When the attack happened, Ye Zi was telling Javier the story of Yang Guo and her aunt. Suddenly, Mei, who was pretending to be asleep, opened her golden eyes and shouted, "There's an assassin!"
At this time, the roar of horses and the shouts of the coachman were heard outside, followed by a few light explosions. Mei remained calm in the face of danger and said to Ye Zi, "Come here."
Ye Zi pulled Javier to sit next to her. She moved her lips slightly, and a small barrier rose around them. The barrier was like a layer of light milky white light. Ye Zi had never seen Mei take action, but now she found out that she was a magician.
Green smoke poured into the carriage from between the gauze curtains, but was blocked outside the white barrier and could not advance an inch.
"Sneaky guy." Mei said disdainfully. A 30-centimeter-long dagger appeared in her hand. "Javier, use those little props you have to protect yourself later."
"Yeah." Javier pursed his lips tightly and looked a little scared, but his eyes showed more excitement, as if he had great confidence in Mei.
"Xiao Ye, there are five assassins outside. I will deal with them. You take care of yourself and Javier."
"I will protect him. But you alone..."
"Have you any weapons?"
"have."
"The poisonous fog will soon dissipate and they will come in." Mei did not prepare to cast a spell, but instead turned sideways with the sword in hand, ready to attack.
"Miss Mei, are you a magic swordsman?" Ye Zi asked.
"Of course not." Mei winked at Ye Zi, and a faint fighting spirit ignited in her body, "You should also be prepared."
Ye Zi concentrated on the tattoo on the back of his hand, and the tattoo suddenly turned into a pure white spear.
Mei's eyes narrowed and she said, "This gun..."
"Sister Mei, what's wrong with my bracelet?" As soon as Ye Zi's anti-shadow gun appeared, Javier's God of War bracelet broke away from his wrist and flew to the tail of the anti-shadow gun, and happened to be stuck in the U-shaped groove at the tail of the gun. In this way, the tail of the gun became a ring with a black gem at the bottom of the ring.
When it was in Javier's hand, the gem looked very dim, but now that it was integrated with the gun, countless stars were flashing in the gem.
"Hey, it looks like something big has happened." Mei said, looking at the gun.
Ye Zi looked a little panicked. She held the anti-shadow gun tightly with both hands, just like a driver holding the steering wheel of an out-of-control car: "My gun, my gun seems to have consciousness. She... she is about to release a skill. I can't control it, everyone, everyone be careful!"
The shadow gun seemed to respond to her words. The gem burst out with a black light. The three people in the carriage were illuminated by the light. Their bodies gradually faded and began to disappear from this world. The light swept across the entire carriage and then rushed out of the car, including Orva and his men who were slowly approaching.
The next moment, all the people standing disappeared, leaving only the empty carriage and the unconscious coachman.
——————————
Ye Zi found herself standing in a huge arena. There was a starry sky above, but no sun or moon. The arena was made of gray-white rocks and was at least as big as a football field. The arena was surrounded by layers of stone stands that surrounded the open space where she was, making it look particularly small. The style reminded her of the temple of the god of war. There was no obvious light source, but the rocks seemed to emit a faint light of their own, making the whole world very bright.
At the outermost end of the stands stood huge pillars, with statues standing on top of them. Most of these statues were wearing armor, holding weapons, and looking down at the center of the arena. Most of them had wings made up of many light strips spread out on their backs.
The entire arena was empty, with only eight bewildered participants standing on the field. Ye Zi, Mei, and Javier were on one side. Several other strangers holding swords were placed on the other side, with a wall of light separating the two sides. Ye Zi could see the fear and panic on the faces of the attackers. I'm afraid these attackers never thought that things would become so bizarre.
Ye Zi stepped on the ground, the rough ground was solid and real. She looked at the gun in her hand and it had not changed at all, every detail was clearly visible. She realized that this was not a dream, but that this gun brought everyone to a magical space.
"Here, where is this place? Why did my bracelet and Sister Ye Zi's gun become like this when they were put together?" Javier grabbed Mei's clothes.
But Mei was in a dazed state at this time. She looked up at the statues on the top of the pillar, her expression excited and a little sad.
“This is a place I have always imagined and longed for, but never been to.”
Javier didn't understand what May meant.
"That's me." Mei pointed to a man standing on top of the pillar. Javier discovered that it was a mighty man holding two swords. He had no similarities with Mei, except that the dagger in Mei's right hand was exactly the same as his weapon.
"But he's a man."
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I inherited his power. I am Mei."
"But why are we here? Did you bring us in?" Javier asked.
"You'll have to ask your sister Ye Zi."
Ye Zi felt the gazes of the two people, looked at his own Shadow Gun uncertainly and said, "That's why. Javier's God of War bracelet seems to have been a part of this gun. When they are combined together, they have the power to travel through space."
"It seems that Shadow Gun has awakened, but you haven't yet." Mei said.
"Me? Awakening?"
Mei pointed to the statue in the middle of the many statues. It was a heroic woman. She held a spear in her hand, stood tall, and stared forward. She looked exactly like Ye Zi now.
"She is you. But you are not her yet."
Mei walked up to Ye Zi, his expression suddenly became serious and solemn. He handed the dagger to his left hand and hammered his chest with his right fist: "Right hand of the God of War, fearless Valkyrie. The Battle Angel Metatron salutes you."
When she lowered her right hand, another dagger appeared silently in her right hand, just like the man on the pillar.
Ye Zi felt the deep emotions contained in this series of actions at that moment, as if a magic weapon that had been buried for thousands of years had reappeared from the ancient underground cave. However, after completing the etiquette, Mei relaxed again, "Little Ye, the gift just now is for the invincible leader."
"I know she is not me, and I will never become her. I know my past very well, and it has nothing to do with her. And my future is my own." Ye Zi said firmly, "This gun chose me, but it doesn't represent who I am. Maybe it just found a master who looks similar to me."
Mei shook her head and said, "What I'm talking about is inheritance. The choice of inheritance is never a simple matter. Although we, the War Angels, are human beings, we have a trace of the divinity of the God of War, which gives us a long life. But even so, before me, in the long years since I left the God Realm, there have been 23 ancestors who have inherited the name of Metatron. Each of them had their own reasons for being chosen by the artifact. But these reasons are definitely sufficient."
"Oh, it's so tiring to talk to you about this." Ye Zi sighed.
"The inheritor can fall, but Metatron is immortal. Now it is my turn to inherit Metatron's God of War Armor, and also his name and power. I think the same is true for you."
