Chapter 15: The Birds of Songmeng
"Cedar, Cedar," a tired female voice gently awakened Cedar's consciousness, "it's time for you to wake up, they're back." β
Cedar opened his eyes with difficulty, and with a movement of his hand, the demon sword "Blue and White Meditation" fell to the ground, making a loud sound.
β...... Ah, I'm sorry, Tobu-e!" the sober-minded Cedar hurriedly jumped down and picked up the green sword.
"It doesn't matter. Nobueda replied softly, "The other synths, they're back. β
β...... Harden, are they back?" asked Cedar in surprise, sling the green sword around her waist and rushing out immediately.
The first thing he saw was Jean, who was talking to the Nine Emperors.
"Ah, Komatsu, you're awake," Jean smiled at him and looked at the green sword at his waist, "It's been a long time, Sister Noboreeda." I'm Jean Ronners, and I hope you still have an impression of me. β
"Of course, I don't know much about the situation, but I don't know much about it, but I don't think it's your credit for being woken up, thank you. Nobue responded calmly.
"Mr. Jean ......"
"What do you want to ask me? Jean's look was serious, he stared at Cedar, "Komatsu, you have to accept the fact that we lost a lot of our comrades during the interruption of combat communications......"
Cedar looked at him in astonishment, as if it were incredible.
So Jean sighed lightly: "Among them, including Xiaohui, Yunhe, and ...... we know Known as the goddess of war of the rebels, Paris Shiloh ......"
β...... How could it be ......" Cedar muttered blankly.
"Go meet Harden, and Abel, whom you don't know yet. Jean tugged at him, "Now is not the time to be sentimental. β
Before they could get closer, they heard the sobs of the cranes. Snow Crane crouched on the table, while TΓ©a and Selena, who were also full of sadness, spoke softly and comfortingly.
"Ah, Zhou Xuesong. With a bad face, Harden looked up slightly, "Although it's not the right time...... However, congratulations on the success. β
"Thank you...... But it's not the right time. Cedar looked worriedly at Snow Crane and Ataya and Ivan, "At this time...... I don't know what to say......"
"Don't cry, Cedar. Ivan smiled bitterly, looking haggard, "I can't be immersed in sadness now......
"Ivan, what's wrong with you, why are you in a wheelchairβ" Cedar hurriedly walked over to check on the situation.
"It's okay, it's just that I can't move for the time being, it's going to be fine......" Ivan said optimistically, "it's okay." β
"This guy almost died, too. Harden explained, "I heard that it was really out of breath, and it scared everyone...... But it's really fateful, who called his contract monster a primordial synthetic beast...... The primordial synth took La NiΓ±a's 'immortality' and saved him. β
"The eldest sister has been buried in Ceperos. Ivan lowered his head, "Really, even the Boss couldn't save ......"
He Qihui was also buried in Seperos. Harden's voice was also very low, "and Jiang Yunhe ...... In fact, he had just died of serious injuries, and now he can still see his body. The pineapple head went to see him, and he hasn't come back yet. β
"Eh?......" Cedar looked around the room, not seeing an unfamiliar face, so she nodded, "...... Abel, right?"
"It's a pity. Jean whispered, "Now come over here, okay?" Komatsu, Harden, Ivan, and Sally, Tya, and Ellie. β
Following Jean and Cedar, they entered another room.
"You're here. He Yanfang nodded to them, "Sit down." This is Abel, Xenomorph Six. β
The blonde boy with a resolute and stoic face raised his head, his delicate face was slightly thin, and the slightly long blonde hair that was tied up haphazardly still had traces of battle blood, which really looked a bit like a bloody pineapple. Although he was tired, his blue eyes were still bright: "Hello, I'm Abel Rettan, and I'm Yunhe's pen pal. β
"We've heard about you from Yunhe, and you're amazing, Abel. Ivan smiled at him, his voice still a little shaky.
"Marise and Meng Jin are still on the front lines, but we're basically together. He Yanfang looked around at everyone.
"Senior, then we ......" Selena looked at He Yanfang suspiciously, while Tya and Ellie also nodded.
"That's right, I think you also have what it takes to be a synth contractor. Jean said slowly, "I haven't identified a synth that can match you yet, though. β
"So, I'm also Mr. Jean, you've chosen?" asked Cedar, surprised.
"Yes, Nobore-eda-san's personality and abilities are a good match for you, aren't they?" Jean smiled bitterly at Cematsu, "However, I didn't expect the process of completing the contract to be so thrilling, I'm sorry, Komatsu." β
"No, it's okay, I'm grateful to you and Noborea. Cedar shook her head, then looked at Abel, "So, is Abel looking for a contractor? Mr. He and Mr. Jean ...... you?"
