"She really did cry... Wait, don't come any closer! Don't come any closer! Just stand there!!"

Compared to her usual calm and composed tone, Chen Huijie's reprimand sounded somewhat flustered.

Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, then turned to look over.

Chen Huijie stood guard beside him and Talulah, sword in hand. The person standing before her was…

The ultimate, invincible, youthful, and beautiful Sarkaz girl—W.

"The evil spirit of the Tower of Babel is crying like this, it's hilarious."

W clutched her stomach, laughing until her stomach hurt.

Lin Lu said calmly, "I saw her."

W's laughter sounded like a cassette tape jammed, almost making me gasp for breath.

This is an unspoken understanding between the two; they both know who they are talking about.

"Where is she?!" W roared, instantly revealing his true nature.

"She's in my heart. Alright, let's bring the whole city to a standstill first, and we'll talk about everything later."

Lin Lu stood up, holding the unconscious Talulah, who was like a giant doll to be manipulated.

Perhaps because the scene before her was so overwhelming, W felt her mind become even more confused. In her eyes, Lin Lu was affectionately embracing the black snake; the feeling was simply indescribable.

"Anyway, anyway..." W held his head in his hands, finally managing to sort out his thoughts. He turned to Chen Huijie, extending his right hand, "Take out the key to the core city! The one Misha handed over to the Guard Bureau, I know it's on you! If we don't do it now, it'll be too late! If we don't stop this city, we'll soon reach the border, and then we'll all be doomed!"

"...I can't trust a serial killer."

Chen Huijie had not forgotten what W had done in the Longmen slums.

"Laughable, then you probably don't trust yourself."

"really."

Chen Huijie agreed with W's sarcasm.

“Enough. Give me the key. I may not be a good person, but... I can't let the Speaker's hard work go to waste. That's my reason, and it's far more practical than the idea of ​​saving the world,” W said resolutely. She was even prepared to snatch it from Chen Huijie.

"Give it to her."

Lin Lu shoved the limp Talulah into Chen Huijie's arms. Chen Huijie was holding a longsword in both hands, so she couldn't hug or push her away.

"you you you--"

"Isn't she your sister? Don't worry, I've already killed that black snake. False gods and demons are no different; just kill it."

Lin Lu reached into Chen Huijie's pocket, disregarding her opinion, and threw the core city key to W.

W was stunned. She was a little confused by Lin Lu's unwavering trust and accepted it blankly.

"Wow... I'm starting to like you a little."

"No thanks, it would be too much trouble for you to like me."

Lin Lu refused immediately, but W was not annoyed. Instead, he revealed a mischievous smile.

"Just let me stop this thing! Uh, I mean, I'm using the control panel to input commands... How do you pronounce this thing again?"

"Are you even capable?"

Chen Huijie, holding Talulah, questioned W.

"Shut up, I know, I know... it must be... to feed all the people (Ursus language)?"

W breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the blue light successfully illuminate on the control panel. He said confidently, "Everyone, hold on tight. I don't know if this will be a one-way trip! Don't get thrown out if you do."

However, the core city did not stop there.

I don’t even know if it’s just my imagination, but the movement speed in the core city seems to have increased a lot.

Chen Huijie's expression changed. She looked into the distance and could even see the faint outline of the Dragon Gate!

"What are you doing!"

Chen Huijie burst out with curses: "Is this your conspiracy?!"

"Don't make a sound."

W's face turned deathly pale. She bit her lip and kept searching on the control panel for a way to stop the core city.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as she hoped. She scratched her head, looking at the data on the control panel with worry.

"Why...why won't it stop?!" W raised the control panel as if to smash it on the ground, but she held back her anxiety and didn't do so; her raised hand trembled.

"Alright, let me take a look."

Lin Lu tiptoed and took the tablet from W's hand.

His finger traced across the control panel, and he immediately saw the reason.

"This key can only be used for startup, not emergency braking. Can't you even understand the official Ursus language?" Lin Lu held up the tablet and smacked W's head between his horns without any politeness. "You've gone stupid from not studying properly!"

"What do we do now?! You better think of something, you—"

W instinctively grabbed Lin Lu's collar, only realizing at this moment that when faced with problems, she, like those Rhodes Island operators from Babel, unconsciously relied on the man before her. It seemed that those who followed him had developed this habit over the past few years.

Did I say I couldn't do it?

Lin Lu smiled calmly, like a gentle spring breeze, which put people at ease.

Sure enough, no matter what difficulties this man encountered, he was always able to issue orders in the calmest and gentlest tone.

This time is the same, and the next time will be the same; it seems like it will always be like this.

That's why W hates Lawyer Lin.

She hated that someone as powerful as him couldn't even protect a Sarkaz!

Or perhaps... what exactly happened to Theresa back then that left the Doctor powerless?

"Take this as a souvenir, and remember to study hard in the future."

Lin Lu shoved the control panel back into W's hand and turned to extend his hand to Chen Huijie.

"Chixiao, lend it to me."

"what?"

