Chapter Seventy-Five: Arrogance Under Reason
The preparation of the protagonist's side is obviously more sufficient.
Even though the villain in the bottle devoured the "god" and was able to inspire all kinds of alchemy at will, he himself was not good at fighting.
Moreover, he is now desperately lacking in the Philosopher's Stone, and he does not dare to use alchemy that consumes too much energy to prevent the backlash of the "gods".
To put it bluntly, he was beaten all the time.
The villain in the bottle rushed to the top of the presidential palace, surrounded by nearly a hundred soldiers of the Northern Army.
Originally, he wanted to refine the soldiers into the Sage's Stone, but when he made a move, a black and white refining array suddenly appeared on the soldiers' helmets, and immediately countered the refining of the villain in the bottle!
This is a miniature version of the anti-sage stone refining array, Wang Shui has also mastered the "sage stone refining principle" for so many years, how could he not think of developing countermeasures.
If it weren't for the rarity of countermeasure materials, and Wang Shui didn't want to waste the Philosopher's Stone, today's battle would definitely be more than one hundred fights.
Of course, this is also thanks to the arrogance and inertia of the villain in the bottle.
For more than 400 years, he had not thought of improving the Philosopher's Stone Formation at all, and was still using his "Truth" base version.
"You guys! All! Want! Die! ”
The expression became more and more hideous, and the villain in the bottle no longer dodged, he chose to use the shield to resist the damage, and then took the initiative to counterattack, which made the momentum of the protagonist group weaker.
The villain in the bottle still didn't pay attention to Wang Shui and Sylvia who were hanging up next to him, he didn't have the battle consciousness to observe the overall situation, and his consciousness was already a little crazy.
But he noticed something else—the 300,000 souls hovering in the sky!
The villain in the bottle doesn't know why so many souls haven't returned to their bodies, but they are all philosopher's stones!
Immediately thought of the idea of breaking the game, the villain in the bottle threw out a burst of bright light, the momentum was very strong but the power was limited, it only scared off the people around him, this was the first time he made the right decision in battle.
But then, he made an extremely wrong decision.
The villain in the bottle controlled the earth and stone ground to lift him up, helping him quickly approach the 300,000 souls hovering in the air, and he wanted to take these souls into his pocket!
His eyes were fixed on the spirits as he ascended, and the corners of his mouth began to grin, but suddenly, a bright silver-white light flashed before his eyes.
Then there was an empty foot, and the little man in the bottle fell from the sky.
He looked at the shattered stone pillar with some surprise, and at the human woman who fell with him next to him—the other party was nothing special, and the posture of falling from the sky was very relaxed.
It's just that the long sword in her hand is surrounded by strange black and white flames, and her eyes are full of calm, and monstrous killing intent!
In the tense battle, everyone does not have time to sensationalize, reason, or impassionedly output their three views like in the anime.
After the villain in the bottle scared everyone away before, the people below were still paying attention to the villain in the bottle, whether they were preparing to attack or checking their status.
Then they saw a ray of moonlight rushing up from the ground to the sky, saw the elongating stone pillar inexplicably shatter into several pieces, and finally saw the sharp sword light connected together!
The absolute defensive shield of the villain in the bottle was easily pierced by the two-handed long sword entwined with black and white flames, and the continuous burst of moonlight made everyone feel numb in their backs.
The airtime is less than two seconds.
Before Sylvia landed, she kicked the villain in the bottle out with a kick, and then several silver rays of light burst out from the water king's body, and the latter shot the villain in the bottle, nailing him to the wall!
Bang bang bang –
After the continuous gunshots, ten bullets fell around the villain's body in the bottle, combined with the ten flying knives inserted in his body, the black and white refining array was launched, and the villain in the bottle was immediately sealed!
"Wouldn't it be nice to live a little longer?" Wang Shui sighed helplessly, and then looked at Sylvia, who was still standing in place.
She had been standing there ever since she landed, the sword in her hand disintegrating and disappearing in the black and white flames, and the flames extended to her.
