Song of Heaven 52 The Fall of Destiny - Part II
Seeing that her power seemed to be "ineffective" in front of the short knight girl, Elysia also tried to get Vilvie out of here quickly, and stayed behind to block the enemy who seemed to be the "lawyer".
However, Zelushi said that she was not here to fight. Moreover, her purpose here has been achieved, and she has also notified all the paladins to prepare to "retreat".
"Knight, why are you retreating? Don't you care what His Holiness the Pope will say about you? ”
"That's it, that's it~ I haven't played enough."
The two members of the "Knights of Deep Space" also asked why Zelushi was retreating, and Zelushi said that the Prince of Light had been brought back to the Third World, and there was no need to pursue the remnants of the defeated army.
At this time, Elysia also didn't care about the conversation between these three people, and directly drove the Honkai energy in her body, preparing to continue to activate the Star Scar.
Seeing this, Zeluhi asked the two members of the Knights of Deep Space to step down and use the power of the "Arc Lawgiver" to prevent Elysia's "Star Scar" from activating.
['This is the light that lingers in the starry sky, come to the world'! 】
['Daylight Technique: Starry Sky Circulation'! 】
A burst of intense light flashed, and although it was like a shining star, it was enough to wipe out the scars of the stars.
As soon as Elysia activated the Star Scar, the moment the fluctuation of magic power had not spread, the soft dome formed by the starlight locked Elysia in the dome along with the entire Star Scar.
In this way, if Elysia eats her own "star mark" in the dome, then she will most likely be killed by her own star mark in one fell swoop.
She realized this, and also unfolded the protective shield to resist. But before she could activate the shield, the starlight ban had already surrounded her body, blocking the explosion of the star-creating scar for her.
The explosion was over, and Skye Island was nearly sunk because of it.
It was also because Zelushi had activated her power as a lawyer to stop Elysia's imminent "Star Scar" that she was about to unleash because of her anger and shame.
Elysia walked out of the explosion of the Star Scar unscathed, and also glanced at her body in disbelief. It seems that those starlight from Zeluxi are surrounded by him because they want to protect themselves.
"Eh~ Aren't we enemies? Why, do you want to protect me? ”
"Because it's very simple, this young lady, now I need you to join me to stop this 'holy war', and as the chief head of the 'Four Elephant Knights' of Saint Gama, I don't want to see my subordinates shed blood and die."
Under Zeluhi's description, Elysia learned a little about Zeluhi's plan to stop the war. It was also agreed to put aside each other's prejudices with her for the time being, stop the Gamma Void Glow Ships, and continue to invade Sky Island.
"By the way, this lovely Miss Paladin, you are also a 'lawyer', but your existence is ...... But it's not within my perceptual range, may I ask ...... you?"
"Then let me introduce myself, I am the 'Arc of Arc Creda', and in your world, people like us who have the power of 'Apostles of God' are called 'Lawgivers'."
"Why can you stop my 'Star Scar'? Is your power higher than that of me, the first of the 'Fourteen Laws of the Stars'? ”
Zelushi explains to Elysia that her power is the ability to guide "the stars of the universe." When she activated her power just now, she also used all her power on Elysia, making her entire "Star Scar" activation nullified.
In other words, this is a practice of making the other party "neither cause harm" nor cause harm to others. If Zelushi wanted to attack Elysia, she could have had the Star Scar detonate inside her, killing her with ease.
In this regard, Zeluxi also said to her:
"It turned out to be a 'junior', and when it comes to the qualifications of a 'lawyer', I may be much older than you, so I can be regarded as your senior."
"We both belong to the 'Apostles of God' and the 'First Epochal Lawgiver', so we may be able to come together very well."
After treating the injuries of her companions for Elysia, Zeluhi also asked the "Knights of Deep Space" to stop the attack on the Mandate of Heaven, try to exaggerate the results of the battle, and tell Pope Gedescu about their "victory".
She used her "Namba Star" technique, which is the same technique as Rin, to treat Ace and Mebius's injuries, and instantly restored them to their original state.
"Thank you, lovely senpai, I don't know what to call you?"
