In the thick fog, the fifty drones hovered in the air like falcons, and the muzzles of the machine guns began to turn slowly, accompanied by a low buzzing sound.

Bang bang bang –

The silence of the night was broken, and the fires flickered like a brilliant meteor shower.

It was the moment the bullet came out of the machine gun, piercing the sky and bringing up a brilliant light and shadow. The bullets left a series of short, bright trails in the air, like a complex astronomical map in a thick fog. The brilliant firelight and bullets in the sky intertwined, forming a huge web of firepower, like a spider's web in the sky. Whenever a bullet meets the fog, it creates a faint trace of steam, like a star in the night sky flashing through the clouds.

Ioni stood in front of her two companions, looking at the light of the meteor shower, her eyes unconsciously revealing a sense of despair.

"Looks like this is the end of our journey······" Ioni said bitterly inwardly.

The builder admired the desperate expressions of the three men, and he said to the three of them in an extremely cold tone:

"Die, disgusting worm..."

"Hum—"

Tick~

Tick~

In the silence of the slaughter, two distinct voices rang out in sync—a roaring thunder and a regular series of ticks.

The whole world seems to have been stripped of color, and the whole world seems to have been robbed of sound.

The sound of the bullets, which had been sharp and tearing, suddenly became an eternal silence, and the endless bullets, as if pinched by a huge palm, were frozen in every dynamic element suspended in the air - countless bullets that had not yet landed were frozen in the air, like thousands of metal bees hovering on their stage.

The fog, the rolling clouds, seemed to be grasped tightly by the great hand of time, stagnant, their winding rolling trajectory became unusually obvious, became stationary, and the rolling clouds also stopped, fixed at the moment when they were frozen.

The light in the air, due to the shuttle of bullets and the flame of machinery, should have been colorful and strange. But at this moment when time stops, the whole picture takes on a peculiar monotonous tone. All colors seem to be stripped away, leaving only a peculiar grayish-blue color. This hue is not only depressing, but also a proof of being trapped in a prison of time.

"Time Sink—"

"Time Warp: Pause!"

"Oh, look what I've found, a wild, unactive builder on the front lines of the war."

A twisted Möbius ring appeared in front of the builder, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes stepped out of the distorted spatial ripples, raising his right fist in the purple-gold avatar behind the blonde youth, the tight muscles seemed to fluctuate slightly in the monotonous light, and the compressed spatial ripples wrapped his huge fist.

"Vector control!" +『Boundless power!』

Boom –

The Builder's battle prosthetic body designed by the best [Walden Metal] and [Elder Blueprint] was pierced straight through, and a huge fist pierced his abdomen like a meteorite, accompanied by a dull loud thud, and in an instant, sparks flew everywhere, and these flying sparks lost their color and were frozen in an instant.

The gears, pistons, and mechanisms inside the builder were exposed in the light of the fire, and their otherwise calm and orderly operation was disrupted by the fatal blow, making a piercing grinding sound. The metal structure swelled at extreme temperatures, and brown mechanical liquid gushed out of the penetration, burning into a silvery flame, and the gears and mechanisms became twisted in the flames, and some even began to melt and flow into molten iron.

They happen quietly, and then they are frozen again.

In this gray and monotonous world, except for Xia Xiu and his incarnation, everyone else is like insects stuck under the web of time, not only unable to move, but also slaughtered at will by the king of time.

Puff –

Sisyphus withdrew his fist, and a new Mobius ring appeared beneath the trio below, and then the space began to distort, and the trio was brought to Xia Xiu's side.

"Time is starting to flow." The blonde youth said.

At this moment, 3.23 seconds have passed in the monotonous world.

"Hum—"

Centered on the blonde youth, the monotonous world is once again filled back to his own colors.

Bang bang bang –

The bullets all drew a long trajectory in the night sky, as if countless meteors were falling at the same time, shooting into the empty ground, leaving many small holes in the potholes.

“··· Bugs..."

