Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

PS. Uh-huh, the epidemic here is over. My mother will come over for surgery at the end of the month, and she will start to have headaches again...

115 chapter

Nodding, Li Ang stopped asking what the Naumans had gotten from her. Even if he asked Liu Yi, he would definitely not answer now. It would only make them both feel embarrassed.

After helping Adele get off the sedan chair, Li Ang first took stock of the environment here.

The surroundings were completely white, with no edges visible at all, and their feet were like calm water. While their figures were clearly reflected, ripples like water waves spread out in circles around them.

The space here seems boundless. In fact, only a small part centered on the shrine is a real area. The boundlessness is just a visual special effect. As long as you walk in one direction, you will encounter a wall within 300 meters. Air wall.

This should be a small part of the world in the painting that is hidden, just like the reflection in a mirror. Except for Liu Yi, everyone else must be guided by rituals or other special ways to enter here, like Li Ang. The way of violently breaking through the space makes it almost impossible to find this place unless you are lucky.

The fact that the Naumans were able to find this place and reach some kind of deal with the Great Ming Shen's agent actually explains a lot of problems. Many of Li Ang's previous speculations may have to be overturned and reconsidered.

At the moment, the situation in this space looks a bit bad. The area they are in now looks normal, but the distance in the distance has been stained with a large amount of dirty colors like dried blood, which is constantly eroding the sky of this world. .

All signs indicate that this world has reached its limit. Although the Great Ming God seems to have the upper hand, it is actually just a return of light. This situation cannot last for long. When the sky here is completely swallowed up by that color, it means It leads to the defeat of the Great Ming Shen.

They still have some time now.

After some observation, Li Ang determined the general situation here. Although Liu Yi didn't want to tell him too much information, there were many things that Li Ang could see without her having to tell him. In this special space, Li Ang could even pass through Perceptual vision sees the 'underlying structure' of this world. It looks like a structure made up of countless complex spell units, but it is filled with too many unknown things. There is not much time for Li Ang to study these now. .

After calming down his thoughts, Li Ang asked directly, "What else do we need to do?"

If he remembered correctly, there should be only the last step left in the Kami-mae style. In the shrine, the shrine maiden uses three pairs of wine glasses of different sizes and toasts them in turn in a specific order. The last step of the ceremony is called The part of 'Three Three Nine Degrees'.

Sure enough, after Li Ang asked this question, Liu Yi made an inviting gesture towards them.

The three of them walked silently into the shrine that exuded a layer of hazy white light.

The layout of the shrine is similar to the one they found in the middle of the mountain before, but there are some more common furnishings here, and you can see traces of someone living here, unlike the real shrine which is empty and empty.

Rui walked straight to the depths of the shrine, took out three pairs of wine cups of different sizes from somewhere, put them on a tray and brought them over.

Li Ang and Adele looked at each other, somewhat confused.

Handing over glasses of wine, handing over glasses of wine, according to the order of the ceremony, they will next use these three pairs of wine cups to toast alternately in order from youngest to oldest, but the problem is...the wine cups are here, but where is the wine?Liu Yi doesn't have a wine flask in his hand, so he can't let them drink air, right?

Seeing that Liu Yi had no intention of explaining, Li Ang thought for a moment, then rolled up his sleeves and picked up the smallest wine cup.

Seeing Li Ang like this, Adele also reached out and picked up the other paired wine cup. When the two smallest wine cups were both held in their hands, something wonderful happened. A shallow layer of transparent liquid actually emerged out of thin air, and then quickly filled the entire wine cup, exuding a light aroma.

What can appear in this way is naturally not an ordinary drink. In Li Ang's view, it is more like an entity formed by the condensation of some energy.

In the first round of wine, the groom drank first, and in the second round, the bride drank. Although Li Ang still had some concerns in his heart, he drank the glass of wine first. Even if there was any problem, Li Ang was confident that he would drink it first. Its resolution, his degree of control over the body is not just for show.

Thinking of this, Li Ang no longer hesitated, raised his head and drank the liquid in the wine cup.

Li Ang suddenly felt a cool feeling going straight to his heart, and then spread along his internal organs. Under the nourishment of this coolness, Li Ang's tired feeling seemed to have subsided a lot.

This is indeed a good thing, but because Li Ang's physical fitness is too strong, the effect of this liquid is completely negligible to him, but if it is Adele, this will not be the case.

