"Boom ——!"

After Ryu's anxious warning, the door of the tavern was rushed open, and a monster covered in purple crystals snorted, stepped on the broken wood slag, and pounced on Roland's position, its hideous mouth opened, revealing the same purple crystals of teeth and sharp teeth, wanting to choose someone to eat.

But Roland only raised his head faintly, staring at the monster that pounced on him, recalling the wonderful feeling just now.

As natural as breathing, as simple as breaking an HB pencil, Roland grasped the power that truly belonged to him, and grasped the gears that were at his disposal.

"Be careful!"

But even Xi'er, who has fanatical trust in Roland, still made a voice of surprise in the face of such a move.

"Five-second ......"

Roland recalled the first time he had held the gears, and while it was a bit strange to say the exact number of seconds in a world where time had stood still, all in all, he had stopped time for about five seconds.

Not relying on magic, nor relying on the spirit of the contract, but relying on his own body and ability, he stopped time.

What's the situation, he's in a humanoid world now?

Roland didn't know how this feeling worked, but for him now, the ability to stop time was etched into his instincts.

However, the result of only five seconds of stagnation just now made Roland feel very unsatisfied, maybe this number is the limit of human beings, but for vampires it is more than that, let alone him now?

Looking at the monster that pounced on him in front of him, Roland's blood-colored pupils seemed to be burning with flames, and endless ambition and power swelled in them.

He opened his hands as if to embrace the whole world, and then, Roland shouted the name chosen by the apex of the world.

“——The World！”

The next moment, the still world once again ushered in its dominant.

In stopping time, Roland experienced two diametrically opposed emotions at the same time: greatness and insignificance.

He turned his head curiously, looking at the surroundings without any anomalies, but it seemed extremely distant, as if it had been separated from reality and turned into a world like a work of art.

The monster still pounced, and Roland could even see the staggered virus crystals in the gaping jaws, as well as the undried blood stains of the victims on the sharp teeth.

In the stagnant world, the expressions on the monsters' faces are still vivid, but they feel as illusory as puppets.

"Is this the power of time to stop?"

Roland moved his fingers lightly, understanding why Dio became so arrogant, Roland somewhat understood Dio, the infinite space and infinite time were stagnant because of his small self, and it was natural to have this power and the idea of dominating everything.

With this ability, it is indeed difficult to empathize with mortals, who are like NPCs created by this world to please themselves, and they can do whatever they want.

"Five seconds have passed......"

Roland moved slowly forward, light like an elegant cat, but his hideous pupils flickered with a strange and fanatical blood light.

"Six seconds have passed......"

Roland quietly felt the passage of time, and he was the only one who was an unaffected existence in this world where time stopped.

He looked at the monster in front of him, called out the Killer Queen, and gave it a set of physical withered heart-piercing attacks.

One punch.

'Bang-'

With a loud bang, the monster's chest and abdomen suddenly became dented and pierced.

The Killer Queen's arm pierced straight through his body, pinning him to his hand.

The monster hangs in the hands of the killer queen like this, and is still ignorant of everything that happens to him.

At the moment when the heart was pierced, the shattered internal organs and splattered blood were like budding flowers, and they were frozen in the stagnant world again as soon as they overflowed.

This monster is dead, but in a world where time has stopped, even the reality of death has been stopped.

The Killer Queen pulled out her arm, allowing Roland to see the monster's injuries clearly, in addition to the terrifying hole in her chest, even the monster's most critical magic stone was turned into a puddle of powder under the Killer Queen's merciless power.

"Nine seconds have passed! I'm still in time to stop! ”

Roland only felt that all the previous depression disappeared, and all dissatisfaction disappeared with this punch, and he showed a refreshing smile and closed his palms.

"How long can I stop now? It doesn't feel like you've reached the limit yet...... I still want to test it, but I still have to save some energy to deal with the troubles outside. ”

In the stagnant time, Roland easily observed everything around him, his eyes haughty as if a king was patrolling his territory.

Under the influence of my own physique, the defect of stopping too short a time has also been compensated, "One day, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, I can stop for as long as I want." ”

Roland muttered as he began the final countdown.

