Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"Now, say some nice things to me, beg me, and maybe I can choose to let you go," Ye Ge said.

Yueyou: "......"

At this moment, the Zerg Empress, Dream Butterfly, clasped her hands together and unleashed her skill.

Her scales suddenly unfurled into countless neon lights, and the three thousand realms of color surged across the battlefield like a tide. Cangfeng's glasses reflected fragmented, illusory images.

"Illusory Light Butterfly Dance - Three Thousand Color Realms!"

Suddenly, thousands of butterfly shadows emerged from the void rift, each wing refracting different shades of neon, forming a rainbow storm with a diameter of hundreds of feet.

Xia Xiyao, Yu Li, Cang Feng and the others' vision was instantly distorted into kaleidoscope-like fragments, hundreds of different wind chimes echoed in their ears, and even their skin had the illusion of being caressed by silk and blades.

Ye Ge narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Let's retreat," said Dream Butterfly. "The current situation is clearly unfavorable to us."

Without any hesitation, Rakshasa led his men and fled.

"Crack, crack, crack..." The insectoid soldiers also retreated back into the ground and fled underground.

"Lord Moonlit Night," a fallen angel warrior asked, "Should we retreat? What about Her Majesty the Queen?"

"..."

Yueyou clenched her fists and pondered for a moment.

'Night Song just said, it's a pity the Queen didn't see this scene...'

This means that the Queen is probably still safe and sound; he's just hiding her.

'There's no chance of winning now. The other directors of the gene company have all retreated. Staying to fight to the death would be pointless, only a death sentence...'

'It would be better to return and then gather the army to rescue the Queen.'

"Retreat!" Yueyou then gave the order.

Night Song gazed at the surrounding illusory butterfly neon storm, raised two fingers, moved her lips slightly, and silently chanted an incantation.

"break!"

The myriad phantom butterflies vanished without a trace.

The people from the gene company have all disappeared.

"Heh, you run pretty fast," Ye Ge laughed.

Ye Yulong turned to look at Ye Ge: "Why did you just let them get away like that?"

He knew that Ye Ge had never really intended to keep the other person.

Night Song said leisurely, "Just scare them a little. The power of the magic explosion missile is too great. If we really need to provide long-range support for the ground attack, we might get wiped out too."

Ye Yulong thought about it and agreed.

"Moreover, we have also lost a lot of our combat personnel."

Ye Ge glanced at Gao Shenxue and the others.

Cang Feng, Jiang Xiaoming, and several other girls were all injured to varying degrees.

Even he himself had exhausted his divine and magical power, and his opponents still had several Soul Emperor realm experts with top combat power among the myriad races. It was obviously unwise to continue to fight them head-on.

Moreover, the purpose of this trip to Thunder Rift Valley has already been achieved.

Ye Ge looked at the two new items she had acquired in her system inventory.

There were even some extra gains...

......

It was already the second day when we returned to Kyoto.

Apart from Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao, everyone else was admitted to the Ye Family Hospital. After receiving treatment from Ye Zi and other healing-type superhumans, they underwent a series of tests and were temporarily hospitalized for observation.

Thunder Rift Valley is not only characterized by its extremely strong magnetic field, but also by the highly radioactive metallic substances within its rocks.

After they were exhausted, they didn't have enough soul power to resist that level of radiation. They were lucky to be safe and sound.

"I never expected that Jiang Xiaoming would actually kill Wei Shitian?"

After listening to Gao Shenxue recount the entire process of their battle, Ye Ge couldn't help but laugh and say, "It must have been difficult for him. He really has a talent to come up with such a method of casting spells."

This is indeed a method that only Jiang Xiaoming, possessed by the Zhu Yan, could accomplish.

"Hmm, Xiaomingzi did a really good job this time." Xia Xiyao swung her long legs: "However, that genetically modified human wasn't as amazing as we thought."

Night Song shook his head and said, "They are just being controlled by the God of Eternal Sleep. The God of Eternal Sleep cannot perfectly manipulate every individual, so they are just like being controlled by low-quality AI. To put it bluntly, they have the numerical value of physical body and skills, but in terms of actual operation level, they are just a group of human-machines."

"I see," Xia Xiyao said. "By the way, what exactly is this God of Eternal Sleep?"

Night Song said, "A god from an extremely ancient era, but unfortunately he was defeated by a new god and fell to the lower realm. He can be considered a ghost seeking revenge."

Xia Xiyao was stunned: "So there's such infighting among the gods too..."

Night Song said, "The gods are just one of the myriad races of ancient times. As long as there is life, the law of the jungle is unchanging."

Xia Xiyao nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"No matter what, it's great that everyone is safe and sound this time," Xia Xiyao said with emotion.

Ye Ge said, "By the way, after such a great battle, do you two want to get checked out too? After all, the radiation intensity of the White Tiger's metal-attribute holy power is very high."

Xia Xiyao said with a grin, "No need, Xue'er and I weren't hurt at all..."

Gao Shenxue: "Yes."

Xia Xiyao: "...Huh?"

"I do feel a little unwell." Gao Shenxue looked at Ye Ge expectantly with her clear eyes: "But could you examine me yourself, Ye Ge? Perhaps if you could transfer some holy power into me, I would feel better."

Night Song: "Ah, this..."

Ye Ge glanced at Xia Xiyao beside her, feeling embarrassed. She thought to herself, "Yaoyao is still here. Xue'er is too direct."

Xia Xiyao seemed not to understand Xue'er's meaning. Upon hearing her words, she immediately showed a worried expression and grabbed her hand: "Xue'er, are you feeling unwell? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I didn't feel anything at first, but after Xiaoye mentioned it, I felt like I might need it too." Gao Shenxue blinked and looked at Yege: "Is that okay?"

Night Song: "..."

"Can......"

Gao Shenxue linked arms with Ye Ge: "Let's go then, Yao Yao, do you want to come along?"

"Me?" Xia Xiyao paused for a moment, fiddling with her fingers. "Um... Mom just messaged me saying something needs me to go back right away... I'm sorry, Xue'er, I can't be with you."

"It's alright." Gao Shenxue: "See you tomorrow, Yao Yao."

Xia Xiyao: "Okay, see you tomorrow~"

Watching Ye Ge and Gao Shenxue walk away into the distance.

Xia Xiyao tilted her head and muttered softly, "Strange... something feels off..."

......

(I guess you're not interested in the inspection process, so I'll skip it.)
