On the Seven Towers

When the attack happened, Ye Zi was telling Javier the story of Yang Guo and her aunt. Suddenly, Mei, who was dozing off with her eyes closed, opened her golden eyes and whispered, "There's an assassin!"

At this time, the roar of horses and the shouts of the coachman came from outside, followed by a few light explosions. Mei remained calm and said to Ye Zi, "Come here."

Ye Zi pulled Javier up to sit on her side. She saw her lips move slightly, and a small barrier rose around them. The barrier was like a layer of light milky white light curtain. Ye Zi had never seen Mei take action, but now he found out that she was a mage.

Green smoke poured into the carriage from between the gauze curtains, but was blocked outside the white barrier and could not move forward.

"Sneaky guy." Mei said disdainfully, and a short sword more than 30 centimeters long appeared in her hand. "Javier, use your bits and pieces of props to protect yourself later."

"Yeah." Javier pursed his lips tightly, looking a little scared, but his eyes showed more excitement, as if he had great confidence in Mei.

"Xiao Ye, there are five assassins outside. I will deal with them. Take care of yourself and Javier."

"I will protect him. But you are alone..."

"Do you have a weapon?"

"Yes."

"The poisonous fog will dissipate soon, and they will come in." Mei did not prepare to cast a spell, but turned sideways with the sword, ready to attack.

"Miss Mei, are you a magic swordsman?" Ye Zi asked.

"Of course not." Mei blinked at Ye Zi, and a faint fighting spirit ignited on her body, "You should also be ready."

Ye Zi focused on the tattoo on the back of his hand, and the tattoo suddenly turned into a pure white spear.

Mei's eyes narrowed, and she said, "This gun..."

"Sister Mei, what's wrong with my bracelet?" As soon as Ye Zi's anti-shadow gun appeared, Javier's God of War bracelet broke away from his wrist and flew to the tail of the anti-shadow gun, just stuck in the U-shaped groove at the tail of the gun, so that the tail of the gun became a ring, and the bottom of the ring was a black gem.

When it was originally in Javier's hand, the gem looked very dim, but now it was integrated with the gun, and countless stars were flashing in the gem.

"Hey, it seems that something extraordinary has happened." Mei looked at the gun and said.

Ye Zi looked a little panicked. She held the anti-shadow gun tightly with both hands, just like a driver holding the steering wheel of an out-of-control vehicle: "My gun, my gun seems to have consciousness. She...she is going to release a skill. I can't control it, everyone, everyone be careful!"

The anti-shadow gun seemed to respond to her words, and the gem burst out with a black light. The three people in the car were illuminated by the light, and their bodies gradually faded and began to disappear from this world. The light swept across the entire carriage and rushed out of the carriage, including the slowly approaching Orva and his men.

The next moment, all the standing people disappeared, leaving only the empty carriage and the unconscious coachman.

——————————————————————

Ye Zi found herself standing in a huge arena, with a starry sky in the sky, no sun, and no moon. The arena was built of gray-white rocks, at least as big as a football field. The layers of stone stands around the arena wrapped around the open space where she was, making it look particularly small. This style reminded her of the temple of the god of war. There was no obvious light source, but the rocks seemed to emit a faint light, making the whole world very bright.

At the outermost end of the stands stood huge pillars, and on the top of the pillars stood statues, most of which were wearing armor, holding weapons, and looking down at the center of the arena. Most of the statues had wings made up of many light strips on their backs.

The entire arena was empty, with only eight bewildered participants standing on the field. Ye Zi, Mei and Javier were on one side. Several other strangers holding swords were placed on the other side, with a wall of light separating the two sides. Ye Zi could see the fear and terror on the other side's face. These attackers probably never thought that things would become so bizarre.

Ye Zi stepped on the ground, the rough ground was solid and real. Looking at the gun in her hand, it didn't change at all, every detail was clearly visible. She realized that this was not a dream, but that this gun brought everyone to a magical space.

"Here, where is this place, why does my bracelet and sister Ye Zi's gun become like this when they are combined?" Javier pulled Mei's clothes.

Mei was in a state of confusion at this time. She looked up at the statues on the top of the pillar, her expression excited and mixed with a bit of sadness.

"This is the place I have always imagined and yearned for, but I have never been there."

Javier didn't understand what Mei meant.

"That's me." Mei pointed at a man standing on top of the pillar. Javier found that he was a mighty man holding two swords. He had no similarities with Mei, except that the short sword in Mei's right hand was exactly the same as his weapon.

"But he is a man."

"It doesn't matter. What matters is that I inherited his power. I am Mei."

"But why are we here? Did you lead us in?" Javier asked.

"You have to ask your sister Ye Zi."

Ye Zi felt the gazes of the two people, looked at his anti-shadow gun uncertainly and said: "It's because of it. Javier's God of War bracelet seems to be a part of this gun. When they are combined, they have the power to travel through space."

"It seems that the anti-shadow gun has awakened, but you haven't awakened yet." Mei said.

"Me? Awakened?"

Mei pointed to the middle of the many statues, which was a heroic woman. She held a long spear in her hand, her figure was upright, and she looked forward. It was exactly the same as Ye Zi's current image.

"She is you. But you are not her yet."

Mei walked up to Ye Zi, her expression suddenly became serious and solemn, handed the dagger to her left hand, and hammered her chest with her right fist: "The right hand of the God of War, the fearless Valkyrie. The war angel Metatron salutes you."

When she put down her right hand, another dagger appeared silently in her right hand, just like the man on the pillar.

Ye Zi felt the deep emotions contained in this series of actions at that moment, as if a divine weapon buried for tens of millions of years had reappeared from the ancient crypt. However, after the etiquette, Mei relaxed again, "Little Ye, the gift just now is for the invincible leader."

"I know she is not me, and I will not become her. I know my past very well, and it has nothing to do with her. And my future is my own." Ye Zi said firmly, "This gun chose me, which does not represent who I am. Maybe it just found a master who looks similar to it."

Mei shook her head and said, "What I am talking about is inheritance. The choice of inheritance is never a simple matter. Although our War Angel clan is human, we have a trace of the divinity of the God of War, and thus have a long life. But even so, before me, in the long years since I left the God Realm, there have been 23 ancestors who have inherited the name of Metatron in turn. Each of them has their own reasons for being chosen by the artifact. But these reasons are absolutely sufficient."

"Alas, it's so tiring to talk to you about this." Ye Zi sighed.

"The inheritor can fall, but Metatron is immortal. Now it is my turn to inherit Metatron's God of War Armor, and also his name and power. I think the same is true for you."
