I manage female characters in all the heavens.

She originally thought that her feelings for Gao Jiyuan wouldn't be too deep.

She was a time traveler who had experienced countless life-and-death situations in too many worlds and had taken countless lives. She should have been used to such things by now.

But at this moment, when she truly felt that the voice that would call to inquire about her well-being in every matter, big or small, had completely disappeared from this world,

She found a dull ache in her chest.

This devilish woman seems to be getting old, becoming more and more soft-hearted, and easily influenced by the beauty of the environment, to the point of becoming sentimental.

This is not good.

But it's not bad either.

The pursuit of beauty and the feeling of loss for one's own kind are human nature. The fact that she can still feel these emotions shows that she is still a person, not some unknown entity.

This sense of belonging will help her integrate into the human community in this world, thus enabling her to go further.

"Academician Liu, we are about to enter the wilderness area. Our flight altitude will increase to 12,000 meters. Please fasten your seatbelts."

The pilot's voice came through the cabin communication system, interrupting her thoughts.

Liu Ting snapped out of her daze, casually tugged at her already fastened seatbelt, and replied, "Received."

Although it is an intelligent fighter jet, theoretically it should be handled by intelligent driving.

However, firstly, this intelligent fighter jet is not advanced enough and has a relatively low level of intelligence; having a human pilot would ensure greater stability.

Secondly, "Liu Ting" is very important, and no one dares to completely hand her over to the intelligent program.

If it weren't for the fact that deploying planetary-level beings could easily alert king-level monsters and create danger, Yao Weiwu would have even considered asking a national planetary-level official to protect her.

However, even without planetary-level fighters, and even though there wasn't enough time to gather enough powerful individuals due to the rush, there were still four War Gods on board to protect "Liu Ting".

These four war gods include one intermediate-level and the other three elementary-level. They are all the war gods available in the Jiangnan Military Region, and they have all been sent to protect "Liu Ting".

The fighter jet began to climb, the clouds outside the window grew closer and closer, and finally the fuselage suddenly felt lighter, breaking through the sea of ​​clouds and entering a clear blue sky.

Sunlight streamed through the porthole into the cabin, casting a bright shadow on her fair face.

She took off her non-prescription glasses, casually put them in the pocket of her white coat, and rubbed her temples.

She may bear some responsibility for Gao Jiyuan's death.

When she discussed electromagnetic railgun technology with Gao Jiyuan, she had already mentioned all the key points she could think of, but since she had not personally participated in the construction and debugging, she could not anticipate all the potential risks.

Especially for high-energy weapons like the electromagnetic railgun, even if all the problems have been solved in theory, various unexpected accidents may occur during actual implementation—material defects, assembly errors, software bugs, operational mistakes, etc.

These factors are insignificant on their own, but when combined under certain specific conditions, they can cause a major disaster.

She had previously thought that as long as she provided the core technologies and key parameters to Gao Jiyuan, his decades of engineering experience should be enough to avoid most of the risks.

But she underestimated one thing: Gao Jiyuan was too hasty.

Gao Jiyuan was too eager to succeed and too eager to give the country and the people an explanation.

Perhaps it was this eagerness that led him to rush into the test launch before completing all safety verifications, even though he knew there might be risks.

This possibility is not zero, and it is also what makes her feel uncomfortable.

Whether it's for Gao Jiyuan's innocence or for her own peace of mind, she must find out the truth and bring everything to a head.

Liu Ting closed her eyes, leaned back in her seat, and kept replaying the information she had just heard on the phone in her mind.

The shell did not fire according to the program settings. Is it a program problem or a structural error?

Is the uncontrolled accumulation of electrical energy in the transmitter due to a malfunction in the energy module or an error in the transmission path?

The massive and violent electrical energy should have been confined within the electromagnetic coil, so why did it break through the confinement and melt the shell, the barrel, and even the cannon body, thus causing an out-of-control explosion?

These fragmented pieces of information raced through her mind, combining, disassembling, and reassembling them, constantly deducing possible causes of the accident.

She needs to build a model as complete as possible so that she can quickly pinpoint the problem and get to the heart of the matter once she arrives on site.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the seat, making a crisp, tapping sound.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm sounded, and before anyone could react, the mournful wail of metal echoed throughout the cabin.

The next moment, the entire intelligent fighter jet was torn apart with a roar, and everyone in the cabin was thrown into the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters!

Liu Ting steadied herself in an instant and used her mental power to grab those who were close to the fighter jet, preventing them from being torn apart by the scattered metal fragments.

But many more people had already been turned into mincemeat along with the fighter jets in that sudden attack.

A massive shadow fell from the sky, and an endless aura of ferocity emanated from overhead.

