Black Silk Female Police Detective Exorcist

Unfortunately, due to the fall of the major cities on the East Coast and the previous losses of the Truth Society, the aliens obtained a large number of human materials, and now the strength of the Apocalypse Warrior Legion has increased dramatically, with the total number of Apocalypse Warriors approaching 30.

Even though the Apocalypse Warriors aren't considered particularly strong superhumans, humanity has long since gained experience in fighting them, and they are still a force that should not be underestimated. A direct confrontation could result in heavy casualties.

Therefore, it is necessary to use powerful weapons to first clean up the wave.

Qin Huanyu activated the [Magic Wand] again, and the alien detector invented by Qin Hai was also running at full power in space, together locking onto the aliens and Apocalypse Warriors in the south-central region of White Eagle Continent.

The aliens must have had countermeasures against nuclear strikes. Nuclear bombs are unlikely to destroy the aliens' core facilities, but they can certainly reduce the number of Apocalypse Warriors.

Now, essentially, only the Holy Zhou Kingdom remains as a human nation in the world. Naturally, there is no need to abide by any international treaties anymore. Nuclear missiles can be used however one wants, and bombed wherever one pleases.

In some inconspicuous places in the country during Holy Week, various heavy trucks suddenly appeared, with the cargo containers on the back of the trucks mostly bearing the words "XX Express" or "XX Logistics".

However, when the truck's cargo container was opened, there were no express delivery boxes inside. Instead, there were thick pipes, each dozens of meters long, with teardrop-shaped curves at the top, which looked very imposing and spectacular.

Upon receiving the launch order, these large tubes, each with flames erupting from their ends, shot into the sky and, after entering the stratosphere, flew together towards White Eagle Island.

As expected, the Church of Apocalypse had some means of detecting nuclear missiles. About twenty minutes after the imposing tubes took off, Qin Huanyu, who had been watching the south-central part of White Eagle Continent with her [Wand], noticed that the Apocalypse Warriors, who had been like zombies, began to move and were very disciplined in looking for various air-raid shelters nearby.

But it's too late.

The most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles have long exceeded Mach 30, and it would only take them less than 30 minutes to strike the central and southern regions of White Eagle Island from Saint Zhou.

They're only now starting to look for air-raid shelters; there's simply no time to find a safe place.

Not to mention that the nuclear missiles used by the Holy Zhou Kingdom this time all have terminal acceleration and use multiple warheads for cluster bombing, which is a true ground-washing attack.

Almost all the Apocalypse Warriors roaming the ground were reduced to ashes in a blaze of light as bright as the sun, and many insectoid structures that were clearly alien creations were also wiped out in one fell swoop.

Since these lands would be reclaimed later, the Holy Zhou Kingdom did not use those highly polluting nuclear warheads. All the explosions were relatively thorough, using only pure thermal radiation and shock waves to kill the enemy, leaving little pollution behind.

Qin Huanyu, who had been keeping a close eye on the cleanup operation with her wand, first reported some good news: the cleanup was quite successful, with at least 10 Apocalypse Warriors eliminated.

However, Qin Hai reported some bad news—many Apocalypse warriors had died, but the number of red dots on the alien probe had not decreased much, less than 5%.

As expected, the aliens indeed had sufficient nuclear defense measures and facilities. Even though this attack was a surprise, it only cleared out a large number of miscellaneous soldiers and failed to harm the aliens' core.

Everyone felt a little disappointed, but since it was all expected, there was no real sense of frustration. They immediately began the second phase of the operation.

Three seven-star space carriers served as fortresses in the air, while on the ground were 70 soldiers mobilized from the West Coast – of whom less than 40 were former White Eagle veterans, and the rest were young White Eagle soldiers who had been newly enlisted after receiving equipment support from the Holy Zhou Kingdom.

Occasionally, one could see strange-looking individuals among the army, many of whom lacked any human form and resembled monsters from fantasy dramas—these were all bizarre creatures from the Truth Society.

