Chapter 86 The decisive battle begins
At six in the morning, May Parker woke up with a palpitation. It was not her usual time to get up early, but her intuition urged her to do so, even against her long-standing biological clock.
Ever since her nephew Peter Parker went on a high school study tour and the new tenant disappeared for unknown reasons, the house has been unusually empty and cold. It is even too clean to even require any effort to clean.
It is true that the mysterious alien tenant left behind a sufficient number of roses, but in order to keep them clean, Mei had already packed them up and gave them away to the neighbors, for which she received a lot of compliments.
"What's wrong with me?"
Mei rubbed her head and sat up from the bed, her fluffy silver hair passing through her fingers. She put on her reading glasses on the bedside table, slowly got up and went downstairs, wanting to make herself some breakfast.
Until she saw a bluish-white wolf staring at her outside the window, the huge roots of unknown trees surrounded the small courtyard, and there were gunshots coming from the neighbor's house next door, mixed with men's curses and women's cries.
"what happened?"
She was doubtful at first, but soon reacted. She quickly checked all the doors and windows in the house, made sure they were closed, then returned to her bedroom and took out a small ladies' pistol from a hidden drawer.
She had been preparing for this day ever since Peter's uncle Ben Parker left.
Mei returned to the living room, hid in the corner and observed the movements outside through the window. As the ominous branches and leaves spread, the wild wolf guarding it became more and more anxious. The wolf was covered in mist and moved as swift as the wind. It was completely incomparable to the coyotes outside the city.
She wanted to continue hiding because the unknown wolf didn't seem to have any intention of rushing in, until she saw the door of the neighbor's house was opened, and a man rushed out with a gun, followed by a woman holding a child.
She had no idea what was going on, but Mei knew that if they were allowed to rush into the wolf's hunting area, they would be in great danger. Almost as an instinctive reaction, she rushed to the windowsill, opened the window, and shot directly at the wild wolf.
"boom--"
The lady's pistol was less powerful, but the sound it made was enough to attract the wolf's attention. Compared with the man holding a gun, a weak old lady was obviously easier to bully.
As Mei expected, the wolf was attracted by her actions. Mei quickly closed the window and placed her hopes on the decorator of the house. Could he at least stop it for a while?
Obviously, the decorator is not a good person.
The glass was shattered into pieces under the wolf's sharp claws. The monster born from the power of abundance roared at Mei. It rushed into the living room, knocking down the last bouquet of roses left by Yinzhi.
Under the flying red petals, the monster opened its bloody mouth. Mei tightly grasped the gun in her hand, ready to fight to the death.
"In the name of pure beauty!"
In desperation, Mei heard the voice of the alien tenant whom she had not seen for many days, as if it were an auditory hallucination. The scattered rose petals suddenly possessed their own will, bursting out with dazzling light that pierced through the rich evil creatures.
"That's... Idlila?"
Mei seemed to have gotten a glimpse of the goddess who was always on the lips of the knight who was so handsome that he didn't seem like an ordinary person and who was always on his mind.
It might just be an old man's illusion, or it might really be a manifestation of pure beauty's will, but Mei truly felt the power of pure beauty. Regardless of whether she had believed in this star god or not, now she had embarked on His destiny.
Yinzhi doesn’t know all this for the time being.
Although he kept the rose, which carried the power of pure beauty, his original intention was obviously only to preserve the rose's beauty for a moment and to protect Ms. Mei, who was kind and generous. He never expected that such a coincidence would happen.
Monsters are still wreaking havoc in the city. The Cloud Cavalry who came from Gotham are trying their best to maintain the situation, but they cannot stop Jianmu's growth because getting too close to Jianmu will trigger the Luofu people's evil spirits.
Although most of the Yunqi troops who came were new recruits, the average age of Luofu's new recruits was over two hundred years old. They could only cut the branches and leaves growing into the city, but could do nothing about the Jianmu trees that were growing majestically in the sea.
"That shouldn't be the case. Even if the Medicine King secretly stole the Jianmu fruit, how did they make Jianmu grow?"
Another blue dragon flew by, sweeping the rampant abundance beast into the sky. The Chiming tribe was obviously not afraid of the power of abundance. Their immortality came from their immortal bloodline. Dan Heng and Yinzhi took the lead, clearing the roots of abundance that had spread to Manhattan Island.
Nick Fury, who crawled out of the sea, answered their questions. He was fished out of the beach by the Cloud Cavalry and interrogated as a suspect of the Secret of the King of Medicine and Hydra.
"Star core, ahem, it's a star core."
The haggard director of SHIELD held a cup of tea and slowly recounted the events of seventy years ago. When Dan Heng heard that the box was passed down more than two hundred years ago, he completely understood what was going on.
After all is said and done, this debt can still be counted on him.
