A high ponytail of fiery, dancing orange-red hair was tied up behind her head.
Crimson-gold, half-plate armor covered the vital points of her chest and limbs. The demonic runes engraved upon it bore a striking resemblance to the [Death Marks] that had ford the Emperor's Divine Halo.
With her combat boots, her height reached a solid 170 centiters.
She possessed a very standard human female figure, and her face was unmistakably that of the War Temple. The two greatswords, the [Nirvana Fla Swords], crossed behind her back, were scattering sparks all over the ground.
A humanoid, Judgent-class Honkai Beast:
[Primordial Species · War Temple]
Of course.
Although her external form was almost identical to a human's, what was inside was sothing completely different.
Just like Lu Xing during his Knight Captain period, whether it was the armor and shell that constituted her external defense, or the energy pipelines (tentacles) that supported her from within and connected to her Honkai Core, everything was composed of pure Honkai energy. Because she was enhanced by Lu Xing's Honkai energy, the concentration around the War Temple's core had already approached the level of "Imaginary Energy," which was the reason she could display the combat power of a Judgent-class.
As for the other parts that were obviously not human at a glance, it was her eyes, which were distinctly different from a human's. In the center of her ruby-like, shining pupils was a texture completely identical to the "Authority of Fla" engraved on the Emperor's Honkai Crystal.
Even a passing glance held the great power to burn an ordinary human directly to ash.
A single streak of deep blue, from which ice crystals seed to fall, was particularly striking in her silver hair that just touched her shoulders.
Cyan-silver, full-body heavy armor enveloped her. The left-shield, right-spear combination was no different from her ti as a Temple-class. And even though her body was much smaller than her Temple-class form—though a height of two ters was excessively tall for a human—it seed to exude a sense of security when clad in this armor.
Her face, completely hidden beneath the helt, could not be seen for the ti being.
However, after the Famine Temple completed her advancent, the two massive weapons in her hands were actually more eye-catching.
The lance was not just a simple long spear. This modular weapon, within its exaggerated four-ter length, concealed a 1.7-ter-long one-handed sword for close-quarters combat. Similarly, the Famine Temple's shield was not just a defensive weapon. When a "siege battle" was required, this large, wing-shaped shield could be super-broken down into a shield-axe form at any ti.
This was the second of the Four War Temples:
[Primordial Species · Famine Temple]
The Plague Temple had beco an expressionless loli with short, blue-black hair.
Unlike the previous two War Temples, the Plague Temple was not clad in heavy armor. The pure black "clothes" woven from Honkai energy were more akin to leather armor, and the "Authority of Wind" had gathered in her hands to form a greatbow with a length that exceeded her own height. If she were standing on the ground, the Plague Temple wouldn't even be able to draw the bow vertically to shoot.
There was no quiver, nor were there any arrows.
The arrows created by compressing the power of wind with [Perfect Fluid] possessed a terrifying penetrating power that surpassed this tier. The "feathers" that dotted the edge of the nearly transparent, cyan longbow could also beco sharp blades capable of severing flesh. A seemingly large weapon did not an a lack of flexibility, and a seemingly ranged profession was not truly ranged. When needed, the longbow in the Plague Temple's hands could even be dismantled into two curved blades.
If the War Temple represented the pinnacle of destructive power among the Four, and the Famine Temple represented the sturdiest defense, then the [Primordial Species · Plague Temple] possessed the greatest speed of the Four.
As for the last one...
"The great Death Temple."
Flowing, straight golden hair styled in the perilous 'mom' hairstyle, paired with a gentle expression and a 'greatness' that stood in stark contrast to the Plague Temple—
All of these.
Combined to form the characteristics of the Death Temple.
As the final color of the Emperor's "gold, black, silver, and white" sche—pure white—the Death Temple, dressed in a pure white nun's habit with golden runes embroidered on the edges, had an appearance and attire that could be said to be completely at odds with her na.
The crosier in the Death Temple's hand, shaped like a cross (or perhaps a holy spear), was, like the runes on her nun's habit, an external manifestation of the "Authority of Binding."
Moreover, this item, much like the "Oath of Judah," had a second form that matched the Death Temple's true personality—which was, in fact, a yandere outburst. When her nun's habit was dyed from pure white to pure black, the crosier, entering its combat form, would also transform into a giant, crescent-shaped scythe.
Lu Xing gave the Death Temple the Authority of Binding not just for combat power, but also as a ans of controlling the legions. The scale of the legions was growing ever larger, and who knew to what extent they would expand in the future.
As the Emperor, Lu Xing could not possibly handle everything personally.
The [Primordial Species · Death Temple], being the most intelligent among the Four War Temples, was undoubtedly the best choice to beco the commander of the "direct legions." The "Authority of Binding" was also very fitting for this position.
This was also the reason he had not given the Death Temple the sa "elental" authorities as the other three.
As for the other reason...
Na: Primordial Species · Leviathan
Level: 77
Other: Omitted
"Hiss!"
The [Authority of Thunder] was bestowed upon Sheshe.
As the No. 3 in the legion, aside from the "Authority of Thunder," Lu Xing had poured almost all of the shared energy into his body. Sheshe's foundation was, after all, Judgent-class, and the level of Honkai energy he could absorb far exceeded that of the other Honkai Beasts.
However, the problem was the sa.
Precisely because his foundation was only Judgent-class, and Sheshe's birth was too pure, crossing that threshold required more than just Honkai energy. This was despite Sheshe's body having already been transford by Honkai energy—no, by Imaginary Energy—into a dark gold color very similar to Lu Xing's:
He was a giant serpent with nine heads.
Undisguised lightning flashed in his purple, vertical pupils. On the surface of his tightly interlocking scales, obscure purple electrical sparks left behind undecipherable "words."
Although Sheshe looked very satisfied, he was still far from the peak of a Judgent-class Honkai Beast at Lv.80. Don't be fooled by the re three-level difference; the gap in between was not so easily filled. Lu Xing's expectations for Sheshe were not just as a simple fighter; he had to find a way to make him step up.
Of course.
These were all matters to be considered in the future.
As Sheshe's nine large heads stared at each other sowhat comically (from the Emperor's perspective), Cheche, who had accepted the "Authority of the Void," also began his tamorphosis.
