Chapter 1290: Push Distance Battle
As long as you can survive the fight, actual combat is the best way to test yourself and improve.
Zhao Mai was beaten again and again, and then smashed something. Device Zero went back to the damaged Alliance headquarters, and Zhao Mai recovered his body by himself. He also managed to hurt the dragon, breaking its neck at least twenty times and slicing open its chest thirty times. However, after a roll of the shadows that made up its body, all wounds ceased to exist. The dragon is still the same dragon, and Zhao Mai is still the same Zhao Mai - it's just that he is becoming more and more proficient in manipulating the rules of time.
Although on the surface, it seems that Zhao Mai is still talking constantly, changing tricks and mocking the shadow dragon, all kinds of laughter are endless, even after being beaten out, he shows that he loves this battle very much, and is immersed in the joy of it, but in fact, Zhao Mai has been trying to find a way to end this stinky and long battle.
Every one of his actions has a clear purpose, such as dissecting this shadow monster. This monster has its own form, and its ability can only be exerted through this form, why? Nakus, or Black Spectrum, the most important feature is that it hides under all the rules, and it is impossible to find it in ordinary ways, but why does it have to take the form of a dragon? Judging from the abilities it has already demonstrated, the sudden appearance of dark clouds does not use the shape of a dragon, the claws and teeth are not exclusive to dragons, the six wings are purely decorative, and the two tails are not necessarily very flexible.
Whatever the reason, since it is so attached to the shape of six wings, four legs, three heads and two tails, then it may be attached to more things, such as putting something important in the original heart of the dragon. It's a matter of habit, just as some mages who use Transfiguration to transform themselves into fire elementals will still have a two-handed and two-legged human form, and the sound of speech coming from the part of their heads, and mages who have just become lich have a habit of tying important life boxes to their ribs and placing them in their original hearts. This is a knee-jerk behavior, and since the dragon still retains its character, emotions, and past thoughts, it is likely that it also retains various "subconscious".
Although the Shadow Dragon appears to be a sturdy whole from the outside, it can be dispelled if you have the means to harm it. Through continuous dissection, the body structure of the shadow dragon is gradually revealed: the outermost part of the shadow-like shaking part forms the basic image of the dragon, which resembles a vaporized version of the black oil of the dragon. Zhao Mai has seen liquid, gel and solid resistant structures, and this is the first time he has seen gaseous ones. Because it is constantly tumbling and changing its form very quickly, it is difficult for the Temporal Stasis Ray to work on it.
There are liquid Nakusi flowing under the gaseous state, and the number is very small, and Zhao Mai can't catch their traces every time, only when the Shadow Dragon attacks, the Nagusi Black Oil will gather more. Zhao Mai guessed that the grease state's resistant structure was responsible for "charging" the Shadow Dragon, and it was all dependent on this thing to manipulate time and bring everything to destruction.
"Zhao Mai, I admire your persistence and strength. The Shadow Dragon suddenly stopped its offensive and stopped moving forward. One of the three dragon heads was talking, one was shaking his head and the other was nodding, and he didn't know if it was or wasn't. "Not like that. The multiverse is so big, you can't use it all. Let's discuss it and divide it. ”
"It makes a lot of sense. Zhao Mai stopped and nodded, winking at the dragon. He saw that he had attracted the attention of the other party, but suddenly accelerated and rushed forward. The blue flames wrapped around the whole body, spinning to form the shape of a drill bit, Zhao Mai directly tore open the chest of the shadow dragon, and a fierce man pierced into it!
"You're doing it in vain!" roared the shadow dragon. It looked down at the wound on its chest, staring at the blue light that came out of it. The light expanded, seeping first into the black shadows, and then gradually glowing. "You can up, but you can't kill me! I'll be back soon!"
The three-headed shadow dragon continued to expand, curse, and then exploded in a burst of brilliant blue flames, like a hydrogen balloon that met a flame and bloomed in an instant, leaving nothing behind. Zhao Mai slowly flew out from the center of the explosion, and the blue flames on his body dimmed a lot. He looked left and right, and without hesitation, he took out the blue crystal and swallowed it in a big gulp.
When his mouth was stuffed with crystal shards, he suddenly thought of something, and tore open the spatial rift leading to the alliance headquarters, which happened to be not far from Soka. Zhao Mai said in a vague accent: "Angel, how is your investigation going?"
