DAY 48—Wandering & Staying Strong (4)
"Boom!!" Suddenly, on top of the flesh and bone blade of the body, a nameless force suddenly burned, spread, exploded, and gushed out from the crack of the wound! In an instant, the entire space was plunged into the sparkling white light that seemed to melt everything and the extreme output of the sun, and my vain spirit immediately returned to the surviving human body at the moment Dacapo shattered—"Hum-huh!" "When the scorching twilight and boiling flames dissipated, the flesh blade had disintegrated, and the fantasy Geburah, though she had narrowly escaped her life with the power of the space of the glittering charge, had also been struck by a violent blow, and she was slightly tired and half-knelt in front of me, gasping for a moment.
When I opened my eyes again and looked at my hands, I suddenly felt all the strangeness and fear before me - "This...... It's not my power ......"
Yes...... From that day on, all the power was nothing more than a trivial handout, just like the poor knight who was knighted under the gloomy castle, and shouted at the herd instead of the shepherd in the fief - and when this land was really threatened by seizure, pollution, destruction, etc., the knights in the castle would rush out, trample the farmland and pasture, and crush the invading enemy......
I don't know how long I can control this little fiefdom...... But "loss" seems to have become some kind of sad inevitability...... I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
But for now, I still have something to do.
"Hoo ......" fantasy Geburah gradually regained her strength at this point, even though she knew what had just happened, she still didn't plan to stop there - even though everything around her had been smeared with a thick layer of charred ash in the explosion just now, Dacapo had been scorched, the mimic had been steamed dry of flesh, and the blade bones had been broken apart, and the fragments were deeply embedded in the twilight...... It's like a broken star spilling into the sky.
"Hum—" With a tremor resonating as Fantasy Geburah liberated her body to a rather exaggerated degree, she immediately pulled out the Justice Judge and the Smiley Sledgehammer from behind her, ready to fight again.
At the same time, I also recalled Bo Twilight - "Even if I can't recover...... There's no way I'll let you get it! "With the realization of mortality, I rushed forward again - sword fight, never death!
"Bang-bang-ping! Bell ——! "Even in the initial encounter, I was immediately aware of the insurmountable power gap between myself and the fantasy Geburah—the heaviness of the smile seemed to be a joke in the face of her savage powers, and the power of the Justice Judge was stretched to the limit—she had even mastered the knack of condensing the scars of sin, and could unearth, build, and sublimate the energy that was hidden between each black feather molecule, and slash it out with the power of the moon's wrath, causing the victim to suffer as if the bones were torn apart.
"Bang!!" Admittedly, Smiling's extremely long hammer handle caused great inconvenience to my attacks—I could only defend hard from the range of the corpse hammer, and Fantasy Geburah completely changed the way she used to fight, and she was extremely cautious at the moment, and her powerful strange power and reflexes made the already seamless coordination of her great sword and hammer even more impeccable. And the threat of the flash charge that looms out at all times has savagely blocked all my attempts to borrow the power of time and space, and every swing of the knife seems to be on a tightrope, dodging and blocking are so powerless, and it is even more difficult to say counterattacks and attacks—it is obvious that this battle is sliding more and more into the abyss of my disadvantage—survival...... Survive! I have to do something about it now!
"Buzz ——!" After avoiding the powerful sweep of the Smiling Sledgehammer, I hurriedly bowed and retreated, and immediately swung my sword to slash through several incoming turquoise-colored moon rages, and finally opened the distance and briefly stabilized my position.
This is an enemy that I have never seen before, I can no longer rely on the experience of the past, I have to improvise. And just as I was thinking about it, the Fantasy Geburah immediately brandished the two terrifying weapons and rushed towards me at a considerable speed—"Whew——! "I hurriedly held the twilight high, channeled and gathered the power of the apocalypse, and finally shot out through the flickering golden eyes—a dazzling light projectile that sprinkled through the space like a morning star, and immediately flew away towards the rushing fantasy Geburah under my command." Crackle! Immediately wielding her knife to meet the battle, she furiously slashed at each light bullet that was intended to approach, splitting, shattering, and exploding, but it was still inevitable that it would be missed. Looking at the figure of the fantasy Geburah who fought with countless light bullets, it was like a fierce tiger trapped in a wolf pack...... I was so relieved, at least...... I have finally succeeded in holding such a strong enemy here, and even with such a level of power output, I am already a little overwhelmed......
"Whew————!!!"
"What......!" Just when I thought I could take a breather, an extremely piercing scream suddenly pierced and immediately suppressed the noise of the entire space, and my spirit was violently disturbed in such a ghostly howl, and the light projectile also deviated from the trajectory, rubbing, colliding, and escaping—"It's a smile!" She's harnessing the power of the smile! "And as I tried to regain my senses from the deadly noise, I was surprised to realize—under the cover of the noise, the annoying sledgehammer had been thrown and was now close to the door!
