"Thom is dead, and I have another life on my back."

Dressed in black steel armor, Hinkley sighed as he stood in the ruins.

It used to be the famous amphitheater of Silver City, but now it is nothing more than an empty flat land surrounded by ruins. This is the last place where Sinclave needs to set up the circle, and the huge sacrificial circle is about to be successfully operated.

"One person's life is so insignificant, but the lives of countless people add up to be as heavy as a mountain."

Sinclair finished the final stroke, and the entire circle shimmered with a lilac glow. There is no one left to stop this grand sacrificial ritual, and there will be no living creatures left in the city except for Hinclave, who is presiding over the ceremony, and everything will be reshaped into the ideal shape of steel and iron.

As the final stage, there is no more suitable place than the Grand Theater, because life is nothing but a clumsy drama, and mortals can only dance according to the script of fate, so the curtain call, the curtain call, before the worm that devours everything appears.

"You must know that everything in the world is only false, and only what you see in your dreams is real."

Hinclair opened his arms and closed his eyes and looked up to the sky, as if to embrace the whole sky.

"You are not worthy to lead the Brotherhood of Steel! Look what you've done to make us so ugly! ”

Hinckley opened his eyes and saw that it was Heywood, the lookout who had been in charge of the headquarters guard.

"It's amazing that you still have a human way of thinking. You've been hiding your peculiarity all along, is that just to question me right now? ”

Heywood looked like a silver lion made of steel, his facial expression full of anger.

"I just want to know why you're doing this, answer me, or I'll kill you!"

Heywood was originally an old man with steel prosthetics, and in order to survive, his body had undergone several modification surgeries, and his strength through hardships may be the reason why he was able to maintain himself.

"You are the only one who still retains the human mind, but you are the only one among the members of the Brotherhood who has been transformed to have the form of a beast, don't you understand, for the crystal creatures, the human mind is like a beast, full of barbarism and violence."

Sincley calmly analyzed.

"I don't want to hear that, Hinclair, you know what I want to hear!"

Sincley was silent as Heywood continued to question.

"I have followed you since I was a child, I have worshipped you as an idol, you have been an example for me to follow, and I have never questioned you. I've dedicated my life to the Brotherhood of Steel, and I've never had any selfish thoughts, it's all because of you, Hinclair! You should be the hero who leads us to hope, not the ghost you are now! You're destroying the Brotherhood of Steel, you're ruining yourself! ”

The Iron Lion's angry roar echoed through the ruins.

"Did you know that humans are a strange race, they are the same race but they are amazingly different, they are both teamwork and individual heroes, everyone believes that they are different. The fact that each person does have their own unique qualities makes humanity a very complex racial group, with both saints and demons. Therefore, heroes who can lead humanity must have inhuman qualities, because only transcendent beings can make most people surrender. There is only a thin line between a hero and a monster, just like the difference between a god and a demon, who can tell the real hero in this world where demons are dancing wildly? ”

"Sophistry!"

"There are no lies and no concealment, I just say what I think. The gap between humans is sometimes bigger than the gap between humans and aliens, so in that case, it is acceptable to abandon human flesh and become a monster in the mouth of humans. ”

"Nonsense! Sure enough, Sinclay you have changed, although your body is still human, but your heart is already the heart of a monster, let me end your life! ”

Faced with the onslaught of the Iron Lion, Sinclair had no intention of dodging, he closed his eyes and said pityingly.

"Another life."

Before Heywood's action in the air was over, he flashed behind Sincley and took a bite on Hinclair's body, because of the difference in size, Heywood could almost bite Hinclair directly into two pieces.

The moment the sharp teeth stabbed Sinclave's Black Steel Armor, the Black Steel Armor melted.

"Biting constantly?"

The steel teeth that could easily bite through the rock could not penetrate the thin layer of black liquid.

The Black Steel armor melted like wax into an eerie liquid substance, reaching out countless tentacles to grab Heywood, then slowly detached from Hinclave's body and transferred to the surface of the Iron Lion.

"What is this?! Get off me! ”

Heywood shook his body desperately, and even rolling on the ground couldn't get rid of the black liquid, which seemed to grow on the body of the iron lion, turning into a skin.

Although he didn't know what the black thing was for, but it was certainly not a good thing, Heywood decisively ignored this for the time being after trying to shake off the black liquid and attacked Hinclave again.

