Chapter 442 I Have Friends Behind Me
The boy's black hair was slightly curly and his eyes were like black jade.
The moment he appeared, all illusions flashed into a dazzling mist. He was a raging fire and storm, he was a burning, blurred memory, he was a forgotten white noise, he was a friend of the former Lord of the Otherworld.
Yan Zhen, Liu Xingquan whispered.
Yan Zhen, for almost all the creatures on this planet, this name has no meaning. He has never appeared in their long river of life. But at this moment, he woke up from the bottom of the abyss of consciousness. He crossed the river of consciousness of billions of dead people, listened to the whispers of tens of millions of souls, and finally arrived here - his friend's dream.
Countless souls whispered, but they did not know the meaning.
At this moment, the gods fell silent.
Only the wings of the Dead Dragon, who called himself the new god, made a flapping sound as if struggling and gasping.
"Yan Zhen!" Liu Xingquan shouted again.
His friend showed a familiar smile, "Great hero Liu Xingquan, I'm back."
Ten thousand words that he wanted to express, ten thousand uncontrollable joys and excitement, came to his lips but turned into only one sentence. Liu Xingquan said:
"You're back too late!!"
"The world was about to end before I left, and it's still about to end now," Xiao Zhen said, "Please call it just right."
"I knew you wouldn't be eaten by this dragon!" Liu Xingquan shouted happily, "So what about Mr. Cat?"
Xiao Zhen paused. "I don't feel it." He clenched his fists and whispered, "I can't feel it anywhere."
"Mr. Cat?" A rumbling voice came from the sky and earth. "How many times do I have to say it? That guy is gone. He is no longer in this dimension of the universe."
The two boys turned and looked behind them.
The Necromancer was like a huge solidified shadow. It roared, "None of the [Mr. Cat] you relied on was true. Everything it said was false. What it wanted was nothing but endless nothingness. I have completely driven it away just now."
Xiao Zhen said, "Mr. Cat may hide things sometimes, but compared to him, you are the one who is full of lies."
"It regards you weak and pitiful monkeys as tools, using lies to force you to serve it, but never telling you the truth." The Necromancer's eyes flashed with a cold light, "Do you know who it is?"
"I'm not interested in its true identity. I know it's just using its most reasonable way to protect us." Xiao Zhen said, "And you, who claim to be a god, actually just want to turn the world into your own product."
Thunder roars.
The sky was filled with shifting images, the Necra Dragon twisting its body amidst the lightning and thunder, and at that moment, it seemed to cover the sky and the earth, and the tide of darkness surged behind it.
There was fear and determination in the boys' eyes, and they did not take a single step back.
“Even now, you still haven’t learned your lesson. You are now nothing more than a shadow in the remaining memory.” The Necra Dragon said contemptuously, “A forcibly blended residue. A weak undead.”
"You farted!"
"Oh." The Necron Dragon stared at him, revealing its sharp teeth through the swirling smoke. "You think you can be my enemy just by relying on the power that Mr. Air gave you, right?"
Xiao Zhen raised his head and said, "Do you know that there is a game common sense on Earth?"
"What?"
"That's it—" Xiao Zhen said loudly: "The more the boss talks, the faster he will die!"
Wild laughter resounded throughout the sky.
The Necromancer changed its shape, and its sharp claws raised a black tide of dust.
This is the only response that is coming.
Fight, or die.
The wind swirled around Xiao Zhen's body, and a sword appeared out of nowhere, shining brightly like the flames of the blazing sun.
He leaped up and swung his sword straight at the Necromancer.
The black mist that lingered around the Necromancer Dragon evaporated like water vapor. The tide-like threads of consciousness screamed and fled, stirring up turbulence. But the Necromancer Dragon was a transcendent giant beast. When Xiao Zhen's sword cut into the beast's longbow-like neck, countless sparks hissed, and white smoke rose from the simulated high temperature in the alien world. Its obsidian-like scales and carapace were not even a little worn.
"Even the gods' favorites can't really hurt me, how can a lowly creature like you do that?"
