Chapter 37: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle
Island Sixty-Eight, Fairy Warehouse.
The wooden building that once housed the golden elves is blazing, the washed clothes are covered with mud, and the beautiful meadows that once used to play for children are gone, replaced by ravines and deep pits.
The four golden armors more than two meters tall were like steel giants, and the heavy armor exuded a cold and cold smell, which was intimidating. They walked through the ruins, each step causing violent tremors. The red dots on the helmet scanned the surroundings like eyes, as if looking for something.
Suddenly, a figure burst out from the smoke of the fire, with a white dress, long blue hair, and a golden holy sword, SeΓ±oris, none other than the golden fairy Kodori, who had been warned not to use magic again!
"You ...... Bastard!"
The holy sword slashed through a beautiful arc, slashing at the golden armor at the front with terrifying power. Just hearing a bang, the heavy arm armor blocked the blade, and the golden armor made a tooth-aching sound, and the power was channeled into the ground, causing a huge explosion in an instant!
Rubble and earth flew, and a crack spread, nearly slicing off a piece of Island Sixty-Eight, and even the golden armor staggered to its knees, but Kodori couldn't accept the result.
Even though you have exhausted all your strength, you still sneak attack, but you still can't kill even a single enemy?
The wings of light behind her unfolded, and she once again witnessed the strength of these golden armors after a failed blow, and immediately wanted to avoid the opponent's counterattack.
But a metal palm grabbed her slender ankle with unusually fast speed, making her like a flying insect falling into a spider's web, unable to move again.
Worst!
Kodoli hurriedly put the holy sword in front of her, and the opponent's iron fist came in an instant. With a loud bang, Kodori's thin body was knocked out like a cannonball, crackling and leaving a deep ravine along the way, and slamming into a large tree to a halt.
"Wow!"
Kodoli spat out a mouthful of blood, and the tree behind her broke off from the impact and slowly fell to the ground. Although she took most of the damage with the Holy Sword, the remaining power still caused her serious damage.
His hands kept shaking, and he remembered the inexplicable words in his ears. Not only was he suffering physically but also mentally. Kodori's blue hair had only grown a few more red strands after the first coma, but now her red hair was rapidly increasing. It's like a drop of red paint dripping into blue ink, quickly changing the original color.
The shards of the Star God's soul are awakening, and as a result, Kodori's personality is gradually collapsing. As an artificial life, the golden elf can produce self-consciousness is a "dream" produced by the fragments of the soul of the star god, and if the main master wakes up, the "dream" will naturally disappear.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why should I fight?
Kodori's mind was in turmoil, she felt she had something important to do, but she couldn't think of it. The consequences of the Personality Collapse have been revealed, and her memories are beginning to be lost, just as one cannot remember every scene in a dream, and when Kodori completely forgets everything, her personality will also collapse completely.
The golden armor gathered up, and the sound of heavy footsteps woke Kodori.
The girl's eyes lit up again, and her blood-stained hand clenched the holy sword.
"By the way, I want to protect everyone!" Kodoli said with a confusion in her eyes: "But who are you?" I can't remember any names......
The metal iron fist of the golden armor smashed down, and a beautiful fairy flew out in the midst of the shaking of the mountain, and the light wings behind it were like a dream, and Kodori looked around in the air, and the tragic sight made her heart ache inexplicably. I can't remember it, but I always feel like it's a place full of joy and smiles.
The hollow eyes became firm again, and the light of the holy sword lit up again.
"Everyone......" Kodoli rushed down, "It's my important family!"
Bang!
The blade fell, and a metal arm flew into space.
The wings of light behind Kodoli became more and more brilliant, and she shouted loudly, "Give my family back!"
The fierce battle began again, and the sword light burst out. Explosions have been heard one after another, turning the once joyful paradise beyond recognition.
The voice disappeared, and Kodori was grabbed by the huge metal palm, red points of light swept over her body, and the golden armor made a mechanical voice: "The limit has been exceeded, defective, worthless!"
Kodori was thrown to the ground like garbage, and several golden armors passed by her without looking at her. This is not the first time this has happened, Kodoli is worthless in the eyes of these golden armors, which is why she can attack again and again, but the other golden elves are "valuable" and are captured and taken to the ground in airships.
The Golden Armor is still walking through the ruins, and their mission is to hunt for and capture the Golden Elves. Kodori stood up with her sword, more and more of her long blue hair replaced by red, and countless fond memories were gone, but she still remembered the meaning of the battle.
"I want to protect my family and get my family back!"
