Chapter 133: Reversing the Future (Finale)
Racehorses that have been optimized for breeding and have been trained for a long time can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h, while cheetahs can reach speeds of up to 100 km/h in the few seconds when they go all out, without sacrificing endurance and attacking power. Ivan is now traveling at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour, about 33 meters per second, and has maintained it for 16 minutes—almost the maximum development of the human body's potential, which is already on the verge of the limit of the physical structure of the skeleton.
"This damn mental pollution ......"
Ivan bit the tip of his tongue violently, his mouth was suddenly filled with a fishy sweet taste, and his vision gradually cleared, and he could see the rapidly retreating vision ahead. The lighthouse, shrouded in spiral red light, is like an indifferent one-eyed eye at this time, standing on the top of the mountain peak and looking down on the earth.
"Things will end up like this, and it comes down to me not being strong enough...... As long as you don't become an apostle, you will always be someone else's pawn!"
With the help of this intense stimulus of self-harming nature, he regained consciousness slightly, barely adjusting to the tremendous mental and physical exertion at this time. At the same time, the frustration of being in a desperate situation, exhaustion, and the loss of all his companions turned into great negative feelings that stung his soul.
"Don't say anything about the King of Hyperion, the Lord of Light and Darkness, I can't even save my life now...... In such a world, it is a sin not to have the strength to match ambition!" Evan's self-blame and guilt at this time finally turned into a serious dissatisfaction with his own abilities and a great desire for the power of the apostles.
Sneer——!
At this moment, the ground in front of him was shattered by the huge tentacles that flew by, leaving countless deep ravines behind. The sound of continuous explosions pierced the ground and rushed into the depths of the red light that was getting brighter and brighter.
"Oops!"
When Evan saw the abruptly changing terrain in front of him, his whole body suddenly fell into an ice cellar, his body was unstable, and he almost fell to the ground covered with mud. With his current physical state, once he falls, he probably won't be able to get up again. Either direct syncope due to cardiac ischemia due to sudden arrest after intense exercise, or torn to shreds by the out-of-control Lightblade floating cannon.
But in the face of the current situation, even if he could stand up intact and twice as fast, he would not be able to pass the terrain that completely collapsed in front of him.
"It's hard to escape...... Wings!?"
Just when his heart was almost dead, suddenly a spirit, his eyes fell on the light blade floating cannon that flickered beside him, and a bold idea suddenly sprouted in his heart - the light blade floating cannon is composed of eight pairs of mechanical discs, if you separate two of them and step on them as a skateboard, isn't this equivalent to growing wings!?
"I don't have time to think about it, I have to do it or not!"
Thinking of this, Ivan immediately became heartbroken, and his mind extended to one of the pair of floating cannons through the armband, controlling them to reduce their rotation, and leave the range of the defensive circle and fly towards him.
Whoosh——!
Two swirling cold rays of light flew out in an instant, rapidly reducing their speed, revealing a disc composed of two sharp metal blades. At the moment when the mechanical disc slashed towards his legs, Evan also suddenly changed his body, swooped forward, jumped into the air, lowered his hips, bent his chest and pulled his back, and then his legs were forked and stepped down, just stepping on the back of the mechanical frisbee.
"Whew!"
He spread his hands outwards like flying wings, adjusting his center of gravity with the tilt of the floating cannon, bending his waist sideways as if he were stepping on a skateboard, and exhaling a short, sharp breath from his mouth.
It was like a sharp knife coming out of its sheath, and at this moment, Evan's breathing in his chest suddenly became sharp and sharp. Like a goshawk swaying left and right in a storm, it was forced to the limit, and suddenly let out a long roar from a height of several thousand meters, and rushed to the peaceful world in the distance with all its might.
"It worked!"
Ivan soared as the Lightblade float cannon soared, shrouded in a dense encirclement surrounded by cold light, and swept out as if he were stepping on a flying skateboard. Looking back, there was no longer any breath of life between the creeping dark green heaven and earth.
On the ground not far away, the wind tore and pulled countless dark and heavy clouds. Dark clouds were rolling and rushing like a filthy sea whistling overhead. In the depths of the faint dull thunder and lightning, the large, misshapen figure was rapidly approaching itself, step by step.
