He fell to the ground.
His legs were giving out, and he saw Sutil being impaled by the monster.
"Sutil..." He opened his mouth, the light flickered, all the images became blurry, and only the whistling wind could be heard in his ears. He was trembling all over, "Sutil——"
"Sutil..."
"He completed his mission." A moth-shaped alien standing beside him whispered.
The light around him dimmed. "Mission..." Liu Xingquan repeated. He looked around blankly. He was no longer in the porch. He was teleported to an unfamiliar room.
"...Where is this place?" he asked in confusion, his voice trembling with tears.
In front of him was a group of people, aliens he didn't recognize, including Homo sapiens and aliens with strange appearances.
All the aliens were looking at him, and words like "He's coming," "He's coming," and "We've finally waited for him" were whispered among the strange alien crowd. Admiration and respect were written on every strange face, and the look in their eyes was exactly the same as Sutil's.
"Who are you?"
"This is the center of the Tita Mountains." said an old man in the lead.
"Tita?" He said the familiar name.
I am a close friend of Tita. I come from the Sharati Caves.
"We are the guardians of the Tita Mountains. We are here to watch."
"Waiting for whom?"
Xingquan, my friend, I have always longed for us to meet.
The old man stretched out his hand to Liu Xingquan and said, "Come with me."
"Where are you going?"
"We have been waiting for this for thousands of years," the old man said. "Come with us."
A thousand years ago.
Lothar walked across the land.
The sky was burning, and around him was a sea of ​​blood and a mountain of corpses. They were his comrades, the elite troops of the Shizun Company, fighting on the battlefield. The shrieking sounds of artillery fire rose and fell.
Countless lives have been lost while corporations used false lies to buy their freedom, while those despicable people claimed that this was for the good of the galaxy. There is nothing more hypocritical and ugly than using seemingly happy dreams to control and enslave others.
He knew that he had to fight to ensure that there would not be more tragedies like theirs in the future.
Even if he has to sacrifice now.
Amid the flash of swords and the roar of artillery fire, his blaster spewed out energy bullets. Fresh lives were lost in an instant, and corpses were piled up on the roadside. Energy beams screamed in the air, and stray bullets flew around his ears. Dazzling pulses exploded beside him, and several more comrades fell.
I can't go back, he said to himself, I can only move forward.
Just because my path has been pointed out by Xingquan.
"Lothar!" The gorgeous giant appeared from above. It was Diesel, one of the people behind the scenes of the Shizun Company. When he first saw him, he was filled with fear. And he still felt the same way now. He once thought that he was a nobler and wiser being than them.
"I never thought you could do this." The giant laughed loudly. He was tall and majestic, wearing exquisite armor, with an exquisite pistol hanging on his waist. "It's really ridiculous."
Lothar raised his gun and fired at Diesel, but his bullet was deflected by the shield next to the giant.
"Knock it down. Then I'll give you another chance." Diesel smiled from his high place and clapped his hands.
The ground began to shake, and a monster suddenly appeared.
It is a crazy man-made product, a deformed monster that only fights and devours life, a nightmare incarnate. When it takes a step, fire burns under its feet, and the force field energy that cuts through the air crackles on its giant hammer. An ugly mask is placed on its face, and crazy killing intent shoots out from its eye sockets.
It roared at him and swung its huge hammer.
Lothar rushed forward.
He had seen this man-made monster weapon on the battlefield before, and it had killed many of his comrades. But Lothar was no longer the ignorant Lothar of many years ago. In many battles with the elite troops of the World Honored Company, he had learned how to deal with his enemies cunningly and viciously. Especially the modified weapon in front of him, whose speed and strength far exceeded his own.
At the first moment, he threw a grenade at the monster, a large amount of acid splashed, and white smoke came out of its mask. It roared and shook its head. Its eyesight had been taken away. Almost at the same time, Lothar sprayed bullets and fire at its body, but the bullets and fire only left a few marks on the monster's composite armor.
The monster roared and swung its giant hammer. Lothar jumped back to avoid it. He pulled out the force field sword, which was a trophy he had captured before. Only force field weapons could effectively pierce the composite armor. He stabbed forward fiercely, and hot blood spurted out.
The monster screamed and retreated. It was not enough. It had killed countless of its comrades. He fired at the ground, letting the sound of the gunfire confuse its hearing. It had lost its sight, and in the chaotic noise, it was just an animal to be slaughtered.