Kodoli tried to step forward, but was pressed by a hand on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw a familiar woman who couldn't remember her name. The long purple hair was so gentle, and the face that was always smiling was now frosty.
Cortana took Kodori in her arms and reprimanded loudly, "What a fool, if you force it any longer, you're going to break down!"
Kodoli continued, "I want to protect ...... Family. β
"Got it, I got it!" Cortana said helplessly: "A2, 2B, I'll leave it to you!"
"Yes!"
The two figures flew out, stretched out their hands and pulled out the black oath and the white contract from the runes, and saw a flash of sword light, the golden armor was cut off and the limbs were cut into human sticks, 2 and 2B were about to pierce their chests, but Yingluo held down their wrists.
"Wait a minute. Yingluo said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the floating continent seems to have invented something amazing." β
Yingluo pulled off the breastplate of the golden armor, revealing the true face of Lushan inside. I saw a small golden fairy curled up inside, surrounded by black energy, with a painful face and a pale face.
Xiao Na was very surprised: "Is it a humanoid weapon with the golden goblin as the power source? What kind of black technology is this?
"It's a little weird, but at least it's a lot more efficient. Yingluo said: "The combat power of the golden goblins is limited by the number of holy swords, and these golden armors perfectly make up for this shortcoming. From the point of view of technology, the Floating Continent is fully capable of mass-producing this kind of iron can, plus the golden goblin as a 'battery' can also be mass-produced, as long as the materials are sufficient, it can produce an army in a very short time. β
Xiao Na said hesitantly: "The two are indeed not too advanced techniques, but it is not a small problem to make the two into one, if it is just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, I am afraid that the luck value of the floating continent will break through the sky." β
"Not by luck, of course. Ying Luo pointed to the black energy on the golden goblin and said, "Take a closer look, you shouldn't even recognize our old friends, right?"
Cortana narrowed her eyes, then opened them violently, and said in surprise, "This is ...... The Abyss?!It's the first time I've seen it since it was downgraded, and if it was a ghost, it would make sense. But this time it's too well-behaved, and it just acts as a stabilizer, which always feels inconsistent with its personality. β
Yingluo spread his hands: "The only one who can change the abyss is the Void Sea, although I don't know what its intention is to do this, but it's always right to stop it." β
"How do you stop it?"
"Forget, didn't that guy named Crowe find a human relic with the remnants of the abyss? I warned the Great Sage not to come close, but now it seems ......" Yingluo shrugged: "That guy probably didn't listen to my advice. β
"Hey, what a wayward old man. β
"Haha, that's right, but the guy who can create miracles is often the one who can carry out the willfulness to the end. That guy is also a poor man to admire......"
"Let him go?"
"There's no need. Yingluo shook his head: "Murderers are always killed, and those who disregard the lives of others will become a candle in the wind." Capriciousness is not an excuse for unscrupulousness...... Send him on his way with respect. β
Cortana nodded: "Understood!"
To choose to compromise with the abyss is to give up the last vestiges of humanity, and no matter how noble the purpose is, it will only cause countless tragedies in the end. Killing them before they happen is the final salvation.
"How's Kodori's doing?" Yingluo stroked the girl's forehead, her once blue hair had been covered in a large area of red, and only a few strands of hair remained their original color.
"It's not good. Cortana shook her head and said, "Although I have curbed the awakening of the Star God's soul fragment, Kodori has lost 80% of her memory. If we use magic again, I'm afraid we won't be able to save her. β
"Really?" Ying Luo smiled: "As long as it exists, it will definitely create more and better memories." Send her back to the resort star and let Hope take care of it, and then send her back when the matter here is over. β
"Hmm. Cortana teleported, and the white light flashed but remained in place. She said in surprise: "The spatial coordinates are suddenly disordered, this is too coincidental!"
"It may be a coincidence to be in another place, but it's certainly not here. Ying Luo's face showed a bit of solemnity: "Is it a cage created by the Void Sea? It seems that it doesn't just want to destroy this world! Take Kodori, protect it, no matter what the Void Sea wants to do, first deal with the abyssal residue here." Safety hazards or something, always the less the better!"
At this time, William's communication suddenly came in: "Can you hear me, Lord Cortana?"
"Clearly, where are you now?"
"That ruin that Crowe found last time!" William couldn't stop panting as he spoke, and there were a few faint explosions: "If you can, please come quickly, Shi Wan is crazy, he and Black Candle are going to resurrect the Star God!"
Cortana and Yingluo glanced at each other, is that really the case?
