We moved to Golden Courtyard

Raven released her grip, and the bow and arrows snapped in two. Although her body was still in mid-air, Durandal forcefully altered her trajectory with a single punch.

This caused the raven to fly a little higher.

He vomited up water mixed with blood.

Finally, like a broken wing, she fell from the sky along with Durandal.

The raven collapsed to the ground, her consciousness fading—in her last moments before closing her eyes, besides seeing Durandal's footsteps approaching her, there was also...

In the distance, Gustav was being shot down repeatedly, and Qubeley, controlled by Char, had a bullet pierce his chest.

This is truly the end.

……

No matter what struggles you make, it will be in vain.

Raven wasn't the only one who deeply understood this; a Kaslana family girl named Kallen also felt it deeply.

In front of Xu Qi, she felt as if she were still a child. No matter what kind of attack she made, it was as if she hit a steel plate.

Only at this moment did she finally understand what it meant to be a man as tough as iron.

Xu Qi, who already looked tall, appeared as robust as an upright brown bear in Karen's eyes!

Even Eleanor, who had been captured by Anna, couldn't help but look incredulous at the sight.

Karen's power was clearly inversely proportional to her opponent's intelligence.

Even so, the punch landed on Xu Qi's chest, as if he hadn't eaten, having absolutely no effect on him...

You must be kidding...

Xu Qi grabbed Karen's wrist, and the terrifying force made Karen instantly understand Eleanor's previous experience. This man... was simply a monster.

"Now, you are my prisoner."

Anna wasn't surprised at all by this scene. She rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Have you had enough fun now?"

"The rebels certainly don't have the strength to fight against the entire Vanaheim garrison, but if they are defeated one by one like this, you will have no chance to fight back."

Even though she was captured, Karen couldn't help but be stubborn.

"Since you know that, you should surrender quickly! The garrison in Vanaheim will soon be assembled, and then you will have no chance of escape!"

But what happened the next second was beyond Karen's comprehension.

Suddenly, a pitch-black void tore open beside Xu Qi.

Kiki strode out with her long, slender legs, her golden pupils reflecting the arrogance of a queen. When she saw Karen and Eleanor, who had already been subdued, she said indifferently.

"The base has been completely relocated, it's time for us to go."

"That's cheating, isn't it..."

Eleanor finally understood where Xu Qi and his team's confidence in winning came from.

Spatial teleportation... Using this ability on the battlefield for the first time without our knowledge is absolutely cheating...

However, with just one glance, Eleanor deduced that this was most likely Kiki's ability as a Newtype, rather than a result of technology.

Even so, it was all in vain.

Furthermore, Eleanor knew that having obtained such valuable intelligence, she either had to join the resistance or die within it. Considering Xu Qi's words that if Karen lost, she would have to pay a price…

Ah! What will the price be? It's really hard to guess!

"Cousin, you should still remember that I'm your sister, right?"

"You remember?" Anna whispered in Eleanor's ear.

"It's alright. There's already a pair of sisters in the courtyard, but they're even more capable, they're blood sisters... But now that you're here, it's like having an extra helper."

Eleanor felt that her future was going to be bleak...

At the port of Vanaheim, Cocolia is leading a large force of Anti-Entropy toward that location.

"Lady Cocolia, is what we're doing now... considered running away?"

Cocolia merely sneered at her adjutant's words.

"Vanaheim is like Troy now, and the military base is the closest place to the Trojan Horse. Let the Chosen Ones struggle on their own; we won't get involved."

"But Miss Raven..."

"Just a mercenary. Vanaheim is not a place to stay for long. We should leave first so that we can preserve our strength for Anti-Entropy."

"Then I'm afraid it won't be as you wish, Cocolia."

Cocolia suddenly looked up!

Before her stood a white-haired man with a cold face and icy eyes that made Cocolia feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Kevin..."

Chapter 1151, Section 1144: The Arrogant Mandate of Heaven Meets Its First Waterloo

Just one day after the Waraheim Incident, the international media landscape erupted in chaos, with a deluge of reports flooding in.

The titles used are also exaggerated to the extreme.

The once invincible destiny suffers its first Waterloo.

A monster from the Mediterranean lands in Vanaheim.

The Great Rebel Army Arrives in His Faithful Europe Today

Even if Xu Qi had seen it, he would have thought that the main force of the resistance army should have already captured the capital of the Mandate of Heaven if he didn't know the inside story.

Does this sound like a word?

Of course, Xu Qi is not incapable of understanding these newspaper reports.

Europe had long suffered under oppressive circumstances, and the resistance forces, who thought there was no hope of turning the tide, won a miraculous victory on the battlefield of Vanaheim.

Although it was entirely due to Kiki's spatial teleportation ability, Destiny will definitely be prepared for the next battle, but tell me whether they won or not?

