With the Power of Thunder... Uh, Never Mind! / The Doctor's Dedicated Gofer!

"It's nothing, just asking."

Elysia just smiled and didn't say anything more. She sat down quietly next to Ling Xi and then asked curiously, "By the way, you and your Doctor went out for a full half hour last night. Where did you go?"

"It's just by the river nearby, I just went out for a drive."

Ling Xi smiled as she looked at Elysia, and added, "I also talked to the Doctor about Shesha, and the main point was... the Doctor agreed to let me kill Shesha."

"Ha?"

Elysia was immediately surprised. Could it be that, given how protective Mobius was of Ling Xi, that girl would agree to do something so dangerous for Ling Xi?

However, Elysia knew that Ling Xi wouldn't lie to her. After all, it wasn't something that couldn't be said, and... even if Ling Xi were to lie to her, she would probably be planning to eliminate Shesha, but she was afraid that she would worry, so she would lie and say that nothing had happened. But now...

This guy said directly that he was going to deal with Shesha, so it's obviously the truth.

"Why didn't you discuss this with me first..."

Immediately, Elysia pouted in dissatisfaction and huffed, "Such an important matter, you only consulted with Mobius and ignored my opinion? Heh, as expected, in your eyes, I still can't compare to Mobius, hmph..."

"Forehead..."

Seeing that Elysia was a little angry, Ling Xi didn't know how to explain. After all... it was quite awkward, because subconsciously, when she considered this issue, she hadn't taken into account that Elysia would object...

"Hey, well... but didn't I tell you right away?"

Ling Xi quickly walked to Elysia's side, gently hugged her, and said in a flattering tone, "Besides, I won't do anything I'm not sure of. Destroying Shesha is a very simple matter for me, and I don't need to use the power I had in Changkong City last time!"

"Snort..."

Elysia still seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but she knew that this matter could no longer be stopped. After all, Mobius had always wanted Shesha's sample, and Ling Xi, because of Mobius's ideas, had always wanted to kill Shesha.

This guy had temporarily put aside the idea because Mobius objected, but now that Mobius has agreed, it should be a done deal!

Poor Shesha, he's about to become experience!

When are you leaving?

Knowing that the matter could not be changed, Elysia had other plans.

"That depends on the negotiations between the Doctor and headquarters."

Ling Xi smiled slightly and said, "After all, the headquarters offended the Doctor quite a bit the day before yesterday. Now that they want our help, shouldn't they show some sincerity? So... when I take action depends on the sincerity of the headquarters. In short, it's up to the Doctor."

"Hmm... that's right, that makes sense."

Elysia nodded thoughtfully, completely agreeing with Ling Xi's words!

"That..."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a smile, "When you set off, take me with you, okay? After all, it's really inconvenient to go on a long trip without a girl by your side. You won't even have anyone to hug when you want to."

"Ha..."

Ling Xi was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously wanted to refuse, "Elysia, I'm not going on vacation, I'm going to fight. You're coming with me..."

"What? You can't even protect me?"

Elysia scoffed softly, "Didn't you say you could easily defeat Shesha? Then why are you afraid I'll come along? Are you lying?"

"Forehead..."

Ling Xi was momentarily at a loss for words. Indeed, if what she had just said was true, eliminating Shesha was merely a matter of lifting a finger, then bringing Elysia along wouldn't be a problem, and besides...

Elysia is no ordinary girl; she possesses at least the strength of an S-rank Poisoned Pupae member, although that strength is completely insignificant compared to Shesha.

"Alright then, but..."

In the end, Ling Xi nodded in agreement, but also instructed, "It's fine if you like to run around normally, but when we get to Changkong City, remember to stay close to me, understand?"

OK!

Elysia nodded decisively in agreement.

"There's one more thing..."

Thinking of this, Ling Xi said in a serious tone, "Ahem, well, because the matter of eliminating Shesha might happen in the next day or two, so, Elysia, I need to rest well and recharge my energy these next two days, understand?"

"Cut..."

Elysia rolled her eyes at Ling Xi and laughed, "Are you scared?"

Ling Xi "..."

