Chapter 238: Aftermath
With the destruction of the Bloodthirsty Demon and the vanishing of the Demon Lord of All Changes, the space between reality and the Nibelungen began to crumble.
In the place where the demon was destroyed, a pair of scarlet bones lay quietly, and the whole took on the shape of a cross.
This is a dragon xenomorph that has been used as a container to contain the arrival of the demonic origin, and the desecrated power of the subspace has completely polluted it.
Lu Mingfei did not hesitate, and the holy sword that danced with the golden flame of faith split the scarlet keel cross in half, and the holy flame burst into flames, incinerating the contaminated wreckage into ashes.
After that, he re-ascended to the exemplary armor and was named after the "Spirit of Words. The power of the "Eight Divergent" repairs the damaged and detached parts of the armor as before.
"If this ability can be brought back to the warband, then the Norbock brothers will be able to make it easier."
Lu Mingfei couldn't help but think of the very good technical sergeant of the Weeping Warrior Band, the first set of power armor made of various model parts he wore when he first became Astarte was from the hands of the Norbock brothers; Because of the fierce battle and the lack of supplies, he had to overwork the equipment of the war group all the time.
"Boom—"
The roar of the propellers gradually increased, and the CH-47 transport helicopter with the golden double-headed eagle logo painted on the fuselage returned, and the searchlight confirmed that it was safe before landing on the spot in St. Peter's Square on the spot.
The first to appear were the neurotics of Watt Alheim, who wore various models of Kamen Rider, Iron Man, Neon Genesis Evangelion's life-size mech, and other unknown metal-like armor, and rushed off the plane in a hurry, and those who didn't know thought that these people had come here to participate in the Comic Con.
They first searched to see if there were any body parts left about the dragons, and after searching to no avail, they collectively ran to the model armor and took a group photo.
"What's the matter, isn't the battle armor improved by the emperor himself super powerful!?"
Alchemy Sergeant Ronald. Don walked over with an excited face.
“…… His Majesty the Emperor...... Really possessed of you? ”
Lu Mingfei did not answer, but carefully looked at Old Tang from top to bottom, his eyes were a little ...... Envy.
"Yes! That's cool...... Ahem, I mean His Majesty did borrow my body and use a lot of magical alchemy knowledge on the Paradigm Warframe. Of course, the most important thing is to put a lot of effort into your alchemy sword 'Jingyue'. ”
Old Tang instinctively wanted to slip his mouth, but he still said with a straight face in front of his own head of the regiment.
"It's a great honor......"
Lu Mingfei sighed that if it was placed in that universe, perhaps Lao Tang would have been offered to be a "living saint" by the Imperial State Church - provided that he could withstand the torture and interrogation of the torturers of the fighting nuns to verify his "purity".
"By the way, and," Old Tang's expression became excited again, and he pointed to the members of the equipment department who were posing for unknown reasons and posing with the exemplary battle armor, "Those researchers have also witnessed all this, and after seeing all the mysterious knowledge displayed by the emperor, they decided to convert to His Majesty the emperor on the spot and respect him as the 'God of Alchemy Machinery'!" ”
"Materialistic machinery plus idealistic faith, how about it, doesn't it sound quite novel?"
"......" Lu Mingfei was silent.
"Although these people don't look serious, they are all high-tech talents, and they are responsible for rubbing the prototype of the equipment, and I am responsible for alchemy...... Perfect! Old Tang smiled.
“…… I follow the will of His Majesty the Emperor. Lu Mingfei didn't say much, as long as His Majesty the Emperor had no opinion, he would have no opinion.
"Hey, Don!"
"Hey, Brother Fingal! Have a happy holiday! ”
A familiar cry came from behind him, and Fingal, who was half naked, ran over, and the two stinky brothers who had gone to the student union hall to see the ballet girls eagerly hooked their shoulders and backs, talking and laughing.
"Needless to say, we have to pack up our armor and slip away, I don't know how long the Italian Air Force has given us the right of passage...... Anyway, the Kassel Academy is really awesome, and there are people in the army. ”
Old Don and the new believers of the "Alchemy Machine God" didn't stay long, they dragged the Exemplar armor into the transport helicopter and then took off and left the dark city of Rome.
"It's time for this to be over, Captain Lu?"
Fingal asked in a low voice, he didn't know where to get a coat to put on himself.
The phantom of the Colosseum blocked everything, and he failed to become a spectator of the arena, so he naturally did not know what was happening inside.
But with the eye-catching blood stains and explosion marks in the square, and the small Gundam that was airlifted, the battle that Lu Mingfei experienced in the arena was probably no less fierce than the battle that killed the White King in Japan.
"For now."
Lu Mingfei breathed a long sigh of relief, the beating fire of faith and the golden and generous energy sword body of the Pure Moon Holy Sword had disappeared, returning to the original alchemy realm that had not been stimulated by mortal steel.