So with a thought, Li Ang told Adele that there was nothing wrong with the glass of wine through the mysterious connection between the two. Judging from Adele's reaction later, the effect of this glass of wine on her was obviously greater. Much bigger.

Adele's face was reddish, and her body was slightly hot, but she didn't feel any discomfort. After a long time, Adele put down the wine cup in her hand and drank the second round of her glass of wine.

The two of them were naturally very familiar with the final steps of the ceremony. Since the step of pouring wine was omitted and there was no need for Liu Yi to help, after Adele got used to the effect of the wine, they completed the final part of the ceremony by themselves.

It was a bit of a waste for Li Ang to drink these three glasses of wine. With his physical condition, even if the amount of wine were doubled several times, it might not have much effect.

If possible, Li Ang actually wanted to give these six glasses of wine to Adele. Unfortunately, this was originally part of the ceremony planning. They have not yet contacted the great god of Ming Dynasty. After thinking about it, Li Ang did not make any extraneous matters.

However, after drinking it, Li Ang did not let the energy spread in his body, but gathered it and compressed it into a small crystal. Maybe it could be used for other purposes in the future. , anyway, he had already drank the wine and completed this symbolic ceremony.

Putting the wine glass back on the tray, Li Ang helped Adele, who seemed a little drunk, and asked Liu Yi, "Is the ceremony completed?"

When Adele drank the last glass of wine, Li Ang felt that a certain 'will' came to them. Although he just used a questioning tone, Li Ang was very sure that the owner of this space had paid attention to them. .

Hearing this, Liu Yi nodded with a complicated expression, then looked at the sky in the distance and whispered, "The Great God... He already knows our intention."

116 chapter

Following Rui's words, drastic changes suddenly occurred in the sky in the distance that no one could reach.

The milky white sky seemed to be boiling and surged up. In a moment, the dark dirt was compressed to less than one percent of its original size. It seemed that it could be completely resolved with just a little more force.

However, Li Ang knew that if the Great Ming God could drive away the invaders by himself, there would be no need to ask for help from Li Ang and the others. Now after doing such a thing, the Great Ming God has actually reached the point where it has run out of fuel, and he doesn’t know what else he can do. How long to hold on.

Maybe it was a day...maybe it was two days. The underlying structure of this space has shown signs of instability. Maybe before the Ming Shen can no longer hold on, this space will collapse because it cannot withstand the pressure caused by the war between the two sides. .

After all, this is just a world in a scroll. Although the scroll itself is extremely extraordinary and may be the work of a certain god or agent, no matter how extraordinary it is, it is not something used for fighting. It is a miracle that it can persist until now. .

"The Great God is buying time for us, we should go back." Liu Yi said as he slowly retracted his gaze.

At the same time, an invisible vortex enveloped all of them. Everything around them was like two photos with different transparency superimposed together. The scenery that originally belonged to the interior of the shrine was constantly fading, replaced by a very dim , a place that looks like a tunnel.

When the world around them completely stabilized, the three of them appeared behind the crowd without any warning, and no one noticed their sudden appearance.

After completing the retracement of the entire city, Rui retained the memories of the punishment troops who followed them. With their previous experience in fighting against aberrations, they could be of great use in the next battle. 20 people is enough. If there are more, there will be no place for them to perform.

Although the memories of Professor Valk and Linn could not be modified, they were protected by armored vehicles from beginning to end. After the retrospective ended, they were taken to the passage leading to the subway station, completely unaware of how the world had changed. But this is a good thing for them. The situation here is a bit complicated, and there is no point in knowing more.

Next, Rui handed the authority card to Kumano. He led several of his men to the dispatch station, called the subway to the secret base of Hagoromo Shrine, and then issued the order to rest in place.

"Everyone rest, we will continue our journey in one hour!"

Kumano's voice echoed in the passage. The loud voice made everyone in the passage have their heads buzzing, and even the sound of the subway was almost drowned out.

No one objected to Kumano's order. Although their time was tight, they could still spare an hour. In fact, except for Li Ang, everyone else really needed some time to rest. Even Kumano, who seemed to be the strongest, was no exception. Wu The Sarsians are just stronger than most races, but that doesn't mean they can break through the limits of human beings.

After the order to rest was given, almost everyone fell down leaning against the wall of the passage. Only a few people with stronger physical strength remained vigilant about their surroundings. For a while, there were only people left in the passage. Everyone's breathing became heavier and heavier.

