After Bai Ling took down more than 10 more people in one go, the two sides fighting outside the main hall finally realized her prowess and changed their tactics together.

The enemy superhumans and monsters chose to launch a direct attack on Bai Ling, aiming to eliminate her first. The female members of the Internal Security and the Investigation Bureau surrounded Bai Ling, helping her fend off the enemy's onslaught while trying to briefly control the enemies and throw them in front of her for her to attack.

Bai Ling fought with increasing ferocity, and the Jade Spirit Sword in her hands became more and more efficient at killing enemies.

She now not only utilizes the unparalleled sharpness of the Jade Spirit Sword itself, but also integrates the medical skills she has cultivated with Linglan for many years. Each sword strike will hit the most medically vulnerable part of the enemy's body, and the energy consumed to kill the enemy is decreasing.

Moreover, Bai Ling also gained new insights into her state of mind.

She had been trying to improve her medical skills under Linglan's guidance, but to little avail. Linglan said that her medical skills had reached the limit of her talent and there was nothing more she could learn from her.

Now, as enemies fall one after another before her eyes, Bai Ling has finally found a medical path that suits her to take her skills to the next level:

As long as the enemy is killed before the comrades are injured, any injury can be healed. This is the true battlefield medic!

The breakthrough in her mindset amplified Bai Ling's already formidable fighting spirit, making her seem like a divine weapon unsheathed.

"I'm not playing support anymore, I'm going to be the main carry!"

Bai Ling's ability to control water is a racial talent, and its strength is closely related to her state of mind. Her current breakthrough in her state of mind has greatly enhanced her ability to control water, the most direct manifestation of which is that the length of the Jade Spirit Sword has almost doubled.

"In broad daylight, with the sharp edge of my jade sword, demons and monsters have nowhere to hide, and heretics and rebels fear the light of my sword!"

"How dare you cause trouble in the Holy Zhou Kingdom's palace? You'd all die before this young lady!"

Bai Ling merged with her sword, charging at the enemy superhumans and monsters. Her jade sword, which was over 4 meters long, swept and slashed, cutting through enemies in two with a single strike, regardless of whether they were wearing armor or protected by spiritual energy, as long as they were not immune to physical damage.

Of course, although Bai Ling's mental state broke through and her strength increased greatly in a short time, she was still not able to suppress dozens of monsters and enemy superhumans by herself. Every time she swung her sword, she would reveal an obvious flaw, and the enemy would seize this flaw to attack her fiercely.

But Bai Ling wasn't fighting alone. All the internal guards and members of the Investigation Bureau on the scene worked together to support her, defending her when she made a mistake and controlling the enemy when she attacked.

Thanks to Bai Ling's outstanding performance, the battle situation outside the main hall of the palace quickly began to reverse, and it was only a matter of time before all the enemy superhumans and monsters were killed.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall of the palace, the battle between Qin Huanyu and Erica was also coming to an end.

Erica's black mud body is completely immune to physical damage and electromagnetic attacks. She can also instantly become ethereal to launch attacks that ignore defenses, which is quite impressive.

Originally, Qin Huanyu would not have been able to defeat her easily.

However, after a few rounds of combat and careful observation, Qin Huanyu discovered that Erica's etherealization could not achieve full-body etherealization, but could only etherealize her high-frequency vibrating hand blades, and the longest etherealization time did not exceed 2.7 seconds.

In response to this, Qin Huanyu quickly came up with a solution. Although she could not completely kill Erica's black mud body for the time being, she could capture Erica alive.

The Saint Maiden's power that Qin Huanyu had just stolen from the ugly little black man a few days ago came in handy. Instead of using the Saint Maiden's power to transform into a weapon, Qin Huanyu created a light membrane eggshell and locked Erica inside.

As expected, Erica could only pass through the light membrane of the Saint Maiden's power with her high-frequency hand slashes, but her body could not get out no matter what. She could only angrily curse Qin Huanyu inside the light membrane and threaten her with all sorts of nasty words.

Qin Huanyu had no interest in arguing with the crazy woman. She first observed the area outside the hall and saw that Bai Ling was wreaking havoc, so she didn't go to help. Instead, she chased after the direction in which the people in the main hall had retreated earlier.

Those who evacuated with the Empress and Princess included not only the top nobles of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, but also many surviving high-ranking officials from the White Eagle, Yinglan, and Aryan nations.

