Li Zhen had been prepared for such a thing as being injured. Until this point, however, he had not anticipated what would happen next.

The seventh blast of the egg came with a bang, and Li Zhen realized that he could not continue to stalemate with the other party like this, because he saw the true form of the egg in the gap of the impact.

It's grown. It is no longer the diamond-shaped object more than a meter high before, but has become a dazzling ball of light.

A ball of "light" in the flames, which is more than ten meters long.

It was as if countless tiny tentacles curled and wriggled to make up its body, and the outline was formed by the flames on the outside. Its body is surrounded by flames to cut off the sea, and farther out is a frantically exploding mass of water vapor.

Li Zhen heard a voice—a voice that seemed to appear directly in his consciousness. The voice was like billions of people whispering, and the next moment it turned into a wail of pain. But as soon as he focused his attention on the voice, it turned into angry and painful cries, desperate and anxious pleadings.

Countless emotions hit his mind in turn, and endless desires rose and fell like a tide. For a moment he felt as if he had fallen into the abyssal purgatory—for only there could he feel such desperate and mournful longing, prayer, pleading, anger!

His mind froze suddenly, and his body stiffened slightly because of this moment's distraction.

At this moment, an even thicker stone cone slammed firmly on his forearm, which had just given birth to scale armor, and the flesh foam and blood splattered in all directions, as if pulled by some force, and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Li Zhen's heart jumped suddenly.

Because just as the flesh and blood were sinking, he suddenly felt an inexplicable force.

The tremendous force tugged at him and he descended rapidly. The sea around me seemed to have turned into air—as thin as it was, just as unimpeded. He also noticed the volcanic rocks in front of him, which had been suspended in the sea. They paused slightly almost at the same moment, just like Li Zhen's body, and suddenly fell!

Gravity!

Gravity is changed!

The egg seems to have just gained a new amount of force and can't wait to use it.

However, Li Zhen's heart was slightly stunned - why was he also rapidly declining when he should have been immune to the influence of this kind of spiritual energy? A second later he thought of the answer. Because there is still a thick sea water more than 100 meters deep above his body. Gravity causes the sea to sink and affect itself through this medium.

He instantly realized that he was about to face an even more formidable enemy—water pressure.

The pressure at a depth of 100 meters is already unbearable for ordinary people, and if the egg changes gravity, it may be crushed in the sea like an iron can. Maybe they won't die, they may still be conscious, but they can only be slaughtered!

He immediately clenched the "knife" in his hand.

The other party didn't know that he had this thing.

Take this opportunity and kill with one blow!

The pressure increases dramatically. He felt the bones creaking all over his body. The blood in his head seemed to be driven by something and gathered on his face. If it weren't for the milky white, translucent eyelids in his eyes, he felt that his eyeballs would shoot violently because of that force!

He let out a low moan from his throat, grabbed the knife with both hands, and stretched his arms forward slightly, waiting for himself to be attracted to the egg. He stabbed the other person into the body.

But the onslaught came abruptly!

Negative emotions that were stronger than just before filled his mind in an instant. Despair and fear filled his mind. Forced him to open his mouth slightly. Let the boiling sea water pour all in.

A deep, mournful sigh – like a mournful eulogy of hundreds of people singing in unison.

Countless fragments slipped through his mind, and a sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.

Give up, give up......

A voice said to him.

Give up futile struggles. All will be destroyed. Whether you fight hard or go with the flow, nothing can affect the apocalypse. Human beings are small and powerless reptiles, and prosperity and beauty are all fleeting illusions.

Struggle does not bring hope, only despair and hurt -

It's better to give up.

Destruction is also a new birth.

The lamentations of countless people slipped through his heart like the wind. Li Zhen's eyes widened blankly, and his fingers moved slightly.

In front of me is a blooming flower.

He was less than thirty meters away from the egg, and the flame at the top of the egg suddenly bloomed. Countless tiny tentacles stretched out, swaying slightly in the seawater, as if welcoming Li Zhen back to his embrace.

The thick red pillar of light vanished. Twelve hexagonal clusters of light were distributed around the egg, with a bright red glow shining in the center, like huge eyes from an unknown and mysterious place.

Li Zhen sighed slightly.

The last bit of gas poured out of his lungs, but the tearing suffocation didn't stop him from spitting out those two words—

"What a beautiful ......"

The eggs are surrounded by huge specks of light, and beneath them are boiling and surging fiery red magma. At the top of it is a flower of light and flame......

It's a beauty that makes people despair and is terrifying.