"Just call me Zeluhi, and call me Kryda, my former name...... Sister Elysia, we should heal everyone's injuries, whether it's the Paladins or your companions, who I should protect. ”
"It's so gentle~ Can I call you 'Kryda'? I like you very much, I fell in love with you at first sight~"
Miss Pink Elf saw that Kerida didn't seem to be hostile, and she was the first to "confess" to her. This is her unique and evil behavior, and it is also her characteristic as a symbol of "human love".
Kryda also gave Elysia a hug, and motioned for her to join her in stopping the unnecessary bloodshed.
"By the way, my dear Kryda...... Well, did you capture my good apprentice? You're not going to hurt him, are you? ”
"No, he is the hope of our gamma, this 'holy war', is a war of aggression launched by an existence called 'blasphemer', and I don't want anyone to shed blood and die in this war."
"Well, I think so too, although I'm also worried about my good apprentice...... But since that's the case, I believe that Kryda is pro~"
So, Elysia and Crelda acted together. While telling her paladins to retreat and not to hurt any more people, Kryda also told Elysia about something.
Later, they need to have some Destiny follow Kryda to the Earth of the Fourth World for a period of time. After all, in her eyes, the Mandate of Heaven did not have the slightest ability to resist the attack of Saint Gama.
After all, Kryda was also a much more powerful Origin Lawgiver than Elysia. If there was a fight, the Mandate of Heaven would have been gone long ago, and this is also an established fact.
"So, Koryda, what is the Earth of the Fourth World like?"
"Hmm...... Let's put it this way, maybe Gadescu will use the 'new humans' of the second world as captives, and then send them to the earth of the fourth world, where they will work day and night to collect minerals called the 'Bayeri Energy Mine'. ”
"How so? Aren't you, my dear Koreda, similar to the pirates? ”
"It's okay, I'll take care of your companions, there's an organization on Earth that resists the tyranny of Gaidescu, an action organization called the 'Children of Darkness', and I've asked the leader over there, I hope to help you, I won't embarrass you."
After discussing with Elysia, Khryda decided to end the war of aggression and use her power to restore the damaged destiny to its original state.
After all, in front of the high-level paladins who hold the "Holy Inscription", even a lawyer like Mei Yi and Bronya can't gain an advantage in their hands.
In other words, it is to the level of using laser cannon to hit the level of primitive people, and the Mandate of Heaven has absolutely no chance of winning.
"Then, my dear Elysia, Your Majesty Annell will ask you to take care of her, she just sent me a message saying that she is safe and sound, and I am relieved."
"What should I do next, my dear Kryda?"
"It's simple, declare 'surrender' and be willing to provide captives, and I will take your companions to the Earth of the Fourth World to join the 'Children of Darkness'."
So, as soon as Elysia left as Creda had told, she drove the starlight within her, shining and mysterious.
['Give peace to the world, this is the advent of the stars'! 】
In an instant, driven by the power of Kreda, the entire Destiny of Heaven was surrounded by shining starlight.
Those Valkyrie and Ash agents who had fallen and died were also reborn and awakened at this moment.
The same goes for the paladins of the Gamma people. At this moment, everyone was freed from the fate of death, regained their vitality and vitality, and forgot about the war.
"Huh...... What are we? What are you doing? Why is it here? ”
"yes, what are we doing in the second world?"
Driven by the power of the Lawyer of Kreda, everything seems to return from the passage of time, and the ruined streets and towns are restored to their original state in an instant.
Although the Mandate of Heaven fell, they did not lose the war, but gained new opportunities.
What will happen next is about to change the entire fate of the Mandate of Heaven.
Fourth World - Earth - San Gama Temporary Mine
Ritter, Lynch, and Bronya are led here by Elysia and Creda.
After the fall of the Mandate of Heaven, the "Thirteen High Councils" of the Mandate of Heaven signed a surrender agreement. The Second World sent a large number of "slaves" to the Fourth World's Gamma Holy City, and because of this, they were treated as coolies and prepared to work in this mine.
Bronya was also defeated in the battle against the "High Paladin", and Ritter and Lin Qi were also as dead as ashes the moment they heard the Mandate of Heaven announce their surrender.
The paladins are too powerful and their civilization is highly developed, and they are definitely not "new humans" like them, and the existence that the "Star Lawgiver" can fight against, and they belong to the enemies of the extraterrestrial civilization system.
