Struggle is a biological instinct, and it is only through struggle that life can be continued.

Even in the midst of extreme despair, life will still try its best to find a way out in order to survive.

It was beautiful, but it was also ugly.

Of course, just as not everything you give will always be rewarded, every time life fights against death, it is not always possible to slip through the cracks in the palm of death, and the lucky ones are only a very few, and not every time they can maintain good luck.

The competition for survival is still like this, not to mention the confrontation with brutal natural disasters, not to mention the life-and-death duel with the Divine Will Agent.

As far as the eye can see, the sky is full of strange lights, as if the gods have descended, the Holy Spirit has been mighty, or the gods have created the world.

It was a miracle without a doubt. It's just that the god is a cruel and arrogant god who doesn't know what mercy is—the god of death. Therefore, the only miracles it manifests are hell.

The sky at this moment is a literal hell.

In the past world wars, the fierce aerial battlefield was described as "three points of sky and seven points of blood", "hell made of condensation of madness", "graveyard of aces", and "sky inhabited by demons". But those hells with horrifyingly high mortality rates can only be overshadowed in front of the Rhine front at this moment, and just by approaching here, life will be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind, let alone set foot in it.

The only way to survive in that hell is to rely on miracles, or miraculous powers.

"Huh-"

Father Likert narrowly avoided the beam of light that was shooting from the ground, and before he could catch his breath, his body immediately sank, and a rainbow of light swept above his head.

This alone scared Likert out in a cold sweat.

The high-power particle cannon can be terrifying, it doesn't need to be hit directly, and the trajectory is enough to dissolve and tear the steel apart. But compared to that rainbow light, it's nothing. The Holy Spirit Cloth that can resist the particle beam will disappear without a trace when it is brushed by that force, and the rainbow light flashes, the mountain clouds disappear in an instant, and the human body evaporates without a trace, and the continuous shooting causes the atmospheric flow disorder, setting off an F5 tornado with a speed of 480 kilometers per hour on the ground, and it looks like a huge hand stretching out in the sky to stir the earth. Personnel and equipment that could not be evaded were sucked into the air and torn to shreds in the blink of an eye.

If it weren't for the fact that the power was too strong, hitting the ground would cause great disasters, and the angle of the rainbow light would be limited to the parallel range between the air and the ground, and the ground would have turned into hell long ago. However, what the rainbow could not do, the cunning crystals could do, and the crystals continued to slide into the dead corners below, forcing the target into the rainbow's kill circle with staggered lines of fire.

Just like the hunters of ancient times, who hunted behemoths, drove them off cliffs with numbers, roars, and stone spears. Simple and effective tactics. If they hadn't reacted quickly enough, they would have been wiped out long ago.

It was indeed a fortunate thing to be able to dodge such dense firepower, but Roland and Likert and the others were not happy at all.

From the beginning of the battle, Roland and the others have been in a passive defensive state, and the battle has been fought until now, not to mention getting close to Li Lin, but they have been gradually forced to retreat. The combat area was expanding almost every minute, and at this rate, it would take at most another two minutes to enroll in the giant array of Pressing Box Treasure. At that time, Li Lin's victory will be completely unshakable.

It's not that they didn't want to play a game, so they saw the gap and closed the distance in one go, and used close combat to entangle Li Lin. But in the face of the ferocious firepower that the mountains and tsunamis are not enough to describe, it is difficult to maintain the existing combat distance on the basis of ensuring that they are alive. To break through the storm of energy and rush into the eye of that storm in one breath to fight Li Lin in close combat? That kind of scene probably only exists in fantasies and dreams.

In fact, it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the current rate of expansion of the range of engagement without the entire front collapsing in one fell swoop.

Continuous maneuvers with large overloads not only cause great load on the body, but also quickly accumulate fatigue. Relying on the power of miracles can restore physical strength, and the damaged body can also recover quickly. But no matter how strong the repair ability is, once it can't keep up with the speed of damage, it will be pulled away little by little, and eventually it will be completely dragged down. What's more, even the power of miracles can't do anything about the fatigue of the mental level, after all, the use of the power of miracles itself will continue to wear down the spirit, coupled with the continuous high-intensity fighting, there is no respite at all, and they are getting closer to the cliff of collapse little by little.

"You look tired. ”

A voice so intimate that it sends chills down your spine cuts into the communication.

Breaking through layers of protection and cutting into the communication network, Li Lin said in a relaxed and playful tone like entering a playground:

"I'm a little tired here, well, it's about halfway through the warm-up. ”

Sister Francesca flattened a FAU with a fist, turned around and gestured her middle finger at Li Lin in the sky.

"Since you're so lucky, wouldn't it be nice if you died soon?!!"

"Oh, a nun's foul language will make her charm point drop. Moreover, that line is also what I want to say. ”

With a snap of his fingers, the rainbow light poured with high-dimensional energy erupted like a torrential rain.

