Layers of illusory flames piled up and burned raging on the withered and yellow grass plains. The originally dazzling torrent of light had been eroded into darkness by the pollution of countless twisted and out-of-control desires, but the surging The pollution flame was quickly rejected by an invisible line of defense, and then retreated into this strange space along the passage it came from.
The matrix of disaster quickly discovered the problem through its control of the wishing network.
"It's you again! It's you pioneers who are hindering me again!"
"If it weren't for you, Rosa wouldn't know the truth about me. If it weren't for your repeated assassinations, Rosa wouldn't be living a life of hiding from XZ. Now, you are here to hinder me again. The new world he created!"
"How many times do you have to hinder me before you give up?"
The mother body of disaster screamed angrily, and the alien space produced a large number of translucent cracks under her sharp and harsh screams, as if even the space was shattered by the screams - the twisted wishes in the hearts of humans over the years. Coexisting with desire, the pollution that has been suppressed has already quietly eroded and corrupted her spirit bit by bit. Normally, she can use countless aspects of herself and strong mental power to suppress these effects, but these The pollution chose to reveal its sharp fangs when she was at her weakest, and the influence and distortion on her spirit took this opportunity to be revealed without any scruples.
She has fallen into madness and started to fight like a trapped beast.
Those black flames that had no way to vent turned into illusory monsters. They pounced on Wu Ming with their teeth and claws, and swallowed up his figure in the blink of an eye!
But the next moment, a golden beam of light broke through the boundless darkness. Wu Ming waved the golden sword in the stone. The sword rose up and surged with smoke-like extraordinary energy, tearing apart the phantom monsters that swarmed forward.
A large number of memory fragments filtered by the shield and mental filter flowed into his mind. The phantom monster transformed by the black smoke actually had no combat effectiveness. All the truly harmful parts were eliminated by the flashing shield and mental filter on Wu Ming's body. But there are just too many of them. Even if each swing of the sword can tear apart a large piece of phantom monsters, they can still sprout more companions like leeks to fill the gap.
The phantom monster was rapidly consuming Wu Ming's physical strength and shield. Although the shield and mental filter could protect his mind and body from pollution, they could not protect the weapon in his hand from being corrupted. The blade of the Sword in the Stone has long been covered with cracks due to several bursts of overloaded extraordinary energy. The corruption and erosion caused by pollution have made the sword seem to have been soaked in a highly corrosive liquid such as strong acid. The smooth and gorgeous sword body is covered with pits and traces of rust. With just a swipe of your hand on the sword body, you can rub out a large number of brown fragments similar to rust chips.
The alien world is falling apart as time goes by because the power of the Tree of Life is rapidly stripped away, gradually disappearing into the void and chaos at the boundary of space. And she, a disaster that has been polluted and corrupted by the twisted desires of all mankind, The mother body now urgently needs to devour the life of the divine individual in front of it before its power, life level and everything are deprived of it.
Finally, when the other world collapsed into a space of only dozens of cubic meters, Wu Ming stopped swinging his sword.
The shield value has been exhausted, and the auxiliary device needs to condense enough energy to restart the protective array to restart the shield and mental filter. The Sword in the Stone was even broken into two parts during the high-intensity battle, creating an ominous smoke that symbolized pollution and corruption. Wrapped around the broken sword like a snake, after a fierce battle, although his strengthened physical strength was still a little more than enough, now neither the weapon status nor the shield protection could support him to continue to be unparalleled.
The seemingly endless phantom monsters around him had disappeared at some point, leaving only the scorched earth ravaged by illusory flames, and the chaos and nothingness outside the alien space that was constantly eating away at this space. Perhaps he felt that Wu Ming had reached the end of his strength, and the disaster was coming. The mother body stopped consuming him with cannon fodder, and instead took back the phantom monster and used the pollution accumulated here to condense a body that appeared in front of Wu Ming.
She has completely changed from her previous image of a short-haired girl. Her long golden chestnut hair hangs down like a waterfall. She is more mature and dignified than her previous youthful and energetic temperament. She no longer wears the same clothes as before. She put on a student uniform and then put on a classic long skirt. The complicated and frilly skirt was dragged to the ground. A stream of black, sticky smoke continued to flow out from the gap between her skirt and the ground. Beside her, she stared at Wu Ming opposite her with her golden eyes glowing with a strange light, while she was still mumbling something.