Li Zhen grinned slightly, opened his arms, and let go of his fingers.

The pale knife hovered in the sea, and the push of the current touched his fingers.

But he opened his eyes wide, stretched his arms, and embraced the flame.

The body depletes the last trace of oxygen, and the heart makes the last beat heavily.

There was a sudden darkness in front of me.

Countless gentle tentacles stretched and pulled his body in.

……

……

However...... It's just a moment.

Dying.

The sense of near-death awakened his vitality, and countless cells that felt threatened came alive in an instant.

The greedy and irascible little ones let out a sharp whine in unison, unleashing a powerful force in anger. The violent voice full of desire to survive swept through his mind like the most violent storm, and the deep despair and sorrow were swept away by them, and the whirlwind of tyranny, greed, and hatred vacated the land of Li Zhen's consciousness. Leaving only the purest blank space.

Blank.

Then they were agitated again.

It's like a group of guards who desperately defend their territory, little misers who will never allow others to touch the wealth they have, hundreds of millions of cells scream, and countless consciousnesses converge into one voice—

Get lost!!!

The voice ran over his mind like thunder, and his already exhausted nerves trembled violently.

Li Zhen opened his eyes suddenly, and shouted a word silently in the boiling steam, in the boiling water, and in the tentacle package of the egg-

"Roll !!"

The tentacles seemed to have received an incomparably strong impact, trembling slightly, and retreating violently.

And Li Zhen fished with his left hand, and the "knife" suspended on the side of his body was held in the palm of his hand. Then he held the knife in both hands, and the arms and wings worked together, supplemented by the terrible gravity that pulled him down hard—

The body that hits the egg!

So the panicked people in Zamboanga suddenly heard an earth-shattering roar.

The sound rolled under the clouds like a shock wave, and the building closest to the dock let out a heavy groan, and then all the glass burst into flying shards. The voice was sharp and piercing, as if the sound of an air raid siren had been amplified thousands of times, like a sharp blade scraping through everyone's mind, and then brazenly burrowing out of the skull.

The sound was accompanied by a column of water hundreds of meters high—as if there was suddenly an endless skyscraper on the shore of Zamboanga, and a huge amount of sea water rose into the sky, and the fire and electric light swirled in the sea. The high temperature caused the sea water to vaporize rapidly, and the billowing white fog spread rapidly, covering almost half of the city.

And at this moment, Bai Xiaodang was standing on the roof of a building. Downstairs was a surging white mist, and she and the few people behind her seemed to be standing on top of a towering cliff, and below them was a sea of billowing clouds.

She gritted her teeth, lifted the binoculars in her hand, and looked into the column of water.

The distance between the two is quite far, and from here, the water column is just a thin white line that almost connects heaven and earth. The electronics were out of order, and the optical telescopes weren't getting what she wanted to see. So Bai Xiaodang waved his hand behind him: "Hawkeye, come and see, show me that water column-"

A man behind him answered, narrowing his eyes slightly.

He carefully observed for more than ten seconds, and suddenly his eyes widened and he exclaimed: "God, what is that?!" ”

Bai Xiaodang grabbed his arm: "What did you see?!" ”

Hawkeye turned his face in a daze, and his lips twitched for a moment: "I see...... You're talking about the kind. ”

Bai Xiaodang frowned: "That thing is so terrible?" ”

The man shook his head violently, as if to dispel some terrible sight in his mind: "No, there is another person, he ...... Eat it! ”

Bai Xiaodang shouted angrily: "You tell me clearly, who is eating whom?!" ”

Hawkeye turned his face to reconfirm, then burst out in an even more violent exclamation, "I read that right, he's eating it...... Oh my God, that guy is eating seeds!! ”

Li Zhen was eating the egg.

In fact, this was not his intention, but because......

The eggs are eating him, too.

The knife did stab in—several meters deep into the body, almost close to the core. But even such a weapon, such an injury, such a determination, could not have caused it to suffer a fatal blow.

The thing let out a sharp howl, and the countless tiny tentacles in its body suddenly poked into Li Zhen's flesh and blood, and the originally blooming "flowers" suddenly shrank from between the cracks in the scales, wrapping him in it!

And then there's the crazy sucking.

The straw-like tentacles were frantically absorbing his body components, and the cells in Li Zhen's body boiled in an instant, reborn at a rapid rate of 200 percent, so as not to turn his master into a dry skeleton.

It was at this moment that Li Zhen realized-

It turns out that this is the true intention of the Gate of Truth. (To be continued.) )
