Chapter 952: Above Yangquan City
Chapter 952: Above Yangquan City
The news of a seventh-rank Blue Star powerhouse appearing above Yangquan City immediately drew widespread attention on the Skrull network.
In the past, Skrulls weren't unfamiliar with Blue Star humans visiting their planet. However, most of the Blue Star humans who came before had primarily ventured into the Wild Continent to gather materials from magical beasts. Even those who entered the cities did so cautiously and secretly.
Tina, on the other hand, was the first to brazenly fly above a city, releasing her oppressive aura that tormented the ordinary citizens. Moreover, Tina's flight speed wasn't fast (she often stopped to take photos), so her figure was captured by the cell phone cameras of nearby Skrull residents.
Tina's photos spread rapidly on the network, and the topic gained increasing momentum:
"Is this the seventh-rank Blue Star powerhouse in the photo? What an imposing golden armor!"
"Upon closer inspection, Blue Star humans look quite similar to us Skrulls. However, their yellow and white skin is quite ugly, far less aesthetically pleasing than our green skin!"
"This Blue Star human won't last long. Who gave her the nerve to fly above the city? She's just a seventh-rank."
"Haha, indeed. Once our god-tier arrives, she's as good as dead!"
"But, everyone, I have a question—If our god-tier goes to slay this Blue Star human, won't it affect Yangquan City below?
A fight between such powerful beings could easily destroy the city, right?!"
"True, it might very well destroy the city."
"According to official information, this Blue Star powerhouse is a mid-seventh-rank. If she fights a god-tier, at least a quarter of Yangquan's main district will be destroyed!"
"Are there any Yangquan residents here? Flee for your lives! Get out of the city if you can, it's too late otherwise!"
"I %@ (Skrull curse), I'm in Yangquan's main district! The Blue Star human's oppressive aura is making me feel like I'm better off dead, my spirit is on the verge of collapse!
Worse yet, we're stuck in a traffic jam! The roads out of the city are packed with floating cars, and my vehicle is trapped, unable to move... Help!"
...
The heated online discussions drew the attention of more Skrulls to Yangquan City, making Tina the center of focus.
Tina was unaware of these discussions on the Skrull network, and even if she knew, she wouldn't have cared.
So far, the Skrull god-tier had yet to appear.
Thus, Tina continued to use her oppressive aura to torment the Skrull residents in the city.
Under the immense mental torture, the Skrull residents felt every second pass like a year.
Their spirits were on the brink of breaking, and they were in a state of sheer agony.
All the residents in the main district were driving their floating cars, desperately trying to escape the city.
However, Tina had evenly distributed her oppressive aura throughout the main district. As long as they remained within the main district, they continued to suffer, even in their floating cars.
Yangquan City was too large, and too many people were trying to escape, causing severe traffic congestion. The city was filled with cries of anguish, making it seem like a living hell.
Tina continued to fly around with a smile, ignoring the cries of suffering.
...
5 minutes... 5 more minutes... Another 5 minutes...
On the 20th minute of Tina's arrival in Yangquan City, just as the ordinary residents were on the verge of numbness from the torment, a turning point finally arrived!
In the sky, a dazzling red mech arrived in Yangquan's main district through a spatial jump.
The pilot of this red mech was none other than the peak god-tier powerhouse, Plante. Plante had finally arrived!
After a lengthy meeting and a thorough understanding of the situation, Plante decided to come in person.
Although Tina was only a mid-seventh-rank, it seemed unnecessary for a peak god-tier like him to intervene.
However, based on the movements of Tina's two close friends, Morningstar the cat and Alyssa, they were expected to join her.
This situation was beyond the capabilities of a regular god-tier, and only a peak god-tier would suffice. Thus, Plante came personally.
...
Upon reaching the sky above Yangquan City, Plante's mental energy quickly scanned the entire district.
Fortunately, Tina hadn't gone on a killing spree in the city.
However, there was a downside—the ordinary residents below were on the verge of breaking from the mental torture.
Plante's brow furrowed.
He activated the mech's "anti-interference module," releasing an "anti-interference field."
Under the field's effect, the oppressive aura Tina had been projecting was immediately neutralized.