Looking up, Liu Ting saw a ferocious, long-clawed serpent, its body covered in bluish-black scales and its belly purple, stretching nearly two hundred meters in length, poking its head out from the clouds and looking in her direction.

King-level monster—Purple Azure Dragon!

None of the four war gods died in the attack that destroyed the fighter jets. They adjusted their posture, grabbed some wreckage from the jets, stood on tiptoe, and kicked off hard!

The immense power and explosive force brought about an equally immense reaction force, forcibly halting their descent and launching them like cannonballs towards the terrifyingly powerful Purple-Green Dragon!

Blades pierced the air, spears pierced the clouds, great axes roared, and sword light was chilling!

They sensed the mental power Liu Ting was unleashing and realized she was exceptionally strong, but it was meaningless.

Under the threat of a King-level monster, Liu Ting was able to escape using her mental techniques, which was already extremely fortunate. We dare not expect her to defeat the powerful enemy.

Encountering a King-level monster was quite unexpected, but since they had been ordered to protect Liu Ting, they would do everything in their power.

Even at the cost of our lives, we must create enough time for Academician Liu to escape!

As they charged toward the helpless enemy, they shouted at "Liu Ting":

"escape!!!"

Chapter 258 King-level Terror, Summon!

"Roar!"

Faced with the desperate and fierce attacks of the four war gods, the Purple-Green Dragon simply opened its mouth and let out a roar, and a vast amount of energy spread out in the form of sound waves.

The sound waves transformed into visible shockwaves, crashing down like a tsunami!

The air itself twisted and tore apart under this roar, forming visible ripples that struck the four war gods with destructive power.

"puff--!"

The four charging warriors were sent flying backward as if struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer!

Blood gushed from their mouths, leaving four ghastly streaks in the air at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Their muscles, bones, and internal organs all groaned under the strain of that roar, and they tumbled through the air like rag dolls.

Even the invincible God of War would find it difficult to resist a King-level monster.

Not to mention these four war gods from the Jiangnan Military Region, the strongest of whom, Liang Xiao, who wields a battle sword, is only of medium-level war god strength.

They survived a casual attack from a King-level monster only thanks to their full set of S-class combat suits.

However, after this attack, their S-class combat suits were ruined, covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and could not withstand a second attack.

After the Purple-Green Dragon roared and sent four war gods flying, it did not stop.

Its abyssal maw, large enough to swallow a small villa, suddenly opened wide, its fangs as white as giant blades, and it lunged at the four war gods who were flying backward!

The moment its massive jaws snapped shut, a stench swept over us, as if it were about to tear the sky apart with a single bite!

Crisis moment—

"Shut up!!"

A clear shout resounded through the sky!

Liu Ting finally made up her mind. Her powerful mental energy, like an invisible giant hand, suddenly reached out and precisely enveloped the head of the Purple-Green Dragon, pulling it forcefully towards her!

Caught off guard, the purple-green dragon, which was just playing around, was pulled by telekinesis, and its attack deviated from its trajectory.

In the nick of time, the giant maw of the Purple-Green Dragon grazed past the four War Gods, biting at nothing!

But the next moment——

call! !

The purple-green dragon's tail lashed out like a black and blue lightning whip!

Its speed and power were so great that it shattered the air along its path, creating a vacuum channel!

The clouds were split open in an instant by this tail, as if the sky itself had been cleaved in two by this strike!

Liu Ting's pupils contracted, and she exerted all her mental power to form an indestructible mental barrier in front of her!

however--

boom!!!

The snake's tail lashed fiercely at the psychic barrier!

The barrier, which contained all of Liu Ting's mental energy, shattered in less than half a second!

The remaining force pounded against her like a raging torrent!

"puff--!"

Liu Ting felt a tightness in her chest, and as if she had been hit by a planet, she plummeted to the ground at supersonic speed!

The wind howled in my ears, and the scenery rushed past my eyes—clouds, sky, earth, everything was spinning!

The four war gods had just recovered when they saw this scene, and their eyes widened in fury!

"Academician Liu—!"

But they no longer had anything to use as a stepping stone to help them rush towards the Purple-Green Dragon.

With nowhere to grab hold at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they could only helplessly fall along with a dozen other soldiers who had lost the power of "Liu Ting's" mental support.

The purple-green dragon coiled in the clouds, its enormous serpentine eyes flashing with cruelty and mockery.

It opened its mouth again, and intense energy gathered in its mouth, forming a huge, visible ball of light.

The ball of light emitted a destructive white light, like a second sun hanging high in the sky!

An incredibly terrifying aura emanated from it, far exceeding the limits of a War God-level martial artist.

Everyone knew that once the Purple Azure Dragon unleashed this energy, they would all be reduced to ashes!