Moreover, Kryda's power seems to be higher than that of Elysia. She not only restored the entire destiny to its original state in an instant, but also rewrote the "fate" that should have sacrificed people.
Her ability actually belongs to the same source as Rin's holy marking-
That's the "Power of the Stars".
If Elysia is the "Daughter of the Earth", then Kryda is the "Daughter of the Stars".
She comes from the universe, and the deep starlight is her symbol.
This visit to the mine was also the will of the Pope of Gaidescu. The defeated "slaves" had to be enslaved by the Gamma people and work to the death for the prosperity of the Gamma.
However, Kryda had her own considerations, and did not rush to lead everyone in.
"Korida, the gentleman you said of the 'Children of Darkness', he should be here, right?"
"Well, wait a minute, your people, I'm going to arrange all of you into the rebel alliance of the 'Children of Darkness', I hope you are ready on Earth, we are ready to resist the tyranny of the Akademiya."
The earth scene of the Fourth World is desolate and dilapidated.
Wasteland and yellow sand and rocky wonders eroded by wind and sand can be found everywhere.
And, according to Kryda, the Earth of the Fourth World is a place where "there is no night". Here, in order to allow the "slaves" to work day and night, Pope Gedescu also used his power to give the earth the vision of "never night".
Looking at the golden aurora in the sky, it was supposed to be night, but due to the golden aurora, it was forced to become "daytime", which also foreshadowed the tragic fate of the slaves here.
Looking up at the peculiar sky, Bronya also pondered, only to see her say thoughtfully:
"Really...... It's strange, the Fourth World has actually become like this, didn't Yang Ju say it? The Fourth World is a world without 'Honkai', and it is also an observation site with the status 'SA' (safe). ”
"Then why, is there even more chaos here than in the Third World? Tell us, Knight Chief Zeluhi, what happened here? ”
Zelushi explained to Bronya that the Fourth World, where they Gamma, was originally an "idealized", "without any collapse", and "ruled by Gammamen".
In this world, the Gamma people do not use "Honkai Energy", but a high-dimensional energy source called "Holy Energy", and it is also because of the use of Holy Energy that the Gamma people are far more civilized than the current civilization.
In other words, the timeline of the Fourth World is the timeline of "the Gamma people still exist in the world". Here, the Gamma people have destroyed the ecological environment on a large scale due to the overdeveloped civilization, and the entire earth is also covered with yellow sand, becoming the tomb of the ancient Gamma civilization.
In the Fourth World, less than 20% of the entire planet is ocean, and the rest is bare and covered with yellow sand after the seabed has dried up.
After hearing this, Bronya finally learned about the anomaly that happened in the Fourth World, and that the rank "SA" only represented the level of erosion of the Honkai, not that the Fourth World was a safe place.
Although he was unable to contact the Genesis Alliance, according to Zeluhi's description, it seems that the Saint King Igley was aware of the existence of the Genesis Alliance, and was trying to prepare to block the portal of the Alliance.
There was still some time, and Zelushi also ordered the person in charge of the mine to wait inside, and he would bring another group of "slaves" to work here.
"Well, Lord Zeluhi, your battle today can be described as 'extremely brave', not only did it make these lowly dogs surrender easily, but also...... You have been so generous to them, and you are a model for us in Sri Gamma. ”
"Don't say that, I have always taught you to 'treat everyone equally', even if they are slaves, they are still dignified beings."
"Yes, yes...... What you teach: ”
The mine owner instructed Zelushi not to forget to distribute them "slave uniforms", and then continued to go in and reprimand the group of slaves for mining, giving their all to the noble "Children of Light".
Seeing this, Lin Qi was also disgusted to her stomach, and she also hated the aggression of the Gamma people, who continued to be so greedy and unbridled that sooner or later they would destroy their entire civilization.
Ritter also said:
"I finally know how the gamma civilization was destroyed...... I guess this look, the 'Heavenly Saints' can't stand it, right? ”
At this time, when Zeluxi heard this, he also showed a sad expression.
She said that as an "apostle of God", she had done things that were sorry for humanity before. She could have led people on the right track, but it hastened the Gamma's revenge on the Celestial Sage, which should not have been.
