I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

The technicians, seeing that the progress bar had reached 99%, began the countdown.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven..."

"6~~5~~4~~"

A pleasant female voice took over their counting, and when everyone turned around to see who it was, they were all as if they had seen a ghost.

"I really want to count to one, but obviously I can't... Just die."

The entire control room, which was about a hundred square meters in size, was filled with spatial turbulence. People and objects inside were torn to pieces and buried in the boundless void.

Even the screen that had reached 99% completion was permanently turned off.

The two men fighting outside stopped, especially the old man, whose expression changed drastically as he saw the light of the entire city begin to dim.

"what happened?"

The old man had no intention of continuing the fight with Qin Tianhai and wanted to return to the Spire Tower to investigate, but Qin Tianhai held him back tightly, preventing him from retreating.

"Humans... don't get too cocky! This is our home turf!" The old man threw the disc out as if he were in a frenzy.

"Stay with me to the end."

Qin Tianhai responded coldly, his attacks becoming increasingly fierce and domineering, and he engaged in battle with Qin Tianhai.

[Arrived just in time...]

Mu Mu breathed a small sigh of relief. She thought they were going to be late. They were really just a little bit short of succeeding.

Although I don't know what they're tinkering with, judging from their excited expressions, it's clear that it's not a good thing for humanity.

Next, I need to go outside and help Senior Tenkai.

Mu Mu lifted her foot to leave, but stopped halfway, her eyes gradually turning cold, flashing with a chilling light.

Behind her, footsteps were approaching.

There was nothing more to say. The silver light in Mu Mu's eyes deepened to the extreme, like two magical black holes that had transformed into an incomparably deep darkness!

"Come on, let me see what you living fossils are all about!"

"Hehe... I'll make you happy."

With a deafening roar, the top of the spiked tower exploded, and layers of spatial fluctuations covered the sky, creating a death zone!

Chapter Six: Heavenly King Covers the Earth Tiger

This is a sealed room, surrounded by hundreds of tiny, well-equipped pods, each just big enough to fit one person.

And at this moment, Id is busy working here.

"What's going on? What's happening outside?"

The vibrations coming from outside were so strong and persistent that Id couldn't concentrate on his work.

Immediately, a guard came forward to explain the situation: "Qin Tianhai from the Chinese side has entered at some point, and Senior Lan Hai is currently intercepting him outside."

"Qin Tianhai is here?" Ide exclaimed in astonishment. "That shouldn't be... It's too fast. Did they know about our operation all along? Impossible..."

Id frowned, then realized the crux of the problem and flew into a rage: "Are those technicians just sitting around doing nothing? The defense system isn't even activated yet?!"

His anger was not without reason; the defense system was the foundation of their safety. Once activated, a massive shield would envelop the entire city, preventing outsiders from even taking a single step inside.

Moreover, the defense system isn't just about defense; it also includes weapons, security, and other forceful means, making it of paramount importance. If he didn't have more pressing responsibilities, this would have been his responsibility.

"I'll go back and urge them again."

"...Tell them to hurry up, I've already finished part of it here. Let's get that guy Qin Tianhai done first..."

Id suddenly stopped.

He realized that he really couldn't do anything to Qin Tianhai.

Killing Qin Tianhai here would be tantamount to breaking ties with the world's most powerful superpower with supernatural abilities, which is definitely not the outcome he wanted.

"Tsk, of all times, Ina isn't here..."

Ide quickened his pace, and ten seconds later, the two treatment pods in front of him flew off with a "bang," billowing white smoke from inside.

Like a coffin rising from the dead, the white smoke gradually dissipated, and a man and a woman stepped out. The man, in particular, exuded an ancient and powerful aura.

"Your Highness."

Both of them bowed respectfully to Id; the woman was graceful and the man was refined and elegant, each possessing their own unique charm.

"Grand Preceptor, please go outside to assist in the battle. Lan Ya, go and activate your defensive abilities—"

Before Id could finish speaking, another violent shaking occurred, causing Id's expression to change.

The vibration was transmitted from inside the conical tower.

The Grand Preceptor vanished in a flash, disappearing outside. Just a few seconds later, there was another tremendous roar. Fortunately, the building was sturdy enough, otherwise it would have collapsed.