"If you can accept the arrangement of fate, then under the established framework, you will have no problem playing however you want. But now that you've crossed the taboo barrier, I can only start the process. ”

The rain of rainbow light swept across the sky, and the "third impact" in the high-speed burst shotgun mode was far inferior to the normal mode in terms of accuracy and power per shot, but the countless rain of light would increase the probability of hitting, and it would also make the defender's calculation and processing information skyrocket, forcing the opponent into a defeat with a collapse of consciousness faster.

“——！！！”

The intense pain tore at Likert's brain, and his slightly open mouth let out a silent scream.

A shotgun grazed Likert's left arm, and a colorful light began to shine below the elbow, and before he had time to think about it, Likert immediately cut off the entire left arm with a long sword. The severed arm gushing out of blood only had time to roll in the air for a moment, and then burst out with colorful light and disappeared without a trace.

If he hadn't made a quick decision and cut off his left arm, I am afraid that the phenomenon of material collapse would spread all the way throughout the body.

"Restoration!"

Gritting his teeth and swallowing the rust that came to his mouth, the priesthood robe burst into a dazzling light, the wound swelled like boiling water, and the severed left arm, the vanished sleeve—all healed as if he had gone back in time.

What an absurd scene.

Compared to Li Lin and his subordinates, who were scolded as "monsters", Iscario may be more like a monster when he used the power of miracles to collect surrounding materials to reassemble his arms and priesthood robes.

"Even the reorganization of matter has been realized? The research progress is quite in-depth. Having achieved this point, it is no wonder that we have the confidence to challenge God. But—"

The sight of Likert pressing his left eye came to mind, and mocking laughter spread.

"The price doesn't seem to be cheap either. ”

When Likert's hand was lowered, there were no eyeballs in his eye sockets.

From the eye socket to the tip of the eye, it hardens abnormally and becomes something suspicious of obsidian.

"There is an anecdote about miracles in the holy scriptures: The woman who witnessed the damnation of heaven was instantly turned into a pillar of salt (the story of Lot in the Old Testament). Recorded in Genesis chapters 11–14 and 19). It is only natural that those who wantonly seize false miracles will be exposed to the damnation of God. ”

One of the biggest problems that the church encounters in the study of miracles is how to mitigate the cost of miracles.

Anecdotes of heroes and saints have always been circulating, and the basis for miracles has long existed, and the development of related techniques can be described as smooth sailing, but as soon as they enter the stage of miracle trial operation, only one miracle will turn the user into a pillar of salt. In the long years that followed, most of the research directions revolved around how to delay the erosion of miracle side effects, and it was only recently that it could basically meet the needs of actual combat. Not only has the combat time been greatly extended, but the output of miracles has also been relatively stable.

But if you reach out to the power of miracles, you will definitely pay the price. No matter how much you slow down the speed, it will still be eroded by miracles. Not to mention that in this kind of high-intensity battle, the miracle high output has been maintained, and the degree of erosion will also increase rapidly.

This question is clear to the church, and so is Li Lin.

So he deliberately did not increase his firepower in one breath and annihilate his opponent with indiscriminate covered firepower. On the one hand, it is of course to avoid meaningless destruction and thoroughly implement the pre-arranged script, and on the other hand, it is also because of the mastery of this hole card.

Sabotage, restoration, destruction, restoration – this is by no means a war of attrition with no end in sight. Each reorganization comes at a cost, and the continued accumulation of fatigue and erosion invites more attacks, which necessitates more reorganization...... At the end of this vicious circle, there are only two endings.

"Turn into a pillar of salt, or just disappear?" ”

With a snap of his fingers, the explosion occurred again, and Francesca lost a part of his body.

But this time, the power of destruction came from the feet unexpectedly, and the hand knife barely managed to cut off the legs that had been grazed by the rainbow before the Honkai spread, and before the legs were reassembled again, the left and right sides flashed rainbow light.

- How is that possible.

While reorganizing his body, he desperately dodged, but in the face of a shotgun attack that erupted at close range, it was impossible to completely dodge. The legs of his right arm, which had not yet been reassembled, were hit on the spot, and the knife slashed through his limbs again, and the heart-rending pain repeatedly pierced Francesca's unbelievable brain marrow.

"'The rainbow's attack is limited to the hemisphere centered on Li Lin'? This kind of preconceived notion can kill people. ”

Both light weapons and morphological interference abilities travel in a straight line, deflecting when encountering strong magnetic fields or areas of high gravity, but never suddenly "appear out of thin air".

There is only one ability that allows matter and energy to instantly cross distances and attack from unexpected places.

The ability to open a spatial channel.

"It's game over, let's die with regret and regret. ”

The grim announcement fell, and the light exploded again.
