And they have only one goal.
Chapter 143 Everything I did was to see you.
Ge Xiaolun practically tumbled and crawled to a makeshift shelter.
Under cover, Qi Lin was carefully wiping her sniper rifle.
The gun was covered with tiny scratches, just like the lingering weariness on her face, which was covered in dust but still pretty.
Ge Xiaolun's voice was filled with labored breathing, like a broken bellows.
He braced himself on his knees, breathing heavily, his face flushed with excitement.
Qi Lin looked up and saw his expression, her brows furrowing slightly.
"What happened? Were you chased by a Taotie?"
"No! No!"
Ge Xiaolun shook his head violently and rushed to Qi Lin.
He grabbed her shoulder, his eyes shining with an unprecedented light.
"Instructor Lin Ci! Instructor Lin Ci is back!"
Qi Lin froze instantly as she wiped the gun.
The name was like an electric current, instantly piercing through all her weariness and numbness.
Those deep, always slightly mocking eyes flashed through her mind.
Her heart skipped a beat and then began to race uncontrollably.
"You...what did you say?"
Her voice was a little dry, and her hand holding the gun trembled slightly.
"The instructor is back! The angels said so! Zhixin and the others know where the instructor is!"
Ge Xiaolun spoke extremely quickly, as if afraid that if he slowed down even for a second, this wonderful news would disappear.
"We'll wait for everyone to gather, and then we'll set off to find him!"
Qi Lin suddenly stood up, her eyes rekindling with fighting spirit.
She deftly slung the sniper rifle over her back.
"What are you waiting for?"
Another set of ruins.
Zhao Xin found Liu Chuang and Rui Mengmeng, who were fighting hand-to-hand with several demon minions.
Without saying a word, he stabbed the last demon in the chest with his gun, and then shouted at Liu Chuang.
"Chuangzi! Stop hitting him!"
Liu Chuang cleaved open the head of a demon with an axe, turned around covered in blood, and roared impatiently.
"What the hell are you yelling about, Master Xin! Can't you see your Master Chuang is busy?!"
"The instructor is back!"
Zhao Xin's voice drowned out all the surrounding noise.
Liu Chuang's God-Slaying Axe, which he was about to swing down again, froze in mid-air.
He and Rui Mengmeng next to him stiffly turned their heads in unison to look at Zhao Xin.
The impatience and murderous aura on Liu Chuang's face disappeared, replaced by a look of bewilderment.
"Who...did you say came back?"
"Instructor Lin Ci! Our most awesome instructor! He's back!"
Zhao Xin repeated excitedly.
Liu Chuang threw down his axe, gave Zhao Xin a bear hug, and excitedly pounded his back.
"I knew it! I knew a man like the drill instructor wouldn't just disappear like that!"
"Quick! We need to get there right now!"
Soon after, the remaining members of the Super Soldier Corps gathered in a hidden underground parking lot.
Ge Xiaolun, Qi Lin, Zhao Xin, Liu Chuang, Rui Mengmeng...
Everyone's face bore the weariness of someone who had survived a disaster.
But in their eyes shone the same light, a light called hope.
Zhi Xin looked at the assembled crowd with a solemn expression.
She nodded.
"Everyone is here."
Devil One, Throne Room.
Cold and deathly silent.
Lin Ci sat leisurely on the enormous throne.
His slender fingers gently swirled a glass of scarlet liquid, his expression indifferent.
Below, Nightmare, along with a group of demon soldiers, lay pressed close to the ground.
They knelt on the ground in the most humble posture, not daring to even breathe.
The entire hall was so quiet that the only sound was their own rapid heartbeats.
Lin Ci shifted his gaze from the wine glass to the Nightmare trembling below.
When will Morgana be back?
His voice was soft and flat, devoid of any emotion.
But it was this calm voice that made Nightmare's body tremble violently.
"It...it should be...soon..."
Nightmare's voice trembled so badly it was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Lin Ci nodded, looked away, and didn't ask any more questions.
He came here for Sheryl, or rather Morgana.
The Demon Civilization is a considerable force in the known universe, with countless smaller civilizations under its command.
To subdue her is equivalent to subduing a vast star field.
If she is willing to submit, that would be best.
If you don't want to...
Lin Ci's fingertips lightly traced the smooth surface of the wine glass.
Then beat her until she submits.
He has never had much patience.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the main hall.
Sheeyi is back.
As soon as she stepped into Devil One, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression and deathly silence.
The corridor was deserted; the once bustling scene was nowhere to be seen.
An ominous premonition gripped her, sending a chill down her spine.
She quickened her pace and headed towards her main hall.
The massive palace doors were ajar.
She took a deep breath and slowly pushed it away.
The scene before her eyes made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
Her most loyal demon soldiers all knelt on one knee, facing the same direction.
On her throne, which symbolized absolute power, sat a man with black hair and black eyes.
That man was so handsome he seemed otherworldly, with a languid expression that carried an indifference that looked down upon all living beings.
He was looking at me with a... contemptuous gaze.
Lin Ci picked up the glass of red wine and took a small sip.
"Oh, it's the Demon Queen who's back."
Xueyi's body jolted violently.
Without thinking, she knelt heavily on the cold ground with a "thud".
Her head was bowed low, and her voice was filled with fear.
"I am merely a lowly soldier under the command of the Lord of All Gods."
Lin Ci put down his wine glass and let out a soft, ambiguous laugh.
"I don't recall ever subjugating your civilization."
Xueyi's heart suddenly tightened, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back.
She explained quickly.
“I, Shen Rongbing, have previously followed… Liang Bing… no, the Heavenly Revelation King.”
"During the Battle of the Angry Sea thirty thousand years ago, I was fortunate enough to witness the supreme majesty of my god from afar!"
She adopted the lowest possible stance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ci leaned forward slightly, his unfathomable eyes fixed on her.
"Since you know my majesty, how dare you declare yourself king in the universe?"
