[Thanks for the support of the monthly ticket for Breaking the Sky and Zhanyue! Wisdom tooth seems to be inflamed today, very swollen and painful, egg pain TT]
Fighting to the present, the state of Gaia and Zero is close to the limit. Whether it's energy consumption or physical trauma, the two are almost evenly matched. But generally speaking, Zero is relatively at a disadvantage, and the fundamental reason lies in the form of life.
Zero still maintains the form of a creature. Even though he has evolved several levels compared to ordinary creatures, he still does not break away from the range of creatures. With an arm broken, there are three empty energy stones left, and the consumption of physical energy has fallen to the bottom, and he is already panting violently just standing like this. Looking at Gaia again, he seems to be worse than Zero, without a hand or a leg, but he has been fully energized, and the trauma of his body has little effect on him.
If it had not been for Longinus who attacked him, he would have done damage at the root beyond repair. Otherwise, as long as the energy is still there, Gaia can regenerate infinitely and instantaneously. But even at this moment, the energy breath on his body is still relatively strong. After all, in the energy form, he can absorb space energy faster than Zero's biological form.
By this time, the two had already revealed their cards, and Longinus, who was Zero, had even shot out all the bullets. In Gaia's eyes, there was no longer any threat.
"So, this battle can be over." Gaia said in a low voice.
Ling took a long breath, straightened his body and said, "It's over? Is it too early, I'm still standing..."
"Soon, you'll be down!"
Gaia's whole body lit up, and at the end, it was like a blue sun rising in the dining room. Gaia turned into light, rushing toward Zero like mercury pouring down the ground! How light travels, Gaia's only remaining hand has been deeply pierced into Zero's chest before the consciousness can react. It took about half a second for Zero to react. There was a scorching hot thing in his chest, it kept tearing apart the muscles and nerves, and finally touched the crystal nucleus that replaced the heart.
You can already feel the abnormally hard outer wall of the crystal nucleus, but under Gaia's finger, this little bit of firmness can't cause any obstacles. He put his face next to Zero's ear and said, "Goodbye, Zero!"
Then the fingers pushed hard into the crystal nucleus!
Zero's whole body shook, his pupils dilated. But then there was an indifferent smile on his face: "This is also what I want to say."
When Gaia didn't realize it, she felt a pain in her chest!
He lowered his head and saw that there was one more thing between himself and Zero. It was a silver-white short knife, and there was even an extremely gorgeous golden pattern painted on the surface of the knife. It stabbed deeply into Gaia's chest, and as the blade oscillated sharply under Zero's special technique, the light of the blade finally flashed left and right, cutting Gaia in two!
Gaia's hand was still in Zero's chest, and in this short moment, he realized that he had slipped to the brink of death. Death was a new word for him, because Gaia never thought that he would die. But now, he really felt the power of death.
That knife, like Longinus, has the power to destroy the roots, and it has successfully cut off most of the roots that Gaia maintains itself. Will die, this is Gaia's first thought. Then the passing thought was, we will all die together!
The arm in Zero's body thrust forward fiercely, with the sharpness of the finger like a knife, it smoothly cut open the crystal nucleus and reached its depth. As long as it penetrates from the other side of the crystal nucleus, it can completely destroy Zero, an important organ. The crystal nucleus is destroyed, even if there is a memory group, Gaia believes that Zero's life cannot be saved.
At this moment, he felt a sliver of ice-like loneliness instead. They are unique ultra life forms on this planet, they could have gone further, but now they both fell here. But at the level of Gaia, the movement will not stop because of the momentary weakness of the will. However, when Gaia's arm passed through the crystal nucleus, he suddenly couldn't feel the existence of his fingers.
It's as if there is another space in the crystal nucleus, and the arm has passed through two different spaces. Gaia withdrew her arm violently, bringing out a pool of hot blood. Zero staggered back, a gap the size of a fist appeared in his chest. Where Gaia's arm penetrated, the body has been completely annihilated. From the outside, you can even see Zero's pierced crystal nucleus, and a large gray-white flame is constantly spraying out from the cracks in the crystal nucleus.
That is the power of nothingness!
On that day, he fought Leo at the Well of Weeping Gods, and Leo's self-explosion finally made Zero fall into the abyss. After waking up, he found that the power of nothingness was still preserved. And this time it is permanently preserved, rather than constantly fading as before. Zero captured it, sealed this power into the crystal nucleus, and then activated the split brain to model and analyze it, in order to analyze the secret of nothingness.
Today, the analysis process is still less than one-third, but when Gaia's fingers penetrated into the crystal nucleus, the power of nothingness that had been in a stable state seemed to be stimulated and attacked by itself. Right now, Gaia's palm has turned white, and the grayness is still spreading. Gaia was startled and angry, constantly urging the remaining energy to expel the force of nothingness, but this force faithfully performed its duty of leading things into nothingness.
