Chapter 6120 The Purple Sun
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Isobel Kotin had broken through.That was obvious to everyone that looked at the purple sun that had just exploded onto the scene!
The state of Isobel's burnt and ruined body was extremely concerning, but it was evident that she was still alive by the mere fact that her willpower and resonance strength completely exploded past their old limits!
"Careful!" Joshua hastily shouted as the explosion of flames forced him to wake up from his depressed mood.
The expert pilot who failed to break through clearly sensed the threat posed by those purple flames. Joshua would never allow his Everchanger to get into contact with the King Killer Flames back when Isobel was still an expert pilot.
He would be crazy to allow the purple sun which blazed with far more power than ever before to come close to his Everchanger!
Venerable Dise managed to react to this acute crisis as well. Her intuition already warned her about the imminent threat. Instinct took over as she quickly jerked her First Sword away from the purple sun before it could engulf her damaged machine!
As Dise and Joshua managed to move their expert mechs to a safer distance, they both utilized the sensor systems of their machines to observe the purple sun.
The two paid particularly close attention to the resonance meters.
The numbers were rising by the second.
"74 laveres… 83 laveres… 95 laveres… 101 laveres… it's holding… but also wobbling!"
The two expert pilots already suspected the truth, but the resonance meter readings confirmed the truth.
Venerable Isobel Kotin was no more.
Saint Isobel Kotin was born on this day.
Though the resonance meters measured unusually unstable activity that hinted that the state of the newly ascended ace pilot was anything but stable, her power was undeniable!
Scorching heat and flames erupted from the Promethea in such an outrageously strong fashion that no one was able to observe the expert mech anymore!
The machine had become entirely obscured by the huge purple conflagration that surrounded the machine in a perfect sphere centered around the cockpit!
The two high-tier expert pilots had never witnessed a breakthrough as dramatic as the spectacle unfolding before their eyes!
Was the Promethea even safe? She had to be, or else the flames wouldn't be able to sustain themselves.
The outburst of forced resonance did far more than surround the Promethea with a much more lethal version of the King Killer Flames.
The newly emerged Saint also radiated her altered willpower and new conviction from her machine!
Joshua winced as he suffered a small backlash when he attempted to verify Isobel's current state.
"Has Isobel lost control over her own flames?!"
"I think… those flames have become an inherent part of her Saint Kingdom."
The energies released by the Saint Kingdom were gigantic and completely surpassed the old limits of the Promethea.
All of this was due to the explosion of repressed energies from Saint Isobel, which appeared to be much greater in quantity than was typical of a pilot with relatively little accumulation.
Isobel truly needed to vent the energies that she had been repressing throughout her entire career as an expert pilot!
Her breakthrough tasted much sweeter to her than usual for this reason!
As the purple sun started to stabilize, the strengthened will that had broken through the previous limit was not content with hovering in the air.
Isobel's flames existed to burn her enemies!
The driving reason why Isobel wanted to break through even if it came at the cost of her own body was to gain the strength to burn more powerful enemies.
It just so happened that the Emperor Tree was still within proximity!
"She's moving!" Joshua called!
The flaming purple sun slowly descended down to the surface.
The descent started off slow, but gradually picked up speed as if Saint Isobel was just rediscovering how to control her expert mech.
The First Sword and the Everchanger reluctantly followed even though they were hardly in the best fighting condition.
The two expert mechs maintained a respectable distance from the Promethea. Neither Dise nor Joshua looked forward to getting accidentally splashed by the much more threatening flames of their fellow Larkinson pilot.
As the purple sun lost altitude at more rapid speeds, it eventually came into contact with the top of the Solus Gas curtain that had engulfed the entire area surrounding the Emperor Tree.
A major gas deposit and vent was situated near the Emperor Tree, which meant that the concentration of Solus Gas rapidly rose as the purple sun approached the surface.
However, as soon as the gas particles came into contact with the globe of flames, the extraordinary gas which possessed a surprising variety of reality-defying effects burned up without an suspension.
So long as the purple sun burned hot and bright, there was no way that a mere gas could get past the cleansing flames and interfere with the Promethea's functions.
The power of an ace pilot was transcendent and far surpassed most native phenomena on this untamed planet!
The only question was whether the Promethea's temporarily elevated state was enough to give her a chance to gain the upper hand against the previously unassailable Emperor Tree.
The calamity plant clearly sensed and recognized the threat posed by the approaching purple sun.
The myriad of seed cannons spread across the Emperor Tree's enormous trunk all aimed their barrels upwards and opened fire at the descending purple blaze.
Hundreds of heavy seeds flung at velocities so high that could severely deplete the resonance shields of any expert mech simply flamed out as soon as they came into contact with the edge of the purple sun.
By the time the heavy seeds made it halfway to the Promethea hidden in the center, the wooden growths already got burnt up to the point where only ashes fell from the enormous purple fireball.
The Emperor Tree did not give up and continued to urge its seed cannons to pressure the Promethea, perhaps believing that making the purple sun work harder would cause it to deplete faster!