Xiao Zhen ignored it. He turned the sword in his hand, and the sword light blurred into a silver snake, stabbing at the Necromancer accurately. The Necromancer countered one by one, and the wind of the sword opened up gullies on the ground. Sparks were like drizzling rain, and the sword light was like a dense weave. Xiao Zhen flipped over and jumped again, the long sword humming, and it was another direct attack with a completely unclear trajectory. At that moment, it seemed to condense all the power of space, and it accelerated instantly, completely ignoring any laws of physics and slashing towards the Necromancer.
The Necromancer, who had been at ease, suddenly spread his wings, and with the sound of his wings flapping like breathing, his cold eyes were like a star of death. Just like the feeling when the Necromancer had taken away Liu Xingquan's control of his dream, he once again felt that the Necromancer was eroding the space force field around Xiaozhen.
Be careful!
Before he could shout out , a violent shock wave had already emanated from the Necromancer's body. It was as if time had stopped again, and Xiao Zhen remained in midair swinging his sword. The Necromancer stared at him, standing still, but the black mist around it was twisting and dancing. Liu Xingquan heard a creaking sound in the air, which was a contest of wills between the two opponents.
The black fog was rising like a rising tide, and countless tiny lights flashed in the black fog, like countless pairs of eyes peering at them.
Xiao Zhen and the sword were still suspended in mid-air, motionless, only the lightning was still jumping.
Then, Liu Xingquan felt a slight ripple, which was like a small stone thrown into the stream at first, and then it was like a bomb exploding, and the ground suddenly shook violently. Unbearable high-frequency tinnitus exploded in his brain, which was a frequency beyond human acceptance. Before he could react, he was thrown out by the impact wave.
Dust and fog rolled in front of him, and Liu Xingquan barely raised his head with a dazed look. In the previous fight, Xiao Zhen and the Necromancer Dragon seemed to be unharmed, but a closer look revealed that the area of at least a hundred meters around them was full of cracks. The black fog behind the Necromancer Dragon had also been blown away and diluted without him noticing, turning into a semi-transparent dust curtain.
I saw Xiao Zhen, who was originally suspended in mid-air, slowly rising up, as if being pulled up by invisible puppet strings. There was no expression on Xiao Zhen's white face, but Liu Xingquan could see his knuckles exerting force, and the sword fell in his hand with a slight tremor.
It looked like Xiao Zhen was being controlled and pushed away by the Dead World Dragon, but the sword still fell down meticulously according to its predetermined direction of movement, slowly, with a momentum that could be described as an overwhelming force.
A fire ignited behind the Necromancer. It was the spiritual power of billions of souls, which was now concentrated on the Lord of the Inhuman World. Liu Xingquan seemed to see countless threads burning on its body, and then it suddenly roared.
In an instant, dust flew up, mountains collapsed, and the ground cracked. Countless tiny particles danced wildly in the wind. Xiao Zhen's face was scratched by the flying sand, leaving several bloody marks, but his expression was calm, and his feet stood firmly in the void, as if he was standing on the firm ground. Without any warning, his sword swung suddenly at that moment.
The calm lake water suddenly turned into turbulent waves.
In Liu Xingquan's eyes, he could only see the dense web of sword afterimages. Xiao Zhen had broken free from the spiritual shackles of the Dead World Dragon and was launching an attack. But that was not a swordsmanship that mortals could fathom. In a few seconds of subjective time, Xiao Zhen had already launched countless attacks. That was an unimaginable killing move. Liu Xingquan only knew that with every attack by Xiao Zhen, the earth would tremble.
The ground was shaking so many times that no one knew how many times it had shaken. While Xiao Zhen was attacking, the Necromancer also launched an attack. This huge beast in the alien world was incredibly agile and swift. Its sharp teeth were emitting scorching flames, its wings were like steel, and its claws were like swords. Xiao Zhen was like a leaf dancing beside the beast, and could be torn into pieces by this unstoppable storm at any time.