"—Now, time is flowing again."

The void faded quickly, and the monster's eyes flashed with a smart light again, and it maintained the action of pounce, and before it could react, it was directly knocked out by the huge force from its chest.

The monster's head was raised high, and its teeth eager to taste the blood were satisfied, and the blood of his own gushing out of his neck stained its entire mouth with a sticky dark red.

Even Ryu, who had already raised her hand at some point, held a small knife and rushed towards this side, was stunned in place, she didn't even notice when Roland launched the attack just now.

Is this the gap between heroes and mortals?

Roland's eyebrows rose slightly, even if he knew that he had to maintain the character of a hero, he couldn't help but reveal that kind of arrogance that could not be concealed at this moment.

"I can get stronger...... One day, {Heaven} will be firmly held by me! ”

"Are you alright?"

Roland glanced at the monster that had turned to ashes, and turned his head to look at Xi'er next to him.

"It's okay...... Lord Roland. ”

Cier's eyes were already full of intoxication at this time, and she put her hands on her chest, and the blush on her face was like a continuous rainbow of clouds.

At this time, Ryuya lowered the small knife in his hand, but he didn't put it away, but walked over nervously, obviously with no intention of reverting to an ordinary waiter.

And behind her, the rest of the clerks of the bountiful hostess also took up their weapons, became murderous, and watched the movement outside vigilantly.

"What happened?"

Roland frowned, and he also had some doubts about this battle, which could make these high-level adventurers become so vigilant and vigilant, but it should not be right for a simple monster to escape This kind of event, the monster just now looked vicious, but it was only at the level of lv2.

For the clerks who are at least lv4, they don't even count as appetizers, and even if there are a little more of them, the situation will only turn in their favor.

So, what's going on out there? Did the Queen of Viruses launch a lost Christmas early? Impossible...... With a power of this magnitude, it is impossible for a monster to be released for a small moment, and it is impossible for him to be unaware.

"A catastrophe...... Or rather, the Holocaust. ”

Ryu, who had always been indifferent, did not have his usual calmness after hearing Roland's inquiry, but looked out the window and made a voice like a whisper.

Roland stared intently.

Not far from the dilapidated tavern gate, at the end of the street, several figures in leather armor were staggering over, weapons in hand, attacking the closed door of another house in an orderly manner.

The movements of the attacks are clumsy and sluggish, even for novices who have never used a weapon, but the ease of piercing through the solid wooden door and making the shards fly each time proves that they are not just novices, but adventurers who have grown up in the dungeon after gaining favor.

"What, is that drunk and starting to go crazy?"

Ciel looked at the actions of those adventurers with some confusion, obviously not realizing the seriousness of the situation, although she was standing behind her was the largest family member of Olarie, but for the goddess of beauty, I am afraid that taking on the duties of the main god is the same as going to work, and she is not interested at all.

She did know something about purple crystals, but definitely not much.

At the end of the street, it was a hundred meters away from the entrance of the tavern, and for Xi'er, who was no different from a normal person at the moment, he could only see the general situation.

However, this does not include Roland, who has long been out of business.

He clearly saw that there were still a few wounds on the bodies of the group of adventurers who were attacking normally and wantonly, and there were still several wounds that were flowing with dark red blood, but the purple crystals soon covered those wounds, like an armor all over the bodies of those adventurers, and gradually spread to the weapons in their hands.

And the white pupils and the pale skin that is no different from the dead show that they have officially separated from the human realm.

After breaching the wooden door, the adventurers swarmed up like wolves smelling their prey, and relentlessly attacked the screaming inhabitants inside.

Blood was soon pouring out, but the process didn't last long, because every attack on his body by a weapon tainted with the virus would make the purple crystals symbolizing the apocalypse virus on the inhabitants spread like crazy until they grew close enough to the attacking adventurers.

Then, the inhabitants who had been attacked and were already dying stood up tremblingly, and began to wander aimlessly, letting out an intellectless roar from their throats, and joined the hunt.

In a few moments, thanks to the efforts of these infected adventurers, the size of their companions spread like locusts in transit.

"Am I on the wrong set again?"

