Chapter 60: Advent

"The only Seraph angel in the Bible, the shining morning star, who fell into hell, Lucifer."

"That's why the last word of Lieutenant Watanabe is—'Lord.'" Ueno Kanyanagi let out a slight sigh, "In Japanese, the pronunciation of this word is similar to 'waste'. ”

And Li Zhen suddenly wanted to laugh now-

I really want to laugh out loud.

What kind of world is this?

The legendary thing has become a species. Or is it ...... What things actually existed in the first place—as a species?

"Even if what you're saying is true...... It's true......" Lee said in a distraught manner, "but something is wrong! The second possible location that was originally speculated was Mexico - it was Quetzalcoatl, how could it be in Japan? Ha Lu Ha ...... Lucifer was banished to Japan?! Is it Quetzalcoatl!? ”

Kitagawa turned his head and looked at him meaningfully: "Haven't you read the information of the Mayan Quetzalcoatl?" In the legend, it was originally the god in charge of the stars, the image of a burning serpent - Lucifer was also an angel in charge of the stars in legend, and the word 'Seraph' originally meant 'burning serpent'! ”

Li Zhen took a step back slightly. Then he laughed weakly: "So that's what you mean...... We've been in the air all this time. For the sake of a juvenile species, and to this one—" he pointed to the cloud of fire in the night sky, "whether it's Lucifer, or Seraph, Quetzalcoatl, or his Satan—we're going to let it awaken?" And now the three of us are here to discuss its origins - just watching? ”

Kitagawa shook his head: "Let's watch." It is being weakened. Haven't you noticed...... Did it come out of nowhere? For me, it's hiding in Mexico. As for the current one......"

"If the so-called myths and legends are indeed the records of the species. Then I can understand that it is 'coming'. Kitagawa stared at the "Lucifer" in the barrage and the eggs that were also blessed by it and slowly rose, "There was once this kind of psychic energy - a person could project himself into another dimension. So far, almost all of the psionic energy exhibited by the species can correspond to humans one by one, so this one...... Maybe it's something like that. ”

Beichuan's words somewhat reassured Li Zhen's heart. He calmed down for a moment, looked at the egg, and then said, "So that thing is the so-called 'Lord' of the Gate of Truth?" ”

"Yes, or no." Kitagawa shook his head slightly, "Since the people from the Gate of Truth haven't appeared until now...... Maybe it's not that important. ”

They only spoke for two minutes. For just two minutes, "Lucifer" and the egg have not changed. The three pairs of light flames nearly 100 meters long spread their wings and resisted the ground fire of humans, and the light between them became more and more brilliant. It was as if a solemn and sacred ceremony was taking place. The clouds of fire are still surging. The snake-like body of "Lucifer" loomed in the middle of it, and even with a keen vision like Li Zhen, it was impossible to see its face clearly—only that it was an invisible body composed of light and flame.

Just as its shield was about to shrink to its side, a whistling roar was heard in the night sky.

A faint point of light quickly approached from a great distance, reflected in the light emitted by "Lucifer".

That's six "Kazego-22" fighters.

Bright lines of fire shot out of the fuselage. The missile dragged a long trajectory and hit the egg beneath Lucifer with precision. At the same time as the fire broke out, the fighter had already climbed steeply. Almost grazing the wings of "Lucifer". The moment the missile exploded, the transparent shield shone wildly. Hexagonal flares of light emerge one after another at the point of the explosion, repelling heat and impact.

However, with this explosion in the night sky, the shield around Lucifer's body dimmed again. The anti-aircraft artillery that had deliberately avoided the fighters had previously poured fire frantically. Finally, for the first time, he broke through the invisible barrier and hit the very body of "Lucifer".

However......

Shells shoot straight through!

Li Zhen subconsciously sighed - that thing turned out to be really a "projection"!

But the shells that passed through the body were not completely useless. It was as if the mass of smoke that had gathered in the air had been dispersed by a cannonball—the image of the three pairs of wings suddenly became distorted. Although the shield around the projection body once again withstood the bombardment of the cannonballs in the next moment, the speed at which the egg rose had dropped to an extremely low level - it was literally moving towards the cannonball little by little.

The light connecting the two began to flicker, and the six Wind Queen-22 swooped in again.

