Salvation equals death

Jiang Ming never thought that one day he would face Vera with swords.

Although in this desperate world, redemption is nothing more than an extravagant delusion, Jiang Ming also thought about taking that child back to Huaxia after everything was over and making it her home.

"You are not Vera." Jiang Ming looked at the girl's scarlet and chaotic eyes, and flames gradually burned around her body, like a phoenix in nirvana, "Who are you? Why did you occupy Vera's body?"

Faced with Jiang Ming's questioning, Fasilia evoked a treacherous smile, neither frightened nor flustered, but a little excited: "I am her, I have all her memories and feelings, I am her the other side of it.”

"You're not." Jiang Ming's originally extremely anxious emotions were cooled down the moment Faslia attacked Feng Zaozhi, she stopped the resentful Ji Wu behind her, and said in a calm tone, "Although I don't know what you are Who is it, but I will defeat you and take Vera back."

"Speaking is better than singing." Fasilia also turned cold, and said mechanically, "Take it back? It's funny, when did you have it... Jiang Ming, let your pride shatter like a star on the ground under my feet."

As if irritated, Fasilia raised her hand, and the blue sky and white clouds behind her distorted and fluctuated, as if being licked by a high-temperature flame, and endless blue stars shone behind her.

"Not good." Ji Ling pulled out the Shanshui sword and slashed at Feng Zaozhi's back twice, the holy key with the power of new life temporarily stopped the bleeding from the wound, "Sirius, little Wu ! Take the branch and leave!"

"Sirius can provide remote assistance." The pupil of the girl with half of her body is mechanical, and the ring of the analytical instrument lights up in her left eye, constantly scanning the "stars" that are constantly shining in the sky, "The energy exceeds 5000w, Activate the long-distance battlefield support armor [heavy load. False line]. Instructor Ji Ling, please be careful."

A transparent energy shield immediately enveloped everyone. Ji Ling nodded, and Sirius no longer wanted to fight. Instead, he picked up the seriously injured Feng Zaozhi with the heavy-loaded mechanical arm, and dragged Ji Wu into the "virtual line" state.

Sirius understood very well that people of their level would not be able to intervene in the next battle. The False Walk Armor is a set of all-round support armor. While providing assistance to teammates, it can also open the imaginary dimension to protect itself.Although she is the youngest in the Lantern Moth team, she has the most combat experience. When Ji Wu was still learning how to swing a sword, she had already walked onto the battlefield with a charge-front-gun.

After all, this is a miserable world where even children cannot have peace.

"Let go of me, Sirius!" Ji Wu was dragged into the imaginary dimension, his wide eyes were bloodshot, "I want to avenge Zhizi! That nasty guy!"

"You should be more sober, Ji Wu." Sirius' mechanical arm was as unwavering as a mountain, firmly shackling Ji Wu, her attitude was as unfluctuated as her emotions, "If this is On the battlefield, for a comrade like you who has only one passion but no brains and doesn’t obey orders, I will shoot you through the heart immediately with a bullet. The Ji family’s holy key has brought you overinflated confidence, So much so that you can no longer grasp your own strength."

Stabbed by Sirius' cruel words, Ji Wu opened his mouth, but shouted angrily: "Then leave me alone and let me die! She dares to hurt Zhizi, even if I die with her, I won't let her go!" Pass her!"

"That's why I said you have no brains." Sirius tilted his head indifferently, and the extended mechanical arm stretched out, revealing Feng Zao Zhizi's pale face, "Zhizi is not dead yet, but you still care about her injury Thinking about revenge."

Looking at the pale but shallow-breathing Zhizi, Ji Wu was speechless, unable to speak for a moment: "...how is it possible?"

That girl hit Feng Zaozhizi with multiple hands, Ji Wu saw it with her own eyes, the ruthless blow that almost cut the girl in half, just thinking about it made her heart ache.

"Trust me, teacher." Sirius gave Feng Zazhizi emergency treatment, and said calmly, "Vera Kirupa, have you ever observed the color of her eyes?"

"What?" Ji Wu replied in a daze, but got eyes from his teammates as if they were mentally retarded.

"Having expectations for your IQ is really my biggest mistake in judgment." Sirius pointed to his eyes and said expressionlessly, "Just now Vera's eyes changed color for a moment, that's why she was angry .”

Sirius let go of the mechanical arm and asked Ji Wu to inspect it, only to see that Feng Zaozhizi's bloody back was slightly glowing with golden light, and the wound was almost healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"This 'Vera' is definitely not the 'Vera' the captain said." Sirius said firmly, "Since she still has consciousness, there is still hope of being rescued."

