With a casual swing of the beam axe, Azdahaka looked at the young man standing in front of him.
"Young Master, whose side are you on? You inherited the bloodline of someone who rebelled against the gods, and your family members were destroyed by that guy. What's the point of stopping me? Do you think it's good to maintain the status quo? Or are you content with playing the role?
The character in that guy’s script?”
By the end of the words, Youya had turned into a disappointment that contained anger.
It is true that other people's choices are his own business. No matter what the final result is, it can only be borne by him and has nothing to do with Azdahaka. But for Azdahaka, Roland is special.
Heir, adopted son, subject of observation, young genius, lucky man with a lot of luck...these dazzling auras did not attract Azdahaka's attention at all. The humiliation of being defeated did make him care, but compared to the "heresy", he was concerned about it.
Nothing.
There are indeed groups in Alfheim that claim to be "anti-system", such as liberals, but those guys have no intention of overthrowing Li Lin at all. At best, they are just tinkering within the allowed framework, and they did not exist from the beginning.
Plan to resist.
No one will be angry about typhoons and floods. Facing existences that transcend wisdom and common sense, ancient species, intelligent species - any intelligent creature will not resist and will question from the bottom of their heart. The only ones who rebel against this existence are heretics.
That's right, Roland, like him, is a heretic who lives under Li Lin's domination system, but has a strong dislike for this system.
"Originally I thought we were the same kind of people, so you can definitely understand what I want to express."
Shrugging his shoulders, he looked at Roland with ridicule and superiority in his eyes, as if he looked down upon cowards and deserters.
However, Azdahaka's answer was unexpectedly dull.
"I understand everything you said."
Facing the contemptuous eyes, Roland continued:
"For that person, other people's feelings, human feelings, ethics, morality, etc. are all secondary or even unnecessary considerations. The only priority in his eyes is the result. In order to achieve the result, he will do whatever it takes."
Sacrifice others, humiliate others, play with others - whenever necessary, Li Lin can do it without hesitation, without blinking an eye. Like the consciousness branding technique for Azdahaka, it ignores his personality and wishes.
Forcing him to keep secrets is a very common thing for him. As for how many people have been sacrificed and how many people will be sacrificed in order to realize his plan, it is even more difficult to get a detailed answer.
If there is a "devil king" in this world who must be defeated, there is probably no one more suitable for this role than Li Lin.
"To be fair, what you did is no different from Li Lin. If you want to hit him as a goal, there is nothing to say about doing it to this extent. But, Azdahaka, you are too irresponsible."
"Responsibility?"
As if hearing a joke, Azdahaka burst out laughing.
"I thought you were going to say something, but it turned out to be like this... Didn't I already say it? This is to correct-"
"You're just doing it for yourself."
Leng Che's assertion cut off the high-sounding words, and Azdahaka's smile froze.
"No matter what, it is impossible to prevent the final completion of the plan, even if the planned steps are successfully disrupted, or even the entire prevention is in crisis, as long as he is still there, he alone can turn the entire situation around - you should know this very well
.But why are you still going round and round and working so hard to do something that is destined to fail? Even if there is an element of wall of will in this, it is too unnatural."
The only thing that can be restricted by the operation of consciousness is the means. It will not have any impact on Azdahaka's desire for revenge, and it is impossible to prevent Azdahaka from taking revenge. However, although Azdahaka's actions are in the name of "revenge"
"In the name of Li Lin, none of the things were directly aimed at Li Lin himself. They were completely targeted at peripheral organizations. The meaning behind this kind of action can be deduced with a little thought.
"From the beginning, you have actually given up the idea of revenge against Li Lin. Because you know that no matter how strong you become, targeting Li Lin has no chance of winning. You can't take revenge and you are unwilling to just obey orders like this.
Li Lin, so you came up with the plan of 'sabotaging Li Lin's plan and retaliating indirectly', using this nonsense to vent your dissatisfaction."
"Venting? You actually said that all I did was just venting?"
Azdahaka's color suddenly changed, his face no longer looked frivolous, and boiling anger was constantly coming up.
"A brat like you, who can't do anything by hiding behind Li Lin... actually brazenly said that I was joking? You, who can't do anything, do you have the right to say that I was joking?!"
"Have you ever thought about how many people will die because of this after you succeed? Have you ever thought about how Li Lin might turn the world into this if the plan fails?"
Purple Eyes glanced around, and saw that several new crystal diamond creatures had appeared on the land covered by crystal diamonds in just a few minutes, and the mixed red and black colors had already touched the distant horizon.
