Chapter 3857 A Beautiful Cage
It was early morning, an hour after the nuclear explosion.
The [Two Realms] opened once again in the Divine Continent Embassy, and people emerged from it one after another—they had not been inside for long, with the longest time being only a little over an hour.
However, when they emerged again, it was as if they had stepped from a post-apocalyptic shelter into a new world.
They stared at each other, speechless, at the refugees who hadn't yet been taken in into the [Two Realms] and were still piled up outside the embassy walls... only silence remained.
"Mom!!"
A little girl squeezed through the crowd as she emerged from the [Liangyi Boundary] and ran towards the outside of the wall. At the same time, a middle-aged woman outside the wall also hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the running child.
The mother and daughter embraced tightly in this silent standoff.
Near the very end, people rushed to send their young children into the "Two Realms".
"Anyway... it's good that I survived."
And so, the cold gaze began to warm up a little.
With the first mother and daughter embracing, naturally there will be a second pair of fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren, wives and daughters... family members embracing.
People were still coming out of the [Two Realms] in an endless stream... At the checkpoint near the exit, Zi Ling's mother stood on tiptoe, her eyes quickly scanning each person who came out.
She has yet to encounter Luo Qiu and You Ye here. Her forced composure has become increasingly fragile as more and more people leave... like sugared glass.
"Sister...it's okay, there are just too many people. There are still many people behind us who haven't come out yet," Pear said softly, trying to comfort her.
Ziling's mother simply nodded without saying a word.
When she was helping out at the embassy, she asked many agents, and they all said they hadn't seen Luo Qiu and You Ye... But the master said that arrangements had already been made, so she could only comfort herself by saying that there were too many people and they couldn't take care of them.
"Big sister." Just then, Xiao Junjun suddenly tugged at Ziling's mother's sleeve, pointed her finger in a direction, and said, "Is that the person you're looking for? They seem to be walking this way."
A strand of golden hair swayed gently in the morning breeze.
Little Junjun looked up and said, "Big sister, look..."
Ziling's mother had already disappeared from her sight. In an instant, she ran to the man and woman walking towards her and hugged them tightly.
"That scared me to death!!!"
No one paid attention to the reporter's clear sobs at that moment, because there were so many people present, and many of them were crying louder than her.
……
"Here, wipe it off."
The maid gently took out a handkerchief and lightly wiped away Ziling's mother's tears.
"It was terrifying, I couldn't find you anywhere..."
The maid said softly, "It was Minister Xuanruo who arranged for people to pick us up immediately and settle us in the Liangyi Realm. Unfortunately, the inside and outside are isolated, so we can't send you messages. However, we have been safe."
"Oh, I see..." Ziling's mother sniffed. She knew she probably looked terrible, but she didn't care. "You really should thank Minister Xuan properly this time. She's truly a great benefactor to our family!"
The maid chuckled softly, glancing at her master beside her. "Don't worry, we will properly thank Minister Xuanruo."
The future daughter-in-law has a very high level of trust with Ziling's mother... As soon as Ziling's mother heard this, she knew that Youye would definitely repay the great god well, so she stopped nagging to avoid annoying people.
She's been reading a lot of books about mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts lately... She can't become a bad mother-in-law!
"I wonder how things are at the front," Ziling's mother began to worry again.
Luo Qiu's voice was steady and reassuring as he said, "Someone should be back soon. Since the [Two Elements Realm] has been opened, it proves that the danger has been averted or is under control."
“That’s true…” Zi Ling’s mother nodded. Xiao Luo Qiu’s emotions have always been extremely stable, and she was used to it.
……
A family of three, looking happy and harmonious a dozen meters away, seemed to be isolated from the world, their aura automatically filtering out all the noise of the world... Pear and [Little Junjun] watched silently, knowing that they couldn't get close or blend in at this moment.
"Speaking of which, have they always been like this?" [Xiao Junjun] asked abruptly.
"Huh?" Pear was taken aback for a moment.
[Little Junjun]...Su Zijun moved closer at this moment, sniffing with her little nose, "How old are you this year? You smell very nice too."
A sudden chill ran from her forehead straight to the top of her head, and she couldn't help but shiver.
—Help, sis… There’s a really bad guy here!!
"I...I'm frozen, it's actually spoiled..."
"Hehehe." [Little Junjun] said with a smile, "Please take care of me in the future."
—I don't want to!!!
That's when.
"It seems someone has returned from the front lines!"
……
……
……
……
Nuclear blast point... a deep crater.
The surrounding area was almost completely transformed into an obsidian-like state.
At this moment, a group of powerful humans gathered before the charred sculpture—after the explosion occurred, was suppressed, and was finally dissolved, Radiance brought everyone to investigate immediately.
