Chapter Twenty-Three: The King in Yellow
Luke Cage's gaze wandered between Hand and Harold, and he hesitantly leaned into Chen Ang's ear and whispered, "Your Excellency Investigator, do you think their side is a greater threat to us?" ”
Chen Ang sighed: "Now that the situation has become clear, Harold has summoned the evil god, and he will hold the demon blade that can control the evil god, they both want to destroy each other, but no matter which side wins, they must use Wudao to control the evil god." The key is that there is no way. Only by mastering the unrighteous can we grasp the initiative, otherwise any of them will cause a catastrophe! ”
Luke and Danny turned their gaze to Alessandra.
This old woman, who had lived for hundreds of years, was not a good person, and she said in a deep voice, "We can help you seal the evil gods......
Chen Ang coughed and reminded: "As long as you help her eliminate those alien creatures controlled by Harold, she will have the opportunity to break into the core area of the altar and use the power of Wudao to usurp the control of the sacrifice, control the dependents of the evil god, and seize the power of the evil god." ”
Danny immediately lifted the wreckage of the Sirius Knife and looked at Alessandra warily.
Seeing this, Harold sneered a few times and said, "It seems that there is no trust between you at all. ”
Chen Ang turned to him and said, "Many people think that they can fool the evil gods, and now their souls are wailing and regretting, you think you can take advantage of those existences, but you will always play with fire and burn yourself." Their indulgence is not kindness, but sitting back and watching your foolish actions...... And then at a critical time, bring you despair! ”
Harold said to Luke, "Help me capture Wudao, and it will all be over." I've always been a law-abiding businessman and I've got everything I want......"
"But you don't want to pay the price!" Luke hit the nail on the head.
"Yes!" Harold said calmly, "Help me capture Wudao, and I'll use it to end everything...... Otherwise, I will be controlled by the evil gods, and none of us will be able to please me then. I don't want to give this world to an evil god...... Nobody wants to. I just made a deal, and now I want to refuse to fulfill the contract due to force majeure. ”
Chen Ang smiled: "The old gods are not financial institutions, they don't have the saying that they win and lose, they only win and don't lose, because the rules are made by them, and no one can not pay the price." ”
Luke glanced at Chen Ang, but he took a few steps back, withdrawing from between Hand and Hand and Harold, Chen Ang said calmly, "Harold has gained too many benefits. He couldn't afford it...... And playing with the evil god is not a wise choice. He now has no second way but to win the ground. The Hand Peace Society was also driven to a dead end, and they couldn't lose their way. I don't think we have to mix it up now......"
Luke wondered, "Neither of them wins, we can't accept it!" ”
Chen Ang said slowly: "So...... We just have to deal with the victor among them. Instead of letting them work together to get us out first. As long as we don't get involved, they won't be able to reach mutual trust at all and form a tacit understanding that they will deal with us first. ”
Just when Chen Ang persuaded Luke that the bystander would fight with Harold to the death, Mrs. Gao, who was hiding in the dark, suddenly spoke, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Revenge is a flower that cannot be plucked by others...... If you can't cleanse your enemies from their sins with your own hands. It will be meaningless to be ashamed of the torment of relatives for more than ten years! ”
Danny's hand trembled slightly, but Mrs. Gao raised her head slightly, looked at him and said, "Whether we will be killed by Harold or not is meaningless to you." But can you bear Harold dying at our hands? Revenge is a flower that blooms among thorns, and those thorns, every night, every dream, hurt you. But are you going to let it be taken off? ”
Danny clenched his hands into fists and shouted, "Say no more! He slowly raised his head, and Luke put his hand on his shoulder and advised, "Countering violence with violence will not calm your heart. ”
Danny slowly took his hand away and said, "But it can anesthetize me anymore!" ”
Harold whispered, "You made the wrong choice, kid! Danny suddenly sneered, "But you're afraid, you're afraid of that prophecy, you're afraid of me!" Your power comes from the evil gods, so you are more afraid of the evil gods' judgment on your fate...... You will die at my hand. ”
Behind Harold, countless Mi Ge warriors swarmed out, they spewed out a viscous blue-green slime, the slime deteriorated rapidly in the air, and wherever it touched, it would quickly begin to decay, they were like fungus blankets, sticking to the ground, walls, anything, they would be like lichens, quickly covering all around, those green fungus blankets, if you look closely, you will find that they are composed of countless tiny, vine-like tentacles.
Those tentacles want to grasp everything around them, and show it, like a fungus blanket grasping the surrounding items, slowly spreading and devouring.
