Operation Dawn Chapter 40 Despair descends, and the heavenly saint appears
Agnes' search for the mutilated half of his body continued, and after taking Marco, who had transformed into a Honkaimon, to a ruin in the Amazon River basin in South America, Agnes motioned for Marco to wait outside.
"Quack......
At this time, Marco could no longer make a human voice, and from his swollen body and swollen throat, he let out a low and terrifying roar. After Agnes entered the ruins, he looked at the ancient technology-style iron gate in front of him with joy, and laughed hahaha.
"Finally...... Centuries have passed, and I have finally found you, my stump! The stump of my Lord [Da Gama of Despair]! Welcome back to my body! ”
He smashed the seal in front of him with a punch, and walked towards the box at the stone platform step by step, and when he carefully examined the object in front of him, he took it out of the box.
This is an air-dried leg stump, the surface of which has been washed away by years and has reached the point of crushing when pinched. However, Agnes still did as if he had obtained a stump of his hand, opened his mouth wide, and ate it.
Immediately afterward, he felt some discomfort in his body, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably, and many swollen bubbles appeared in his body, which then disappeared on his body. He had already fused with the "stump", and the remaining part called the "Dagama's Skull" was only a matter of time before it was obtained.
"Dagama, your wish is about to come true...... I will regain the glory of the 'Creation Celestial Saint', and I will become the next 'Jelfida' and make this weak world disappear completely!" ”
"You can't stop it, you can't stop it! Even if the 'Divine War' is coming, I have ...... I have a chance to rebel too! It's no longer a being slaughtered by 'Annell' kind of guys! Wait!! ”
The giant beast Marco was guarding the entrance to the ruins, and he limped towards it, spotting a chameleon on the wall, grabbing the chameleon and shoving it into its mouth.
"Smack."
The chameleon was crushed by it and swallowed into its stomach, and Marco felt as if he was satisfied, jumping and dancing in place, and gurgling from his mouth.
At the same time, Agnes stepped out of the ruins, his expression grim and terrifying, and the power he had gained from Dagama's remaining stump made him smile smugly. When he saw Marco eating indiscriminately, he just stretched out his hand and waved it, and Marco got a big mouth in the air and fell to the ground, letting out a staggering scream.
"Who told you to leave your post without permission? Disobedient shitty thing...... Also, if you eat such non-nutritious things, are you still my 'creation'? Cheap dog. ”
Marco was also angry, so he slowly got up from the ground and made a voice similar to a pleading to ask for Agnes' forgiveness. It has lost its senses, which is the price of Marco's misbelieving.
"Well, now I'm only one step away from regaining my strength...... At that time, despair will pervade the land, wails will be heard among the people, and everything will return to its former glory! ”
"Hmm...... Congratulations! Congratulations! ”
"Hahaha!"
In the midst of Agnes' arrogant laughter, despair was about to kick off the first prelude in his hands. He wants to recreate the "Trial of Despair", the first great collapse he created with his own hands, and to turn the whole world into a state wrapped in despair.
Destiny is also preparing for the next move, and after learning of Agnes's whereabouts, Destiny sent Bronya and the members of the Council of Thirteen, Rita Rosewiser, who is willing to accompany them on the mission, and they are rushing to where Agnes can appear.
Agnes was also going there to get his final strength, and that was the head of Da Gama, stored in an ancient ruins in the St. Fontaine region of South Africa.
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
Rita decided to go with Bronya and the others this time because she heard about what happened to Bronya and her team before, and she couldn't worry about her younger brother Ritter, so she came here with Bronya and them.
After all, the last time Knapp used the source digital mimic lawmaker ability to teleport Bronya's entire team, and also made Rin activate Dagama's remnant, so Rita was even more relieved.
"Sister, what's that...... Of course, I'm very happy that you can come with us this time, but don't keep talking about me, since I joined the Mandate of Heaven, you have been talking about me, like an old mother. ”
In the face of Rita's nagging for herself, Ritter was obviously bored. As for Rita, although this younger brother is a half-brother, Ritter is her only family member at present, and it is naturally a normal move to be a sister when she talks about him, after all, "the eldest sister is like a mother".
