Section 23: Arraignment
Willing Power Operation——
At some point, gifts of camaraderie tend to bring greater despair. For example, Richard at this moment, he would rather Cheng Xiao not give him the wish power that this group is rapidly depleting in the past.
He regained himself.
What catches your eye is the bloody wreckage of ruins. Elves, dwarves, humans...... Everything that dared to come within fifty meters of him had been cut into pieces by the double-edged axe. And in the scars of this cruel battlefield, only the last spiritual power girl of the Nanyanzhou team was curled up in a ball and shivering, hiding behind a broken stone and looking at him with a frightened expression.
The wreckage of Nyos lies at the feet of Snowbell. The Southern Yanzhou team did not have the resources to purchase the Rebirth Ankh for resurrection.
He subconsciously took a step towards Xue Ling'er, but in this step, he clearly saw the fear in Xue Ling'er's eyes.
"No, don't kill me!" The girl's courage was completely shattered, and her cowardice as usual was useless. However, the tears rolling in her eyes were the sharpest knives at the moment.
- What did I do?
Richard opened his mouth. What he felt was the majestic power that filled his body. The wish power given by Cheng Xiao will be completely exhausted in a few seconds, and the madness and greed hidden under the power will also dominate this body again.
In the distance, the frenzied werewolves are storming the central platform. Storm after storm and wave of air struck, and the berserker's desire for war and greed gradually drifted - even when he turned his back, he knew that the Ring was there. Even as much as he tried to prevent himself from thinking in that direction, his body was constantly making demands on his will.
The Lord of the Rings...... This body longs for the One Ring. Richard knew that he could suppress this desire, just as he had suppressed his boiling killing intent countless times in the past. But......
Too late.
Even if you wake up, you can't change anything. Richard's heart was filled with remorse, self-blame, and confusion. He desperately needed someone to guide him, but the only one who could guide him was permanently silent through his hands.
How could Nyos die? A man as intelligent, proud, brave and decisive as he is. How could he die in his own hands so inexplicably?
Shouldn't he still have some hole cards? Shouldn't he have prepared some calculations? Right...... Maybe the corpse in front of him was just an ordinary trick, and his true consciousness and soul were already hidden somewhere else?
Richard wanted to convince himself that – but he couldn't. The sharp perception of the Fourth Order and the flashback of memories in his mind told him the truth. His betrayal was unexpected for Neos, and the blond young man had no defence against him. When you do it yourself, it's neat. And Neos's last struggle was only to let himself swing the battle axe, subconsciously avoiding Xue Ling'er's cheeks.
He's dead.
His last wish before he died was to let more than one person in the Nanyanzhou team live. Even if the future that this team battle points to is already destined to be a bleak shadow. He also hopes that his comrades in the team can struggle as much as possible in this fate.
So...... So be it.
Murderous intent and greed poured out of the limbs, and it soon engulfed reason. And Richard didn't hesitate any longer, he reached out and grabbed the girl and the corpse of the wise man at her feet with the screams of Snow Bell, and covered it with his own aura of power.
'Bang——! The act of throwing triggers a chain of sonic booms. Sheriff would survive this throw, and she would eventually be able to reach a distant location that Richard himself didn't know.
- I hope you survive.
- I wish I could......
'Ahh——!!!!h Blood covered his eyes, and madness filled his body and mind. The runaway newly-promoted fourth-order snatched the double-sided battle axe, and in the direction of the Supreme Ring, it was a jump!
His jumps have the power of a mountain collapsing, and his movements are full of power. The double-sided axe raised in the air gathered enough power and force to split the earth in an instant, and he pounced on the defender in the ring with another mad werewolf!
'Bang——!!!! ’
The shield of sin, unfolded. Kasumi's holy angel body has three different faces. Unlike the Spear of Judgment, which represents absolute destruction, the creation of a shield means an insurmountable city defense.
