Crack! Crack! Crack!

The lightning continued, and each wave of lightning was a different color.

The cyan lightning caused the Apocalypse Warriors' bodies to swell irregularly, with strange tumors growing on their bodies and eventually bursting open, the scattered pus causing secondary damage to other Weather Warriors nearby.

The crimson lightning has the best killing effect. Often, upon contact, it can cause Apocalypse Warriors to burst into flames like oiled rats encountering a fire source, turning them to ashes within seconds.

The brownish-brown lightning could slow down the Apocalypse Warriors' charge speed, making their legs feel as if they were filled with soil, making each step extremely heavy. Some Apocalypse Warriors even sank into the ground after taking a step and could not pull their legs out.

The last type of golden lightning is incredibly sharp; each strike can turn an Apocalypse Warrior into pieces of pork belly thrown into a blender, mincing them into cubes and strips.

More than 100 soldiers at the temporary command post of the 072nd Marine Corps were all gaping, some even with tears streaming down their faces as they prayed, believing that God had finally sent down divine punishment to save them.

Only Colonel Jim, who was the commander and had some knowledge of classified intelligence, stared solemnly at the dark clouds in the sky and muttered to himself:

"It's the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool and the Five Elements Divine Thunder, the signature spells of the Celestial Master lineage of the Holy Zhou Kingdom... Has some important figure come? Why would they even send out such a top-tier expert?"

The battle was already over when all the Apocalypse Warriors rushed under the clouds.

The Divine Thunder Pool spell has both very obvious drawbacks and advantages.

The drawback is that you cannot move after casting the spell, and it can only damage enemies within range. If the enemy avoids it from a distance, Shenxiao Thunder Pool is helpless.

The advantage is that the power of the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool is really strong. Unless you are a top-level superhuman, it is difficult to escape once you enter the range of the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool. You will be attacked by the Five Elements Divine Thunder in a continuous cycle until you are reduced to ashes.

Therefore, the Yuan family lineage has always been the guardian celestial masters of the Holy Zhou Kingdom. Each generation of celestial masters, in conjunction with the successors of the Yi family, can control the Divine Capital Grand Array to summon the Divine Thunder Pool that covers the entire Divine Capital, causing any enemy that attacks the Divine Capital to be reduced to ashes in the lightning.

Without the support of the Divine Capital Formation, Yuan Qi's control over the Divine Firmament Thunder Pool only covers a maximum distance of about 1000 meters. That's why she waits until the Apocalypse Warriors get as close as possible before making her move, ensuring that none of them can escape.

This is another reason why the Yao Guang ship would bring Yuan Qi on missions – the Yao Guang ship doesn't have any powerful weapons yet, so it can only bring a top-tier superhuman to make up the numbers.

After all the Apocalypse Warriors fell in the lightning, the dark clouds in the sky quickly dispersed, and the enormous Yao Guang, more than 300 meters long, hung in the sky, leaving the survivors of the 072nd Marine Regiment below stunned.

"Oh my god... Godfather! So the mothership the Saint Zhou people were talking about was a space mothership... Aren't these things only in science fiction movies? How come they actually built one? Our White Eagle Federation's technology is clearly the best in the world..."

Colonel Jim felt frustrated and resentful, but he was also overjoyed at surviving the ordeal. This joy, in turn, fueled his pride, making him feel even more frustrated and resentful.

But Colonel Jim had no choice. With things having come to this, he could only, with the enthusiastic help of the Yao Guang, reunite with the 300 soldiers who had gone to flank them, and capture the Melvin Nuclear Power Plant, which was no longer home to the Apocalypse Warriors, thus completing his mission.

However, Colonel Jim is finished. Not only is his promotion to brigadier general out of the question, he will also likely face a military court in the White Eagle Federation.

After taking control of the Melvin nuclear power plant, Colonel Jim quickly contacted headquarters to report the situation.

The White Eagle government was shocked by the sudden appearance of the Yao Guang over White Eagle Continent. Besides being surprised that the Holy Zhou Kingdom had actually developed an aerospace carrier, the government also severely criticized the Holy Zhou Kingdom for sending troops into the White Eagle Federation's airspace without the White Eagle government's permission.

The Yaoguang was naturally prepared as well, and produced Colonel Jim's recording of a distress call broadcast on an old-fashioned radio, indicating that it had come after receiving a request for assistance and that it was not an unprovoked intrusion into the White Eagle Federation's airspace.

Colonel Jim took all the blame.

By privately requesting aid from foreign troops and allowing them into his airspace, even if Colonel Jim did this for the sake of victory, he is doomed.

With the Yao Guang now having a legitimate reason to enter the airspace of the White Eagle, the White Eagle government could no longer criticize it. They even had to thank the Yao Guang for its rescue, and find a place on the west coast for the Yao Guang to rest for one night before returning to the Holy Zhou Kingdom the next day.

Of course, all of this was actually arranged by the corrupt officials and capitalists in the White Eagle regime who wanted to make money, and Colonel Jim and his 072nd Marine Regiment were the victims.

