Chapter 23 On the Way Home

The old man fell, his armor suddenly twisting, each piece deformed with a groan. The energy accumulated in the fierce battle did not fully burst out until this moment, and even the heavy armor made of super alloy could not withstand it. Blood spurted out of the cracks in the armor like a fountain, and was instantly evaporated by the energy.

Sue descended the stairs without touching the icon on the altar in the prayer room. It was indeed a priceless treasure, but the endless energy it contained resonated with Su all the time. The icon was like an active volcano that was sleeping, and Su was worried that if she touched it, she would be burned to ashes by the energy gushing out in an instant. If it was at the beginning of burning himself, Su might still have some confidence, but now that he has burned to the embers, how can he still have any greedy thoughts?

Sue's body was burning inside, and the constant tingling in his brain made him almost unable to think. The scene in front of him flickered and darkened, and the panorama became choppy. Suddenly, Sue's mind exploded like thunder, and his whole body shook, and the world around him suddenly fell into darkness.

It's pitch black, and it's quiet.

Minute by minute.

I don't know how long it took, in the center of Su's consciousness, a small red dot quietly appeared, which was so eye-catching in the endless darkness. It gradually expanded, vaguely resembling a red silk, and swirling to enlarge. In the vast darkness, this only bright color attracted Sue's full attention. The red color is getting bigger and bigger, and it can be seen that this is a red silk that is blown and fluttering by the wind, and in the center of the red silk, the girl's figure is gradually clear.

She was asleep, her long hair scattered around her, and bits of shining stars floated on it.

In the extreme silence, there was a sudden sound of tearing cloth, and the flying red silk seemed to be torn in two by an invisible hand. But if you look closely, it is still a complete piece, supporting the girl in the void.

However, it changed in an instant, it became viscous, heavy, and no longer elegant, and a thick bloody aura filled the entire space in an instant. All the red turned to blood at this moment. The blood was surging, floating the girl's long hair, soaking her body, and eventually, slowly infecting her sleeping face. She slowly sank down the sea of blood, and in this sea of blood that was built in the void, there was no bottom of the sea.

"Medirri!!" Sue opened her eyes again!

It took him a while to make sense of his situation. He was half-collapsed on the ground, his head resting on the corner of the stairs, most of his body unconscious. Underneath his body, there was a large pool of blood. At the moment, the blood is flowing aimlessly, and from time to time a few blood streaks will stick out to probe the surrounding environment. But without Sue's will, the invaders had no idea what they were supposed to do, and were just running around on instinct and making a mess.

Su barely moved his body, but fortunately, his hands and legs could still be used, although he didn't have much strength anymore. The blood loss also made him feel weak, and the intruders in the blood on the ground were almost exhausted, and even if they were withdrawn, it would be useless.

It was dark and cold, illuminated only by the faint light that came through the exit far above. The cold staircase continued downward, with no end in sight. It seems that after falling unconscious, Sue rolled on the spiral ladder for a long time before stopping.

He grabbed the handrail, dragged his heavy body hard, allowed himself to stand up against the handrail, and walked down step by step in a stiff motion. Before he was unconscious, his body was filled with burning pain, but now it was replaced by a large patch of numbness. The numbness spreads in areas where the body tissues are completely necrotic after burning. The flames in his body have been extinguished, Sue is still tenaciously alive, and if there is enough time and nourishment, then he may still recover. What is more troublesome is that a small half of the brain tissue has been burned, and although the remaining intelligence centers are still able to think, the speed of thought is less than one percent of what it would have been when it was overloaded.

The panorama can also be lit, but it can only stretch out for more than ten meters, and the brightness is weak, and the image is blurry. Within the detection range of the panorama, there is only one passage that continues to extend downward, and there is no end in sight. Behind the four walls of the passage, through the concrete layer and the load-bearing structure, there is a thick rock. The only way to go is to keep going down, and what Sue wants to get is down there.

"Medirli......" Su Mo read the name, and the blinding red seemed to appear in front of her eyes again.

That's not a hunch, it's a deduction. This image first appeared at the moment of the battle with the General, and again when Medirri mentioned the resting place, and finally, in the battle of the Templar, in a state of transcendence of the limits, it was fully deduced.

The third metamorphosis did not completely eliminate the hidden dangers in Medirri, and in the battle of Twilight Castle, the girl slaughtered her opponent with all her strength, at the cost of her own life. With the help of some extremely large external force, she was able to complete her third transformation and reawaken. However, as her abilities increase, the hidden dangers of the past will gradually become apparent, and one day trigger a complete disintegration of genes again. The maiden will be drenched in blood again, as she was then, and will melt away completely. The difference is that this time it will be her own blood that will drown her.

