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

So here she is.

With the overwhelming power of being the only one of its kind throughout the ages, it unleashed a lightning strike, shattering the protective shield that had plagued human nations for so long. Its power was terrifying.

All he did was work for one person.

"Mo'er..."

She murmured the name that had entered her life and even her heart, her eyes resolute.

The time spent with her during this period was genuine; Liu Mengxian was no longer just a passerby, but truly experienced this time with her.

Yan Ziming is the only person Liu Mengxian wants to protect no matter what; she absolutely cannot be harmed!

The surrounding lightning elements were amplified by Liu Mengxian, forming large streams of condensed electric current that pierced through the air. Accompanied by brilliant sparks, they splashed wildly in the air, then wrapped around her fair wrist, forming a long sword. The sharp sword intent almost cleaved the heavens and the earth in two.

During this time, Liu Mengxian murmured to herself, "So many people have died, you must take responsibility... If you can handle it, then I will leave it alone."

The lightning sword was raised above their heads, and in an instant, all the dark clouds flowed into the sword. The sky cleared up in a flash, and the sun shone on the earth again, but the people of Odyssey could not feel any warmth.

For no particular reason, it was the desolate atmosphere brought by that long sword that made them see no way forward and no hope.

This is Liu Mengxian's most powerful attack. When she was chasing the Mirage Dragon, it almost perished from this attack once!

The sword blade slashed downwards vertically.

This is how later generations described it.

This is the ultimate blade that severs the past from the future.

The thunder and fire seemed to tear the sky apart, peering up at the heavens and down into the depths of hell. The intensely red light divided the world into two distinct realms, making it feel as if time itself was flowing at different speeds.

"Stop them!!!"

As Codd stared at the rapidly rising limits on the instrument, his eyes filled with madness, and he roared hysterically.

boom--

Finally, the protective shield that countless people had placed their hopes on cracked...

"attack--!"

The human alliance, which had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately set out, with all kinds of ships and aircraft taking off to begin the landing operation.

Its sheer scale is extremely rare even in today's apocalyptic world, as it gathers almost a quarter of the elite forces of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, enough to wipe out any corner of the world.

“It’s over…it’s all over…” Cod collapsed to the ground, his body ice-cold.

Given what they have done during this period, the human side will show absolutely no mercy and will not stop until they are completely wiped out!

This is a catastrophe that will wipe out the entire clan!

Lan Hai's eyes glazed over, and he let out a long, dazed sigh, a sigh that poured out countless emotions. From the day he was born, he had been like a ground mouse until now, a hundred years had passed, and he had endured countless years. In the end, would he still have to vanish with the wind?

Their most powerful means have been breached, and nothing can provide them with protection anymore. Their path forward is blocked, and unless someone comes forward to continue their legacy, their demise is inevitable.

In a secluded corner, where no one knew him, Id finally finished his work and roared, "It's not over yet! Get up!"

As his voice faded, the ground in the center of the city suddenly opened up to both sides, revealing a gap several kilometers long, from which a dark figure slowly rose.

This is a teardrop-shaped warship, a full two thousand meters long, which looks like a small city.

Yet this enormous, heavy object defied the laws of physics, hurtling towards the heavens and into the universe at an unparalleled speed!

Chapter Twenty-Two: Unexpected Developments

The moment the dazzling sword light completely shattered the protective shield, everyone was incredibly excited, and Yan Ziming even excitedly swung his fist.

"See? I told you Xian'er could do it!"

No one understands Liu Mengxian better than her. If she says she can do it, then the other person definitely can!

Ye Qianxue relaxed her hand, a weight lifted from her heart: "Then can our operation be declared over?"

"Yes, the next step is to uproot these ground rats completely."

Yan Ziming nodded, a cruel look appearing in his eyes.

Id, oh Id... You've lost this duel. Since you've long since faded with time, let bygones be bygones! Stop causing trouble for the world!

Yan Ziming was planning in his mind to hold a grand celebration party to celebrate this success when he got back. Of course, Liu Mengxian, as the biggest contributor, would definitely be present.

Unlike Yan Ziming's excitement, the others were shocked and unwilling. Murong Haiyi and the others, who had just escaped death, felt complex and indescribable emotions.

It's really laughable, really. So many of them risked their lives to achieve this, and Liu Mengxian accomplished it in no time. It's truly dramatic...

Liu Mengxian embodied the word 'powerful' to the fullest extent, demonstrating that her individual strength surpassed the combined efforts of two civilizations.

"The outcome is decided; you're finished."

Qin Tianhai spoke calmly to the Great Sage and the others, but this so-called "calmness" was mixed with a smugness that anyone could hear.

If there weren't other people present, his eyes would probably be crinkling into fox eyes as he burst into laughter.

