Xing Tie: Wait a minute! How come Weng Xing has two saviors?

But now... the area below the city is open, with solid city walls and eagerly awaiting soldiers behind him, and in front of him... only those damned but resilient stones!

"Bai Mo, I'm saying you..." Bai E was about to tease him a bit more when he caught a glimpse of Bai Mo raising his hand out of the corner of his eye: "Σ(OдO|||)ノノ!"

Boom!

Chapter 53 Bai Mo: Bai E, when have you ever seen my skills need a cooldown?

A holy beam of light, more dazzling than the midday sun, more violent than thunder, and so pure that it could not tolerate any impurities, roared out from the tip of Bai Mo's sword!

It was no longer the tentative beam of light, but a world-destroying torrent that had completely broken free of its shackles!

Wherever the beam of light passed, space twisted violently! The air was instantly ionized, emitting ear-piercing crackling sounds!

The Titans' retinue at the forefront—whether they were Scourge Warriors, Scourge Sages, or the Scourge Vanguard with relatively tough shells—did not even have the right to resist the moment they came into contact with the beam of light!

With overwhelming force, the beam of light tore open a long corridor of destruction, more than ten meters wide and over a hundred meters long, amidst the surging tide of monsters, burning with holy flames and nothingness!

The blinding white light engulfed everything, illuminating the faces of the soldiers below the city wall in a deathly pale light!

(Bai E: Not the Gomen?! Brother?! This power... Did you unleash the sea when you fought me before?!)

Behind Bai Mo, the soldiers who had just been cheering for Bai E were now stunned by this scene of divine punishment. Their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and their jaws slammed to the ground.

"What...what is that?!" a soldier cried out, his voice hoarse and trembling as if on the verge of tears.

"Lord Bai... Lord Bai Mo?! Isn't he... the one who's in charge of cooking at the Golden Grand Hotel?!"

However, Bai Mo, who was at the center of the holy light burst, frowned deeply.

As expected! He understood immediately. He had vaguely sensed it while fighting through the sea of ​​monsters: these familiars, born from metal and rock twisted by the power of "Conflict," possessed astonishing resistance to pure energy attacks!

Even a divine spell of the level of [Oath of Radiance], when unleashed at its full power, only completely purifies the "minor monsters" within a hundred meters.

Those resilient and thick-skinned vanguards of the Heavenly Punishment, though severely wounded, are still struggling to get up and try to continue their charge!

As for those two hundred meters away? Those Heavenly Punishment Warriors and Hunters were only burned and repelled, and soon joined the charging wave again!

However… Bai Mo's peripheral vision swept over the faces of the soldiers on the city wall behind him, faces filled with shock, awe, and even fanaticism. He heard their suppressed gasps and gasps of astonishment.

The initial goal has been achieved. Ever since meeting Katniss, the plan to purge the Senate has been brewing in his mind.

But before flipping the table, we must firmly grasp the hearts and minds of the army, especially these middle and lower-ranking soldiers!

Nothing earns you more favorability than turning the tide on a desperate battlefield and demonstrating absolute power!

"Bai... Bai Mo." Bai E's voice carried a barely perceptible dryness and a sense of foreboding.

He pointed to the scene ahead, where although a large area had been cleared, monsters were still pouring in from afar. "Your skill... is it that powerful? Does it have a long cooldown?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo slowly turned his head to look at Bai E, a hint of...mischievousness appearing on his lips. He said nothing, but slowly raised one index finger.

Bai E's face paled: "One hour?! Such power, and only one hour of cooldown? Is that reasonable?"

Bai Mo shook his head, his movements elegant yet resolute. His raised index finger remained firmly in place, even waving defiantly.

"One...one minute?!" Bai E's voice suddenly rose, "Bai Mo, are you fucking cheating?!"

However, "No, no, no, Bai'er," Bai Mo finally spoke.

"When have you ever... seen my skills need a 'cooldown'? Of course... it's when I keep casting them!"

Buzz—boom!!!!

A second, equally thick, blazing, and all-destroying pillar of light, the "Oath of Radiance," burst forth once more without interruption!

It precisely covered another horde of monsters that had just approached and were trying to fill the gap! The blinding white light once again flooded the field of vision, turning those hideous figures into nothingness!

"I'll fuck your mother!!!!" Bai E looked at Bai Mo's relaxed and carefree demeanor, as if he had just dusted off some dust.

The thought of my next month of grueling dishwasher work completely shattered my composure! What's the point of even competing?! Dude, are you using some kind of unlimited power cheat?!

Bai Mo ignored his brother, who was collapsing from the "dishwashing hell" beside him, and turned his calm gaze back to the battlefield.

The energy attack effect has been significantly weakened? The [Oath of Glory] clearing efficiency is not meeting expectations?