As soon as the builder's words fell, the dense system reported errors and red warnings, and the circuit boards of the built-in mechanical brain began to overheat and emit a scorching smell, and the smoke from the penetrated parts filled the surroundings, forming a suffocating scene.

The builder fell to his knees weakly, the metal mask on his face falling, a mechanical face that was supposed to be calm and cold, now filled with pain and disbelief.

For··· Wh··· Why···

"What's going on!?"

Ioni, Nina, and George stared at the scene blankly.

In their perspective, they were ready to die, and then, in the next second, they inexplicably appeared in the position of the builder, behind the drone. The original enemy was now cut through a huge hole in his chest, the gears, pistons, and circuit boards were exposed, and his face was covered with the horror and despair that should have appeared on their faces.

The perspective of the three of them subconsciously looked at the sudden appearance of the blonde young man, and this sudden appearance of the young man may be related to this strange, bizarre, and incomprehensible scene.

Ioni endured the absurdity in her heart, and her thin lips opened slightly when she was about to ask something.

"You are..."

Puff –

[Sisyphus] tore off the metal head of the builder, and then, the head with the fire splashed floated behind Xia Xiu, and Xia Xiu also turned his head at this time, and his golden eyes reflected the trio whose faces had become extremely pale, and he smiled kindly and comforted:

"Don't be afraid, child, I'm a passing angel, I'm..."

As he spoke, he didn't stop what he was doing, and countless glow-green particles floated out of his right hand at this moment, and these particles quickly covered all the drones.

"Fantasy Particles, Incremental Particles!"

"Particle Attachment: Prosthetic Seizure!"

The drones that were originally stopped because they lost the builder's instructions made a "clang" sound, and then, because there was no builder's care, the internal core control chips and modules were directly attached to the [incremental particles], and then they were forcibly attached to the Mimu virus written by Xia Xiu to seize internal control.

The Builder's Head carried by Sisyphus could watch as his mechanical devices were brutally popped backstage, watching them take on the shape of someone else.

Buzz Buzz –

The drones honestly lined up the blonde youth, and then he made them strike their favorite flying poses in front of the original owner.

Xia Xiu didn't take long to do all this, and he didn't have time to say a word, so when the drone posed in a strange flight formation under the staring gaze of the builder, and when the three of Ioni looked at him with frightened faces, he finally finished the sentence just now.

“··· I'm a good person. ”

Ioni: "·······"

Nina: "·······"

George: "······"

"You don't believe me?"

The blonde youth blinked his golden eyes and put on a pure expression of what I am really a good person.

The three of them looked at the builder who was carried by [Sisyphus] in his hand, because he couldn't stand the stimulation, and his brain chip was so hot that it began to smoke, and they all chose to believe it.

After Xia Xiu simply teased the three subordinates, he began to get down to business.

During his journey, he received a synchronization record from [Adam], which showed a record of Ioni's fight with the diver, and the strength of the diver shown on the record was far beyond the standard, which was no longer the strength of an ordinary diver, and he was keenly aware of something unusual in it, so he decisively chose to transfer his destination and rushed to this side.

Unexpectedly, before the anomaly of the deep diver was found, he first encountered the unexpected joy of the builder.

"Alright, the simple greetings are over, let's get down to business. You first open [Adam], update the mission diary, restore the pedigree network connection, and then open the peripheral control section, and I will transfer the permissions of these drones to you. ”

[Signal has been restored—]

[Mission diary has been updated-]

[Authority Level 1 Serial Clearance Personnel Detected!] ]

[Investigator of Authority Sequence 00-1 (Fourth Sword Bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven): Hugh Abraham!] ]

[Please obey his instructions unconditionally-]

[You have an external link request—]

[High sequence personnel initiated, you can't refuse!] ]

[Peripheral link: Prosthetic Shake Sense Control (Flying Device X50)]

"Ahh

When they heard [Adam's] series of commands, the three of them looked at the blonde young man with a warm smile on their faces with surprise, shock, or consternation.

