Chapter 62

Chapter 62: The Valkyrie

After Elo’s fall, the surrounding environment began to collapse. Soon, Qin Jun returned to the real world. The place he had just been in was merely a mental illusion created by Elo.

Qin Jun gazed at the Seed of Omnipotence in his hand, a smile forming on his face. With this seed, he could bring it back to the capital and plant it. Once the World Tree grew, the Qin family would be able to mass-produce powerful evolvers!

In the apocalyptic era, where evolvers were extremely rare, this was an invaluable advantage.

Heh, hunting a deity yields far richer rewards than hunting a corpse king.

Qin Jun’s smile revealed no pressure or fear after deicide. While the existence of deities in this world was surprising, Elo had also informed Qin Jun of their limitations.

The deities that awakened early were weak, and the powerful ones were still in deep slumber.

Heh, by the time those powerful deities awaken, Qin Jun believed he would have enough power to rival them…

In other words, he didn’t need to worry too much about those deities right now. However, the “Divine Codex” mentioned by Elo intrigued Qin Jun greatly. The black obelisks…

The existence of black obelisks was indeed extraordinary. The black obelisk in the capital had already elevated the Qin family’s power to new heights.

Controlling the black obelisk meant mastering the most advanced technology, cultivation methods, and various world rules of the apocalypse.

But it seemed that the true treasure of the black obelisks lay in those incomprehensible symbols…

At this moment, the Qin family’s experts also began to reappear. When Eilo pulled Qin Jun into the world of will, they too were affected by Eilo’s will, experiencing illusions. It wasn’t until now that they regained their clarity.

Qin Jun looked at the Qin family’s experts, nodding in satisfaction. This trip to Donghua City resulted in zero casualties for the Qin family.

However, the experts of Donghua City suffered heavy losses, nearly being wiped out, with only one survivor…

Qin Jun turned his gaze to the last survivor, smiling, “Do you hate me?”

Zhu Chong had been bowing his head, but hearing Qin Jun’s words, he could no longer contain his anger.

“Why?! You clearly had the power to single-handedly defeat that corpse king, so why didn’t you act and instead sent us to our deaths?!”

Zhu Chong glared at Qin Jun with resentment. At this moment, he no longer cared about fearing Qin Jun’s background and strength. He was ready to lay it all on the line!

“Why?” Qin Jun chuckled, replying calmly, “Because it saves effort. After all, fighting is a very exhausting task, isn’t it?”

With that, Qin Jun no longer paid any attention to Zhu Chong, a pitiful man, and walked outside. He knew how his subordinates would handle it.

Zhu Chong stood there, stunned, filled with disbelief. He had expected Qin Jun to explain some sinister plot, to intentionally use them and send them to their deaths. But he hadn’t expected such a simple reason!

To save effort…? Just for such a simple reason, they were sent to their deaths?!

Zhu Chong’s body trembled violently as he stared at Qin Jun’s back, unable even to muster hatred…

If Qin Jun had revealed some elaborate scheme, Zhu Chong might have felt better. But now, all he felt was fear!

What a demon… In Qin Jun’s eyes, they weren’t even considered human…

……

Boom——!!!

Violent explosions echoed continuously as a giant python hissed. This python was enormous, several hundred meters long, with colorful scales. Its massive head was the size of a truck, and its venomous fangs gleamed menacingly in the sunlight.

The python coiled in the mountains, its movements causing landslides, resembling the apocalypse. But despite its terrifying presence, the python howled in pain.

A young girl wielding a golden spear moved gracefully, like a dragon in flight, continuously attacking the serpent.

Each strike unleashed immense power on the serpent’s body. Her movements were agile, evading the serpent’s attempts to devour her with ease.

Finally, the girl appeared atop the serpent’s head, both hands gripping the golden spear, and drove it fiercely into the serpent’s skull. The serpent howled one last time before collapsing heavily to the ground.

“Valkyrie!”

“Valkyrie!”

“Valkyrie!”

Cheerful cries erupted around, with countless admiring gazes fixed on the girl. To them, she was their guardian deity!

On the serpent’s head, the girl emitted a faint golden glow, holding her spear, looking like a Valkyrie from Norse mythology.

After killing the serpent, others rushed forward to handle the serpent’s corpse.

A middle-aged man smiled, saying, “Thanks to Miss, otherwise our Dawn Hope would have suffered heavy losses this time. Who would’ve thought a serpent would attack our base…”

The girl smiled slightly, her beautiful and heroic face captivating everyone. Her name was Lie Yanshi, with an S-class talent, “Heroic Spirit Descends,” and a level 2 evolver!

She was also the strongest evolver in the Dawn Hope organization, known as the Valkyrie.

Under her leadership, Dawn Hope had reclaimed a city as their base a week ago, establishing a free city! In that battle, Lie Yanshi had single-handedly slain two corpse kings, with countless zombies falling to her spear.

Now, with a city as their foundation, Dawn Hope had firmly established itself in the apocalypse. Numerous survivors and evolvers from surrounding shelters flocked to join them.

Dawn Hope now boasted nearly a million people and over two hundred evolvers, becoming a formidable force.

Lie Yanshi asked, “Where is Grandpa?”

Lie Yanshi’s grandfather, the leader of Dawn Hope, was a wise elder, regarded as a sage by everyone in Dawn Hope.

“The chairman is in a meeting, planning to invite representatives from the Qin family in the capital, the Northern Army, the Koso Group, and other forces to discuss establishing order in the southeastern region…”
