My wife is the stand-in.

For a moment, the Taoist felt that he could no longer see through the woman in front of him. Clearly, when they met last time, she did not give him the illusion that she could pose a threat to his life.

So she took a deep breath of the negative energy that filled her body, and her whole body, like tentacles, hardened and stabbed out!

An invisible energy field expanded, and the outstretched tentacles were suppressed by a tremendous force, rolled back and pressed against the crystal pillar.

Absolute Defense Circle II, an evolution of the Absolute Defense Circle, theoretically capable of withstanding all attacks.

Icarus, her face devoid of emotion, raised a finger downwards.

"These are your shackles."

Two or three cards flew out from Icarus's chest. After Synapse projected immense power, the nearly shattered crystal pillar extended into a cross with a roar, growing countless barbs that firmly locked onto the Taoist.

As expected of the villain who could devise a scheme to undermine the regime, the giant crystal pillar, blessed by the omnipotent card, shook violently with a shriek, its barbs breaking off, and its body swelled with resentment and malice.

The physical characteristics of the experimental subjects he had previously ingested were revealed on his swollen body.

He fully awakened all his power, and the terrifying ability made even the air tremble.

This power alerted Icarus; her eyes switched to a dangerous red, and ionization swirled around her.

Uranus System Expansion

The air was quickly expelled, the raging wind bent the low trees, and the drone swayed.

Awe-inspiring, massive shadows of void warships emerged, clinging tightly to the clouds.

This warship can be seen as the embodiment of the Icarus War.

The warship's six cannons, each loaded with a giant crystal, pierced through the illusion and stepped into reality. The four cannons on the left and right sides began to charge, converging towards the cannon in the upper middle section, and then flowing into the launcher below, which was surrounded by five giant cannons.

The Taoist priest's hair stood on end.

To die!

He conjured up wings of various colors, then turned and ran away.

"I have said it before, above the sky, I am invincible."

Icarus's wings transformed into enormous wings of light, connecting reality and virtuality, and taking over the Uranus system.

Permanent Tail-Piercing Air-to-Air Missile II - Full Launch

This is Lin Shuyu's trump card. Among all the stand-ins, only Icarus is qualified to guarantee that he will definitely defeat Zile Daoren in a certain field.

That was aerial combat.

The final use of the grand magic array was to help the Taoist break free from the bathhouse that bound him, giving him one last illusion that 'destiny is in my hands'.

Lin Shuyu prepared several plans for this purpose.

A barrage of surface-to-air missiles, comparable to the combined fire of two army groups' artillery, was launched from the Uranus system without warning, its dense exhaust plumes even illuminating the sky.

Missiles caught up with the Taoist priest one after another and exploded close to him.

The insect's delicate, translucent wings were burned away by the flames, followed by bat-like membranous wings, leaving only the bird feathers covered by a cuticle still fluttering.

But as four or five universal cards caught up with him, his location was teleported back to the cross-shaped crystal rack.

The "Master Card" requires someone to make a wish to be granted, and it also requires spending some of your popularity.

Unfortunately, Amanosaki had already recovered his strength with the omnipotent card and was standing by the hole in the bathhouse, leaning on the Spear of Longinus, making wishes one by one, which restricted his movement.

The public's spectating provided him with a continuous stream of fame, so the slight cost was negligible.

Amidst the explosions that resembled fireworks, the Taoist priest's body was repeatedly blown apart, but the immortal body he had painstakingly researched stubbornly refused to die and was reborn at lightning speed.

Each time, his appearance changes drastically, with different biological tissues emerging to reveal his past sins.

hum~

Amidst a heart-stopping, earth-shattering tremor, the transmitter crystal lit up.

The drones swerved aside one by one, creating a firing line for Icarus.

"Sentenced!"

When she speaks, the world falls silent; even the four-clawed fish struggling in the river grovel before her tyranny.

"Sinners are self-righteous, despise life, and commit the arrogance of original sin."

"I am God! I alone judge others!"

“To abuse living beings, to rape countless men and women, is to commit the sin of lust, which is the original sin.”

"You have no right to judge me!"

"To kill colleagues and partners, to be betrayed by all, and to commit the original sin of jealousy."

"I am immortal and indestructible, you cannot kill me! You await eternal revenge!"

"Gluttony, which is the sin of consuming countless things, is the original sin."

"I...I have discovered immortality! Whoever helps me, I will grant them eternal life!"

“Resentment towards society, the rage that commits original sin.”

