"Those damned bandits!"

"That's my 'first machine'!"

Seeing his mechanical monster being assimilated into a Sfia Synthetic Beast, Keigo Masaki, who has always been very cultivated, finally couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

It's a pity that due to distance and strength, all he can do now is verbal catharsis.

At this time, a high-level member of a TPC martial arts faction, who has always been in one-line contact, suddenly sent a communication request, and marked the highest level of red alert.

"Yoshida?"

Looking at the virtual pop-up window in front of him with some surprise, Keigo Masaki made no secret of his surprise at the moment.

You must know that the relationship between Keigo Masaki and the TPC martial arts faction has always been inseparable.

Keigo Masaki needs the skills and resources of the TPC Martial Arts faction, and the TPC Martial Arts faction needs the mind and wisdom of Masaki Keigo.

Given the current relationship between the two parties, it is rare for a high-level executive of Yoshida's level to communicate directly with Keigo Masaki without hesitation.

"Keigo Masaki, I don't care what you've been researching in private, or where those mechanical monsters came from."

"I have only one request to you now, and that is to immediately dispatch your hole cards to the ruins of Lalaye in the Pacific!"

It is rare that the rhetoric of politicians is not adopted.

Yoshida, who had a serious face, said in a tone that was almost commanding as soon as the communication was connected.

"The Pacific? The ruins of Lalaye? ”

His pupils suddenly constricted, and Keigo Masaki instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"The other side of the Pacific...... What happened? ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Time rewinds to a few minutes ago.

The bottom of the Pacific Ocean, the ruins of Lalaye.

The battle between Terranoyd and Sphia Synthums had just begun, and a new situation had arisen on the side of the ultra-ancient humans.

Thundered......

As if an undersea volcano is about to erupt, unusually active seismic zones are frequently active.

The ultra-ancient humans on the periphery of the ruins of Ralaye hadn't even reacted to what was happening.

A mist composed entirely of dark forces erupted from the ruins, and continued to spread outward as a volcanic seismic zone expanded.

"Shadow Black Mist?"

The moment they saw those black fogs, all the ultra-ancient humans present couldn't help but constrict their pupils.

Although they had not seen these black fogs with their own eyes, the materials brought back by the "Salvation Sect" described the existence of these black fogs in detail.

These black fogs are an extension of Gatanjee's power, a powerful means of subverting civilization.

They do not have any mass reaction, nor do they have any energy reaction, so they cannot be shielded by all physical and force field means.

Once inhaled by an organism, it can lead to paralysis and death.

In addition, these black fogs also carry special electrical ions, which can disrupt the normal operation of machinery and block radio waves, and can even directly burn living organisms.

Even the "Giants of Light" have to endure huge DEBUFFS under the shroud of these black fogs to barely move.

"How is that possible?"

"How did he escape the ruins of L'Alaye!?"

Just as the ultra-ancient humans panicked, the pitch-black mist had already spread towards them.

However, to the surprise of the ultra-ancient humans present, not only did the fog not hurt them in the slightest, but even made them feel as if they were returning to their mother's arms.

In a trance, they seemed to see three scarred stone statues of giants, slowly coming out of the darkness.

The rigid giant Darlam who is pierced through his chest, but still stands up to the sky......

Hitla, a handsome giant whose mask has been shattered and is still trying to stand up straight......

Camilla, a love-hate giant with a hideous and terrifying face and a completely alienated body......

【Us...... Sinking......]

Hou Bo quietly looked at the three giants in the dark, and such a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

What was once an ultra-ancient human being is now becoming a part of the darkness little by little.

It's like the ancient monsters that were enveloped in darkness and tried to destroy civilization.

Today's ultra-ancient humans have just taken the place of those ultra-ancient monsters and become the new family of the evil god Gatanjee.

It's like a fateful reincarnation, and it seems like a destiny that has long been destined by God.

The dragon slayer, who was once dedicated to slaying dragons, eventually became a part of the evil dragon himself.

[All this...... When did it all start? 】

obviously felt that he was becoming a family member of the darkness little by little, but Hou Bo's heart was surprisingly calm.

He was wondering when he had gone bad.

Is it when you are desperate to avenge Aya?

When the ultra-ancient humans persevered in the essence of the flower of Zigela?

Is it the time when the "savior" of the ultra-ancient civilization is all gone?

Or even earlier, when he chose to flee Earth with the "Eternals"?

In short, no matter when it started, Hou Bo had already predicted his end in advance.

Once you are caught up in these black mists, you will become an accomplice in the destruction of the earth's civilization, just like those ultra-ancient monsters.

As for your original intentions?

It doesn't matter anymore, the important thing is that after all, I unconsciously became the existence I hated the most.

This is not a deathbed repentance, but a very clear understanding.

Compared with those "messians" who firmly practice their will, he is just a hypocrite after all.

Whether it is the longing for the "Salvationists" or the pity for those "rebels......

That's just Hou Bo's admiration for those of his kind who dare to express and practice their ideas when their own lives are not threatened.

Hou Bo could not be as desperate as the "Messian", nor could he go against the will of the entire group like the "rebels......

Hou Bo is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who was born and grew up in an ultra-ancient civilization.

His values and abilities are endowed by ultra-ancient civilizations, and all his choices and inclinations are based on this position.

[I can't be a hero, and I can't always believe in my own judgment. 】

[Aya is right, I'm just a cowardly and hypocritical ordinary person. 】

The heart is gradually sinking, but the eyes are becoming brighter and brighter.

Hou Bo stared at the three dark giants not far away, and an ambition was inexplicably ignited in his heart.

[However, there is one thing that I will always remember.] 】

[It was the humans who killed Aya, and I will take revenge on the humans at all costs!] 】
