Is there anything more terrifying than being carried on the shoulder of a female superhero flying at 210 kilometers per hour for three hours?

Let me tell you, it's when that female superhero increases her speed to 300 kilometers per hour.

Lin Xue and I were both amazed that we survived. At first, I thought I would suffocate to death in the 300 km/h wind, but it turns out that human survival ability can always unleash miraculous power – although Lin Xue and I were both severely hypoxic.

We were dizzy, sore all over, and our joints and muscles felt as stiff as if they had been filled with cement. Moving even slightly caused us to grimace in pain. After being blasted by a 300 km/h headwind for three hours, our hair stood straight back, and the fat and muscles on our faces had severely deviated from their original positions, accumulating near our ears and forming undulating waves. We looked at each other and were simultaneously startled by the stranger in front of us...

"Your... sister... is really amazing..." Lin Xue stammered.

"...It's good to be alive..."

I just couldn't understand why Pandora, who usually cared so much about my safety, was so careless at this moment. Didn't she understand that as a carbon-based life form, her older brother couldn't be compared to a Shilin Apostle? Or perhaps, Pandora had turned this into a very interesting game?

Considering the interests of this strange Loli with hidden violent tendencies, it might actually be possible...

After resting on the ground for about ten minutes, Lin Xue and I finally struggled to our feet and began to observe our surroundings.

We had now reached the edge of the forest. Further ahead was a deep valley, from which explosions and roars continuously echoed. Pandora, in her combat form, was quietly watching the valley below.

Lin Xue and I shuffled like zombies to Pandora's side and looked down together.

With that one look, Lin Xue and I both gasped.

Demonic beasts, the entire valley was filled with various demonic beasts! They were a dense mass, like a surging black tide. Although I couldn't name them, from their massive size and the constant release of various magic spells with complete sound, light, and electrical effects, it was clear that any one of them would be a disaster no less than Godzilla if they reached Earth. In the midst of this horde of thousands of demonic beasts, surrounded were about 50 Shilin Warriors who had transformed most of their bodies into massive weapons, resembling Human-shaped Tanks. This stark contrast was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment in a raging flood. Although the Shilin Warriors transformed into human-shaped weapons possessed terrifying offensive capabilities and strong defenses, facing the overwhelming numbers of the demonic beast horde, their defeat was only a matter of time – I could even imagine the scene of these warriors being swallowed by hungry demonic beasts the moment their energy was depleted, and even the scene of the demonic beasts having stomach problems afterward... cough cough, I'm thinking too much.

Although it was the first time seeing such a sight, Lin Xue, who had no prior knowledge, was clearly more surprised than I was. She stared dumbfounded at the scene of fifty future warriors fighting desperately against the demonic beast army. It took her a while to recover, and she looked at me with the gaze of someone seeing a monster, blurting out, "Are you really the Emperor?"

I nodded.

"You're not planning to conquer Earth, are you?"

Pandora, who was listening in, had a flash of light in her eyes – seriously, what are you getting so excited about, you little war maniac?!

To prevent being thrown onto the opposite side of humanity by Lin Xue, whose thoughts were already running wild, I hastily tried to distract her and said to Pandora on the side, "Pandora, do you have any plans? It won't be easy to deal with so many demonic beasts..."

Pandora nodded lightly and replied, "I can handle it."

...Is the combat power of a Shilin General really that exaggerated?

Not just me, Lin Xue also looked disbelieving, but Pandora didn't say much. Instead, she reached up and pressed something near her ear. With a "zzzt" sound, the green mask on her face retracted.

Under the puzzled gazes of Lin Xue and me, Pandora crossed her arms over her chest and slowly bent down. At the same time, a series of "zzzt" sounds, like electric currents flowing, came from within her body. This indicated that Pandora was trying to compress powerful energy.

This posture, why does it look so much like a power-up in a fighting game?

After nearly ten seconds, Pandora seemed to have finally completed her power-up... cough cough, charging. She suddenly straightened up and quickly floated about half a meter above the ground. Simultaneously, small jet nozzles extended from the joints of her silver-white armor, emitting intense high-temperature flames. The heat of the flames was so strong that Lin Xue and I had to retreat several steps before we could barely withstand it.

Floating in the air, Pandora took a deep breath. Immediately, three circular patterns with a diameter of over ten meters and emitting dazzling red light appeared in the air, arranged in a triangular formation about a meter in front of Pandora. These circular patterns with complex structures reminded me of magic arrays in fantasy novels.

Accompanied by Pandora's piercing scream, the three massive red energy arrays emitted dazzling light. The next second, dark red beams of light surging from the energy arrays rushed towards the demonic beast horde in the valley below, accompanied by a chilling low hum...

In the blinding light, Lin Xue and I involuntarily closed our eyes. All we could hear was the deafening roar and the tragic screams of the demonic beasts being slaughtered in large numbers.

This single strike directly annihilated one-third of the demonic beast horde, and as a bonus, completely collapsed more than half of the valley.

At this point, I finally understood why Pandora had floated into the air and activated the small jet engines – such a powerful energy burst would inevitably have terrifying recoil. If she had launched it while standing on the ground, the ground beneath us would probably have completely collapsed by now.

Lin Xue's slightly trembling voice came over: "Chen Jun, you really won't attack humans, right?"

I was almost in tears: "Miss Lin, I really am a human..."

Pandora's attack had a quite significant effect. The demonic beasts were immediately thrown into disarray by such a strong blow. No matter how high their intelligence, they were still beasts. Facing a powerful enemy they couldn't resist, they immediately lost their will to fight. The temporarily formed demonic beast army began a complete rout. Since most of the valley had collapsed, thousands of demonic beasts could only flee in one direction. Countless demonic beasts were trampled to death or injured in the process. Fortunately, those 50 or so Shilin Warriors had floated into the air beforehand, otherwise our assistance would have turned into killing with a borrowed knife...

Pandora, who had achieved a great feat, quietly walked to my side. Her silver-white armor revealed many heat dissipation vents, and hot air blew out from inside – this girl is really an energy guzzler.

I curiously touched Pandora's hair – it was scalding hot!

"Pandora, what was that move you just used? The power is too exaggerated, isn't it?" Looking at the valley that resembled the aftermath of the apocalypse, I couldn't help but click my tongue.

Pandora held up a sign she had pulled out from somewhere. On it were two large characters: "Helium Flash."

After that scream just now, this girl couldn't speak anymore.

Helium Flash? I thought it was called Loli's Roar...

After the demonic beast horde completely disappeared from our sight, leaving behind a sky full of dust, the 50 Shilin Warriors who had narrowly escaped came before us.
