Chapter 53: Thunder Angel
"I thought death was the opposite of life. β
"No, Shrike, at first glance you have forgotten the note left by Master Garence, death and life are one and the same, loneliness is the enemy of all existence, even death is afraid of loneliness. β
Aaron patted his head helplessly, "Okay, Aldridge doesn't need to show off your knowledge, I think you are also the Zachariah you just asked, the first important thing is whether Cleo can stop Zoroaster." β
"I'm not sure," Ulliel said, worried, "we've never really tested the performance of the first machine, and in fact I don't have any confidence in her, Outlander, you hurry up and prepare." β
................
"Oh, the Tartarus Protocol, my father's creation, now against me!"
Zoroaster's eyes were filled with scarlet energy, and he didn't give the first machine a chance to react, and two thick beams of light shot into the smoke and caused another violent explosion.
"Boom!"
"What.....!"
Zoroaster's voice stopped abruptly, the ground shook slightly, and ahead, in the flames of the explosion, a slender figure, walked out like a walking corpse, with a wild bestiality and silent silence, and finally his appearance was revealed to everyone, purple armor with green stripes (restraints), a tall and thin figure, two protruding armor plates on his shoulders, and a long single horn on his head.
The only thing that was different from what I remembered, the creature called the First Machine was growling with its mouth wide open.
"Idiot, what does that level of attack do to a creature modeled after Garence, you can't even break his A.T force field," Cleopatra manipulated the first machine in a semi-rampage state to approach step by step, "try this." β
The first machine leaned over and half-knelt, grabbed the ground with both hands, and kicked forward with his hind feet, and in an instant the ground cracked a fan-shaped gap, and the wind blew by Odin's side, and he had to stick his spear into the ground to create a magical barrier to stabilize his body, while Laufey used the ancient winter coffin to freeze himself on the ground and erect an ice wall in front of him.
The two behemoths roared and attacked each other with the deadliest moves, and the first machine grabbed Zoroaster on the head with a knee, and before he could get up, he slammed Zoroaster to the ground with his right hand in the back of the neck, smashing Zoroaster to the ground twice, smashing a cobweb-shaped crack.
The shoulder armor opened, and the first machine removed the high-vibration particle knife that ejected, preparing to cut off Zoroaster's head.
Skyship, control room
"Signal capture, there is a high-energy reaction inside the other party, Clio, your A.T force field strength is not enough, dodge quickly!"
Zoroaster's body lit up with countless white dots in an instant, and the polar night suddenly flashed with blinding white light, and then the hemispherical pure white blast blast wave continued to expand with Zoroaster as the center, until it enveloped everything within ten kilometers of the surrounding area.
Outlander looked at the suffocating scene below on the spaceship, her heart, which had not been beating for thousands of years, even tightened unconsciously, "What level of explosion is this!"
Earthquake, real earthquake, this explosion is far from being comparable to the kind of ray that just annihilated the frost giant, even if the gas spewed out crushed many hills, not to mention the village of Tensberg Road not far away, although Odin deliberately distanced the battlefield, but in the face of this level of explosion, the distance is only a difference in the way of death for humans.
At this moment, the elderly god king Odin tried his best to maintain the magic barrier, as the guardian of the Nine Realms, he used most of his magic power to maintain the Nine Realms, he was already in a weak period at all times, he could only barely save himself in this explosion, the raging flames split into two columns in front of the scepter, and then closed together behind him, Odin couldn't look and didn't want to look at his soldiers, he knew the outcome of the matter very well, but this was already the best plan he could do, the bad luck would not stop, it would be good if this guy died here, but if not, today these thousands of soldiers were sacrificed, tomorrow, will the fate of Asgard end in his own handsοΌ
Odin glanced sadly at Laufey's position, his long-time nemesis turned into a black phantom in the explosion, the artifact they relied on for survival failed to protect him in that most critical fraction of a second, and his fate as the most heat-sensitive frost giant can be imagined.
"Can you hear me, Clio!"
Ulliel kept asking in the command room, hoping for an answer from the communicator, even in the weakest voice.
But it backfired, and Zoroaster's angry cry was heard from underground.
"Ah!!!!!h
Zoroaster looked up and gasped, the splatter-shaped scorched black marks beneath his feet smoothed everything out, leaving only a deep pit within a radius of ten kilometers to the ground.
"The first aircraft fell silent, and the pilot's vital signs were stable but unconscious. β
Technicians reported the data to Ulliel immediately after the aftermath ended.
"Well, it's a good thing, it should be the recovery power of the vampire bloodline that allowed her to survive this blow. β
"That's just one aspect, sister, what are we going to do with Zoroaster after that," Aldridge asked.
"Don't need us," suddenly Zachariah's face filled with confidence, "the person he fears the most is coming." β
"You mean!" a pinprick signal entered the brains of each Patriarch, and this feeling could only happen in one case.
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke, "Wow!" Odin knelt on the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood, "What kind of creatures are these guys, they don't even die like this!" Odin turned back in embarrassment, and the thousand Asgardian soldiers behind him were now only a little molten metal on the ground and a foul smell in the air.