"Icard, Chan, Flynn," Lothar said, "Do you remember who you killed? I, Lothar, remember them all." The monster's speed began to slow down and his force sword attacked fiercely and continuously, cutting its limbs. He felt its fear.
It began to move backwards.
"Hoyle, Norris." Lothar recited the names of the deceased and thrust the force field sword into its body again. "They all died at your hands. Pay for your sins!!"
The monster's life was slipping away. It was staggering. He was close to killing it. But why was the giant up there laughing, like he was watching a great comedy? Why was Diesel laughing? Couldn't he see that I was about to defeat this monster?
Another piercing blow, its blood spurted onto his face. Bitter and hot. It was dying.
A dazzling pulse flashed high up, and the heat energy was approaching. The monster suddenly pushed him away, using its body to bear the huge energy shock wave.
The heat wave almost choked him. He rolled on the ground. The monster saved me? Diesel's bio-transformed weapon saved me?
He suddenly realized that the moment the monster heard his name, its movements became stagnant and slow, as if bound by an invisible rope.
"Lorsa..." A weak voice came along with the hot wind.
He climbed up. Although the laser cannon did not hit him directly, it caused considerable injuries to his body.
"Lothar..." The monster was calling him. Why did its voice sound so familiar?
He crawled over and tremblingly took off the mask on the monster's face, "Tita?" he whispered, his voice barely audible.
"Losa, I'm sorry." The monster's lower body had been burned by the laser cannon, and his remaining limbs gave off a pungent burnt smell. "My friend, Lothar..."
Tita...
Titta, who no longer looked like her original self, grinned and said, "I'm sorry, I just woke up from a nightmare. Lianna escaped, and Nirou saved her. But for the others, I'm sorry, I can't save them."
Tita...
“…Many people, the brothers and sisters who saved you that day, they were all used as fuel for the Heart of Asgard. I’m sorry, Lothar, I’m too weak, no one can save her…” His stump touched Lothar with difficulty, his body trembling, “Miss Mulley…he had been torturing her, he cut off her eyelids, removed her legs, just to let her witness our miserable condition every day. I really didn’t want her to suffer anymore, so I killed her. I’m sorry, Lothar, she smiled at me before she died, I couldn’t save her…I’m sorry, I’m sorry…”
Tita...
"Lothar, you have become a hero just as I thought..."
"Lothar, I'm sorry..."
He stopped talking. The last breath of life disappeared from Tita's broken body.
Lothar raised his head. Diesel stood high above him, looking at him happily. His face was stained with Tita's blood, which dripped like tears, slid down his cheeks, and licked the corners of his mouth.
He picked up his gun and stood up with difficulty. He was gasping for breath, and his body was almost falling apart in pain. Even with Tita's selfless protection, the blast from the previous shot inevitably injured his internal organs. But his heart was still beating.
I'm alive.
"It's brilliant," Diesel said. "It's brilliant for what you do before you die here."
Yes, I will end up here.
But Xingquan has shown me the way.
…
He barely supported himself and looked straight at the giant on the top. This time, he had no fear at all.
"I admit that your futile fight does bother me a bit." Diesel smiled, "But now, it's time for this good show to end."
Lothar replied: "No, this is just the beginning."
As soon as he finished speaking, several loud noises erupted in the company base behind the giant, like thunder. Plumes of smoke rose one after another. To Lothar's ears, this was like the most pleasant music. "Have you ever expected this?" Lothar laughed, "All your employees could be our comrades."
Diesel glared at him and quickly turned away. He was indeed still most concerned about the mysterious thing in the hall.
In an instant, his figure disappeared.
Lothar spat out a mouthful of blood on the ground. The communication in his ear was rustling, and his companions were urging him.
"Lothar. Come back quickly!! We have captured the position!"
"I'm going to kill my way in."
"Lothar!"
“My friends are all there.”
In that hall.
Liu Xingquan stood in the empty hall, looking around blankly.
This was an incredibly wide place. As far as he could see, countless cables were like dense vines. The floor tiles under his feet were engraved with strange circular patterns. This was a former experimental hall, with thousands of completely incomprehensible devices connected to each other like brain synapses, and each one was a divine structure that transcended ordinary people.
In the depths of the hall stood a huge creature that made him exclaim in surprise the moment he saw it.
“Oh my God!”
