This chapter is 5k words, with an extra 1k words added, leaving 54k words still owed.

I was typing away late at night and my head was all foggy. I accidentally wrote "Sister Shi" instead of "letter," and after writing almost 1 words, I realized my mistake and had to delete everything. I was so frustrated...

Chapter 13, Section 334: The New Year is really tiring!

On the burning city square, a battle is unfolding amidst the deafening roar of explosions.

Huge ice warships kept appearing from the sky, which would quickly reappear even after being destroyed, continuously firing various magic bullets and ice bullets, making the already severely damaged city even more riddled with holes.

The wildly styled woman was nowhere to be found. She seemed well aware of Li Cheng and his companions' proficiency in close combat and made no attempt to approach them. Meanwhile, the accompanying magicians relentlessly unleashed various attack spells, trying to kill the three on the spot.

Li Cheng grabbed Kamijou Touma, constantly dodging various attacks. Occasionally, a magic bullet would be launched that they couldn't dodge in time, at which point Kamijou Touma would proactively extend his right hand to erase the attack, preventing the two of them from being hit.

The letter disappeared after the bombing began, presumably heading towards the enemy's location. A short while later, Li Cheng saw two magicians who had been relentlessly attacking his side convulsing and collapsing to the ground. However, because the ice ship attacks from the sky never stopped, Li Cheng was unable to find an opportunity to approach the woman's position.

"These ships are still too heavily armed. If this continues, we'll only be able to take hits."

Jumping over a broken section of the road, Li Cheng cursed under his breath in frustration before being knocked down into the ruins by the shockwave of a magic cannon that struck him from the side.

The woman could summon a maximum of about twelve ice ships, but each ice ship had numerous cannons, and the powerful magic bullets made it impossible for Li Cheng to withstand them head-on. On the other hand, Kamijou Touma, due to the special nature of his ability, could occasionally withstand the attacks when he couldn't dodge them in time.

Taking down the ice ships wasn't out of the question. Although the firepower was fierce, the ice ships themselves weren't very sturdy, and Li Cheng had already tried to destroy several of them before. However, such attacks were completely pointless. No matter how many ice ships were destroyed, they could always quickly replenish their numbers, as if they possessed an endless regenerative ability.

"Zi, do you know what's going on with these things? Why do they always recover immediately no matter how much you hit them?"

Unable to find a breakthrough after a long time, Li Cheng finally couldn't bear it any longer and decided to ask for help from someone who had been watching the show remotely.

【Oh dear, is Seung asking us for help?】

Zi deliberately drew out her words, her playful voice echoing in Li Cheng's mind.

"That's right, beautiful and cute Sister Zi, I can't hold on much longer. No matter how good I am, I'm just a lone soldier. This kind of military-level conflict is a bit too much for me."

As they spoke, several more magic bullets slammed into Li Cheng's side. This time, he had to use a gap to teleport to the nearby city ruins to completely evade the attack. However, the ice ships seemed to be able to sense the enemy's location and quickly adjusted to Li Cheng's hiding place, unleashing another volley of fire.

[Hmph, it's really frustrating when someone begs us like this on purpose. They just want to watch the show, but they're making things difficult for us.]

Zi's ​​voice carried a hint of helplessness, but it quickly turned serious.

[Possessing extremely powerful offensive capabilities and the ability to rapidly regenerate after countless destructions, such a technique must be incredibly sophisticated, requiring a core. Since you have destroyed all the ice ships several times in previous battles, it proves that the core is not located on those ice ships.]

There are currently two possibilities: either the woman carries the core of the spell with her, or it's hidden nearby. If it's the former, you'll need to find the woman; if it's the latter, look around and see if there's anything that hasn't been severely destroyed, then go in and search. Anyway, as the core of a spell, it will inevitably emit magical fluctuations, which you, as a dimensional being, cannot hide from.

Are there two possibilities? Does that mean we have to make a choice now?

Thinking about what Zi had said, Li Cheng jumped out of the house that was teetering on the brink of collapse from the shelling and landed directly on an ice ship that was close to the house. Using the ice ship's hovering height, he quickly swept across the ground.

It looks like the surrounding houses are damaged. Wait, how come the subway entrance over there is still standing after all this bombing?

Despite the plaza's ground level being blasted down by nearly half a meter, the subway station entrance located at the edge of the plaza remained largely undamaged. Having been too busy fighting to notice it earlier, Li Cheng now realized the anomaly after Zi's reminder.

