The Crucifixion Cross

"Is there anyone else waiting for me?"

"That's needless to say?" Wraith curled his lips, and said angrily: "If it wasn't for waiting for you to give that gift to the kid from the Baiyu family, we would have been able to set off a long time ago..."

"Women are destined not to understand men's romance...Of course, I didn't expect that kid to be so calm, and his cherishment of Mei was beyond my expectation... Sure enough, entrusting Mei to him It was the right choice."

"In your opinion, this may be true, but in my eyes, this is an out-and-out act of scum? If you want me to say, you will definitely be punished in the future!"

"Probably..." Leiden Ryoma smiled, and then took the initiative to change the subject, "By the way, where is the 'destination'?"

"Does that matter?" Wraith kicked the last baffle and said in a natural tone: "Our destination, of course, is tomorrow!"

Following Wraith's words, cracks slowly appeared on the inner wall of the cell.

Realizing that something was wrong, Raiden Ryoma raised his eyebrows, stepped forward quickly, and came outside the cell with Wraith.

Almost the moment he left the cell, the crack on the wall finally spread to the entire wall, and then...

boom--

There was a heavy muffled sound, and the inner wall was completely destroyed by some powerful external force, leaving only the bottom with some broken walls.

The long-absent warm sunlight entered the dark cell along the huge flared opening, and fell on the shoulders of Raiden Ryoma.

The light that he hadn't seen for a long time made Raiden Ryoma, who was used to the night, frowned, and subconsciously closed his eyes.

When he finally adjusted to the strong sunlight, the roar of a helicopter's propeller reached Raiden Ryoma's ears.

Slowly opening his eyes, a helicopter with a messy sci-fi shape entered his field of vision.

However, what Raiden Ryoma really cares about is not the technology used in this helicopter, but the pattern printed on the side of the fuselage—that is a giant snake roaring in the waves around the atrium (world).

Under the sunlight, the snake in the atrium seemed to exude a domineering aura that would overturn the entire atrium (world).

The former Destiny A-rank Valkyrie Agent Wraith is at the member table, reaching out to the Raiden Ryoma below:

"—Finally, welcome to Jormungand, Thunder Dragon... no, you should be called 'Thor' now."

"'Thor'..." Raiden Ryoma smiled, "It really is a code name that suits me... By the way, where is my Mjolnir?"

"Here it is!"

As he said that, Wraith threw a button controller with a modern style to Raiden Ryoma.

"The door to the new era is up to you to open it yourself, Thor."

"As you wish..." Thunderbolt Ryoma—no, Thor caught the button, put his rough thumb on the red button from holding the sword all the year round, and rubbed it lightly, "Don't dare to ask your ear—— —”

When his thumb finally pressed the button symbolizing the 'new era', a violent explosion sounded in an instant—not just the prison he was in, not just the suburb of Canghai City where the prison was located, but the entire prison. sea!

The explosion caused by the high explosives made by Honkai Neng swallowed the entire Canghai City in an instant!

Perhaps a simple explosion cannot completely collapse this city that symbolizes 'modernization'. However, the high concentration of Houkai energy contained in the explosives spread like a plague, eroding every corner of the city...

The roar of the town's collapse, the people's screams of fear, blood and death...

The deep purple cloud of smoke that engulfed all of this was as turbulent as a sea wave, as if a giant snake was roaring in the sea!

Thor on the helicopter looked coldly at the scene of catastrophe printed and distributed by himself, his eyes were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, neither sad nor happy.

"Each 'evolution' is accompanied by a huge price. For the sake of the future of the entire human race, I can only bury your today... Whether it is hatred or resentment, do as you like! However, if you want to stab the blade If you want to enter the heart of me, the culprit, you have to live at least until everything is over... Struggle to your heart's content, sacrifices! Whether it's to survive, or to kill me on the throne of the sky!"

Hua Ling's words: I agreed that I wouldn't go off topic this time. Look, isn't this the main story line?