"I told you, I need to rest well and get my energy back to fight Shesha!"

Ling Xi was certainly not afraid, but... Elysia was just too strong.

"So, you're still scared?"

Elysia was still staring at Ling Xi with a mischievous smile.

Ling Xi "..."

"Haha, okay, okay, I'm just teasing you."

Finally, Elysia smiled and patted Ling Xi's hair, then turned her head slightly and said with a smile, "I know this is important, so you should rest well these next couple of days, but..."

Elysia smiled at Ling Xi, her lips close to his ear, and whispered, "After we defeat Shesha, I can stay with you..."

"Etc..."

Seeing that Elysia was about to set a death flag, Ling Xi interrupted Elysia's spellcasting with a stun and said, "If there's something to do, either do it now or wait until you get back. Don't set such a flag."

"Hehe, okay..."

To this, Elysia simply shrugged and smiled, "Then I'll listen to you. We'll talk about it when we get back. Remember to get some rest..."

Chapter 208: With thunder... uh, never mind!

Ling Xi thought she would have to wait a while, since bickering among the higher-ups was a common occurrence. However, to her surprise, Ling Xi received the Doctor's combat orders just the day after Mobius agreed.

The speed of their attack surprised even Ling Xi. He later learned that the higher-ups of the Flame-Chasing Moths had originally planned to stall for time, but news suddenly came from the front lines that Shesha had begun to move towards Kyoto in the Far East. This startled the Far East representative at the United Nations, who immediately put pressure on the Flame-Chasing Moths. Subsequently, an agreement was reached, requiring Ling Xi to launch an attack.

After all, at this time, the Flame-Chasing Moths was still an organization under the United Nations and did not have that much power, so it still had to obey the arrangements of the United Nations!

Far East Changkong City Airport, local time, 11:00 AM...

"Wow, after half a month, I never thought I'd be back in Changkong City."

After getting off the plane, Ling Xi was filled with emotion. She had thought that Changkong City would be completely destroyed during the Third Honkai Eruption, but by a twist of fate, she changed the fate of Changkong City and the Far East, and even saved most of the people.

"Heh, Changkong City is already undergoing new planning and construction, I estimate..."

Elysia, who was accompanying them, also laughed and said, "In a year or two, Changkong City will be able to recover to about 70% or 80% of what it used to be. I can still come here to play then."

Ling Xi "..."

One or two years... Unfortunately, there probably aren't many Previous Era humans left with one or two years.

It's estimated that after the Fourth Fifth Herrscher, humanity will focus its main energy on survival, and building cities will probably be unlikely.

"Elysia, are you going to wait for me here, or come with me?"

Ling Xi glanced at the combat orders sent by Mobius. There were no fancy arrangements; the mission was simple: catch up with Shesha and eliminate him!

Of course, Mobius also borrowed two thousand troops from headquarters, but not for combat, but for the task of collecting samples after Ling Xi eliminated Shesha.

"Of course we'll go together. After all, I also want to witness the heroic figure of the hero who saved Changkong City in battle."

Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a half-smile, and casually brought up something that someone didn't want to remember.

Ling Xi: "..." Is this joke going to stay with me forever?

However, Ling Xi was too lazy to complain at this point, so she simply took Elysia with her and boarded the helicopter to set off!

About fifteen minutes later, Ling Xi arrived at Shesha's location. "Elysia, stay on the plane."

After giving Elysia a brief instruction, Ling Xi jumped off the plane. Although she didn't have spatial powers, the electromagnetic force could still provide her with some assistance, at least ensuring she wouldn't be killed by the fall.

At this point, Shesha had reached a size of fifty meters, and the energy level of the Honkai Energy was approaching the Judgment-class.

Of course, to Ling Xi, this was just a bug putting on a show!

"With thunder..."

Ling Xi raised her right hand, subconsciously wanting to shout out her lines again, but suddenly realized that Elysia was watching her from not far away, so...

"..."

Ling Xi decisively abandoned reciting her lines and directly activated the power of the Conquest Gem, releasing a golden lightning bolt several meters thick!

"Hooooooooo..."

