In the Name of Empress-Chapter 534 - 332: Frozen_4

...

Floating Command Center, this massive airship resembling a small fortress was excavated from the underground ruins of Hansa City a few months ago.

Christine had renamed this peculiar airship from Hindenburg to Bright.

Hindenburg has long been annihilated in the river of history, but Light is eternal!

Christine was quite pleased with her renaming, leisurely boarded the floating airship, and commanded the entire war from there.

She yawned, her bloodshot eyes somewhat fierce, her already pale complexion even more devoid of color due to long-term depletion of energy.

Vampire eyes, Banshee complexion.

This could probably best describe her mental state.

She was really tired.

She couldn’t remember how many days it had been since she had a proper sleep; she could only snatch moments of idle time to secretly nap.

The negative effects of long-term sleeplessness and insomnia were quite pronounced.

Her face lost its luster, even gaining a few pimples. Fortunately, the Holy Mark on her face could cover these flaws.

Christine surreptitiously glanced at the Holy Water Bottle placed beside her.

The crystal clear surface of the Holy Water Bottle reflected her face in detail.

Christine sighed lightly in her heart, praying for the Goddess’s forgiveness, for she had lied.

She actually cared a lot about her appearance and feminine charm, previously just being stubborn.

Once this battle was over, she planned to rest well and restore her lost youthful charm.

She even intended to use her power for personal gain just this once, using masks soaked in Holy Water to hydrate.

As Christine indulged in her wild thoughts, a long horn blast sounded.

She quickly reached the railing of the airship, raised her binoculars to look at the enemy.

She saw a familiar figure she hadn’t seen in a long time, Sofia. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

She saw Sofia’s eyes—they carried a pure aura of destruction.

Sofia had come to kill.

Christine’s little heart pounded wildly. Although she had luckily survived the last conflict, she had also come to realize Sofia’s true power.

Even if she activated the power secretly lent by the Goddess of Light, she would still be no match for Sofia.

Sofia was so strong she seemed inhuman, like a monster.

Her style was entirely different from other Tier Seven powerhouses. While other Transcendents walked the path of the strong, Sofia was a god of the same level.

A bold idea flashed through Christine’s mind.

If the Goddess had strength on the same level as Sofia, could she definitely win against Sofia?

This bold thought startled Christine.

Repentance, repentance is necessary! The Great Goddess is invincible, and even at the same level, she can easily slay Sofia...

Right?

Christine had no time to ponder the answer, for Sofia had already arrived.

Personally serving as the Commander in Chief, Sofia greatly inspired the allied troops’ morale and unified their command.

They launched fearless charges.

A company fell, a battalion fell, a regiment fell...

Thousands perished on the charge path, completely indifferent, even smiling as they died.

That was Sofia’s charisma; she was the Holy Alliance’s greatest trump card.

The first line of defense was breached, the second line of defense was breached, and the Holy Spring Defense Line trembled!

Christine squinted her eyes, continuously pouring Holy Water from the Holy Water Bottle to replenish energy to the Holy Spring.

The war reached a fever pitch.

The Holy Alliance army used courage to make up for losses, while the Freedom Alliance army used the Holy Spring to fill the gap in numbers and combat power.

Sofia seemed to traverse the battlefield like a Death God, advancing slowly with the Azure Sword in her right hand.

No one dared to block her path.

Occasionally, a foolish idiot would rush up, and Sofia didn’t even bother to draw her sword; the chilly air swirling around her froze these clueless fools into fragments.

Sofia stopped one hundred meters from the Holy Spring.

"This is a forbidden area of the Divine Court of Light; heretics are forbidden to pass!" A young officer bravely blocked Sofia, holding a sharp blade.

Sofia expressionlessly placed her right hand on the sword hilt.

"Your courage is worthy of a burial with the Holy Spring."

She said each word deliberately, her voice resounding throughout the battlefield.

The previously noisy battlefield instantly quieted considerably.

The soldiers were dumbfounded; could it be that Sofia planned to slash the Holy Spring with one sword?

Putting aside the Holy Spring’s strength, even if it were an ordinary spring, could anyone dare to use weapons on it? Wielding blades against the Holy Spring would be classic sacrilege.

Was Sofia really going to commit sacrilege?

Christine, remotely commanding the entire army from the airship, was also dumbfounded.

Had Sofia gone mad? The Holy Spring’s material was mysterious, even the Battle of Divine Retribution could only temporarily close some of the Holy Spring’s functions, not destroy it.

Sofia was proficient in combat skills, but could she destroy the Holy Spring?

Under Christine’s puzzled gaze, Sofia drew her sword.

Christine could never describe the feeling of seeing that sword light.

Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment, and the one-meter long sword released a sword aura over a hundred meters long.

The blue light burst forth brilliantly, making many unable to open their eyes.

Sofia’s seemingly casual strike reached the pinnacle in both attack range and speed.

Christine couldn’t even see the speed of the sword slashing.

The wind rose, the snow arrived.

The already violent wind and snow came from all directions, transforming into ice crystals around Sofia.

"Slash!"

Sofia softly commanded, sword aura slicing toward the Holy Spring.

Christine breathed a sigh of relief; despite Sofia’s terrifying strength display, it was within her expectations.

She just didn’t anticipate that this lunatic would have the whimsical idea of slicing the Holy Spring.

Christine gracefully made an inviting gesture mid-air to mock Sofia’s foolishness.

Just try to cut the Holy Spring if you can, let me see it with my own eyes.

Christine’s lips curled in both ridicule and derision.

As she smiled, Sofia’s lips also curled slightly, with laughter in her eyes.

"Freeze!"

Sofia wasn’t aiming to destroy the Holy Spring but to let it feel the weight of Frosty Winter.

Christine’s face turned pale.

She stared blankly at the frozen Holy Spring, shaking her head desperately, muttering:

"No, that’s impossible, that’s the Holy Spring, how could it be frozen!"