To be honest, the calamity plant was right, but was it truly possible for Saint Isobel to quickly run out of steam just because a lot of seeds attempted to pass through the purple sun?
The intelligent alien tree was too naive!
The Emperor Tree did not leave it at that. It began to employ more solutions. Sensing that the purple sun was much harder to deal with than the Promethea's previous attacks, the powerful tree preemptively began to release huge amounts of tree sap from various cavities in the trunk and branches.
The sap began to cover the huge exterior of the Emperor Tree like a protective coating!
This not only made the exposed portions of the tree a lot more fire-resistant, but also enabled it to channel greater amounts of wood energy from the environment.
Even the three ebony mechs made a reappearance!
The three wooden constructs made from the core of the Emperor Tree had already returned to their peak conditions long ago. Each of them received fresh coatings of tree sap which hardened into a semiflexible layer of protective jelly that should be able to slow down the spread of flames.
Each of the alien-produced constructs maintained their distance and fired with their ranged weapons whenever possible.

Even so, the three ebony mechs appeared very reluctant to approach the purple sun.
Each of the alien-produced constructs maintained their distance and fired with their ranged weapons whenever possible.
Unlike the regular projectiles launched by the fairly ordinary heavy seed cannons, the ebony seeds fired by the ranged armaments of the Ebony Everchanger and the Ebony Zeal were much tougher and more resistant to the supercharged purple flames!
The ebony seeds managed to resist the flames long enough to enter the purple sun while still looking reasonably intact.
Unfortunately for the Emperor Tree, it lost track of the ebony seeds before they hit their intended targets!
Ebony seed after ebony seed entered the purple sun at a fast pace. The Ebony Zeal especially worked hard to strike at the mech that must be hiding in the center. There was no way the expert mech could withstand so many ebony seed hits in a short amount of time.
This time appeared to be different!
Though the ebony seeds did not make themselves seen or heard again, the continued existence of the purple sun indicated that the projectiles were not achieving their desired effect.
The purple sun continued to descend from above as if a star was truly falling onto a planet that was not ready to embrace such magnificence.
If the Emperor Tree had legs, it would have attempted to run a long time ago! There was no way the calamity plant could remain comfortable when it was coming into increasing proximity to a wellspring of power that defied everything it had witnessed or experienced in the past!
The purple sun finally slowed down from the moment it touched the tip of the Emperor Tree.
Everyone who was able to observe the unfolding breakthrough event waited in suspense.
"Yaaaa!"
A much larger and more powerful version of Kiroshi appeared on the edge of the purple sun and seemed to increase the surrounding heat and temperature even further!
Finally, the heat proved too much for the main trunk. Its tip actually started to dry out before catching fire!
The flames looked relatively modest at first, but they slowly started to escalate through the joint efforts of the purple sun and Isobel's promoted companion spirit.
The purple sun resumed its descent, though at a place that was slow enough for it to light the enormous trunk of fire!
The circumference of the Emperor Tree was already large at the top, but became increasingly more exaggerated closer to the surface.
Nonetheless, the Promethea's Saint Kingdom proved large enough to engulf the entire trunk in purple flames!
The Emperor Tree swayed in its place as more and more of its trunk started to burn and transform into ash.
A huge amount of tree sap and wood erupted from the upper reaches of the calamity plant. The alien tree truly felt in peril, and did not hold back in channeling its abundant resources.
However, the massive influx of power did not hinder the efforts of the purple sun.
Instead, the enormous infusion of wood energy actually started to feed the King Killer Flames and make them stronger!
"The purple sun is becoming brighter!"
More heat and power radiated from the purple sun as it seemed to absorb a huge amount of wood energy!
Unlike in the past, Saint Isobel had become strong enough to devour the Emperor Tree's wood energy with her extraordinary flames!
"Yaaaa! Yaaaa!"
Kiroshi especially liked to light wood energy on fire. Now that the Promethea had temporarily closed the gap with the Emperor Tree by leveraging the power of forced resonance, there was no way for all of that wood energy to resist the onset of getting burned!
More and more wood energy continued to channel to the upper half of the Emperor Tree, but all it did was to invigorate the purple sun even further, allowing it to devour the trunk it came into contact with to burn even faster and more efficiently than before!
The purple sun picked up speed, and there was nothing the Emperor Tree could do to stop its proud but stationary trunk from getting consumed by the King Killer Flames.
The ebony mechs couldn't take it anymore. The Ebony Zeal continued to bombard the Promethea from a distance while the Ebony First Sword and the Ebony Everchanger both attempted to cut off the heart of the purple sun!
Clang!
While the Ebony First Sword was able to approach the purple sun without interruption, the authentic First Sword intercepted the Ebony Everchanger from the front!
"We can't do much, but we can still help you out, Isobel!"
The original Everchanger swooped in from behind, forcing the wooden imitation to pull back and hastily block the slash from the Heartsword.
"Go forth and burn, Isobel, but keep this one for us. The clan still wants us to retrieve one of these ebony mechs intact!"
