Section 31: Freedom

'Boom-'

The tide of flames stops at the wall of construction. Both the impact and the temperature were swallowed up by the invisible barrier, and together with the flames themselves, they turned into analytical data in Jiang Yu's eyes.

He sensed something interesting, and it was familiar to him. He sensed some kind of turbid and fiery divine power in the flames. And even if this divine power is muddy due to being mixed into the darkness, it actually has the same level of power authority as the power of the double A-level nameless thunder god in his body.

A demigod.

Maia of the Lord of the Rings worldview, a fallen sub-god. Demigods in the infinite multiverse, originally bright, but embracing the immortal body of darkness.

And between divine power and divine power, as long as the distance is close enough, there can be a certain degree of resonance.

It hasn't woken up yet.

It's about to wake up.

The wills of the reincarnators collide at high speed in the mental network to determine the order. The opportunity to strike first certainly exists, but the individual who can exercise this opportunity and strike the first blow of this battle is destined to be only one.

This person's name is Zheng Zha.

The moment the wall of construction hit the tide of flames, he silently exhaled a small breath of slightly hot air.

……………………

- Flame ...... My strength is also a flame.

- And according to Chu Xuan, in the power of the same origin, the upper position will cover the lower position. And I feel that my flames, in terms of strength, should be on par with this ancient flame demon. Or even like I'm a little stronger?

- Hmm...... It seems like this. And...... I also happen to have some abilities and want to experiment.

In the depths of Zheng Zha's eyes, the pitch-black flames flowed endlessly. His mind was dramatically accelerated by the opening of the high-level genetic lock. Everything slowed down in his observations, like a snail crawling with difficulty.

The battle plan has been drawn up. He is a sharp knife, the killer of the main attack. The other companions are assisted by his combat effectiveness. The way to defeat the Flame Demon was judged by Jiang Yu to engulf the flames with flames, but the battlefield that engulfed the flames was not here.

Not here.

Fighting here, even if you win, the few dwarves hiding in the caves, as well as the elves who were thrown to the safety of the rear by Jiang Yu, will be wiped out in the course of the battle. And once that happens, it will undoubtedly mean that the hard work of the Middle-earth team will be useless due to this negligence.

Victory will fade because of this, so the battlefield can't be here.

And Zheng Zha remembers it very clearly, in the Lord of the Rings movies and in the original books. When Gandalf defeated the Firefiend, he first threw him into the abyss beneath Moria, and doused the flames on the Firefiend's body with icy lake water. Later, in a long tug-of-war, they ascended to the Tower of Turin, located deep in the earth, and finally wiped out the life of the ancient fallen Maia with their swords.

The flames on the Firefiend are afraid of water, though it probably wasn't ordinary water.

So, does the inflammation in your body also have the same specification of defects?

Zheng Zha has thought about this question. And the answer seems to be no. Because he knows where the anger in his heart comes from. And in the world he knew, there didn't seem to be a deeper source of fire than the dark sea of emotions.

- I'm special.

Zheng Zha thought so.

- My flame cannot be extinguished.

Zheng Zhe thinks so.

- My flame is stronger than Jiang Yu's thunder. I may not be able to really deal with him, but he can't break my flames.

He is not Jiang Yu. He has no cognitive fear of the fourth order of the genetic lock. When Zhao Weikong was defeated and died under the hundred soldiers of Yan Zhu, and the main god announced the reincarnation points in his ear, he was certainly a little surprised, but more of a matter of course. Because when he was engaged in the battle, he really didn't perceive much fear in his heart, and how much threat he sensed from the other party.

The Fourth Order is like that—maybe you will soon be able to reach the Fourth Order, or even partially come into contact with the Fourth Order. And this mass of flame in his body may be able to grasp and possess the flame after coming into contact with the power realm at that stage.

- I can win this battle, or rather...... It's just me, and probably it can be.

He thought of him stepping forward on his tiptoes in the time that had been turned relatively slowly by his high-speed thinking. Pitch-black flames poured out of his body and gathered in front of his little raised hand in a stretched and lengthened sense of time.