Id grabbed the communicator and hysterically yelled, "What's going on up there?"

"Control room... completely wiped out! Gone!"

Gone!

Id felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer, and countless echoes reverberated in his mind.

But it doesn't matter. He knows that the main control room above is just a decoy. Only a fool would make such an important place so conspicuous, as if he's afraid the enemy won't know that it's his Achilles' heel.

"Who did this? Wasn't Qin Tianhai being held back by Lan Hai?"

"Silver hair, it's Mu Mu! She's here too!"

Ide felt a chill run down his spine, realizing something was wrong. Why was this guy here too?

Her arrival means a whole bunch of people have come, and they're all definitely elites! What the hell is the point of fighting now?!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lan Ya quickly said to Yi De, "Your Highness, let me awaken the clansmen now. You go and activate the defense system. Then they will be like turtles in a jar, at our mercy!"

"Okay, it's up to you now. Be quick!"

Id headed straight for another location, the most important control center of the entire city. He wasn't one of those descendants who had experienced a civilizational break; now, waking up, the glory of Odyssey seemed to echo before his eyes as if it were yesterday.

The defense system is a bunch of useless idiots that will take more than ten minutes to set up, but he can do it in a minute at most. Then, they will have the advantage!

Lan Ya turned around, looked at the hundreds of treatment pods scattered throughout the area, selected those with strong combat capabilities, and began the awakening process.

These are all the most powerful warriors of their Odyssey Empire!

.............

Before Yan Zimo even arrived, a dark, ominous storm cloud had already gathered in the sky, covering more than ten kilometers and adding to the already turbulent Pacific Ocean.

Two translucent, azure wings extended from her back, flowing smoothly like silk in the wind, exuding nobility and elegance.

At the same time, several uniquely shaped flying machines appeared in various corners around the ancient city, and a group of people descended from above.

"It's you who's here! Luther!" the Russian representative, Yevgeny, exclaimed in surprise.

"You came too, didn't you?"

Luther, feeling uncomfortable and seemingly unwilling to say anything more, glanced at the gathering thunderclouds above his head and the commotion coming from the Spire Tower, and said, "Looks like our old friend arrived quickly; the fighting is already so intense."

"Where are the EU members?"

"They're probably still arguing in Congress. We'll ignore them. Anyway, they'll do the least work and we'll get the most benefits."

Luther ignored them and led his troops toward the Spire Tower.

It's common sense that the party with nine levels in a cake gets the bigger share, but this doesn't apply if both sides have nine levels.

Directly dividing the spoils equally is impossible. Trying to win without effort and then reaching out for more benefits will only result in being eliminated by the alliance. Therefore, in the end, the spoils will be distributed based on each person's contribution.

He was actually hoping those EU people wouldn't come. With so many Tier 9 beings gathered here, it was more than enough. There was no need for another dispensable force to share the pie.

Yevgeny shook his head helplessly, but not wanting to lose out in the distribution of benefits, he followed after them.

The moment their troops entered, the air suddenly went "buzz," and the people from Russia, the United States, and China all stopped in their tracks.

After that "buzzing" sound, they felt that everything had changed.

Yan Ziming was the one who felt it the most. She had just realized that her connection with the thundercloud in the sky had been severed for a moment!

Fortunately, she returned to normal in the next instant, and it did not have any real impact on her.

"Could it be..."

Yan Ziming summoned a massive bolt of lightning from the sky, connecting the two sides of the ocean. It was about ten meters thick, and the blinding flash of lightning illuminated the entire sea area.

If it were to strike the ground, it would create a deathly silence for a thousand meters, but it stopped in mid-air.

It was as if they had touched an invisible but tangible wall. Such a powerful lightning strike was completely blocked. The lightning bolt stood in the air for several seconds before finally exploding with a bang!

After the explosion, the residual current traveled along a semi-circular trajectory to the sea surface, and its enormous energy created splashes tens of meters high.

"As expected, we're trapped."

Yan Ziming said in a low voice, and Li Hao, who had just caught up with her, suddenly changed color: "You mean they want to devour us all?!"

He clearly remembered the semi-circular trajectory of the current he had just witnessed; it was a protective shield, a bowl-shaped shield, that completely covered them inside!

Those inside couldn't get out, and those outside couldn't get in; they were completely isolated and helpless!