The invisible city roared to the ground, referencing how the Shield of the Round Table works when it activates its effects. The werewolf's giant claws and the berserker's battle axe slammed back under the heavy iron walls of the city, but this brief setback could not delay them even for a second, but the next moment, the heavy wall ushered in a more powerful impact.
- I can hold up for seven seconds at most. If they keep going crazy.
Kasumi made a judgment, and she felt the light of strengthening healing blessed on her. Taleon had been repelled by the white-robed wizard in the recent encounter, but before it could roll back to Mordor to read and regenerate, it also caused Gandalf a wound that was not very serious, but it was difficult to heal in a short period of time, and greatly affected his combat effectiveness.
His face was pale, barely holding on to his staff. And beside him, only the three lucky protagonists of the original canon, such as Aragor, Legolas, and Golden Thunderbolt, are still left, and everyone is injured.
The little hobbits are gone, perhaps alive by their hiding-minded racial talents, or dead in the aftermath of the war between reincarnators. And just a few seconds ago...... Perhaps it was the moment when Nyos died, and Prince Rohan, who was originally saved by the Nanyanzhou team, also carried the trauma beyond the limits of his resistance.
He died, and he died in battle.
All the changes brought about by the Nanyanzhou team have turned into dust.
- Five seconds to go.
Kasumi made a rational judgment, the two runaway fourth-order were no longer something she could deal with on her own, not to mention that there were many reincarnators and Rivendell defenders who shared the same goal with them. Her inner structure had been damaged in a continuous way of resisting, and when the shield wall shattered, she would die.
After all, she is the shield. She is the wall.
- I can't die here, it's not the fate that Ayu arranged for me.
Microsecond reflexes were useless at this moment, and the vast majority of her computing power was spent against the impact and force from the outside. Zhao Yingkong, who could help her break the game, disappeared at this moment, maybe that Miss Assassin could win against Zhao Yukong, but at least for now, she couldn't help Shangxia.
Raising his gaze, the man's eyes collided slightly with the white-robed wizard in the air. She saw the silence and determination in the wizard's eyes, and she knew that whether she persevered or not, the old man would try to keep the Ring, even at the cost of his own life.
But what does sacrifice bring? Three more seconds, five seconds? The battlefield above the sky is still opaque, and even if you lose all the lives of the protagonists of the original work, you can't get a proper reward.
Sacrifice without harvest is of no avail. But......
She saw Aragorn take a resolute step forward.
"Let me do it." He said, "Let me put on the Ring, and let me use the Ring against them." ”
The use of enemy weapons is dangerous. But at this time, even the poisonous wine may have to be swallowed hard. Aragon is a third-order warrior, and the Ring allows him to touch the fourth-order. He is bound to draw the full firepower of the Runaway as soon as he puts on the Ring, but he cannot remove it once he wears it, and he is destined to carry the Ring until he is slain by his enemies or former allies.
There is no way around it, and who can fight the Lord of the Rings?
Kasumi will need to do everything in her power to stop the greed surging within her in the middle of the battle, and Gandalf and several people around him will also spend a lot of their spirit and will on fighting the temptation.
Wait, no one...... Able to fight the Lord of the Rings?
A thought flashed through Kasumi's mind, and she didn't even know that she still had a 'flash of inspiration'. But now she had no energy left to care about anything else, and almost immediately, she cast her perception into the dark corners around her!
Construct space-time resonance.
With a simple and simple means of detection, all available spatial faults within the area are immediately reflected under her perceptual scope. Since third-order individuals are destined to be vigorously lured by the Ring and become fourth-order after wearing the Ring, isn't there just another target here that won't make people feel distressed even if they die?
Xing Bian, who was hiding in the spatial fault, felt something, and Xia's overly purposeful eyes stung him.
He subconsciously wanted to escape, but the next moment he couldn't help but curse angrily. Because the sudden intensification of space-time resonance stabilized the space, he was forcibly ejected from the fault where he was hiding and exposed to the battlefield!
'Boom——! 'The shield of sin, the power can fight back.