Sylvia had already severed the grip, and consciousness silently returned to the body of the reg water.
Because of her forcible outburst, the android's body has broken inch by inch, and even if Shui Wang controls the [Death Fire], that body can no longer be used.
The people around them didn't know it, they watched Mr. Viva's bodyguard be decomposed by the flames, and thought that Sylvia had sacrificed herself to seriously injure the villain in the bottle before he could absorb the heavenly soul.
Actually, it's not wrong to think so.
"Mr. Via! Kill him! Don't let down the sacrifice of Miss Bodyguard! ”
Edward shouted at Aqua regia from a place very close to the villain in the bottle, just now he tried to attack the villain in the bottle that was nailed to the wall, but the attack was blocked by the refining array that imprisoned the enemy.
At this time, Hohenheim also saw the content of the refining array clearly, probably because Aqua regia was using his own power to help the villain in the bottle suppress the "god", so that the god could not easily fight back.
"Hill Via! Kill him! What are you thinking?! ”
Hohenheim's shouting only made Wang Shui shake his head.
"It's over, it's okay here, I'll kill him in a while, you should rest, and if you still have something to do, hurry up and do it."
Hearing Wang Shui's words, Major Myers, the on-site commander of the Northern Army, looked at Mastan, who nodded to him, and then the two began to direct the army to evacuate.
They are going to clean up the presidential palace and take over the country, which was agreed with Mr. Via before.
Everyone else was also very tired, and when they heard Wang Shui's words, everyone immediately relaxed a lot.
Only Hohenheim, who had always been his nightmare and long-cherished wish to "kill the villain in the bottle and commit suicide", was now able to do it immediately, but was stuck by aqua regia, and the seeds of doubt germinated again.
Hohenheim didn't understand, and as he walked towards Shui regia, he asked:
"Why! Why not kill him right away! Do you want to become a god too?! ”
"Do you think I'm that stupid? And am I weaker than the stupid god over there now? ”
Hohenheim was overstrained, and if the villain in the bottle did not die, he would not be able to feel at ease.
As soon as he approached Wang Shui, a metal fence was raised on the ground to enclose Hohenheim, and Wang Shui said to the Edward brothers:
"Take your father away, he doesn't have many philosopher's stones in his body anymore, he may die at any time, and the rest will be left to me tomorrow."
Edward looked at Al, then nodded to Wang Shui.
Over there, Hohenheim still wanted to struggle, but a wave of sleepiness hit him inexplicably, and he fell asleep directly.
Wang Shui stepped forward and pulled out the thin needle on Hohenheim's body, and carefully put it away, the powerful toxin on it was very expensive, and it was a good thing in the main world.
Everyone left, leaving only Wang Shuipan sitting on an upturned slab, quietly looking south.
The villain in the bottle next to him gradually regained some consciousness.
His body was shattered, and a strange pain swept through his nerves, and he couldn't feel the Philosopher's Stone in his body, nor could he feel the "god", and he couldn't even concentrate because of the pain.
The strange refining array trapped him firmly, maintaining everything.
After a while, a black dot in the southern sky gradually magnified - it was a high-speed drone, and it had begun to slow down.
Before the drone crashed into the presidential palace, a small box was bounced out and flew towards Shui Regico.
Wang Shui easily caught the box that was already very slow, and after opening it, there were three crystal cards inside, which were the computing crystal cards of [Core Computing Cloud Crater], which was its core.
"Only three?" Sylvia asked, a little anxious.
Wang Shui did not answer immediately.
He pulled out a metal box from his pocket, inserted the Crystal Card, and said the last thing Sylvia wanted to hear:
"Three, maybe you won't be able to use it, it's not that it's too late, but I'm too greedy."
With the input of Wang Shui, a new [Thinking Lock Computing Cloud] was quickly constructed.
The complex Overworld [Alchemy Array] was generated at the feet of Wang Shui, and in the soul storm of 300,000 people in the sky, more than a dozen or twenty of them gradually flew down and melted into the computing crystal card.