Oh, and the characteristics of interstitial organisms.

Having fully activated the demonic power within his body, Li Cheng's left eye turned a dazzling bright purple, and within that pupil, a faint magical power was emanating from the entrance of the subway station.

Hmph, it seems my luck isn't too bad.

The howling wind whistled in his ears as the surrounding ice ships fired directly at the one Li Cheng was standing on, tearing the massive vessel to shreds in the blink of an eye. But as a crack flashed through the dust, an unharmed Li Cheng appeared directly above the subway station and leaped inside.

"Tch, it was discovered so quickly?"

Meanwhile, on the other side, a woman with many metal decorations on her face stopped, frowned, and turned to look in the direction of the subway station.

"Hmph, I thought I could play a little longer, but I didn't expect these guys to be so smart."

However, this level of destruction is quite sufficient. If those subordinates were capable enough, they could have killed at least tens of thousands of people, right? Add to that those who will never wake up from their coma, hehehe, under these circumstances, the so-called "Academy City" project should probably be terminated.

Thinking this, the woman smiled happily and turned to walk outside.

Xin, lurking in the shadows, suddenly burst forth, launching a deadly attack from the woman's blind spot. However, this seemingly infallible strike ultimately missed the woman. Xin collapsed to his knees, his body gradually weakening despite his desperate efforts to endure the pain.

The strike, imbued with the ultimate power of death, grazed the woman's face before striking a collapsed stone pillar not far away, shattering it into dust.

"Ha, that really startled me. I didn't even notice them sneaking up to such close range. It seems the so-called Hassan sect really does have its strengths."

The woman stood there stunned for two or three seconds before realizing how close she had come to death. With a look of astonishment, she looked at Xin, who was gradually weakening, swung the huge hammer in her hand, and slowly walked forward while muttering a sigh.

"Although we know a little about your reclusive organization, it's astonishing that a mere candidate who hasn't even inherited Hassan's name already possesses such terrifying abilities. Perhaps I should consider killing you here?"

Xin didn't react much, but tried his best to support his body and try to gather strength again, but he became weaker and weaker.

"Stop thinking about it. Now that my 'Divine Punishment Technique' has been triggered, any hostile actions you take will be amplified and reflected back at you. You have completely lost the ability to continue fighting."

The woman chuckled and pointed the hammer tip at Xin's head, but after frowning and thinking for a moment, she sighed and withdrew the giant hammer.

"Forget it. If I really took care of you, being targeted by that Hassan organization would be a real headache. Heh heh heh, you should be grateful you survived. Remember, little girl, you survived because of the enemy's mercy, hahahaha—"

The woman spoke in a deliberately mocking tone, while Xin gritted his teeth and tried hard to stand up again, but eventually collapsed to the ground, only having enough energy left to keep himself from falling asleep.

"Hmph, so you weren't completely knocked unconscious by the spell? As expected of someone from that organization, your control over your emotions is truly beyond imagination. But even so, you can't change anything now. See you next time, if you can escape my spell, hehe—"

"Stop right there!"

A young man's voice, filled with anger, rang out in the slightly uneven open space.

"what?"

The woman turned around in shock and saw Kamijou Touma, panting and disheveled, walking out from one side of the ruins, with several magicians who had been knocked unconscious beside him.

"You bastard, restore everyone to normal!"

Kamijou Touma roared loudly, while the woman narrowed her eyes, looking at Kamijou Touma with great interest.

"No powerful magical abilities, no disgusting superpowers sensed, and his physical attributes seem rather average. Hmph, interesting. He wasn't captured by the spell. Is it due to his strong will? It doesn't seem like it."

"Why do you insist on targeting ordinary people? Your goal is clearly to stop the establishment of Academy City, so why are you hurting these innocent people?!"

Touma Kamijou ignored the woman's words and instead questioned her angrily.

"Ha, what's going on? What kind of hero game are you playing, questioning me, the 'villain'?"

The woman chuckled and suddenly swung her giant hammer. Instantly, a magic bullet appeared out of thin air beside Touma Kamijou, hurtling towards him at incredible speed. But Touma, as if he had anticipated the magic bullet, spun around and caught the attack with his right palm. The powerful magic bullet vanished without a trace in his hand.

