Section 22: Viciousness
The King of the Rings should know what regret is.
If he can go back in time, then he will definitely do everything in his power to prevent the resurgence of the ontological Zhao Yingkong - he thinks that he is 'inevitable'.
However, such a prevarication could not even convince him himself. It was like a piece of rice paper soaked in water, not to mention poking it with a finger, and even the slightest gust of wind could easily blow it through him. And he really realized himself again, accompanied by the deep heartbeat of his heart.
- 'You are a hypocrite. ’
The inner demon whispered in his ear, the voice becoming more and more frequent, and it may not be long before the body of the Ring Spirit will not be able to avoid this heterogeneous emotion from the depths of his heart.
But he doesn't deny it. He knew that even if he drank the regret pill, he wouldn't be able to change the past—as long as Zhao Yingkong appeared in front of him, then he would listen to her no matter what. He longed to know her will, he wanted her to be safe, or...... Extrication.
- I know.
So he said in the depths of his heart. As he spoke, he raised the sword of Mogul and pointed it at the powerful enemy he was unwilling to face.
"I have a reason to be in the past."
"I know."
The sword light burst out violently, and the wind was sliced and crossed before it could be cut. The immortal slash enveloped in the light of annihilation was indestructible, and with a single collision, the blade of Mogul melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun. Even if Zhao Weikong had been prepared and reacted in time, the aftermath of annihilation also left an extremely narrow hole in the outer armor of the ring spirit.
They were all assassins. Their fighting skills have the same origins. They were able to move over this barren wasteland thousands of times without touching a single piece of dust. And the accidental collision between them was enough to change the landscape within a few kilometers.
'Boom——! 'Entangled breaths, generate a leak.
The wasteland suddenly caved in, and dozens of radial rifts stretched out of the basin. The Blade of Morgul collapsed and reshaped a dozen more handles, and the two high-speed moving shadows were faster than the surging storm.
"I don't want to fight you." He struggled to find the flaws in his opponent, and he hoped that words would do a little trick. This is exactly what his hypocrisy is all about, and he doesn't deny his actions and inner drive.
"I know."
But he failed. Zhao Yingkong's immortal slash was still as fast as ever. The most gifted sister is the most powerful one after all. It was only a little before the light of the annihilated heart caught up with an inch.
'Peng-' A mountain in the distance, slanting open. If the Annihilation Strike hits the Ringwraith's body, its body will enjoy the same result.
He was still struggling, and he hid the inch-sized glow in the spatial fault. The moment Sakura struck the air, he took the opportunity to move behind the girl, and the blade of Mogul, which had been reforged again, stabbed straight down—
The result was that one of his severed hands, the Ring Spirit Armor, was severed by the Annihilation Heart Light along with the formless body within. And the self-healing power of the ring spirit cannot repair it in a short time.
Small means can't hide Zhao Yingkong, and his urgency puts him at a disadvantage. He had to do his best to push an inch to avoid being sent back to Mordor directly by the subsequent derivative slashes, and he even suspected that if Zhao Yingkong was given a little more time, she would even be able to directly cut off the contract between Sauron and him, and make Ruikong/Yalishandra's sacrifice come to naught.
'Bell——! 'The Blade of Morgul, which had been reshaped about thirty-third times, finally crashed into the black Immortal Slash. In Zhao Yingkong's slightly surprised gaze, the Ring King's eyes lit up under his helmet.
Straight to the Eye of Death. A high-level enhancement rooted in the depths of the soul that will not be lost even if the body is destroyed. It does not compete with the light of the heart that annihilates the attribute.
It can't fight against the light of the heart, but it can fight against the physical effects of the light of the heart. The 'fact' of the annihilation of the Morgul's Blade was repeatedly 'killed' by the power of the Eye of Death. It's as if it's strong enough to resist the level of the Immortal Slash!
Zhao Fukong didn't use this ability on Xia's body, he lost his physical body, and it took too long to analyze a divine weapon and give it a direct death effect. And his other skill was also not applied at that moment, because he needed to maintain his state and computing power to deal with the opponent in front of him who was really worth paying attention to.
He just didn't expect Kasumi to be able to shape the singularity of time and space with his body. And that really only delayed him for a while, and did not have a real killing effect on him. And now......
Clone: Quadruple Existence.
The clone that resisted the immortal slash was suddenly shattered. And the other two shadows pierced out from two completely different angles! Their swords are swift and merciless, and they have the same skill and speed as their main body, Zhao Fukong.