Ritter, who used to be a mercenary in the Fred Consortium, was introduced to Destiny by Ms. Shalene of the Golden Generation because of his sniper skills, and three years ago, Ms. Rita accidentally learned Ritter's surname and learned that she was her own brother.
Seeing that her brother didn't pay much attention to her nagging, Rita continued to take the trouble to tell him how to act, what to do to keep himself safe, and so on...... Jean Ritter's opinion was very big.
After all, Ritter is 25 years old this year, and it would be rude to be nagged like a child again. And at the same time coping:
"Alright, alright, I see, when the time comes to meet that old boy from Agnes, I'll have to peel off one of his skins."
Bronya, who was on the side, said: "It is estimated that at this time, Agnes's plan is almost complete, and if the complete body of the desperate Dagama comes to this world, we are expected to fall into a bitter battle, trying to peel off a layer of his skin...... I think it's a little difficult, really. ”
Rin didn't speak, just looked at the scenery outside the deck, Lin Qi was by his side, and saw that Rin seemed to have something on her mind, and she also asked Rin what she was thinking now, if she was nervous. And Rin also replied:
"No, I was thinking that someone like Miss Pink Elf Elysia wouldn't have a chance of winning against Vagama's stump ...... And how can we stop him? Isn't this a fool's dream? ”
"Don't worry, there will be a chance, after all, we won't lose again this time, because we have the 'Container of Hope' and the opportunity to fight him, don't worry, Rin."
I got off the ship and came to a hotel in the St. Fontaine area, where everyone stayed for the time being. All they had to do now was to get to the ruins before Agnes, and if Agnes got Dagama's head, it would be even harder to stop him.
Rita is an SS-level Valkyrie, and it was during this time that she saw the growth of the members of Blonia's team, including Rin. In order to better cooperate with them in completing the mission, Rita decided to calm the team members before the battle began.
The first thing she came to was Rin's room, and after seeing Rin's nervousness all along, as an older senior, she decided to help Rin adjust her mentality.
As a good friend of his own brother and his teammates, Rin's importance in the entire team is self-evident. Not only does he have the strength to keep his teammates safe, but he also has the tenacity to defeat no one.
When Rita asks "Nervous?" When these three words were spoken, Rin also nodded, indicating that he was a little nervous now, and said to Rita:
"I'm fine, Ms. Rita, I'm just thinking...... Who can I protect this time? ”
Rita laughed when she heard this, and replied to him: "Then it depends on how strong your will is, after all, not all of us can be protected, and there will always be people who will die in this 'war'." ”
Rin knew that he had always lived as an ordinary person before, and he couldn't do anything except study hard, and every time he saw the news on TV that there was another Honkai beast attacking humans, he was just glad that the dead person was not himself.
But now, I have the ability, and I know that I am an existence on Earth in the second world as an "orphan of the Gamma Man". What he could do and what he could do, that's what he wanted to know now.
Therefore, he also made up his mind not to think about those who have or don't, even if he wants to live, he will do his best to protect everyone's safety, and said:
"Lady Rita, no matter what, I will make sure you go home safely, after all...... I don't see anyone dying anymore, and I will remember the death of Ms. Opipalain. ”
"That's good, let's behave well this time, and when we go back, Sister Rita will invite you to a big meal."
"Well, thank you, I'm in a much better mood now."
I don't know if I'm feeling better now, looking out the window at the night and the empty streets, he's still worried, that's the end of the world as Agnes said, the coming moment.
Just as she was still hesitating what to do, Nele suddenly floated out of Hypernetus, and her appearance seemed to have changed, as if she had merged with Neb. At this time, she already had a lower body, no longer embedded in the stone, and grew a silver-white tail, like a half-dragon.
"Oh, master, don't worry, during this time when the master is in a daze, Nellai wants to tell the master a good news!"
"What? Look at this new look of yours, it must be ......"
"That's right! Niele has completed the 'fusion', I was originally one with my brother, and now Nielai has fully adapted to the fused body! ”
Under Nielai's introduction, Rin learned more about Hybernetus, and it seems that it was because the power of the "Hypernetus-Murder Star" held by Harvey affected Nielai, which made Nielai accelerate the degree of integration with Nieber and form a new posture.