"It's not certain, but you can take your time. Now it is more important to use your abilities well. Jean looked at them, "First of all, we can proudly say that we are very strong. After confirming this, let's start to get to know each other and cooperate with each other. β
"At present, the strongest is Ivan who has the number one of the xenomorphs, as the original power that can manipulate the infinite demons, although he can't fight for a long time because of the excessive consumption speed, but Ivan you are a well-deserved leader. He Yanfang looked at the haggard Ivan, "Can you let the Demon Dao Master talk to us?"
Ivan shook his head: "I'm sorry, but the Lord has always been able to have a soul conversation with me, can I convey a message to him?"
"Is that so...... Actually, it's nothing, we just don't understand the attitude of the Lord, and if he respects your wishes, it doesn't matter. He Yanfang nodded, "I want to explain to you here, in a synthetic beast, if you can talk and manifest a human form independently, it means that its potential is basically revealed - in other words, the Leader, Dimon, and Dengzhi still have a lot of potential for development, and they can continue to challenge their limits." β
"Is it? Over the years, Dimon's strength and I don't seem to have changed much, and not long ago, we still worked hard to use Hongxia and 'Red Death'. "Harden is a little upset.
"Harden, you don't have a lot of great opponents, and you haven't been able to reach your potential. You can now understand why the Empress raised you as the Avengers, she doesn't want you to be stronger. Jean analyzed, "Harden, you and Dimon are superbreed No. 2, and there are very few people who can compare to you in terms of actual combat effectiveness." The Mutant Power of Destruction and Rebirth is precious, but for now, you're better suited to fight alone, as your ability is an indiscriminate wide-area attack. At this point, it is easier for the Meng Jin brothers and sisters to cooperate in the battle than you. β
"Fortunately, Harden Jr.'s independent judgment and reaction are very good. Dimon interjected, "However, Harden Jr. really should practice high-precision manipulation, and it's not good to act independently." β
"I've been training all the time. Harden looked slightly distressed.
"When it comes to staying power and actual attack, Harden you're the best, so of course you're the trump card. Jean said, "And when it comes to overall assistance, Mr. He's 'Soul Shock' and Komatsu and Nominee Sister's 'Purification and Rejuvenation' are very practical, and Komatsu can also take on emergency medical treatment, and with 'Wuyu no Jiling', it is really our blood bank." Come on practice, we need you so much, Komatsu. β
"Eh?ββ good, I'll do my best to learn!" Cedar nodded hurriedly, his fists clenched tightly, as if he was holding the strength he had hoped for in his hands.
"And Abel's 'sensory extension' is also very valuable and can make favorable judgments for us. Abel is very calm and sharp, and he is also very able to endure hardships. His current physical skills are also very good, but his offensive spells are still insufficient, and we need to cooperate. Then, even if Jean is our restraint, suppressing our rampage and weakening our opponents' abilities, the disgusting fluctuations are too much for me to bear. He Yanfang glanced at Jean, "However, Jean is really a well-deserved hero, and the joint plan of the Synthetic Beast is all Jean's idea." β
"Mr. He, you rarely compliment me, surprise. Jean smiled, "Actually, it's because of weakness that I think of union." My abilities were at a disadvantage from the start, and I had to seek a coalition in order not to be killed by the Synth Hunters. Later, I found out that I was not the only synthetic beast with weak combat effectiveness...... I'm gradually discovering that other synths can make sense, and it's much easier - why should we kill each other and fight the strongest? We haven't been able to unite all the synths yet, but at least we've got together. Hua Ye - 'Qingyu' Kluet, he is also a member of the alliance I want to unite, but he is very willful and still not firm enough. β
"That β beast is not saved!" He Yanfang showed a disgusted expression, "I just want him to disappear!"
"Krut, that β beast, if I could serve him a lifetime of food, I guess I would agree!" Dimon laughed.
"Dimont, do you know Klut?" Cedar was surprised.
"We've pretty much met with synths. Dumont replied, "Anyway, we're a formed alliance now, right? β
"Either way, it wasn't an easy fight. He Yanfang's gaze swept over everyone's faces, "It is my long-cherished wish to defeat the Demon King, and I will definitely fight to the last breath." And every synth has the consciousness of fighting to the death, right?"
"Of course, even the Demon King can't let go of the guy who prevents me from enjoying life!" Dimon laughed.
"Come on!" Ivan held out his hand.
One after another, everyone's hands were clasped together.
"Are you still dissatisfied with the status quo?" looked at Jean, He Yanfang asked.
"Why, I'm just, convinced that there's more to our power than that. Jean smiled and stretched out his hand, placing it firmly on everyone's hands, "If you are afraid of death, cut through the darkness and shout loudly!"