At this time, Li Ang couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.

The so-called wedding before God...that's it?It always felt like everything was over before they had time to do anything, which made Li Ang a little lucky that he didn't agree to Adele before.

Not only Leon, but Adele also feels this way. The so-called wedding should be more ceremonial, but now in order to save time, they have omitted a lot of details without the witness and blessings of relatives and friends. , and there is no foreshadowing that should be there. Instead, the procession is filled with flying flesh and blood, terrifying monsters and other things that should never be there.

If they had agreed impulsively, the two of them would probably regret it now. Even if there is a chance to make up for it later, the second time will be different from the first time.

However, the blessings they received from the gods were genuine. Unless they could hold a wedding in the cathedral in Lateran, it would be difficult to have such an opportunity again.

Shaking his head, Li Ang looked at Adele, who was leaning against him and falling asleep.

Divine wine is also wine. Adele's drinking capacity does not seem to be very good. She is already a little drunk after just three drinks. Although she does not want to disturb Adele's rest, it is not a good time to sleep now.

After gently poking Adele's cheek, Adele opened her eyes after a moment and looked at Li Ang blankly.

"We can't rest now. We still have a lot of work to do." After rubbing Adele's face, Li Ang brought her back to reality.

"……what"

At this time, the dazed Adele finally came back to her senses.

She shook her head in an effort to wake herself up, looked at her surroundings, and asked, "Are we out yet?"

"That's right, we are in the tunnel next to the subway station now," Li Ang snapped his fingers, "It's almost time for the decisive battle. If you want to rest, you should wait until we get out."

After taking a look around and finding that no one was paying attention to the two of them, Li Ang lowered his voice and said, "No matter what happens next, protect yourself first. I will pay attention to the professor."

As for Lin En... Li Ang can only let him ask for his own blessings. The next battle will not be too easy. Li Ang cannot take care of everyone, so he can only sacrifice Lin En, who is not particularly close to them. .

However, if possible, it would be better to save Linn as much as possible. Their relationship with Laitania is very delicate now. The only high-level person in Laitania that they can contact is Linn. Through him, they might be able to get some Laitania. Tania's inside information.

"Also, take this."

Thinking of this, Li Ang took out a crystal clear crystal and put it in Adele's hand.

PS. Alas, I’m not done yet. My mother’s discharge procedures are not expected to be completed until next Thursday. I can only say that I can take some time to code in the past two days... But after so many days, I found that I have forgotten a little. No matter what I wrote before, I am still in an uncomfortable state of being stuck ORZ...

Chapter 117 Before the decisive battle·Part [-]

"what is this?"

Adele pinched the crystal in her hand and asked curiously.

The crystal looks only about the size of a little finger. It doesn't feel cold in the palm of your hand. Instead, it has a warm feeling. Adele can see that this crystal contains a special energy, but she can't see what the crystal is used for. , the energy contained in it is like a pool of stagnant water that cannot be used at all.

"This is the few sips of wine we just drank," Li Ang explained. "It has little effect on me, and drinking it is a waste, so I simply extracted the energy inside and made it into this crystal. "

"It can still be like this..."

Adele sighed a little. Although Li Ang said it easily just now, it was just the control and compression of energy. It sounded like anyone who knew how to use the Origin Stone could do it.

But as a person who has also drank alcohol, Adele knows how difficult it is. Those few glasses of wine spread to the internal organs almost instantly, let alone compressing the control, I am afraid there is no reaction at all. There is no time. If Adele is allowed to do it, she will be able to keep at most one or two tenths of them, unlike Li Ang who can keep most of them.

After pinching the crystal and feeling its unusual hardness, Adele thought for a while and asked, "Then what's the use of it?"

This is a good question. Although Li Ang saved that special energy in order to avoid wasting it, he really couldn't tell what use it could be.

After scratching his head, Li Ang said with some uncertainty, "How about... try eating it?"

This was originally the reward paid to them by the Great Ming God. It has many benefits for the human body. Now it has been extracted intact by Li Ang. Its function should not have changed, and it can still strengthen the body.

Adele felt that it made sense, and without any further hesitation, she immediately planned to throw the crystal into her mouth. Upon seeing this, Li Ang quickly stopped her.

"Are you really ready to eat it?" Li Ang felt helpless.

Hearing this, Adele blinked, as if to say, didn't you say you wanted to eat it?

