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

“I called you, but you didn’t answer. That’s your problem.”

Murong Haiyi quickly shifted the blame, and Yan Ziming discovered that she did indeed have a missed call record.

"Hmph! It's nothing, get lost!"

Yan Ziming angrily hung up the phone, his body transforming into a streak of lightning as he gradually disappeared into the distance.

......

In the shadowy corner, a figure leaned against the wall, waiting anxiously.

Ina bit her handkerchief in frustration, stomped on the mud, and looked extremely anxious.

Why haven't you come yet?

Do you think putting a little pressure on you will stop you from catching up? If your emotional intelligence is only this much, how did you manage to get so many girls? Since you understand girls' minds so well, why don't you go after them!

Admittedly, she was already disheartened after hearing Yan Ziming's answer; he showed no intention of changing his mind. Even if it were just a sliver of hope, she would still pursue it relentlessly.

Perhaps she didn't expect that Yan Ziming simply didn't want their ambiguous relationship to continue. Since it was destined to be fruitless and wouldn't benefit anyone, he chose to leave and ruthlessly cut ties with her.

So just seconds ago, Ina saw Yan Ziming leave.

"Idiot...why didn't you try harder to persuade me to stay?! Is my only value to you in solving the insectoid beast problem?!"

Ina's tears were already streaming down her face.

why?

Am I really unable to enter your world?

Am I not enough to make you take a few more steps?

Ina felt wronged. She had clearly made a mistake in giving Yan Ziming the choice this time.

Happiness is something you have to grasp for yourself.

But it was too late. She left dejectedly, her steps faltering, staggering with each step, and departing in sorrow.

Ina arrived at a pavilion, her face pressed against the cool tabletop, her breathing gradually becoming even.

"Since we've lost contact, let's just forget about this whole thing completely..."

The moonlight shone on her, draping her in a veil of sanctity.

"Well......"

For moonlight, which is typically gentle, this brightness was a bit too dazzling, and Ina slightly opened her eyes.

The moon seems to have gotten bigger...

Hmm? No... there seem to be two moons?

Ina's eyes widened suddenly, and she was slightly taken aback.

There was indeed an extra moon in the sky, and it was very, very close to the City of the New Moon, as if it had risen from the City of the New Moon.

"This is?"

The bright moon emitted a peculiar ripple that lingered and passed through any obstacle, awakening many figures.

Several figures suddenly appeared in the sky above Crescent City: Yide, the Grand Preceptor, Yike, and Su Yuchen. Their expressions were extremely solemn.

"Has Yan Ziming already left?"

“That’s right. She is the last Chinese person to remain in Crescent City. People from the United States and Russia have also left. Only people from the European Union are still here.”

"Immediately! Raise the defense level to the highest! Have someone take control of those EU guys and cut off all contact with the outside world!"

Under Iko's solemn command, the protective shield of Crescent City was immediately activated to its maximum power, reflecting light like a newly appeared glass mirror.

Crescent City was placed on the highest level of alert within minutes.

"What's going on? You're creating a diplomatic problem!"

The EU representative was furious, saying he was having a good time here and was preparing to leave the next morning after finalizing the next deal, when he was suddenly surrounded by a group of heavily armed Odyssey soldiers. His anger was understandable.

The commander in charge here looked at them coldly. The order from above was that anyone who stepped out of this courtyard should be shot dead!

Id and his party have arrived at the palace.

"Your Majesty, the EU's reaction is very strong, what should we do...?"

"Hmph! Who cares! If we succeed, no matter how much they jump around, it won't matter. The EU won't dare to utter a single word!"

Id snorted coldly, full of confidence.

He wasn't worried at all about the EU's reaction in the future; in the face of absolute power, no matter how loudly you shout, no one will hear you.

This is the time for Odyssey to truly rise to prominence!

His dream of becoming emperor finally had a chance to be realized!

Yan Ziming observed the movements inside the Pacific Ocean from behind the protective shield that was already at full power.

"Is this... a sign of breaking through to the Soul Heaven realm?"