It was a clash of control over another world, a conflict of rules in a flash of lightning. The countless pairs of eyes behind the Necromancer were jumping like disturbed signals, symbolizing the rapidly operating quantum units.
Invisible shock waves resounded between heaven and earth again and again.
The violent air current rushed and howled between them.
Even a tiny speck of dust that falls into their battle will be torn apart in an instant.
The battle seemed to be at a stalemate. Under Xiao Zhen's high-speed swing, one could see slightly flickering scratches on the body of the Necromancer. Similarly, under the fierce attack of the Necromancer, Xiao Zhen's face and body were also left with scars. Impact and impact, thinking creations collided with each other, and the amazing damage caused by simulation calculations kept flashing.
In this constantly surging energy turbulence, Liu Xingquan could feel that they were accumulating damage to each other.
This is a long-lasting endurance competition.
This was not a battle that ordinary people could participate in. Liu Xingquan clenched his fists, and the pain in his body was slowly leaving him.
In this stalemate, Necromancer suddenly spoke up: "What did that guy do to you?"
Xiao Zhen glanced at him.
Then a violent shock wave hit head-on.
"That's impossible." Although he was speaking, the Necromancer's attack was not slowed down at all. "That guy's partition should only give you a little ability. I am no longer the same as before. An inferior mixed shadow can't hurt me at all!" There was a faint mottled light flashing on its body, which represented the disintegrating thought form. There was no doubt that it was the damage caused by Xiaozhen, and it made the Necromancer feel a little threatened.
"Yes, why?" Xiao Zhen repeated, and the turbulent sword wind stirred up a surging offensive.
"Even if it is in its prime, it may not be able to do this." The Necrotic Dragon said, and a hazy halo ignited on its body. Ripples of calculations were rippling in the alien world, and Liu Xingquan vaguely sensed that it was performing calculations and running the logical program in front of it.
【……】
An almost uncontrollable emotion suddenly erupted in the space.
"Oh, did you see that?" Xiao Zhen said, "You realize it now?"
【……】
Xiao Zhen stepped into the void, the sword light flickered beside his face, "Mr. Air sealed you and made you fall into a deep sleep in the form of oblivion. So you asked Liu Xingquan to go back and observe to wake you up. But have you ever thought that what Liu Xingquan observed might just be the appearance that Mr. Air wanted you to see, and it might not be completely true?"
【……】
"You did tear me into pieces. When you recast me, do you think Mr. Air, who sealed you at the cost of himself, would have the energy to give me some of his authority?" Xiao Zhen's sparkling black eyes were filled with a mocking smile. "You tied yourself to the key and used my life to kidnap Mr. Air, but didn't you think that Mr. Air would use the same method?"
【……】
"Yes, I am closely connected with you." Xiao Zhen's tone was filled with disdain, "Ah, maybe I am your other side in a sense now."
"hateful!!"
A roar shook the entire alien world. At that moment, the sky and the earth almost collapsed.
"You stole my power!"
The violent shock wave hit Xiao Zhen again, and ripples appeared around Xiao Zhen, spreading the surging power like ripples. "Do you think I want it? Weren't you happy to turn into me and beat Mr. Cat?"
"Damn thief!!"
"You are a thief who wants to steal the world, so you have no right to criticize me."
The energy rushed through the space like the breath of an angry Necralisk. The air between the two of them instantly rose and evaporated, and they seemed to flicker and burn together.
Light and shadow struggled and twisted, and in an instant the sky was split into two, one side was as blue as the sky, and the other side was as blood-red as purgatory.
Xiao Zhen and the Necron Dragon turned into interlaced shadows, and the afterimages intertwined and changed, playing a wild dance between the dragon slayer and the dragon.
"You cannot defeat me," Necromancer said. "Your power comes from me, so there is no chance of victory."
"Same here. I now have the same abilities as you, and you can't defeat me." Xiao Zhen said, "But, I now have one more thing than you."
He raised his sword and shouted: "I have friends behind me!"
I have friends behind me.
His words resounded throughout heaven and earth.
Liu Xingquan responded: "That's right."
The sound of war songs cut through the air.
