The azure beam of light struck like a giant sword piercing the heavens and earth, penetrating the towering Thunderforged City.

Then it plunged deep into the churning seawater.

In an instant.

Roars, sometimes high, sometimes low, emanated from the depths of the thunderclouds.

Giant waves hundreds of meters high surged up on the sea! This devastating cannon shot dwarfed the heavens and earth.

The city, which the Ancient Evil regarded as a "Holy City," was half destroyed.

An aura of annihilation and chaos endlessly circulated within the thunderclouds.

Disorganized figures flickered in and out.

That moment.

A series of astonished senses simultaneously reached out towards the source of the beam of light—

Above the Sky!

Astral White Whale.

Ascending Cavity.

The entrance is on the third floor.

Damn it!

They watched as the two extremely weak figures disappeared from sight.

Extinguishing Saint Sword Griffith with its fangs bared, couldn't help but curse:

"They actually managed to escape!"

"We had already succeeded... what was that violent shaking just now?"

now.

He was being held in the hands of a zither clad in ' Light Armor '.

When speaking.

The runes flowing across the blade of the holy sword undulated, seemingly representing fluctuations in emotions.

"Have no idea."

Qin honestly replied, "But I have a feeling that something is awakening..."

Griffith spat again.

After cursing a few times at the place where "Sword Saint Othello" and "Fallen Divine Art Master Johnny" had fled, he left.

He finally managed to calm down:

"Your intuition is right; it was precisely its awakening that caused my emotions to spiral out of control..."

"Damn it, if I find out which bastard did this, I'll kill him and feed him to the pigs!"

"Never mind..."

"We can't let these messy things distract us."

"I just sensed that the beluga whale is in a very unstable state. She may voluntarily end her hibernation, which would be very detrimental to our next move... So we can't wait any longer."

As he spoke.

His tone became somewhat wistful. "I never imagined that my mighty Extinguishing Holy Sword would be reduced to needing the help of little girls like you..."

"It's all your sect leader's fault!"

"If only he were here..."

It seems this guy is turning into a resentful woman again.

Vera quickly asked, "What should we do next?"

"Also, who exactly is this enemy you mentioned? Could it be the white whale itself?"

Griffith snorted, "The white whale is just a tool; she's not worthy of being a major concern for me."

"The enemy I'm referring to is a monster called the 'Scavenger,' slumbering on the moon, possessing the power to shatter the Mystra Planet and its very history!"

"I sense it. The concentration of the Aberrant Matter is increasing, and the Cleaner could wake up at any moment. We must deal with him before he awakens, or Mystra will face annihilation!"

"We don't have much time left..."

Speaking of which...

He paused for a moment, seemingly waiting for someone's response.

Not long after.

Qin decisively gripped the sword hilt:

"I'm ready."

"How do we get to the moon? Do we fly up?"

Griffith replied:

"I can get you through the back door!"

"But once we're on the moon, there's not much I can do to help you. Remember your training; it will be very useful..."

then.

Griffith then provided many more details.

In the end.

He then looked at Vera and said, "My power can only take one person up. You will have to rely on your own abilities to return to the ground."

"It's a bit unfair to take up so much of your time, but the person I've chosen really needs a sparring partner..."

"Our trip to the moon may not be successful, so if you want to live, go back to your original planet!"

"Although, at most, Quinan's condition can only last for a few more eras..."

Having said all that...

A dazzling light erupted from the holy sword.

The light enveloped Qin, whose eyes were empty.

The two gradually disappeared at the entrance to the third floor.

Vera was left alone, staring blankly at the radiance.

"After all..."

"Still haven't you gained the Holy Sword's approval?"

"The memories still haven't been recovered."

Vera sighed softly.

She felt very confused.

After losing their memories.

She lived like an ordinary Clear Spring Sect Disciple.

But the magic ingrained in her bones and her almost ageless appearance told her otherwise.

I am not an ordinary person.

One day.

A voice deep within her told her.

I must become the master of the Holy Sword.

To become the master of the Holy Sword.

She will be able to regain her past memories.

Vera then exhausted all possible methods.

But he was never able to gain Griffith's approval.

She actually felt it quite clearly during training.

However, she always harbored a sliver of wishful thinking.

And recently.