This time, they're targeting eggs.

The missile was fired at the same time as the cannon, and the tracer bullet was pulled in the air with a long trail. Once again, the egg ejected its tiny gauntlet of flames, trying to fend off the incoming damage, but the massive kinetic energy tore through the shield that was already at the end of the crossbow, tearing the tentacles apart.

The canopy's blood spilled from the sky—if that mist that shone like a flame was the blood of an egg.

The damage inflicted on the egg seems to infuriate "Lucifer". Just as the plane was about to fly out of the airspace again, the flames in the fire cloud turned into long spears of light, followed by four of them, and the tail chased after them.

The fighter pilot immediately made a few maneuvers to evade, but the light clenched like a homing missile, and got closer and closer.

As a result, the four planes in turn burst into a cone-shaped fog in the night sky and accelerated to supersonic speed.

The time to break through the sound barrier is extremely short - the Fenghou-22 was originally a fourth-generation aircraft with excellent performance.

But the acceleration of the light spear ......

Faster.

When the four heavy flames exploded, the cone-shaped clouds created when the sound barrier was broken had not yet dissipated.

The remaining two planes pulled straight up like frightened rabbits, bursting the sound cone and quickly disappearing into the night sky.

Anti-aircraft fire followed, but Lucifer's shield had become even darker, and even the egg had stopped in mid-air, seemingly unable to continue rising.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was a "Skywalker-112" land-attacking cruise missile. And that thing was not originally intended to hit air targets. But the "Lucifer" stayed at high altitude for so long that the nearest missile launch base had enough time to pinpoint it. And make a plan.

It roared with a long tail flame, and the rocket engine made the last adjustment before making contact, and then crashed headfirst into the barely visible "Lucifer" shield. The explosion produced a cloud of fire that covered half of the sky, and the wings of light of "Lucifer" were eclipsed. The shield is supported until the last moment, and finally disappears. The heat and flames engulfed the serpentine body in the fire cloud, and the glorious spirit was violently dispersed like smoke, turning into dense spots of light.

When the thunderous explosion rolled across the sky, Kitagawa Qingming's body just took off.

The "eggs" are falling. Even if it popped its tentacles again as if it was trying to grab something, it couldn't slow down the downward trend.

Flames flew in the air, and shrapnel flew everywhere. But Kitagawa Qingmei shot straight into the sky like a sharp arrow off the string. It passed directly through the falling heavy firelight, leaving only a fleeting opening.

The firing point spotted the figure.

Then they opened fire without hesitation. At such a time, no one wanted to see the egg fall back into the lava, and it seemed that they would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than misplace one, and poured the remaining ammunition into it.

The slender figure passed back and forth dangerously in the light of anti-aircraft fire. He was forced to turn back several times. But it continues to move forward.

Li Zhen frowned slightly: "You shouldn't have been exposed yet." You can try to get them to cease fire. ”

But Ueno Kanliu only glanced at him lightly and said softly, "What about you?" Aren't you going to fly up there to help? ”

Li Zhen turned around and looked at him seriously: "You are very strange. During this time, you are very strange. ”

Ueno Kanyanagi narrowed his eyes slightly: "You can't fly?" There was a glint in his eyes that didn't mean it. The faces were illuminated by the light of the ammunition.

Li Zhen took two steps back and looked at him: "What do you mean?" ”

Ueno Kanliu smiled slightly, lowered his head and stroked the hilt of the sword at his waist, and walked away two steps sideways. Then he looked up and whispered as he paced in place, "You're late." ”

"If you arrive ten days early, it's the time of the cherry blossoms. There are cherry blossom trees planted in the courtyard of the inspection hall, and the petals that fall at that time look like snow. However, it was not enough for days and nights. When I was walking alone in the bushes, I would think—"

He turned his face and stopped: "In such a flower, a duel with a strong man...... What a romantic scene it would be for the loser to kneel under the flower tree with a smile on his face. ”

"I have long admired your great name. You also know that in Shennongjia, you killed three Apocalypse Knights - or you killed three Apocalypse Knights with Chi You. It's an amazing combat power. I, who is also known as the star of tomorrow in the inspection hall, is very interested in knowing which of you and I is the stronger. Fortunately, although this place is not splendid, it is ......"