Chen Huijie slowly typed a question mark. She wanted to remind Lin Lü that not just anyone could wield the Crimson Sky Sword. Initially, she was wounded all over by the chaotic sword energy simply from touching the Crimson Sky. Now, she could wield the Crimson Sky at will, but she didn't know how much blood she had shed to gain the Crimson Sky's recognition as its master.

"A fine sword."

Lin Lu easily grasped the Crimson Sky Sword, casually creating a series of sword flowers. The sword's charm was as mellow as wine, intoxicating to all.

The Crimson Sky Sword rang out clearly and brightly, appearing extremely joyful; even a famous sword deserves a wise master.

"???"

Chen Huijie felt cheated on, as if she had been cuckolded. Her once beloved Chixiao had run off with a bad man.

"...What are you going to do?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Chestra, ah."

Lin Lu slowly raised his head, gazing at the endless dark clouds, as if sensing something.

As the digitized spiritual domain expanded outwards, he saw the Patriots fighting against the Ursus regular army, and Amiya and her allies battling in the heart of the core city. He saw the Army Without Borders suppressing the Sarkaz mercenaries, and the Black Cloaks sent by Lungmen approaching the command tower. He saw spies from other nations. As the spiritual domain extended beyond the core city, he saw a surging torrent of steel—the combined First and Second Armies of Ursus, preparing to invade Lungmen.

"Okay."

Lin Lu held his sword in his hand, and an invisible pressure enveloped the city.

The entire city sensed a premonition and involuntarily stopped fighting, turning their heads to look at the command tower.

They saw a beam of light.

The Crimson Sky Sword Qi shone brightly like a torch, its blade reaching to the heavens and piercing the earth, its incomparably brilliant sword intent solidifying into reality.

"—This is the sword of the Emperor's Way."

The sword light reversed, and Lin Lu cleaved through the dark clouds with a single sword strike, slashing down on the core city of Chernobog!

The incandescent sword light blotted out the sky, and the core city crumbled in the radiance, with dust rising into the air, like the afterglow of the apocalypse.

In the core city, whether it was the Reunion Movement, the Sarkaz, or Ursus disguised as the regular army of the Reunion Movement, even the Black Cloaks were plunged into deep despair. No one could maintain their composure in the face of such a miracle. Their sight was robbed by the white light, their hearing by the deafening roar, and their senses remained unresponsive, as if their very humanity had been temporarily taken away. Under this terrifying power, no one could raise a weapon to attack the Scourge; they could only collapse to the ground, praying for an end to all of this.

Outside the core city, the Ursus First and Second Armies, which were advancing, hastily halted their advance.

At the Longmen Watchtower, Wei Yanwu, who witnessed all of this, trembled with fear.

He sensed the sword intent of Chixiao, the true sword of the Emperor.

This is absolutely not something Huijie could do.

Wei Yanwu took a deep breath...

"Could it be him?"

After an unknown amount of time, when the people in the core city realized that the dust had settled and they were still alive, they were speechless. The Reunion soldier tried to stand up and call out to his comrades, but the next moment, his outstretched hand trembled uncontrollably.

The dark clouds dispersed, leaving a clear cut in the sky. Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the land of the core city and the scene before everyone's eyes. An unforgettable sight unfolded before them, and those who had stood up earlier staggered and fell back to the ground.

The core city of Chernobog has been divided in two, the entire core city is now in two halves, and the cross-section of the city is crystal clear.

This steel city ultimately met its demise, stopping just outside the range of the defensive siege equipment at Lungmen, just outside the border.

Gazing at the immeasurable sword marks, stretching endlessly, the unparalleled sword intent still lingering on the ruins of the core city, everyone felt a profound sense of awe and fear. No city in this world could withstand this sword strike, nor could any monster stop it.

Inside the core city, regardless of faction, no one was willing to pick up a weapon and swing it at the person in front of them. Everyone lay on the ground, trembling, their legs weak, staring blankly in the direction where the command tower had once stood.

Outside the core city, the Ursus United Army Group.

These Ursus soldiers arrived filled with boundless passion and rage, eagerly anticipating the moment when the once-glorious city of Chernobog would breach the Dragon Gate. They were equipped with the finest weaponry, confident they could capture this jewel of Terra within a single day. They believed that war would end Ursus's internal strife. Whether it was the Council or the Cabinet, those who didn't want to die had to unite. Just like in the past, just like Ursus's glorious decade, only war could awaken this great nation!

But now they are filled with fear; their morale, once an invincible weapon, has been dealt a devastating blow.

Terror was written on the face of every Ursus soldier. They were Ursus soldiers, and they should have been fearless, but at this moment their knees felt numb and they could not even stand up.

As for the commander of the Ursus Army Group, his feelings were extremely complicated.

Now that the core city has been destroyed, there is no possibility of driving it towards Lungmen again, and their plan has fallen through.

If the combined army group continues to advance in this manner, they will be traitors who instigate war and rebels who destroy international friendship between Yan and Wu.

Without the Reunion Movement as a scapegoat, Ursus will lose its dominance in international public opinion and may even face encirclement and suppression by various countries. At that time, both the Ursus Council and the Cabinet will distance themselves from the First and Second Armies. Perhaps the lower-ranking soldiers will survive, but the commanders of this war must be publicly executed to salvage the situation of the world war.