By the way, there are several climaxes in this volume, Raiden Ryoma and Jormungand are just the beginning, and there are so many exciting plots later, I am wondering whether to arrange more volumes...

Chapter 19. Dusty silence

Vienna·Central Cathedral·Underground Gantry

After the grand city in the sky was officially built, the original base of Destiny, the central cathedral located on the outskirts of Vienna, gradually lost its 'popularity'.

Except for the cleaner who dangles around with a broom every day, who is not wise and does not know how to split in the air, there are almost no other people here.

However, although the heads of various departments have already transferred their office locations to the Sky City, the Central Cathedral has not completely stopped functioning, and still undertakes certain functions that the Sky City cannot completely replace for the time being—for example, Ganaku .

Unlike Mishima, who had no Care technical strength at all, and anti-entropy, which has been artificially restricting the use of Honkai, Destiny has the most Honkai-type military weapons in the world.

The variety of these weapons is staggering, from the common Honkai enhanced version of tanks, aircraft and cannons to the "God Machine" series of weapons independently developed and manufactured by Destiny based on the design data of the previous era to the strongest God's Key. .

A wide variety of Houkai can drive weapons, which is also an important reason why the Central Cathedral still assumes the function of the Ganaku.

To maintain the operation of the city of the sky, it is impossible to rely solely on the existing technology of human beings. The powerful power provided by the collapse is indispensable. In other words, the entire city of the sky is actually a super large collapse. Broken equipment, the core drive engine as its energy center endlessly provides a huge amount of Honkai energy for the operation of the city in the sky.

Although this makes Sky City far more powerful than all mortal weapons, it also brings a considerable degree of danger—the reason why anti-entropy is unwilling to abuse the Houkai energy is that the Houkai energy itself is uncontrollable. Although Tianming's technical strength can be called the world's number one, even Tianming cannot completely eliminate hidden safety hazards.

In order to choke the danger in its cradle, Archbishop Otto Apocalypse voluntarily gave up the practice of transferring all military equipment to the city of the sky, and only kept some of the "magic machine" as the main system. Functional weapons, some special 'weapons' are still stored in the underground storage of the Central Cathedral.

The destination of the mask girl's trip is a few of those 'special weapons'.

After the Sky Castle was built, there were very few people staying in the Central Cathedral, but except for the cleaners, most of them were Otto's confidantes. For the masked girl, this also means that she can trust these guys [-]%... right?

"Greetings from Jiushu, miss—"

Beside the entrance to the underground passage leading to Ganaku, the vice-captain of the Immortal Blade, Rita Roseweather, who hadn't appeared for a long time, greeted the masked girl with a smile.

"Miss...what's the matter with this title?"

Compared to the question "Why Rita is here", the answer can be known without even thinking about it, the masked girl is more curious about the name she said.

"Because you are Kirin Apocalypse now."

The etiquette and smile on Rita's face are still perfect, but the words in her mouth...

It can only be said that if it was a month ago, the masked girl would have gone crazy long ago, but now she has already gotten used to Rita's poisonous tongue, and gradually accepted the facts that she couldn't bear in the past, so the masked girl just gently After saying "Oh", he stopped talking to the black-bellied maid and walked towards the passage on his own.

Faced with the eldest lady's unmannered behavior, Rita was not angry, she just smiled and followed silently.

"Is there something special about coming to this deserted place on purpose today, miss?"

"If you can get rid of this bad habit of poking at people's weaknesses with every word, I don't think the relationship between us should be as bad as it is now." The masked girl said lightly without turning her head: "It's impossible for you not to know the real purpose of my coming here, right? Or do you want me to repeat the words 'I will use the black abyss and white flowers to deal with Siegfried Kaslana' in front of you Are you happy?"

"How could it be?" Rita's smile was as perfect as ever, and she didn't seem to have any extra emotion because of the masked girl's reaction, "I just want to confirm your choice, and I don't mean to provoke you. miss?"

Facing Rita's explanation, the masked girl, who had already figured out how dark this person really was, didn't bother to pay attention at all, and just said "hehe" and stopped talking.

