Advent

Suddenly there was an unsettling smell in the cabin, the smell was sweet and warm, with a strong smell of rust.

Raymond turned his head in disbelief and looked at Allen beside him.

Allen's breathing was heavy and slow, the young man's face was pale, but his lips had an abnormal scarlet color.

Following Raymond's fearful eyes, Allen slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest.

Scarlet blood-colored flowers are slowly blooming on the chest of his tight uniform - the bullet fired by the co-pilot before dying directly grazed Raymond, and then sank into Allen's chest.

"Don't be afraid, Raymond, I'm fine... cough cough... cough cough..."

Allen spoke subconsciously, and then habitually said to Raymond.

But speaking so simple in the past has become so difficult at this moment, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a cough, blood mixed with foam poured out uncontrollably from the depths of his throat, beating Wet Raymond's cuffs and palms.

Allen felt a black mist flash across his vision, and then his body slowly fell down uncontrollably.He just fell into Raymond's arms.

The warm liquid kept pouring out of his body, and Allen tried to wake himself up a little, but it was too difficult.

The sharp pain was seconds late, and Alan couldn't even move, and at the same time he could feel his body getting cold... very, very... very cold.

He could see Raymond's terrified eyes.

Maybe it was the weakness before he died that made him have some kind of wonderful hallucinations. Alan saw with his own eyes that Raymond's handsome face was deformed little by little in his blurred vision...

"No... Alan... no..."

A hoarse, low murmur escaped Raymond's quivering lips.

At this moment, the former human hero seemed to have a child-like fragility.

Only now, all of Raymond's panic, all the helplessness and fear are real.

"Alan...you'll be fine, you'll be fine..."

Raymond kept repeating to Allen.

Under everyone's gaze, his hands melted little by little into a puddle of mucus.

Then he put his tentacles on Allen's chest, and the slender tentacles hid inside Allen's chest and began to secrete a special kind of mucus crazily.

Raymond tried to use his body to plug the wound on Alan's body, however, new blood soon gushed out from under the mucus with anesthesia - Alan's injury was too serious...

And Raymond, no, it should be said that the White Emperor of the Naga people is better at killing than saving others.

The only effect of his efforts was probably that the special anesthetic properties of the mucus quickly weakened the severe pain Alan felt now.

However, this effect is really nothing in the face of Allen's imminent death.

"What the hell is this? Am I crazy? I saw—what did I see?"

Raphael bit his lower lip hard, staring at Alan and Raymond who were hugging each other tightly, his eyeballs were almost out of their sockets.

Things were developing so fast and so bizarre that Rafael even felt that he might be dreaming, and of course he might have hallucinations due to the pressure.

"Raphael, come here."

Sakhir grabbed Rafael, he kept staring at Raymond warily, and unconsciously stood in front of Rafael.

After killing the damned co-pilot, his gun was aimed directly at Raymond.

Of course, I'm afraid Raymond won't care too much about this now.

Allen is dying.

"I'm sorry, Raymond...cough cough...I may have no choice, no way...continue to stay with you..." Allen said to the man in front of him with great difficulty.

The man's face had already melted, revealing huge dark eyeballs and delicate and weird mouthparts, and the tentacles behind him were constantly trembling.

Allen vaguely felt that this might not be his hallucination but reality, but it was amazing that at this moment he found that he didn't really care much.

Who or what Raymond Morecambe was, Alan didn't care anymore.

All Alan knew was that he was about to die, and his death would obviously deal a huge blow to this terrifying monster.

He could feel the great grief and panic emanating from Raymond.

Raymond is afraid, and this makes Allen feel extremely distressed, but unfortunately...he is really helpless.

"Alan, stay with me, Alan, don't treat me like this...Alan hiss...hiss..."

In the end, Emperor Bai's words had evolved into a strange hiss that no human being could understand.

But Allen found that he... seemed to understand everything the other party said.

It was a complex language that could not be explained and translated by human language, and it contained Raymond's extremely frightened mood at the moment and his infinite nostalgia for Allen.

That distressed feeling flooded Alan's heart again.

He felt that he was moving away, and his soul became light, as if it was about to be separated from his heavy and clumsy body.

