Chapter 513-516: The Demon King's Smile (3-in-1)
"No kidding! Mr. Jones. β
Reid smiled wryly, "I know that as the court of life says, it is the real supreme master, and Mr. Jones, you have said that you are just... Mankind. β
After a pause, he opened his mouth to say something, but stopped again.
Ivan smiled.
Do you want to say that the mortal body can be compared to the gods?
Hmph~ What is the mortal body compared to the gods?
I've even seen the body of a god comparable to a mortal!
For example, the son of the living planet 'Igo Celestial' and the captain of the Guardians of the Galaxy 'Demigod Star-Lord' has truly turned it upside down.
'The body of a god is comparable to that of mortals! β
"That being said..."
Adam looked at Reed: "This mortal can even beat me up as a 'son of God', think about it, I am a son of God!" β
He whispered.
"So I think Ivan definitely has the strength to match the gods, because I think God created all things, and he must be the strongest! As the Son of God, I am certainly not a weak stream! β
In contrast to Reed, Adam's speech can be described as silly and quite optimistic.
A fool is blessed because he truly believes that there is a 'God' in the world!
Although he didn't say it, Adam thought to himself that if that so-called court of life really wanted to destroy mankind, God would not stand idly by!
With this factor, he didn't feel too depressed.
"Listen, Mr. Richards."
Ivan looked directly at Reed: "Although Adam's logic is pure nonsense, I am indeed very strong, now you don't need to live in despair, we don't need to hide, we don't need to dodge, we go up to 'A' head-on!" β
"Nope! Mr. Jones! β
Reed's eyes were full of horror: "You don't know how strong it really is!" β
He suddenly felt that this 'Ivan' was extremely unreliable, and he continued.
"Maybe my description is not in place, but... But not the Court of Life itself, but the smuggler-headed golden men around it, each of them has the power to destroy me and Adam! β
"What? Look down on me? "Adam wasn't happy!
The three of them discussed this, and the temperature in the air gradually increased for some reason.
Faint energy fluctuations came from the sky.
Adam and Reed didn't notice it at first, but Ivan was acute, and he looked up slightly at the sky.
A part of the blue sky has already become as red as dusk, bizarre and eerie.
Above the clouds, hundreds of golden-crowned snakeheads stood at a distance, each holding a trident in their hands.
The first of them was a snake head that was larger than the other hundred, and this one was the source of light.
It was the light energy on his body that stained that small cloud of the sky.
"Here we are."
It was a more shrill voice: "Here... It's the first inner universe, the planet called 'Earth'. β
The Serpent Man said this, and began to scan the surface of the earth with its cold gaze.
At the same time, Ivan also tilted his neck downward, looking at the snake man.
These snake-headed golden men are similar in shape and appearance to the four heads they saw in the 'Palace of Balance'.
"Reed Richards."
The sharp voice came out of the mouth of the 'snake man' led by him again: "I am the 'defender' under the Life Court, and I am the executor of the punishment for your crimes!" β
The sound was quite penetrating, and Reed shuddered, apparently he could hear it too.
Ivan squinted, and he saw that the gaze of the 'snake-headed golden man' in the sky had been cast on this area.
To be precise, that gaze was already locked on 'Reed', and it was exactly the same.
It is possible to quickly and accurately lock a person from the surface of such a large earth.
That's definitely a lot harder than the average person finding the 'right ant' from a 'big nest'.
Ivan guessed that this guy was able to find Reed so quickly, and it was very likely that 'Reed' was 'energy marked' by these gods in advance.
Because of his own psionic energy, it can also be used to mark people for positioning, so Ivan is very familiar with this function.
"It's coming too fast." Reed looked at the sky, sparks of fear flashing in his eyes.
More than 2,000 corpses, and that desperate scene resurfaced in Reed's mind.
Reed couldn't get over this hurdle, he always felt that the death of 2,000 people had his own responsibility, and he felt indebted.
- If I hadn't studied what shuttles a long time ago...
These people... How can they die?
And now... There are many more people who will die because of me... But I can't do anything about it...
It was a tremendous pressure, and those who were not in the game could not imagine what kind of despair and torment Reed's mind was undergoing.
But he listened to the 'leader' of the snake-headed golden man continue.
