Inside the gigantic mecha repair factory, Jin Yuan was suspended on the ground, with giant metal grippers holding up its arms from above.
Technicians the size of rice grains were scattered all over the huge steel giant. They were suspended in mid-air, looking down at the silver-haired omega below.
At this time, the leading technician saw Jiang Ci and immediately came forward.
"Major General Jiang Ci, Chief Technician Yang Tian has been unwell these days, so I am here to take over. You can just call me He Xu."
By this time, Jiang Ci had already put his facial expression in order, and no one could tell that he was shy and flustered in the elevator just now. The major general nodded calmly, his eyes lingered on the other person's unfamiliar face for a moment, and then he calmly looked away.
"Well, you should have received the order? During this period, I will be responsible for the guarding of the Forbidden Abyss. Don't worry about the Shiwen District. Cheng Jin has already taken care of it."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, Major General."
The person in charge stretched out his hand and said with a smile,
"—Then please follow me."
"… "
But at this time, Jiang Ci did not move. He glanced around, frowned slightly, pointed at the huge instrument in the distance, and asked,
"-what is that?"
In the distance, there were four huge, strangely shaped black instruments placed at the four corners of the Forbidden Abyss. The person in charge paused, but still looked calm, and explained with a smile,
"It's a new detector, Major General."
-lie.
He had a father who was hailed as the father of the new era of human technology. Although the father died early and taught him very little, as a result of his family tradition, Jiang Ci was familiar with all these things.
That is not a detector at all. A detector does not require such a large energy voltage. The value even exceeds that of the superconducting electromagnetic cannon equipped by the mecha.
People from the church
Or is he from Ye Shu
Jiang Ci was thinking in his heart. At the same time, Huo Xianfeng, who had just come out of the elevator, also felt something was wrong. He looked up and found a line of golden trace on the wreckage.
The young man narrowed his eyes slightly.
Such pure gold color could not have been accidentally scratched during a battle, or even during maintenance.
Most importantly, that color reminded him of the so-called holy marks on Cruzi's body. At this moment, Jiang Ci looked back with a sense of something, and Huo Xianfeng quickly exchanged a glance with him.
The latter nodded slightly, speaking in a normal tone:
"Then you guys continue to be busy, I'll just take a look."
The moment the silver-haired major general turned around, Bai Ze's solemn voice rang out from the biochip embedded behind his ear:
"Aci, since you got on the elevator just now, the signal has been completely blocked, and the message can't be transmitted at all."
His steps froze, and before he could react, a sinister voice sounded behind him.
It felt like a cold snake crawling up my spine.
"—You have a keen eye for observation."
The person behind him suddenly made a lightning-fast move and grabbed Jiang Ci's shoulder tightly.
Snapped!
Jiang Ci's face changed drastically.
The next second, Bai Ze transformed into a spear in a dazzling white light and rushed forward. The latter drew out a sharp black bayonet and narrowly blocked the attack.
boom!!!
"Jiang... Porcelain..."
The man slowly chanted his name, the muscles on his face trembling slightly with excitement, flashing with pixel-like electric light, gradually revealing his true face, his hawk-like eyes revealed, looking at the omega's overly delicate and beautiful face wantonly,
"It's been a while. What a pity. The milk smell you had when you were a child has faded a lot."
The silver-haired omega's pupils suddenly trembled, as if thousands of fragmented images swept through his mind like a hurricane. When Jiang Ci was thirteen years old, he was kidnapped once, and after that incident, Zhou Jiuya terminated his legal guardianship relationship with him and sent Jiang Ci back to the Jiang family.
He gritted his teeth, almost squeezing out the name from between his teeth—
“… Leinster!”
Ding!!!
Jiang Ci thrust his spear forward, and the latter quickly raised his hand to block, the blades collided and sparks flew. In a flash, the two of them exchanged more than a dozen rounds.
boom!!!
In the end, Jiang Ci fired a fierce sweeping shot, bringing up countless crackling flashes of lightning, forcing the opponent to retreat and keep some distance.
At this moment, those crimson eyes revealed extreme disgust without disguising.
"You are just...disgusting as always, Leinster!"
At this time, Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, he stood behind and did not intervene easily. Although there was no big change in his expression, the pressure around him suddenly cooled down.
But it was obvious that at this time, Leinster did not take the pretty boy behind Jiang Ci seriously. He just glanced at Huo Xianfeng briefly, and seeing that he was just standing there without any movement, he returned to Jiang Ci.
