Colonial Suit

Chapter 431: An Unfinished Ending

Blood...

Blood瞳 wouldn't mistake it. [ ] Read with me h-u-n mix * h-u-n mix * Remember, the liquid seeping from his palm was indeed blood, something only carbon-based lifeforms possessed! But the problem was, Romisk was a typical silicon-based lifeform, and was even sought after by many cosmic civilizations during the ancient Great Chaos. How could it bleed blood!??

How could it possibly have blood?

For a moment, Blood瞳 felt a surge of confusion, unable to grasp any train of thought. At the same time, he felt a sharp pain in his fingertip. Alarmed, he released the explosive force of his punch without hesitation.

With a muffled bang, the metal block suddenly radiated a blinding light, every line and pattern emitting an intense glow that was hard to look at. A powerful and mysterious energy fluctuation erupted instantly, pushing Blood瞳 far away. Before Blood瞳 could steady himself, the half-meter diameter metal block suddenly expanded violently, spewing out a thick, blackish-red slurry from every crevice.

In the slurry, Blood瞳 vaguely saw some fiber-like objects. But before he could get a clear look, a bizarre spatial vortex suddenly appeared, swallowing the metal block without a trace.

"Huh?" Blood瞳 was taken aback, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Forcibly tearing through the anti-space?"

A gale howled in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, Blood瞳 was the only one left. Beneath his feet, the massive steel fortress lay in a heap, dazzling sparks of electricity jumping from various parts of its structure. After a short while, it ignited something, bursting into flames.

In the sky, the firelight illuminated Blood瞳's face, flickering between light and shadow, much like his current mood.

It got away... a Seventh World guy actually forcibly tore through the anti-space right in front of him, escaping his control. To him, it felt like swallowing a fly. But Blood瞳 had to admit that even with his constant vigilance, he couldn't stop the opponent's escape.

Because for him right now, the means to forcibly tear through anti-space was unsolvable. Unless he could reach the Meteor level, and possess a physique as powerful and abnormal as Lord Hensel, he might be able to follow the enemy into anti-space. But even then, he would have to bear a huge risk.

Blood瞳 knew how terrifying anti-space was. The last time he merely entered a layer of it, he was almost drained dry in seconds. To stay there continuously would require an unimaginable amount of energy. At least Blood瞳 couldn't do it now, nor did he want to try.

Compared to all this, Blood瞳 was more concerned about the scene he had just witnessed. Read with me h-u-n mix * h-u-n mix * Remember.

That trace of seeping blood, and the fiber-like objects he saw at the end.

What... what were those things?

Blood瞳 wondered with doubt as he flexed his fingers. His right fingertip had been pricked just now, and it was still throbbing faintly. This made Blood瞳 very depressed. He knew that with his current strength, his fingertips were probably thousands of times sharper than alloy. To be injured when piercing Mimmick, it had to be said that as an ancient cosmic noble, the Romisk people indeed had their unfathomable methods.

But at that moment, the Core's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

"Detected residual enhanced cells. Characteristics are... unknown."

"What did you say?" Blood瞳 was taken aback, and subconsciously glanced at his hand. He suddenly noticed a trace of blood on his fingertip. It was left behind when he pierced Mimmick just now.

Blood瞳 brought the trace of blood to his eyes and looked at it, then rubbed it with his fingers.

"You mean this thing?"

The Core replied concisely, "This is not ordinary blood. I sensed the aura of enhanced cells on it. But its characteristics are very strange, not belonging to any type in my database. Moreover, I just tried to establish contact with it, but it self-destructed as soon as it touched my thought waves."

"This thing was brought out from Mimmick's body," Blood瞳 frowned, and said seriously. "My finger was also pricked. Could it be because of it?"

"Insufficient data, unable to confirm," the Core replied. "But I just scanned the host's body and found no traces of enhanced cell invasion. Perhaps this was just an accident."

"Is that so?" Hearing the Core's reply, Blood瞳 pondered. Only one thought remained in his mind.

Could it... really just be an accident?

Blood瞳 didn't quite believe it, but he didn't have more clues at the moment, and could only believe the Core's judgment.

The gale howled, and the flames below burned even more fiercely. In the raging fire, the huge steel fortress began to melt, like a melting blob of cream. The scorching molten steel dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound. Even from a distance of nearly a thousand meters, Blood瞳 could feel the terrifying heat.

This was the self-destruct program of the Romisk people's shell after losing Mimmick, wasn't it?

Blood瞳 speculated maliciously, but didn't bother to stop it. In fact, without Mimmick, this pile of steel shell was meaningless to him. So he just watched quietly for a while, then turned and flew to the side.