"Given all this, they're not going to suddenly come back to life or something, are they?" Norwegian asked in a somewhat uncertain voice.
After all, the power of "extraordinary" belongs to the realm of metaphysics, and anything can happen... The settings of cultivating immortality in the online novels that were once popular in China are gradually becoming a reality, aren't they?
"Hmm...no signs of life." [Radiance] sighed softly.
At this moment, he was clearly the most authoritative figure... Seeing that the [Non-human] King had been determined to be completely dead, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although they didn't witness what happened here last, they were able to roughly reconstruct the situation based on the appearance of the statue and their own experiences.
However, being able to reconstruct the situation at that time is one thing... understanding it is another.
What baffled everyone was why "Wednesday," the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, would take such a huge risk at the last moment to suppress the energy of the nuclear explosion, even sacrificing himself in the process.
I just can't figure this out.
"President!"
Just as the powerful figures were discussing, a magician hurried over.
"Something has been discovered at the front lines. We would appreciate it if you could go and take a look yourself!"
Upon hearing this, [Radiance] looked around at everyone and said, "Let's go."
……
After the nuclear explosion danger was resolved in a way that no one had expected, the earthen bunkers hastily created by the human powerhouses were immediately dismantled, and the human "non-humans" and "superhumans" once again sealed off the area where the Divine Realm Legion had retreated.
These warriors of the Divine Realm Legion were unaware that Washington had just experienced a terrifying threat—during the most tense and desperate time in the entire city, the infighting within the legion continued!
Even when the human powerhouses returned, they were still killing each other... The two sides in the infighting within the legion had even gone to extremes.
Although it was unclear why these foreign invaders suddenly turned on each other... the various human forces were naturally happy to see this happen.
After all, it's really satisfying to stand on the sidelines and watch the fire from the other side of the river...
Once the infighting within the Divine Realm Legion had come to an end, the various human forces, having rested enough, naturally launched a fierce attack.
Outstanding record!
Despite the massive numerical disparity between the two sides, the human forces ultimately achieved complete dominance... and a large number of wounded Divine Realm warriors were successfully captured.
When [Radiance] arrived at the scene with everyone, the captured Legion warriors were already squatting on the ground in droves, heads in their hands, as if mourning their parents.
"President, esteemed guests, you've arrived!"
"How's the situation on site?" [Huiyao] asked directly.
"The battle has ended, most of the enemies have been brought under control, only a few, including Little Cat, are still putting up a stubborn resistance... but they should be out of there soon." A knight covered in battle-damaged armor said quickly, "We've discovered something, but we don't know exactly what it is, so we dare not move!"
"Um……"
[Radiance] was quickly drawn to what they had discovered and suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Before them stood a strange creature resembling a giant metal spider, its eight claws gripping the ground tightly, and a deep blue beam of light—like some kind of drilling tool—was projecting from its abdomen into the earth.
[Radiance] frowned and suddenly attacked, his wand shooting out a burst of flame that instantly knocked down one of the creations!
"Quick, this thing seems to be drawing power from the Earth's core!" [Radiance] said gravely, "This could be the enemy's method of plundering our world!"
Upon hearing this, there was nothing more to say. Everyone attacked together, and a large number of strange creations were instantly blasted down... At this moment, the feeling of trepidation in [Radiance]'s heart gradually dissipated.
"It's alright now," he murmured, patting his chest.
"This kind of tool must be some kind of advanced technology on the enemy's side," Lamias suddenly said. "Anyway, there are quite a few of these, so let's give one to everyone and take it back to study. We need to know something about what's going on outside."
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked towards [Radiance].
Father Stra said nonchalantly, "You know I'm definitely supporting Lamias!"
[Radiance] rolled his eyes. "So, do you want a share of these prisoners too?"
"I only want female prisoners! And I don't want any ugly ones!"
Father Strauss was as genuine as ever.
【Radiance】, however, said expressionlessly, "I can help you negotiate with these creations. As for how to deal with the prisoners, that's for the Dragon Lord to decide... You should know how we won this battle. If it weren't for the Dragon Lord holding back all of the enemy's high-end forces, the outcome of this battle would have been uncertain. The Dragon Lord's contribution is the greatest, do you all have any objections?"
Father Strath immediately wore an expression as if he had drunk holy water that tasted like shit—damn it, what could he possibly object to? Judging from how the true dragon performed when beating up the enemy's high-end combat power... it was just ridiculous.
Did I realize that my previous belief that I could stage an accident was just an illusion?
Even the most troublesome Stella was silenced... so the rest could only remain silent.
Although the enemy was defeated, the true dragon's terrifying power increased dramatically because of this battle, and it remains an insurmountable obstacle for everyone.
The true world's number one terrorist leader!