There is no "justice" in this Fourth World. In other words, if the side that wins the war, it can represent "justice" and enslave people from other worlds at will under the false name of this false name.
Compared with the Third World, everyone immediately lost their favor for the Fourth World, and only hoped that the battle would end as soon as possible and return to their hometown.
"That's right...... Ladies and gentlemen, I heard that there are people you know from the Star Alliance, so I'll continue to call the leaders of the Darkchildren. ”
Zelushi took out her mobile phone, a high-tech gad called "Prophet".
However, Zeluhi's Prophet seems to be more expensive, her "Prophet" looks like a transparent crystal phone, it looks very advanced, and it also looks expensive.
"Well, Your Highness Princess Zelushi, we have sent a convoy to rob the 'compatriots' you have brought...... The motorbike may be a little slow, so please wait a while. ”
"It's okay, do your best, you are also our compatriots, I just hope this struggle ends soon."
After hanging up, Elysia seems to be very interested in Zeluxi's phone. She wanted Zelushi to lend her her phone to play with and see how different this gamma-man's "high-tech" was.
Zelucy was also very happy to give her mobile phone to Elysia to play with, and then, she seemed to think that everyone's mobile phone (communicator) was a bit old, and she couldn't communicate normally in the Fourth World, so she also said:
"Ladies and gentlemen, although you can't go to the Holy King City yet, I promise you that if you can come to our Holy King City smoothly, I will buy one of these 'prophets' for each of you, which can be regarded as making up for my mistakes."
Elysia's eyes were green, and she was also playing with the "prophet" in her hand, and she couldn't put it down. It seems that this transparent crystal mobile phone is a very rare object, and under her operation, the "prophet" also shows air projection and plays a somatosensory game.
"Alright, Alysia, can you give it back to me? I will definitely do what I promised you, and now that I'm a little hungry, I'll have to go back early to replenish my energy. ”
"Huh...... Keruida really likes to eat, and before I came here, I always heard you say things like 'lunch'. ”
"Eating is an act that everyone has, although we are all 'apostles of God', but we also have human bodies and behaviors, so that we can live like human beings."
"Uh-huh, then I'm looking forward to the good news from Kryda."
Soon, the motorcycle team of the "Children of Darkness" arrived here. Each of them is armed with a standard laser rifle, a specially crafted weapon capable of piercing through the "psionic armor" of the Gamma Paladins and inflicting damage on them.
Their locomotives were all painted black, accompanied by smoke and flying sand, and the mine owner simply shouted, "It's the Darkmen!" The paladins stationed here were sent to stop their invasion.
The middle-aged man in the lead, with a stubble on his face, messy black slightly curly short hair, and his handsome style of dressing, all indicate that he is an "old revolutionary army".
After directing his men to quickly invade the mines and cause chaos, he also managed to join up with Kreda, came to her, took her hand, and kissed her on one knee.
"My beautiful princess, I, 'Harkran Sippy', have also come to rescue our 'compatriots' at your behest, and I am a little late, please don't mind."
"Harkland! It's all said...... You don't want this, I really ......"
"Hahaha, Her Royal Highness the shy princess is still so cute, so, these beautiful young ladies, and this handsome little brother...... It's all your people, right? Hahaha. ”
After teasing Kryda, the handsome middle-aged man named "Harkland" motioned for them to go to the camp of the "Children of Darkness" with him, and join the Children of Darkness to stay there for the time being.
When Zelushi blushed and introduced this Mr. Hackland, she also angrily hammered his arm with her small hand, saying, "Don't do that next time." ”
"Are the two couples? It's so intimate~ I'm so envious. Elysia quipped, too.
And Zelushi retorted that the ancestor of Harkland, that is, the grandfather of his grandfather, also used to salute himself in this way. As the leader of the former Tin Arm, Mr. Harkelan was also one of the heroes who led the Gamma people against Honkai.
However, Hackland did not have any Honkai adaptations, nor did he gain any Baya power such as Stigmata. With his brilliant mind and reliable ability to act, he became the leader of the Tin Armor Corps.