That sliver of hope was finally shattered—

When faced with two enemies who suddenly appeared and were close to Ascension-grade.

Griffith chose Jean as his battle partner without hesitation.

The two sides fought fiercely.

Griffith deliberately feigned weakness to lure them into a trap.

This strategy was very successful.

Both the Sword Saint and the Fallen Divine Art Master were on the verge of death.

And at the last moment.

The latter pulled out his trump card to escape.

The cunning Griffith could have easily interrupted their escape.

Unfortunately, a sudden, violent shaking distracted me.

The Extinguishing Holy Sword was startled by the rapidly increasing concentration of Aberrant Matter on the white whale, which gave the two Salvation Army leaders a glimmer of hope.

And throughout the entire process.

Vera could only watch from the sidelines.

She didn't even get a clear look at the two enemies' faces!

"Hopefully, they will return safely."

Vera sat on the ground, somewhat bewildered.

After a while.

She reached out and gently stroked the gargoyle's smooth, round head.

Looking at the latter's submissive appearance.

Vera murmured, somewhat moved, "Fortunately..."

"And you're here with me."

However, she had barely finished speaking.

The gargoyle suddenly bristled and leaped into the air! Whoosh! The gargoyle flapped its wings and flew into the air.

Vera looked at it in surprise.

This gargoyle was her pet that had been with her for over thirty years.

Of course she knew its habits very well! "This movement..."

"Has it entered reconnaissance mode?"

"Has it discovered the enemy?"

Vera stood up warily.

She was just about to ask the gargoyle what it had discovered.

But then he saw the other person turn around and glance at him.

Those gemstone eyes held emotions that were close to those of a human.

It was a feeling of wanting to say something but holding back.

Before Vera could even speak...

The gargoyle suddenly transformed into a streak of light and flew away!

This scene.

Vera was stunned! She couldn't believe it.

My pet just flew away without a second thought!

This was completely beyond her comprehension and understanding!...

Vera instinctively wanted to use the pet contract.

But it has come to this moment.

She suddenly realized that the pet contract she had made with the gargoyle was invalid!

Everything before was just an illusion! "This... how is this possible?"

Vera felt a chill in her heart.

In an instant.

A flash of lightning suddenly struck her mind! It was like sunlight cleaving through the dark clouds.

It instantly illuminated the heavy fog in her heart—

"It's someone else's pet!"

"It has been faking its presence around me for thirty years!"

"It has now gone to find its original owner!"

Thinking about this...

Vera's heart began to pound.

Too many thoughts flashed through her mind.

After only a few seconds of hesitation.

Vera strengthened her resolve.

She needs to find that person! Because of that person.

They might be the mastermind behind her amnesia!

Whoosh! A bluish-gray wind swirled around her body!...

"Martial Arts: Swift Wind Force!"...

Whoosh! Vera moved like the wind.

They chased straight after the gargoyle!

The Thunderforged City.

The chaos gradually subsided.

The roars turned into waves of questioning, some loud and some soft:

"The Astral White Whale clearly hasn't awakened, so who fired the shot?"

"Daring to fire upon the Holy City, truly the first person in history to do so, hehehe. As expected, our senses are blocked, but the force blocking us is unfamiliar, unlike the locals..."

"Mr. Vilan, you certainly have reason to be arrogant, but this kind of sneak attack is far too despicable! I saw a lot of Black Blood Soldier in the Skiff District. This shot, let alone not be the work of your Salvation Society ..."

"You want to threaten us with Aerospace Cannon?"

The phantoms manifested by the Ancient Evil were filled with hostility towards Vilan.

The latter ignored these words.

He was just adjusting the brim of his half-burnt wizard's hat with some unease.

Their gazes were entirely focused on the Above the Sky.

"This is unreasonable..."

He muttered to himself.

"Whether it's reasonable or not, you must pay the price today."

Icadore said angrily, "Although that shot just now didn't cause any casualties..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Everyone suddenly noticed.

The true form of the Tender White Bud hidden on the coral reef below Thunder City suddenly twitched strangely! Faint dragon fire burned on its body.

Immediately afterwards.

It was an incomparably domineering aura of law!

"Oh no, it's Commandment Kill..."

Icadore exclaimed in surprise.

A series of painful splashes erupted from the coral reef area.

That moment.