In the headset, Jing Yuan's voice was low and powerful. He told Dan Heng that if they could not destroy the new Jianmu before it grew, then the counterattack from the patrol would fall indiscriminately on New York.
The specific situation is probably that the God of Covering the Sky and Covering the Sun came down from the sky and hit New York, a good place with outstanding people and beautiful scenery, with all ten levels of passive power.
"Dan Heng, whether New York can be saved depends on your efforts."
Jing Yuan hung up the phone and there was silence in the headset. He knew that this was Liu Yu's intention.
"Yinzhi! Mr. Danheng!"
Jason's voice interrupted Dan Heng's thoughts. He saw the young boy from the Cloud Cavalry rushing over with Spider-Man and another stranger in a disheveled state. According to intelligence, the third person to come should be his adopted brother Tim.
"Are you guys okay?" Yinzhi, who had turned on the boss mode, rushed over and gave them a few layers of shields to heal some of their minor injuries.
"We're fine," Jason shook his head, "but we still let them do it. The traitor came from Dandingsi, and we didn't know about it beforehand. Now the new Jianmu has been born, and we have to eradicate it before it fully matures."
Dan Heng looked at Tim and Spider-Man. After a day and night of running, they were now in much worse shape than Jason. They had just fought a body cultivator secretly taught by the King of Medicine, and they did not look in good condition.
"What did the Yunqi Army discuss?" he asked.
"All those who came here are new recruits of the Cloud Riders, and most of them will be affected by Jianmu and will not be able to approach that sea area, so the brothers plan to go to the city first to protect the people and eradicate the evil creatures of abundance, and first find a way to weaken Jianmu's strength."
Jason informed Yunqi of his plan.
Dan Heng did not comment on Yunqi's actions. He was no longer the Lord Dragon who looked down on everyone, so naturally he would not interfere with Yunqi's action plans. But he knew that Jianmu would mature soon under the stimulation of sea water and star core, and the efficiency would be too low if it continued like this.
He told Jingyuan all about his plan, and Tim and Peter turned pale when they heard that Luo Fu decided to go to New York.
"…So, in order to prevent things from getting to that point, we must dig out the star core before Jianmu matures. Otherwise, the entire New York will be reduced to ashes under the attack of the hunting patrol."
Jason was the first to raise his hand and sign up: "I'll go with you. I'm young, and the evil spirit can't reach me. Among all the Cloud Riders here, I'm the only one who can go with you."
Yinzhi was naturally the one who took the lead. Attacking Fengrao was in line with the style of their Pure Knights. Moreover, he didn't catch up with the grand scene of hunting and encircling the people of Fengrao, but it was good to catch up with them eradicating the evil creatures in Fengrao, so that his trip would not be in vain.
Tim and Spider-Man tried to raise their hands, but Jason held Tim's hand down, "No, Peter can go, but you can't."
Tim was about to argue: "I can also play my role..."
But Jason still shook his head. He patiently said to Tim:
"I know you want to make up for the theft of the Jianmu fruit, but this is still too dangerous. I am Yunqi, Mr. Danheng is Chiming, Yinzhi is from the Pure Beauty Knights, and Peter is a superhuman.
We are all special, but there is one thing that only ordinary people can do, and that is to move innocent people away from this New York that is about to become a purgatory.
The people of New York will not trust the soldiers from Rover, but they will trust you and the Bat Family who fought for Gotham..."
When talking about the Bat Family, Jason stumbled for a moment, but Tim understood what Jason meant. It would be most effective for him to organize the evacuation. If they failed, at least they would only lose New York.
However, it was still a bit outrageous to let Tim evacuate the huge city of New York alone. For some reason, Yinzhi told him that he could go find a man named Kingpin.
"Although I don't agree with that guy's ideas, I can see that he cares more about maintaining his rule than the illusory immortality. The situation is urgent and we have no choice."
As Red Robin, a Bat-hero who is likely to return to the position of Robin after Damian's downfall, Tim certainly knows who Kingpin is. After thinking about it for a moment, he decided to give it a try.
We can't just let him go and shout alone. What's the difference between that and waiting to die?
Tim set off.
Spider-Man couldn't believe that his request to join the battle was actually granted. In theory, he was the most suitable person to evacuate the crowd. Moreover, if he hadn't allowed Dan Shu to get the Jianmu Fruit under his nose, New York would not have suffered this disaster.
“To gather four people… No,” Jason patted his head, ignoring the strange laughter in his head, “This is New York, this is your city, of course you have a reason to fight for it.”
Dan Heng acquiesced to Jason's arrangement, and Yinzhi also had no objection. Jason reported his battle plan to his superiors, and without wasting much time, the order to allow the action reached his jade sign.
"Very good, let the action begin."
Dan Heng made the final decision, and the water-colored blue dragon rose up again according to his will, and washed out a street for the four people to pass through with a roar. The road extended all the way to the sea level, straight towards the towering tree rising from the sea.
