My wife is the stand-in.

Everyone saw the various weapons floating in the sky.

When Icarus enters the "Sky Queen" mode, all her heavy weaponry is fully manifested. Dozens of air-to-air missiles are clustered together like pine needles. Behind the angel, a colossal, sky-covering warship phantom looms in the sky.

The other parts of the warship were not clearly visible; only the cannon muzzles broke through the illusion and stepped into reality as Icarus pushed his hand.

Icarus's strongest weapon at present is the Hephaistos, a powerful air combat weapon capable of destroying warships in a single shot.

"Run!"

Now, no one would think Amanosaki was joking or scamming.

Everyone scrambled to escape, and in less than five minutes, the entire construction site was deserted.

"Fortunately, the building isn't very tall." Amanosaki glanced at the six-story building and raised his hand.

Icarus nodded and moved the ship's gun vertically downwards.

Even in the anime "Heaven's Lost Property," which is filled with all sorts of angels, Icarus is still the foremost among them. The reason for this lies in the current mode she exists in.

【Sky Queen】Mode.

When Icarus enters this mode, he not only gains the authority to suppress other angels, the ability to wage war, and the ability to calculate, but also possesses many weapons specifically designed to counter angels.

Those clustered air-to-air missiles represent a massive stockpile of weapons in a conventional arsenal.

However, as long as there are enough of them, it's fine to use anti-aircraft missiles to bombard the ground.

"ignition."

Amidst the crackling sounds of ignition, air-to-air missiles targeted and bombed the construction site, blasting over everything obstructing the surface and revealing the damp earth.

The halo flashed several times, and then fired energy cannons at the ship's guns.

Without a sound, a vast light seemed to rise as if a second sun had ascended.

Amanosaki closed his eyes and covered his eyelids with his hands, but the bright light still shone through his fingers.

He didn't feel any vibration; the light cannon seemed to exist only in his vision.

However, Amanosaki did see tangible results.

A deep hole nearly eight meters in diameter is right in front of us, with bubbling lava bubbling around the edge, which cools rapidly into a black, cracked shell upon contact with air.

Ignoring the heat, Amanosaki craned his neck to look and saw that the optical fiber and metal pipes had been neatly cut open, with molten metal flowing from the edges.

The entire construction site resembled a piece of cheese, from which a slice had just been cut away with a hot knife.

The whole process was understated, without any unnecessary noise or explosions, just like a mother cooking in the kitchen day after day, quick and efficient.

The sewer, whose bottom concrete pipes had been blasted open by the light cannon, wiped away sweat, put two gems in its mouth, and with a burst of energy, jumped down.

Icarus folded its wings and caught up at an even faster speed, embracing the falling Amanosaki. It exhaled cold air from its wings, pushing away the surrounding heat.

-------------------------------------

"Such a big, living person! He just blew up a construction site! And you lost track of him!?"

The heavy document slammed down on the swordsman's head. The swordsman, struck by the document, dared not breathe, and simply lowered his head, desperately trying to hide himself in his cloak.

A burly man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a face full of fat stood behind the table, constantly clenching and unclenching his fists.

"We can't blame them for this. We didn't expect that the bastards from the Yushan branch would dare to openly bombard Fengdu City. We can only say that young calves are not afraid of tigers. We underestimated them this time."

A withered figure sat in a chair and said in a weak voice, "You've all worked hard, you can all go now."

Once the chivalrous heroes, feeling as if they had been granted a pardon, left the room, the withered man finally couldn't hold back his coughing and said between coughs:

"In the end, we made a mistake and allowed the Yushan branch to take advantage of the situation. What Amanosaki did cannot be kept secret any longer, and the government will definitely report it to the capital."

The man nodded in agreement.

"Even the toughest man becomes a woman when someone grabs his balls. We've been groped by that kid... except for the ones on the ground."

"Hey!" The withered man raised his hand to signal the other to shut up. He coughed for a while before slowly saying:

"The reason why the Fengdu government spared no expense to get the sewer system to be implemented here was because all the legends in Fengdu Province are related to the underground. We have many heroes who can only unleash their full power in underground terrain. Therefore, after the project was implemented, the Fengdu government named it 'Broken Ground'."

"Liu on duty." The withered man stared at the other person with his bulbous eyes, his gaze chilling.

"It is true that Amanosaki is a rising star that the Yushan branch is promoting, but only living geniuses are worth investigating and protecting; dead people are not worth the trouble."

"This matter is not something that can be handled by others. I would be grateful if you could make the trip yourself."

Upon hearing this, the burly man named Liu Nu fell silent for a moment.

"You know my special ability is called [Ten Kings of Hell], right?"

"Yes, cough cough! Otherwise, how could I be so sure that with you alone taking action, everything would be foolproof?"

"I hope you can withstand the loss."

After saying this, Liu Nu picked up the trench coat on the table and covered all his explosive muscles.

Also covered up were the lifelike ghost and god tattoos all over his body.

As these tattoos disappeared into the darkness, they began to writhe eerily and slowly, as if they had come to life.

Chapter 89: Nausea

Amanosaki held Icarus's hand as they walked through the dull sewers.

Each feather on Icarus's wings emitted a faint glow, which together formed a three-dimensional light source.

The sewers weren't hot; on the contrary, the temperature was quite low. Amanosaki and his group had been walking for a full two minutes and were already far away from the entrance they had blasted open.

He felt the stuffiness was because the sewer wasn't used during the off-season and was abandoned year-round. The dampness underground saturated the air, and combined with the usual strange smell of all sewers, breathing in it would indeed put a heavy burden on the lungs.