When the Yao Guang landed in the rest area arranged by the White Eagle Federation, the White Eagle officials and capitalists who had been prepared immediately boarded with their families, ready to leave this disaster-ridden continent at dawn and start a better life on the other side of the sea.

At this point, the Yaoguang's mission is more than halfway complete.

However, late that night, while Qin Huanyu was chatting with several female communications soldiers in the duty room, she suddenly felt a stirring in her heart and received some kind of call.

That call gave her a strong sense of familiarity, like that of a blood relative.

Chapter 207 A Strange, Familiar, Dangerous, and Alluring Woman

Qin Huanyu initially wanted to ignore the call.

This is, after all, a foreign land, and the territory of the Truth Society and the Apocalypse Church aliens; who knows what kind of trap it might be.

But the call grew stronger, and Qin Huanyu had a premonition that if she completely ignored it, she would regret it in the future.

Qin Huanyu decided to trust her intuition.

But she wouldn't act rashly on her own; she wanted to discuss it with Yuan Qi first.

Domestically, Qin Huanyu and Yuan Qi belong to the reformist and conservative factions respectively, requiring them to adopt opposing stances due to ideological conflicts and the need to maintain balance. However, abroad, they are both members of the Shengzhou community, reliable comrades who can trust each other and rely on each other's backs.

As one of the strongest superhumans in the world and a knowledgeable old man, Yuan Qi probably knows what is calling Qin Huanyu.

Before going to find Yuan Qi, Qin Huanyu first took a look at the White Eagle officials and capitalists who were busy moving all sorts of things onto the Yaoguang.

These White Eagle officials and capitalists will certainly not leave empty-handed when they go to the Holy Zhou Kingdom; they will bring a large amount of wealth with them so that they can maintain a wealthy lifestyle and even start a business again.

With the White Eagle Federation potentially collapsing at any moment, those stocks and securities are practically worthless, and the Holy Zhou Kingdom wouldn't recognize them either.

Some White Eagle officials and capitalists planned to carry large amounts of jewelry and artwork, but the Holy Zhou Kingdom rejected them—using the Yao Guang's limited carrying capacity as an excuse, they told them to deal with the jewelry and artwork later.

The wealth that could be unrestrictedly carried onto the Yao Guang by the White Eagle officials and capitalists was basically of only one type—various rare metals, mainly gold, and of course, if you had Absolute Spirit Iron, that would be even better.

The value of Absolute Spirit Iron goes without saying, and gold is also a true hard currency, even in times of war and disaster.

Those so-called masterpieces of art may be worth less than a bag of grain during times of war, but gold always retains its value.

Because gold is not only rare, it is also an essential material in modern industry and a precious resource in the extraordinary field, and there is never enough of it.

Those White Eagle officials and capitalists were ruthless enough. For their own future wealth, they practically emptied the White Eagle government's gold reserves without giving any thought to what would happen to the White Eagle people on the West Coast.

Qin Huanyu didn't care much about the lives of the White Eagles either. She even pre-ordered a batch of gold at a price slightly lower than the market price, intending to transport it back to the Lingsu Research Institute as raw material.

After inspecting the White Eagle officials and capitalists and confirming that they were all normal, Qin Huanyu approached Yuan Qi and told him about her strange feelings and plans.

Yuan Qi had indeed guessed about this matter, or at least knew some information.

She pondered for a long time with great care, then sighed, picked up her flying sword, and straightened her Taoist robe.

“Let’s go… You helped Bai Xue achieve a great opportunity in Qingzhou City before, and I still owe you a debt of gratitude and favor. I’ll accompany you this time.”

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu was taken aback by Yuan Qi's decisiveness and quickly asked:

"If you and I both leave, what will happen to the Yao Guang?"

"Hmm...that makes sense. We do need to make some arrangements here."

Yuan Qi nodded, thought for a moment, and then extended his hand to Qin Huanyu:

"You should have that illusion mirror with you, right? Take it out and let me use it."

"Ok."

Qin Huanyu did not hesitate and quickly handed over the mirror.

Yuan Qi clearly knew a lot about the False Image Mirror. She casually made a hand seal, and the False Image Mirror floated in front of her. Then the mirror surface lit up.

A few seconds later, as the brightness of the mirror reached its limit, another Yuan Qi walked directly out of the mirror.

Unlike Qin Huanyu's mirror clones, which were merely recording fixed movements, Yuan Qi's mirror clone was significantly more agile, possessed a very powerful aura, and seemed capable of using various Celestial Master lineage spells at any time.

“Let’s go. This mirror image contains about 4% of my power. Staying here is enough to deal with most situations… Even if she can’t hold on, I will sense it and bring you back.”

After creating the mirror image, Yuan Qi easily waved her hand, and the mirror image went to take her place on the Yaoguang. She then smiled at Qin Huanyu again.

Qin Huanyu nearly popped her eyes out—she had been the owner of the Mirror of Illusion for almost a year and had never known that it had such an ability.

"Surprised? Actually, there's nothing surprising... if you know the history of this illusion mirror."

Yuan Qi chuckled again, answering Qin Huanyu's question:

"It was originally a magical artifact crafted by one of our Yuan family ancestors. It was given as a gift at a royal princess's birthday banquet and was later stored in the royal treasury. As a descendant of the Yuan family, I have some special techniques, so it's normal that I can use its hidden power, right?"

