Chapter 582 Ambush at the River Styx
The night was past midnight.

Lena, who had been abandoned, ran off alone to find the Super Soldier Squad.

Compared to acting with that old vixen Angel Yan, she preferred playing with the Super Soldier Squad.

"Is this the place?"

Lena landed in a jungle, her combat boots splashing muddy ground and raising a cloud of dirty water.

She looked around.

This place should have been a drug dealer's outpost, but now only burning remains and shell casings scattered all over the ground remain.

"Rose? Qilin? Mission complete..."

Before she finished speaking, seven figures slowly emerged from the shadows of the jungle.

“You guys…” Lena was taken aback.

"team leader."

Du Qiangwei led her team to greet them.

She held two short knives in reverse grip, the dark red bloodstains on the blades still congealed, dripping onto her dusty military boots.

That signature red hair was now stained even more crimson with blood, and a few strands clung to her cold and beautiful face, which was covered in filth, adding to her chilling and murderous aura.

"Fuck..."

Lena looked around and saw that the others were not much different.

Liu Chuang's armor and the great axe in his hand were covered in blood and bits of flesh, and his face, which wore a carefree smile, exuded a murderous aura.

The youngest, Rui Mengmeng, still has that adorable, innocent look, clutching a rune-inscribed greatsword.

She seemed unaffected by the life she had ended with her own hands; her large eyes remained clear. When she noticed Lena's gaze, she immediately gave a military salute.
"team leader!"

"vomit--!!"

Ge Xiaolun, who was at the back of the line, wanted to say something as well.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, the thick, fishy stench filled his throat, and he abruptly pushed away Zhao Xin, who was supporting him, lunged behind a tree, bent over, and began to gag violently.

The stomach was empty; all that could be vomited was sour, bitter liquid and gastric juices.

Zhao Xin was alright, but his face was a little pale.

Of all these people, the only one who was relatively clean was Qi Lin. As a sniper, she was the only one allowed to use long-range weapons.

Although she witnessed many bloody scenes, as a police officer, and given the infuriating behavior of the drug dealers she observed while holding her gun, she didn't feel too much psychological burden.

As for Cheng Yaowen...

This unshaven man had witnessed firsthand the fall of stars, the collapse of the earth, and the destruction of kingdoms.

"you……"

Lena opened her mouth.

She waved her hand across the seven people.

"Fuck-"

The disgusting flesh and filth on the armor were purified in the flames.

"Are you... okay?"

Du Qiangwei shook her head, flicking off a few drops of blood: "As per the instructor's orders, all personnel at the designated target points one, two, and three have been successfully eliminated. No civilian casualties have been confirmed. The remaining seven target points are awaiting clearing."

Lena's lips twitched violently.

Is he addicted to killing?
"Captain—!"

Zhao Xin suddenly let out a wolf howl and rushed over with snot and tears streaming down his face, only to be disdainfully blocked by Lena's energy barrier.

Zhao Xin, however, clung to her leg relentlessly, his eyes brimming with tears: "I was wrong! Suddenly, I realize how good you were to us before!"

"I was wrong before! I couldn't say anything nice! Waaah... Compared to Instructor Mo, you're like our own mother!!"

Lena's lips twitched, but seeing his genuine emotion, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

It can only be said that people can appreciate the happiness they once had by making comparisons.

If what Lena used before was the training method for reserves in peacetime, then what Mo Yu used was the method for quickly training elites in wartime!

Unlike Lena, who grew up in a sheltered environment and was an academic, Mo Yu was a real fighter who led a rebel army made up of peasants from the White Lotus Sect all the way from Jiangnan to the capital's palace!
He had actually witnessed, and even personally ordered, the horrific scene of millions of corpses, rivers of blood, ruins of white bones, and the world draped in mourning!
In his view, tonight's bandit suppression was already an extremely gentle and restrained beginner's lesson.

If it weren't for concerns about the lingering genetic influence of the previous generation of supergenes having a significant impact on them, and the possibility that if things went wrong, it might be too late to cultivate the next generation of supergenes...

Mo Yu, one of the heroes, even felt that the pressure he was putting on them was still too low.

Looking at how he used the "Great Waves Wash Away Sand" technique in the White Lotus Sect, it's easy to see that he can be truly ruthless when he gets cold-blooded.

However, his method was indeed effective.