Like the light of dawn rising slowly.
It was like an invisible heat wave rushing towards the earth.
Countless figures emerged from behind the young man. Lothar's flag once again flew over the battlefield. The warriors who fought in the Land of Hope a thousand years ago held their weapons in their hands, cutting through the waves like the bow of a ship, and marched forward courageously.
"For the light of Star Spring!!" the warriors shouted.
On this battlefield beyond the real dimension, Xiao Zhen is no longer fighting alone.
They sang together.
They rushed towards the huge dragon like a raging wave, and in a blink of an eye, the army surrounded the Necra Dragon. The Necra Dragon was so huge that the tallest warrior could only see its scaly claws when he looked up, but no warrior retreated.
The rain of gunfire danced on the Necromancer's body, and black fog surged around it.
"Insect!" the Necron Dragon roared, and swung its claws away.
Amid a tense exclamation, at least one group of soldiers was lifted up, their figures evaporated in the raging flames. Then another group of charging assault troops disappeared.
The battlefield was full of turbulent energy flashes. If you were distracted for a moment, you would be torn apart immediately. Liu Xingquan watched as familiar warriors were trampled under the feet of this hateful Necromancer. Every time a person disappeared, Liu Xingquan could clearly sense a bright spot disappearing in his mind network.
Yan Zhenzhen turned into light and shadow, lingering around the Necromancer Dragon. He was trying his best to suppress this terrifying enemy.
Hot sweat dripped down Liu Xingquan's cheeks, and the intense pain began to invade his whole body again. Another group of soldiers fell in front of him. It was as if a hole was dug out of his mind. The invasion of the Necromancer made his brain buzz with pain.
No, not enough.
I know it's not enough.
"Insects." The Necron's furnace-like eyes turned towards him.
Is he next?
At that moment I felt difficulty breathing, and at that moment I was so scared that I could hardly move.
Yan Zhen was yelling at him to get out of the way quickly.
He remembered.
He couldn't help but smile.
From the beginning of this voyage to his transformation into the Green Observer, he had always been pushed forward. He was pushed forward by Yan Zhen, Captain Ban, and Mr. Cat, and he was carried out on his journey with the flow.
I have never been a real savior. Whether in the past or now, it is always my friends who really fight.
Why would such an ordinary "me" end up here today?
His heart seemed to be filled with a bright light.
Just because from the beginning to this moment, this journey illuminated by the stars in the sky has never been meaningless.
Ha ha--
He gathered all his thinking abilities.
The neural units were on the verge of collapse due to the impact of information overload, and it seemed as if billions of cells were burning in the illusion.
My journey has not been in vain.
There is no need for any great reason to save the world, but simply because those living people once existed and fought.
Then, thunder exploded in the air.
A flash of lightning.
This is the moment when the stars descend, and it is also the time when miracles appear again.
His smooth and beautiful wings were slightly folded, and the elegant light of the sky was reflected on his body.
He is the first prince of Xiyiqi.
That is the wandering soul of Xiyiqi, wandering lost in countless paths.
The moment his magnificent figure appeared, the noise on the battlefield seemed to calm down in an instant.
Behind him was Qisina, the genetic scientist who was pursuing the truth about the epidemic until her death. On the other side was his friend Ovitz and the child Xiao Wei.
"It's time to settle accounts with the Black Box Society's sins." Prince Alsiel said loudly.
Thousands of ghostly figures appeared on the stage. They were the mournful shadows of the thousands who died from the crimson mutation, the unfortunate souls of Xi Yiqi. They stepped forward from the thousands of threads of consciousness, carrying an overwhelming pressure.
"Liquidation!"
"Liquidation!"
"Liquidation!"
Light was born in the darkness, and the remaining memories were filled with cold anger. Then, the weak, exploited, and once ignored consciousnesses descended like falling stars, stepping on the quantum programs used to extract computing power.
They roared in unison. Wherever their roars reached, the dark tide of the Necromancer's dragon was disintegrated one by one by the angry ghost amid screams and flashes. It was a miracle that could only be born in dreams and memories, and it was the journey of the last bit of consciousness of the dead to return under the guidance of a young man.
