Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 654: Flower of Blood and Bone: Hunting the Sword Bearer IX
"Ideals are sometimes more important than knowledge, because the knowledge an individual learns is always limited, while an individual's ideals are sometimes so big that they can encompass everything in the world.

It is the beacon of human progress and the inner driving force that propels us forward; the ideals we pursue determine the height of our lives.

"Fourteen Incarnations: The Seeker of Ideals"

***********
"Huhuhu~~~"

On the ice and snow, the Rooter Ellie Townsend was covered in red steam.

Her figure loomed in the steam, like a statue about to burn out.

Without the acceleration assigned by the engine, the next time she launches an attack, she will have to face gravity that is more than 1750 times her own.

Just as the fourth sword bearer in heaven said, she could only launch a final attack and burn everything she had!
"For the awakening of the inner temple, for Ion, and for my dear Miss Blackwood."

Ellie muttered to herself, clenching her fists tighter, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Her eyes never left Xia Xiu. His brilliant smile seemed to be mocking her powerlessness. In order to teach this arrogant angel a lesson, she decided to burn everything she had.

[Death Gate: Accelerated Explosion!!!]

The Rooter not only did not stop accelerating his speed at this moment, but instead chose to go all-in and accelerate his speed endlessly.

At this moment, Ellie Townsend recalled the experimenter who had been responsible for testing her abnormal abilities. The other person smiled and said to her:

"You have the potential to approach the speed of light."

Theoretically, the properties granted by her insect arrows are very terrifying. She can accelerate her speed infinitely. As long as her body can bear it, she can indeed accelerate to the speed of light.

However, ideals are beautiful and reality is cruel.

Even with the [Progressive Acceleration Assignment Engine Device] that acts as a physical eraser, she can only accelerate to the third cosmic speed at best.

If the speed exceeds this, the thermal effect alone will be enough to make her suffer.

Mach 50 is approximately 0.00572% of the speed of light.

Near the speed of light…

Unless she ascends to [a miracle], it is impossible.

The thoughts in the foundation's mind became more and more divergent and vague. The random thoughts in her mind were actually just a moment later. Her breathing became rapid and heavy, and the cold air cut her throat like a knife, but she did not waver at all.

Wow~~~
Wow~~~~
Crash~~~~~~
The red steam began to boil gradually, and the heat waves of the steam rolled out, evaporating all the surrounding ice and snow.

Dongdongdongdongdong——————

Ellie's heart began to beat rapidly, like an engine, making a deafening sound.

The huge instantaneous acceleration pushed her body to the limit, and her bones began to shatter under the enormous pressure, making a creepy crisp cracking sound.

Her internal organs were torn and squeezed, blood gushed out of her body, and the intense pain burned every inch of her nerves like a raging flame.

Ellie's vision gradually blurred, and her vision was filled with blood-red light.

She felt her muscles begin to burn in the heat, her skin cracking and bloody.

Her ears were filled with the roar of her own heartbeat, and the whole world was trembling with her heartbeat.

However, despite the unbearable pain in every part of her body, Ellie's determination to hunt the Fourth Sword Bearer of Heaven has never wavered.

She knew that this attack would be her last chance, and she would try her best no matter what the result.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling the surging power in her body. Red steam surged around her, filled with destructive power like a violent storm.

"For...our...future..."

Ellie muttered to herself, her voice hoarse and resolute.

Her eyes were fixed on Xia Xiu again, and that handsome face gradually became clearer in her vision.

She took a deep breath, feeling the last of her strength gathering in her body, preparing to launch the final attack.

The air was filled with tension and the whole world was holding its breath for this moment.

Red steam surged violently around Ellie, and her body trembled under the high temperature and tremendous pressure.

"Judging from her condition, the effect of the next attack will be amazing."

Xia Xiu tightly grasped the "Lever of Heaven" in his right hand and sensed that the surrounding energy had been locked.

The other person's gaze was like a sharp blade, staring at him firmly to prevent any possible escape.

Vashak's time-stopping ability is still cooling down, and this information was passed on to the Rooter by the Caver before his death.

This also made her burn her life without hesitation and prepare to launch the final attack.

The air began to swirl violently, forming a stunning storm that was used to lock onto the fourth swordsman.

"It accelerates itself and the surrounding air molecules, causing the wind speed to reach extremely high speeds."

Xia Xiu looked around. The high-speed rotating storm would create strong centrifugal force and oppressive force.

Unfortunately, these moves that are enough to wipe out normal enemies can only hold him back for a few seconds.

The opponent probably also holds the same mentality, so he now has to use some means to deal with the opponent's desperate attack.