"Bam—"

When the fist broke through the air, there were bursts of scratching and bursting sounds. In the overwhelming wind blades, Jiang Ming walked calmly like a fish swimming in it. Every time he took a step, he jumped several meters in an instant, at an extremely fast speed. amazing.

There was a faint red light in Jiang Ming's eyes, and the wind blades that were too dense to be recognized by the naked eye slowed down countless times in her eyes.

Dongying is good at swordsmanship, Europe is mainly about supernatural powers, but most of the Chinese people who inherit ancient times are practicing martial arts, and some of them are outstanding in their bones, and they will comprehend the "Tao Yun".

From "Skill" to "Tao", it seems that there is a difference of one step, but there is actually a difference between cloud and mud, and Jiang Ming is a rare strong person who has comprehended the "Tao Yun". This kind of dynamic vision that prolongs the time of somatosensory is called For "inch heart".

Shrinking the macroscopic world into a square inch of the heart is called "Cun Xin". Jiang Ming's flexibility and mobility have been improved to the extreme after entering the Cun Xin state, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a fish in water.

"It's as annoying as a loach." Fasilia clenched her five fingers tightly. Although she knew that Jiang Ming was known as the strongest person in the world, she still lacked an intuitive understanding of the word "strongest".

Jiang Ming avoided Faslia's imposing blow, flames burned under his feet, and the robe on his body moved automatically without wind, and golden-red flame patterns burned on the snow-white robe.The woman who stepped on the fire raised her eyes, her dark eyes turned into a fiery red, and even the hair loosely tied behind her back showed some color.This kind of Jiang Ming just stood there calmly, which made Fasilia feel a great sense of oppression.

That oppressive feeling even far surpassed Yuli Shisha's blow to lift the restriction of St. Emore's fire just now.

"So what if you defeat me?" Faslia, who felt a sense of crisis in her heart, yelled sternly, "This body is still Vera's, and I coexist with her spirit. Do you think she can still survive after I die?" alive?"

Faslia's words obviously admitted that she and Vera are not the same person, which made Jiang Ming's cold and lonely eyes glow with the warmth of fireworks.

"I have practiced martial arts so far, and I have never met an opponent in more than [-] years. When I was an adult, I inherited the Jiang family's holy key 'Jingweiyu'." Jiang Ming raised his hand, and the flames exploded, and the next second scattered away, killing Jiang Ming himself. Both Fasilia and Fasilia were wrapped in a sea of ​​flames, "Do you know what kind of holy key 'Jing Wei Yu' is?"

Fasilia looked restless. She manipulated the wind and water to separate from the encirclement of the fire, but the power in her body was out of control and weak.

"The sword is the leader of a hundred soldiers, and Huaguo respects swordsmanship, but Jiang Ming didn't hold a sword that year." Ji Ling's voice suddenly appeared behind Fasilia, softly and shallowly, as if smiling Meaning, "Because she has comprehended the Dao Yun of the 'Invisible Sword', her sword can not only pierce flesh and blood, but also pierce your heart, destroy a person's spirit, and even tamper with a person's memory."

"Supreme goodness is like a water sword, and restriction is liberated-the first restriction. Things are exhausted."

"Go away!" Faslia condensed her blue spear and stabbed towards Ji Ling, but Ji Ling just swipe her sword lightly and then withdrew and left, bending her waist to avoid the attack. The shape is weak and boneless, and it is extremely flexible and agile.

The jet of water that soared into the sky penetrated Fasilia's body. She covered her arms with all her strength, and there were dark water spots on the place that Ji Ling gently stroked. Drop by drop.

Fasilia couldn't figure out what was behind Ji Ling's innocuous attack just now, but she soon realized that something was wrong. In this unscrupulous rain, her power was rapidly passing away, and her movements gradually became slow. stand up.

"It's a pity, neither Jiang Ming nor I's holy key is an offensive weapon." Ji Ling put her sword back into its sheath, her face was beautiful and beautiful, and she smiled warmly, "But as the strongest 'control' and the strongest The 'erosion' of yours, against your 'fluid' law, we are still barely able to fight."

Ji Ling dodged to dodge, but Jiang Ming, who was already ready, raised her hand to lock Fasilia, revealing a ruby ​​ring with a firebird pattern on her knuckles.

"Jing Wei Yu, limit the release—"

"Shut up, shut up!" Faslia, whose mental state was already unstable, almost went crazy, she screamed at the top of her lungs, and a tornado rolled up around her, "It's just a group of ants!"

When facing the mighty power from the world, who is not an ant?

