The system handed me over to the state.

Seele was completely dumbfounded, while on the high-rise building, Natalie's crimson ripples of power spread rapidly outwards from her center.

In an instant, Natalie's shouts echoed throughout the entire special zone.

After a brief silence of a few seconds, the entire special zone erupted in chaos. Countless people, their faces contorted with rage, rushed madly towards the high-rise buildings. Even the soldiers dropped their weapons and charged up the buildings.

Seele looked down at the rioting crowd, shocked. "This...this effect is that strong? And...they don't seem to be using weapons?"

"I don't know, this is the first time I've used this skill. Maybe it's because being mocked by everyone makes you stupid?"

Natalie scratched her head. Just then, rumbling footsteps echoed from the passage behind her. Were these people really that fast? Natalie smiled. "Let's begin. None of these guys are innocent. Kill them all!"

"I love killing these capitalist lackeys!"

Seele blinked. "In a sense, they are not capitalists, but rather imperialists."

"It's all the same! Kill them all! Don't hold back and I'll look down on you, Seele."

Meanwhile, in the central area of ​​the special zone, hidden by Hei hope's quantum abilities, the two observed the ferocious-looking crowd around them, and couldn't help but be surprised and mocked by Natalie's powerful abilities.

"That's pretty powerful. They even dropped their weapon and ran over. Does that taunt also have an intelligence-lowering effect?"

"Unlikely. If someone were mentally impaired, I think they would use their guns as fire sticks instead of dropping their weapons to rush out and attack."

"So, it's more likely that it's the skill's built-in weapon-dropping effect."

Hei hope's analysis was clearly more accurate. Fu Hua's expression was slightly embarrassed, and she finally said helplessly, "You... know so much."

"Don't think about practicing martial arts all day. Do something else. You'll find it much more interesting. Even playing games is fine. Joining a few game chat groups is also an option. Those silly group members know everything."

Otherwise, how do you think I know all this? How could a shut-in like me know so much? I have to rely on my silly friends in the group to educate me. There are all kinds of people in the silly group: high-achieving graduates, successful business people, tycoons, government officials, etc. They are very diverse and numerous. In short, they are very impressive.

So you can learn about the world and its hidden stories from every corner of the world through your silly group members. So becoming a silly group member is quite difficult.

"I understand, I will try."

Fu Hua nodded seriously. She could try it when she got back. Then she looked at the towering castle in the distance. "Let's go. The Empress should be there. Are you confident about this assassination?"

Fu Hua asked curiously, to which Hei hope shook her head, "To be precise... it's not that big. After all, the other party is the Empress, and after the taunt just ended, no one came out of the castle. No one inside was mocked and came out."

"In short, be careful, and if it really comes down to it, just summon the lobster and run away."

Fu Hua nodded to indicate that she understood. On the other side, Natalie pulled Seele and jumped off the high-rise building. It was simple: there were just too many people, and she dared not use any powerful skills from the high-rise building, so she had to choose to change locations.

Seele pulled a large number of Honkai Beasts out of the quantum space, and in an instant, a large number of 'mosquitoes' and 'lobster' quantum shadows fell from the sky through the rift.

The moment these quantum shadows descended, Natalie's taunt was completely thwarted!

The expressions of terror on the faces of the Shadow Empire people vanished, replaced by sheer terror. Those Shadow Empire people possessing ordinary civilians turned and ran, their faces filled with undisguised fear and dread. Those possessing soldiers tried to escape, but were pulled back by those dressed in heavy armor or resembling mages.

"They seem really scared."

Suddenly, a long scythe appeared in Natalie's hand. With a turn, the bodies of the Shadow Empire soldiers around her were cut in two, even the heavily armored soldiers, their armor severed along with them.

Seele also began to use her own weapon to attack. Compared to Natalie's resolute and decisive slashes, Seele's attacks were more agile.

Everyone Seele killed was either pierced through the heart by a scythe, destroyed by a quantum attack, or had their throat slit, giving them a silent death, because she simply couldn't fight with the same frenzied ferocity as Natalie.

In comparison, Seele is like a white grim reaper dancing among the soldiers, silently taking the lives of one Shadow Empire soldier after another, while Natalie is more like a berserker, violently tearing apart every enemy around her, surrounded by the screams of enemies and angry roars.