Crackle, clackle, clackle————

"With your ability unlocked, your methods used, and your determination, you are more than thirty times stronger than that guy at night."

The first [Dominator] level enemy Xia Xiu encountered was Mr. Night, and if the Rooter Ellie Townsend in front of him fought against Mr. Night.

He believed that he could kick the opponent to death within three minutes at the first cosmic speed of Mach 23.

At this moment.

The fourth sword-wielder in heaven looked at the blazing red steam in the sky and smiled brightly with extreme joy.

"Ellie Townsend, at the level of the Dominant."

"No one I've ever fought is better than you!!!"

dong dong dong-

This is the sound of the second heart working at full speed.

[Heart Engine·Fantasy Particles——]

"Fantasy Particles: Vacuum Zero-Point Energy——"

Xia Xiu's heart engine began to beat violently, like a high-speed machine, emitting a low and powerful roar.

Each beat sent huge amounts of energy throughout his body, allowing his strength to reach new heights.

Fluorescent green [Fantasy Particles] also began to emerge from Xia Xiu's body. These particles flowed rapidly in the air, interweaving with the pure white light particles to form a dazzling curtain of light.

Thirty-six pairs of light particle wings began to wrap around the pure white angel like guardians.

Mixed within these lights are flickering fluorescent green [Fantasy Particles], like stars, dotted on every inch of the wings.

[God's punishment floating unit·Activate——]

[Broken Spark·Full Wisdom Unfolds——]

Behind the pure white angel with thirty-six wings, three hundred and sixty-five thousand "eyes" opened.

These floating units of divine punishment quickly arranged themselves into diamond-shaped fluorescent green barriers.

Each diamond-shaped barrier is delicate and complex, with a faint fluorescent light flickering at the edges. They are shields made of pure energy.

[Oum Messiah: Seven-fold Barrier of Rings!!!]

These barriers were stacked layer upon layer, and the seven layers of fluorescent green barriers were like a solid fortress, firmly protecting the Fourth Sword Bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Each layer of barrier emits powerful energy fluctuations, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

The energy of light particles and fantasy particles interweaves and flows in the barrier, forming a flowing light curtain effect. The seven-layer barrier is like an insurmountable barrier, shrouding the figure of the pure white angel in a sacred light.

These diamond-shaped barriers are not only extremely strong, but also highly flexible.

Each of the Sky Punishment floating units was ignited with the [Data Fire]. They were able to act independently and adjust their positions and angles at any time according to Xia Xiu's thoughts to ensure that every direction was perfectly protected.

Fluorescent green light flickered between these barriers, like countless tiny stars twinkling in the night sky, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to this protective barrier.

The entire barrier, under the reflection of light particles, formed a dazzling protective net.

On the ice field, the cold wind was howling and the silver-white world was silent.

However, this tranquility is about to be broken by an irresistible force.

Suddenly, Ellie paused in the air for a moment, and then dived down at an incredible speed.

The foundation person wrapped in red steam turned into a roaring red dragon. His body instantly fell from the sky and turned into a stream of light, rushing straight towards the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven who was wrapped in seven circles.

She raised her right leg high and kicked it out from top to bottom at a speed of Mach 50.

The air around her legs roared violently, like torn cloth, and the shock wave spread rapidly around her feet.

boom--------------

The resulting air shock wave spread in all directions at lightning speed. The air on the ice sheet was compressed violently, forming a high-pressure area. The shock wave was like an invisible huge wave, cracking and collapsing the ice within a range of hundreds of meters.

The originally solid ice blocks became fragile in the face of this force and broke apart one after another.

At the same time, the huge heat generated by friction causes the ice near the kicking point to melt instantly, forming a thin layer of water film.

The high temperature evaporated some of the water, causing white mist to rise, like gun smoke on a battlefield.

Even the water vapor in the air was ignited, burning into tiny flames that illuminated the shattered landscape on the ice field.

The seven-layer circular barrier formed by the light particle wings behind Xia Xiu emitted a series of low humming sounds under the violent impact of the shock wave.

Each layer of the barrier sparkled with dazzling light, and fluorescent green [Fantasy Particles] twinkled like stars in it, solid and unyielding.

Although Ellie's attack was unstoppable, the barriers still held out tenaciously.

boom! ! ! !

BANG!!!!!!!

BANG!!! ...
Ellie's kick hit the first layer of barrier with devastating force.

With a loud bang, a crack appeared in the first layer of barrier and the light suddenly became dim.

Dong——————————

Then, her attacks struck the barrier layer by layer, each layer trembling under the tremendous force.

"ah-----"

Under the extreme heat and pressure, Ellie's body continued to suffer severe pain.

