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

Xiao Ze, looking utterly aggrieved, transformed into the form of a Qilin, only much smaller, resembling an ordinary foal, yet appearing far taller and more imposing. Yan Ziming sat atop it, lightning arcs enveloping its form, revealing only a blurry outline, mysterious and unfathomable...

"Oh right, we also need to build up some momentum for us."

Suddenly, Yan Ziming seemed to remember something. He put two fingers together and flicked them at the tyrant's neck. The arc of light formed by the radiant mortal world immediately shot out, cutting through the layers of space and brutally beheading the tyrant.

Glug glug...

The giant's head rolled down, its massive weight causing the ground to sink slightly and kicking up dust.

Seemingly feeling that the presentation was still somewhat lacking, Yan Ziming had another idea.

He then unleashed two more arcs of light, disarming the Reaper's two bone blades. From two different directions, he pierced the Tyrant's head, which then rolled a few times on the ground, becoming stained with Kunwu's remaining blood and flesh, making it far more horrifying.

Some may find this approach cruel and an insult to powerful entities.

However, the battle between humans and mutated species has not been about cruelty or lack thereof; many more human soldiers have been eaten by mutated species!

As Yan Ziming had the Qilin carry the 'rugby ball', he couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, how many times have I killed these tyrants? I really do have a connection with them!"

It seems that ever since the Battle of Yongjing, I have been inextricably linked with the tyrannical race.

That time, it was a true life-or-death battle after she advanced to the seventh rank, which bathed her in the blood of the giant race, and from then on, she was unstoppable.

In the years that followed, tyrants appeared many times on his journey, and he killed them many times, nearly ten times.

Today's tyrant is the highest level that Yan Zimo has ever killed. It is just one step away from entering the ranks of the Sequence level and becoming as famous as that Giant King.

However, Yan Ziming was very clear that her goal was not this, and that it was far too early to end things.

The feud with the giants will only come to a complete end when she personally beheads the tyrant.

This is a promise I made to myself.

It was also her personal declaration of war against the tyrant at that time.

"Africa...is that where the tyrant is? I'll go there sooner or later..."

Yan Ziming murmured to himself, his gaze sharp as lightning, traversing thousands of miles to look towards Africa.

His eyes were filled with nothing but the desire to conquer.

Xiao Ze remained silent, and just as he was about to leave, Yan Zimo suddenly said to Si Mo, "Ah, Si Mo, you should go back first."

"That was the plan all along. Don't expect to get anything from me for the next while."

Si Mo rubbed her hands together in disgust. She had been thoroughly used by Yan Zi Mo these past two days and was quite tired.

"Haha, he says one thing but does another~"

"Get out of here!"

Enraged, Si Mo kicked her. Yan Zi Mo immediately ran away with the Qilin, carrying away the thunder and dark clouds in the sky. The giant head, which looked to weigh a hundred tons, was dragged by the Qilin, which was only two people tall, and they left each other in the dust.

Yan Ziming was very happy.

It's been ten years.

When did it start...? Whenever something big happens, I'm just a 'small character' who can only work hard in a corner, or get involved indirectly. I'm not qualified to participate in the really big things directly.

This was true during the final battle against Death in the Yongjing Campaign, it was true when deciding the distribution of the sea serpent corpses on the deserted island, it was true when besieging the Mirage Dragon in the Civilization Cup, and it was true again during the bloody battle in Crescent City...

She only made a small splash when the human alliance was fighting the Watchers to the death, and her uncle was sacrificed when she broke through to the ninth rank.

A full ten years!

How many decades does one have in a lifetime? Yan Ziming is only in his early twenties this year, and he has devoted half his life to military service, pouring all his youth into it.

Today is the first time she has formally stepped onto this stage, a stage only the strong are qualified to participate in.

It was only yesterday, and only one day later, that she truly established her own prestige in the hearts of all the ninth-level individuals, including the very top few.

In the future, she will have more and more opportunities to participate in such stages, and she will be involved in every detail that moves the world.

In high spirits, Yan Ziming, without slowing down, said, "Xiao Ze, sing a song!"

"will not."

“Then I’ll teach you, sing along with me… cough cough!” Yan Zimo cleared his throat, but for a moment he didn’t know what to sing, so he just sang: “The great river flows eastward, the stars in the sky point to the Big Dipper~~ Come on, sing along.”