The Tin Armor Corps, like the "Night Moon Magic Society", "Knights of the Four Elephants" and the "Brotherhood of the Dark Moon", were all Gamma anti-Honkai alliances against Honkai, and they were similar to the "inverse entropy" and "world snake" that once existed in the second world.
Speaking of the history of the Gamma people's fight against Honkai, after the fall of the "Creation Celestial Saint - Jalfida", from the "Honkai Consciousness" that appeared in her body, an existence called the self-proclaimed "Honkai God" was born.
The Honkai Will influenced the behavior pattern of the Ten Heavenly Saints. It was also because of the infection that the "Ten Heavenly Saints" were also given a curse called "Human Nature", and gradually lost their bodies as Heavenly Saints, fell into the mortal world, and became human beings.
The same is true of the Holy King of Igley, who is sleeping in the Crystal Basilica of the Holy King, giving Pope Gedescu all his "divine powers" in the way of "dreaming".
After Zeluxi said this, he angrily asked Hackland to leave with the others quickly, and he was going home for lunch.
"Oops~ Okay, Your Highness Princess, although you let me call you 'Grandma Kreida' every time...... But you are so cute, it may be a little inappropriate to call it this way, right? ”
"Alright, alright! Don't always learn badly from your ancestors, go back quickly, or someone will come in a while. ”
Elysia could tell that Zelucy and Hackland were on good terms. It seems that the "Tin Armor Corps" on the Hackland Ancestors is also under the care of Zeluhi, that is, Miss Kreda.
"Then, Koruida, pay attention to your own safety~ My beautiful girl will go back to see you! Looking forward to your gift~"
"Well, Dear Elysia, I'm very happy to be friends with you, and I will also take care of His Royal Highness the Little Prince and not let you worry about him."
"Don't worry, my good apprentice belongs to the kind of person who can't be beaten to death~ Don't worry about him, he's a 'miracle child'."
After instructing Elysia on something, Zelushi set off to go back. Looking at the motorcycle team of the "Children of Darkness" who had gone away, Zeluxi was also relieved, but fortunately he didn't let the mine owner see it.
So, in the following time, more "Dark People" also came to this place, ready to intercept the "slaves" who came here one after another under the arrangement of Zeluxi.
Fourth World - Earth's "Children of Darkness" settlement
"Here we are, ladies and gentlemen, and handsome guys...... It's a little shabby, but don't mind. ”
Come to the base of the Dark People, a large urban area built under the yellow sand, and a revolutionary base for the "Dark People", established to rebel against Pope Gaidescu.
Because of Pope Gaidescu, the "people of light" and "people of darkness", who also belonged to the Gamma people, were forcibly separated because of the difference in whether they were born with a sacred inscription.
Because of this, the Darkchildren were dissatisfied with the cruelty of their compatriots and launched uprisings in various mines on Earth, and finally established a revolutionary base called the "Darkchildren Resistance Army".
When Bronya and the others came here, they also looked at the orderly appearance of the surroundings, and everyone used what was left behind from the wasteland and yellow sand to build this underground city.
"I heard from Her Majesty the Princess that you are the ones who have the 'Bayali', and I think it must be our honor to be here for those of us who can't get in touch with the 'Bayali'."
Bronya listened to the "Bayali" in Hackland's mouth, and asked Elysia beside her, "Sister Elysia, do you know what 'Bayali' is?" ”
Elysia remembered something, when she pulled Rin and trained him with Norney in his "Holy Mark" ability, Norni once introduced what "Bayali" was.
In the Gamma world, Bayeri is something that every "Child of Light" is born with, and basically every Child of Light uses the "Holy Inscription".
In addition to the "Bayali", which represents the collapse, there is also the "Elli", which represents sanctification, and the person who has the "Elli" is the supreme being, that is, the person closest to the "God".
Therefore, it is very rare for someone to have "Elli".
It is said that in addition to Gaidescu, he also has a group of personal guards, all of whom are paladins with "Elli".
