Chapter 16: The Future
Izawa sat quietly in the desert of Shurima, his whole body slumped, and he was covered by the wind and sand. The wind and sand slammed down on his handsome but lifeless pale face, his eyes lowered, his body motionless, and he looked at it from afar, as if he were dead.
It hurts, my heart, it hurts. Everything, it's over, everything, it's lost its meaning. Heart, so bitter that I can't breathe.
Ahri, Ahri······
He didn't have a tear, because his tears had long since dried up.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in Shurima's blue sky. For a moment, the crack closed silently, as if it had never existed.
And in front of Izawa, a tall man appeared, and the black power suit wrapped his whole body. In his hand was a strange weapon, one end of which was hammer-shaped, with a pale blue point of light that glowed with a strange brilliance in the middle, and a bulge above the middle, which formed a small space with the two ends, and perfectly matched the point of light in it. A long black stick supports it, and the metallic luster of the delicate long stick gives people an extraordinary and unique atmosphere.
"Oh, Valoran, I'm back. His voice was sonorous and powerful, with an inexplicable vicissitudes that did not match his age at all, "Isn't it very good luck to land on the Shurima Continent." Hey, why is there someone here?"
The tall man squinted slightly, looking at Ize, who was lifeless and seemed to have lost consciousness, "Hey, why did you come here? Who are you?"
Izawa hung his head and remained motionless, as if he had died.
"······ still breathing" The tall man muttered to himself, "Was it thrown here by an angel or a demon?" or was it ······?"
"I'm a piece of shit. Although the tall man's voice was soft, Ize could hear it very clearly. He unconsciously clenched his hands, his nails digging deep into his palms, and the blood that had completely cooled his nails stained his nails red, a bleak and weak red. His voice was hoarse and bitter, in his originally handsome eyes, the whirlpool of revenge was condensed and churning, he bit the corner of his mouth, and a wisp of blood red slid across the corner of his mouth, "Seeing her fall in front of me, I can't do anything, I don't even have the strength to stand in front of her, I'm a waste, I, I'm ·······"
Izawa opened his bitter lips and tried to continue, only to find that he had completely lost the ability to speak.
"It seems that Kyle and Morgana have caused you far more pain than I thought. Looking at Izawa, whose face was full of pain and sorrow, the tall man frowned thoughtfully.
The wind and sand raged in the piercing whistling, Izawa lowered his head, and the tall man also lowered his head, both of them silent.
"What's your name?" asked the tall man softly with a long sigh.
"I ······ My name is Ezreal······" An unfamiliar but somewhat familiar name spat out of Izawa's mouth.
"Do you want to gain power?" the tall man asked lightly as he pointed the strange weapon in his hand at Ize.
"How powerful?" Izawa still lowered his head, but his body trembled visibly, and there was a hint of hope in his words.
"It's as good as what you say," the tall man's voice was soft, but every word was heavily typed in Izawa's heart, "God." ”
Hearing this, Ize raised his head suddenly, and the despair in his eyes faded.
"I'm going to do something very important now," the tall man held the strange weapon in front of him and stared at the pale blue point of light, "If you promise to do three things for me, I can give you strength, comparable to the power of God." ”
"I promise you!" Rising from the ground suddenly, Ize's eyes flashed with a fiery light, "As long as you can give me the strength to do anything." Although the tall man's words made Izawa suspicious, he would not give up any opportunity to become stronger, as long as he could become stronger, even if he sold his soul, he was willing. In order to be strong, in order to, Ahri······
"Good. Looking at the light in Ize's eyes, the tall man nodded lightly, stroked the strange weapon with his left hand, and gently and slowly took out the blue light point in it, and the light point floated lightly in his hand, as if it was about to disappear.
"Touch it. The tall man cautiously handed the point of light to Izawa, his movements slow, his eyes full of solemnity.
Without hesitation, Izawa quickly reached out and touched the point of light. The moment Izawa touched the point of light, an extremely bright light completely enveloped Ize with the disappearance of the point of light. The blinding light seemed to burn Izawa's eyes.
A warm halo slowly weaved and intersected on Ize's body, and streams of pure energy quickly entered Ize's body. Ize felt very clearly that his strength was increasing little by little, and in the swirling and interweaving of energy, a faint but extremely clear cold electronic sound slowly sounded in Izawa's ears.
"Initializing the boot sequence of the Future Warrior, is it allowed?"
Izawa was stunned and at a loss.
"Initializing the boot sequence of the Future Soldier, is it allowed?" repeated the cold electronic tone.
