Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 267 The Dust Settles

The crazy battle that affected the whole city ended in the early hours of this morning.

The hottest topic in the near future will definitely be the mighty demon in the sky, and his terrifying strength that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Shortly after the battle ended, a new trending thread appeared in the academy forums.Enthusiastic citizens found several members who were believed to be "dead" or "missing" in the Thorn District in the ruins, which made the rumor that the devil was a serial killer unfounded.

And even without this emerging evidence, people would no longer believe what Aurus said.Because everyone saw the battle of the Majin.When a man can literally destroy a city and take countless lives with ease, it's a big joke to say he's sneaking up and killing people in alleys.

People talked about the power of the demon and his last declaration, but few paid attention to those enemies who were defeated by him.At best, it's just a daring thing to say, and it seems that the High Crown is not as righteous as he himself appears... That's all.After all, they are as powerful as the Supreme Crown who can fight against the devil, and they can't afford to offend them either.

But those defeated losers have completely different ideas.

·
Aurus didn't know when he woke up.

The person has already had astigmatism, and it seems that someone has given him first aid.At this moment, the power of the Supreme Crown was completely lost, and he was struggling on the ground... like an ugly bug, struggling pitifully on the dirty mud.

"You don't look well, little Aurus."

Aurus struggled to raise his head, Hongyiqing Hadrian stood not far away, looking down at him who was crawling on the ground.Hadrian still had that kind smile on his face, as if he didn't care about everything last night.

Aurus fell into the abyss.

"Dear... Mister Hadrian. I, I'm sorry..."

"There is nothing to be sorry for, little Orus." Hong Yiqing waved his hand, "You did a good job! Thanks to your help, we have completed the stability test of the final sword, and the effect of the seal is gratifying. are trustworthy.”

Aurus' lips were as white as a fish out of water.

"...stability, testing?"

"If you knocked the boy down, or let him go berserk, we'd have to say 'It turns out that the bearer of the sword of the end lacks the strength and stability necessary to keep the sword, and we have to take urgent action in the interest of the general public. measures to select a safer custodian, or return it to the Kingdom of Morton for support.'”

Like an old grandfather, Hadrian told the child about the twists and turns: "If the boy overcomes all difficulties, even if you push him to this extent, the sword of the end will not break free. We will Happy to announce that 'the wielder of the sword of the end is reliable, strong, and powerful enough to bear the burden, we can rest assured to see the situation.' This is, I would say, a result that most people would like to hear."

Aurus's mind was a mess.In a trance, he realized that he was like a monkey in a small suit, squeaking and dancing on the table, thinking that he was negotiating with the humans across the table, but he didn't know that they were laughing at his funny behavior.

"So this is, this is..." he was incoherent.

Hadrian looked at him benignly.

"Child, you seem to think that two people talking face to face in the room can become a conspiracy that no third party will know. But for those who have an overview of the overall situation, there have never been any secrets in this world."

Aurus was speechless.

Hadrian stroked his beard and said, "Let's get down to business, and instead of talking about the boring things about adults, let's talk about you, little Aurus.

You contacted all the forces in advance, made backup plans one after another, used public opinion to create advantages for yourself, and even made special targeted attacks for the enemy.You also took advantage of the wheel battle, in order to secure the chance of winning, you only shot with all your strength at the end.Looks good, doesn't it?

You still made some small mistakes though.For example, you are unwilling to join forces with the object you despise, so you miss the opportunity again and again; you are too obsessed with the perfect victory, so you leave room for your opponent every time; you are unwilling to make even a little compromise, so you will not change The original plan..."

Aurus heard the old man say peacefully: "But none of this matters, child. It's all trivial. There's only one real mistake you've made."

"—you don't have enough strength."

Aurus looked at the old man blankly, like a student who couldn't understand the class.

"This world is very simple, child! The rules that support the world's operation are much simpler than you imagine."

Hadrian said lightly: "Take this for instance... that grey-haired boy of the empire, in every respect, looks far inferior to you. He has no plan, he is confused, he is exhausted, But why did he win in the end? Because he is more powerful than you, because he is stronger!"

Whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is an empire or a republic, it is as simple as that.

Always the strongest wins.

The brown-haired boy's eyes widened a little bit, and he shouted frantically: "Please! I implore you, allow me to practice Brahma--"

"The child who wins has a prize, but the child who fails has no reason to get a reward. Due to the special nature of the most dangerous dragon species, you are not allowed to practice the Brahma method."

Hadrian took a step and walked past Aurus.

"Want to become stronger? Then think of other ways by yourself, little Aurus."

Hadrian left.

The sun gradually rose, and the sun shone on Aurus's back.The boy's face was shrouded in shadows with light behind him.

·
Badman leaned against the wall, smiling miserably.

The skeleton grabbed his collar and shouted with unprecedented madness: "Tell me the truth, Badman!!"

all right.It's all over.This time everything went wrong.

When Badman thought of John's expression after all the confessions, he felt that the world was so fucking fucked up.Another mistake, and everything he held dear was gone.

But he knew that one day would come.He was mentally prepared.