"Damn it!" I'm ready to shuttle through the space to avoid ...... But he was surprised to find that the retreat behind him had been blocked by the magic array that filled the place with the flash gold charge - he could only run! But it's too late! - "Poof!! "In an instant, the damn black hammer slammed straight into my body, and when I tried to stand still again, the moment my hands touched the hammer surface, the sledgehammer made of a mountain of rancid and blackened corpses suddenly began to collapse rapidly, and in the next second, it disintegrated in an instant—exploding.
Yes...... The explosion was under the manipulation of the fantasy Geburah, and every inch of rotten flesh tendons in the smile were rapidly twisted, broken, and exploded, and the powerful torque contained in it was instantly released, pulling the minced flesh and bones, splashing out at an extremely violent speed, impacting, piercing, and cutting all the obstacles encountered - in an instant, my body was like a helpless puppet, torn, corroded, and burned by the scattered fragments all the time, but it continued to adhesion, regeneration, differentiation and recovery under the solidification of the power of the apocalypse, My shattered senses were nothing more than pure pain—the pain that would shock anyone on the spot, but there was no escape from it, I had to endure it and stay awake while my body recovered.
But...... Even such an attack could not completely cut off the intricate link between flesh and end, and Fantasy Geburah knew this very well - the moment she threw the Smiler, she had already grasped the golden hilt of the Judge of Justice with both hands, and followed with the speed of the Smile Spirit's flight, and the same oncoming explosion slammed into front of my shattered body, and immediately waved the Judge of Justice in her hand, and began to slash furiously—as if to kill every inch of flesh and blood vessels in my bodyEvery brittle bone is torn, split, and crushed! And I still didn't stop there, even though I was suffering all the time. In the slash of hatred and bone marrow again and again, the fantasy Geburah once again greedily sucked the power of the apocalypse that was connected between the broken limbs, and she not only quickly healed the wounds of the body, but also completely liberated the potential of the whole mechanical body, and the blood groove embedded in the body was activated like never before, releasing a thick blood mist to the surroundings at an extremely exaggerated speed, and the carapace that wrapped its head had to be dispersed immediately to protect the head of the fantasy Geburah that was emitting terrifying heat at all times- And above the condensation, the blood-red one-eye also shone with the most terrifying light at this moment, like the most dazzling and bloody terrifying pearl in the blood-red feast, wordlessly judging everything that was seen.
"Buzz ——!" Just as the critical flicker was about to come again, Fantasy Geburah decisively stopped the attack, she clutched the black feather greatsword, and suddenly retreated sharply, and the evacuation brake stopped in front of the hall.
My body has been torn apart by such a fierce attack at this moment, but it is still not dead, and under the condensation of the residual apocalypse power in my body, it is slowly but continuously recovering......
Fantasy Geburah didn't rush to attack, but slowly put on the glittering gold charge—she raised the Justice Judge, instilling in it the surging power of the Apocalypse in her body, and the bandaged black feather greatsword was quickly activated, and each sharp blade feather quickly stretched and swelled under the stimulation of the end—"Hum! Suddenly, her bloody eyes flashed rapidly, and at the same time her feet stood still, and she grasped the hilt of the greatsword with a flash of gold, and at the same time waved her left hand, and tightly grasped the bandage that wrapped around the sword's body—"Whew——! Almost instantly, the bandages fell, revealing the large, breathtaking golden eyes, and the black feathers that had lost their restraints were instantly filled and hardened, and the scarlet flesh proliferated from the protective hands, locking and expanding the black feathers like hinges—yes, at this moment, the weapon that emitted a terrifying cold light from the hand of the fantasy Geburah was another twilight.
Surprised, suspicious, afraid? It doesn't matter to me anymore at this moment, like a candle in the wind. When I staggered to my feet again in the twilight and opened my eyes to see everything, I let out a long sigh in the face of this hysterical, angry woman. I was no longer surprised by what else she could do now, I just waved the poor feather stick in my hand, and barely survived in the face of the inescapable fate in front of me.
"Hiss——!" However, it is also obvious that the stolen power of the Apocalypse has also put a great burden on her spirit, and even she will not be able to sustain it for long...... And before you know it, the battle has reached its final stage - it is the real life and death.
