Just as Tendo began to 'rest' again like an old man, the scene of the theatrical version shifted to the underground space where Chen Kong and the others were located.
Because the battle between Tendo and Shuang Mo Bing took place in a 'Dream Space,' the battle seemed to last a long time, but in reality, only a very short time had passed—the so-called 'fleeting dream.'
Therefore, when the theatrical version's scene shifted to Chen Kong and the others, the events happening here directly continued the battle where Chen Kong faced the two brothers, Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang.
[Star Frost Faction Underground Base, Circular Prison Area]
The Profound Ice Cage holding Isabelle was still 'hissing' with cold air. Ice crystals condensed into delicate, beautiful, but murderous ice flowers on the cage's surface.
Not far from this Profound Ice Cage, Chen Kong was struck by a huge ice pillar. He was sent flying backward and slammed heavily onto the cold ground.
The biting cold seeped through the ground and into his clothes, making his teeth chatter.
But more than his physical troubles, Chen Kong was more concerned about the two figures hovering in the air not far away.
Was a combination of two Third-Tier High-Grade Star Envoys truly something they could contend with?
Not only did Chen Kong know the answer to this question, but the two brothers, Shuang Hang and Shuang Yuan, in the air, knew it as well.
Completely different from the solemnity they showed when facing Tendo earlier, they looked down at Chen Kong and the others below, their eyes as cold as if they were watching three ants.
Yet, even knowing the vast disparity in power between themselves and the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers, Chen Kong had no intention of giving up.
Gritting his teeth, he quietly activated the 'Mark of the Void' within his body to mitigate the influence of the extreme cold environment. At the same time, Chen Kong's left hand slowly moved toward his waist, as if planning something in secret.
"Still trying to struggle?"
Looking at Chen Kong, who had clearly recovered his ability to move but was still pretending to be trapped.
Shuang Yuan raised his hand, gathering a three-inch ice blade at his fingertip, and casually hurled it towards Chen Kong.
The ice blade cut through the air, trailing fine ice crystals. Its speed was so fast that Chen Kong had no time to react.
In the nick of time, Liu Ma roared and lunged over, using his shoulder to take the full force of the blow.
The instant the ice blade pierced his gilded flesh, the cold air immediately spread from the wound, covering nearly half of his body.
"Liu Ma!"
Vivian saw this and hurriedly activated the 'Void Cannon' on her back.
Three energy blasts shot towards the two brothers, but the projectiles were instantly frozen into ice blocks by a pale blue, extremely cold energy half a meter in front of the Shuang Hang and Shuang Yuan brothers. They shattered into powder with a 'crack.'
"Overestimating yourself."
Looking at Vivian not far away, Shuang Yuan sneered. He raised his hand and waved, and countless ice prisms appeared from all directions, falling like a rainstorm toward Vivian.
Seeing the dense barrage of ice prisms, Vivian quickly activated the quantum shield of her Mecha Battlesuit.
Although the quantum light shield blocked the first wave of ice prism attacks, the ice prisms seemed relentless, continuously falling without any sign of stopping.
Soon, the light shield was covered in cracks and was about to collapse.
Watching the scene where Chen Kong and the others couldn't even manage to summon the 'God Descent' ritual of the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers, the Dimensional Audience once again felt Tendo's power.
It was important to remember that when Tendo faced the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers in Deep Blue City, it was these two who were trapped and completely crushed.
Comparing the performance of the protagonist group with that of Tendo, Tendo's formidable strength was completely visualized at this moment.
'Chen Kong and the others are too miserable! They are literally being pinned to the ground and beaten!'
'Compared to the scene where Tendo fought these two brothers before, the gap is too huge!'
'Stop pretending, Chen Kong. Find a way to summon Tendo.'
Bang!
Just as Vivian was about to collapse, a crisp gunshot suddenly rang out.
A silver Mark of the Void bullet shot toward Shuang Yuan's brow.
Chen Kong took advantage of the moment Shuang Yuan was distracted by attacking Vivian and launched a sneak attack using the 'Void Weaver' hidden in his sleeve!
Knowing the effect of the Mark of the Void, Shuang Yuan decisively erected three ice walls in front of himself.
But surprisingly, the Mark of the Void bullet actually curved in mid-air, bypassed the ice walls, and precisely hit the lock of the Profound Ice Cage holding Isabelle.
Crack!
Under the influence of the Mark of the Void, the ice prison's restriction instantly loosened. The pale blue runes flickered a few times, on the verge of shattering.
Shuang Yuan's face showed not worry, but a hint of sarcasm.
"Did you think we didn't know the destructive power of the Mark of the Void against Star Energy Techniques?"
Hearing Shuang Yuan's words, Chen Kong's heart sank instantly.
Soon, he understood the meaning behind Shuang Yuan's words.
The Profound Ice Cage clearly had three layers of restrictions, and his Mark of the Void bullet had only destroyed the first one. It had failed to affect the subsequent two restrictions in the slightest.
Despair.
Looking at the two remaining restrictions, which were stronger and more complex, a trace of despair flashed in Chen Kong's eyes.
Chen Xing had clearly helped them 'resolve' the trouble of Jeremiah. Yet, they still failed to seize this excellent opportunity to rescue their companion.
Weakness, powerlessness...
Having left Steam City, this marginal city of the New Federation, Chen Kong found his own strength increasingly insufficient.
Ignoring Chen Kong, who was sinking into self-doubt, Shuang Yuan raised his hand, preparing to completely freeze Chen Kong and stop him from causing further obstruction.
But just then, an unexpected development occurred.
A sudden rush of footsteps came from the nearby passage entrance, and then Jeremiah stumbled out of the passage.
His left arm was empty, ice crystals condensed on the wound, and his face was as pale as paper, clearly in critical condition.
Seeing this, the expressions of the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers instantly changed.
Although Jeremiah's personality was out of place in the Star Frost Faction, and his belief in the Frost God was full of intriguing inquiry, it was undeniable that his talent was the best among the younger generation of Frost Star Envoys, bar none.
Therefore, despite their many dissatisfactions with Jeremiah, the Star Frost Faction had to ensure Jeremiah's safety and growth for the sake of the special upcoming 'Star Dome Ladder Ranking Competition.'
Without any hesitation, the Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang brothers immediately abandoned Chen Kong and the others, who were about to be annihilated, and instantly appeared beside Jeremiah.
Shuang Yuan supported the tottering Jeremiah and asked, "What happened, Jeremiah?"
Jeremiah clutched his wound, panting heavily. "It's the Star Envoy Association of Crimson City. They suddenly attacked."
"How is that possible!"
Shuang Yuan and Shuang Hang cried out in surprise, their faces turning ashen.
"We clearly arranged with the Crimson Branch in advance that they wouldn't interfere as long as our conflict was limited to Star Envoys and didn't affect the lives of the local residents."
"They wouldn't suddenly tear up the agreement."
Jeremiah replied with a bitter smile, "But the fact is, two branch teams have already broken through the base's defenses and are about to arrive here."
"If I hadn't used a secret technique to trap them and the Demon Blade from the Blazing Sun Family, I might have already been torn to shreds by that madwoman."
