Chapter 59: Imitation and Splitting

A deafening roar echoed through the sky, and a terrifying energy shockwave swept across the mountaintop like a tsunami.
The already dilapidated dome of the observatory’s main building was completely blown away by the impact, and countless pieces of rubble and steel were swept into the sky and rained down.
The people on the ground seemed to be teetering on the brink of collapse.
Chen Dongyang stood in front of Jiang Yuxin and Yin Qingle, looking up with difficulty at the visually striking scene.
His face turned pale, and he prayed in his heart that Yin Xiran was still alive.
Jiang Yuxin, who was protected by him behind her, was not panicked at all.
After all, her mental power was always on Yin Xiran, paying attention to her every move.
‘Only…’
She turned her gaze towards the “angel,” not knowing if it was her illusion.
Jiang Yuxin felt vaguely familiar with the enemy’s use of energy.
The beam of light lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.
Yin Xiran was still floating in the air, panting heavily.
Although her face was as pale as paper, at least she didn’t look seriously injured.
But her face at this moment was not showing fatigue, but a complex expression of shock, anger, and disbelief.
She stared at the monster in the distance, then subconsciously turned around and glanced at her sister on the ground who was looking at her with a worried look on her face.
Although the nature of the energy was completely different, the way that energy was used… that attack mode of highly compressing the energy, condensing it into a beam, and penetrating everything with pure destructive force was exactly the same as the crimson energy released by her sister when she lost control.
‘Is this imitation?
Or learning?’
Jiang Yuxin, lying on the ground, realized this instantly.
She hadn’t expected the monster to have mastered some of Yin Qingle’s abilities after just one round of fighting.
She was now curious: if Yin Xiran hadn’t ended the fight in time, would the “angel” have been able to copy Yin Xiran’s abilities, or her own?
“It looks like we can’t continue playing…”
Yin Xiran’s eyes turned cold, and she also realized the seriousness of the matter.
She did not intend to delay any longer, and shot out from the air like a cannonball, rushing towards the angel.
The “angel” seemed to have sensed the sudden change in her aura, and the countless eyeballs on its body once again turned to her, and the holy chanting sounded again.
However, this time, Yin Xiran didn’t even bother to build a defensive barrier.
She simply raised her hand and slowly spread her five fingers in the direction of the “angel.”
“It’s noisy.”
Before she finished speaking, the air within a ten-meter radius centered on the “angel”: oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide… all gas molecules were extracted, forming a spherical area of absolute vacuum.
Sound needs a medium to propagate.
Without air, the chanting that was enough to shake the soul would abruptly cease.
The whole world fell into absolute silence in an instant.
The “angel” seemed to be stunned by this sudden change.
Its huge white body twitched slightly in the vacuum, but it suffered no substantial damage.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin Xiran was already less than ten meters away from the “angel.”
She spread her hands, a faint white light flickering in her eyes.
“That’s it, game over.”
There weren’t any earth-shattering sound or light effects.
The angel’s wriggling white flesh suddenly began to disintegrate and dissipate.
At the most fundamental molecular level, the complex organic macromolecular chains that comprised its tissues were instantly severed.
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen… these fundamental atoms were stripped away one by one, transforming into their most primitive elements and dissipating into the vacuum.
In just one second, a huge hole with a diameter of more than two meters and extremely smooth edges appeared on the “angel’s” body.
“——!!!”
A silent scream, more shrill than any before, exploded in everyone’s spirit.
The angel’s massive body surged violently, the granulation tissue at the wound throbbing frantically, attempting to repair the horrific damage.
However, its regeneration rate was completely unable to keep up with Yin Xiran’s wanton and ruthless decomposition speed.
“Interesting body structure, strong regenerative ability.”
Yin Xiran commented expressionlessly.
“But it’s meaningless.”
She tilted her head slightly, and another hole appeared out of thin air on it.
Faced with this fundamentally annihilating attack, the Angel finally felt an unprecedented fear.
Abandoning its futile attempts at regeneration, the blood-red cross-shaped slit in the center of its body opened again, as if attempting to repeat its old trick and devour everything around it.
“Do you think I’ll let you use the same move a second time?”
Yin Xiran chuckled and clasped her hands together.
Then, the huge cross crack of the “Angel” closed in an instant under the irresistible terrifying force.
The eyeballs densely covered on its body rotated wildly, but gradually shriveled up in this high-pressure environment.
The energy gathered in the “angel’s” body began to boil and burn.
The next moment.
“Boom—!!!!!”
A terrifying explosion, so dull that it seemed to shatter all the internal organs, exploded from within the “Angel”.
The angel’s massive body exploded like a water bag.
Countless clumps of white flesh, shattered eyeballs, and a viscous, foul mixture of various unidentified tissues and fluids erupted in all directions.
A disgusting rainstorm composed of countless pieces of meat and mucus instantly swept over the entire observatory.
Yin Xiran was well prepared.
An invisible repulsive field protected her tightly, and all the filthy things that flew towards her were bounced away the moment they approached her body.
She quietly floated in the filthy rainstorm, like a spotless snow lotus, staring indifferently at the masterpiece she had created.
“It seems that I’m not so invincible after all.”
However, before she finished her words, the remains of the “angel” that had been blown to pieces in the sky underwent another strange transformation.
The slowly falling fragments of flesh, which should have lost their power, began to squirm and expand frantically the moment they hit the ground.
Eyeballs opened again within the shredded flesh, twisting and combining on the ground, converging at a speed visible to the naked eye into a dozen smaller, but equally terrifying “little angels.”
The situation reversed in an instant.
They were no longer facing an enemy.
But an army.
Yin Xiran hovered in mid-air, her expression frozen in an instant, her beautiful brows knitted together in a fierce frown.
On the ground, the dozen or so small monsters, formed from agglomerated pieces of flesh and slime, had risen to their feet.
Their single, massive eyeballs swiveled in unison, their emotionless gaze fixed on her.
“It’s a really tough thing.”
