Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hunter and the Prey

The wind stopped flowing, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

It seemed that the whole world had lost its voice and became quiet.

Obviously, the panic had spread rapidly throughout the city, spreading ten to hundred, but no one yelled and no one spoke.

It seems that everyone is in danger, and they are worried that if they make a noise, they will attract the attention of some terrifying creature in the great vortex of heaven that looks like the entrance to hell.

- The so-called repression is nothing more than this.

It's so abnormal, it's so weird, it's so incomprehensible...... That's why the people of the city feel as if they were being weighed down by a heavy boulder in their chests.

It seemed as if it had become so difficult to even catch their breath that they had to do it with all their strength, and it made them feel like they were going to suffocate.

After all, there is no way for people to understand what is going on, let alone what will happen next.

Waiting is the most painful thing to do.

The unknown is also the most frightening.

And that's it now, even a bundled value version of two things -

There are people who want to wait for what happens next, and there are people who want to know the truth behind this phenomenon...... Two tormenting things coincide with each other, and these two torments bring them more torment......

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Silence, silence, dead silence, oppression......

Although the streets were crowded with people, as if the whole city had run out of the house to the outside, their movements were uniform, and their behavior was strikingly the sameβ€”

That is, he pursed his lips tightly, raised his head to look at the sky, felt the huge sense of oppression condensed by the darkening sky, and stared at the terrible dark vortex in the center of the dark clouds.

They opened their eyes to the fullest, trying with all their might to catch the faint outline of the lightning that flashed between the gaps in the clouds, and imagined many terrible images through their minds.

People subconsciously believe that something vast and quietly spreading is sneaking through the thunderclouds.

I feel scared and can't suppress my curiosity......

Fearful and inquisitive......

I feel uneasy and eager to see the truth behind it......

This is human beings, complex and contradictory creatures, like polyhedra that refract light, and never have a real face to speak of.

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't see anything special in the dense clouds, and if someone really saw it, it was probably because his own brain was overfilling and hallucinating.

In fact, the problem is very simple, that is, they have seen it, but they don't know that they have seen it.

Because it is the existence of the nature of nature itself, the "phenomenon" itself, and the dark clouds, thunder, and winds that precede them, are all part of the scale of existence of the same thing.

It's just that people don't know and can't understand such concepts.

What they want to see is what they want to see, something tangible, qualitative, and tangible, like a monster with a separate form, or a giant with a thunderbolt...... That's probably what I imagined.

All in all, in their imaginations, if there is anything terrible, it must be a supernatural "individual", not the existence of a grand natural "phenomenon" itself.

So, they have seen it, but they have seen nothing.

The unusual weather also alerted Italy, and after confirming and verifying what was happening here in Milan, urgent orders were quickly issued.

The guesses of the personnel of the special intelligence agencies stationed in the local area were not wrong, and even the superiors, after quickly completing a series of processes by asking experts and comparing data, believed that what was happening was abnormal.

There is a high probability that unscientific mysteries will be involved...... As for the existence of "mystery", it has long been confirmed.

Now that the distribution of the spoils on the Japanese side is basically over, and the matter is over for the time being, the Italian officials are worried that they have not seized the opportunity and have not obtained something of value, which may well be the key to pushing the door of the mysterious power open.

So they are now very serious, and they are bursting with 120,000 enthusiasm and motivation to seize all these opportunities.

Not only did they quickly mobilize manpower and material resources, but they also gave the green light all the way and opened up all kinds of authority to a special department that had only been established in the last six months, and was also prepared to withstand international pressure.

That's right, this is the era of globalization, and to put it bluntly, even if the leader of a certain country farts in public, it may appear directly on the hot news on the Internet half an hour later.

And now, Milan, an international metropolis, is caught in such a strange phenomenon, how can it be possible to block the news...... Not to mention Italy, the United States can't do anything like that.

They can't stop the countless people in the city from sending messages to the outside, let alone the footage of the satellites in the sky......

And those countries are not vegetarians, and once they find out that the situation here is abnormal, then they will make the same judgment, and then they will inevitably exert pressure to share this opportunity.

Although Italy does not have the confidence to fully withstand those pressures, nor does it intend to bite the bullet and adopt an outright opposite, it can be done just by delaying time.

Even if it has to be like opening up Mt. Fuji with Japan, they must at least seize the opportunity first and search it first!

As for whether they can grasp this opportunity, it depends on the ability of those elite talents.

Of course, it also depends on whether this incident is beyond their capabilities...... It's just that compared to the great horror of space-time standing that broke out in Japan, this kind of natural disasters such as storms and thunders that are quite understandable can be considered mild, right?

Emmmmm, the more you think about it, the less confident you become?

Therefore, "mystery" is really not scientific at all, but it shows its horror.

It is impossible for any country to miss such an opportunity, whether it is the feasibility of energy weapons, the development prospects of meteorological technology, or the force field theory that can freeze space, all of which have appeared in the list of hidden projects of various countries during this time.