Qin Huanyu did not believe that the enemy's full strength was involved in the operation. Among the foreign officials who disguised themselves as victims and evacuated, there were likely still lurking enemies.

Although the Empress also had Yuan Tingxue and Yi Youyou on her side, and the princess and the Empress themselves, who possessed the power of a hero, were not weak, Qin Huanyu was still somewhat worried and chose to support them.

—An enemy who can endure until the very end to make a move must be stronger than Erica, the Yinglan werewolf, and the Aryan Big Mouth Monster, or even a top-tier powerhouse of the level of Lei Mingming!

as predicted.

Crack!

Before Qin Huanyu could chase after him a few steps out of the palace, she saw thunder crashing down from the direction of the back garden... She was all too familiar with this move; it was Yuan Tingxue's Five Elements Divine Thunder!

Sure enough, there were enemies among those foreigners who evacuated with them!

Yuan Tingxue's fighting style is more like that of a mage. It takes time for her to unleash the Five Elements Divine Thunder. So who will buy her time to cast the spell?

Qin Huanyu's heart was pounding; she was extremely worried.

She no longer cared about hiding her trump card, and directly unsealed her armor. The nozzles on her back and feet sprayed high-pressure steam at full power, and she took off using the reaction force!

In just a few seconds, Qin Huanyu flew over several palaces in the imperial palace and arrived directly at the battlefield in the back garden.

With a single sweep of her mathematical magic eye, Qin Huanyu gained complete control of the entire battlefield situation.

Judging from his clothes, the last enemy should be the white-haired archbishop of the White Eagle Federation's Evangelical Church of Revelation, except that he is now almost unrecognizable as human.

Only his two legs still retained a trace of human characteristics. His head had completely transformed into a giant octopus, and more than a dozen tentacles had grown from his body, each covered in blood, indicating that many unfortunate souls had perished during his surprise attack.

However, Qin Huanyu had no time to pay attention to who had just died. The familiar metallic sheen and physical properties of the Octopus Archbishop made Qin Huanyu cry out in surprise:

"Spirit-Slaying Iron?"

She wouldn't be mistaken; this octopus archbishop's entire body now contains over 80% Absolute Spirit Iron!

With such a powerful body, the mere Five Elements Divine Lightning naturally couldn't harm it. In any case, Qin Huanyu couldn't figure out what use the Five Elements Divine Lightning that Yuan Tingxue had just summoned was.

The battle appears to have been going on for some time, with several destroyed drones visible at the scene, all clearly belonging to Nangong Yue.

Yi Youyou also collapsed to the side. She didn't have any obvious external injuries, but her face was pale, and she was clutching her chest and breathing heavily, likely from a blunt force trauma.

Yuan Tingxue cast a spell from a certain distance, and the only one currently standing in front of the enemy was Wu Xiqun, who should have been under strict protection.

Wu Xiqun is very strong. Her warrior bloodline enhances her strength, speed, and defense in all aspects. She can break the sound barrier with a single dash and send a main battle tank flying with a single punch. Even when the octopus archbishop lashed her body hard with his spirit-severing iron tentacles, she did not move an inch, only her dress was torn.

However, the Octopus Archbishop was stronger. It was only slightly slower than Wu Xiqun in speed, but it clearly had the upper hand in strength. Its Absolute Spirit Iron Body made it almost fearless of any attack.

Qin Huanyu couldn't tell how long the battle had been going on, but she could tell in an instant that the Octopus Archbishop was still very relaxed, while Wu Xiqun was breathing rapidly—a sign that she was running out of energy after the sudden burst of power.

"Your Highness, I'm here to help you!"

Therefore, Qin Huanyu did not hesitate and immediately swooped down from the sky towards the Octopus Archbishop, raising the Dragon-Slaying Mace to smash it directly onto the Octopus Archbishop's head.

The Dragon-Slaying Mace's destructive power doesn't rely on spiritual essence, but rather on pure physical vibration, which is perfect for countering the body of the Absolute Spirit Iron.

Unexpectedly, the Octopus Archbishop didn't dodge, but Wu Xiqun and Yi Youyou screamed in surprise:

"Ayu (Sister Yu), be careful!"

Unfortunately, Qin Huanyu swooped down too fast, and the warning came too late.

puff!

Just as Qin Huanyu was about 3 meters away from the Octopus Archbishop, the Octopus Archbishop suddenly spat out a stream of green liquid.