The residents in the city district felt the oppressive aura dissipate, and they were overjoyed!
Some saw the iconic red mech in the sky and joyfully bowed to Plante in gratitude.
"It's Lord Plante! Lord Plante has come to save us!"
The news of Lord Plante's arrival above Yangquan City quickly spread online.
Upon learning that Lord Plante had arrived, almost everyone felt a sense of relief.
With Lord Plante here, things should be resolved quickly, right?
Blue Star alien, your days are numbered!
They just hoped that Lord Plante would be careful when he made his move, trying to minimize the damage to the city as much as possible.
...
Unlike the joy of the common people, Lord Plante, standing in the sky, had a look of helplessness on his face.
He remained motionless, quietly watching Tina.
Lord Plante's strength was roughly seventeen to eighteen times that of Tina, making it easy for him to defeat her.
However, the problem was that he couldn't guarantee that Tina wouldn't self-destruct.
If Tina, who was on guard, detected Lord Plante's approach, she would likely self-destruct prematurely, destroying a quarter of Yangquan City with no doubt.
If Tina's self-destruction resulted in her death or prevented her from returning to the real world, sacrificing a quarter of Yangquan City might be a reasonable trade-off.
But she would resurrect!
If Tina resurrected and repeated the same act in another city next month, wouldn't it make them look foolish?
Therefore, Lord Plante could only stand by, waiting in the sky for Alyssa and the cat Morning Star to arrive. He would wait until everyone was present before deciding how to handle the situation.
...
Tina was fearless in the face of this suddenly appearing old man.
Although he was the strongest on Skrul, she could resurrect! What was there to fear if she could come back to life?
With renewed courage, Tina flew straight toward Lord Plante.
The distance between them was about ten kilometers, and Tina quickly closed the gap until it was less than a kilometer.
At this point, they could clearly see each other's faces.
As Tina approached, Lord Plante was taken aback.
What was Tina doing? Was she really not afraid of him?
When Tina got closer, she took out her phone, opened the camera, and pointed it at Lord Plante. "Hey, green-skinned old man, your mech is really cool! Let me take a photo for you, say cheese!"
With that, she snapped a photo of Lord Plante.
Tina didn't speak Skrul, so she used Mandarin.
Through the mech's language module, Lord Plante quickly understood what she meant, and his face darkened.
This Blue Star girl was truly fearless, didn't she know what a peak godlike being was capable of?
And he hadn't even posed yet, how did she manage to take the photo so quickly? ... Cough.
Lord Plante, maintaining a stern expression, said sternly, "Blue Star human, according to the rules of the Hymn, your high-level cultivators are not allowed to enter the Skrul human settlements!
Considering that you were randomly teleported here, we will not pursue it for now. You must leave immediately! Otherwise, if you violate the rules of the Hymn, the Hymn will impose punishment, and you will regret it!"
Lord Plante spoke in Skrul, and his words were translated into Mandarin through the mech's language module, reaching Tina's ears.
As he spoke, he released his overwhelming aura, the pressure of a peak godlike being descending upon Tina.
Tina's strength was not enough to resist this powerful pressure, so after taking the photo, she immediately retreated, using the distance to counter the pressure.
At the same time, Tina smiled at Lord Plante. "Haha, green-skinned old man, you can't fool me!
Before coming to your planet, I confirmed with Kexing multiple times. I am not a Blue Star human, so I am not bound by the rules set by the Hymn.
The Hymn states that Blue Star humans below the godlike level are not allowed to slaughter civilians in Skrul settlements, and godlike beings are not allowed to enter Skrul settlements.
However, I am not a Blue Star human. I come from the Evolution game. I can enter and exit settlements at will, and even slaughter here without any punishment!"
As she spoke, Tina revealed all her strength. Golden, radiant energy surged from her body, swirling around her, making her shine like a blazing sun.
For a moment, she seemed to match Lord Plante's aura, and the sky above Yangquan City seemed to be dominated only by the figures of Tina and Lord Plante.
...
The standoff between Tina and Lord Plante naturally drew the intense attention of the Skrul people online.