"It's going back and on, and I'm making slow progress here. The angel's eyes were full of helplessness. She thought about it, took out an earbud communicator from her pocket and threw it to Zhao Mai. "Feel free to contact with this. Try not to smash the alliance headquarters, otherwise you will go back and do what you have done all over again. ”
"I see, if I accidentally get knocked away, I'll have to be sent in the other direction. Zhao Mai frowned and said, "This thing is not easy to deal with, but I have already thought of a way, don't panic." Hmph, as I expected!"
He closed the spatial crack again with a confident look, and then focused on eating blue crystals to replenish his strength, killing crystals about ten times the volume of his body. He also tore through the space, took a mountain-like crystal from the base of the Z bug, and threw it into the mental space for later use.
When the black shadows gathered into a ball again, about the size of a ping-pong ball, Zhao Mai leaned over and kept poking with his fingers with blue flames. The power that can affect the black spectrum can also affect this shadow, so it will constantly deform and twist, pull and stretch between Zhao Mai's fingers. But there is also a rule that Zhao Mai has not figured out for the time being, which has been preventing him from completely destroying this shadow. In short, even if the shadow became so small, Zhao Mai still couldn't completely destroy it.
"Wait, I suddenly had a great idea. Zhao Mai snapped his fingers, tore open the spatial crack, and then threw the shadow inside. Anyway, after this guy turns into a shadow dragon, he will only walk slowly step by step, so if he throws it far away, won't he be able to buy a lot of time?
Unexpectedly, the black shadow reached the mouth of the spatial rift and immediately devoured it, just like it devoured the energy artillery of the fleet. The energy that Nakuth assimilates and destroys other rules makes it impossible to teleport. This is good news and bad news, but it's mostly good news. Zhao Mai made a quick decision, let the flames fill his palm, and then grabbed a baseball-sized shadow ball and flew towards the end of the earth.
The wind whistled by, and the Alliance headquarters was instantly left behind, turning into an indiscriminate dot. The space is absolutely flat, and there is no curvature on the ground, so no matter how far away you are, you can theoretically always see the small point of the headquarters.
A long time ago, Zhao Mai sent a team of explorers, hoping that they would reach the end of this strange world. He does not believe that there is a world that is "infinite", at most there will only be a rule that has not yet been understood, creating the illusion of "infinity". Not to mention anything else, the infinite ground represents an infinite mass, so the gravity here in the alliance should be more than the current level. Zhao Mai did not forget to dig down, and after a depth of 20,000 kilometers, the Z worm finally found the lower limit of this world: a similar elemental passage boundary blocked the forward passage, as long as it touched it, it would be teleported, and then thrown to a corner of the multiverse.
If it weren't for the fact that Naykoth was immune to these rules, it would be a good place to deal with the Shadow Dragon.
The black shadow ball was still expanding, and now it was about the size of a rugby ball. Zhao Mai kept accelerating, but only the ability to fly could drive the Shadow Ball to move, and any way to use the rules of space, such as compressing the space in front of him (shrinking the ground into inches), would cause the Shadow Rugby to stop suddenly. And every time you absorb the rules, it will make the Shadow Dragon grow faster.
The monotonous ground retreated rapidly under him, and Zhao Mai flew out of the destruction range of the big explosion, and the breath of the Z worm appeared in the field of vision. His "expeditionary force" never stopped trying, even during the Five Hundred Years' War. It has been constantly multiplying, expanding, and advancing, conquering the empty wilderness with the power of life. When the environment is not suitable, the environment is transformed, when it is lonely, it creates creatures, and when it is bored, it gathers together to play cards and run a group.
Gardener Long raised his head and waved at Zhao Mai. They could barely feel that the Great Commander was coming, but they couldn't see Zhao Mai's appearance in the high-speed flight: a roar similar to thunder was Zhao Mai's closest souvenir to them. However, it doesn't matter if they can't see clearly, with the help of the psychic network, they actually know everything about Zhao Mai for a long time, just like they are familiar with their fingers and toes.
"Come on, Commander!" the gardener dragons sent their blessings attentively and reverently, and then did what they should do. The blast wave of the explosion broke a lot of things, especially the fragile flowers and plants. Moreover, the gray time shock circles just now also caused a lot of trouble, some of the fried teeth turned into two-headed, six-armed and other strange appearances, and they still had to find a way to stabilize the symptoms of these people, so they couldn't care what the Great Commander Fei did so quickly.
