Chapter 267
In the starry sky, the confrontation between Orlando and Admiral Mike was like two stars about to collide, erupting with suffocating tension.
Orlando, the Sea King of the Atlantis Empire, a powerful man who is half a step away from becoming a Saint, has the power to destroy the world with every move he makes.
Admiral Mike, although slightly weaker in strength, did not flinch. His golden fishtail drew dazzling tracks in the air, and every swing was filled with determination and resolve.
Their fights involved no fancy moves, only the most primitive and brutal collision of power.
Every confrontation caused ripples in the surrounding space, as if it would collapse at any time.
Admiral Mike gradually fell into a disadvantage, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and scars appeared on his golden fish tail.
But he did not retreat or beg for mercy. He just endured it silently and used his body to build an indestructible line of defense for Rosie.
Luo Xi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand.
She knew that Admiral Mike had put himself in such danger for her and to protect her.
Rosie's eyes were fixed on Admiral Mike, her heart beating like a drum, and every impact made her feel a burst of pain.
She could feel that Admiral Mike's breath was getting weaker and weaker, but he still didn't take a step back.
In his eyes, besides determination, there is more of a protective tenderness.
At this critical moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar mechanical voice sounded in Luo Qian's mind: "Host, long time no see, I, 001, am back again!"
The voice was cold, yet carried a barely perceptible hint of joy.
Luo Xi was stunned at first, and then a surge of ecstasy surged in her heart: "001, you're back!"
She originally wanted to ask about 001's report back, but the current situation didn't allow it: "Do you have any way to save Admiral Mike?"
Her voice was trembling, with a barely perceptible hint of crying.
"Of course! Host, you can always trust 001!" System 001's voice was still so mechanical, but to Luo Qian, it sounded like the sound of nature.
"The Lord God has considered that your current strength is too weak and you often need to overdraw points, so he can let you choose one ability to directly upgrade to the ninth level."
Luo Xi chose the wood-related ability without any hesitation.
She knew that the wood-based ability could not only attack but also heal, and was the best choice for her right now.
She must acquire the ability to protect herself and those around her as soon as possible.
As soon as the words fell, a powerful force instantly surged into Luo Xi's body, like a rushing river, washing over her limbs and bones.
Her mental power grew crazily at an incredible speed. The originally dry spiritual sea was filled in an instant and continued to expand as if there was no end.
Rosie felt her body filled with strength, and every cell in her body was cheering.
She clenched her fists tightly, feeling the surging power in her body, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
She knew that she was no longer the weak woman who could only rely on others for protection.
At this moment, Orlando launched a fatal blow.
His mermaid form appeared, and the huge blue fish tail was like the scythe of the god of death, slashing fiercely at Admiral Mike.
"Only death can wash away your betrayal." Orlando said coldly, his voice full of murderous intent.
Admiral Mike was no longer able to dodge. He closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
"No!" Rosie cried heartbreakingly, her voice filled with despair and pain.
At this critical moment, Rosie moved.
Her body was like a flash of green lightning, and instantly appeared in front of Admiral Mike.
Countless vines emerged from her body, weaving into a huge shield, blocking Admiral Mike.
Orlando's attack landed on the vine shield with a deafening roar.
The vine shield shattered instantly, but Orlando's attack was also blocked.
Blood was oozing from the corner of Rosie's mouth, but her eyes were extremely determined.
She knew that she had to protect Admiral Mike, even at the cost of her life.
Admiral Mike opened his eyes and saw Rosie standing in front of him. His heart was filled with shock and emotion.
He didn't expect that Luo Xi would rush out for him regardless of everything.
"You..." Admiral Mike wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Rosie.
"I'll explain it later. Let's not talk about it now. This time..." Luo Xi's voice was weak but full of determination: "Let me protect you."
She turned around and faced Orlando, her eyes showing no fear, only determination.
"Orlando, the person you want to kill is me, let Admiral Mike go." Rosie's voice echoed in the starry sky, and every word was like an oath, hitting everyone's heart heavily.
