National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The wind whistled in my ears.

This isn't just a queen, she's got real strength and cunning...

He glanced hastily down below.

Great! It's greenery!

"Snap!"

The first layer was the canopy of some kind of broad-leaved tree, with mutated, thick leaves so sturdy they could be used as a blanket, but it was still smashed through by Ren Bowling Ball, and plant sap smeared all over his face.

Below are a dozen or so vines that are commonly found in tropical regions.

Before they broke, they clung to his limbs like bungee cords, cushioning the fall, but he still spun around in mid-air a few times in an unladylike fashion.

"boom--"

It flipped over and landed safely.

A few shattered leaves fell down, one of which landed right on his messy short hair, like a green melon-shaped cap.

Nothing was moved.

[...Although I know I shouldn't laugh at a time like this, the boss's green hat is really unique.]

[Perfect pose! It's just that this tree looks a bit pitiful; look, it's been completely smashed bare...]

[Where's the guy who said our Renyi-ge is doomed? Come out and show yourself!]

[Why is this big shot still posing here?]

I'm just waiting for the dizziness to pass, and taking a break—

My legs are numb.

He used this opportunity to sense that the [Deep Sea Shadow] was rapidly approaching...

The speed of shared bikes.

ヾ(．￣□￣)ﾂ゜゜゜

Alright, it's just a boat. We're lucky if we can get ashore. What more do you want?

In that case,

If we can just delay it a little longer...

"Hiss—"

After traveling southwest downstream, and having fought their way out of the swamp, they were now on relatively firm ground covered with fallen leaves.

However, with Vanessa's arrival, the soil began to churn like a swamp.

And directly behind,

The dark red figure floated over without touching the ground.

"Run!"

She asked softly, "Why aren't you running anymore?"

He glanced casually at the restless swamps, pondering whether to lure Vanessa head-on into [Deep Sea Shadow] or to make a few more sarcastic remarks and get Vanessa to send him another 'plane ticket' (i.e., a ticket to a plane).

Just then—

"Boss, you have to go!"

Ivan, his voice cracking, charged out like a berserker, brandishing "Heart's Desire."

"Although this worm is a bit fierce, there are many of us!"

Immediately afterward, Klaus and Ethan rushed out in a wheelbarrow that looked like it was used to haul bricks at a construction site, with Aurora following closely behind. On the wheelbarrow was Sita, whose eyes were closed.

"We can hold on!"

Any: "..."

He looked at the group of disheveled men who had caught up with him, speechless, but it would be a lie to say he was completely unmoved.

In a completely different world, it's quite lucky to encounter such a group of fools.

"you......"

I really wanted to say something sentimental or shout out a passionate line to match this tragic atmosphere, but...

"grumble!"

『Tap lightly (#`O′)』

Xiao Jiu protested vehemently under his control, saying, "It's not a pressure ball!"

He glanced down at the deformed octopus.

Never mind, I'll definitely do it next time.

Hopefully, it can really hold out. Ran Yi quickly ran towards the direction of [Deep Sea Shadow].

"A wave of love! Ah!"

As they walked further and further away, they could still hear the sounds of fighting (and people falling to the ground) behind them.

"Tsk..."

When he comes back, these guys will be either turned into snake food or they'll be inhuman.

He casually reached into his pocket and rummaged around.

Without hesitation, he hurled the soft-bodied creature, which had instantly turned yellow, at the "Suicide Squad"—

"You feed fish for a thousand days, but only use them for one. Little Jiu, it's up to you now."

"grumble?!!!"

......

Anywhere behind.

Aurora exudes a healing aura.

This is the ability she gained after upgrading to Lv3:

Treatment targets specific areas within a defined range.

Currently, I can lock onto three targets within a 40-meter range, including myself.

however--

"Ha! Take another one of my axe blows—huh?"

"Mechanical overload—poof!"

The exchange was brief, without any earth-shattering collision or evenly matched tug-of-war.

Ethan looked at Klaus, who was now embedded in a tree root, and then at Ivan, who had been sent flying and crashed into a mud pit. His face contorted into a bitter expression.

"...Me too?"

Aurora pulled a heavy flintlock pistol from her bag and shoved it into his arms:

"I can't aim properly, Mr. Drake, please! I'll go get Ivan and Klaus!"

talking.

She rushed towards that unlucky big tree.

Ivan held the gun like it was a hot potato. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the flintlock pistol he had repaired years ago.

Fate is truly wondrous...

"Damn it... damn it..."

Looking up, he saw that Vanessa's gaze was fixed on him and Sita, her fingertips glowing with an eerie green light.

Turning his head to look at Sita, who seemed to be trembling slightly under the suppression of his bloodline, he saw...

Ethan gritted his teeth, hung the flintlock pistol on his belt, straightened his bow tie and cuffs, and drew the scimitar that had been arbitrarily discarded.

He darted forward a split second before Vanessa raised her hand.

He held the sword upright in front of him with one hand, and behind his back with the other, performing a very affected gentlemanly bow.

Vanessa: "..."

As it turns out, if your behavior is outrageous enough, it can indeed save your life, albeit only temporarily.

"As a 'god,' don't you... want to hear about the outside world? About the world beyond this world...?"

Vanessa's golden eyes narrowed slightly.

There is a play!

Sure enough, this kind of old monster who has been hiding in one place for thousands of years is even less interested in gossip than a 2G internet surfer.

"This world is too small... the land is only this small!"

"Beyond the galaxy, there are burning stars, black holes that can devour everything, and... silicon-based life forms that can live forever without molting..."

Ethan got more and more into it:

"Don't you want to know what's on the other side of the sea? What do our gods rely on to rule the planet? It's quantum mechanics, it's the law of entropy increase!"

"Do you know Schrödinger's cat? Do you know about the two-dimensional foil? It's a magical tool for reducing the dimensions of the three-dimensional world!"

The contemptuous expression on Vanessa's beautiful face gradually froze.

"Humans..."

As if recalling something, a hint of nostalgia crept into her voice, "It's been so long since I've heard such imaginative... nonsense."

Although weak, they are far superior to those hissing Naga and snake people.

"A thousand years ago... I can hardly remember, there was also someone dressed in white who said these incomprehensible words to me."

"What 'genetic lock,' 'sequence,' 'awakening project'...?"

Vanessa raised her hand,

The inorganic vertical pupils gazed at his flawless new skin, his tone languid:

"Back then... I was just a little guy locked in a transparent box, waiting to be eaten as a lab rat..."

Ethan was wiping away cold sweat.

Upon hearing this, their ears immediately perked up.

Holy crap?!

This is big news!