Liquidation. Liquidation.
They had been manipulated by the self-proclaimed omniscient and omnipotent God, and now was the time for revenge.
"You insects!!"
The warriors of Hope raised their weapons high, and the undead of Xiyiqi bit at the rolling black tide.
The Necra Dragon was now completely surrounded by the rain of light from the artillery fire. The energy ammunition crackled on its scales, and more and more cracks appeared on its body, with wounds that could not be fixed flashing everywhere.
Xiao Zhen jumped and danced beside it, waving a sword, cutting its body one by one.
Liu Xingquan and everyone else sang war songs and sprayed bullets from their weapons at the dead dragon. Soldiers kept falling and undead spirits kept disappearing, but this only aroused more rage. Liu Xingquan had forgotten how to deploy and deal with the battle. Everything he saw now was his instinctive reaction. Attack, attack, that was the only concept left in his mind.
He didn't know how long he had been fighting, and time seemed to have completely lost its meaning.
The damage they caused was negligible to the Necradrake.
But in the evenly matched stalemate between Yan Zhen and the Dead World Dragon, their tiny damage was breaking this delicate balance.
It is already scarred.
Xiao Zhen was also in a state of disgrace. His clothes were cut to shreds, and blood could be seen dripping from his fingers and feet, flying in the wind.
However, there was a vague and deep gap in the lower abdomen of the Death Dragon. Countless scale fragments were falling off, and the cracks were expanding silently.
We were about to win. It wasn't his imagination.
It was their insignificant attacks that changed the course of the battle.
We are about to win!
Lothar shouted.
Prince Alsiel shouted.
his father shouted.
Countless wandering souls in memories shouted like this.
But in an instant, it suddenly let out a roar that was enough to tear the sky apart.
The warriors surrounding it were all blown away. The wild energy expanded wildly in the space.
Everyone was thrown away from their original positions by the rushing energy flow.
Waves of impact rolled up heat waves like a supernova explosion.
Only Xiao Zhen still stood firmly in the void.
It suddenly laughed.
It laughed and said, "Do you think you have the upper hand now?"
Xiao Zhen said, "Do you mean that you have been beaten up from just now until now?"
Necromancer said, "Do you think you have won? But have you ever thought about what the situation is like in the outside world?"
Xiaozhen didn't say anything.
"The Sentinels are all under my control. They are devouring Xi Yiqi." The Necromancer smiled and said, "What a pity! Even if you hold out against me here, it will not help the development of the situation outside."
"More importantly, you and I are connected to each other. You and I are like a mirror. I can't defeat you, but you can never defeat me either." The Necrotic Dragon said, "Similarly, my demise also means your demise." It looked at Liu Xingquan lying on the ground with a mocking look, "Next, are you going to attack with all your strength?"
What was he talking about? My heart stopped beating at that moment.
"Yan Zhen, is what he said true?" Liu Xingquan shouted.
"Those who should leave should leave. This is what you should do."
"So this is what's annoying," Xiao Zhen whispered.
"Yan Zhen?"
Xiao Zhen looked at him and he made a gesture.
Liu Xingquan felt himself being lifted up by a gentle breeze.
"Thank you. But now it's time to go where you are supposed to go." Xiao Zhen said, "I will deal with the Necron Dragon one-on-one to resolve the remaining matters."
"Yan Zhen?"
Liu Xingquan was horrified to find that he was being pushed away from this strange place.
The moment he was pushed away, Xiao Zhen's body ignited with brilliant light, and his figure slowly unfolded like a cloak. In an instant, the boy grew into a tall, black-haired young man. His hair was slightly curly, and his eyes were like black jade. That was the self-evolution that could only be glimpsed in the illusion.
"Although that cat is a jerk, it's still right to trust it in some things." Xiao Zhen, the adult form of Yan Zhen smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I will be back soon."
"Yan Zhen——"
The vision turned into white light, and Liu Xingquan was pushed away from the strange world.
