After a long while, she slowly raised her head, gazing up at the dim sky shrouded in leaden clouds. Snowflakes landed on her long eyelashes and melted instantly.
"Legend...so what?"
The black petal pattern deep within the pupil of her left eye seemed to deepen at that moment.
"But even the captain... couldn't stop those dimensional demons from destroying everything we saw time and time again."
Her voice was soft, carrying an almost broken weariness.
"I'm really... tired."
"This time I will choose to stay."
"Stay in this world, fight the demon gods' minions to the very last moment, and then... perish along with this world."
The resolute determination and self-destructive tendencies contained in these words completely wiped the smile off Bayonetta's face.
Looking at Mio's beautiful profile, which was filled with exhaustion, a wave of sadness washed over her.
Just as she was about to speak to persuade them, their eyes were simultaneously drawn to the unusual activity within the base.
Rumbling--
The base's massive gates slowly opened, and rows of armored vehicles and military trucks filed out, kicking up clouds of snow dust.
A large contingent of fully armed soldiers, along with gene unlockers surrounded by colorful energy halos, formed a massive army and headed toward a certain direction of the city ruins.
"They're about to change targets."
Mio's voice remained cold, but her grip on the hilt of the shattered greatsword at her waist tightened subtly.
"It seems that the 'nutrients' inside the base are no longer enough."
Bayonetta's eyes narrowed, and she threw the cigarette butt into the snow, crushing it out with the heel of her high heel.
"Let's get ready to go in and make one last attempt."
The two looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
Mio lowered her stance slightly, preparing to charge forward.
The aura emanating from her had transformed from its previous listlessness and deathly stillness into that of a sharp blade about to be drawn, cold and razor-sharp.
Bayonetta also adjusted her posture, exuding a dangerous yet alluring aura.
However, just as they were about to take action...
hum-
Bayonetta suddenly stopped.
As if sensing something, she raised her hand and stopped Mio from jumping down.
An invisible golden magical ripple appeared silently in the air in front of Bayonetta and then quickly disappeared.
"what happened?"
Mio cast an inquiring glance at her.
Bayonetta raised a slender finger clad in a white lace glove and gently touched her temple, a captivating smile returning to her lips.
She glanced at Mio, who was looking at her with a questioning gaze, and a glint of light flashed in her gray eyes.
"It seems our reinforcements have arrived."
"It's a message from Merlin."
120. The Mature Beauty Enters My Arms, the Operation Begins [4.6k]
Night Rainy Day says: Welcome to read this book at the book club 705U.com!
The top of a skyscraper.
Merlin opened her blood-red eyes, and the golden runes slowly dissipated deep within her pupils.
She turned to Su Hui, bowed slightly, her posture elegant and dignified, a stark contrast to her lazy demeanor inside the aircraft.
"Su Hui, I've already contacted Bayonetta."
"They are asking for our exact location, preparing to come and meet us."
Su Hui did not answer; he simply opened his eyes slowly.
In the brief few seconds that Merlin was communicating, he had already taken in the energy reactions of the entire Washington, D.C. area through the wide-area scan of [Power Control Domain].
He not only located Bayonetta and another high-level transcendent being, but also sensed a large gathering of transcendent beings in their location, including the fluctuations of dimensional creatures similar to Ariana.
Bayonetta had clearly located the monster, but the situation was too complicated to take action.
In that case.
"Merlin, tell them to stay where they are and not move."
Su Hui's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable tone as he instructed, "Let's go this way."
Merlin nodded obediently and immediately relayed Su Hui's order via magical communication.
Then Su Hui turned around, looked at Ava, and gave her instructions:
"Ava, you stay here."
"Control the aircraft to enter stealth mode, erase all detectable traces, and be ready to deploy at any time."
He needs a backup plan, and he also needs someone to ensure that he doesn't attract the attention of the federal government too early.
"Yes."
Ava responded crisply and decisively, her face devoid of any extraneous expression, full of calm and focus. She immediately returned to the aircraft and began setting commands on the control panel.
Having made the arrangements, Su Hui said no more and took the lead towards the edge of the rooftop.
"Everyone else, follow me."
The moment he finished speaking, the snow beneath his feet suddenly exploded, creating a circular crater.
His entire body had transformed into a black afterimage that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and he shot off towards the outskirts of the city.
Without the slightest hesitation, the women followed closely behind.
Merlin lightly tapped his staff, and golden magical light blessed everyone with lightness and speed.
Harley let out an excited scream, her twin tails swinging wildly in the air.
Claire, 2B, Eve, and the others were already used to this rhythm, each using their agility to swiftly traverse between the abandoned high-rise buildings.
The most eye-catching group was Ariana and her three daughters.