Odin understands that he must go back, he must do a good job of Asgard's defense in advance, he has done his best for the earth, and at the beginning of the war, he left the Cosmic Rubik's Cube in the treasure trove to the villagers of Tensberg Dao, although he just wanted to hide the Rubik's Cube in a place where other cosmic forces could not find it, but if one day humans could use it.
"No, it can't be," Odin shook his head, "Humans are too weak to use the Cosmic Rubik's Cube. β
Just as I was thinking about it, a coughing voice suddenly came from the side, "Cough, cough!"
"Who is it?"
"O'..... Odin," he looked at the rock next to him, and it was Laufey, who was not dead!
At this time, Laufi was lying on the ground weakly, the ancient winter coffin only saved his upper body, but his two legs were long gone, although he was not dead, but it was almost, "Odin, I know, you don't want to kill people after Hela, right, I'm already defeated, you won't kill me, right, take me to Jotunheim, I swear not to attack anywhere again, those frost giants need me, otherwise the war will happen again, you don't want to see this situation, right." β
Although they have been enemies for many years, Odin has to admit that Laufey's idea is right, "Okay, I'll take you back, but I'll take the winter coffin." β
"Odin, how can you!"
"Don't struggle, Laufey, you don't have a choice now!"
After hesitating for a while, Laufey finally gave up, "Take it, Odin, I think I'm unlucky." β
"I need to drag you to safety, it will take time for the Rainbow Bridge to open, and I'm not sure if the monster will be able to react if it's short. β
"Oh, the god-king who conquered the flame giant Surtr has finally learned to retreat?"
"Shut up, Laufey, I'm old, Saul has only just been born, and I would have fought to the death before, but Asgard still needs me in this fragile time. β
.........
Zoroaster grabbed the first machine by the neck, losing consciousness as a pilot, and all he had left was a shell.
Buzz~
Suddenly, the sound of an alarm sounded in the heavens and the earth, as if to warn the people that something terrible was coming.
The sea rippled slightly, and a blue octahedron split through the mist and landed in TΓΆnsberg.
"He's coming!" Zoroas, in a solemn tone, threw away the first machine casually, and he faced the blue octahedron, which he knew very well.
"Living Flying Fortress, Thunder Angel, Lemuel!"
In fact, Zoroaster's description is not accurate enough, and he is now facing the Thunder Angel who is powered by the seven apostolic cores.
"What's that?"
Odin looked cautiously at the horizon, and a strange blue object slowly approached, so that the black pharaoh did not dare to act rashly.
Airplanes!
The Thunder Angel suddenly transformed, opening three layers of blue pentagram like petals, and the apostle core in the center lit up the energy storage, and Odin felt the energy contained in it just by the sound of the high-frequency charge.
"Are you completely apostolized! No wonder you can escape from bondage!"
A crisp burst of rays sounded, and Garence didn't want to pay attention to Zoroaster's boring words at all, and the accelerated particle cannon shot directly out, hitting Zoroaster head-on.
"Damn it!"
Zoroaster wanted to escape, he didn't have the Apostle's A.T force field, and it was undoubtedly stupid to confront Garence head-on, but the range of the particle cannon was too large, enough for his two positions, and the beam speed was extremely fast, and he didn't have time to dodge it.
The yellow death light enveloped everything, and the earth, which had not cooled in the last explosion, was heated again, rising to an even more terrifying temperature, and the ground melted with the trajectory of the particle cannon, and the entire land of Zoroaster, including Zoroaster, was cut open, and the snow-capped mountains were like a thin sheet of white paper, which lasted less than a second in front of the particle cannon before it was pierced.
"See, Odin, this is the wrath of God. β
"Laufey, if you don't shut up, I'll really give you a taste of God's wrath. β
After the first shot, Garence did not turn back into a regular octahedron, but continued to transform into a cross structure, with a core in the four positions of the upper and lower sides, and because it was supported by seven cores, he could fire two accelerated particle cannons in a row without recharging.
"No!"
Zoroaster's voice came from the ruins, and he struggled to crawl out of the center of the mountain, his body like a fiery ember, his right hand and half of his body were gone, and all his wounds were charred and wisps of green smoke came out.
"I can't die here! I can't die here!"
Zoroaster raised his left hand and slapped it on the ground, a red magic array enveloping his entire body, and just before Garence's second particle cannon arrived, he disappeared in place.
"Looks like the war is over, Odin, take me back. β
"Dead or gone?" asked the shrike in confusion.
"Teleported away, my eyes caught him leaving, and don't forget that I'm much faster than you. Aaron pointed to his eyes and legs.
"Don't take it lightly, although this war is over, but later, Zoroaster fled, this is a hidden danger, and more importantly, we don't have a way to completely resist him for the time being, now it's important to rescue the first plane, remember to back up the data of this battle, we have to strengthen the ability of the first plane, and upgrade the entire Tartarus protocol. β
"Yes, sir. β
Aaron put his hands on his waist and bowed with a contrived expression on his face.