"It's okay, at my current speed, I can escape into the red light before it gets close to me!"
Ivan compared the speed between friend and foe, his tense spirit relaxed slightly, and when he turned his head to look back at the spiral red light, a huge question suddenly sprouted in his mind - was this the escape path that Shylock had deliberately left for them?
Even if you can escape back to the past, with the technological level of the Heartless City, what can you do in the face of this kind of cosmic-level evil god!?
No, no, no, this may not be the way to escape!
Ivan flickered his gaze frequently, and a sharp light in his pitch-black pupils suddenly bloomed, as if two silver and transparent flames were burning in the depths of his pupils.
"They were wrong, everyone was wrong...... If you want to pass this trial, there is only one way!"
One by one, one by one
The land surrounded by mountains and the sea is filled with a lingering smell of intense blood. The blood-colored vines that spread everywhere devoured all the buildings, canyons, and pools of water. It was as if a steady stream of dark green glue seeped out from under the ground, submerging the earth into a dark green ocean.
Countless huge tentacles covered with sarcomas intertwined with each other, rolling densely, each tentacle connected to the large, twisted dark shadow, and those sarcomas looked like human faces. The earth, surrounded by mountains and seas, was now filled with thousands of these terrifying dark green flesh vines, which were sticky and bloody wriggling, like huge maggots that frantically breed and stir in carrion
Between the nightmarish abyssal heaven and earth, the deformed and massive shadow was moving in the direction of the lighthouse, moving in a seemingly slow manner.
"Come on, you bastard, aren't you going to hunt me down, come here!"
Evan stood at the edge of the red pillar of light, and did not immediately enter the space-time tunnel, but stayed in place and shouted at the distant demon shadow to attract the attention of the other party.
"This guy is too slow...... There's got to be a little bit of a big move!"
Thinking of this, he narrowed his eyes and extended his mind to the Lightblade float cannon through the armband. With a slam wave of his hand into the distance, a transparent ripple cut through the air and spun forward like thunder. After flying forward for dozens of meters, four pairs of swirling ripples joined each other to form a lightning-like swirling cold light. The speed is getting faster and faster, and it disappears into the chaotic wind and rain in a blink of an eye.
The power of the Light Blade Floating Cannon was released to the limit at this moment, and countless translucent cold lights were like silk threads, tearing apart large swaths of fleshy vines one by one. Flickering and intertwining in the form of light, it galloped wildly forward, quickly approaching the huge shadow in the distance.
Whoosh——!
And the moment the cold light touched the demon shadow, it disappeared out of thin air as if evaporating, and between the entire vast black oppressive heaven and earth, countless twisted and wriggling vines shot towards Ivan like a rage.
"It's coming!"
He watched as the shadows of the dark green ocean accelerated abruptly, swooping down like a comet. Clenching his fists violently, he stepped on the two lightblade floating cannons and turned around, drilling into the range of the spiral beam between the lightning and flint.
The moment they touched, the whirlpools were squeezed to the sides like ripples, forming folds that spread in circles. At the same time, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, like the peristaltic intestines of living creatures, and in each fold appeared a world submerged in the 'dark green ocean'. It stretches and elongates like a strip of black and white film, and overlaps repeatedly, forming a double helix structure similar to a chromosome.
"Whew...... Whew......"
Ivan gritted his teeth and galloped hard, and as soon as he entered the whirlpool, he overwhelmed the speed of the Lightblade Floating Cannon to the extreme, rushing forward along the folds of the repetitive scenery. It is also thanks to his current mixed martial arts skills that he has reached the master level, the power of penetration has reached a higher level, and the level of unloading force has been superb. If ordinary people, even if they weld themselves to death on the lightblade floating cannon, their bodies will be crushed into minced meat by the wind.
Whoosh——!
In an instant, he had swept a distance of more than 100 meters or so, and the passages in front of him were intertwined and overlapped, and rotated clockwise alternately.
From there, the further back you go, the more the two passages overlap. The scene on the folds is also gradually blurred, and the exit of the part of the picture that completely disappears - two orange-red vortices about three meters high are slowly stirring, and the eyes of the vortex seem to be connecting the two dimensions. A beam of golden light shot out of it, like a bridge hanging in the air.