He reached out his left hand and flicked a branch in front of him. As a result, the volcanic ash fell in a staggering manner.

"But there's something else going on. The so-called lonely as snow - these ashes are not like snow? ”

Li Zhen took a slight breath of the sultry air with a faint smell of sulfur, and grinned: "You want to fight me?" Right here? ”

"It's a life-and-death battle." Ueno Kanyanagi stood still and nodded slightly.

"Why?" Li Zhen was slightly distracted and glanced into the distance. The magma lake, which had been frozen by ultra-low temperatures not long ago, has completely cracked open, and lava has once again filled the lake. Half-melted rocks float on top of it, like black islands one after another.

Kitagawa seems to be trapped in the air by the line of fire - she fails to catch the fallen egg. The thing now landed on a rock, its bounced tentacles swaying weakly and lightly, as if intending to return to the lava.

Kitagawa was trying to dive down, but the heavy artillery fire forced her to rise, and the distance between her and the egg was getting bigger and bigger.

Intensive anti-aircraft fire was used to hit people...... This is the first time in human history, right?

"Why?" Ueno Kanyanagi chuckled softly, "A lot." Competitiveness, revenge, and extinguishing risks, the choice is yours. Personally, however, competition is more appetizing. ”

Li Zhen pondered his words carefully, and suddenly raised his head: "Beichuan Qingming wants you to do this?" ”

"You blame her." Ueno Kanyanagi smiled and looked at the figure in the air in the distance, "What she wants is to save this world. However, sadly, she is not Sun Muran. ”

"I'm not in the mood to talk to you about all this here, and don't mention any cherry blossom loneliness to me, that thing makes my stomach very uncomfortable." Li Zhen frowned and curled his fingers, "Who are you?" Or do you have a disagreement with her philosophy - you don't want to destroy that species? ”

Ueno Kanliu laughed loudly and pointed at Kitagawa Harumi in the air: "Divergence? No, there has never been a disagreement – how can there be a disagreement between completely opposing ideas? As for destruction? Ridiculous......"

He suddenly retracted his smile and looked at Li Zhen coldly: "Haven't you realized it yet?" No matter what means you foolish human beings use and how much effort you spend. The awakening of the Holy Spirit is an irreversible trend. What you humans are doing......"

"Lord, I don't care."

Li Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up, and his fists clenched fiercely. He took a deep breath of dull air, and his gaze locked on Ueno Kanyanagi's body: "Are you, the person from the Gate of Truth?!" ”

Ueno Guanliu smiled and leaned over slightly: "The Gate of Truth, the Walking Saint, Ueno Guanliu, please advise." ”

"I already know what you're capable of. Then in the next battle, for the sake of fairness, I'll tell you first-"

"The trick I'm going to use, it's called ......"

"Robe!"

His right arm, which had already been placed on the left side of his body, moved slightly, and a streamer of light whistled like a practice. The air let out a sharp explosion from the slash, and the blade of the sword slanted to Li Zhen's left arm with the air.

And Li Zhen only had one impression in his mind.

Fast.

Too fast!

The sword qi stirred up a large cloud of dust and mist, and Li Zhen entered a high-speed state in an instant, and his body leaned to the right in a hundredth of a second—there was a sharp whistling sound in his ears, and the blade scraped against his shoulder, and a whole piece of cloth flew up diagonally.

But Ueno Kanliu let out a second low shout, and the sword light suddenly froze. The arm turned into an afterimage due to the high-speed action, and the blade on the top turned into a cut, slightly offset along the way it came, and slashed at Li Zhen's left shoulder again.

The air is blowing and the dust is flying. Li Zhen did not advance but retreated, and threw himself into the arms of Lu Shangye Guanliu.

However, the other party's body seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, and before he could get close, he flew back three steps away, and the sword trend did not decrease, hitting Li Zhen's back.

Soaring blood splattered.

A huge scar that was deep and visible was across the entire back, and Li Zhen let out a painful cry and took three steps to the left with the remaining strength of the forward pounce, and the surprise in his heart was beyond words.

This is...... What's going on?

The knife in his hand can cut through his scale armor without any hindrance?! (To be continued.) )
