The sound of rain.
Explosion. Screams. roar. The sound of a blunt object hitting a human body. The noise of hot weapons firing. The buildings and the ground shook in the crossfire, and the smoke-filled air contained a faint smell of blood. The sound of rain interspersed with it, non-stop, like slippery slugs falling on the windowsill, like a lingering ghost laughing hoarsely, cold and unpleasant, just like in memory...
"Hey! Wake up, A Ce!"
"--hiss!"
A pair of strong hands shook his shoulders, and Gongsun Ce suddenly turned over and sat up. The dilapidated streets under the pouring rain were engraved in his memory with strife and chaos. Even without relying on his eyesight, he could recognize the street scene of the Sky City. That scene had long been engraved into his memory along with the voice of another person. He turned to meet Mo Yuankai's eyes. The elder brother looked a little surprised.
Gongsun Ce took the lead: "Brother, what's going on?"
"Wow! Did you make a mistake, you ask me?" Mo Yuankai opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner, "Ace, you glanced at King Ping and fell unconscious on the spot. I wanted to ask you what happened."
He was unconscious on the spot... was he killed instantly by the King of Pingren?
It was absolutely impossible. Even if there was a gap in combat power between the two, the battle should not have ended so bizarrely. No matter what, he is now a peerless strongman who has defeated the Silent King. If the dignified Jihui Si can really be so embarrassed, I am afraid that Miss Silent King will be so angry that she will come back from the distant future and draw her sword to kill him. There must be something wrong somewhere, what the hell is the reincarnation of Ara Dou Shen...
Arato is an element inherited from the Arato world...Kami? God and me? It seems wrong. I have the impression that this word can also refer to the "highest spirit"... Could reincarnation be a time cycle...
Gongsun Ce shook his head to temporarily stop his chaotic thoughts. He was lying in the back seat of the Red Meteor. The eldest brother put the car into automatic driving mode and was busy giving him ice. Gongsun Ce took off the ice pack on his head and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder: "How are you everyone? Why are we in the Sky City?"
"What...haven't we all been like this all the time?" Mo Yuankai's eyes were strange, "Ace, are you still awake? Where else could we be if we weren't in the Sky Capital? Looking at beauties on Zero Island?"
"Is it possible to pick up female knights in the kingdom?" Gongsun Ce asked rhetorically.
"Your delusion sounds very tempting. It would be great if a blond female knight could date me~" Mo Yuankai whistled.
"Yeah, I knew it was this way...is it really going back in time..."
"What regression?" Mo Yuankai didn't hear clearly.
"It's okay, brother, you don't understand something." Gongsun Ce waved his hand, "Please give me a pocket watch. I want a silver one."
"OK, come up with a conclusion and tell me."
With a flash of heroism, Mo Yuankai rubbed a pocket watch with air and threw it to him, then got in front and started driving manually. The fighting in this neighborhood seemed to have ended for a while. No one rushed out from the ruins to intercept, and the Red Meteor was traveling unimpeded. Gongsun Ce held his chin and started thinking based on the existing information.
He saw clearly the process of making the pocket watch by his eldest brother, and that was the true heroic stance. This shows that the eldest brother is not an illusion, but the Mo Yuankai he knows. Judging from the situation in Cangdu and the exchange between the two, the "time" in this world should still be before they left for the kingdom. That was the time when the Sky City was at its most chaotic, with various superpower organizations fighting fiercely in the city.
This situation seems to be consistent with the current speculation of "reincarnation", but when the eldest brother woke him up, he said the three words "King of Equality". It was impossible for them to know the existence of the Eternal King back then, and the situation was obviously inconsistent with the past. In other words, this is not a simple time review...
Changes to the world line? Reality replacement? Some kind of new world with a twisted premise?
The information at hand could only be deduced to this point, so Gongsun Ce temporarily suppressed his thoughts. He carefully scanned the surroundings with telekinesis, trying to find newspapers or books recording the time. This time Gongsun Ce raised his eyebrows. Let alone newspapers and magazines, he couldn't even find a convenience store or bookstore. There were only various weapons in the nearby ruins, and only the graffiti scrawled on the wall looked like words.
