Chapter 161: Another World (Part II)
"It's time to go. β
"Where to go?"
"To the world above, of course. β
Without time to enjoy the joy of the reunion, Jonah stood in front of the gray chaos and summoned his fellow Pitchforks, "Eli, Chamber-Grown, JeKong, Little Grasshopper, we must go." This will be the final battle, and when it's all over, I promise, we'll have the time of a lifetime to enjoy together. β
"Where's Ryuki, Lord Jonah?" said Toba's advisor, "I didn't see her appear......
"Ryuhime is waiting for us right there. The astrologer stretched out his finger and pointed to the distant but incomparably close starry sky above his head, "Just now, Madame Duran sent me a final message, and Long Venerable Jun has taken the lead in breaking the barrier between the two worlds and reaching the world above, and Long Ji is in his hands. β
The Rose Knight was amazed, "How did he do this without the help of the Seven Artifacts?"
Jonah replied, "He possesses the power of the Cursed Land of Yagu, which in a sense is another direction of the original mentor Gilberto Gilbernaon's research on the Temporal Array, which is of the same origin as the Temporal Array itself. The Red Brotherhood is using the Cursed Soil Summoning Technique to wreak havoc across the continent, and every fresh soul dies, the power of the Cursed Soil will grow even more, and the sorrow of thousands of souls can be turned into astonishing energy. β
"Then how can we defeat him? It's impossible, isn't it?" said the little grasshopper, sitting on Toba's shoulder, pouting, "Even if you give each of us one of the artifacts on your body...... It's not easy to use at all, and if the artifact is used for fighting, it won't help at all. β
"On our own, there will be a very important comrade-in-arms. Jonah clenched his fists firmly and raised his voice: "Let's go, guys, go where no one has been!"
The chief of the chamber took off his hat and bent down, the rose knight drew his sword, Sibi rubbed his small fist, and Jekong took the tooth from Saru Aswati's hand. The Pitchfork's friends gathered around the gray whirlpool, and Jonah's gaze crossed the crowd to the direction of the Stewart siblings.
Hannah took a step forward, feeling the cloak being tugged at hard, and she looked back to see her brother looking at him with bright eyes, like a pitiful puppy biting at his master's trouser leg to prevent him from leaving. Danny Stewart said just one thing: "Hannah, don't leave me alone." β
Hit hard by this sentence, Stewart's body trembled slightly, and an unrelenting entanglement appeared in her narrow green eyes, she knew that as long as she took one more step forward, her brother's hand would be released, and she would be left behind forever, at this moment the two most important men in her life stood at opposite ends of the world, and Hannah herself had to make a choice that could never be right.
"Thank you, Hannah, I owe you so much along the way. I can't make up for anything, I hope we can have a chance to see each other again in the future, I hope you all ...... All live happily ever after. Jonah spoke. The wings behind him stretched, the gray vortex spread out and enveloped the Pitchfork's companions, the "Buzzing ......" time and space began to tremble, the power of the gods' seal lifted the five companions up again, the invisible barrier was torn apart, and a crack that split the starry sky appeared in the Destroying Galaxy.
β...... Jonah!" Hannah shouted, taking a step forward, then stopped. The gray light had risen into the unknowable abyss of time and space, the stars in the sky were scattered, seven seals of the gods fell from the sky, and the five companions had disappeared into the endless starry sky. β...... Jonah......" Hannah Stewart lowered his head slowly, his fingers clucking as he held the big gun "Admiral", "To you, am I just an insignificant bystander in the end, even if you want to protect me, such a parting is ......"
Hannah was taken aback by a pair of strong arms that suddenly enveloped her from behind, and then slowly relaxed, "Let's go back, Hannah." The boy of the Stewart family whispered, "Back to our homeland, it's not the damn Zavi Empire, it's the endless sea of sand, the place where the sun always shines." I'll marry a good woman, and you, you'll marry a man who loves you more than I do, and we'll go back to the 'Tempest of Bactria,' and run the business left behind by Daddy Die, and each of us will have a whole bunch of children, and we'll grow old in the wind and sand, and we'll sit on the back of the worm and watch the descendants of the Stewart family gallop across the desert in sailboats, and we'll live like that,...... Okay, Hannah?"
β...... Yes, brother. Hannah tried to reply, but the pain clogged her throat so much that all the words sounded like oversuppressed sobs.
In that gray vortex, Jonah and his friends had their own agendas, but there was still time for a few innocuous conversations:
"Who is that young lady in red, I don't think she looks at you in an ordinary way!"
"It's not cool at all to fly into the world like this, and how did you take off all the artifacts, Brother Jonah?"
"Be ready for battle, Lord Jonah, though we may face situations we can't imagine. β
β......β
Without warning, the weightlessness vanished, the gray mist vanished, and the companions drew their weapons and looked around, realizing that the world had changed. It was a strange place, flat black earth that stretched out in all directions, with neither mountains nor rivers, nor plants or buildings, as if it were an excessively large field that had been artificially cultivated and had not yet been sown. The sky was covered with black oppressive clouds, thunder roared, lightning crackled in the clouds, but there was no smell of rain in the air, and it seemed that the rolling thunderclouds were not a precursor to a storm. Since there is no reference, no one can tell the size of this plain, and can only feel a deep loneliness, because there are only a few lonely visitors from the other world between heaven and earth.
"it! this is the world up there?" the little grasshopper jumped up at once, "What's the use of trying your best to climb up!