Gaia was hit twice at the same time, and there is no suspense that it will eventually return to nothingness. Zero retreated all the way to the corner, and then sat down as if he had lost all his strength, panting heavily and looking at Gaia who was still floating in mid-air. Only the part above his chest remained, and even this small half of his body was gradually annihilated by the influence of nothingness.
It's just that the progress of nihilization is not as fast as before, which is related to the limited power stored in the zero crystal nucleus and Gaia's current energy form. But Gaia also reached the point where he was dying, he finally calmed down, and looked at Zero with his unenergized golden pupil: "I didn't expect it to end like this in the end."
Nodding his head, he said with difficulty: "It seems that my hands are better than yours."
"Indeed, it turns out that the real ability of Longinus is not the bullet, but itself. If I had known earlier that it also had the ability to change shape freely, then I would not be confused by your * shape." Gai Ya said lightly.
"Unfortunately, fate doesn't have what to say."
"You are right, Zero. Originally, I thought that as a body, I would never lose to your body. But the facts have proved that your luck is superior to mine. In the end, the world still chose you. "Gaia said in a deep voice: "From today on, you are the only one!"
"So, zero... don't lose to fate!" Gaia said this, and suddenly accelerated the speed of annihilation. Pieces of blue flames spread out, and his remaining body quickly returned to nothingness. But that golden pupil became brighter and brighter, and finally turned into a beam of golden light that shot towards Zero and landed at Zero's feet.
As for Gaia, it dissipated completely. But Zero sensed that Gaia used his last energy to let the other God's Eye escape from his body, thus escaping the fate of returning to nothingness. This man, who was unwilling to be the body of the will of the planet, was still under the chessboard of the times in the end, leaving a chess piece full of variables.
Seeing the Eye of God falling beside him, Zero smiled wryly, reaching out to hold it. He knew that most of Gaia's genes must be sealed there, as well as a lot of ability information. Gaia saved it in the end, and naturally hoped that Zero would use it to further complement herself. Zero picked it up, opened his mouth and threw it in. As soon as the God's Eye fell into Zero's mouth, it immediately turned into a stream of golden liquid and flowed into the esophagus.
The next moment, Zero's whole body exuded an astonishingly high fever, but Zero himself fell into a coma. This is a time when he has never been vulnerable. I am afraid that even an ordinary pistol can kill him.
The war is over.
Whether it's zero-sum Gaia, or a war in the city of Rome. When the first ray of dawn fell on the endless wilderness land, all had returned to silence. In the city of Rome, the flames are still rising, and the flames of the war appear in some corners of the city. The Knights are fighting these flames and trying to restore order after the war.
The entire Pope's Hall has completely become a thing of the past. From the square to the main building complex at the back, more than 80% of the area was damaged. This is a huge damage that the city of Rome has never suffered since its establishment. If you want to restore the Pope's Hall, you can't do it without five or six months. It was not only the pope's hall that was damaged, but several blocks affected by the flames of war were almost turned into ruins, and the bodies of both the enemy and us could be seen everywhere. Or lying in the street, or buried in the rubble.
After this battle, the Knights were reduced by 70%, leaving less than 300 people. But the casualty rate of Sauron's private army was as high as 90%, and those who survived in the end were those who chose to surrender because of the wrong situation. They have been locked up and are currently guarded by Mendriza's men.
Most importantly, all members of the Silver Hand died in battle. A total of twenty-one biochemical warriors who had injected Sauron's genes appeared in total, but they could not escape the fate of being exterminated in the end. However, this battle was also an arduous battle for Su and Feng, who followed Ling South and North Wars. These two ninth-level fights to the end, whether it is Su's epee or Feng's Tang Dao, have changed. Became scrap metal.
Even so, the two were both injured and fell into a coma directly after the battle. No matter what, the result of the victory will eventually be won, but at the same time of victory, it is often accompanied by a huge price.
At the last moment of the battle, when there were only two people left in the Silver Hand, they both activated self-destruct. Once two ninth-level self-destructs are allowed, the entire city of Rome may be affected. At this moment, Mr. X and Mamelo didn't hesitate, and used their bodies to block most of the self-explosion's power, suppressing the explosion within a block.
But afterwards, the bodies of the two did not even leave fragments. In the end, Paul could only raise the flag of mourning in the square after the war to mourn the heroes who died in battle.
After three days like this, Su and the others finally regained consciousness. In addition to the fact that the body is still not completely healed, the spirit is not bad. However, there is still a problem entrenched in everyone's mind like a cloud, that is, zero has not returned. In the end, not only Cinderella, but even Suji couldn't sit still, and decided to go out of the city to find the remains of Zero.
Paul also joined them, and after entrusting Mendriza to handle some matters in Rome, the young pope drove himself and left Rome with Cinderella and others. Black Wing is also among them. He is an expert in tracking. With some clues left by Zero and Gaia outside the city that day, he finally found the city where the decisive battle took place.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the city on a hill. Several blocks of the city were completely turned into ruins, and there were traces of the explosion everywhere. The whole city is full of dead silence. The dead silence comes from the battlefield that seems to have left a huge black squad in the city. There is too much destructive energy left after the battle between Gaia and Zero. If there is no targeted purification technology for these energies, it will take a long time to complete the purification by itself.
