Westland, scavenger city.
When the sun rose again, a figure flashed into the Desert Lizard Repair Shop. The shop had just opened its doors for business, and only the owner was there. Seeing the figure, the owner did not greet or drive him away, as if the other person was just air, and he ignored the person and let him go into the small room at the back.
This is a middle-aged man with rough skin and some sun spots on his face. He wears a round-brimmed hat, which is very common in the scavenger city and can slightly block the scorching sun.
He was wearing leather armor and light-colored trousers, with a belt with many pouches and a holster containing an old-model Xingsu pistol that could be exhibited in a museum.
At first glance, this man looked nothing special, almost like a wanderer that could be found everywhere in the scavenger city. After he entered the hut, he skillfully took out several parts from some drawers, and after assembling them together, it became a small communication projector.
The man placed a signal transmitter by the window, then entered a specific code into the projector. After a moment, the projector emitted several rays of light, outlining the figure of a lady.
This lady is not old, but she still maintains a good figure, especially her skin, which looks to be around 30 years old.
She was wearing a plain white dress and a black hat on her head, with the black veil hanging down from the hat obscuring her face.
The middle-aged man in front of the projector took a step back and bowed slightly: "Good morning, ma'am."
"So, Mihawk, is that bastard who killed my son hiding in Scavenger City?"
Hearing the lady's gnashing voice, the man called Mihawk said expressionlessly, "Yes, ma'am."
"He is a member of the Thunder Council and has just joined the council. However, he seems to have left the Waste Scavenger City. Only his family and followers remain in the Waste Scavenger City."
"family?"
In the projection, the lady seemed to be quite interested in the word "family".
"Yes."
"He seems to have a daughter, who should be only one or two years old, and is being taken care of by a girl."
Mihawk replied.
The lady took off her hat, revealing a heavily made-up face. "Kill his daughter, Mihawk! I want him to experience the pain of losing a loved one firsthand!"
Mihawk's two thick brown eyebrows twisted together: "Madam, before you just said to find out the other party's information, not to mention, Mr. Victor..."
"Don't tell me about that coward!"
The lady gnashed her teeth and said, "I really regret marrying that coward who didn't even dare to avenge his own child!"
Then, she said softly, "I should have married you, Mihawk. With your ability, you shouldn't have had to serve Elhoin. You stayed in Elhoin for me."
"So, kill his daughter for me, Mihawk. If you help me avenge this, I will leave Elhoin and I will go with you. I can no longer bear to stay next to a coward."
"Yes, Mihawk, just like we agreed last time in bed, I will follow you wherever you go."
Mihawk's chest rose and fell, and his voice trembled slightly: "Are you serious? Anna, are you willing to change your mind?"
"Yes, I changed my mind. Through this incident, I realized how bad my choice was back then. It gives me a chance to make it up to you, Mihawk."
Anna, Victor's wife, holds her hands in
He said on his chest, "And you don't need to worry about the retaliation of the Thunder Council. After you succeed, you can go find the 'Justice'. The man named Wang Lingjun owes Elhoin a favor. I will ask him to escort you out of the Scavenger City in the name of Elhoin."
Mihawk nodded vigorously: "As long as you are willing to leave Victor, let alone kill one person, even if you kill ten or a hundred, I am willing to do it!"
"Anna, wait for me."
Communication ended.
Mihawk rubbed his face and after calming down, he began to think about how to kill the child of a member of the Thunder Council in the territory of the Thunder Council. This was not an easy task.
Absolutely not!
... ...
The world of opposites has never been so bright.
During the battle between Su Lie and Shamen, the remaining fire was everywhere, the flames flickered and burned tenaciously.
The clumps of weeds and the strange trees were all burning fiercely. They illuminated the world of adversity and also illuminated the direction for Tianyang to move forward.
Tianyang sped at full speed, passing across the desolate land like the wind, following the flaming trails, chasing in the direction his father had left.
At this moment, he didn't think about anything and focused all his attention on his feet.
Put it on this road.
No matter how dark the night is, it will end eventually. No matter how long the road is, it will have an end eventually. When Tian Yang passed through a town that was severely damaged, he suddenly saw a gray building vaguely in the distance on the dark horizon.
As he got closer, he found that the gray buildings were like mirages in the desert, and seemed somewhat unreal.
Moreover, after staring at the gray buildings for a long time, he actually felt his mind was attracted. Those magnificent buildings gave him a sense of emptiness.