Nerai's new ability is "Assault Mode", which is a new offensive form that can be used after fusing some of the Overlord cells in Rin's body. However, the effect does not last long, and this "Assault Mode" consumes a lot of physical strength, and it is also a considerable test of the user's mental strength.
"Can I give it a try first? After all, if I'm going to use this ability to fight, I should use it in advance. ”
"It's okay master, if you want to use it, just give orders to Nerai, it's very simple."
After that, Nelai returned to the sword again, and there was no more voice, no matter how Rin called, she just wouldn't come out, which made Rin difficult, if Nelai didn't come out, how could she use what she called the "new mode"?
Night fell, and Rin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes because of the long journey, and the moment he just entered the dream, he seemed to be in a new world.
Here, the blood-red sky was already dark, and rubble flew everywhere around him, as if he was on a floating platform, looking at the terrible sight in disbelief.
"This is ...... 'trial of despair,' the first trial, and under the expectation of our 'Titans,' people will be in the hell of despair, and they will no longer receive the salvation they deserve."
He saw the stumps of the Fourteen Laws of Creation, and some of them included "domination" and "restraint", which he had only seen in books before. These are the lawgivers who appeared in the pre-era called the "Honkai Era", and they have also turned into weak crumbs in front of the existence of the god called "Celestial Sage".
"What is this?"
When he approached the mutilated body of a woman, which had been dried and turned into a dry plaster-like object, her eyes staring blankly at the sky, and the sight of despair in her eyes was full of despair.
This is the body of the Lawgiver of the End, which is very similar to the appearance of "Kiana Kaslana". According to what Dr. Edward had introduced to him, the Ultimate Lawgiver who destroyed the Primordial World and the First World had already changed its original outcome after the Ten Heavenly Saints interfered with the Tree of Imaginary Numbers.
The Fourteen Founding Star Laws who existed in the First World had basically been eaten away by the Ten Heavenly Saints who had arrived outside the realm, and basically even the traces of their existence had been wiped out. After all, the amount of power possessed by the "lawyers" is limited, and the "heavenly saints" originally belonged to the god-level existence, which was a wall that the lawgivers could not overcome.
"Unstoppable, long despair, respond to your people."
Soon, a group of gamma men dressed in priestly uniforms appeared in front of him, kneeling under the blood-red sky, praying uncontrollably. This is the Gamma people of ancient times, and what they worship is the ancient will called "Lord of Despair".
"Lord Dagama...... Lord Dagama......"
"Lord Dagama...... Save your people, we don't need a new civilization, we just want the glory of the past! ”
"Lord Dagama...... Please respond to our expectations. ”
Is this what the gamma people expect? As the oldest human race, what they are looking forward to is not how to make peace with the new humans, but to advocate the destruction of the new human civilization? Rin was thinking so, and with a wave of his right hand, the Hypernetus suddenly appeared in his hand.
"No matter what the fate...... None of them can stop me! ”
With a tremor that shook the earth, the platform on the ground began to crumble, leaving only the flames under Rin's feet, still burning.
"Here's where the miracle begins...... I pray for your strength, O flame that burns all, O sun of life! Show me your power and give me the power to protect all things! ”
"Meltdown Sequence: Flame Lion Array!"
As the flames rushed into the blood-red sky, the murky darkness dissipated, and the gamma priests who knelt beneath the sky screamed in terror, fearing that the young man in front of them would engulf them in the flames.
"I don't care if I'm an orphan of the Gamma people! Just stop everything from me...... I want it all! Burn them all! ”
At this time, the Gamma Man Sacred Inscription on his wrist was also exuding a dazzling luster. With the roar of the flames, everything in this dream was engulfed by raging flames, and then, what was revealed, was a dazzling pure white.
A nun-like woman, glowing all over her body, slowly fell from the sky, walked up to Rin, and gently stroked his face. It was somewhat similar to "Ms. Cao Liang", but the white figure looked like her, but not like her.
The nun's face was constantly changing, sometimes male and sometimes female, and her hands were warm and gave Rin a special sense of relief. As the nun approached Rin, Rin slowly said her name "Anele".
These are the words he said subconsciously, he didn't know what the name "Anel" represented, and he didn't know very well, why he knew Anel's name, could it be that his own existence and this "Anel" ...... Is there a big connection?
