I hate multiple choice questions the most, not one of them.

This bastard thing can get me into a huge contradiction basically every time, whether it's a single choice or multiple choice, from childhood to adulthood, it's because of this bullshit question type that my test scores are always hovering on the edge of life and death, and if it weren't for my sister's average score being five points higher than mine, I wouldn't even dare to imagine what my childhood would have been like.

Well, I'll admit, the fact that I didn't necessarily pass a few times even without a multiple-choice question, that thing gave me at least a twenty-five percent success rate, wasn't it — decisively off topic.

Now I have a difficult choice before me, the only way to save Sylvia mentioned by Alaya is to awaken the soul.

I believe that Sister Angel's occult prowess will ensure the success of this complex soul magic, but I believe that my unfortunate negative character will allow the person who is eventually awakened to quietly become the most dangerous depraved apostle.

"Brother Sovereign," Alayy's reminder reminded me of the passage of time, "there is only one chance, and I have ...... Can't hold on for long......"

"Prepare for the magic ritual," I finally nodded firmly, "Alayya, is there anything you can do to increase the chances of Sylvia's soul awakening?" ”

"The soul is the most complex thing in the world, and even I can only guarantee the success of the awakening process itself, but who will awaken in the end...... Completely uncontrollable, both Sylvia and the Fallen Apostle have a fifty percent chance of awakening. ”

I knew that Sister Angel would never lie to me, so in the face of this painful multiple-choice question, I could only grit my teeth in the end: "Then let's start, if it is really Bella Vera who wakes up...... I had to let her die again. ”

I hope Viska can forgive me then, I can see that for the former "Sister Bella Vera", that little girl has always created a very bright and warm image in her heart, but except for herself, every one of us onlookers knows very well that it is just a false memory that Viska produced in her chaotic time, the real Bella Vera...... It is absolutely impossible to be a good man and a woman.

But we can't wait during this time, and now I really want to do one thing, and that's ...... Get the guy behind it all and throw it into the Ghost Reactor

What I hate most is being calculated, and what I hate even more is that even the people around me are calculated, and whoever uses Sylvia to deal with the Heling fleet will have him pay

"Let all the special operations teams on standby get my weapons ready, the intelligence officers and the Xiling hosts—I don't care what method they use, give me the source of the electromagnetic wave that caused Sylvia's rampage just now, and the information link will release all the clearances below the * level within twenty-four hours from now, no matter who it is, they are qualified to report their findings directly to me, and ...... Temporary freezing of human rights regulations on the top management of the school city. ”

After giving these instructions, I contacted Sandora, who was still in outer space, and everything should be considered in the worst place, if Alayya's attempt really failed, then we would probably have to fight an emperor-level fallen apostle on the ground, against an enemy of this level and all kinds of strange skills, the role that ordinary armies can play is really limited, and if Sandora joins, it is an indispensable combat force.

A few minutes later, Sandora arrived at the institute from the main flagship, and before that she had learned all about the situation through the spirit sharing, and naturally she was ready to fight an emperor-level corrupted apostle.

Although a considerable part of her spiritual power has now been spread in the universe to monitor the fragments of the star ring that may appear at any time, the strong spiritual power that Sandora has cultivated from the abyss is not so simple and will not be able to contribute enough.

"So, haven't you found the real culprit behind the scenes?"

Sandora spoke to me from the hallway after visiting Alaya and Sylvia in the research room, who were performing the soul activation ritual.

I smiled wryly and shook my head: "The most suspicious person should be Aresta, but we have been monitoring him and the information circulating in his pile of machines, the old guy has no idea what is going on in the road, and the real mastermind behind it is quite cautious, he must be waiting, if Sylvia finally blew himself up, then his goal will naturally be achieved, if he doesn't blow himself up, he can continue to hide at any time, and he will definitely not take any action before this." ”

"Cunning and cautious rabbit...... "Sandora muttered for a moment, then looked up, "but even if it is cunning, it will definitely need a nest, we just need to give it some stimulation next to the 'rabbit hole'......"

The location of the "rabbit hole" was quickly determined, and the hosts were able to determine the approximate location with little effort by analyzing the energy records around the institute during Sylvia's rampage.

The central area of the school city,Aresta's "ancient tomb",I really didn't expect that old fox to have such good acting skills,He even escaped the scanning of Xiling's host - in the case of all external contacts under information monitoring,How did he command all this remotely?

I raised my head and shouted to the door, "Vega, take your men and surround Aresta ......"

Before I could finish my sentence, Vega pushed the door open and walked in, "Sir, the situation has changed, the building where Aresta is hiding was completely closed thirty seconds ago and we received this ...... before it closed"

"A distress signal?"