They would never say something as stupid as "surrender quickly." This battle was a life-or-death struggle between two civilizations from the very beginning. It was a fight to the death, with no chance of survival. The idea that surrendering would result in leniency was simply not an option from the start.

Are there prisoners? Kill them all, leaving no future trouble. All their property shall belong to the victors.

As the four most threatening individuals, not to mention Lan Hai, the other three each possess the strength of the Void Realm. If they were to escape, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council would have to live in constant fear from now on.

So everyone else can run, but none of them can!

"Aren't you all celebrating too soon?" the Imperial Advisor sneered.

He didn't seem to be bluffing, but genuinely confident, and continued, "Ah...you did a fantastic job, I really mean it, this is my honest opinion, even if that monster hadn't come, you would have basically won."

Mu Mu frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"

Aside from a certain...? a certain...? a certain person, no one knew the key factor that would determine the outcome of this battle—"The Other Sea" had already missed its chance with Odyssey, so the five ninth-tier beings were somewhat confused by the Grand Preceptor's words.

Actually, what he said is easy to understand.

With the underground energy storage facility and "The Other Sea" gone, even if Liu Mengxian hadn't come to break through their protective shield, Odyssey had still lost, and lost miserably.

"What a pity... The glory of the Odyssey Empire has fallen into the hands of our generation! We... failed to continue the empire's glory... Just being able to maintain the present is already the limit."

[Odyssey?]

Mu Mu and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Could this be the name of the prehistoric civilization?

"Enough of their nonsense, let's get started!"

Luther frowned, a sense of foreboding creeping over him. He struck first, and a towering phantom behind him extended its palm, striking down with a clapping motion.

With a shift of their gaze, their figures appeared a hundred meters away, and the giant phantom's hand swept across, accompanied by the sound of rising and falling tides, but it only destroyed a few phantoms that had no physical form.

"We may die here today, but the flame of Odyssey will surely continue!"

With a loud shout from the Grand Preceptor, the four of them shot straight into the sky, their bodies ignited with golden flames and radiating an incomparably captivating aura, like four shooting stars leaving behind a dazzling trail.

Clearly, they were now fighting desperately. Like the mutated species' last stand, they were extremely dangerous at this moment, and a moment's carelessness could drag them down with you to your death.

However, upon seeing where they had gone, the five people who were about to give chase immediately stopped, their eyes filled with disbelief.

"What's going on? Are they looking to die?!"

Li Hao's eyes widened in shock. The place the Great Sage and the others had gone to was actually where Liu Mengxian was!

Even if you're looking to die, you can't play like this!

To put it bluntly, if they stayed here, they could at least fight to the death one or two of our five people, and if they were lucky, they might even be able to take three of them with them.

But if we go to Liu Mengxian's place, wouldn't that be giving it away for free?

However, this is also good. Qin Tianhai and his men are happy to have some peace and quiet. If the other side wants to die, let them do it. This way, they can avoid the risk of losing personnel in battle.

Not to mention them, everyone else was also incredibly surprised when they saw those four "shooting stars." Yan Ziming, in particular, couldn't understand what those people from Odyssey were trying to do.

Even just escaping offers a glimmer of hope, so why attempt something as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot?

The aura emanating from those four people is indeed terrifying, but compared to her fairy, the difference is like heaven and earth.

Are they buying time?

A strange thought arose in Yan Ziming's mind. Apart from this, she really couldn't understand what else would make them do something that was no different from sending them to their deaths.

But why are they trying to buy time, and why are they targeting Liu Mengxian?

The subsequent events provided a good answer to her question.

With a tremor, the ground beneath her feet, in the city's central area, suddenly opened up in a square tube that stretched for thousands of meters in length and width, revealing the enormous object it carried.

"not good!"

Yan Ziming immediately activated her elemental transformation, the Spear of Victory materialized in her hand, and she launched an attack with all her might!

However, her efforts were in vain. The spear of victory struck it like a long stick sinking into water, without even a ripple. It only stirred up a light ripple that spread a hundred meters away before disappearing without a trace.

This strangely shaped spaceship even has a protective shield.

A thick purple ray tore through the clouds in the distant sky, disintegrating everything in its path as it struck, radiating an aura many times stronger than Yan Zimo's Spear of Victory, before landing on the spaceship.

This time it had some effect. The ripples from the protective shield spread throughout the entire ship, trembling like a bubble, as if it could be popped with just a gentle touch.

But they had no chance to continue their attack. The spaceship was already in position, tip pointing upwards, tearing through the air at a speed that defied the laws of physics, soaring straight into the sky. In an instant, it broke through more than fifty times the speed of sound. Even if Yan Ziming started using Lightning Pursuit now, it would be too late.

Looking back, they found that the four members of Odyssey had launched a fierce attack on Liu Mengxian, all to buy time for the spaceship, to risk their lives to give it time to ascend into space.