Allen raised his hand to touch the White Emperor's cheek, which was now a moist and soft thing covered with thin mucus.

But Ellen wanted to touch him.It's a pity that soon Allen found that his hand seemed to have turned into a plaster cast, and his body was falling into a situation where he couldn't move due to the cold.

"I'm very sorry……"

Allen could only utter a vague whisper in the end.

These were the last words he spoke to Raymond Morecambe, or rather, to the monster that once bore the name Raymond Morecambe.

The next second, Allen's hand suddenly dropped.

"Ellen?"

Raymond's body shook, and he looked at Allen obsessively, almost unable to believe what he felt.

There are still some bloodstains on Alan's face, and his body still maintains the warmth that humans should have, but the breath of life has completely faded from him.

Alan Morecambe turned into a dead body that could not move or respond in the arms of Emperor Bai.

human corpse.

"..."

"Raymond" hunched over, he hugged Alan tightly, and buried his face in Alan's neck.

At the moment of Allen's death, the last bit of human breath on Emperor Bai also completely faded away.

The small transport vehicle spaceship of the Security Bureau can only accommodate 4 people, but now two-thirds of the small cabin is occupied by soft flesh that is constantly churning and expanding.

Rafael and Sakhir retreated step by step, and now they have retreated into the cockpit.

The pilot's body was still lying on the console, and the autopilot system drove the crew aimlessly around the universe without calibrating the target coordinates.

Both the corpse and the console look bad now, but Rafael can only stare blankly at everything in the cabin with a blank expression on his face and a blank mind.

Allen is dead.

In fact, Rafael already had a premonition the moment Allen was shot.Yes, Allen will die.

The personnel inside the Security Bureau will be equipped with a special bullet, which contains neurotoxin, and its only function is to kill the enemy with the highest efficiency in the shortest time.It's just that Rafael never thought that such a bullet would be used on Allen.

It's ridiculous...

Rafael heard himself muttering to himself with a hint of sobs.

They even miraculously escaped from the Tianmao human military base that was about to disintegrate-in Rafael's view, these books were equivalent to passing through the biggest possible crisis in his life.

But now, without warning, Allen is in the hands of the co-pilot who suddenly betrayed.

And the thing is not only that, the most frightening thing is that the man who has been monitored by them all the time, the Human League of Heroes, or the traitor running dog of the military department, Raymond Morecambe directly turned into ...a monster that cannot be described in any language.

Soft, pale flesh and slender tentacles, and those mucus that dripped and dripped out.

Raymond's whole body is like a mass of candles gradually melting under high temperature, he is spreading, he is collapsing, and he is revealing his original form...

Because... Alan is dead.

Seeing Raymond (assuming this mass of soft meat can still be called "Raymond"), countless wriggling tentacles suddenly appeared on his body again.

Rafael could only speak to Sakhir blankly: "If it's a nightmare, I hope you can wake me up quickly."

It seems that by saying this, Rafael can calm himself down.

Raymond is still deforming.

Now, even the ceiling and walls of the spaceship are covered with strange, translucent meat membranes.

"What should we do? Sakhir..."

Raphael sniffled, holding back the tears that kept gushing out of his eyes because of Alan's death, and asked blankly.

But it took a long time for Sakhir to respond.

When Rafael turned his head, he realized that Sakhir was also staring at everything in front of him in a daze. He wanted to be calm, but now for the first time a blank look appeared on his face.

Well, things are indeed beyond the limits of human comprehension.

"The Naga..."

Rafael could hear Sakhir whispering, he couldn't help listening, and then heard Sakhir tremblingly continue to say...

"Emperor Bai...he turned out to be the emperor of the Naga people..."

Unlike Rafael who was in extreme shock, Sakhir had a natural calmness.

Although this kind of calmness is useless at this time, it does not prevent Sakhir from keenly recognizing that it is the supreme leader of the Naga people, the White Emperor iconic features.

——Unless in this short period of time, there is another albino Naga in the entire universe, otherwise this thing that is about to lose its mind because of the passing of Allen in their small transport ship is indeed In fact, it is the famous White Emperor of the Naga people...