At first, when Lord Plante appeared, everyone thought the issue would be quickly resolved.
But unexpectedly, the two engaged in a verbal spat, and Lord Plante showed no intention of making a move.
Some Skrulls had studied the language of Earth and took the initiative to translate Tina and Plante's conversation into Skrull and post it online.
Upon seeing the specific content of Tina and Plante's conversation, the internet erupted once again:
"By the gods, no wonder Earth's high-level fighters never slaughtered ordinary civilians in the cities; it turns out it's due to the restrictions of the Sacred Hymn!"
"The Sacred Hymn imposes a lot of restrictions on Earthlings. It seems like the Saint Silver Federation really wants us to win!"
"But this... female human claims she isn't an Earthling and doesn't have to follow the restrictions. Is this true?"
"It should be... true! She has no reason to lie, and Lord Plante's hesitation to act might be due to this."
"Regardless, everyone in Yangquan City, flee for your lives! Yangquan City might really be destroyed!"
From far away in the country of Becker, Cindy Doppler sensed that this might be an opportunity.
She directly asked the Sun Emperor Manina on social media, "Your Majesty Manina, is it true that the 'Earthlings are forbidden from slaughtering civilians in populated areas' is a favor given to us by the Saint Silver Federation?"
Not long after, Manina replied on social media, "Yes, this is the direct support they have provided us."
Cindy Doppler continued, "Does this support come with any side effects? For example, do we have to pay some unavoidable costs?"
She wanted to lure Manina into saying "fair war principles."
However, Manina was not fooled.
He cheerfully said, "There are no costs to be paid. This is a one-sided benefit provided by the Saint Silver Federation."
"Alright." Cindy Doppler, frustrated that her plan had failed, fell silent.
...
The scene returned to the sky above Yangquan City. Plante closed his eyes and no longer paid attention to Tina.
Plante was waiting for the cat, Morningstar, and Alyssa to arrive.
During the wait, he only needed to prevent Tina from causing trouble in the city or continuing to use her pressure to harm ordinary people.
Seeing that Plante was no longer paying attention to her, Tina also found herself with nothing to do.
She couldn't continue using her pressure on the city's residents, and any other small tricks would not escape Plante's notice.
With no other choice, she continued taking photos in the city, trying to stay as far away from Plante as possible while waiting for Morningstar and Alyssa to arrive.
...
Time passed quietly, one minute at a time.
Finally, an hour later, Morningstar and Alyssa arrived in Yangquan City and successfully met up with Tina!
Through their phone communications, Morningstar and Alyssa had already known that Plante had come to Yangquan City.
So during their entry into the city, they were extremely cautious, not letting their guard down for a moment.
This was the strongest being from Skrull, and they had to show him the necessary respect.
Seeing the figures of Morningstar and Alyssa in the sky, Plante spoke, "Three powerful beings from the Evolution World, may I ask what brings you to Skrull this time? We Skrulls are a warm and hospitable race. Is there anything we can assist you with?"
Plante's tone was very polite, but he was also very troubled by these three beings.
The Skrulls had no good way to deal with them and had to constantly be on guard against them slaughtering civilians.
...
The cat, Morningstar, being the strongest, took the lead in responding, "We are just here for a tour, to enjoy the sights and culture of this alien world. We don't need your assistance."
Then she looked at her two friends, "Let's go, we'll head to our planned destination and take plenty of photos there."
"Sure!"
The two women and the cat no longer paid attention to Plante and flew northeast.
Their first destination was not just any place; it was the capital of the Sun Empire—Sun City!
After all, their primary goal was to attract the attention of the Skrulls, while their secondary goal was to enjoy the scenery.
With a god-tier being and two seventh-tier beings directly descending on the Sun Empire's capital, as long as the Skrulls weren't all blind, they would surely attract the majority of their attention, thus ensuring the success of their plan!
...
The two women and the cat wasted no time.
As soon as they spoke, they immediately flew toward Sun City.
Plante was taken aback by their actions.
He didn't know their plan yet.
But seeing that the two women and the cat were taking action, he knew he had to follow.
So, Plante followed them at a distance, maintaining a fixed distance, and flew toward Sun City together with them.