"Rest assured, we are planning to go to you. Cortana said, "But for some reason, we can't teleport in space, so it may take a while to arrive, so you hold on first." β
Another explosion came, followed by William's violent cough: "Persistence is persevere, but it is estimated that it will not last long." β
"Don't worry, it'll be there in a minute or two. β
"It's okay for one minute, but I can't guarantee it for two minutes!"
"You're not ashamed to be so fast, if it's a man, I'll stick to it to the end!"
Ying Luo glared, scared Xiao Na shuddered, and quickly changed her words: "Anyway, we will pass soon, you work hard!"
"I ...... Try to be!"
Cutting off the communication, Yingluo nodded and said, "Let's go, it seems that the big boss this time is the enhanced version of the Star God." β
Cortana licked her lips: "It's on me, it's been a long time since I've had a serious fight, I hope that star god can let me have fun!"
Yingluo smiled, and everyone jumped off the floating island and flew quickly towards the human ruins where William was.
β¦β¦
"Why do you want to do that?" said William, half-kneeling on the ground, his body covered in holes large and small, and blood gushing out like small water pipes. If it weren't for the mirror information of the world's rules stored in the body, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago.
Shi Wan was also embarrassed, his white robe was torn, and he was panting violently with his staff. If he were alone, he might not really be William's opponent, but now he is not alone, and Black Candle is his loyal ally. In the case of two against one, William is still not an opponent even if he has an immortal body.
"Why don't you do this?" the Great Sage asked rhetorically, "If the Black Candle Lord wants to resurrect the Star God, I will take back the earth." Is there anything wrong with that? It's just why you're trying so hard to stop us, it's a puzzling thing!"
"Resurrect the Star God or take back the earth. To be honest, I don't disagree. Even if it was a star god, knowing that she and us humans were pawns manipulated by the Void Sea, I couldn't hate it at all. William spat out the blood in his mouth and stood up with gritted teeth: "It's not what you want to do that is wrong, it's the way you do it!"
"What's wrong?" the Great Sage asked rhetorically again, "Isn't it the best of both worlds to destroy beasts to collect the soul fragments of the Star God and recapture the earth?
"But what about the children?" William pointed to the golden goblins who had been captured and cowered in the corner, "Can we sacrifice their lives for our happiness?"
"They're just artifacts that don't understand life and death, they're consumables, they're batteries, don't you understand!" said the great sage loudly: "If you like their appearance, when it's all over, I can make a few more of the same type for you, so you can be satisfied!"
William's face changed, and he punched the great sage in the face, and then he was hit by the black beam of light emitted by the black candle duke, piercing his thigh and flying out.
Friends who used to fight side by side fell to the ground at the same time, embarrassed. William suddenly laughed bitterly: "Why did you become like this, obviously you were not such a person before." β
"Probably because...... People are always changing. The great sage struggled to his feet: "So I will continue to walk, even if I bear the sin, I will continue to walk!"
"Really, then I will stop you!" William also stood up: "Because the brave is the one who cuts off the sins!"
"Although you somehow have an immortal body, your physical strength is not unlimited. A large number of runes appeared next to the great sage: "I will cut off your limbs with the next blow, and you can just leave the field for the time being and watch everything obediently." β
"If you can do it, then come on!" William said with a smile, "Before that, I'll punch you in the nose!"
"Stubborn!" the Great Sage snorted coldly, Fu Wenhua made a lightsaber and slashed at William overwhelmingly.
There were so many lightsabers that they completely blocked William's retreat, and although the golden goblins next to him didn't understand the concept of life and death, it didn't prevent them from having feelings. The more simple they are, the more they can understand good and evil, and William has long been their relatives after taking care of them for a long time, and they are shouting in fear when they see danger coming. But William gave the children a handsome smile, and then rushed forward at the lightsaber without hesitation.
The Great Sage's eyes widened, and he saw that William's body was covered with a transparent shield, and the lightsaber broke off on it. A bloody fist got closer, and then slammed into the Great Sage's nose, knocking him flying.
"I said, I'm going to punch your nose!" William shook his fist and then fell to the ground with a weak leg, he looked up at the figure behind him and said, "Thank goodness you came." β
Cortana jumped out and said with a smile: "Isn't that handsome guy just now?"
"It's cool. William smiled bitterly and said, "It's just a little too exciting, my feet are soft." β
"Haha, overall you did a good job, don't embarrass me. Cortana pinched her fingers and said, "Now you can rest, everything is with me!"
Xiao Na looked at the great sage and the black candle man, and said with a malicious smile: "Since I am here, your good days are also over, come and come, the male left and the female and the right ladyboy stand in the middle, and squat down against the wall with your head in your arms!"