Even if they have been vaguely aware of it, there is a huge secret hidden in Raymond Morecambe who returned from the time capsule.

But... all of this is still too unimaginable... this kind of unimaginable even dilutes the sadness and shock that Alan's death brought to them.

The two humans who were still alive in the cabin didn't know how to deal with the current situation, but one thing they could be sure of was that they were facing a very difficult challenge, because... Raymond Morecambe, no, It should be said that the White Emperor of the Naga people was on the verge of collapse after Allen's breathing stopped.

Of course, judging from the current situation, he may have collapsed.

"Zi-warning-warning-warning-"

At the same moment when Raymond turned into some kind of octopus-like mollusk directly in front of them, Raphael and Sakhir could only hear a very sharp warning coming from the central control console behind them.

It's just that the warning sound stopped abruptly after half a short scream, and the next second, what the two heard was a series of frightening electrical crackling sounds.

Then the lights in their cabin flickered suddenly, and then turned into darkness.

In the dim environment, the huge flash coming from the window suddenly became particularly eye-catching.

Raphael held his breath, his heart beat almost out of his chest because of the excessive tension.

He glanced out of the window subconsciously, and then his eyes narrowed slightly.

He found that the human military base of Tianmao, which was still slowly rotating under the spaceship before, seemed to have undergone some wonderful changes - the huge steel fortress fell into the extreme darkness in the short moment just now ...

Just like their spaceship.

"..."

Raphael didn't make a sound at all, but he still unconsciously pressed tightly against Sakhir's body.

He had a premonition that something was going to happen, something very scary—Rafael felt that Sakhir's muscles tensed up, but he didn't push Rafael away this time, it was tight Caught each other.

Obviously, on certain matters, he and Rafael have completely consistent judgments.

there is a problem.

……

Below the small aircraft, the Tianmao human military base was originally filled with the cries and wailing of countless people, crazily sounding sirens, explosions, and the crashing sounds of chaotic automatic robots.

By the way, the automatic data broadcast sent by the "mother" system when the system is on the verge of collapse must not be missing.

This place is extremely noisy, full of human fear, panic, and despair, it is a complete hell on earth.

But at this moment, everything suddenly became silent.

All power, including emergency power, was completely cut off in an instant.

Quiet, viscous, and ominous darkness enveloped everything.

Some people were screaming, because they thought the military base had completely disintegrated, but then they discovered that they did not usher in the low temperature and lack of oxygen they thought...

Similarly, in the darkness, human beings were not scattered in the dark, boundless and deadly universe, but soon, the surviving human beings all felt that maybe dying in the universe is not so bad.

They're just greeted with tons of slime and horrible chunks of flesh.

It was like a huge jelly cup being pushed from the table to the ground by an ignorant teenager.

The creepy, wet rattling sound began to echo from every corner in the darkness.

Then, everything was covered with that layer of "jelly" and the juice on the "jelly"...

It was the slime that belonged to the Naga Emperor.

Tick-tick-tick, cracks, corners, pipe parts, every tiny gap that humans can think of, began to ooze thick, strange-smelling slime.

And under the mucus wrap are countless huge wet and soft pale flesh.Forked, tentacles like dead trees slowly protruded from the piece of meat

Those tentacles are flying wildly.

Some were inside the base—they smashed metal corridors without scruple, as well as seemingly solid rooms, offices, armories, and computer rooms.

Others are constantly flying in the vacuum outside the human military base in Virgo...

One, two, countless tentacles spread out from the connection between the interior and exterior of the base. From a distance, it looked like the human military base itself had grown countless slender tentacles.

All apertures, all airlocks near pipe openings and metal doors were destroyed.

Under normal circumstances, it may cause a serious pressure difference between the inside and outside of the base, but now, humans don't need to worry about this problem for the time being.That's because the body of the White Emperor filled all the entrances and exits—those bodies turned into layers of thin films, covering the shiny silver metal plates outside the base at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a short period of time, this inorganic steel fortress built by humans seemed to be covered with a white film of flesh.

It throbbed, squirmed, and writhed in an invisible melody, and it looked almost as if it had become something alive, or at least it looked like—

More and more tentacles are growing out as the white mass of flesh covers the outside of the base.