Shesha immediately screamed and rolled around. After all, it was the power of Herrscher, and the damage it caused was far beyond what human weapons could do.

"Ignite!"

Then, Ling Xi used the power of the Plague Gem, and a huge fireball was thrown at Shesha!

So, the rocket overloaded... uh, cough cough, sorry, wrong story!

In short, although Ling Xi's attack was simple, it contained extremely strong Honkai Energy. After two moves, Shesha was already on the verge of death!

"Thunder Arrow!"

Ling Xi gently raised his right hand, forming a lightning arrow nearly ten meters long above his head. Ling Xi, Ling Xi pointed at Shesha!

"Whoosh!"

The lightning bolt pierced directly through Shesha's brain, and then...

Shesha has fallen!

The entire battle lasted less than half a minute...

"Whoosh..."

Ling Xi breathed a slight sigh of relief, then took out the detector given to her by Mobius to check Shesha, confirming that Shesha's vital signs had disappeared...

"Elysia, it's confirmed that you're safe. Let's start arranging for sample collection!"

Seeing that Shesha had been eliminated, Ling Xi decisively asked Elysia to help arrange the follow-up work. After all, commanding was not something she was good at, and since Elysia had come along, Ling Xi decisively handed the task over to Elysia.

"Understood. The data collection team is currently 5,000 meters away. The first squad will arrive in about two minutes!"

Elysia also began to make arrangements. Although the shock in her heart had not completely subsided, was this really Ling Xi? She was truly too strong!

After all, he had watched the video of the Flame-Chasing Moths eliminating Shesha several times. Not only did they sacrifice thousands of people, but they also spent nearly an hour luring Shesha into the ambush zone. Finally, under the saturation attack of air firepower and various ground weapons, they finally eliminated her. It took almost three hours in total.

And Ling Xi...

He jumped off the plane, unleashed lightning with a Q, summoned flames with a W, and finished off the enemy with a lightning arrow using an E. The whole process took less than half a minute, and he didn't even use his ultimate!

Yes, that's right. Elysia was very certain that the abilities Ling Xi had just used were all minor skills. After all, she had witnessed Ling Xi unleash his ultimate moves back in Changkong City, such as Myriad Manifestations Pull and Unbreakable Slash. Only those could be called ultimate moves!

That's the difference.

It's still the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths, and it's still the same group of familiar faces...

Watching the live stream from the front, they were still shocked, even though they were mentally prepared. Because last time Ling Xi fought the Herrscher of Thunder to a standstill, their analysis concluded that Ling Xi was not much stronger than the Herrscher of Thunder, but still capable of dealing with her!

Because they didn't know exactly how strong the Herrscher of Thunder was, they might have made a slight misjudgment of Ling Xi's strength!

I think the Herrscher of Thunder is just so-so, she only has slightly higher damage. I could do that too!

But this time, in the battle against Shesha, the human forces went to great lengths, expending countless firepower and paying a price of thousands, just to barely eliminate the thirty-meter-level Shesha. Ling Xi, on the other hand, faced a fifty-meter-level Shesha that was almost twice as strong as before, and simply took it down with a few simple skills. Therefore...

"Gentlemen."

The speaker slowly began, "I think we should revise our attitude and plans towards Ling Xi and Mobius."

Without comparison, there's no difference. The previous Herrscher of Thunder might have given them the illusion that they could do the same, but this time with Shesha, there's been a clear comparison. So now they understand very well Ling Xi's strength...

It is absolutely beyond what humans can contend with, at least... it is beyond what humans can contend with now.

Of course, if humanity is willing to pay any price, then eliminating Ling Xi should still be possible. However, this is just a hypothetical scenario. After all, Ling Xi is ultimately on humanity's side. Who the hell would be so bored as to go to such lengths to eliminate Ling Xi?

Chapter 209: The Doctor's Personal Tool!

In Changkong City, with the help of Ling Xi and the use of various advanced techniques by the autopsy team, Shesha's sample was basically dissected in three hours.

Eyeballs, heart, fangs, scales, and so on—basically everything that needed to be dissected has been dissected. Finally...