"Bang!!" She immediately swung a glittering charge, striking a fierce blow to the ground—and at the same time, countless magic arrays with glittering gold suddenly appeared around me one after another, and surrounded me in the first place. I knew I had no way to avoid it, so I had to hurriedly swing my sword to block. And the fantasy Geburah immediately stood on his feet, raised his arms, sank his jaw, and briefly charged up - "Boom! With a loud sound of air shock, the giant fist in his hand was shot straight into the teleportation array under his feet like a cannonball, and under the abnormal movement of the power of happiness that shook through the space, he shuttled through the countless planes connected with reality, and returned to the present world along the intricate and penetrating magic array, smashing the hard, heavy, and powerful hammer blow deep on my devastated body. My movements had become vase-like ornaments, barely avoided in the first encounter—but after a head-to-head blow from above, I lost consciousness again, and in an instant I was back in a state of wanton ravage. And the furious body, ready to fight at this moment, imagined that Geburah, wielding a twilight, was flashing towards me in an extremely violent posture - its mechanical body was now enveloped in countless blood mist, and only the scarlet one-eyed pierced through the layers of obstacles, and pressed the judgment gaze straight to my heart.
And so, with endless anger and a sense of mortality, she launched a final attack on me like a moth to a flame.
"Buzz ——!!" In an instant, the flickering black feather greatsword pierced my body for the first time, and at the same time, it really began to substantially shatter the power of the apocalypse in my ring of fluids, and at the same time as slashing and destroying, the blissful power of the flash charge also began to exert spatial power to expel these scattered fragments to the empty plane of endless darkness.
In other words, I'm being killed.
But such a chop was only the beginning of the pain, and the black feathers that had been shaken off in the impact—the beautiful feathers stained with the coagulated blood mist, but also endowed with deadly terrifying kinetic energy—they flew in all directions like scattered snowflakes, scattered, accelerated, cut, shaken, swirled, and tossed back and forth in the flickering twilight—and my body, if this mass of growing and replicating flesh scattered here and there, could be called a body, was being tested like never before—but I had to endure such painOtherwise, the price of escape is the corpses of my colleagues everywhere - this is my deal with the end, all he needs is a suitable "container", and he has no need to wait for all the mysteries of time - but we are like the fragile life of duckweed, but we are always struggling in the torrent of history, and the day is precarious, and the time is not waiting for us.
He is the master of time, and we are slaves of time.
Even the fierce woman in front of her, with her eyes wide open and ready to kill me, could not escape her shackles in the end—her ferocious offensive was gradually weakening at the moment under the great consumption of the twilight and the glittering gold charge—"Bang-hmm!!" After a high leap that shook the space, the invincible woman finally couldn't support it at this moment, and hunched her back and fell to the ground.
"Poof—" I spat out a mouthful of blood.
The power of the Apocalypse in my body had been so depleted that I could no longer support my full body - and I collapsed soon after.
This earth-shattering battle seemed to come to an end—what seemed to be a rather playful summer stop, and even in the final moments, I was easily suppressed like a fragile chicken, unable to inflict any lethal damage on the enemy—and she finally swallowed up her own boundless anger and unquenchable desire to fight.
In a trance, I couldn't help but rethink my past as a student living in a busy penthouse in L-Nest a year after a family accident. The new guardian is a high-ranking employee of the Brain Lobe Company, with an enviable salary and status - her name is Tracy, and she is a fairly stable and capable woman, who is said to come from the top nanny company in the I-nest. Because of this, she took care of me meticulously and meticulously, but she pursued a corporate culture of putting money first and doing things with money, but she never sincerely cared about my growth, but at least she could provide basic companionship......
My new school is a more palatial, spacious, and well-resourced place than ever before, built on the southeast side of the center of L'Nest, and is a school that unabashedly pursues elite education by examining the applicants' property under a microscope. It was there that I felt for the first time that there was such a great disparity in the world - my classmates were all daughters and sons from wealthy businessmen, capital giants, or high-ranking officials and powerful families, and my background was as humble as dust, and in such an environment, comparison, discrimination, and bullying were as commonplace as eating and drinking—especially for me, my daily expenses were not only controlled by Mrs. Tracy, The pain of my childhood memories no longer allowed me to recall my father's stern countenance, and even though I had the best personal protection that Company R had to offer—but at the same time, it also exacerbated the isolation of my classmates, and even the delicate courtesans who did not want to exert the slightest utilitarian attention on me, and I was like a heavily protected wildflower, uneasy and out of place in a flower-filled garden.
This undoubtedly exacerbated my low self-esteem, and I spent almost my entire middle school years in silence and sorrow, even though my tutors and teachers barely managed to maintain my academic level during this period - but I was still at the bottom of the class, and I seemed to have really been humbled to the dust.
But...... The story doesn't take the turn of the usual expectation—not a new patient teacher to teach me, or a curious classmate who suddenly comes to talk to me, but just the shiny rot that keeps dying my soul.
