The Godslayer's Spear: The Divine Key's Original Form! / Ambush on the Herrscher of Wind!

After thinking for a moment, Elysia smiled at Ling Xi and asked, "So, what do you want to eat tonight? We can go grocery shopping while we're at it."

Are you making dinner?

Ling Xi seemed a little surprised and laughed, "Elysia, you're not joking, are you?"

"Hmph, what, is that not allowed?"

Seeing that Ling Xi seemed to doubt her, Elysia's face also showed a hint of dissatisfaction, and she snorted, "Don't forget that I personally cooked dinner back in the temporary laboratory. By the way... did you figure out which dish it was back then?"

"Uh... cough cough, well, because it's been so long, I've forgotten what dishes were served, but..."

The best answer to this kind of question is not to answer, and Ling Xi clearly understood this, smiling as she said, "I only remember that everything was delicious."

"Cut..."

Elysia pursed her lips, then snorted, "Hmph, it seems you really don't know what I'm capable of. Just you wait, tonight..."

As she spoke, Elysia looked at Ling Xi with a determined expression and snorted, "If I don't get you pregnant with food tonight, I'll take your surname!"

Ling Xi: "???" Wait, shouldn't I be the one saying this line?

Of course, Elysia didn't hear Ling Xi's inner complaints. She stepped on the gas and headed straight for the supermarket...

"Heh heh, how about it?"

That evening, looking at the table laden with delicious-looking dishes, Elysia wore a smug expression.

"I'm sorry, Elysia, I was wrong..."

Ling Xi clasped her hands together, sincerely apologizing, and smiled, "I shouldn't have underestimated you this afternoon, I'm really... so sorry!"

"Hmph, good to know."

Elysia nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "Alright, since you apologized so sincerely, I won't hold it against you."

"Elysia, Lady Alicia!"

Ling Xi thanked them again before picking up his chopsticks to start eating. After all, this was the first real dinner prepared by his wife, Elysia, and it smelled and looked delicious!

"Sister Elysia, can we eat now?"

Ling was practically drooling. After getting used to her sister's cooking, it was nice to change things up once in a while. And it smelled so good!

"Mmm, eat up, eat up!"

Elysia smiled and immediately told everyone to start eating...

"Mmm... it tastes amazing, it's already at the level of a professional chef."

After taking a bite, Ling Xi didn't hold back in giving her praise.

"Uh-huh!"

Seele nodded in agreement, "It's so delicious! It tastes much better than what I make myself!"

"More than!"

Just then, Ling nodded silently and said innocently, "If you ask me, this tastes even better than what my sister makes!"

"Hehe."

Elysia was naturally happy to receive the praise, but she couldn't help but smile at Rin and say, "Rin, don't let your sister hear you say that, she might be unhappy, right?"

"No way!"

In response, Ling stated righteously, "After all, I was telling the truth."

"I love honest children. Here, Bell, try this!"

Elysia looked at Rin with satisfaction and even picked up a piece of meat for her.

"Elysia, Sister Alicia."

Ling naturally accepted everything offered and happily ate it all; after all... who doesn't like to eat meat?

"I have to say, Elysia, you've been keeping this a secret for a long time. I've known you for so long, and I had no idea you were such a good cook."

While eating, Ling Xi also wanted to complain that Elysia was hiding things too well. Elysia had been together for three months, but she had no idea about it.

"Hehe, of course there's a reason for that."

To this question, Elysia simply smiled, then looked at Ling Xi and asked, "For example... if I asked you, 'My cooking is so delicious, would you want to eat it every day?'"

"Of course I want to!"

As soon as Elysia finished speaking, Ling Xi replied without hesitation, "With such delicious food, who would want to order takeout?"

"Isn't that enough?"

Elysia shrugged and laughed, "Because if it's at home, once someone finds out you're a good cook, then... the job of cooking at home will most likely fall to you."

Ling Xi: "..." Holy crap, this is true!

Just like back then, I impulsively tried to cook a dish by watching a video by Master Kuan You, showed it off to my family, and then... the nightmare began.

So even though I really want to complain, I have to say that Elysia is the real master of slacking off, just like Sister Ta!

"Alright, eat up, eat up..."

Elysia shoved a piece of meat into Ling Xi's mouth and laughed, "I prepared dinner for you today just to let you know that I'm here and you won't go hungry, but..."

