Consumed by boundless remorse and overwhelming shame, Lady Ma finally hanged herself. Even after death, Lady Ma continued to pester Jiang Ziya, insisting that he bestow upon her a divine position. However, all the divine titles had already been assigned, leaving none vacant. Helpless and cornered, Jiang Ziya yielded to personal bias and appointed her as the Goddess of the Broom, serving as a principal malevolent deity among the Five Dipper Stars.

An explicit yet covert force began to bare its hideous claws, gradually reaching outward from Tide City and the Tide Waters toward distant realms.

Miki Jiro's words caught Noda Taro completely off guard. Not only did Miki Jiro know about this war, but he even identified the enemy's naval commander.

Nevertheless, security remained exceptionally rigorous across various checkpoints, fortress gates, and perimeter guards. Travel permits for soldiers and civilians, as well as official credentials, were meticulously verified. Whenever foreigners or suspicious spies of unknown origins were suspected, the police would immediately arrest them.

From the southwest direction, a massive, pale-silver radiance descended from the sky. Unlike the pristine, sacred silver-white generated by the prayers of magicians during ordinary rituals, this was the gentle luminescence uniquely characteristic of the Furball.

"Honestly... Is it completely invisible?" Rolona rubbed her forehead in frustration and sighed. She felt intensely annoyed that while she was acutely aware of what she was facing, the conclusion she reached after careful deliberation—that "doing nothing" was precisely the most appropriate course of action—was so infuriatingly bitter to accept.

Cheng Gang immediately appealed for assistance to the navigation station on the Chinese mainland via the aviation communication system, while simultaneously increasing engine power to fly toward the mainland and placing a phone call to Shi Yuanzhou at Tianjie Corporation.

Xu Zhijie tucked into the meal without the slightest inhibition. Even if the dishes were poisoned, they would merely serve as condiments to him, for he was utterly immune to all poisons and had no need for any caution.

"How sour..." Gu Yunniang cast a sidelong glance at Huang Laifu while playfully teasing the little Huang Dalang cradled in her arms.

"Shut up, what nonsense are you spewing!" Hearing Zhang Zhongyue's words, Zhang Pinsheng immediately rebuked him.

First, use the mutation aftereffects to bridge the distance between their relationship, then proceed to the room for a detailed discussion, highlighting the upcoming national colosseum tournament and the impending crisis facing the District B gladiators.

"Welcome to our post-match interview segment. I am your host, Yu Shuang. First of all, congratulations to IG for defeating GNR two to nought in the opening match, securing the team's victorious start to the spring split."

Upon reflection, it was likely because the Eastern Wasteland channeled the largest annual influx of gladiators into these three provinces.

"I'm asking you, are you going to drag this out or not? Does last night's wager still count or what?" Zhang Yu urged impatiently.

How many lives could be saved? Someone had once constructed a mathematical model: based on the population baseline of the Hua nation, an uncontrolled awakening of dark humans would likely cause casualties on the scale of one hundred thousand. If calculated using the total population baseline of the Blue Star, it would likely result in casualties numbering in the millions.

The doctor said nothing further, sighed softly, patted her shoulder, and turned to walk away.

Take the catapult snake, for instance. A single launch could propel it forty to fifty meters, and it excelled at stealthy ambushes. Countless catapult snakes had no inkling that disaster was descending upon them; instead, they intended to exploit this prime opportunity to snatch a few panicked animals for dinner, among which included the ferocious five-footed beasts.

However, as an unmarried princess, rather than residing habitually in the palace residential district near Storm Palace, she constantly lingered in the old town—which seemed somewhat peculiar.

Song Ningxi nodded. Although she was deeply curious about this stubby-tailed chicken, she felt an even greater sense of dread toward the unknown. It was far wiser to keep her distance from such an unidentifiable yet bizarre creature.

Without pausing to sense her current level of strength, Su Yun hurried back into the Nine Heavens Palace.

He rushed all the way into the dining hall they had occupied earlier. The ground was littered with blood and charred corpses, bearing almost no signs of a struggle, which indicated that the intruder was immensely powerful! He searched anxiously, but failed to find any trace of Chen Lang and the others, though he did manage to recover the phylactery rolling discarded in a corner.

Impossible. Even if the Tais Empire had to dig three feet into the earth, they would unearth such a treasure if it were stolen. Therefore, only one possibility remained: it was a bestowal from the Emperor.

Truth be told, the moment Lin慕瑶 (Lin Muyao) realized it was this fellow, she genuinely felt a fleeting sense of astonishment.

Although he had never truly interacted or dealt with the people Grant had mentioned,

The moment it condensed, it was hurled forward, and a streak of blood could be seen darting directly toward one of the clusters without meeting any resistance.

Zhong Ling'er was extremely reluctant at this moment, wishing she could roll around on the ground in protest, because she had already heard that a major event had broken out in the outside world. How could someone as restless as her endure staying put, only to find that her master had imposed a direct prohibition?

After purging these hairs, one by one, their complexions flushed with a much healthier glow, and some were even able to stand up right away.

Especially certain urban management officers, who acted as if they were terrified the world didn't know they were urban management, collecting fees wherever they went.

Since Lin Muyao herself had fled from the battle and failed to show up, that quarter of the fence-sitters learned to be smart this time, raising their hands one by one.

"We shall strive to go and return swiftly, then seize the moment before Gao Lan receives word to launch a surprise raid on the rear of Linzi, executing a pincer attack from front and rear with Hansheng. Once we handle Gao Lan, we can capture Qingzhou all the sooner!" Gan Ning declared.

"I am the most knowledgeable about this project, and I possess a clear grasp of the overall vision. Moreover, I thoroughly understand President Xu and the others' concepts and future planning for this project," Ailsa said with confidence.

So I opened the window and discovered that it looked out directly onto a major thoroughfare, bustling with endless streams of pedestrians and traffic. Yin Xiran, if you want to achieve fame, jumping right down from here is the correct choice!

The hotel staff had also changed into all-white attire today. Each of them wore smiles as they guided the guests attending today's engagement ceremony.

Dawn was unaffected by this incident; they still proceeded step-by-step according to their prior plan, advancing steadily and securing every gain.

Zhao Hui and Li Zhenguo arrived in front of Jinshui Bridge, where numerous tourists were sightseeing. Some were Chinese, while others were foreigners. Among the visitors, young people predominated, and everyone was using their cameras to capture memorable, picturesque moments for their loved ones and friends.