"Okay, boss, let me say." Badman said with a wry smile, "actually I—"

The Marauder stopped talking.

A force bound his heart and fixed his mouthpiece, preventing him from even uttering a complete sentence.He suddenly remembered the night he had contact with Aurus, the agreement Aurus gave him.Badman signed the impermanence agreement, and he couldn't reveal the secrets about this operation...including the reason for killing himself!He cannot tell the truth to the skeleton unless he kills himself!
"Haha...hahaha!"

"Badman!"

Badman laughed again, laughing amid the skeletal roar.

How could he do it wrong again and again?How could he be so stupid as to make the worst choice every time?The boss has said it a long time ago, hasn't he? He has said that the scum of Aurus can't be with him.But he still took the initiative to find the highest crown... He persuaded the boss to participate in the action... In the end, it was his actions that made him go to a dead end.

From the beginning to the end, he dug a hole for himself, and even filled his own grave with the last bit of soil.

"I said, Boss, I said." Badman said with a smile, "Actually, I just want their abilities. I have been coveting them for a long time, but you don't approve. If Kova breaks a good thing, I will kill it. so."

The skeleton stared at him in shock.

"you--"

Badman grabbed the skull and threw him to the ground.

"I told you, John, I don't want to fuck anymore." Badman said with a smile, "What a pity! This operation failed, and Deathwing has completely become a broken place with no future. I'm going to find another source!"

The skeleton got up from the ground, howling like a wild beast and pounced.

"Badman—!!"

The Marauder knocked him unconscious with a single punch.He laughed and walked out of the room, yelling at the curious eyes of the gangsters.

"I'm quitting! This broken organization and idiot have no way out. From now on, I will establish my own school and be my own boss! Those who want to change their ways can follow me, and those who don't want to go can accompany the idiot X Skull waits for death!"

The Predator laughed wildly: "Everyone is so fucking good to get together! Hahahahahahahaha!"

He remembered Rakshasa's words.It is one's own fault, one's own fault.So fucking apt.

Badman laughed louder and louder, unable to stop, laughing like a funny clown.

"A bunch of bastards!"

The time was the morning after the demon ruled the sky, and the location was the 66th floor of the Cangshou General Office Building, which had been repaired urgently. The current officials from various departments of the empire stood in a row like students, with their heads drooping and their eyebrows lowered. It was pleasing to the eye to listen to the roar echoing in the entire space.

Mr. Qin is cursing.

"What I saw and heard in a week opened my eyes! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have imagined that the sky would be rotten like this! What is the majesty of the government, and what is the face of the empire?! Thanks to you all You still have the face to wear this official robe and work in this place majestically!"

The unlucky guy standing in the first row wiped the spittle off his face, and said to himself that the big guy tried his best, but Hong Yiqing was pressing on it, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't get out of this building...

As for the 42 people who came out privately last night?It is estimated that since last night, no one will be able to see them again.

Mr. Qin's reprimand lasted about four to ten minutes. He finally emphasized: "...Public security is the top priority! The upgrade of security personnel's equipment, the formulation of relevant laws and regulations, and the cooperation of various departments must be promoted simultaneously. The Kingdom and the United States are different. If you cooperate, find a way to get them to cooperate!"

"Yes!"

The ministers saluted together and filed out.Qin An took a sip of tea and said angrily, "Come in."

The door of the office opened again, and several elderly people dressed in styles similar to Qin An walked in, stood up, bowed their heads in shame and said, "Grandpa."

Qin An's face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.His second brother, Qin Wu, stepped forward and yelled at a group of juniors: "Do you still know that you are called Grandpa?! We just went to the sky to help His Majesty stabilize for a few years, and you bastards have managed the house like a mess." The smoky atmosphere! Xiaoqian was such a good child in the past, what has he become now! How much have the other children deteriorated one by one? Fucking bastard!"

Standing at the head of the line, the wrinkled old man was silent and dared not speak.A slightly younger (approximately 70 years old and above) old lady at the back whispered, "Grandpa, it's Qin Ming..."

"What's wrong with Qin Ming? Qin Ming's return to heaven, impermanence, and law are both cultivated to the extreme, and he can walk the world alone with a sword. This is the pride of our imperial capital, the Qin Clan!"

Mr. Qin put the teacup heavily on the table, and couldn't hold back his temper anymore.

"It's just that you were defeated by Feitian Pureland. Let's see how you all have become so decadent! What Qin Ming said at that time was absolutely correct. How can a family that relies on martial arts as its foundation be able to stand up without strength? If your mind is not strong enough, all your skills are really useless!"

Qin An sighed and softened his tone a little.

"During this period of time, I have been introspecting. The Qin family is a powerful family of martial arts. There must be martial arts and a family. I have neglected the latter unintentionally. How can I criticize you? These mistakes are ultimately my fault. Not well educated."

"Now that you are grown up, you have the ability to think independently. Young people have delicate thoughts and more feelings. Think about how to properly educate children, how to guide them when they go astray, and how to guide children to follow their own hearts and go their own way. Shouldn't we also support and encourage them?... That's all I've said, you guys should think about it when you go back."