"I ...... Ruikong is not dead, I want to save her. "His body, his sword, is hidden in the first soundwave. When the two doppelgangers pointed at Zhao Yingkong's heart and head, the real killing move was aimed at the girl's spine.
Time and space froze for a moment.
The power of the Void operates, and the power of death is stored inside the Immortal Slash wrapped in the light of annihilation. The girl delicately crossed the time and space that had been frozen for a moment by her will, dodging a sword from the back, and cutting off the heads of the two clones.
"I know." A slashed blade whose arc ends in contact with the top of the Sword of Attack behind it.
The tip of the sword collided with the tip of the sword, and the Immortal Slash and the Blade of Mogul froze in the air.
She saw the confusion, incomprehension, and a faint hint of anger in the depths of the Ringwraith's eyes.
"Then why are you still ......?"
Her reply, with a vacant hand, pressed gently to her chest.
"Ruikong, isn't it right here?"
This is not a pointless move.
The intact death rune that resides inside the body is activated by gestures and will. And the King of the Rings was stunned, and at some point, the aftermath of the slash that was outlining and spreading on the entire battlefield had quietly pieced together a map with geometric beauty!
The atlas has power, and its specifications are the same as those of an enlarged version of Death Rune. If it was placed in the east, it would be a high-level innate killing array. And when it is driven, 'death' befalls every corner of this array.
Death Rune is the Rune used to kill the gods, and its prototype can bring the gods a fated death.
And the King of the Rings is equivalent to Maia, the first god in this world.
So...... Drive it.
Countless red-black sword lights grew from the depths of the earth, filling the earth and the sky, and bringing 'death' to anything that was captured.
And before Zhao Yingkong was drowned by the rain of swords, Zhao Yingkong's voice also clearly poured into his ears.
"Ruikong is dead, and you killed her with your own hands."
"Ruikong's legacy is with me, and you have already come into contact with another me."
"And now you come to me and tell me there's another void...... Then I guess Ruikong left a secret hand on your body that day, which is roughly the same as my side. But now, she's not on your side. ”
"It's the woman, isn't it?" Her voice pointed to Alexandra. "She raised you from the dead."
Her words, hit faster than the Death Blade.
"And your life, if you think of it, can only be built on her sacrifice. So, you're just feeling guilty. You just ......" Her words, along with the blade of the Immortal Slash, stabbed into the chest of the Ringwraith. “…… is looking for an excuse for himself to be exonerated from his guilt. ”
"You're a hypocrisy." She said.
- 'You are a hypocrite. ’
………………………………
- I see...... I understand.
- I finally understand what you're doing...... Adam, Chu Xuan! You demons...... You have tempted each other and oppressed each other, but you have paved the way with our blood!
In the battlefield of Rivendell, the reincarnations, the indigenous coalition, the Ringwraith, and the Ghost Legion have turned the entire battle situation into a paste that can only be described as chaos at this moment, almost all of them are swinging their blades at the living or dead things around them, and almost all of them are expecting to snatch the golden ring that was guarded by the spear-wielding girl, the white-robed wizard and several warriors of all races on the high platform of the meeting.
Nyos is not one of them. He realized that the One Ring had a shortcoming—the higher the realm of power, the easier it was to be bewitched by the Ring of Power. However, the fourth-order has its own means to suppress inner restlessness, but below the fourth-order, the closer it is to the fourth-order, the more terrifying the impact.
He struggled with all his might to pacify and suppress Richard, keeping Nan Yan's core forces calm a little further away from the battlefield, and venting the fire of greed around those Ring Spirits and Ghost Warriors. And he himself is not deep enough because of the genetic lock, so he only needs to drive some meditation treasures to avoid temptation.
The Nanyanzhou team has already shed too much blood.
Even if the core members are still there, the damage to the secondary combat power has already reached a level that is difficult to make up for in a short period of time. He didn't expect anything to be gained from this team fight, as long as he managed to get out of the fight, it would be satisfying for him.
As a result, he managed to stay away from the center of the battlefield.
But it was precisely because he was far away that his eyes also captured more fruits of information that were difficult to find in the past.
- The secondary power of the Middle-earth team is gone. With the exception of a previously reserved garrison, all of their members are nowhere to be found.
- The fourth-order reincarnators of the Central Continent and the Great Western Continent all left the place where the Supreme Ring was placed, intentionally or unintentionally.
- except for the woman.
