Chapter 777: Hell on Earth
Soon, the tenth, the eleventh......
It was just a momentary stunned, and when Izakiren came back to his senses, only him and himself were left in front of him.
An endless coldness surged from those dark eyes, engulfing her everything.
It dawned on her that the mission might have been a mistake.
Now, she's sitting in front of the must-lose gamble and can't find any way to solve it.
For a moment, she even wanted to break the constraints of the death contract and take the way.
I had never expected such an unfolding and outcome, nor had I ever faced such a formidable opponent...... All the attacks could not surprise him even for a moment, and he maintained a palpitating calm and contempt throughout.
Step by step.
To the last enemy.
This may be the last task of the Ship of Greed.
Ren Isaki closed her eyes.
When I opened it again, I had already put life and death out of the way—
At that moment, under the peony blooming on the long robe, a rugged and hideous skeleton emerged.
Essentia flames lit up from her eyes, and the alchemical matrix implanted in the deepest part of her soul activated, incinerating the essentia of all the dead and the living.
Immediately afterwards, the heavens and the earth reversed, as if everything in the world was rapidly shattering, spinning, and recombining, turning the surrounding fog into a blurry illusion, engulfing everything.
In a trance, it seemed that a figure wearing a crown and a light wheel rose from the cracks in the earth, and appeared from behind Izakiren in a solemn posture.
At the cost of collecting souls, the rulers of the abyss descend mighty.
All the corpses on the ground were reduced to ashes, but the pale ashes gathered in Isaki's hands, forming a strange curved sword scythe.
"You shouldn't be coveting that good bottle of wine......"
Izagi Ren murmured softly, slowly, and raised the sword and sickle in his hand: "Come on, 'Huai Paper'-kun, let me understand the power of the Prince of Paradise!"
In that instant, a glow rose from the blade.
The sword of virtue burst out and chirped.
The heaven and earth condensed by this illusion shook violently, and the blazing light spread in all directions.
The poignant sound of collision erupted with the interlacing of figures.
At the moment of passing by, Izakiren's movements froze in place, and a small crack appeared on the sword sickle in his hand and on his neck.
Immediately after, as the bone sword in his hand collapsed, blood flowed out of the scars.
She raised her fingers with difficulty, stroked her throat, stared at the wisp of blood red on her fingertips, and couldn't help laughing: I can't even feel the pain, you are really gentle, Huai Zhijun......
Isaki fell to his knees.
As the last pillar collapsed, the secret ritual that maintained the blockade fell apart, and the fog quickly dissipated and steamed.
The silent world vanished without a trace.
Ruins, burning, rain, wailing, blood and fire, everything is back again.
Obviously everything was silent when he went, but now, in front of Huai Shi's eyes, the streets have burned out, and only thick smoke is billowing up.
He returned to this world of pain.
Just behind Huaishi, Isaki Ren's lips opened and closed with difficulty, as if staring at some non-existent person, saying something, but not hearing the voice.
Only under her, in the slow spreading, in the blood, a young face was reflected.
As a result, using this as a medium, phantoms that should not exist here appear in front of Huai Shi's eyes.
Standing in front of Huai Shi, admire everything burning in front of him with him.
Huai Shi frowned.
That's a ...... Child?
Black hair, black eyes, fair skin, like a Roman, staring at such a tragic scene, but with a detached and indifferent smile on his face.
Déjà vu.
The child who had a relationship with the general's mansion once again appeared in front of Huai Shi.
"Ah, you bloody earth, the body of the noblest hero of all time, forgive me for wrestling with these butchers. May woe befall the murderer who spilled such precious blood!"
The child strolled through the broken streets, as if he had come to his own stage, facing countless audiences, opening his hands and reciting an immortal quote from Shakespeare exaggeratedly:
"Thy wounds, like many speechless mouths, have opened their red lips and asked my tongue to plead to the world on their behalf, and I now prophesy in these wounds—that a curse will come upon the limbs of men, that a cruel and cruel civil strife will plunge this place into chaos, that bloodshed and destruction will become the fashion, and that all mercy will be utterly extinguished because of the habit of slaughter. ”
"Give the world a call for slaughter, and let the fierce dogs of war ravage everywhere!"
