The streaked-hair girl with black outside and green inside revealed a smile like a crazy beauty, and as her palms gradually closed together.
The storm that had been calmed around suddenly stagnated for an instant, then surged with terrifying momentum.
Wind was the simplest and most brutal application of this authority, while the limit of ideal fluid was to elevate this simplest and most brutal application to a higher level — for example, eliminating friction in airflow to make its speed faster and more efficient.
Ordinary wind couldn’t possibly hurt Pavana.
Companion Honkai Beasts of Herrschers would more or less possess some abilities similar to or identical to their Herrscher, such as Sesa’s lightning and Moyuli’s mental dissolution. This characteristic gave them, who were already thick-skinned and tough, higher resistance when dealing with attacks from the same Herrscher.
“But so-called resistance ultimately has its limits.”
Having completed the domain belonging to the Herrscher of Wind, 【Wendy】 showed a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
Now, this domain had truly become a forbidden zone on earth.
It was more terrifying than the hurricane Pavana had stirred up earlier.
No longer needing the impact of swept-up floating debris — or rather, such things simply didn’t exist in this domain.
Just being lightly brushed by the wind would cause things to collapse into dust, and invisible wind blades blowing across the ground would carve away huge chunks of earth.
If any other living being were to stay in this domain, they would instantly experience what it truly meant to be cut by a thousand blades and have their bones ground to dust.
Only the three-meter radius centered on 【Wendy】 was the sole safe place.
“Roar!”
Strong resistance and toughness meant Pavana wouldn’t die just from being in the domain, but that feeling of being dismembered and torn apart at the cellular level every minute and second was difficult to endure even for a Honkai Beast that had no specific concept of pain. Moreover, unlike those low-level Honkai Beasts, Judgment-class Honkai Beasts could feel pain!
All of its hundreds of eyes closed tightly at this moment, unable to open at all.
This also meant that Pavana’s most powerful attack method was restricted.
— Those thousand eyes weren’t just for show. At full power, they could all shoot out terrifying destructive beams like when attacking Kosma, and they could even stack together.
If it weren’t for this domain belonging to the Herrscher of Wind locking down this ultimate weapon, even the ideal fluid that could be called absolute defense might not be able to withstand the power of hundreds of eyes stacked together given Jiang Qiao’s current body’s strength.
“Bang!”
The giant ape, braving the strong wind, used its broad palms to block, barely allowing it to open a few eyes. The light beams shot from several eyes disappeared instantly after traveling less than two meters — in this terrifying ideal fluid airflow zone, even light beams condensed from large amounts of Honkai energy would be dismembered in extremely short time.
Actually, Pavana was currently in a state of being dismembered and subjected to slow torture. It was just that its recovery ability was too strong, and with the help of the high-Honkai energy environment, it could barely maintain the critical balance between regeneration and destruction.
Its sturdy hind legs suddenly exerted force, and Pavana, covering its face, charged toward 【Wendy】 with terrifying power despite the strong airflow that made movement nearly impossible — this was also its most conventional and powerful combat method.
Although in the eyes of Fire Moth personnel, as the companion beast of the Herrscher of Wind who could stir up storms, it was a long-range AOE mage super artillery platform, what Pavana was actually best at should be close combat.
Its speed was unparalleled, its strength was unmatched.
Even those thousand-eye light beams were divine weapons for close combat as far as Pavana was concerned.
After all, who in this world could dodge or block a thousand light beams fired point-blank?
Getting close to 【Wendy】 was the most correct decision, since even he, as the creator of this domain, had to leave a certain stable area to avoid the high-speed, hard-to-control airflow from affecting himself.
But this was also the wrong decision — this blank space was merely a habitual act. Jiang Qiao could completely shrink this stable area to be even smaller, with only himself as the range.
If that were the case, wouldn’t this seemingly safe blank space look more like a trap to lure prey?
“Wind Domain Crush!”
The girl who retreated by flapping her wings showed a cunning arc at the corner of her mouth, and her hands suddenly pressing downward caused the surrounding airflow to stagnate.
The next moment, the wind domain that had been suppressed with full force to only affect within one kilometer suddenly contracted.
“Sizzle~”
The extremely compressed wind domain was finally shrunk to a small range that could only accommodate Pavana alone, and the effect this brought was quite exhilarating.
The original boundary between regeneration and destruction was crushed at this moment, and Pavana’s entire being was being dismembered at extremely high speed, with flesh and blood turning into dots of purple light that were swept into this extremely small wind field, unable to escape.
After a moment, the beast-sized wind field shrunk once again, becoming a wind sphere no larger than a palm that fell into the girl’s hand, filled with purple light and containing a heart-stopping Honkai energy index.
“About 3,000 HW, I’d say.”
Sensing the Honkai energy content within, 【Wendy】 examined it briefly before stuffing it into her mouth. With the movement of her pale throat, she swallowed it down.
But unfortunately, it had no taste at all.
If anything, there was a dusty flavor.
Probably the authority didn’t process it cleanly.
However, with this body’s level, being able to achieve this much in such a short time while squeezing out all performance was already extraordinary performance.
But that didn’t matter much anyway, since with a Herrscher’s body, a little dust was nothing.
The devoured Honkai energy circulated within the body, spreading at a terrifying speed before finally settling in the Herrscher core.
“Around 5,000 HW, huh.”
Sensing the gradually slowing absorption rate, Jiang Qiao raised an eyebrow.
He could vaguely feel that he could probably increase by another 2,000 or so.
“By the standards of regular Herrschers, this is pretty strong.”
Trying to compare with the other Herrscher bodies he had used before, he sighed.
The Herrscher of Reason’s scale was about 4,500. After becoming the Herrscher of Truth, the reserves increased by about 1,000, though Herrschers of that type are the rarest among all Herrschers.”
The Herrscher of the Void… whether it was because of the pufferfish or that old bastard Otto’s doing, the Void Core now only had 1,500.
As for Miss Fatty’s Herrscher of Origin, considering its special nature, there was no need to calculate — single digits.
