"It's unexpected, I will become a hostage one day......"

A smile tugged at the corner of Ailu Lomei's mouth, and suddenly her whole body relaxed, and she sat in a narrow cage, gently holding up her long sideburns that fell to the ground:

"If nothing else, they'll trade me for an attempt to get the Divine Source Machine from Ivan in exchange. The shadow creatures are such a fool that they think I can compare to the Divine Source Machine...... How could that person with hegemony and power in his heart compromise for a woman. ”

Although she is trapped in prison and her future is uncertain, she is calmer than ever at this moment, so calm that she is almost cruel to herself.

Elu Lomei tilted her head, her body motionless, her soft pale silver-gray eyes staring at the bundle of sideburns, and her slender hands gently lifted up, allowing the silver strands of hair to flow down her palms—in the dark space, only her hair reflected a faint halo, which looked like a flowing light from a distance.

“......”

She watched the stream of light silently, her thick eyelashes blinking slightly, and her silver-gray eyes shining like jewels in the darkness. It seems to listen to the murmur of shadow creatures in the darkness, and it seems to be intoxicated by its own imagination and refuse to wake up;

After a while, Eru Lomme silently lowered her palms and let her bright silver sideburns fall to the ground, if she could close her heart, she would rather shut herself up in a fantasy world and sleep forever.

But for a brief moment, she would think of a different ending, a fantasy as fragile as a bubble, and whenever such a picture flashed in her mind, she always asked herself—in his heart, am I worth saving?"

Elulome turned her face sideways, subconsciously hugging herself, her eyes looking through the translucent walls of the cage and looking at the blood-colored flames like a tornado at the top of the altar in the distance, her mouth pursed unconsciously, and a hint of confusion flashed in her silver-gray eyes—she was calm enough to consider giving up on herself, but not strong enough not to fear death.

Buzz——!

Immediately afterward, the cube's dark crystal cage suddenly levitated, and the surface of the surface took on a dense tadpole-like texture, and with the strange texture spreading rapidly, the cage rushed into the air with the bewildered Eru Lomei, and then fell in a parabola in the direction of the altar.

......

"It smells so good. ”

The light in the blood shadow's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he stretched out his withered branch-like hands to support the black crystal cage that was speeding towards him out of thin air:

"A human woman, a young man in her prime, a golden vein, a strong soul, and, more beautifully, pregnant—you must be the queen of Menes!? I haven't tasted such a meal for a long, long time...... Papadia is a poor fellow, but he understands my tastes. ”

“......”

Eru Lomei narrowed her eyes at the huge shadow in front of her, and then couldn't help but clench her fists, the joints of her slender fingers bulging out with a crisp sound of hard 'clucking'.

This monster unleashed a terrifying wave of power, which was completely different from the opponents it had encountered before, and even the newly unsealed Lord of Radiance could not match it. Even if you simply look at yourself, there is a tidal wave of terrifying aura coming to your face, it is not a simple rank suppression, but a powerful majesty that is almost immortal.

"From your eyes, I see strength and calmness. ”

The Blood Shadow held the black crystal cage in his hand and looked at her carefully, his tone revealing a hint of playfulness: "It's a pity, I've seen too many of these looks, and there are countless ways to make them weak and numb. Let the strong souls descend into darkness and listen to their voices turn from angry to wailing and then crying and begging for mercy...... It's my favorite aftershow. ”

At this point, it suddenly changed its tone and became smooth and relaxed:

"I'm interested in telling you all about it, but you don't want to get into these fantastic ideas, so forget about it for now. Don't be surprised, we shadow creatures are enemies of humanity, but we also follow basic rules. ”

"You monsters know how to treat hostages well?"

Elu Lome glanced at him with silver-gray eyes, her gaze as clear as water, and she had no fear.

