”Hmm... ”Hmm... the Ultimate Defense got an upgrade, its protection increased directly from demigod to the God realm. And that Ultimate Defense III, I can relocate my main store to any place. I haven’t changed the main store. It’s not operable at the moment, but it is still there, lying in dust at Northern Phoenix’s Capital City. I can move that store to this place, but before that, I need to spread the firearms here too.”

Wil scrolled down further and mumbled, ”I guess I can now kill anyone under the elder god realm with the thunderblast. The Gravity Dome is damn awesome. Apart from those two upgrades, the others are meh. This Creation ability is also a good thing. It’s like I gained a fraction of the Creation Orb’s power. Maybe, this is the ultimate gift left by the system.”

*Haa*

”Well, anyway, my bloodline and elemental skills have received a worthy boost, and I received a new rank-11 monster. But I’m not going to use 80% of those anyway. Now that I’m an immortal, it is time to take care of that Cat demon empress once in for all. With Xiao Jiao, my little sis, having gained the title of an inheritor and the Blizzard Pegasus becoming the guardian, it has now become impractical for me to participate in the sect head trials and take over the clan, then use them against her. And too bad that I also developed a bit of attachment to the clan. So, let’s only use demons instead. Of course, using technology is mandatory. Maybe, the people in these upper realms will understand the power of my firearms and will perhaps be impressed enough to purchase them from my store. A war is always the best way to promote weapons. Sad but true. And now, it is time to wage the war. Before that, I need to make some preparations.”

One week later, in the middle of the night, when the moon is barely visible in the sky, Mark slipped out of his house before proceeding to sneak away from the sect.

But before he even left his house yard, a voice rang behind him. ”You really thought I wouldn’t notice?”

”Oh, god.” Mark groaned aloud and turned around. Lan Xia stood there with her arms folded, dressed in battle gear, sleek white robes reinforced with faint, shimmering scales. Her hair was tied up in a high knot, ready for combat, and the look in her eyes made it clear she’d been waiting for him to pull something like this. ”Sister Xia.”

”Going out somewhere?” She asked, raising her eyebrow.

”How do you know that I will sneak out?” he asked

”Simple, you made a breakthrough,” she replied coolly. ”Your hands would obviously itch to annoy Demon Cat Empress once again.”

Mark let out a frustrated sigh and rubbed his forehead. ”Lan Xia... listen. This time’s different. I’m not going out to fight a battle. I’m going to fight a war.”

Her brows narrowed slightly, the playful sarcasm dropping from her tone. ”What do you mean?”

Mark hesitated a moment. But then said quietly. ”I’m going to kill the Cat Demon Empress today.”

Lan Xia blinked. ”I’m sorry, what? The Cat Demon Empress? You want to kill her? Are you crazy?”

He didn’t flinch and answered. ”My aim has always been to kill her. This is something I cannot compromise on.”

”No, today, I’m not going to let you become reckless again. Just last week, you almost died from the Sky Judgment Bolt. The Cat Demon Empress is someone who can throw thousands of such attacks. You will die. Just what kind of beef you had with that Feline Empress that you are taking such a risk?”

He turned slightly, gazing toward the horizon. ”Back in the mortal realm, I went into a dungeon and found an egg. A cat was hatched from an egg. It is the Golden Demon Kitten. I made a soul contract with him, and Anan became a part of our family.”

Lan Xia’s face changed. She took a small step forward, her voice softer now. ”What happened?”

”He was abducted when I was away from my home,” he said, clenching his fists. The anger is evident on his face. ”They destroyed my creations, they threatened my family. Those cowardly felines...”

He turned to face her, eyes glinting beneath his bangs. ”I’m not letting them get away from it. I will take back what’s mine, and I will pay them back a millionfold.”

Lan Xia stood in silence for a moment. No questions. No interruptions. Then she exhaled and said, ”Alright. I’m coming with you.”

Mark stepped back. ”No. You’re not. You’re strong, but you’re not strong enough.”

”I’m not asking permission,” she said flatly. ”I’ll take care of myself. I’m not a burden, Gege.”

”You will be if I have to spend every second looking out for you...”

”Well, don’t.” Her voice was sharp now. ”Don’t protect me. Just fight your fight. I’ll fight mine.”

Mark stared at her. For a moment, he wanted to argue, tell her how she was overestimating herself, and there was no need to risk her life for a friend. But he could see an unshakable resolve in her eyes.

Mark exhaled a long breath and shook his head, ”You are unbelievably stubborn.”

”I know that. Let’s go.” Lan Xia disappear and appear beside him with a step.