"For this heinous crime, the earth will be filled with groaning corpses begging for burial......"
The long monologue ended with an impassioned denunciation, but no one applauded.
Only Huai Shi's cold eyes looked at each other.
The boy looked back, looked at his face, and smiled, "It would take the Ship of Greed to be wiped out to get my meme to you...... It's not easy to see you, Huaishi. ”
Huai Shi was indifferent: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in playing with children." ”
“...... Kids?"
The child was stunned for a moment, his face immediately became strange, he didn't know whether he was stunned or admired, and couldn't help laughing: "In your eyes, I'm a child?
With his laughter, the phantom in front of Huai Shi's eyes began to change constantly.
From a young man to a gloomy and eccentric old man, a messenger who brings temptation like a devil, a bewitching and charming Oiran, a mature and elegant middle-aged man, a girl in white, a dying woman, a baby howling and crying in swaddling clothes.
They all have different postures and appearances, but all of them have black hair, black eyes, fair complexion, and their smiles are always full of detachment.
Eventually, the apparition shrinks, and countless images overlap.
Transformed into a young man who looked like a girl, wearing a black waistcoat and breeches, a white shirt, and holding a delicate horsewhip, he stepped on the wreckage of the ruins, and looked up and smiled at Huaishi.
"Introduce yourself, Huaishi. ”
He bent down and stroked his chest and saluted: "According to the records of my predecessor, you may call me William Robert Woodman......"
The boy smiled and introduced himself: "From the Golden Dawn - Woodman!"
From the dark eyes, the brilliant golden flame burst out, and the beautiful face reflected was special and solemn, like a god and Buddha, inviolable.
He is one of the three founders of the Elements of Destruction: Golden Dawn, the creator of Woodman from the Land of Nothing!
In the long silence, Huai Shi did not speak.
Look at him.
Imagine how you could logically pull the enraged Lord of the Flies out of his pocket and shoot him in the head.
"Don't be nervous, what remains here is just a phantom, and you can't feel the food even if you taste it, and you can't feel the warmth and cold even if you bathe in the rain. At best, it's just a video call......"
He glanced at Huai Shi's pocket with a smile, as if he knew what he wanted to do, and shrugged his shoulders slightly: "You don't have to take out the Lord of the Flies to pollute your ears, right?"
In the silence, only the angry roar of the Lord of the Flies in Huaishi's backpack: "How many years have Woodman been dead for me, you, and the horse, and what kind !!of garlic are you putting here?"
Woodman shrugged his shoulders, deaf to him, and the flickering phantom just looked at Huai Shi's face, and his eyebrows fluttered with emotion: I have to say, our meeting was really unexpected, I didn't expect to meet you when I came here to reap another result...... Huaishi, God knows how happy I was when I met you at the general's place, it's a pity, you haven't come to play with me, I have prepared a lot of gifts for you!"
Speaking of this, he patted his head: "By the way, the land of twilight did a good job, Mathers has always praised you! Not only in the golden dawn, you are really a popular idol in the abyss now! How big the chaos caused by the Suncaster is, how famous your name is, those workshop owners have been hating you lately biting handkerchiefs in the bed hahaha......
Smiling and smiling, his expression became serious, and he asked solemnly and seriously, "So, before we start the formal topic, how about we go through the process first?"
He paused, cleared his throat, stretched out his hand, and asked with enthusiasm and anticipation:
"--Also a member of the Ideal State once recognized by the Vientiane Celestial Sphere, Huai Shi, do you want to come to our side?"
Huai Shi looked at him in silence, her gaze through the phantom, looking at the world full of pain behind him.
"I am your enemy, Woodman. ”
He said, "Don't make jokes like that again, that hasn't changed." ”
"Hahaha, sure enough...... Isn't it time yet?"
Woodman laughed nonchalantly, and turned around to stand beside Huaishi, gazing with him at the world covered in smoke and flames.
With a smile on her face.
"First of all, congratulations, Huai Shi, what you have done is worthy of heroic deeds, it is commendable, your struggle has succeeded in saving some people, and let the arrival of this moment probably delay ...... compared to the plan"
He thought for a moment and said, "About thirty minutes." ”
After all the efforts of everyone, only half an hour was paid.