"It actually destroyed the magic bullet directly? What kind of ability is that?"

The woman's expression turned puzzled. She struck the giant hammer again, sending another magic bullet hurtling towards Touma Kamijou. Once again, Touma Kamijou neutralized the magic bullet.

"Nothing special. My ability is simply to eliminate any magic or superpowers I come into contact with, that's all."

"I speak calmly," Kamijou Touma said, approaching the woman step by step.

“Nonsense,” the woman refuted Touma Kamijou’s words. “That’s not a superpower at all. Although it’s just disgusting stuff, superpowers themselves emit unique energy fluctuations like magic. But you, you didn’t emit any of those fluctuations just now. Your ability is definitely not a superpower.”

"Who knows? Anyway, I was told that my ability was a superpower during the ability assessment, but I don't really care about that," Touma Kamijou said, clenching his right fist and pointing it at the woman's position. "The important thing is that I'm going to use this right hand to knock you, you lowlife, to the ground!"

"Ha, defeat me?"

The woman laughed so hard her face contorted as if she had heard something hilarious. She stuck out her tongue again, and a cross ornament attached to a chain dangled down.

"You're just someone who happens to be immune to my 'Divine Punishment Spell.' You, with no outstanding power whatsoever, actually think you can defeat me, the Right Seat of God, head-on? Hahaha, how ridiculous! Or should this just be considered the ignorant arrogance of a little brat?"

The woman's expression grew increasingly ferocious, her eyes filled with murderous intent as she looked at Touma Kamijou.

"It doesn't matter anymore. You're nothing but trash from a filthy technological world anyway. I'll kill you all, one by one, those self-proclaimed advanced people who think they're from the future!"

……

In the subway station, Li Cheng released his right hand, letting the magician's body, whose half-head he had smashed, slowly slide to the ground.

On the subway platform where Li Cheng was, seven or eight magicians lay scattered on the ground in various poses. These were the magicians who had fought with Li Cheng earlier, and now they had all turned into cold corpses.

"This place is indeed suspicious. There's not a single trace of damage, and so many magicians are stationed here. It seems that the core of that ice ship must be here."

Li Cheng muttered to himself as he pushed open the door leading to the subway staff area, only to find it sealed by magical power. Taking a step back to steady himself, Li Cheng slammed his palm out, knocking the door and wall to the ground. The ground beneath his feet cracked from the force of the blow.

There seemed to be a scream when the door collapsed, indicating that a magician had been hiding behind it, preparing to ambush Li Cheng, but was unfortunately crushed by the falling door. Without thinking much, Li Cheng took advantage of the binding magic still on the door and stepped on it. Immediately, another scream came from below the door. Then, Li Cheng stomped harder, and the scream instantly turned into some rather bizarre sounds.

Behind the door, Li Cheng finally saw his target: a huge ice ball, about two meters in diameter, suspended in mid-air, radiating profound magical energy.

"They actually found us? It seems this is a test from the Lord for us, you heretical monkeys."

Immediately following, accompanied by the arrogant voice of a man not far away, a richly dressed clergyman appeared in the room.

Chinese New Year feels so tiring. Why did I think it was so much fun when I was a kid?

I currently owe 55k words. Tsk, lately I haven't been able to update much due to various things. Could it be that I might have to pay it back until March...?

Section 335, Chapter Fourteen: Cruelty and Courage

Dressed in white and gold, clearly the attire of a clergyman, the man looked arrogantly at Li Cheng at the main entrance, his expression full of contempt and disgust.

"Oh dear, just being in the same room fills me with a nauseating stench. This is the kind of despicable existence that is called heresy that refuses to embrace the Lord."

The man sneered and took out three small cross ornaments from his pocket.

"However, it is our duty as servants of the Lord to bring merciful death upon heretics. I, Piageo Pusoni, am the one who brings you mercy. Come, pray for the Lord's grace!"

"Why do I always encounter religious people who are prone to producing lunatics like you?" Li Cheng frowned as he watched Piageo approach. "Besides, your aura seems barely up to the level of a B-rank magician. You dare to say you can kill me with this kind of strength? Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"

"You will soon see the heretical monkey, [Simon carrying the cross of the 'Son of God']!"

Piageo shouted, raising a cross high.

A tremendous weight descended upon Li Cheng in an instant. This sudden heaviness caught him off guard, causing him to fall to the ground and sink directly into the concrete.
