Chapter 130: The Bull of the Heavens
Above the icy polar regions, tension reached its peak.
Juan Martínez stood on the deck of the ship, his eyes grim and unforgiving.
Suddenly, his handcuffs snapped, and a bullet with deadly intent pierced the silent air and headed straight for Pedro.
Although Pedro was covered in injuries and embarrassed, his reaction was unusually quick.
At the moment when the bullet fired, he also drew his handcuff almost instinctively and quickly pulled the trigger.
His bullets likewise carried an unusual force, full of thaumaturgic fluctuations.
The two bullets met low in the air on the ice field, as if two different forces were violently colliding in the air.
Touch!!!
They intertwined and swirled in the air, emitting a high-pitched screech. The two forces collided and consumed each other, and finally disappeared in a slight explosion.
Boom –
At this moment, time seemed to stand still.
Juan and Pedro, their eyes clashing in sparks that met in the air.
The air around them was tense and dangerous, but at the same time there was a strange calm.
The smoke from the explosion slowly cleared, and the two were still facing each other, the handcuffs in their hands still pointing at each other.
"I've always hated you, Pedro Iberia. No, it's time to call you, Pedro Miguarcette. ”
Juan Martínez had a smile on his face, one full of sarcasm and one that was cold.
"Can you tell me why you betrayed Iberia?"
Pedro's voice was low and confused, with an indescribable heaviness.
"I ...... I don't understand. Pedro muttered to himself, his voice full of doubt.
"Iberia, when did it become like this, I remember when I joined Iberia, they asked me to swear to the symbol of the Trident of Neptune, and my mind was full of ...... All are joys, because of the joy of gaining new knowledge, because of the joy of doing justice, but ......"
Pedro's thoughts begin to retrace to the moment he joined Iberia, when he swore an oath to the symbol of the Trident of Poseidon, filled with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for justice.
"Moreover, you have not only sacrificed Miguelsette, but you have also sacrificed other people...... I have seen the information in the laboratory, and in order to cooperate with those two extraterrestrial civilizations, you have allowed them to attack the Iberian people......"
His words came to an abrupt halt, and a deep pain and disappointment flashed in his eyes.
In his mind, Iberia had been the embodiment of knowledge and justice, but now, that all seems to have changed.
"Put away your idealistic fantasies and look at the world before you, Pedro."
Juan Martínez hated the way Pedro looked into his eyes, he hated the way he looked.
"Pedro, the reason why you are in pain is because you have grown your eyes and been exposed to information that you have never seen before. This information forms your mind and eventually becomes part of your wisdom. So you start to think, what is wrong with them? How can I be them?
This is the beginning of suffering, and then you go crazy, you suffer, and then you start to metamorphose. ”
Juan's words are full of the cruelty and ruthlessness of reality, "As you broaden your horizons, you finally find your ideals, fight for them, and believe that you will eventually achieve them, that is, become an idealist." And one day, you will realize the gap between yourself and your ideals, so you will be more painful, more crazy, like a demon searching for information to turn over, so that your wisdom will grow even more. ”
Juan's voice grew muffled, with a hysteria that he could barely detect.
But as wisdom grows, so does your suffering, because your heart doesn't match your vision, it doesn't match your ideals. Until the pain grows to a stage where you suffer in reality, suffering both mental and physical pain. You've got to be realistic, Pedro.
Sacrificing a group of people is nothing, and compromising with the devil is not a big mistake for a moment. Justice has a savings rate, you can't demand justice from Iberia every moment, momentary sacrifices are inevitable. ”
On this ice field, Juan's every word felt like a pounding on Pedro's heart.
Although his words are cold, they expose a cruel reality - in this complex and ever-changing world, ideals and reality are often difficult to reconcile.
In Juan's words, Pedro's idealism, Pedro's sense of justice, is so small and fragile.
"You're just...... Seeking to justify my incompetence, I should have seen you clearly......"
The cold wind was blowing on Pedro's face, the wounds on his body were burning with pain, and his brown eyes were fixed on Juan Martínez.
"It doesn't matter what you're researching or thinking about any point of view. Just ask yourself what the facts are and what are the truths that those facts confirm. Never allow yourself to be believed by what you are more willing to believe, or think that people believe.
Juan Martínez, you and I should know ourselves, if I am a fantasist who is obsessed with candy deliciousness, then what about you?