Orlando looked at Rosie, a complex expression in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman would have such strong courage and determination.
"Your Excellency, I didn't expect you to be so well hidden, but...
Orlando smiled mockingly, his eyes cold: "Do you think you can save him like this? Don't even think about leaving here today!"
After saying that, he launched another attack.
Rosie took a deep breath. She knew she had to fight.
For Admiral Mike and for herself, she must fight to the end.
Countless vines emerged from her body again. This time, they were no longer a defense, but turned into countless sharp arrows, shooting towards Orlando.
The battle broke out again, and the starry sky was filled with energy fluctuations, as if it could destroy everything at any time.
The battle between Rosie and Orlando has gone beyond the scope of strength. It is a contest of wills and a collision of beliefs.
In order to protect the one she loves, Rosie bursts out with unprecedented strength.
At this moment, her wood-based ability showed its true power.
Countless plants grew in the starry sky, some of them turned into solid shields, some turned into sharp weapons, and started a fierce battle with Orlando.
Luo Xi felt that her body was full of strength at this moment.
Every time, the system would increase her strength to the peak of the current stage. This time was no exception. She felt unprecedentedly powerful, the peak of the ninth level, half a step to the saint level.
It feels like I have touched the threshold of another level, and I am only one step away from entering a whole new realm.
She knew that her current strength was comparable to that of Poseidon Orlando.
Without any hesitation, Rosie used all her strength to block Admiral Mike.
She couldn't let him fight for her, she had to face it all herself.
Poseidon Orlando looked at Rosie who suddenly appeared, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
He didn't expect that this seemingly weak female actually hid such powerful strength.
"Do you think you can stop me?"
Poseidon Orlando spoke coldly, his voice full of majesty and oppression.
"I don't know, but I'll try."
Although Rosie's voice was soft, it was filled with unquestionable firmness, echoing in the silent universe. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Poseidon Orlando originally thought that he had a sure win, but he didn't expect Rosie to take the initiative to stand up, and he didn't expect that she was hiding so deeply. Who would have thought that such a petite and weak female would have the strength to fight with him.
His eyes became sinister, and the aura around him became more dangerous, as if he was an enraged beast, ready to devour anyone at any time.
The next moment, the two figures intersected in mid-air, and a battle was imminent. Although Rosie didn't possess powerful superpowers, she relied on her extraordinary reaction speed and agility to fight back and forth with Poseidon Orlando.
The collision of energies exploded like fireworks in the dark universe, a dazzling radiance illuminating the deadly space. Each attack carried devastating force, as if ripping everything around it apart. Each defense concentrated all the energy in the body; the slightest negligence would lead to utter destruction.
The two fought back and forth, but ended up in a draw, and for a moment it was difficult to tell who was the winner. Rosie grew more courageous as the battle progressed, a determined light flashing in her eyes, a desire for life, a yearning for freedom, and a determination to protect the one she loved.
She has to protect herself, protect Admiral Mike, and protect everyone she cares about. She can no longer be manipulated by others like before. She has to control her own destiny and fight for herself!
The rage in Poseidon Orlando's eyes nearly materialized, piercing Rosie like two bolts of lightning. This woman, this seemingly fragile saint, had dared to challenge his authority time and again, even threatening death!
Every time he swung the trident, it was wrapped in overwhelming force, as if to tear the sea apart completely. Under his control, the water sometimes transformed into an indestructible ice wall, sometimes into an extremely sharp ice blade, attacking Luo Xi from all directions, without mercy.
Rosie gritted her teeth and dodged with all her might. She knew she couldn't fall down. She had to buy time for Admiral Mike.
At this critical moment, a golden lightning streaked across the sky, and Admiral Mike stood in front of Rosie like a god descending from heaven.
He swung the sword in his hand, and the golden sword light collided violently with the blue water dragon, making a deafening roar.
"boom!"