Her muscles were torn apart under the high pressure, her bones creaked under the huge impact, blood gushed out of her body, and hot steam rose from her skin.

Her body was burning.

Death was calling her.

And she will burn everything she has!!!
"For... the awakening of the inner palace!!!"

Click~~
Click~~
Click~~
First level: Broken!
Second level: Broken!
The third level: Broken!
The fourth level: Broken!
Under the fierce attack, Xia Xiu's seven layers of barriers were shattered layer by layer.

However, the cost of this blow was huge.

The moment she kicked, the huge acceleration and impact force pushed her body to the limit.

Her bones shattered instantly under the tremendous pressure, making crisp cracking sounds, like dry branches breaking in the cold wind.

Her internal organs were torn and squeezed, the pain pierced into every cell of her body like a sharp blade, and blood gushed out of her body, mercilessly impacting her like a flood that broke through a dam.

Fifth level: Broken!
The high temperature generated by the friction of the air burned her skin and outer tissues into charcoal, her muscles were burned to ashes in the heat, and the pain spread like a raging fire.

The consciousness of the Root wanders in this endless pain, floating in a dark abyss, and falling into the abyss of destruction.

Ellie felt her body disintegrating under the tremendous force, her bones turned into powder under the tearing force, and her internal organs became fragmented under the compression.

The sixth layer: Broken!
"There is... one more layer..."

Click~~~
The shattering sound came as expected, but this time it was not the barrier that was shattered, but the body of the Founder Ellie Townsend.

"This is... my limit. All I can do... is destroy his defense... his reliance..."

Her body was like a piece of paper torn by a huge force, turning into countless pieces and floating in the air. Her flesh, blood and bones turned into fine dust in the air and dissipated in the ice and snow with the wind and snow.

The insect arrow and eight leg bones fell into the ashes and were picked up by Sisyphus in an instant.

The dead Ellie Townsend was lucky because she thought she had tried her best to test the limits of the fourth sword bearer in heaven.

She did not see the scene that made her despair, nor did she see the "eyes" of the broken six-layer barrier reviving after being shattered.

At this moment, Xia Xiu quietly looked at his opponent who had turned into ashes, his pure white eyes flowing with a torrent of data that only he could see.

------------

This is the power of the Thief who stole the Fire of the Broken God, the power of Om Messiah.

The broken six layers of barriers were restored to five layers in just a moment.

The fourth sword-bearer in heaven has thirty-six wings, holds a silver staff in his right hand, and looks leisurely.

He stretched out his left hand, and with an elegant and calm movement, he casually slid it to the left from across his chest.

click-

With this action, the original seven layers of fluorescent green barrier instantly dissipated like fragile glass.

Three hundred and sixty-five thousand "eyes" were suspended behind him.

Xia Xiu raised his head, his pure white eyes were as pure as fresh snow, his gaze was sharp and deep.

His eyes looked towards a void that seemed to be empty, but invisible fluctuations were revealed in his keen perception.

He "smelled" the smell of fear and trembling, the trembling and uneasiness coming from the depths of his soul.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, as if a hunter had discovered prey hiding in the dark.

This world of ice and snow seemed extremely quiet under the gaze of the pure white angel. Only the invisible fear permeated the air, turning into a suffocating feeling of oppression.

Xia Xiu looked down at everything like a god, his pure white eyes flashing with a cold light, and the cold wind around him seemed to have stagnated because of his presence.

Rumble————

The [Infinite Train] that disappeared in the battle in front appeared again, with an extremely ferocious aura, trying to crash into the sword-wielding man.

Xia Xiu just glanced at the train in the distance, then he slowly raised the "Lever of Heaven" in his hand. The muscles in his right arm were tense, and the silver stick in his hand glowed coldly under his control.

With one smooth movement, he threw the silver stick in his hand into the distant void.

boom------

At that moment, the silver stick turned into a dazzling rainbow light, cutting through the sky with a sharp buzzing sound.

The air vibrated violently along the flight path of the long stick, as if it was about to be torn apart by this powerful force.

"Click——"

The silver rod head hit the void, making a crisp sound like glass breaking.

The surroundings of the void also cracked like glass, with spider-web-like cracks appearing.

This strike penetrated the boundary between reality and illusion, exposing everything hidden in the void.

"call out--"

With a sharp sonic boom, the angel with thirty-six wings turned into a white light and rushed towards the direction of the "Lever of Heaven" at an astonishing speed.

His body spun gracefully at high speed, thirty-six light particle wings spreading out behind him.

While spinning, his right foot stepped lightly on the other end of the "Lever of Heaven". With the help of this instant of force, the entire mirror-like crack net shattered instantly, and a dark space gap appeared in front.