Behind a certain large rock, Singer was curled up in a ball.

When the steel fortress suddenly burned, Blood瞳 moved him here to protect him, shielding him from the direct radiation of the scorching temperature. But even so, the temperature here was still incredibly high. The scorching wind swept through, turning the earth into scorched black. If Singer hadn't been wearing that tattered armor and shielded by Blood瞳's force field, the high temperature of the sweeping wind alone would have been enough to kill him.

But his spirit was extremely excited. Seeing Blood瞳 approaching, he revealed an even more fanatical and agitated look.

"Looks like your spirit is still good," Blood瞳 said to him lightly. "But I can't release you now. Without my protection, you will be baked into charcoal by the temperature here."

Singer couldn't speak, but a trace of dimness flashed in his eyes, obviously feeling ashamed of his incompetence.

In fact, he was the one who caused this incident, but he didn't expect that in the end, not only was he unable to defeat that devil, he couldn't even stop him. If it weren't for Blood瞳, this mysterious helper, tonight would have been a nightmare for the entire x35. And his other old home, Shangri-La at the foot of the mountain, would definitely repeat the disaster of that night.

It could be said that Singer's feelings for Blood瞳 were complex. There was some indescribable gratitude, some awe for his power, and some fear of the mysterious unknown, mixed together in a variety of ways. Singer couldn't quite describe what he was feeling. But one thing he was sure of was that Blood瞳 had saved his life.

No, not only him, but this area, this entire planet, everyone's life.

"Alright. Don't look at me like that. I know what you're thinking." Noticing Singer's complex gaze, Blood瞳 sighed. "Some things are not for you to touch now. Maybe you think defeating this thing is your responsibility, and the meaning of your existence. But in my opinion, it is not a burden you should bear. In fact, not just you, no one on this planet can."

"So you don't need to feel guilty or blame yourself."

Saying that, Blood瞳 walked over and picked up Singer, turned around, and flew towards Shangri-La.

This time he didn't hide his strength, and in a short while, he arrived at Shangri-La. He landed on the outskirts, then carried Singer towards the familiar walls.

At this moment, Shangri-La was in chaos. Although it was far from the scene of the incident, the movements of the giant fortress were too great. Such a huge body, destroying several mountain peaks when it appeared, caused earthquakes that could be clearly felt here. Even if ordinary people's vision couldn't see that far, it was enough to cause people to panic about unknown disasters.

When Blood瞳 returned here, all the men in the gathering point had already taken action, running around with weapons. Women and children were driven to gather outside the houses, to prevent being crushed by houses destroyed by the earthquake. On the outer walls of the gathering point, searchlights were all turned on, not hesitating to consume precious electricity to maintain high alert.

This was the most chaotic night in Shangri-La. Everyone spent it in fear and anxiety. The cries of women and children echoed in the sky. Many people took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. But they all behaved under the strong suppression of the gathering point leader. As time passed, Shangri-La was like a large hedgehog that had encountered danger, opening all its thorns.

There was no doubt that Blood瞳's appearance was definitely unwelcome in such a tense atmosphere. In fact, when he approached the wall, the machine guns on the wall almost went off. If the sentry hadn't discovered Singer's figure, it would have almost caused a tragedy.

"That's... Brother Singer!" A sentry shouted. His voice was full of panic. "Quick, tell the leader, Brother Singer is back. He seems to be seriously injured!"

"What? How could this be?" Another sentry was shocked, and hurried back. The others on the wall discussed.

"Damn, how could a strong man like Brother Singer be injured?"

"Who hurt him?"

"Ah... look at the direction he's coming from. It seems to be the location of the earthquake. Could it be that tonight's earthquake is..."

"Shut up, this is not what you should say. How could Brother Singer be that kind of person. Hurry up, the leader is here. Let us open the door."

After a noisy sound, the gate of Shangri-La finally opened, and Blood瞳 walked in amidst many vigilant gazes. He casually threw Singer to the ground. With a bang, Singer immediately felt his body regain freedom, and immediately scrambled up, looking at Blood瞳 with a complex gaze, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Alright, I know you have a lot to say to me. But I don't want to answer," Blood瞳 glanced at Singer lightly, and said in a low voice. "I just want to rest now, so you need to get someone to prepare a comfortable room, hot water, and a big bed for me. As for any questions you have, we'll talk about them tomorrow."

"Also..." Saying that, Blood瞳 looked at Singer, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"I also hope you take this time to think carefully about your future plans..."

*jrm!.
