Wild man...
Although this name has an extremely obvious derogatory meaning, it also has a very strong sense of taboo, because this word is usually always associated with words like elopement, secret meeting, and affair.
When these words quickly passed through Huo Xianfeng's mind, his chest suddenly felt slightly hot. However, this strange feeling only lasted for a few seconds and was quickly suppressed by him.
At this time, Huo Xianfeng's gaze fell on Bai Ze's back in front of him.
Although he had guessed Jiang Ci's identity a long time ago, when he saw the other party driving this double S mecha in front of him, he still had a somewhat strange feeling.
After all, more than a month ago, the other party looked like he would not stop until he was killed, but now, this beautiful and fierce omega can hold a spear and help him beat his immediate boss.
Tsk!
The young man lamented the impermanence of the world, but it was undeniable that he was in a good mood.
Jiang Ci's attention was focused on General Wan in front of him at the moment. He didn't notice Huo Xianfeng's messy thoughts behind him.
"Listen carefully! I'm not pregnant! It's just that due to some kind of drug, my pheromones are very similar to those of a pregnant omega!"
This straightforward explanation made the silver-haired major general grit his teeth.
"As for the wild man and all the messy things you're worried about, that's nonsense!"
"… "
Jiang Ci knew Zhou Jiuya too well. Ever since the day his father Jiang Jinsheng passed away, he had been very protective of him. In addition, as Jiang Jinsheng's only son, Jiang Ci's childhood was not very smooth and safe.
Therefore, whenever something bad happened, his uncle would always think of the worst.
This is also the reason why Jiang Ci hesitated about how to explain it just now.
He took a deep breath, and although his tone was calm, it was sharp like a blade.
"We ended our legal guardianship fourteen years ago, Commander."
Jiang Ci said in a cool voice,
"As a purely superior-subordinate relationship, my personal emotional life should not fall within your jurisdiction."
"… "
Sassy—
The whistling smoke suddenly blew past, and at this moment, the three top-level mechas fell silent at the same time.
Termination of guardianship
Huo Xianfeng grasped the key words. He had just felt that Zhou Jiuya and Jiang Ci were not like an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. When the former discovered that Jiang Ci had alpha pheromones, Zhou Jiuya's reaction was just like that of a pedantic and feudal old father.
However, according to the current imperial laws, it is extremely difficult to become the guardian of an omega child, so no one is willing to give up custody easily after going through so much trouble to obtain it.
So something big must have happened in the meantime.
Jiang Ci's words were like a bucket of ice water poured over one's head in winter, which instantly extinguished the anger that had burned out all reason in the legion commander's head.
The attack power was a hundred times stronger than the previous shot, or the fact that Jiang Ci stood against him for a strange alpha.
Zhou Jiuya stood still for a moment, and his rationality, which had just been destroyed by excessive tension and anger, finally returned. General Wan raised his hand and put the giant sword back on his back, no longer looking murderous.
He took a deep breath.
"… You shouldn't be here without permission."
The topic was broached in a very awkward manner, but it was also a subtle signal of easing the tension a little bit.
Jiang Ci also put away his silver spear.
"After I return, I will accept the punishment according to military regulations."
"… "
Although Zhou Jiuya wanted to ask a question about alpha pheromones just now, he seemed unable to say it at the moment, and now was not a good time.
—Because he received a battle report from his subordinates.
"Commander, it looks like the church is preparing to withdraw its troops."
General Wan raised his head. That majestic mechanical face was no different from usual, but it made people feel solemn.
"Clear out the remaining soldiers. If they want to escape, there is no need to chase them."
Although the friction between the Empire and the Church has increased in recent years, now is obviously not a good time to break that layer of window paper.
Huo Xianfeng raised his head and squinted his eyes slightly. At this moment, the blood-red cannon light illuminated the night sky. Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely hear a faint sound similar to that of muffled thunder coming from the far sky.
The white warships and mecha squadrons representing the church were retreating step by step, turning into bright fireballs one after another, falling in an instant, like falling meteors, but before they hit the ground, they melted into the depths of darkness.