Thousands upon thousands of pure white fleshy buds wriggled and stretched out of the sea.

A large amount of white foam gushed out from the tip of the granulation tissue.

Very soon.

The sea surface was filled with white foam.

"Fortunately, it's just a near-death experience, not too serious..."

Icadore let out a soft sigh.

Then, still looking at Vilan with hostility:

"Snort!"

"Don't underestimate our vitality; this near-death experience is nothing..."

Waaaaaah!

A series of mournful cries emanated from beneath the coral reef.

"Not good!"

"How could it be a near-death penetration... No way..."

Icadore hadn't even uttered the word "ba" yet.

The one beneath the coral reef has already lost its life!

The Thunderforged City fell into an eerie silence.

"I..."

Icadore wanted to say something more.

A voice spoke from the darkness:

"Shut up."

"Let's all work together to kill him first, then we'll go and take down Roger."

"I..."

"Damn it, I told you to shut up, so shut up..."

In the midst of the argument.

The rich ethereal energy instantly coalesced.

Eight shimmering ethereal pillars descended from the heavens and earth! These pillars were linked together by a thread-like substance.

Between the pillars.

A series of inescapable nets were instantly formed.

A gigantic and bizarre figure began to truly descend upon the world!

Faced with all of this.

Vilan remained expressionless.

He simply changed into an identical wizard's hat without any hesitation.

His gaze remained fixed on the Above the Sky.

Until the very last second before the battle began.

He muttered to himself, "The timing... is wrong."

"That's a bit too fast..."

The next moment.

His figure was engulfed in the overwhelming rage of the Ancient Evil.

Let's go back half a minute.

Inside the cockpit.

Roger stared at the data panel with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.

"Notification: You bombarded ' Thunderforged City ' with ' Aerospace Cannon ', causing damage to Tender White Bud, Mountain of Buried Bones, Manic Dream, and Vilan..."

Current enemy health: Tender White Bud (50.6%)

Mountain of Buried Bones (78%)

Manic Dream (97%)

Vilan (99%)

..."

"Damn it!"

"Is my luck... good or bad?"

Roger was feeling a bit unwell.

Let's say it's just bad luck.

They miraculously found what appeared to be the headquarters of the "Villain Alliance" in several locations teeming with monsters! To be honest.

Roger never expected that this shot would hit Ancient Evil! Not to mention Vilan.

Although it has the suspicion of being a human-aimed artillery tactic.

But the other person was still grazed a little.

Perhaps this is fate.

Well, you could say it was good luck.

It's not really true.

Three of the four large creatures managed to dodge in time.

Only this "Tender White Bud" stood still for some reason, foolishly taking a shot.

But that's about all the damage can do.

After all, it was an old monster that had survived for several eras.

It's unrealistic to expect to wipe them out with one shot.

But Roger still felt some regret.

"What's worse is that this shot might reveal my position!"

He frowned.

I was just about to check the status of the Aerospace Cannon.

Suddenly.

The data bar started moving again.

"Notification: Your special ability ' Ancient Dragon Flame ' is active..."

"The Tender White Bud's health has dropped to 49.9%..."

"Your special skill ' Commandment Kill ' is in effect... The Tender White Bud has triggered Instant Death Judgment..."

"The Tender White Bud were not exempt from the Instant Death Judgment..."

"You killed the Tender White Bud (transformed form/transcendent/lord/ Ancient Evil /formerly known as: Calamity Mother River)"

"Assister: Vilan (Additional information from the Injured Wolf ')"

And at the very moment the Commandment Kill took effect.

Roger swiftly issued Extermination Order to the dying red dot in his field of vision.

He originally just wanted to give it a try.

Who would have thought it would actually succeed!

What surprised him even more was...

The Tender White Bud, one of the seven Ancient Evil.

They were so utterly vulnerable! What Roger found even more surreal was—

"What the hell is going on with this assist?"

"Vilan was beating up Tender White Bud when I fired the cannon?"

"This... this..."

Before he could even think it through...

New information appeared in the data column.

"Extermination Order: You have acquired the special ability from the Tender White Bud - Super Mother"

"Super Mother (Racial Perk): You can designate your flesh and blood or other forms as a 'Matrix'."

The mother's internal organs will be decomposed immediately.