Instead of advancing, the coalition chose to proceed cautiously, taking one step at a time, advancing less than 30 kilometers each day.

A small number of Apocalypse Warriors pose no threat whatsoever. Whether they launch a nighttime ambush or charge at high speed from different directions, they will only be torn to shreds by overwhelming firepower.

With the space carrier in command, the Apocalypse Warriors' every move was exposed. Whether they charged in a group or launched a surprise attack in a scattered manner, they were no match for the Allied Forces and almost all of them collapsed at the first touch.

Over the course of several days, the Allied forces suffered almost no casualties, except for some rookies who sprained their ankles during the march and new recruits who were too nervous and unwell.

Every time they reclaimed a piece of land, the allied forces would use various detectors to search carefully, digging out and completely destroying any creations not belonging to Earth's civilization, no matter how deeply they were hidden.

After this battle lasted for about a month and a half, the aliens had already found and completely destroyed more than 10 important facilities hidden deep underground by the coalition forces, and they finally couldn't sit still any longer.

Bishop-level superhumans began appearing on the battlefield, leading elite Apocalypse Warriors to assassinate Allied officers, while also using some rather bizarre biological weapons.

The coalition forces began to suffer casualties, but the losses were not significant.

This time, it was the eccentric members of the Truth Society who did a great job.

Regardless of the type of biological or chemical weapon, its killing methods are basically only two: acid and poison.

This is also a common trick used by many bizarre companies. They fight poison with poison, and even if they cannot completely save the soldiers affected by biological weapons, they can help them survive as much as possible, giving many soldiers who would have died from biological weapons the opportunity to be treated.

Many experts in poisons and biochemicals from the supernatural world participated in this joint operation. No matter what kind of biochemical weapons the aliens used, the allied forces were able to quickly develop countermeasures. As long as the soldiers attacked by biochemical weapons did not die immediately, they could basically save their lives and even return to the battlefield after recovering.

The surprise attack and assassination led by a bishop-level expert and elite Apocalypse Warriors did initially cause the West Coast to lose a number of excellent mid-level officers.

While Truth might arrange for the grotesque to protect the officers, many of the grotesque's fighting styles excel at dealing damage, making them unsuitable as bodyguards.

The allied forces quickly adjusted their strategy, taking all the most important officers to the space carrier for protection, while also having the Witch Transformers join the ground forces to partner with the freaks of the Truth Society in fighting against the powerful aliens.

While the individual combat strength of most of the Witch Transformers was inferior to that of the Truth Society's freaks, they were all able to use a low-powered version of the Mathematical Eye with the help of the Jade Net. They were very adept at preventing sneak attacks and finding the enemy's weaknesses. Combined with the combat strength of the Truth Society's freaks, they quickly turned the tide.

The aliens' surprise attack and assassination tactics failed one after another, and they even lost several bishops.

They had to use their trump card first.

That night, a ground military camp located outside the close-in weaponry range of the space carrier suddenly burst into flames, turning thousands of White Eagle soldiers into ashes. Even the Witch Transformers of the Witch Squad suffered their first casualties, and the bizarre members of the Truth Society also failed to survive.

Phoenix Warrior has finally made his move.

However, this was his only chance, because as he prepared to retreat after his successful attack, Qin Huanyu, who had been waiting on the Yuheng space carrier, came out and chased after him, beating him mercilessly.

Phoenix Warrior's speed was inferior to Qin Huanyu's. He had only flown less than 50 kilometers when he was intercepted by Qin Huanyu. He received no support from the aliens and had to defeat Qin Huanyu completely before he could leave.

The two first used missiles and fire feathers to create several barrages in the air, and then Phoenix Warrior began to forcefully break through.

Relying on his superhuman immortality, he used his fiery feathers to defend against missiles while charging towards the aliens' stronghold.

He didn't care about losing arms or legs, and even when a missile exploded nearby and blew off half his head, he was completely unaffected... If Qin Huanyu wanted to stop the Phoenix Demon, she had to use an attack that could shatter the Phoenix Demon in one blow.