However, having already undergone a medicinal bath, he was no longer "human," so he could survive without a gas mask or respirator. He just had a bitter taste in his mouth and would occasionally gag.

"It will be done in a few more minutes."

Icarus spread his wings to light the way, and didn't forget to care for Amanosaki, "Normal people can't smell anything by now. You can still distinguish scents because your sense of smell is now comparable to that of a dog."

Are you saying I have a dog's nose, and then indirectly calling me a dog?

Amanosaki said sullenly, spitting out phlegm as he spoke. This phlegm is automatically secreted by the bronchi after being stimulated, thus isolating them from any irritating or toxic gases.

“You said it yourself.” Icarus brushed a strand of hair behind his ear and gave a triumphant smile.

The date with Amanosaki seemed to have unlocked her potential, fully reviving her "ideal type" consciousness, which overshadowed the naturally naive Icarus. Her speech and expressions became more varied, and she even started to act childish.

'But occasionally she still reverts to her old ways, turning into a silent goofball... uh, I mean, a beautiful girl.' Seeing Ikaros's dangerous look, Amanosaki quickly corrected the thought in his mind.

"Humph."

Icarus gave a coquettish laugh and continued to act as a third wheel.

The sewers fell silent for a moment, with only the occasional kicked-up piece of trash disturbing the rats that had made their home there, attracting a swarm of green eyes and squeaking sounds.

When Amanosaki walked past with his left hand holding the crystal, what remained on the ground were the neatly arranged corpses of his entire family.

"I can say that I have made an outstanding contribution to the eradication of the four pests in Fengdu City," Amanosaki said while building up his magic reserves for the upcoming battle.

After walking for about five more minutes, they finally reached the end. Amanosaki threw out a quartz crystal infused with magic. The quartz crystal glowed and fell, revealing its massive and complex structure to the two of them.

This is a vertical shaft about 80 meters deep and 50 meters in diameter. There are dozens of smaller channels, smaller than the concrete pipes where Amanosaki is located, leading to this place. Some are dry, while others are continuously gushing out sewage with countless bubbles.

The shaft contains countless encapsulated metal pipes coated with anti-corrosion paint, which extend outwards like a spider web.

Icarus glanced at it and spoke rapidly:

"These are all rainwater pipes. After initial settling, there should be a connection to other vertical shafts below. The current purpose here is for wastewater transfer."

"When heavy rains occur and Fengdu is affected by the flooding of the Yangtze River, these dried-up pipes will quickly be filled with the massive rainfall from the surface, and the rainwater will collect here and in other places. At that time, taking advantage of the properties of water, most of the rainwater will be transported through the pipes we are in to the deep storage wells to achieve the purpose of flood prevention."

Looking at the dimly lit shaft, listening to the sparse sounds of water and Icarus's explanation, Amanosaki couldn't help but imagine the magnificent scene of all the pipes roaring and gushing out, like a vast wave of water vapor imprisoning a giant dragon, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"This is the power of humankind."

Standing beside the pipes, Amanosaki exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Countless beings as insignificant as myself have been able to create such structures that change the terrain and local climate. Humanity is truly amazing."

"Pay attention."

Icarus casually shattered Amanosaki's sentimentality, "This world is not Earth; there is no people's view of history here. What prevails here is the view of history as a hero. The greatest contributor to this project is not the people, but the foundation laid by several branch-level heroes."

"How do you know that this engineering hero is the biggest contributor?" Amanosaki looked at Icarus in surprise.

Icarus shrugged, picked up Amanosaki, and flew into the shaft: "You saw this news before, you just forgot, but your subconscious remembers, so I remember."

"Have it?"

“Of course, I also know the name of this sewer project.” Icarus led Amanosaki down, opened an unlocked metal gate, and crawled into an unusually narrow passage that could only accommodate three people walking side by side.

This is the maintenance access area.

In the long, deep, damp, and slippery inspection tunnel, which resembled the intestines of some kind of creature, Icarus's voice was ethereal and melodious.

"It is called 'Wujiandi' (无间地), which is taken from the name of the Avici Hell."

Her voice echoed through the pattering water and the shaft, becoming eerie instead.

Amanosaki and Icarus continued their conversation, and after several rounds of questioning, Amanosaki realized that he was indeed less sensible than Icarus, and couldn't help but sigh at how old people really are.

While they were talking, they had already passed through three shafts and gone down one more floor.

Water flows downhill. In order to save electricity for the sewage system that purifies the wastewater of millions of people, the entire purification system of Wujiandi follows the mechanism that the later the process is, the deeper it is underground.

Therefore, based on Icarus's detection of the river's water conditions, she determined that the Queen Fish would be located near the lowest layer of the Abyss.

Along the way, the two brushed past the knights of Fengdu several times, but each time they avoided conflict by hiding in advance thanks to the omnipotent war angel's detection ability.

Their smooth journey down the sewers took a turn when they arrived at a deep well.

"vomit!"

Amanosaki's well-tested nose finally caught the smell again, causing him to vomit.

"What the hell is this smell?! Isn't it supposed to get cleaner the further down you go?" Amanosaki's face turned green.

Icarus seemed much more at ease amidst the stench, or perhaps she simply lacked a sense of taste in the human sense, so even the most disgusting things didn't affect her.

“It’s the smell of rotting corpses,” she said. “Right down in the shaft.”

Icarus peeked out for two seconds, then solemnly withdrew and closed his eyes.

Then, the image that Icarus had imagined also appeared in Amanosaki's mind.