It is not difficult to imagine that as long as Li Lin has that intention, the whole world will become such a cruel and beautiful scene.
"Reckless about the consequences, irresponsible for the lives of others, and equally irresponsible for your own life, wearing the mask of an 'Avenger' to vent your dissatisfaction and uneasiness about the situation - what is this if not nonsense?"
"That's enough! Go to hell!"
The violent roars and movements were synchronized. When he finished the last word, the beam ax sword appeared above Roland. Almost at the same moment, the bright red steel cylinder rolled in front of Azdahaka. Without any hesitation, the water
The elf split the dry ice fire extinguisher in two, and the frozen water column blocked Azdahaka's path.
"Now, do it!"
The petite figure leaned out of the carriage, and a loud rumbling sound and dazzling light engulfed the space. The columnar lightning struck Azdahaka without fail and exploded violently.
The strong light subsided, and the loud explosion-like sound spread far away. The smell of burnt smoke filled the surrounding area.
"Ahem... Do you really have control over your output?"
After removing the barrier, Roland let out a small complaint.
"Of course, otherwise you would have no chance to complain to me."
Jumping onto the roof of the car, Favna stuck out her tongue playfully.
After learning that the opponent used water-based spells, Roland formulated a combat plan to lure the opponent into a VIP carriage with insulating materials on the sandwich, and then use electric shock to subdue the opponent. Due to the existence of the "spinning wheel", there was only one lightning strike in this operation
opportunity, in this near-vacuum environment of mana, human beings
Even if the magician gathers some mana around him in advance, the power of the lightning strike phenomenon cannot meet the minimum requirements. But as a dragon princess and a thunder dragon, Favna does not have this problem. All they have to do is to seduce the careless.
Just let the enemy walk into the designated location and then open the barrier to protect yourself.
"But why cast the spell at this time? When I saw there was no water around him, I thought the battle was going to fail."
"It is a highly powerful beam weapon."
Looking at the hilt of the beam sword that had been put away in his hand, Roland replied:
"Particle beams, lasers - beam weapons are strictly prohibited from being used during thunderstorms. This is because if a high-temperature beam is emitted into the atmosphere, the air will be dissociated into positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons, and the current will flow faster in the atmosphere.
Electricity is conducted in the gas. To put it bluntly, sending a high-heat beam towards the thundercloud is actually equivalent to opening a conductive path for lightning. The particle beam itself is charged, which is even more serious. It is basically an extra-large lightning rod."
The beam ax sword will release a deflection force field to prevent the user from being harmed by high heat and electric charges. The handle is also wrapped with a layer of heat-insulating material. Under normal circumstances, it does not care about electric shock at all. But in the face of Favna's lightning strike, all
The protection will instantly fail due to overload, and Azdahaka holding the sword hilt will directly withstand lightning strikes and high heat shocks.
"The next step is to wait for the 'spinning wheel' to disintegrate and find a way to stop the boiling mirror world..."
"The planning is really thoughtful."
The unrestrained voice of an old friend penetrated the smoke, and the sound of water flow became louder and louder. The air flow blew away the smoke, and the translucent water ball was revealed.
"Using the attraction of beam weapons to lightning strikes to attract lightning strikes to me who has a greater output power. Hmm, it is indeed a very creative idea. I didn't expect it. But I am originally a three-headed person who is particularly good at controlling water.
Dragon, I know the characteristics, weaknesses, and strengths of water very clearly. It is possible to remove impurities from water and build a protective wall with nearly insulating pure water, Your Highness, Princess~~~"
Kicking away the completely burned hilt of the left sword, the pure water wall slowly fell, and Azdahaka looked at Favna with interest.
"I didn't expect any chance encounter. Her Highness Favna would be here and volunteered to be the young master's last trump card... It seems that the elders of the Senate do not intend to continue to cling to neutrality."
Fafnir remained silent and allowed Azdahaka to speak.
Lighting another cigarette, Azdahaka smiled proudly.
"The last trump card has been used, so why don't you just give up and get out of the way?"
"Wrong."
Roland responded calmly.
"If I were you, I would choose to retreat now."
"Oh? Do you have any secret tricks? Could it be that you want to call me daddy?"
"Finally, I would like to advise you to quit smoking."
"ha?"
Azdahaka stared at Roland and spit out the cigarette butt that was almost burning to the filter. The flickering cigarette butt rolled down and fell. In his peripheral vision, the cigarette butt merged with the foaming objects on the ground, like broken ice cubes.
