Quick Transmigration: Saving The Crazy Villainess

Chapter 448: Wang Yu Yan (23)

Thousands of miles away, Dong Lan who had just finished officiating the requiem mass for the deceased young nobles suddenly looked up at the sky. A messenger came and reported to him the ice walls in the neighboring domed city suddenly extended several thousand meters upward.

"Did all the human domed cities become enclosed in that wall?" He asked with a frown. 

"No Halfway at most, separating territories belonging to the north and south. Those deep into the fae territories are the ones almost enclosed."

"Let me take a look at the map." 

The Pontiff stopped in the hallway and observed the projected image. He disliked the ominous feeling he was getting since he knew there was a reason for it.

Unfortunately, he was not given any more time to ponder. Several city names popped up on his own screen, projected by the gem-like device embedded at the back of his hand. 

The voices came from spies who account for him stuff the city mayors forgot or did not want to inform him, and all of them reported the same thing. 

"Your Holiness, suicide human squads infiltrated the city and temporarily disabled the domed barrier!"

"Your Holiness, the infiltrators used nukes and injured several civilians and soldiers! Three large districts were damaged beyond recognition." 

"" 

Then came the report from the city mayors who merely emphasized the assaults done using nuclear-powered cannons. They deemed the temporarily disabled city protective shields a minor matter since it could be repaired in an hour. The anger at seeing their subjects killed prompted them to request a counterattack using nuclear missiles. 

"Your Holiness, humans have gone far this time. How dare they break the agreement! Since they use nuclear weapons, we also have to fight back using nuclear weapons!"

All of them were saying the same thing, greatly contributing to the Pontiff's headache.

The Pontiff repeatedly said, "Please don't act hastily before I receive divine instructions from the gods, our ancestors! Prioritize pacifying the citizens and repairing the protective domed barriers. I'll inform you as soon as I get a response from the divine ones!"

"But, Your Holiness---"

"Do as I told. Stop making me remember that the enemy elites had snuck in due to your negligence." Dong Lan coldly said. 

The city leaders and generals stationed in the assaulted cities obviously had many misgivings but didn't dare anger the Pontiff anymore after they were chastised. 

When their faces vanished from the projected screen, Dong Lan pressed his lips into a thin line, watching as new faces replaced them. 

There were also reports from some cities near the coast. "Greetings, Your Holiness. This is '87' from Coastal City 1. Somebody activated a large-scale ice and water magic near the coast. Seeking guidance on how to proceed."

"This is from Slave City 5. We detected a large magic power movement outside the city before it began to snow and rain hard."

"Slave City 7 also detected large magic power movement, but we can't find the source. We humbly request instructions from Your Holiness."

No answer immediately came from the white-robed man. Lost in his thoughts, he remembered what happened the previous day after he intentionally let some humans see the tragic state of the enslaved people. 

He was sure the one moving against them this time was Jiang Li.

So was Jiang Li freezing the oceans now due to anger? Or transporting icebergs from the Atlantic and the south to smash the unprotected cities? If he did so, then he would have to drain his powers 'till the last drop, right? 

Then he, Dong Lan, would achieve his adoptive mother's order, to delay that guy's return to what he called the 'original' world.

'This is ridiculous. So many people from both races have to be sacrificed because of that crazy woman's whims.' Dong Lan was secretly feeling bitter as he really did not want to do this, but like how Jiang Li had no way to go against the system yet, he also could not go against the Fortune Teller.

The Pontiff considered many possibilities. The fortified walls were taken for a measure Jiang Li set up to prevent the fae from crossing the territory for some time. The snow and hailstorm a camouflage to veil the attacks that would come from the sky. 

"Is there any movement from the human side? Like them also preparing to fire nuclear missiles to our territories?" The Pontiff asked quietly after calling the spies in the human cities.

"No, Your Holiness. At least, not yet."

Dong Lan could no longer reply since he sensed an unusually large movement of magic power in the southwestern direction. Once again, he urged the city leaders and other professionals to speed up the repair of the protective barriers. The various powerful nobles and experts were also summoned to standby. 

The Supreme General who heard of the summon also had the entire army ready to go out to war. 

Then later, they learned how wrong they were about their Pontiff's intention. 

It came without warning, probably because it was from several thousand miles away and the Pontiff had no way to look into Jiang Li's future.

The closest they could take as a warning was the loud rustling of waters that echoed in all directions. But by then, it was already too late. 

Not even ten minutes passed and every single being from the fae race watched as more than eighty percent of the land in this world got swallowed by the raging waters from the seven oceans. The towering tsunamis that came waves after waves came crashing down, wanting to annihilate everything on earth. 

Dong Lan who predicted it too late could only focus himself on saving his own city. He soon discovered that the city's protective shield could barely withstand the water pressure. Over sixty city leaders reported earlier about the attacks on their city's protective barriers. It was not hard to imagine what happened to those places. 

"Pontiff." The Supreme General sought him out with a pale face. 

The one called out had a very sour face. "We're punished."