Half an hour later, it was all in ruin.
"Unfortunately, neither waiting to be killed nor fighting up can change the outcome - war will only make destruction come sooner. ”
"In some ways, your counterattack has made this place devastated much faster." ”
"Are you showing off your strength to me, Woodman?"
"You've probably misunderstood something, Huaishi. ”
Woodman's expression became strange: "It was the Extreme Dao who besieged the inner circle of Tambo, it was the general who ordered them to be killed, it was the emperor who ignored it, and it was the Astronomical Society who let it go...... I'm just a phantom, even if I just leave the confines of nowhere, my body will be poisoned to death, and I can't be blamed for all this because I met you, right?"
He paused, his smile growing more and more distant, "At best, I'm just making a few trivial suggestions. Behold, Huaishi, there is no demagoguery, no incition, no deception, but only the saying of what they want to hear, and they will become sane and outrageous......"
Boom!
Loud roar.
Huai Shi pulled the trigger, aimed it at his face, and pulled the trigger again, again, again, again. Until he emptied a whole magazine, turning the boy in front of him into a mess of mud full of holes.
Blood splattered, splattered everywhere, and slowly disappeared.
In front of Huai Shi's eyes, the broken body did not fall, but just looked at the young man in front of him with pity, and on the broken head, the smile was broken.
"It's too late, Huai Shi. ”
At that moment, the premonition of death fell from the sky, and an inexplicable brilliance lit up in the dark clouds in the sky, it was a big star, and the burning steel star fell, tearing the clouds and facing the earth.
Fall, fall and fall.
Is that...... Missile!
Huai Shi raised her head, her eyes illuminated by the spark of destruction.
Three minutes ago, Edo, Yokota Air Base. The black-haired, black-eyed Roman old man held his palms and stared at the commander with a smile as he pressed the launch button.
Then the earth shook and flames erupted.
From the silos, the Iron Star rises towards the sky......
Now, from the sky.
In the whistling.
"Do you know how hell was created, Huaishi?"
In a terrible scream, Woodman smiled and raised his hand, "Just a little blood, a little pain, a little death, and most importantly, ...... A little bit of desperation. ”
Syllable!
With a crisp snap of the fingers, the light of extinction fell from the sky.
As thousands of people chanted in unison, cluster missiles split from the sky, giving birth to a catastrophic posture and sown the seeds of death on the earth.
In an instant, everything in front of you is engulfed.
Kyoto shook dramatically, and countless fires rose from the earth violently, spasming like angry palms, reaching out to the sky.
The earth shook and the mountains shook, and the destruction finally reached its climax.
.
Inside the dilapidated izakaya, Maki only heard a loud roar, and subconsciously pressed the proprietress and Tomoko under him, and then the heavy plate collapsed under the impact of the air wave.
The world seemed to be dead silent in an instant.
No sound can be heard.
Only the ears seemed to have some small flying insects in them, and they kept chirping.
She choked with difficulty, propped herself up, exerted all her strength, lifted up the collapsed beam, and shouted loudly: "Aunt Omi, Tomoko, are you all right? Tomoko!
Behind her, Omi's face was pale, his face was covered with dust, and in his arms, Tomoko was safe and sound.
Maki breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
But then I saw that the proprietress 's face changed, and she was shouting loudly to say something to herself, but the voice was too far away for her to hear clearly.
Maki felt someone punch her in the back.
Shook a bit.
When she lowered her head, she saw blood flowing from her chest.
"Eh, that's ...... How to ......"
She muttered blankly, slumped to the ground, and turned back with difficulty, only to see a few heavily armed figures slowly approaching her in her blurred vision.
"A high-risk hybrid was spotted and shot. ”
Discerning the hybrid features of her face, the young sergeant with the gun raised the weapon in his hand and aimed it at her face.
"Don't, don't, don't kill her!"
A frightened scream sounded, and in the ruins, Omi staggered up, blocked in front of the girl, and waved his hand anxiously: "She's just a part-time worker, she doesn't know anything...... She didn't participate in the riot, and I can testify that she's been protecting us...... Don't kill her...... Please...... Please!"