, the moment the blue flames appeared, Azdahaka’s expression stiffened.
"You...!!!!!"
The flame of the cigarette butt expanded instantly, and the next moment, the methane fully mixed with the air exploded. The explosion and flames engulfed the unsuspecting Azdahaka.
"Get down!!"
Half a second before the methane gas was detonated, Roland shouted loudly, and his hurried voice was blown away by the blast wind. Although he already knew his battle plan in advance: take out the methane flammable ice used for cooking in the kitchen, and use the smoke to
The cover spread solid methane around Azdahaka. Due to the very similar appearance of methane hydrate and dry ice, Azdahaka did not realize the true nature of the trap until the moment it was ignited.
The so-called methane hydrate is a compound of water and methane gas. Under normal circumstances, it will only be stable in a sealed container with high temperature and low pressure. Once exposed to the air at normal temperature and pressure, it will decompose into flammable methane gas. When filled with
If you throw a cigarette butt into a space filled with methane gas, the results are self-evident.
The flower mantis and the beetle quickly rushed up to the roof of the car and put out the fire with the few remaining fire extinguishers. The flames gradually extinguished. Azdahaka, who was slumped on the roof of the car, blinked at Roland with a playful look and an overlooking look.
connected together.
"The farce is over, Azdahaka."
"It seems...that's indeed the case. That's weird, it's still...early..."
Amidst the awe-inspiring laughter, the mixed sounds of Hammer and Azdahaka emerged, and the man in black struggled to get up from the foam. The body that suffered from burns and frostbite made a strange "chicking rattling" noise. The foam covering the left half of the body
Slowly slides down, revealing the scenery below.
"Is this...your true face?"
"Yes, this is me."
Gears, wiring harnesses, pipelines, light-emitting tubes—the parts that should have been the human body and internal organs were replaced by parts that reflected cold light. They made a dying sound while running. The calm and crazy sound made Roland's body and mind shake.
Get stiff.
"mechanical……"
"Don't say it so harshly. Young master, he was affected by the anti-gravity decomposition bomb, and he can still survive in this way. It is a miracle in itself. Well... Although I can't tell whether I am dead or alive, it doesn't feel good. But I have
...A creature of wisdom, reason, and self-will, don't confuse me with...the kind of weak monster that doesn't rely on divine instructions and doesn't even know the meaning of its own existence..."
"...Now you are just a monster, a monster lingering in the farce of revenge."
Faced with the distorted posture and face, for some reason, hesitant feelings emerged in the young man's heart, but his expression remained unwavering.
"No, even if all that's left is the brain soaked in nutrients in a glass jar, even if it becomes a set of data in the circuit. I'm still me - a creature with a will and a soul. And the kind of person who uses the body of a witch
Whether you show off your face and smile, or sigh with a boyish face, you can do it all with the help of a mask. The Hound of God without its own will is different."
As if he was trying to grab something and crush it into pieces, Azdahaka slowly raised his still intact right hand, his smile revealing an abyss of crazy resentment.
"That's why I can't tolerate being deprived of myself by that guy who is nothing but God's thug, and being restricted in thinking and will by that guy. I will never agree with transcending Li Lin!"
"Don't agree? What can you do?"
The cold voice suddenly broke in, and the flow of air suddenly condensed.
"...That's right. He talks about 'self-will' all day long, constantly hypnotizes himself with words like 'I am special', and links art and crime together - he is either a brat with a stunted brain or a kid with a stunted brain.
A lost dog. Both of these things fit you very well, don’t they? Azdahaka.”
The voice was not harsh, it could even be considered leisurely, but the words contained incredible power, cutting open the listener like a sharp knife, making people shudder.
The stiff neck turned to one side, and at some point a four-legged crystal creature climbed onto the roof of the car. Its eight slender rod-like legs were holding a 60-inch square crystal board. A black-haired boy in a burgundy dress played with a wine glass.
The images are lifelike.
"You have made several mistakes. As a former boss, I would like to correct you here: First, you are the only one who has been implanted with the 'Wall of Will' so far. Second, the reason for the implantation is not because of you.
There is no attempt to rebel because 'you are special', I treat everyone equally."
"you……"
"It seems that I already understand what the third position is. Yes, I chose you just because you are very suitable."