"Really... I originally planned to take down the Forbidden Abyss wreckage first and then look for you. I didn't expect that you would come to my door by yourself..."
At this moment, Leinster suddenly snapped his fingers, and more than a dozen figures suddenly rushed over from behind.
—Those were all the technicians who were on Jin Yuan just now!
The eyes of these people were filled with a turbid yellow-white color, with no pupils at all. Their faces were covered with hideous golden lines, which looked extremely creepy.
Compared to those alpha officers who like to fight fiercely on the battlefield or training ground, Jiang Ci has a better relationship with these calm and introverted technicians, so there are many familiar faces among them.
But now, those faces that used to be cheerful, honest, or humble were all distorted with golden lines, their muscles bulged and became hideous.
Jiang Ci's eyes were filled with horror, and then a fierce rage surged out.
When he was in school, he had heard some rumors about the church on the Star Internet. Those believers spread the rumor that the so-called holy marks were marks bestowed by God and could obtain power from the phantom god.
But when He Zhun heard it, he sneered, which was rare.
[It is just a means of stimulating human potential using some kind of biotechnology.]
[As for the fanaticism of some religious believers, maybe it is a hint to the brain.]
He Zhun had always looked heartless since he was a child. Jiang Ci was very surprised by his sharp and sarcastic tone at the time, and was particularly impressed.
But when he asked again, his friend just waved his hand and laughed it off.
[Alas, what do I know? It's just a criticism of feudal superstition by a medical student who believes in materialism.]
But now it seems that no matter whether the other party knew something at the time, those words have become reality at this moment.
boom!!!
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the ground.
The technicians who were running frantically suddenly stopped, as if they were hit by an irresistible force, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to move.
A terrifying and invisible force invaded from underground. Leinster was caught off guard and staggered. His left kneecap hit the ground heavily with a bang.
Jiang Ci's movements also suddenly stopped, and her legs softened unexpectedly. At this moment, a hand suddenly wrapped around her waist and hugged the omega's body that was about to fall.
Jiang Ci turned his head suddenly, and the boy's cold profile caught his eyes. He was slightly startled.
"... Huo Xianfeng?"
A brief moment of surprise flashed through Jiang Ci's mind, and she immediately reacted.
—Huo Xianfeng turned on the gravity magnetic field.
Generally, there is a gravity magnetic field in the mecha maintenance room, which is usually used to reduce gravity and facilitate the maintenance of mechas weighing millions of tons. Sometimes, gravity is also strengthened to test the mecha's ability to withstand pressure.
After all, not every planet has the same gravity.
And in this mecha repair room that can repair the Forbidden Abyss, there is naturally the most advanced gravity and magnetic field device.
“Damn it…!”
At this time, Leinster also reacted, and he said angrily,
"Gravity magnetic field! Who turned on the gravity magnetic field?!"
"Stop shouting, stop shouting,"
Huo Xianfeng waved his hand.
"—is your grandfather."
Leinster choked: "..."
Jiang Ci: “…”
For some reason, seeing Leinster's dark face, Jiang Ci's depression and anger suddenly disappeared. However, his slightly brightened mood did not last for a few seconds, and the big hand that was originally pressing on his waist suddenly moved up and grabbed the back of his collar.
Jiang Ci: “… ?”
The next second, the silver-haired major general felt his throat tighten and his whole body was instantly lifted into the air.
Wow!
A huge force came over him, and the shocked omega was picked up by Huo Xianfeng with one hand and thrown back out of the gravity magnetic field.
Jiang Ci: “…???”
The invisible gravity suddenly disappeared, and Jiang Ci felt light all over. His body instinct made him adjust his body shape in mid-air immediately, and he landed on the ground nimbly like a cat.
Jiang Ci looked at the back of the young man in front of her, her expression slightly stunned.
Huo Xianfeng's lazy posture was the same as usual, and he seemed to have no discomfort at all in this gravity field.
"I said,"
He curled his lips.
"You're such a rubbish that you have to call for help when fighting an omega."
"… Ah,"
Here we can see the difference between Leinsert and Cruzi. If it were Cruzi, he would have been so angry that he would have jumped up and down on the spot.
But Leinster just narrowed his eyes slightly in displeasure and shouted in a low voice,
"Tugema! Keep an eye on Jiang Ci, the core is in his hands!"
"yes!"