There were several other high-ranking officers and nobles that ascended the tower with the Supreme General and all of them sported a disbelieving expression at what they heard.

"It's that god. He chose to side with the humans." The Pontiff's chest heaved as he struggled to control his breathing.

'The bastard He obviously did not believe that the villainess has yet to be born. Or else he would not have risked wiping out my race.' Dong Lan angrily thought, referring to the woman always reincarnating with him and Jiang Li. 

The fae Pontiff realized it was he who ratted it out. That what gave Jiang Li the clue was his treatment of the enslaved humans. 

What gave him the confidence that he would be able to deceive a transmigrator older than him? 

Now, it was really the second coming of the Great Flood. 

Faced with the wrath of nature, a catastrophic one like this, only eminent experts and grandmaster wizards of the race called children of gods would dare say they could survive. 

At this moment, the entire city was already submerged in water and all the citizens were looking up at the white crack lines forming above with fearful faces. Bots and experts were working hard to reinforce those parts that showed signs of breaking. 

All humans from the other side of the ice wall also came out and stared blankly at the billboards and large screens above the streets as they watched several icebergs flew towards the ocean. The gigantic icebergs seemed to have come from the sky. In the live broadcast, they saw as the enormous ice struck the ocean at an angle that made sure a great tsunami of unprecedented scale would arise. 

The waters that rushed over the nearest lands and gradually swallowed countless peninsulas and islands roared like a forcefully awakened beast. Angered, so it could not be bothered with the creatures underneath it begging for mercy. 

The villainess capturing the sight also could not hold steady her smartwatch because of the emotions rising from her chest. The look she gave the giggling middle-aged guy leaning weakly against the wall of her flying carrier had undisguised admiration. 

Jiang Li noticed her and asked, "Admiring me now?"

She stared blankly and forgot to answer.

He laughingly shook his head, "Little girl, record it all cleanly. And later give me a copy so that I would have something to watch once I depart for Antarctica to recover."

Wang Yu Yan regained her senses and replied, "Okay." 

The fact that they both knew was that after this, those in the human territories would definitely make copies of the video shared with the various cities. The videos would surely be available for free on the internet. Jiang Li could just log on and find a random video sharing site. But she knew the man wanted the original recording as a souvenir.

Thinking of this, Wang Yu Yan plastered a bright smile on her lips and said, "My photography skills are not that great, but I'd do my best to capture the best scenes."

"Good." Jiang Li's lips also curled into a grin before he closed his eyes and focused on resting. Wang Yu Yan exchanged looks with her uncle who was in the pilot's seat.

...

In the office of the city mayor that was temporarily taken over by the President, Shi Nianzhu also looked blankly at the video that the young colonel requested to be shown to all of humanity. 

Prior to this, he thought it was the scenes of the suicide squads bombing fae cities that she wanted to air, so he granted him permission.

Who would have expected this was what she would surprise them with this?

The people secretly invited before were also in the office and they all chatted with excited voices. 

"Wang Yu Yan hid so well!"

"How did she do this?"

"So the suicide squads disabled the city protective measures of some fae cities for the flooding?"

"Wait! Who created those blokes of ice! Is it the same person who erected the ice walls?!"

"Only the Wang uncle and niece pair knows. But I'm telling you, that endless wall appeared out of nowhere a week ago and it's not that high. Overnight, it became that tall, impenetrable, and extensive! I suspect it covered half of the continent!"

Almost two hours already passed since the Great Flood began. The waters traveled fast due to the force behind it and the height of the tsunamis generated. It had already reached the center of the mainland. 

A general famed for his earth ability finally couldn't contain his excitement and laughingly went out. He had no whatsoever plans to join the strategists and other decision-makers in planning how to take advantage of the situation. 

Minutes later, he was already before the sky-high wall made of ice and there were countless citizens clamoring behind him. 

From afar they could already make out the line made by the moving water and the sounds of waves on the other side. Humans were curious but did not dare go near even though some of them possessed flying vehicles. They were probably intimidated by the height and the chilling air near it.

Zhang You laughed, pleased. "General thanks everyone for allowing me to be the first to take a look!"

In no time, the general reached the top of the wall. His merry mood did not get affected by the coldness that enveloped his body and the harsh winds hitting his face. In fact, his laughter grew more boisterous when he saw the endless water that filled his vision. 

"Hahahaha!" The General's thunderous voice echoed even to those several thousand meters below. 

"The motherf*ckers of the fae race finally got their retribution!" 

"Drown! Drown! Look who's the rats now!" 

Still laughing like there was no tomorrow, he turned around and waved at the crowd on the other side. "People of mankind! What the hell are you waiting for?! Come up now!"

"Join me here! I guarantee you the scenery here is the most beautiful in the world!"

Because somebody finally took the initiative and some onlookers even live-streamed the scene, others from all parts of the human territories rushed towards the borders to also see what made the general look so happy. And soon, while faint cries echoed from the horizon, joyous laughter and excited voices rang on top of the ice wall.