The sports car sped past the ruins, and that line of graffiti caught his eye:
[1/33 trillion, first year]
Gongsun Ce frowned. The first half of the graffiti was represented by numbers. The denominator of the 14-digit number almost occupied an entire wall, while the numerator only had a pitiful "1". The color of the graffiti is as blue as the sky, like a reminder of someone's malicious intentions.
Graffiti disappeared in the rearview mirror, and Mo Yuankai glanced at it casually: "Oh...it's only the first year, life is not easy."
Gongsun Ce narrowed his eyes: "Brother, what do you have in mind?"
As soon as Mo Yuankai turned the steering wheel, the red sports car slid across the intersection like a fish: "Takami doesn't count, it's an obvious fact. After the news came out, everyone went crazy, and everyone did whatever it took to compete for a spot. Fighting was happening everywhere, I don’t know how long our partnership can last.”
Gongsun Ce grinned: "Brother, how about we not be Riddlers? What quota?"
Mo Yuankai's eyes were shocked: "Wow, Ah Ce, haven't you seen equality with your own eyes——"
The Red Meteor suddenly braked, and the tires that stopped suddenly made an unpleasant noise as they rubbed against the ground. The deafening roar covered up the noise, and a bright crimson light illuminated half of the sky. The buildings on both sides of the street were shattered by the blast, and flames as hot as the sun spewed out from them. The solid concrete building melted like mud without even holding on for a moment, and the fire hit the sports car like a meteor.
Mo Yuankai raised his hand wordlessly, and the hexagonal hero's stance formed a shield to protect the two of them. However, this time his performance was anything but easy. The light of the hero's stance competed fiercely with the flames, and the attacker was on par with him!
Mo Yuankai's forehead was covered with sweat, and Gongsun Ce's eyes widened: "Brother, are you pretending on purpose? Don't tell me that you are struggling, right?"
"I really wish I had the energy to show off, but your eldest brother has never been invincible!" Mo Yuankai said angrily, "You're a street boy who still chooses to 'talk' at this time, think of a way to withdraw." !”
Purple smoke like mist appeared when Gongsun Ce opened his mouth, wisps of it seemed to be penetrating into the seven orifices of the two of them. Gongsun Ce defeated the flaming meteor with one punch, and at the same time activated his telekinesis to drag the sports car backwards. Almost at the same time, a dazzling fire lit up in the purple smoke, and a series of explosions engulfed the street!
"Nice Ace, great response." Mo Yuankai raised his thumb.
"Dodging this kind of move makes Mr. Gongsun and I feel particularly complicated." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses, "Are you done yet? How drunk were you two last night to make this happen?"
The smoke from the explosion gradually dispersed, and two graceful figures emerged on the top of the half-melted building. They are all wearing one-piece battle suits with a full sense of technology, one is dark purple and the other is gold and red. The purple-haired girl with a very plump figure is holding two bubble guns, and the blonde girl with a smaller but good figure is carrying a flaming sledgehammer. The two of them let out creepy screams at the same time, raising their hands to point at the sports car.
"Ah~ha~ha~ha! Can Nian Can Nian, the seniors have been surrounded!" Yun Yinglang laughed sharply.
"You two-year-old boy, you liar, your days of doing whatever you want are over!" Caldesia said with a louder voice, not to be outdone, "From now on, the Dingyi District is the territory of our 'Elemental Power'!"
"..." "..."
Gongsun Ce and Mo Yuankai raised their heads with expressionless faces, like two people watching a nuclear explosion from a distance. Yun Yinglang and Caldesia were still laughing proudly, but unfortunately they were not strong enough to make the last sound as loud as the last one. Finally, the feeble laughter stopped, and the scene was quiet for almost half a second, and the air was as stiff as a ball of frozen tofu.
Caldesia slammed the hammer to her feet: "Why is there no sound? The two of us have joined forces. Say something!"
"No...just...it doesn't seem strange that you two are standing together..." Mo Yuankai said, "Besides, the eyes of a mere passerby don't have any other meaning. The tights are good and the clothes are good."
Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses: "The name of the group Elemental Power sounds so tacky, should you consider changing it to another one?"
Yun Yinglang's face turned red: "What's wrong?! Compared with the incomprehensible word 'power' like wing, core, etc., it is a more concise, lively and trendy choice!"
"Damn it, I wouldn't have let Xiaoyun name him if I had known..." Caldesia raised her hand helplessly, "Xiaoyun, go to hell."
Caldesia breathed out fire in her palm, and a giant fireball exploded instantly, hitting Yun Yinglang's head!
Yun Yinglang was petrified by the sudden change, and her reaction speed was not enough to block this approaching attack. But the fireball hit the invisible wall, and the telekinesis inspired in an instant protected her life. Gongsun Ce pulled Yun Yinglang down and shouted angrily: "Girl in top hat, are you fucking crazy?! What are you doing?!"
This is definitely not a fight between superpowers, this is a real blow with killing intent. However, Caldesia herself didn't react at all. She curled her hair with her fingers, and her attitude was as natural as chatting with everyone in a coffee shop.
"She's killing people," Caldesia said. "She makes me very unhappy."
"Are you kidding, you..."
Have relationships between people been changed? Friendship twisted into hostility? All kinds of bad thoughts flashed through Gongsun Ce's mind, and he immediately asked: "Hey, you and I are friends, right? We are friends, right?"
"Yes." Caldesia nodded, "We have been friends since we came to Cangdu. We have been friends for many lives. But..."
"Being friends or not has nothing to do with whether or not you want to kill someone, right?"
A bit of flame flickered at her fingertips, and the flame turned into a blazing spear and shot out. At the same moment, Yun Yinglang, who had been rescued, started to attack on the side, and the smoke from the purple explosion rose again!
Mo Yuankai reversed the car urgently, and the Red Meteor led the two of them out of the encirclement. Gongsun Ce felt chilled all over. His friend stood among the ruins, his smile no different from before. But something has changed, the concept of being a human being, the common sense of being a human being, the boundary between rationality and madness has become blurred, they look so normal and so crazy.
"Don't run, you!" Caldesia said impatiently, "Come here and fight! I will get your power, or you will rob me of my power. Whether you win or lose, the progress will be advanced, but you must fight. Ah. If we don’t fight, we can’t continue!”
"When I get out, I will play this recording to you in public." Gongsun Ce said expressionlessly. He turned his head and waved his arms to block the colorless sword light, and Chi Zijing rushed out with the Red Emperor's Sword to sneak attack on him.
"President, are you also participating in the war?"
"The world is like this, so we have to fight." Chi Zijing said with a smile.
Gongsun Ce knocked him away with a punch. He saw John leading the Deathwing people to ambush in front. He saw Orus, Guanghe and others in the sky waiting to reap the benefits. He saw many familiar superpowers. The soldiers are hiding everywhere, ready to come out and join the battle at any time. And those groups are not organizations at all, they can only be regarded as people who have reluctantly gathered together. Anyone who is close to them will definitely attack as long as they say no more than three sentences. There are battles that happen suddenly and end suddenly everywhere.
Every battle is a fight to the death, every move is merciless, people seem to have forgotten fear and common sense, and they kill lives as easily as breathing. Unreasonable battles are taking place everywhere in the Sky City, and the blood of superpowers almost dyes the city blood red.
"Look, Ace." Mo Yuankai said, "I just said the situation is really not good."
Gongsun Ce slowly turned around. He was mentally prepared for his elder brother's surprise attack. But Mo Yuankai didn't attack him. He looked at the corpses in the flames of war, just like he looked at the battlefield in the city during heroic activities in the past. He jumped out of the sports car and rushed to the battlefield alone. The glory of his heroic stance shone and reshaped a new set of clothes for him.
He put on a black hat with a large brim and black attire. Two blood-red chains were crossed on his chest, and a red-bottomed and black-faced cloak fluttered behind him. Mo Yuankai lowered the brim of his hat, raised his left hand, and laughed loudly under Gongsun Ce's dull eyes:
"But don't be afraid! I, 'Silent Hui Division' Mo Yuankai, will definitely calm this chaotic world!"