At this moment, Qin Huanyu, who was sprinting at full speed, had no time to dodge. She could only protect her face with one hand while spinning the Kanglong Mace in front of her to block the green liquid.

sizzle

After the green liquid hit the Kanglong Mace, it immediately made a sound like something being corroded. The Kanglong Mace, which could shatter everything with a single resonant strike, actually showed signs of damage, with many of the edges on the mace melting.

Qin Huanyu was shocked. It was the first time she had ever seen such a powerful acid that could even corrode high-tech alien products.

As she leaped backward, Qin Huanyu quickly used her Mathematical Magic Eye to analyze the acid. Sure enough, it was not a substance that existed on Earth, and she had never seen the molecular structure of the acid before!

Add to that a body with over 80% Absolute Spirit Iron content... absolutely no one on Earth could use Absolute Spirit Iron so extravagantly. Even the wealthiest Holy Zhou Kingdom couldn't do it, nor could the White Eagle Federation!

In a flash, Qin Huanyu had an idea and blurted out:

"You're an alien? The God worshipped by the White Eagle Federation's Evangelical Apocalypse Church is you?"

"...You know too much!"

A cold glint flashed in the octopus archbishop's eyes. It seemed unable to unleash its powerful acid spray continuously, so it stopped spraying and chasing Qin Huanyu, and instead used two tentacles to wrap around her.

puff puff!

Qin Huanyu quickly raised both palms and fired high-pressure steam jets from the nozzles in her palms to retaliate.

Unfortunately, her high-pressure steam flow was only around 800 degrees Celsius, while the melting point of the Spirit-Slaying Iron exceeded 1300 degrees Celsius. She was unable to break through the Spirit-Slaying Iron tentacles and could only use the impact force to repel them.

At the same time, Wu Xiqun also cried out as she was whipped away by a tentacle of spirit-severing iron. She flipped twice in the air before regaining her balance and landing next to Qin Huanyu.

"Is there no heavy weaponry inside the palace, Your Highness?"

Qin Huanyu asked somewhat anxiously.

Even the strongest superhumans are no match for this enemy whose body is covered in Absolute Spirit Iron. The simplest way is to bombard it with firearms. A few individual rocket launchers can damage it!

"What nonsense are you talking about, Sister Yu?"

Wu Xiqun shook her head with a wry smile:

"This is the imperial palace. Wouldn't equipping it with heavy firepower increase the risk? The imperial palace's security has always been handled by an inner guard composed of superhumans... Who would have thought there would be an enemy like this, whose entire body is made of Absolute Spirit Iron?"

As the two were talking, the Octopus Archbishop once again controlled multiple tentacles to attack, and Qin Huanyu also fired small missiles from her armor at the Octopus Archbishop.

Boom boom boom!

Amid the explosion, the octopus archbishop staggered back several steps, his body riddled with craters and one of his tentacles severed.

Sure enough, this conventional weapon proved quite effective against the Octopus Archbishop.

Unfortunately, Qin Huanyu's armor was designed with evil creatures, monsters, and superhuman beings as the hypothetical enemies. The small missiles had a low explosive charge, which could injure the Octopus Archbishop, but could not seriously injure or kill him.

More importantly, the armor itself does not have space storage technology; its endurance output relies entirely on high-pressure steam flow, and it is equipped with a limited number of small missiles, which can only be fired twice in a salvo.

We must find another way to kill the Octopus Archbishop!

. . . . .

Outside the capital city, in the sky, a battlefield of top-tier experts raged with lightning and thunder.

Lei Mingming, Zhishi Nuo Xuan Gui, Yi Qiushui, and Yuan Qi are fighting a 2V2 match. However, although the battle looks impressive, it is actually just a charade.

The Cheese Nuo Xuan Gui, which should have been the main target, didn't even make a move. Instead, it floated in mid-air like an old man watching people play chess on the street, observing the show.

The main people responsible for creating the illusion of a fierce battle were Lei Mingming and Yuan Qi. One of them was born with the ability to control lightning, and the other was proficient in the Five Elements Divine Lightning Spell. It was incredibly easy for them to make the battlefield look like it was filled with lightning and thunder.

