Call............

Li Mingji had already smoked the few cigarettes left, and he began to consider whether to spend money to replace e-cigarettes, but when he thought that the messy fruit-flavored cartridges and the stronger nicotine stimulation could easily cause a powerful blow to his wallet, he still chose to stick to traditional cigarettes.

Although no matter what you smoke, you are spending money to buy sin, but thinking about the benefits, isn't taking out a loan to go to work also spending money to buy sin?

Human happiness and pain often coexist, and it is impossible to experience happiness without suffering, which is such a thing to put it bluntly.

It's like giving birth to a child, obviously you will suffer a lot of pain, but the love that parents unconditionally generate and invest in raising their children is also unique and irreplaceable in the world.

"It is precisely because of this that I will choose to give up my failed life and let the gods take over my destiny, as long as I can let my family live a good life, in this patriarchal country, I can let a boy like Li Oz who is discriminated against also enjoy the education of a normal person, so that my wife can change into a high-level prosthetic body and walk again, not to mention my life and soul, even if I blow the whole planet to pieces, it doesn't matter......"

As a failed ordinary person, Li Mingji does not have any memory of the grand narrative, he does not care about any independent thinking, nor does he care that after losing his life, his children will call Siddes a stranger and call Dad, and the person his wife loves will become a successful and completely different self.

This kind of thing can be regarded as distress and anxiety for people with a monthly salary of 3,000 derby, but for laid-off and unemployed middle-aged men in rural areas with no education, as long as there is someone to take care of their families, there is nothing to care about.

Li Mingji sat at the head of the bridge, and the time had come to 9:30 in the evening.

Sides has not yet come.

Maybe Xingyuan lied to him, maybe it was just a dream. There are no gods in the world, but they are poor, ignorant and ignorant, and mistakenly take their conjectures as reality.

A few barking dogs came from the distant village, as if to support his point.

It's fake. ’

Li Mingji's heart was a little shaken.

'Go home. ’

Now I will be scolded by my family when I go back, but after one night, my family will urge me to get up and cook.

The smoke in his hand made up the dark night, and he stood on the bank of the river in the daylight of the artificial sun. Four hundred years ago, the Frost Plating invaded the outside world and incorporated it into the territory, but for 400 years, the president of the republic never cared about this conquered land, and the bureaucrats and chaebols fought in the capital, openly and secretly, and their bribes and political donations were even a fraction of the money, which could open five factories, three primary schools, and one middle school for the village.

But no one cares about this small border village, there is a group of people who wander between the food and clothing lines, and even if they work hard, they can't compare to the consumption of Gemini in one night.

President Madway's phrase 'fighting for jobs for women' made Li Mingji lose his job and made thousands of low-income families who need a man like Li Mingji lose hope.

Lee knew that Sides was dead whether Sides came or not.

He lowered his head and looked at the river under the bridge.

This river of garbage and waste water leads to the outside world, and even the poorest workers of Frost Plating will puff out their chests proudly at the thought that outsiders are only worthy of drinking purified nuclear wastewater.

The frost-plated white night descended on the border plains, and Li Mingji quietly waited for the final moment.

Whether Sides comes or not, he will make a choice.

And just like that, time passed little by little.

Laugh at..................

The fingertips were slightly hot, and the cigarette butt burned to the filter.

The smoke has burned out, and the gods have not arrived.

Syllable.

Li Mingji threw the cigarette butt at his feet, gently stepped on it, then picked it up, threw it into the trash can on the side, and prepared to go home and continue to survive this failed life.

As a human being, Lee is dead, but he is a father, and he can't die.

Li Mingji turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and thought about whether to go to the newly opened pharmaceutical factory in the county seat tomorrow as a security guard, he was already old, even if he took out a loan and sold his organs in exchange for a combat prosthetic mixed bounty hunter, it was estimated that he would not be able to compare to a young man.

It's better to honestly enter the factory for an uncle like yourself.