"The remains of this planet's lost civilization." The old man said behind Liu Xingquan, "It is one of the secrets that the Shizun Company has been trying to uncover for thousands of years."
Liu Xingquan felt that there was only shock and shock in the depths of his mind. The thing in front of him was beyond all his imagination. In front of it, he was as small as a grain of sand. Although he had heard Sutil talk about this past event on the road, at this moment he was still shocked by the huge thing in front of him and could not utter a word.
This is a creation of God, he thought.
"It was here," the old man said, "that Lothar awakened it."
"Stupid!!" Diesel roared in the center of the hall. Amidst the roaring cables, hundreds of mechanical devices were flashing with the light of thought. And in the hall was the Heart of Asaph, which was powered by countless life fuels.
"Do you understand what you are doing? We are getting close to the core secrets of Asaph. This planet contains the remains of a distant civilization, which contains a force so powerful that it can change the universe. It has been buried in these mountains for millions of years. Most foolish races only see the ordinary minerals on this planet. They have no idea what is the power that can change the galaxy. We are about to be able to..."
"So, for this kind of power, it is right that so many people died?"
Diesel glanced at him as if he thought he was unreasonable, "If you can gain such great power, this little loss is nothing."
Loss? In his eyes, is it just a loss?
"Idiot!" Diesel sneered, "Since you have the guts to defile this holy place, I have a new assessment of your madness. I have changed my mind. I will not kill you. I will make you into a living specimen and keep you as my decoration forever..."
Lothar stared at the Heart of Aesir in the center of the hall. Every time he saw the Heart of Aesir, it gave him a different feeling. Sometimes it was like a ball of slime, and sometimes it was like a ball of light containing millions of eyes. Amid the rumbling of artillery fire and the wailing of alarms, it was screaming and howling. Diesel was roaring at him, and outside the hall his comrades were fighting against an endless stream of enemies.
The Heart of Asgard is screaming. Its voice is like the sobbing of Tita, like the singing of Muri, and then it becomes the crying of others, full of pain and longing. The Heart of Asgard, the Heart of Asgard that burned countless of my brothers and sisters...
He took a step forward.
"Beasts don't understand how hard it is to seek the truth." Diesel smiled, "I will consider surgery to preserve your vision and vocal cords, so that you can..."
The Heart of Asgard was roaring. The overloaded arc light around it was shaking constantly, like scattered sparks. In this hall, he could not see the Star Fountain in the night sky. But it didn't matter, the Star Fountain had already pointed out the way for him.
He threw his message in a bottle.
In just a moment, the Heart of Asgard exploded with a loud noise, and invisible fire ignited all over it. The air around it began to twitch, turning into flying unreal threads.
"What did you do?" Diesel yelled. "What are you doing?"
Right now. Right now.
Lothar walked towards the Heart of Asgard, and the equipment that housed the Heart of Asgard began to collapse. Crack, the broken cables fell beside his feet. The wind was howling. I heard my friends calling me. Without my friends, I would never have come this far. The strong wind rolled up invisible flames and rushed towards him.
Diesel yelled in fear behind him.
It was like a shifting mass of blood and light. Diesel was right, I didn't know for the life of me what it was. But I knew my friend was calling me.
Bang.
The Heart of Aesir completely devoured Lothar.
After a moment, the giant creature underground woke up with a rumble.
Liu Xingquan stared at it in a trance.
It was as tall as a mountain, tall and handsome, and had a human-like shape. Its color was similar to white and silver, which reminded him of the cold moonlight on Earth. One of its hands held a long sword, and the other hand was wearing a glove-like equipment. From Liu Xingquan's perspective, he could see the dense gun holes under its glove. It was a majestic weapon of war, but also like an elegant and calm statue of a god.
The entire giant looks like a natural creation, with no visible joints or casting marks, it is a seamless whole.
He could not speak, for any description in pale language would be blasphemy.
"Lothar paid the price by integrating himself into the Heart of Asgard and controlling it with his will." The old man said, "This was the key to Hope's final victory."
The death of Lothar in the anime. Sutil also told me about it. I told him. My pen pal, Lothar, took the same path...
"Now we have finally got you."
"What's the meaning?"
"This is Lothar's legacy. According to Lothar's last words, you will be its last user."
Liu Xingquan felt his mouth dry. Was there something wrong? His heart was pounding. "Me?"