Just wait for the opportunity to seize the opportunity to analyze the key to the mysterious power to achieve those effects, and then copy it.

Although this seems to be too good, at least until the power of the mysterious side is directly recognized, the high-level leaders of various countries are still confident...... It's just that the executive has little confidence.

Because they don't just talk about it, they can just make decisions.

Only when they charge on the front line can they more intuitively feel the great power that transcends the realm of people.

Man and the Word of God can never commune.

……

……

When the wind suddenly subsided, a villa in Milan welcomed a new visitor.

It was a beautiful young man with shoulder-length black hair and a slender face, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate everything, penetrate the surface of things, and gaze at the reality of the world.

He casually entered the garden, his eyes constantly looking around, and then he nodded incessantly, showing a very interested smile.

"It's so interesting, it's really interesting......"

He didn't look tall, he wasn't very thin, his dark hair reached his shoulders, his skin was ivory, his upright five houses had a somewhat neutral feel, and there were no muscle lines on his arms.

But what should be said? There is no feeling of weakness, but an incomparably powerful sense of existence.

The sense of power that emanates from the slender body, the divine temperament that resides in the handsomeness...... Even that face, after looking at it for a long time, makes people feel that it is not a human face.

It's just a face-to-face imitation...... No, maybe it's because the human face imitates it, so it's a work of art that is even more beautiful than a human being.

- This is an incomprehensible non-human being.

"Excuse me, where is your master?" The young man turned his head happily, grabbed a beautiful maid who was walking by, and asked.

Although he showed enough courtesy, his eager tone and excited eyes clearly revealed his true thoughts.

The maid turned her head, bowed slightly, and said with a blank face, "I'm sorry, but I wasn't allowed to talk about it......" She was like a puppet who wasn't alive, just doing her job as a matter of course.

There were many servants like her in the garden, but they were all doing their own things with expressionless faces, as if they didn't care at all about what was happening in front of them, and they didn't care at all about the teenager who trespassed in.

"That's right......" "Anomaly" with the appearance of a teenager nodded, but he didn't get angry or embarrassed the other party, so there was no need for that, "Then I'll find it myself." ”

His attitude was very detached, as if he was looking down on all beings from a high place, and when he turned around, he opened his arms and proclaimed loudly towards this garden and this landβ€”

"Please give me a defeat! …… Please give me a strong enemy! …… Please give me a real fight!"

A sudden wind rose in the silent air, as if the voice of the proclamation had turned into a spirit of speech, stirring some strange line of cause and effect that had been hidden in the darkness.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

There was no response, but he knew that his declaration of war had been issued definitely, and that he just had to wait...... It's normal to not respond immediately, for example, if the other person has something at hand that needs to be dealt with?

Anyway, no matter what, the other party will definitely respond, you just need to be patient.

However, less than two minutes had passed, and the young man, who was patiently waiting, suddenly narrowed his eyes and cast his gaze in another direction.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you the disobedient god who came this time? I'm a bit of an impatient person, so let's get straight to the pointβ€”"

A voice came from afar, very clear and intellectual.

It was an older man, with a broad forehead, deep-set eyes, a very pale face, but silver hair was neatly combed, and even his beard was very clean.

It's like an old gentleman or an old professor, who doesn't know when he appeared in the depths of the garden over there, and then stepped out and walked towards the boy.

His emerald eyes narrowed as well, shining like wolf eyes:

"I was put on a side by Salbatre before, but I didn't expect that I would be taken by that kind of stupid guy first, and the "prey" that I had worked so hard to summon...... This time, it's up to me to take his "prey" on his turf and return the favor! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"It's really a madness beyond my strength, even if I gain power because of the fate of killing gods, but it's just an imitation of a ritual that once ended the myth......

The boy tilted his head slightly, his face not showing obvious anger, just shaking his head with a dumb smile.

"You are neither the original nor the last, and reverence may allow you to live to the end."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you trying to stall? The old gentleman seemed bored, but the pupils of the evil eye were shaking.

He inexplicably felt that the ancient divinity of the anthropomorphic image of the young man in front of him seemed to know some important secrets? For example, the secret ritual of transforming the god-killer? This has always been an unsolved mystery.

Even he, Sasha Dejansdal Woban, the oldest living godkiller, couldn't figure out why god-killers were able to take their power, and what the rationale was.

The entire mystery side has been studied for hundreds of years, and it has only vaguely determined some basic aspects, that is, it is very likely that there is a forbidden miracle that once ended the myth at work-

The god-killer will not appear for no reason, there is definitely the first demon king to accomplish such an amazing feat, and that incident not only created a precedent for the feat of killing gods, but also became some kind of meme-

In the transmission process of language, ideas, beliefs, behaviors, etc., concepts similar to the role played by genes in the process of biological evolution......

It is passed on through non-genetic means, especially imitation.

In fact, as long as someone successfully imitates the "process" of the forbidden occurrence, they can get a similar "result...... This is probably the principle of the secret ritual that created the fate of the godslayer.