The huge white aircraft carrier was guarded at the rear and had retreated to outer space. Soft yet solid defense shields like water waves lit up on all sides, but even so, it could not conceal the church's decline.
Such an outcome was already destined after the explosion of the interstellar nuclear bomb just now.
After all, the trump cards they brought were shattered in the nuclear explosion before they could exert their due power. Since they were already at a disadvantage and there was no profit to be made, these guys would of course stop the loss in time.
"—three questions answered."
At this time, Ye Shu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.
"Should I return the things to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally harmonious atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
Zhou Jiuya's purpose of coming to Tiandong Star this time was to get the core of the Forbidden Abyss. Even if the superficial cooperation with the church was completely broken, he had to obey the emperor's order and take the things back.
As for Jiang Ci, on such official matters, he would undoubtedly stand with Zhou Jiuya.
Ye Shu had been hiding in the Forbidden Abyss for nearly three hundred years. Even though all his advantages were lost now, he certainly would not give it up just like that.
At this moment, only Huo Xianfeng's position was unclear. Apart from his name, everyone present knew almost nothing about him.
Unexpectedly, the boy agreed very readily.
"sure."
Huo Xianfeng lowered his eyes, and his sight inadvertently swept across the rugged and messy surface.
—There seems to be something down there.
But on the surface, he didn't show anything unusual, he just spread his hands.
"But Lord City Lord, you are now in the Legion Commander's mecha, how can I give it to you?"
"… "
This is indeed a problem, but Ye Shu has already considered it.
"Wait a moment."
He turned his head and looked at Zhou Jiuya, his dark green eyes seemed to be suppressing a terrifying cloud.
At this moment, General Wan's cockpit was extremely quiet, as if even the heartbeat could be heard clearly.
The next second—
The two men moved at the same time. Ye Shu rushed forward like lightning towards Wan Jiang's control panel, while Zhou Jiuya immediately pounced on Ye Shu. The latter's agile and burly figure looked like a tiger.
He roared fiercely,
"Ye Shu!!!"
boom!!!
A second before he touched the control panel, Ye Shu was grabbed by the shoulder by a big hand and slammed to the ground.
His forehead was broken and the blood covered half of his face.
Although they are both alphas, Ye Shu is only at level A. In addition, he was ambushed by Yulia, so his physical condition is very weak. Naturally, he cannot compare to Zhou Jiuya in speed.
but-
"Ah… "
Ye Shu panted softly and stifled a laugh,
"Zhou Jiuya, I won."
Realizing what the other party might have done, the legion commander's pupils suddenly dilated.
Knock!
There was an extremely subtle sound of metal collision.
Zhou Jiuya raised his head suddenly and looked in the direction where the voice came from.
—The virus chip in the city lord’s hand has been firmly inserted into the core of Wan Jiang.
"Warning! Unknown virus invasion detected!!!"
"Warning! Unknown virus invasion detected!!!"
"Warning... Sizzle..."
The screen in front of me suddenly went out, and then a dense stream of garbled characters flashed through it. Finally, the original blue screen was replaced by green.
"Confirm permissions reset."
The whole process is very quick, even less than five seconds.
Ye Shu suddenly shouted in a low voice—
"General Wan! Catch him!!!"
The next second, the spiritual chain connected to Zhou Jiuya's neck suddenly detached. Countless black mechanical tentacles stretched out from above and instantly tied the man up tightly.
"Give him a sedative, thirty times the dose, immediately!!!"
"Ye Shu, you...!"
The silver-haired legion commander's eyes were bloodshot.
"ha… "
Ye Shu struggled to get up from the ground and wiped the blood off his face.
"Sure enough, apart from Huo Chao, Jiang Jinsheng is the most pleasing guy."
As the creator of Wanjiang, only Jiang Jinsheng could make this kind of virus chip that could quickly replace permissions.
Speaking of which, Ye Shu also had to thank that guy Yulia. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been in such a weak state so naturally that Zhou Jiuya wouldn't be suspicious.
