Chapter 1516: Chapter 104: The Queen’s Return

The Wild God had arranged for the Trojan Alliance to ambush from all sides, originally planning to profit from the chaos. Instead, they were attacked by ’Single Shot’s’ team, sparking the battle prematurely.

Although Single Shot was only a Group Member, he was in fact a Level 3 Hero, very strong and specialized in surprise attacks and assassinations. Almost instantly, he had taken out the psychic ability user from the other team.

The Smiling Witch took command and joined the battle. In less than thirty seconds, they completely annihilated the exposed squad and rushed towards the hideout of the next team.

Single Shot was very cunning, completely avoiding confrontation with the strong teams and only targeting the weaker ones.

The Group Leaders from the Wild God’s side became restless. If this continued, they would be defeated one by one, their strength consumed. So, they had no choice but to join the fight, and hence a large-scale Team Battle erupted prematurely.

Single Shot continued his Harassment, attacking places where teams might be hiding. He wanted to drag more people into the battle. After all, this was the enemy’s Main Battlefield, and they were at a disadvantage. Only chaos could increase the chances of winning.

"All Trojan Squad members, take note: abandon the BOSS, join the Team Battle!" The Smiling Witch naturally assumed command, arranging the formation.

The Conquerors did not hesitate, immediately turning their guns around to fight against the opponents.

Bullets flew around under the Night Sky like Fireflies, various Skills burst forth, creating dazzling arrays of Light.

"Go to the Team Battle!" Dantai took a deep look at the Mitochondria BOSS and gave up the chase.

The situation was dire. The Mitochondria’s counterattacks were becoming more ferocious, all of which were large-range Area of Effect abilities. Except for Vasily’s team, others could hardly inflict significant damage on the Mitochondria. Instead, they would be forced to defend while in its Range, as a careless move could lead to death.

Besides, even if they killed the BOSS, not everyone would get a share of the Spoils of War. It would be better to go after the protectors, as at least the Space Wristwatch might yield some good loot.

"Tang Zheng, you stay." Mu Nianqi didn’t leave. She kept her gaze locked on the Mitochondria, preparing to strike the final blow. The queen was not one to easily compromise. If pushed to the edge, she’d rather Perish together.

Bingxu and Vasily may be well-known, but not all Group Leaders were intimidated. Tang Zheng scanned the surroundings and noticed seven individuals who hadn’t left, waiting for an opportunity to act.

"Don’t worry, I’ve got this." Dantai nodded to Tang Zheng and led his team away.

"Young ones, watch out, the BOSS’s ultimate ability is coming." Vasily laughed heartily as he transformed his arms into Heavy Cannons and fired away, holding no grudges against those who stayed.

Natasha simply gave a cold glance and said nothing more.

"Staying behind is an unnecessary effort." Tang Zheng holding Mother Emperor’s Howl, took a Single Shot at the BOSS, "Soon, those who will fight over the Spoils of War won’t be few, and I guess they’ll all be Level 3 Heroes."

"I know. The battle erupting here will definitely be more intense than the Team Battle," Queen Mu’s IQ was not low; she naturally thought of these things, "but that’s not my excuse for backing down."

Tang Zheng shrugged. He wasn’t in the mood to persuade her as the Mitochondria’s third-stage attack came again. Its body inhaled through splits, emitting Sound Waves. The Soil was scraped off another layer, followed by irregular Light beam rays.

The Gravity Barrier popped up, enveloping Tang Zheng like an eggshell. He didn’t make an unnecessary move to protect Queen Mu.

Around Mu Nianqi, the air condensed, forming visible whirls like cloud bands, surrounding and deflecting the Light beams. The mud and debris were directly ground into powder.

The Mitochondria’s third form was about to be overwhelmed; it went berserk. Its jelly-like body contracted, then expanded, as chunks of soft tissue shot out like a cannon, bombarding the surrounding enemies.

Boom, boom, the ground was blasted into pits with a five-meter radius. Once those soft tissues landed, they immediately writhed, transforming into humanoid creatures, and attacking the nearest enemies.

Mu Nianqi swung her Sword, a dozen arc-shaped Wind Blades surged from around her, shooting towards the Mutated Creatures, slicing them into pieces.

The Female Gunner appeared beside Tang Zheng, her Bullets flying wildly, blowing up the advancing Mutated Creatures.

Bang, bang, the Mutated Creatures could actually launch surprise attacks; they dug tunnels, bursting through the ground and attacking from behind the enemies.

The Female Gunner fired, with Bullets grazing over Tang Zheng’s forehead — his dynamic vision even allowed him to see the trail of the Bullet.

Due to the intense Combat, the Female Gunner’s Chest kept shaking. And with one-third of her breast~ exposed, it was quite the spectacle. However, Tang Zheng was in no mood to appreciate it.

"Are you trying to kill me too?" Tang Zheng felt she was too confident.

The Female Gunner couldn’t be bothered to reply, drawing her Dagger, she threw it, pinning the soft tissue that appeared behind Tang Zheng, about to pierce his heart.

"Alright, consider it unsaid," Tang Zheng glanced at Mu Nianqi. He was curious about the Queen’s abilities; she was probably a Level 1 Hero, but the strength she displayed was even more ferocious than that of a Level 2. This alone indicated that she had a rare S-grade ability.

