59. The Wonders of Religion
We lost track of Yegri, and on the vast plains, where the wind and sand had obscured the enemy's footprints and obliterated footprints, where hills and woods formed a treacherous labyrinth, and radio signals interfered so much that it was easy to lose contact with the main forces.
I asked Lamia, "Have you seen my previous heroism?" β
She glanced at me as if asking, "Why are you asking this?" β
I said out loud, "Why? Why are you all indifferent? Shouldn't you rejoice and be fascinated by the heroism of that moment? β
Lamia said, "It's not the first time again, what's all the fuss about?" β
Human nature, human nature is greedy and sinister. Shengmien, fighting Mi Qiu, that's the truth. I saved them once, twice, and if I don't save them later, it's my fault. Humans, humans, hum, I can't see it any more.
The scout rushed and said, "My lord, a facility has been found. β
"What kind of facilities?"
The scout said, "It must have been made by humans, like a research institute for some project." β
It's more like a prison than a research institute, with a high black ember wall to prevent demons from breaking in, and the words "Charon NEBERU-23" written on the outer wall.
Charon again.
There were apparently guards in the facilityβsome robot guards, but they had been wiped out by Yegri, and I felt an abomination surrounding it, the result of a leak of the Pyrofire, and the water in the facility was filthy, with bugs crawling out of it.
I remember the last time I met this kind of prison hidden deep in another dimension, Abel was imprisoned inside, but how is Abel now?
In the deepest part of the prison was a peculiar cage, the ground of the cage was dirt, with a tombstone inserted, which had now been dug up, and must have been made by Yegri.
I said, "It seems that Yegree is not here just to blow up the rift and destroy our city. β
Le Gang asked: "There are computer records here, can you find some clues?" β
I looked at Mirse, the Sword and Shield Society had worked closely with Charon in the last century, and as a Nine Hermit, Mirsey should have access to some of the information.
Mirse tried his fingerprint on a fingerprint device, revealing that he didn't have enough permissions.
Lamia took off the headphones and I said, "The headphones can be used here too?" β
She said, "Give it a try." The screen started jumping, and we logged in.
I'm starting to suspect that Lamia's headphones are specially made and contain a supercomputer.
A quick look at it turned out to be a "spreader of malignant mental illness" in this facility, which is described as a so-called living corpse. An extremely unique living corpse.
Charon cooperated with the government to conduct nuclear tests here, but Charon had another purpose: they found a very old living corpse, possibly one of the ancestral living corpses, and used the fire of the living corpse to create a new batch of living corpses.
I know that the fire of the living corpse can be enhanced by natural energy sources β like thunder and lightning, like nuclear radiation. When the government conducted a nuclear test, Charon buried the living corpses in the ground of the explosion, allowing intense radiation to flow through the living corpses.
There was only one living corpse left, and it was extremely dangerous, and this was the weapon that Charon wanted to get.
However, the living corpse suffered from severe depression and preferred to live in seclusion rather than be used by the Charon Company, which could not convince the living corpse and did not want to destroy him easily, so it complied with the request of the living corpse and buried him here, and through strange technology, he fell into a sleep that he could not wake up from.
I said, "What? Could it be that Yegari came here and took the fire of this living corpse without much effort? β
"That's true," Lamia said. β
We found the body of the living corpse in a sealed room, whose fire had been devoured by Yegri.
Not good, not good, I felt the alarm bells ringing in my headβYeghri had absorbed the Hellfire of the Blood Ghoul Mother and the Nuclear Living Corpse one after another, and perhaps the rest of the Hellfire that I didn't know about, and she was already extremely difficult to deal with, and I don't know how far it would go.
But how did the Hellfire come from so easily to digest and fuse? Yegree may not be able to fight now, and must kill her here before the situation deteriorates further.
Of course, it's possible that she's just sent another clone, another messenger who transports the Hellfire, so we only need to kill this messenger to stop Yegari from getting stronger even more.
I said, "This is the direction, continue to search for Yegree from here....."
Someone outside shouted, "Longi! β
It's a thunder python.
I rushed outside, and the python stood on a balcony, staring at a huge demon as big as a mountain, curled up like a fetus, and like a towering tree.
It was about a kilometer away from us.
I've seen it before, and every rift seems to have a giant demon like this, which seems to be the core of the rift, or the gathering point of the rift's energy, embodied as a demon tree in London.
Yegree is there!
I used the Flower of Souls to recover from all my injuries and was ready to use the Morning Star Blade, I only had two chances, and if I hit both times, Yegari wouldn't even be left with ashes - provided she wasn't much stronger than before.
At this moment, another vision even more terrifying than the giant demon provoked a scream in the crowd, and I saw the huge shadow of a black snake rising thousands of meters, its eyes in the clouds like double moons, and its black lightning swirled around it, leaving a large scorched earth on the earth.