At least, the elite soldiers who have seen blood, like swords tempered and sharpened, have begun to show some sharpness.

"team leader."

Qi Lin put away her sniper rifle, walked up to Lena, and looked around. "Where's the instructor? Didn't he come with you?"

"he?"

The mere mention of Mo Yu instantly ignited Lena's anger. She pursed her lips and said sarcastically, "That person is probably having a great time right now!"

"He was completely captivated by those angels in short skirts, showing off their legs. Now he's on a date with those three ancient beauties who must have lived for thousands of years!"

Qi Lin paused for a moment, about to say something.

Liu Chuang squeezed through the crowd behind her: "Huh? I've just figured out a bit of the trick and was hoping to get some pointers from him! The instructor's gone, who am I supposed to turn to?"

"what happened?"

Du Qiangwei, who was about to board the helicopter, turned back upon hearing this, her face even colder than before.

Lena looked at her with surprise: "It's understandable that Qilin cares about that guy, after all, they're old acquaintances. But why are you so concerned about him, Qiangwei?"

"I……"

Du Qiangwei was speechless for a moment when asked the question.

She didn't know why herself, so she could only subconsciously make up an excuse: "I... my dad told me before about his importance to China. Besides... according to his teachings, I really feel that I am much stronger now than I was half a day ago."

"I see." Lena nodded, not giving it much thought.

Qi Lin glanced at Du Qiangwei and noticed the fleeting panic in her eyes.

But she couldn't worry about that. She stepped forward and looked at Lena seriously: "Captain, what's wrong with the instructor?"

Seeing her like this, Lena didn't dare to continue fueling Mo Yu's fire and explained:

"It is said that angels on Earth once sealed away a powerful Styx beast."

"Isn't Earth now being targeted by the Styx? To prevent that thing from exploding in the future, he's following those three angels, trying to remove that thorn in our side beforehand."
-
Africa, desert.

The moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed, and the boundless sea of ​​sand shimmered with a cold, silvery light in the night.

Four figures silently floated in mid-air, looking down at a large pyramid below.

"These are the coordinates."

Angel Chase hovered beside Yan. She looked down at the magnificent building below and sighed, "Two thousand years ago, I blasted this place into a basin with my Heavenly Blade Judgment. I never imagined... it would be built like this now."

"Pyramids... Pharaohs... the undead are rising..."

Angel Yan's eyes gleamed with silver light as a massive stream of data flashed across her retina.

She was rapidly reading data on local civilization spanning thousands of years.

"Ah, the civilization in this region is clearly deeply influenced by Karl's concept of death."

She crossed her arms, turned her head, and looked at Mo Yu beside her with a half-smile.

"You little blue planet are really well-liked."

She counted on her fair fingers, "Angels, Sun, Styx, Denor, Super God Academy... Tsk tsk, all of these giants, the most famous in the known universe, have visited this place."

Mo Yu, one of the heroes, merely glanced at her indifferently, too lazy to pay her any attention.

Although Angel Yan was still somewhat timid towards him after sleeping with him once, her inherent arrogance was ultimately hard to shake off.

Especially when facing Shenzhou, a tiny pre-nuclear civilization that she considered merely an interesting little place.

Ignoring the mortal guards, the four flew straight into the interior of the pyramid.

The interior of the pyramid is unusually simple, with only one straight passageway.

Continuing downwards, we soon arrived at the very bottom of the pyramid.

This is a spacious underground cavity.

With a sweep of his divine sense, Mo Yu quickly sensed the location of the seal.

At the same time, Angel Chase also activated the Eye of Insight.

After a moment, she frowned in confusion: "Strange... The location of the seal core is correct. But the seal structure is completely different from what I originally designed! It has been modified!"

Angel Yan also came up and placed her hand on the stone wall.

As a member of her Skyblade No. 7 team, they shared a database.

A stream of data flashed before her eyes, and she quickly learned what had happened.

"Ah."

Angel Yan shook her head, giving him a look that said, "You're too naive. Those guys in the Styx Galaxy are the best at talking nonsense."

"Back then, Snow of the Styx advised you not to completely erase the dark data of this giant crocodile, saying that it didn't deserve to die and should be sealed instead. He even hypocritically said that the right to release it was up to you. This was clearly just to fool you."

The angel looked at the seal before him, which had been completely altered and encrypted by the River Styx, and lowered his head in shame.

