Chapter 17: Broken
Chapter 17 Broken
"This is really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, well, the ancients said that the sea of blood drifting may be like this. The man who had forced the heavy door open with one hand walked into the hall in a leisurely manner, put the hand that pushed the door back into his coat pocket, and then raised the pancake fruit in his other hand and took a bite. After a standard four chews, he swallowed, then looked at what was in front of him and continued, "Although I can't see the sea of blood or the mountain of corpses, I can only see an indescribable indescribable object and two sneaky creatures. He looked away slightly, glancing slightly at where the other two were hiding.
The man tried to speak, but was pulled by the woman, who shook his head at him and motioned for him to wait.
"Well, why don't you come out and talk, Mr. and Miss over there?" the man in the audience sighed, his words seemed to carry a little regret, but not so strong, "That's a pity, I wanted to know more about my enemies before going to war, but now it really doesn't seem realistic?"
The man waited for a while, but the other party still did not give any reply, except for the squirming sound of the monster that kept devouring the corpse, the whole room was as silent as if it were frozen - by the way, while waiting, the man ate the pancake fruit in his hand slowly, one bite at a time, and then folded the paper bag containing the pancake fruit well, and put it in his coat pocket.
"Well, since you don't want to say it, I won't force it too much. The man stretched slightly, stretching himself, "But, presumably you're ready - pay for what you did or something?" Smiling at where the two were hiding, the man grinned as he stepped toward the giant tentacle-wielding monster in the hall.
"Huh!" It was the sound of a sharp object cutting through the air, but it was not a single one, but a hissing sound made by dozens of voices gathered together, the man's step forward, as if it had stimulated the nerves of the monster, it suddenly launched its own attack, dozens of tentacles pierced the air barrier with their sharp ends, and stabbed at the man at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye, and the corpse and blood on the ground also began to churn, like boiling water, bubbles bulged out of it, and in the burst bubbles, corrosive and highly toxic gases began to spread。
"Tuk!" There was a soft sound, and dozens of tentacles pierced through the man's body and slammed into the floor—but everyone present knew that it hadn't hit anything, because there was no sound of flesh piercing, and all that reverberated through the field was the soft sound of piercing the ground.
"It looks like something unspeakable, but in the end it's just a monster made of twisted flesh. The man's voice came out again, and the two people who were hiding immediately followed the voice to find its owner-the man was already standing in front of the huge monster, his left hand lightly resting on the surface of the monster that had become very hard, and said something inexplicable, "Well, sure enough, there is not much mystery in the place, it is still just a carbon-based creature, although it looks disgusting, but basically not much of a threat- However, this cannot be a product of this world, and there are some local theories that have not been produced in this world, and the rituals and powers used are not original to the world...... Traveler?" It wasn't until this moment that the monster reacted, and all its remaining tentacles stabbed at the man from all sides, with what number and coverage, unless the man could turn into tiny pieces and fly out and regroup, it would be impossible to escape.
And he had even tried to flee - he withdrew his left hand slightly, then flexed his fingers, and slammed a knuckle on the behemoth's body. The blow seemed to define eternity, countless tentacles and sharp things stopped in the air, time seemed to freeze in this moment, and at the place of the blow, some force stirred up a ripple like a stone thrown into a pond - not a joke, nor an exaggerated description, but a real ripple. From the position of the strike, a certain force spread like a ripple, and every inch it passed, the monster stopped its movements, and the ripple began from the position of the strike, but it did not end after passing through the monster's whole body, it continued to spread, along the rhizome that the monster had pierced into the floor, gradually spread to the whole house, and then re-agitated and returned, and so on several times, and finally gradually stopped.
"It's a botched imitation, like a boring joke. The man pursed his lips a little displeased, and then twisted his neck as if he was a little uncomfortable, "Ah, it's boring, boring, boring! Although boring daily life is my pursuit, but how is it that I finally encounter a super expansion or is it so boring? The sound was like a bell, and the stirring was accompanied by majestic power, and in this sound, everything began to tremble. Then, the huge monster began to disintegrate, first the edges and corners of the subtle details began to turn into powder little by little, this situation quickly spread, and immediately spread to the whole, the huge monster, the monster that killed dozens of people, including several professional soldiers, easily disintegrated in the air, and there was no power to fight back. But this was not the end, in front of the two people who were hiding, the world began to crumble - in their field of vision, the structure of the house began to crumble, the bricks began to fall off, the high ceiling fell like this, but it was only fine dust that hit them, the lady unconsciously reached out to lift the wine glass placed on the low table next to her to relieve her emotions, but the retracted hand was only a handful of crystal scraps in her fingertips - and then gravity began to pull them.
The sprawling and lavish venue disappeared from everyone's eyes, countless precious things were reduced to dust, and dozens of high-class celebrities disappeared and their fate was unknown—no matter how much that would affect Meade's society, but it was not on the minds of the three people present.
It was a bit embarrassing, but it wasn't fatal enough to fall from that height, and they didn't suffer any more injuries – physically, except for the woman who sprained her ankle because of her high heels. As for spiritually...... Their faces were gloomy, as if their faith had been crushed before them—not just likeness, but not really it? the vast, indescribable, representing the future in which they believed. The things of the future that poured out of the mouth of the prophets, things that were obviously the unstoppable power of mankind, were easily shattered in front of them by a man they had never met and heard of, and even the meeting place that was technically strong enough to resist the bombardment of railguns was also knocked to pieces—it was more useful than any words, and pure power shattered their faith in the most simple way.
"How's it going?" the man walked steadily on the fine dust, every step was like a casual walk on a normal day, but the two of them knew that they had tried to walk away, but the small things on the ground were so small that stepping into them was like syrup and making people fall into the mud - but the man walked over as easily as if he were walking on the ground, and his face did not fluctuate at all, and he still had the same relaxed smile, "Don't you plan to—tell me something?"