To make room for super births and to produce nutrients.

All nutrients will be used to reproduce the next generation.

In the mother's state.

You will become a ruthless breeding machine.

The object of your reproduction is determined by your bloodline.

Currently breedingable animals: Human, Magic Explosion Frog, Gray Dwarf, Johnny Turtle, Thunder Dragon, Harpy...

After each superbreeding event ends.

You will lose 1/5 of your lifespan.

Each super-breeding will produce at least 100,000 target units.

Units spawned through super-breeding will be unconditionally loyal to you.

"This..."

"This is ridiculous!"

"Giving birth to a baby is one thing, but why would it give birth to a frog?!"

Roger was internally ranting.

The only highlight of this specialty is the ability to rapidly build up an army.

Moreover, the unit types revealed are completely trustworthy.

As long as there are no psychological barriers.

This item is very suitable for people who follow the path of "Divine Kingdom Practitioner".

One-fifth of one's lifespan plus a month of confinement can be exchanged for 100,000 extremely loyal believers.

Roger believes many people would be willing to do it.

It's a pity.

He doesn't want to now!

"This specialty is also destined to be useless..."

"Unless I suddenly lose my mind and give birth to 100,000 monsters, then kill them to farm stats or experience..."

While thinking this way.

A strange tremor suddenly ran through Roger's heart.

Countless pairs of prying eyes flashed around him.

Then it was stopped by a beam of azure light.

"It's the Queen..."

Roger understood perfectly.

That moment.

The Divine Art Badge pressed against his chest became scorching hot.

"The Queen's Right Hand: The Sea Serpent Queen shielded you from the malicious detection of numerous unknown powerful beings..."

"Warning: The divine power of the Divine Art Badge is about to be exhausted..."

The red text just flashed by.

A barefoot, slender, dark-haired woman emerged from the badge.

She looks a bit like Cecilia.

It also resembles some of the Queen's clones that Roger once saw.

"You're really good at causing trouble. I never expected the divine power stored in the badge to be used up so quickly..."

The beautiful woman smiled and said:

"Let me introduce myself... never mind, there's no time, let's skip this part!"

"You should know very well who I am. I can tell you clearly that I have lost all my divine power and am no different from an ordinary superhuman..."

"Don't you want to do something outrageous?"

As he spoke.

Her body suddenly pressed against mine.

The refreshing aroma stimulated Roger's senses.

The latter immediately became excited:

"Something... something out of line?"

The beautiful woman's eyes were alluring, and her voice was melodious. "Mmm..."

"Anything is fine with me!"

"Anyway, I'll disappear in a few hours, and my true self won't notice anything..."

"Don't you really want something more exciting?"

As they were talking.

She had wrapped herself around Roger like an octopus.

But Roger hesitated instead:

"Is everything really okay?"

"If this goes too far, won't the Queen be angry...?"

The woman said with a smile, "She'll only get angry if you don't go too far."

As he spoke.

Her little hand slid down Roger's chest.

As they glided along...

Her hand suddenly froze.

Because her head had already left her neck.

Blood stained the Red Moon.

On the data panel.

"Notification: You have killed the ' Sea Serpent Queen's clone' (Transcendent/Elite/Dried-up Divine Power)"

"Extermination Order: Your Ocean Authority Rank +0.06"

"It's alright."

Roger sheathed his knife, somewhat disheartened.

The Sea Serpent Queen's Divine Crest gradually faded away.

It eventually turned gray.

This means that the item has become completely unusable.

To reactivate it, you'd have to reconnect with the Queen herself.

"It has indeed been a long time since I've seen the Queen."

"I really miss it."

"Especially the Divine Art Dagger..."

Roger thought of it.

Kuynam.

The Arctic Ocean.

Suddenly, giant waves thousands of meters high rose from the calm sea.

Under the terrified gazes of the sea monsters.

Clumps of water resembling snake heads emerged from the giant waves.

The snakehead was speeding away.

They all turned into frost.

It eventually swept across all the islands in the Arctic Ocean.

at the same time.

A terrifying divine power spread across the entire world.

Along with it came the voice that struck fear into the Divine Kingdom Practitioner in the Arctic Ocean:

"Submission".

"Submission".

"Or submit!"

The terrible sound reached their ears.