"The Court of Life has given you a chance, Reed!"
The sound was projected in a straight line, and not all earthlings could hear it, but only Reed and those near him.
Some people in the square heard it, and they looked at the sky in wonder - there was a radio from the sky?
"The punishment you should have accepted was to witness the destruction of the entire earthlings of the First Inner Universe, but now, you have a chance to save them."
The leader of the snake man is the yin and yang monster qi.
"You can show repentance by prostrating, Reed... On your knees! Kowtow! With every kowtow, we let go of the life of a human on Earth,
For every two knocks, let go of two, it's simple, right? Yes... This is the opportunity that the Court of Life gives you atonement! β
Reed's heart contracted violently, and there were 7 billion people on the planet, and every time he kowtowed, he could only save one person.
How many people can you save?
In 0.3 seconds, Reed's brain automatically calculates the result.
There are 86,400 seconds in a day, and if you kowtow one a second, at this speed, regardless of other factors, you can only kowtow 86,400 times a day.
Based on 365 days a year, he can kowtow 31,536,000 a year.
If you can live for another 100 years and maintain a fixed amount of kowtows every year, you can kowtow up to 3.1 billion heads for the rest of your life.
In other words, this means that he has to keep knocking, even if he knocks until he dies of old age, he can't even save half of them!
Then the leader of the snake people laughed.
It bared its golden fangs and asked, "How?" β
"Bastard!"
Adam couldn't take it anymore, and he didn't wait for Reed to respond, his palms intersected, and energy suddenly gathered around him.
"What is that court of life! Disciplinary? Didn't Reed just pass through a universe? What are you guys! My father 'God' didn't punish Reid, which is your turn! β
Adam shouted, "I won't let Reed be humiliated by you no matter what!" β
White light intertwined around Adam's body, gradually forming a dazzling 'wrapped white ball of light'.
Seeing this scene, the leader of the golden-bodied snake people in the sky smiled gloomily.
Although it was far away, it still saw a rather obvious white light on the ground, and it knew that there was a weak man among them who was weak but had some ability, and wanted to resist.
"Resistance?"
The leader waved the golden trident in his hand, and in just a second, a golden ball of light the size of a house gathered in front of him, and then it pointed the trident in the direction of Adam on the ground.
Shout~! The ball of light seems to have been instructed! Adam slammed into the ground!
"Drink!"
Adam's eyes lit up white, and he flew to the ground with a loud shout! The white light on the surface of his body accompanied him, colliding head-on with the golden ball!
Bang! The two energies quickly tore apart! For a while, a cloud of energy spread in mid-air!
"Ignorance."
The leader of the snake people smiled and looked at Adam, who was in the middle of the battlefield in the air, constantly 'competing' with the golden energy he emitted.
But in fact, it couldn't see Adam very much, because Adam was such a small person, and his body was covered with white light, which had been covered by the air battlefields full of light energy.
But that's not important, it's important...
It slowly raised the trident in its hand, slightly relieved... He injected even greater power into the 'golden energy' of his own in the central battlefield.
Just a little more power, the golden energy of the snake man leader surpassed Adam, and the 'white energy' belonging to Adam was gradually suppressed.
- Is this a matter of victory and defeat?
The leader of the snake-headed golden man smiled grimlyβI had only used less than a tenth of my strength, and if I added another twenty, it would only take a moment for this stupid fellow to be wiped out.
- But how can it be interesting in that case?
- Slowly increasing my strength, looking at this human being who is not self-sufficient, slowly exhausted, this is really the life adjustment I want.
Thinking of this, the snake leader began to slowly increase the energy delivery to the center of the air battlefield, from 10%, to 11%, and then to 12.5%.
At the same time, it turned its head sideways, and looked at Reed on the ground through the light cloud.
- This man... What kind of expression do you have? Could it be hope?
- The despair after my hope has been shattered, how beautiful the scenery I longed for...
The snake-headed golden man held the trident in one hand to convey energy, and while looking at Reed on the ground, he grinned... Laughed.
Sure enough, it saw a glimmer of hope in Reed's upturned face.
At the same time, it stumbled upon a glimpse of Reed's side ... There was also a person standing.