Otherwise, the city lord would have to find another opportunity to enter General Wan's cockpit, and even if he did, Zhou Jiuya would not let his guard down against him as he did just now.
"alright."
At this moment, Ye Shu's voice came from inside the Wanjiang.
"Just come here and give it to me."
Because at this time, Bai Ze and Jin Yuan were standing too close, Ye Shu needed to ask them to keep their distance.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ci frowned. He obviously couldn't understand why Zhou Jiuya didn't stop him. Huo Xianfeng had some vague guesses. In the past few minutes, something must have happened in General Wan's cockpit.
Huo Xianfeng was slightly amazed in his heart.
Being able to control Tiandong Star for so many years, this city lord is indeed no easy task.
The young man walked towards the general as he was told and handed the core over.
At this moment, something strange happened!!!
A huge dark green shadow suddenly broke out of the ground where the two men were standing, and its sharp forelimbs went straight towards the core of the forbidden abyss that the two men were about to hand over.
"What?!!!"
Ye Shu suddenly widened his eyes.
—It turned out to be Cruzi hiding underground!!!
The modified biological mecha perfectly inherited the Zerg's concealment function. It had been buried underground and even avoided the detection of the double S mecha.
Ye Shu's first reaction was to grab the core immediately, but he was suddenly slashed away by Kruzi.
Jiang Ci immediately rushed forward with a gun.
"Huo Xianfeng!!!"
But he was too far away and it was too late. Even if Ye Shu took control of the generals, he was too weak to fight immediately.
At this second, the forelimbs of the Zerg mecha almost touched the surface of the core, and Huo Xianfeng keenly saw that something had suddenly flowed into the core just now.
But fortunately, even though Cruzi touched the core at this time, most of the latter was still in Huo Xianfeng's hands.
The young man immediately clenched his five fingers, suddenly took back the core, and retreated more than ten meters to create a safe distance.
But instead of chasing him, Cruzi retreated at the same time, leaving a distance of 100 meters between him and Huo Xianfeng.
"Oh, so naive!!!"
He scoffed.
"Don't forget, the Forbidden Abyss was originally created by our Illusionary God Cult!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his forelimbs high, and the sharp sickle-shaped forelimbs immediately transformed into the shape of human hands.
Buzz!!!
The next second, the core of the forbidden abyss suddenly lit up with dazzling snow light. The next second, it broke through Huo Xianfeng's five fingers and fell into Cruzi's hands.
Ye Shu's pupils trembled.
"Varied… !!"
Cruzi held the burning core tightly in his hand, as if a gambler had finally won supreme wealth.
"Today, I'll let you see it for yourself,"
He laughed wildly, causing the mecha to shake crazily.
"—The true power of the Illusionary God Cult!!!"
"… "
Huo Xianfeng was stunned for two seconds, blinked again, and then suddenly turned his head: "Hey, Jiang Ci!"
Bai Ze, who was about to rush up to fight, stopped abruptly and turned to look over: ""
I only heard the young man ask,
"Did you hear what he just said?"
Jiang Ci was stunned: "...Did he speak just now?"
The Major General saw—
"He has been there the whole time, shaking all over."
Cruzi, who forgot that his vocal system had malfunctioned, said: "..."
The awkward silence lasted for a full ten seconds. Cruzi pressed the Forbidden Abyss's core into his chest and roared again that no one could hear.
"Damn it!!! I'm going to kill you!!! Kill you!!!"
The Zerg mecha spread its bony wings and flew into the air, its abdomen spinning and its huge gun barrel extended.
The next second, the black and purple cannon light instantly approached his eyes, and the terrible energy exploded, instantly causing a deafening sound that shook the earth!
This attack is on a completely different level from the previous one, or in other words, it's like the difference between a stone falling into a lake and a meteorite falling.
But even so, if anyone had seen the 3S Mecha Forbidden Abyss three hundred years ago, they would probably just shake their heads and sigh, saying that it was not even one-tenth of the original. But at this moment, it could still be considered a thorny danger.
At this moment, a familiar silver light flashed before Huo Xianfeng's eyes. His pupils shrank suddenly, but the next second, Bai Ze's back occupied the boy's field of vision.