Without any hesitation, Xia Xiu turned around and took the "Lever of Heaven". His thirty-six wings suddenly spread out, like a white angel flapping its wings and flying high. It turned into a dazzling white rainbow light and rushed into the dark gap without hesitation.

Wuwuwu————

[Infinite Train] let out an unwilling roar and watched the pure white angel disappear in front of it.

*********
Inside the abnormal space.

Boom——

After Xia Xiu opened the space crack, the scene in front of him immediately became distorted and dim.

He was suspended above an endless stretch of rotten waterway, and the air was filled with a strong, nauseating stench.

The waterway extends endlessly, forming a maze-like structure. The walls on both sides are covered with rotten bricks and moss. Cracks and dirt can be seen everywhere, and corrupt liquid constantly seeps out and drips.

From time to time, rotting bricks broke off and fell into the dark brown water with a dull splash.

The water in the waterway was of extremely poor quality, dark brown in color and emitting a strong rotten smell.

The water was filled with dead flesh, rotting plants and chemical waste.

These corrosive substances cause objects that come into contact with water to rot and rust quickly.

The organism will immediately show symptoms of skin decay and tissue necrosis upon contact.

The entire waterway was in a state of perpetual darkness, with the only source of light being the occasional faint green fluorescent moss that appeared on the walls.

The light was dim, unable to illuminate the surrounding environment. All kinds of strange sounds echoed in the air. Whispers, crying and roars came from the depths of the waterway, which was creepy.

The temperature in the waterway remains low, between 5°C and 10°C.

The air is extremely humid and filled with a rotten smell, giving people a heavy feeling of oppression.

In this rotten space, Xia Xiu saw a familiar yet terrifying monster.

The air was filled with a suffocating stench of decay in the rotting waterways.

Monsters in all sorts of horrific forms crawl across the rotting ground, preying on any creature that comes near.

The first thing that caught my eye were the monsters with more than 20 multiple hands or front claws.

Their arms constantly clawed at the rotting ground, making creepy friction sounds as they crawled.

Each hand is covered with sharp nails that can easily tear apart any prey that tries to escape.

The monsters' eyes were hollow, gleaming with hunger and desire.

Next, there are the monsters with giant, disturbingly shaped mouths or insect-like proboscis.

Their mouths opened, revealing densely packed sharp teeth and wriggling mouthparts, making disgusting chewing sounds.

These monsters constantly devour everything around them. Rotten plants, soil, and any living creature cannot escape their attack.

Every bite was accompanied by a splash of rotting matter and a foul odor.

There are also monsters without legs that grow on the ground like plants.

Their roots are deeply embedded in the decaying soil, constantly absorbing the decaying matter around them.

These monsters have twisted bodies, covered with rotten moss and dirt, and emit a disgusting odor.

They were still, but the sucking sound of roots and the movement of decaying matter was eerie.

Even more terrifying are those monsters with parts of their bodies charred and burning.

Their bodies constantly dripped burning asphalt, and the air around them was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

Any living thing that gets close will be burned by the burning liquid and will let out terrible wails.

The monsters' eyes flashed red, filled with endless anger and pain.

Monsters whose bodies were pierced by multiple sharp objects also roamed in this rotten waterway.

The pierced part continued to ooze out venom, corroding everything around it.

The venom dripped onto the ground, making a hissing sound and emitting black smoke.

The monster's body exuded a strong odor of decay, and the pungent smell made it almost impossible to breathe.

Finally, there are the monsters carrying heavy objects.

Rusty chains bound the creatures to their backs, and the monsters staggered and groaned.

Each step was accompanied by the clinking of chains and heavy breathing.

Their bodies are twisted, and their surfaces are covered with rusted iron and rotten skin, giving people an endless sense of oppression.

These monsters that were originally on the [Infinite Train] appeared here again, but this time their number reached tens of millions.

Behind these monsters, Xia Xiu saw eight incarnations and two members of Team Rocket.

They looked at themselves with hatred and anger.

Looking at them, the pure white angel couldn't help but reveal an even more resentful and sarcastic smile. He said to everyone present:
"Everyone, this is only the second round~"

The arrogant attitude of not taking the enemy seriously at all made the Inner Temple Awakening and Team Rocket members, who had lost their two companions, furious!

Whatever the cost!!!
They all want to kill this arrogant angel! ! ! !

[Hilmi's real-time report——]

[Resources being dispatched——]

[Resource Dispatch VI: Hell of Rotten Waterways (Anomalous Space Project)
Description: The Rotten Waterway is a seemingly endless waterway with extremely poor water quality and a strong rotten smell. The actual entrance to the waterway is located in an abandoned industrial area in ■■■. The internal structure of the Rotten Waterway is extremely unstable and constantly changing. Personnel who enter the waterway report that the space seems to be constantly extending and twisting, and it is impossible to find an exit.

