XLV. Escape from the Apocalypse
I was so anxious that I grabbed the face in the monitor and forced him to finish. Longinus began to chant the incantation clearly, and the incantation seemed to awaken the fish bones in meβthousands of fish bones, cramming in my wrists, bones, stomach, and heart.
I let out a groan of pain, like a long-suffering patient, and my fingers melted, and black blood flowed out of them and fell to the ground as a shadow.
Longinus said, "My footprints have drawn you in and made you unconsciously follow me, and if you're lucky, you'll have already met the fish tank I left behind." β
I asked bitterly: "Fish tank.... What exactly? β
Longinus said, "There is an ancestor of the Blood, named Larsen, with whom I, you, had a decisive battle, and I killed him and accidentally sucked his blood, which had the poison of the Shadow, and I had to be treated to get rid of it. β
It dawned on me that he understood me, that he was just pretending.
Longinus said, "Larsenus is the ancestor of the Shadowbloods, and he is undoubtedly very evil and cruel. But his power can contain the Sun King, and now that I have awakened the blood of the Shadows within you, you can move freely in the Shadows. β
When I opened my eyes, I could see the world in a very different way. There are superimposed shadows above all things, and they are not just their shadows, but their mirror images in another world.
I can see the entrance to another dimension.
I scrambled to find a blurry door, and at this moment, the whole building seemed to be shaking, the walls were shattering, the cabinets were collapsing, and Longinus on the screen smiled, "Goodbye, future me." β
I entered the door, and in an instant I fell into the tide of shadows, but I could swim in it, and as fast as a fish in the water, I soon found another door, and when it was opened, I saw Lamia and them.
They were also taken aback when they saw me, and Lamia asked, "Longi, you are missing again!" β
Solace asked, "What's going on with this earthquake?" β
Le Gang asked, "What about the goddess statue?" β
I looked up, pointed to the top of the floor, and shouted, "You have to run away!" β
The top of the layer cracked, and the hands, heads, teeth, and hair of the people were like newborn babies, and countless newborn babies oozed from the blood. And as they appeared, the stench came to the nostrils, and blood poured down.
I shepherded the sheep, and the blade activated my shadow, a black barrier stretched above them, the blood turning as if sentient, and the awakened sun worshippers on the rooftops screamed in pity.
They cried out, "Why reject us?" Why not worship the new gods? The sun opens the door of splendor for us all to soar..."
Le Gang's claws became unusually large, and with a wave of his claws, the bodies at the top of the layer fell to pieces, but a second later, they were full again, and continued their maddening hip-hop.
Legang shouted: "Let's go!" β
With the loud sound of ping-pong, the walls cracked, and the Sun Believers were in front of us, and we only rushed forward, the black barrier crushing them into a pulp, and this time they didn't get up again.
Lamia said, "It worked for them!" β
I said, "This is the power of the Shadow Blood. β
At this moment, this floor has become a slaughterhouse, a torture hell, with resurrected ancients in every corner, from the walls, from the ground, from the overheads, from the pools and columns, and even from behind the curtains, bloody human heads and human hands are constantly sticking out.
I didn't think Tony would make it so quickly, but I was wrong, maybe the building was constantly being exposed to the sun, making the sunworshippers sleep very lightly, and he just had to find a way to wake them up, and he did.
I drank the blood of the serpent, and I cut my wrists, and sprinkled the blood on each of their heads, which would have poisoned them, at least Lamia, but now I know that it will not, and my blood will turn into a shadow, which will shield them from the sun and protect them from the Sun King.
Lamia hurriedly said: "You have lost a lot of blood, you will die!" β
I said, "No, run!" β
Le Gang rushed to the window and said, "I'll take you down!" β
The Waste Bell said, "There will be flying demons attacking us!" β
Legang said, "It's better than these monsters...."
Before he could finish speaking, a large face appeared in the window, obscuring all the scenery, and that face was made up of countless people, forming the appearance of Tony.
Tony shouted, "Witness this great miracle!" Make the king many, and the man king! β
He opened his mouth, and his tongue of hundreds of corpses smashed through the wall and reached out to us, and he met my shadow, and his tongue disintegrated, and Tony screamed in pain, and thousands of people screamed with him.
I saw that the shadow had faded a lot, and I immediately cast my mind again, which made my heart beat faster and seemed to be broken, and I shouted, "When they get to the bottom of the twentieth floor, they can't seem to get to the lower level!" β
We ran down as we swooped, and along the way the Sun's followers kept coming, some fearing me, some not, screaming in frenzy, striking the barrier, suffering heavy blows, and weakening the barrier. Legang roared, his claws grappling at the enemies who stood in his way.
In an instant, the entire corridor turned blood-red and became a large palm, and we were pinched in it. The palm of the hand was instantly corroded by the shadows, and we fell downward. Soles's hair stretched out, and the Waste Clock's arms were like ropes, and they worked together to stop the fall.
