"Cough, cough... This tastes awful."
Elena downed the Elixir in one gulp.
She casually tossed the empty bottle into the sea.
Despite her verbal complaints, her complexion visibly regained its rosy hue.
"Boss, those mad dogs don't seem to plan on running."
She picked up the dagger from the ground and pointed ahead.
On the ice.
Those seven or eight members of the Gods' Guard, clad in silver light armor, had just witnessed Fenrir being blasted into nothingness.
They felt no fear.
They did not flee.
Instead.
A sickly flush appeared on their pale faces.
Their eyes were bloodshot.
These were brainwashed fanatics.
The last remnants of Odin's lingering poison.
"Kill Qin Yu!!"
"Become sacrifices for Lord Fenrir!!"
"For glory!!"
They roared.
Treading on blood-stained, shattered ice.
Like a horde of Zombies devoid of pain, they launched a suicidal charge.
Each one clutched a glowing object in their hand.
[Item: High-Energy Glory Bomb (Unstable)]
[Description: A specialty of the Nordic Zone. Once detonated, it's powerful enough to level half a soccer field.]
"Trying to play suicide bombers?"
Li Ruobing's expression changed.
"Quick! Focus fire! Don't let them get close!"
"Rat-a-tat-tat-tat!!"
The Valkyries aboard the President frantically pulled their triggers.
Bullets poured out like they were free.
But against this kind of reckless, suicidal charge.
Ordinary suppressive fire seemed somewhat feeble.
One Guard member had his leg blown off by a large-caliber round.
He actually began crawling across the ice.
Dragging a bloody trail behind him.
Still determined to throw the bomb.
"Is this faith?"
"Truly disgusting."
Qin Yu stood at the ship's bow.
Watching the group of lunatics.
Not a ripple of emotion in his eyes.
He put away the Kiss of Death.
This gun was too powerful, its cooldown too long.
No need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
"Ruo Bing."
Qin Yu spoke calmly.
"Cease fire."
"Huh?"
Li Ruobing was momentarily stunned, her shotgun still smoking in her hands.
"Cease fire? They're about to charge onto the ship! They're suicide bombers!"
"Save the ammunition."
Qin Yu pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
Leisurely shook one out.
Placed it between his lips.
"These small fries."
"Aren't worth my woman risking her life."
"In the past, I was a poor student. Fighting relied on ferocity."
"Now."
Qin Yu snapped his fingers.
A small flame ignited at his fingertip, lighting the cigarette.
"I have plenty of money."
"And plenty of... resources."
"System."
"Open the warehouse."
"Take all that 'junk' I couldn't be bothered to sell, the stuff taking up space."
"Dump it all out for me."
[Ding!]
[Host confirms clearing inventory?]
[Releasing...]
The next second.
The air over the entire sea area.
Seemed to solidify.
"Hummm—"
A low, mechanical whirring sound arose.
Not from one place.
But from all directions.
On both sides of the President.
On the floating ice.
Even in mid-air.
Dense clusters of black shadows suddenly materialized out of thin air.
They were weapons.
"Clack-clack-clack-clack!"
Twenty Sentry Cannons simultaneously swiveled their barrels.
Red laser targeting beams.
Interwove into a net of death.
Instantly locking onto the few remaining charging Guard members.
Every person's glabella.
Their hearts.
Their limbs.
Each had at least three red dots dancing upon them.
The crawling security team member froze.
He raised his head.
Staring at the despair-inducing steel jungle before him.
The madness in his eyes.
Finally turned into a trace of bewilderment.
"This... what is this..."
"This is what true foundation means."
Qin Yu exhaled a puff of smoke.
His voice wasn't loud.
Yet it carried across the entire scene.
"When I was soloing an SSS-Class Abyssal Colossus back in the day."
"You lot playing in the mud."
"Were still fighting tooth and nail over a single bottle of mineral water."
"Want to gamble your lives against me?"
"Your lives."
"Are far too cheap."
Qin Yu's finger.
Gently pressed downward.
"Clear the area."
"BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!"
This time.
It was no longer the sound of gunfire.
But the roar of artillery.
Firing simultaneously.
What kind of spectacle was that?
The ice surface vanished instantly.
Not shattered.
But directly vaporized by the intense heat.
Those charging security team members.
Didn't even have time to scream.
Were instantly turned into bloody mist.
Along with the grenades in their hands.
Detonating together in a final blast.
"KABOOOM——!!"
A small mushroom cloud rose over the sea.
The shockwave from the explosion.
Pushed the President back several meters.
Li Ruobing's mouth hung open.
Witnessing this scene before her.
The shotgun in her hand clattered onto the deck.
"This..."
"This is just too..."
"Extravagant, isn't it?"
She swallowed hard.
This wasn't fighting a war.
This was purely using money to crush people to death!
The amount of ammunition expended in those few seconds.
Was enough for a small shelter to use for a year!
"Extravagant?"
Qin Yu chuckled.
"Any problem that can be solved with money."
"In the apocalypse."
"Is not a problem at all."