"Allowed. It was only after the electronic sound was repeated three times that Izawa came back to his senses, and he said subconsciously.
"Jet reaction device, connected. "Melt-core, activated. "Pulse Flame Particle Cannon, test complete. "" particle program, turned on. ""Tactical jetpack, energy-level scanner, logged in. ”
············
Silently listening to the words he didn't understand at all, feeling the pure and powerful energy, Ize suddenly felt that what the tall man said might be true.
The tall man stood quietly, his back straight, looking at Izawa, who was completely enveloped in light, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Suitable test ......
"The equipment has been activated. ”
After the last electronic sound sounded clearly, the blinding light that enveloped Ize gradually dimmed. A white figure appeared in front of the tall man in a powerful momentum. As if a powerful knight who had received the baptism of the gods, Ize at this time had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Dressed in bright silver mechanical armor with a terrifying icy sheen, his left hand is a delicate, but not fancy, mechanical cannon, his left hand is completely submerged in the mechanical cannon, the muzzle of the cannon is cold, and the blue light with a destructive aura is faintly flickering; his right eye is covered by a blue transparent lens, through this lens, Izawa can see a lot of things, and even what he thinks in his heart can be reflected on the lens through the picture; the fierce momentum comes out of his body, and the energy that tears through the space flies wildly in the sky above Shurima。
"It's a good fit for you, future warrior Ezreal. Looking at Ize, whose gaze was no longer dull and had become clear and pure, the tall man smiled, "I hope you can become its eternal master." ”
"Three things you want me to do for you. You can say it now," Izawa's voice has a unique metallic flavor that seems to have been transmitted through a century, full of contemporary feeling.
Strength, such a powerful force. It was the only thought that existed in Izawa's mind, and his confused heart was no longer confused, because he saw hope. Once I've done the three things he's told me to do, I'm going to go to Zelas and drive the angels and demons out of our continent.
What was once thought to be gone because of his weakness seems to appear in his heart again.
Assertive.
"Because I have an urgent matter that I can't get out of, the first thing I want to ask you to protect this continent no matter what. The tall man smiled, and then said with a straight face, his eyes were resolute and dignified, "There are many kind and beautiful people on this continent, I don't think you want to see this continent destroyed in the flames of war." ”
"Of course," Izawa paused, then nodded solemnly, "This is my duty, even if I lose my life, I will protect our home." ”
"Very well," the tall man nodded, patted Izawa on the shoulder with satisfaction, and continued, "I'll definitely come to help you when I'm done with the urgent business over there." ”
"Hmm. Izawa answered. He believed that the tall man in front of him had this power. Just by the suit he gave himself called the "Future Soldier", he was extraordinary, "I look forward to fighting alongside you." ”
"The second thing, I want you to gather strength. The tall man nodded lightly, "I need you to gather the elites of the continent." ”
"Elite?" said Izawa softly.
"Yes," the tall man caught the look on Izawa's face, "I need you to set Kyle and Morgana on this continent and break down the barrier that completely separates Valoran from the outside world. ”
"Kyle and Morgana are kings of angels and demons, right?" Iza narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"Yes. Kyle, the Angel of Judgment, is the ruler of the angels. The fallen angel Morgana is the queen of demons. The tall man patiently explained that this was the information provided by the guy who had asked him for help.
"Okay, I see, I'll do my best to break down the barrier by all means. Looking at the gray sky, Izawa nodded heavily. It may be difficult, but he will try his best, because at this time he feels that he may really have the power of God.
"Hmm. The tall man smiled slightly, and waved the strange weapon in his hand lightly, and the yellow light slowly appeared on it; one by one, as if the light that had become substance, quickly converged to one end of the weapon; the tall man slowly flipped the weapon over, and the pale yellow light slowly fell in front of him, forming a halo like mist, and the halo slowly expanded, gradually condensed, and finally formed a pale yellow aura.
Izawa was stunned.
"As for the third condition, I'll tell you when we meet next time. The tall man walked towards the aperture with big strides without looking back, "By the way, my name is Jace, the future guardian Jace. ”
Walking to the aperture, Jace suddenly stopped and glanced at Ize, in which he saw a lot of things.
"By the way, God is invincible in your eyes. But is God really invincible? Has none of you ever thought that God really is the pinnacle of existence in this world?"
Jace's voice was loud and powerful, resounding through the sky, as if it had come from eternity, piercing Ize's eardrums.
"God, is it really invincible?" Izawa muttered the same sentence as he looked at Jace, who had entered the aperture and disappeared in place. Jace's words lingered in his head for a long time.
