Chapter 330: Lifesaver No. 2
For a snake that holds its tail in its mouth, its head is its tail, its beginning is its end.
March 26, 1999, the first day Li Qing was born.
16:53, in Naples.
This city had just suffered a brutal biological attack not long ago.
A patrol team of the US Sixth Fleet suffered heavy losses in a biological and chemical attack, and ground teams and armed helicopters sent to the scene for support have already set off.
Near the accident site...
Diablo just had an unpleasant encounter with Lee Sin.
Although the weak Lee Sin was pinned to the ground and beaten by the Crimson King the entire time, this treacherous and cunning guy used the trick of deceiving the wounded American soldiers and used the Golden Bell Cover to escape.
Not only that, Li Qing also openly identified Diablo as a terrorist, and diverted the blame to the US military to help slow down Diablo's steps.
Diablo completely exploded in anger.
He snatched an armored vehicle from the Americans like a warrior cutting grass, and drove the armored vehicle, using [Time Cut] continuously to chase Li Qing regardless of the consumption.
During this time, Li Qing was completely unaware of Diablo's approach.
He just kept running forward and was about to be caught up by Diablo.
“Success!”
"Destiny will change here!"
At this moment, Diablo squeezed out the last bit of his mental strength:
"No one can stop me, Diablo—"
“No one!”
As soon as the words fell... the earth shook violently.
Mount Vesuvius roared.
Mother Earth sneezed, and the sky was full of fire.
※※※
Just now, when Diablo was using the time-slashing skill, he didn't notice at all... On the roadside not far from him, two blurry figures suddenly appeared from the void.
That's Diablo and Lee Sin, they are from the future.
At this moment, the past Diablo is madly chasing the past Lee Sin.
Lee Sin, who comes from the future, is also determined to completely defeat Diablo.
"The process of crossing is over."
Li Qing could feel that his body had returned to its original form.
There was no doubt that he had followed Diablo back to a certain time and place in the past.
But Li Qing didn’t have time to figure out where he had returned to.
His perception has been firmly locked on Diablo——
Because Li Qing didn't know how long it would take for Diablo's skill cooldown to recover, he had to seize this hard-won opportunity and get rid of Diablo as quickly as possible.
So, at the moment when the crossing process ends and the body regains its physical form...
Li Qing did not hesitate to attack Diablo who was not far away from him:
"Ah, fight, fight, fight..."
A murderous roar rose up along with the whistling wind from his fists.
But before the fist wind could fully condense into shape, the fierce roar coming out of Li Qing's mouth suddenly died out.
Even his fists couldn't be controlled and stopped.
Because, just when he was about to attack Diablo...
The volcano erupted.
The earth shook.
Day turned into night, and the sky above Naples was full of fast-falling meteors.
The whole world is shaking and howling.
Endless sounds came from every corner, making Li Qing's overly sensitive ears buzz.
The extremely powerful earthquake waves stirred up, causing Li Qing to fall into a tsunami of sound waves.
"Damn it, I can't hear anything at all!"
Li Qing covered his ears tightly, and his brain felt a sharp pain.
In the digitized mode, he is a blind man, his ears are his eyes and the source of his perception.
Now that his hearing had been completely disrupted by the earthquake, Li Qing had become completely deaf and blind, unable to perceive the outside world.
Even though Diablo was standing right in front of him, he didn't know where to point his fist.
The earth's shaking continued, and the tsunami-like sound waves still echoed in all directions.
Li Qing was in a desperate situation in an instant.
"Ha ha ha ha…"
A smile appeared on Diablo's lips:
In the end, his wisdom was slightly better.
Li Qing now has only 30% of his health left, and he cannot fight normally while the earthquake lasts, so he can only passively take the beating.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Crimson King can completely destroy him!
I'm afraid Li Qing himself didn't expect...
The reversal plan he racked his brains to come up with ended up pushing himself into the abyss.
"King Crimson, kill him!"
Diablo acted without hesitation.
The Crimson King's figure moved suddenly, and a hurricane instantly arose on the shaking earth.
The terrible storm swallowed Li Qing in an instant.
But Li Qing couldn't even see the enemy's fists.
With a powerful enemy in front of him and every move deadly, Li Qing naturally could not cancel the crucial digitized state just to restore his eyesight.
He had no other choice but to rely on touch and instinct to vaguely sense the location of the Crimson King, and then use a chaotic and crazy boxing technique to protect himself as much as possible.
This crazy and frenzied dance, when Lee Sin unleashes his full strength, is truly impenetrable.
But for the Crimson King, who possessed equal strength and speed, it was not difficult to find a flaw.
Soon, Li Qing's defense was broken by the Crimson King's heavy punch.
The boundless power poured out like a tide, causing Li Qing's remaining blood volume to drop rapidly at this moment.
If he continues like this, he will soon be killed by the Crimson King's punches.
"You didn't expect that, Li Qing."
“Although the process was a bit difficult…”
"But the one standing to the end is still me, Diablo!"
The advantage was too great, and Diablo couldn't help but revert to his old ways.
He shouted loudly to vent his inner excitement, not afraid of being heard by his past self -
Anyway, there is the noise of earthquake everywhere now, and this noise is enough to cover up all traces.
Moreover, Diablo knew in his heart...
His past self would soon face a huge trouble, and he probably wouldn't have the energy to pay attention to other things.
As expected... just as he recalled the fear and horror he felt at that time...
