Volume 1 The Awakened Light Chapter 17 You Belong to You
"Hmph, it's just an appetizer, the real hell is still to come, you can wait for me."
The young man on the tall building in the distance smiled contemptuously, put away the black short stick, turned around and walked downstairs as if nothing had happened, muttering to himself.
"It's just that I have recovered such a little power, and there is no value worth absorbing at all, it seems that it is better to follow what he said, first enhance the power of light through battle."
On a building, a ray of light fell from the sky and fell on the roof of the building, condensing Duan Zilian's figure.
"Ho...... Ho...... Ho ......" Noah controlled Duan Zilian's body, panting, his face was dripping with dense sweat, and he looked extremely tired.
Feeling the burning pain in his chest and left shoulder, Noah immediately raised his right hand, and in the silver light, a strangely shaped silver pistol appeared in his hand.
Then, Noah raised his right arm, pointed the silver pistol at the sky, and sent out a beam of light, which flew to a height of several hundred meters, and suddenly exploded like fireworks.
Then, out of the void, a flying object flew out, which seemed to be made of stone, with a pair of small wings, about two meters or so.
The Stone Wings levitated above Noah, emitting a blue light, and in this light, Noah turned into a ray of light and merged into the Stone Wings.
In an instant, the Stone Wings shone brightly, and the blue light quickly covered the entire fuselage, and under the rendering of the light, the appearance of the Stone Wings quickly changed from a stone-like color to a silver-white color, and the flame-like red lines were depicted on it.
Then, the Stone Wing changed direction, and with a flash of light, it quickly rushed into the sky, leaving only a burst of breaking sound when the speed exceeded the sound barrier, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the void.
In the stone wings, there is an endless galaxy, neither dim nor bright, and Duan Zilian is suspended in this galaxy, looking as if he is asleep, wrapped in a thin layer of light, the light is quickly healing the wounds on his body.
β¦β¦
At the same time, in the boundless sea of golden light, Duan Zilian looked at Noah who appeared in front of him with complicated eyes.
"I'm sorry to hurt your body." As soon as he appeared, Noah immediately apologized to Duan Zilian.
"Why...... Why me? Duan Zilian didn't care about this kind of thing, but slowly clenched her fists.
By now, Duan Zilian has completely believed what Noah said, the earth is in an unprecedented crisis, powerful enemies will appear one after another, and an alien life form from the universe will use its own body to fight those enemies.
This kind of thing, Duan Zilian has only seen it in movies and novels before, but he never imagined that this kind of thing that only exists in fantasy would befall him.
If it was when he was a child, Duan Zilian would be very happy and would be so excited that he couldn't sleep, after all, he could become a hero in this way.
However, as he grew older, after Duan Zilian clearly realized that heroes are not so easy to be, he has lost that naΓ―ve idea, he doesn't want to take on the heavy responsibility of saving the world at all, he doesn't want to be a hero, he just wants to be an ordinary person with peace of mind.
What's more, Duan Zilian felt that her life was hard enough, and she really didn't have the energy to do anything to save the world.
"I know you don't want to take on this responsibility, and I don't want to force you, but I don't have a choice." Noah knew very well what Duan Zilian was thinking, and sighed.
Duan Zi looked at Noah incredulously: "What is no choice, there are so many people on the earth, you can choose any one better than me, why me?" β
Noah shook his head: "Because in this earth except for you, it can be said that the synchronization rate of light by everyone on this earth is basically zero, that is, no one can carry my power except you." β
"Synchronization rate?" Duan Zipian couldn't help but wonder about this.
Noah immediately explained: "This explanation is more complicated...... Let's put it this way, if my light were to be compared to a piece of clothing, then only people of similar body shape would wear it. The level of synchronization rate can show whether a person is more suitable to carry the power of light. The higher the synchronization rate, the more the power of light can be brought out. β
"But I don't know what's going on, maybe it's because this universe is relatively remote, there is no light coming, it's a little special, so on this earth, people's synchronization rate of light is basically zero, and no one can carry my power."
"Then why am I the exception, why can I carry your power?" Duan Zilian hurriedly asked questions, and couldn't help but get excited.
"As you remember, seven years ago, I had a brief fight with Dark Zaki, but I almost ran out of strength and had to enter your body and fall into a deep sleep. Over the years, my light has imperceptibly influenced you, changed your physique, and increased your synchronization with light. Noah looked at Duan Zilian, and his tone was a little helpless.