The attackers were repulsed for a split second, and at the same moment. The Supreme Ring, along with a small piece of ground beneath it, slammed into Xing Bian's body!
He subconsciously grabbed it—no, not subconsciously. He had tried hard to dodge, but his body, his palm, did not obey the call to catch the treasure delivered to his door.
He was stunned for a moment.
He should have been consumed by the greed of the Ring in an instant, but he froze for a moment.
The axe and wolf claws struck at him, and the ring was already squeezing into his fingers.
It was the middle finger that was squeezed, and his middle finger pointed to the sky. There was a sudden realization and anger in his voice, it was obviously Xia's means, but he scolded angrily towards the sky.
"Adam! You motherless dog, I'm going to use your skull as a night pot! ”
The huge aura disintegrated outward. Pure killing intent surrounded him who had reached the fourth-order realm. Ambition and madness had consumed all his sanity in an instant, and he might have intended to retaliate with Kasumi one moment before, but at this moment he had already swung his sword against the robber who dared to covet the treasure in his hands.
- What a strange reaction...... Am I doing something wrong?
Kasumi was given a window of respite, and she immediately spent most of her computing power on recovering her state. She waved violently at the white-robed wizard, conveying her decision-making thoughts.
"Take them with you! The One Ring can't be given a new host! She was referring to Aragorn and others, a euphemism for not calling them 'burdensome.' And her decision is undoubtedly correct, no matter how unwilling the indigenous powerhouses are, they can only grit their teeth heavily.
"Don't force it!" Gandalf waved his scepter, and now that the Great Barrier was broken, he was able to drive the carrying glow even if he was severely injured. He looked at the sky with some uneasiness, and he suddenly realized that there was something more worrying about him on this battlefield than the Lord of the Rings and Sauron.
But now he can't do anything. At least he couldn't do anything until he recovered from his injuries and figured out the situation.
Kasumi nodded, and she watched the glow quickly leave the battlefield. He was not hindered by external forces, and the living forces of this world will soon be transported to the right place.
She heard someone's screams.
She saw Gunnir in the North Ice being cut off by the scarlet sword light, and was directly stimulated by the killing intent contained in her to go crazy. The uncontrollable explosion of frost indiscriminately attacked all living creatures around her, and the thickest wisp of it hit exactly where she was.
That's fine.
She was hesitating whether to stay here, to keep the tide of the battle going, and to make sure the One Ring didn't leave Rivendell. Or go to the battlefield border and give Zhao Yingkong a helping hand - both are feasible and difficult to decide. But now, the answer has found her.
The barrier above the vault is still solid. The exact changes in the situation are not known below.
Zhan Lan's mental power was also a little intermittent, and she seemed to be busy with something, so that she couldn't see any movement except for maintaining the mental network that was almost ineffective, and its biggest function was to prove that she was still alive.
However, Jiang Yu should be aware of the current situation.
And now, there happens to be a weight that can accurately convey information to him.
…………………………
- [Kill one member of the Arctic Continent team to open the gene lock, get 1 B-level side story, and reward points of 7000 points.] 】
——[The Central Continent team counts one point......]
Jiang Yu heard the announcement.
This announcement was not only made to him, but to all the members of the Middle-earth team—the contract was still in place, and the killing did not come with a small price to be paid to Middle-earth if the contract was broken. And this means that the Arctic is at fault.
They betrayed.
Their betrayal was pointless, and it didn't even bring death or injury to Middle-earth.
So, what made them betray was the power of the One Ring. Now the battle situation below is already like paste.
Jiang Yu easily came to the above inference, and he held the Spear of Judgment in his hand. The giant spider had not yet been defeated, and the power of lies that haunted Uliongot hindered him and Zheng Zhe's strength.
It can't go on like this.
He took a light breath. Even if Chu Xuan was hiding in the fog that Adam couldn't find, a loud sound suddenly appeared beside Chu Xuan.
- Chu Xuan.
- What exactly are you doing?
