Wasteland Echoer.

Chapter 552: The Final Path (Part )

"I'm not an evil god!" Wright argued.

But his excuse was so pale and powerless, the Crusad soldier in mecha who was knocked down in front of him was still emitting an irrepressible flame.

The headless body shrank rapidly under the influence of the flames and the "ancient power", and within a few seconds it turned into a pool of sticky gelatinous substance with a strong spiritual pollution.

At this moment, the human instinct for survival made the surrounding soldiers almost lose their minds. In their eyes, Wright was a man-eating, bloodthirsty beast, an evil god sent into the world by the ancient gods. His deep black pupils seemed to indicate that as long as he blinked slightly, he would be able to annihilate all those he hated in an instant.

The fear brought by the instinct of survival made the other mecha soldier start to go crazy. In his eyes, Wright's innocent expression turned into a sinister plot, and his normal breathing turned into a beast-like roar and howl.

The halo brought by the red magic power turned into a lava vortex from hell in the eyes of the soldiers, as if a giant hand was stirring up the few peaceful atmospheres in this abandoned open-air palace.

"You crazy evil god!" The soldier looked at the "dead soldiers" that had turned into a sticky asphalt-like substance and flowed out of the cracks in the bricks. He roared, pulled out a metal stick with the emblem of the old Crusde Empire from his waist, and pressed the knob inlaid with a black gem.

sizzle-

hum-

Suddenly, a three or four meter long lightsaber was pulled out from the short stick. Its shape was very similar to the sword named "Elysia" that was the favorite of Ivan XXII of the old Crusad Empire.

It is rumored that those who hold "Elysia" can obtain an oracle in the Land of the Moon, which can be used to find a truly safe path leading to the paradise built by "ancient humans" beyond the endless ice ocean.

Humans who possess a replica of "Elysia" can receive guidance from the god of the "Sleeping Ocean" in dangerous areas.

"This... lightsaber is named 'Light of Elysia'. It can help me subdue you, the evil god." The soldier gritted his teeth and said, but he did not dare to step forward immediately. Instead, he hesitated less than 10 meters away from Wright.

"I said I'm not... Oh, forget it..." Wright put away his helpless expression and instead planned to temporarily disguise himself as a real evil god. He deliberately darkened his expression, showing an interested and meaningful smile, and asked:
"Suppress me? Why didn't you plan to really kill me? Although your brother, uh, the death of this soldier was a misunderstanding, he planned to kill me, and I just subconsciously fought back."

"That's because there is a mission. Commander-in-Chief Yaroslav ordered us to find you, suppress you, and then borrow your...power of the 'evil god' to open...the 'Tianji Evolution Platform'. Once this 'Evolution Platform' is opened, it will be able to respond to Joeygle's 'Tianquan Evolution Platform'. Only by substituting fixed values, Professor Igor can easily calculate the specific locations of all remaining 'Evolution Platforms'." Seeing that Wright did not continue his attack, the soldier seemed to have less fear and vigilance. As he spoke later, his language became more fluent, and he even had a bit of pride in completing a "great mission."

"'Universe Energy Evolution Platform'?" Wright called up the memories of the "future" "stored" in his brain and asked:

"Isn't this a plan doomed to fail?"

"You're talking nonsense!" The soldier's facial muscles twitched slightly and he said angrily:

"You are an evil god, you are talking nonsense! You are trying to mislead me and make us give up the search for the 'Evolution Platform'. You are the embodiment of evil, you hope that the 'Evolution Platform' plan will fail, that all humans will be devoured by the 'Heartless People', and that human civilization will be destroyed by the roar of monsters! You... you are the embodiment of evil sent by the 'Ancient Gods', a close friend of Satan and the devil. I... I will destroy you."

"Destroy me?" Wright was amused by the soldier's arrogance.

But it seemed that the extreme fear made the soldier fearless. He roared, picked up the "Light of Elysia" and slashed at Wright.

Whoosh! Buzz!
The sound of the missed attack mixed with the hum of electricity cast a ridiculous halo around Wright. After all, he had now been promoted to Sequence 3: Combat Level, and his agility was far beyond that of ordinary humans.

If the swinging speed of the "Light of Elysia" was like a bullet in the eyes of humans, then in Wright's eyes, its speed was not much faster than swinging an iron rod.

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The exasperated soldier saw that Wright could accurately dodge his attacks every time, and the "Light of Elysia" happened to pass by his body, and soon he became hysterical and crazy. "You ugly evil god, despicable clown! You... are just a puppet, a rubbish puppet controlled by the Creator and the evil god!" the soldier cursed.