After Elysia said this, Harkland on the side was also shocked, in his eyes, this "Miss Lawgiver of the Other World" really knew a lot, and he also sighed:
"Presumably, this beautiful young lady, you must have done your homework before you came here...... Then I won't talk nonsense, come with me, and I'll arrange your accommodation. ”
"Hee-hee~ Mr. Harkland, you don't have to be restrained, you can praise me more~"
"Hey~ This beautiful young lady, you are well-informed, and you have such a beautiful ...... It's really special, if you're interested, please take care of us 'Dark People' in the future, everyone is an ordinary person without any special abilities. ”
"Of course~ I'm a combination of wisdom and beauty.,Pink Demon Exquisite Girl~ I'll protect everyone in the future, Mr. ♪ Hackland"
Although a handsome uncle like Harkland was not Elysia's thing, she still wanted Mr. Harkland to praise herself, because she loved to hear what others said about her.
And Lin Qi didn't think so, she also felt that a handsome uncle like Harkland had his unique charm, and couldn't stop praising it:
"Mr. Harkland is a little handsome, isn't he? Captain. ”
"I didn't expect you to like such an uncle, he should be as old as your father, right? And...... Most of the 'Dark People' here are unkempt and miserable. ”
"No, Captain, Mr. Hackland doesn't have any avalanche adaptability, but the mere fact that he uses his 'mind' and 'command' to fight is already remarkable!"
Ritter glanced at the excited Lin Qi on the side, and also joked angrily:
"Then Linqi, how about you find a chance to get in touch with Mr. Harkland? Maybe he's still single? ”
"Huh?! Ritter, senior, you've gone too far! No wonder no girl likes you. ”
When they came to the room that Hackland had arranged for them, it was very simple, with only a broken bed and old furniture that they had picked up, and there was not even a place to bathe.
The Earth of the Fourth World is very water-scarce. Because water is also an important commodity, they have no choice but to continue to explore the ground and seek deeper underground sources.
Luckily, the number of "Children of Darkness" is not too large, just a small organization of a few hundred people, so these underground water sources can be put to good use.
Lynkey lives with her captain, while Ritter is reluctant to live with Elysia for fear of making it inconvenient for both of them, so he wants to go to Mr. Harkeland to see if he can make it easier for the gay man.
When Ritter found Harkland, he was talking to a petite woman with a blue seaweed chicken nest.
From Hackland's mouth, he respectfully called the woman in front of him "Dr. Lisel", and Ritter also remembered something at this time.
Isn't this Dr. Edward's adoptive mother? I heard that she came to the Fourth World to explore ancient ruins, and she has also been stationed here for a long time.
Unexpectedly, she actually appeared in the territory of the Dark People, presumably a long-term resident here.
"Dr. Lisel, then...... I'll call the 'Star Alliance' and hope they will pick you up, as you can see, the heroes have come from afar, and it will be a little inconvenient to stay here. ”
"Well, please, Harkland, I heard that the Gamma people have invaded the 'Second World', and I also informed Kevin's old boy as soon as possible, and asked him to come and pick him up."
"Hahaha...... You first-world people are really interesting, but I'm one of the observers of the Star Alliance, but it's a shame that I can't say the same interesting things as you. ”
"Don't you always say 'Brother Harvey' or something? That guy is still out running errands, and he is also someone who often doesn't see him, so ...... Harkland, if Igley's threat disappears, the Star Alliance may be able to consider your application. ”
As Ritter observed the small talk between the two men, a hand patted his arm and motioned for him to look back at himself.
Ritter was taken aback, and the person behind him was none other than Dr. Edward, who had come here to assist you, wearing his usual black Genesis Alliance overalls, to meet his good brother Ritter.
"Wow, do you want to be so scary? Doctor. ”
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you reacted so much...... I've already heard that the gamma paladins invaded the 'Second World' and then captured a group of slaves and left, but I didn't expect you to be among them. ”
"yes...... Those bastards are really lawless, by the way, what about my sister? She should be safe. ”
"Sister Rita is already waiting for you in the Star Alliance, after my mother and I take you back, you still have to take a good rest, lest you can't do anything after that."
At this time, Hackland also seemed to notice two people. He stopped talking to Dr. Lisel and walked over to the two men, motioning for them to hurry up and prepare for the Genesis Alliance.
Dr. Edward and Dr. Lisel also came here, and after hearing about what happened to Elysia and the others, they also came to pick them up and bring them back to the Genesis Alliance at Kevin's behest.
"So...... Everyone, be careful on the road, we are your temporary base, you must remember to come back. ”