Unlike the previous relaxed chat and watching the show from the air, Yuan Qi's expression was somewhat serious at this moment:

"I never expected the White Eagle Federation to have such a hidden trick up its sleeve... The Church of Apocalypse, humph, I thought it was just another cult they created, but it turns out they're colluding with aliens under the guise of religion!"

"That's why I said long ago that compared to the Truth Society, those inherently evil human races among the member states of the Freedom Treaty are the greatest enemies of our Holy Zhou Kingdom!"

Lei Mingming's eyes were filled with coldness:

"The bizarre beings cannot exist without humans. They can actually coexist with us, but those bastards from the Free Alliance have never given up their ambition to destroy our Holy Zhou Kingdom! For this, they even collude with aliens... and even worship alien monsters as gods! Now you should understand why I have today's plan, right? The best way to ensure that our children can live in peace in the future is to kill all the humans on Earth except those from the Holy Zhou Kingdom!"

"That's going too far!"

Yi Qiushui, who was standing next to her, first firmly expressed her opposition, and then sighed:

"However, I also agree that the greatest enemy of the Holy Zhou Kingdom is our fellow human race, which is why Xiaoqi and I did not stop your plan, and even went along with your reckless behavior."

"Oh dear... what time is it? You still have the mind to discuss these topics that have been debated countless times?"

Yuan Qi, who was noticeably younger than Lei Mingming and Yi Qiushui, was starting to lose his composure:

"Can't you see that the children are already in a tough fight over His Highness? That alien monster is clearly beyond their capabilities. Let's hurry and go help them!"

"no!"

Lei Mingming shook his head, his expression resolute:

“We absolutely must not intervene unless it is a last resort… otherwise, the fact that we’re putting on an act will be exposed! Saint Zhou will be the mastermind behind this incident, and so many countries that have lost important figures will unite in hatred, and another world war will break out!”

"Don't forget my plan!"

Lei Mingming then glanced at Yuan Qi and Yi Qiushui in turn:

"This incident has nothing to do with the Holy Zhou Kingdom; the Holy Zhou Kingdom is also a victim! The mastermind behind it all is me, the traitor who betrayed my country and sided with the Truth Society. I wanted to collude with the elite superhumans of the White Eagle Federation to launch an attack on the day of the Holy Zhou Kingdom's princess's wedding, to wipe out the highest leaders of various countries and confirm the White Eagle Federation's absolute hegemony in the world! However, thanks to the outstanding performance of the younger generation of the Holy Zhou Kingdom, my conspiracy was completely thwarted. All the elite superhumans of the White Eagle Federation were killed in battle, and the highest leaders of various countries also suffered heavy casualties in the attack... The Holy Zhou Kingdom, other countries, and even the White Eagle Federation are all victims. The only ones who should take the blame are me and the radicals of the White Eagle Federation! Haven't I said this many times already?"

“...Of course we understand what you mean, Minny.”

Yi Qiushui looked at Lei Mingming with a complicated expression:

"You want to sacrifice yourself by becoming a traitor to humanity and being infamous for eternity, and take advantage of the princess's wedding and the arrival of hundreds of nations to create a great upheaval to weaken the strength of various countries, thus creating an opportunity for our Holy Zhou Kingdom to rebuild the glory of our ancestors... But if the children cannot defeat the enemy you have lured into the trap and suffer heavy casualties, wouldn't your plan be putting the cart before the horse?"

"You should have more faith in the children, Qiushui."

Thunder remained unmoved:

"Even if you don't trust your granddaughter's abilities, you should trust His Highness and Ayu, who inherited the power of the Hero. You all know how strong the power of the Hero is, and everyone is well aware of Ayu's true identity and strength... She's just a mere alien monster; her only fate is to have her corpse refined into Spirit Iron and stored in the material warehouse!"

"...Alright, then I'll observe for a while longer."

Yuan Qi then calmed down, but her expression was also very resolute:

"But if the children are really in danger, I will definitely step in... At worst, our plan will be exposed and we'll be condemned by all countries. What's there to be afraid of? It's just another world war. As long as there are no more countries in the world, then the condemnation won't matter!"

Chapter 178 Killing the Octopus Head

Royal palace, back garden.

With Qin Huanyu, clad in battle armor, joining the fight alongside Wu Xiqun, the two finally withstood the Octopus Archbishop's attacks.

Although they couldn't inflict fatal damage on the octopus archbishop, who was covered in spirit-repelling iron, the octopus archbishop was also unable to break through their combined defense for the time being.
