I am a female swordsman.

"You can't dodge it. Wherever there is light, my attack can ignore spatial distance. Unless, you can be faster than light."

Hovering in mid-air, flapping its wings, the [Depriver] felt an unprecedented surge of power coursing through its body. This angelic bloodline was acquired by hunting down the surviving angels of the [Inner World] within the world of Divine Comedy; the archangel's dying struggle had left a deep impression on the Depriver.

Because it has never been fully analyzed, the Depriver is unwilling to use this power.

Even today, facing the swordsman shrouded in demonic energy, he had no choice but to unleash his strongest countermeasure. The angelic bloodline of the Divine Comedy world is indeed a perfect life form; in the eyes of the Depriver, the angelic bloodline has no weaknesses. The only problem—energy supply—has now been thoughtfully solved by the system, leaving him invincible!

"Faster than light? No, I only need to..." Huang Quan corrected the Depriver's mistake with a slight smile, and with lightning speed, she dragged a red and white afterimage behind her, arriving behind him before her enemy could react. "...As long as I'm faster than you, that's enough."

Claims of being faster than light are nothing but self-aggrandizement.

"what?!"

"First, the wings." The wound on his shoulder hadn't yet healed, but the cold, indifferent white-haired, red-eyed demon grabbed the base of the angel's white wings with one hand each. The moment the boiling blood demonic energy touched the angel's body, brimming with light, it triggered a series of deafening explosions!

This type of explosion will not end until the two contact sources disperse.

So the onlookers below saw the pure white angel soaring in mid-air let out a painful scream, wildly thrashing left and right in an erratic manner, trying to shake off the crimson demonic shadow behind it. The scene resembled two ferocious birds of prey locked in combat, leaving a trail of explosions in the air as they flew aimlessly, revealing a primal, untamed ferocity!

Boom!!

The two entangled individuals crashed into the underground mountain, soaring upwards until they finally reached the heavens!

After the two humanoid cataclysms broke through the mountains, the small town above the Mingus base was shredded to pieces layer by layer by the increasingly intense third-order energy bursts! For the two, the underground base was an environment that restricted their actions, and most of their attacks were highly precise and non-dissipative. Now that they were completely unleashed, their control over the third-order energy was naturally as free as if it were nothing!

Tear off the wings!!

A cold killing intent stained her crimson eyes. Ignoring the relentless explosions that left both of them injured, she clung tightly to the base of the angel's wings beneath her! At this moment, Huang Quan unleashed a ruthless, death-defying ferocity. Having experienced countless near-death struggles in the ghoul world, she was capable of completely disregarding the approaching footsteps of death when she truly unleashed her fury!

Realizing the terrifying thing the swordsman behind him was about to do, the Depriver was like a severely frightened bird, flapping its wings frantically and trying to fly faster, attempting to shake off the Yellow Springs in its erratic movements!

The depriver could already sense the mournful cries of the wings behind him, unable to bear the weight.

Muscle fibers were violently torn apart, and bones began to twist and deform!

He had considered using powerful light magic to blast the Yellow Springs down, but the higher the magical power, the more focused and efficient the controller needed to be. In a calm state, the angelic Depriver could naturally transform into a light turret, crushing the enemy to the point of unbearable agony.

But when a guy of similar skill level, who is fearless and completely willing to risk his life to fight, uses this fighting style to entangle you, the depriver, who has rarely fought a desperate battle, begins to doubt his life.

*Snap! Sizzle!*

"Ahhhh!!!"

The demonized, grotesque, horny left hand tore off one of the angel's wings! Blood splattered from the horrific wound onto Huang Quan's left hand, and was immediately absorbed by the long, slender claw, which was full of brutal beauty. The enemy's screams were the most beautiful music to Huang Quan's ears!

"Is it fun?"

The hoarse voice suddenly transformed into overlapping devilish whispers, and Huang Quan's eternally expressionless, icy face, which had been on the verge of complete demonic rampage, began to resemble that of a sadistic queen. This unparalleled madness manifested in her wide, alluringly red lips, and her tongue swirled irresistibly around them.

The Depriver, whose wing had been torn off, was in so much pain that he could hardly think. Finally, disregarding the possibility of injuring himself, he kept detonating various high-powered spells on his back!

Despite the struggle and counterattack of the depriver, Huang Quan calmly slipped away from behind him with a smile that did not diminish.

"Next, it's time to stab it in."