The young sergeant was stunned, looking at the tearful embarrassed face, and stiffened in place.
But behind him, gunshots rang out.
"Don't waste time, B4, let's go!"
Next to the convoy, the captain indifferently put down his gun and turned to leave.
Omi lowered his head with difficulty, saw the blood on his chest, and fell to the ground.
In the long silence, Tomoko looked at her blankly, as if she didn't react, her lips pursed, and she couldn't make a sound, but when the cold blood spread to her feet, she finally understood what was happening.
"Mom's ......"
Tomoko suppressed the trembling and carefully touched her cheek, squeezing out a smile when she saw the embarrassed face.
"Actually, are you going to die?"
She looked blankly at the gray sky, looking at her daughter's tears, as if she didn't understand what was happening, but she seemed to be relieved.
It's finally coming to an end.
I thought about it many times, but now that it has really come, she began to feel sad, and when she saw her daughter crying, she began to regret it again, why didn't she try harder.
Just like she has always done, grit her teeth, hold on, there is always a turnaround, and she can hold on.
But this time, she felt that she couldn't hold on.
"It's so hard to live...... she choked violently, wanting to laugh, but she couldn't help crying: "I'm sorry, Tomoko, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
I want to say sorry to Fukatsu-kun, I want to say sorry to Mr. Takahashi, I want to comfort these children not to be afraid, and I want to say more.
She slowly closed her eyes, cries of despair.
Maki stared at all of this blankly.
It feels like the world is getting weird again.
I don't understand.
There are too many things that are not clear in this world, and there are too many things that cannot be understood, after leaving Daoquan Township, the outside world seems to be so fickle forever, and she is not allowed to read and understand slowly.
Everything has become too cruel.
She hadn't even reacted yet......
"But why?!"
Maki covered her face, choked up, and roared at the departing backs: "Didn't you come to kill me......?
She's innocent!
Everybody's ......
In the dimness, a bright bounce of blood spread before her eyes.
In pain and suffocation, she bent over and wanted to roar silently, but she couldn't make a sound. The pain brewed in the shell, burning like a flame.
She slowly raised her head, and scarlet tears flowed from her eyes under the dark ghost horns.
"I'm going to ...... Kill you......"
.
There was a cry in the distance.
Toshio stood blankly in the smoke and looked around, but the old man who had been leading him to escape was gone......
It seems that something fell from the sky and fell far away, and then many things disappeared, and together with Aunt Uchiyama, they were no longer visible.
But when he finally lowered his head, he saw the broken arm in the ruins.
There are still traces of the ring on his arm.
The ring has long since been sold.
Aunt Uchiyama said that with a little more money, she could go to school......
But now, Aunt Uchiyama is gone.
He trembled and fell to his knees, holding the broken hand, tears streaming silently.
There was a loud noise in the distance, someone was coming, but he didn't want to run anymore.
It doesn't matter who it is.
Kill me......
All that remains, desperate prayers.
But no one listened to this prayer, no one cared about it.
In the midst of this gloomy world, the roar of explosions continued to emerge, and the sharp wails gradually dissipated.
The rain had fallen from the sky.
But the blood and tears on the ground never ceased.
Now, the climax of the mournful cry is gone.
Despair befalls –
Along with the suffering of countless people, the light from hell emerged from above the earth.
"Extremely!"
In the darkness, the more he spread his six arms and danced in ecstasy: "The Great Day!"
Above his head, a purple-black aura slowly emerged, a solemn and eerie light flowing in all directions along the resonance between the swamp people.
With these countless souls immersed in despair as a fulcrum, the ring of divinity quickly expanded, spread, and in an instant, enveloped the entire inner circle of Tamba.
Every desperate soul melted into the glow of this god of hell, allowing the abyssal aura in the soul to spread, echoing the distant 'Elysium'.
The sleeping god of hell opened his eyes and looked into the distant present.
Pain, blood, death, and despair.
With the convergence of countless elements, hell on earth is born!
