Embers of Embers

Chapter 564
This is the last fight. If you lose, you will sleep in this silent sea. If you win, you will continue to move forward and explore the boundaries of human cognition.
The weapons master walked on the broken deck, carrying fixed cables on its body so that it could move smoothly on the raging waves and avoid falling into the deep sea.
Sea water kept rising and slapping on the deck, bringing broken corpses with it, as if they were traveling in a sea of ​​corpses at this moment.
Seeing this, Heibald's mood was not too disturbed. He was probably used to this hellish scenery. What's more, in the legend of the Vikings, many people regard the Silent Sea as the country of the dead. This is just It just proves this statement.
The sea snake started to move. With the huge wound on his body, he moved towards the Morning Glory Advance. As he approached, he could clearly feel the temperature changes around him. The cold sea breeze became warmer, as if there were bursts of The foehn wind is about to sweep through here.
The light was hot, and the Shrike looked up at the glow behind the sea fog, as if the day was about to fall here.
Ascalon's gun barrel has been set up, and the Dawn Advance is also adjusting its angle, preparing to launch a fatal blow to the sea snake's wound.
The black angel is docked not far away. In order to move at high speed, it has no cables wrapped around its body, but relies on the iron feather inserted under the deck to fix itself.
Lorenzo's behavior would normally be scolded by Notal. He has always cherished his ship, but there is no need to care about it now, not to mention that Notal will not scold Lorenzo again. .
Power Gabriel connects everyone's [gap], and Lorenzo is like a messenger, constantly conveying other people's words to another group of people, so as to restart the paralyzed communication. It is also for this reason that Morning Only then can the functions of each area of ​​the Hui Jinjin be unified again.
"Honestly, Hybold, this is the first time I've ever seen a Viking feel happy."
Seeing Hebold and Clough trotting over, Shrike joked.
Because of his past experience, the Shrike hated the Vikings very much. When he was in the lower city, he often targeted these barbarians from the north, but it was different now, and the stubborn prejudice and hatred between life and death had loosened a lot.
"I'm not happy to accompany you to death... This really requires courage."
Heibald couldn't be happy. He and Clough followed the weapon master not far away. The Original Sin Armor had a very wide attack range when it wielded its weapon. Being too close would hinder Shrike's battle.
"Can that thing withstand a bombardment?"
Haybold asked uncertainly.
After moving the pendant, Ascalon was placed on the cabin building on the deck, which was still piled with dead bodies and ruins left from the battle. It was like a twisted metal combination that could barely support the cannon. Tube.
Even so, the shelling is still very difficult. With Ascalon's slow reloading speed, they only have one chance to fire, and in this case, they have no ability to adjust the angle and distance of the shelling. In order to hit the sea snake, they need to Get very close to the sea snake.
Where before Ascalon was a spear that pierced the sky, now it is a deadly but limiting dagger.
"I don't know, we tried our best."
Shrike replied that the pressure of the battle was much less now. The sea snake's spitting light destroyed the Blood Shark, but the monsters in the sea were also destroyed together.
The temperature of the entire sea area rose sharply by several degrees. In the area near the sea snake, the demons were evaporated into nothingness. Even the demons on the Morning Glory Advance were affected, and the pressure from the demons was greatly reduced.
But the crisis from the Sea Serpent was also rising. He dived into the sea, and even the blazing white light fell into the sea, lighting up the deep blue ocean. Through the glow, the Silent Sea was as magnificent as a flowing sapphire.
The sea surface swelled one after another, which was because He was moving rapidly towards this place.
"Lorenzo!"
Shrike exclaimed, but the black angel beside him fell silent again and did not respond.
In this package of steel and flesh, Lorenzo's sight was no longer on the Morning Glory Advance.
"Invade my [gap] and see with my eyes!"
The voice of the plague doctor echoed in his ears, Lorenzo chose to believe this time, the power was surging, and then tore open a road leading to the [gap] of the plague doctor. Despite resistance, Lorenzo easily took over his body.
The process of occupation was both painful and wonderful. Lorenzo could feel memories far beyond ordinary people impacting him. It was only at this time that Lorenzo vaguely realized how long the life span of the epidemic doctor really was.
The endless years bring a sense of trance, and the broken emotions are intertwined with Lorenzo.
