Chapter 562 The Watcher
Two monster-like heads hung on the body of the sea serpent, like bloodthirsty parasites, talking about how to kill this magnificent creature.
Lorenzo and the plague doctor are too small compared to the sea snake. In comparison, they are like ants studying how to kill an elephant.
But this time it was not a false fantasy. The epidemic doctor listened to Lorenzo's words. Although he was frightened, he could discern the slightest chance of winning.
Faced with such a weird monster, even a fleet here will be easily destroyed by it. The anger of industry cannot stop its pace. It is even said that mortals should never confront him/her, but should choose to surrender humbly. .
But... they are not mortals.
Whether it is the epidemic doctor or Lorenzo, it is difficult for them to relate to so-called mortals at this moment. They can be false gods, demons, and monsters, but they cannot be human beings.
They have already embarked on the road of sublimation, moving towards a greater existence. This has never been a battlefield between mortals and Him.
But Him and His.
"Are you sure you can kill him in the [gap]?" The epidemic doctor didn't believe it.
"I don't know. Being able to control such a body, he must be not much different from Lawrence, maybe even stronger than Lawrence." Lorenzo looked at the bright light above and said helplessly, "But besides these, we also have what else can we do?"
"Once the Morning Glory Advance sinks, we will truly fail."
Lorenzo said that exploring the end of the world is not the purpose, the purpose is to return to Inverg with useful information after exploration.
The day-rising end of the sea had become clear, and Lorenzo could see that it was an endless glacier. He needed the Dawn Advance to open a passable channel on it.
"Even if it hurts Him..."
Lorenzo prepared for the worst, as long as he could repel the sea snakes and give them some breathing space.
"Doctor, I need to weaken him!"
Lorenzo shouted again. While shouting, Lorenzo waved his sharp claws and slashed the body of the sea snake wildly, peeling off these huge scales from the edges, revealing the scarlet and hot flesh.
"The body is the barrier of the will. Only if He weakens, the possibility of me attacking and killing Him in the [gap] will be greatly increased."
The epidemic doctor listened to Lorenzo's words, and the next moment the tentacles on his body started to dance wildly. They pierced the flesh and blood between the gaps one after another, and penetrated into it little by little, like roots growing and spreading in the soil, quickly spreading among the sea snakes. spread in the flesh and blood.
"You have to thank me properly this time, Holmes!"
The plague doctor yelled.
Lorenzo looked at the wild dance of countless red threads, as if the plague doctor was assimilating himself into the sea snake, and the tentacles carried his will between the flesh and blood, like a parasite.
Maybe... Maybe there is hope, but this is still too slow. The parasitism of the plague doctor is too slow. With the size of this sea snake, he needs at least dozens of days to completely parasitize him.
"Hold on, Holmes, this was originally intended for you."
In the scarlet, Lorenzo could see a ferocious smile.
Before Lorenzo could think anything, a huge light ignited beneath him.
The Blood Shark collapsed under the strangulation of the sea snake, and the huge force tore the hull into countless pieces. It was also hidden inside, and the plague doctor was destroyed by what Lorenzo had prepared.
A bit of red light flashed in the deep deep blue, and then the light exploded.
The roaring explosion set off heavy waves, and the broken metal shot out under the impact of high temperature, all pouring on the strangled snake. The strong scales shattered in an instant, and blazing white light surged between the gaps, but it was very short. Soon they were covered by exploding metal, and tons of blood poured into the sea, which then evaporated into scorching water vapor due to the high temperature.
A shrill wail sounded, and there was a wave of sound.
All the explosives that the Plague Doctor had placed in the Blood Shark were detonated. They were originally prepared for Lorenzo. After Lorenzo controlled the Black Angel, he posed a great threat to the ship, so the Plague Doctor came up with a plan. This kind of countermeasure will destroy both the jade and the stone.
