If he could run, he would run. If he could hide, he would hide. But if he didn't want to run and couldn't hide, then he would just let it be.
He had to face it head-on.
Bernhard wasn't a schemer. He was just a lunatic. However, the best thing about a lunatic like Bernhard was that he was willing to spend money on his research. He didn't care even if he emptied his family's fortune.
John was only hoarding energy cores to make money, but Bernhard was definitely not buying energy cores for money.
"Bring us all our energy cores."
Bernhard also demonstrated what efficiency was.
Abat whispered a few instructions. Immediately, someone rushed out of the spaceship and placed two metal suitcases in front of Abat.
Abat opened the two suitcases. They were full of energy cores.
The energy cores of different colors were mixed together, emitting a bright but not dazzling light. It represented an unimaginable amount of wealth, and also unimaginable power.
Bernhard made an inviting gesture. Then, without hiding his excitement, he said, "Please feel free to use them."
Power, wealth, power, and beauties. All of these had suddenly been given to Gao Qi. However, in the face of the Lord of Arctic Frost, would all these disappear even more abruptly?
Gao Qi exhaled and closed his eyes.
In fact, he was quite calm. After making a choice, he didn't care about the so-called pros and cons.
Gao Qi didn't pick up the box or the energy core. Instead, he opened his eyes and looked at the sky. He looked at the northern sky.
Iron Tower City's spaceship was the first to evacuate.
Iron Tower City's spaceship had already started moving. Nadak's translator said something anxiously to her, but Nadak pursed her lips and remained motionless with a frosty expression.
The spaceship from Jinling City had already arrived in the sky above Morning Dawn City. Uncle Tree was very sincere. Unlike Nadak, who had just become a Class A Esper from a Desolate Dweller and lacked the right to speak in Iron Tower City, his words carried a lot of weight in Jinling City.
Bernhard's spaceship didn't retreat, but it didn't stay in place either. Instead, it kept rising.
Bernhard quickly said, "Monitor the Arctic Lord's movements and lock onto the direction, height, speed, and temperature of the air conditioner. Set up a command center and send me all the data as soon as possible."
Abat said anxiously, "You should go to the spaceship!"
Bernhard waved his hand impatiently. "How can I leave at this time?"
Master Tree could not stop Gao Qi from saving Morning Dawn City, nor could he say anything. Thus, he swallowed his words of persuasion.
Grandpa Tree looked at Gao Qi and asked, "What … do you plan to do?"
Gao Qi shook his head. After thinking for a while, he decided to tell the truth.
"I don't know. It's not that I want to hide anything, but I really don't know."
Gao Qi looked at Lord Tree and sighed softly. "To be honest, I blame you. If you hadn't come to challenge me, none of this would have happened. However, I can't hate you because you … are really hard to hate."
At that moment, Anna finally raised her head.
Her long hair fluttered despite the lack of wind. Anna was no longer at a loss. Only fear and worry were left. She whispered to Gao Qi, "You will die. You are no match for the Arctic Lord."
Gao Qi smiled and said helplessly, "So what? Han Ruofeng didn't let Morning Dawn City down. Huang Fei didn't let Han Ruofeng down. I can't let him down."
After saying that, Gao Qi said helplessly, "Everything happened inexplicably. I suddenly had a power that I couldn't control. I don't know where this power came from, and I don't know how to use it. This feeling is really annoying."
Gao Qi stared at the sky and said in a daze, "But Grandpa Tree came to challenge me, so I couldn't reject him. I feel like I'm a top figure in Morning Dawn City, but I still can't control my fate. I think I'm very powerful now, but I still don't have a choice. You guys keep asking me what I should do, but I don't have a choice. If, if I don't die this time, I must have the power to say no to others! I must, I must … "
Gao Qi didn't say what he must do.
Abat suddenly raised his voice again. Before he could say anything, Gao Qi knew what had happened.
A white line appeared on the horizon, splitting the blue sky into two halves.
That white line was the Lord of Arctic Frost's attack that had crossed thousands of miles.
The ultra-low temperature caused the water vapor in the air to instantly condense into ice crystals. The reason and appearance of the formation were similar to the clouds left behind by old airplanes, but the speed was ten times faster.
The ultra-high speed, ultra-low temperature white line was like a knife that had cut through the sky.
Even now, Gao Qi still didn't know how to deal with it. He felt like he had countless methods to take on the Lord of Arctic Frost's attack, but when he actually wanted to use them, he was at a loss.
Power that came out of nowhere and battle techniques that had been bestowed upon him by the heavens could only be said to have great potential. In the end, he still wasn't a true expert.
Gao Qi could have slowly figured it out, but unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to do so now.
The white line drew an arc in the air and pierced down from the sky at an almost vertical angle.
"In my name, the wind stops here!"
The energy core in Gao Qi's hand released a dazzling radiance and then dissipated. However, under Gao Qi's gaze, that white line that represented death suddenly froze.
A thousand-meter thick ice crystal cloud pillar stopped in midair, less than a kilometer from the ground.
No matter how fast it was, the air moving at high speed was actually wind.
When Gao Qi declared that the wind would stop, then the wind would stop.
However, the only thing that stopped was the wind.
The cold air would flow from high up to the ground. When the cold wind that had crossed thousands of miles and was about to connect heaven and earth suddenly stopped, the ice crystals that had been stirred up by the wind just now began to drift down.
The ice crystals began to sink, as if the sky was slowly pressing down on a cloud pillar.
Gao Qi opened his right hand. Clouds and mist were quickly forming above his head. He could already feel the chill that seeped into his bones.
"Fire!"
With a low shout, a flame appeared in Gao Qi's right palm. Then, he roared at the top of his lungs, "I am fire!"
The flame in his palm instantly magnified countless times.
The flame that came out of Gao Qi's palm was like a torch, but the top of this torch was infinitely magnifying, and magnifying again and again.
The high temperature instantly dispelled the chill, and the flame in Gao Qi's palm steamed and rolled upwards. The flame directly connected with the sinking ice crystals silently.
When the top of the flame finally collided with the ice cloud, the flame that was thick at the top and thin at the bottom like a torch began to drift in all directions, rolling and rising. Then, the ice cloud couldn't descend any further. Those fine ice crystals instantly vaporized, disappearing without a trace before they could form clouds and mist.
One hand held up the sky.
Gao Qi held up the sinking sky.