From that fluctuation, she could tell that it was the aura of a great sage.

The extra moon quickly passed through the protective shield and rose into the sky. Its aura was very gentle, unlike the violent one of Yanshan. Instead, it had a feeling of blending into nature, reflecting and complementing the bright moon.

Yan Ziming's face suddenly darkened.

Good heavens, is she taking advantage of the peaceful situation established after the Battle of Mountains and Seas to break through to the Soul Heaven realm at the safest time?

If the Great Sage succeeds in his breakthrough, then the rise of Odyssey will be unstoppable! Completely irresistible!

Even if Yan Ziming wanted to stop them, he was powerless to do so, because Odyssey had already raised the alert level to the highest level. Once he got within a kilometer of them, he would be locked onto.

In the control room.

"Sir, activating it without regard for cost will consume a lot of energy. After losing the Otherworld Sea and the underground energy control room, our energy reserves are already insufficient!"

"What's the point of telling me? Go tell His Majesty!"

The area is already heavily guarded, with a Grand Commander of the Blade of Punishment stationed outside. He is an eighth-tier expert, and it is said that a ninth-tier figure will be arriving later.

But before that—

boom!

The alloy door to the control room was violently ripped open by a tremendous force, and a tooth-grinding, creaking sound filled the air as fragments mixed with scarlet flesh and blood flew in.

A tall, imposing figure forcefully broke through the tight security netting and entered the control room as if it were empty.

"Found it...this must be the place, right?"

He was carrying a mangled humanoid body in his hand. It was still vaguely discernible that the mangled body was wearing the uniform of the Punisher's Blade, and that it belonged to the highest-ranking legion commander.

80. The Cry of the New Moon

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden intruder and stood up, but this behavior, which resembled that of a subject meeting a king, earned a satisfied nod from the tall and imposing man.

"Although you are somewhat flustered, this is the greatest respect that you ants can show by burning your lives. You can be forgiven."

The man's gaze swept over the crowd like a steamroller, and they felt their kneecaps shatter completely at that moment, all of them kneeling on the ground.

He stomped his foot, and the high-precision instruments around him instantly became crooked and twisted, shattering into a shower of scrap metal, leaving not a trace.

This almost completely destroyed the main control room, and the protective shield outside, which was responsible for resisting foreign invasion, immediately dropped, leaving Crescent City completely exposed to the sea.

Only the director of the main control room could muster a sliver of resistance, his teeth trembling as he asked, "Who...who are you...?!"

"Me? Didn't you guys give me a catchy nickname?"

The man seemed to still be in the mood to play riddles with them, and the management director fell into thought.

When did humanity produce such a powerful being? This oppressive aura seems even more terrifying than that of a great sage! Just what kind of person could possess such strength?

"?!" The management director was startled, his back already soaked with cold sweat.

Could this person before me be that towering old marshal of China?!

This was the only possibility he could think of. In his mind, only China possessed such a terrifying figure. Although Liu Mengxian was even more powerful, she was a woman, which clearly did not fit the image of the person in front of him.

Just then, another voice came from behind the tyrant.

"Great King of Giants... Tyrant... Destroyer of the world from the age of myth... With so many crowns to his name, why would you come to a place like this?"

A gentle breeze swept in, ignoring the terrifying pressure emanating from the King of Giants. Su Yuchen floated with the wind, remaining calm and composed even in the face of towering hurricanes.

"Varied--?!"

Ike and the Imperial Advisor, who were guarding near the palace, were so shocked that they were speechless.

They had already seen the intrusion into the control room on the surveillance footage. The intruder was clearly a man about two meters tall, but in Su Yuchen's words, he became the King of Giants, the Tyrant.

They had no idea that a Sequence Level member could transform into a human!

And... when did the tyrant sneak in?!

"Damn it! Humans have never shared this intelligence with us before!"

Id felt a chill run through his body. How could they dare to open the protective shield again? If a Sequence-class fighter accidentally broke in, everything would be over!

No, it's over!