"Hostage? good...... I like people who can recognize reality first-hand. Yes, you are now our hostage, although it is a little ugly, but your status is much higher than that of a prisoner of war. ”

The Demon Shadow laughed and lowered his head, leaning closer to the black crystal cage, and let out a greedy voice, "As you can see, no matter how greedy I am, I can't eat precious hostages." ”

Eru Lomei lowered her head, gently stroked her pregnant belly, deliberately did not look at its dark green eyes, and asked calmly, "Since you are a hostage, do you want something?"

"Very good, very good, you make me so happy to be so cooperative!"

At this point, the monster's smile came to an abrupt end, its pupils shrank into shining highlights, and its voice became like a torch roaring: "Among the wealth you have, the only thing that I can covet is the Divine Source Machine, so I want to exchange you for such a treasure from your husband." ”

"What's the use of you asking for the Divine Source Machine?" asked Eru Romei with a normal expression.

"In our hands, there is such a strong curiosity...... Are you trying to get information from me?"

The monster turned the cage in his hand, forcing the other party to look at him, and the moment he looked at each other, his tone returned to peace:

"It doesn't matter, from the moment the Normas failed, the secret of our race's evolution cannot be hidden. As you know, the Shadow World has never been an opponent of human civilization, and it can even be said that there is a huge disparity in strength. If it weren't for the peculiarities of the shadow world, we would have been destroyed by your apostles long ago.

The constant defeats also make us reflect on the inability to resist in the face of the apostles who are far superior to us. Why are we still suppressed by humans as inheritance-level lifeforms!?"

"Because of the Divine Source Machine, because the Divine Source Machine can increase the number of inheritance-level mechanics to be close to the Apostle?"

"Yes, because of the Divine Source Machine!"

The monster closed its head affirmatively, looked at the endless wreckage of the mecha under the altar, and roared in a feverish voice:

"The visionary among us, who have been researching ways to control machinery for hundreds of years, have finally succeeded. As long as I have a Divine Source Machine, let me become one with that immortal mechanical body, I will be able to transcend the current level in no time!"

"You are still no match for the apostles. Eru Lomme turned her face again, her heart full of surprise, but on the surface she scoffed.

"At least there's hope!" the monster retorted coldly.

At this moment, its eyes were like thunder and lightning, piercing through the hearts of human beings in an instant, and she was suddenly silent, faintly creepy.

One-one-one-one-one-one

Hyperion, the base of the lunar surface.

The wreckage of the base gradually dissolves in the darkness, the surrounding night scene continues to sink in dark tones, and the light of the improvised street lamps around it is dim, as if it has been refracted against, and there is a pale, distorted feeling.

Sneer——!

The molten golden beam swept straight through the void and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind spiral-shaped vacuum bands, and the speed of the beam was so fast that only when it turned could the vague figure inside the light be seen.

Straight beams of light tossed and turned between the ruins, the scorching breath in the air became denser and denser, and the afterimage disappeared faster and faster, and in an instant, a spherical wave exploded in the void, sending the figure upside down.

Whoosh——!

Evan's figure twisted the air and fell to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, but when he got back up, he didn't stop for a moment, and immediately ran and turned into a beam of light, and disappeared into the scorched air in an instant.

Ever since he knew the ending of Zero, he knew that he had not practiced wrongly, but that the magic technique itself was flawed. Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, in order to improve the strength as soon as possible, and also for the sake of one more hole card - no matter what zero type has any flaws, you must practice!

Whoosh——!

In the turbid air, the molten golden figure passed through, turning and flashing like lightning in the bleak space; with the vibration and reflux of the air, the shock wave set off by the high-speed movement of the body spread from all corners of the ruins; Ivan figure's figure shuttled through the dust, and from time to time there were broken light.

Due to the long hours of extreme sports, the Eucharistic blessing did not have time to heal his accumulated injuries - his skin was a deep purple color due to the rupture of a large number of micro-blood vessels, the joints were bruised by the strong impact, and his breath was accompanied by a burning mist of blood.

"Zero...... Zero ...... Zero ......"

