Chapter 121 Wind God Priest
Lina wanted to ask more carefully, but...
"It's too late to explain." The man who claimed to be Zack's father held the shotgun tightly in his arms with a determined look: "The cyborg warriors raised by Takeda are all crazy people whose minds have been twisted during the transformation process. They are bloodthirsty and murderous."
"You guys should leave quickly, don't let us get you into trouble."
Zack's mother also sighed and picked up the gun and alchemical grenade, blocking Lina and others: "Run quickly, everyone."
"If you have a chance to meet Zach in the future, I hope... you can help take care of this child—"
As she spoke, the hostess took out a photo from the drawer next to her.
This is their family photo.
Father, Mother, and...
He put his parents inside his body and took a photo with a silly smile on his face...
A green, translucent "rubber ball" with a human face?
"This is Zach," said Zach's mother.
Lina: “???”
Isn’t this a ball?
Did you give birth to a ball?
"Don't be scared by his appearance. Zach is actually a very kind child." Zach's mother finally said, "Let's go quickly. It's really too late..."
It's really too late.
As soon as those cyborg warriors arrived at the scene, they knocked on the door in their own way.
"Hurry up, don't let that monster run away!" A murderous roar.
Then there was a flash of fire outside the door, and a rocket came blasting towards them without mercy.
With a loud bang, a hole was blasted in the wooden door wall.
Lina and the others who were hiding inside didn't even have time to escape, and could only emerge from the ruins in a panic amidst the rubble and dust.
"Huh? Why are there so many people in there?"
The leader of this cyborg transformation team is a "Tin Man".
His entire body had been transformed by prosthetics. His hands had been replaced with gorilla arms, his legs had been replaced with mantis blades, his chest, spine, and skull had been welded with solid bulletproof steel plates, and it seemed that only his head was still made of flesh and blood.
As for the other dozen or so prototype modified warriors, although their degree and type of modification are different from that of the "Iron Man", they all have this half-human, half-machine, ferocious appearance and look very difficult to mess with.
"We are the Leaders." Lina mustered up her courage and took the initiative to negotiate: "I hope you can give the Leaders Association some face..."
"The Leader?" The Tin Man seemed to have heard of the Leader as well.
But the other party's reaction was: "Damn it!"
"You guys are also targeting that monster, and you want to take Zack away?"
"No..." Lina wanted to explain.
"Heh, Zaun is not a place where you can come and go as you please." The tin man just yelled with red eyes: "Kill them! Don't let these Piltover guys take away Lord Takeda's things!"
Lina felt a headache.
This group of cyborg warriors are just as Zack's father said, bloodthirsty, murderous, and mentally twisted; and that ball named Zack... uh... child, seems to be of great significance to the people of the Takeda gang.
Looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no possibility for both sides to resolve the issue through peaceful negotiations.
Fighting is inevitable.
"Run!" Zach's parents said resolutely, "You have nothing to do with this matter. There is no need for you to be buried with us!"
"No." Lina shook her head.
She wasn't sure if Zach's parents were really good people, but Takeda Saito and his lackeys were 100% bad guys.
Although punishing evil and eliminating evil is not the mission of this social investigation team, but... we're here anyway.
They could not sit idly by and watch the evil happening before their eyes.
Most importantly…
"We have the ability." Lina smiled confidently.
As she spoke, she slowly untied the wide windbreaker wrapped around her body, revealing a set of mechanical armor tailored for her slender figure hidden underneath the windbreaker.
The armor surface has also been carefully polished to present an exquisite brass metallic luster, combining both artistic beauty and violent beauty, making it clear at a glance that it is advanced technology from Peart-Volvo.
The most eye-catching thing is the Hextech engine with a faint blue light embedded in the chest of this armor.
"Is this... Hextech armor?"
Zach's father is also a connoisseur.
"Yeah." Lina nodded.
In order to ensure the safety of investigators in Zaun, Victor equipped the leaders of each social investigation team with a set of Hextech armor invented and improved by him.
