From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

"Leaving aside how to acquire strategic-level antimatter missiles, even if we obtain a sufficient number of antimatter missiles, it would not be enough to pose a threat to the Winged Demon God."

Xavier's matrix skipped over the previous question and raised a new one.

In his calculations, even if he obtained a strategic-grade antimatter bomb, it would at most only injure the Winged Demon God Salion, and would not pose a fatal threat.

As long as Salion is willing to bear this harm, his arrival will still pose a threat of annihilation to the Siren race.

Moreover, it's not just the siren race.

The Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom is also located in the Dragon's Rest world. If Salion were to descend upon it, wiping out the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom would be as easy as snapping his fingers.

Therefore, this crisis concerns the fate of both races.

The pressure on the Soreville Copper Furnace was no less than that on Sona.

He pressed on, "Isn't there any other way? I'll do anything to stop Salion."

The Dark Iron Dwarves have just begun to show signs of resurgence, and have even forged demigod weapons, recreating the glory of the era of Emperor Sorendal.

If he were to be killed at this crucial moment, Soreville Copperfurnace would die with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Tyrese, who had remained silent, pondered for a moment, then looked at Queen Oriana and said, "Your Highness, perhaps if someone can wear your father's crown, the situation can be turned around."

Queen Aureanna frowned in thought, then shook her head and said, "I'm not absolutely certain, but we can give it a try."

Seeing everyone's confusion, Tyrese explained, "Tarnas is Orianna's father and the previous king of the elves. Legend has it that he once successfully killed a god and possessed the power to fight against the true god."

Sona and Soreville Bronzeforge both showed hopeful expressions. Faced with the threat of annihilation, they had to seize any glimmer of hope.

Sona clenched her fist and said, "I can also obtain the blessing of the sea god and use a portion of the sea god's divine power. If we join forces, there may still be hope."

Xavier Matrix cautioned, "There are only four days left. If you decide to do this, you need to prepare immediately. Whether it's getting the antimatter bomb or the Elf Crown, it will take time."

"Alright, let's give it a try. Orianna and I will go retrieve the antimatter bomb and the Elf Crown. The remaining four days are up to you."

Lu Heng looked at the eye of the storm in the sky, where winged demons continued to emerge.

The Winged Demons pose little threat to the Siren Clan.

Because the Winged Demons excel in aerial combat, once they enter the water, they become easy prey for the Siren Clan.

However, the Dark Iron Dwarf Kingdom was helpless.

They will continue to be attacked by the Winged Demon army.

Xavier Matrix added, "I deployed the Stardust Iron Curtain air defense system at Lava Crown, and it should hold for four days without any problems."

“Alright, let’s set off now.” Lu Heng said, looking at Queen Oriana and asking for her opinion with his eyes.

Queen Aureanna did not speak, but took a step forward and stood next to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng opened the stargate and teleported to the Sykes world.

……

Half a day later.

Inside the Nebula Military Building on Sykes World Capital Star.

Lu Heng and Oriana sat in the Sykes military's conference room, smiling as they looked at the three Sykes men across the conference table.

These three Sykes are bionic in appearance, not mechanical.

After the Sykes civilization went through the mechanical revolution and the Renaissance, the upper nobility began to favor retro biomimetic appearances, even their skin had temperature.

In the present-day Sykes civilization, the more an organism resembles in appearance, the higher its status.

Clearly, the three Sykes men in the conference room are not ordinary people.

Xavier Matrix's holographic image appeared, looking at one of the Sykes' high-ranking officers, and reminded him: "Commander Stuart, I have two things to tell you first."

"First, do not attempt any radical military action. The two sword-wielders of the civilizations before you are both demigods."

"If they wanted to, destroying the capital planet wouldn't take much effort."

"Secondly, I don't need to introduce the identities of these two. They are the Elf Queen and the strongest human. The three commanders should have already checked their information."

"Third, their visit this time was not malicious; they just wanted to obtain weapons support from the Sykes military."

"You should know my habits. I will definitely get what I want. The only difference is the method I use."