Jiang Ming thought calmly, but ants also have things they want to protect, so in order to make up the gap, they must pay a heavy price.

——Light up your life with the fire that burns my wings.

This is the meaning of the existence of "lamp moth".

"Exceeding the limit. The gods return to the ruins."

The soul is the soul, and the ruins are the end.

Even if it is the thoughts of the gods, this place will become his end.

Jiang Ming pointed to the sword, and the flames burning from her fingertips condensed into an illusory giant sword. Time in the whole world seemed to stop. In the silent space, only the sword held the indomitable future. With a gesture, he cut his head towards Fasilia.

That was probably the first time Fasilia felt that she was so close to death. Even on the day she found out that she was infected with a genetic disease, she never felt such fear of dying.

She subconsciously looked at Jiang Ming and opened her mouth, only to find that the calm Jiang Ming's expression changed drastically. She ran towards her and opened her mouth to shout something, but Fasilia couldn't hear her at all.

——In Jiang Ming's mirror-like eyes, her scarlet pupils were replaced by golden light.

[In the fusion of the Sky Stone, the matching degree is 78.63%, the matching degree is 79.42%, the matching degree is 81.77%...]

[The Soul Stone is merging, the matching degree is 100%, there is an exclusive reaction, and the fusion is continuing...]

[In the fusion of light inheritance, the matching degree is 100%, there is an exclusive reaction, the divine gene is activated, and the charging continues...]

[Completion of integration - devouring powers "creation", "fluid", "mind"... Powers are being restructured... Reconstruction is complete, new powers "swallow", derived powers "construct". 】

The moment Vera opened her eyes, the giant sword made of raging flames was already in front of her eyes. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, grabbed something vaguely, and then pulled it suddenly.

A pitch-black crack appeared out of thin air, like a moat drawn by a god. Inside it was an abyss that could not be seen by the naked eye, and it came from the deepest darkness in the universe.

【As a result, they actually created a god for them...】

The system's soliloquy was lost in the huge blasting sound, and the huge sword made of flames turned into a phoenix, bursting into a brilliant red light the moment it came into contact with the crack-like black hole.

The stars in the universe were shattered, and Vera calmly looked at the scene of the world collapsing in front of her, and said softly: "Is time running out?"

The system broke into a cold sweat for the host. It wasn't until the space was broken that the system realized that the fight just now was just an illusory scene constructed by Jiang Ming's holy key.

Fasilia was also considered unlucky for her, but she met Jiang Ming who held the mind-controlling holy key. If the sword hit just now, I am afraid that this rare consciousness beyond death will be completely burned in the flames. Die into ashes.

[Host, are you ready? 】

After the illusory space was shattered, Vera finally saw the real scene in front of her eyes. Hundreds of floating battleships in the distance were encircling her. OK.

[To see Zephyr again... no, I mean, is it the last time for Alex? 】The system asked cautiously.

Tears welled up in Vera's eyes. After the godhead was fully fused, she could see clearly the essence of this world and the true nature of all living beings. All falsehoods and truths were written in her eyes like flowing water.

"It's too ugly...the system." Vera wiped away the turbulent tears with the back of her hand in a bit of embarrassment, and said in an erratic tone, "It's different, it's different already."

The system kept silent, and he didn't dare to ask what was different. He only persuaded softly after a long silence: 【Vera, we should go. 】

Vera hummed softly, and she fell from the air with her green cicada wings, and came to Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming knelt down on one knee, holding her heart with one hand and panting non-stop. The over-restricted lifting of the holy key put a huge load on her body, not only draining her physical strength, but also exerting a certain strain on her spirit. Influence.

Jiang Ming looked up at Vera's clear golden eyes, suddenly reached out and grabbed Vera's arm forcefully, and said hoarsely, "Come back with me, Vera."

Vera lowered her eyes and said softly: "Jiang Ming, I already know the solution to the genetic disease."

Jiang Ming was slightly taken aback, and the great news hit her head, making her mind go blank, but soon, she seemed to have expected something, and hesitated for a moment.

Vera saw the change in her demeanor, and didn't say much, just put her hands together, condensing a constantly rotating and changing energy cube.

"I will take some things from this world with me, and the direction of technology in the future will also need to be changed. There may be a difficult period, but please believe me, as long as you get through it, everything will be fine."

Like an elder who knew everything but forgave everything, she gently placed her hand on Jiang Ming's head in a gesture of blessing.

"Help me tell my brother, if you feel lonely, you can try to love this world."

"May the Holy Light bless you."

——That was the last words left by the artificial god Vera in the world.

