Chapter Seventy-Three: The World at the End
The gray-haired girl walked out of the cabin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Norney Nolan came to the deck of the Time, and she calmly looked at the four people still standing, her lips moving slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
The alchemy girl's body did not have the slightest dust and clutter, and the previous impact on the abyss crack and the forced landing on the stone island did not seem to have any effect on her, and the white alchemy robe was clean and tidy, without even the slightest wrinkle.
When the great nun saw Nolan, she exclaimed the other party's name, which was the nickname she was used to, but after saying it, Saya realized that the girl in front of her was very unfamiliar.
Not alone at all.
She has the impression that Nono is a weak and naïve, somewhat childish alchemist, she likes to be tidy, but she can't handle her own daily life, every time she does an experiment, she will have to hurry back to find it because she forgot to bring some tools or materials, she is afraid of the waves, afraid of the octopus, so that she never goes out of the cabin, likes to be tired of being by her side, and calls herself Sister Saya.
The Noorni Nolan in her impression was definitely not such a girl in front of her - dressed in a neat alchemist costume, her expression was indifferent and calm, her gray pupils revealed a wise light, and there was a hint of mocking sneer at the corner of her mouth.
…… The previous ones, all in disguise?
You don't need to think about it, you already know the result, Saya is still an elite priesthood in the end, although she is heartbroken because of her wrong judgment, but she has not lost her mind, the great nun covered her heart slightly, and continued to silently use the power of holy light to suppress the parasites in the brain part.
The Holy Light can get rid of all evils, purify negative energy, and in addition to healing wounds, it can resist even the power of chaos, which is funny to say, this almost omnipotent power is almost omnipotent, but it can't deal with the parasites in the body.
Because, parasites are also life.
Using force to forcibly force out the parasite, the three church members present are not impossible, but that will definitely cause great damage to themselves, and even hurt their brains, and the enemy will not let them do this.
Just like now.
"Go, my guard."
Norney Nolan didn't talk nonsense, she gave the order to the Void in a soft girlish voice: "Stun them. ”
A pillar of light flashed in front of her, and a huge three-meter-tall humanoid golem stepped out of it.
"Yes, my master."
The massive humanoid golem had four steel arms as thick as a human body, like the rumored giants of antiquity, and its body was wrapped in a black metal exoskeleton that was as deep as ink, as if it could absorb all light. The head of the puppet has a red observation bar, where the observation crystal that collects information is placed, and there is no gap in sight.
The limbs and torso of this huge golem were inlaid with translucent energy crystals, and many spells were stored on them, and now, this golem floated under the effect of the spells in it, and then rushed towards the nearest Saya.
In the process of charging, one of its steel arms turned into a long sword, this sword was extremely sharp, and the blade revealed a trace of blue arc light, which obviously contained poison, this puppet raised the long sword in his hand, and then aimed at the location of the great nun, and decisively slashed down.
The blow was full of momentum, without sparing the slightest hand, and the blue arc light flashed in the air, lingering for a long time - such a blow, there was no idea of 'stunning' at all, if Saya didn't dodge, she would definitely be cut in two.
But Saya still dodged, her footsteps lifted slightly, and the whole person disappeared in place, appearing hundreds of meters away, this is the Holy Light Teleportation, like the instant short-distance teleportation of mages, this kind of divine magic can make some priests and nuns who specialize in divine magic have the ability to reach the place where the light can shine in an instant.
But after using this god, Saya's face suddenly became more painful, because of the separation of strength to fight, she was completely unable to suppress the parasitic creature in her body, and her thinking ability instantly decreased a lot, and she was only one step away from being unconscious.
The giant puppet still wanted to pursue, but at this time, Robzek and Lolanda also shot at the same time, only to see the silver-haired paladin stretch out his hand and volley in the air, and a silver holy light slashed down on the puppet's head like a giant sword, and Lolanda burst out with all his strength in an instant, and rushed towards the Time where Nolan was.
Both of them have a lot of strengths restricted, and at this time, the Holy Light of Fighting Qi can only exert less than one-tenth at most, but even so, the attack is very powerful, and it is impossible to block it easily.
But obviously, Nolan and her puppet had no intention of confronting each other head-on, the giant puppet gave up chasing the great nun who was about to fall unconscious, and easily dodged Robzek's holy light sword, and the alchemy girl stepped back slightly, and three silver peaks instantly appeared on the alchemy robe on her body, and even the golden primary spell.
【Human Immobilization】【Decree and Forbidden】【Wind Shield】
Two control spells and a shield spell instantly made Lolanda's movements slightly stagnant while ensuring his own safety, and then, countless strange small alchemy sigils popped out of Nolan's arms, which is a magic scroll-like but more expensive magic creation, which can store a user's current energy level of magic that can be used and can be reused.
