There, millions of shivering ordinary refugees were gathered, ragged and huddled together like ants trying to keep warm.

On the perimeter, well-equipped squads struggled to maintain order amidst the wind and snow.

That was the "Divine Dynasty" force Zhou Huai had left behind in Sakura Country. Natsume Rinku was leading a large number of high-level Professionals, braving the biting cold, responsible for the refugees' safety and the distribution of basic supplies.

"Such an overbearing Ice-type Law, even the Spiritual Qi in the Void Realm has been frozen." Chun frowned, sensing the deathly, stagnant Aura in the air that she loathed.

With the arrival of Zhou Huai and the Dragon, the intense cold pressure that had originally shrouded the entire Tokyo City suddenly fluctuated violently.

The ancient powerhouse entrenched deep within the ruins of the Ise Grand Shrine seemed to have sensed the arrival of high-dimensional power.

"Hum—"

The Void Realm trembled.

A woman's voice pierced through the ice and snow from the depths of the ruins, clearly echoing in Zhou Huai and Chun's ears.

The voice was extremely cold and detached, containing not a shred of human emotion, as if it could freeze one's Soul into ice shards.

"You are not Duan."

"Who are you?"

Hearing this interrogation, Zhou Huai was not flustered; instead, a playful smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

He stood with his hands behind his back, positioned between the Dragon's hideous horns, looking down at the direction of the Ise Grand Shrine.

He spoke loudly, his voice rolling like thunder, carried by mana: "Your Majesty the Empress, there is no need for such caution. I was entrusted by Mr. Duan to come specifically to take you to the New World."

The wind and snow in the air seemed to pause for half a second.

Immediately after, the cold voice rang out again, this time carrying bone-chilling murderous intent and undisguised contempt.

"I do not trust anyone except Duan!"

"Die!"

The moment the words fell, the ice and snow across all of Tokyo City went berserk!

"Crack, crack, crack, crack—"

Countless ice elements in the sky compressed and condensed frantically, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into thousands of deep blue ice arrows, each several zhang long!

Every ice arrow was entwined with an intense cold Law capable of killing an S-Class Professional instantly!

"Swish, swish, swish, swish!"

The ten thousand ice arrows, like a meteor shower flowing backwards, tore through the Void Realm. With sharp whistling sounds, they surged towards Zhou Huai and the Dragon with an overwhelming force!

Facing such an earth-shattering offensive, Zhou Huai didn't even frown.

He turned his head to look at Chun, who was watching the show from the side, and asked with a half-smile: "How about it? Will you go first, or shall I?"

Chun giggled, retreated a step quite shamelessly, and waved her hands repeatedly.

"Oh, don't look at me. I'm just a Clone; my power is very limited."

"For such a big scene, of course, you go. I'll just be responsible for cheering you on."

"You certainly know how to shirk responsibility."

Zhou Huai chuckled and did not refuse.

He slowly turned his head to face the ten thousand ice arrows that were about to turn them into a hedgehog.

After the Fusion of all Clone powers, the Law power of Great Sage Li Er, which transcended the world's iron Laws, had long since merged with Zhou Huai's main body!

Zhou Huai took a deep breath, parted his lips slightly, and gently spat {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} out a single word.

"Disperse."

The voice was not loud, but it was like a decree issued by a god, forcibly severing the energy connections in this world!

A miracle happened at this moment.

Those aggressive ice arrows, capable of piercing through gods, suddenly began to tremble violently as if they had a life of their own, less than ten meters from Zhou Huai's face!

Immediately after, all the ice arrows, under the forced intervention of some invisible rule, quickly diverged. As if encountering an insurmountable absolute barrier, they all scattered to the sides of Zhou Huai and the Dragon!

"Swish, swish, swish—"

The sky full of ice arrows grazed the Dragon's scales and shot into the clouds in the high sky, not even harming a single hair on Zhou Huai's head!

"This is impossible!" A shocked, breathless gasp came from the Empress of Extreme Ice deep within the ruins.

This power, which ignored her Origin Law, was exactly the same as that terrifying Mr. Duan's!

He did not give the opponent any chance to catch her breath or think.

Zhou Huai raised his right hand, pressed his palm down, and once again spat out four words containing supreme truth:

"Ice melts, snow dissolves."

Words spoken, Law followed!

"Boom—!!!"

A gentle, irresistible, and magnificent power, with Zhou Huai as the center, swept through the entire Tokyo City like a golden tsunami!

That indestructible deep blue mysterious ice, which even high-level fire magic could not melt, instantly lost all its Law support in the face of this magnificent power!

The ice and snow began to melt rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into murmuring streams of water, flowing along the crevices of the streets.

The thick, heavy clouds in the sky, which seemed as if they would never disperse, were forcibly torn apart by an invisible giant hand!

A ray, two rays, ten thousand rays...

The long-lost sunlight, like a golden sword, pierced through the haze and shone without reservation onto this devastated land.

The sunlight dispelled the biting cold and brought pure warmth.

The refugees gathered at the edge of the city had originally fallen into complete despair amidst hunger and cold.

Some people had even closed their eyes, waiting for death to arrive.

But just at this moment, they suddenly felt the long-lost warmth.

It was not the temperature of a stove, but a gift from the sun!

"This... what is going on?"

"The... the ice has melted! Look, all the ice around has melted!" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"The sun! The sun has come out!"

Millions of refugees scrambled up from the ground, staring blankly at the rapidly melting ice and snow around them, feeling the sunlight on their faces, too shocked to speak.

Many people knelt directly on the ground, holding their heads and crying.

Just as someone was asking in a trembling voice what was happening, wondering if it was a time when a god was manifesting...

Suddenly, a little girl in the crowd pointed at the sky in the distance and let out an exclamation:

"Mom, look at the sky! There's a Dragon!"

Countless people looked in the direction of the little girl's finger.

They saw that above the sky, illuminated golden by the sunlight, a mighty and imposing black Dragon was circling at the Peak of the firmament.

And on top of the Dragon's head, there faintly stood a slender figure who was as arrogant and peerless as a god!