Roland frowned, this is completely different from the apocalypse virus in his impression, the crystallization spread of this scale has long been in the third or fourth stage, and in the world of the Crown of Sin, this is basically no different from death, but the people here can still be alive.

If the difference in the physique of the adventurer is caused by favor, then there is no reason why the resident who is an ordinary person just now is like this?

Moreover, this image of a mindless man, like a living dead, always reminds Roland of another creature.

- Zombies.

But Roland didn't remember that the Apocalypse Virus still had the effect of destroying people's minds, even if it was the butterfly effect caused by his own actions, it could not be so outrageous, and the Apocalypse Virus was not a T-virus.

Something is wrong, the Queen of Viruses does want to destroy the world, but her method should be to let the virus spread and then explode through genetic resonance in one breath, instead of the current zombie siege scenario.

There were off-the-field factors in this spirit that she had not even been aware of, and even that it had affected the nature of the Apocalypse Virus itself.

But in any case, now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, the fall of Olarie is inevitable.

However, for high-level combat power, the impact of this infection may not be so great, after all, the gap brought by each upgrade is very different.

As long as you buy a certain amount of time, not to mention restore the order of the entire Eulari, it is not a big problem for Olarie to establish a reliable survivor force for Olarie, who is the center of the world.

The only thing to worry about is the follow-up treatment, after all, the virus seems to have spread to the whole world, and if you are not careful, this world will really become a replica of Resident Evil.

"There's no time, come with me."

Roland quietly glanced at Xi'er and Ryu next to him, grabbed Esther's hand next to him, and let him directly transform into the form of the Demon Destroying Holy Sword and walked outside.

Several people in the tavern hesitated for a while, and Miya's mother subconsciously looked at Xi'er, seeing that the other party did not hesitate at all, and excitedly followed the movements behind Roland, she also sighed helplessly and followed.

"Where are we going now?"

Although she is an adventurer of lv6 and has held the position of head of the group in the past, in front of the serious Roland and the adoring Xi'er, she has no intention of fighting for the leadership.

"Go to the guild first, my family's Hestia and a bunch of stupid gods are probably blocked there, they are the strongest group of adventurer main gods in Olali, and if there is another return of the gods, it is estimated that this matter will not be over."

Roland calmly judged the situation, whether it was out of a simple sense of responsibility or his own principles, Roland would not be able to give up Hestia, if it wasn't for the fact that the situation was still under control, he had already used the power of the Dark Shadow Kingdom to shuttle over.

However, since the crisis has just begun to spread, he has no intention of letting go of this opportunity.

It is more convincing than the heroes who have achieved feats in peacetime, or the heroes honed in blood and fire.

"So many gods are just ordinary people, if it's just one or two, we can still carry it, but if there are many people, it's troublesome, and we don't have that much energy, not to mention Xi'er is also ......"

Hearing that she would go to the guild first, Miya's mother nodded, but then reacted that Xi'er next to her was just an ordinary person now, and she subconsciously wanted to tell the identity of the other party.

But the one who came before Xi'er's stern gaze was Roland's calm voice.

He waved the holy sword in his hand, and directly cut off a shop in front of him and several zombies that wanted to surround him, revealing the horse and the frame behind it in the alley behind the store.

The people behind him immediately understood, and got into the carriage with all hands and feet, turning it into a chariot in an instant, while Roland turned over directly on the horse, while protecting the horses, while killing the zombies next to him, the light Ryu also quickly rode on the horse next to Roland, as a flank to assist Roland's actions.

With Roland as the striker, they left the streets of their current and entered the eight main lines of Olarie.

Then, she was speechless by the shock of what she saw.

The group of wandering corpses rushed in all directions like a tide, roaring, and at a glance, it looked like a sea of purple crystals.

"Go ahead, I'll clear the way."

With a wave of his hand, Roland slashed the corpses in front of him, adding a splash of color to the drab purple crystal.

"There are so many people who can be infected...... The carriage couldn't get through. ”

Before Ryu's words could be spoken, he was interrupted by Roland's indifferent voice.

"Isn't the sidewalk wide? Open it for me! ”