He had seen this feeling in his father before.
"Chaos..."
"That was constructed by Dad using Chaos?"
Tianyang frowned slightly: "What is this virtual image? It feels very much like weather. Could it be some kind of weather?"
"Can the weather be formed by using forces of other natures?"
Tianyang was puzzled and could only quicken his pace, turning into a series of afterimages, passing across the earth and rushing towards the gray buildings in the distance.
... ...
"Nature... "
"No, it's too crude. You can only use it simply. You don't even know how it works."
"It's just close to the 'essence', but... why does it feel so pure?"
In the magnificent and miraculous capital of the Kingdom of Yan, only the area where Shamon was located had the earth still maintained its original color and had not been stained by gray.
The centaur monster seemed very violent, and its six legs kept digging the ground. The monk looked up at Su Lie on the illusory tower in the distance, and his voice sounded like thunder.
"Even if it is still the 'essence', how dare you!"
The war priest pointed his black flaming finger at Su Lie and growled, "How dare you, a mere human, transcend your realm and try to touch the realm of the gods!"
“This is blasphemy!”
"This is disrespectful!"
"Those who blaspheme God must be killed!"
As the monk roared, the earth began to shake, and thicker and taller black pillars rose up, supporting a magnificent palace that could compete with the "Chen Kingdom".
A war built of piles of bones
The Temple of War reappeared, and its appearance made some of the illusory gray buildings in the "Kingdom" disappear like bubbles, and the earth in the area where the temple was located returned to its original color.
Immediately, Su Lie's "Cheng State" was reduced to only half its size.
"As expected, no matter how close you are to the 'essence', it is still not the real 'essence'. A reptile is just a reptile after all. Don't even think about climbing up to the position of God and sitting on the throne!"
The monk laughed, and a black flame arm reached out towards Su Lie. Suddenly, the Bone Temple began to shake. Countless skulls of different races flew up, and they combined into a huge bone arm in mid-air, grabbing Su Lie fiercely.
Wherever the bone arm passed, it brought up patches of black iron flames, which blended with the gray buildings. The gray buildings disappeared one by one, and the black iron flames that represented the essence of war also weakened, twisting from time to time, and occasionally irregular blanks appeared, like a picture erased by an eraser.
The white bone arm seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact it quickly passed through the sky above the Kingdom of Qin and shot it down from top to bottom, as if it wanted to break Su Lie and this gray capital apart!
However, just as the arm fell, starting from the fingertips, the skulls that made up the arm seemed to have entered another dimension. Without any warning, they were wiped out in large pieces just like the flame men that had disappeared out of thin air before.
Their existence has been distorted, removed.
The part of the Kingdom of Xuan that is closest to its essence, the closer it is to Su Lie, the richer it is!
The skeletal arm was finally photographed, but the front half was erased by Yan Guo and disappeared into the air.
Shamen snorted, and his two black flame arms spread out to the left and right. Only half of the white bone arm was left, which suddenly exploded. The skulls spewed out black iron flames and smashed towards Su Lie like fireballs.
Thousands of fireballs, like falling stars, whistled down, but they were like a drop in the ocean. Before they could hit Su Lie, they disappeared in mid-air, as if they had never appeared.
In the blink of an eye, all the skulls of the monks disappeared into the air without a single one left. But at this time, Su Lie on the illusory tower frowned and groaned.
He felt something being torn away, being taken away.
At the same time, in the Temple of Bones, Shamen clenched his arms, spread out his palm, and a ball of dark gray energy glow floated in his palm.
"How could it be..." Su Lie naturally recognized that it was his 'Chaos', but he didn't know how Shamen had taken away his power.
“This is your power.”
"Damn, a mere reptile actually possesses a power infinitely close to the 'origin'..."
The facial features of Yuan Shu were distorted. The monk looked at Su Lie and laughed from his deformed mouth: "You seem confused. I should have said that the essence of war includes aggression."
"Although your strange power can wipe out my attacks and even some of my 'essence', as long as the frequency of your attacks is high enough and the number is large enough, there will always be one or two times that it will succeed."
"Successfully 'invaded' your power. So, what is the purpose of the 'invasion'?"
Without waiting for Su Lie to respond, Shamen laughed crazily and said, "It's for the sake of 'harvesting'. Isn't the so-called war just for the sake of plundering the opponent's resources?"
"My essence is the same. Once I successfully invade, I can plunder the opponent's strength, ability, and even... the opponent's 'essence'."