The hideous and ugly mouthparts burst from the surface of the white flesh, and then formed huge mouthparts.

The soundless and extremely painful neighing just came out from the depths of these mouthparts, it was an extremely painful invisible wave...

"Alan, Alan..."

Almost no human could hear the whining that belonged to the White Emperor with their own ears, but they could feel it.

Then, the instinct of people as intelligent creatures will constantly tremble inside the body because of pain.

What a terrifying, and what a crazy scene.

Rafael could hardly stand still because of extreme fear, he could only lean himself against Sakhir's body.

And Sakhir is like a corpse, his whole body is cold and hard, Rafael can feel his palms are constantly oozing cold sweat...

Similarly, he could feel that their little transport ship, just like the human military base in the Virgo constellation, was also being covered and wrapped up by the transforming White Emperor.

In the darkness, the wet sound was becoming more and more obvious.

Even the soles of their feet were already wet (Rafael was very grateful for the cut off power supply, so that at least he didn't have to face that terrible thing). He could have seen a white fleshy film appearing on the edge of the porthole outside.

And at the last moment when that layer of film covered the window, the only thing Rafael and Sakhir could see was that the entire Tianmao human military base had completely turned into a pale mass of flesh.

It was a terrifying scene that humans had never imagined.

...Actually, if Emperor Bai could still retain his sanity at this time, he would realize that after returning to the real world from the time capsule, this was the first time he had shown his entire body.

And this display is downright lethal.

The long years spent in the time vesicle made the Naga's body, which can grow infinitely, grow to an uncontrollable huge size.

The White Emperor has become so powerful...and so huge.

It seems that when he expands his tentacles, he can almost wrap the entire universe with his own membrane.

The only problem is that, just like all Naga people, the more powerful the White Emperor is, the more clearly he can feel the crazy call from afar, from the depths of the universe.

The rationality that was finally condensed because of Allen was once again impacted by the crazy will.

And the fact that Allen was dead made Emperor Bai completely give up resistance.

I've lost Alan—this kind of thought formed a string of crazy ravings, which kept circling in the Emperor Bai's mind.

It was eroding and gnawing at his soul, making him so painful that he couldn't breathe.

Alan, my Alan...

The White Emperor felt that he was becoming more and more confused.

It's just that after the chaos, He became stronger and stronger.

Like an out-of-control avalanche, madness made him stronger, and strength made him even crazier.

After feeling the madness of the emperor, the Naga who were still madly attacking the Black Swan before had already noticed that something was wrong at this time.

The more experienced elders gave orders, and without hesitation, they immediately abandoned the fighting instinct that the Naga clan had always adhered to. They directly dropped the human Star Destroyer, and even ignored some of the interstellar missiles that had locked onto themselves. , Let those missiles launch orange explosion groups on their own armor and ships.

Then, they drove their warships towards the edge of the battlefield as if fleeing for their lives.

The Naga troops, who looked like irrational locusts in front of human shells, seemed extremely panicked and embarrassed at this moment.

And the speed of the Naga is not bad-unlike clumsy and stupid humans, in a sense, the warships of the Naga are part of themselves.They use their molted bones to continuously polish and shape their own warships.

It is precisely because of this that their maneuverability and speed can be called perfect.

However, even with such warships, the Naga were ultimately unable to escape the attack of a certain monster.

The pale tentacles unfolded easily, and directly rolled several fleeing warships in front of him from mid-air...

The Naga trembled under the tentacles of the former White Emperor.

They trembled in pain, screamed, and kept begging for mercy and fear telepathy to their emperor... It's just that when the spiritual tentacles of these unlucky ghosts touched their emperor, their bodies trembled. But even more powerful.

Crazy.

The naga could feel the madness.

Even the chaos and erosion that even the tide of madness can't bring them.

Corrosion from the spirit appears directly on the flesh.

The few naga who were still struggling to survive before were all large in size and obviously belonged to the elder class.

But after touching the White Emperor, their almost indestructible shells were covered with festering and all kinds of nasty filthy tumors in an instant.

The bodies of the elders also began to collapse.

It didn't take long for these Naga people themselves to be completely turned into rotten flesh, and then they were incorporated into the body of the White Emperor bit by bit.