I took the paper from Vega and almost dropped my jaw.

"Aresta's distress signal? What the hell is he talking about? ”

"Sir, I'm afraid this signal is true......" Vega blinked, his tone confused, "that central building is not only closed to any communication with the outside world, but even ...... Its energy system, we infiltrated the entire building, and there are only a small part of the backup power system that is still running, and those systems are being shut down one by one. ”

I was still suspected of Aresta conspiracing, but I was stunned when I heard this.

Turn off the energy system? That is, now the life support device of Aresta - it's over?

Although Aresta is a very powerful guy in terms of magical attainments, after all, he suffered heavy losses in the siege of that year, and now he can proudly stand at the peak of the dark power of this world with an old immortal attitude, it is entirely due to the credit of the soul chaser in the underworld known as the "enemy of Hades" and "Saihuatuo" in the medical world, and as far as I know, the current Aresta simply cannot leave the "simple, primitive, rough, and fragile" life support device in the mouth of the bubble, Although the latter gave the old fox a lifespan of 1,700 years and an unimaginable ability to think, it also became a cage in disguise.

In the original book, it was explained that the Soul Chaser of the Underworld had a remote control in his hand that could remotely control Aresta's life support device, and with this thing, he could terminate Aresta's life at any time, although because of the belief that "doctors cannot abandon patients", the Soul Chaser of the Underworld did not do so, but it fully illustrates one point: Aresta can't do without that pipe.

"Let's go."

After just a second of consideration, I made up my mind.

Whether or not Aresta was plotting a new conspiracy, the source of all the problems must be in that building.

Let Asa and her sister stay in the research institute at any time to prevent Bella Vera from waking up, and by the way, Viska who is a little emotionally unstable, while Sandora and I led Vega's scorpion soldiers to rush to Aresta's location.

There were hardly any pedestrians along the route, and although everyone knew that an ever-powerful space fleet was protecting the planet above their planet, the daily flashes of light across the sky and the images of the Earth's defenses being bombed by meteorites in various propaganda media made most people choose to hide in their homes - although it was not much safer, but at least gave them some psychological comfort.

The meteorite fall that happened not long ago should have spread all over the world, and under today's special circumstances, governments have also abandoned the policy of fooling the people that they have always used......

However, due to the vaccination long in advance, let the earthlings know that the fall of these three meteorites is under our control, and there will be no more meteorites to break through the defenses in the future, so the large-scale panic did not break out, of course, there is still a tense atmosphere.

Occasionally, I met a few pedestrians on the road, and they are no stranger to the "alien soldiers" now, except for the curious gaze and the kind bow to us, there is no unscrupulous onlooker or anything like that, it seems that in recent days, Zuotian Tears has led his team to participate in public welfare undertakings everywhere in the city, planting trees, looking for lost and found, and helping the old man cross the road is still fruitful, but it is the imperial soldiers who are suffering with her......

We didn't hide what we were doing, and in fact, it was no longer necessary for either side.

In the area near the center of the school park,Pedestrians on the road have finally disappeared completely.。

"This place has been completely emptied, and the human life response is zero."

Vega looked around briefly and came to a conclusion.

"The other party is waiting for us."

Sandora frowned and kept looking around, and under the influence of her ability, her gorgeous blonde hair seemed to be completely shaped by light, and as she moved, she continued to sprinkle bits of golden light - the last time I said dandruff didn't let this girl bite to death.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

Sandora frowned and said suspiciously, "No...... Maybe it's an illusion, I always feel that there is something very familiar here, very bad, but I didn't find anything. ”

Now we have come to the façade of the tall black building, which now looks lifeless due to the total interruption of the energy system, without a single light showing, like a tombstone in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"It seems that Aresta's distress signal is real," I felt the energy flow around me, "and if we don't come, he'll probably suffocate inside." ”

A petite brunette girl stood under the black building, facing the direction we were coming, and seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

It's weird everywhere.

"Please...... Please follow me...... The chairman wants only you and this blonde sister to go in......"

The little black-haired girl stepped forward quickly, and then whispered seemingly calmly.

Looking at the large group of menacing mecha scorpion soldiers, she was terrified.

"Isn't it? Your name. ”

I ignored the little girl's outstretched right hand to me and asked lightly.

"I ...... Be...... Yes, please follow me...... Chairman, he's waiting inside......"

The black-haired girl said mechanically as if she was reciting lines, but her eyes kept revealing some emotion to us: Help me.

