Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

As soon as he finished speaking, the killing spree in the Sky Eye satellite surveillance footage showed signs of Epona losing control.

Monsters came like a tide, and were turned into dust by the storm of her uncontrolled power, but with each devastating outburst, the last trace of clarity in her eyes was swallowed by a deeper crimson.

That was by no means the dawn of victory, but a sign of impending loss of sanity.

"Then I'm going to go!"

Chen Ming's voice rang out in the bedroom of the villa in the Half Mountain Manor. It was both a gentle farewell to Ai Lixi behind him and an encouragement to himself.

The first move he chose was the imperial-level field magic - [Castle in the Sky]!

The effect of this magic is that it can create a place to trap the enemy out of thin air. It is very suitable for dealing with some enemies with super escape abilities. Moreover, this duel is not fair. After all, the Sky City was cast by Chen Ming, so it will naturally have a certain amplifying effect on his combat power and will also suppress the enemy to a certain extent.

In short, it is very useful!

Chen Ming chanted the ancient spell of [Castle in the Sky] in advance, which was as vast as the movement of the galaxy. The huge and pure magic power surged in his body, ready to be unleashed.

The power of space silently enveloped him, and the next moment, he appeared like a god descending to earth, right above the battlefield where blood and flesh were flying and energy was raging!

His eyes swept over the knights below who were struggling to hold on and were already exhausted. Chen Ming's mind raced, and he suddenly raised his hands, and his palms burst out with tremendous magic power that was enough to distort space!

"rise!"

The silent instructions are like the motto of creation.

At first, a strange, water-like, rainbow-colored ripple spread across the sky, like a stone dropped by a god. Then, it seemed as if billions of invisible craftsmen began to carve it in the void.

Faint outlines, composed of pure energy, sketched out towering city walls, soaring spires, and cascading arcades at a speed beyond vision! Light refracted and converged strangely within them, illuminating the incomplete structure like the most magnificent glass dream.

The swarm of monsters roaring and anxious below were startled by this sudden miracle, their attack stalling, instinctively sensing the approach of catastrophe. They charged frantically, trying to escape the area locked in by the invisible force field, but it was like colliding with transparent amber.

Epona, furious, laughed wildly, her crimson eyes burning with only the desire for destruction, oblivious to the rapidly materializing city of miracles above her. The concentrated energy blades in her hands continued to greedily slice through every living thing within sight, the splattered blood casting a distorted shadow across the still-unfinished base of the sky city.

At this moment of chaos and destruction, the space emitted an unbearable, humming sound like shattered glass!

Om-!

A dazzling light suddenly erupted, drowning everyone's vision. When the glare faded, the center of the battlefield was left with an eerie emptiness. All the monsters, along with the dancing crimson disaster—the brave Epona—had vanished without a trace, leaving only the deep scars of the ravaged earth.

The exhausted knights leaned on their swords in a daze, raised their heads, and were so shocked by the scene before them that they were speechless.

A real city, whose beauty and majesty cannot be described in words, suspended in the sky!

It is no longer an illusory projection.

The huge white stone foundation engraved with ancient runes is as solid as a mountain. The tower rising from it pierces the sky, and the sharp top of the tower sparkles with star-like light.

Countless stacked arcades and terraces form a complex and harmonious structure. Huge stained glass windows are inlaid on the outer walls of the magnificent hall. Even from a long distance, one can seem to feel the surging magic flowing through it.

Sunlight shone on the jade-white walls, reflecting a holy halo that made the blood-stained battlefield below look like a filthy hell. A faint golden barrier, like a giant upside-down bowl, enveloped the entire sky city, isolating it from all the hustle and bustle of the mortal world.

And in the central square of the city in the clouds, the scarlet energy storm exploded again without any scruples!

Epona's figure moved and flashed across the empty jade ground at high speed, leaving behind burning scars as he wantonly slaughtered the hordes of monsters that had nowhere to escape...

Chapter 189: A Wife’s Duties

After all the monsters were annihilated, Epona, who had lost his target, seemed to be even more at a loss as to what to do with the violent power in his body. He could only pour it out madly around. The huge energy impact hit the golden magic barrier, sending out circles of destructive ripples.

Her wild laughter could still be heard faintly from a long distance, filled with the pleasure of destruction and nothingness.

Chen Ming was suspended above the spire of the tallest tower in the Sky City, with the radiance of dozens of magical enhancement spells shining brightly around him, as if he was wearing a battle robe woven from stars.

He looked down at the red storm of destruction in the square below, his eyes as calm as water.

"Then let the trial begin."

The whispers dissipated in the howling high-altitude winds of the sky city.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ming began to cast his first attack magic.

With him as the center, a massive, dome-shaped, three-dimensional magic circle instantly took shape, covering a vast airspace within a ten-kilometer radius! The magic circle was composed of pure magic power, emitting a cool and majestic white glow.

Countless translucent ancient characters and mysterious runes rapidly emerged, flowing, and transforming within the formation. They were not static, but rather, like living creatures, constantly surging through the three-dimensional structure of the formation, forming completely different and complex patterns with every second, dazzling the eyes.