The destination of this trip - the underground ganaku located 500 meters directly below the central cathedral is already very close. On the door engraved with the three royal families - Apocalypse, Kaslana and Shaniat's family After Hui's dark gray mechanical door came into view, the masked girl stopped on her own initiative.

It is true that she is now the archbishop's adopted sister and assistant Kirin Apocalypse, but her powers are not high enough to open the door of the central storage room.

There are only a few people who can do this, including Otto himself and the captain of the Immortal Blade, Ulandal.

Regrettably, Rita Roseweather, the deputy captain of the Indestructible Blade, who is deeply trusted by Otto and has a very bad relationship with the masked girl, is one of them.

Rita has long received an order from the archbishop, 'to fully cooperate with all actions of Kirin Apocalypse'.

The steps to open the door are very cumbersome, at least thirteen layers of verification procedures are required in the middle, the process is enough to be used in several spy action movies, but Rita is already a skilled worker, although the tedious process is a headache, But she's already done it with ease.

Amid the heavy mechanical roar, the thick dark gray iron door slowly opened.

Rita took the initiative to back away from the door, bowed respectfully, and only followed up with a smile after the masked girl walked in.

"Miss, do you only need the Heiyuan Baihua?" Rita asked softly, "If so, you can go directly to the A-13 area. The Heiyuan Baihua is stored there now."

"Didn't Ulandal take it away?"

"The captain doesn't need the black abyss and white flowers for the time being," Rita smiled slightly. "Besides, what the captain has to deal with...how could it be more important than executing the traitors of destiny? Even if the captain really needs the black abyss and white flowers, At this time, it must be given to you."

"...You seem to be looking forward to the sight of me stabbing Siegfried Kaslana to death?" The masked girl raised her eyebrows.

"How?" Rita's smile was as perfect as ever, and she didn't seem to notice that the aura around the masked girl was gradually becoming sharper, "I'm just stating the facts—what are you going to do with the black abyss and white flowers? Only you can decide, I am only responsible for delivering it to you."

While talking, the two of them had arrived at the A-13 area where the Heiyuan Baihua was stored.

In the deepest part of the various weapon cabinets lined up in rows, the masked girl saw the weapon she was going to take away at a glance——the Sixth God's Key, the Key of Withering and Creation, which symbolizes the title of "The Strongest Destiny" Black abyss and white flowers.

At the same time, it is also the "strongest" weapon held by Cecilia Shaniat, the mother of the masked girl, who was once the strongest Valkyrie of Destiny.

Hua Ling's words: Let me give you a reassurance first - the masked girl will not kill Ziegfried, if the beginning and end of everything is simply shot by the masked girl to kill Siegfried, then I Whoever wrote the story was so remiss...

Chapter 20. The Same Path

The giant lance intertwined with pitch black and pure white sleeps quietly in the deepest part of the weapon cabinet.

Unlike other weapons, the weapon cabinet filled with black abyss and white flowers looks more like a transparent coffin than a display stand.

The pure white and pitch-black petals are scattered in the coffin in an orderly manner, combined with the extremely aesthetic shape of the Heiyuan white flower, vaguely creating a sleeping beauty-like scene surrounded by flowers.

The pure white spearhead that symbolizes 'creation' is spotless, and the gun body that blooms like a purple iris wraps around the jet-black tail tip that symbolizes 'withering', although the black and white of 'creation' and 'withering' produce Strong visual conflict, but there is an inexplicable sense of coordination...

"This is the God's Key Heiyuan White Flower that your mother once held." Rita stood next to the weapon cabinet, her posture was as respectful and humble as ever, she was the spokesperson of a perfect maid to anyone, but from the slightly raised From the corner of the mouth, there was a faint trace of black belly, "For you, this should be a very novel experience, right? Take the weapon that your mother used to go...hehehe~"

The masked girl who has long been used to the naughty mouth of the black-bellied maid is not angry—at least on the surface, she neither trembled nor stamped her teeth, but said in a tone that could not hear too many emotional ups and downs. :

"Do you know, Rita? If it wasn't because I didn't want to have too much trouble with Ulandal, you would have died more than [-] times."