The core can suspend this process, but it cannot stop it, and may even make disintegration inevitable. Upon touching the General's core, Su sensed that the deepest part of the core was rooted in the function of disintegrating the host. And the command that triggers this function will come from the outside, in other words, the superior creature that controls the core can cause the general who relies on the core to disintegrate in an instant. Since then, Sue has probed the core of Sylvanas's body and discovered that it also has this function.

This discovery kept Sue awake.

The core of Sylvanas's body was created by Su based on the 'Heart of Darkness', while Medirri's core is related to the Heart of Darkness, but it is not directly subordinate to the creation of Zào. This also means that in this world, or at least in this universe, there is likely to be a zài that can control the life and death of a girl. It could be some superlife, or it could just be a simple organ.

The hidden danger inside Medirri's body had begun to manifest, like an invisible crack that was quietly stretching beneath her porcelain-like exterior. The occasional weakness and melancholy that girls inadvertently show may be an instinctive reaction. She is not afraid of death, but she will miss the time she spent living by Sue's side.

The home of the resting place resonates with Sue, the energy of the Templar resonates with Sue, and the sacred scriptures in the boy's arms also resonate with Sue. Behind the resonance, this is the code that overrides genes and energy, and the code stored in some unknown form indicates that the center of the energy system that constructs the Templar, the Home Arena, and the Resting Place has a subtle connection with the dark heart in Su's body, and may come from oneness. Having obtained the secrets of the depths of the resting place may be able to correct the core of Medirri's body, or at least delay her fate in the most glorious moment of her life.

Sue doesn't know if Medirri knows her fate, but he decides to rewrite the ending of the story with his own hands. Just like seventeen years ago, he took over her as an infant.

Su grabbed the handrails with both hands, and his body struggled over the guardrail in a stiff and peculiar posture, falling on the other side of the rotating staircase with a thud, and rolling more than a dozen steps in a row before stopping. Once again, he slowly got up, grabbed the handrail, climbed, climbed, and fell down again. Each time this process is repeated, he goes several meters underground.

Sue's movements were slow and heavy, like a living corpse that had just woken up. But a strange scene suddenly appeared, and when he stood up again, instead of continuing down, he climbed the stairs and walked towards the exit on the ground. His legs seemed to have a will of their own, and he resolutely climbed upwards despite Sue's wishes. Su's left eye flashed, and his right hand swung down like lightning, and it actually pierced deep into his right leg! The fingertips vibrated at high frequencies, destroying the only functioning muscles in the right leg.

With a thud, Sue fell down again, tumbling down the steps. His body was like a cloth bag full of old things, constantly colliding with the cold, hard walls and steps, making a dull sound.

When Sue finally stopped, he couldn't stand up for a while. His handsome face was completely distorted, and a lot of sweat was pouring out of his somewhat energetic skin, and he could see that the muscle fibers under the skin were twisted. The extreme pain has exceeded the limit of what words can depict, even Sue is unbearable, and the will is on the verge of collapse in the impact of a ** pain! This is a war within the body of the Soviet Union, a counterattack launched by instinct.

The end of the staircase is not heaven, but hell.

Su has taken on certain characteristics of superlife, such as the ability to resurrect incredibly strong. He can survive in almost any environment, at least not yet, with no signs of being constrained by lifespan. In other words, Sue's life may have grown to the point of nearing immortality. But another characteristic of superlife is the extreme importance of the survival instinct. In any case, survival is the number one option. Because for super life, as long as you live, you will have a qiē.

If he walked down the stairs, Su knew that the life that was sleeping deep underground was not at all comparable to his current self. Especially when he was seriously injured and dying, there was little chance of escape.

In the battle in the Sanctuary, although the old man faced was far stronger than Sue, the physical instinct was still overloaded and calculated that the probability of winning was still relatively high, and the probability of successfully escaping was more than two-thirds. In the ensuing desperate battle, the whole process was as Su calculated, without a single deviation. Even the time and manner in which the old man fell was expected. The old man is very powerful and has a lot of combat experience, but he is still a human being, and if he is a human being, he will make mistakes, and there will be ups and downs. And Su is a machine, an extremely accurate war machine, capable of blasting out 50 tons of power, and will never have only 49.9 tons of output. But in his current state, no matter how lucky he is to face the horrors deep underground, he will not have a chance to get lucky.

Sue is well aware of this, the problem is that the instinct that is awakening is also very clear. Su's will currently has supreme control over many parts of the body, and the instinctive means of counterattacking is cell-level pain in order to destroy Su's own will, control the body, and escape from the impending destruction.

Thus, the first real war between Su's will and instinct broke out, and the battlefield was every cell in the body that was still alive.

Su knew that his instinct was so strong that he couldn't touch the edge. And he didn't know how strong his will was, and he couldn't think about it at all. In the midst of the impact of trillions of billions of painful pounds, he couldn't even complete the process he thought about.

If there were still people, all he saw was that Su climbed over the railing, fell down, stood up, and climbed over the railing, and so on. D