But unlike the previous [Gap] invasion, everyone had extremely complex emotions, and these emotions disturbed Lorenzo. But during the invasion of the epidemic doctor, Lorenzo could only feel a single feeling from beginning to end. Emotions.
fanaticism.
Endless fanaticism, fanaticism for truth, fanaticism by any means necessary.
For a moment, his consciousness seemed to be ignited, and there was an almost crazy thirst for knowledge in the depths of his heart, greedily looking for these delicious truths, and even made Lorenzo almost become a crazy monster. Fortunately, he finally calmed down Come down and complete the encroachment.
Now the Plague Doctor has briefly fallen into Lorenzo's control. As long as Lorenzo wants, he can easily end the Plague Doctor's life here.
Such an idea flashed by, and Lorenzo gave it up. Not to mention that he is now on the same front as the plague doctor, the more important thing is that the life of the plague doctor is too long.
After experiencing so much, Lorenzo finally came to such a conclusion.
The longer some people live, the more crazy they become, and the more they resemble an uncontrollable monster. No one knows whether the epidemic doctor has a back-up plan for opening the [gap] so calmly.
In other words, Dr. Plague believed... Dr. Plague believed that if Lorenzo saw what he saw, he would never kill him.
That thing was too terrifying. The first time Lorenzo saw it, he would understand that relying on his own strength, there was no possibility of survival. He had to need a plague doctor.
Lorenzo took control of the plague doctor's body, opened his eyes, and observed the world he saw.
The icy sea water filled his surroundings, and under the stealth of the sea snake, the plague doctor parasitic on his body was dragged into the sea, but this was not a big problem, the scarlet tentacles were constantly entangled, and healed quickly Broken body.
Lorenzo looked toward the depth below. The sea was clear and translucent. However, as the depth increased, the light could no longer reach deeper. However, as the sea snake released its glow and burned with angry flames, the darkness in the deep sea was also destroyed. Expelled, the light penetrated the sea water, illuminating the invisible depths of vision.
Lorenzo's heart suddenly fell into an ice cellar, and he saw it.
He saw the scaly snake body extending into the crawling darkness below, and saw more small, scaly snake bodies swaying in the deep sea. He also saw similar snake body connections. The Darkness and the Narwhal.
Lorenzo's consciousness was hit hard by the cruel reality, and a blazing white light flashed between the gaps in the scales, rising and falling on the snake's body like breathing.
Such ripples spread in the darkness. Lorenzo could see such light waves reverberating in the depths of the ocean floor, spreading to depths beyond the reach of his vision. He also saw it spreading to all sides, constantly making waves, reaching The end of the sea.
The glimmer of light passed by, revealing black mountains. They were one after another, forming dark, flesh-rich mountains in the deep sea.
This is His whole picture.
He has never been a huge sea serpent, nor a giant python in mythology. This is an existence far beyond the knowledge of ordinary people. What Lorenzo is encountering now is just one of his countless tentacles. He has not yet awakened, and has launched The attack is just a slight sleep talk.
This is the source of the erosion of the Silent Sea.
A super giant monster that covered the entire seabed.
He has slept here for thousands of years, guarding the end of the world and spreading huge erosion towards the sea.
Lorenzo didn't even know whether he should describe such a majestic and terrifying existence as a demon.
"Leviathan..."
He whispered.
Now, Lorenzo couldn't help but use the monsters described in the Gospels to describe everything in front of him.
"The magnificent [Messiah], the demon called Leviathan."
Lorenzo took a deep breath. This is from the records of the Gospel Church. Lorenzo only thought it was a distortion of the myth, but now it seems that maybe the records are true, but it has been too long, too long. Those who know it well are dead, and those who have been reborn regard it as falsehood.
"Are you afraid? Holmes."
Another voice sounded, that of the epidemic doctor.
[Gap] Under the invasion, the two people's wills began to interact. Lorenzo could feel the emotions of the epidemic doctor, and the epidemic doctor could also feel Lorenzo's.
Lorenzo didn't answer, but then he felt the emotion from the epidemic doctor.
Fanaticism is still the same fanaticism.
"Holmes, my research is right, my theory is right, and my truth is right."
Under the pressure of this giant thing, the epidemic doctor murmured crazily.