I saw the nun, who was haunted by the light, slowly spoke:
"The little prince of the concubine~ You have grown up, and you have also got the way you should go...... Go bravely, the only one who can stop this from happening is you~The concubine believes in you~"
When Rin wakes up from his dream, he realizes that he had a good night's sleep and is in good spirits. When he wiped the corners of his eyes, he found that the tears had already moistened his eyes, and he didn't know why he was crying, so he quickly pulled a tissue on the bedside table and wiped his eyes.
Yu Linqi's voice came from outside the door, and she also said, "Let's go!" Rin! Rin's casual habitual response "Got it!" When Rin finished washing up and got into the rented car with Ms. Rita, who was driving, Rin asked Rita where she was going.
"Of course it's time to get down to business, Agnes is at the target location, and we're going to stop him before he arrives."
Looking at his communicator, the message from the front command had reached his mobile phone, which gave Agnes the target location that was about to appear, and how to get there. The fastest way is to drive inside St. Fontaine, then take the road 12 outside the city to the direction of the ruins, and then walk close to the ruins where Agnes is located.
"Get ready, guys, this is the final battle." Bronya said, and the crowd said yes.
St. Fontaine City - Zone B - Underground Tunnel
After ten minutes of driving, everyone came to a highway toll station in the city of St. Fontaine, and after learning that Line 12 was not open today, they decided to change the route temporarily.
Although it may be a bit late to get there, it is also a faster way to go through the underground tunnel under the train tracks. This has the advantage of being able to diverge from the direction in which Agnes is going to the ruins, and to avoid encountering him head-on.
After entering the tunnel, Lin Qi was still worried about the current situation, worried that by the time they reached the ruins, Agnes would have already entered.
"Just stop him, right? What if he hadn't been able to break the seal on Dagama's head? Rin tried to comfort Linki.
What Rin said was not completely unreasonable, after all, as people who didn't know about the "Ten Heavenly Saints", how to get it, how to seal Da Gama's stump, they almost didn't understand.
There is only one person who understands, and that is Dr. Edward of the Star Alliance, as a member of the Star Alliance, after promising himself that he would also do something here, Rin is not worried about what will happen. After more than thirty minutes, the hovercar finally stopped, and everyone came to the depths of the tunnel, in front of which were piles of damaged stones.
At this moment, the pile of stones collapsed with a bang, and a sturdy Honkai beast shattered the pile of stones and rushed towards everyone.
This Honkaimon is Marko, and when it was ordered to stop it by Agnes, it obediently followed the order to stay here.
"It's a 'Calamity-level' Honkai Beast! The kind of enemy that will blow itself up! Be careful, everyone! ”
Rita was the first to summon a giant scythe and attacked Marko, who was so powerful that he caught Rita's scythe with one hand and threw her out. After hovering in the air for a few moments, Rita landed safely, realizing that the Honkai Beast in front of her was not simply a 'Calamity-level' Honkai Beast, and ordered everyone to prepare for battle.
"Woo woo woo! You guys! No! Go in again! Marko, stay and play with Marco! ”
Marco slammed his fist into the ground, scooping up a huge rock and throwing it at the crowd, only to be shattered by Rin's unfurling Queen's shield.
"Ritter, get ready to fill the compression particle cannon, Rin, take care to protect your teammates, Linqi, let's go!"
"Yes!"
The crowd began to command according to Bronya's instructions, and Lin Qi unfolded the water-shaped spear and attacked Marco with the iron fist released by Bronya's dimensional armor. After removing the Turquoise Queen's shield, Rin begins to prepare to drive the Life Sequence, ready to unfold the royal phalanx when her teammates are in danger.
"Quack!"
Marco grabbed the iron fist released by Bronya with one hand and tried to throw it back, but found that the iron fist was embedded in the void created by Bronya, and could not be pulled out. Seeing that Captain Bronya had restrained the beast, Lynch swung her spear and stabbed it at its vital parts.
"Don't think!"
Marco spit out an energy ray towards Lin Qi, and before Lin Qi could dodge, Lin Qi was hit by the energy ray, and Lin Qi, who thought she was going to be penetrated, hurriedly checked the condition of her body, but found that the emerald green barrier had already resisted everything for her.
