Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 356 Return to the Battlefield

"I...lost?"

Twenty meters away from the "Iron Curtain," Lin Qiong lay supine in a neat, human-shaped pit, his limbs spread out to the sides in a starfish shape.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, his face filled with lingering shock.

Lin Qiong originally thought that even if the "Iron Curtain" was powerful before it was upgraded to a Commander, he should be able to hold his own against it if he went all out.

To his surprise, his fully unleashed Heavenly Fire was defeated after only two seconds of stalemate with the "Iron Curtain".

Is the power of the "Iron Curtain" really that strong?

It has already possessed such terrifying power even before it has completed its upgrade.

What consequences would it have if it were to become a supreme ruler capable of annihilation?

"No, we must defeat the Iron Curtain before it completes its coronation!"

With this thought in mind, Lin Qiong immediately struggled to get up, but as soon as he exerted force, his body felt like it was falling apart, and a sharp pain shot through him.

Especially the left leg, it felt as if all the strength had been drained away, limp and powerless.

"Have you lost consciousness?"

Lin Qiong's heart tightened, and he slapped his left leg hard, but only felt a very slight numbness.

He was not a professional doctor, so he did not know exactly which part of the body was injured.

However, he did have an extremely simple and brutal way to solve this thorny problem.

"Black Abyss White Flower!"

With a slight thought, Lin Qiong conjured a pure white lance in his hand.

Lin Qiong gripped the gun handle tightly with his right hand, gently placed his left hand on his chest, and chanted softly:

"I am black from the abyss, I am white descended from the clouds..."

As the tongue-twisting prayer was uttered, the green glow representing life force gradually converged into Lin Qiong's body.

In just a short while, the human-shaped pit beneath Lin Qiong was filled with lush vegetation.

He could also clearly feel that his body was full of energy again.

After repairing his physical injuries, Lin Qiong stood up again and then looked in the direction of the "Iron Curtain".

At this moment, the headless, yellow-purple giant is engaged in a fierce battle with the other members of the train crew.

Although it was a confrontation, the situation... was completely tilted in favor of the other side.

For some reason, the "Iron Curtain" showed an unusual obsession with stars.

Previously, it had shattered Xing's defenses in one fell swoop, and then immediately launched a relentless pursuit of her.

In a similar situation, in order to stop the "Iron Curtain" from pursuing him, he tried to intercept them midway, but was no match for them and was knocked away.

However, the "Iron Curtain" did not pursue him, but instead turned around and continued its attack on the stars.

This is what Lin Qiong finds most incomprehensible.

"Does Xing possess something that attracts the 'Iron Curtain'?"

Just as Lin Qiong was feeling puzzled.

Meanwhile, Himeko and the others were covering the injured Hoshi while dealing with the headless giant.

To prevent the headless giant from getting close to the star, Danheng, March 7th, and Himeko are engaged in close combat with it.

The three of them dodged back and forth between each of the giant's punches.

Sometimes, they could seize the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the giants using their respective weapons and abilities, but the effect was not significant.

As for Xi Lian and Walter Yang, they were lurking on the edge of the battlefield, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

Under Xi Lian's superb archery skills, the headless giant's attacks were repeatedly interrupted.

This greatly alleviated the pressure on Himeko and the others.

And whenever the headless giant tries to bypass Himeko and the others to attack Shiren directly.

The black hole that Walter Young envisioned could also intercept it just right.

Even though the headless giant was incredibly powerful and could easily break free of the black hole's constraints.

However, once it emerged, it still faced an encirclement formed by Himeko, Danheng, and Sanyueqi.

Despite their excellent teamwork, Himeko and the others were able to handle the headless giant's attacks with ease.

But Lin Qiong knew that this was just the "Iron Curtain" stalling for time.

Even if Himeko and her allies manage to defeat the Titans in the end, as long as they can drag things out long enough, the true form of the "Iron Curtain" can still complete its coronation ceremony.

"We can't delay any longer."

Lin Qiong frowned as he looked at the stalemate.

"Let's heal Xing first, then we'll defeat this monster together!"

After formulating the subsequent action plan, Lin Qiong immediately rushed towards the direction where Xing was.

When he arrived, he saw Xing kneeling on one knee, pale-faced, supporting himself with his right hand on the flaming spear stuck upside down in the ground, breathing heavily.

"star!"

Lin Qiong quickly stepped forward, raised his left hand towards her, and prepared to use the creative power of the Black Abyss White Flower to heal her. "Are you alright?"

"It's just a minor injury... I just need to rest a bit."

Hoshi gritted her teeth, her face contorted in pain, yet she still managed to reply, "You go and support Himeko and the others first. I'll come over as soon as I've rested!"

"You're already injured like this, so don't push yourself."

Lin Qiong frowned and retorted with dissatisfaction, "Besides, Ji Zi and the others can still hold on for now, so the most important thing right now is to heal you first."

"But......"

Xing opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but was stopped by a look from Lin Qiong.

"Give me ten seconds," Lin Qiong said confidently. "Within ten seconds, I will definitely restore you to your original state."

After saying that, Lin Qiong stopped talking and focused on using the power of the Black Abyss White Flower to heal Xing.

Ten seconds passed in the blink of an eye.

Under Lin Qiong's treatment, Xing's originally pale face has regained its color.

"What terrifying regenerative power!"

Xing slowly stood up from the ground, gently moved her limbs, and then couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Such regenerative ability, besides you, is probably only possessed by the 'Abundance' Envoy, right?"

"No, the 'Abundance' Envoy is far more powerful than the Black Abyss White Flower."

Lin Qiong waved his hand and explained, "The Black Abyss White Flower cannot resurrect the dead, but the 'Abundance' Token Envoy can bring them back to life. The difference is quite significant."

"Let's not talk about this for now," Lin Qiong said, changing the subject. "Let's hurry over to Himeko's place."

"Okay." Xing nodded gently.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them sped off in the direction where Himeko and the others were.

When they arrived, they found that the headless giant had gradually gained the upper hand in the battle and was suppressing everyone present.

It clasped its hands together, and its thick arms instantly transformed into heavy hammers, slamming down in front of it.

The next moment, yellowish-purple energy burst forth from the ground like surging waves, then spread in all directions, repelling the people around them.

After defeating everyone, the headless giant suddenly sprang into action, its massive body bursting with astonishing speed as it hurtled towards Xilian in the distance like a cannonball.

Seeing that things were going badly, Walter Yang immediately tapped the ground with the Star of Eden in his hand, releasing gravity and creating a giant black hole at the same time.

Shockingly, the black hole and gravity had barely taken shape and hadn't even touched the headless giant when they immediately turned into countless red pixels and dissipated into the air.

"Oh no!" Walter Yang's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed forward, trying to intercept them personally.

However, there was still some distance between him and Xi Lian, while the headless giant had already swept up to her.

It's too late!

Just as the giant raised his massive fist, about to deliver a fatal blow to Xi Lian...

Two dazzling streaks of fire instantly crossed from the left and right sides!

"Put those filthy hands down!"
