Anna's crying stopped.
She looked up blankly, choking with sobs as she met Wang Ran's gaze.
Wang Ran smiled awkwardly.
"Stop crying."
He poured out all the tears in the bowl with his backhand.
This is to prevent Anna from misunderstanding.
He really just wanted Anna to stop crying. After all, it was just a simulation and there was no point in collecting any tears.
It was a bit weird, but he succeeded.
Anna couldn't cry anymore.
After his interruption, Anna's grief became incoherent.
She took out the tissue that Wang Ran had handed her earlier and wiped the tears from her face while sobbing. Her emotions gradually calmed down.
bite!
The bamboo slips suddenly made a sound.
Wang Ran opened it and found that it was the Watcher Association asking about Anna’s location. They said that a dozen gods who were good at lifting curses and purifying evil had come to Earth, and they wanted to meet Anna.
The efficiency of the Watcher Association is quite high.
Wang Ran sent a location to the Watcher Association, then turned to Anna and said, "Someone will be here to help you soon."
Anna remained silent as always.
boom!
Just then, a loud noise was heard above their heads, followed by an old female voice.
"The person who entrusted the task?"
Her voice was very strange, sounding like a piece of bacon that had been pickled for hundreds of years.
It's dry, hard, and has a weird smell.
Wang Ran shouted, "It's me, come down!"
He was not surprised that a god arrived so quickly, because the Watcher Association had mastered very advanced teleportation technology and could accurately open a portal based on the coordinates he provided.
There was another loud bang, and the sewer collapsed, allowing bright sunlight to shine in.
An old woman dressed in classical style flew down.
She wore a string of strange-shaped skulls, had a weird smile on her wrinkled face, and an uncomfortable black aura lingered around her, as if the words "not a good person" were just a few words written on her forehead.
As soon as she flew down, she stared at Anna.
"Angel?"
She revealed Anna's identity right away.
Anna showed a vigilant look. A gorgeously decorated three-story altar appeared behind her. The angel statue on the altar slowly opened its eyes, and an oppressive and solemn atmosphere filled the air.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Wang Ran frowned and stood in front of Anna. He asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." The old woman said hoarsely, "I didn't expect to meet an angel here. It's really an honor for me. But our war with the angels is over. I have no dispute with this angel lady now."
A hint of pity appeared in her eyes.
Wang Ran raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
The old woman said slowly: "My people and I were once defined as evil by the angels. At the worst time, a group of beautiful women with white wings chased us all over the world, chasing us to the point where we had no way to go to heaven or to the earth."
"But then..."
She sneered, "The angels are extinct."
Wang Ran was stunned.
He turned his head to look at Anna and found that Anna looked normal and it seemed that she had already known the news.
“How did they become extinct?”
Wang Ran asked curiously.
"I don't know." The old woman answered simply, "All the angels disappeared overnight. Only their armor and weapons were left on the ground. They might have been wiped out in one go by some kind of blood curse."
"or-"
She said jokingly: "Strip naked and run away..."
boom!
A holy white light shot up into the sky, and Anna rushed out from behind Wang Ran at a speed invisible to the naked eye. She held a dazzling lightsaber in her hand and stabbed it fiercely at the old woman's forehead.
puff-
The old woman's body exploded into a cloud of smoke.
"Hahaha!"
"Angel!"
"Everyone, come and take a look!"
"Living angel!"
Anna looked up at the sky with an unpleasant expression.
Wang Ran's eyes flickered.
Although this old woman came to help him quell the end of the world, from the current situation, this old woman has become his enemy.
If they are enemies, there is no need to stay...
"Anna, stab me."
He said softly.
Anna turned her head in confusion.
"Stab me in my vitals." Wang Ran said slowly, "I have a way to transfer the damage to that old woman just now."
Anna looked skeptical.
She was somewhat suspicious whether Wang Ran had fallen under the old woman's spell, but she did not find any signs of manipulation on Wang Ran.
Wang Ran said in a deep voice: "Trust me."
His physical attribute reached 10,000, and ordinary swords could not penetrate his defense. However, for some reason, his Doomsday Body did not carry any ancient relics, so Anna could only stab him with a sword.
Anna has extensive combat experience.
She didn't hesitate long.
After hearing what Wang Ran said, she quickly slashed the sword towards Wang Ran's neck.
Of course, she carefully controlled the strength.
Once she finds that something is wrong, she will immediately turn her attack around and will not really hurt Wang Ran.
At the critical moment when the sword was about to strike him, Wang Ran subconsciously stretched out a finger. A strange power attached to this finger, turning it into the hardest part of his body.
clang!
He deflected Anna's sword with ease.
Is this what it feels like to be "capable"
Wang Ran didn't have time to think about it.
As soon as he thought about it, he activated [Human Miserable Star].
[You activated the "human jinx"]
In a trance, Wang Ran saw a mushroom cloud.
"ah!"
There was a piercing scream in the air.
The figure of the old woman appeared.
The left half of her body was almost completely cut off, and her internal organs were hanging in the air.
Wang Ran was a little surprised.
He wasn't sure what happened in the previous moment, but the old woman was obviously seriously injured.
In the name of the angels!
Anna didn’t miss the opportunity.
She raised her right hand, and the shadow of the Sword of Arbitration condensed in her palm.
Annihilation!
A strange force enveloped the old woman's remains, and her body split into dense clusters of light and scattered in all directions.
"No!"
