I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

However, he was not naive enough to think that what he had just done was the limit of a Soul Heaven Realm expert; there would definitely be even more terrifying and fierce attacks to come.

Everything must adhere to the principle of 'speed', because time is life.

"Quickly, bring me the data for the four energy depots."

Technician Code said to his deputy, "There's no doubt the output power is set to maximum. Since there's a problem, we can only start investigating from the source."

"Report..." The technician's voice was pale and weak, like someone about to be buried: "We have lost contact with the 'Other Sea'..."

"What!?"

Kord screamed in surprise, and the other technicians also stopped what they were doing at the same time, thinking they had misheard.

That is the "Other Sea," which accounts for more than 40% of the total energy reserves, nearly half, making it the most important place.

Now that they have lost contact with the "Other Sea," it's tantamount to announcing the end of the world.

"Impossible! Let me see!"

Codd pushed his deputy aside and went over to examine the document carefully. When he saw a certain part, his hands began to tremble.

Through monitoring deployed on the seabed, it can be seen that the "Other Sea," which should have provided them with almost inexhaustible energy, has long since disappeared.

"What happened? Are you all blind? How could such a big thing disappear?!"

Cod angrily started throwing things around; he felt immense fear, and his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The Imperial Advisor and his ilk will kill him!

"This..." The technician in charge of this area couldn't explain it either.

The seabed at a depth of 14,000 meters is a natural barrier, and the resulting safety made them underestimate the importance of this work, which is why they didn't discover it immediately.

"Get the surveillance footage right now!"

"Yes, yes, yes, adjust it now, adjust it now..."

The technicians immediately pulled up the video footage, which showed the moment "Beyond the Sea" was stolen. A black shadow, hundreds of meters long, silently passed through all the defense systems and arrived next to "Beyond the Sea".

The moment those present saw the dark figure, their hearts felt as if they were being choked, and their breath caught in their throats.

--dark.

It was a chaotic darkness that defied description; just one glance was enough to instill endless fear.

Good heavens! What kind of monster is this?!

When the dark figure reached "Beyond the Sea", it opened its mouth wide, the space shifted, and the next moment "Beyond the Sea" was swallowed whole.

Why 'her'?

Because everyone present could see clearly that the huge black shadow radiating endless fear had transformed into a petite figure less than 1.4 meters tall, and from the outline, it could be discerned that it was a woman.

The video ends here.

"........"

There was silence.

On the other side, after the lightning strike, the center of the huge cloud vortex in the sky was filled with all sorts of phenomena. Surrounded by clouds and flowing with purple light, it suddenly shook violently, with the wind and thunder flowing to their extreme.

She appeared.

A graceful figure emerged from the cloud vortex, stepping into the void. Each step landed as if touching the surface of calm water, with tiny blue-purple sparks of electricity spreading slowly from her light toes, transforming into undulating ripples.

Many people couldn't open their eyes; it was too dazzling. The person was enveloped in lightning, making it impossible to look directly at them. It was magnificent and solemn, just like the lightning sword in her hand, which was composed of blazing lightning and brilliant light, capable of cleaving the sky and splitting the earth!

At this moment, his unparalleled charisma stunned the entire audience.

"Soul Heaven..."

Li Hao's pupils trembled slightly. Even someone as powerful as a ninth-rank cultivator could only look up at Liu Mengxian from below, feeling as insignificant as an ant in her presence.

This was the second time he had witnessed Liu Mengxian's unparalleled power. The last time she appeared, it ended with the death of a Sequence-level creature.

"Is it still not working? Is it adjusted yet!?"

Iko was extremely nervous. He had a premonition that if that sword came down, they would probably be reduced to ashes!

Codd gestured, "Let me speak."

He answered Iko's call with trembling hands, feeling like his soul was about to leave his body.

"The Other Side of the Sea... is gone!"

Iko and the others around him were nearly driven mad with anger, and were momentarily stunned.

"That's it?! Say it again, that's it!?"

"Yes, it was swallowed up by a huge black shadow, but I suspect that wasn't done by humans..."

"Bastard!"