Jiang Ci followed the source of the sound and turned his head, and unexpectedly, there was a person standing in the shadow of the side of the giant pillar.
It looks like it will be a fierce battle.
Jiang Ci's expression was grim and he clenched the silver spear in his hand.
"He does look a little like Huo Chao, but he is not him."
Huo Xianfeng: "..."
Although he had some respect for the Marshal, he couldn't stand the situation where everyone would come up to him and say -
You look like xxx, and then add a sneer, saying, you know, even if you look like him, you can't compare to xxx
—This is clearly a slander, and it really makes people feel so uncomfortable.
Huo Xianfeng suspected that all the people in this church were heavy fans of the Marshal who had turned against him. Otherwise, why would everyone who mentioned him act as if they loved him but couldn't get him, and yet hated him deeply
Especially, too much talking!!!
"That guy used to be so majestic, known as the Alliance God of War. Now he's even more of a savior, worshipped by everyone. How could he turn into a kid with barely grown hair..."
"hiss-"
Leinster's words were interrupted by a short gasp.
"Huh? You actually peeked at me?"
Huo Xianfeng shook his head, showing a look of great disdain, and spat,
"abnormal!!!"
Leinster: “… ?”
Jiang Ci: “…”
The originally tense atmosphere collapsed in an instant.
Jiang Ci turned away silently, suddenly feeling speechless and amused.
Sure enough... this is Huo Xianfeng.
So this is what it feels like to see this guy scolding people from a third-person perspective.
Leinster finally realized that the other party had played a dirty joke on him, an alpha.
The damage is not great, but it is extremely insulting.
In this moment of distraction, Huo Xianfeng launched an attack without any warning, and the sharp dagger pierced straight into the opponent's throat. In an instant, Leinsster retreated immediately, and a long cut was made on his collar.
This scene was quite thrilling. If he had not moved 0.1 second faster, his throat would have been cut by just a few millimeters.
Leinsert's eyes widened instantly, unable to conceal the shock in his pupils.
Although Cruzi was stupid, his fighting ability was unquestionable. However, according to the footage sent back, he was killed by Jiang Ci. Therefore, Leinster had no accurate judgment on Huo Xianfeng's fighting ability.
This guy looks like a traffic idol who relies on his looks to make a living, but the fight just now made Leinsster instantly confirm that the opponent is even more powerful than Jiang Ci!
The man's eagle eyes sank.
What is the origin of this guy in front of me? ! !
clang!
The bayonet suddenly stretched out, snapped into two, and crossed over, firmly blocking the oncoming dagger.
"I underestimated you!"
Leinster's expression was grim, his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly exerted force, sweeping his two spears
Snapped!
Electromagnetic sparks exploded in balls.
Huo Xianfeng did not fight hard, but took a step back, released the dagger and quickly unloaded the huge force.
Ding-
Xiao X was suddenly knocked out.
Huo Xianfeng suddenly lowered his body, and the blade of the bayonet cut off several strands of his hair.
If there was a camera to capture the details of this moment, you would find that the broken hair ends didn't even make a crackling sound, but were turned into ashes by the electric current the moment they broke.
This is probably the kind of top-notch fight that is difficult to film even in a movie!
The weapon was knocked away by the opponent, but the young man did not panic at all. He supported himself on the ground with one hand, and kicked hard with both legs. His whole body seemed to have turned into a stabbing spear in an instant, and the speed was so fast that the afterimage was almost invisible.
boom!!!
Leinster flew backwards instantly, and he thrust his spear into the ground, sliding straight for more than ten meters before barely stopping. But at this time, the opponent had already attacked him.
"Varied… ?!"
Sharp, swift, fierce, unpredictable, yet unconventional.
The boy's expression had completely lost his usual laziness. His dark pupils were like an unfathomable abyss, and his whole body looked like a sophisticated and top-notch fighting machine.
This familiar close combat style with almost no flaws made it difficult for Leinster not to think of someone familiar.
But at this moment he had no time to say a word, because he was concentrating all his efforts on resisting the opponent's violent attack.
The battle situation on Jiang Ci's other side was not easy either. He quickly glanced at Huo Xianfeng and found that the guy was still able to beat the opponent with his bare hands in the gravity field.
"… "
—What kind of monster is this
Huo Xianfeng is not a person who likes to talk nonsense. He never follows the turn-based system in fighting. He is completely the type of person who will take advantage of your weakness to kill you.