The heart is beating more briskly than ever. Zheng Zhe realized that his spirit was full of faith, and although this confidence could not be turned into firewood, it could push him forward with faster and bold steps. He felt that he was doing a bold thing, a bold thing, but he also felt that his ability was worthy of this bold and bold thing.

- No, maybe it's not that I'm aggressive, but they're all becoming conservative.

- Jiang Yu is like this, Chu Xuan...... It seems that they have also fallen into such a predicament.

Pitch-black flames gather in the palm of your hand. And soon reached the limit of what his maneuvering power could control. And under normal circumstances, after he reaches this stage, he should drive the flames in a suitable way. In this way, a variety of war skills with different effects and specifications can be brought into play. Hundred Soldiers' Tomb and Tornado Heaven are both good choices, of course, if you want to weaken the other party first, then using Erosion Darkness is not a wrong decision.

But he didn't do that, he just let the flames in his palm gather, and then one step closer. The limits of the dominant model were crossed by his will in an instant, and the progress of compression was still advancing.

The slumbering fire, which should not have been awakened, realized the crisis.

The fire demon, who was supposed to let the Middle-earth team play a round of first moves, and then be able to fight back, was awakened by a sudden sense of crisis.

Everything happens between lightning and fire.

And the pitch-black flames in Zheng Zhe's palm were still compressing and converging towards the central part.

He was confident in that, though he didn't know what the effect of compressing the flames would be. It was the first time he had made such an attempt, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with putting this first attempt on the battlefield where Jiang Yu had emphasized the importance several times.

After all, he didn't feel the need to be as careful as Jiang Yu - he was as careful as a mother-in-law. He didn't know why Jiang Yu was still thinking about it for a long time even after winning the battle. It is clear that you and others only need to move forward to win.

So he made his own proposal there. Let Jiang Yu let go of that useless distraction, just move forward according to his own thoughts. Anyway, the responsibility of thinking about the problem was originally borne by Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan was also quite interested in that kind of thing. And the result is also gratifying, Jiang Yu, who is always cranky, followed his own advice.

- I was right.

He thought as he watched the fire demon in front of him awaken.

The voices of the companions filled with various emotions can be heard in the psychic link. There are quite a few parts of it that can't actually keep up with the speed of thinking, so there are only brief surprises and surprises. The other part is puzzling and irritating, as well as tactical advice for dealing with the Firefiend's early awakening.

This kind of thing can be done by yourself. Chu Xuan should also be on his side, because when he put forward a suggestion to let Jiang Yu save some brains, he played a positive role in his proposal that should have a supportive effect.

That's a good thing, because the functions of the team should be so clearly distributed. Although Chu Xuan seemed to have become a bit of a mother-in-law, he was thinking repeatedly about a so-called crisis. But considering that he has always been the one who deals with that kind of problem, it is not a problem for him to maintain his position.

So......

This is the end of the flow of thoughts.

Zheng Zha was very happy that his whim attempt had achieved a good result - Yan Yan, who was moving forward with him, completed the compression and shaping he expected in the palm of his hand. And after far exceeding the limits of its own dominance model, it regained stability in a new form.

The success rate seems to be only 1 in 1,000 in the case of reverse extrapolation. And out of the remaining nine hundred and ninety-nine, the probability of nine hundred is to explode on the spot, and the probability of ninety-nine is that there is still a little room for explosion. But now that it has hit the thousandth or less that points to success. Then this adventure of his own is also worthy of the self-confidence he has.

After all, I am so special. You are destined to win.

The Firefiend is right in front of you. It unleashed a defensive flame as it awoke. However, Zheng Zha had already burst into front of it, leaning out of one hand, clutching an abyss.

Zheng felt that she might need to give the skill a new name. But for a while, he couldn't find the corresponding suitable noun from the melon seeds in his head.

However, Zheng Zhe has a general understanding of his current state - he is so confident, and his self-confidence is so suitable for his own ability. All the difficulties and obstacles that once seemed insurmountable have now become inconsequential episodes. And you can undoubtedly do whatever you want to do according to your own will.

