A space-time spear

Elsewhere, the energy cannons from the warships had ceased firing. Their task was complete—shattering the giant dragonfly's domain that had previously absorbed all incoming attacks. Now, with that obstacle gone, the primary target had changed. 

Lein observed the transformation of the colossal creature. If before the black dragonfly resembled an armored insect, it now looked even more terrifying. Its body was drenched in thick black sludge, additional limbs extending from its sides, each moving with a will of their own. Its face now bore four eyes, glowing menacingly with a violet hue. 

From those eyes, four beams of black energy suddenly erupted, shooting forward like spears of death. Lein could feel the immense pressure radiating from them—not just ordinary energy, but a force capable of eroding souls. 

"Dodge! Don't get hit! That can destroy your soul!" Veyron shouted in warning.