The barrier broke, black blood flowed from my lips, and my eyeballs seemed to be overwhelmed by high blood pressure, and I couldn't see anything but darkness. Lamia hugged me and said in a trembling voice, "Rest, we can kill you!" β
I said, "Never.... Stained with blood, a little... No way. β
A cloud of blood fell from the sky and covered the waste clock, and I was horrified, pounced on it, and dragged the waste clock out. The waste bell was covered in blood, but it was not melted, he spat out the dirty blood in his mouth, and shouted, "Thank you! β
It seems that the living corpse can withstand the fusion of the Sun King, maybe Soles and Legang can, and the only danger is me and Lamia.
Tony's voiceβthe voice of ten thousand peopleβechoed in all directions: "Ah, indigestible things, but the Sun King is omnipotent, after merging with the Sun King, you will understand, you will gradually accept, maybe the process of fusion will take a year, but we are patient, we will help you, stay with us, accept our love."
Lamia smiled bitterly: "What a disgusting confession. β
Legang grabbed us and continued to jump down, and at this time, a new vitality flooded me, and I had already lost too much blood, but now I was full of energy.
This is Vasilisa's reward for me back then, and it is the demon blood of this ancient blood clan that continues to make blood in my body.
Once again, I spilled the blood of the Shadows, enveloping everyone, and Lamia rejoiced, "How are you? β
I said, "Honey, you hold me, of course I'm getting better." β
She gave me a gentle kiss on the lips, and I was almost healed again.
We should have reached the fifteenth layer or so, but when I saw those demons rushing towards us, I quickly realized that they were not hostile, they were fleeing for their lives, and the blood of the Sun King was raining down like a torrent, and even the demonic alien space could not stop them. I saw a red demon swept up in blood, it fell to the ground, its skin festering, it got up a second time, it got up a third time, and finally sank completely.
Legang hit the ground with both fists, the floor collapsed, and we landed on the lower floor, and Legang punched and clawed again, causing us to fall one after another. Suddenly, a large blood-red mouth appeared beneath us, waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net. The Dead Bell threw out its long arm and grabbed a pipe, and we swung down the hallway, dodging the trap.
A man appeared in the hallway, and my mind flew blank.
He's Auchid! How could he be here?
"My child, all the Sun Kings in the world are one, and when the Sun Kings of all the world awaken, we can appear all over the world," said Ochid. We are all Sun Kings, and the Sun Kings are us. The blackfish you released didn't kill me, unfortunately, right? I don't blame you, I still long to be reunited with you. β
I gritted my teeth and slashed out the blade, and Ochid sealed it with an iron lotus, he was Ochid in his heyday, and his martial arts were better than Milse, and he praised, "Where did you learn how to make fizzi and shepherd sheep?" Have you met Master Helsing? β
Le Steel could have helped, but now that the sun had risen, he was drowsy and unable to move. I dealt with Ochid, and even with the help of Waste Bell and Soles, I couldn't win for a while. In an instant, Lamia shot continuously, and the Excalibur shot exploded in Ochid's head, and Ochid cried out, "She reminds me of Daria, where is Daria?" "I struck out of the shadows, and Ochid fled.
Lamia is still on the 10th floor, only 10 floors, about 50 meters away, but it is so far away.
Lamia suddenly remembered something and said, "On the fortieth floor, you pierced through the wall and did not know where to go, can you do it again?" β
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind and I shouted, "Maybe you can try!" Stay close to me! "I slit both hands and wrists, and blood sprayed and drenched each of them. My blood spread like a moving jellyfish, spreading and covering them all, and it almost made me faint. We hugged each other, and I led them into a nearby shadow door.
We seemed to fall into a narrow river, and I knew it was the shadow of the building, the ordinary shadow, through which we could enter the fragments of some other dimension.
After a long drift, we fell into a basement with the sound of rushing water, and I saw a truck, about two and a half meters high and more than six meters long, with a shape and color very similar to Yune.
Lamia shouted, "Remember how you turned on Yune?" β
I said, "It won't be as complicated as Yune!" β
We frantically pressed the buttons, the power was restored to this level, and I shouted, "Lack! Lacking! β
Our little angel said, "I hear, now open the gates and the doors." β
The gate was going up insanely slow, I jumped into the cockpit, Lamia covered the steel with a veil, I tried to start, and the truck sped out with a thud.
Lamia shouted, "Do you know how to drive?" β
I said, "I'm an old driver, why can't I drive?" β
Lamia was a little skeptical and said, "Really? β
But I've never driven a car in my life, it's true. A large rock on the ground was bumpy, and the car shook violently, almost overturning. Luckily, I got the hang of it very quickly.
We looked back at the Panamericana Pyramid, where the bodies of the Sun Kings covered the edifice like blood-colored mold, and their songs drowned out the roar of trucks and reached our ears.
Those at the bottom of the pyramid will undoubtedly become part of the Sun King.
What will be their fate if we don't come?
I had to force myself not to think about it.
