Seeing this, Ran Bing asked with concern: "Mark, are you okay?"
Mark was breathing heavily, like a drowning man who had just returned to the shore.
"fine......"
He forced out a smile.
Meeting Ran Bing's concerned eyes, the expression on Mark's face suddenly solidified.
Because what he saw was not the fair face of his beloved, but a faceless skeleton.
Not only Ran Bing, but everyone present turned into bones.
At the same time, their clothes became tattered and stained with blood!
"What...what the hell is going on?"
Even though Mark had a strong mind, seeing such a strange scene made his palms get cold.
"What else could be going on? This is our wedding." The Bone Lady whispered softly.
Mark shook his head desperately.
Then, he discovered something strange about himself.
At some point, he became like everyone else, losing all his fur and flesh, leaving only white bones.
"It turns out I'm already dead..."
Mark looked at his hands and whispered to himself.
Yes.
He remembered everything.
He lost to the giant pole-devouring beast.
Together with Ran Bing, Mo Cheng, Feixue and others.
The wilderness hunting team and the city defense army went to hell together!
"So, is this hell?"
Mark let out a long sigh and for no apparent reason remembered the place described in the Light and Shadow Church scriptures.
Eternal hell.
Suffer endlessly.
Thoughts are clear.
In an instant, the white bones disappeared.
He was the only one left in the whole world.
But Mark was in an extremely calm mood.
It was so calm that even he was surprised.
Time passed little by little.
Maybe it's a moment, maybe it's thousands of years.
Mark's thoughts gradually withered, and his whole person was like a real skeleton in a grave, sitting motionless in place.
I do not know how long it has been.
"Huh~"
A gust of wind blew into this dead place.
Marco raised his head in confusion.
I found a familiar face.
"Who are you?" He asked this sentence through two rows of lipless teeth.
"We haven't seen each other for just a little while, and you've forgotten me? Qiao Qiao, I'm very sad."
The man smiled and stretched out his hand, sticking out a finger.
Mark was stunned for a few seconds, standing there stupidly without any movement.
The man pursed his lips.
"Don't just stand there stupidly. It's not over yet. There is still hope for everything."
"hope......"
Mark repeated the word silently.
A bright light suddenly flashed through his empty eyes.
He stretched out his bony fingers in a strange way.
The two fingers touch together.
The light shines brightly!
Indescribable vitality returned to Mark's body, and the lost flesh and blood gradually grew back.
But in the blink of an eye, he turned into the majestic hunting team commander again.
"That makes sense." The man nodded slightly.
The words fall.
'Snapped.'
The illusion is shattered.
Mark's consciousness returns to reality.
...
...
real world.
When he opened his eyes, the first person Mark saw was the lover he thought about day and night.
"Ran Bing."
He spoke tremblingly, fearing that everything in front of him was an illusion.
Ran Bing was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
"Yes, it's me, I'm Ran Bing!"
"I...I am..." Mark struggled to hold himself up, his face full of confusion.
"I don't know exactly what happened. But there is no doubt that we are safe."
While Ran Bing was talking, he hugged Mark gently, like a piece of fragile porcelain.
She was really too afraid of losing the person in front of her.
Mark was silent and covered his forehead with his hands.
Then, he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked: "By the way, the lighthouse! How is the lighthouse?"
Ran Bing said nothing.
At this moment, a tall, white-haired woman walked over. She was the survivor on the ground, Bai Yuekui, an elderly and beautiful girl who had lived for more than eighty years.
Looking at Mark, she said calmly: "In the future, there will be no lighthouse."
No more lighthouse?
How can this be!
Mark suddenly couldn't sit still.
Bai Yuekui said: "Let's take a look at the surrounding situation first, City Lord Mark."
After hearing this, Mark looked around belatedly.
Devastated everywhere.
There are burning flames everywhere.
far away.
The lighthouse lay across the ground like a whale stranded on the beach.
Some familiar faces were busy moving supplies and rescuing as many useful things as possible.
lighthouse......
Still made an emergency landing.
Mark looked gloomy.
Immediately afterwards, he asked: "My memory is very vague. Excuse me, was it you who saved me?"
"Me? I don't have the ability to save people from the mouth of the 'Emperor Level Devouring Beast'."
Bai Yuekui smiled slightly.
"To be honest, I don't know the specific situation, but what is certain is that there is a mysterious force that saved the lighthouse and your lives."
Mark looked a little dazed.
He thought of the mysterious man he saw in that lonely place.
Bai Yuekui crossed his arms and said, "In short, the lighthouse has become a thing of the past."
After a pause, she continued: "Fortunately, the 'Emperor-level Devouring Beast' that suddenly appeared later not only swallowed the first 'Emperor-level Devouring Beast', but also leveled the surrounding area and cleared the surrounding area.
Dozens of kilometers of spinegu swarms...
All in all, we have some time to recuperate.
Join ‘Taoyuan Township’, it will be your new home.”
With that said, Bai Yuekui stretched out his hand to Mark.
Mark hesitated for a few seconds and held the hand tightly.
At the same time, the ‘Xingxuan Passage’.
[After using Godzilla to kill the pole-devouring beast, you will erase the memory of you in this world. Is this really a good thing? 】
"What's wrong?"