At the same time, Seele's quantum shadows began to strike the Shadow Empire soldiers in this area. The quantum shadows were the nemesis of these Shadow Empire soldiers; ordinary physical weapons, guns, missiles, and grenades could hardly cause them much damage.

The spells cast by those frail mages couldn't even harm the Quantum Shadow in the slightest, as if it were immune to them.

The only weapons capable of harming the Quantum Shadow are the technological warhammers or greatswords wielded by the heavily armored soldiers.

However, as expected of the core area of ​​the Shadow Empire, the army stationed in this region was not as useless as imagined. After a brief period of chaos, under the leadership of elite soldiers and some powerful individuals, they quickly organized into a counterattack force of a certain size. Furthermore, Natalie's taunt effect was gradually fading, and more and more reinforcements began to flow into their area.

"There are more and more of them!"

Natalie shouted into the communicator, simultaneously slashing dozens of people in front of her horizontally, instantly cutting them in half at the waist, turning them into black mist as they died.

Seele was starting to feel the strain. Natalie glanced at the time during the battle and jumped to Seele's side without hesitation. "The big guys are coming out! Prepare to retreat! At this rate, we'll be worn down and killed!"

The next moment, a shrill sound rang out in the sky, and a few seconds later, a fierce bombardment descended on the area. The flames instantly covered the entire block, and the enemy's long-range firepower began to support the battle. She could continue fighting here alone without any problem, but Seele could not.

"Understood! Come out, Tonatius!"

The rift suddenly opened, and the enormous lobster, Tonatiu, burst out, rampaging through the enemy ranks. Seele and Natalie took advantage of the chaos to quickly escape the battlefield and return to the quantum space.

Chapter 338: Assassination Failure

“Keep releasing the quantum shadows. You command them, and I'll handle the statistics.”

Natalie switched her and Seele's tasks; she had already gathered almost all the troops in the special zone through taunting.

Moreover, after the taunting effect is implemented, these soldiers will naturally engage in efficient positional warfare under higher command.

Seele only needs to let the Quantum Shadow keep attacking the Shadow Empire's position, forcing them to reveal their full strength, and then she can take stock of the results herself.

Seele nodded, and Natalie reminded her again not to overdo it, to control the rhythm and intensity, and to make sure that the full strength of the Shadow Empire in the special zone was brought into play, so that their statistical data could be the most accurate.

But Natalie looked at the gathering dark clouds in the distance and knew that time was running out. The enemy's elite troops on the outer perimeter had begun to return to defend, and if things dragged on any longer, it wouldn't be so easy to escape.

"Hei hope, Fu Hua, how's the progress on your end?"

Natalie asked in the channel, and then Hei hope's somewhat impatient voice came through, "I know, I'm busy!"

After saying that, Natalie abruptly hung up the communication. Slightly helpless, she could only start her formal work. On the other side, Hei hope and Fu Hua stared at the black behemoth in front of them.

"Do you have a way to deal with this big guy?"

"I'm not sure... but we're certain our target is behind her. I'll hold her off, you just charge in and kill her!"

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

The scythe in Hei hope's hand instantly transformed into black and red claws, which reached out and gripped the black behemoth's throat tightly. Then, it yanked the behemoth towards itself. The other claw slashed down instantly, turning the black behemoth into black mist. But the next moment, the mist reformed into the black behemoth, and the claws solidified, engaging Hei hope in a leg-to-leg combat.

"How interesting...Want to test your strength against me?"

A smile appeared on Hei Xi's lips. In an instant, he forcefully lifted the black behemoth high into the air and slammed it to the ground. Without a loud bang, the black behemoth turned into mist again, condensing above its head before plunging down.

With a sudden swing of the crimson chain gripped in her right hand, Hei hope's black and red claws spun in mid-air, striking the black behemoth and pinning her back to the ground.

This time, the black behemoth did not turn into mist to escape Hei hope's attack, but was held to the ground and struggled. On the other side, Fu Hua, supporting the black behemoth and being entangled by Hei hope, rushed directly into the room in front of her.

She smashed the door in front of her with a single palm strike, and the first thing she saw was the empress with a ferocious expression and the prime minister with a nervous look on his face.

Without the slightest hesitation, Fu Hua channeled the power within her body into a single palm and pressed it down on the two of them. In an instant, a burst of energy erupted from her right palm.