The black-haired man, with his face also up, looked at the sky like Reed, watching the battle.
- Who is the man?
It squinted its eyes to see clearly, but the clouds of light inadvertently blocked its vision.
- Damn, is this glare light against me! Why did he block my view at the critical moment!
- Wait! Moment of truth?
INTERVIEWER Why do I subconsciously think that it was a 'moment of truth'? That person... Is there anything important?
- Could it be that I caught a glimpse of something that I couldn't let go? Does it make me subconsciously want to see clearly?
As he thought so, the cloud of light spread and displaced, and it could see the black-haired man on the ground again.
The man's face was clean, with a pair of pure blue eyes, and he was looking up.
The leader of the snake people stared at the face... I thought about it.
- This face...
- Just like humans, they are ordinary faces.
- Just like humans, they have fair skin...
- Well, the pupils are blue... It's beautiful.
- But! What does all this have to do with me?
- Why should I take a serious look at what a human on the ground looks like?
- The Court of Life called me to humiliate a human named Reed, to destroy humanity in order to prevent future troubles! Instead of letting me see which man among the human race is more handsome!
- Why did I have to see a man's face just now?
- Am I a pervert?
The leader of the snake people thought as he shot light from the trident in his hand and confronted Adam in the air.
- No, it's not! I know very well that I'm by no means a pervert!
- But why do I care so much about this man's appearance?
- Could it be that this face, for me... Does it make any sense?
- Or have I seen this face!!
Thump! The leader of the snake people was taken aback by this idea of his own!
- Wait! But I can't remember this face!
- Human beings are of an alien race, and the effect of interracial face blindness has caused me to see that every human face is almost the same, basically only vaguely good-looking and ugly.
- That being said, the humans I came into contact with... It's very little.
- There are few humans who can make an impression on me... I'm afraid it's only...
Suddenly! A name popped into its head!
Ivan Jones !!
- Ma's! Isn't that good!!
- Could this human be or not?
For some reason, its whole body began to tremble... A large bead of golden sweat flowed from the edge of the snake's head.
Yes, it has seen Ivan Jones.
When Ivan blasted through the planetary barrier and broke into the Palace of Balance, scared the guards away and killed Love and Hate.
It was also present.
It was one of the four snake-headed golden men at that time.
When 'hate' is killed and 'love' is slaughtered, it is watching from the sidelines! Don't dare to say a word!
- No, it won't! Ivan Jones is the life of the main universe! And this is the First Inner Universe! How could he be here?
- There's no way he's here! What reason did he have for coming to the First Outer Universe? And what's the reason to be right next to my 'mission target'?!
- He... He... No...
Cruel memories of the past! Uncontrollably resurfaced in the mind of the leader of the snake people!
ββ
It was a quiet day, and the leader of the Serpent was chatting with Love, the Head of Order, Hate and other colleagues in the Palace of Balance about trivial matters such as how to solve the problem of underground energy supply.
The rise of the conversation, suddenly there was a bang outside! It's the sound of the barrier shattering!
At the same time, a voice pierced through everything and poured into the room where they were.
The voice was vast and powerful, claiming that his name was Evan Jones.
After that, when several people were discussing how to deal with the invaders, the invader 'Ivan Jones' had already broken in, and the giant god guard in charge of guarding the gate had lost even the courage to fight under such a presence, and he didn't dare to stop him.
The man who called himself Ivan Jones broke in and talked and laughed as if he were not an intruder, but had returned home.
The leader of the snake people trembled, and he didn't dare to come out, and the 'hate' of the four laws was the most courageous, and he stepped forward to question the 'master' about the 'invader'!
But just revealing the 'hostile' intent, the 'hate' was bombarded into slag by the man's expressionless blow!
The leader of the snake people can't forget the cruel scene at that time!
My colleagues who have been with me for an unknown number of years, their flesh and blood turned into sand and ashes one by one... Scattered on the ground.
And the man, just said lightly, 'You made a mistake', and continued to talk and laugh as if nothing had happened.
It's like killing a venerable law life is just a trivial trifle!
However, this is not the end, and soon, another of his colleague 'Ai' is also killed.
The man laughed rampantly, ate the concept of love and hate raw, and put it into his body! He ignores the rules and regulations!