While the Phoenix Warrior's defense is relatively fragile, that's only relative to top-tier superhumans. In fact, he's quite resilient. Qin Huanyu's attacks, which could shatter his defenses in one blow, generally required charging up. However, the Phoenix Warrior's regeneration speed after being shattered was even faster than Qin Huanyu's attack charging speed.

So after a few rounds, relying on this reckless charging tactic, the Phoenix Warrior charged forward for dozens of kilometers, while Qin Huanyu was panting heavily, clearly having exhausted a lot of her energy from the forced interception.

The Phoenix Demon... or rather, the alien controlling the Phoenix Demon, was overjoyed. It saw this as an opportunity. If it could take this chance to eliminate Qin Huanyu, the most troublesome character, then no one would be able to restrain the Phoenix Demon anymore. Tonight's tragedy would happen every day in the Allied Forces' future, and it wouldn't be long before the morale of the Human Allied Forces collapsed!

At this moment, the battlefield was more than 100 kilometers away from the Allied Forces' camp. Although it was also far from the aliens' lair, and the archbishops were too late to provide support, the human Allied Forces were also unable to provide support to Qin Huanyu at this time.

So the Phoenix Demon stopped running and intensified his attack on Qin Huanyu, trying to turn the tables.

He didn't think he would lose at all—last time he chased Qin Huanyu all the way to the Atlantic Ocean, and if it weren't for the support of the Holy Zhou Kingdom's fleet, he could have fought his way all the way to the Western Continent!

The barrage of fire feathers and the ray attack of flame waves were not very effective, so the Phoenix Warrior decided to use melee combat - he wanted to give Qin Huanyu a fiery hug and burn her alive through his armor with the high temperature of the inextinguishable fire!

This is indeed a very effective method. Qin Huanyu can dodge or neutralize the Undying Flame from a distance, but if she gets entangled by the Undying Flame at close range, it will be very bad.

However, Qin Huanyu was not fighting alone this time. Before the allied forces set out, she had already undergone nearly two months of training in the "Dead Bird Operation".

Heavy breathing and exhaustion were all acting. When the Phoenix Demon confidently pounced on Qin Huanyu, Qin Huanyu's speed suddenly increased.

Not only did he nimbly dodge Phoenix Warrior's continuous attacks, but the blade display behind him also unfolded again.

The Phoenix Demon thought Qin Huanyu was planning to attack with missiles and machine guns again, so he quickly mobilized his fire-attribute spiritual energy to condense a fiery feather.

Unexpectedly, what appeared on the blade monitor this time was not missiles and machine guns, but a white-haired, blue-eyed beauty wearing a T-crotch bodysuit and fishnet stockings.

The beautiful woman jumped off the monitor at lightning speed and floated to the side of the Phoenix Demon.

The Phoenix Demon Knight's alarm bells rang loudly. Although he couldn't see through the true nature of the beautiful woman in front of him, he suddenly felt a deadly threat.

"die!"

Phoenix Warrior is also a powerful warrior who has been through countless battles. He may not be the same as he used to be, but his fighting instincts are still there.

Instead of hastily retreating or defending, he manipulated all the fiery feathers to attack the white-haired, blue-eyed beauty while simultaneously lunging forward himself.

Phoenix Demon Knight saw it clearly: this newly appeared beauty, Ling Su, wasn't particularly strong, and she didn't have the high-tech armor like Qin Huanyu. This attack was enough to kill her! No matter what threat her abilities posed, once she was dead, she was no longer a threat!

The white-haired, blue-eyed beauty was none other than Yi Youyou, who had donned her phantom thief outfit once again. She had been hiding in Qin Huanyu's imaginary space, waiting for her chance.

Qin Huanyu cherished Yi Youyou very much. If she hadn't been certain that Yi Youyou could at least withstand one full-force attack from a top-tier superhuman, she would never have chosen to let Yi Youyou engage in such a dangerous tactic as the Phoenix Demon Warrior activating his abilities.