Now entrenched in the mid-air is no longer the Tianmao human military base, but a huge monster that will never appear even in the most terrifying nightmare, and this monster is devouring all the people in the field. The naga fleeing in embarrassment and...

and humans.

Thick, pale tentacles reached straight for the Black Swan.

A ripple-like blue light curtain emerged from the surface of the Black Swan, which was its energy shield.It's just that the energy shield, which was strong enough to resist hundreds of nuclear bomb attacks, persisted in front of the White Emperor's tentacles for only 0.1 second before being quickly defeated.Those weapons that could play a huge role in interstellar wars were corroded by the slime continuously flowing down from the White Emperor before they even had time to enter the activation stage, and then began to explode.

The scene in front of him reminded Sakhir of an ancient myth that he had learned in school long ago when he was a child: In ancient times, the giant sea monster Kraken once sprouted its own tentacles from the deep seabed, Tow a huge moving ship into the deep sea

……

Even as a bystander, when seeing the current Bai Emperor, he would feel the deep fear from the soul.Not to mention the crew of the Black Swan under the tentacles...

The internal communication channel of the bridge has become a mess.

Almost everyone screamed, even the supposedly calm electronics.

That guy is constantly refreshing the damage inside the Black Swan in seconds.

Uneasiness, noise, fear—everything that once happened in the human military base of Virgo was repeated on the Black Swan again.

The shield was punctured, followed by a composite deck several meters thick, and the outer shield, including the ceramic layer, had been shattered.

The ion generator is paralyzed, the power system is completely shut down, the power supply fails, and the backup system is all short-circuited...

A senior commander put his hand on the console amidst the flickering warning lights, trying to restart the backup power system.

But when he touched the console, what his fingers touched was not the cold metal control panel he remembered, but some kind of wet, sticky, and cold strange creature.

He let out a scream, and then the sound stopped abruptly in the darkness...

Ten minutes ago, people who were extremely calm and turned on their weapon systems against their compatriots encountered the great fear that their own kind once felt after ten minutes.

The only difference is that, inside the Black Swan, in that secret room, someone can still keep calm.

At least Archbishop Maria looked... quite calm.

"This is the weapon I want..."

Maria kept monitoring everything that happened on the black swan, and the smile on the corner of her mouth did not change at all.

"Bishop Maria, I think maybe we should control the situation..."

Assis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then said cautiously beside Maria.

Maria sighed, and turning around, she looked at Sith with a trace of reproach.

"...your nerves are too tight, Assis. You know, God is on our side."

Maria said.

It's just that under her empty reassurance, Yasis still looked tense, and his whole body was even crumbling.

After all, not everyone has ever endured that terrible power like Maria... As an ordinary person, even if he is already the so-called God of War among humans, as the guardian of the gods...

He was still terrified by the current White Emperor.

Seeing this situation, Maria sighed helplessly.

"If I were you, I would just enjoy the scene in front of me... Forget it, it looks like you really can't relax."

Maria eventually relented, or so it seemed.

She reached out and pressed her communication system, then whispered to the person on the other end of the communication device in a calm tone.

"Lane...let the kid work."

She said softly, with a kind attitude like a kindergarten teacher...

On the other end of the communicator, the person Maria was contacting was in a room with extremely complete equipment.

The nameplate at the door of the room reads [Biological Laboratory].

After getting the exact order, the eyes of the young man named Ryan suddenly lit up.

Then he turned around and waved vigorously at his assistants.

"Quick, it's time to activate the experimental subject k1380..."

In the very center of the room, in the cylindrical sink, the light blue culture solution was drained out in an instant under the command.

A young and thin humanoid creature, accompanied by the drained culture fluid, slid directly into the groove bed.

...There are obvious signs of deformity everywhere in his body, the spine is inclined, and the ends of his legs don't have the soles that humans should have, just two slender strips of meat.

The upper body can barely see the shape of a human being, but it is too skinny, and it can be clearly seen that there are many joints that should not be present on the bones emerging from it.

However, the head of the experimental subject was normal.

Even, her face can be called extremely beautiful - it is a face that everyone is familiar with.

That was Allen's face.