Then… let’s try a different approach! A more direct and forceful solution instantly formed in Bai Mo’s mind—a one-time-use version of the Rod of God!

He slowly raised his right hand, fingers spread, palm facing forward.

Whoosh—BOOM! ! ! ! ! ! !

It wasn't an explosion, but a terrifying sonic boom that was extremely muffled, like the long blast of a horn from a massive ship!

Throughout the entire battlefield, whether it was the soldiers on the city walls or Bai E below, everyone felt as if their hearts had been squeezed tightly by an invisible giant hand!

A blurry gray shadow, almost impossible to catch, shot out from the Hundred Realms Gate in front of Bai Mo's palm at a terrifying initial speed close to the speed of sound!

That wasn't energy, but a giant stone pillar with a diameter of over one meter, a length of nearly three meters, and made entirely of some kind of dense marble!

The stone pillar tore through the air, and its tip, due to extreme speed and friction with the air, instantly burned into a molten, red-hot state!

Behind it, a visible, violently twisted white cone-shaped shockwave was left behind! A brief but violent vacuum channel formed around the stone pillar!

Rumble, rumble—! ! !

Wherever the stone pillar passed, the terrifying wind pressure it generated was like an invisible, destructive plowshare! The soil on the ground was torn up and pulverized in large pieces, like fragile biscuits!

Within a 50-meter radius on both sides of the path, the quarreling families, regardless of size or strength, were like scarecrows in a storm, violently swept up and thrown away by the raging suction force and shockwave!

Those who were closer were torn to pieces in mid-air! Those who were further away were slammed to the ground or their companions like rag dolls, their bones broken and tendons snapped!

This is merely the aftershock of the stone pillar passing by!

The stone pillar itself, carrying world-destroying kinetic energy, pierced through the dense horde of monsters without any hindrance!

*Puff puff puff puff puff—!* *Crack!* *Boom!*

The Divine Punishment Warriors that stood in its way were pierced and crushed like pieces of paper! The solid stone shell was meaningless in the face of absolute power and speed!

The Heavenly Punishment Vanguard attempted to block with its greatsword, but the sword, its arm, and even half of its body were reduced to dust the instant they made contact! Wherever the stone pillar passed, it left behind only a straight and scorching death path, over forty meters wide, paved with metal fragments and molten rock!

Chapter 54 Bai Mo: This move seems to have a 30-second cooldown, but a 30-second cooldown seems unlikely.

After traversing nearly 500 meters of monster ocean and creating a terrifying path of destruction, the marble pillar that carried terrifying kinetic energy finally reached the material's limit!

*Crack—Boom!*

With a deafening roar, the stone pillar shattered in the area where the monsters were most densely packed!

It wasn't just a simple shattering; it exploded violently like a super-giant high-explosive bomb!

Countless massive, scorching hot rocks with blade-like edges, carrying their remaining immense kinetic energy, were sprayed wildly in all directions like a meteor shower!

*Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!* *Boom! Boom!*

Monsters hit directly by the rubble exploded instantly! Those swept by the shockwave were sent flying backward as if struck by an invisible giant hammer!

Centered on the disintegrating core, a massive fan-shaped area with a radius exceeding fifty meters was instantly cleared and leveled! The ground was a mess, littered with deep pits, traces of melting, and the remains of monsters!

Absolute silence enveloped the city walls!

Bai E remained with his mouth agape and his eyes wide open like copper bells, the heavy sword in his hand falling to the ground with a clang.

His mind went blank, leaving only the afterimage of the stone pillar that tore through the earth, pierced through the army formation, and finally exploded like the final judgment!

The soldiers around them froze on the spot, their expressions frozen in utter shock and bewilderment.

They couldn't understand what they were seeing. What... what was that flying past?

Was that divine punishment? Is this really... something a human could do?!

Only Bai Mo, the instigator, tilted his head slightly, looking at the huge fan-shaped area that had been cleared in the distance, and the monsters still surging in from further away, seemingly still somewhat dissatisfied, muttering to himself:

"Tsk... the structural strength of the stone pillar is still too low. It can't withstand even the slightest exceedance of the speed of sound... but..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Isn't the 'scattering of flowers' effect what we wanted after it disintegrated? Clearance efficiency... so-so."

"Bai... Bai Mo..." Bai E finally found his voice, which was dry and sounded like sandpaper being rubbed.

He pointed to the deathly fan-shaped area that had been ravaged by the "rain of gravel," his fingers trembling. "Your...this skill...it...it doesn't have a cooldown? That can't be..."

Bai Mo turned his head and looked at Bai E, finally nodding in "mercy": "Oh, this, preparing the [Disposable Staff of God] is a bit troublesome."

Bai Mo paused, and just as a glimmer of hope ignited in Bai E's eyes, he slowly added, "It takes... about 30 seconds to prepare one shot."