There is no so-called god in this world, and no creature can have such a huge body that does not self-destruct, so there is only one answer left.
"Is this 'upgrading'?"
The epidemic doctor murmured, and then he denied his words.
"No... not right."
He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, but he could vaguely feel the existence of mistakes.
The epidemic doctor must have overlooked something.
Lorenzo remained silent, staring at the dark mountains without saying a word.
The sea surface was turbulent, and as the sea serpent approached, heavy raging waves hit the hull. Highbold and Clough stood in it with difficulty, trying their best to tighten the cables used to stabilize the Original Sin Armor. Prevent yourself from being washed off the deck by the splashing waves.
"careful!"
Haybold exclaimed that a demon climbed onto the deck with the splashing waves. Clough tried to swing the jackknife, but a thermite bomb hit the demon before him.
In the narrow shadow, Seliu raised the thermite rifle, hit it with one shot, and then gave a thumbs up to Heibald.
Haybold could vaguely see the girl's figure. She was indeed obedient and hid in a safe area. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise her for her accurate shooting skills or to say that she would find loopholes.
"Where's Lorenzo? Is he pretending to be dead again?"
Heybold shouted loudly, he didn't know the nature of the mighty Gabriel, he only knew that Lorenzo had been in a daze in the black angel since the beginning of the naval battle.
"He shouldn't be here!"
Shrike responded.
Like Haybold, he did not know the existence of Power Gabriel, but he had participated in the siege against Lawrence, and he was very aware of Lawrence's abilities similar to Lorenzo's.
Just when Heibald was about to ask Shrike what he meant, a more violent impact occurred at the next moment, and the Dawn Advance trembled violently, as if it would disintegrate in the trembling within a few minutes.
"He is coming!"
Shrike yelled.
The changes in the sea surface could not be completely observed from the deck, but Shrike could see the glow emerging from the sea snakes. The light fell to the edge of the hull, and they seemed to be traveling on the sea of ​​light.
Infinite light rises from below.
【Get ready to fire! 】
Lorenzo's voice resounded in his mind at this moment.
This is an indescribable feeling, as if there are invisible threads connecting people's consciousness. Massive information is transmitted with Lorenzo as the link. Floki, who is high in the command room, sees the picture in the artilleryman's eyes. , the corresponding artilleryman also saw everything within Floki's field of vision.
Lorenzo coordinated everyone and unified the diverse wills.
Inside the Black Angel, Lorenzo closed his eyes tightly, blood overflowed from his mouth and nose, and then from the corners of his eyes and ears. His heart was beating violently, as if it would completely explode in the next second.
【coming! 】
As the sound echoed, the sea surface swelled and exploded, and a dark body rose from the ground.
After a burst of bright light, the sky-high snake body stood beside the Morning Glory Advance. Its scales rubbed against the edge of the hull, causing sparks to leave scars on the hull. The suppressed fear poured directly on everyone.
Floki turned the steering wheel sharply. With Ascalon unable to move the barrel, he needed to adjust the direction of the hull to aim.
With full power, the waves turned into white foam and dispersed. The Morning Glory Advance tried to stagger its position with the sea snake, pointing its muzzle at the wound, but the speed of the sea snake was much faster than them. It rose high, and then drop.
The strong light took away everyone's vision, and they could only feel the ground shaking, the sound of metal breaking, and the huge impact erupting around them.
Heybold only felt a fiery foehn blow by, and both he and Clough flew high, and were caught by the weapon master in a blur, and stabilized his figure. The weapon master himself was not much better, and the fixed line The cables broke one after another, and only a few cables were still trying to hold him. As for the Black Angel beside him, the sharp iron feathers left several deep dents on the deck, and he was firmly on the edge of the hull. Lived the figure.
The smoke dissipated, and the edge of the Morning Glory Advance collapsed at a corner. The Sea Serpent's blow had every chance of sinking the Morning Glory Advance in the middle. Fortunately, Floki deflected the ship's hull slightly at the critical moment and missed this moment. hit.
"Wound...wound! Fire!"
Heibald opened his eyes in the blazing heat, and he saw the huge wound Lorenzo said. It was now on the side of the ship's side, and Ascalon had every chance to penetrate it.
