The entire city is still rising rapidly.
Hera gripped the library door frame tightly with one hand to keep herself from flying around, and with the other hand she grabbed Little Illusion, which was buzzing around her like a fly, and held it in her palm.
"Ah! Boss, save me! You have to save me! I don't want to die! I haven't even eaten the brains of someone at the 'King's Army' level yet, I can't die!"
Hera gripped the door frame and Xiao Huan tightly, looking up at the sky.
The white clouds overhead were growing larger and larger, soon enveloping the entire city.
Whoosh—
The entire city suddenly plunged into the clouds, and a biting cold enveloped Hera.
The snow-white ends of her hair began to condense into ice crystals due to the extremely low temperature.
Hera held Xiao Huan's right hand and quickly transformed it into a fleshy ball that enveloped the entire insect, preventing its tiny body from freezing to death.
Hera estimated the temperature to be at least minus twenty degrees Celsius. Hera wasn't afraid of freezing to death, but Xiao Huan, being an insect, was very afraid of the cold, and she couldn't let Xiao Huan die.
"Ah! What happened? What happened?! Why did the world suddenly go dark!" Xiao Huan shouted anxiously when she saw that her world had lost its light.
The city traversed the hazy clouds for only a few seconds before everything around it became bright again.
The surrounding temperature also began to rise rapidly.
The city stopped its upward flight and came to a steady stop at its current altitude, just like a city in the sky.
The hand that had been covering Xiao Huan slowly returned to normal, and Hera stared blankly at her surroundings.
What a nice view……
This was Hera's first thought; at that moment, she was high above the clouds.
The clouds are trampled underfoot by the city, just like the earth itself.
The azure sky was completely clear except for the sun shining brightly.
If I had to describe the scenery at this moment, I would say...
Like heaven!
Little Huan flew dizzily to Hera's side, looking somewhat like she was lacking oxygen.
Upon seeing the surrounding scenery, he was first taken aback, then exclaimed in delight.
Wow! This is the first time I've ever flown this high!
I knew the oxygen was so thin.
However, Xiao Huan's current cultivation level is at the peak of the 'high-level' stage. A slightly thinner oxygen level won't be a big problem for it; it will adapt quickly.
White vapor began to rise around Hera, a reaction as the ice crystals condensed on her body began to vaporize.
Hera sensed the clone that had been left at the Star Burger shop and found that it was not dead and had even devoured several people, reaching the 'high-level' level. Hera was relieved.
Alright, now that I have a backup plan, I don't have to worry about dying. I can explore in peace.
After all, there's something fishy about such a large city flying in the air.
Of course, it's also a way to help those suffering in this city find peace.
Since they're already flying in the air, falling down means death, and staying in the air and starving also means death, so it's better to let Hera give them a quick death.
She refused to believe that, given their advanced level, the Night Star Clan could send high-level combat forces here so quickly.
"Stop looking around, let's wander around."
Hera reminded Xiao Huan, then started walking towards the road.
"Okay, boss, wait for me!"
I gently stepped on the road that was cracked into pieces, and the pieces wobbled for a moment before settling down.
Hera stepped on it, and the fragments continued to float without falling due to her weight.
It seems there's some magical force pulling everything up in the city.
It seems there's no need to worry about stepping on broken pieces while walking.
Hera picked up a passerby who had fainted due to the extremely low temperature and the current high altitude and low oxygen.
He opened his mouth, ready to bite down.
Just then, Hera caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and put the person she was holding down.
My gaze shifted to the edge of the city.
There was actually a strange creature there?
The alien creature clung to the edge of the city, trying to climb up, its body radiating an aura capable of annihilating a city.
Hera swallowed hard; the ordinary people in front of her suddenly seemed insignificant compared to this mutant.
Xiao Huan also saw this strange creature, and seeing Hera's poised and ready-to-attack appearance, a bad feeling immediately arose in her heart.
"Boss...you don't actually want to do it, do you?"
"no."
"Oh, that's good."
Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to eat it."
"Huh?" Xiao Huan's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"No way, boss! We're all different species, and it hasn't been stealing our food or bothering us. Let's not resort to violence!"
As long as he senses our alien aura, he can, he can…
At this point, Xiao Huan suddenly stopped, looked at Hera, and hissed strangely.
"Boss, why can't I sense your alien aura?"
Xiao Huan hadn't noticed before, mainly because Hera's abilities and her cannibalistic nature indicated that Hera was a different species.
However, upon closer inspection, it's clear that there's no trace of Hera's kind.
Upon hearing this, Hera calmly raised the gem hanging in her left hand. "This can conceal my presence."
Xiao Huan suddenly realized something was wrong, but then quickly realized that something was amiss.
Since Hera's aberration has been concealed, and Hera looks exactly like a human, that aberration wouldn't mistake Hera for a human and hunt her down, would it?
Thinking of this, Xiao Huan quickly spoke up to remind Hera.
"Boss! You'd better take this gem off right now, or that alien will come and kill you!"
But no sooner had she finished speaking than the alien creature climbed up, roared, and charged straight at Hera.
This alien species was entirely black, with a long tail nearly a meter long, and its slender limbs ran wildly on the asphalt road.
This is Hera's old friend, Nightkiller.
But this one is just a pure mutant, unlike the "Outcasts" we encountered before. The biggest difference is that it has no brains.
What a small world! I missed out on eating that [Night Kill] last time, so this is my chance to make up for it.
Hera lowered her body slightly, assuming a fighting stance, showing no intention of running away.
This terrified Little Huan, who was standing nearby (even though it, being an insect, didn't have any eggs).
"roar--!"
[Night Killer] roared and opened its huge mouth, which could cover its entire head, and bit down directly at Hera.
Hera suddenly raised her hand and grabbed straight at Nightkill's neck.
Just as he was about to catch him, a series of hurried footsteps came rushing from the side.
Before Hera could react, a hand grabbed her by the back of her collar and flew her away in a flash.
[Night Kill] thus missed his target, fell headfirst to the ground, and landed face-first in the mud.
Hera and the mysterious man landed on the ground, their gazes simultaneously fixed on Nightkill.
[Night Killer] got up from the ground, roared angrily, and pounced on the two of them again.
The mysterious man extended his index and middle fingers, transforming his hand into a sword, and stood towards [Night Killer], who was still a few meters away.