The two of them have the same purpose, but their mentality is completely different. Lorenzo needs to return to Inverg alive and bring this information back, but the epidemic doctor does not care. He has never thought of a way out. For this seeker of the truth, The end of the world is the perfect burial place.
Only then did Lorenzo realize that the plague doctor was not parasitizing the sea snake at all, but was just trying to fix himself on it.
The violent explosion gave the sea snake a heavy blow. At such a close distance, coupled with the broken hull, huge metal fragments cut into his body like a giant sword. Some were blocked by the scales, and some were blocked by the scales. During the impact, it was covered with cracks and was easily penetrated.
Blood overflowed from the tragic wound, but immediately after, flames rolled under the flesh and blood, and the bright red tentacles spread and entangled with each other, trying to re-sew up the huge wound.
All this was reflected in Lorenzo's eyes. The power embodied by this sea serpent became more and more, which also proved that the degree of its sublimation was far beyond Lorenzo's expectation.
The sea snake wailed and shook violently. It repeatedly slammed the bloody shark's body, hit the sea surface and then rose again. Lorenzo also swayed and was almost thrown off the snake's body.
"Epidemic Doctor, He is injured!"
shouted Lorenzo.
"I know! He'll be damned if he's not injured by this kind of explosion!"
The plague doctor responded loudly, all his attention was on the sea snake.
Now the plague doctor can be said to be eroding the sea snake in a physical way, and the scarlet tentacles continue to pass through the flesh and blood, spreading to his nerves and bones, just like the stomach weed that Lorenzo once encountered, This is the embodiment of the alienation of Power Yanar.
As the tentacles penetrate deeper, the epidemic doctor can feel the abnormalities deep in the flesh and blood.
Scorching heat, the deeper into the body of the sea snake, the doctor can feel the blazing high temperature, so much so that he focused all his attention on it and did not pay attention to the explosion below.
"Epidemic doctor! You'd better take a look!"
Lorenzo shouted again, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.
The plague doctor turned his head and saw the stream of fire flowing on the angry waves.
This was a surprise attack prepared to kill Lorenzo. Although it was finally used on the body of the sea snake, the effect was still extraordinary. Below the two of them, above the middle of the body of the sea snake, there was a huge monster with a length of more than ten meters. The wound seemed to have been slashed by an extremely huge sword, cutting the sea snake, and the blood stained the nearby sea red, bursts of hot blood rising.
Lorenzo didn't think this could be done by an explosion. There was a dazzling glow in the sea below. He saw the iron gradually sinking into scarlet, which was the ramming horn of the Blood Shark.
Under normal circumstances, when using a collision angle attack, you also have to consider many factors such as the stability of the hull structure. But when the Blood Shark was destroyed and sunk, you didn't need to worry about these at all.
The roaring explosion lifted up the heavy horn. Driven by the explosion, it was like a rapidly thrusting lance, hitting the sea snake's torso fiercely, almost completely penetrating it.
"I said, have you done this to kill me?"
Lorenzo couldn't help but roared as he looked at the collision horn sinking into the bottom of the sea.
If it wasn't for the sea snake's sudden intervention, maybe Lorenzo would have been overwhelmed by the plague doctor. Even if he escaped the explosion, the impact of the collision angle would be enough to destroy the Morning Glory Advance.
"Do you think I could have possibly figured all this out?"
The epidemic doctor also screamed. He never thought that the explosion would cause such a reaction.
"This is probably a coincidence at most. If I had this ability, you would have died in Lingbing Bay!"
The epidemic doctor stared down, but the corner of his eyes was wary of Lorenzo. Their alliance was short-lived. After the current crisis was over, no one knew what would happen between the two.
"But... what's going on? Epidemic doctor."
Lorenzo stared at the huge wound below. After the blood was washed away, he could clearly see the cross section of the wound.
Under the scales is soft flesh and blood, the cross-section is bright red, and there are countless tentacles dancing wildly in the bright red. They are pulling each other, trying to close the horrible wound and heal it, but its size is too big. Such self-healing appears to be extremely slow.