Red threads danced wildly in the huge and hideous wound, and scorching fireworks continued to overflow, as if it were a lava door opening on the side of the ship. The high temperature burned the nearby metal red, and the rising heat blew against the crane. Tower, the mechanical arm swayed violently in the foehn wind.
"Ascalon!"
Hebold roared angrily, but the foehn wind dissipated, and the cabins and metal ruins originally used to support the gun barrel began to collapse. The violent impact caused the already unstable structure to collapse. The high temperature melted the metal and turned into Iron flows.
The Vikings looked on in despair. They had only one chance, and now that chance was gone.
The gun barrel leaned to one side, the iron cable was tightened, and it kept shaking, making it difficult to stabilize and aim. Even the pendant with the gun barrel above it also shook, and it seemed that it would collapse together in the next second.
In the silence, the weapon master waved his sharp blade, and it quickly cut off the cables connected to its body, and ran wildly on the deck.
"Shrike! What are you going to do!"
Haybold exclaimed, seeing the weapons master running all the way towards the burning ruins, he was simply sending himself to death.
"Killing God!"
Shrike's voice sounded from it.
His mental state is very poor. Until now, he has been relying on Florund's potion for support. Activating the Original Sin Armor so frequently is a lot of pressure for anyone, but he is probably used to being in despair, Shrike. It doesn't feel any worse.
It was clearly a cold sea, but in front of us was a blazing foehn wind.
Shrike began to understand Kestrel's way of thinking. If he regarded his current life as stolen from the hands of death, there would be no pressure at all. After all, he had already made a lot of money.
The weapons master's pace became slower. He climbed higher step by step, stepping over the broken ruins and wading through the hot molten iron.
Finally, Ascalon appeared in front of it with its barrel tipped over.
The impact and high temperature caused part of the original support to collapse. It could be seen that the hanging tower was still working. The technician who stayed on top saw Shrike's actions. He endured the blazing heat and made his final resistance.
The winch rotated slowly, and the hook pulled it, struggling to lift the heavy barrel.
The technician felt like he was in a combustion chamber. He had taken off his shirt, but he was still sweating, his vision became blurry, and it became difficult to breathe.
But even so, he still grasped the joystick tightly, and there was a burning pain on the metal, and the fragile skin adhered to it in the blink of an eye.
From his angle, he could clearly see the flames gushing from the wound, and the temperature was still rising. This was an oven of death. Looking at it optimistically, the technician only had a few minutes left to live.
"Steady!"
The technician growled, and he gripped the control stick tightly, which stabilized the shaking of the barrel.
Seeing this, Shrike really wanted to cheer for this technician whom he had not yet met, and perhaps had no chance to meet.The weapon master rushed to the bottom of the gun barrel, shouldered the gun barrel, and used the original sin armor to replace the collapsed section.
This heavy weight made the weapon master's figure sink, and the armor itself was slightly squeezed and deformed. Fortunately, as a second-generation armor, it also used part of the demon flesh and blood as the armor. Its strong toughness and resilience allowed the weapon master to support Live under such high pressure.
A huge amount of information was exchanged, and the two people, who had not much contact with each other, began their final resistance with the help of Lorenzo.
The weapon master moved slowly, carrying the barrel on his back, turning himself into a guide rail, and adjusting the position of the muzzle with the cooperation of the pendant. Every step was so heavy that even the ruins under his feet were slightly bending.
"It's useless, Holmes, so what if you cause harm to Him?"
The doctor's voice echoed in my ears.
"He is so huge. Even if you cut it off, you will only kill one of its many tentacles. This is just a useless effort."
Lorenzo, the black angel, slowly opened his eyes, his pupils turned pure blood color, and his face was ferocious.
"There is a difference between being defeated and being killed as an epidemic doctor."
On the hanging tower, before losing consciousness, the technician pressed his body on the operating table and tightly controlled the joystick. The metal around him was burned red, and his body was already on fire.
The scarlet flesh completely enveloped the shrike and also covered the weapon master's body. The moment before the central frame collapsed, the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the wound.
A blazing storm rolled up in Lorenzo's scarlet eyes, and his consciousness hit the iron curtain-like barrier, and at the same time Ascalon opened fire.
The bright spear of light passed by, penetrating the sky and the earth.