However, after the outbreak, Fu Hua found that the two were unharmed. A black shield with flowing shadows protected them. What shocked Fu Hua the most was that the shadows flowing on the shield actually showed a hideous human face and body parts such as arms.

"you...."

"Humans, we anticipated your assassination attempt on the Queen, and we were prepared."

"This shield is not something a human like you can easily break through."

Looking at the arrogant Prime Minister inside the shield, Fu Hua coldly pushed up her glasses and struck out with her palm again. The destructive energy hit the shield but had no effect whatsoever.

Is it impossible to break through? Or is it that my pure physical attacks are ineffective, and only magic, or even attacks of the soul or spirit, can break through it?

Fu Hua doesn't have such an attack method. She is a contractor who pushes her body to the limit, and her attacks are mostly physical and based on her internal energy. Therefore, she is really powerless against such a shield.

At that moment, Natalie's voice came through the communicator.

"Um... Gentlemen, the enemy's elite troops have already entered the city. If we don't leave now, it might be troublesome to leave later."

"Tsk....Kurohime!"

"I know! This annoying guy is impossible to kill no matter how hard I try!"

Meanwhile, Hei hope outside was still venting her anger on the black behemoth. No matter how she attacked it, it was indestructible and kept pestering her, so she had no way to enter the interior to help Fu Hua carry out the assassination.

Now, time is running out. The enemy's elite troops have already entered the city, and they have to admit that this assassination attempt has failed.

"This is so annoying! Let's retreat! Seele, take us away from here!"

"understood!"

As Seele finished speaking, a quantum rift opened up around each of them, instantly sucking them in before closing and disappearing. This scene stunned the Prime Minister. Quantum rifts... Could it be that someone among the three kingdoms could control the power of quantum space?

That's impossible... impossible! That's the power of a demon! How could a human possibly control the power of a demon?

In contrast to the Prime Minister's shock, inside the quantum space, the four looked at each other in bewilderment. Hei hope asked first, "So, what's the situation?"

“We left before the elite forces got close, leaving some Quantum Shadows to clean up the mess. The statistics are basically all done, right, Seele?”

Seele quickly nodded, "Yes, Seele and Sister Natalie have completed the mission. They've tallied the number of enemies near the Special Zone and have a rough plan. How's it going on your end, Sister Black Seele?"

"Bad luck, the assassination failed, right?"

In response to Natalie's question, Fu Hua nodded, raised her head, and said seriously, "It's my fault. I didn't expect that the opponent's shield would be something that my physical attacks couldn't break through."

"When I attacked the opponent, the opponent used some kind of magical shield, which made them completely immune to my physical attacks. I didn't have any soul or mental attacks at hand. When I wanted to try again, Natalie told me that we needed to retreat."

"Tsk...it's actually something like this?"

Hei hope was a little annoyed. He crossed his arms and thought for a while before saying, "Fine, this is also a piece of news. It means that if we want to kill these two guys, we will not only need physical attacks, but also energy, mental, and even soul attacks."

"And I've also encountered a troublesome guy here. He's unkillable and keeps pestering me. Otherwise, if I went in and used my quantum abilities to attack, he might not have been able to withstand it."

Hei hope sighed. It wasn't thorough enough... There was too much missing information, and he hadn't expected such a strange shield.

"Alright, this operation is over. Although the assassination failed, the intelligence we obtained is enough for the operations command center to carry out subsequent operations."

Chapter 339: The Third World

"Did the operation fail?"

"It's alright. You've gathered enough intelligence for our future military deployments. Thank you for your hard work. Now return to the nearest outpost and use the time-space teleportation to come back."

"Okay, that's it. Communication is over."

Mu Ziming ended the communication and sighed, "I never expected that there would be a shield that can completely protect against physical attacks. This is truly beyond our expectations."

"What's wrong? You look so serious. What were you muttering about just now?"

Lu Yunying handed the lunchbox to Mu Ziming and asked with some confusion. Mu Ziming told Lu Yunying and Tang Huan about the report he had just received. After listening, the two of them had the same reaction and sighed.

"What a pity. We were just a little short of eliminating this threat. It seems we still need to have the contractors team up to target the empress. Our troops must provide support and contain others from the outside."
