Chapter 111: Absolute Suppression

Commander! A subordinate ran over in a panic, his voice choked with tears. “That star orb is going to destroy the entire bunker if it comes down! Maybe… maybe we should surrender? Better to live and fight another day!”

Slap! Zhou Huaian’s hand connected with the subordinate’s face, sending blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

“Surrender?” Zhou Huaian’s eyes were bloodshot. “Do you really believe those bastards’ lies? They say they’ll let us live now, but the moment that door opens, they’ll kill you the second you step out!”

Ignoring the subordinate, Zhou Huaian turned his gaze to the star orb on the screen, which had swelled to its limit. He slowly closed his eyes.

A sigh.

Sorry, Tian Lanxing.

This old life of mine has only lasted this long.

Outside the bunker.

“Smash it!” the commander shouted excitedly.

Twelve magical girls pressed their hands down in unison.

The star orb hurtled toward the bunker with devastating force.

The blinding light made everyone shut their eyes.

Just as the star orb was about to strike, the space ahead suddenly warped.

It was like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, ripples of spatial distortion spread outward.

Then, a spatial rift appeared.

A slender, fair hand reached out from the crack, and then snapped its fingers.

The next second, something unbelievable happened.

The star orb, powerful enough to annihilate the entire bunker, was yanked into another spatial rift without making a sound.

Dead silence fell over the field.

Both the defeated magical girls kneeling on the ground and the inspectors preparing to celebrate were frozen in shock.

Inside the bunker.

Zhou Huaian’s eyes went wide, and then he nearly wept with excitement.

He knew who had come.

No one else in the world could do something like that except that person!

From the spatial rift, a tall, cool figure stepped out slowly.

She just floated quietly in midair. But that absolute sense of oppression instantly swept through the entire field, making it hard for the enemies even to breathe.

“How is this possible?!” The commander’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head; his expression was a hundred times more horrified than if he’d seen a ghost.

“Aren’t you still in the underwater prison?! That godforsaken place is over six thousand kilometers away! How could you get here so fast?!”

The reason the commander hadn’t received news of the prison break was that Xie Guihe had issued a lockdown order.

Xie Guihe had vaguely sensed trouble and sealed off the news to avoid alarming his subordinates, fleeing alone, just like when he abandoned the city during the Heavenly Fire years ago.

A magical girl beside him swallowed hard and leaned in to whisper.

“Sir… I hear… I hear that Lord Tian Lanxing’s top speed is close to Mach fifteen… That’s twenty times faster than a commercial airliner…”

The commander’s legs gave way, and he nearly knelt in the mud.

Midair, Tian Lanxing’s blue eyes narrowed slightly.

[Talent Skill: Combat Instinct Activated.]

[Scanning threat sources…]

[Target positions locked!]

[Targets: Magical Girl Squad, twelve members.]

[Characteristics: Three Celestial Stars, five Haoxing-level, four Starlight-level.]

[Threat Assessment: No threat.]

[Optimal Solution: Current form sufficient.]

Tian Lanxing snorted coldly, her voice dripping with disdain.

“You pathetic trash dare to touch my people?”

The commander shuddered under her gaze.

Then, he suddenly started shouting like a madman.

But then an awkward scene unfolded.

Behind him, the twelve magical girls exchanged glances, but none of them moved an inch.

What nonsense was this man spouting?

Fight Tian Lanxing? Was that a battle? It was lining up to be slaughtered!

“Are you deaf?!” The commander stamped his feet in fury. “I said attack! Don’t you understand human speech?!”

One of the Starlight-level magical girls in the squad was on the verge of tears as she whispered.

“But… sir… she… she’s Lord Tian Lanxing…”

She was the world’s only Star God, level powerhouse! The faith of every magical girl!

You want me to attack my faith? You might as well just shoot us and be done with it!

The commander was livid. “So what if she’s Tian Lanxing?! Headquarters has already labeled her a rebel! Are you going to defy orders in public?!”

Hours earlier, the GSA had branded Tian Lanxing a rebel, though it was still confidential and not announced to the public.

He suddenly drew his sidearm and pointed it at the defeated magical girls sitting slumped nearby.

“Anyone who disobeys orders, I’ll immediately discharge her! You’ll end up just like these useless wretches! Trash for life!”

The moment he finished speaking.

“Ha.”

A Celestial Star, level magical girl at the front of the squad let out a cold laugh.

She made no effort to hide the disgust on her face. She spat on the ground and sneered.

“Fire me? Go ahead.”

“You Star Track old dogs and your dirty dealings, I’ve had enough! Day in and day out, we do all the dirty work, and you have the nerve to call it justice. I was unlucky enough to be assigned this crappy mission today!”

She looked up at Tian Lanxing in midair.

Her originally unruly eyes now blazed with fervent admiration.

“Make me attack Lord Tian Lanxing? Dream on! I quit!”

With that, she tapped her foot, burst of star power, and flew away without looking back.

This immediately caused a huge uproar in the squad.

“Damn it, she’s right! I’m out too!”

“Exactly! Who do you think you are? Acting like a big shot with a little authority!”

“Fire me if you want. I’ll go back to farming! Better than being a dog here!”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, four more magical girls flew away.

In the blink of an eye, half of the originally imposing twelve-member elite squad had bolted.

The remaining eight girls stood rooted, torn between staying and leaving, their faces filled with conflict. They exchanged glances, their hands holding their weapons trembling.

They didn’t have the boldness of their leader; after all, they had families to support, and the military allowance was a major source of income.

Midair, Tian Lanxing sighed as she watched the scene.

She knew that those who hadn’t left didn’t really want to fight her. They were just poor souls forced into a corner by life and the system.

“Since you can’t bring yourselves to do it, don’t force it. I’ll give you a hand.”

Another snap of her fingers. A special kind of star power spread outward from Tian Lanxing.

The eight magical girls below let out a synchronized grunt. They felt a heaviness in their chests, their star power stalled for an instant, then dissolved like melting snow. Their magical armor dissipated. In a flash, everyone was reduced to their ordinary civilian forms.

The girls, temporarily stripped of their power, collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