This state of mind, which is called 'at ease', may have some truth.

………………………………

'Boom——!!!! ’

What happened?

Jiang Yu stared at the battlefield in front of him, and there was a huge amount of unreasonableness in his eyes. He remembered that he had clearly planned a strategy that was not necessarily perfect, but it was certainly quite thorough and detailed - he would start to build a domain restriction battlefield by himself, and Zhao Yingkong would summon the Reaper Army to attract frontal firepower and anchor the spatial structure. Zhu Wen calculated the terrain, and Zhan Lan provided the inducement, leading the fire demon to the nearest hollow area from the underworld-

- And in the end, Li Shuaixi and Cheng Xiao, who were behemoths, provided the impetus with brute force, Zhang Jie and Chu Xuan corrected the trajectory, and finally, Zheng Zhe made the final decision, with the current highest-level output of the Zhongzhou team, relying on the first move, to beat the fire demon into the underground abyss, and cooperate with each other to suppress it until it is completely defeated, or sealed.

This should be a very suitable plan - this plan can maximize the combat effectiveness of all personnel of the Middle-earth team.

And he and the others have already relied on the guidance of Taurrell to gain the first hand, no matter how you look at it, you should have the space to go all out. And even if the division is unfavorable, there is room for calm retreat.

That's how it should be.

But...... Why?

Jiang Yu couldn't understand. He saw Zheng Zha striding forward when he shouldn't have taken the initiative, and he saw Zheng Zhe's palm gathering some kind of unimaginable power.

It was a darkness, an abyss. If Zheng Zha can be a little stronger, he will even open the fourth-order gene lock. Then Jiang Yu will not hesitate to confirm it as the prototype of the 'original darkness'. However, the current Zheng Zhe, at most, is standing on the edge of the fourth order, and may be slightly stronger than his current self, but no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be too far.

He didn't know what was going on, but whether he knew it or not, he had seen the power in Zheng Zhe's hands appear with his own eyes - maybe Zheng Zha had discovered a certain fighter plane, or maybe Zheng Zha was hiding some killer feature. In any case, power cannot be faked. And he also admitted that Zheng Zha had the authority to make his own decisions when he captured the fighter.

This makes sense — if Zheng Zha finds some fleeting opportunity.

But this plausibility cannot be proven, because everything happens between lightning and fire.

He saw Zheng Zhe, who was clutching the dark mass, crash into the Flame Demon before the rest of his teammates could make any cooperation. Even Zhan Lan, who had the fastest adjustment speed, only had time to unleash a temporarily activated mental power impact. However, this help proved to be meaningless in the next moment.

He saw darkness erupt in the fire demon's chest—ancient Maia's arms struggling to rise, but how weak she looked. An angry roar followed, but there was a weakness in this seemingly majestic voice.

And it only lasted for a moment, a brief moment - the darkness that hit the fire demon's chest immediately generated a second burst. And in the next instant, the pitch-black flames that burst out evaporated and incinerated all the surrounding areas around the fire demon and the area behind them.

A huge tunnel was carved out by this unreasonable pitch-black force. And at the end of the tunnel, it leads to a distant abyss in the darkness of the unknown.

Jiang Yu's plan was completed.

However, Zheng Zhe was the only one who completed the plan. All the rest of his companions who should have contributed some of their strength in this tactic were all left behind by Zheng Zhe.

Including him, including Jiang Yu himself. All he could do was look at the tunnel that appeared out of thin air and led to the depths of the pitch black underground. Dumbfounded for a few moments.

Soon, he chased after him and was at the top of the Tower of Turin, where the Fire Demon was supposed to die. I saw Zheng Zhe and the debris of destruction at his feet.

The flame demon that no longer burns is at Zheng Zhe's feet.

The huge head of the fire demon was between Zheng Zha's five fingers.

"Doesn't that seem that difficult?"

He saw Zheng Zhe tilting his head to look at him, with a face that was as stupid as ever.

It's like...... Nothing has changed.