If it weren't for the fact that weapon-grade Hextech gems are so expensive, the wealthy Guild of Leaders would not be able to afford the cost of large-scale deployment...otherwise, with just these Hextech armored warriors, they would probably be able to flatten the entire Zaun.
"Don't be so arrogant." Zack's father kindly advised Lina: "Although I haven't seen how powerful your Hextech armor is, I know the strength of those cybernetic warriors."
"They have the advantage in numbers, and have been enhanced by prosthetics and alchemical potions. They are not that easy to deal with!"
It is indeed a bit too arrogant to think that you can deal with more than a dozen battle-hardened cyborg warriors with just one set of Hextech armor.
"But we have more than just a set of Hextech armor." Lina looked at her companions with a firm gaze.
Seeing this, the team members took action, put down their guns, and opened the heavy boxes they were carrying.
And what's in these boxes... are bombs.
"Isn't this just the cheapest iron shell bomb?" Zack's father was confused.
"Why do they carry so many bombs?" The cyborg warriors of the Takeda Gang were also stunned by this scene.
Seeing these leaders suddenly pull out so many bombs from their bodies...
They thought that Lina and the others were going to transform into suicide trucks and die with them.
In shock and confusion, these cybernetic warriors who were originally full of murderous intent did not dare to rush forward rashly.
But they quickly responded:
"Haha... these idiots actually carried an 'ammunition depot' that exploded if touched - isn't this courting death?"
"Everyone keep your distance and blow them up with rockets!"
The tin man who was in the lead couldn't help but laugh out loud viciously.
"Ms. Lina!" Zack's parents looked at her anxiously.
Although Kolina and her companions were a little nervous, they still looked calm and determined.
"Everyone……"
Facing the enemy's high-handed rocket launchers, Lina and others stood in front fearlessly.
Zack's parents thought they were going to use some killer move.
But Kelina said, "Everyone, sing with me!"
Zach's parents: "???"
Although they knew that the Leaders Association had profound attainments in music.
But is it time to sing now?
The enemy's rocket is about to hit your face!
But the song still rang out: "Arise, slaves who are hungry and cold..."
Lina and her companions, a total of ten leaders, sang a passionate song that no one else had ever heard before.
They are not extraordinary people, just ordinary people.
But just after the song started:
It's windy.
“Debout, les damnés de la terre.”
The wind is getting stronger and stronger.
“Debout, les forcats de la faim.”
The enemy's rockets whizzed towards us.
"La raison tonne en son crater."
"C'est l'éruption de la fin."
The wind was so strong that it blew the rockets flying in the sky.
In an instant, flames burst into bloom, like powerful notes playing.
"This..." Zack's father's eyes suddenly widened.
He understood:
These seemingly ordinary leaders are actually...priests chosen by the goddess Janna.
They were not singing, but chanting words of worship to the goddess as devout believers.
This song is no ordinary song either.
It is the battle song of the leader!
"Goddess Janna is real!" Zack's father shouted excitedly.
Yes.
After Janna's power recovered to a certain level, she also regained many of her authorities as a god of faith.
She can listen to the prayers of devout believers within a certain range.
She can create an incarnation and, through connecting with the faith of devout believers, she can achieve teleportation within a certain range.
Just as the sea beast priest Illaoi can summon the tentacles of the goddess Janna, those devout believers chosen by the goddess Janna can also borrow the power of the wind of change through sacrificial prayers.
Depending on the degree of devotion of faith, the strength of mental power, and Janna's own wishes, the amount of divine power that believers can borrow will also vary.
The divine power that Lina and others borrowed from the goddess through the air is naturally far inferior to that of Levi, who is directly connected to the goddess herself.
But these cheapest iron shell bombs are enough to deal with these cyborg warriors.
“…”
The singing is still going on.
The strong winds do not stop blowing.
Finally, amidst the horrified gaze of the enemy...
The bomb is flying.