"The last time I chose the right passage, I went back in time. Erica and the Eye Demon also chose the right, so they came back to us. Where will those who choose the left go? If it's the future......"
Ivan didn't have time to think about it, gritted his teeth fiercely, harnessed the light blade floating cannon, and flew like lightning towards the space-time tunnel on the left.
Bang bang——!
The furious tentacles in the space rolled rapidly, and the thunderous rumbling sound continued to explode in the space-time tunnel. The Shadow squeezed into the tunnel, pouring in the direction of Ivan like a flood of foul-smelling glue.
"Hurry up, hurry up!"
He squeezed the last of his potential, chewing on the fragments of his tongue in his mouth, desperately escaping into the depths of the space-time tunnel. The face was completely shrouded in a shadow of fear, the lips were pale, and the pupils were locked in a line.
Whoosh——!
Dozens of tentacles suddenly flew out, closing the distance between themselves and their prey at a speed faster than sound. Just as they were about to touch Evan's back, tearing it through and through, he finally touched the edge of the orange swirl.
One by one, one by one
At the moment when Evan flew through the vortex eye, a strange orange light swept across his eyes, and then his vision suddenly became clear and wide. Everything around him came to an abrupt halt as if it were frozen, and the tentacles that were only two meters away from him froze in the air, and the shadow that was still spreading before was as rigid as iron, the air no longer flowed, and the energy transmission stopped.
Even the Lightblade Floating Cannon seemed to freeze, suspended in the pale space out of thin air, and the spiritual pollution that suppressed itself all the time stopped eroding.
It was as if the river of time had stopped flowing at this moment.
"Looks like I was right, and it did. To the right is to go back to the past, and to the left is to the future......" Ivan gasped with relief, a sharp light radiated from his dark eyes, and there seemed to be a burning flame in his pupils, and then turned his head calmly.
Behind him, the Immortal Shadow froze completely in the void, and the space around him trembled visibly like ripples, bringing up translucent ripples. The ripples smeared the cosmic god's body, fading its silhouette and its sarcoma-strewn tentacles.
"Although the Desolate Ghost Domain is full of ghosts, there is no trace of your guy's existence, which means that your guy will disappear after completing the task of destroying the world. If you enter a space-time tunnel and travel to the future, you will fall into a kind of time paradox of 'the present disappears and the future does not exist'. No matter how powerful a life form is, it is weak and powerless in the face of the torrent of time. ”
Ivan said to himself, slowly lowered his head, and looked at his gradually mottled and transparent body: "Even if you are an immortal body, or some cosmic evil god, in the face of such a 'spiral of contradictions', you will be wiped out in an instant. ”
One by one, one by one
"The 54,413th qualified, Iron Hand, has successfully cleared the fourth stage. The end of the apocalypse disappears due to the paradox of time and space, and the invisible space collapses, and all eligible people will save their memories and reset back to their life state at the beginning of the trial. ”
"The 54,413th qualified person, Iron Hand, will receive a customs clearance reward, 100 million grams of gold coupons, and a gene enhancement solution. ”
"The 54,413th qualified person, Iron Hand, will receive a high-level clearance reward, a Light Blade Floating Cannon, a high-efficiency fusion liquid, and a set of Blood Dragon Armor.
"The 54,413th qualified person, Iron Hand, will receive a perfect clearance reward, one ton of Shenyuan metal. ”
In the familiar mechanical voice, Ivan slowly opened his eyes, and as his gaze unfolded, it was a restaurant in the entertainment city. Beside him, the White Bear, the Seal, the Eye Demon, the Knight, and Erica all opened their eyes at the same time, and when they saw each other again, their eyes instantly overflowed with surprise and joy.
"What's going on? Am I not dead?" said the knight, opening his eyes in surprise and looking at his hands.
"Adam!"
Before the man could react, he was hugged tightly in his arms by the eye demon crying, his expression was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but cry.
"We're alive, to put it that way...... You succeeded!?"
The white bear turned his head and looked at Ivan with a fanatical look: "You changed the ending for all of us, you successfully reversed the future!"