The old woman screamed in despair.
She had not yet summoned the altar, nor had she yet exerted her full strength. This scream was her resentment and unwillingness, but it was also her final words.
She drifted away with the wind.
This is how the battle between gods goes. Either they confront each other for a long time, or the winner is decided in a very short time.
Anna glanced at Wang Ran calmly.
She was a little surprised.
She had always thought that Wang Ran was an ordinary person, but with this damage transfer alone, even if Wang Ran had not become a god, he could play a key role in the battle between gods.
But how does damage transfer work
Is it the power of rules
Bang bang bang!
Applause filled the air.
"As expected of an angel, you killed a strong man of the same realm so easily."
A masked god walked out of the void.
Anna's eyes darted around.
The space nearby twisted, and more than a dozen gods walked out together. One of them had a silk thread flashing with blood wrapped around his wrist.
Wang Ran stared at the spirit with silk thread wrapped around his wrist for a few seconds.
He smelled blood.
It was this god who cut off half of the old woman's body, allowing Anna to succeed in one strike.
"Hello, I'm from the Watcher Association." The god took the initiative to speak, "May I ask what kind of curse this angel lady has contracted?"
He said nothing about the dead old woman.
The other gods remained silent.
Although the old woman was a powerful being at the altar level, she was interfering with the Watch Association's nightmare-level watch mission, a mission with great influence involving many gods.
Whether it is to ensure the normal progress of the mission or to defend the dignity of the Watcher Society, the Watcher Society has reasons to take action.
As for the angels...
It was indeed very strange, because the angels had disappeared from the world's ocean for a long time, and the way they disappeared was very strange. All the gods were curious about what had happened to them.
But this is not something to discuss now, and Anna is not obligated to resolve their doubts.
The top priority is to complete the overwatch mission.
The second thing is to find a way to let Anna satisfy their curiosity, but this is not an easy task, because Anna is not a weak person who can be manipulated by others. She just killed a powerful man in the altar realm in front of them.
Although there was secret assistance from the Watcher Association, the strength displayed by Anna also made them very wary.
Especially the shadow of the sword...
They felt the threat of death from that shadow.
Anna remained silent.
Wang Ran said: "It's like this..."
He briefly introduced the starfish game.
At this time, other gods also gathered around.
"Hello, my name is Kurila."
"Char."
"Arato!"
"… "
The gods each gave their names, which was considered a brief self-introduction.
"It's been a long time since I encountered such a strange thing. Let's try our best." The god of the Watcher Association asked Anna, "Can we check your body?"
Anna didn't comment.
Wang Ran said in a deep voice: "Okay, but don't offend me."
The god of the Watcher Association nodded.
He stared at Anna's face, strange visions surging in his eyes.
After a few seconds, His eyes returned to normal.
“I can feel something very special attached to you.” He said slowly, “It may be a little painful next, please bear with it.”
Anna had a blank expression.
As a veteran angel who has experienced many battles, she is never afraid of pain.
The gods of the Watcher Association summoned out the altar.
Compared to Anna's, His altar looked unusually plain. Although it also had three floors, there were no decorations on the altar, nor were there any statues standing on it.
Wang Ran had doubts in his mind.
Are there differences between altars? Anna's altar seems to be more advanced than this god's altar
He did not immediately raise the question.
Because the gods of the Watcher Association began to heal Anna.
The altar was emitting a thick yellow light.
Strands of indescribable strange rhythms vibrated all around, and Wang Ran felt a heaviness in his chest, yet inexplicably comfortable, as if some negative things had been shaken away.
As the center of power, Anna felt it more deeply.
She could feel that a small part of the resentment in her body was dissipated, and the words of the death mission in her mind became a little blurry, but she could still clearly make out the content.
It works, but not much.
If it was easy to solve, she would have solved it herself.
The resentment in her is different from the resentment in Kongur Peak. This resentment has undergone a transformation, combining with human evil thoughts and real-life games, and has evolved into some strange characteristics.
It's like a maggot attached to your bones, impossible to get rid of.
"how are you feeling?"
The god of the Watcher Association asked.
Anna remained silent.
The god of the Watcher Association sighed, "It seems that it is not of much help. No wonder. After all, you angels are the most skilled race in dealing with this kind of thing in the world sea."
The other gods looked at Anna with frowns on their faces.
As bystanders, they used their knowledge as gods to examine Anna's resentment from a higher level and thought about ways to save Anna.
“It’s a little tricky, but still worth a try.”
"This is a very new curse. After completing the mission, I want to take a strand back to study."
"Maybe I can use something to draw away the resentment from her."
“It can also be cut conceptually.”
"It's a good idea to cut the concept. Using alternatives to attract resentment while cutting the concept should have a better effect."
"I have a material called Soul Gold."
"These materials can be used to shape strange things. They have a strong attraction to strange things and can be used as substitutes."
"Although the resentment is strange, it is not very strong."
"It's better to fight poison with poison, use a more powerful but easier to clean weird thing to devour the resentment, and then get rid of this weird thing."
"… "
These dozen gods came from a dozen different worlds, and each of them possessed a treasure trove of knowledge of their own race. They brainstormed and came up with some methods that even Anna found novel.
Wang Ran looked at the gods who were having a heated discussion.
He thought to himself that he had done everything he could, and it would be a waste of time to stay in the simulation, so it was time to return to reality.
[Soul Wandering Through the Ages], ends!
