If it were yesterday, Xu Cheng would definitely not agree to this invitation, because he was not familiar with the Goddess of Winter, and it would be very dangerous to rashly accept an invitation from an unfamiliar god.
However, after becoming an ultimate esper, he had enough confidence to face an unfamiliar god. Even if he couldn't defeat him and wanted to run away, there was no problem.
But judging from last night's snooping, if he hadn't become an ultimate esper, the Goddess of Winter probably wouldn't have invited him to meet her.
Seeing Xu Cheng agree, Martha breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will arrange someone to lead you right away."
"unnecessary."
Xu Cheng shook his head and said, "Just bring me a map of Ukraine."
Ukraine map?
Martha was a little surprised, but she still followed the instructions, bid farewell to Xu Cheng for the time being, and soon brought a detailed map of Ukraine to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng picked up the map and looked at it, comparing the landforms reflected by the electromagnetic induction.
His electromagnetic induction has a range of up to 3,000 kilometers and has covered most of Ukraine. It can be said that the fog of war has opened. No matter wind, snow or distance, he can no longer hinder him, and he will no longer be laughed at for being a road fool.
In electromagnetic induction, both the landforms and cities of the country are clear. If you compare it with the map, you can know exactly where Kherson is.
After reading the map, Xu Cheng marked the location of Kherson in his mind, and then returned the map to Martha: "I'll be right back. Is there anything you need me to tell you?"
Martha was slightly startled. She didn't know how Xu Cheng could know the way to go just by looking at the map, but the abilities of a strong man of this level were beyond her ability to guess.
She thought about it, and when she saw Xu Cheng, her attitude was the same as yesterday, and she was not polite to him: "I happen to have some documents. If it's not troublesome, please take them to Kherson for me and give them to Lady Sarah."
Xu Cheng asked Martha to get the documents, then turned into a bolt of lightning and arrived in the restaurant instantly.
At the dining table, Bai Yuelin and Lin Yu were having breakfast. When Xu Cheng suddenly appeared, they did not show any surprise.
"Try the porridge I made for you this morning."
Bai Yuelin said as he picked up the bowl and served Xu Cheng a bowl of porridge.
Last night, she heard that he was not used to Russian food, so she got up early in the morning and cooked a pot of porridge.
Xu Cheng sat down to have breakfast and told the two of them that he was going to Kherson: "Do you want to go with me?"
Ringo looked at Bai Yuelin, waiting for her to make a decision.
Although Bai Yuelin was a little moved, she finally shook her head: "We won't cause any trouble to you. You can go back quickly."
Although I don’t know what the Goddess of Winter is doing by inviting Xu Cheng to meet, I guess it’s not a bad thing.
Although she now has a cooperative relationship with the Goddess of Winter, Bai Yuelin is still prepared for the worst-case scenario - Xu Cheng falls out with the Goddess of Winter.
If this worst-case scenario really happens, then if she and Ringo go to Kherson together, it will hinder Xu Cheng. It is better to stay here in Kirov, and by the way, she can also monitor Divana to prevent her from bringing Escape with research information.
Xu Cheng nodded, and after having breakfast with the two of them, he found Martha, took the document from her hand, and then disappeared into the villa into a bolt of lightning.
The next second, he appeared at an altitude of several thousand meters. After identifying the direction of Kherson, he started moving at a terrifying speed.
Fortunately, he can convert the clothes and various small objects on his body into charged particles and restore them to their original state. Otherwise, every move would be a streaking run, and these ordinary paper documents cannot withstand such a fast movement speed.
Xu Cheng, who turned into lightning, has reached the second cosmic speed, almost 11 kilometers per second, which is equivalent to a rocket that can escape the gravity of the earth.
Kirov was only a few hundred kilometers away from Kherson. In the blink of an eye, he was already above the emerging city of Kherson faster than he could go out to throw away garbage.
Before Xu Cheng could take a look at the city, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Have you seen the palace in the center of the city? This is my bedroom. Please come over. I have been waiting for you for a long time, strange traveler."
Xu Cheng turned around and saw a snowflake that was gradually dissipating.
At the same time, he also felt as if a pair of eyes were looking at him curiously across a long distance.
Xu Cheng looked at this gaze, then turned into lightning and shot toward the palace in the center of the city.