"Yes, it is you. You are the one who will come as Lothar said."
"But I'm just an ordinary human being."
"When the river of time flows, you stand at the most critical position." The old man said, "Is your drifting bottle still there?"
Liu Xingquan took out the drifting bottle from his schoolbag.
A light suddenly ignited in a device in the hall. It was like a ball of changing light or flowing blood. When Liu Xingquan first saw it, he felt dizzy and dazed. The old man said, "Throw the drifting bottle into the Heart of Asaph."
Liu Xingquan held the small drifting bottle. This was the only bond between him and Losa. Was everything coming to an end now? He hesitated for a moment and threw the drifting bottle in.
The ground began to shake. The huge war machine was like a pale dead bone a second ago. A few seconds later, the surging vitality surged through it. After sleeping for a thousand years, this great creation woke up again. He heard a sound similar to a sigh. The huge silver-white creation suddenly bent down and placed its huge hand in front of Liu Xingquan.
Liu Xingquan glanced at the old man, and tears were glistening in his eyes.
He walked into the hand of the giant.
…
The space inside the giant's body was very dark, and he stood there. Some faint lights flickered in the dark, and he seemed to be above the reflection of the starry sky.
There was a flash of light in the distance. At first, Liu Xingquan thought it was because he had not adapted to the light and had visual aberration. Then, in the light, a figure appeared. More figures also appeared.
In an instant, he burst into tears.
He knew him. He knew who they were.
They came. Her skin was smooth and slightly brown, she had a pair of sparkling eyes and a sly smile on her face. She was Miss Muli, a fellow villager of his who had fallen thousands of years ago. His body was straight, his fur was as red as fire, but he looked silent and reserved. He was Tita, his best friend since childhood. There were many of them. Among them were Homo sapiens and aliens of different races. Liu Xingquan knew them. They were the prototypes in the animation stories. He had seen descriptions of them in the bottle messages countless times. They were his co-workers, friends, brothers and sisters.
Then he saw him. His fur was like moonlight, and his eyes were sad and bright. The stars in the sky shone silver on his body. He had imagined what he looked like countless times. He was more handsome than he had imagined, and more like a hero.
Losa.
Losa.
"Xingquan, my friend," he said.
Liu Xingquan cried, and his tears blurred his vision.
"Lothar...Lothar, I have always wanted to see you."
"Me too." Lothar hugged him, his soft fur smelling of ashes. Then he laughed and said to his companions behind him: "This is Xingquan. Our guide!"
Together they gazed at him with their sparkling eyes and smiled at him.
"I know you. I know you. Every one of you. Losa mentioned you to me." Liu Xingquan choked up while wiping his tears.
"We all know you. Thank you, Xingquan, for guiding us."
"I didn't..." Liu Xingquan shook his head, "I was just relaying the stories I saw and what Sutil told me. I didn't do anything."
"In the endless night, it is you who gave me hope," said Lothar.
"I didn't do anything. I thought you were all dead." Liu Xingquan realized something and said, "Aren't you people from a thousand years ago? Why did you appear in front of me?"
Lothar smiled and said, "We are indeed all dead. Now we are only the remnant of consciousness in the Heart of Asgard. But even so, with the guidance of the light of the Star Fountain, we are still able to meet. Now it will be up to you to end it all."
"The end?" Liu Xingquan was stunned. He shouted, "Those monsters are invading Hope Township!! Hope Township is about to be destroyed."
"Hopeland will not be destroyed." Lothar said, pressing Xingquan's shoulders, "Go, go and save Hopeland."
"I?"
"We are together. The consciousness of the Heart of Aesir will be with you."
The space changed from dark to bright in an instant, and the phantoms around him disappeared.
He was sitting in a cab.
The screen displayed various data, shields, weapons, surrounding environment and other information that he could not understand. But he was not afraid, he knew that the consciousness of the Heart of Asgard would be with him, and Lothar would be with him.
Then a soft electronic sound rang in his ears -
[Please enter the operation voice password...]
[What are the two foods that Losa wants to eat the most? ]
Liu Xingquan shouted: "Tasqiu and Youzi!!"
The battlefield is roaring.
Missiles whizzed over the soldiers' heads. Large flames were burning in the city of Muli. It would take some time for the system to recover. Now the soldiers were fighting for every second on the battlefield.