"Not yet, it's not over yet. As long as I devour you, I can make up for the shortcomings and gaps in my life..."
Wu Ming watched the Mother of Disaster rushing toward him quickly. The opponent's rising aura put some pressure on him. He clenched the broken sword in his hand and slightly adjusted his standing posture, ready to meet the approaching attack at any time. The matrix of disaster.
Fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters...
Just when the mother body of disaster was about to rush in front of him, Wu Ming calculated the distance and prepared to swing the broken sword to attack, when the air in front of him suddenly became distorted, and a black shadow sprang out of thin air in front of his eyes, blocking the way between the two of them.
"That's enough, it's time to end this."
Sensing the familiar aura, the mother body of disaster stopped its forward momentum and frowned slightly: "You are..."
The tool man in black robe took off the hood on his head, and the face hidden under the shadow of the hood was a passerby's face with a white face and a soft expression, and the facial features could not be more ordinary, but this man However, his whole body exudes a strange charm that makes people unable to take their eyes away. His golden hair is fluttering in the wind, and he looks at the matrix of disaster with a trace of emotion and regret in his eyes.
Miracle Saint Rosa!
The pupils of the mother body of disaster shrank violently: "When did you sneak in! Impossible!"
"I have long been integrated with the Wishing Network, and have the highest authority to manage the Wishing Network." Rosa opened her mouth and smiled, but the Disaster Matrix keenly noticed that the corruption of chaos and pollution was rolling in his eyes, "Anyone Nodes connected to the wishing network, as long as they do not physically disconnect from the network, can become the carrier of my arrival no matter how many obstacles and obstacles are imposed."
"Rosalia, I have been guilty for many years, and the disaster was caused by my selfish desires and obsessions. Today, I will personally put an end to it all."
A trace of anger flashed across Rosalia's face. The pollution had completely penetrated into her mind and bone marrow, completely controlling her behavior. She waved her alienated hands with sharp blades wildly, and attacks continued like raindrops. Rosa grabbed him: "Don't hinder me! Even if you...even if you want to hinder me, I will send you to hell without mercy to reunite with the person you miss day and night!"
"Well...that's what I planned from the beginning, because this is the ending that suits me best..." Rosa didn't have the slightest intention to dodge, letting the opponent's attack fall on her body, her skin was torn open, and her flesh and blood burst out, but he But beams of light burst out from the bloody wounds, "The Wishing Network, this technology that has brought all mankind into a new era, and also pushed mankind into hell, since it was created by me, then in the end it will be mine. Coming to end it with your own hands can be regarded as a cycle of cause and effect..."
He watched calmly as Rosalia's sharp claws penetrated his chest and crushed his heart. The blood flowed up his throat and coughed out from his mouth. Then he grabbed her arms with both hands with all his strength. .
"Wha—" Rosalia's eyes widened.
"Ahem...Rosa, the power of the Tree of Life has completely disappeared. You alone can no longer maintain the integrity of the wishing network. In this way, all the prerequisites have been met..."
"Don't you want to... No! Don't! You can't do this!" The expression on Rosalia's face finally changed. The surging twisted desire strongly stimulated her emotions as if she felt threatened, and she struggled in horror. She wanted to get rid of Rosa's grasp, but the latter's hands clamped her arm tightly like iron pliers, "Are you going to give up immortality and almighty! Are you going to let mankind fall into the pain of the old era again? ! Are you going to give up everything you have now! Stop! Stop! Stop!!!"
"Almighty and eternal life are still too far away for us now. Maybe one day in the future, people will finally be able to reach the end with their feet on the ground and gain the mentality to control this power, but for now... let's return it to the original owner... …”
Endless light burst out, drowning the body of Miraculous Saint Rosa, devouring Rosalia's body, and quietly containing Wu Ming's body in the light.
At this moment, the wishing network collapsed silently.
In a field of vision beyond human observation, Rosa's announcement seemed to cause a concept that should not exist in this world to shatter, and then the 'bridges' that crossed the limits of time and space were silently shattered, and the earth was shattered. A clear and sweet cracking sound sounded in everyone's ears at the same time, and a sense of weakness and powerlessness filled their hearts. They suddenly could no longer sense the existence of the wishing network, and could no longer use the power of the wishing network. Some smart people thought Before the Blazers issued a broadcast asking them to remove the nerve cord and physically disconnect the wishing network, an uneasy speculation began to brew and ferment.