It was snowing in Kherson at this time, snowflakes were dancing, and the land was vast. In this boundless white vastness, a palace stood in the center of the city, exuding stunning beauty.
This is an Orthodox-style palace built entirely of bright white ice, exuding a unique charm.
In the square in front of the main entrance of the palace, there stands a sacred and beautiful statue of the goddess. This statue is also made of ice and shines with dazzling light.
Her figure is elegant and dignified. She is wearing a long skirt with a flowing hem that seems to move with the wind at any time. The folds of the skirt are covered with subtle ice and snow patterns, revealing an extremely delicate beauty. She wears a mosaic hat on her head. The crown with sparkling diamonds reflects the sanctity and nobility of the goddess.
In front of the statue, a group of people were lined up, waiting patiently.
Standing at the front was a woman in her thirties, with beautiful features and fair skin.
This woman is Sarah, the current female mayor of Kherson, assisting the Goddess of Winter in managing this emerging big city.
The people following her were all well-known city officials and military members of Kherson, but they were all women.
The officials are whispering. They don't know the identity of the guests who are coming today. They actually need Sarah, the female mayor who is the most powerful person under one god to greet them in person.
"All be quiet."
Sarah’s voice was not loud, but it reached everyone’s ears clearly.
The original whispers disappeared without a trace in an instant. Everyone was watching the scene with their eyes, nose and heart, and stood quietly in place, not daring to say another word.

This shows Sarah's prestige. She looked up at the gloomy sky in the distance, her thoughts wandering a little.
She didn't know who the distinguished guest was today. She only knew that the Goddess of Winter solemnly asked her to come to the gate to greet him.
If it weren't for the inconvenience of the goddess, she even planned to come out to greet her in person, which shocked Sarah. However, she didn't show it at all on her face now and continued to wait patiently.
Suddenly, lightning flashed in front of their eyes, causing everyone to subconsciously squint their eyes.
When their vision returned, they found a man with a suitcase suddenly appeared, and their eyes widened.
Facing these curious eyes, Xu Cheng said to Sarah: "I came from Kilf at the invitation of the Goddess of Winter."
Sarah's tense expression disappeared, and she revealed a spring-like smile. She bowed her head and said respectfully: "Dear guest, hello, my name is Sarah, and I am the mayor of Kherson. Thank you for your hard work along the way. The goddess is already here. Wait in the main hall, please come with me."
Xu Cheng nodded and handed the box in his hand to her: "This is Kirov's Martha. Please give me the documents that I brought for her."
Sarah said quickly: "Martha is such a lazy person, how dare you bother the guests."
Xu Cheng, however, did not have such an obvious sense of hierarchy as she did, and said nonchalantly: "It's just a help, it's no big deal."
Sarah didn't dare to say anything more, so she took the box from Xu Cheng's hand with both hands, handed it to the person behind her, and then made an invitation gesture: "Please come with me, the goddess has been waiting for a long time."
The surrounding officials stepped aside one after another and bowed their heads respectfully, but some bold ones were still quietly sizing him up.
Xu Cheng followed Sarah, passed through the crowd, walked up the steps, and entered the palace made of ice.
The interior of the palace is pure white, with ice crystals and crystals inlaid on the walls, ceilings and floors, emitting a dazzling light. Exquisite ice sculptures and decorations, as well as painted murals, can be seen everywhere.
Along the way, you can see many people in the palace standing on both sides of the road, waiting respectfully and bowing when he passes by.
This should be a specially arranged program to try to make Xu Cheng feel at home.
He noticed that there were many people in the palace, but almost all of them were women, including the soldiers on guard. Even the pet cats and dogs were female, and there was not a single male in sight.
Moreover, every woman has extremely good looks and can be considered a star outside.
He thought to himself that the Goddess of Winter might be a pretty girl, or maybe even a female copper who built a palace specifically to collect beauties.
If a male god collects handsome guys, it will only make people feel disgusting, but if a goddess collects beautiful women, it will make people feel that the beautiful women are obsessed with each other and want to participate.
After passing through the auditorium, corridors, and gardens, Xu Cheng came to a hall under the leadership of Sarah.
The palace hall is tall and majestic, with gorgeous and exquisite decorations. On both sides are rows of tall pillars, engraved with various complex patterns and patterns, and at the top is a huge vaulted ceiling painted with various beautiful murals. And relief, a huge crystal chandelier hangs in the center of the ceiling. Through the light of the chandelier, the entire hall appears brighter and more spacious.
