Extreme Cold Era: Shelter Don't Keep Waste-Chapter 865 - 94:

Actually, Perfikot had witnessed such scenes before, and not just once.

The last time outside Langton City, the sight of the gods descending was even more shocking than this.

Whether it was the Goddess of Beauty or the War God, when Their gaze fell upon a place, the heavens and earth would change color.

Such might seemed as if the entire world trembled at Their presence.

Although Perfikot was filled with disgust towards the gods, she had to admit that these beings, fallen into evil gods, were still true divinities.

Their stance and actions might be questionable, but Their power was undeniable and unquestionable.

Especially in the Northern Territory, she faced the might of a supreme god for the second time.

On that occasion, she was summoned to the War God's divine realm and personally witnessed the majestic divine power of the War God Himself.

The oppressive feeling was such that even the air seemed thick, making breathing seem like a luxury.

At that moment, Perfikot clearly realized the vast gap between humans and gods.

That gap was not only a disparity in power but also a fundamental difference in the level of existence.

It was this gap that became one of the motivations for Perfikot to continually upgrade her armaments.

She refused to be suppressed by the power of the divine, and she was even more unwilling to let humanity's fate be manipulated indiscriminately by Them.

So, she began to frantically research and develop, even going so far as to create something seemingly unnecessary in this age, like the Floating City.

The Floating City was not only a weapon, a mobile city but also a declaration of war—a declaration from humanity against the gods.

Perfikot was eager to see whether the Godslayer armor-piercing shells fired from the electromagnetic railgun on the Floating City could open a hole in the War God.

Though the Minotaur was directly hit and killed by the electromagnetic railgun, it did not sufficiently verify the true power of the Godslayer armor-piercing shells.

After all, the shell's armor-piercing warhead was modeled after Gungnir—despite being just a disposable replica of the Divine Artifact, its potency remained undiminished.

The primary attribute of Gungnir is "inevitable hit," but the power of this Divine Artifact far exceeds that.

Its destructive force is enough to tear apart the body of a divine being, even directly killing a god.

Unfortunately, the Minotaur was not enough to fully unleash the power of the Godslayer armor-piercing shell equipped with the Gungnir replica.

It was merely a subordinate god, presumably akin to the War God's Subordinate God.

Though from certain angles it might be considered strong, also a member of the gods, compared to a true supreme god, it was far lacking.

"To kill a supreme god, this firepower is still insufficient." Perfikot silently assessed in her heart, her brow slightly furrowed.

She had to admit, based on the War God Himself's might she witnessed in the War God's realm last time, although the electromagnetic railgun's power was astonishing, it was still inadequate to inflict substantial harm upon the War God.

The War God's pressure was as heavy as a mountain, and such power was far beyond what a subordinate god like the Minotaur could compare.

"Yes, it's not enough! Although this cannon's power is indeed astonishing, the Godslayer armor-piercing shells you've developed would make even a supreme god be cautious, but this level of power is still insufficient to kill the War God." A voice familiar to Perfikot suddenly echoed, breaking the silence of the command room.

Following that, a woman clad in red armor suddenly appeared beside Perfikot as if conjured from the air.

It was an old acquaintance—the arena champion of the War God, the woman who once helped Perfikot slay the Goddess of Beauty's Divine Attendant.

Her appearance instantly provoked a strong reaction from the others in the command room.

After all, this was the command room high up in the Floating City, heavily guarded, where even a fly could hardly get in, yet she managed to appear silently here; how could they not be startled?

"Intruder! Assassin!" A military officer shouted loudly, his voice carrying a hint of panic. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

He tried to summon the Steam Knights outside, but Perfikot simply raised her hand slightly to quell their commotion.

"Enough, shut up! All of you, get back to your posts!" Perfikot's voice was as cold as ice, carrying undeniable authority, "Regardless of whether we're about to die in battle in the next moment, the Empire's soldiers must never abandon their duties!"

"Yes, Count!" A group was left speechless by Perfikot's reprimand, and seeing that the woman posed no threat to Perfikot, they quickly returned to their posts and got back to work.

Although the Minotaur was dead, it did not mean the chaos in the city had ended.

The threat of the Floating City and the deployed Steam Knights was enough to stabilize Langton's situation, but it was still a complex and meticulous task.

However, for this war, the remaining time was merely garbage time.

After all, without the Evil God and the Evil God Sect, a mere separatist group stirring up chaos would be overestimating their chances against the Steam Knights and Floating City.

Though what remains is only suppressing the rebellion and cleaning up the battlefield, as the supreme commander, Perfikot could not simply leave.

She needed to continue overseeing the whole situation, while also preventing unexpected occurrences.

Overall, she was just standing there as a pretty figure, as the complete officer command staff meant she didn't need to personally do anything.

Fortunately, the arena champion's appearance ensured the following time wouldn't be so dull.

"What are you here for?" Perfikot did not turn around, merely asked casually, her tone carrying a hint of coldness and vigilance.

Her gaze remained fixed on the battlefield below, seemingly indifferent to the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Before the female champion spoke, Perfikot's head maid somehow appeared beside her, gracefully brewing tea for Perfikot as if unaffected by the surrounding events.

The aroma of the tea wafted through the command room, forming a peculiar contrast with the tense atmosphere.

"Again, this soulless puppet, seems you care very much about your safety, otherwise you could have let her go and slay the Minotaur." The female champion sneered, considering Perfikot's actions cowardly.

She had seen Beifa's power on display when slaying ancient beasts; she knew this head maid, though insignificant-seeming, was indeed capable of slaying gods.

Perfikot did not respond, merely picked up her teacup, taking a sip, her gaze remaining cold.

"Speak if you have something to say, otherwise get out, you're not welcome here." Perfikot was not polite, though her gesture was casual, it did not mean she had relaxed her guard.

Especially, as the red clouds outside the window continued to roll, signaling the War God was still watching here.
