Chapter 526 Interlude: 23 Things
In 2025, an unknown extradimensional civilization begins to invade Earth.
Humanity's traditional military forces suffered repeated defeats.
China unites with countries around the world to set aside disputes.
Leading the development of tactical mechs to carry out resistance.
Code name: Iron Wing.
When your parents ask you if you prefer a younger brother or sister, it probably means you already have one.
[It's not just that we have it; the Wolf Riders are probably the ultimate trump card that Mom created a long time ago. Didn't you see how cool those mechs are?]
[Wasn't it said that the Wolf Riders were gods from another world who came to help?]
You actually believe that? But come to think of it, that kind of power is practically divine.
[Does anyone know why that God of Time and Space is invading our civilization? Could it be that someone caused trouble in outer space?] [That's right, it's me.]
[What are you dreaming about and what are you saying?]
[The most sci-fi line in this video is "Global nations set aside their disputes" (but I really wish I could be a mecha pilot).] [I probably won't be a pilot, because I have too many concerns, and my health isn't great; my elbows and knees are burning.] "Pfft."
"What are you laughing at, Shangguan?" Qiu Yun stopped her work and looked at Shangguan Su with interest as she sat behind her desk, staring at her phone with amusement.
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Su casually placed her phone on the table and chuckled. "Nothing much, just checking out the comments from netizens under the video account; they're quite interesting."
"A video account?" Qiu Yun looked up. "Is it about the battle between the God of Time and the Wolf Riders?"
Since that battle ended, countless photos and videos have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, with netizens recording almost the entire astonishing battle.
The most viewed video was from a local in Shanghai: a wedding company was filming on location when they bumped into the arrival of the god of time.
Their team filmed the entire battle between the magical girls and the God of Time and Space, but unfortunately they didn't get to film the later parts because Chang Lei used the Reverse Passage to send them all out.
Even so, their video still sold for a high price; rumors circulated that the original video was sold to a film company for over four million.
Seemingly recalling that terrifying scene, Shangguan Su slowly suppressed her smile and let out a soft sigh.
Qiu Yun sat on the single sofa opposite her, holding a cup of hot tea. The steam from the cup framed her slightly hardened jawline. She gently blew on the steam, breaking the silence. "I never imagined... the world would become like this." "You can argue with that," Shangguan Su replied, then picked up her own white porcelain cup, took a sip, and the golden tea brought her back a sense of reality.
"According to Captain Xiao's report, he and his sister were probably the closest at the time. When he stomped on the ground, the entire block, no, the entire area, trembled. The vibration went straight from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and his internal organs resonated. His bones almost shattered."
Qiu Yun nodded in agreement. She put down her cup and tapped her finger on the armrest. "The scariest thing is that he can really affect time." "In his normal form, although he can freeze my lightning, I can still barely suppress him. But after transforming into that mecha form that's hundreds of meters tall, for a moment, I felt like he froze the whole world."
"It's not a feeling, it's real." Shangguan Su looked at Qiu Yun and said softly. "According to Consultant Tan, that thing did indeed pause time."
"So that's how it was." Qiu Yun wasn't surprised; she had suspected it at the time. "No wonder I always felt something was off. So, Consultant Tan and the others managed to break the other side's time-stopping mechanism?"
"To be precise, it's Katie."
"Katie?" Qiu Yun's brows relaxed. "I vaguely remember her. She's the magical girl from the outer world, right? I didn't expect her to possess such powerful abilities."
"It's her." Speaking of Katie, Shangguan Su couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. "You have no idea what kind of trouble that girl caused before." "Haha, I know, the train crashing into the building, right? I heard that a lot of people in the station were terrified at the time. Luckily, I wasn't in the building." "It's not just that... Sigh, Tang Zijun, that girl is always busy, she always manages to come up with something new." Shangguan Su rubbed her temples, but a smile remained on her face.
Mentioning this name seemed to subtly alter the atmosphere in the office.
Qiu Yun's fingers rubbed against the armrest, and her expression became somewhat complicated.
"You should know about his situation by now, Sister Qiu Yun?"
"Hmm... a being of greed, yet possessing a human body." Qiu Yun nodded slightly and spoke calmly. "I've been curious about this since before. To use the power of greed without a trace of negative energy... such a being is truly..."
"I didn't ask him in detail what happened. I felt he wouldn't tell me the truth, so there was no need to ask. Anyway, as long as he's on our side, that's enough."
"Yes, that's enough." Shangguan Su smiled. "Besides, even if he really does something, there's nothing we can do about it." Qiu Yun's lips curled into a smile. "Leaving aside whether we can do anything about him, are you willing to take action against him?"
"What do I have to be reluctant about?" Shangguan Su was stunned for a moment, then smiled. "Without him, I don't know how much less trouble I've had. You have no idea how busy I've been lately."
"I can see that, I can see that." Qiu Yun gracefully stood up, picked up the kettle, and filled her water bottle. "But she's been really good to you, isn't she? Look at you drinking this Little Golden Leaf tea, I don't even have that kind of luck."
"Take it if you like."
"Forget it, it was given to you, I wouldn't take what's yours for granted." Qiu Yun waved his hand, then said seriously, "By the way, where's Deputy Director Chang?"
"He led a team to retrieve the body of the God of Time and Space, and they're probably studying it now. I didn't ask."
"The body of the God of Time and Space?" Qiu Yun frowned.
After the war ended, the God of Time and Space's enormous body was kicked away, leaving only his head, and the Temple of Time and Space was sent to the Reverse World. The only remaining "body of the God of Time and Space" seems to be just a discarded mechanical construct the size of an ordinary person.
"Chang Lei... is unsteady... Tang Zijun has really solved two big problems for us this time."
"Without him, heaven knows how much trouble those two guys who wield the power of deception and shadows would have caused."