[Even if you don’t think about yourself, you still have to think about your clone number. After all, people have become the city lord’s adviser. It would be a pity to throw away the vest. ]
"My pleasure."
【Okay, okay, you are the boss anyway.】
"snort!"
[Hey, you said you are fat and you are out of breath. There are so many worlds and so many clones. Only the clone in this world persists until your true body comes. What a great opportunity, have you missed it in vain? 】
"What do you know? What I care about is this world? What I care about is the entire Mana ecosystem."
[I think you are just soft-hearted! Where is the Jon Joestar who kidnapped the felons to escape from prison in Impel Down? 】
"Everyone can grow, and I am leading good people now."
【Bah, the scum of the world! Disgraceful!】
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Known as the fishy swirling tunnel that only the 'Devouring Beast' can pass through, Jon was as casual as if he were in his own back garden.
certainly.
He was not idle either and started a never-ending bickering with his substitute.
‘Hiss.’
"Roar!"
'Oooo!'
All kinds of strange screams came into his ears, but he pretended not to hear them.
The warning was in vain, and the pole-devouring beasts and sub-species of pole-devouring beasts lurking in the 'Virginous Whirlpool Channel' showed no mercy and bared their fangs and claws at Jon.
But, there is no exception.
The attacks of those polar-devouring beasts were like mud oxen entering the sea, without even a trace of waves.
Not only that.
Trapped by those transparent filaments invisible to outsiders, the poleeaters and subspecies of poleeaters showed enthusiastic expressions towards Jon, as if they had seen the legendary gods.
For a moment, the roar shook the sky.
Countless poleeaters and subspecies of poleeaters paid homage to Jon.
"Although I'm not a human being, the beliefs I offer are no different from those of humans... Got it, let's go find some aliens and monsters and ask them to worship me as a god."
Jon touched his smooth chin and murmured to himself.
[Good idea.] Little D’s classmate responded very cooperatively.
The effort of speaking.
Some tentacle-like stamens stretched out, like flexible poisonous snakes.
Jon's eyes narrowed.
Well done!
Summoning a substitute, countless transparent filaments submerged into the tops of those stamens.
You suck me, I suck you.
Nothing is fairer.
Obviously.
The Flower of Mana bred by the Mana Ecology is no match for Little D. In less than a breath, its authority was completely taken away.
Countless information poured into my mind instantly.
Jon finally understood the truth about Mana's ecology.
This is the Earth in a certain time and space.
In the old world, human science and technology developed rapidly.
At the same time, the environment has also been severely damaged.
Just like the stress mechanism, a creature called "Earth Vine" appeared on the earth.
‘Earth vines’ began to attack humans unscrupulously, destroying the homes that humans depended on for survival.
This phenomenon is called "divine enlightenment" by interested people.
And ‘Mana Ecology’ appeared after ‘Divine Enlightenment’.
It can be said that the 'Mana Ecology' was entirely created by humans. Because of the "divine revelation" that heralded the end of mankind, scientists began to conduct "eternal life experiments" in an attempt to find a way to save mankind.
Later, a person named Dr. Jones stole the 'Angel Potion' and injected it into the experimental subjects, triggering a series of mutations. The 'Flower of Mana' grew from the experimental subjects and gave birth to the Extreme Devouring Beast.
Like the earth's biosphere, the 'Mana Ecology' is also a complete system.
It has its own living and non-living things, such as the pole-eating beast, the flower of Mana, the spine Gu, the soil, etc. In order to maintain its own stability, the Mana ecology needs a constant input of energy, and its energy source is human beings.
The "origin" of.
Various subspecies of pole-eating beasts, as well as 'monarch level' and 'emperor-level' pole-devouring beasts, are the products of the evolution of the 'Mana Ecology'.
It's different from what Jon guessed.
‘Mana Ecology’ does not have a public spiritual network, but follows instinct to self-regulate.
For example, the attack by the 'Emperor-level Devouring Beast' this time is exactly the response of 'Mana Ecology' to the reduction of the pressure on the lighthouse to survive...
Ahem.
That is to say.
Jon, who advocates reclamation, will take the blame.
"It's the Earth's defense mechanism again. It's so boring. What a 'vaccine man plu'." Jon twitched his lips.
Those who destroy the environment are rich people.
And those rich people took spaceships to immigrate to other planets long before the beasts ravaged the earth.
A group of old, weak, sick and disabled were left, sucked to death by the Devouring Beast.
Who can you talk to about this matter?
never mind.
It was too philosophical a question for him to think about.
Rather than complaining to the humans of this world, it is more reliable to seize the authority of the entire 'Mana Ecology' as soon as possible.
Just do it.
All the thin threads on Little D’s back were pierced into the ‘Flower of Mana’.
[The current progress is 100%. Congratulations, partner, you have gained a ‘fully automatic faith contribution assembly line’]
The so-called ‘fully-automatic belief contribution assembly line’ naturally refers to the fact that from now on, the pole-devouring beasts born from the ‘Mana Ecology’ will automatically become Jon’s followers, freeing him from the trouble of traveling around.
But the problem is.
He does not have that much life "source" for the "mana ecology" to swallow.
wait.
It doesn't have to be a human life.
If he remembered correctly, something seemed to work.