With a loud bang and splashing water, Admiral Mike took the attack of Poseidon Orlando head-on. A huge deep pit suddenly appeared on the starship deck under his feet, and cracks spread around like a spider web.
Admiral Mike groaned, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he stood like a sculpture, guarding Rosie behind him firmly, not taking a single step back.
"Are you okay?" Admiral Mike asked in a low voice. There was a trace of imperceptible tenderness in his deep blue eyes, like a spring suddenly emerging in the desert, nourishing Rosie's dry heart.
"I... am fine." Luo Xi shook her head gently, but her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand, causing waves of pain. She could no longer remember how many times he had risked his life to save her.
Her mind was in a mess, complicated and chaotic.
I ended up in this situation because of him.
But now, for his own sake...
Rosie shook her head violently, as if to get rid of all these chaotic thoughts, and forced herself not to think about them.
The most important thing now is to get out of here first: "Let's do it together."
Admiral Mike wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and nodded gently. The word "hmm" was like a huge rock, falling steadily on Rosie's heart.
At this moment, the cold voice of Poseidon Orlando rang out again, like a sharp knife, ruthlessly piercing her last line of defense.
"Mike, you disappoint me so much."
Disappointment and heartache were intertwined in Poseidon Orlando's words. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Admiral Mike's heart hard.
Admiral Mike's body trembled slightly. He turned around abruptly, his deep blue eyes filled with complex emotions: pain, guilt, and determination...
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end, all he could come out was a heavy sigh.
"Go ahead, Orlando."
Admiral Mike's voice was low and hoarse, with a barely perceptible tremor. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, only determination remained in his eyes.
"Do you think that you two can be my opponents?" Poseidon Orlando snorted coldly, his blue eyes full of disdain.
His aura also exploded, like a giant beast in the deep sea awakening, crushing towards Rosie and Admiral Mike with the power to destroy the world.
The battle is about to break out.
Rosie took the lead in launching the attack. Countless vines spread out from her body, like a giant green python, and with a sharp whistling sound, they coiled towards the Sea King Orlando.
Admiral Mike followed closely behind, and with a wave of his hands, countless golden blades of light appeared out of thin air, pouring down on Poseidon Orlando like a rainstorm.
Poseidon Orlando's eyes narrowed, and he formed seals with his hands in front of his chest. A blue water curtain instantly appeared, protecting him and the starship.
The vines and light blades hit the water curtain, making a deafening roar and causing ripples.
The water curtain trembled violently, but never broke.
"As expected of the Sea King, his strength is indeed formidable." Luo Qian was secretly shocked, but she did not give up. She continued to mobilize her supernatural powers and intensify her attacks.
Admiral Mike was not to be outdone. He flashed in front of Poseidon Orlando and punched him.
The golden fist shadow, with indestructible power, slammed into the water curtain.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the water curtain finally broke.
Poseidon Orlando's eyes turned cold, and he slapped out with his palm. The blue palm print, carrying a terrifying pressure, collided with Admiral Mike's fist shadow.
"boom!"
There was another loud bang, and Admiral Mike's body flew backwards and hit the starship's shield.
"Admiral Mike!" Rosie exclaimed and wanted to go to the rescue, but was entangled by Poseidon Orlando.
Countless water arrows shot towards Luo Xi from all directions, blocking all her escape routes.
Rosie's eyes flashed, and the vines around her body grew wildly, forming a huge green barrier that protected her.
"Puff puff!"
The water arrows hit the vines, making a dull sound, but were unable to penetrate the vines' defense.
"Interesting." Poseidon Orlando sneered and formed seals with his hands again.
This time, what he summoned was not a water arrow, but a huge water dragon.
The water dragon roared and charged towards Rosie with earth-shattering power.
"boom!"
The vine barrier shattered instantly, and Rosie's body was knocked away, with blood spurting out of her mouth.
"Sissi!" Admiral Mike's eyes were bloodshot. He endured the pain in his body and rushed towards Poseidon Orlando again.