But it all came with a rare opportunity for a change – after I spent my teenage years in the middle of the world and became a good-looking, slim girl, I was offered a high-level offer to work at the headquarters of Brain Lobe as the script was designed to do so - even though I barely applied for anything. Such an event suddenly became a beautiful event that the whole school talked about, and for a moment I became the target of everyone's attention like a princess blessed by the fairy godmother in a fairy tale, and those who used to treat me coldly began to flatter and poison me, and those who teased and mocked me began to serve me before and after the saddle - this bewildered me at the same time, but also made me unusually disgusted with it, and I began to try to escape, but it was always difficult to resist the sugar-coated cannonball that went forward and followed— Finally, on a solitary night after being harshly reprimanded by Tracy, I fell into the gentle country of a personable, well-dressed beast.
Admittedly, thanks to the 24-hour surveillance and escort of the bodyguards, nothing actually happened that day, and I just sobbed quietly in the crook of his thick arms—even if it was just a mundane patience based on profit, but it made me sink like a drug, and I went out of control - and since then, I have become incurably dependent on that companionship and patience, and I slipped out of Tracy's custody and had a tryst with the man every chance I had—and I enjoyed such happiness, even if it was illusory. And after learning about this, Tracy also asked me to sever ties with him countless times, and the young and vigorous me naturally just chose duplicity and the mode of repeating it again - in this way, we reached a strange cycle of "tryst-stopped-admitted-tryst again".
At that time, I didn't even care if this man had any intentions for me, or if he was loyal outside, I didn't refute all the gossip outside, I just enjoyed the time of companionship, as if it was a short eternity.
And in the end, this "eternity" was broken, as told in all stories, it was the man's love for the new and the old, and when his family arranged for him to marry the daughter of a T-company executive, he almost did not hesitate to agree, and walked away, and has not been heard from since.
I didn't cry or hysterically make a fuss when I heard the news, I accepted it with great poise and shut myself off from all social interactions. Returning to Tracy's life of full supervision, I soon resumed my long-abandoned studies, began to study and repeat hard, and finally got the last promised grades in the last days of middle school, and got the ticket to enter the university.
Maybe I was never as strong and independent as I thought I was, and I was just a little girl who lacked love all along.
"Senior...... Predecessor? ”
Before I knew it, when I woke up again, it was under the anxious gaze of my colleagues in the control department, and with the blessing of the nano-healing bomb, my body was also restored. I sat up slowly, surveying everything around me—this time I finally saw that the place where I had fought so desperately with Fantasy Geburah was the main Control Lounge. By the time the dust had settled, the entire upper sector had been almost completely destroyed by the aftermath of the fierce fighting of the time, according to colleagues; During my absence, Marx led a death squad of returnees to guard the corridors of the first district of the headquarters, and successfully suppressed several attempts to escape and maintain stability in the rear.
In the face of such a battle, everyone, including the returnees, expressed unprecedented surprise - such a destructive power that Minister Geburah had not shown even when he suppressed the core," Dai ...... It's hard to imagine what you've been through......" Loki exclaimed in surprise as he cleaned up the jaw-dropping battlefield.
"Perhaps." I smiled wryly.
I was joined by Gregory, who was said to have been the first to get the news and rushed into the upper department after I and Fantasy Geburah disappeared into the Corrections Department at the same time, but before he could make any more plans, he was blown away by the violent explosion that shook the entire facility, and has been unconscious ever since......
Later, when all the exodus had been suppressed, Marx began to formally organize his men into the upper echelons – but the earth-shattering battle ended so quickly that when his colleagues anxiously weaved through the ruins of the upper floors, they found only the discarded fantasy Geburah and the dying me.
Fortunately, the upper echelons of the civil service had been evacuated from the upper echelons as soon as Marx had arranged it, and the vast majority of them, except for a few who were slightly injured and frightened, were still fine.
Since then, my body has been quite traumatized, and the power of the Apocalypse in my body is extremely weak, and I must recuperate for a while......
"Have you ever wondered what 'core collapse' really is?" Later that day, the supervisor suddenly asked me.
"Maybe it's the mental breakdown of the ministers......" I muttered.
"That's right...... Their collapse is an essential and important factor in the functioning of the 'script', which requires them to re-experience their pain again and let go in the 'core inhibition' in order to receive revelation and nourish the seeds of light. The Director said.
"That sounds cruel...... I said with a wry smile, "just like you do to anyone here, including yourself." ”
"Poof...... the supervisor suddenly snickered: "That's right, including myself." ”
“……”
"Is the intel gathered?"
"Poof...... Yes, Lord Binah. Fantasy Geburah's battle stats, and Devna's ...... I've already got it from the AI secretary. ”
"You're doing a good job, Miss Angela Leonard."
"I told you not to call me that, I hate this damn surname with her origin."
"You say yes, then it is."
"Tsk...... I still warn you, don't ruin the relationship between the three of us, I'm not your real subordinate. ”
(sound of tea)
"Damn, it's here again."
