The orb of gentle light around Triton rippled, as a vibrant but soft light exuded froy undulated outward like crashing waves and eventually collided with Skyshade’s warped air Therelease of energy, that fired off every which way
The world shook as battle raged on either edge of the Wheel Thein the center
The God of Wisdoainst the Starlord The thirst and first most powerful pilots faced each other in full view of the Alliances and their people
One was the undefeated, irreplaceable idol of Drea star As Prometheus and Deimos met on the field, it was as Mo Xiao said – everyone collectively held their breath
Although the two other encounters nearby where wonderful spectacles to behold, this ends was far uard versus the new generation, and spectators were anxious to see ould come out on top
For soe victorious The Starlord’s reputation was itself a force of nature, but by Deimos’ own admission he was less than half the pilot he used to be A strong case could be made for Prometheus’ eventual success He was, after all, the master of control, Supersoldier of An Lun, and hero of the Eastern Alliance For er pilots, he was the supre to say otherwise

Mo Xiao’s reaction wasn’t unlike Lan Jue, Hua Li and Chu Cheng’s after discovering ‘big boss’’ improvement Likely many in the audience felt the same
Starlord was rooted in place; it didn’t run, it didn’t dodge There was a flash, and then the Starblade was inthe weapon’s length, as though it were itself composed of a low ree and sweep that had its peculiar blade approach obliquely
Lan Qing glowered at the screen, filled with an intense irritation This weapon, while not exceedingly dangerous, was like a fish bone in one’s throat – it had to be dealt with, or it would be a nuisance
The three figures were again reduced to one Coeus hung in the air, slightly off balance He seemed in a trajectory to fall directly on to Starlord’s blade
Both of Coeus erously as they knocked Starlord’s attack away With a twist, the Starblade was caught between the cutting edge of Coeus’ weapon and the hilt, locking it in place