With a persistent flame burning in his pupils, Ivan gritted his back molars and muttered subconsciously repeatedly. In the process, he has completely ignored time and physical strength, and only has the basic movements of the zero type in his mind, and his body is practicing frantically over and over again, almost masochistically.

"Zero!"

Ivan accelerated forward with red eyes, and the muscles and organs of his whole body shook at the same time, and a muffled thunderous roar erupted. The right fist condensed the light energy to the limit, and flew out with the flickering figure, striking out a beam of molten gold.

Bang——!

The molten golden beam continued to advance more than 300 meters, and suddenly exploded at the moment when it was about to turn, and a molten golden mushroom cloud slowly rose, followed by a huge impact from the explosion.

“......”

After the shock wave dissipated, Evan struggled to his feet from the crater and stumbled out of the smoke-filled range. At this moment, he was covered in blood, and his body was full of horrible cracks, and the wounds that healed quickly and then burst quickly made him very terrifying now.

Ivan's originally calm face has become distorted, the power of the divine skill is as powerful as the backlash, he is already a little out of control, after a long period of accumulation, that kind of backlash is like a divine skill directly acting on his body, and every inch of his body is about to explode.

While curbing the frantically raging Zero Remnants in his body, he released light energy to heal himself with the blessing of the Holy Communion.

"It's almost ...... Almost, almost I can touch the foundation of Zero......"

Blood dripped down with heavy sweat, and Ivan was also dyed with red blood in his eyes, and a few thick green tendons suddenly protruded from his face, which disappeared. The muscles of the whole body swelled and deformed little by little, squeezing the terrible wounds into thin slits.

......

"Zero, ahh!!h

A thunderous roar shook the entire arena, and at the moment when the visible sound waves stirred, a molten golden beam of light burst through the air and rushed into the distance with a circle of exploding air.

Boom ——!

In an instant, his galloping figure burst into a pillar of sky-high fire, enveloping the ground within a radius of twenty meters. The lightstorm frantically expanded outward, but the void in the explosion area shrank inward, like glass solidifying, sealing the space around Ivan's body into a whole.

Click——!

The blockade of the space shook violently, and suddenly countless fine cracks cracked, and then collapsed into a pitch-black concave surface—and then burst;

Boom ——!

The earth within a radius of several hundred meters suddenly shook, and a rising waterfall of air currents swirled into the sky. The surrounding rubble and gravel pushed forward in all directions like a curtain wall, roaring strangely to form a dark scene, stirring up the ruins of the base.

At the center of the explosion, it was already a chaotic vacuum.

“......”

Evan's forward swing froze in place, as motionless as a sculpture, a second, two, three seconds...... Five seconds later, his body erupted from the inside out, spewing out a terrible mist of blood, and the deep wound was hidden, and finally he fell to the ground weakly.

After a quarter of an hour of quiet rest, Evan slowly raised his left hand, looked at the blackened burns on his hand, and exhaled silently:

"The basic version of the Zero. ”

Since Eru Rome's disappearance, he has drastically modified his schedule and training intensity, from the crazy training of himself in the past to the current training of himself.

In the end, the hard work paid off, and he stumbled and practiced a half-trick zero style.

Ivan didn't do this masochist - for revenge, he had to advance the lineage before this generation of Norma died of old age!

Although the Zero flaw is huge, it is the pinnacle that Eve Ancestors reached back then. If you want to reach this realm, you have to stand on the shoulders of giants, so Zero Style must be practiced for him!

Gurgle - cluck——!

Before Ivan could digest what he had just gained, his right arm covered by the armor suddenly swelled and deformed, disintegrating the sleeves and the armor support: in an instant, the arm part was covered with scaly spikes, and the back of the hand was also inlaid with silver-like armor—the entire right arm turned into an extremely hideous metal dragon claw.

"What's going on? Could it be that the dragon transformation method will automatically attack when I am extremely weak!?"

He spun around sharply, sat on his knees on the sunken ground, gripped his dragon-turning arm hard, and tried his best to suppress the force.