The noblewoman, nearly three meters tall, ran without making a sound. Her huge wide-brimmed hat remained motionless in the wind and snow, and her extremely voluptuous breasts and hips jiggled violently with her movements, outlining breathtakingly elastic curves.
Her three daughters, like black phantoms, walked barefoot on the snow without leaving a trace, only their mischievous and cruel laughter was instantly blown away by the gale.
Su Hui's domain force field enveloped the entire team.
Under the control of their powers, the power of the domain skillfully distorted light and space, and tore through the air in front of them, assisting them in staying airborne. This allowed them to move at incredible speeds, like ghosts, sweeping across the city without alerting any of the Federation's monitoring outposts below.
Less than half an hour.
The group then traveled dozens of kilometers to reach the abandoned buildings in the suburbs.
Su Hui's figure appeared silently on the rooftop of the high-rise where Bayonetta and Mio were, his black trench coat landing without even stirring up a single snowflake.
Then,
One figure after another arrived and stood quietly behind him.
At the other end of the rooftop, two figures had been waiting for a long time.
However, Mio reacted the fastest when she saw Su Hui and his group.
Her hand gripped the hilt of the shattered greatsword behind her, a stark contrast to her slender frame.
Those blood-red pupils were fixed on Ariana and her three daughters.
Its unusually tall stature and undisguised dimensional aura caused the power within her to instinctively begin to boil.
The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.
"Dimensional beings".
Her cold voice was devoid of any emotion, and her knuckles were white from gripping the hilt of the Destruction Greatsword so tightly.
She could clearly sense that the incredibly tall woman in front of her and the three girls beside her were emanating the same nauseating dimensional energy aura as the monster in the base.
"Chong-"
The massive sword was pulled out a few inches, its sharp blade reflecting a chilling glint in the dim light.
"Humph."
In response, Lady Ariana gave a cold snort filled with aristocratic contempt.
Her golden eyes looked down at Mio as if she were an ant that dared to challenge a dragon, unaware of its own limitations.
Her three daughters let out a bloodthirsty chuckle, their bodies swaying slightly, as if they were about to transform into a swarm of insects and tear the woman who dared to show hostility towards their mother to shreds.
"Alright, alright, calm down."
A lazy yet magnetic voice broke the silence.
Bayonetta turned to the side, using her voluptuous and alluring body to shield Mio, her lace-gloved hand gently pressing down on Mio's hand as she drew her sword.
"Relax, Mio."
Bayonetta turned her head, winked at Mio, and said teasingly, "They're on our side now."
"One of our own?"
Mio's brows furrowed tightly, her bloodshot eyes filled with incomprehensible confusion and wariness.
She couldn't imagine how these monsters, made purely of dimensional energy, could possibly become "one of them."
Her gaze passed over Bayonetta's shoulder and finally landed on the man who had remained silent throughout, yet seemed to be the center of attention.
Bayonetta offered no further explanation. She turned around and gracefully walked towards Su Hui.
Her mature and voluptuous body, encased in a black leather jacket, swayed in breathtaking arcs with every step. Even in the sub-zero temperatures, she exuded a passion and sensuality that could ignite the air.
"Long time no see, Su Hui."
She stopped in front of Su Hui, tilted her delicate and charming face up, and looked him over with interest through the lenses of her cat-eye glasses.
"Hehehe~ I didn't expect you to have already stepped into the realm of 'legend'. You're getting more and more amazing."
Su Hui's gaze had just left the brightly lit military base below.
He also sized up the witch in front of him, remaining noncommittal to her teasing, his gaze finally settling on the white-haired beauty behind her who exuded an aura of unapproachability.
What an ice queen!
Her tall figure was slightly slender, but the C-cup shape of her chest, tightly wrapped in a white bra, was still visible.
Her long, silver-white hair, reaching her waist, was tied into a high ponytail with a unique black floral ribbon, fluttering wildly in the wind.
Her skin was so white it was almost transparent, as if she had never seen the sun. Her features were sharp and delicate, as if sculpted from the purest ice and snow.
What is most striking are her blood-red pupils and the faint black petal-shaped pattern deep within her left pupil, adding an eerie touch to her icy beauty.
Her outfit was bold and unique.
Beneath the pure white cloak was a matching jumpsuit.
The corset on her upper body tightly hugged her breasts, while the lower body featured a daring V-shaped cut, exposing her flat, toned abdomen and large expanses of snow-white skin to the cold.
Her lower body featured a high-slit skirt, and as the cold wind blew, her two long, beautiful legs, encased in white mid-calf stockings, were faintly visible. The black ribbon wrapped around her left thigh added a touch of contradictory beauty, a blend of asceticism and eroticism.

Su Hui withdrew his gaze from the icy beauty.
Interesting. Mei is busy, Lin is busy...