The original mechanical-style single-edged sword transforms into a snake-belly sword that coils like a venomous snake, writhing as if it were alive!

Chapter Fifty-Four: The Heart-Piercing Sword

The Demon Sword: Serpent's Belly Sword!

This is the standard equipment of the [Demon Contractor]. Because the demon Puno has refused to acknowledge Huang Quan, he has been unable to summon this exclusive weapon. However, in the dynamic balance of the stalemate between the two demons, some of their power has leaked out and been acquired by Huang Quan.

Snapped! !

With a sudden swift movement, the snake-belly sword was drawn, whistling through the air with a crisp sound like a firecracker exploding.

The Depriver, whose wing had been torn off alive, trembled instinctively upon hearing the terrifying sound of the whip and seeing the demonized Queen of the Underworld's maddening appearance!

We can't win...

Even with all his abilities and bloodlines, he couldn't defeat this woman codenamed "Crow." The Depriver had enjoyed smooth sailing in several worlds, easily crushing the natives of each plane with the power bestowed by the system, so he couldn't possibly imagine what Huang Quan had experienced in the worlds she had traversed.

Every swing of the sword is imbued with a yearning for life and a determination to fight to the very end if one does not die.

run away!

Once this thought appeared, it lingered in the mind of the depriver like a nightmare. Unless he could crush such an existence by surpassing a level, he had no chance of winning.

Having pondered this, the depriver was already preparing to flee.

No world-changing ideals, no grand feats, are more important than one's own life. Only a heartbroken idiot like this crazy woman would be so completely devoted!

'Host, keep up the good work! The system is about to launch information suppression; three minutes countdown. Engage [Hunter 1] for three minutes, and the target will lose all armed support!'

The Yellow Springs system timely issued an encouraging notification, indicating that it was close to success. Suppressing the enemy system, which was oblivious to its own mortality, and then disguising it as a scapegoat in the Divine Comedy world was perfect. While it didn't expect to completely deceive the terrifying being about to descend from a higher dimension, it could at least buy some time.

'Three minutes is still within my tolerance range; your calculations are spot on.'

Huang Quan's maniacal smile now held a hint of amusement in response to the system's precise calculations.

But at this moment, she had no time to argue with the system. The key was to completely eliminate the [Depriver's] ability to resist. Meaningless killing was indeed pleasurable, but Huang Quan didn't need such pleasure. She felt she could leave the [Depriver] two paths.

[Demon Slayer] Combat Skill: Piercing Sword!

You have nowhere to run!

Spinning and swirling, the supple whip, under Huang Quan's skillful control, compressed to its limit like a spring. In this extremely brief interval, her merciless, mocking crimson eyes remained locked on the Depriver, like a hawk coldly watching a cunning rabbit. And it was precisely during this brief moment of Huang Quan's gathering of power that the Depriver's cautiously concealed wing unleashed a roaring burst of light energy!

Like a rocket launcher, it merged into the light and sped towards the horizon!

The energy control during this escape was flawless!

In the blink of an eye, Huang Quan was left several kilometers behind, his speed of escape far surpassing any fighter jet in this era of the physical world! The system immediately issued a warning, urging Huang Quan not to let the cooked duck fly away! The next moment, Huang Quan, continuing to push himself to the limit, made his move!

Suddenly, a thin red line appeared in the azure sky.

This thin line perfectly covered the original trajectory of the [Depriver] as it sped away...

The Heart-Piercing Demon Sword completed its master's pursuit mission in an instant. It was less a matter of speed and more a testament to Puno's resilient body's recovery. Huang Quan had witnessed Puno's prime in the spiritual world—a calamity that coiled around a planet, powered by its molten lava!

In comparison, the body stretching out before me is nothing more than skin and fur.

"ended."

The demonic sword pierced deep into the angel's chest, its brutal blade unfurling from the inside and bursting forth from his body in an instant.

The angel, pierced through to death, hung in the sky like a thornbird impaled on a thorn tree, with horrifying red and white blades growing from the depths of its body. The precise and deadly strike beyond visual range—the power Huang Quan displayed at this moment truly revealed the formidable strength of a third-tier intelligent life form!

A Tier 3 weapon with proper armament can unleash power that far surpasses that of a Tier 3 weapon without armor.

Those who have been deprived have no power left to rely on!

