Setting Lilith down, Enterprise spoke coldly to Eugen and the others, "Since you dare to attack our Naval Base, I trust you've already ordered your coffins!"
Clap clap clap!
Eugen laughed. "As expected of Lilith's Ship Girl, you certainly have a big mouth!"
Atago's Gaze focused on Enterprise, and then she said sarcastically, "Yo! Isn't this the strongest Legendary Ship Girl in the Pacific Governor-Generals Mansion, Enterprise? Wait a minute, it seems you're not the strongest in the Pacific Governor-Generals Mansion anymore. The strongest now is Shinano!"
Hearing Shinano's name, Enterprise frowned. "I admit I indeed can't compare to Shinano, but sinking you is just a small matter."
"Sharp-tongued, die!" Eugen didn't waste any more words. She erupted with a powerful aura and then streaked towards Enterprise like lightning.
"Good timing!" Seeing Eugen attacking, Enterprise didn't retreat but advanced instead.
Enterprise reached into the void, and the Ship-Destroying Bow appeared in her hand as she pulled the bowstring.
A golden arrow of light shot out from the Ship-Destroying Bow. After flying just a few steps, the golden arrow of light turned into a golden beam of light three feet thick.
The power of the golden beam of light was somewhat terrifying. Wherever it passed, space was distorted, countless amounts of air were cleared out and then continuously filled back in, hinting at the power of that single arrow.
Looking indifferently at the golden beam of light, Eugen was full of disdain. "Insignificant tricks, how dare you show off before me. Watch me cut it down with one sword."
Reaching into the void, a Ship-Slaying Longsword appeared in Eugen's hand.
Looking at the golden beam of light shooting towards her, Eugen slashed down hard. What looked like a casual slash was a precise hit on the center of the golden beam of light.
Boom!
The golden beam of light was immediately extinguished. After cutting it down, Eugen shot towards Enterprise again.
In the blink of an eye, she was in front of Enterprise, gripping the Ship-Slaying Longsword and delivering a diagonal slash.
The quick-handed Enterprise immediately used her bow to block.
The sword and bow collided violently. A low-pitched sonic boom suddenly rang out from the point of contact, and a ripple of energy that caused ripples in space erupted, finally spreading in all directions.
Ha!...
Using all her strength, Enterprise pushed Eugen back.
After flying back a dozen meters, Eugen stabilized herself. Just as she wanted to go and slash Enterprise with her sword, she discovered Enterprise had appeared in front of her and was pulling her bow right in her face.
At such close range, Enterprise was quite confident she could hit her. She believed that as long as Eugen took this arrow, she would surely sink here.
"Bang!"
A light arrow shot out. When the light arrow was only 0.01 centimeters away from hitting her, Eugen activated her special ability.
"Unique Ability — Time Stop!"
Once the ability was activated, the world turned black and white in Eugen's eyes, and she saw everything around her become still, including the light arrow Enterprise had fired.
Flashing to dodge the arrow, Eugen appeared behind Enterprise. Gripping her Ship-Slaying Longsword, Eugen swung out hundreds of sword qi strikes.
Only after seeing the sky filled with sword qi did Eugen deactivate the Time Stop.
The world's time flowed once more. Enterprise discovered that Eugen had vanished from in front of her, and the fired light arrow naturally lost its target, shooting into the sky before finally disappearing.
"Time Stop? How troublesome!" Using Precognition Ship Qi, Enterprise immediately discovered Eugen was behind her.
Turning her head to see the overwhelming sword qi, Enterprise showed no fear. She drew her bow, and hundreds of golden light screens appeared around her.
"Unique Ability — Infinite Spear Dance!"
With a low shout that echoed through the sky, golden spears emerged from the hundreds of golden light screens. These golden spears shot violently out of the screens, slamming hard into the incoming sword qi nearby.
"Bang bang bang!..."
Under the Gaze of Eugen and Enterprise, the hundreds of sword qi strikes and hundreds of spears finally collided like meteorites. In an instant, countless explosions rang out in the sky, and the resulting shockwaves caused the surrounding space to vibrate.
After shattering the last energy shockwave with her hand, Eugen once again gripped her Ship-Slaying Longsword and flashed forward to slash at Enterprise.
Enterprise was not afraid at all. She also flashed to appear right in front of Eugen to fire an arrow point-blank.
The two of them continuously flashed through mid-air—now in the east, now in the west, now above, now below. Every time they appeared from a flash, the surrounding space erupted with massive sounds and energy shockwaves.
On the other side, Takao and Lilith were in a standoff. Both regarded the other as a powerful enemy; to avoid exposing any weaknesses, they both waited for the other to make a move.
But after ten minutes, Lilith was the first who couldn't take it anymore. She was naturally hyperactive, and being forced to stand still like a wooden statue was a fate worse than death to her.
A powerful aura erupted from her body. Reaching into the void, a golden sword manifested in her hand. Stepping on the air, Lilith flashed and appeared before Takao.
The golden sword in her hand was like a bolt of golden lightning, carrying a fierce energy that made the space fluctuate as it slashed down toward the motionless Takao.
The power of this single strike directly shattered the space. The intense pressure of the wind caused Takao's clothes to cling tightly to her skin, outlining her curvaceous figure.
Looking at the descending golden sword, Takao's face didn't show the slightest ripple of emotion. When the gold was only half a foot away from hitting her, Takao moved, casually reaching out her right hand and pinching the air with two fingers.
What seemed like a casual pinch was actually an extremely precise catch of the slashing golden sword.
After catching Lilith's terrifying strike with her fingers, Takao said disdainfully, "Your speed is quite fast, but your strength is a bit lacking."
Seeing her full-power strike caught by Takao's two fingers, Lilith snorted coldly, "Hmph! What arrogance!"
Trying to pull the sword back only to find it held fast by Takao, Lilith raised her right leg. Countless golden Prayer Qi rapidly condensed before she kicked out fiercely toward Takao's head.
Seeing Lilith's kick coming, Takao reacted. She raised her left hand and clenched her fingers. Countless golden Aura gathered on her fist, which she then swung out quickly, colliding heavily with the lightning-fast kick.
"Boom!"
The kick and fist collided like meteorites. A thunderous sound suddenly rang out. At the point of impact, an energy shockwave that shook the space surged out violently, eventually spreading in all directions.
This kick contained Lilith's Authority—Golden Land. Golden Land allowed Lilith to instantly increase her strength tenfold. This power was so strong that Takao could no longer catch it as easily as before; she was eventually kicked away, turning into a streak of light that slammed hard into a small island.
