177: Lilith: Be my man

"Buzz—!"

As Qin Lang's declarative words fell,

The massive array diagram, spanning a hundred miles across the sky, roared into operation.

Ten Directions Sky-Locking Array!

Countless golden chains emerged from the Void Realm, like divine punishment, tightly entangling the foreign race powerhouses below who hadn't had time to react.

"Is that... a human Sixth-Rank Great Expert?!"

Looking at the dense figures above, exuding terrifying pressure, the previously arrogant Fifth-Tier foreign races were left with nothing but endless despair in their eyes.

A trap.

This was a deadly trap specifically targeting them!

"Kill!"

Without giving the foreign races any chance to breathe,

A human Sixth-Tier powerhouse in a Tang suit stepped out into the air, and with every move, thunder filled the sky like a prison, instantly suppressing the entire scene.

"Ah—!"

Screams rose one after another.

Those foreign race powerhouses, usually so arrogant, were now like lambs to the slaughter, completely unable to fight back.

"I refuse to accept this!"

Just then, a roar filled with savagery and madness rang out.

A five-meter-tall Demon Race Sixth-Tier powerhouse, in order to rescue his nephew trapped in the array, recklessly burned his Origin demonic blood.

He wielded a giant axe the size of a door panel, his body engulfed in monstrous Devilish Qi.

"Get out of my way!"

Ignoring the lives of his fellow clansmen around him, he cleaved with his axe, actually tearing a gap in the golden chain net.

Attempting to break through by force!

"Trying to leave? Stay!"

The Martial Artist Guild was well-prepared.

A second human Sixth-Tier powerhouse instantly appeared, joining forces with the old man in the Tang suit, blocking the Demon Race's path from left and right.

However, that Demon Race Sixth-Tier was also fighting desperately, completely adopting a suicidal fighting style.

Seeing that the encirclement was about to be broken by him,

"Slash."

From the Nine Heavens above, an extremely cold whisper suddenly came.

No superfluous words.

Just one word.

Immediately after,

A terrifying blade light, spanning heaven and earth, seemed to fall from the depths of the starry river.

That blade light was too fast, too sharp.

It even cut open a dark rift in space.

"Seventh-Tier... Great Power!"

The madness in the Demon Race Sixth-Tier's eyes instantly turned into extreme terror.

He wanted to dodge, but found his body completely locked by an invisible will.

"Pfft!"

The first strike landed.

The Demon Race's proudly hard demonic body, along with the giant axe, instantly shattered.

Followed by the second strike.

As the blade light flashed, his Divine Soul, along with his broken body, was completely annihilated, turning into dust scattered across the sky.

Silence.

Deathly silence.

With their backbone instantly killed, the remaining foreign races completely collapsed.

Despair spread.

The subsequent battle became a one-sided slaughter.

In just ten minutes, the Taihang Mountains returned to peace.

"Good kid, this time it's all thanks to you!"

After the battle, Commander Xu, who was in charge of the operation, strode over, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Qin Lang.

"Using yourself as bait to completely annihilate the lurking main force."

"I will definitely report this immense military achievement to the Alliance and credit you with the greatest contribution!"

He waved his hand, and a pile of spoils of war was brought up.

"These are the Storage Pouches left by the foreign races. As a reward, you can choose three first."

Qin Lang didn't stand on ceremony.

A golden light flashed in his eyes.

Fiery Eyes of Truth!

In his vision, the strength of the treasure light from the Storage Pouches was clear at a glance.

He swiftly and accurately picked the three with the strongest glow.

They contained biological energy stones and rare Materials, enough to replenish all his consumption from the previous battle, and even make a significant profit.

After a simple rest,

Qin Lang and Ran Qing boarded Commander Xu's special plane and, escorted by several powerhouses, safely returned to the Capital City.

"Junior, thank you."

At the school gate, Ran Qing looked at Qin Lang, her beautiful eyes shimmering.

This joint operation gave her a whole new understanding of this junior.

"You're too kind, Senior. Let's keep in touch in the future."

The two exchanged a smile, a unique understanding shared between comrades-in-arms.

Back at Olympus Academy,

Qin Lang received a hero's welcome.

Countless students surrounded the roads, their eyes filled with fanaticism and admiration.

"Senior Qin Lang! You are our pride!"

A girl from Tong City, her eyes red, squeezed through the crowd and handed Qin Lang a handmade safety charm.

"Thank you... for saving my hometown."

Qin Lang held the warm safety charm, a warm current flowing through his heart.

This must be the meaning of guardianship.

"Brother Lang! You're famous! Completely famous!"

As soon as he returned to the dorm, Gao Meng rushed in, excitedly red-faced, holding his phone.

"Look at this trending topic! This click-through rate!"

"Now the entire internet is calling you 'National Husband'!"

Qin Lang smiled calmly and casually tossed him a handful of four-star energy talismans.

"Take these and play, don't be so stingy in the future."

After sending Gao Meng away,

Qin Lang closed the door, lay on his bed, and let out a long sigh.

It's finally over.

Just then,

The Little White Cat, who had been sleeping on the pillow, suddenly opened her eyes.

In those heterochromatic pupils, a light of wisdom not belonging to a beast flickered.

"Meow..."

A soft call.

Lilith awakened.

Through Little White's memories, she instantly read Qin Lang's experiences of the past few days.

Even as proud as she was, her eyes now held a hint of shock.

"In just a few days, you've grown to such an extent..."

"Your potential is even more terrifying than I imagined."

Qin Lang sat up, looking at the Little White Cat before him.

"Good thing you're awake."

"After entering the Rainbow Bridge, can I find a way to completely break your curse?"

Lilith, however, shook her head.

She jumped onto Qin Lang's chest, her cat eyes staring fixedly at him, her tone becoming unprecedentedly serious.

"Breaking the curse is just the first step."

"Qin Lang, I have a more long-term goal."

"I want to go home."

"Back to my home planet, Azeroth."

Qin Lang was slightly taken aback.

Lilith continued:

"Deep within these Deep Space Ruins, an ancient 'Star Gate' is hidden."

"That is the only passage that can cross star systems and lead to my home planet."

"But activating it requires an astronomical amount of biological energy, a number that you, as you are now, cannot even imagine."

At this point, Lilith paused.

She suddenly stood upright, placing her two front paws on Qin Lang's shoulders.

Although she was in the form of a cat, at this moment, she exuded an innate queenly majesty.

"I know this is difficult."

"Therefore, I am willing to give everything I have."

She swore by her impossibly long royal true name, her tone as solemn as if she were reading a sacred covenant.

"Qin Lang, let's make a deal."

"As long as you can help me return to Planet Azeroth,"

"I will make you my only husband."

"When I ascend to the throne, you will be the most noble..."

"Man of the King."
