Chapter 3 Between the Dry Wood Titan and the Vermilion Bird

The three of them hovered between the Dry Wood Titan and the Vermilion Bird apparition. Su Ni Sheng and Hanba were indifferent and casual, as if they couldn't feel the surging divine power and scorching heat.

Penguin Achille, on the other hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead, muttering to himself, "Whew, luckily I made it..."

The Vermilion Bird didn't restrain its fiery flames because of Su Ni Sheng's arrival.

Its furious eyes shone with raging red flames, including the three newly arrived people within the range of the burning flames brewing in its mouth.

"A damp-born, egg-hatched animal."

Hanba snorted coldly and waved her palm in reverse, stirring up an even more turbulent and violent burning wind, directly dispersing the burning flames in the Vermilion Bird's throat.

The remaining flames rose with the wind, but before they could radiate heat and melt the surrounding surviving buildings,

they were absorbed into the light, blue, ethereal wings worn by Hanba, causing a tiny spark to light up one corner of the blue veil.

Su Ni Sheng, on the other hand, silently drew a long sword without a blade, as blunt and clumsy as a piece of iron.

She pierced it into the abdomen of the Vermilion Bird apparition, using the flat blade to prop up the finger of the Dry Wood Titan.

Buzz—

The Dry Wood Titan's giant Disintegration Art in its demigod form shot out like a ray of dark-green light, piercing through several tall buildings, melting out uniform round holes.

The momentum didn't diminish as it poured into the distant ocean.

Wherever the dark-green beam passed, the sea surface boiled and melted.

A huge amount of seawater poured into the deep cavity carved out by the Disintegration Art, stirring up turbulent waves.

"..."

Su Ni Sheng glanced at the several tall buildings that were slowly collapsing, silently put away her long sword, rubbed her sword-holding shoulder, and turned to look at the Vermilion Bird apparition, taking out an old, yellowed, blank scroll from the void.

The Vermilion Bird seemed to realize something, and let out an unwilling, angry cry, but it could only watch as the blank scroll bloomed with light, absorbing it little by little into the scroll.

Whoosh—

Accompanied by the air rushing back and dust flying,

the Vermilion Bird's huge body disappeared from the spot, leaving only a deep, crystallized pit burned by the high temperature.

And on the blank scroll, there was an extra lifelike Vermilion Bird with outstretched wings, depicted in meticulous detail.

With the enemy gone, the Dry Wood Titan's figure gradually shrank.

The surrounding tree roots and vines disintegrated on their own, turning into ash and blending into the wind,

revealing Li Ang hidden deep within.

He had already taken out a set of clothes from his sodium ring and changed into them, looking at the three suddenly appearing people with a slight frown.

"Don't worry,"

Penguin Achille seemed to know what Li Ang was thinking, and said with a smile as he put away his handkerchief, "We just came back from the outer realm, and we weren't eavesdropping on your life-and-death battle with the Special Affairs Bureau."

He looked around at the devastated and broken streets, clicking his tongue in wonder, "You guys made quite a commotion.

Young people are so energetic."

"The three of you..."

Li Ang considered his words and slowly said, "What are you doing here?"

"We're here to back you up, what else?"

The Hanba girl raised her chin in an old-fashioned manner, folding her arms in front of her chest. "I heard you were being wronged, so I came to see what was going on.

After all, you are the agent I'm in charge of.

But it looks like you're quite spirited, even daring to pin the Vermilion Bird's phantom on the ground and beat it.

Not bad."

The Hanba girl, who called herself Ba, nodded approvingly, and the sparks on the edge of her light gauze garment gradually extinguished and dimmed.

"..."

Li Ang clicked his tongue. He had actually been prepared to use the Star Gate's teleportation ability to avoid the Vermilion Bird's burning flames after releasing the Disintegration Beam.

"Let's talk about old times later. Right now, let's discuss compensation for you."

Achille cleared his throat, looked around, waved his mini-cane, and gently tapped the air beneath his feet.

Buzz—

An invisible wave spread from the tip of the cane.

A tall building next to them, which was burning with raging flames, suddenly froze.

Then, the flames retracted, the cracks were repaired, and the rubble that had fallen to the ground flew up out of thin air, returning to the walls of the tall building's roof terrace.

The entire building was restored to its original state,

standing out extremely abruptly in the devastated urban ruins.

Crackling, crackling.

The advertisement screen at the bottom of the tall building flickered for a while, and then the scene of Jian Rushuang and the others in the wilderness appeared.

They seemed to have seen the changes in the city through high-altitude satellites, and were staring at the screen with their mouths open, speechless.

"Ms. Su..."

Jian Rushuang came back to her senses and was about to say something,

but was interrupted by Su Ni Sheng, who said expressionlessly, "Who made the decision?"

"Ah?"

Jian Rushuang was stunned when she heard this, and suddenly realized, falling silent.

"Who made the decision?"

Su Ni Sheng's attitude was calm and serene. For a moment, Li Ang felt that she seemed closer to the Wishing Machine phantom in the [The Long Night Is Coming] script mission.

"..."

On the screen, all the Special Affairs Bureau personnel fell into an eerie silence.

After a long while, a hoarse, low male voice came from outside the screen, "Ms. Su, it was me."

Li Ang raised an eyebrow. The speaker was clearly communicating with Su Ni Sheng through the footage being broadcast by Jian Rushuang and the others.

Although he didn't know who the person was, judging from the drastic change in Jian Rushuang and the others' expressions, he should be a high-ranking official in the Special Affairs Bureau.

Su Ni Sheng looked at the advertisement screen and said in a calm tone, "You, and all the subordinates who helped you advise, formulate, and execute the decision, can all get lost."

"Ms. Su?!"

On the advertisement screen, several Special Affairs Bureau personnel exclaimed in shock, "This, this is against the rules!!"

Su Ni Sheng didn't even bother to pay attention to these people, but just continued to look at the screen.

After a moment, the hoarse, low male voice came from outside the screen, "Ms. Su...

Is this the decision of the Heterogeneous Academy?"

"My thoughts are the decisions of the Heterogeneous Academy."

Su Ni Sheng said calmly, "Now I am relieving you of all your positions, stripping you of your power, and permanently banning you from employment.

All of you will be punished according to the severity of the mistakes you made, in accordance with the regulations.

Suspension, dismissal, imprisonment, the rest of your life in jail.

I will send people to supervise, and those who violate or cover up will be held jointly liable.

I will kill the people Li Ang didn't kill."

"..."

The low, hoarse male voice was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty, "Yes."

Su Ni Sheng stopped looking at the screen, turned her head, and said to Li Ang, who was slightly surprised, "Would you be satisfied with this solution?"

Li Ang raised an eyebrow, "Huh?"

"If you do something wrong, you must be punished."

Su Ni Sheng said calmly, "The Special Affairs Bureau made a mistake, so naturally it must pay the price."

"Just like what you said just now,"

The penguin Achille next to him gave Li Ang a friendly smile and added leisurely, "Now, you are the big picture.

Hehe, how does it feel to be the center of the world?"