The once nearly omnipotent wish-making network collapsed.
…………
After the boundless light dissipated, Wu Ming found himself back on the dome platform covered with a sea of flowers of light.
Elizabeth and the others did not return here. Obviously, the area corresponding to the alien cavity they were in was not here.
Rosalia and Rosa both lay down in this sea of flowers of light. Rosalia closed her eyes tightly, and her body continued to dissolve like snowflakes. When the entire wishing network collapsed, the laws covering the ground were also destroyed. Correction, as a creature resurrected from the fantasy, her current existence is like a rootless duck, and she cannot survive for a long time in the real world.
And the condition of Miracle Saint Rosa is not very good. His current appearance looks unreal, with countless interference lines and blurry color blocks covering his borrowed body. As a ghost who relies on the wishing network to survive, he should rely on it to survive. After the network collapsed and dissipated, he also had no ability to survive alone - even as a remnant soul parasitic on others, it was impossible to do so.
Wu Ming could tell at a glance that the two of them had...
"Ah... you're still here..." Rosa was still conscious. He saw Wu Ming slowly approaching, "Stranger, I think you have a lot of questions to ask me..."
"Well, I do have something to ask you." Wu Ming looked at him and nodded, then said slowly: "In exchange, I can help you do something..."
But before he finished speaking, the Miracle Saint interrupted him: "I don't have much time, you'd better hurry up..."
Wu Ming took a deep look at the dying man and knew that his vitality was passing away bit by bit. He started to ask without any more nonsense: "So... what is the voice of the apocalypse..."
…………
"Rosa..." Rosalia woke up from a brief coma. The madness in her eyes slowly faded away, and her clarity gradually returned. The collapse and disappearance of the entire wishing network also meant that the twisted desires and wishes in people's hearts could no longer exist. She couldn't put it together, but the memory of when she was controlled by pollution was still engraved in her mind. With tears in her eyes, she was at a loss like a child who had done something wrong. She turned her head with difficulty to search for Rosa, "I'm sorry... I...I screwed up in the end..."
"It's me who should apologize...I'm sorry..."
Rosalia turned her head with difficulty and looked around, but what she saw was a humanoid outline covered with interference lines and chaotic color blocks. The humanoid outline had become very faint, and the sound it made seemed so dull. Ethereal and ethereal, "I created you without authorization, and imposed my own expectations on you without authorization, which restricted your free will, and ultimately led to this disaster..."
"I gave you a false self-awareness, a false identity, and a false character. Every move you make is based on my preferences and the person in my memory. Even the feelings you have for me are creating you. At that time, due to the knowledge given by selfishness, you have been living in a cage from the beginning..."
"As long as it is a creature living in this world, whether it is you or me, it will be more or less bound by external objects." Rosalia smiled, showing the most familiar and missed smile of the Miracle Saint, "Rosario, no one realizes that he is a prisoner until he touches the border..."
Rosa raised his head and looked at Rosalia in astonishment. For the first time, the face of Rosalia and the elder sister in his memory overlapped.
"Of course, you use this cheating method to make others fall in love with you. You are indeed an undeniable scumbag. Some people may find this development very romantic... but I want to tell you that this kind of behavior is extremely scumbag. If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be furious and would fight you to the death..."
"Well... I'm sorry... I have another way... If you are willing, you can actually get rid of everything in the past and start over..."
Rosalia interrupted Rosa carelessly: "Why are you worrying so much? That's it."
"Eh?"
"What? I'm afraid that you'll wet your pants in the dark alone on Huangquan Road, so why don't you come over and take care of me?"
Even though she knew that this was a simulation of the words and deeds of the person in her memory, Rosa still felt that her vision became blurry.
Collapsed rocks and branches fell one after another. In this sea of flowers of light, the two quietly turned into light particles and dispersed in the wind.
…………
A fantasy city, a street somewhere.
Wu Ming, who witnessed the end of the two men, silently turned off the images returned by the stealth spy plane, placed the recovered black-robed tool man, and turned to look at Elizabeth and Siegfried who were waiting aside.
"It's over, we should go back..."