More than a dozen alchemy runes were thrown, and then triggered by the alchemy girl's spiritual power at the same time, and in an instant, the place where the blonde paladin was located was occupied by thunder, flames, and wind, and the terrifying magic elements boiled, bombarding Lolanda's body, making the surrounding sea of blood ripple.
If it was a normal state, the paladin was not afraid of this level of combo at all, whether it was dodging or hard eating, he would have enough strength to achieve it, but now, although Lolanda used the holy light and resisted all the attacks, he was also panting and standing in place, with cold sweat on his head.
The parasite lost the power of the Holy Light, and its movements became more and more frequent, and the paladin felt that he could no longer support it.
On the side, Robzek smashed the giant puppet, countless steel gears and magical energy structures flew everywhere, and he was submerged in the sea of blood, although he looked very uncomfortable, but he was in much better condition than Saya and Loranda.
But Nolan only said the third sentence.
"Two, three, you go up together."
Accompanied by two pillars of light, two equally huge alchemy puppets appeared on the girl's side, and they were silent, rushing towards the Extreme Will-level paladin and tangling with it.
These alchemy puppets all have the strength of the middle and high level of gold, they are loaded with a variety of small magic cannons and magic soldier suits, and the combat AI is also very powerful, enough to fight with Robzek, and if the situation is not right, they will quickly retreat, and use powerful spells such as [Flame Spray] [Aurora Ray] to attack the paladin from a distance.
But even so, they have no way to take Robzek, the paladin of the extreme level has a gloomy face, he fights steadily, takes the time to counterattack, in just a few tens of seconds, these two powerful alchemy puppets are already scarred, and there are many depressions on their bodies caused by the bombardment of the giant hammer.
But the result has not changed.
With a muffled snort, Robzek's head jumped, and the movements in his hands suddenly stopped, and taking advantage of this opportunity, two huge alchemy puppets rushed forward and stunned them neatly.
The only thing left was Joshua, who rushed to the front, the farthest away from Nolan.
The warrior walked slowly back to the Time, calmly watching as the trio of the Church were stunned by Nolan one by one and sent to the deck of the ark to be settled, without any reaction.
It wasn't until the alchemy girl was done with all this that he asked, "Why don't you attack me?" ”
Joshua wasn't upset by the current scene, he just asked with a little interest, "And why don't you kill Saya and them?" ”
At this moment, a huge floating island fell above the Red Moon, engulfing it in a sea of blood, and a moment later, the fourteenth massive Chaos Rune leaped out of it and was projected into the world of Mycrof.
"Because 'Earth II.' they together may not solve you."
After finishing the business at hand, Noorni Nolan slowly turned her head and said in a calm tone: "As for the leader of the Robzek group, I have already collected enough data and made various plans to defeat them who are parasitized, and I have enough confidence." ”
"And you, it was an accident."
'Earth II.' puppet.
Hearing the familiar words, Joshua couldn't help but show a faint smile.
Seeing the warrior's smile, Nolan shook her head, she was very cautious in the face of the unplanned warrior, even though Joshua was still a long distance away from her, the alchemy girl still let the two giant puppets stop in front of her, forming a steel barrier.
"I know that you still have the strength to fight now, just like Captain Robzek, the brain-eating worm converted from the abyss token cannot affect your basic combat power for the time being."
Nolan's voice came from behind the puppet: "But this kind of combat power is maintained for a very short time, I don't need to defeat you, I just need to drag it out until the time is up, and you will faint by yourself...... As for why not kill them, because it's not necessary yet, neither you nor them will be useful for the plan. ”
"Can you tell us why you betrayed us?"
Joshua's tone was very calm, he didn't seem to be angry about this kind of thing, his gaze was very calm, without the slightest wave.
"No, there is no betrayal." Nolan also seemed willing to stall for time, the girl took a breath, and then said in a slightly mocking tone: "Mr. Joshua, from the beginning, you who don't know the truth of this world are not all the way with me. ”
"The world has long since been destroyed."
Without waiting for the warrior to ask what the truth was, she raised her head and looked at the shattered abyssal plane—this world had nothing but a blood moon and scattered stone islands, only a chaotic endless void.
Lowering his eyes, his eyelashes flickering slightly, Nolan said calmly to Joshua: "The Microf Continent is a world that has been destroyed a long time ago, just like this 'Blood Moon' plane. ”
Seeing Joshua's surprised spirit, the girl showed a cold smile without a smile, and she sighed softly: "In ancient times, at the end of the Glorious Era, the world was destroyed by an unprecedented apocalyptic catastrophe, many gods died, and the continent that originally occupied one-fifth of the world collapsed into seven pieces, three of which sank to the bottom of the sea, which is now the Far South Far Sea, the Far North Blank Sea, and the East Ishai Abyss...... Of course, the world did not collapse and returned to nothingness, and a powerful man who surpassed the gods used his great power to forcibly stabilize the remaining four continents, and fused them with a part of the 'Havoc' to form the current Mycrof Continent. ”
"'He' sealed the abyss and rekindled the initial fire to keep this world alive for a thousand years, but now, the firewood is about to burn out, and everything is nearing the end."