"Only a few of them were saved......
Sylvia's voice was much quieter, and she didn't show anger or blame for Shui Wang.
She knew Wang Shui, so she calmly accepted the reality, after all, she had experienced this kind of thing a lot.
Wang Shui is a very nostalgic person, even if it is a pen, a computer, any old objects are broken, he will clean them up and put them away carefully - he has always valued his hard work.
Wang Shui may kill many people, but he will never waste the feelings he has poured out.
Holding the arithmetic crystal card tightly in his hand, Wang Shui was silent for a long time, and finally, he took out an alchemy pen.
He took off his shirt, and the cold tip of the pen slashed across the chest of the regal water, leaving an even sage graphite mark.
Wang Shui's hand was steady and fast, and a complex [alchemy array] spread out on his chest, even extending all the way to his abdomen.
"It's my fault, and it's wrong twice. The first mistake is that I should not be greedy, I only want to expand the number of artificial souls as soon as possible, limiting the soul computing power of each individual to only 1BVail (Extraordinary Computing Power Unit), and at the same time, only a small number of individuals with a high degree of self-consciousness can have higher computing power.
Lacking complexity and having too fragile souls, their consciousness has already dissipated at the same time that the [Mind Lock Computing Cloud] is shattered. ”
As he spoke, Wang Shui cut the skin on his chest, and a lot of blood flowed out, impregnating the alchemy array.
"The second mistake is that because I am used to treating them as tools, I ignored their existence, I didn't think that they were also complete souls, and I didn't transfer them in advance, causing them to die in vain."
Wang Shui moved his fingers, and a large amount of alchemy model data came to his mind, and he said to Sylvia:
"But I'll take them with me."
The array activated, and black and white lightning erupted from Wang Shui's body, and the fierce electric light rushed straight into the sky, and the lightning connected into a net, enveloping the soul storm in the sky, and dragging it towards Wang Shui's body.
There was a burning sensation in his chest, Wang Shui felt the patterns and words on his body burning, and a powerful soul torrent poured down from the sky, he was shocked and retreated several steps, and only when the vision in the sky disappeared did Wang Shui stand firm.
The alchemy array on Wang Shui's chest disappeared, leaving only a red ring, while Wang Shui felt a strange vitality.
Three hundred thousand copies of the Philosopher's Stone turned into a red liquid that melted into his flesh and blood.
Because the Philosopher's Stone maintained its own existence, did not change the genes of Ay Ayralia, and did not change his body structure, the [Knower] talent did not react much.
But Wang Shui sensed them, they had merged into one, and there was no longer a single state.
Sylvia watched everything and did not comment on it.
With a strong power, Wang Shui was not happy at all, he walked to the side of the villain in the bottle with a stinky face, and said calmly:
"I wanted to torture you, but I lost interest when I saw you look stupid, arrogant and stupid thing."
As he spoke, Wang Shui let go of the suppression of the "god", but at the same time, he also activated another refining array.
At this time, on the aerial drones in the stratosphere all over the world, all the signal base stations are turned on to the maximum power.
Based on the [Sylvia Network], the invisible refining array is connected into a ball, covering the entire planet!
Behind Wang Shui, his own Gate of Truth emerged, and in silence, the spherical refining array was further strengthened.
An invisible [Singularity] immediately devours the villain in the bottle in reverse!
The moment the villain in the bottle disappeared into this world, Wang Shui pointed to the general position of the singularity with his hand, and the surrounding environment immediately turned snow-white.
In the field of vision was the familiar white space, the familiar door of truth, and the familiar, but I don't know what the use of the hollowed-out metal ball.
Wang Shui stood here again.
Over the years, he has come here often, often opening his own doors of truth, exchanging knowledge with the Philosopher's Stone, until the knowledge he wants has not been discovered, or has not been studied.
The knowledge behind the gate of truth grows over time, and the "truth" itself is more like a responsible recorder, and the knowledge that it identifies as the truth will be recorded after a period of time, constantly improving the "omniscience".