Stewart used a simulated voice to express his anger, saying, "Your current behavior is not friendly."

The situation was pretty much as he described.

When Lu Heng and Aureanna appeared, following Xavier Matrix's instructions, they restricted the freedom of the three opponents.

Xavier Matrix knew one thing very well: the anger Stewart was expressing was simulated, so he didn't care whether Stewart was actually angry or not.

“Commander Stewart, what you should be asking now is what kind of help our allies need.”

Before the other party could ask, Lu Heng said directly, "Let me be frank. We need strategic-grade antimatter bombs, the more the better. You don't have to give them to me, but I will definitely take them."

Stewart continued to feign anger: "You're robbing me."

Lu Heng considered for a moment and said, "Robbery is indeed not a friendly act, so I have another solution to offer."

“You provide antimatter bombs, and on behalf of the Swordholders, I promise that if the Sykes civilization ever faces a crisis, the Swordholders will lend a helping hand.”

Stuart did not agree immediately.

Xavier Matrix added, "Oh, I forgot to mention something. Your information network is a bit limited, and you probably don't yet understand the strength of the Swordholder Alliance."

"I have some information here about the destruction of the Shadow Demon world. Take a look and then consider this issue."

The destruction of the Shadow Demon world was no secret to the Sykes civilization.

The Sykes civilization could learn about the destruction of the Shadow Demon world through many channels, but they could not obtain complete information about the events.

Because in the Sykes civilization, only Xavier Matrix witnessed this event.

Xavier Matrix was wanted by the Sykes military, so he did not hand over this information to them.

Therefore, Psykers commanders, including Stuart, only knew that the Shadow Demon world had been destroyed, but not the specific details.

The three Sykes commanders read the data at a speed measured in milliseconds, finishing it almost the instant they received the Xavier Matrix's transmitted data.

After analyzing and calculating, Stewart consulted with the other two commanders and gave a very straightforward answer:
"We agree to the Swordholders' request to provide three strategic-grade antimatter missiles..."

Xavier Matrix interrupted him directly, correcting him: "It's five."

Steward consulted with the other two commanders again and quickly reached a consensus: "Okay, we agree to provide five strategic antimatter missiles in exchange for the Swordholder Alliance's commitment to assist in the war."

Upon hearing this reply, a smile appeared on Lu Heng's face.

The matter was resolved smoothly.

They originally intended to steal it, but they achieved their goal through negotiation. Being able to obtain the antimatter bomb through negotiation at least makes things appear much more amicable on the surface.

Just as Lu Heng was preparing to finalize the deal.

Xavier Matrix suddenly added another condition: "There's one more condition: the Sykes military needs to lift the warrant for my arrest."

Stuart immediately objected: "That's impossible. You've committed several serious crimes against civilization."

Xavier Matrix's attitude was very firm: "This is a necessary condition. The warrant must be lifted before this cooperation can be completed. Otherwise, we will carry out the robbery plan."

Steward feigned anger: "Even if you're released from the warrant, you can still continue to break the rules. Civilization cannot allow you to do whatever you want."

Xavier Matrix added, "The detailed plan can be finalized: starting from this moment, all past violations of the regulations are pardoned. From this moment on, any further violations will be dealt with according to the regulations. This is the final condition; there is no room for negotiation."

Lu Heng didn't expect Xavier Matrix to take the opportunity to solve his own problems, but he didn't stop him and watched him negotiate with a smile.

In fact, the Sykes military is now helpless against Xavier Matrix; the wanted poster has been around for decades and is practically useless.

After calculating, Stewart agreed to the plan: "The plan is approved. The arrest warrant is hereby revoked."

……

Negotiations completed.

Lu Heng obtained five strategic-level antimatter bombs from the Sykes civilization.

The next step is to teleport to the Elf World to retrieve the Elf Crown.

Upon returning to Quel'dorei, Queen Alleanna first went back to Klos City to meet with Therien and the high-ranking members of the Arcane Council, handling several important matters, before setting off for Mount Three Commanders.

