Flames, crackling.
The battlefield was filled with scalding black smoke, residual fire, and upturned ruins. The soldiers among them were thrown into the mud in embarrassment, and the sky was dark.
Only one part of the scenery here is pure white.
That is the goddess of mechanics who has never left there from the beginning to the end. Her silver hair is not stained by the smoke, and she only retains the holiness and aloofness that only gods can have. She is neither happy nor sad.
Looking at this scene from a distance, it seems that I can understand why a god is a god. The nature of her existence here is completely different from that of everyone else.
Jas pulled Sherrond out of the rubble and patted him on the shoulder.
"How about it?"
"It's much better than when the Hooffire Empire invaded."
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, leaning on their backs and looking up at the top of the battle platform that was forged into a pedestal. The only one who could challenge the gods until now was the gods. Marcus and the goddess of mechanics were fighting in close quarters, but the situation was not optimistic.
Even though he was the pinnacle of a third-level god, Marshal Qiandong of the Empire, who was feared in Wuguan City, had multiple wounds on his body at this moment, and the Goddess of Mechanics, who looked so slender in appearance, was struck by one blow. The weight was overwhelming for Marcus.
At this moment, Marcus was kicked off the pedestal, and Elfa, who had just stood up, quickly caught him with a spell.
"Don't challenge it alone!"
Even the Elf Queen had a black stain on her face at the moment, but Marcus didn't accept her favor. He stood up without even paying attention to the wound, and looked up at the goddess who was alone at the top.
"Heh... I'm just testing her strength. Who keeps you in the way?"
"Then, I think you should come to the same conclusion as me."
Ryan's voice came from the side. He stumbled while walking, with a bandage on his chest. Kamesh, with a knotted beard, was supporting him.
Marcus laughed softly, not surprisingly.
"You are indeed lucky."
When the holy seal fell just now, Ryan was at the center of the hit and almost took the hit.
It wouldn't matter if it was someone else, but since it was this guy, Marcus would not be surprised at all if he could survive his "that state" and help him out.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Ryan waved his hand, "I think you should have noticed the state of the goddess."
Elufa looked at him in astonishment. Although this was not the first time he had seen this, not only could he stand up in this situation, but he even seemed to be able to continue fighting. His tenacity was beyond common sense, and he didn’t know whether his body could withstand the beating. Still an amazing will.
However, she quickly retracted her thoughts and listened to something she could understand first: "What did you find?"
Ryan and Marcus looked at the towering goddess at the same time.
From the time of the battle until now, she had not set her sights on anyone, nor had she said a word. It was as if she was just there, killing all the rude people who dared to offend her.
That's the problem.
She is indeed very strong, or it can be said that she is too strong. Several interlocking attacks by the legion have not achieved any results, and she seems to be able to face the siege of the godhead with ease.
But there was no need for her to hold back.
Whether it was to disrupt their offensive or summon various powerful divine spells, although they were beaten to the point of losing their armor and bleeding, it was still far from being able to kill a group of bugs easily.
In other words, the current goddess of mechanics has probably done most of her work.
After hearing the two people's almost unanimous opinions, Elfa was stunned.
"Are you saying that although she can defeat us, it's not as easy as it looks?"
Ryan glanced at Marcus first, then nodded: "She should be very good at dealing with multiple enemies, and will not be hindered by restricted spells, but there is a limit to the extent of her power, even if she wants to turn us into ashes. Can't do it."
After hearing this, Elufa wiped her face and her expression became a little complicated.
She frowned and looked at the two of them:
"Is it possible... that your physique is different from ordinary people?"
"?"
Ryan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Kamesh, who hesitated to speak.
How can I, a majestic dwarf king, say that I almost went to see my ancestors just now...
"But I don't think she kept the Holy Seal just now. This is even more illogical," Ryan explained. "There is no reason for her to deliberately control the power to give us a chance."
Marcus also crossed his arms and smiled coldly.
"If she was sure of killing me, do you think she would kick me off that easily?"
There is only one third-level god in the legion.