You must already be aware of your own shortcomings, yes, you have an almost pathological attachment to the title of the father of electronic channels, because it is all you have. The Iberian justice you espoy, the genealogical path you believe in, is, in the final analysis, the children of the nobility born nobles and the children of slaves slaves, and the monopoly of relations must prevail over the circulation of talents. ”
Listening to Pedro's counterattack, Juan Martinez's face became more gloomy.
Juan Martínez's patience has reached its limits. He was bored with Pedro's ongoing debates and moral discussions, and he knew that these endless verbal games could not change the current situation.
There was a grim glint in his eyes, showing his desperation and impatience for the conversation.
The reason why he has been entangled with Pedro for so long is not simply because of the debate itself, but because he does not disturb the "passage" hidden here, the "Golden Castile".
The name represents a man-made project that Iberia has poured countless resources and painstaking efforts into, an artificial island capable of interstellar crossing.
What's more, the island connects to distant continents where gods are located in the extraterrestrial populations they work with.
It is also the hub of the Heavenly Bull and the Ganymede Project.
Juan Martínez is well aware of the importance of the island, and he has ordered the surrounding Armada to deploy tight shielding measures to ensure that the connection between the island and the mainland is not disturbed.
Now that everything was ready, he had no reason to wait.
There was not the slightest hesitation on his face, only determination and coldness. He coldly gave the order:
"Fire!"
With his order, the guns of the Armada immediately shone with a fatal light.
The beam of light pierced the silent sky like a messenger of death, and instantly launched a fierce attack on Pedro's location.
Fire, explosions, and smoke spread rapidly across the ice sheet, turning this otherwise peaceful land into a battlefield.
At the moment when the devastating beam of the ship was about to consume everything, an imposing knight appeared behind Pedro, spear in hand, banner in hand, and steering a horse with bat wings.
The air around him seemed to be distorted by his presence, revealing a supernatural power. At the same time, the Migualset people around Pedro began to use their reality-bending abilities, and all the power came together in one point and blessed Pedro.
Behind Pedro's forehead, a virtual aura slowly emerged, shining with a mysterious light.
At this critical moment, he felt more power than he had ever felt before, as if the whole world was under his control.
With the blessing of Miguel Set, he actually temporarily broke through to the realm of [Crown].
"It's now!" Pedro shouted, and at his command, Elig raised his spear and stabbed it into the void.
This stab is not only a physical attack, but also carries the power to change fate, pointing to a turning point in the battle.
The moment Elig's spear touched the void, the surrounding space seemed to undergo subtle changes, and the beams of light emitted by the ship were disturbed by this mysterious power, and the surrounding reality began to distort and deform, as if entering another dimension.
Juan Martínez, who was on the deck of the ship, witnessed this unprecedented scene, and his face showed a deep horror.
Pedro's actions not only interfere with the fabric of reality, but also set off an unforeseen chain reaction.
The surrounding reality began to distort and deform, and the entire space was swept into an unknown dimension, and everything lost its original order in the face of this powerful force.
Pedro's attack broke the armada's shielding mechanism and, more importantly, disturbed the "Castile of Gold". This man-made island, which was designed to connect the mysterious continent, seems to be at the center of space distortion at this time.
In this unprecedented distortion, the balance between the distant stars has been completely upset. Callisto, Terra, and the continent where the gods are supposed to maintain the balance of the Trinity are now in chaos due to the disruption of balance.
The most shocking thing is that the miraculous energy called the [Heavenly Bull] began to leak, and this huge force was like a lever, prying the entire interstellar order.
Then, an even more thrilling scene emerged.
Suspended high in the blue sky, the incarnation of the heavenly realm danced its massive body in the churning sea of clouds.
It is like the Lord of the Storm, the God of Thunder, and it cruises between heaven and earth with an almost divine majesty.
The huge figure merged with the sky, and every flick of its golden feathered wings was accompanied by a thunderous roar and a magnificent sight of lightning piercing the sky.
It resembles a cow and has two golden horns on its head.
From a distance, it appears to be the descending of an ancient mythical god to the mortal realm, its glorious wingtips shining golden in the sun's rays, as dazzling as the decorations on the tops of ancient temples.
The clouds boiled around it, as if stirred up by its mighty power, and lightning swirled around it, like a protective aura, marking its untouchable sacredness.