"My blood."
Speaking of this, Norney Nolan pointed at herself, and she didn't care whether Joshua saw it or not, so she poured out to herself: "From the Glorious Age, the Sage incarnation of Mother Earth God. ”
"From the beginning of my family's birth, I can hear the wailing of the continent beneath my feet, and I can hear the voice of this world—it has long since been broken, it has long since died, but it has survived and maintained its existence because of that great being."
"I get that."
The girl was talking happily, but Joshua spoke up and interrupted her, "But what does this have to do with your cooperation with the demon dragon who has taken refuge in the Chaos Evil God?" ”
Nolan wasn't angry, she was originally just to delay time, waiting for the warrior to resist the parasitic creatures in her body, and by the way, she could also vent her desire to talk, so in response to Joshua's inquiry, she shook her head slightly, and replied directly: "Just take what you need, Mandagar held a ceremony this time to connect this broken abyss world with Microf, this is the request of the evil god, it can send its own power into the continent along this fragile abyss, and the power of the abyss, It can also be used to connect with the world of McCrove. ”
"Mandagar can get the power of advanced legends from it, the five-colored dragons can get the strongest support from the abyss lords who cooperate with them, and at the worst of all, if the dragon disaster fails, they can also escape from here."
Nolan said in a slightly boring tone: "And I'm just for the remnants of Mother Earth's wishes. ”
"Oh?" Joshua raised his eyebrows, his face curious, but he didn't ask, as if he didn't have any extra strength.
Seeing that Joshua had begun to tire under the erosion of parasites, Nolan couldn't help but relax a lot, the strength and combat strength of the warrior made her secretly frightened, this was an existence that was completely beyond her plan, fortunately he seemed to be defenseless against acquaintances, so he drank tea with parasitic protoplasms in his daily diet.
Yes, but even so, the girl didn't dare to let the puppet on her side move, she even hid a little tighter, and only answered the warrior's doubts in her voice: "Mr. Joshua, you are ostensibly a nobleman of the Northlands, but in fact the Chaos Keeper used by the Northern Empire to suppress the Sealed Lands, you should know that this world needs to rely on the chaotic power overflowing from these Sealed Lands in order to maintain the burning of the Initial Fire and ensure the stability of existence—this is the proof that the world has been destroyed, but there is a great being who intervenes and forcibly maintains it." ”
"If chaos is the beginning of the creation of the world, the nothingness that does not exist, then chaos is the end of the world, the end of all things after the destruction of everything."
Nolan said softly, as if he was sighing: "The abyss is the embodiment of chaos, it is the gathering of countless worlds like the Mycrof continent, which have extinguished the fire, but have not died for the time being, those demons are the race that has lost the fire, they are burned ashes, and they can no longer be ignited, so it is because of this that they are thirsty for the light of fire and invade those worlds where the initial fire is still burning." ”
"Mr. Joshua, the earth under our feet, the world that carries and nurtures us, wants to merge with the abyss, after all, the Microf continent is a world that has long since died out, relying on the burning void chaos to maintain the flames...... But with the sealed place where you Chaos Keepers are stationed, it is completely insufficient, and when the firewood left by that being burns out and we do not melt into the abyss, the world will quickly collapse and return to nothingness. ”
At this time, the alchemy girl's tone became firm, and for the first time, she said to the warrior in such a sincere tone: "I don't expect the destruction of the world, nor do I like demon invasions, we just want to make this world last longer, even if it's ......"
"Even if it turns into ashes in your mouth and becomes a demon, you will not hesitate."
Joshua replied lightly, "Right? Nono, what do you think? You want us to join you, so you don't kill Saya and the others for the time being. ”
The warrior raised his eyes, his crimson heads seemed to be able to penetrate the puppet's block, and looked directly into the eyes of the gray-haired girl behind him, Joshua said to himself in a thoughtful tone: "That's the case, I see, the world of McCrove has long been destroyed, no wonder the plot will be played out like that, although Lolanda is a little stupid, but he doesn't look like a person who will open the door to the abyss." ”
"Now it seems that it is indeed the power left by the sages that keeps the entire world burning, which has allowed the Microf Continent to maintain ...... for thousands of years"
"You know the 'sage'?" After the puppet, Nolan's startled voice came, the gray-haired girl had been hiding from Joshua in the cabin, and she didn't know the information about the empire, so she didn't know that the warrior had the Azure Orb and was one of the inheritors of the sage, but then, she shook her head and said: "No, it's not the power of the Lord to maintain this world, order is a cycle, it is endless, endless, the incomplete world does not have this perfect cycle, it must burn chaos to ignite the flame." ”
"The power that sustains the survival of this world comes from one of the 'cataclysms', an evil god."