Vera, who bid farewell to the shackles of this world, flapped her wings and flew to the sky. She flew higher and faster, like a ray of light rising from the ground, and flew to the top of the sky.

The final voice cut off the hand of the god out of thin air, and the girl-like god released the power of "swallowing". Tiny dots of light collapse.

Overwhelming mana energy was poured into this shell belonging to Vera, and the erosion of energy made Vera's body surface appear imaginary traces after being eroded, which caused her body to shatter into countless dark lines, as if she was overwhelmed. Jewelry that shattered with mottled cracks.

"Understood..." A black-red sphere slowly emerged from Vera's heart. The sphere made of energy kept struggling, but was always bound by golden chains.

"Vera, it's not worth it, it's not worth it! Let everyone in this world die, as long as we are still alive! I don't want to hear those noisy words of life, only by your side, I Only then can you feel the peace of mind!" A cry came from the energy consciousness body, "This world is so cruel to you, why should you be gentle to the world? Let me kill them all, no okay?"

Vera gently touched the energy consciousness body, the coldness and indifference of divinity in her eyes receded like a tide, and some warmer and more humane existences gradually surfaced, calm and even tainted with a little smile.

"Thank you, Fasilia."

[Charging 47%, 49%, 62%... 100%, the energy reserve is complete. 】

"If you don't want to listen to it in the future, just don't listen."

[The city of the abyss is restarted, the gate of Dirac is opened, and the wave frequency of the quantum vacuum particle sea is detected, and it is stable. 】

Vera set a limit on Fasilia with the power of the Mind Stone, so that she could get rid of those pervasive noisy and piercing heart sounds in the future, and then let go, watching the energy consciousness slowly fall.

[Vera, get ready, we are about to leave this world. 】

"Vera!" Zefern, who came out of the floating battleship, connected to Jiang Ming's personal communication, "Jiang Ming, what's going on?"

Jiang Ming didn't speak for a while, but just looked up at the sky in silence, looking at the bright light on the top of the sky that could almost illuminate the whole world.

"...She is absorbing the magic energy of the whole world." After Zevern repeatedly questioned, Jiang Ming finally replied hoarsely, "The genetic disease comes from the pollution of the gene sequence by the energy of the universe, and she wants to take away all the magic energy. Source of infection."

In order to touch the realm of the gods, human beings explored the unknown energy fusion core time and time again, which eventually led to the human gene pool being mixed with infected genes.

Depriving these energy sources is like depriving the source of infection of nutrients, and without the source of infection, the genes that would cause "fission" no longer exist.

That may be the ending that everyone expects and can make everyone happy.

—What about Vera herself?

"I don't need her to do this!" Zevern couldn't maintain his indifferent and hypocritical mask anymore, he wanted to drive the battleship to bring back his own light, "There are other ways, there must be one !"

"Master Zevern." The warriors who came with Zevern, with joy but also sadness in their eyes, knelt on one knee and lowered their heads, "This is our long-cherished wish, and it is also what we have been fighting so far. reason."

"So, please don't hold back. Witness with us—the moment when the dawn comes."

You have seen the sun rise and the moon set, you have seen the stars pass by, then—have you ever seen the moment when the sun crashed?

The blazing light illuminates the world, and the wings that represent the color of the blue sky spread all over the sky, almost giving people the illusion that the blue color is about to turn into another sky.

The endless imaginary numbers of magic energy converged into a bright spot that was almost dazzling, and then fell at the peak of its prosperity.

"Vera!!"

Carrying an energy core capable of destroying a world, the girl fell from the sky, reversed time, traced cause and effect, re-sealed those disasters and despairs into the box, and re-closed Pandora's Box.

Zefern raised his head, and the nightmarish genetic fission pattern wrapped around his neck turned into dark fragments, like the broken and scorched wings of a moth after being licked by the flames, chasing the girl away.

The flame-chasing moth was reduced to ashes in the flames, and she fell from the sky into the deep sea, bringing her hope and all her despair to a dimension beyond the world.

——That is a space that does not exist in any world, a cage of nothingness and coldness, where even hope does not exist.

The moment she fell into the Sea of ​​Dirac, Vera witnessed her soul and body being "quantized". crumbs.

【Vera, what kind of concept is pain to you? ] The system gazed at the girl sinking into the endless deep sea from a god-like perspective, and whispered in her ear.

"Pain?" The girl who melted like ice and snow looked at the ray of sky light shining into the sea, and said calmly:

"I live to die, and come to leave, so every day I live is a feeling of pain."

【The Messenger of the Sky. The Moth Chasing the Flame is over】