The silver spear blocked the attack bravely. The terrifying cannon light seemed to become a solid entity at this moment and was split into two by the sharp tip of the spear.
This scene was extremely spectacular, like the gods dividing the sea.
However, after blocking this attack, Bai Ze immediately turned into a sharp arrow and soared into the sky.
At this time, Xiao X could no longer bear the burden. Huo Xianfeng thought about it and decided to withdraw from the battle. At the same time, he also pulled Ye Shu along.
The city lord is furious
"You actually plan to let Jiang Ci deal with him alone?!"
"Don't worry, he can win."
Huo Xianfeng waved his hand, very confident.
At this moment, Jin Yuan quickly retreated, and then suddenly put his two fingers together halfway, casually stroked his forehead, and made a high school student's cool gesture to Bai Ze in the air.
"Jiangci—"
"Remember to aim your gun at the cockpit, kill him!!!"
Jiang Ci: “…”
This guy... How do you know what he's thinking
However, the war situation was critical at this time, and Jiang Ci had no time to think about these things.
He had already engaged in a frantic battle with Cruzi that was difficult to capture with the naked eye. The weapons of both sides collided in the vast night, and the clash of metals produced extremely bright sparks, which was more like a grand fireworks show, showing indescribable splendor in the night.
At the same time, Huo Xianfeng chose a position with a very good view to watch the game.
But after more than a dozen rounds, Jiang Ci still lost.
Cruzi slashed Bai Ze's left shoulder with his knife, barely glancing at his chest, leaving an extremely horrific crack.
Damn it!
Jiang Ci gritted his teeth and immediately distanced himself. Sure enough, the next second, a deadly hot weapon attack came overwhelmingly. Bai Ze immediately adjusted his direction, fell suddenly, and dodged it in a slightly embarrassing manner.
While the two sides were fighting fiercely, the young man was observing carefully.
—He couldn’t sense Jin Yuan’s consciousness.
You should know that mechas above level A already have their own AI. As for the double-S top mechas like Bai Ze, the AI they carry is even extremely close to that of humans.
Not to mention the 3s level forbidden abyss.
The third question, Huo Xianfeng was concerned about Ye Shu's tone of answer, the other party obviously did not completely deny it. So...
"—Did Jin Yuan convey this message?"
The young man's sudden news startled Ye Shu, who looked at him with an expression of horror.
"… you?!"
That answer is enough.
Jin Yuan has an independent consciousness, even far higher than Bai Ze and Wan Jiang.
Therefore, even if Cruzi really awakened the Forbidden Abyss, he would not be able to make the latter willingly live in a temporary body.
Huo Xianfeng on the ground narrowed his eyes slightly, he seemed to have figured it out a little bit -
If he guessed correctly, Cruzi did not awaken the core, but only briefly activated some of its functions in some way and stole the power of the Forbidden Abyss.
"Well, that's enough for the experiment—"
The next second, Huo Xianfeng on the ground suddenly raised his hand and grasped the air in the direction of the Zerg mecha.
Buzz!!!
"Varied… ?!!!"
Cruzi's pupils trembled. The entire cockpit suddenly became dark. The energy that was originally filled with the mecha was also completely drained away at this moment.
Jiang Ci seemed to see something suddenly shot out from Cruzi's body, but he had no time to care at this time. He suddenly clenched his five fingers, quickly charged the silver spear, and then aimed directly at Cruzi's cockpit and threw it out -
boom!!!
This moment was earth-shattering and thunderous. The Zerg mecha that was hit instantly exploded into a ball of fireworks.
"Hiss..."
Huo Xianfeng, who was watching on the ground, gasped. This scene was so familiar that it made his scalp tingle.
Yes, that's the feeling.
Back on Earth, the mecha that Huo Xianfeng was driving was shattered by Bai Ze's shot.
At this moment, the boy pinched the slightly hot core in his hand, finally nodded with satisfaction, and let out a sigh of contentment.
It turns out that from a third-person perspective, this is what being hit by the silver spear looks like.