Abel, this black snake is even more terrifying than the last time I saw it, how is his battle with Helsin?
Should I go to Abel's aid, or should I stop Yegri? It seems that Abel's side is more urgent.
Before I could decide, the large army had already set off and rushed to the direction of the giant demon, and I gritted my teeth, only firmly believing that Abel would not lose.
The remaining enemy forces stopped us, and a rain of bullets roared. The Rangers sniped with Excalibur bullets, the Knights of the Sword and Shield Society marched forward, and the Hanuga caused confusion among the enemies, and several hermits and Legang scattered the enemies. I threw flashbangs, causing a large number of casualties.
However, the enemy's mages were not vegetarians, and in an instant, many Sword and Shield Knights were mentally manipulated by the enemy, and in turn attacked their own people, even if some were not manipulated, they were also knocked down by the spirit shock, and then killed by the soldiers of the Era Empire.
The situation was tragic and unusual, and the war lasted for an hour before we broke through the enemy's blockade.
Lamia rushed to me and shouted: "There are only five thousand enemies here!" β
I asked, "What do you mean?" β
Lamia said: "So far, the total number of enemies we have encountered is only 10,000, and the intelligence does not say that the total number of enemies is 20,000? β
I couldn't help but yell, "Bastard! The other 10,000 people she brought with her were not combatants, but sacrifices! β
Lamia said, "Same as last time? β
The most terrifying thing about the Anno Empire is not their ability to manipulate demons, but their cruel and treacherous rituals, which can cause all kinds of unbelievable consequences through massive human sacrifices.
We approach the great demon and meet Yegri, who is dressed like a powerful empress in ancient China, dressed like a powerful empress in ancient China, beautiful in appearance, but tall and bloated, living like a female demon in hell.
All her sacrifices had lost their souls and become black shells, and when Yegree saw us, she laughed and said, "It's too late, Longinus! You're all going to die here! β
I immediately unleashed the Morning Star Blade, and in an instant, she was struck thousands of times by me, and the demon's incomparably hard body twisted into a hemp rope and rooted to the ground like a totem.
Lamia said, "Did it work? β
Suddenly, I noticed that her fire was leaking out wildly, and I hurriedly said, "No, the whole army retreats!" β
As Yegree said, it was too late, and in an instant, ten Yegari rose from the ground, each tall and bloated, full of dark fire, and the soldiers immediately shot at her, but Yegri's body turned black, invisible flames surged outward, and the nearest knight of the Sword and Shield Society turned into charcoal after a few seconds.
It's a trap! Each of them is emitting intense radiation. Her purpose may not be to blow up the rift, at first, she wants to kill us all here! As for detonating the rift, that might be later.
Yegari let out a shrill laugh: "Oh, oh, the mongrels of the Sword and Shield Society, and Longinus, my followers are endless, my life is endless, I can create countless clones of the living corpses of nuclear energy, and send them to your city one after another, until you are all burned to ashes!" Look, watch your loved ones die before your eyes one by one! β
Ignoring the rest, I rushed to Lamia first and sent her far away at supersonic speed. I heard Yegari's maniacal laughter, the cries of decaying human bodies, the crunch of flames, but soon they were far away from me.
Lamia was burned by the radiation, but Monkeypaw gave her luck to save her life, and I gave her the Flower of Souls and said, "Go quickly, go back to the rift exit." β
Lamia hurriedly said: "But the others! They are all exposed to radiation. β
I said, "Now we can only run for our lives, Yeghri is not here at all, I can't stop her, she is gone after making these living corpses, it must be so." β
Bidding farewell to Lamia, I hurried back to the scene to find the soldiers lying on their stomachs vomiting blood, their skin rotting, and even the armor of the Sword and Shield Society could not protect against the intense radiation. I didn't see Legang and the hermits, they had a way to save their lives, but nearly 10,000 soldiers couldn't lose the strength to move.
I can't save them, I can only watch them die here.
Even if I destroy those nuclear clones, it will still have no effect, and it may cause a nuclear explosion, and Yegeri's laughter will become more and more frenzied and proud.
At this time, I saw a man shrouded in blood.
A terrifying mystical with black hair and a black beard fluttering in the wind.
A homeless man who seems to have been wandering for a long time.
A strangely familiar but strangely strange loner.
I recognized him, and I had met this legendary god in the last Second Blood City.
Abel and Seth's brother, the third human, the ancestor of the Bloodline, Cain, walked past me.
Where did he come from? Why is it here? Could it be that our religion has manifested itself at this very moment?
Cain waved his hand, and blood flowed out of his body, covering every human being tortured by radiation, and in an instant, the earth was flooded with blood.
