Volume 9: Fate of Destiny Chapter 44 I advise you to open your eyes and see what true numerical advantage is!
"We have to go down and help her! If we continue like this she will be dragged to death."
On the wall of Star Castle, Damian, who had withdrawn from the front line to recuperate, saw the swordsman alone on the trail blocking the black masses of pioneers who were pouring over, and he shouted that he wanted to go down and help.
The proposal was of course rejected.
Barbara rested beside the wreckage of her destroyed Fenrir armor, while mobilizing more armed drones to clear the airspace and drop explosives far below to block the defense line.
Her thoughts were running at high speed as she said to Damian:
"Liana didn't want to live anymore. This is the way she chose to end her life. You should respect her choice and understand the significance of this sacrifice.
Although we did not fight alongside Mason, the two battlefields are connected. Only if we hold on can we win a complete victory.
If you really have nothing to do, go help your friends defend the interior of the castle.
We blew up the elevator.
But those bastards with teleportation abilities are still infiltrating. We must not let them reach the top floor! Go quickly, Xiao Qiao seems to be injured.
The Kryptonian trio's defenses are also at risk of being breached. Those bastards actually got the Kryptonite in secret! I have enough reason to suspect that they also secretly got the assistance of Mephisto.
We have to send someone to the top floor to help Zack, Franklin and the wizard. It's not enough for the three of them to be there."
"I'll let Raven go."
Damian walked towards the castle with a knife in hand, saying:
"She can definitely do it. Believe me, when she really explodes, she won't be weaker than Franklin. She is my most trusted teammate."
"boom"
Barbara grabbed the particle rifle at hand and fired a shot into the sky, shooting down an optically concealed Hell Paratrooper who was trying to airdrop here. Amid the explosion, she turned around and teased:
"That's your favorite team member, right? Do you like this kind of girl from hell? You have a strong taste, little Damian."
"That's not love."
The little madman argued:
"It's just a good impression! Do you understand? We haven't reached that stage yet, and you have nothing to do now? Barbara! We are at war! Please be serious, okay?"
"It's urgent, it's urgent. Someone is anxious, but I won't say who it is."
Amid Batgirl's increasingly excessive teasing, the little lunatic roared and rushed into the castle, then encountered two sneaky pioneers who were transferred in through earth magic.
Before the two guys could make any move, Damian pounced on them and knocked them to the ground with one slash of his sword.
I can only say that I had very bad luck.
"boom"
Another loud noise sounded in front of the castle. Barbara immediately stood up and looked there. The bombs placed on the trail were detonated at this moment. The dozens of meters long suspended trail collapsed in the sudden flames.
The crazy flames engulfed everyone who set foot on the trail, but such an explosion obviously could not kill the swordsman, and it was even difficult to cause effective killing.
Although the Swordsman has been unlucky since she met Mason, first she was beaten up by Sister Ka, and then she was beaten up again in the World War, which seems to be very embarrassing, but at least in the Star Club, she is the most powerful pioneer without a doubt.
Now he was enduring the explosion and being besieged by a group of red-eyed pioneer rebels for several minutes without feeling that he was going to die.
He had just declared a fight to the death so coolly, and even claimed that today would be his own funeral, but he had not expected that the plan of "killing himself with a borrowed knife" could not be implemented because the enemy was not strong enough.
The situation became awkward.
"Please use some fucking effort. Didn't you have breakfast?"
The swordsman shouted to a pirated Jedi Knight who was thrusting a lightsaber into his armor:
"Who did you learn your sword skills from? Don't you know how to stab the heart?"
"I have to hit the target too!"
The insulted warrior blushed and grumbled in reply:
"How can I assassinate you when you are so strong? I am so sorry for being so weak. Hey, I was forced to come here by my captain, okay?
I had no intention of participating sincerely, I was just slacking off. I am still a big fan of Mr. Mason.
Don’t ask so much of me!”
"Oh, friendly forces, I'm sorry."
The swordsman shrugged, stretched out his hand and punched the guy on the neck, then threw him out of the crowd, allowing him to fish as he wished.
She then turned around and was stabbed several times. Along with the pain, demon blood flowed out from her broken scales. Finally, feeling weak, Liana gave up resisting.
It is impossible to commit suicide.
The devil's contract prevented the Grand Master from ending his own life, otherwise Ciri wouldn't have needed Mason's bullet.
Liana loosened her sword hilt and allowed the pioneers in front of her to hit her with their sharp weapons in a hugging gesture.
She had already drunk the resurrection potion in advance, and used her authority as the lord of Hell's border to bind herself to the concept of that hell kingdom. As long as Hell's border was still there, she would be able to resurrect in her own kingdom after Mephisto's death.
The only regret is that this binding is irreversible.