It exploded like thunder.

Most Divine Kingdom Practitioner have lost their clear will.

Not to mention the unusual hint of anger that was lurking in that otherwise indifferent and aloof voice.

On this day.

A swarm of extremely cold snakes swept Quinan Eight Seas.

The Sea Serpent Queen officially displayed her power to the world for the first time since becoming immortal.

All the seas bowed their heads.

After absorbing countless positions related to the ocean realm.

The following day at noon.

High Priestess Cecilia announced this on the Thousand Serpent Island.

The church was renamed "Ocean".

The Sea Serpent Queen has been promoted to "Ocean Overlord," a title with greater authority and a wider domain.

This also occurred after Kuinan went into hiding.

The first Immortal-grade Lord born on the native Quinan Star.

That concludes the discussion.

The Quinan Star has officially entered a new era of Ocean Overlord.

These are the things that happened in Quenan.

Roger, of course, had no idea.

Even if I knew...

He won't change what he just did.

After all, what bad intentions could Roger possibly have?

He was only interested in what the Extermination Order might offer.

Moreover, he also believed it.

A mere clone on the verge of collapse cannot affect his close relationship with the Queen.

Especially after he obtained the key to Heaven Path Ascension.

The balance of negotiations during the cooperation between the two parties will tilt slightly in Roger's favor.

Command Room.

Roger quickly left the seat that belonged to "Starship Gunner".

The power of the Aerospace Cannon is indeed remarkable.

However, the impact it brings is also enormous.

Roger also noticed the jolt.

What's even more speechless is...

According to the large screen display.

After that shot was fired.

The next launch will take more than a month! Although it is said to be due to the lack of "advanced cooling chips".

But this sage's time is a bit too long.

Considering that the actual effect of the Aerospace Cannon is not as intimidating as it looks.

At the same time, Roger was also unable to dig it out from under the beluga whale's belly.

He simply started taking it apart himself.

Thanks to the Ammunition Expert's superb mechanical knowledge.

Roger successfully obtained the most important chip module for the giant cannon.

Most of these chips have low integrity.

Especially tracking chips.

This thing is almost unusable.

However, chips such as those for "positioning", "algorithms", and "aiming" still have a limited lifespan.

Roger could use them on the "Little Firebird" sniper rifle.

"The chip modules are basically complete..."

"Now all that's missing is a Sky Prism!"

Roger exited the command center while thinking about it.

After thoroughly searching every corner of the Escape Pod.

He then focused his attention on the three 'arcade machines' in the very center.

"How do you use this thing?"

Roger randomly selected one and swiped it with his Governor License.

Buzz buzz buzz! The big screen first flickered with a black and white screen.

Immediately afterwards.

Its background became an endless starry sky.

Lines of notifications floated by.

"Enable ' Moon Simulator '?"

"Initializing..."

Please choose your starship—

1. UFO (Base firepower 10 / Ultimate skill charge damage 800)

2. Butterfly (Base firepower 20 / Ultimate skill charge damage 1200)

3. Superpower 9 (Base firepower 40 / Special attack charge damage 2000)

..."

In a short time.

Dozens of flat graphics, resembling starships and somewhat airplanes, appeared before Roger.

It's a pity.

Initial startup.

He could only choose the UFO with the lowest firepower.

All other options are grayed out.

"Why does this interface look a bit like 'Raiden'?"

After making your selection.

Roger noticed a rudimentary starship appearing at the bottom of the large screen.

He can move up, down, left, and right.

Pressing the fire button on the left will fire a series of bullets the size of millet grains.

Very soon.

The background of the starry sky began to slowly descend.

It appeared that Roger was piloting the starship, slowly flying through the endless starry sky.

Not long after.

An evil red triangle airplane appeared at the top of the screen!

Roger was about to use the UFO to shoot down the enemy.

Who knew that at this very moment...

The data bar suddenly started moving!

"Entrance detected. Enter ' Two-Dimensional World: Moon Simulator '?"

"Ah?"

Roger paused for a moment.

"How can they even get in here...?"

Just as he was hesitating.

A series of red triangular machines appeared at the top of the large screen.

When Roger's gaze focused on these planes.

He was shocked to find that his Sin Mark had lit up!

The next second.

Roger chose to enter without hesitation!...