Elysia smiled slightly and said, "I'll only cook dinner for today. Starting tomorrow, let's eat out instead. It's too much trouble to cook ourselves. Look at my hands, such beautiful hands, and I'm using them to chop vegetables. Don't you think it's a waste?"

"Hmm... It's a bit of a shame that I can't eat Elysia's cooking anymore, but cooking for myself is really troublesome."

Seele looked somewhat regretful, but she didn't refute Elysia's words, because she also knew that cooking was a very troublesome thing, time-consuming and laborious.

"Oh, what a pity..."

Ling Xi sighed silently. After all, how could he force Elysia to do something she didn't want to do? Although... it would be a real pity if he couldn't eat Elysia's cooking as often in the future!

So, that very night, Ling Xi actually got pregnant by Elysia using food. I have to say, Elysia, you're still the stronger one!

Of course, Ling Xi got revenge for being pregnant by Elysia that very night. After all... that's what they call a gentleman who doesn't hold grudges overnight!

Chapter 236: The God-Slaying Spear, the Initial Form of the Divine Key!

On the continent of Oceania, storms rage once again, seemingly because humanity's nuclear weapons have angered the Fourth Herrscher, causing the Herrscher to resume its actions and retaliate madly against the survivors of Oceania.

Faced with this situation, neither the local troops nor the Flame-Chasing Moths dared to engage in battle rashly. After all, everyone knew that going to fight the Fourth Herrscher now would be a completely reckless act!

In this situation, preserving combat strength is the wisest choice. Moreover, there are still at least 100 million survivors in Oceania. Taking these survivors to safety is the most important task at present!

As for fighting the Fourth Herrscher, at least... not yet. We need to wait until Mobius and the others find a way before we can begin.

Fortunately, their efforts to avoid combat were quite effective. Under the guidance of professional troops, a large number of survivors were well protected, and artificial satellites could monitor the location of the Fourth Herrscher in real time. As a result, often when the Fourth Herrscher arrived in a city, not a single person could be seen.

As for ordinary Honkai Beast...

To be honest, with the new ammunition provided by Mobius, humans can now inflict extremely strong damage on Honkai Beast, which are gradually no longer a significant threat to humanity.

However, the only drawback of the new weapon is that the quantity is too small and the reliability is not enough. Nearly one-third of the ammunition does not meet the standards. But in any case, this is the only weapon that can pose a threat to Honkai Beast at this stage.

As for mass production, that's unlikely at this stage. Mobius and May don't have time to perfect the new weapon right now, and besides...

One of the raw materials for the new weapon is Honkai Energy, but there aren't many experts researching Honkai Energy at the moment, and the gap in strength between them and Mobius is too vast, and...

Honkai Energy is not easy to obtain!

Thus, due to humanity's delays, the Fourth Herrscher's revenge plan was severely hampered, and it took three days to occupy half of the cities in Oceania, and in the occupied cities...

A week later, the cities of Oceania were almost completely destroyed. The surviving humans could only eke out a living beneath the ruins. Fortunately, the Honkai Energy released by the Fourth Herrscher wasn't too strong, otherwise...

Oceania is also likely to become a dead zone!

As for the human survivors, their numbers are less than a third of what they were before the Honkai, and those who remain are also on the verge of collapse, after all...

Food, drinking water, medical supplies, and everything else are scarce. It would be a miracle if they could survive for a week!

However, perseverance paid off, because within that week, Mobius and his colleagues, along with other scholars who had come to investigate, finally achieved a significant breakthrough in their research on the Space Core...

The photoelectric theory jointly researched by two doctors with Mei in their names has also been successfully weaponized. At the most dangerous moments, human beings... can often burst into potential that transcends all!

The following day, the United Nations convened another meeting, where Mobius showcased the new weapon he and Mebius had jointly developed: the Plasma Space Cannon!

"Gentlemen, you should all be very clear about the purpose of my meeting today. There is only one purpose: to eliminate the Fourth Herrscher."

As Mobius spoke, he projected his weapon design using a hologram, saying, "This is a new weapon that Miss Möbius and I developed, the Plasma Space Cannon. You can see the specific data here..."

As he spoke, Mobius then demonstrated his space cannon design.