But any countless tiny tentacles that come close to Danny will quickly lose water like a fire, differentiate and wither.
Even the vigorous vitality of those mushroom blankets can't resist the erosion of the true qi of the drought...... Alexandra saw the fungus blanket spreading towards her, and tried to defend it with her true qi.
But she found that physical attacks had no effect on these things, and her true qi was even less lethal to them, and any thing that touched anything, steel, concrete, or flesh would quickly decompose and spread, and Alexandra saw with her own eyes that the large crane placed in the warehouse was quickly covered with a layer of green hair-like fungus blanket.
Alessandra had to drive the power of the black sky again, the minions of the invisible beast had no effect on these things, and the corrupting power of the beast seemed to be able to make the fungus blanket wither and corrupt, but the speed at which these things grew was too fast. The beast had to rise into the air to avoid the constant erosion of these things.
The green-haired fungus blanket soon grew to cover the entire warehouse, and it was rapidly expanding and eroding the entire port, and at this time, even Danny felt struggling. He had to keep eroding the fungus blanket that was close to him with the Drought True Qi, but it was growing too fast.
Mi Ge warriors kept rushing towards him, and now his True Qi could only slightly destroy the surface biological armor of these alien aliens, even if the highly condensed True Qi Blade cut them into two pieces, these alien warriors would not be eroded and withered by the dry True Qi on their wounds, and then they would be devoured and provided with Danny's True Qi to restore their True Qi.
Even if they are cut in two, the alien monsters that fall into the blanket will continue to absorb the material provided by the blanket, and the green-haired blanket will crawl up on their wounds, gluing them together, and then the monsters will quickly get up and pounce on Danny again.
Danny is getting harder and harder to get results, and Alexandra and Lady Gao are getting anxious.
Luke Cage and Chen Ang stepped aside to observe, Luke looked at those terrible green hair fungus blankets, his scalp was a little numb, even the one-eyed dragon Nick who was looking at it from a distance through the command system was extremely serious, he said to Luke in the earphones: "These alien creatures are a very big threat to the earth...... I've contacted the Avengers and they're coming. ”
"That investigator seems to know something, you go and ask him for some information about these alien mongrels!"
"No need!" Chen Ang stood up and said, "I'll tell you directly!" ”
Luke covered his bone conduction headphones and said in surprise, "Can you hear us?" ”
Chen Ang pointed to the noise-canceling headphones he was wearing and said, "I hacked into a nearby channel ......" "This is not a technology that the people can master!" Chen Angman said indifferently: "I have an official background...... I'm an insurance investigator sent from China! Remember? ”
"I hope you will explain to us the scope of this insurance investigator's business when this is over." The one-eyed dragon dissatisfied.
Chen Ang pretended not to hear him, and explained to himself: "I have already explained the background of these aliens to you. Mi Go, a fungal race from Yogs, the star of Yogs is somewhere in the constellation Ursa Major, so I won't provide detailed coordinates to prevent you from dying! ”
"The Mi Ge are highly skilled in biochemical technology and space technology, and they have built an extensive teleportation network, a Might and Magic Gate system. Yes...... Magic. Although they are clearly more interested in the study of science and technology than in the magic they learned from the Old Gods. But this creature, which worships the old gods such as Sabu Nikolas, Yog Sotos, and Nyaratotip, also has a lot of forbidden knowledge of spells. ”
"Wait......" Nick wondered, "I think I've heard these names!" ”
"No matter what you hear about ......them there," Chen Ang smiled mysteriously, "remember, what you know is not all they have. ”
Luke saw Chen Ang walk to the warehouse where the altar had been set up by the Peace Meeting, and he looked up at the starry sky.
Luke asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid you quit the battle between them, I'm afraid it's not just because you let them fight each other and then be a victor who waits for their work......"
"If any of them win, they won't give us another chance." Chen Ang said: "So I just want to deceive them and get out of their sight...... Let's do something. ”
Luke frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
Chen Ang looked at the magic circle on the ground where the altar was arranged, re-lit the five candles, and said, "Help me bring those strange wrecks over one by one...... Luke obediently dragged over the corpse of Mi Go, whose head was torn off by him, and placed it in the middle of the pentagram according to Chen Ang's instructions, Chen Ang dipped the stick in those green slimes, and spent a symbol on the ground that looked like three cantilever arms of the Milky Way, and like three tentacles sticking out from the center......
"It's a yellow seal!" Chen Ang explained.