On Mount Three Commanders, there is a Temple of Tarnas, which houses the armor and weapons used by the Elf King Tarnas.

After death, elves choose to return to nature. The items stored in the Temple of Tarnas are mainly for posterity to remember them.

Queen Orianna opened the doors of the Temple of Tarnas, stepped inside, and gazed at the items her father had once used, lost in deep memories.

The temple houses arcane codes, armor, weapons, and a statue of the Elf King riding a unicorn, raising his holy sword high.

“My father was once the greatest king of the elves…” Oriana spoke slowly, as if confiding in Lu Heng, or as if murmuring to herself.

"He spent most of his life fighting against the abyss, and in the final moments of his glorious life, he only had time to appoint three teachers for me before sacrificing his life for the kingdom..."

"The fate of the Elven race gradually declined after my father's passing. I originally thought that the Elven race had no future, because there would never be a king more outstanding than my father in this world."

“I remain loyal to the kingdom not because I am confident that I can restore it, but because of my father’s dying wish. He wanted me to protect the kingdom… to protect the kingdom for him…”

Lu Heng stood behind her, listening quietly, and finally understood the heavy burden she carried.

In the previous life, the Elven race would have been completely destroyed in the crisis of the Skeleton Lord, with only a small number of elves retreating to the Lake of the Moon to eke out a living.

As she said, she had no confidence in reviving the Elven race.

This life took a turn for the better; Lu Heng's appearance changed the fate of the elves.

However, no one knows how things will develop in the future.

Orianna turned around, clenched her fist, and said, "I don't know when it started, but I saw hope in you. You are different from others, like the only bright light in the endless darkness of the abyss."

"I've only ever seen this kind of light in my father. When that light faded, the Elf Kingdom lost all hope..."

Only now did Lu Heng realize why the Elf Queen treated him differently.

If it were anyone else, they would certainly have had many things they couldn't convince the Elf Queen about when they came into contact with the Elf race.

Perhaps it was that single glimmer of light she saw in the endless darkness of the abyss that led her to make a different choice.

Aureanna snapped out of her reverie, a warm smile spreading across her face, and said, "I'm willing to believe in you, just as I believe in my father. If there's anyone in this world who can defeat the abyss, I believe it's only you."

Lu Heng remained silent, turning to look at the statue of the Elf King Tarnas, expressing deep respect and remembrance.

Aureanna beckoned and said, "Let's keep going. Father's crown is kept in the deepest part of the temple."

She continued walking in, through a corridor, until she reached the throne.

On the north side of the temple, there was a throne of the Elf King.

On the table next to the throne, there is also a crown.

It's not what I expected.

This crown has neither holy radiance nor majestic gemstones; it is a jet-black iron crown, filled with an aura of killing intent.

Aureanna walked to the crown and said, "This is my father's crown. When I succeeded to the throne, I didn't receive the crown's approval. I wonder if I can now..."

She held the iron crown in both hands and slowly raised it above her head.

The crown floated up, and Tarnas's phantom appeared above it, slowly speaking: "My daughter, your talent lies in arcane magic, not in iron hooves."

Orianna looked up at her father's illusory figure and said, "Father, we need the power of the crown. We are about to face a crisis from a demon god, and we need your power."

Tarnas's phantom looked at Lu Heng and said slowly, "Perhaps the knight you brought can bear this power."

Aureanna's expression froze.

She never imagined that this crown would be worn on someone else's head, not even an elf.

However, this was her father's wish.

Moreover, she saw the same light in Lu Heng as she did in her father.

Without much hesitation, she held the iron crown in both hands, walked up to Lu Heng, and sighed, "Perhaps this is the guidance of fate."

She didn't bring Lu Heng along to retrieve the crown on purpose. The reason they came together was because only Lu Heng had the ability to freely travel between different worlds.

Unexpectedly, her father ultimately chose Lu Heng.

Aureanna held the iron crown in both hands and gently placed it on Lu Heng's head.

The moment Lu Heng touched the crown, he felt a powerful force surge into his body—the power of the Godslayer.

At this moment, Lu Heng also saw the properties of this iron crown.