"My lords, we have made a new discovery!"
Just then, a black-clad nun from the Black Order swiftly arrived beside Lamias. "Guild Master, we've discovered a makeshift tunnel ahead!"
"A tunnel?" Lamias was taken aback.
Everyone turned to look.
The nun in the black dress said solemnly, "According to preliminary investigations, the tunnel was newly dug and leads to the suburbs dozens of kilometers away. There are many footprints inside... It is estimated that many enemies have already quietly left through this tunnel."
"Holy crap? These invaders even know how to use tunnel warfare?" Father Stra's eyes widened in disbelief. "This guy's got some serious talent!"
"If these foreign enemies manage to escape and hide all over the world, we'll be in big trouble!" Norwegian Boy's expression darkened. "[Radiance] Guild Leader, send people to investigate as soon as possible... We must capture as many as we can, and absolutely not let them have a chance to rise again!"
"Do not bother!"
Suddenly, a beam of light appeared above everyone—golden radiance converged to form the figure of the Divine Dragon of China… This is the golden version of Ah Xi Ruo!
[Radiance] can create magical clones, so for Ah Xi Ruo, simply condensing a disposable clone is not a difficult task.
Her true form is still guarding against the old scoundrel and Huo Zhen's advancement.
"Old..." [Radiance]'s emotions fluctuated slightly, "Dragon Lord!"
"Hmm." Ah Xiruo nodded to [Huiyao]. Although she had always formally acknowledged [Huiyao] as her student, he had always adhered to the etiquette of a student... one cannot hit a smiling face.
"I have seen the true dragon!"
The only one capable of making these world's top experts willingly bow down is this incredibly powerful and despair-inducing Divine Dragon of China.
“I already know about the enemy deserters,” Ah Xi Ruo said directly. “It’s too late to hunt them down now.”
"...This, I wonder what the Dragon Lord thinks should be done now?" [Radiance] asked seriously.
Ah Xi Ruo sneered, "Since they are rats, they should be trapped... Don't they want to run away? Then let them never be able to escape from this place."
"?"
A look of doubt flashed across everyone's faces.
Then, the sword light of the Xuanyuan Zhutian Sword suddenly shot out from the hand of Ah Xiruo's clone, soaring straight into the sky... The incomparably brilliant sword light burst forth with even more dazzling brilliance in the morning sunlight, instantly illuminating this already dilapidated city!
Then, the sword light of the Zhutian Sword exploded directly in the sky, and then transformed into countless sword shadows, which scattered in all directions like a meteor shower!
The sword energy swept across the border of this country at an incredible speed, either landing on the border or on the coastline!
Using the light and shadow of sword energy slicing across the sky as threads, a giant net seemed to be woven across the entire country's airspace!
"From this day forward, anyone whose strength exceeds LV1 or higher enters or leaves this kingdom without permission will be attacked by the sword energy of the Heaven-Slaying Sword!"
"above!"
The dragon's domineering voice resonated in everyone's hearts... causing them to gasp in shock!
By doing this, the enemy will indeed be unable to leave this country. After all, even the weakest cannon fodder of the Divine Realm Legion, even if their strength has regressed to a state of near-death, should still be above LV1.
Enemies cannot break through the blockade of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Qi; anyone who dares to show themselves will be killed. They can only hide in this land, waiting to be captured and surrounded by powerful humans...
But if we do this, won't the United States be ruined too?
Aren't those non-humans and superhumans from their own land who are above LV1 also unable to leave this place?
A gigantic cage...or rather, a prison!
Dragon King is ruthless. The key point is that the United States doesn't even have a reason to refute this time... After all, this thing doesn't restrict ordinary people from entering or leaving.
"Amen..."
Father Strauss suddenly turned silently towards the location of the peculiar statue and slowly made the sign of the cross on his chest.
Just when everyone thought Stella had changed his ways and even felt sorry for him... they had underestimated the priest's true nature!
Stella: "Dragon Lord, I suggest we set up multiple outposts along the border of the United States, with each family stationed there to guard them closely and prevent anyone from deliberately lowering their status to escape! Anyone who tries to break through should be shot dead! Also, those who are beaten should stand at attention, and those who do wrong should atone for their mistakes. Therefore, I also suggest that the United States should bear the cost of the garrisoning..."
—You call this a military garrison?!
Lamias couldn't help but roll her eyes. Adding insult to injury... that's so Strauss-like.
“Stra, you…” Ah Xi Ruo was also taken aback. After a moment of silence, she calmly said, “Alright, let’s leave it at that.”
Then the true dragon of China made the final decision.
There wasn't a single powerful figure or official from the United States present at this hasty decision-making event—but as everyone knows, when treaties are signed, the representatives of the countries involved aren't present... so what's the problem?