Several years ago, when Qin Huanyu was helping Yi Youyou develop her superpowers, he once told Yi Youyou, in order to please his wife, that Yi Youyou had the potential to become the strongest superhuman—the limit of her coefficient manipulation was even enough to create a black hole with her bare hands.

Qin Huanyu mentioned this casually at the time and forgot about it not long afterward, but Yi Youyou really took it to heart. In the past few years, she even overcame her laziness and has been cultivating her superpowers except for the time when she was pregnant and in confinement.

Of course, Yi Youyou couldn't create a black hole by hand; her spiritual energy wasn't strong enough.

However, there was an unexpected gain: in her practice of constantly trying to manipulate gravity to create black holes, Yi Youyou mastered a new skill.

This new skill will likely only be very effective the first time when facing top-tier superhumans, but it's already sufficient.

When he lunged at Yi Youyou and was about 3 meters away, the Phoenix Demon suddenly realized that everything around him was moving very slowly. The fire feathers that were shooting at him were almost still, and his own body was almost unable to move, as if he were trapped in cement.

Yi Youyou, however, was completely unaffected. Although she looked pale and exhausted, she still lightly slapped the Phoenix Demon Warrior before retreating.

Chapter 220 The Demise of the Aliens

This is a common setting in many science fiction works.

Gravity of sufficient intensity can warp time.

Even in many science fiction works based on Star Wars, there is a weapon concept called a gravity well or gravity net, which is used to limit the faster-than-light flight or space jump of a spaceship.

Whether this makes sense or not, nobody knows.

But the power of collective thought can create miracles; extraordinary power can accomplish things that seem impossible from a scientific perspective.

Perhaps it's because they benefited from people's increased awareness of science fiction, or perhaps it's for other reasons.

In short, although Yi Youyou was unable to create a black hole by hand due to insufficient spiritual energy strength during her years of cultivating superpowers, she successfully achieved the science fiction concept that 'gravity can distort time'.

When she uses all her strength to change the gravity coefficient to enhance her own gravitational effect, she can temporarily slow down the flow of time around her.

Although the duration is short and the range is small, the actual effect may not be as good as a group slowing spell, but because the principle of the ability is completely different, general slowing resistance and spell resistance are ineffective against this move.

Anyway, the Phoenix Demon was affected by the time slowing effect, and could only watch helplessly as Yi Youyou slapped him before quickly hiding back in Qin Huanyu's wings, avoiding all attacks.

Phoenix Warrior was initially shocked, but then he was puzzled—you took such a big risk just for that weak slap? What's the point?

Puzzled, the Phoenix Demon suddenly saw a beautiful woman jump out from Qin Huanyu's other half of the blade monitor wing. She was a somewhat silly-looking woman dressed in a red and white witch's outfit.

—Are there still ambushes?

The Phoenix Demon was somewhat surprised, and Yi Youyou's strange abilities had also made him wary. He didn't rush towards the new beauty rashly, but instead chose to retreat and create some distance, intending to observe her carefully first.

This cost him his last chance.

The newly appeared red and white-clad shrine maiden was none other than Yuan Baixue. She had also hidden in Qin Huanyu's imaginary space before the battle began and had been charging up her light and lightning.

If Phoenix Warrior had pounced on Yuan Baixue the moment she appeared, Yuan Baixue's attack might have failed—even if her lightning attack had been fully charged, it still required a casting animation to be successfully launched, and this casting animation could be interrupted.

In fact, Qin Huanyu had prepared 14 contingency plans for Yuan Baixue's spellcasting to be interrupted.

However, good fortune smiled upon her. Startled by Yi Youyou's bizarre abilities, the Phoenix Demon's first reaction upon seeing Yuan Baixue was to retreat.

Yuan Baixue immediately completed the spellcasting action.

Phoenix Warrior's speed is actually not slow; he's just not as fast as Lei Mingming and Qin Huanyu, but he's still faster than most fighter jets.

But against an attack as fast as light, there is no difference between one time the speed of sound and a hundred times the speed of sound; any attempt to dodge is meaningless.