In other words, after her resurrection, Liana Latimes will become a true creature from hell. Alas, she will no longer be able to be a mutant happily in the future.
What a pity.
"puff"
Finally, a B-level personnel who was strong enough seized the opportunity and stabbed the swordsman, who was daydreaming at the time, in the heart. The attack was accurate and deadly enough.
The feeling of death finally arrived.
The resurrected Lady Liana showed a creepy smile on her blood-stained face. She coughed and said to the red-eyed fools in front of her:
"As you can see, I'm a demon, so I'll be a bit violent when I die... I'll apologize after I'm resurrected, provided you survive.
Please enjoy the magic trick at the closing moment below.
It has a cool name, called Burning Explosion.
Ah, finally, I am free, a misguided soul is free. The first half of my life was dedicated to a terrible and dark cause, and I must control the second half of my life!
It’s decided!
The first thing after resurrection...
Just like Ciri, have a sweet and beautiful love affair to celebrate the beginning of a new life."
After saying these words like his last words, the swordsman turned around and looked at the Star Castle behind him, with the sharp blade on his body like a "weapon display stand".
Among the giant stone sculptures of the Three Masters standing on the top of the castle, the one that belonged to him was already covered with cracks, and the statue of Ciri next to it was already a broken half.
It was a symbol of the three great mentors' power in the Star Society, and it also seemed to foreshadow their fate.
"I wanted to complain before."
Liana closed her eyes and said with a pout in a voice that only she could hear:
"This is too ugly. It makes such a delicate beauty like me look like a muscular man. Tsk, what a terrible devilish taste..."
"boom"
The hellfire erupted from Liana's dying body, engulfing all life within a hundred meters around it in a sweeping manner.
Its scorching power and terrifying energy impact caused widespread wailing all around the moment it erupted. This was the result of the swordsman throwing most of his power into the sky.
She had no intention of killing anyone.
She knew that the less blood shed in today's battle, the better.
After all, it is the day of the Star Society's demise, which is a great thing for all pioneers. It would be ugly if such a thing were tainted by blood and hatred.
The swordsman is a true partner of justice.
"Click"
The swordsman statue above the castle completely collapsed and shattered at this moment. The rubble fell into the sky and was then captured by Harley, who was smashing someone's head with a baseball bat, and took out her Joker Camera at the right moment.
This is a memorable moment. The sweethearts who missed this battle will definitely like this photo!
"The swordsman is dead."
On the top floor of Star Castle, Zha Kang cast a spell to banish several thugs who rushed in to the outside of the folded space. He blew a smoke ring, withdrew his gaze from the window, and turned back to Old Shazam who was holding a staff and guarding the road to the Shadow Land behind him and said:
"You are the only one left among the three great mentors, old man, do you have anything to say?"
"Don't bother me."
Old Shazam pinched his white beard and said seriously:
"I'm thinking about my last words. I'll need them soon. A representative as smart as me can't die worse than that muscle idiot Liana, right?"
"Hey, old man, are you focusing on the wrong thing?"
Franklin next to him widened his eyes and said:
"Shouldn't we find a way to get these increasingly crazy bastards out now? They are just showing off because Mason doesn't allow us to kill more people.
Tsk, if I were to do it, I would turn them all into broken stones and have them stand guard outside the castle... Oh, yeah, why not turn them into stones?"
Franklin slapped his forehead and rushed to the window, raising his hands to release his supernatural powers, causing a large range of reality to be rewritten at this moment, covering the surroundings outside the Star Castle, turning those unlucky ghosts who had just avoided Liana's burning body explosion into stone sculptures that took root in the moment they climbed up.
Not only did it perfectly block the bombed preaching front, but it also captured the terrible and embarrassing postures of these red-eyed guys at this ironic moment.
Old Shazam wasn’t involved.
The old man was just maintaining his silent thoughts, but it was certain that he was definitely not just thinking about his last words.
"Constantine..."
Shazam said:
"Do you know why Mason wants you and Franklin to stay here?"
"certainly."
Zha Kang lit up another cigarette, blew smoke rings and said:
“All of us may be controlled, especially you, because of the close connection between the Grand Master and the devil. Once he chooses to control you, you will have almost no ability to resist.
You will commit the unforgivable with your own hands.
Franklin and I are your last resort. Black Strange has suppressed the soul curse for us so that we can resist Mephisto's orders."
"Very good, it seems you understand."
The old wizard nodded with satisfaction and said:
"I have good news and bad news to tell you now. The good news is that our reinforcements have arrived. The Ronin have come as promised!"
Zack and Franklin looked back at the castle window at the same time, just like what happened in the Osborne Tower world when the worlds merged before.