"...Yes, Sister Yan. It was my carelessness."

Her voice was filled with regret, "I shouldn't have believed their sweet talk, and I shouldn't have agreed to their joint seal, giving him the opportunity... to tamper with it." "Alright."

Angel Yan patted her shoulder, but didn't really scold her. "Just remember that next time. If you see the Styx people again, don't listen to their nonsense."

"Yes!" Angel Chase nodded vigorously.

Angel Yan then turned around and looked at Mo Yu, who was standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly lost in thought.

"What are you going to do now?"

She raised an eyebrow. "The Styx's encryption methods are not bad. Even I would need some time to calculate before I can break this seal."

Why break the seal?

Mo Yu, the chivalrous hero who seemed to be lost in thought, gave her a strange look.

"what?"

Angel Yan was stunned. "No...no, you said you wanted to remove this nail from the River Styx beforehand? How can we kill it if we don't get it out?"

"..."

The chivalrous Mo Yu looked at the seven-thousand-year-old angel warrior in front of him, who was so innocent as to be almost excessive.

In his eyes, Angel Yan and Angel Zhui were pretty much the same; neither of them liked to use their brains much.

At most, Angel Yan is just a little stronger personally, and most of the time she gets into trouble and has to clean up her own mess.

"Ugh……"

Mo Yu, one of the heroes, shook his head, feeling exhausted for Keisha once again: "No wonder your queen made you study martial arts."

"It seems I was wrong before. The influence of genes may not be something that can be compensated for and adapted to simply by spending a long time..."

Angel Yan snorted in dissatisfaction: "Considering you're young and don't know any better, I'll let it go this time!"

Looking at her like this, and then at the two equally naive and innocent angels behind her, Zhui and Moyi, the chivalrous Mo Yu fell into deep thought.

"how?"

Angel Yan felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, but being the playful girl she was, she took the initiative to move closer. "Are you captivated by my charm? Have you finally realized your shallowness and the beauty of us angels?"

She lowered her voice, pretending to be serious, and nudged him with her elbow: "Hey, look at you, so clueless... do you want me to give you a hand?"

"Both Zhui and Mo Yi are still single, and neither of them has taken the 'Guardian Oath' yet. Which one do you fancy? Tell me, and I'll help you set them up. I guarantee it will work!"

"Sister Yan!!"

"Sister Yan, what nonsense are you spouting now!"

The angels behind her, Zhui and Moyi, blushed instantly, feeling both ashamed and angry. They rushed forward and grabbed Angel Yan's arms on either side, pulling her away from Moyu.

When Yan gets cheeky, her teasing and flirting don't discriminate between friend and foe.

"Slow-witted...naive...simple..."

Looking at the three angel sisters, Mo Yu, a chivalrous figure, became increasingly certain of his guess.

'I knew it…'

He murmured to himself, 'How exactly does pure genetic technology achieve such a long lifespan?'

Even if the physical body could achieve near-immortality, the mind of a normal intelligent being simply could not withstand the passage of thousands, or even tens of thousands, of years, and the immense erosion of information and emotions accumulated during that time.

The final result is either actively seeking death in endless emptiness, or completely going insane due to emotional collapse.

'so……'

The gaze of the group of heroes, Mo Yu, fell on Angel Yan, who was joking and playing with her subordinates.

'They were intentionally designed to be this way...'

'Only by being sufficiently oblivious, sufficiently simple-minded, and not burdened by too many complexities in their minds, can they survive relatively healthily for thousands or tens of thousands of years while retaining their self-awareness.'

Although this was merely his conjecture, lacking direct evidence to support it, he was already basically certain of this fact in his mind.

Instead of following his male instincts, he watched the three beautiful angels playfully fighting.

The hero Mo Yu remained calm and casually took out a series of materials and a set of array flags that swelled in the wind from his storage bag.

He made hand gestures and chanted incantations.

"Edict!"

The eight battle flags transformed into streams of light and were struck into the surrounding walls, disappearing from sight.

Immediately, Mo Yu, one of the heroes, took out a palm-sized array plate.

He placed the spiritual materials in front of him on the array plate, and ignited a wisp of true fire at his fingertips to melt them.

Guided by the array plate, the liquefied material began to evolve into a mysterious and profound array phantom.