- Hell Tamba Inner Circle [Depth 1]
In the Yingzhou branch of the Command Bureau, the alarm sounded and spread.
[Detected in the current depth area]
【Element of Destruction Detected: Rancher】
[Detection of the fusion of the elements of destruction——]
[——The purification sequence is initiated.] 】
At that moment, in the survival courtyard, the silent doomsday bell rang loudly, and the mighty bell woke up every pair of eyes in the 'Border Prison Test Area'.
The massive thing that had been sleeping in the darkness slowly awoke.
At the same time, from the Eastern Xia, the Americas, Egypt, and the Russian Union...... In the present realm, on the border, and even in the deepest part of hell, the eyes of countless people fell to Yingzhou through transmission, secret mirrors, miracle seals, and exploration mirrors.
In the Ivory Tower, in the principal's office, Russell smoked in silence, staring directly at the projection coming from the dragon flute, and his fingers were tapping on the table anxiously.
Await.
.
.
The sound of rain breaking.
"I heard someone crying. ”
"Hmm. ”
"There are still a lot of people who have died. ‘
"I know. ”
Under the light rain, Yuan Zhao turned his head and looked at the firelight in the inner circle of Danbo in the distance: "Sister Ye, is it really good for us to do this?"
In front, Ye Xueya held an umbrella and looked back at the low-lying young man behind him, with pity in his eyes: "Original photos, I regret that all this happened, but these have nothing to do with us."
We still have our own work to do.
The first thing you need to do as an adult is to learn not to pay for other people's mistakes. ”
In the silence, Hara's footsteps paused in place.
"It's not like that. ”
"It shouldn't be like this," he said. ”
The young man looked into Ye Xueya's eyes and told her seriously: "They are not wrong, they just have no choice." ”
In the silence, Ye Xueya's eyebrows slowly raised, as if he had re-acquainted himself with the little ghost in front of him, looked at his eyebrows, and looked at it carefully.
Hara, on the other hand, seems to have exhausted all his courage.
Lowered his head, dodging her gaze.
"Sister Ye, something must be wrong with me. He muttered in frustration, "I used to like Miss Huai Paper, but now I can't even remember what she looks like." I used to hate those bastards, but now I can't sit back and watch them die......"
Sometimes, men will encounter something and then they will be stupid and do something irrational and ignore themselves.
But such a thing will always happen to a man once in his life.
The former second grandfather said to him: If a man is not smart, it doesn't matter if he is stupid all his life, but you always have to know what you are doing.
There are some things that cannot be done, but there are some things, once they are done, even if they die, it is not a pity.
But the old man didn't say too much detail, just wiped the shiny blade of the gun from the drunkenness, and always had a smile on the corner of his mouth when he recalled the past.
You'll know when you meet you, Harato. When the time comes, you should be on the pitch.
You shouldn't stand still.
"I guess it's time for me now......"
The young man raised his head and said goodbye to Ye Xueya: "I'm sorry, Sister Ye." ”
He said, "I'm going to be a hero." ”
The young man said goodbye, stepped back step by step, stretched out his hand from the thin rain, pulled out the trihalberd fork in the void, and the rain swept in, and the neighing of the dragon horse sounded.
The giant horse under the tiger and leopard gear trampled the iron hooves and broke through the rain.
An impatient call was made to him.
In the short silence, Ye Xueya was not annoyed or disappointed, but laughed softly.
Under the umbrella, the woman happily flicked the cigarette ash in her hand.
"Original photo—"
She waved her hand and wished, "I want to succeed!"
"Needless to say!"
The boy on horseback raised his head and responded as a matter of course.
Tighten the reins, turn the horse, and gallop towards the burning sky ahead.
Storms are coming, and there is icy rain. The heart was trembling, the heart was contracting, but the blood was so hot when it flowed, and it was also ringing with the soul, like a cheer.
"Let's go, Lou!"
From the gallop, the cold armor of silver casting emerged from the shell of the young man's body, and the red tassels fluttered in the wind, as fierce as fire.
With the neighing of the giant horse, the dragon's roar spread in all directions, rolling the wind and rain, causing the light rain to roll backwards and blend into the gradual hurricane.
Original photo, charge into battle!