'Information support initiated; enemy system communication jamming complete! Our system is now in control… Enemy armed support loading reduced to zero! Initiating the clearing of [Hunter 1]'s loaded weapons… Congratulations, host, the battle is over. The default mission [Path Divergence] is complete. Subsequent rewards will be calculated upon leaving the Divine Comedy world… The cry from the downstream of history has been answered by the time traveler; this battle will save the world!'

So that's how you successfully save the world?

As if sensing Huang Quan's disbelief and confusion, the system provided an explanation.

'From a higher-dimensional perspective, the host's actions in this timeline prevented a historical shift in the Divine Comedy world. According to the rules, multiple dimensional distortion organizations lost their eligibility to explore the Divine Comedy world. From this moment on, the Divine Comedy world has avoided the fate of being reduced to a dimensional transformation by time-traveling monsters; therefore, the host has successfully saved the world!'

The system also reaped significant benefits from this battle.

Its benefit was not by withholding Huang Quan's rewards or intercepting anything, but by going against the tide to help the Divine Comedy World. The consciousness of this world naturally had a good impression of the system, and some intelligent variables could be said to have accepted the system's call at certain times and become new hosts!

This means that it will have more variables to explore in higher dimensions in the future!

Although the host Huang Quan is already excellent enough, there's no harm in having more benefits.

'...'

Huang Quan felt a sense of peace. According to the system's explanation, she should be happy to have played the role of a savior, but her happiness only lasted a second or two before fading away. Compared to that, she was more concerned about her personal matters. During the one-sided beating of the [Depriver], she had disregarded the possibility of disrupting the balance of magical energy within her body, fighting with all her might. Now it was time to resolve that issue.

【cube】!

The retracted snake-belly sword still bore the "Depriver," its armor completely stripped away. It was an irony, really. The one who claimed to deprive others of their ability-gathering skills had now been stripped of all his abilities, and was now screaming in agony like a chick awaiting the judgment of others.

Without any need for threats or wits, the [Depriver], whose sharpness had been completely destroyed by the intent to crush its edge, obediently handed over the [Cube] on its body.

A regular cube, full of geometric beauty, shining with a bright blue hue.

It's about the size of a palm.

It contains boundless energy, and a shining star can be vaguely seen within the cube, as if it contains the ultimate mystery of this world.

Chapter Fifty-Five Victory

"It's all gone, all of it..."

The "Depriver," his face ashen, unconsciously repeated the same phrase, his eyes having lost their former arrogance.

All his extraordinary powers and strange artifacts were stripped away, his connection to the magical contract vanished, and even his own system disappeared without a trace. The immense fall from grace, from his lofty position to the mundane world, brought a profound sense of despondency and unease that rendered the "Stripper" incapable of rational thought.

Everything was over for him.

And the cause of all this is this woman in front of us, who is also a time traveler!

His head was bowed, his gaze cold and venomous. He hated this unreasonable woman for insisting on opposing him. What was there to be attached to about the natives of this world? Countless worlds were teeming with natives like her; even breathtakingly beautiful women and charming men could be found anywhere! She was insane, this woman must be crazy to try and stop him like this! Transmigrators who sided with the natives would one day meet their demise!

As the gaze of the Depriver turned venomous, Huang Quan, sitting in a higher position in front of him like a queen, played with the cube in her hand, her gaze seemingly falling on him.

Such an obvious change in emotion could not escape Huang Quan's perception.

It's truly an eyesore...

"Next, let's talk about you."

The hoarse, cold voice made the depriver tremble violently. He raised his head, his once handsome face now smeared with blood and dust, and forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace at Huang Quan.

Clearly, the next step is to decide his fate.

"Please speak..." Although he was sitting, the figure of the [Depriver] seemed to have become much more hunched. His fighting spirit and sharpness had been completely crushed. He could no longer face Huang Quan with the same arrogance and straight spine as when they first met.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your system is probably completely gone."

The Depriver's already grim expression turned even uglier. Although he was mentally prepared, for someone like him who relied on the system for all his power, this was simply a devastating blow.

The Yellow Springs' system has a huge advantage, requiring absolutely no military support and focusing entirely on information suppression and coverage warfare between systems. In contrast, the Depriver's system is much worse off, with virtually no chance of turning the tide under the current circumstances.

What kind of life do you envision for the future?

"I've lost all my abilities, and the system is gone too. I can only stay in this world. What kind of life can I choose?" As she spoke, a look of desolation appeared on her face. After all, the one who had been deprived of his power was a proud transmigrator who had seen many worlds. The thought that he would have to live in only one world for the rest of his life...

His soul is slowly turning to death.