"Forget it, I'm just saying it. Who knows whether this thing can be digested after eating it." Li Ang waved his hands repeatedly.

Can energy and crystals formed by energy condensation be the same thing?Just like Origin Stone energy and Origin Stone crystallization, this is not just a change in the form of matter. The former may be good for the human body, but the latter may turn into something fatal. It is better not to take this risk.

But it would be wasted if left unused. After some thought, Li Ang simply took out the gun and gave it to Adele.

The power of this blunderbuss is indeed good, and ordinary aberrations can be dealt with with just one or two shots, but the final battle will come next. Li Ang has no need to preserve his strength, so this blunderbuss is of little use to him.

"You can put this crystal into your gun and use it as a powerful etching ammunition. I think there will be no problem."

Whether it is Terra or this virtual world, the principle of handguns is far from the firearms of Leon's previous life. Those firearms in previous lives relied on the explosion of gunpowder in the ammunition to provide power, and the handguns in this world themselves can provide enough The kinetic energy and principle are closer to Gaussian weapons, so although the penetration power of firearms in Terra World is not too strong, some special ammunition is even as powerful as some bombs.

If all the energy in this crystal is released in one breath, the power should not be too small, and it can be regarded as a trump card.

Under Li Ang's guidance, Adele stuffed the crystal into the bullet chamber of the revolver. If it were in reality, Adele would still have to learn how to activate the 'gun', but in this world this step has already been taken. Simplified by the rules set by the great god, Adele only had to pull the trigger.

As for accuracy... For all warlocks, accuracy is not a problem. The spells in this world have to be aimed at themselves.

Liang did not give the remaining ammunition to Adele, and it would be useless if he gave more. Ordinary ammunition was not as powerful as Adele's spell. The power of this key shot was enough.

Seeing Adele playing with the gun with some curiosity, Li Ang said to her, "You study here first, and I'll go see how the others are doing now."

In the center of the team, protected by the soldiers of the Punishment Army, Li Ang found Professor Valk who was resting against the wall of the passage. He looked a little depressed, but thinking about it, he had never seen such a possibility for the professor in his life. For those who have traveled a few times, what happened in the past two days may be a bit too exciting.

His daughter is fake, his own memory is fake, and even this world is fake. Being able to accept this and recognize the reality, although he is still not as good as Linn, Professor Valk's will is already very strong.

Leon sat down next to Professor Valk. Hearing the movement beside him, Professor Valk raised his head slightly and glanced at Li Ang.

"Professor, how do you feel now? You shouldn't have been injured just now, right?" Li Ang asked.

"..."

Professor Valk shook his head in silence. He was well protected in the armored vehicle. Apart from a headache caused by the sound of weapons firing, he did not suffer much damage.

After asking this question, Li Ang didn't know what to say. Strictly speaking, the person in front of him was not the Professor Valk he was familiar with. Even though he hadn't seen him for a long time, Li Ang still had a lot of things he wanted to say to him. , Professor Valk may not be able to understand what Li Ang said at the moment.

So Li Ang fell silent, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became very quiet.

"Until now, I still can't believe everything you said."

After a period of silence, Professor Valk suddenly said this.

He rubbed his temples tiredly and said, "My memory tells me that I have lived in this city for more than 60 years. My wife died of illness early in my life. I have a beautiful daughter. Although my life is not rich, I still have enough food and clothing." Wuyou, but now you are telling me that all this is false."

Li Ang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The older a person is, the easier it is to be affected by memory. Lin En is only in his 30s or 60s, and the memories instilled in him by the Great Mingshen are nothing special. In addition, his strength is not weak to begin with, so he can quickly accept the status quo. But Professor Valk is different. This is almost a complete denial of his more than [-] years of memories. Damn it if he can accept it.

Li Ang can't accept this...

Chapter 118 Before the decisive battle·Part [-]

However, Professor Valk seemed to just want to vent the pent-up emotions in his heart, and did not expect Leon to say anything. He sighed deeply, and then continued, "But Liu Yi only told me a few things. , a lot of evidence proves that what you said is true, even if "I want to deceive myself, I can't. "

"Why have I never noticed these issues before?" Professor Valk said with a wry smile.

"Because the Great Ming God is still maintaining the stability of this world, if he does not lift the restrictions, generally no one will discover the problems of this world," Li Ang said comfortingly, "You don't need to worry too much. Wait until we leave this world." Worlds later, your memory will return to normal.”