"I'm a puppet? What a new way of insulting someone." Wright's facial expression gradually changed from a light-hearted teasing to anger.

The word "puppet" touched the most sensitive nerve in Wright's heart. It seemed that he had never been angry about it before, because no one had ever really mentioned this word to him.

But in fact, Wright has always believed that he is an individual with an independent personality. He has been living in this dark, ugly wasteland full of killing and death according to his own wishes, but he knows in his heart that his destiny has been controlled by an invisible force from beginning to end.

Even though George, who summoned him to this world in the beginning, and Natasha of the "Church of Hope" who provided him guidance, have long since died, and tangible control has long ceased to exist, but the "resurrected god" who serves the "ancient" and Dak, who is eager to find the secret of the wasteland world, are inadvertently fulfilling the destiny arranged by the Creator.

Therefore, after hearing the curse of "puppet", Wright jumped up quickly, stepped on the half-collapsed broken stone pillars, and walked to the top of the entire palace ruins in three or two steps, that is, the top of the ruined Crusdefeng Palace which had lost its gate and half of the wall collapsed, and jumped down in the direction of the soldier.

The soldier never expected that Wright would be so angry. The adrenaline that had accumulated due to fear had already been consumed by his random attacks. The hidden feeling of fear quickly spread throughout his body, making him stunned in place, unable to move.

However, Light, who was in mid-air, quickly gathered all the red magic power in his body in his right hand. He let out a roar similar to that of a giant dragon, and the surrounding vortex of fire continued to gather in the middle of the soldier's body. The scorching air waves caused the moisture in the surrounding air to quickly condense into droplets, which continuously splashed out.

Whoosh!
A flash of silver-white light passed by, and the soldier found that the "Light of Elysia" in his hand was broken into three or four pieces. Dazzling electric current continued to emit from the end of the lightsaber, but it could not break through the terrifying confinement created by Light.

He helplessly waved his broken lightsaber a few times, but apart from the faint sound of water, the surrounding flames still showed no signs of weakening. It seemed that the "sleeping sea god" had abandoned him and did not give any guidance in this area full of collapsed buildings.

Boom! Puff!
The huge rumbling sound caused the surrounding palace ruins to tremble a little, and a shaky stone pillar broke instantly. The falling part turned into countless fine powders in the second it touched the ground.

However, after the vortex of flames dissipated, the soldier fell on his back and instantly turned into countless tiny beetles, which drilled into the tiny cracks in the brick and stone floor.

In Wright's hand was the soldier's still beating human heart.

"You said I was the 'evil god', right? You attack me because you don't want to communicate with me, right?" Wright took the thing that was oozing red liquid and walked up to the two Cruz soldiers he saw at first. He saw that the two soldiers were so scared that their pants were soaked and they were stunned.

Wright threw the worthless piece of meat in his hand away, manipulated two dark tentacles, and pierced their throats in an instant, making each of their heads "bloom" with a bright, delicious, and intoxicating red spider lily.

"It's really wonderful. This is the strength that the 'Evil God Echo' should have. I think that this powerful force can not only help us destroy the mechanical monster that truly guards the 'main control' 'Fire of Heavenly Punishment', but also make all the lost ones who dare to covet the 'Universe Energy Evolution Platform' face their doomed fate." A slightly old but sonorous voice, accompanied by rhythmic applause, appeared in front of Wright.

At this time, Wright realized that, without him noticing, the soldiers of the Cruz Federation had been standing in front of him. They were wearing customized cotton uniforms that were either light yellow or pure white, and holding their own weapons of different types in their hands.

Wright, who had just woken up from his furious state, put away the blood-stained "Dark Touch", wiped his wet palms slightly, looked up at the source of the voice and asked:

"I said I'm not an 'evil god', but judging from the situation, you Cruz people have been waiting here for a long time. I forgot to tell those dead soldiers that I hate being called a puppet, but it seems that they can no longer hear any sound. If you don't regard me as a puppet and an 'evil god', then please show your identity."

Although Wright appeared fearless and confident, he seemed not to be afraid of the soldiers who pointed their guns at his head, or the Crusaders among them who were wearing officer uniforms.

But in fact, Wright could "smell" the rich and abundant breath of upper-level magic source power in the bodies of these Cruzde soldiers through the red magic source power in his body, as well as the faintly visible dim glow of the "magic source sequence core", which made him dare not act rashly.

"My name is Yaroslav Rurik. I am currently the commander-in-chief of the Red Fantasy Ruins campaign, the chief executive of Vasilysk, and one of the northern leaders of the Federation Council's Universal Energy Evolution Platform Project."
