The weapon released a screeching noise when it sensed its deigned target. The sight of the nine prisms made its fabric shake in anger and stretch toward the barriers.
Thudding noises mixed with the screech as multiple tendrils stretched out of the weapon and slammed on the golden barriers that divided it from the prisms. The creature remained unable to damage those restrictions, but it did its best to push them forward.
The effort was futile, but King Elbas wore a smug smile when he inspected those reactions. The weapon was behaving as planned. He only needed to unleash it inside the spherical structure that the prisms had created to start the last phase of the mission.
The sudden teleport had taken Heaven and Earth by surprise, but the group remained inside their world. Teleporting the large platoon that the rulers had unleashed in the previous area would require only an instant, but that would give King Elbas enough time to release the weapon.
The light around the group intensified as Heaven and Earth assessed the danger. They couldn't sense the complete nature of the weapon due to the golden barrier and Cursed Reality's twisted space, but they understood that they had to take the threat seriously.
The empty area that contained the prisms was quite vast. The edges of the sky stood far away from the group, but entire chunks of their structure disappeared as the rulers triggered strange activities.
The teleports were too slow, but Heaven and Earth had ways to quicken them. They sacrificed chunks of the sky's edges to send part of their structure in front of the prisms and create a humanoid form that the group knew far too well.
An avatar took form in an instant. The pieces that the sky sent in front of the prisms and the whiteness in the area condensed to give birth to a giant humanoid shape that Heaven and Earth could control to express a big part of their power.
The avatar was far from perfect, and it even featured many transparent spots that revealed a lack of energy. However, the aura that it radiated was dense enough to make King Elbas and the others freeze for an instant and lose part of the advantage gained through the sudden teleport.
The aura wasn't enough to keep the group staggered for too long. King Elbas was the first to snap out of that frozen state, and he followed that awakening by launching countless golden lines forward.
His action forced his companions to push through their weakened state to launch attacks. Only Emperor and Queen held back as Cursed Reality, Pellio, June, and the Foolery sent techniques toward the same targets prioritized by King Elbas.
The golden lines, a barrage of orange lightning bolts, a series of distortions in the space-time array, and the Foolery converged toward one of the transparent spots of the avatar's body. The attacks landed first, and their explosions suddenly disappeared to open a path for the winged pig.
The impact was so violent that the giant avatar bent backward. Still, the greatest changes involved its structure. Deep cracks opened on the transparent spot and stretched throughout the white body.
The cracks deepened until the Foolery managed to dig a hole into the avatar and come out on the other side. The winged pig's momentum was too intense that it continued to fly until it slammed on the spherical structure created by the prisms.
The attack didn't affect the structure at all. A burst of white light filled the area when the Foolery touched the sphere's edges. Everyone's vision became unreliable due to the blinding radiance, but a strange scene unfolded in their eyes when they managed to regain some clarity.
The Foolery shot past the avatar to cross the group and fly further back. Smoke came out from the entirety of its figure due to the many burns on its skin. The mere contact with the spherical structure had turned its body into a charred mess, and it was clear that it couldn't stop on its own for now.
Noah was still behind the group, so he sprinted toward the Foolery to catch it mid-air. The pig was in pain, but its eyes showed the resolve to fight. Yet, the damage suffered during the impact had made it temporarily unable to move.
Noah expanded the dark world to envelop the Foolery and enhance its healing properties. It wouldn't take long before it became able to move again, but Noah didn't know if that would be enough since Heaven and Earth had already bought themselves another instant.
King Elbas stretched his hand forward to plan the trajectory of the weapon. The hole in the avatar still existed, so he could send an attack directly toward the nine prisms.
Nevertheless, Heaven and Earth acted before King Elbas could complete his preparations. The shards dispersed in the area converged before the avatar and created a raging vortex that could hinder any attack.
King Elbas felt forced to retract his arm and voice a curse, but Queen and Emperor finally stepped forward. Queen appeared at the center of the vortex before unfolding her aura, and Emperor pointed his hand toward her before releasing a massive wave of blue energy.
The attack was incredible. Each of Emperor's blows seemed able to carry enough power to shake the entirety of the higher plane. However, the current situation made the rest of the group concerned and surprised since Queen was in the trajectory of the wave of blue energy.
The blow filled the entire area with blue light, but Heaven and Earth's radiance eventually dug holes in that barrage. The blue environment quickly returned to white and revealed its current state.
The vortex and Queen had remained untouched, but the same didn't apply to the avatar behind them. The blue energy had pushed it and had forced its body to bend backward.
Still, the cracks experienced the greatest change. The avatar already had multiple unstable spots and a hole, so Emperor's attack had shattered entire chunks of its body, leaving it in a maimed state. Most of its right shoulder and head had disappeared and had created a clear path toward the prisms.
King Elbas didn't need signals. He sent the weapon forward before following after it. The mission required the black parasite to touch the prisms, so he would use his body to protect it if necessary.
More figures appeared next to King Elbas. June and Queen left their position to side with the expert and protect the weapon as best as they could, but Heaven and Earth had already succeeded in buying themselves enough time.
The whiteness in the area churned and transformed into multiple humanoid figures. Avatars and privileged cultivators appeared between the weapon and the prisms to create a wall of experts ready to interrupt that attack.
King Elbas, Queen, and June prepared themselves for the imminent clash. Yet, it was pretty evident that their efforts couldn't open a path for the weapon. After all, their opponents counted tens of experts with battle prowess in the solid stage.
Pellio and Cursed Reality couldn't do much either. Removing or isolating part of those threats wouldn't change the situation. There were simply too many opponents.
Then, an oppressing aura filled the whole scene and forced the white radiance to gain dark shades. The entire area dimmed, and everyone immediately sensed the source of that event. Noah had raised his swords, but the power that came out of him had changed. Its weight could push back Heaven and Earth's radiance.

Author's notes: I didn't mention June in the past chapter, but she is on the scene. I also fixed the mistake.
Anyway, I'm in Singapore, and the days are pretty packed with stuff, leaving me little to no time to write. I'll do my best to find free hours and time, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow I won't have a single second for myself.. I hope to update more chapters soon.