Not only did they win, but in Xu Qi's view, it was a resounding victory!

Putting everything else aside, the number of prisoners they captured alone was quite substantial.

Eleanor Shaniat and Karen Kaslana.

Don't you even read what the newspapers are saying?

"Two of the three founding families of Destiny have fallen, and the Apocalypse family's rule is in imminent danger!"

It's a bit of an exaggeration, but Xu Qi likes it.

The only thing he regretted was not being able to capture Cocolia.

“That woman had some tricks up her sleeve, and the Valkyrie support force from Schicksal arrived quite quickly. I even feel that Otto had anticipated the failure of Vanaheim.”

Kevin sat in the treatment room, most of his body wrapped in bandages.

But don't worry, it just looks a bit miserable, but it's all just superficial injuries.

Su, Qianjie, and Kosmo all had some injuries on them.

Their task in this operation was to intercept Cocolia.

However... it failed.

"Tch!" Qianjie slammed his fist on the bed, complaining, "Don't let me run into that old woman again! Next time... I'll definitely chop her up! Shred her! Chop her to pieces!"

Seeing this, Xu Qi couldn't help but feel curious.

"What exactly happened back then? I expected that the Destiny support force could arrive so quickly. With the abilities of the four of you, you shouldn't have failed."

Kevin knew that Xu Qi wasn't trying to put pressure on them, but rather that he genuinely had doubts.

Sue explained, "Cocolia's methods are far beyond our imagination; she herself seems to be able to control gravity."

"???"

Xu Qi's eyes widened.

"Gravity? Damn gravity?"

Kosmo nodded in deep agreement.

"When I was piloting 00 and fighting against anti-entropy, I clearly felt a change in the gravitational field."

"Holy crap..."

Xu Qi thought that Qi Qi's ability to control space was already incredibly powerful, but then she also caused a change in gravity?

Are all the new humans who defy entropy monsters?

"But...it's not necessarily a human problem."

Sue's tone was somewhat uncertain.

"Even new humans must abide by the principle of equivalent exchange. Your mental strength must be strong enough to have a significant impact."

Take Kiki for example, her mental strength has definitely reached the level of a second awakening, which is why she was able to transfer an entire army here, but Cocolia...

Her mental strength wasn't outstanding; it was quite ordinary. However, when manipulating gravity, the amount of mental strength she used was always the same, but the effects she achieved varied greatly.

Xu Qi understood.

"You suspect that it is a weapon."

"Do you remember what Kafka said? Cocolia started studying the new humans in their childhood many years ago. Who knows if she didn't come up with some strange things?"

"..."

Xu Qi clenched his fist.

The more I talk about it, the more I feel that Cocolia is truly despicable...

"However, it's a good thing that Cocolia was able to play her last trump card. And now that Schicksal has lost Kallen and Eleanor, it has a huge size but no one to control it."

"We can prepare for a direct dialogue with Otto."

Everyone in the sanatorium became serious.

After all, the next step would be their ultimate goal of collectively setting off for Europe.

Xu Qi stood up and comforted them, saying, "You should rest well first. The Battle of Vanaheim was ultimately a victory. Don't let this setback affect your mood."

Walking through the rebels' island base, you can see that everyone's face is beaming with smiles of genuine excitement after their triumphant return.

Most of them came from poor families. The excessive exploitation of Europe by Fate also led to a near-endless supply of soldiers for the resistance.

But these are not things that Xu Qi needs to consider.

He walked through the armored vehicle maintenance room, took the elevator down to the underground, and arrived at a cell.

Despite being called a prison cell, it was very clean and fully equipped, essentially a standard hotel room.

The only difference is that the people living here will have electronic shackles on their legs and their hands will be handcuffed, restricting their movement.

When Xu Qi arrived, Kafka had already been waiting outside the door for a long time.

"Is the person awake?"

"He's already awake."

Xu Qi turned to look at the other person and asked, "Don't you plan to say anything to her first? You two used to be... colleagues, right?"

"I was just being polite and diplomatic, but I didn't have any other extreme thoughts about her."

"That means you know very well who you hate, which is good."

Kafka rolled her eyes at Xu Qi.

She became increasingly audacious towards this boss.

Especially on the day he learned that Xu Qi was really planning to take action against Cocolia.

The door opened, and inside, a woman with short gray hair, wearing a hospital gown, sat leaning against the headboard, looking very weak.

Hearing the door open, a pair of rose-red eyes looked over. Upon seeing that it was Xu Qi, they narrowed their eyes slightly, exuding a very dangerous aura.

Unfortunately... her weakened state is no match for her intimidating presence.

"Natasha Ciora, the highest-paid mercenary in the industry, known as 'Raven' by insiders, is now a prisoner. Do you have anything to say?"