"A little bit~"

"What are you 'lü' for? You're trying to imitate people's 'lülü' with that kind of look, it's disgusting! Hurry up and sing!"

"We're almost there."

Qilin said dejectedly, if it weren't for the sake of her master's reputation, she would have even wanted to throw the person riding her off.

That damn owner actually called her disgusting!

Upon hearing this, Yan Ziming ceased pressuring Xiao Ze. A fierce aura emanated from the spear in his hand, and he lightly tapped its scarred surface with his fingertips, producing a melodious metallic clang that conveyed a clear intention—

It wants to drink blood!

"Xiao Ze, let's get ready to go."

"Hmm..." The Qilin stopped for a moment, and then multicolored light surged in front of it, revealing the figure of Ozawa transformed into a girl.

"???"

Yan Ziming looked at her with a puzzled expression. Xiao Ze made a face at her, then stuck out her cute little tongue, "Hehehe~".

Then she turned away haughtily and stood still, her slightly twitching head seeming to say:

"Come on, tell me I'm cute! Hurry up and tell me, or I'll kill you!"

Yan Ziming almost laughed, knowing that she was bothered by his earlier comment about her being disgusting, but he was also genuinely charmed by her, so he said:

"Mmm, kawaii, so cute! No wonder you're our family's mascot!"

"Hmph~" Xiao Ze hummed, then transformed into a ball of multicolored light and dissipated.

[He's still just a little kid~]

Yan Ziming chuckled inwardly, then touched the Qilin beneath him. As if signaling a message, the Qilin suddenly raised its body and let out a cry that spread far and wide.

At first it was just an inconspicuous sound, but later, accompanied by the chaotic thunder in the sky, it became as deafening as a thunderclap from the heavens, announcing something.

--I am coming!

He flung the giant's head behind him, sending it soaring high into the sky, where it landed in the very center of the battlefield.

The battle came to an abrupt end!

96. A resounding victory

Yan Ziming went to the battlefield where Huang Tao was. There were only four SSS-level mutated species left there. The previous one had been killed by the combined forces, and the remaining one was being besieged by three Void Realm experts and was retreating step by step.

boom!

A huge head fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground.

A silence.

"..."

"Woo..."

The moment they saw the head, the SSS-class monsters immediately lost their ferocity, and some even let out mournful cries from behind.

Two charred bone blades were pierced into the hollow eye area, which was covered with unidentified bits of flesh and blood. One could vaguely see how fiercely it had struggled before it died, but unfortunately, it still died such a miserable death.

This is the head of a tyrant!

What terrifies them most about their leader is that they can sense the auras of the three giants above them, which also means...

Immediately, the morale of the mutated species plummeted, and the SSS-level fighters lost all will to fight to the death and began to flee.

The humans were overjoyed when they saw the thunder and dark clouds representing Yan Ziming arrive, but they never expected her to throw this thing over, which instantly accelerated the progress of the entire battle.

A massive creature resembling a hybrid of a rhinoceros and an elephant charged wildly, its thick hide withstanding numerous attacks from Andrei and Moxin, who were tasked with stopping it, but its momentum remained unstoppable.

Boom boom boom!

Lightning bolts continued to fall from the sky, five in a row, each one heavier than the last. The last one almost blasted the vast wilderness apart, creating a huge hole, forcing it to stop.

Yan Ziming was most pleased with this kind of cumbersome target.

"Hey buddy~ We're about to go!"

Yan Ziming gently stroked the Spear of Victory in his hand, sat on the back of the Qilin, leaned back slightly, and dense electric currents appeared on his body, like a chaotic calamity, as he hurled the Spear of Victory at the speed of light!

boom!

The instant it was thrown, the burst of electricity and the impact caused the Qilin beneath it to shift slightly, demonstrating just how powerful the attack was.

The Spear of Victory traversed this distance in the blink of an eye, exceeding the reach of the retina and even surpassing the consciousness of that SSS-level being.

This was a lightning-fast strike, piercing its entire body from left to right!

puff-

“Ouch——!!!”

The SSS-class aircraft was hit as if it were fired from an electromagnetic cannon. The impact caused its huge and heavy body to suddenly move dozens of meters to the right. Blood, intestines, and shattered internal organs splashed wildly from the gaps on both sides, which were more than ten meters in diameter!

The others didn't hesitate either; seeing that the SSS-class creature had suffered a near-fatal injury, they all focused their firepower on it.