Mu Nianqi did not even turn her head when the soft-bodied creatures burst from the ground. The Queen’s clones appeared and easily beheaded them.

Tang Zheng noticed that all these clones were physical entities, emitting fluctuations of life energy, implying that their ability to confuse would be enhanced, and at times, they could be decisive.

Tang Zheng’s own clones weren’t as effective; they were made of energy, and the enemies could distinguish them from the real thing with just a glance.

"My ability is the Devastation Divine Servant," Mu Nianqi briefly remarked after noticing Tang Zheng’s thoughts but clearly had no intention of giving him an explanation. After all, besides the original Group Leader, not even the closest combat mate knew about it.

Queen Mu’s ability was too unique, or it could be said too valuable. Once leaked, it could greatly impact her actual strength.

Mirror Charm allows Mu Nianqi to summon four clones with 50% of her own strength to fight for her. If the clones merge, they form a single clone with 90% of the original strength. At times, they can act instead of the original. This overwhelmingly strong ability still does not fully encapsulate Mirror Charm’s true significance.

After fusing with Witch’s Blade, Mirror Charm allows each clone to take a deadly hit for Mu Nianqi, which is why she could survive the outer rim battles of the Holy Land.

Of course, as a price for this powerful ability, the clones need to consume large amounts of life energy to serve as vessels for absorbing fatal damage. Thus, Mu Nianqi’s rank has not advanced; however, when she fully unleashes her power, she’s capable of defeating top-level Level 2 Heroes.

Northern Wind Ring allows Mu Nianqi to manipulate airflows, creating a hurricane around her as an integrated offensive and defensive skill. It can deflect most physical and magical attacks and can generate small-scale hurricanes for single and area targeting, with versatile uses and methods. She could even add sword qi and light beams into the hurricane to ambush her enemies, though the proud Queen Mu always disdains such tricks.

Tiamat’s Descent - Ultimate Blade Open grants her the origin power obtained after fusing with Witch’s Blade, unleashing Tiamat’s tremendous destructive power as the Earth Mother Goddess, enhancing all her attributes, and allowing a forced ascension in rank.

Of course, the usage is time-limited and comes with significant side effects. It requires precise calculations and control to maximize its efficacy.

Witch’s Blade can also form armor on Mu Nianqi to protect her. It’s able to change shape and size, adding various attributes such as speed, defense, and powerful attack capabilities, ensuring the Queen is always in an optimal combat state.

Aside from these commonly used abilities, Queen Mu also possesses the powerful skills of Ancient Giant Dragon’s Rage, Death Breath, Scattered Cutting Edge - Wind of Destruction, Spiral of Destruction, and Fire Sky Doom. Each move can almost flip the outcome, which is why she confidently stayed behind.

Watching the center of the battlefield, only Vasily and Bingxu dared to stand there, showcasing their strength, when suddenly Mu Nianqi’s vision lost focus. She seemed to see the Group Leader standing beside them.

"Yes, if the Group Leader were here, he would have the right to stand there!" Mu Nianqi bit her lip.

Since the Group Leader’s death, Mu Nianqi has changed a lot. If it were before, she would even take the initiative to challenge Bingxu and Vasily.

During their reunion in the center of the Golden City in the Inca Jungle, the reason why the Blade Empress was disappointed with Queen Mu was that she had lost her combative spirit, making the Empress deem her not worthy as an opponent.

Mu Nianqi was just pretending to be calm. Every midnight when the memory of that team annihilation, that apologetic smile of the Group Leader when he died haunted her dreams, she would wake up startled.

"I’m sorry, I couldn’t fulfill the promise to get you all out of this deadly game forever. Qiqi, leave. This is no place for a girl!"

The Group Leader’s last words, along with the Night Wind, still echoed in Mu Nianqi’s ears. That uncle treated her like a daughter, providing her warmth like Sunlight when all the newbies were struggling desperately for life and death.

"I am a coward!" If it was the past, Mu Nianqi would definitely look down upon Wei Binbai and Yu Deye, who had scored enough points to leave, but now, she felt she was no better than them.

"I abandoned you all!" Mu Nianqi thought of her fear-driven escape after the team was wiped; how she teleported back to Trojan Room alone, how she sobbed and roared like a desolate dog, handing over ten thousand points and desperately asking Trojan to send her away. She felt distressed, her long-held beliefs collapsed at that moment, and that moment brought negativity towards her own character!

Her vision refocused, Mu Nianqi looked back at the battlefield, feeling the dampness on her face, but didn’t care. Instead, she showed a self-deprecating smile.

"It was the Group Leader who asked me to leave, haha, what a joke!" Mu Nianqi always used that excuse to numb herself, but deep down, she knew it was just that—an excuse, and her heart had already become timid.

In the battlefield, the figures of Bingxu and Vasily were still striking, even the enemies hidden in the shadows couldn’t deny their strength!

"If Uncle Group Leader were here, that’s where you’d belong!" Mu Nianqi murmured and suddenly sheathed her Vampire Curved Knife. Her eyes became determined, and she leaned forward, like a sharp arrow piercing towards the battlefield’s heart.

"Starting today, I will let the name of Azure Phantom Brigade resound through the Trojan World once again, so Uncle can rest without regrets!"

In that moment, amidst numerous Level 2 and Level 3 Heroes coveting the mitochondrial BOSS, Queen Mu finally unleashed her full power!