No one dared to stop the man named 'Ivan Jones'! The head of order is constantly pleasing the gods among the whole balance! They all succumbed to the obscenity of the Demon King!
To this day, the leader of the snake people still can't forget what he experienced that day, and the man's face... Cruel laugh!
...
"Shhh
A spirit! The leader of the snake people breaks free from terrible memories!
He could see at a glance that Adam in the 'Central Air Battlefield' could no longer support himself under his own output! If his own strength continues to be strengthened, Adam will be severely damaged!
Wow! The leader of the snake people urgently shook the trident in his hand, and the energy sent to the central battlefield was greatly recovered! Act fast!
Suddenly, Adam's pressure was relieved.
"Defenders, what's wrong?"
A small snake man on the side asked the leader of the snake man with a puzzled face.
"I'm going to kill him soon... How did you... Suddenly retracted? β
"I... I just... Catch a glimpse of a man on the ground...," the leader of the snake people trembled.
"People? Who is it? β
"Don't... Don't ask... I... All I can say is... Our mission has failed..."
This happened, and Adam, who was in the central battlefield at this time, also felt it.
He was a little puzzled, he obviously couldn't support it anymore, it was already a big disadvantage, why did the other party accept it?
Lost the battlefield where the snake leader continues to deliver energy... The clouds of light have gradually dissipated.
"The Son of God... Is it? β
The leader of the serpent man steadied his mind, although he did not know who God was, but before Adam called himself the Son of God, let me call it that.
"Your courage is very good, I admire it, sure enough... This confirms what I think in my heart, that all human beings on earth are worthy of respect. β
The leader of the snake people stared at Adam, who was a little confused, and said.
Ivan squinted his eyes below, he saw that Adam was overwhelmed, and he was just about to kill this group of snake people, why did the other party suddenly stop?
"What the hell?" Adam asked aloud.
"That's right, I am ordered by the Court of Life to perish all the humanity on this earth."
The leader of the snake people said with a serious face: "But I oppose the decision of the Life Court, I think that life should not be taken away so easily, even if it is a low-level life!" β
Adam gasped and stared at the snake man, "But you're here anyway." β
"For the orders of the Court of Life are inviolable, and to disobey them means that I must suffer a punishment that you cannot imagine."
The leader of the snake people said slowly: "But just now, your justice and your courage have deeply touched me, so that me..."
It took a deep breath.
"In any case, I have decided to let you go, maybe in the near future, the 'Court of Life' will come to destroy you in person, but I will not attack you again!"
A golden tear flowed from the corner of the snake leader's eye: "This means that when I go back, I will be punished by cutting off my limbs and burning them, but..."
Adam looked confused, and Reed on the ground also looked confused.
What's the situation? The transformation is so fast, it's... This guy compares to just now... Still alone?
"It doesn't matter, if a creature has to be hurt, then I'll bear the pain!"
The leader of the snake people waved his hand: "Good luck to you!" Earthling! Alright, that's it, let's withdraw! β
After it finished speaking, it immediately turned around, and the surrounding snakes all looked puzzled, and for some reason, the leader suddenly ordered to retreat.
But they still obeyed the order and turned around with the leader of the snake people, and hundreds of snake people were about to leave!
"Wait a minute."
A voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't rush to leave yet." β
That's the voice of Ivan Jones!
The leader of the snake people only felt a chill down his spine!
"Everyone, get out! Fast! They all pretend not to hear! β
After this order was issued, the snake people saw that the leader's tone was panicked, and they directly accelerated and did not dare to ask more.
However, a small black hole suddenly spawned behind the snakes, and the strong gravitational pull immediately pulled them, and they couldn't get rid of it even if they were able to feed on it!
"Pretend you didn't hear? This sentence... I hear you. β
Ivan's voice was so close! The leader of the snake people turned around! I found that Ivan was already in the air at some point, and not far behind him!
"Are we... Have you ever seen it? β
Ivan smiled and touched his chin: "For example... That balance? β
The heart and lungs seem to stop! The snake leader's pupils contracted suddenly, and it suddenly remembered when the two gods of 'love and hate' were 'rubbed into ashes'!
The Demon King! The cruel smile on his face is such a smile!