He stretched his right hand back and grabbed at the air.
Buzz—
The dagger that was knocked away just now was like a meteor, shooting straight towards Leinster's right eye.
The latter's pupils tightened, and a familiar feeling as if time and space were dislocated climbed up Leinster's spine like an electric current.
What's going on? This is a familiar move? ! !
His mind froze for a moment, but his body instinctively predicted the trajectory of the dagger and he quickly turned his head to avoid it.
At this moment, every movement seemed to completely overlap with that moment long, long ago—
The gray-haired cultist barely dodged the dagger that attacked from the side.
"Huo Chao! Why did you betray me?!"
His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted fiercely, facing the attack of the black-haired boy in front of him directly.
Sizzle—
But at this moment, the opponent suddenly turned his foot, and his military boots made a sharp sound on the metal ground.
This sharp sound was like a spear, piercing through the gray memories and piercing into the present.
Huo Xianfeng also changed direction instantly at this moment, just like the person in the distant memory, and bypassed Leinster directly at the last moment.
Snapped!!!
He accurately grasped the hilt of the knife in the air from behind Leinster, made a very neat and beautiful knife flower, turned the tip of the dagger, and stabbed blindly without even looking back!
Puff—
The black dagger pierced the gray-haired cultist's heart.
In the memory, Leinster knelt on the ground and heard the man say coldly and disgustedly,
[I have never been one of you, so how can I betray you?]
The overlapping images of the past and the present diverged at this moment, and then like two diverging rivers and seas, they flowed away in different directions.
clang!
The unexpected thing happened without any warning. The sound of a sharp object piercing the body did not occur. The sharp blade of the dagger pierced through Leinster's clothes on the back, but there was no skin underneath.
A golden holy mark emerged from it, like a living parasite, and was now tightly entwining the dagger, preventing it from getting any closer.
A hint of surprise finally appeared in the young man's deep black phoenix eyes. It was obvious that this scene was completely beyond Huo Xianfeng's expectations.
But this is not the end. The golden stigmata are like countless living tentacles that instantly climb up the boy's right arm, pierce into his skin, and then strangle him tightly.
Huo Xianfeng's pupils suddenly dilated.
It was this moment—
Countless memory fragments swirled around him like a hurricane. The boy stood in the eye of the storm, trying hard to grasp those absurd and bizarre images.
A tall white tower reaching into the sky.
Inside the huge church, the Pope sat high up, with a huge and strange statue behind him.
Huo Xianfeng finally saw the statue clearly this time. It had nine heads. The expressions of the eight heads around it were either painful, ecstatic, ferocious, or furious...
But the one in the middle had a compassionate face.
It completely overlaps with the expression on the Pope's face on the throne.
[Only you… only you… succeeded.]
His Holiness held the child in his arms, stroked his hair tenderly, and sighed,
[From today on, Huo Chao, you are God's child.]
The black-haired boy turned around, his cheeks covered with black and gold stigmata. He looked down blankly, his pupils reflecting the stacked, bloody corpses of children.
Wow!
The storm of time swept by, and the black-haired boy grew into a young man, standing tall and straight, with a slender back.
He stood in front of a huge cultivation glass cabin. The viscous liquid inside emitted a faint blue light and swayed slightly, casting mottled shadows on his handsome and slightly immature profile.
The culture chamber was filled with dark blue nutrient solution. The king insect cub imprisoned inside slowly opened its eyes. There were more than a dozen cold metal tubes inserted on its back, and it looked skinny and weak.
If it weren't for the cold and sharp golden vertical pupils that were different from those of humans, the other person would look like a child of only four or five years old.
Snapped.
He placed his palm against the glass of the incubator, grinning fiercely, and strange language gently vibrated out from the liquid—
[How dare you, human...]
Cluck —
The sudden feeling of suffocation suddenly pulled Huo Xianfeng back to reality from the chaotic storm of memories.
Leinster tightly grasped the boy's neck, and looked at his suffocating and painful face with pleasure.
"I have thought about this scene for a long, long time... If one day I can trample you under my feet at will..."
"… think"
The vocal cords under the palm of his hand vibrated slightly, and a light sneer came out.
Buzz—
Huo Xianfeng opened his eyes, and the left pupil stretched to become a sharp golden vertical pupil like a ferocious beast. He grinned and smiled grimly.
"How on earth did you dare to think of that?"