The only chance was to dodge or interrupt before the attack was launched, but Phoenix Man missed that opportunity.

Then the torrent of light and lightning crashed down on him.

Yi Youyou's slap had already greatly reduced the binding force between the atomic nuclei and electrons in the Phoenix Demon's cells. Now, with the onslaught of electrons, the originally stable atomic structure could no longer hold up.

The collapse of atomic structure and the escape of electrons, along with the collision of neutrons with other nearby atoms, further triggering the collapse reaction, is one of the basic principles of nuclear weapons.

Upon being struck by the lightning bolt, the Phoenix Demon exploded almost instantly, transforming into a gigantic firework that could light up the night sky and be seen from hundreds of kilometers away.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Huanyu pretended to be physically exhausted before – she had long anticipated that this phenomenon might occur after the Phoenix Demon's cellular atomic structure collapsed, and worried that the explosion would harm the Allied Forces, so she had to lure the Phoenix Demon away before taking action.

Of course, Qin Huanyu couldn't withstand the explosion either, so the moment the lightning struck, she grabbed Yuan Baixue and hid in the imaginary space through the wing-shaped blade display, leaving only the blade display that had separated from the armor to be blown up in place.

Apart from being more robust, the wing-shaped blade monitor, which was no different from a regular monitor, was naturally reduced to ashes in the explosion. Qin Huanyu was also unable to leave the imaginary space from her original spot and could only emerge from one of the screens on the Yuheng space carrier.

Immediately rushing to the site of the previous battle, Qin Huanyu widened her Mathematical Magic Eye and used the various detection functions on her armor to search for traces of the Phoenix Demon Warrior.

Nothing was found.

Did they successfully kill him completely?

Qin Huanyu couldn't be 100% certain, after all, atomic-level matter recombination was just Qin Huanyu's own understanding of the Phoenix Demon's regeneration ability, and it might be a more complex mystery?

However, Qin Huanyu still believed that the probability of the Phoenix Demon Warrior being completely dead was very high. After all, any ability is affected by the strength of the ability user's spiritual essence, and there is an upper limit... Just like Yi Youyou could theoretically create a black hole by hand, but in reality, she could never create one.

The ability to reorganize matter at the atomic level is already incredibly powerful. If Phoenix Warrior's abilities were even greater, his spiritual strength would be extremely high, and he wouldn't have been unable to defeat Lei Mingming back then. The White Eagle Federation would have unified humanity long ago.

Just like a sports student, no matter what sport they excel at, their performance can never exceed the limits of human physical capabilities. Someone who can't even withstand a pistol bullet can't run at supersonic speeds; their physical strength is insufficient.

The same applies to the Phoenix Warrior now. Judging from his flight speed, attack power, and spiritual energy intensity, his ability is unlikely to exceed atomic-level matter reorganization, as that ability has already exceeded his limit.

Therefore, Qin Huanyu was at least 8% certain that the Phoenix Demon was completely dead.

However, Qin Huanyu was not careless. In the following days, she remained vigilant and was ready to strike immediately should the Phoenix Demon appear.

But Phoenix Warrior was probably really dead. In the subsequent Allied offensive, although the aliens kept sending elite forces to raid and harass, they didn't achieve much success.

Several of the archbishop-level aliens are quite powerful; in terms of raw strength, Qin Huanyu would likely be no match for them in a one-on-one fight. However, none of these archbishops possess the mobility of the Phoenix Warrior, meaning their only fate in ground combat would be to be overwhelmed and killed by the larger combined forces.

Even Wu Xiqun personally led the expedition aboard the Yuheng Space Carrier. Two aliens at the level of archbishops were killed by her with her Warrior's Fist. Each of her small fists, whose power was no less than that of a missile, shattered the worldview of many White Eagle soldiers.

As more and more aliens are killed by the coalition forces, their bodies are dissected and studied, and their brains are dug out to read their memories using advanced technology or evil magic, the secrets of these aliens gradually come to light.