Obviously, the strength of "his" can easily kill the disobedient knot Danxi, even if a layer of nuclear explosion-resistant composite materials is blocked in the middle.

"If you're talking about that old fox in Aresta, I'm guessing he's dying by now, well, and he's really waiting for us to go in."

The dark-haired girl's pupils constricted, and a look of horror spread over her face, but the next second, I reached out and gently pressed her head on top of her head.

Some kind of energy that was about to explode in her body was quickly dispersed to the Void Plane, and Yu Biao Tanxi's expression also changed, with surprise and gratitude for the rest of her life.

"Words of thanks will follow, now stay as far away from this place as possible, to the Xiling Institute, or any outpost with Imperial soldiers stationed, and they will protect you."

Needless to say, the knot bowed gratefully to me and ran away.

My spiritual power penetrated directly through the exterior walls of the building, and then reverberated throughout the building: "Aresta, I know that you are still alive, and if you have a breath, you can reply to me—what is going on?" ”

After a few seconds, Aresta's weak voice came back intermittently: "What a desperate shot...... I really didn't expect Ivus to do this...... In the end, it turns out that I am the one who really knows nothing......"

I really don't know if everyone will talk so much when they are dying.

Ivus? The "angel" summoned by Aresta? Why would a mythical creature in this world do this?

"Stranger, it is more difficult than I thought to deceive you."

Not long after he left, a voice suddenly rang out in our heads, and before I could be surprised, the whole space suddenly changed dramatically.

Walls of black, rectangular blocks of metal and crystal suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping a large space as far as the eye could see, and the sky above us let out a sharp whistling and then twisted into crystals—as if looking at the surface of the water through a kaleidoscope, and strange forms of energy filled the entire space, cutting us off from the outside world.

It looks like I've been thrown into another dimension.

"Dimensional Block," Sandora looked around calmly, "some kind of technique that resembles shadow space, I remember where I've seen it......"

"Soldier Defensive Formation"

Vega raised the long knife in his hand and shouted, and then dozens of armored scorpions immediately formed a three-layer circle, and the squeaky ghost shields were layered and intertwined, protecting Sandora and me inside.

"What a cautious attitude, stranger, I didn't expect you to have such a reaction like a great enemy...... I really want to see if you cry out when you are desperate like the civilizations you have destroyed."

With a burst of white light that suddenly pierced the wall, the black building in front of us was torn apart like a phantom, turning into black feathers flying in the sky, and in this strange spectacle, the white figure slowly descended from the burst of light.

"You're Ivus?"

I frowned as I looked at the humanoid luminous figure in front of me that was constantly shaking like a disturbed TV image.

In terms of image, the other party seems to have the appearance of a young woman, but the face is blurred, it can only be said that there is a faint human outline, and I am not even sure whether "it" is a "woman", behind this pale light and shadow there are two huge wings, but not stable and substantial wings like Alayya, but like the meaningless twisted silhouette after the fierce flame is suddenly frozen, the clumsy imitation of the angel, such a word suddenly appeared in my heart.

This is the first time I've seen pure energy creatures other than Alayah and Anvina (Sylvia's half-hung and jingle are not in my consideration), and the other party's strange shape makes me look at it a few more times, to be honest, as a behind-the-scenes **oss, Ivus's appearance is quite stylish.

While I was still curiously observing the luminous body in front of me, Sandora beside me was already frowning tightly, and her tone was low and cold: "Evosen...... You should have perished. ”

"Ha-stranger, I didn't expect you to remember the humble little races you destroyed, should I say, this is a little hobby of you invaders to show your personal honor......"

Ivus's voice had a strange tremor, sounding no sorrow or joy, but a great anger and hatred were suppressed from all around me like sticky mud, and I looked back at Sandora in surprise, and from their conversation, there seemed to be a great grudge?

Sandora's face was as cold as ice, and she said in a condescending tone: "I didn't expect there to be survivors, so, do you want to avenge your compatriots?" Or is it just to send them to death? ”

Evas laughed, at least I thought the weird low-frequency trills were laughing, "Stranger, you're still so haughty, but this time...... You will be defeated, and Iwason's ancestors will feast on your soul in the shadows, and your emperor disguised as a savior** will soon be wiped out by the self-explosion of your people."

"Yes," Sandora interrupted Ivas with a sudden snort, a coldness that was completely alien to me, "Avason...... I was truly impressed by your last rebellion. ”

The subtext of Sandora is quite obvious: your entire pre-genocide deathbed rebellion has only left a lasting impression on her.

Well, the ancient avenger Ivas vs. the iron-blooded commander Sandora, I think the plot is starting to hurt......