"I see……"

Qin Huanyu first seemed to realize something, then asked with a mixture of curiosity and anticipation:

"Could you teach me this special technique, Celestial Master? After all, I am currently the user of the Mirror of Illusion."

"Teaching you? It's not entirely impossible..."

Yuan Qi looked at Qin Huanyu with a rather strange expression for a while:

"However, this technique is a family secret of our Yuan family, passed down only within the family. If you want to learn it, you have to marry Tingxue or Baixue first, or you can just marry both of them... Besides, I also have a daughter, Feixue, who is very beautiful. Would you like to get to know her?"

"Uh... I'm afraid I'll get killed by Youyou if I do that."

Qin Huanyu was speechless. What kind of mother sells her daughter like this?

However, after thinking for a moment, Qin Huanyu once again showed a look of sudden realization:

"Did the Celestial Master also take a liking to my special bloodline and want the Yuan family's descendants to have even more outstanding talents?"

"...No extraordinary being would not covet your bloodline, especially after witnessing the awakening of Her Highness's power."

Yuan Qi gave Qin Huanyu another deep look:

"You should be glad that I am ultimately a righteous cultivator, not a demonic cultivator who does things his own way and without restraint."

"Uh……"

Qin Huanyu felt a little flustered under Yuan Qi's strange gaze and swallowed hard.

"If you are a demonic cultivator?"

"Then I will definitely find a way to bring you home, and call all three daughters back, so that they can have children with you day and night."

Yuan Qi answered without hesitation, then added meaningfully after a moment's thought:

"Maybe I'll give it a try myself."

Startled, Qin Huanyu quickly took a few steps back, distancing herself from the strange aunt.

Fortunately, Yuan Qi was not a demonic cultivator after all. Her purpose in saying these words was more to remind Qin Huanyu to be wary of the extraordinary beings who coveted her bloodline.

The superhumans from the 404 Investigation Bureau and the Treasure Pavilion wouldn't target her, but it's hard to say about the very few wild superhumans who still exist.

With Yuan Qi's mirror image, possessing 4% of his magical power, in charge of the Yao Guang, Qin Huanyu no longer hesitated and quickly followed the direction of the call.

The call was so clear, and the place was not far away, in a small grove of trees less than 2 kilometers away from the Yaoguang's rest area.

It was a woman, a very beautiful woman, wearing a black gothic punk-style dress. Through the slit in the skirt, one could vaguely see black stockings, which was very alluring.

The warm, familiar call that Qin Huanyu felt came from this woman, making her instinctively want to embrace her. However, her reason told her that this woman was extremely dangerous and powerful—the kind of danger and power that could kill her if she wasn't careful.

"It really is you, Enchantress. I didn't expect you to come in person."

While Qin Huanyu was still guessing who the strange, familiar, and charming woman was, Yuan Qi had already greeted her expressionlessly.

"We meet again, Celestial Master of the Holy Zhou Kingdom... It's been so long since we last met, and I still have a very strong impression of your Divine Thunder Pool~~"

The woman, known as the Enchantress, lifted the hems of her skirt with both hands, and gracefully performed a ladylike curtsy, like a noblewoman in the night.

"Greetings, you two... Oh, hehehe, I never expected it either. The dignified Celestial Master of the Holy Zhou Kingdom would actually serve as a bodyguard for someone outside the royal family."

"...You two wait a minute!"

Seeing that the tension between the two seemed to be escalating, Qin Huanyu finally couldn't help but interject, puffing out her cheeks as she looked at the woman known as the "femme fatale":

"So it's you who's been calling me using these weird methods, isn't it? Now that I'm here, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"

"...You really don't recognize me at all, do you? You heartless sister~~"

Unexpectedly, the enchantress's expression became even more exaggerated, as if she were performing in a stage play:

"To be honest, I have a really tough life... There are four sisters in my family, and I am only the third oldest. I also have two smart and capable older sisters."

"I never expected that the eldest sister would be so heartless and cold-blooded. She actually abandoned her younger sisters and went to live with someone else. She even played house with that person and had a lot of fun. She even has a child now."

"My second sister was equally irresponsible. Because the family environment didn't meet her expectations, she ran away from home on her own and wandered freely in the wider world. No one could find her, and she completely abandoned her younger sisters."

"As the third child left, I'm left with my youngest sister. I'm constantly striving to protect my younger family members. I'm so pitiful~~"

"Stop acting crazy!"

Yuan Qi finally couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted Yao Ji, glancing at Qin Huanyu again:

"She hasn't awakened yet, so she won't understand what you're saying to her."

"..."

The enchantress stopped her exaggerated movements and carefully observed Qin Huanyu's expression.

She saw that although Qin Huanyu was looking at her the whole time, her eyes were full of ignorance and confusion, two expressions that should never have appeared in her eyes.

"...Was this your doing? To keep her here?"

The enchantress's voice suddenly turned icy, and even the surface of everything within a hundred meters instantly condensed into a layer of white frost.

"What nonsense are you spouting? We don't have that kind of ability."