His seemingly divine actions were not concealed from the three angels beside him.

"This is……"

They sensed the emergence of this advanced energy, which did not exist in the known cosmic database and was completely different from martial arts true qi.

Angel Yan, who was playing around with her two sisters, immediately stopped her playful mood and came over. Her long golden hair almost reached Mo Yu's shoulder.

She carefully observed Mo Yu's every move, using her Eye of Insight to analyze the composition of the spiritual materials and the changes in the energy field that was being "rewritten" in this space.

'This guy's got quite a lot on him.'

She was just about to extract a wisp of this peculiar energy for analysis—

"Snapped!"

A crystal-clear jade head, the size of a pebble and emitting a soft white light, came flying at Yan, who held it firmly in his hand.

Without even looking up, Mo Yu, one of the heroes, said in a calm voice, "Don't interfere with my formation. You can study this spirit stone."

"..."

Angel Yan, who was about to steal some energy, froze and awkwardly withdrew her hand.

She showed no shame at being caught red-handed. Instead, she smiled at Mo Yu and tossed the spirit stone in her hand: "This is the spiritual power that's often mentioned in your fantasy novels? In your world, there aren't really any immortals, are there?"

"It should exist, but I haven't seen it yet."

The image of the little Taoist GM who was squatting on Wudang Mountain and dared not go out flashed through the mind of Qunxia Moyu.

It seems he promised that pretty good-for-nothing Nanxian that he would bring her along next time he visits another Heavenly Book world.

He shook his head, formed a hand seal, and forcefully pressed the activated array plate into the ground.

"Om-!"

The great formation, like a net, emitted a dazzling spiritual light and was connected to the Styx seal.

The heroes covered the earth with their ink and jade, restoring peace to the underground cavity once more.

"What are you..."

Angel Yan glanced around at the now-silent formation. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, even she wouldn't have been able to detect the anomaly here.

"Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump? Planning to trap and kill the people from the Styx who came to unseal this giant crocodile?"

She stroked her chin: "Although your formation is well concealed, if they use methods like the Eye of Insight to directly access the hidden data here, then your formation... no matter how well concealed, will not be able to hide it."

Mo Yu, one of the heroes, turned around and looked at her with eyes that seemed to look like she was a fool.

Angel Yan felt inexplicably guilty under his gaze, but she quickly realized what he meant!
Reading dark data?!

She instantly recalled her past experiences of being locked in a dark room and brutally ravaged by a prehistoric great white shark.

The trap he set up was not just this hidden formation!

The real trap is the 'past' he himself left behind!
If anyone tries to read the dark data here... they will end up like I did back then, crashing headfirst into the dark arena he set up!

This grand formation might not necessarily kill anyone.

But anyone who tries to probe his dark data will definitely die!
Do you really think that a single certificate can't anchor 'death'? It was just that Mo Yu at the time didn't want to confront the Holy Keisha, so she let Yan go.

"..."

Angel Yan's expression turned somewhat awkward, and she also seemed a little scared.

"Alright, this area is now set up."

Mo Yu, the chivalrous hero, shook his head, ignoring the ungrateful female angel, and turned to fly upwards towards the passageway. "It's about time, time to move on to the next place."

He felt that dealing with these mindless "gods" was even more mentally exhausting than fighting wits with those old schemers in the Central Plains.

When you spar with a master, you can at least anticipate their thought process.

But when it comes to these naive and innocent girls... you never know what stupid thing they'll do next...

“I have a feeling… that you’re thinking something very impolite again?” Angel Yan followed beside him, her gaze deep and unsettling.

"..."

Mo Yu, the hero, immediately sped up, without saying anything.

Angel Yan flapped her wings and easily caught up.

With her magnanimous nature, she didn't pay attention to Mo Yu's inner thoughts, but asked curiously, "Looking in this direction... it seems like we're heading back to Shenzhou?"

"What? Is there some kind of seal or backup plan left by the River Styx within your own territory?"

"It's not the River Styx." The voice of the hero Mo Yu came faintly from ahead.

"It's a demon."

"!"

Angel Yan, along with Angel Zhui and Angel Moyi who followed closely behind, were all startled!
Morgana?!

Angel Yan's smile vanished completely, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

She hadn't forgotten that she also had another, and most important, task on her shoulders!
— Track down the whereabouts of the Demon Queen Morgana!
