Purgatory, was once again forcibly pried open by an even more bizarre and ominous power!
A spatial rift, larger and deeper than before, with viscous black-red energy flowing along its edges—the door to the Fallen Space—burst open!
"Hehehe..."
"Hiss hiss..."
"Ho ho ho...!"
Countless horrifying figures, making one's scalp tingle, a mixture of various twisted biological features, surged out of the Fallen Space like a breached dam of filth!
Some were like giant beasts forcibly stitched together from rotten flesh, some were like skeletal golems entwined with countless vengeful spirits, and some were simply masses of constantly wriggling dark sludge that devoured light!
Their forms varied, but the only thing they had in common was the aura of decay, chaos, and destruction emanating from them, originating from the same source as the Fallen Xenomorph!
This was a true Fallen army!
As soon as they appeared, they let out chaotic and frenzied roars, rushing like a tide towards Alicia, who was temporarily trapped by the Decay Divine Domain!
Their goal was only one: to pollute, to tear, to assimilate that pure light with their own decay and chaos!
The atmosphere of the entire battlefield instantly shifted from the absolute suppression when Alicia first appeared to a terrifying standoff, with swords drawn and bows strung, ready to erupt at any moment!
On one side was the Holy Maiden of Light from a hundred years ago, wreathed in holy light, wielding a divine artifact, but with greatly depleted power and temporarily trapped by the Decay Divine Domain.
On the other side was a continuous surge of terrifyingly twisted Fallen army, and the Fallen Xenomorph, the master of the Decay Divine Domain, which exuded a power that even holy light was wary of.
And the Alien Queen, standing by, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment!
And Lin Feng stood at the center of the storm!
He stared intently at the area where holy light and darkness violently collided.
Could Alicia once again unleash that terrifying skill that directly purified Elian and Baal?
He didn't know! But he absolutely couldn't gamble!
Once that power descended, let alone the Alien Queen and the Fallen Xenomorph, even he himself would probably not have a speck of ash left!
"I must leave a way out!"
Just as countless Fallen Creatures surged out, attracting most of Alicia's attention, Lin Feng had silently and very covertly completed his arrangements!
The ground beneath his feet, under the cover of the Fallen Xenomorph's domain power, quietly cracked open with an extremely subtle, almost imperceptible spatial rift!
This rift directly connected to the deep, chaotic interior of the Fallen Space!
With just a thought, Lin Feng could immediately leave this ruined place!
Only at this moment did Lin Feng finally breathe a sigh of relief, then his gaze once again turned to Alicia in the air.
