Absolute Zone Zero: As a corpse, elegance needs no words

Fighter planes roared past, and dense machine gun fire rained down like rain. Immediately, a series of explosions and flames appeared in the sky.

One by one, the Ikai died and dispersed. Among the four Annihilation 20s, one did not attack the small Ikai in the air, but directly targeted Nineveh.

Two shells as thick as thighs and one and a half meters long broke away from under the tail of the fighter plane. As soon as the shells fell a little, red flames sprayed out from the tail, instantly pushing the shells forward.

The two shells intertwined and flew forward, as if they had self-awareness, constantly dodging the small Israeli shells that came to intercept them, aiming directly at Nineveh.

The fighter planes spiraled upwards, and tentacles and ether attacks burst out from Nineveh, but were all dodged by the four fighter planes with great agility.

The fighter plane that launched the missile flew up into the sky, then turned its fuselage to face Nineveh again, with the missile about to collide with Nineveh in its sight.

"Haha, take my Patriot!"

As the driver finished speaking, the flames of the explosion instantly engulfed Nineveh. For her who was recovering, this was undoubtedly adding insult to injury.

But at this moment, several messy beams of light suddenly burst out from the flames and almost hit the J-20 in the air. Seeing that the situation was not right, the four fighters quickly distanced themselves.

Xuan Li was standing on an ice crystal in mid-air, and at this moment a colorful beam of light was rushing straight towards him, as if it was going to pierce him directly.

"What's going on? Has the second phase started?"

Xuan Li watched the fighter plane's every move. He thought Nineveh would be weakened after being attacked again, but now it seems...

Ether crystals condensed in his hand, and strands of black crystals covered half of his arm. Then Xuan Li slapped the oncoming beam of light directly.

The beam of light condensed from ether energy seemed to fold the moment Xuan Li touched it, and shot to the side, hitting a building nearby.

After the attack was repelled, the flames dissipated and Nineveh appeared. Green stripes appeared on her body in the air, and several blue blades were suspended beside her.

On Nineveh's back, a new core was condensing. It took shape in the blink of an eye, emitting wisps of red light, which was quite different from Nineveh's other cores.

Xuan Li could feel that the fluctuations emitted from the "core" were completely different from those of Nineveh.

It's like another skeleton.

"Could it be..."

Xuan Li raised his eyebrows and thought of something. A small black ball immediately appeared and floated beside him.

It is the Cretan Hollow.

He looked at Nineveh, who was constantly soaring and twisting in the air, suppressing four Annihilator-20s, and his mind was calm.

Nineveh's strength has visibly increased a lot, and the changes in her body have given her additional bonuses in all aspects.

For example, the blue blade has a significant deterrent effect on the fighter's maneuvering.

"Since I've already failed, let me give it a try and verify my idea..."

Xuan Li opened his arms and drew his bow with an arrow.

A longbow made of ice crystals took shape in his hands, with strands of electric energy connecting the two ends to form the bowstring.

As Xuan Li pulled the longbow little by little, the energy of fire and space attributes condensed between his two fingers, and then quickly stretched out, condensing into a gorgeous arrow between the ice crystal longbow.

The red-gold flames were baring their fangs and claws, and the arrows were shining with power, looking like the feathers of a phoenix or a golden dragon.

Strands of tiny ice crystals condensed around the arrow, making the area around the arrow appear sparkling.

Xuan Li pulled the longbow into the shape of a full moon, and terrifying power emanated from the arrow. Nineveh in the air quickly noticed the movement here.

Her body was enveloped by a sense of crisis, and she no longer cared about the Annihilator-20 in front of her that was about to hit her. She quickly turned her body and continued to fly higher into the sky.

She is running away.

Even though she was knocked unconscious by Xuan Li's punch, and even though she was seriously injured by Xuan Li's sword just now, she did not want to escape.

But now, Nineveh was afraid.

"Are you scared...? Why? My arrow isn't much more powerful than that sword..."

Xuan Li's lips curled up into a smile, and his eyes fell on the new "core" behind Nineveh.

"Is it because this is the thing that was targeted by the attack?"

In Nineveh's instincts, the new "core" seemed to be more important than her own life...

Xuan Li suddenly understood something.

"Create a god, control..."

Their goal is to coexist with the Ikai, to control a small number of powerful Ikai through individual efforts, to control the void, and to take advantage of this "world disease" which is both a disaster and a blessing.

Through this, human development will undoubtedly be faster, and they can also explore the deeper secrets of the void...

Even the void disaster is completely under the control of humans.

For human use.

His guess may have some deviation, but it should be roughly correct.

There will be many failures along the way, and the price paid each time is undoubtedly huge, such as the Lamia Hollow last time, and the Izvestite Colony this time...

"Powerful ambition, is this the pride of mankind..."

Xuan Li's eyes flashed, and the arrow in his hand pointed at Nineveh from afar, ready to shoot.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is difficult. These people's ideas not only face difficulties in experiments and actions, but also face various other obstacles.

Xuan Li doesn't think that all of humanity will agree and recognize this method and support it.

Thoughts flashed through my mind in just a moment.

The next second, Xuan Li released his hand, and the arrow in his hand flew out instantly, like a red meteor.

A dazzling light streaked across the sky.

Nineveh had already gained some distance by this time, and had some time to react to the incoming arrows. Blades crossed in front of her to block them, and violent ether energy poured out, attacking the oncoming arrows directly, determined to stop them.

The arrow, bearing the etheric energy pouring down like a rushing river, slammed heavily into the blue blade, making a crisp sound, and then quickly penetrated it.

Then came the second piece, the third piece...

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nineveh gathered the scattered etheric energy that was pouring out and formed a huge shield in front of her.

Under Xuan Li's gaze, the arrow passed through the blade and directly collided with the defense that Nineveh had put all her strength into.

But the extremely strange thing was that the collision between the two did not produce any sound or movement, and there was not even the sound of the ether canceling each other out.