A volcanic meteor with a diameter of thirty or forty meters suddenly fell from the sky.
It was covered with dark red magma that had not yet cooled down. As it fell from the sky at high speed, it dyed almost half of the sky gray and red.
The meteor hit a nearby area heavily, turning a tall building into rubble in an instant.
"Here comes... the lava monster."
Looking at the huge undead monster standing not far away.
Even though his strength is no longer what it used to be, Diablo couldn't help but feel terrified by the horror of this monster.
He couldn't help but recall himself at that time...
At that time, the armored vehicle he was driving was targeted by the "lava beast", attracting the damn piece of meat to chase it relentlessly.
At that time, he did not understand the ability of the meat block, so he made an extremely stupid choice at the first moment:
He chose to use the vehicle-mounted machine gun to attack the piece of meat. As a result, the piece of meat was attracted by the supersonic machine gun bullets, which chased it closer and closer, and it was getting more and more excited.
Diablo almost died at that time.
Although he somehow survived the incident safely in the end, the fear he felt at that time remained in his heart and he could not forget it for a long time.
"My past self..."
"Please attract hatred."
Diablo sighed softly and turned to look at Li Qing.
Li Qing had been beaten to the point where his health was less than 10% and he was not far from death.
If Diablo hadn't been afraid that the speed would attract the "Lava Monster", so he had just asked the Crimson King to slow down his punch speed, Li Qing's situation would have been even worse.
And the earthquakes haven't stopped completely.
Even if he wanted to use the Heavenly Sound Wave to escape, he had no way of locating himself and could only stand on the ground in despair and take the beating.
"Goodbye, Li Qing."
A cold light flashed in Diablo's eyes.
He had waited too long for this moment.
And now, he was finally going to take off Li Qing's head once and for all and defeat this hateful fate.
The Crimson King burst out with his greatest strength, and was about to knock out Lee Sin's last bit of health with one punch.
But, at this moment...
A heart-wrenching wail came from afar:
"Don't... don't come over..."
"Don't come near me!!"
The sound was so shrill and loud that it could be faintly heard amid the noise of the earthquake.
Diablo was silent for a while:
He was very familiar with this voice.
Because the one who made that scream was himself, the Diablo of the past.
At that time, that is, "now", he had been forced into a desperate situation.
The tentacles of the lava beast had tightly bound his body, and would almost devour him in the next second.
But Diablo was lucky enough to survive .
because…
because…
Because of what? ! !
Diablo's face changed, and he was suddenly shocked to find out:
I can't even remember how I survived.
The moment he was caught up by the piece of meat, he was seriously injured and almost fainted from the pain.
He only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be something that helped him divert the attention of the piece of meat.
"What is that thing that helps me attract the meat..."
Diablo looked up in shock and observed his surroundings:
During this earthquake, there was no sign of other people's activities within a radius of hundreds of meters, let alone finding something faster than an armored vehicle.
There was a US military helicopter flying rapidly at an altitude of more than 200 meters, but it was obviously beyond the perception range of the meat block and could not help Diablo attract hatred.
“No one came to rescue me.”
"Won't I be dead if I continue like this?"
"etc…"
Diablo reacted suddenly:
"Could it be that the situation this time is actually the same as the Colosseum on March 27th..."
"I saved myself again?"
Time loops are connected, fate is already determined.
Diablo looked horrified and hesitated:
"Are you kidding me...let me attract the hatred of that monster?"
"I can't use Ouroboros right now. Isn't this asking me to die?"
"But if I don't help now...I will die on March 26th!"
At this moment, Diablo found himself in an extremely embarrassing situation.
But he quickly remembered something...
He recalled the time when he faced the "Lava Monster" with Li Qing as Tobio...
Li Qing threw him out like a hammer, which was a wonderful operation to help attract hatred.
"I see…"
“So this is the truth of the past.”
Diablo turned his head and cast a cold gaze at Li Qing.
Li Qing was still standing there in a daze because of the earthquake waves that had not yet completely dissipated.
Taking advantage of his weak defense, the Crimson King lifted Li Qing from the ground at this moment.
Then, it rotated, swung, and finally threw Li Qing's body with all its strength in a standard hammer throwing posture.
Li Qing suddenly turned into a high-speed meteor in the sky.
And the direction that the meteor was flying towards was exactly where the lava monster was.
Watching Li Qing go away, Diablo smiled :
"Thank you for saving me... Li Qing."
※※※
"Don't come near me!!"
Diablo screamed wildly in fear.
But the piece of meat still pounced on it. The five-meter-long and eight-ton armored vehicle was as small as a toy in front of it.
Diablo could do nothing but watch as the armored vehicle he was living in was entangled, bound, pulled, and swallowed by the pieces of flesh.
Soon, the tentacles of the flesh covered in lava further captured the body of the Crimson King.
The terrible burns were instantly restored to Diablo's body, and unprecedented pain flooded into his brain, causing his already exhausted consciousness to quickly become blurred:
"hateful…"
"Am I...going to die here?"
He closed his eyes in despair and fell into a deep faint.
Before consciousness disappears...
Diablo vaguely heard some strange noises, like someone shouting loudly beside him, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be his auditory hallucination when he was near death.
But this is not actually an auditory hallucination.
If his ears were more sensitive, he would be able to clearly hear the whistling sound produced by an object breaking through the air at high speed.
And amidst the roaring sound waves, there was a familiar voice shouting in horror:
"Diabolo, damn it!!"
