The blond man exhaled a puff of black smoke, his whole body was numb, and he looked at the ground with a dull expression. After a few seconds, his expression became extremely exciting.
"You...your strength has not fully recovered?"
If it was true as the rumors said, the first person who came across him should be killed, but after walking for a few rounds now, it didn't seem that powerful.
The blond man had some vague guesses in his mind. This man might not really be dead, but he had to hide because he was too seriously injured. He has not fully recovered yet.
He thought about it again and thought it was impossible. After all, there was a very scary Zhang Taiyue at that time...
"Is this your choice?"
Zhou Jinru clenched his fists, quickened his pace, and even used subjective timing.
He has no good impressions of the Balance of Destiny. These people are in league with foreign gods, and all they think about is how to seek greater benefits, and even...
"Stuart, you look very embarrassed. Has the Bishop's mission been completed?"
Suddenly a gust of wind and rain hit, and the blond man who was unable to dodge was swept away and flew to the side.
The water splash condensed into the appearance of a woman, with a brown ponytail, fair complexion, and a pair of big watery eyes blinking, looking at her companions, and then at Zhou Jinru.
"What's going on? Who is this person?"
The man named Stewart shouted at the top of his lungs: "He is the defender No. 004! I was almost killed. He is very weak now. This is our opportunity! Athena, let's join forces."
Athena looked like she was looking at a fool: "What stupid words are you talking about? How can I beat the rumored defender No. 004!"
"Then let's run away!"
"Of course... no."
There was a faint mist floating in the air, and another person slowly appeared.
The navy blue skin was exposed from the cuffs, covered with creepy bruises, and covered with moisture. He looked three parts like a human and seven parts like a ghost. He was wearing a priest's uniform and holding a scepter in his hand.
The voice of the visitor was very unpleasant. He said: "It's really strange to see the rumored defender No. 004 here. Hello, my name is Kunze. I have forgotten my last name. They all call me Bishop Kunze." .”
"Bishop Kunze!"
Stewart said in surprise.
Athena's strength is mid-to-upper-class in the balance of destiny, while Bishop Kunze is stronger. With these two people around, there will definitely be a chance to kill the still weak Defender No. 004.
Zhou Jinru looked at Bishop Kunze and asked doubtfully: "Are you from the Deep Sea Council?"
"The Parliament and the Church belong to the same deep sea, and there are still some differences between us."
He turned to the girl who rescued the blond man and asked:
"how about you?"
"Are you asking me? As you can see," Athena pointed to her nose, and then she kicked Stewart who was still lying on the ground. "This fool and I are in the same group, and we both belong to the balance of fate. I also have a question to ask you."
"Please say."
"You are the famous Defender No. 004, and you have walked on this land much longer than us. Do you think there is still hope for this land?"
"We are not judges. Who can define whether there is hope for this land, you? The balance of fate or the deep sea?
You feel there is no hope, so you turn to those external gods. This is your choice, and I respect your choice. But if you think you are superior to others, treat yourself as a higher-level species, and act arbitrarily, you are my enemy. "
Athena said with difficulty: "You are more stubborn than I thought."
"He doesn't want to ascend to the throne of God, and refuses to let you kneel down. He wants you to stand still, but you kowtow to a group of foreign gods and keep claiming to be defenders. What are we defending?!"
Zhou Jinru took a step forward and said in a serious tone: "Either you kill me today, or I will kill everyone present!"
He moved, raised his hand and waved his fist, and struck in the air, picking up the masonry and soil around him and hitting Athena.
The girl first threw Stewart aside and broke into water, avoiding Zhou Jinru's attack.
Bishop Kunze next to him raised his scepter, and an invisible wave rushed towards Zhou Jinru, but he was not affected in any way. He turned around and rushed over. He kicked the ground with his legs and a dark red ball of light appeared in his palm, heading towards him. Bishop threw it over.
Sakaz’s Origin Stone Skill! !
Bishop Kunze was shocked and quickly dodged. The soil under his feet held up his body. Just after moving more than ten meters, the dark red ball of light exploded and instantly flattened the ground.
The battle between them scared off the twisted monsters that besieged the fortress one after another, and countless more were affected.
"Mr. Fourth, a new generation like me has never seen your face, let alone whether those rumors are true or false. Since we are already opposites, please let me see your true power!"
Athena waved her hands, the sky became gloomy, and it began to rain. Bishop Kunze's body swelled when it touched the water. His legs seemed to have taken root. The priest's uniform was torn, and vine branches grew out, short. In just a few seconds, a sky-blocking plant covered the outer wall of the fortress and continued to expand inwards.
"Is it more cost-effective to be a plant than a human being?"
Crazy squirming vines hug the core, and at the top of the dark green rhizomes, dark purple flowers are budding.
Bishop Kunze's emotionless voice echoed over the Eternal City.
"Mr. Fourth, there have been countless extinction events, and many species failed to survive. When this land fell into doom, people would not be able to survive in the harsh environment, but there is one exception, and that is plants.
We just want to live. "
The flower bones slowly unfolded, revealing the stamens inside, and you could barely make out a human face.
For a moment, Zhou Jinru felt particularly disgusted. He admired Bishop Kunze's will to survive, but that was all.
He took refuge in the external gods and changed his life form to become a plant in order to survive.
All this is understandable, after all, survival is a biological instinct.
But why can you shout to live, and at the same time kill your former compatriots, and still talk about survival of the fittest with a human face?
Zhou Jinru raised his head to look for the sun, but it was raining and he couldn't find it.
He suddenly understood why No. 014 asked the question in the first place.
Why are there such a bunch of lunatics?
…
On the other side, Stewart, who had regained his breath, stood up unsteadily and gasped: "Can Bishop Kunze return to his original appearance?"
"cannot."
Athena looked serious: "Once you break through the shackles of the human body, you can never change back. However, the Deep Sea Church is a group of lunatics and they don't care at all."
"We actually have to cooperate with these guys!"
This was the first time Stewart saw such a scene, and he couldn't help shouting.