If the Goddess of Mechanics is sure to kill Marcus, the scale of victory will undoubtedly tilt heavily in her direction, and since there is no interference from others at that time, it can be said to be the best time.
So, it’s not that I don’t want to kill.
But it can't be killed.
"I understand what you mean," Elufan nodded sharply, "Speaking of which, the air cannon was activated when we were not paying attention. The legion was not used again after it was on guard."
After she said this, she looked at the two people again.
"So, what do you want to do?"
…
after a while.
The godheads of the legion formed a circle, and Dundry blocked the retreat behind the goddess with a large shield.
Marcus and Ryan on the front.
In the area outside this area, dense bows and spells streaked across the broken sky, striking the goddess's location continuously. Coupled with the various projectile weapons that the craftsmen were proud of, the sound on the barrier around the goddess of mechanics could not be heard at any moment. Never stopped.
At first, she was worried that the other party would retaliate, but after seeming to understand their intentions, she just stood there with her hands flat, and even closed her eyes again.
Ryan: "..."
Ryan also closed his eyes. It was still unclear whether the real god could recover in such an environment, but as long as his and Marcus's inferences were correct, the other party's current strength limit would definitely not be able to sustain it like this.
The long-range attack was not as threatening as their coordinated attack, but it was more efficient, and there were divine magicians at the rear preparing powerful spells. This situation was enough to be called a desperate situation.
but……
For some reason, Ryan always felt a little uneasy when he saw such a calm reaction from the Goddess of Mechanics.
The idea of testing the gods is a bit presumptuous after all. If there is anyone at this time...
"Remember that you have a divine power resistor on your body. No matter what happens, don't do anything stupid."
"I know, I know! You've been talking about it all the time!"
Following the sound, Ryan's eyes lit up and he immediately stepped forward to meet him.
Arriving in front of him, Ryan couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He stumbled and almost bumped into the opponent.
"Rovie!"
"What are you..." Luo Wei immediately supported him and saw that his chest was still wrapped with a bandage.
"It's okay, just a minor injury."
Several women followed Luo Wei and watched, and Wei Mier blinked in confusion.
Well……
His friend looked at him with a light in his eyes...
But the reaction of the rest of the legion was not so enthusiastic. Almost all of them looked at them with frowns. Rather than being unwelcome, they seemed more suspicious and disbelieving of their appearance.
"What is she...?"
Luo Wei ignored the surrounding sights and looked up to see the surrounded Mechanic Goddess not too far away. He didn't expect to see it at first, because there was too much firepower covering it, and it was as bright as an incandescent lamp that generates electricity.
What, are you celebrating her birthday?
Wasn't it a brutal fight? I came early?
Luo Wei frowned and scratched his head. Ryan looked over there, his expression darkened and he was about to take him to a distance to speak, when a voice came from behind:
"Lovie Brook. 』
Everyone immediately raised their ears and looked at the source of the sound in shock.
The speaker.
There is no doubt that she is the machinist goddess there.
I have never said a word until now, but now I call out Luo Wei's name?
Luo Wei looked at the reactions on the faces of the people around him and guessed some clues. He stopped and stood there and replied without any thought -
"What's up?"
"Zolman warned me to pay attention to you. 』
"Why does he miss me so much?" Luo Wei laughed at himself, "Then don't I have to visit his grave?"
"..."
The Goddess of Mechanics no longer responded, and Luo Wei didn't intend to say anything more, so he was pulled away by Ryan.
…
After listening to the whole narrative, he roughly understood why Ryan was so looking forward to meeting him.
"You want to ask me, is Icarus holding on?"
"right!"
Ryan didn't know why, but he felt that Rowe might be able to give him the answer at this time.
Luo Wei shook his head at him.
"I won't judge for you," he said, "but I would like to ask you, why does she insist on holding on?"
"...!"
Ryan opened his eyes wide and walked out without saying anything, but after taking five or six steps, he stopped abruptly and looked back at Rowe in disbelief.
It seemed that he was aware of it.