Deep in the wound, there were huge bones with cracks exposed. They were as white as sculptures, interspersed between the flesh and blood. Further below was the place where Lorenzo stared. He originally thought that there would be fascia and viscera under the flesh and blood, but he could All that caught Lorenzo's eyes was the rising light.
The light casts the backbone of this sea snake, and now as the wound is damaged, these bound lights are also escaping, they start to fall, and fall into the sea surface together with the blood, arousing thick steam, and the heat is fleeting.
"Is that...fire? Solid fire."
It was difficult for the epidemic doctor to understand the scene in front of him, but the tentacles he plunged deep into the snake's body responded. It was the fire of gaze, the fire surging in the body, and the fire wrapped in scales.
"This is... pure flame."
Lorenzo murmured, and he saw the white light that undulated like breathing disappear between the gaps in the scales.
"Doctor! Get away from Him!"
Lorenzo shouted, he only had time to warn him, because at the moment Lorenzo finished speaking, the starlight rose high in the gaps between the scales.
Extremely blazing heat was released from the sea snake's body, and the entire sea surface was plunged into thick sea fog due to this high temperature. The storm brought strong winds to drive them away, but soon more fog emerged.
From the perspective of the Morning Glory Advance, we can only see the sea snake wrapped in the emerging sea fog, and then a bright light that is difficult to see directly appears in it, as if it is melting daylight. The rising fireworks wrap around the sea snake and converge to In the brilliance of the snake head.
Lorenzo fell off the snake. To be precise, he was forced to fall off. At the moment when the glow surged, invisible high-temperature air waves passed over the snake's body and directly swept Lorenzo's body. Under the instantaneous high temperature, , Lorenzo's body surface began to carbonize over a large area, and the sharp claws that cut into the scales also collapsed in an instant.
The high temperature invaded most of the body. After being supported for a few seconds, the pupils melted into a ball of sticky gel, and then the limbs began to disintegrate. The vision fell into darkness in an instant, and Lorenzo could not see. He saw the situation of the epidemic doctor, but he knew that the epidemic doctor had been deeply trapped in the sea snake, and he might not have time to avoid them.
He could imagine the scene of the plague doctor's body collapsing into ashes. He had seen this scene many times. The sea snakes killed them, just like Lorenzo used the pure flame to kill the monsters. This was never an equal battle. .
Haibold looked at the battlefield mixed with thunder and sea fog from a distance. He saw that the high daylight was rising again, and in the dazzling light, a stream of light dozens of meters thick was poured out.
It was the breath of a sea snake, but it was more like a waterfall pouring from the daylight. It was a flow of light completely made of solid fireworks. Its temperature reached the extreme, and all the materials it touched evaporated in an instant, like Like the power of gods, it changes the material reality at will.
Under the radiance of holiness, all life is dying.
Pure light flow poured into the sea, and the extreme high temperature evaporated thousands of tons of seawater. The rising water vapor formed a rising steam column in the blink of an eye.
The wreckage of the Blood Shark also evaporated under the dumping. Most of the materials were directly vaporized, and only a few metals could persist for a while. They first turned red, and then melted like ice, completely disappearing into the sea.
The surviving humans and demons were also evaporated into nothingness. They couldn't even feel the pain. They were already dead when they saw the light coming.
"Gods..."
Haibold watched all this and felt that his heart had completely lost the will to fight.
He is not one of those crazy fanatics. Seeing such a scene, Hebold's knowledge cannot reasonably explain it. In order to clarify the weirdness he saw in his eyes, he kept looking for answers until he began to become deified. .
Human beings are like this. When faced with something they cannot understand, they can only deify it.
It was the python from the world, the serpent that wrapped around the atrium.
He looked at the corpses piled up around him, and in a trance, Hebold felt that he had really stepped into that sacred residence.
"Endless fighting, again and again..."