As he thought so, a cold wind suddenly came from behind him.

"What's going on?"

Li Mingji turned around abruptly, and the next moment, a huge diamond-shaped door suddenly appeared in the sky, and with a fluctuation of the purple energy curtain in the center, two huge figures quickly flew out of it, and fell to the ground while striking.

"What the is this—"

Li Mingji was stunned.

Before he could react, two giants with a blue and a purple body that were close to three meters tall with qualified skin and armored bodies had already started a fierce fist and foot battle.

Bang!

Leoz slammed his kick into Sides' chest, then suddenly twisted his waist and spun around, lifted his hind legs, and hit Sides in the face, Sides retreated again and again, and before he could get up, Leoz quickly rushed in front of him, using his leg as a knife, and slashed neatly at the side of his knee joint, which happened to be the weak part of the armor.

Gaba!

Sides was knocked to the ground in an instant, but he could clearly sense that Leoz's attack was weakening.

"Hah...... The upper limit of the Azure Star is only gamma (3), and your strength is too much here. Meet the sanctions of the planet."

Leoz didn't talk nonsense, the black chaotic fire on his body was no longer able to cast.

The curse of the abyss was too malicious for him, an outsider.

With a curse and only a spirit body left, it was too hard to just maintain the materialization.

Not to mention...... Siddes, as the seed of Xingyuan, who has a lot of strategy information, clearly judged that Leoz's body data was constantly declining.

[It must be done quickly.] 】

He trampled down His head with one foot.

Syllable!

Siddes immediately rolled on the spot, dodging a wave of attacks from Cleoz, with his uncursed body, he and Leoz's strength was rapidly pulling, Leoz's reaction was getting slower and slower, and more and more attacks fell in the air.

"I won't let you get away with it!"

Standing up with one hand, his upper body just raised up, Leoz immediately smashed a punch in his face, Sides used his strength to perform a half-circle somersault, turned around and landed dexterously like a cat, and kicked Leoz's legs between his legs, and then his upper body immediately exerted force, and an iron mountain hit Leoz against him.

Bang!

Leoz stepped back half a step.

It's not that Sides' attacks are strong, but that the curse of the abyss is constantly weakening him.

"Alright, you old fellow, no matter how hard you struggle, Xingyuan will always be on my side."

Seeing that he had repelled Leoz for the first time, Sides was in good spirits, he clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and suddenly exerted force:

"Give my system back!"

They have no way.

In the Star Abyss, the existence of the Dao Path is more important than anything else, and the authority is also suppressed by the Star Abyss curse.

Leoz and Sides, as crippled gods, can only rely on their physique to fight without help.

Siddes is well aware of his strengths.

No matter how strong the other party is, what's the use of being old? As the seed of the chosen, is he afraid of such old fellows?

Leoz's fists and kicks slowed down, and he flicked them out. But even if the opponent's physical strength has begun to fall into disadvantage, in terms of pure punch and kick skills, Siddes still can't bargain.

He used the back of his hand to hold Leoz's fist, and Leoz immediately lowered down and crossed his leg to sweep, Sides was injured in the ankle, and was immediately overturned, and with one hand on the ground, he immediately somersaulted backwards, and his heel was thrown out like a meteor hammer and swept on Leoz's chin.

Volt ————!

Leoz's body immediately reverted to spirituality, allowing the blow to miss, but immediately after, Sides rolled over and slammed his fists and kicks into Leoz's head, like a thunderbolt from the sky, swift and unstoppable.

With the offensive and defensive momentum gradually changing positions, Siddes became more and more anxious.

He had discovered that no matter how bad Leoz's physical attributes were, he could hold him down.

"It's obviously the Essence Art Protoss, how can the fighting skills be more exquisite than the Destruction Protoss...... Was this guy born learning to fight?"

He threw a straight punch with his right hand, dangling it in front of his opponent's eyes, and with his other hand, he unleashed an uppercut that slammed into Leoz's abdomen, but Leoz barely thought about it, and based on instinct and nerve reflexes, he kicked out with a straight toe like a bayonet, and struck the gap in the armor on Sides' chest with ferocity.