In order to make effective use of time, Chen Ming chanted the spell while taking out a pair of high-tech silver-gray smart glasses from the system space.

Although he planned to have a fair fight with the hero to practice his combat skills, he still had to use the necessary equipment.

The smart glasses can monitor the network through space-based communications, linking to the artificial intelligence [Crimson] in the underground computer center of the Banshan Manor, and assist Chen Ming in combat...

Thinking of this, he put on the smart glasses without hesitation, and the lenses instantly lit up with a faint blue light.

Almost at the same time, a lolita voice with obvious imitation and pretentious coquettishness, with a hint of flattering excitement, sounded directly in Chen Ming's ears:

"Master (^▽^)/~ Crimson has successfully connected! The space-based network is stable, and computing resources are fully utilized! Analyzing the target's movement pattern, Brave Epona'... Building a real-time trajectory prediction model... The battle suggestion module is online! HD recording of the entire trial has been enabled, and all data will be synchronized to the Dungeon Center server, allowing you to conduct in-depth post-battle review and tactical optimization..."

The corner of Chen Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

This super AI [Crimson], which he personally cultivated, after observing his behavioral preferences countless times, decisively "optimized" its interactive image and voice into the loli form he liked.

However, he did not say anything to stop him. After all, now was not the time to worry about these details, and he urgently needed [Crimson]'s efficient assistance.

After putting on the smart glasses, Chen Ming continued to take out several props from the system space.

A pair of huge [Wings of Light] made of pure light energy with a wingspan of more than five meters "swish" spread out behind him. The feathers of light fluttered gently, stirring up the clouds in the sky and giving him unparalleled maneuverability.

He placed the [Glorious Moon Golden Body], radiating a cool, moonlit glow, close to his chest pocket. This would be the final barrier against a fatal blow, granting him 1.5 seconds of absolute invincibility when triggered.

The [Still Pocket Watch] hung around his neck, the cool metal texture pressing against his skin. Once [Glorious Moon Golden Body] was triggered, it would be his second trump card. With the press of a button, time in this world would freeze for 60 minutes.

As for the final life-saving trump card [Rebirth Cross], it will be effective if it is placed in the system space, so there is no need to take it out.

These preparations took quite some time, and by the time they were all done, the spell had just been chanted.

The vast magic circle, covering ten kilometers of sky, suddenly erupted with a blinding blue light! The surging runes within the formation froze in an instant, like a bowstring stretched to its limit! Enormous magical power converged and compressed at the center of the formation, emitting a soul-shaking aura of destruction.

"Then, start it."

Chen Ming took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.

He pointed at the scarlet figure below who was still madly releasing his power!

"Emperor-level single-target attack magic—[Falling Stars]!"

boom--! ! !

It was not the loud noise of a meteorite impact, but the mournful cry of space itself being torn apart and melted!

From the core of the magic circle, a beam of light, so brilliant and blazing it could hardly be described in words, suddenly erupted! As if imbued with life, it shot unstoppably and precisely towards Epona's location!

In an instant, the vision was taken away! The entire interior of the Sky City was completely engulfed by pure white light!

Unimaginable high temperatures were generated and expanded in an instant, greedily devouring all matter within the effective range.

The air ionized amidst the wailing, and the solid marble ground melted like wax, even vaporizing!

This decisive moment probably only lasted for five seconds, but it felt like dozens of times longer.

When the world-destroying white light finally converged and dissipated rapidly like the receding tide, a large circle with completely different internal and external scenery appeared before his eyes.

Since it is a single-target attack magic, the diameter of this large circle is only about one kilometer.

Inside the big circle, an extremely regular hemispherical pit with a diameter of one kilometer appeared, replacing the original magnificent square.

The pit wall is as smooth as a mirror, showing glass-like crystals formed under high temperature and high pressure, refracting faint light and shimmering with a strange beauty.

All the substances in the pit seemed to have been completely "purified", leaving only absolute silence and residual high-temperature steam rising and distorting the air.

Outside the deep pit, other parts of the Sky City suffered very little damage, forming a shocking contrast with the absolute destruction inside the pit.

Chen Ming still stood on the distant spire, his wings of light flapping gently. His sharp gaze penetrated the gradually thinning steam and locked onto the center of the deep pit.

There, stood a figure.

In an area covered by imperial magic that is powerful enough to vaporize everything, there shouldn't be any life left.

However, a hero who possesses thirty S-level and A-level skills has already surpassed the limits of the definition of "human".

Epona's entire body was enveloped in the scorching white smoke that had not yet dissipated. Her clothes had already been turned into nothing by the mighty power of [Falling Stars] and had completely disappeared.

Yet, that beautiful body, subjected to a baptism of intense heat powerful enough to incinerate stars, miraculously remained unscathed! Its skin took on an inhuman, jade-like sheen, as if it had endured not a spell of destruction but a baptism.

White smoke curled up, blurring the outline of her body, but it could not hide her eyes - deep red like solidified lava, filled with the most primitive and violent hostility, and a pure desire to kill.

Of course, she still hadn't regained her sanity, so she didn't care about her naked state at all.