Neos stared at Kasumi, who in his memory had a near-dispensable presence within the Middle-earth team. But even so, he could tell at a glance that Xia was Jiang Yu's absolute follower. Her loyalty to him is far greater than her identification with the team.
Jiang Yu and Chu Xuan are not all the way...... Not exactly. Xia will appear here, it should not be Chu Xuan's most original plan. But even so, her actions failed to exceed the margin left by Chu Xuan.
Because sooner or later, she's going to leave, just like the assassin girl has already left for some reason.
And perhaps, originally, in Chu Xuan's plan, the Supreme Demon Ring ...... It was originally used to make the marauders of Nanyan, Beibing, and even the Great Western Continent compete with each other.
He watched as the mighties of the Arctic Continent attacked the gun-wielding girl. He saw that the secondary combat power that had been well protected by the Arctic powerhouses before was also exposed, and he threw himself into the battle desperately.
- They are sacrifices.
Neos was so sure. In his third eye, he observed the blood-colored torrent that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, but actually lingered in the sky above the battlefield.
That's luck, the luck of humanity, the luck of the world, and they're all together with the countless killings.
This world is different from any other world.
Neos had known not long ago that the world had been favored by powerful beings in some danger of destruction, giving them great power, including the reincarnations. Therefore, in this world, the leap of rank should be extremely easy.
Both Nakatsu and Onishi have verified this with plural examples. The leap of the fourth level is basically not very difficult for those who have abundant resources.
So, the Middle-Continent team ...... No, Chu Xuan deliberately left the Supreme Demon Ring. The two teams of reincarnators who have not suffered a serious lack of combat power are deliberately placed in the area closest to the Lord of the Rings and basically do not interfere with any protection. And his purpose is to let the Ring play a role in exacerbating the conflict of luck at the node where it will inevitably break free, and he wants to let the Ring provoke the conflict between the third-order reincarnations!
He wants the world to make a special bet on its temporary protagonists, and he wants to let these multiple third-order powerhouses forcibly take that crucial step! And he didn't let the third-order members of the Zhongzhou team stay here, precisely because these fourth-order who were forcibly raised and promoted could only play the function of consumables in his eyes!
- We are consumables.
- And here...... It's a furnace.
Neos remembered the golden apple barrier that had been formed early and had collapsed early. And he didn't find the whereabouts of the golden apples that formed the enchantment, at this moment.
They're not here - they don't even have wreckage. Neos believed that they might be lurking in some cognitive blind spot or space-time fault at the moment, covering all of Rivendell. And soon—
'Roar——!!! A terrible wolf howl rang out, and the giant wolf's form swelled and overflowed with a strong aura. The captain of the Arctic Continent team took that step and immediately fell into a frenzy, and in Neos's eyes, crimson luck was also surging towards his body!
The world has raised.
Chu Xuan's arrangement will soon bear fruit.
Neos didn't know what the hidden ritual was for. But if it were him, he would take 'refining the Supreme Ring' as the primary goal.
Because then you can directly master the powerful combat power, and you can directly destroy the Ring and kill Sauron. And in this way, no matter what the plans of their opponents are, they can immediately get out of this chaotic battlefield.
——Chu Xuan......
He gritted his teeth gently. This was certainly not the whole of Chu Xuan's plan.
But from Chu Xuan's purpose, he could deduce Adam's decision-if Adam was the driving force behind the destruction of the world, then this move would be able to wear down all the remnants of the world itself. And if it can be offside and peach, it will make the Zhongzhou team lose a lot.
– Adam ......
The current battle situation is undoubtedly the tacit promotion of the two in the confrontation. They are going to turn this battle into a tug-of-war, plundering the fortune of the world while calculating their opponents against each other. And their true purpose is still hidden in the dark.
- This is not a battle we can participate in, and it is no longer possible to take advantage of the fire.
"Let's go!" Neos made a decision, and he made a request to his companions.
He was a step slower. Or rather, he's already in the middle of the game.
The omen of death struck suddenly, and in the vertical eyes, everything turned crimson.
A huge out-of-control momentum poured out from his side. At this moment, he recalled Nan Yan's internal vulnerabilities in the team where his combat power was unbalanced.
"Richard, strong, don't listen to you!"
"The Lord of the Rings, mine!"
The Berserker reached the runaway Fourth Order in the Crimson Tide. A heavy, double-edged axe slashed down at his rebels.
"You...... Idiot! ”
The sound of flesh and blood breaking sounded, and there was one less variable on the battlefield.