Those deep eyes were like two stars, quietly overlooking the world below, with endless wisdom and penetrating power in their eyes.
Whenever its gaze falls on the earth, it seems that the wind and rain between heaven and earth have stopped, and everything appears to be extremely clear under its gaze.
Four huge illusory iron hooves stamped towards the void.
[Lever of Heaven: Part 3!] 】
In the depths of the starry sky, the comet swarms seemed to be driven by the hand of fate and began their devastating fall.
Each comet, with its interstellar cold and endless energy, pierced the sky and fell violently towards the Iberian Armada and the island of "Golden Castile".
This comet shower is not only a spectacular display of natural phenomena, but also an epic prelude to disaster.
In such a desperate situation, the Armada reacted quickly.
On their hulls, huge energy turrets began to activate, emitting a shocking glow.
The turrets reorient themselves and aim at the destructive comets in the sky, ready to put up resistance.
The armada's artillery fire was volleyed.
Beams of energy emanating from the ship are condensed with state-of-the-art technology, each containing unparalleled destructive power.
Beams of energy draw dazzling trajectories in the night sky, intertwining with the falling comet swarms to form a suffocating and terrifying picture.
Bumper Bumper Bumper –
Whenever the energy beam collides with a comet, a violent explosion occurs.
Huge amounts of energy were released, forming shocking balls of light, like ephemeral but brilliant novas in space.
But there were so many comets that the Armada could not completely stop their fall, despite their struggles.
"Damn ......"
Juan Martínez's face was extremely difficult to see at the moment, and what he feared was still happening.
This newly created miracle was originally intended to "pull the stars", and the four hooves of the Celestial Bull represent the four "heavenly levers" that can pry the stars.
Its conception is forged by the harmony of the four parties: Iberia, reincarnated humans (Isis), third-party extraterrestrial civilizations, and the gods that third-party civilizations believe in.
Among them, there are three "Heavenly Levers" created by the three civilizations that have devoted most of their resources, and they have the ownership and control of the first three "Heavenly Levers" respectively, and the most important "Heavenly Levers" is forged by the three civilizations to steal the sleeping gods, which is the most core lever.
This lever is the number three.
Now, the third lever has been driven, and the immature [Heavenly Bull] has been awakened in advance.
Now is not the time to care about Pedro as a traitor, all they have to do now is to quickly deal with the out-of-control Sky Bull, and must suppress it within the other party's spread.
If the Celestial Bull is allowed to continue to get out of control, the continent where the gods exist will be pulled to Terra.
"Be prepared to unfit the levers, you can't let them continue to couple together, if you continue......"
Juan Martínez gave the order with an ugly face, but before he could say anything, a change occurred.
Boom –
A huge spatial rift suddenly tore through the sky.
In the crack, there are projections of two planets.
One is made of water ice with a smooth surface, and that's Callisto.
The other, full of filth, was pitch black.
The black planet is like a mysterious world shrouded in deep darkness.
The planet's surface is covered in thick, sticky black sludge that seems to be the sediment of the night, revealing a suffocating, eerie aura.
On the top of the hill of the island, rises a huge stone building, silent and ancient, full of secrets from distant times.
Around the building, a colony of large, light red crab-like creatures remained.
They have many pairs of legs, as well as two large, bat-like membranous wings that grow in the center of their backs.
These creatures sometimes crawl on all their feet, sometimes only on their last pair of arthropods, while carrying mysterious large objects on their other feet.
More members hovered around the gods' sleeping places, their red bodies streaked through the air, forming red swirls like a red tornado of creatures. They surround this mysterious stone building, as if performing some kind of ancient and mysterious ritual.
They sang loudly, carrying a strange syllable.
Under the stars, Pedro the Void Crowned muttered the syllable.
"Hm...... Big...... Lu ......"
As the syllables were pronounced, a terrifying suction force was generated from the planetary projection, and the four hooves of the [Heavenly Bull] in the sky suddenly split.
The projection of the black planet healed, and Pedro and Miguel Set on the other side were sucked into Callisto.

The picture of memory is completely shattered.
The teeth are almost good, and they should be able to return to normal after tomorrow.
Sure enough, tooth extraction and correction need to be cautious, otherwise it will be like me, painful and hungry, woo woo ~ ~~~