"I will help him eliminate all enemies, destroy enemy nations! Who will help me!??"

"Greed for the abilities of others is an endless pursuit, a sin of original sin."

Icarus's voice carried an awe-inspiring divine power:

"Sentence, death!"

"No, no, no, no!" The Taoist shook his head frantically, blood flowing from his mouth and eyes. He struggled madly, his bones piercing his skin, trying to break his hands and body to escape.

But his powerful recovery ability pulled him back from the brink.

"Please, have mercy! Save me!" he cried out.

Icarus positioned his hands as if drawing a bow and arrow, causing all the onlookers' hearts to clench.

A concentrated, bright yellow, pure, and vast energy arrow formed above her head.

Ultimate Weapon Apollo

A weapon capable of destroying a small country, the strongest weapon bestowed upon the Sky Queen, the ultimate war king, the pinnacle of destructive power that humanity has never been able to reach before.

Icarus released his grip, and the energy arrow slowly flew out, its rotten egg-like smell wafting across the river for hundreds of kilometers around.

That's the smell of ozone from ionized air.

All the eyewitnesses then realized that their location was vulnerable to the energy arrow landing.

Must die.

The energy arrow floated lightly around the irrational Zile Daoist once, and as the roaring, ever-rising cross-shaped crystal frame took off, it touched Zile Daoist's body in the almost invisible sky.

I can't hear anything, I can't see anything, and I can't smell anything.

The strongest light obscured everything.

The strongest killing intent suppressed the sense of smell.

The loudest noise can cause temporary hearing loss.

The light lasted for a full two minutes. Two minutes later, sunlight from 8 minutes and 20 seconds earlier pierced through the atmosphereless Hongdu River basin, bringing intense temperatures and rays.

The all-powerful card flew out like crazy, and in an instant, the atmospheric hole that could have caused a major disaster was filled.

All the witnesses and spectators stared in disbelief at that beautiful figure, captivated by both her beauty and the violence.

Tropical cyclones and the supernatural abilities of the kingfish vanished before absolute violence.

It is bright.

Pale-faced and unsteady on his feet, Amanosaki silently picked up his spear and strolled slowly along the riverbank with a winged card in hand.

Until he reached the water's edge, amidst the carcasses of four-clawed fish and the red-stained pebble beach, he slammed his large gun into the ground.

"Come out, I have already made a wish that you must die."

A tentacle resembling intestines emerged from the entrails of a scaled fish that had been reduced to only half its body.

Whether it was the madness or despair of the Taoist priest, it was all for Amanosaki and Icarus to see. He, a man who had lived for over a hundred years, valued life more than anything else.

In front of the bathhouse, or more precisely, in the underground cave, he secretly planted a backup plan inside the belly of the four-clawed scale fish that the King Fish had sent to negotiate.

There were about ten more of the same backup plans, but Amanosaki has now firmly killed them all.

This was his last life.

It struggled to conjure a mouth:

"It's negotiable. I have a lot of money, and I have concrete information about a mole within the government..."

"Spare me, give me, give me a chance..."

Amanosaki forced a weak smile:

"Give my regards to those suffering souls waiting for you at the Bridge of Helplessness; they've been waiting for their revenge for a long time."

The spear fell, pinning the tentacle to the ground.

There are no more Taoists in this world.

Amanosaki, who had drained all his magic power from the magic circle and Icarus, and even consumed nearly half of his life force, finally let out a long breath, collapsed among the shattered corpses, and passed out.

Chapter 244: The Wedding (The Finale)

White and gray pigeons cooed as they strolled across the stone-paved square, tilting their heads and looking with disdain at the drones that hovered in the air, begging for food from people.

Several children were playing around in the not-so-wide square, pulling on thornless roses, which startled a flurry of flapping wings.

Mothers gently scolded their children, while elderly people sat by the pool in the center of the square, crumbling bread and scattering it around.

The men stood under the colonnades at the edge of the square, some nervously tugging at their suit cuffs and collars, sizing each other up. They joked and cursed, but secretly they were competing with each other, their backs straighter than the last, trying their best to appear energetic.

Although they mostly acted as knights-errant, they wore loose clothing that allowed for vigorous exercise.

But isn't this the wedding of the great hero that everyone admires?

As colleagues who have worked together for a long time, they cannot afford to embarrass others.

Among them, Zeng Aman, whose face was adorned with ancient-shaped tattoos, held a wine glass and asked the person next to her, "Where is Li Junzi? The groom specifically requested him to be the best man, where is he?"
