Chapter 31: The World of Teenagers Being Subverted
Su Mo and the others didn't expect that in fact, the three of Rainer had already arrived on the mainland in advance. The boat they were on was an ordinary sailboat, and luckily there was a tailwind on their return trip, so the time it would have taken was cut by nearly half.
Oh, and by the way, the wielder of the Beast Giant didn't actually return with them as Su Mo expected, but stayed on the island to plan for the future - of course, it was not surprising that the guy had to be beaten to tears by Levi and Ani.
However, after returning to the mainland, they were greeted not as expected.
"It's ....... Our....... City? โ
Standing in place, Reiner's mouth slightly open and his eyes trembling.
Cities on the mainland are far more developed than the isolated islands of the Paradise of Twilight, and the island's rare high-rise buildings are everywhere. The level of science and technology is more than one generation higher than that of the island, in terms of weapons, if the guns in the giant wall have little effect on the giants, unless there are countless cannons aimed at the basic face can be concentrated to obtain effective benefits, so they can only rely on the soldiers carrying three-dimensional mobile devices to fight in close combat to obtain effective results, the Marais Empire has reached a level where it can cause great damage to the giants with weapons alone - otherwise they would not have been able to drive the Eldia clan to live alone on the island a hundred years ago.
The people are also quite affluent, the level of industrialization far exceeds that of the islands, electricity has long been widely used, agriculture has entered the initial mechanization, and it is common to see a large area of well-defined farms with green crops thriving.
- At least, that's what Reiner remembers.
But what is presented in front of the three of them now is completely different.
Dilapidated houses that seem to have been destroyed for decades, a land full of horrific scars, half a flower that has clearly become deformed and the size of a calf, a gloomy sky that seems to have gone through the post-industrial revolution after a period of completely unrelenting frenzy, and empty cities with no human figure in sight........ Yes, there is not a single person in the whole city, one can even say that not a single creature does not exist, quiet, quiet to an eerie degree. Human civilization, once glorious compared to the small peasant society on the island, has now become like a dim sunshine twilight, which can only set off a desolate and sad scene.
For the largest body, but the personality has always been a little weak, Berthold's whole body trembled in place, and he couldn't say anything.
And Yumir, who has always had a poisonous tongue, forcibly calmed down after a period of shock, trembling slightly and pulling the corners of his mouth and sneering: "Why, sixty years have passed, and this side has been going backwards?" โ
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this girl with a layer of cold sweat on her forehead is reckless.
"No...... That's not right......"
Reiner, who has a strong personality, shook his head fiercely: "What happened?" Be careful, everyone! Something must have gone wrong!! โ
His heart was also extremely shaken, but his long-term qualities as a warrior did not allow him to be too trapped by emotions at this time, and he put aside other emotions at the first time, and only had the best solution in his mind to deal with this situation - immediately find a relatively safe place to hide and wait and see what happened.
And in the process of retreating, he found that Berthold was still standing still, and Reiner gritted his teeth and dragged him back very roughly.
"Berthold, calm me down!!!"
After retreating behind a large cement pier on the side of the road, Reiner slapped Bellehold on the shoulder, although his own face had turned pale from the sudden change, but he was worthy of being the most trusted big brother among the trainees, and even in this case Reiner maintained at least a minimum of calm as a warrior.
Ymir also wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "I only think about it now, I don't know if you have noticed, we came all the way from the coast is so quiet, except for the sound of the wind, we have not even seen a small bird or a bug - although I have been away from here for more than sixty years, no matter what, the Marais Empire will not develop to the point where only human beings exist, right?" โ
Yu Mier, who is also not bad in psychological quality, remembered what he saw along the way: "The instructor said at the beginning that observing the environment is a very important thing, and the environment can provide a lot of information....... At this time, Su Mo came to mind.
Calmness is a very valuable quality, although in the face of some force majeure, no matter how calm it is, it is nothing more than a death of more graceful, but it is better than others, right?
Like now.
Perhaps sensing the breath of freshness, the ground of the entire city in front of him began to shake slowly under the suppressed gaze of Reiner and the others, and then .....
Puff โ
As if something had been stabbed and leaking, the ground suddenly cracked, and a pitch-black breath wafted out of it. And along with the black gas were snow-white joints of bonesโand the bones that had finally risen completely from the ground immediately after.
Human, animal, only skeleton, only half rotted.........
It looks like a scourge of the dead.
โ......โ
โ......โ
Even Reiner and Ymir, who were more resilient, finally lost their words, and the scene in front of them completely challenged the lower limit of their three views.
The world collapsed in an instant.
............................
The snow-white figure flickered on the mountain, and the silver sword light kept bursting, and from time to time, a sword like a crescent moon slashed and then ploughed out a canyon hundreds of meters long on the ground. And when everything finally stopped, the growth that was originally attached to the mutant giant like a mountain boulder shattered into countless pieces and was thrown into the sky, Su Mo stayed on a big tree, looking at the giant in front of him who kept crawling on all fours - even lying on the ground was more than two hundred meters high, this was the result of Su Mo cutting off the "mountain" that originally covered it.
That's right, Su Mo specially shredded all the things that were probably comparable in size to a real mountain - otherwise, if he simply wanted to kill this mutant giant that was as weak as a bug for Su Mo and the others in addition to his huge size and infinite strength, the current Su Mo didn't even need to use the magic cannon......
And the purpose of this is .......
"Aoko, what do you think this thing is?"
Su Mo and the three of them fell on the back of the giant, and then in its crazy roar, Su Mo found the location of the heart, and after the three swords opened a big hole neatly, exposing the heart about the size of the building, he pointed and said.
"Purple, fireworks?"
Aoko narrowed her eyes, and the blood sprayed around her didn't affect the three of them. The heart that was pounding in front of him was not the normal bright red, but a layer of dark purple fluttering flames on the surface.
And after saying the first sentence, Qingzi quickly shook his head fiercely: "No, no, this thing is the power to destroy the will?" โ
"Well, and it's purple........"
Su Mo raised his head and closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them, and the long sword slashed down in front of him-
A neat deep hole appeared in the ground, the edges so smooth that it seemed that it was not dirt but neatly divided granite.
But the deep hole was soon buriedโa cascade of blood and the corpse of a giant severed in the chest. 8)
