Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 105 Zhan Lan: I am the MVP!

After all, the most embarrassing situation is when everyone else is working hard, but you're the only one who doesn't achieve results.

...gives people the feeling that everyone else can do it...except for them...

But this awkward silence didn't last long, because a loud creaking sound came from the Gates of the Underworld in the center of Cairo, attracting everyone's attention. The sound was like a rusty bolt being forcibly turned.

But after that loud bang, the Gates of the Underworld fell silent again. After waiting for a long time, Zheng Zha couldn't help but ask, "Was that the sound of the Gates of the Underworld opening? Why was there only one sound?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Li rolled her eyes and was about to reply, "Who knows? Why don't you go ask Seth?" when another loud bang rang out.

With this loud bang, Luo Li and the others who were watching the Gate of the Underworld saw the gate shake noticeably, and the eerie light shining through the cracks in the door became significantly brighter.

At this moment, everyone who saw the gates of the underworld had the same thought in their minds... The gates of the underworld are opening...

"Zhang Jie, Manavia stays with me, everyone else evacuate first."

Seeing that it was almost time, Luo Li asked Zhang Jie to stay behind as well, in addition to staying behind to control the magic fortress Hamunaptra herself. Zhang Jie understood why Luo Li wanted him to stay.

After everyone else had left, Luo Li pointed to the base of the ramming horn that bound the Scorpion Emperor Masayus and said, "Manavia, just stay there. I've set up a lot of defensive barriers there, which can help you hold out for a while longer during the impact. Then, just leave it to fate."

Of course, those magical barriers not only serve a defensive purpose, but also have various mental-weakening effects such as hypnosis and sedation, all to prevent Manavia from betraying them at crucial moments.

Manavia, who was completely unaware of the backup plan prepared by Luo Li, stood in the position designated by Luo Li with gratitude. As the magic barrier began to operate, she immediately fell into a deep sleep.

Then Luo Li and Zhang Jie arrived at the highest platform, which is the new control center of the magic fortress Hamunaptra after its renovation. It can be separated from the main body at any time.

Under Luo Li's control, accompanied by the rhythmic creaking of the Gates of the Underworld, the magic fortress Hamunaptra gradually increased its height, slowly rising to the upper stratosphere, stopping only at a height of more than fifty kilometers above the ground.

As the magical fortress Hamunaptra rose, Egypt, which had been in perpetual night, once again welcomed daylight. Countless Egyptians, who had been living in fear for many days, knelt down facing the 'sun' in the sky and devoutly called out the glory of Horus.

At this moment, Zhan Lan, who was retreating with the main force, suddenly became dazed. She seemed to hear the prayers of countless people echoing in her ears, and in addition, there was a special voice guiding her to a certain place.

The next moment, to the astonishment of Zheng Zha and the others, Zhan Lan's entire body suddenly radiated endless golden light, which gathered towards her back.

In just a few seconds, four golden, illusory wings unfurled from Zhan Lan's shoulder blades, and then Zhan Lan soared into the sky in front of everyone, flying off in another direction.

Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha roared and gave chase, "Zhan Lan!!! Chu Xuan, you take the men and go first, I'll go after Zhan Lan!"

The others wanted to chase after them after hearing Zheng Zha's shout, but Chu Xuan stopped them. "With our speed and stamina, we can't catch up at all. Listen to Zheng Zha, remember the direction they left in, and let's retreat to a safe place first."

Hearing Chu Xuan's words, although everyone was unwilling, they had to admit that with their speed and endurance, they simply couldn't keep up with Zheng Zha.

At this moment, Luo Li was unaware of the changes in Zhan Lan. She had just adjusted the direction of the magic fortress Hamunaptra, pointing the ram at the Gate of the Underworld, and redirecting the magic propulsion device, originally modified from the Wrath of Horus, to the rear. Then she set the timing to ensure that the magic fortress Hamunaptra would crash into the Gate of the Underworld at top speed the instant it fully opened.

After doing all this, Luo Li controlled the floating platform beneath her feet to detach from the magic fortress Hamunaptra, carrying her and Zhang Jie away from the magic fortress Hamunaptra, which was about to turn into a dump truck.

After Luo Li stopped what she was doing, Zhang Jie, who was feeling anxious, asked, "Shall we begin now?"

"Are you in such a hurry to die? But unfortunately, now is not the time."

Luo Li's answer left Zhang Jie puzzled. He thought Luo Li had kept him around to activate the captain certification, but now was still not the right time.

Although Zhang Jie wanted to ask when it would be the right time, he was worried that this would trigger the main god's mechanism and forcibly activate the captain certification. If Luo Li wasn't fully prepared, he wouldn't just be harming himself and her, but also his wife Na'er.

As the creaking sound grew more rapid, the gate to the underworld, which was already more than half open, opened at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the magical fortress Hamunaptra, located in the upper stratosphere, began to fall toward the gate to the underworld like a shooting star.

At this moment, as they gazed at the setting sun, countless Egyptians were once again gripped by fear, praying even more fervently to the 'sun', hoping that 'He' could return to the heavens.

Meanwhile, Zheng Zha, who had been chasing Zhan Lan, noticed that she had finally stopped, hovering above a sand dune. "Zhan Lan! Wake up! What are you doing!"

In response to Zheng Zha's shout, Zhan Lan merely glanced at him with her golden eyes. That single glance made Zheng Zha feel as if his soul was being scorched by the sun. If it hadn't been just a glance, Zheng Zha would have thought his soul was about to be completely set ablaze.

Now, Zheng Zha dared not disturb Zhan Lan in this state any longer, and could only watch as she used her right hand to form a claw towards the sand dune below, as if she was grabbing something.

Just as the words "Spear of Judgment" flashed through Zheng Zha's mind, a golden light shot out along with the water vapor and was precisely caught in Zhan Lan's right hand—it was the Spear of Judgment.

Then, under Zheng Zha's gaze, Zhan Lan held the Spear of Judgment and began to accumulate power on it, facing the direction of the Gate of the Underworld. As the light on the surface of the Spear of Judgment became more and more dazzling, the wings behind Zhan Lan became more and more illusory.

When the wings behind her completely disappeared, Zhan Lan suddenly threw the spear of judgment in her hand and then fell from mid-air. Zheng Zha saw this and jumped up to catch the unconscious Zhan Lan.

Amidst the despairing gazes of countless Egyptians, the 'sun' in the sky fell faster and faster, and as the 'sun' continued to descend, eternal night once again spread across the land.

Just then, a golden shooting star streaked across the night sky, bringing a last glimmer of hope to countless people.

Just then, Zhang Jie stared in disbelief as two giant hands grabbed the edge of the Gate of the Underworld and forcibly pried it open. A huge beast head followed, and as it emerged, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. Looking down, he saw the chilling holy sword Balmonk piercing through his chest.

“Guide Zhang Jie, I, Luo Li, request to activate captain certification.”