Waterway structure
Endless extension: The waterway appears to be endless, both visually and in actual exploration. The path of the waterway keeps changing, forming a maze-like structure that makes it impossible for entrants to find the exit.

Rotten walls: The walls on both sides of the waterway are covered with rotten bricks and moss, emitting a strong stench. The surface of the wall is full of cracks and dirt, and corrupt liquid is constantly seeping out.

Very poor water quality: The water in the waterway is of very poor quality, dark brown or black in color, with a strong odor of decay, and mixed with various decaying materials, including rotting meat, decaying plants, and chemical waste.

Corrosiveness: The corrosive substances in the water are extremely strong. Any object that comes into contact with the water will quickly rot or rust. Organisms will quickly develop symptoms of skin decay and tissue necrosis after contact.

………………

This abnormal space can be marked through special space magic, and can also be connected and moved through space magic. After the connection, the caster will become the only controller of the space {current space holder: Harold Baker (Food Element Survivor)}.

Application: The corrosive water quality and endless waterways in this space can be used to treat some hazardous wastes that are difficult to destroy. Any material that enters the waterway will be quickly corroded and decomposed, thus ensuring its complete destruction.

It can be used as an extreme form of imprisonment to detain extremely dangerous individuals or personnel who cannot be controlled by conventional means. Due to the endless extension of the waterway and the inability to find an exit, the prisoners have almost no chance of escape.

In certain emergency situations, waterways can serve as a temporary shelter or quarantine area to prevent abnormal events from spreading to the outside world. For example, in the event of a large-scale abnormal event or disaster, affected individuals or objects can be temporarily transferred to this space for isolation and control.

[Resource Scheduling 7: Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copying Machine
Description: The [Super Wedding Photo Copier] is an ordinary-looking copier, measuring 60cm x 50cm x 45cm, with no brand logo or manufacturing information on the machine. There is a flatbed scanning area on the top of the machine for placing originals, and a paper outlet on the front of the machine.

When a photo of the item [Black Wedding Dress] is placed in the scanning area of ​​the [Super Wedding Dress Photo Copier] and the copy function is activated, the [Super Wedding Dress Photo Copier] will begin copying at an astonishing speed. The device is capable of copying over 100,000 copies of wedding dress photos with supernatural powers in one day, which are completely consistent with the original in terms of visual effects and supernatural properties.

Each copied photo possesses the anomalous properties of the [BLACK WEDDING DRESS] photo, including:

Changes in image tone: The tone of a photocopied photograph will change dramatically, similar to dark gothic art or processed nostalgic Victorian style.

The white balance tends to be dark and cold: the various animals, plants, furniture and room decorations in the photo will be transformed into corresponding furniture before the Middle Ages and appear relatively shabby.

Changes in perspective: When a photo contains a perspective, you may sometimes see Gothic buildings or objects such as crosses and guillotines.

Male Alienation: Males in the photographs are severely alienated, becoming more beastly or arthropod-like, and these characteristics are associated with behavioral problems or criminal histories of the corresponding male individuals.

Experimental Log:

Experiment-01
Subject: Wedding Dress Project

Photo copying process: Place a photo of the wedding project on the scanning area of ​​the [Super Wedding Photo Copier] and start copying.

Result: Within 24 hours, 100 copies of the photograph with the same anomalous properties were successfully produced.

Experiment-02
Subject: Wedding Dress Project

Procedure: Place multiple different wedding project photos in the scanning area of ​​the [Super Wedding Photo Copier] and start copying.

Result: [Super Wedding Photo Duplicator] successfully produced 100 copies of each photograph, each copy retaining the supernatural properties of the original photo.

Addendum-A: Inspection of the internal structure of the [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier] revealed that its internal components are no different from those of a normal copier, but its energy supply and copying speed far exceed the level of modern technology. Attempts to reverse engineer its technology have all failed.

Addendum-B: To prevent abuse of the [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier]'s copying capabilities, all copied photos must be strictly controlled and managed. No one may copy or take photos of the wedding project out of the containment facility without permission. Violators will face disciplinary action.

Researcher's Note: The abnormal copying ability of the [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier] provides the Foundation with the opportunity to copy the characteristics of wedding photos, but it also brings potential risks. It is necessary to ensure that all copied photos are strictly controlled to prevent the spread of abnormal effects. Future research will focus on the energy supply and working principle of the device in order to find safer and more efficient application methods. 】