In the center of the hall is a long, beautifully carved ice crystal table with only two chairs placed at the front and back ends.
Xu Cheng's eyes followed the long table, passed the steps, and landed on the throne in the middle of the hall.
This throne is made of ice, exuding a cold luster, with exquisite shape and smooth curves, and every detail is treated like a work of art.
There was no goddess on the throne as Xu Cheng had expected. Instead, there was a ball of blue light, which at first glance looked like a star falling on the earth.
Along the way, Xu Cheng felt that the eyes looking at him came from the star-like brilliance on the throne.
This made Xu Cheng extremely surprised. He was still thinking about the appearance of the Winter Goddess along the way, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a ball of light that was not even human.
"Are you surprised to see what I look like?"
The voice of the Goddess of Winter sounded from this group of light. It was the voice Xu Cheng heard in the air just now. It was very gentle and gave people a sense of intimacy.
Xu Cheng nodded very honestly: "It's indeed beyond my expectation. I thought the goddess of winter should be a very beautiful and charming woman, but I didn't expect..."
The Goddess of Winter chuckled: "I will accept your compliment. Please sit down. I invite you over rashly. I hope you don't mind. I was originally worried that you would refuse."
Xu Cheng took a few steps forward and sat down on the chair at the end of the long ice crystal table: "It doesn't matter, it's not the first time I've met a goddess."
He originally wanted to go on a date, but restrained himself to avoid being kicked out.
I had met Amaterasu quite a few times before, and I had already gotten used to it. I wasn't as excited and reserved as when I first met the deity.
"I do feel the aura left by other goddesses from you. It seems that your relationship is very good."
"It's not just a good relationship, it's mainly about frequent cooperation."
Xu Cheng sighed with emotion: "That goddess has a very bad character. She is not as gentle as you. I thought the goddess of winter, who is in charge of winter, would be very strict."
"you flatter me."
She said a prize, but the tone of the Winter Goddess seemed a little happy: "Actually, I am not the Goddess of Winter, I just happen to be in charge of the power of ice and snow, so humans regard me as the goddess in charge of winter and give me a All kinds of legends.”
Xu Cheng nodded. Just like Amaterasu, she just happened to live in Japan, so she was given the title of Sun God. Of course, Xu Fu's contribution was indispensable.
While speaking, the goddess of winter flew down from the throne, landed on the chair at the other end of the long table, and communicated face to face with Xu Cheng.
This is a more egalitarian gesture, rather than the condescension of a throne.
Sarah stood aside, lowering her head and saying nothing, but she was extremely shocked in her heart.
Although the Goddess of Winter has a very gentle personality, she is a god after all. I have never seen her communicate with others in such an equal manner. Could it be that the strange man in front of me is also a god?
But listening to their exchanges, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
Xu Cheng sat opposite the Winter Goddess. He was not flattered by her courtesy. There was no unreasonable kindness. The Winter Goddess was definitely asking for such courtesy.
Sure enough, the Goddess of Winter said straight to the point: "I invite you here this time mainly because I hope to have a cooperation with you."
Xu Cheng said, not surprised at all: "What kind of cooperation?"
"Fight against the Celestials."
The tone of the Goddess of Winter became slightly more serious: "The Celestial Clan is our common enemy, which gives us a basis for cooperation."
Xu Cheng said in surprise: "How do you know that the Celestial Clan is my enemy?"
The goddess of winter smiled slightly: "As long as it happens in the ice and snow, I can know it."
Xu Cheng was shocked, but soon felt relieved.
Even he can possess electromagnetic induction with a range of more than three thousand kilometers. The goddess of winter is no weaker than him. It is normal for her to be able to understand what is happening thousands of miles away.
The Goddess of Winter continued: "Zhidong of the Celestial Clan, her goal is also the ancient ruins. If her goal conflicts with yours, sooner or later you will be hostile to each other."
Xu Cheng asked back: "I remember that you are also looking for the whereabouts of ancient ruins?"
The Goddess of Winter explained: "I am looking for the ruins, mainly to find the power to defeat Zhi Dong. If you cooperate with me, then I can give the ruins to you without taking any money."