Hugh Abraham, one of the founders of the Authority, walked the heavenly sword-bearer of Terra...

He was different from the figure paintings that the three had in mind, both in appearance and personality, and different from the images in their illusions.

Ioni was somewhat hasty to take over the control of the Shake Sense handed over by the Fourth Sword-Wielder of the Heavenly Kingdom.

"I've seen your battle record, your fighting skills are very good, a bit of the military style of the Oretin Empire and the fighting atmosphere of the Colosseum; The module is also very good, but it lacks the blessing of the body method and positioning, if you want to continue on the road of high explosion, it is best to make up for the shortcomings. ”

Xia Xiu pointed out a few words to the somewhat nervous Ioni, he glanced at the other party's pair of distorted demon claws, and the other party seemed to notice his gaze, and subconsciously turned his claws behind his back, revealing a cramped and frightened expression.

Ioni cares a lot about other people's attention to her alienated parts, and now she is the fourth sword-wielder in the kingdom who is paying attention to her, and she is very afraid that her abnormal parts will cause the other party to be dissatisfied, causing her to lose the only place of residence in the Authority... Family.

"When I'm a little free, I can teach you a little bit of the Blood God's martial arts. Rest assured, I'll keep [Adam] on file for uploading to the database, and neither the Authority nor the angels will hold you accountable. ”

The blonde youth's words surprised Ioni, and she subconsciously spoke:

"Really!?"

The blonde youth just smiled in affirmation.

"You guys report to Teresa with the drone and the body of this deep diver, I still have some business to attend to."

After the blonde youth said this to the three of them, he took the head of the builder and disappeared in front of the three of them under the distortion of the Möbius ring.

After the blonde youth left, the three Ionians looked at each other, and the scene was silent for a while.

If it weren't for the headless corpses of the deep divers on the ground and the many drones floating above them, they would have thought that everything they had just experienced was a hallucination.

"I thought, let's go back and report to Ms. Teresa, I looked at the message box, she sent us more than three hundred messages·····

Ioni was the first to break the silence and spoke to the two of them.

"Okay."

"Hmm."

With that, the trio began to travel back and forth to the rendezvous point with the headless corpse of the diver and the drones.

************

The other side.

In the thick mist, a beautiful lady stood up, her middle armor glistening in the faint light. Her long hair flowed in the wind, and her deep eyes shone with determination and determination.

Five deformed figures slowly formed a semicircle around her. Their eyes twinkled with fish-like indifference, and the scales and aquatic plants on their bodies looked even more eerie in the humid air. But the lady was unmoved, and the sharp sword in her hand reflected a sharp light, heralding an impending bloody battle.

Suddenly, her figure moved like lightning, and the sword light drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, accompanied by a crisp sound of metal colliding. The head of the first deep diver made a half-arc in the air before landing, blood gurgling from the neck.

In the midst of this shock, the rest of the divers hurried to attack her. But it was as if she had foreseen their every step, and her body moved nimbly between them, and the sword was within the reach of the sword, all of which were fatal blows. Every time the blade of the sword cuts through the flesh of a deep diver, it will bring up a mist of blood, which will blend in with the mist, presenting a magical sight.

In less than a moment, there were already four headless corpses on the ground, and the lady was like a god of war descending into the world, imposing.

The last diver tried to strike her from behind, but she seemed prepared, and on one side, dodged the fatal blow. Then, she turned, the sword in her hand like a scythe of death, slashing swiftly into the diver's neck.

With a soft "snort", the diver's head flew up again, the same as the other four companions.

The battle was over, and in the thick mist, only the lady in mid-armor was left standing in the middle of the five headless corpses, the blood dripping from the tip of the sword blending with the mist, adding a chilling red to this dead space.

The moment the five corpses fell to the ground, bright white flames began to burn from them, burning everything about them.

"Whew~, the signal has been restored, and the three of them are fine."

Theresa breathed a sigh of relief as she held her sword and looked at the space ahead that began to distort.

"The Fourth Sword Bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven..."