"Well done! Rin! ”
Rin, on the other hand, realized that the Honkai beast in front of him, Marko, was very difficult to deal with, and seemed to still retain the human mind, which reminded him of the liberation of Ryan, the core of the mimetic lawyer, and their situation was almost similar.
"Good job, guys, leave it to me."
I saw Rita gently swing the giant scythe a few times, and soon, the epidermis of the giant beast Marko's body seemed to fall apart, forming a smooth incision from the weak point to the weak point.
"This is, a little punishment, please take it!"
It is worthy of the S-class Valkyrie, after figuring out the attack method of the giant beast, she used precise and fast cutting techniques to disassemble its body piece by piece.
However, this is a "cataclysmic level" Honkai beast, the kind that will blow itself up. Soon, under the gaze of everyone, Marko's body began to emit a crimson light, apparently intending to blow them all up here in connection with this underground tunnel.
"Can't let it blow itself up! Then we can't get by! ”
Rin realized that if the light drove the royal phalanx to fend off the explosion for his teammates, the collapse of the tunnel would be unstoppable, and Rin immediately remembered the new power that he had displayed in his consciousness space. If its body is destroyed, then everyone will be safe, and thinking about this, he immediately drove Hypernetus's assault mode.
"Command: Hypernetus Assault Mode...... Unfold! ”
"Yes! Master! Charge Complete! ”
"Come on, then!"
The players present watched as the extremely hot flames emanated from Rin's Hypernetus, and his eyes changed from normal to crimson, which was clearly a new power they had never seen before.
"Rin! What are you doing! ”
Rita tries to stop Rin's actions, but it's too late, and Rin holds Hypernetus in her hand surrounded by flames, the heat of which will melt everything.
"Meltdown Sequence: Flame Lion Array!"
A raging flame ignited between him and Marko the Honkaimon, and soon, the moment he approached Marko, the Hypernetus began to transform its form, and the flying blades that unfurled from the blade formed a second blade, from which hot lava erupted. Before Marco could blow himself up, he was burned into a pile of grayish-white debris by the raging flames, which drifted into the air with the air flow of the underground tunnel.
Everyone also showed different expressions in disbelief and asked Rin, "Is it over?" Rin nodded, indicating that she had already dealt with it.
"Rin?"
"Hey...... That kind of power, how many things are you kid hiding! ”
Bronya, Lynki, and Ritter all looked at him in amazement, and they all came to his side as Rin used Assault Mode's finishing skills so decisively to prevent the beast from exploding. The first time Rin used this power, he was inevitably a little exhausted, and before he could stand firmly, he had already collapsed into Bronya's arms.
"Really...... Exhausted...... I didn't expect ...... This one...... It's exhausting. ”
Bronya handed Rin to Rin, and realizing that the blow had consumed a lot of Rin's physical strength, she quickly motioned for Rin to go to the car and get some water for Rin to drink.
Rita was also amazed by Rin's heroic performance, she thought that the young man in front of her had reached the strength of an A-rank, that is, a captain-level ash agent, and with the blow just now, if she fought against Rin, she might not be able to resist that attack.
"Newcomer, well done, then you can have a good rest, we will be here soon."
Rita put Rin in the passenger seat, then motioned for the team to get in the car and prepare to go to where Agnes was. At this time, Agnes also realized Marko's failure, and it was the best decision he could make after careful consideration to stop Line 12 through some special means, and the practice of letting Marco blow himself up under the tunnel could also give Bronya and them the biggest blow.
But now, he was still scratching his ears and cheeks to solve the puzzles inside the ruins, and if Bronya and the others arrived in time, he would lose control of Dagama's head.
"Damn! Why hasn't this broken door been opened! ”
Agnes was so angry that he kept kicking the sealed forbidden door in front of him with his foot, and no matter how hard he tried, the door still didn't open.
"Damn humans! I want you to pay! Especially you! This little orphan of the gamma, you all have to die! All have to die!! ”
While Agnes was still yelling hysterically at the sealed door, Rin and the others rushed here, and in the face of Agnes's embarrassed appearance, Rin just held Hypernetus in his hand and walked towards him step by step, wanting to make him pay the price for everything he had done before.