Haybold moved forward with difficulty, his mind began to tremble, and finally he couldn't help but say.
"You're right, Ivar."
There were countless corpses floating on the visible sea surface, including those of humans, monsters, and fragments of ship hulls... There were corpses and severed limbs everywhere, and dead lives everywhere. Highbould was bathing in their Blood, survived to the present.
"This is the Hall of Valor... Where is this beautiful home?"
After persisting until now, Heibald was defeated by the depression and despair. He could continue to slash, but facing the god-like sea snake in the distance, he lost all the power to resist.
The tightly held hands began to loosen, and even the folding knife was about to drop.
"Don't let go, Highbould. If you let go, you won't be able to hold the weapon tightly."
A dull voice sounded, like a glimmer of light, dragging Heibald out of his oppressive despair.
He looked to his side in surprise. After a long silence, the Black Angel began to move. It moved slowly, covered with a sword, and came to Hebold's side.
"Lo...Lorenzo!"
Seeing the Black Angel taking action, Haybold's frightened heart finally calmed down a little.
In this depressing despair, everyone who survived could not help but look forward to Lorenzo, no matter how bad and evil this guy's behavior was, in this case, everyone regarded him as the embodiment of hope. .
If anyone could lead them out of the Sea of ​​Silence, probably only Lorenzo.
"Yes, it's me, not an illusion. Hold on to the weapon, Hibold. If you let go, you'll be dead."
Lorenzo inspired Haybold. In such a bad situation, not everyone has the courage to hold on to the weapon.
They were in terrible shape and so was Lorenzo.
In just a few minutes, Lorenzo experienced several deaths, and his consciousness was shattered and reorganized. It was as if a thousand knives were cutting through the consciousness in his mind. When Lorenzo could see the world again, he was already wrapped in heavy steel. , warm flesh and blood entangled around him.
He didn't know whether the plague doctor was alive or dead. Lorenzo only knew that the sea snake was far more troublesome than he had imagined. If the scorching white torrent hit... no, even if it only affected the Morning Glory Advance, it would be very difficult for them It is also an absolutely fatal wound.
But among this series of bad news, there is also some good news.
After this series of deaths, Lorenzo felt that he had figured out something.
"You... are actually the Watcher, right?"
Lorenzo murmured to himself as he stared at the sea snake rolling in the sea mist.
He is the same as the watchman. The most basic and primitive function of these evil beings is to watch, to watch over these territories that should not be touched by people.
It can be seen from the sea snake's previous series of attacks that his consciousness is very primitive, just like a beast, and can only make the most basic reactions. If there is a higher-level consciousness hidden in it, controlling him, then he can completely Able to destroy everyone without Lorenzo being able to observe.
Like the angels killed by Lorenzo, he had a powerful body, but the will that dominated it was extremely unclear, and he could only make such a simple reaction.
In other words, fighting in the [Gap] may not be as difficult as Lorenzo imagined.
[Notal, adjust the route, we have to kill that guy first. 】
Lorenzo relied on [Gap] to communicate. Under this situation, each area of ​​the Dawn Advance was completely isolated and could only fight on its own. It was a miracle that they could persist until now.
[Notar? 】
There was no response, and Lorenzo found that he could not find Notar's [gap].
"Notar is dead."
A familiar voice sounded, and Lorenzo turned around and saw Seleu and Clough in distress.
The two of them were panting and carrying weapons and supplies. It looked like it was very difficult to escape all the way here.
"Notal was killed in the line of duty just a few minutes ago."
Seleu looked at the tall armor and said to Lorenzo.
"So who's in charge now?"
As Lorenzo asked questions, the erosion was also spreading, affecting the command room that was almost in ruins. He came into contact with a strange [gap].
In a hazy consciousness, he heard a voice responding to him.
"Hello, Mr. Holmes."
Floki held the steering wheel with one hand and wielded the folding knife with the other hand, killing the last demon.