The Goddess of Mechanics has been fighting against the Legion here. If she can't survive, why should she let herself be in such a passive situation?
But on the other hand, there is another most fundamental problem, which seems to have nothing to do with the imminent crusade, but the legion has also been fully prepared.
That's "why" the Machina is here.
Ryan looked towards the south of Tietong Ridge, and then he didn't even bother to say goodbye to Luo Wei, and hurried towards the military formation.
But at this moment, a flash of light appeared in the darkness ahead, temporarily connecting the earth to the dim sky. The tornado thundered and moved, as if the end was coming.
It seems Icarus made the decision for them.
"You are the commander of the legion," Luo Wei said coldly from behind, "Go ahead."
"this time--"
Ryan clenched his fists behind his back.
"Please look at me carefully this time, dear friend."
Without waiting for Rowe's answer, Ryan stepped forward resolutely and rushed to his battlefield again on the road to the doomsday scene.
But Luo Wei just stared at the figure gradually disappearing into the darkness and said nothing.
"..."
Soon after, Wei Mier and others came to join him and told him what had just happened.
Icarus suddenly became angry.
This time it is no longer a passive response. Even though there seems to be a certain limit to the power as described by Ryan, God seems to have finally put down the unnecessary airs and regards the Legion as an opponent.
And old acquaintances who passed by them from time to time often had to say a few words.
"Don't take action, leave this place to us." Vanessa glared at him coldly with her dragon eyes, then quickly moved forward and disappeared.
"Stay here, I don't want you to underestimate me again." Elfa held the gem staff and did not look back.
"Get out of the way." Jiti Qiu bumped past them arrogantly.
The entire battlefield immediately became busy, with wave after wave of challengers cooperating on the high altar, besieging and trying to pull down the god within reach.
The sky was filled with oppressive black clouds.
The battle was intense to an outrageous level.
Shaye and Ayi Ning watched this scene with heartache, their hands holding the weapons were sweating unconsciously, but they knew the conditions for their agreement to Luo Wei, and the prerequisite for staying here was not to take action.
Vermeer also had worried eyes, her toes couldn't help but tighten in her boots, her face was worried and pitiful, she wanted to see Rowe but didn't dare.
"..."
Luo Wei patted her head. The stupid look in his eyes made him unable to watch the battle. He knew what she wanted to do. He sighed, lowered his voice and said, "Treat her secretly."
"…Okay, okay!"
Vermeer lowered her voice and nodded like a thief, which gave Luo Wei a headache.
If he were a goddess, he would kill this sneaky guy first.
Fortunately, it can be said that there is no time to worry about anything else, and there are no church priests on the battlefield, as long as they don't go too far.
Uh-huh...
Vermeer first thought about hiding behind him, but then she thought, wouldn't it be a bigger problem if the goddess mistakenly thought it was Luo Wei who was treating her?
So she had an idea and suddenly hugged Luo Wei from the front, so that his hands were empty on both sides. The goddess knew that he was not causing trouble~
And her hand was blocking Luo Wei's back. At this moment, she unknowingly cast a healing spell far away on the battlefield. The person lying there was shouting "My legs!" one second, and the next second. After a second, he stood up and scratched the back of his head with a confused look on his face and walked away.
There seemed to be nothing unusual about this, and Vermeer couldn't help but sigh that she was really a genius~
hey-hey!
She turned her neck cleverly like a little squirrel and happily looked for the next target——
Then he met two lines of sight without any bias.
Shaye and Ayi Ning were standing there, frowning deeply.
"..."
"..."
Vermeer's face suddenly turned pale.
Hey...hey! No, that's not the case!
Before she could tell the truth clearly with her facial expressions, Luo Wei pushed her back with his hand and gently kissed her on the side of her face.
"You chose the path yourself, saving people is the most important thing."
Vermeer: ()
Shaye looked away with disdain. She was too lazy to pay attention to the two of them at first, but when she thought about the fool who kept winking at her just now, she became more and more irritated for some reason.
Shaye: (▼ヘ▼#)
Is she provoking me? ?