This part of the knowledge was slowly explored by Wang Shui and all the researchers over the years.
God is both "all" and "one," but He is not anything that never existed, and He did not know knowledge that never existed, such as before He did not know that this was a fantasy world.
Wang Shui was a little distracted, he turned around and looked at the other door of truth that appeared here inexplicably, and the other two guys.
One is the villain in a bottle like a black briquette, and the other is "God", who is now a tarnished version of the villain in the bottle.
"Don't worry about me, you go on, I'm not in a hurry."
Wang Shui was very kind and said that he could queue up.
"You! It's all you! I've evolved into a full being, I've become a god! You've got it! ”
The villain in the bottle had a loud voice, and Wang Shui immediately regretted his kindness.
But before the attack of aqua regia, "God" spoke, and He said to the little man in the bottle:
"Compared to a handful of human leaders, you are the most arrogant being. As you have said, the truth is to give the right amount of despair to the arrogant, so return to the truth. ”
"God" didn't talk too much nonsense, and directly let the blank door of truth behind the villain in the bottle open, and a bunch of black arms stretched out and dragged the villain in the bottle inside.
"Nope! I don't want to go back there! I don't want to be bound by endless darkness! No! ”
The incompetent, furious shouts of the villain in the bottle made the royal water more comfortable.
"So, what are you trying to do with all the effort to keep me here?
If you want to resurrect those special souls, I think you already know the answer. Or do you want to devour me and fuse me too? You're not such a arrogant person. ”
"Huh? You don't know what I'm thinking right now? ”
"Why do you think I know? I can just see your experiences, I can see what you've done before, what you've seen, and I can't read minds in real time, well—maybe if you work hard, if you can do it in real time, I'll get that ability too. ”
"It sounds like you're a thief, too, like the villain in the bottle." Wang Shui did not speak to "God" very politely.
"A thief is also one, and so am I." "God" always has a peculiar sense of ease.
"Okay, let's not be verbose, I want to get more knowledge.
I can only start from my own body of knowledge when I open my own door to truth, and when I look for knowledge that goes too far, I pay a great price.
So, I have withheld you, I have withheld you now, and you are now the complete "God". ”
Then, Wang Shui pointed to the blank door that had not disappeared and said.
"This door is the door of truth for the villain in the bottle, and now it is also the door of truth for "God", because of your existence, the knowledge system behind this door has reached the state of "omniscience", if I use this door to face the truth, I will obtain knowledge at the minimum cost, and I will also see the complete truth."
"But you know, with the human brain, there is simply no way to memorize such a huge amount of knowledge, and confronting the full truth can make your soul change."
As long as he is not arrogant, "God" is still quite kind.
"I use my special ability to memorize knowledge in my soul instead of the physical structure of my brain. And I'll offer some extra sacrifices in exchange for your help, and if my soul moves, you kick me out. ”
As he spoke, a large number of Philosopher's Stones appeared out of thin air and formed a hill around Wang Shui.
Having come here many times in exchange for knowledge, Wang Shui has been able to contact his Awakened Space here.
"Imprint knowledge in the soul", this knowledge comes from a book called "The Study of the Knowers: Anatomy and Analysis", which is the knowledge you bring from another world, and you also have the ability called [Arrogant Knowers], so you can do it, it's fun."
"So, you agreed to help me?"
"You will be forced to sacrifice with the Philosopher's Stone, I can't refuse, but with your little sacrifice, I can't read all the history of this universe."
Wang Shui put his hands into the pockets of his windbreaker and said flatly:
"Of course, my requirements are not high, things related to alchemy, knowledge related to "qi" energy, the laws of creation and evolution of all matter at the beginning of the universe, the origin and use of crustal energy and dragon vein energy, I only need these."
The "god" turned into the white silhouette of Shui Wang, and smiled exaggeratedly at Shui Wang.
"I retract my previous evaluation, you are the most arrogant human being."