"No matter what this armor is made of and what it does, taking off the armor is the wrong choice you can make! Even if I die because of this, I will drag you to hell with me! ”

The Iron Lion, whose body was gradually covered in black liquid, rushed to Hinkley with all his strength with a determination to die.

"I'm so sorry, I can't even fully control this piece, it's already too late."

Jumping in mid-air, Heywood was about to unleash his flash ability, only to find himself frozen in the air, like a bug trapped in grease.

"Why betray our ......"

The pitch-black Heywood melted into a puddle of water like the armor just now, and it was strange that the volume of this black liquid did not increase or consume.

"Why is it that human beings are always unable to accept existence that is different from their own? Everyone wants to be the only one, an existence that surpasses others, but when the real Superman appears, people either worship him as a god or fear him like a demon, but they never consider that the monster in their eyes is their own kind, just a mere human being. In most people's eyes, heroes and monsters are synonymous at all. ”

The black liquid squirmed to get closer to Hinclave.

"Enough, let me rest!"

The black liquid stopped not far away, rippled in large numbers, and countless distorted faces emerged, these faces silently screamed, roared, cried, cursed, as if dissatisfied with Sinclair's alienation.

"Humans are so scary, I want to be a golem."

Sinclair stared blankly ahead, only five minutes left before the sacrificial circle was successfully connected and activated.

"President, I've brought the key."

A man who looked like a standing insect carried a crystal coffin flew through the air and landed in front of Sinclair.

"Good."

The insect man put down the crystal coffin and stood aside respectfully.

If you look closely at this person, it should be more like a mantis man, an empty shell mantis man made of metal, his body is very tall, and there are two pairs of slender and slender iron wings on his back.

Sincley walked over to the crystal coffin and pushed the lid open, revealing the sleeping man inside.

"If you were used as an introduction to the whole ceremony, my lord would be more pleasant."

Lying inside the crystal coffin was none other than the holy warrior, Aphrodite.

At this time, Aphrodite, who was lying peacefully in the crystal coffin, only had a moon-white dress on her body, except for her underwear, she seemed to have fallen into a sweet dream, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, her expression was soft, and her long blonde hair was also softly spread out, which was very beautiful and moving.

With a wave of his hand, a large amount of metal flew out of the surrounding ruins, forming an iron bed in the center of the circle carved on the ground.

"This is ugly."

Sinclair smiled helplessly, and then, with his will, the iron bed disintegrated and flew away.

The Empty Shell Mantis Man next to him tilted his head slightly, looking at Hinclair inexplicably.

"As a sacrifice, although the quality itself must be of high quality, the process of sacrifice must also be perfect, just like a delicacy, it must be paired with fine utensils to show the owner's taste."

A crystal clear crystal bed carved from crystal was created by Hinclave with divine magic and slowly landed in the center of the circle.

Sincley carried Aphrodite onto the crystal bed with a gentle movement.

"President, just now I found a bald warrior flying here from the air on the road, because my ability is not suitable for a head-to-head confrontation, so I didn't make a rash move, I'm afraid he is almost here."

Sinclair squinted his eyes and said to the Empty Shell Mantis.

"It was an enemy of the Brotherhood of Steel, and Tom died at his hands, and he must pay with his death."

"How is it possible, Lord Thom's strength is superb, and he can be called a rare opponent in a mid-range battle, and he would die at the hands of that human!"

"Tom is too arrogant, I'm afraid this is the end of his contempt for the enemy, that human is not an ordinary person, he is a spellcaster who can use magic spells, if you encounter it, you should be careful, try to attack with all your strength at the first time, be sure not to give him a chance to fight back."

"Keep it in mind."

"Then retreat first, prepare for battle, and inform the brothers of the other nodes that they can't relax, and they must not let anyone ruin the ceremony."

"President, don't you really need someone else to guard it? Please at least let me serve in the next way! ”

"It's okay, you just stay here, remember that I don't need you to protect me, you just need to hide nearby, play your strengths, and don't attack blindly."

"Yes."

The Empty Shell Mantis seems to be gliding on the ground, lurking into a ruin in an eerie silent movement, its colors changing until it blends into the background without any misery.

"Come, conqueror, show your fangs and soak in the blood of your enemies!"

An amorphous black liquid poured over Hinclair like a waterfall, and soon, a new pair of black steel armor appeared on Hinclave's body.

"It's heavy, but that's the weight of life."