A large number of light circles appeared at the same time in the distorted space sky where the Star Castle was located, opening a passage to the battlefield for the wanderers scattered across the starry sea.
But unlike last time, there are more people coming this time!
Although the most powerful few Ronin were mobilized by Old Shazam to assist the resistance coalition in fighting in the Hell Dimension, the rest either joined the Star Society to supplement the backbone and were unable to face the devil directly, or were just rookies who were too weak to participate in the big cause, but at the moment when the call for the final battle was launched, they still chose to respond.
Wanderers of varying qualities jumped out from the light gate in the sky.
Zha Kang could even see a woman in cloth holding a kitchen knife, which was enough to prove that the quality and level of the ronin who came to help were really very, very low.
But their terrifying numerical advantage is enough to make up for the lack of quality.
In the first few seconds alone, the number of Ronin who entered the Star Castle to assist in the defense reached three thousand, and the number of fighters who jumped into the battlefield was even greater.
And they didn't just come by themselves, they also brought with them the rebels that the Ronin had been secretly aiding in various worlds.
Those indigenous warriors from various worlds who rebelled against the tyranny of the Council dressed differently, from primitive people to feudal warriors, from lobster soldiers to future warriors, with no unified style at all. Their power was completely useless in front of a behemoth like the Council.
The so-called resistance may be more of a slogan of unwillingness to fail.
But here they come!
They came after Team K and their companions really gave them a chance to join the resistance.
Even though they knew they might never be able to go back, they still did not hesitate.
It is like countless faint starlight, countless tiny flames lighting up in the endless darkness. Not to mention illuminating the darkness, it is even difficult to keep burning.
But when these endless sparks are combined together, when the number is large enough to drown out all countercurrents, even the humblest spark in the dust can gather into a prairie fire that burns the night.
This was never Mason Cooper's war alone!
This has never been a joint battle between Team K or a few heroes organizing several worlds. This is a war of everyone!
Everyone has the obligation to participate in the war, and everyone has the right to contribute to victory!
"For a new utopia!"
As the last aperture lit up, the X-Royal Knights who had been resurrected by the Cradle Project in various Weapon X project bases finally arrived at the final battlefield.
They each jumped out of the aperture with the rebels recruited from different worlds in a sweeping manner, and ruthlessly charged into the positions of the pioneers who were already in chaos due to being surrounded from the flanks and rear.
Not to mention that not all members of the Star Society who were bewitched by Mephisto came here. Even if they really came, even if all the tens of thousands of pioneers of the Star Society came here, facing the oppression of the temporary alliance of hundreds of thousands of Ronin and resistance forces from various worlds, they had no other choice but to drop their weapons and surrender.
They should understand the truth of today at this moment.
"You are not strong! You have never been strong."
The yellow-haired Claude walked out of the reopened gate of Star Castle holding a destroyer sword and shouted to the panicked pioneers in the opposite position:
"You are just weaklings who live on the leftovers of good people but are still jumping up and down without knowing it. The strength you are proud of is nothing compared to the kindness and justice of unity!
Thank Master Mason for his mercy, lay down your weapons, and wait for the demise of the Star Society.
This is the last chance!"
The pioneers who were trapped in the square in front of the Star Castle gathered together, and Ronin and rebels were pressing forward from all directions.
They were armed with ridiculously crude weapons and didn't even have decent armor. Even the weakest E-class personnel could kill them without any pressure.
But the light in their eyes...
That flickering light, that blindingly sharp light, that light of solidarity.
They are not alone.
Under such pressure, even the high-ranking members who prided themselves on being the leaders of the Dark Ages and taking pride in exploration and plunder could not help but bow their heads.
They can easily kill the weak ones who provoke them, kill ten, a hundred or even a thousand of them, but so what?
There are too many people in front of me!
A belief brought them together, forming an indestructible force. The moment they raised their weapons, they would be ruthlessly crushed.
That would be self-destruction.
Mason didn't kill them not because Team K couldn't do it.
Mason simply gave the power to judge them to the people who had been silently enduring their plunder and oppression for the past seventeen years.
He had gathered them here, knowing they would come.
He did not intend to just defeat them, he wanted to completely bury their ambition and greed to eliminate the possibility of the birth of a second Star Society, just as he would bury the Star Society today.
The dark age of chaos is over!
That was never just an empty slogan.
"clang"
The first gorgeous sword fell to the ground.
The first arms raised and knees dropped, heralding the end of the era of the Reavers in a way no one could have predicted.
On the top floor of Star Castle, Zha Kang looked back at Old Shazam with satisfaction and said:
"What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is..."
The old wizard's fingers began to tremble, and he said to Zha Kang with a gentle expression:
"He asked me to... put out Mason's candle, so... you should do it."
