Chapter 1435 83: The North Wind and the Sun (Part 2)
Immediately, as the two collided, the warhorses were crushed under the pressure, and the chariots crashed into each other, breaking into countless pieces. The burning flames and firelight intertwined, indistinguishable from one another.
A few moments later, all settled into dust, with only a sprinkle of golden shards raining from the sky, and under the ripple of moonlight, the damaged Moon Crown restored itself once more.
Witnessing this scene, Celestia furrowed her brow for the first time.
Although the result was the mutual obliteration of both chariots, she realized that the power of the Moon Crown had not diminished much, meaning the other chariot in the silver lake was actually the golden chariot itself, just canceling its own destructive force under the extraordinary abilities of the Moon Crown.
Indeed, the Moon Crown did not possess the eternal power of the Solar Crowns, but as the origin of many legends of magic and secret techniques, the Moon held various magical powers beyond the Sun — twisting time-space, reversing time, altering realities, illusions and movements, among other bizarre abilities that made the authority of the Moon Crown always unpredictable.
After that, Celestia tried various attack methods, and each time the result was similar, easily neutralized by Tilan, and as Tilan grew familiar with the Moon Crown's mastery, Celestia began to feel a pressure of helplessness.
The Solar Crowns wielded mighty power, but the Moon Crown was also ever-changing; no matter how powerful the force or attack, if it couldn't strike or reach the opponent's core, it was just a waste.
Once more, a brilliant light spear fired, penetrated the Moon Crown, and after the dissipating of the light spear, the Moon Crown healed like a stream, still shining, glorious and flawless.
The battle remained in a stalemate, Celestia unable to destroy the Moon Crown, and the Moon Crown's power unable to rip apart the mighty Solar Crowns.
Once again they brushed past each other, the edges of the crowns grinding down, golden flames and silver fire shattering, turning into a scattered meteor shower, falling onto the planet below.
Time must not be delayed any longer; Celestia decided to change targets, and the entire Solar Crowns began to burn fiercely again, under its control and authority, the central star of the stellar system erupted with violent fluctuations, followed by vast energy from within the star transforming into fierce solar winds sweeping across the entire system.
Colorless high-energy particles traversed the star sea, reaching the planet's surface in minutes, tearing through the planet's geomagnetic protection, poured onto the surface, exciting and ionizing atoms in the atmosphere, myriad auroras draping the planet's sunny side.
But this was just the beginning, as the solar wind grew ever more fierce, any life exposed to it felt like receiving radiation, with the cellular genetic chains within being torn apart and destroyed, resulting in inevitable death.
This attack aimed not only to sever the Moon Crown's roots but also to deal a blow to the Silver Wings, akin to sacrificing ten thousand foes at the cost of three thousand allies, yet Celestia believed the Silver Wings would be tougher than other species, and as the favored ones of the Solar Crowns, they could better withstand the impact of high-energy particles.
For such indiscriminate broad-spectrum attack, Tilan had no better way but to use the Moon Crown's authority to make a large portion of the solar wind veer off course, passing through from the side of the planet, reducing the direct bombardment of particles on the planet's surface.
The solar might, the northern wind blowing, high-temperature scorching and cold winds intertwined on the planet's surface, causing the entire planetary climate to further disarray, driving countless surface creatures to find shelter, with only a few powerful transcendents being able to gaze from beneath the sky at the ongoing duel between Sun and Moon.
Time ticked away, with brilliant light shining upon the planet, and even with the full exertion of the Moon Crown's pull, many high-energy particles from the solar wind still poured onto the planet, destroyed the living intelligent beings on its surface.
The situation began to tilt toward the Sun, and the crown in space grew ever more radiant, exuding an irresistible might.
Just as Celestia thought this battle would ultimately end in her triumph, dazzling jets crossed the star sea, shattering that resplendent golden crown.
That was...
Her attention finally shifted from the planet to the distant dark star sea.
Majestic and menacing warships arrayed in the vastness of the cosmos, thousands upon thousands, arranged in a perfectly neat diamond formation, with flickering light from their grand axial main guns, the cold grey hulls advancing toward the Sun's brilliance.
Truly magnificent was the sunlight, but this fleet was even more colossal, continually emerging from the pitch-black triangular space-time rift.
Thousands...
Tens of thousands...
Hundreds of thousands...
Millions...
Boundless fleets spread across the star sea, like a gigantic shadow, slowly obscuring the brilliance of the star.
"Report, the Fourth Fleet has currently arrived at Ophiuchus Σ-7561 Star System, fleet is deploying, currently locked on target Black Sun, beginning to seal off the entire stellar system, preparing to activate Slaying Star Spear, three 'God Simulators' are in place."
Within the Titan Flagship of the fleet, generals stood on the bridge, watching the Solar Crowns on the planet's surface.
"Is that the Black Sun that triggered the crisis signal? I never thought I'd witness it in my lifetime."
"Besides that unknown Black Sun, there's also another 'Moon Crown' opposing it." Someone exclaimed while looking at the image zooming in on the display screen.
