stand-in creed

Nero said flatly, "Let the horse come here."

Diablo let out a "hum", lowering his body weight.

Nero's mouth also emitted the rhythm of ripple breathing, and the dazzling golden knife was dazzling.

"—The Crimson King!"

"—Flow of Light!"

Chapter 95 The Secret Emperor Part [-]

It is precisely because of his experience in a death fight with Dio and the temptation to go through a round of tricks with Diablo that Nero understands that ordinary means can never defeat Diablo.Let alone defeat, even touching Diablo's clothes is a luxury.

You have to get out of your comfort zone.

It is necessary to get closer to Diablo.

"In the first attack on the beach, this guy moved behind me first, and then attacked me after dispelling his ability.

"If you were able to attack me during the deleted time, then he didn't need to intentionally create an intelligence error at all, and he must not be able to directly attack me during the deleted time! And this is my opportunity.

"The strength of the ladder to heaven is mediocre, but the speed is top-notch!

"As long as you seize the moment when you appear, use the extreme speed of the Stairway to Heaven and the destructive power of the Flow of Light to chop off your big pineapple's head! What's more, I, Nero Zeppelin, am not without any Ready, are you really ready for me to fight you like a cowboy?

"The corrugated lens has already been activated!

"The moment I stepped into this stone house, it was already activated!

"And Diablo, that's why I've been paying attention to your "eyes" since just now!The object you are looking at is not me at all, but an "illusion" created by me using the corrugated lens and the refraction of light!

"This battle is my victory. Our feud is over today!"

In an instant, such thoughts and calculations flashed through Nero's mind.

And Nero's Stairway to Heaven, raised the golden knife in his hand high, and greeted Diablo who lowered his center of gravity and ran towards him.

"—Flow of Light!"

"—The Crimson King!"

Time starts to jump.

Nero's consciousness began to fragment, and Diablo stepped into another phase by virtue of his substitute ability beyond ordinary people's cognition, becoming an emperor who jumped out of the time axis.

Also at the same time, Diablo opened his mouth slowly and began his explanation.

"Nero Zeppelin, you are so strong that you can see through the ability of the "Crimson King" at a glance.It's a pity that what you see is not the full picture of my abilities, and you are not aware of the existence of the "epitaph".

"I didn't show any traces of this in the battle on the beach. Whether I used the power of the Crimson King to evade Trixiu's behavior, or the subsequent behavior of evading the golden knife, it can all be explained by "cautious" .After all, in the battle between stand-in messengers, it is undoubtedly the right choice to carefully spy on information and ensure their own safety, so——

"You know nothing of the power of the Epitaph.

"It doesn't matter if you see through the ability to delete time. The "epitaph" derived from this ability is the real killer!The epitaph lifted the veil of the future for me, and once again I saw the future—

"The you in front of me are not you at all, just the phantom you used to lure me into the bait. The real you is hidden "one meter" behind the phantom!

"It doesn't matter if you don't have consciousness in the world of time deletion. For you, the "tactics" have been set up, just like the terrorists have set the countdown and just wait for the time bomb to detonate without thinking!You tried to lure me into the wrong place with illusions, and then decapitated me the moment I ended my abilities.

"Perfect calculation.

"It's a pity, it's a pity! It's a pity that the enemy you met was none other than Diablo! I don't need to rack my brains to think about your thoughts, I just need to "see".You just need to see what actions your future self will make, and then counterattack. "

Diablo came behind Nero again.

It's not an illusion made by Nero, but the real Nero Zeppelin's body.

The Crimson King clenched his fists.

Diablo looked at the shallow wound on Nero's back and smiled triumphantly.

"Look at this wound on your back, Nero Zeppelin.

"No matter how fast your reaction speed is, you can't be faster than me, Diablo, who takes the "first move", you are just a responder.You were lucky that time on the beach and dodged my attack, but this time you won't have that chance——

"—O time, engrave it again!"

The time jump is over.

The consciousness of Nero's fragment was restored, and it was at the moment of recovery. When he found that Diablo did not appear around the phantom as expected, his brain was instantly enveloped by a deadly sense of crisis.Then, from the corner of the eye of the Stairway to Heaven, Diablo appeared behind Nero.

"Has the corrugated lens been seen through?!"

The Crimson King's straight punch was directed at Nero's back.

What caught Diablo's eyes was Nero's expression of astonishment as he gradually turned his head, and Diablo's face burst into ecstasy.

"It's not the same as the one on the beach.

"That time you just observed my attack and avoided it, but this time your brain will have another question and shock of "my phantom attack has been seen through?" No matter how short this thought is, it will eventually occupy part of your reaction time.

"And because of your aspect, this time-consuming reaction time must happen before you realize that I am behind you. You on the beach just narrowly avoided fatal injuries, and now you are in short-term shock because of the bankruptcy of your calculations You, who will need to spend more time to let the brain give the order to avoid, will not be able to escape from the Crimson King!"

"Take one last look at your magnificent Stairway to Heaven, and soon it will be gone with my laugh--

"—The Crimson King!!!"

boom!

The Crimson King's fist hit Nero's body with precision.

Although the position of the fist missed the heart because of Nero's twisting of the body, it was enough to make a big hole in his body.Even Nero had a premonition of such a scene at this moment.Because the tactical failure caused his brain to think one more step, Nero wasted the most precious first-line evasion opportunity.

Can't avoid it.

But even so, Nero still seized the opportunity.

"— Stairway to Heaven!!!"

boom!