The stretch of rest covered the land, and everywhere in sight was Zhao Mai's territory. Not only are there various insects living and working on the ground, but the underground is also excavated and utilized, and it has a complex ecological structure. Zhao Xiang looked around, turned slightly, landed on a Chimera spaceship, and ordered it to take off immediately and charge into the distance.
The Shadow Dragon has become the size of a basketball and requires his hands to control, so the Chimera spaceship will be more efficient as a means of transportation.
"I admire your layout, doing this under the noses of the Alliance, it is equivalent to grasping their vital points, and they can strike a fatal blow at any time. Shadow Ball suddenly spoke: "Zhao Mai, if you can start earlier than me, I should lose to you." I have to say that the Z worm is a powerful cosmic creature. ”
"Dragons too. Zhao Mai didn't need to fly hard, so he naturally had the strength to speak: "You are a good dragon clan, why do you have to become a Nakusi? What is so good about being so dark and not slipping away? Don't deny it, I'm very sure that you are a dragon." ”
Shadow Ball was silent for a moment, then asked in a puzzled tone, "You're right...... But just because I'm in dragon form doesn't mean I'm from a dragon, so where do you have the confidence to be so sure of your inference?"
"Those people in the alliance don't understand what Nagis is all about, that's because they're stupid. Of course, there are also Templar spies who are constantly misleading and leading them to forks in the road. I don't have that problem. Zhao Mai looked at the shadow ball and said, "Life is a resource, and so is death." As a maverick druid, I'm not shy about studying necromancy, and I'm not afraid of Neckus. If you hadn't taken the lead, maybe I would have been able to complete your transformation. ”
"Ha! You really can talk big words! You can't understand how I did this transformation! No one in this world can understand!" "The shadow dragon laughed wildly, his tone full of disdain: "Do you think you can surpass my hundreds of millions of years of layout and accumulation, and defeat me in one day? Including your current childish behavior, from the perspective of the entire multiverse, from the perspective of time, it is just a meaningless struggle! You do your best, and eventually you will realize your shortcomings and then compromise." ”
The Shadow Dragon snorted, closed its mouth for the time being, and even slowed down the speed of growth, allowing Zhao Mai to fly with it.
As the sky gets darker and the air seems to be thinner, the concentration of the Natural Force decreases. For the rest of the day, there has been no sun in the space where the Alliance is located, but there is always a light overhead, keeping it alive and daylight. It's just that the farther away from the headquarters, the worse this vitality becomes, until it is no longer able to support life.
Z-worms are always more adaptable than other creatures, and they can expand beyond the reach of other creatures, even if there is nothing but emptiness and dead silence. Zhao Mai raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and his field of vision was still full of soil and Z insects, but their number and density had decreased significantly. Not only that, but the power of the Chimera spacecraft gradually weakened, and the flight speed began to decrease.
Zhao Mai looked at the shadow dragon ball in his hand, it was already the size of a pumpkin, and it was almost about to break free from the shackles of the blue flames. He had to concentrate all his energy and keep weaving a web of restraint to keep the Shadow Dragon from drifting away like black smoke.
"I know what's going on in your mind. The Shadow Dragon sneered, "You think you can break me again and again, and then take me out of the cycle of Alliance HQ until I am out of trouble." I'll admit that you're able to hinder me in a way that I didn't expect. However, in the face of time, these efforts of yours are meaningless. ”
"No, time is the most meaningful. Zhao Mai smiled, still full of confidence: "A monkey that can't die, even if he types on the typewriter indiscriminately, as long as he is given enough time, he can also knock out a copy of "Sword and Magic and Taxi". I'm smarter than a monkey, am I? You're certainly temporarily ahead in the research and use of Nakus, but it's both desirable and within reach. It's you who should be worried. ”
"Just keep your mouth shut. The Shadow Dragon said, "I asked you to fly with me, so that you could see what the end of the world looked like, and to let you know that you could not win at all. Wait and see!"
The Chimera groaned in pain, like a wretched worm about to suffocate when her neck was choked. It could no longer sustain its flight, and crashed headlong into the soil.
The soil here is only a finger thick, and it is almost close to its limit. Among the Z worms, only the most basic essentia cells can survive. Other creatures simply don't get enough energy to support them, and sooner or later they die of hunger or fatigue.
Zhao Mai walked to the end of the rest of the soil with the shadow ball in his arms, and the distance was still empty.
It's just that there are more dark shadows on the horizon.
