The moment the controlled unmanned aerial cavalry started up, an ominous red glow began to spread across its entire body.
"Activate the aircraft self-destruct program. Data analysis suggests she is probably a First Generation Super Soldier."
"The explosion should be powerful enough to seriously injure her. Snipers, provide uninterrupted covering fire. Move out—for My God Karl! Charge, charge, charge!"
The Taotie's communications entered Ashe's mind.
Ashe was running when she slightly turned her head and dodged another bullet.
Within her line of sight, two aircraft behind her were charging straight at her.
Three Taotie aerial cavalry units ahead of her were about to rush over her head.
In the distance, Taotie snipers were continuously pouring bullets in Ashe's direction.
At that moment, Ashe was surrounded on all sides. Even if she could rely on an explosive burst of power to swiftly deal with the two airships behind her, the Taotie overhead would quickly seize Soton.
If she dealt with the three Taotie overhead, she would probably have trouble dodging the airships behind her.
What was more, Ashe had no means of displacement at the moment. With three Taotie moving at high speed, one or two were bound to slip through.
It was not that Ashe was weak. Rather, as a First Generation Super Soldier, she was now facing the shortcomings of her abilities head-on.
Several possible solutions flashed rapidly through her mind.
The wisest choice was undoubtedly to deal with the danger behind her.
As for Soton, she could only make a choice.
But that approach did not suit Ashe's personality.
What was more, it went against the meaning of cultivation as a martial artist.
Every difficulty had a solution. Confidence was the summit.
In her previous life, she had had no choice and could only give up. For the sake of survival, she had been forced to compromise.
Having been reborn, she did not want to live that way again. She had the system and had become the God of Thunder.
This time, Ashe chose to have it all.
The Naginata vanished into thin air. Ashe stopped as if she had given up resisting, standing motionless where she was.
Airships, Taotie, bullets.
Every threat came straight at her.
It seemed that in the next moment, they would tear Ashe to pieces.
But lightning flashed through Ashe's eyes.
Violent thunder erupted from beneath Ashe's feet. In an instant, Ashe slowly floated into the air, while savage lightning condensed into a sphere at her chest.
Ashe reached out and grasped it. The lightning burst apart in her hand like a blooming flower!
She seized the hilt of a blade that appeared from nowhere!
At that moment, Ashe had only one thought.
No one could force her to retreat, and there was no shackle she could not break.
If there was one, Ashe would cut it apart with a single slash!
Born fearless! Fight until the final chapter!
With the might of purple lightning and golden light!
Commanding dreams of fleeting destruction!
Whether it was fearless attachment!
Or blind, frenzied desire!
Thoughtless! No thought!
Beneath this blade, everything was but a fleeting illusion!
The next moment, Ashe drew the sharp, edge-less blade.
And in that instant—
people could see only one color between heaven and earth.
The purple that symbolized thunder.
"Boom!"
The roar of the thunderstorm echoed several streets away.
The savage lightning shattered the ground inch by inch.
In that instant, no one knew what that slash had severed.
In the instant afterward, all people could see was scorched blackness covering the ground.
Heaven and earth fell silent at that moment.
The two Taotie squads had also become part of the dust!
"Whoa, holy crap! That divine big sis is fierce!"
"I won't eat anymore! I don't want to eat anymore, okay?!"
Covering his charred tail, Soton ran all the way to the end of the street, chased by lightning while pretending to be dead.
He had just started to breathe a sigh of relief.
When Soton looked back, a purple blade was pointed straight at his red eyes.
Ashe coldly demanded without expression, "What do you want to eat?!"
A good crocodile knew when to advance or retreat, and a good fish knew when to cower!
"Dirt! I'll eat dirt!"
For the sake of survival, the newly revived ancient god shouted!
"Good! Eat up!"
Ashe decided to help him fulfill his wish. She pointed the blade at Soton and gestured with her eyes.
Looking at the scorched ground, Soton wanted to ask: Divine big sis, are you serious?
Just then, a fragrant breeze swept over.
Two hands reached around from behind Ashe and rested on her body.
Ashe had originally intended to turn around and slash, but that familiar fragrance—
made her abandon the idea.
Before Ashe could speak, a soft, warm body pressed against her from behind.
Silky black hair fell over Ashe's shoulder, covering the cleavage on her chest.
Part of the clothing there had been completely turned to nothingness when Ashe drew her blade just now.
Arms wrapped around Ashe's slender waist.
A voice brimming with allure came from behind Ashe.
"How is it? Have you missed me?"
"I told you we would meet again!"
"You've made even me, the Queen, quite smitten today!"
Side Quest: A Second Encounter with the Demon Queen! She has appeared again! Her target is still you! Respond to her favor, clearly reject her, or choose a compromise! This time, you must make a choice. Quest Objective: Increase the Demon Queen's favorability! Completion Reward: 3,000 Nurturing Points.
Ashe turned her head and met Morgana's gaze as she peered over.
Without arranging it beforehand, the two smiled at the same time.
As for Soton—should I eat, divine big sis?
Meanwhile, even though Ashe was in contact with Morgana, the screen aboard Ju Xia Hao still showed only Ashe.
Believing that he understood the situation at the scene, Dukao's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed.
Dukao turned to Lian Feng.
"Have the relevant personnel seal off the corresponding streets immediately!"
"Also, find out where Lena is. Tell her there's no need to hurry. The problem has been resolved, but she still needs to go over there, bring Ashe back, and conduct an examination."
"Yes!" Lian Feng left the command room with the order. Dukao turned his gaze back to the screen.
The instant Soton descended upon China,
Deno Three, which had been handling heavy computational tasks and fully monitoring outer space,
had not discovered the small-scale battle taking place on the streets of Juxia City right away.
It was not until Qilin, who had been sent into a building for shelter, managed to get through to Rose on the phone.
Dukao hurried to the combat command room, arriving just as Lian Feng was contacting Lena while urgently mobilizing Deno Three for reconnaissance.
The two said nothing.
They simply stared at the large screen. As survivors of the Deno Civilization,
both knew very well the weakness almost all First Generation Super Soldiers shared.
They were fragile: high attack, low defense.
Even the finest deification engineering could not avoid this problem at the first-generation stage.
Super Soldiers at that time were not truly impervious to blades and bullets. Large-scale destructive weapons
could still destroy their bodies, and even the finest combat teams in the universe could complete a god-slaying operation through tactics.
They were not invincible in single combat. When facing a group assault, a First Generation Super Soldier could easily die.
And Ashe was still a First Generation Super Soldier. She had not even put on her armor yet! On top of that, she was facing the Taotie, who possessed abundant experience in slaying gods throughout the universe!
Staring intently at the situation on the screen, Dukao feared that Ashe might make even the slightest mistake and be hunted down by the Taotie.
Sending Lena to provide assistance as quickly as possible
was the only thing Dukao could do with the incomplete intelligence he had at the time.
Fortunately, Ashe had lived up to everyone's expectations. Fortunately, Ashe was strong.
When that dazzling, eye-catching lightning appeared on the large screen,
Dukao was shocked—and then he finally let out a sigh of relief.
The problem had now been resolved.
After issuing his orders, Dukao stared at the scorched ground below.
He muttered gravely, "This is also telling me that I don't have much time left! The Taotie are coming!"
