My front door leads to a comic strip

Chapter 243, 242: Detonate the Thermobaric Bomb!

Gu Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Whoosh!

With a flap of her wings, Frey easily ascended into the sky, hovering at a height that Gu Yuan could hardly reach, looking down at him from above.

"The speed is good, for a human."

She commented, "But compared to a true demon king, you are still far from it."

Without wasting words, Gu Yuan sprang up once more.

The sword light and the lightning bursting from her body intertwined to form a net of death, attempting to block all possible escape routes for Frey!

Frey, however, remained unperturbed, gracefully shifting and flipping through the air, even continuing her explanation with a calm and collected tone, as if instructing a junior: "Don't be in such a hurry, let me explain. After all, the opportunity to receive personal guidance from the Demon King is a once-in-a-lifetime chance."

"The human body is inherently unable to withstand the enormous loads of certain skills, such as accelerated thinking, which can cause almost irreversible damage to the brain."

"But the Demon King is different."

"You must possess similar skills, right? After all, you're a special visitor from another world."

"Unfortunately—"

Her voice carried a hint of pity, yet was utterly arrogant. "Unlike you, who can accelerate your thinking by ten or even hundreds of times, my thinking speed is consistently maintained at a thousand times!"

A thousandfold acceleration means that, in Frey's perception, all of her opponent's movements are slowed down by a thousandfold.

As if to confirm her words, Gu Yuan's speeding figure suddenly stopped, and two streaks of blood flowed from his nose, which were particularly glaring in the sunlight.

He reached out and wiped it away, the cloth falling back to the ground, a chill running through him: she was right.

Even for the future Saint Hyuga, who could instantly kill an ordinary Demon King, a thousandfold acceleration would still be almost the limit of his human body.

Beyond this limit, the body may be able to barely keep up, but the brain's processing power cannot.

"The human body is still too weak."

With a thought, his regeneration skill quietly activated, quickly repairing the damaged tiny blood vessels in his brain.

The next moment, his magic surged, causing countless bolts of lightning to be generated out of thin air and blasting towards all possible landing spots of Frey!

"it's useless."

Frey's figure transformed into blurry streaks of light in the air, flashing with incredible speed, causing all the lightning strikes to miss by the slightest margin.

At the same time, she flapped her wings, and countless feathers mixed with fierce wind magic poured down on Gu Yuan on the ground like a storm!

"I am the King of the Sky, who can bring my talents and skills to their fullest potential."

Her voice came from all directions, filled with absolute confidence, "Therefore, whether it's your magic or your slashes, they are no different from slow motion in my eyes."

She abruptly changed the subject, lowering her tone and adding a touch of condescension: "However—considering your courage to challenge the Demon King, and the fact that Ramiris seems to like you quite a bit, I'll give you an extra chance."

"If you can survive my next attack and be severely wounded, I'll acknowledge your right to live and spare your life, how about it?"

Whoosh!

Before Gu Yuan could reply.

A feather imbued with wind magic grazed his arm, and blood slowly seeped out.

He glanced at the wound; even with his perception a hundred times faster, he still couldn't fully capture the speed of those feathers.

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, once again marveling at the combat power level of this world. Without further hesitation, he used his trump card, probing the Thousand Realms Bracelet with his spiritual power, and resolutely took out that metal artifact that was incompatible with magical civilization—the individual thermobaric bomb.

Frey in mid-air was taken aback, narrowed her eyes, and stared intently at the "weapon" that Gu Yuan had never seen before in his hand.

The thing had no magical energy fluctuations and a strange shape, yet it gave her battle-hardened intuition a faint warning.

Out of the Demon King's caution and fighting instinct, even with an absolute advantage, she did not rush close, but instead increased her altitude slightly.

Gu Yuan looked up: "Thank you for your explanation. Therefore, this is my return gift. Please give me your guidance."

Frey's explanation of limits gave him a clearer view of the future path and strengthened his resolve in making this choice.

Then, under Frey's questioning and wary gaze, he initiated the launch procedure.

boom!

A not-so-loud launch sound echoed through the woods.

The projectile was fired at Frey at a relatively slow speed.

Frey easily sidestepped, too lazy to even think a thousand times harder to analyze the situation, a hint of sneer even flashing through her mind: "That's it? It doesn't even cover the hem of my clothes—"

However, this contemptuous thought had not yet completely settled—

A sound of gas being released assaulted her mind. An unprecedented sense of crisis instantly pierced through all her defensive instincts, seizing her heart!

Huh? I'm going to die!?

wrong!

His pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and the magic energy throughout his body surged wildly in response to instinct!

She tried to flap her wings and push her speed to the limit to escape this airspace!

But it was too late!

The slowly flying projectile suddenly unleashed a burst of light and heat that devoured everything in front of her evasive trajectory!

boom!!!

The extreme brilliance and high temperature, comparable to the surface of the sun, instantly erupted and expanded in the airspace where she was located!

The devastating shockwave spread rapidly outward in a spherical shape, engulfing and vaporizing everything in its path!

The air was instantly sucked out, creating a brief but deadly vacuum hell!

Frey only had time to let out a short scream before her consciousness was completely overwhelmed by the torrent of destruction!

Gu Yuan gazed at the rapidly expanding fireball and the oncoming shockwave, and whispered, "Goodbye."

His figure blurred for a moment before the shockwave hit him, and he left the spot through the pre-prepared interdimensional gate.

At his current level of evolution, he is not yet able to survive in the oxygen-free and ultra-high-temperature environment created at the center of the thermobaric bomb.

Time passed in absolute silence and destruction.

Whoosh—

After an unknown amount of time, amidst the scorched earth and devastation, a figure, charred black and barely recognizable as human, struggled to lift the rubble and slag from its body and slowly rose from the ground.

It's a flère.

Her clothes were completely destroyed, large areas of her skin were carbonized and peeled off, her once beautiful and gorgeous wings were now charred and broken, and her face was filled with horror and bewilderment.

She had no idea what had just happened. The moment the explosion occurred, her senses, her thoughts, everything about her was forcibly reset to zero.

"Did I just...die?"

The thought, filled with unbelievable horror, surfaced in her chaotic mind.

If it weren't for her "super-fast regeneration" ability, which allows her to regenerate her body even if only her heart and brain remain, "What kind of weapon is that?!"

She looked around at the hellish scene and felt weaker than ever before.

She tried to activate her remaining magic power to prioritize the regeneration of her wings, but suddenly saw Gu Yuan step out of the void unharmed.

"How could you be completely unharmed?!"

Frey stared wide-eyed in shock. "Could it be—space teleportation?"

"How could a human possibly master such a skill?"

Her thoughts were in complete disarray, filled with a sense of absurdity.

However, before she could figure it out, Gu Yuan's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot once again.

Immediately, a piercing pain shot through the base of the two wings that had just regenerated on his back!

She turned around abruptly, and in her field of vision, Gu Yuan was standing behind her, holding her newly grown wings in his hand!

"you----!"

Frey's shock, anger, and pain froze on her face. Her vision went black, and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