"It's over, Agnes...... No, 'Despair Celestial Sage' Dagama. ”
"Hmph, even if you get here in time, what can you do to me?"
Bronya also arrived after Rin, and the moment she saw Agnes, she also released her dimensional armor, saying that she wanted Agnes to obey. Seeing this, Agnes showed a very cold smile and said unhurriedly:
"One of the 'Former Fourteen Laws of Creation', Miss Lawyer, is also here? You have lost your strength, and in my eyes you are just a hair, not to mention. ”
"Huh?"
Rin turned his head to look at Bronya, who had been made the "Lawgiver of Reason" by Dagama, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, as if he remembered Dr. Edward's words, as if he had forgotten to ask Bronya about it.
Captain her? Actually a lawyer? Not a "quasi-lawyer", but a real "lawyer"?
"'Heavenly Sage' Dagama, I should call you that now, if you are really a lawyer who created the Gamma civilization, then how could you think of creating another disaster?"
Soon, the members of the seventh squad, as well as the S-class Valkyrie Rita, all arrived, and they confronted Dagama one-to-many.
"It's simple, because, ah, that's just what I wanted to do."
"You monster without a heart."
Bronya yelled at him. In the face of Bronya's reprimand, Da Gama not only felt reprimanded, but looked happy.
"Said that there is no heart...... Doesn't it seem strange to you, as the 'arbiters of the Tree of Imaginary Numbers', that we think like humans? ”
"And you, the 'little prince of the Gammamen', what do you think you were created for? You're actually helping the enemies behind you, and with them, sabotaging my plans! ”
Da Gama pointed to Rin, who was holding Hypernetus, and Rin was not surprised to be called the "Little Prince of Gamma", after all, he had known that he was a "Gamma".
Although Freya went on another mission today, he already knew all this under the guidance of Freya before he lost his memory.
"I know you're the father of gamma civilization, but now that I've seen what you've done, I think you're just a vandal in name."
"Joke! How can you know what happened hundreds of billions of years ago! Each of our Titans has gone through a long cycle of years! How do you feel after being betrayed by your own people...... How can you understand! Ridiculous humans! ”
Rin was about to stop listening to Agnes' nonsense in front of him, and he swung Hypernetus and prepared to attack Agnes.
"Be careful! Rin! ”
Bronya couldn't stop Rin, and watched as he grabbed Hypernetus and rushed towards Agnes.
When Agnes saw Rin approaching him, he just slowly stretched out his right hand, and his human wrist fell to the ground, growing a huge silver-white limb that resembled an octopus's tentacles, and firmly wrapped Rin around.
"Rin!"
Seeing that Rin was captured by Agnes, Bronya unleashed one of the iron fists of her dimensional armor, the Heavy Bunny, and attacked Agnes.
"Now, I said...... Isn't it rude for you guys to wait until I'm done talking? ”
Soon, Agnes' body deformed again, and countless disgusting tentacles grew from his back, blocking Bronya's iron fist.
"I hate women who do it when someone else is confiding in me."
Agnes stomped his foot, and the tentacles that extended from his feet burst out of the ground and struck at Bronya, only to be dodged by Bronya's small backjump.
"The response is good...... At the very least, it would be a great thing for you to see how I regained my full strength...... It's just for me. ”
Agnes went on to say that the reason why he had broken so many prohibitions was that he couldn't open this door, that is, it needed the blood of a purebred "gamma" to open the last door. And the moment he caught Rin, he seemed to suddenly realize, and he didn't feel that being found by Bronya and the others was a bad thing, but for him, it was like a miracle of "fate".
"Thank me for letting you know your destiny and ......"
As Rin struggled to escape Agnes' tentacles, Agnes expertly pulled a dagger from his waist, grabbed Rin's arm, and slashed down with a quick slash.
"Rin !!"
"Rin!!"
"Brother!!"
They couldn't do anything about Agnes' hard, thick, distorted skin, and after smearing Rin's blood on the door, the door seemed to react, and after a loud sound, the door opened.
"Next...... It's time of despair, you little humans, it's about to be the time of the 'Trial of Despair', so get ready. ”