The old men and women all showed shame and said in unison: "Yes!"

The descendants of the Qin clan also left.Qin Wu sat down on the sofa, and said in a rough voice, "Brother, don't get too angry! You say you can criticize the juniors, why are you praising Qin Min?"

"Second brother, you can use your brain." The third brother Qin Wen couldn't hold back, "Isn't Qin Min still a member of our old Qin family after all? Wherever he goes, he wins, that's our face , we taught well!"

"Bah! The names reported are all Mingke, and return to the old Qin's family? Besides, don't we have to remember the troubles caused by this stinky boy?"

"Small belly, you, you are the one who was beaten to the ground by Qin Ming back then..."

"nonsense!"

The old brothers got into a quarrel, but Qin Pingan pretended not to hear it, anyway, it happened every time Qin Ming's family was mentioned.He turned his head and asked, "Where is Mr. Onowell now?"

Qin Wu pointed out the window: "He has been very busy these two days!"

Qin An looked out the window at the ruined city and nodded understandingly.

"He must be very busy! I'll go for a walk first, too."

The capital of the sky is in disrepair.

This is not an exaggerated description, but a plain description.The battle of the superpowers smashed the whole city to pieces. The battlefield started from the thorny area, passed through the center, divided into two wings, and finally ended at the dragon head. Everywhere it went was a mess.The students who emerged from the shelter started a new round of gambling: to see which house would survive.

The lucky ones who can have a complete house often live in the back of the thorn area, and the damage in the two wing areas is centered. The unluckiest ones are the guys who live in the central area: many buildings were directly uprooted by the demons and used as weapons.Fortunately, the students have adapted to having fun in the midst of hardship. Anyway, the government will rebuild and not lose money from their own family, so what should be done.

In this chaos, Principal Onowell was very busy.He first hurriedly met with everyone in Cangshou District to express his attitude, and then forced Lena Cecil to take part in the reconstruction of buildings in the city with the price of scientific research funds.Afterwards, he worked with Mo Yuankai to arrange intelligence control, and tonight he had to deliver a speech on the incident of last night on behalf of the school...

The schedule was packed, but there was one thing he had to do.The old principal simply pushed aside the arrangements made this morning, and went to the place where the meeting was held last night, which was once the ruins of the cathedral.

After one night, several tents were set up here and became temporary shelters.The members of the small and medium organizations that were defeated in the Battle of the Church, as well as the members of the three major organizations that were partially routed, gathered here at this moment, arguing endlessly.

"Where is Aurus?!" "What should we do now..." "The Supreme Crown has failed, what about all that he promised?!" "Stop quarreling, Aurus will..." "The Supreme Crown has lost Already!!"

Onowell walked closer without making a sound, and saw a slightly familiar punk boy yelling in the crowd: "The devil...the devil will kill us! What should we do? !"

Onowell found it funny that these young people always behave like the sky is falling when they encounter some setbacks, as if they have nowhere to go.

He squeezed into the middle of the crowd, raised his voice and shouted: "Please be quiet!"

The noisy quarrel stopped suddenly, and everyone present recognized the identity of the bald man.He is the previous agent who was hostile to Aurus, and now the crown has failed, which means...

"Now, the riots are over! I heard you arguing about where to go, and I'm here to tell you the answer."

The faces of many young people turned pale all of a sudden. Onowell glanced at them majesticly and said loudly: "You can go to school!"

No one spoke, and the exhausted social youths and gangsters looked at him blankly.It was hard for the first person to speak up, and the punk youth said dully, "Huh?"

"You shocked?" Onowell asked.

"You...Mr. Onowell..." He stammered, "It's unrealistic, we offended the devil, we...we were on the wrong team..."

"First of all, Gongsun Ce doesn't have so much free time to trouble you children one by one, unless you continue to do evil in the future." Onowell walked up to the young man and helped him straighten his collar, "Secondly, you really did something. Wrong choice. Even if you are incited by those words with evil intentions, you have indeed gone astray-but so what?"

He patted the young man on the shoulder and said to everyone.

"You are still young! One failure will not ruin your life, you still have a chance to get back on the right track. Like I said before, you can come out of these so-called 'organizations' and go to school to learn Get something, go to the society to participate in work, and find the possibility of living a new life. This is the right you already have, and it only belongs to young people!"

"But..." Punk said incoherently, "no school would...no school would..."

"I am Principal Onowell." Onowell said calmly, "One-third of the schools in the central area were invested and established by me. The opportunity to learn will always exist, even in the capital of the sky .”

There were sporadic cries among the young people, and the punk boy covered his face with all his strength, saying with great shame and gratitude.

"Thank you... thank you, teacher..."

Onowell was relieved.There are still many things to do, but at this moment, he really feels that his "task" has come to an end.

Aurus Otimemis was missing, but he didn't have the urge to investigate further.In the final analysis, whether it is the "Supreme Crown", "Skeletal Head", "Predator", or the "hero" and "devil" who stand with him, they are all children in his eyes.

Adults don't care as much as children.