Her gaze penetrated the distance of space, like two red-hot swords, nailing Chen Ming on the top of the tower.

A silent roar stirred crimson waves of air around her, and the crystalline ground beneath her feet cracked under the weight. The beast, thoroughly enraged, had already locked onto its new prey.

……

At the same time, at the Banshan Manor,

The air was as heavy as solidified mercury. The huge surveillance screen occupied the entire wall, clearly showing the fierce battle in the sky city that was beyond the imagination of mortals.

Chen Ming's four companions, Ai Lixi, Alpha, Mei Jia and Mei Mi,

And three little lolita, Taldo, Maho and Tia,

Everyone gathered in front of the screen with bated breath.

Alpha's usually gentle face was now covered with a layer of frost. She slammed the table hard - even without saying it explicitly, this rude action that would never happen under normal circumstances had fully expressed her mood.

The dull sound exploded in the silent room, scaring the three little lolis so much that they all trembled. Even Mejia and Meimi shrank their shoulders in shock.

Taldo looked at her mother worriedly, while Maho and Tia were so frightened that they forgot to blink and their mouths were slightly open.

"Well, could you please explain clearly?"

Alpha fiercely asked Ellish at the other end of the table, "Why did you agree to do such a dangerous thing?"

When someone who is usually gentle and submissive shows strong emotions, it can make people feel more excited because of the huge contrast.

Despite this pointed questioning, Elise maintained her usual smile, but beneath that smile, a subtle tension was hidden.

"This is Ming's decision, right? How can we, as his wives, object to it?"

Her tone was filled with almost blind indulgence.

Mejia and Memi exchanged a worried look and wisely chose to remain silent, but their eyes wandered between Alpha and Elise, nervously watching the developments.

Taldo, Maho and Tia turned their attention back to the screen - in fact, the golden barrier above the Sky City could block the view of the Sky Eye satellite, but in order not to worry the concubines at home, Chen Ming deliberately adjusted the transparency of the golden barrier to make the images taken by the satellite clearer.

Their little faces were full of tension, and their little hands unconsciously twisted the corners of their clothes.

Seeing the worry that was about to overflow on Alpha's face, Ellish continued to explain:

"And Ming seems to have been severely stimulated today..."

Upon hearing this, Alpha showed a confused expression and gestured for Elise to continue.

"Ming used to be so steady and cautious in his dealings with others? So cautious that it was almost... how should I put it," Alisi paused, as if searching for the right words. "Although it might be a bit rude to say this about the man I love, back then, he really was like a child, cautious in an unfamiliar world, afraid to take a wrong step."

"I see!"

A flash of understanding flashed across Alpha's eyes.

She subconsciously glanced at the three little girls cuddling together beside her, and her mind flashed back to the five hundred little maids she had adopted since childhood. Everything seemed to connect. "No wonder the master prefers playing with little girls. It turns out he has such a youthful mentality..."

"You noticed it too, right?"

The corners of Ai Lixi's lips curled up again, a trace of sweetness and understanding, "Hehe, I will never misjudge the true character of the man I love..."

As she spoke, her gaze was once again fixed on Chen Ming's determined profile on the screen, revealing an expression that was a mixture of pride and deep fascination.

But Alpha's anxiety did not subside. She eagerly asked, "So, what on earth has stimulated the master today?"

"Ming told me," Ai Lixi said, her voice clear and steady, without taking her eyes off the screen, "that he just witnessed another real, unreserved duel. It was that battle that made him realize that while he possessed immense strength, he lacked practical experience and skills. Therefore, he needed a true, evenly matched opponent to hone himself..."

She paused slightly, her tone becoming extremely serious. "As Ming's wife, since I know that my beloved man wants to carry out this determination and push his own limits, I will never say anything and become a stumbling block to him. Besides, Ming and I have already agreed," her voice was filled with unquestionable trust, "He will definitely stop the hero and return home safely!"

Alpha listened quietly, his emerald eyes shimmering with intense emotion, which eventually faded into a sigh and a nod of understanding. However, his love for his master immediately took over, and he continued:

"I understand your perspective, but... it's still too naive and lacks rationality. This is simply an emotional judgment. The Master is the faith and support of all of us. When we know his life is in danger, it is our duty to find a way to eliminate that danger. Even if it means being scolded later, even if it means sacrificing our own lives, we should step forward and act!"

Before he finished speaking, Alpha stood up with a "whoosh", emitting a cold aura.

"Where are you going?" Ellys' voice was quite calm.

Alpha turned around abruptly, a fierce look flashing in his eyes. "Need I ask? Of course, I'll ask Crimson to find the two parties who provoked the Master and completely 'deal' with them! This way, they won't provoke the Master again in the next duel and cause the Master to do something life-threatening..."

"Alpha, I agree with your idea, but we can't act on our own. Any decision that may affect Ming's will or interfere with his path must first be approved by him! This is the bottom line!"

After a pause, Ai Lixi looked at Chen Ming on the surveillance screen with full trust and smiled brightly: "Ming will definitely return safely. Let us wait and see how he can overcome danger and win the victory!"