The fist of the Crimson King landed firmly on Nero's body.

In an instant, there was a crackling sound in Nero's body. It was the sound of bones breaking, and even Nero's mouth spat out a big mouthful of blood.But even so, the scene where Diablo expected Nero to be punched through did not happen.

And when Diablo saw the fake golden figure on Nero's body, he understood.

"I see. Knowing that he couldn't avoid it, he immediately recalled his avatar to overlap with the main body for defense, and minimized the damage received to avoid the end of death? Very decisive and correct judgment.

"But Nero Zeppelin, there is only a short distance of "thirty centimeters" between my Crimson King and you, and although you have retracted your double, yours who was hooked by an illusion for hunting The golden cutter is still "two meters away".

"My Crimson King can at least throw a punch before the Golden Cutter hits me, and then calmly delete the time to avoid the tracking of the Golden Cutter.

"—you can do nothing, Nero Zeppelin!"

The Crimson King withdrew his right fist and was about to throw his own left fist.

However, at this moment Diablo met Nero's gaze, and his "epitaph" was also activated at this moment, but what caught his eyes was not Nero Zeppelin's corpse at all, but himself. The scene of lying on the ground clutching his throat.

How is this going? !

Just when Diablo was about to delete the time immediately, his eyes widened suddenly.

"...Time cannot be deleted yet.

"The deletion time just now was too long! It almost reached the limit! If I just deleted a few tenths of a second, or even a few seconds, I would be like a swimmer who still has oxygen in his lungs. I can immediately "Consecutive" delete time.

"But not now! The deletion time just now has reached the limit! Now I——

"—I can't do anything anymore!"

It was at the moment when such a thought arose.

puff!

A foam cutter came out of nowhere and tore Diablo's throat.

Blood, overflowing.

Chapter 96 The Secret Emperor Part [-]

The sudden attack caused Diablo's brain to fall into a brief absence.

The moment his throat was torn open, Diablo saw the thing that cut his throat in the splash of blood——

Foam cutter.

It's not a golden knife far away from "two meters", it's just Nero's cheapest water shuriken according to information.

In an instant, Diablo understood.

"……rainwater."

Diablo opened his mouth, showing such a mouth shape.

With his trachea cut open, he couldn't even make a sound at this moment.

"That's right, it's rain."

Nero pointed at Diablo.

Nero said calmly: "It's a thunderstorm tonight. I don't like to gamble on luck. I know that even at low altitudes, as long as I fly long enough, being struck by lightning is no longer a matter of "probability", but a matter of "time". That's why I decided to fight to the death with you.

"You probably guessed this, but even so, compared to the open field, you still chose this "Nuraj Sanctuary" as our battle location, after all, it is more or less indoor.

"And I, who didn't want to be struck by lightning, naturally went to the appointment happily.

"Remember the scene when we confronted each other in this room like a two-person turn at the beginning? The reason why I want to go around in circles with you is because I want to sprinkle as much rain as possible on the ground of this temple. And these rainwater All were touched by the Stairway to Heaven when making the Ripple Lens and incorporated into my "ripple" rainwater.

"Afterwards, all I need to do is to let the rain be like poisonous snakes in the shadows, launching a fatal blow to you when you show your flaws.

"Of course, this is just a 'backup plan'.The ultimate move I am really preparing is to use illusions to lure you into the bait. After all, even if I am a Ripple Messenger with a strong body, I don't know if I can survive the punch of your "King of Crimson".It seems that I am lucky, thanks to the fact that I exercise a lot on weekdays.

"Thanks to this thunderstorm, after all—

"According to common people's perception, it's not uncommon for such a field hut to have water on the ground in such a heavy rainy day."

While speaking, Nero felt the state of his body.

At this moment, the pain in the abdominal cavity seemed to be overwhelming.Not only the internal organs seem to be tangled together, but some parts seem to be damaged and broken, and several bones are also broken. The condition can be described as terrible.

It's only natural at times like this——

It's time for a mouthful of ripples.

"call--"

inhale.exhale.inhale.exhale.

The hand of Stairway to Heaven carefully inserted into Nero's body, and began to tidy up the tangled internal organs, aligning the broken ribs with the ribs, correcting and splicing them together.At the same time, the radiance of ripples bloomed on Nero's body and began to heal the wounds in Nero's body.

Of course, Nero's injury can never heal as fast as Dio's, and physical regeneration is the domain of vampires.

If vampires can use blood sucking to give themselves a mouthful of super instant milk anytime and anywhere, then what the Ripple Envoy can do is to use the power of ripples to give himself the buff of permanent slow healing.

talking room.

Diablo, who was almost unable to breathe due to his trachea being cut, fell to the ground with a "plop".

' Exactly the same as I saw in Epitaph! '

Diablo's eyes were on fire.

Extreme anger and unwillingness flooded Diablo's heart, but at the same time, the epitaph once again showed Diablo a picture of the future.

Diablo's pupils shrank.

In the picture, I lost my right arm, and the other three limbs were twisted and deformed at strange angles.The whole person fell into the ruins of the Nuraghi people like a homeless wild dog, probably dead.

"Gollum..."

Diablo tried his best to cover his throat with his left hand, trying to force out the indistinct syllables from his throat.

And the right hand pointed to Nero Zeppelin who was right in front of him.

"I do not accept!

"I, Diablo, will never accept such a fate——

"—The Crimson King!!!"

Time is deleted again.

Diablo came to Nero's back for the third time, but just as he found the right position, Diablo's pupils suddenly shrank.