"That's ...... so"
Duan Zipian was a little desperate in his heart, and then suddenly reacted: "Since you can use your light to increase the synchronization rate of one person, then you go and increase the synchronization rate of others." β
"No, ......," Noah shook his head regretfully.
"If you want to improve a person's synchronization rate, it's not an overnight thing, it's a very slow process. In the past seven years, under my influence, your synchronization rate of light is only about 20 percent, and it can basically increase by 2 percent a year. However, Zaki has now awakened and found the puppet, and time is of the essence, and I can't afford to spend a lot of time trying to improve people's synchronization of light, time does not allow it. β
"In other words, this kind of thing really belongs to me?" Duan Zilian lowered his head and slowly clenched his fists again.
"Yes, you have to be, and I have no choice." Noah let out a long sigh.
"All this may be the choice of fate, and it may be your responsibility and mission to protect this world that is facing a crisis."
"Mission ......" Duan Zi smiled pitifully and self-deprecatingly.
"I'm just an ordinary person, why do you have to make me this hero? Why me? β
Noah looked at Duan Zilian seriously, felt the resistance in Duan Zilian's heart, sighed, turned his head, and suddenly a picture appeared in the boundless sea of light.
Duan Zilian subconsciously turned his head to look and found that in the picture, there was a dilapidated ruin, the flames were burning, and countless people were buried under the ruins, and there were no dead bodies.
And on these ruins, there are bursts of extremely sad cries, men, women and children, one by one people who have lost their loved ones are crying hoarsely, desperately picking up the ruins, trying to rescue their relatives buried in the ruins, while some people are holding their dead relatives and crying bitterly......
Seeing this scene, I don't know why, Duan Zilian could feel the despair and pain of those people, as if he was in the scene, one of them, so much so that he felt that his heart was grabbed, his fists clenched tightly, and he lowered his head silently.
"I don't want to force you, but now only you can save the world. I know you have your own struggles and don't want to take on this one responsibility. However, neither you nor I have a choice. The xenobiotic factor has basically spread across the world, and if nothing is left unattended, soon the entire earth will be surrounded by xenobiotic beasts, and such a picture will continue to repeat, and this world will eventually be destroyed. β
"Now, tell me, can you bear to see those innocent people suffer like this?! Can you bear to see those children all ruined and lose their loved ones?! Can you bear to see the people you care about leave you one after another?! Tell me, can you bear it!? β
Noah pointed to the painful pictures vigorously, looked at Duan Zilian seriously, and his tone was serious, and even his emotions became excited.
"Enough! Stop it! Under Noah's series of questions, Duan Zilian finally made up her mind, looked up at the desperate and painful looks of the people in the picture, and showed a resolute expression on her face.
"I see...... I do! That's always okay, right!? β
Noah took a deep breath to calm his excitement: "I'm sorry...... I don't want to push you like that, but I really don't have a choice. β
"It's okay......" Duan Zilian shook his head, after making a decision, he felt a lot more relaxed, and seemed to see a lot.
"So, what do I do? In the future, will it be like this time, I will lend you my body, and you will control my body to fight? β
Noah shook his head: "No, this time is just an exception, wait a minute, I will hand over my power to you, and from now on, the battle will be carried out by yourself." β
"Huh?" Duan Zi's eyes widened involuntarily, but before he could say anything, Noah continued.
"I know what you want to ask, don't worry, listen to me first. There's a reason I'm giving you my power and letting you fight on your own. After I give you the power, I will fall back into a slumber so that I can better regain my strength. β
"Other than that, although I have given my power to you, I still have a connection with me. Through fighting, you can quickly increase the synchronization rate of light, and at the same time, you can also enhance the power of light, especially if you can burst out of your inner light, you can greatly strengthen the light, which can help me speed up the process of recovering strength, similar to feeding. β
"......" Duan Zi looked at Noah silently.
"My words sound like I'm suspicious of taking advantage of you, but I don't mean that......" Worried that Duan Zilian would misunderstand, Noah hurriedly explained.
"It's okay, I've already made a decision anyway, no matter what, I don't mind." Duan Zilian shook his head and smiled bitterly.
But really don't mind?
Duan Zi asked himself pitifully, maybe even he didn't know the answer to this question......
