Watching the colorful explosion wave in the distance, Bai Ze couldn't help but sigh in amazement.
He raised his hand to shield his forehead, a slight smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
Then, as the Lich Archmage perished, the portal within the storm zone completely shut down.
With no obstacles left, Hyper Zetton trembled and fully freed its lower body, becoming the last survivor to escape.
Thus, everyone escaped, with none left behind!
Meanwhile, all the liches were trapped in the storm zone, exiled to the vast cosmos, likely doomed to drift aimlessly until they faded away into oblivion.
With the Lich army imprisoned and the Lich Archmage obliterated by its self-destruction, the spectators outside the battlefield burst into uproar.
Though they had anticipated such an outcome earlier, seeing it unfold with their own eyes made it all the more exhilarating!
"It's over! The entire fleet of lich battleships has been completely sealed within the storm zone!"
"Exactly! Even the monarch-level Lich Archmage self-destructed inside the black hole, eternally at rest!"
"This means that we only need to wait a little longer. The entire lich race will crumble on its own, and the lich planet will wither away."
"This student... he... he annihilated an entire formidable race indirectly. It's unbelievable!"
Excitement was palpable it felt as if it could leap straight out of the screen.
These creators could hardly contain their desire to meet Bai Ze in person and shower him with praise.
Meanwhile, in an apartment, Ouyang Na gazed at the radiant lotus at the edge of the screen with a complex smile and a shake of her head.
No one could have imagined that the lich race, which had threatened humanity for centuries, would be completely wiped out at this moment and by a mere student.
Those high-ranking, powerful creators were nothing but spectators here.
They did not participate in the battle but instead bore witness to an extraordinary fight.
Victory through weakness.
If the God of Liches still existed, they would probably be crying by now.
"Alright, I'll leave the cleanup to you."
"I need to report the situation here to my father."
Ouyang Na uncrossed her arms, issuing orders to the roomful of people before heading toward the door.
Yao Cheng was still in a daze, unable to react.
Just as Ouyang Na was about to leave the apartment, she suddenly remembered something.
She quickly added, "Remember to save a copy of the footage here and spread the news."
"I want the whole nation to know that our federation has produced a top-tier genius who single-handedly wiped out the liches!"
With that, Ouyang Na smiled, turned, and left.
Inside the apartment, the observers snapped out of their trance and responded in unison, "Yes!"
However, while this side was settled, things were far from calm outside Bai Ze's villa.
A series of urgent knocks came from outside the villa.
Knock, knock, knock
At that moment, a senior student from Tianzhou Academy had already located Bai Ze's villa.
Holding a booklet in one hand, he knocked on the door.
After a long while, there was finally a response from inside the villa.
"Coming, coming!"
Xia Yinyue's voice came from inside. She was wearing slippers and holding a ladle, rushing out of the kitchen. It was obvious she had been cooking.
But when she opened the door and saw it was an older student, she couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Senior? Is there something you need?" Xia Yinyue asked blankly.
The senior glanced at her, realized she was a girl, and quickly lowered his head.
"Uh... uh..."
"I'm here to find a student named Bai Ze," he stammered.
"But since you live here, maybe I've got the wrong place."
"Sorry about that. I'll leave now, right away."
This was a villa area, typically inhabited by wealthy heirs or noble ladies.
They usually had high self-regard and wouldn't share their homes with others.
So, upon seeing Xia Yinyue, the senior assumed she was the sole resident and hastily turned to leave.
But just as he took two steps, Xia Yinyue called out to him.
"Wait, senior!"
"If you're looking for Bai Ze, he does live here. Why are you looking for him?" Xia Yinyue asked curiously.
Hearing this, the senior lifted his head slightly and peeked inside the villa.
Oh... so they're a cohabiting couple...
He sighed quietly, then quickly put on a polite smile.
"Great! I have something important to discuss with him. Is he home right now?" he asked.
Based on what the "big shots" were saying, the student battling the liches was doing so at this very moment.
In other words, by checking who was still going about their daily lives during this time, they could deduce who was fighting the liches.
Since Xia Yinyue was here, she was not the one.
"Um... he's upstairs. He might still be sleeping. Should I go wake him up for you?" Xia Yinyue offered.
The senior hesitated briefly and stammered, "Uh... actually, I'd better go up myself. This is something pretty important that I need to confirm personally."
After all, this was a task assigned by the academy, and he had to take it seriously.
A surprise inspection was essential!
If the person was already awake and prepared, the inspection would lose its purpose.
Just then, the senior's phone suddenly rang.
Ring, ring, ring
"Wait a moment, junior. Let me take this call first."
He frowned, wondering who would be calling at this hour.
"Hello?"
"Oh! Director, it's you. Everything is fine here. Do you have any instructions?"
"Hmm? I understand, I understand..."
"What the ?!"
"You're saying the battle with the liches just ended?!"
"And the student not only won but also exiled the entire lich fleet into the storm zone, trapping them in space?!"
"Even the monarch-level Lich Archmage was killed in a self-destruction?!"
As he spoke, the senior's hand trembled, his face full of disbelief.
"Oh, oh, I see, Director."
"So there's no need for an inspection anymore, right..."
"Understood, I'll hang up now..."
After the call, he slowly lowered the phone, his lips pursed, his expression blank.
"Ju... junior, I just received word that there's no need for an inspection anymore."
"Sorry to bother you."
The senior forced an awkward smile before turning and walking away, dazed.
Xia Yinyue, puzzled by the strange behavior, raised her eyebrows and shook her head before shutting the door.