"Evil gods?" Joshua repeated suspiciously.
"yes, don't you know?"
Knowing the sages, but not knowing this simple information, Nolan's tone couldn't help but reveal a hint of strangeness: "It is everywhere, coexisting with our civilization in this new era for thousands of years, bringing us pain and countless wealth. ”
After a long silence, Joshua narrowed his eyes: "Black Forest." ”
"Yes." Nolan nodded and confirmed, "To be precise, it's the evil god [Abundance]. ”
"As one of the strongest evil gods in the multiverse, he was killed by the sages in the catastrophe a thousand years ago, and his body merged with the remains of the Mother Earth Goddess to fuse the four remaining continents, which is also the reason why our world still exists."
After explaining this, the gray-haired girl paused for a moment, and then, in a tentative tone, she asked the warrior, "Mr. Joshua, what do you think of my opinion?" ”
Undoubtedly, it is said that the idea of joining them and letting the Microf continent melt into the abyss for a longer period of time.
After a moment of silence, Joshua couldn't help but laugh.
He asked, "How many people think the same way as you?" ”
Nolan was silent and did not answer the question.
"I see." The warrior didn't care, he nodded slightly, "I understand...... If you think this way, it's no wonder that Saya, who can see through people's emotions, can't detect your betrayal, because you think you're righteous, and the great nun can't see through people's hearts, so she can't detect your true colors. ”
"You've given up, so you're going to make compromises and let the world melt into the abyss."
Speaking of this, Joshua's voice gradually became louder, like thunder, echoing over the sea of blood: "But I don't plan to give up. ”
On the warrior's chest, a little cyan light appeared, which was the power of the Azure Orb, the pulse of the power of order.
"Norney Nolan, a genius alchemist."
The warrior said softly, "My former comrade-in-arms. ”
"I believe in you."
"Although I was indeed betrayed in my previous life, I still don't want to believe that my partner would stab me in the back."
The power of the Azure Orb flowed through the warrior's body in an instant, expelling all the nerve speed and paralyzing toxins, and it replaced the warrior's fighting spirit and suppressed the parasite in Joshua's brain, but at the same time, a strong pain sensation also came, stimulating the warrior's nerves.
But Joshua didn't care, he raised his left hand, and then in Nolan's shocked eyes, he aimed at his head and thrust it hard.
Five fingers easily clawed part of the skull, and the warrior's eyes were devoid of emotion, pain, anger, or excitement, and he said calmly as he stirred his left hand stained with blood and translucent fluid in his skull, "I gave you a chance, my friend, you lost it." ”
After finishing speaking, he pulled out a finger-thick, ten-centimeter-long silver-white worm from his cranial cavity, and pinched it without the slightest hesitation, Joshua took a deep breath, and the fighting energy on his body began to burn.
The ultimate intention is to use the human body, beyond the limits of human beings, to reach the inconceivable realm.
The extreme intention of force, forged steel for the body, cast iron for the heart, and a mere brain damage - what is it?!
A terrifying coercion far beyond the average intent began to spread, and black-red flames of light surrounded the warrior's side, like a thick fire dragon.
In just such an instant, the blazing foehn wind overflowed, and the sea of blood with a radius of hundreds of meters was completely burned into nothingness in an instant, even the steam could not remain, and the terrifying shock wave began to spread towards the surroundings, and all the sea of blood in the field of vision rippled, and the calm crimson sea surface set off huge waves and roared.
"This ......"
Nolan, who couldn't imagine this scene at all, began to weaken her hands and feet, and in front of Joshua, who released her full strength, she felt an infinitely huge shadow begin to spread, filling her vision.
Turning her head, she wanted to find the bodies of Saya and the others as hostages, but what the girl saw was a silver steel puppet.
The Steel-Elemental Primal had just silently thrown Robzek's body into the cabin, and although it couldn't move the two dragons, Nolan couldn't use the two dragons with thick scalps and couldn't kill them for a while.
"They're all fainting, which is actually a good thing."
Joshua's voice came from behind her, the warrior was like lava about to erupt at this time, suppressed to the limit, but it would explode at any time, the red fighting qi mixed with the black killing intent fluctuations, condensed behind him into a burning blurred image, it seemed to be the eyes of a giant god, and the red golden pupils revealed pure killing intent and war desire.
"Otherwise, if they see my divinity, they may get into a little trouble."
The next moment, the sea of blood was churning.