And such a time is usually measured in hundreds of years.
Facing a completely dead city, even an ability user like Hei Yi, who is good at perception, can't sense any life fluctuations in the city. Everyone can only use the most stupid method, which is to enter the ruins separately to search.
Cinderella went all the way alone, walked along the damaged blocks, stepped on the rubble all over the ground, and finally came to the playground where Zero and Gaia fought that day. Looking at the collapsed Ferris wheel, the fragmented merry-go-round, and the traces left after too many battles, Cinderella could imagine in her mind how fierce the battle was at that time.
"Zero, are you here?" She yelled loudly. On the way here, she didn't know how many times she had called like this, but every time, no one answered her.
This time is no exception.
Cinderella sighed, and when she was about to look elsewhere, her eyes accidentally passed by the front of a restaurant. Suddenly her heart beat heavily, and Cinderella's eyes widened, she could feel it.
Although there was no sign, her intuition told her that Zero was in there.
Cinderella ran in, and sure enough, she saw Zero in the corner of the restaurant. With one arm missing, Ling leaned against the corner of the wall, as if falling asleep. His whole body was already covered with a thin layer of dust, his chest didn't rise and fall, like a corpse.
"No, no, no..." Cinderella's vision blurred all of a sudden, she shook her head and ran over. Stretch out trembling fingers and put them under Zero's nose, but the fingers can't feel the slightest breath.
"No, it's not true." Cinderella laid her head on Zero's chest again, and there was still no pulse of life there.
All indications are that Zero is dead!
"No! I don't believe it, it's a lie! It's a lie!" Cinderella yelled, and under the excitement, the energy overflowed uncontrollably, shaking the surrounding walls and objects.
She put Zero flat on the ground, gave artificial respiration, and beat his heart with her hands. When Su and the others noticed Cinderella's violent ups and downs in energy and rushed to them one after another, what they saw was that she seemed to be doing something futile. The Suji people were also silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing at this moment. They looked at Zero who was peacefully sleeping, and they also didn't want to believe that their lives had left this man.
Walking with Zero, Su and the others have forgotten how many desperate situations they have crossed with him. But obviously, this time zero can no longer be crossed. However, for Su or Feng, such an ending is not a big surprise. After all, they also felt the power displayed by Gaia that day. Although Zero has become very strong, there is still some distance compared with Gaia.
They only hope that Zero can create a miracle this time, but now, it seems that the god of luck has no longer favored him.
"He's gone." Black Wing walked over and patted Cinderella's shoulder lightly: "I can feel it, Mr. Zero... There is no sign of life on him anymore."
"No!" Cinderella slapped Heiyi's hand away and shouted, "He's still alive. How could a person like him die like this? No, Zero won't just leave like this!"
Seeing her keep patting Ling's chest, everyone felt uncomfortable, even Yeliu, a girl who was always expressionless, was biting her lips tightly at this moment. If Haiwei was here, she would have burst into tears. Black Wing couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out to pull Cinderella away, but she knocked her away. Cinderella looked at Zero and murmured: "Get up, get up, Zero. Don't sleep, you..."
"How long are you going to sleep!" She yelled, and thumped Zero's chest hard.
This is the final vent.
But at this moment, everyone felt an indescribable strange feeling. A faint but very tenacious vitality suddenly appeared in this dead land, like a new sprout emerging from the ground, although immature, it was full of vitality.
Cinderella raised her head slowly, and saw that Zero had sat up at some point. The man put one hand on the ground, with a warm smile on his face: "Good morning..."
"Stupid, it's almost evening!" Cinderella said, then slammed into Zero's arms.
Ling was hit by her and lay on the ground, before he could speak, his mouth was sealed. Cinderella kissed him with all her strength, and at this moment, her words seemed powerless.
Watching the two kiss passionately, Paul gestured and walked out of the restaurant with a smile. The others also filed away, leaving this small space for the two of them.
About ten minutes later, Lingcai and Cinderella left the restaurant. He said with a faint smile, "I've made everyone worry."
"As long as you're fine, where's that person?" Paul asked.
"Already... completely disappeared." Zero whispered, until now, the picture of Gaia before it disappeared is still lingering in his mind.
"Disappeared, that's really..." Paul suddenly said "Huh", "Zero, your left eye?"
Only then did everyone notice that Zero's left eye is now also golden in color, plus the original right eye, now Zero has a pair of golden eyes.
Zero stretched out, gently covered his left eye with his palm, and said, "This is a gift from someone."
"Okay, let's go back. Your Highness Paul, I hope you have something for me to eat. Now I am so hungry that even three cows can eat it."
Paul smiled and said, "Don't talk about three heads, even if you eat ten heads, you can eat it. I have a big business now."
"That would be great." Zero looked at Cinderella, squeezed her hand and said, "Let's go, we're going back!"
"Um."