"How can you be disrespectful to Lord Jonah!" the head of the room immediately reproached, touching his head and saying, "This is like the hell described in knightly novels, wow, I heard my mother read those stories about hell when I was young, and it would be even more like it if there was a demon." β
Before his words fell, a vision suddenly occurred, and the black in the distance in front of him suddenly became rich, not used for the black of thunderclouds and black earth, it was pure and dull, chilling black, "Be careful!" Jonah raised his staffβthe seven seals of the gods that had exhausted their energy had left the entity in the world below, and all he had in his hand was the shell of the empty shape and crystal stoneβand shouted, "That's the characteristic of the Cursed Land of Yagu, don't be touched by something black!"
"Oh, here you are. β
A voice was heard throughout the field. The expanding blackness turned into thousands of tentacles fluttering, and a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a broad jaw and indifferent eyebrows, slowly emerged in the middle, and he said lightly: "Even if that cook named Duran helped and used Long Ji's 'Underworld Marriage' as an introduction, it took me a lot of effort to break through the wall of the world, but I didn't expect you ants to come to the same place." Speaking of this, he raised his head to look at the sky, lowered his head to look at the ground, and frowned: "...... What the hell is this place?"
"Long Zunjun?" Xibi looked at it, straightened up his small chest and shouted, "Hurry up and return Sister Long Ji!"
Tuoba nervously pulled the little grasshopper behind him to protect it, but he didn't expect Long Zunjun to react, "She?" A black tentacle rose, and a black-haired oriental woman was curled on it, "When I was passing through the wall of the world, this actually attacked me from behind, almost making me fall short." The left eyebrow of the head of the Long family sank slightly, "Why don't you give it back to you......?"
The tentacles were thrown in the air, and the body of the oriental woman flew into the air in this direction, Jonah's eyes lit up, and he rushed forward two steps to reach out to catch it, but suddenly there was a huge back in front of him, "Whew...... Smack!" The sharp fist swing moved the air, like an invisible giant whip volleying in the air, the head of the room swung out a fist the size of a stone mortar, and hit the invisible thing in the air with all his strength, the energy exploded, and the shock wave blew up the dirt waves, "Bang!" Thoba landed heavily on the ground, shook his right fist and shouted: "Don't look away, the enemy has attacked! I will block those black whips in the air, you have to pay attention to coming down from the ground!"
β...... Don't move. Yekong suddenly appeared beside him like a ghost, chanting Sanskrit scriptures from his mouth, his hands covered with golden Buddha light pressed Toba's right arm, and in an instant, Toba's arm was glued with a layer of black slime, and the black lines were climbing up along the muscles, and finally gradually stopped the spreading momentum under the light of the Buddha, "Don't be hard, break up." The southerner said briefly, his fingers tracing two lines of golden charms on Toba's wrists, shielding the elder's fists with Buddha light.
"Whoosh ......" The sound of breaking the air sounded sharply, but it was difficult for the naked eye to distinguish the existence of black tentacles from the background of the thunderclouds, and the rose knight once again shouldered the responsibility of commanding the battlefield, and raised his battle shield and shouted: "Arrow formation! Little grasshopper, illuminate! The chamber master took three steps forward, focusing on the front, leaving it to the side! Excellency Jekong, the left side will be handed over to you, we will guard the right side, Lord Jonah, you still need to take care of ......"
A snake arrow rose into the air, and the volley exploded with a bright white light. Elliot did not give any further instructions to Jonah, for he knew that the astrologer would not be able to hear half of the words in his ears. The tentacles of "Woo Woo ......" struck overwhelmingly, and Toba's fist, Jekong's knife, Sibby's arrows, and the knight's spear simultaneously puffed up the air, making an earth-shattering explosion, and under this stormy attack, Jonah, who was protected behind his companions, held Long Ji's cold body in his arms, completely forgetting that he was in the middle of the battlefield.
"Long Ji. He said, "I finally found you, but I didn't expect to meet in this situation, it was much more difficult than I thought, and there were many fewer waves than I imagined...... Why haven't you woken up yet? You're going to wake up, right?"
The Oriental woman in her arms had a calm face. Her eyes were closed, there was not a trace of blood on her face, her long eyelashes did not tremble, and Jonah found that he had not seen her for too long to feel so strange about it, but his throbbing heart told him that the woman who was sleeping in his arms was the one he had been looking for, her snow-white earlobes, her long black hair entwined with silver threads, the faint fragrance of her body, her spring-like fingers, the silver badge on her breast, her waist, her smile. Yes, there should be a smile on the corner of that soft mouth, right? Even if she is always trapped by the knot in her heart, when she meets again after a long absence, she will definitely show a smile, and that smile is the only motivation for the young man to overcome obstacles to get to today, but the cold lips are closed, where is the crescent-like smile?
A volcano is about to burst out, but it suddenly freezes, and Jonah's soul falls into the abyss. He couldn't move, he couldn't think, he forgot to breathe, he didn't dare to move a finger, he didn't even dare to look at the woman, for fear of adding a little extra weight to her. β...... Long Ji, have you forgotten what you said?" he said.
"Oops!" Toba had just struck a heavy blow to break up the enemy line, when a tentacle hidden in a dead corner suddenly flew to his side and shot straight into the center of the team. A ray of black light struck, and if you zoomed in, you could see countless twisted and broken particles of souls wriggling in it, each fragment containing the power of a vicious curse. Just as the black tentacles were about to hit Jonah, suddenly everything slowed down, and a man's voice muttered very dissatisfiedly: "Damn! What are you doing in my chassis? Isn't this disrespectful to the master? I don't know that the new "Property Law" has made the strictest regulations on your behavior of breaking into the door? I want to have a shotgun and immediately open fire on you...... No, it's not you.,It's the obscene uncle over there.,How old are you and still playing tentacle games.,I don't know if contemporary Lori doesn't like octopus ***ACG anymore?
This space is not the world above, but the Pure Land that hangs between the two worlds, and the one who protests now is naturally the master of the Pure Land.
