"So, what's the bad news?" Xiao Qing asked coldly.
"The bad news is, things are very bad." Shi Gaofei blinked. "Based on what we've seen so far, those two guys, Tian and Prince, are finished. Phoenix is seriously injured, with more than half of its energy depleted. Gonggong is seriously injured, and his vital signs are rapidly fading. As for Chen Xiao... damn it, this guy was supposed to be our strongest and most reliable asset, but he fell at the very beginning of the battle. Now I can't detect any energy fluctuations from him—oh, of course, he's alive, that goes without saying, ladies, so don't rush to cry."
"Is this the bad news you were talking about?" Xiao Qing drew his longsword and gently wiped it.
"No. The real bad news is that our strongest fighting force is completely wiped out. Old Tian, Prince, and Phoenix, all three S-class fighters, are gone. The only ones left unscathed are probably Zhu Rong and Tyrannosaurus Rex, those two brainless guys. Uh, as for Fatty, I can basically ignore him. And unfortunately, the enemy still has two S-class fighters at 100% health!"
Shi Gaofei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead as he said this: "It's like the final exchange of pieces in a game of chess. We've exchanged all our trump cards, but the opponent still has two S-level pieces!"
...
...
"What a disappointment, Subject Number One."
Number Two and Number Three stood beside Chen Xiao, looking at him coldly with a condescending gaze, even tinged with pity and mockery: "According to the information we obtained before, you should be very strong. But now it seems you are utterly vulnerable."
Number Two gently kicked Chen Xiao with his foot.
Number Three looked around: "Oh, there's also Zhu Rong. Hmm, it seems Mr. Copper is also out of commission. As for the other guys, they're just rats to us." As he spoke, he glanced upstairs. The fat man and Tyrannosaurus Rex standing in the hole in the wall on the tenth floor shrank back as his gaze swept over them.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex looked at the fat man beside him: "What do we do now? Go down and fight them. Unless you have any other ideas, you fatso?"
The fat man swallowed hard, his expression strange: "A solution? Oh! Of course there is a solution! It's just... let's pray! Pray that God will bless us."

...
Zhu Rong knelt beside Gong Gong, her hands tightly embracing him, trying to wipe the blood from his mouth. However, the rupture of his internal organs caused the blood to gush out continuously, no matter how much she wiped. Gong Gong could no longer speak, his eyes were lifeless, and he looked at Zhu Rong helplessly, his lips moving.
"Don't speak... I know, I know..." Zhu Rong's eyes were incredibly gentle at this moment, a gentle tone she had never used before: "I know, I know everything, I know what you want to say, I know everything."
Zhu Rong leaned down and whispered in Gonggong's ear, "I know I've never been very good to you, I've been rough, I've been tyrannical, and sometimes I've even kicked you off the bed... But in my heart, I've always loved you, always and always. I know I haven't done well in the past, but I want to tell you, that guy, although I once loved him, he's in the past, he's in the past. You are my husband, you are the man I love most in my life now. I promise you, we will die together today."
As she spoke, Zhu Rong stood up, holding Gonggong in her arms. Her face was already wet with tears. Her petite body held the burly Gonggong as she raised her head and stared at Number Two and Number Three in the distance, as well as the Sea God…
Poseidon had been helped up. She was seriously injured. The collision of her spiritual power with Phoenix and the collapse of her force field caused her to vomit blood continuously. One of her arms was completely crippled, making it impossible for her to even stand.
Members of the Third Organization surrounded her. Poseidon struggled for a moment, spat out a mouthful of blood, and gasped, "Let me go."
She broke free from the hands of others and staggered forward. After a few steps, she reached the phoenix and collapsed again, this time barely managing to support herself with her hands.
The two women knelt on the ground, facing each other, their eyes locked. Phoenix seemed to want to laugh, but she didn't even have the strength to.
"You know what? I hate you more and more." Poseidon still forced a smile. "Even though I feel like I don't even recognize you, I just hate you. I hate seeing you standing next to that man... I don't even know why..."
Phoenix was laughing, but her laughter had a mocking quality to it.
"So, I will kill you. You are indeed stronger than me. But so what!" A hint of ferocity flashed in the sea god's eyes: "I don't care about your human rules and regulations. I can kill you, I can do it!"
…………
Zhu Rong carried Gonggong towards this place, with Number Two and Number Three standing opposite her.
Zhu Rong held her husband tightly with one arm, and slowly raised her other hand, palm facing upwards... With a boom, a raging flame ignited and boiled in her palm! The fireball quickly transformed into a pillar of fire, shooting straight into the sky, reaching a height of over ten meters!!
Zhu Rong's expression was resolute, even with a hint of deathly desolation.
She smiled faintly, yet her smile remained so stubborn.
Then she turned around and a fire dragon roared as it pounced on test subjects number two and three.
The two men stood there, looking at Zhu Rong with disdain, as the fire dragon flew towards them. The enormous, roaring fire dragon flew right in front of them, and an invisible layer of spiritual power in the air blocked it, as if an invisible glass wall stood between them. The fire dragon pounced on it fiercely, crashing and crashing, roaring wildly, its flames boiling... but no matter what it did, it could not move forward another step!
Zhu Rong showed no sign of panic; her cold smile remained, a smile that was still strong and stubborn, as she unleashed all her energy! The flames raged even more fiercely, relentlessly assaulting her opponent's psychic defenses again and again…
In the end, blood even flowed from her ears and nose—a sign of overexertion of her mental energy!
"Alright, stop playing around," Number Two said in a low voice, frowning.
Number Three sneered, reached out, and gently clenched his fist with his five fingers spread wide.
The telekinetic energy quickly converged, and an invisible net instantly bound the fire dragon. The seemingly enormous fire dragon was suddenly crushed by the telekinetic energy, and then the flames were forcibly suppressed. After struggling and rolling a few times, it finally went out with an unwilling roar!
thump!
Zhu Rong knelt down amidst the ruins of the long street. Number Three, with a sinister grin, walked over and stood before Zhu Rong.
"Zhurong, the God of Fire... Hmph, what a laughable name." He looked down at Zhurong: "You're nothing but a woman who can set things on fire—nothing more!"
Zhu Rong raised her eyelids, her eyes cold, and suddenly swung her fist to smash it hard into the other person's face. But before she could even raise her hand, the other person grabbed her wrist.
"The difference in strength is too great; such provocation is nothing short of laughable," Number Three sneered.
Zhu Rong was lifted up by his wrist, her body hanging limply, but she still looked coldly at her opponent with her eyelids raised.
At that moment, a hint of a happy smile finally flashed in her eyes...
In that instant, two flames suddenly burst forth from Zhu Rong's eyes! No, flames erupted from her entire body! The flames transformed into a rocket and shot towards Number Three's face!
At such close range, Number Three hadn't expected this woman to still have the strength to launch a sneak attack. He instantly released his mental defenses, but he was still burned on the cheek by the flames...
With a hiss, a burning pain shot through my face! A burn mark lay across my face!
"Damn woman!" Number Three roared in fury. With a flick of his finger, Zhu Rong was sent flying far away. When she landed on the ground, there was a bloody hole in her chest, and blood was gushing out!
However, she still held Gonggong tightly in her arms.