Surrounded by death, they are united like a flock of birds besieged by the cold winter, but even so, the cedars cheer up and sing the dream towards the cruel reality.
The battle has just begun! Carving dreams with interlaced scars, they declare war on the Dark Empire!

"The cold lasted for weeks, and the birds died quickly. In the fields and under the hedges, the bloody clothes of countless rotting birds, such as field stalks, starlings, and thrushes, were scattered, and the flesh of the birds had been eaten by the secret gourmets.
"Suddenly, one early morning, a change occurred. The wind blew to the south, and warmth and solace drifted to the sea. In the afternoon, the sun showed a few stars, and the doves began to cooing uninterruptedly, slowly and awkwardly. The voice seemed a little struggling, as if it had not yet recovered from the blow of the harsh winter. At dusk, the faint chirping of wild birds began to be heard from the rose thorn bushes along the riverside.
"How could they suddenly sing when the earth was still littered with a thick layer of bird carcasses? When the earth is still in bondage, the small sound of Qingyue has called for spring in the weak air. Their cries, muffled and intermittent, threw their bright and germinating sounds into the sky.
"Where did it come from? The song, how could the birds come back so quickly after such a long period of harshness? It was lively, like a spring, and from there spring slowly dripped and gushed out. The new life condenses into a pleasant sound in the throats of the birds, and it opens up a silver passage for the fresh spring day, all the way to the murmur.
"When winter suppresses everything, the vitality of spring, which is buried deep, is silent, only waiting for the heavy obstacles of the old order to recede. After the ice melted, a kingdom of silver light appeared in an instant. Beneath the devastating waves of winter, lies the potential of precious flowers.
"There is no need to look at the broken bird carcasses that expose the wilderness, and there is no need to remember the dull thunder in the bitter cold and the cold that weighs on us. Winter is gone, and no matter what, our hearts will let out a song.
"The world can't choose. We follow with our eyes the horrific bloodstained procession of extreme winter until it passes. Spring cannot be suppressed, no force can make the birds quiet, no can stop the boiling of the great wild pigeon, cannot hold back the abundant creation of the good world, they inexorably cheer themselves up and come to us.
"What a long, long winter, the ice cracked only yesterday...... We know that it was winter, long and terrifying. We know that the earth is suffocated and mutilated. We know that the flesh of life is torn apart and scattered everywhere. All the destruction and tearing, ah, yes, the past has come upon us, has surrounded us.
"Death has seized us, and everything is broken, and we have sunk into darkness.
"Pigeons, turtledoves, thrushes...... They can't stop singing. They threw themselves into it, despite the destruction of their companions yesterday. They cannot mourn, they cannot be silent, they cannot follow death. If it dies, let it die. Now life inspires and sways to a new heaven, a new heaven, where they can't help but sing, as if they have always been so blazing.
"From the song of the birds, we hear the first burst of this change. In the bottom of our hearts, the spring is surging, inspiring us to move forward. Who can resist the impulse of life that comes, and it comes down to us from a strange place, and gives us a ride on the fresh breeze that blows from heaven, like a bird born to die. β

Preview: "I really didn't expect that we could see the two demon swords of 'Bo Hong' and 'Blue and White Meditation' at the same time." With a nostalgic smile, He Yanfang whispered.
"Are these two weapons related?" asked Cedar, rubbing her pale blue sword.
"Komatsu, you don't know yet, do you?" Jean smiled slightly, "The 'Blue and White Meditation' you chose is a very famous demon sword - its original owner is the 'Evil Lord of Planting'......"
"Evil Lord ......" picked up the demon sword in shock, and Cedar couldn't stop looking at its frost blade, "So, what about Bo Hong?"
"Its original owner is," glanced at He Yanfang, and Jean replied softly, "Lower Bai Ze Yu Xuan......"
Instantly remembering the relationship between He Yanfang and Yu Xuan, who no longer existed, Cedar followed Harden's example and became silent.
"Mr. He!" After a while, he suddenly raised his head and looked at He Yanfang firmly, "I want to...... Your 'Court of Grievances' should contain memories of the Evil Lord of Cultivation, right?"
"Yes, it's not just about evil lords. He Yanfang nodded slightly, "What do you want to do, Cedar?"
Cedar looked at him: "I want to be strong...... For this purpose, I should learn the fighting methods of the Evil Lord, the pinnacle of plant manipulators......"
"You're going to fall into the devil's path, isn't it? Jean smiled, "What do you think, Mr. He?"
"It doesn't seem bad, while the fighting situation is still relaxed, it's good to learn about the past. Standing up, He Yanfang looked at Cedar and them, "Come with me, go and see the demon slaying battle thousands of years ago." β