You'll have to deal with the aftermath of this battle before moving on to the next one.
Sirens sounded from afar, and the Vatican's anomaly seemed to have finally caught the attention of the Roman police and even the military, and police cars with flashing red and blue police lights drove into St. Peter's Square.
"Do you want to call the principal to get ready to catch people?" Fingal had already raised his hand in advance.
"The two of you can rest assured, these are people from the Gattuso family, who have come to take care of the aftermath of the matter."
Secretary Patsy's handsome face was not shocked, and he still looked polite.
Sure enough, the "cops" who got out of the police car didn't even pay attention to Lu Mingfei and Fingal, and they carried out a carpet search with various mechanical tools to avoid leaving any traces of the dragons;
There were large areas of residual blood on the ground - there were Lu Mingfei's and demon's, and the people of the Gattuso family also wanted to extract some residues as samples, but they were forbidden by Lu Mingfei's drinking order, and after Patsy nodded his head, they could only stop this plan and directly wash off these traces with a special solvent.
"It's ...... That chainsaw sword? ”
Fingal watched Lu Mingfei collect pieces of blood-stained metal fragments, including some chipping chain teeth, and remembered the chainsaw sword in Lu Mingfei's hand earlier that hacked the mutated Pope to death.
"Well, the fangs of the ruin. Its ...... 'Living Spirit' is valiant, inflicting the final scars on the Bloodthirsty Maniac before collapsing. ”
Lu Mingfei said solemnly.
For him, the weapons that accompany him in battle are like his fighting brothers, and they must have a final destination.
Ambulances pulled up neatly in front of St. Peter's Basilica, and paramedics carried out a Catholic who was still unconscious, given the large number of victims, and the subsequent procedures such as amnestic hypnosis were estimated to take a long time.
Lu Mingfei was not too worried about their "safety", after all, it was His Majesty the Emperor who saved them from being polluted, there is no doubt about it.
There is no doubt that the home world is extremely lucky, only because it is protected by the emperor.
Unlike the worlds of the Empire, the destruction caused by heretics or aliens in a matter of days or even minutes would take generations of the Empire to repair and maintain, not to mention those that could only be hopelessly destroyed with a whirlwind torpedo along with the corrupted planet.
“…… I'm sorry, but I couldn't help this time. ”
Caesar. Gattuso lowered his haughty head, and a look of shame appeared on his handsome, sculpture-like face.
Even Fingal has shown great fighting prowess, while he, a self-proclaimed "general who can fight with soldiers", is like a fragile baby under the protection of his family.
"There is no need to blame myself, it is one of my responsibilities to protect you." Lu Mingfei said calmly.
"......" Caesar opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"Real plus critical damage...... Fingal muttered.
……
Seven hours after the city of Rome was restored, news of the Vatican's attack by an "unknown terrorist organization" and the tragic death of the Pope spread throughout the world.
Vast numbers of people are beginning to panic – after all, it has been less than eight years since the last terrorist attack that shocked the world.
But for the Secret Party, for the Gattuso family, this is better than a title like "Dragon Attack" that can subvert human cognition.
Although the corpses of the aliens and demons were completely destroyed by Lu Mingfei, the top-secret photos taken by the CH-47 transport helicopter proved that Lu Mingfei was indeed fighting the terrifying "unknown dragons", among which the undocumented exoskeleton battle mech named the "Flying Wing Zero Primary" provided significant help.
As for revealing who was responsible for the blackout in Rome, the attack on the Vatican, the fall of the Swiss Guard, and the death of the Pope — this is not Lu Mingfei's concern.
His Majesty seems to have foreseen the evil plans of the Weaver of Truth, secretly using faith to corrupt humanity and summon demons through the remnants of the channel through which he used his gravitational power.
Lu Mingfei was only glad that he was the emperor's weapon and blade, and did not disappoint His Majesty, and successfully destroyed the bloodthirsty demon who came to his hometown with an alien body.
And Lu Mingfei didn't stay in Italy for too long, and while the Gattuso family wiped his ass anxiously, he hurriedly sent this "god of war and plague" who had an accident wherever he went, back to the Kassel Academy in the United States.
As for handing in the written report of the incident between the academy and the secret party, Lu Mingfei handed it over to Fingal, who can speak well, to be responsible for writing it, as long as he does not reveal the existence of the "emperor" and the "demon", he can make it up however he wants.
On the plane to Chicago, Lu Mingfei fell asleep.
In a trance, he saw the beautiful starry sky again, and the huge half-moon in the distance formed a complete circle with the reflection on the sea.
"Welcome brother here again."
Lu Mingze sat in the shadow of the moon fishing, his long sea rod hanging above an ice cave, and he said with a smile:
"His Majesty the Emperor has a new revelation. And He wants to hear your story. ”