"30 seconds?!" Bai E's voice rose instantly, cracking with despair, "A thing like this, fired every 30 seconds?! You..."

Bai Mo interrupted Bai E with a smile, revealing a devilishly warm smile. He spread his hands, and another Hundred Realms Gate appeared in his palms again. He added, "However, who told you... that I can only prepare one at a time?"

Bai E: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

So Bai Mo really is the protagonist! All that savior stuff is just a joke!

“Ms. Aglaia, this is what happened. Lord Bai'er and Lord Bai Mo have already gone to the battlefield outside the city…” Xia Die stopped in front of Aglaia, her hands elegantly folded in front of her.

Aglaia paused slightly, then turned to face Xia Die. A ripple of surprise spread across her calm, deep-lake-like eyes, before instantly returning to stillness. "Bai Mo? He...?"

"Let's discuss these things later, Butterfly." Aglaia gently shook her head, temporarily suppressing her surprise.

"Right now, we have a more 'urgent' invitation to attend. Even at this critical moment, those guys in the Senate still haven't forgotten to 'solemnly' convene an emergency meeting."

They even specifically requested my presence. I don't know whether to admire their inflated confidence in the Ohmama army to the point of ignoring reality.

Or do they still believe that I, as their 'nanny,' will do anything to bail them out?

Or perhaps... they've been sitting on their laurels for too long, forgetting what the smoke of the apocalypse smells like, and forgetting that this smoke could burn down the platform beneath their feet at any moment." Aglaia's expression turned unusually cold.

Inside the council chamber, a somber atmosphere mingled with the scents of old parchment scrolls and the incense of power.

Aglaia pushed open the door and stepped calmly into this arena that belonged to the core of power in Ohma.

Beneath the towering dome, several gazes—some scrutinizing, some indifferent, and some harboring hostility—instantly focused on her.

Before Aglaia had even reached the center, Katniss's voice rang out impatiently, carrying an undisguised sense of challenge:

"Aglaia! You have misappropriated the Holy City's precious public resources and secretly cultivated a private army that is loyal only to you! Do you know your crime?!"

The accusations of "using military power for personal gain" and "embezzling funds" were slapped on harshly and hastily, with the aim of seizing the moral high ground from the outset and suppressing Aglaia's arrogance.

Aglaia stopped and calmly met Katniss's aggressive gaze. Her voice was as still as a deep pool:

"I wonder which resource Elder Katniss is referring to as 'misappropriation'? And which warriors are you referring to as 'private armed forces' who shed their blood to defend the Holy City? Please clarify."

Aglaia's counter-question was precise and restrained, simply deflecting the question back with a deft touch.

But both sides knew perfectly well that this was just the prelude to the Senate's usual squabbles.

Katniss couldn't produce any concrete evidence, and Aglaia had no intention of getting bogged down in the details at this moment. The real killer move was often hidden in the end.

Katniss snorted coldly, seemingly having anticipated Aglaia's response.

She stopped dwelling on the vague accusations and instead pointed the finger directly at her target—Bai Er.

"Alright, let's set aside those minor details for now. But Bai E of the Ai Li Mi Xie, as the 'savior' who received resources from the Holy City and awakened the Golden Blood, should rightfully have his power and responsibilities belong to the entire Ohma!"

"However, he has long remained outside the regular army system of the Holy City, taking orders only from you, Aglaia! Isn't this turning the Holy City's treasure into your personal private army?!"

"Our Senate has unanimously decided that Bai'er must be immediately incorporated into the Ohma City Defense Force and placed under unified command! His power must be used to protect every inch of the Holy City, not to become a tool for some to consolidate their power!"

Her words were resounding, and as she looked around, several elders who were loyal to her nodded in agreement.

Katniss's lips curled into a barely perceptible, self-satisfied smile.

Chapter 55 Bai Mo: Why was Aglaia able to weave Kevin's cosplay outfit?

In her view, this move would both weaken Aglaia's absolute control over the "Savior" and place the powerful White Eer in the "public" sphere where the Senate could exert influence.

They might even be used to their advantage in future power struggles.

Weakening the opponent and strengthening one's own side is a win-win situation.

A brief silence fell over the council chamber as all eyes were fixed on Aglaia.

She remained silent, like a frozen snow-capped mountain, her calm eyes unfathomably deep, revealing not a trace of emotion. This silence carried an invisible pressure.

Seeing this, Katniss assumed Aglaia was speechless, and her smugness grew even stronger. She pressed her advantage, using even more aggressive language to force Aglaia to submit on the spot:

“Aglaia! What are you still hesitating for? Do you intend to openly defy the collective will of the Senate and disregard the safety of the Holy City? You…”

at this time--

Aglaia's fingers, hanging at her sides, trembled very slightly, as if she had received some invisible signal.
