30th Chapter: Loli Lion Roar

"""

"Does anyone know what's more terrifying than being carried by a superwoman running at 210 kilometers per hour for three hours?"

"Let me tell you. It's when she increases the speed to 300 kilometers per hour."

Lin Xue and I were both amazed that we actually survived. At the beginning, I thought I would suffocate and die in the 300 kilometers per hour wind, but it turned out that human survival ability always bursts out with miraculous power. Although Lin Xue and I were already seriously oxygen-deprived.

We now felt dizzy, our whole bodies aching, our joints and muscles stiffening as if cement had been poured into them. A slight movement made our faces contort in pain. After being blown face-on by 300 kilometers per hour wind for three hours, our hair stood straight back, and the fat and muscles on our faces shifted severely from their original positions, gathering near our ears in ripples. When we looked at each other, we both jumped at the sight of each other's strange appearances.

"Your... sister... is really amazing..." Lin Xue stammered.

"...It's good to be alive..."

I couldn't understand why Pandora, who usually cared so much about my safety, was so careless and casual at this time. Did she not realize that as a carbon-based life form, her older brother couldn't be compared to a Xyrin Apostle? Or did Pandora think this was a fun game?

Thinking of the interests of this violent little loli, maybe it was really possible...

After resting on the ground for about ten minutes, Lin Xue and I finally stood up with difficulty and began to observe the surroundings.

We had now arrived at the edge of the forest. Ahead was a deep valley from where continuous sounds of explosions and roars were coming. Pandora, having switched to combat mode, was quietly watching the valley below.

Lin Xue and I staggered like zombies to Pandora's side and looked down.

At this glance, both Lin Xue and I took a deep breath.

Magical Beasts, the entire valley was filled with various magical beasts! They were as dense as a surging black tide. Although we couldn't name them, their massive sizes and the sound, light, and electromagnetic effects of their spells indicated that any one of them on Earth would be as disastrous as Godzilla. In the middle of these thousands of magical beasts, about fifty Xyrin Warriors, who had transformed most of their bodies into massive weapons resembling humanoid war chariots, were surrounded. This disparity was akin to a tiny boat amidst a terrifying flood, constantly on the verge of capsizing. Although the Xyrin Warriors, transformed into humanoid weapons, had horrifying attack power and strong defense, facing the overwhelming number of magical beasts, their defeat was just a matter of time—I could even imagine the scene when these warriors, exhausted of energy, would be devoured by hungry magical beasts the instant their last bit of energy was depleted. I could even imagine the magical beasts having indigestion afterward... ahem, I'm overthinking it.

Although it was the first time seeing such a scene, Lin Xue, who had no prior understanding of the Xyrin Empire, was obviously more shocked than I was. She stared dumbfounded at the future soldiers fighting to the death against the magical beast army, and only after a while did she snap back to reality, looking at me as if I were a monster, saying, "Are you really the emperor of the Xyrin Empire?"

I nodded.

"You're not planning to conquer Earth, are you?"

Upon hearing this, Pandora's eyes flashed—what was this little war maniac so excited about?!

To prevent Lin Xue, whose thoughts had started to run wild, from pushing me to the human opposition, I hurried to divert her attention and said to Pandora, "Pandora, do you have a plan? There are so many magical beasts; they won't be easy to handle..."

Pandora nodded lightly and replied, "It can be handled."

...Was the combat power of a Xyrin General really this exaggerated?

Not only me, but Lin Xue also looked disbelieving, but Pandora didn't say much. Instead, she pressed her ear with her hand. With a "buzz," the green mask on her face retracted.

Under Lin Xue and my puzzled gazes, Pandora crossed her arms over her chest and slowly bent down. At the same time, a continuous "buzzing" sound, like the flow of electric current, came from inside her. This showed that Pandora was working hard to compress powerful energy.

This posture looked so much like the charging up move in a fighting game.

After about ten seconds, it seemed Pandora finally completed the charge… ahem, the energy compression. Suddenly, she stood up straight and hovered about half a meter off the ground. Simultaneously, small jet nozzles appeared at various joints of her silver battle armor, spewing intense high-temperature flames. The high temperature of the flames forced Lin Xue and me to retreat several steps back before we could barely withstand it.

Floating in the air, Pandora took a deep breath. Instantly, three circles, each with a diameter of over ten meters and emitting dazzling red light, appeared in the air a meter in front of her in a triangular formation. The complex structures of these circular patterns reminded me of the magic arrays in fantasy novels.

Accompanied by a piercing scream from Pandora (I was now very curious why this move had to be screamed out...), the three huge red energy arrays emitted a blinding light. The next second, the dark red beams of energy poured out from the arrays with a terrifying low hum, rushing down towards the magical beast horde in the valley.

In the blinding light, Lin Xue and I involuntarily closed our eyes. All I could hear was the deafening roar and the horrified screams of the magical beasts being slaughtered.

This strike, directly eliminating a third of the magical beast horde, also caused over half of the valley to collapse completely.

It was then that I finally understood why Pandora floated in the air and opened the small jet engines. Such a powerful burst of energy must have an incredibly strong recoil. If she launched it from the ground, the ground beneath our feet would have completely collapsed.

Lin Xue's somewhat trembling voice came through, "Chen Jun, you really won't attack humans, will you?"

I was about to cry, "Miss Lin, I am truly a human..."

Pandora's attack had a very significant effect. The magical beasts, under such a strong blow, immediately panicked. No matter how high their intelligence, they were still beasts. Faced with an irresistible and powerful enemy, they instantly lost the will to fight. The makeshift demon beast army began a full-scale rout, with countless magical beasts being trampled and injured in the process. Luckily, the fifty or so Xyrin Warriors floated into the air in time; otherwise, our assistance would have turned into using a borrowed knife to kill.

Pandora, who had made a great contribution, quietly walked to my side. Her silver battle armor revealed many heat dissipation holes, blowing hot air from inside—this girl was really a high-energy consumer.

Curiously, I touched Pandora's hair—it was scorching!

"Pandora, what was that move just now? The power was too exaggerated, right?" Looking at the valley, which now seemed like a scene after doomsday, I couldn't help but click my tongue.

Pandora lifted a sign from who knows where, with two large words written on it: "Helium Flash."

That scream earlier had left her unable to speak.

Helium Flash? I thought it was called Loli Lion Roar...

After the magical beast horde disappeared into a cloud of dust from our sight, the fifty lucky surviving Xyrin Warriors came to us.