- Smack!

Sides was numb, as a god, there was a moment in his body that the circulation of divine power was almost blocked, and he took a few steps back, covering his chest, abdomen and diaphragm with one hand.

"No...... This guy is too strong, he can't be an ordinary god at all, this kind of fighting instinct, even if I have been immersed in the timeline rehearsal for countless hours, I can't temper it at all!"

Even if the opponent is weakened to the level of only mortals, with pure power alone, Sides feels that he has no possibility of defeating.

"Hey, it's almost over, is it any good for you to kill them all like this?!"

But Leoz had no intention of letting him go.

He took two steps, flew up, opened his feet in the air like scissors, and immediately grabbed Sides's neck, and quickly flipped in the air, dragging Sides up, bending his legs, and being thrown to the ground by Leoz!

Bang!!!

"Uh-"

Before Sides could exert his strength, Leoz had already pulled his arm, used his thighs to press his chest, and the armbar was out, and the strength of his whole body was pressed down.

Gaba!

Even if his strength has been reduced to the level of ordinary mortals, Sides, who is already at the level of mortals, is not much stronger than him.

"It's over."

Leoz immediately snapped his arm, raised his hand, and the palm of his hand ignited with chaotic fire, ready to make up for it and completely take everything from Sides.

Syllable!

A stone landed on the back of Leoz's head.

"Hey, let go."

He turned his head, and Li Mingji picked up a big stone by the river in his hand, sweating profusely, and stared at him nervously:

"You bastard, that guy is the savior of this universe! At least my savior! Are you worthy of the entire Star Abyss by doing this? ”

Having said that, in the face of a giant god who was kneeling on the ground and was taller than himself, Li Mingji, as a mortal, instinctively feared large animals in his heart and immediately came to mind.

But if you don't make a move......

'If I don't want to, watch Sides get killed by this monster - won't the family be finished?' ’

If this body is not given to Siddes, then who can save his family?

Who can help the kid Li Oz afford to pay for the tuition and living expenses of the Red Arrows.

Those who fight the gods must also be gods...... And the superb skills, smooth combat, and brutal methods are completely abusing and killing Sides, who is a newborn.

Li Ming didn't need to look at it, just the cold and cruel temperament revealed by the other party, the two couldn't help but tremble.

What are you kidding, this is also terrible...... Even in the face of the thugs with loaded guns, Li Mingji has never been so afraid.

But......

"Mortal ......"

Leoz glanced at Li Mingji, ignored him, and concentrated on preparing to completely destroy Sides.

"I'll tell you to stop!"

Li Mingji roared, picked up the stone and immediately rushed up, and smashed it down on Leoz's head:

"Compared to fucking life, a mere god is a fart!"

A little reminder, whether it is Leoz or Sides, they are all gods and people, but in addition to cannon fodder gods, favored gods like Sides are more emotional.

But no matter which Protoss they were, they didn't treat mortals as one thing. Gio Skua is already very honest and honest, and still disdains the sacrifices of mortals.

In the eyes of narrative civilization, mortals are one of the cornerstones of a grand narrative, so a high-quality population is important, and even if they are not expected to fight, they must be raised as domestic animals.

In the eyes of society, there are some individuals among mortals who can be assimilated and led to become compatriots, and others are evil and unequal oppressors

(Yes, you heard it right, these beasts have always thought that they are redeeming the marginal people in those civilizations, and these marginal people, in our normal understanding, belong to the 'non-mainstream', 'unsocial', 'withdrawn and bad' character)

There are no so-called good guys and bad guys in this book in the strict sense, only:

Newborns, demonstrators, losers, winners, vested interests, contradictory ideas, idealists, realists

Anyone can jump back and forth between various labels at any time, and it's easy to set up a fixed persona, but I think this will make the work lose its fresh feeling.