This is a new type of weapon with Space Core technology support provided by Mobius, who was responsible for the integration of the core with optoelectronic energy, and designed by professionals from various fields.

It consists of two main parts: an attack device that launches plasma and Space Core that has already launched the plasma and modified its spatial rules!

The space cannon is powered by Space Core. Once fully charged, it can fire plasma rays that ignore all space and penetrate all obstacles!

Of course, the above is just an advertising effect; the actual effect will naturally be greatly reduced, since this thing is currently extremely unstable and must be driven by Space Core, so...

There is only one of its kind in the world, and it requires a huge amount of energy to start. Even with the most advanced energy technology available today, it would take at least six hours to fully charge!

As Mobius explained, "You should all understand the performance of this weapon, so I won't go into details. You just need to know that this weapon can directly attack the Fourth Herrscher. And the topic of our meeting today is... how to lure the Fourth Herrscher to the designated location."

The Plasma Space Cannon, humanity's only God-Slaying Spear, can also be said to be... the prototype of the Divine Key!

If the space cannon hits the Fourth Herrscher, humanity might win. But if it misses or fails to inflict critical damage on the Fourth Herrscher, the consequences will be dire.

Being retaliated against by the Fourth Herrscher is a minor matter. The most important thing is that once the Fourth Herrscher steals the Space Core from the spatial cannon, then humanity can basically declare the game over.

After all, the Space Core is almost the only way for humanity to deal with the Fourth Herrscher. Therefore, this ambush plan must succeed and cannot fail, because failure would mean the demise of human civilization!

After the meeting began, each party presented their ideas and battle plans. The ambush site was ultimately chosen in a coastal city in northern Oceania. Fighter jets were used to lure the Fourth Herrscher into the air, and then...

The aircraft carrier, equipped with a space cannon, will conduct a sniping attack from a distance of twenty nautical miles. Immediately after the space cannon fires, regardless of the outcome, the advanced fighter jets on the carrier will take off with the Space Core and retreat towards the Mu Continent at all costs. In this way...

If the Fourth Herrscher can be successfully killed, all the better. But if not, the Space Core can still be left for humanity, giving them a chance to turn the tide!

Of course, if this ambush fails, then humanity will probably have little chance to ambush again. After all, the Herrscher isn't stupid. Now that they know that humans can harm their weapons, they certainly won't be so reckless in the future.

It's impossible for Herrscher to know that humans have the ability to destroy them, yet still become arrogant and reckless, ultimately leading to their complete downfall.

No way, no way, there can't really be such a stupid Herrscher who is clearly very strong and can win by playing it safe, but ends up crashing and burning because of overconfidence, right?

Huh? You're saying I'm alluding to someone? Um...

Ahem, it's all an illusion, just an illusion. I'm definitely not implying anything about any river...

"Smack!"

"This is the time of judgment!"

Chapter 237: The Herrscher of Wind's Ambush!

"Ling Xi, do you think we can succeed this time?"

At home, Elysia watched the live stream while asking Ling Xi questions. The live stream was, of course, showing the scene of the second battle against the Herrscher of Wind.

After all, this is a matter concerning the fate of all mankind, so this time it was broadcast live globally, except for the Oceania region where the signal has been blocked.

"It should work."

Ling Xi nodded slightly, thinking that this battle should be the one in which humanity defeats the Fourth Herrscher. After all, in the original manga, humanity had defeated thirteen Herrscher, including the Herrscher of Wind.

So, if nothing unexpected happens this time, we should be able to kill or severely injure the Herrscher of Wind. Human potential is not to be underestimated!

"Wow, you're saying that without any real conviction..."

Elysia couldn't help but mutter a complaint...

Ling Xi "..."

Alright, let's see how the battle goes first...

At the Flame-Chasing Moths, Mobius was also there, watching the trajectory of the Fourth Herrscher while remotely controlling the space cannon. Actually, she really wanted to go to the aircraft carrier to personally debug it, since besides Mebius, she was the only one who was most familiar with this thing!

Of course, this is impossible. After all, Mobius is too important now. Neither the United Nations nor the Flame-Chasing Moths would allow Mobius to go to such a dangerous place.

Therefore, in the end, Mobius could only come to the headquarters of the Flame-Chasing Moths to remotely command and observe this operation!

"Third squad reporting, target is en route to designated location!"