The half-finished technique "Wall of Will" has a success rate of less than 5% and a survival rate of 0.3%. On average, only one person in 6,000 people can survive successfully. In terms of human experiments, it is considered an extremely high-risk category. Even if there is no shortage*
* Experimental defense force "epidemic prevention"
In the "Research Institute", this number is really too high. The number of living people needed for various experiments is already tight, and there is no spare capacity to provide thousands of people for experiments. But if the spirit and physical strength of the experimental subjects are higher than those of humans
If so, the chance of being suitable will increase significantly.
For example, like the Dragon Clan or something like that.
"You are really an outstanding experimental subject. You even completed the topic of 'brain-medullary infection between different races' that I had not originally considered. As a thank you, I will ask a question now. As long as you answer it correctly, you will be rewarded for surviving."
The red wine sloshed back and forth in the goblet. He brought the glass to his mouth and slowly inhaled the aroma of the wine into his nose. He opened his squinted eyelids and stared at her with ruby-like red eyes.
"I know everything about you and your surroundings, and even things within thousands of kilometers around you. I can reach you in just ten minutes. So, where am I at this moment?"
"What?"
Favna looked around. Except for Azdahaka and them, there was no existence that could be considered human or intellectual life. There were only the endless black diamond forest and the strange creatures traveling through it.
There is no wine-tasting boy around, and there are no approaching vehicles in the air or on the ground. It is possible to monitor this place through black diamonds, but the expansion speed and surveillance range of black diamonds cannot cover thousands of kilometers.
.Then where exactly was he peeking?
"What a useless question."
Breaking the confusion and silence, Roland spoke slowly, and his eyes focused on him again.
"Can't you just wait a little longer? You're making me really embarrassed."
"The place where you can have an unobstructed view of thousands of kilometers in radius and get here in more than ten minutes - that's it."
The young man looked up at the broad blue sky and slowly said:
"High in the sky."
"Impossible, there are obviously no aircraft around!"
"It's not the height of the aircraft, but the orbit of outer space hundreds of kilometers above the ground. It's beyond the reach of human eyes... the throne of the sky. It's."
"...It seems that you are very angry. Whatever, I will come over right now and deal with everything that needs to be dealt with."
Communication is cut off, and an expressionless face is printed on a black screen.
I finally grew up a little bit.
Words without beginning or end appeared in the thinking circuit that was insulated from emotions, and information linking various systems continued to flow in. The black-haired boy's feet gradually became brighter, and after a second, the appearance of the sea of clouds and the earth emerged.
The world is at your feet.
The sea of white clouds, the green land, the blue sea - the rich colors seen from an altitude of 200 kilometers are enough to make people marvel at the greatness and magic of nature, and at the same time feel the insignificance of oneself, especially when looking around at the endless void, the darkness is not enough to describe it.
After the endless dark space absorbs all light, people's admiration and praise for the miracle of life will become even stronger.
The black-haired boy just stared at his feet coldly, without any emotion in his red eyes.
"Automatic tracking of planetary rotation completed."
"The comparison and prediction of atmospheric flow changes have been completed, and the meteorological data in the landing area is being verified."
"Lowering orbit calculation completed."
"Countdown to 5 seconds for posture adjustment, 4, 3, 2, 1, adjustment begins."
The top and bottom of the 35-meter-long spindle ejected cyan blue flames. The black diamond crystals that shone in the sun slowly turned sideways. Where the sharp bottom pointed, there was a black that was as conspicuous as ink on the emerald green earth.
a little.
"Reactor output 97%"
"Posture adjustment completed."
"Space phase shift defense system, activated."
"Preparations for lowering are complete."
The red wine in the wine glass was drained in one gulp. The crystal wine glass melted like salt in water and fell from the fingers to the ground. It caused a ripple and then disappeared without a trace. The young man grabbed the cane on the side and looked down with a cold expression.
Underfoot.
"The landing module Curudio begins to descend. Target: special train."
The black spindle trembled slightly, and the egg-shaped object embedded in the head - which should be a propeller - ejected a large number of light particles from the inside. The landing module hanging high in the sky began to fall towards the green earth. Its own propulsion force and
The acceleration of gravity adds up, and the falling speed becomes faster and faster. Mach 1, Mach 5, Mach 10... It accelerates until it reaches a terrifying speed of 20 kilometers per second, and the scenery under your feet is covered with red-hot light rubbing against the atmosphere.
It didn't take long. The black diamond, which was 35 meters long and weighed 3,000 tons, tore open the atmosphere and transformed into a burning fireball. It left a white claw mark in the atmosphere and then crashed into the wilderness plain. With a loud bang, a strong flash of light flooded the plain.