Iko roared so loudly that he almost made Kod kneel down and beg for mercy on the spot.

The sage calmed down and asked cautiously, "Alright, let's focus on dealing with that monster for now. By the way, is the power output set to maximum?"

As if grasping at a straw, Codd hurriedly replied, "Yes, it's been adjusted, and the intensity is more than five times that of before!"

Having received the other party's assurance, the Great Sage looked with a deep gaze at the figure on the horizon that illuminated the entire sky like a god, and then swung his long sword.

—A fleeting moment of brilliance, a flash of sword light.

It seemed as if time and space had been separated, and life and death had been severed, and everything was tinged with a different color.

Chapter Twenty-One: Passersby, Truth

outside.

"I think we need an explanation."

The arrival of the United States posed a question to the Chinese side:

"We've done as you said, gathering as many troops as possible within half an hour. Now it's time to tell us your plan, isn't it?"

The army gathered here now is several times larger than before; all the troops that could be transported have been brought over by the five major powers.

Two more Nimitz-class aircraft carriers have been added, and there are hundreds of seventh-level superhumans among them, not to mention several below them.

In fact, if they weren't worried that their side wouldn't heed their advice and allow China to gain a huge advantage, they wouldn't have mobilized so many troops based solely on China's word.

In addition, China has gained another ninth-tier expert – Mo Sheng.

As for the other four permanent members, apart from the European Union which failed to join, the other two countries can no longer send more ninth-tier powerhouses.

In response to their questions, Mo Sheng replied, "This is an order from the Marshal... The notification has arrived."

"Have you seen her?"

Mo Sheng looked around, searching for the person Yan Shan had mentioned, but saw nothing.

The next moment, the roaring sea suddenly calmed down, and the sound of the waves disappeared without a trace.

Then, the sky darkened, lightning surged, and a wave of destruction swept across the ocean, drawing everyone's attention to the faintly visible presence at the center of the cloud vortex.

"Prepare to attack!"

At Mo Sheng's command, all of China's superhuman troops entered the aircraft that had already arrived. The other four members of the Security Council also reacted quickly and prepared to attack.

Liu Mengxian floated gracefully in the high sky, no different from usual. She still had that dignified and refined demeanor, and her blue-purple robe exuded a fresh classical style.

“Slaughtering a civilization…” Liu Mengxian sighed, her eyes filled with reluctance.

The reason she possesses such strength yet remains largely unknown is that she doesn't want the world to know of her existence, because if people knew, they would inevitably be drawn into their conflicts.

Over the long years, she seemed to be a passerby in one era after another, never intervening and leaving no trace.

But in this generation, or more precisely, six years ago, she had to re-enter the world.

The rampant spread of mutated species has unleashed a bloodbath, causing immense suffering and death worldwide.

With great power comes great responsibility. At that moment, she realized it was time to shoulder this responsibility that only she could bear.

To this end, she successively killed three infamous Sequence-level monsters: the Sea Serpent, the Grim Reaper, and the Netherworld Rift. She then spent several months chasing the Mirage Dragon until it had nowhere to run. Finally, she killed a Sequence-level mutated species in the United States of America.

Her actions have brought her, who had always been a "passerby in the times," into the public eye.

However, she was soon embroiled in human conflict after her appearance.

Liu Mengxian never expected that what she had been trying so hard to avoid would come so quickly, so quickly that she couldn't refuse it.

Of course, if she wanted to refuse, no one could force her. As a Soul Heaven level expert, who in the world could force her?

However, when she learned that the catastrophic tsunami was the work of Odyssey and his gang, her conscience began to tip.

In fact, Liu Mengxian always had a principle in her heart.

—She will never get involved in the conflict between two civilizations; she will only use her abilities where they are truly needed, not to create meaningless killings.

I don't care how you fight your own internal battles, but if the bloodshed you cause is too great, then I cannot stand idly by!

However... if I agree to go to war and defeat the enemy, it will be another massacre, a massacre of humanity against a prehistoric civilization.

And she will become the biggest executioner in this massacre.

The decisive factor that ultimately convinced her to go on the expedition was that her disciple, Yan Ziming, was also among them.