The monster soldiers were frantically pouring firepower on the Goddess of Jealousy's army. A female warrior fell. General Pamela, holding a blaster, roared at the enemy with death, and several more monsters fell. But they were endless, like a torrent of waves.
"We are surrounded!!" Nevi shouted.
"Need I say more?" General Pamela launched another sea of ​​fire at lightning speed.
"They're everywhere," said another female warrior. "There's nowhere to break through. We might as well kill them all before we die."
I just hope my death doesn't drag down others, Nevi thought.
At this time, all their experience and skills were useless. All they could do was fight based on their body memory. Their once clean armor was now covered in blood. They kept killing the enemy back to back based on their instincts, without any time to think. No one had time to mourn the loss of their companions. They could only use gunfire to carry out their own revenge, or face their own death with a sense of humour.
A female warrior fell down. Nevi tried to pull her up, but the Doombringer suddenly appeared in front of her and almost cut off her left arm with one claw.
"Nevy—" General Pamela shouted.
…
Gamor and Mayor Child were fighting at a speed that could not be seen by the naked eye. She avoided Child's strange attack at high speed. In a single-person surprise attack, she was never slower than the opponent. Unless she intended him to touch her. Child grabbed her arm with an inhuman twist. Well, she took the opportunity to punch him in the face, and the ring on her finger instantly injected the opponent with a deadly poison.
Child's head turned blue-black in an instant. He should have fallen to the ground and died immediately. But he shook his head as if nothing had happened and gave her a malicious smile.
Well, he is a node, not an intelligent person who can make calculations based on common sense, Gamor thought.
She jumped aside and started fighting again.
…
Amidst the flashes of swords and gunfire, Illian was fighting, and around him there were piles of corpses.
He was immersed in rage, he had just lost his adjutant Miao Wen not long ago. Rage washed over his mind, killing, only killing. His body was covered with the blood and flesh of the enemy, and he didn't even have time to clean it up.
At this time, a huge alien army emerged from the black fog. In the midst of lightning and thunder, several soldiers were easily crushed to death. Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it suddenly died. It didn't even stop. It was the Flesh Harvester. The Flesh Harvester is coming! Intermittent noises rang out in his communication channel.
The Flesh Reapers, the most terrifying and powerful biological creatures among the special forces of Izel's aliens, were slowly walking towards him. In an instant, dozens of soldiers were crushed to death like dust. In just one breath.
All the fighters present deserve the highest medal for being able to draw out the trump card of Izel's alien.
It's a pity that I will die here, Illian thought. He raised his force sword, but his sword had been broken, and the crackling arc of light flickered hesitantly.
bring it on.
Bang! A perfect force field sword was thrown to his side and stuck into the ground at his feet.
"Ilian, if you want to die, you must have a better weapon." He walked out of the shadows silently, with a sarcastic look on his face, raised his hand and casually cut a soldier in half.
Shark Tooth, when did you come? Ilian wanted to ask, but then he realized that since the Angry Eagle Fleet had already arrived, it was not surprising that he would show up as well.
Illian smiled and picked up the new sword from the ground. The warriors raised their guns together. Shark Tooth also raised his blaster.
The Flesh Reapers are coming.
They just had to fight.
…
Xiao Zhen is chasing an invisible shadow.
"Who are you?" it asked.
Xiao Zhen didn't answer it. He tried to grab its invisible spiritual tentacles.
"Fool," it said arrogantly, "you can't anchor me."
Xiao Zhen continued to chase it in silence.
"It's useless. It doesn't matter if you don't respond. I will find you soon." It said maliciously, "and then I will devour you completely."
"Just wait." Its spiritual tentacles entangled Xiao Zhen's consciousness like a poisonous snake, "Look, I will locate you. I will eat up all your spiritual consciousness."
Suddenly, it froze for a moment, "What happened?"
The real Xiaozhen turned her head.
Light is blooming in the Tita Mountains. Lightning dances between the sky and the ground.
What happened? The soldiers and alien soldiers in the battle all stopped moving.
Amidst the dazzling dance of lightning, a silver-white giant as tall as mountains appeared.
The rumble of thunder seemed to announce the appearance of this great war weapon.
As the lightning faded, its stunningly beautiful and majestic figure fully appeared before people's eyes.
Every sound it makes is like the roar of doomsday, which makes people feel heartbroken.
It was like a thrilling storm that suddenly descended upon the earth.