The masked girl's voice was as flat as water, but the anger hidden in it was so obvious that it didn't need to be emphasized any more.

However, Rita seemed to be unaware of this, and remained calm and composed as always.

"Is that right?"

She still maintains the gentle smile of a perfect maid, she doesn't seem to notice the oppression from the masked girl at all, and even the depths of her eyes are peaceful and peaceful.

"That's a pity..."

Rita sighed softly.

When they met for the first time, Su Fei once used the phrase "icy and cool fragrance, bright and shallow smile" in "A Generation of Famous Prostitute Liu Rushi" to describe this girl who is as beautiful as a pansy flower, but if Seeing this scene now, the good impression he had when he first saw him would probably be severely discounted, right?

After all, a girl with a tricky mouth is not always so likable - of course, the venomous tongue attribute that can be classified as 'cute' is the exception among the exceptions.

However, for the masked girl who is also a girl—a top-notch beautiful girl, she doesn't care about what is "cute" or not. Ah', other than that, not even the slightest thrill.

Maybe after getting along for a long time, it will naturally become like this?

Obviously, when we first met, I was genuinely angry because of the other party's black belly, but after going through the process from familiarity to numbness, even the word 'anger' gradually became pale and powerless...

To this day, even though he said things like 'you have died more than [-] times already', the flames of anger seemed to be burning well, but... at this time, he really could only smile helplessly, right?

But then again, 'what a pity'...?

"Rita, are you... are you looking for death?"

The masked girl frowned, and suddenly changed the topic to a completely different place from before.

However, what responded to her was still Rita's perfect and mechanical smile.

"Even if I'm looking for death on purpose, I won't provoke you to kill me, okay? This is a personal point... It's just a bad taste~"

Rita's reply made the masked girl shake her head and sigh heavily.

"Sure enough, I still hate you as always..."

"If you like me, you will be in trouble~"

Rita smiles.

However, this time, her smile didn't last forever, because just after she finished speaking, the beep of the communicator sounded in the quiet underground ganaku.

Just as the masked girl turned her head, Rita had already taken out the communicator—by the way, after the lesson of the masked girl’s last incident, Destiny has completely banned all products bearing the Mishima trademark, no matter what Whether it is for public use or private use, what Rita has now is the personal customized style prepared by Destiny for the captain-level characters.

What appeared on the virtual screen was a beautiful girl's face, but no matter how she looked at it, it was a girl's face.

After connecting, the girl dressed similarly to Rita first saluted respectfully and said hello, and then said slowly in the same indifferent tone as Rita: "Vice Captain, Canghai City was bombed by Jormungand."

"Oh?"

"what??!!"

Playfulness and surprise, calmness and unbelief, the differences in Rita's and the mask girl's reactions to this sentence make it hard to imagine that the mask girl's current identity, Kirin Apocalypse, is actually a veritable "superior person".

But it’s no wonder that the Immortal Blade squad belonging to the current strongest Valkyrie of Destiny, Ulandal, is independent of the regular combat troops, and only accepts the dispatch of the captain Ulandal, and Ulandal also Only obeying Archbishop Otto Apocalypse, it is quite normal for the masked girl to be ignorant of the information that only circulates inside the Immortal Blade.

However, even if the masked girl knows how special the independence of the Immortal Blade is in the entire Destiny, it doesn't mean that she can remain indifferent to the maid girl's words——

"Are you kidding me? Was Canghai City bombed? Or Jormungand? Doing such a thing at this sensitive time, what good is it for this organization that has always been as invisible as a background board?!"

"Sarah, who knows?" Rita chuckled.

Unlike the mask girl, she knows Jormungand... It can only be said that it is far more than the mask girl imagined.

At least, she knew that the Jormungand organization was about to welcome a new member... No, judging from the current situation, Thor's position probably already belonged, right?

If nothing else happens, he should be Mei Raiden's father...
