Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 33 Endgame
"Hey?!"

Alice Adar couldn't help but let out a surprised sigh.

The person with superpowers attacks with abilities, shifts himself into the enemy's shadow and stabs a short arrow, and both sides start a surprise attack at the same time...

The battle should have started like this.However, after the dragon worshiper used his appearance, the situation developed in a direction that no one could have expected.

Her short arrow pierced the void, and the man in the windbreaker and the superhuman disappeared at the same time.

It is the impermanence of the enemy.Alice quickly judged that some kind of mechanism she didn't know caused the two to leave reality. From the name of the appearance, it was roughly speculated that it was most likely the ability to start a forced duel.

"Hey……?"

The blue-haired woman blinked.

In the blink of an eye, the dragon worshiper and the superpower appeared in front of her at the same time. If their positions hadn't changed compared to before, Alice thought she had seen a hallucination.

The man in the windbreaker, who was in perfect condition a moment ago, fell on his back, and the unscathed Gongsun Ce supported his knees with his hands, panting rapidly on the spot.

The duel is over?The superpowers won?Everything that happened in the blink of an eye baffled her.

Alice quickly approached the two of them and asked alertly, "What's going on?"

·
The broken arms, the ruptured internal organs, the pain from the limbs, all of these disappeared.

His glasses were not broken, they were placed right on his face, his field of vision was as clear as usual, and he could see the man's expression.

"what's the situation?"

When the young man heard his companion's question, he didn't care about responding, and said to the dragon worshiper immediately after regaining his language ability: "No action is allowed."

"..."

Xu Junyi lay down on the ground without saying a word, not even blinking.

The superpower user then said: "Only one word is allowed, tell me what item or method you plan to use to summon the dragon."

The middle-aged man replied dryly: "The pupils of the Nether Dragon."

"Is this the only one?"

"Only this one."

"Where."

"In my right hand."

"Open your right hand, and then don't make any more noise."

Xu Junyi slowly opened his right hand.He is absolutely unwilling to obey the enemy's orders, but he is the one who loses in the battle... The power of the Cunyin Fight has firmly bound this man. Today, he will no longer be able to disobey the winner's orders, nor will he... Can no longer cause a little hindrance to the winner.

A glass bead lay in the callused palm of the dragon worshiper.

Glass beads clinging to pieces of wood, like the remains of a smashed handicraft.

"...!"

When seeing that thing, Gongsun Ce forgot to breathe.He will never forget the meaning of this glass bead, and he will never forget the day he saw it.

The nightmare that has never left since the end of the incident three years ago, reminds him of what happened that day every time it appears.The seven clock towers in the gray mist, the wooden bird jumping out of the clock dial, and the ghostly dragon descending from it...

From that moment on, the situation really went to the point of no return.

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo... The cry of the cuckoo reverberated in his mind, and the memories of the past resurfaced in his mind.Without the confirmation of any expert, he can also know the authenticity of the thing in his hand.These are the eyeballs of the wooden bird three years ago.

The eyes of the Nether Dragon.

The young man held the glass bead tightly, and the wooden thorn pierced into his palm, and the tingling sensation woke him up from his thoughts.Gongsun Ce turned around and said to the bewildered hunter, "It's over, Miss Alice. I defeated the dragon worshiper, and I found the most critical catalyst."

Alice looked at the man who fell to the ground, and then at the superhuman, repeating this two or three times.

"——Really or not?! You single-handedly challenged and defeated a Desolate Envoy of Appearance Realm?!"

Then he exclaimed in disbelief.

The person with superpowers pushed down his glasses: "His impermanence method should be quite special. The effect of misfortunes and fortunes is a one-on-one close combat duel forced in the mysterious space, and neither side can use supernormal abilities. It was really an unfavorable matchup, and I managed to win after a hard fight."

"I can't beat you without super powers, you are so useless..."

"Please also praise me for my resourcefulness. The fight just now was really thrilling. If the opponent didn't lose his mind midway, the current scene would be very ugly."

think carefully.

If he fails in the duel just now, the loser who must follow the instructions becomes himself.

In this way, it will become a battle where Gongsun Ce and Xu Junyi join forces to attack Alice.No matter how it looks like it is too bad, luckily he won.

The hunter shook his head, still looking confused by the current situation: "I'll talk about this later, let's get down to business first. The medium you're talking about...?!"

Before he finished speaking, the hunter raised his voice.The power user looked in the direction of her line of sight, and the ball floating in the center of this space was flashing green light at a surprisingly fast frequency.

The phantom of the giant dragon wandering in the air rushed towards the sphere one after another, turning into bright green light spots and blending into the sphere that was suspected to be the heart of the dragon.When all the phantoms disappeared, the pipes around the sphere were separated from the core one after another.The planet-like giant was getting farther and farther away from the two of them. It crashed into the end of the space, was swallowed up by the biological texture wall, and disappeared from the two of them's field of vision.

This spectacular scene lasted less than five seconds before it came to an end. The superhuman and the hunter only had time to take two steps forward before the green star left their eyes.

The two peeped at each other.

Alice tentatively said: "...emergency defense mechanism?"

"It's no wonder that the dignitaries in the firmament can watch leisurely. No matter how you look at it, the ceremony just now needs the heart of the dragon—I guess it's the heart—to be held. As a result, these people have managed to hide this trick until now. Even I have nothing to say."

Gongsun Ce smiled wryly and said: "It seems that an emergency decision was finally made just now, and the dragon's heart was hidden at the cost of some kind of loss... This is really, it's just a free job for the big shots!"

Alice was still looking at the direction where the dragon heart disappeared, and seemed to be deeply shocked by the behavior of the high-level executives of the firmament.

He smiled and shook his head, thinking, this is also very good.

Everything is under the control of the big shots, and his worries are just unnecessary worries.This incident may have benefited someone he didn't know, and it didn't make much sense for him to work hard for a long time, and the insurance he took halfway was useless.

However, the giant dragon will not appear in the capital of the sky, and the fantasies of Xu Junyi and others are just dreams after all.

Residents of the city were able to spend an ordinary night safe and sound.

That's fine.The esper thinks contentedly, this is enough.

The official handling of this city means that the high-level leaders of the three countries have also reached an agreement on this matter.The chances of other experts coming to snatch the glass beads are slim.In this way, the glass beads in his hand will have to be handed over to some disgusting man, and he has to find a way to explain this to Alice... But before that, the two of them who have worked hard all day should also Rest first.

After going out from the underground, find a place to have a supper, and have a good chat before leaving. The lady wearing a mask may come, and I just bought the dessert he owed... I will find a way to talk to Yan tomorrow. Let's solve our own affairs together...

The superhuman breathed a sigh of relief, he was finally able to escape from the tension that lasted for half a day.

Gongsun Ce greeted his companions: "Let's go, Miss Alice!"

Alice sighed helplessly: "What are you doing! The leader of the Dragon Worshipers has this kind of ability, and he just told me that the thing can be quickly transferred, this kind of insignificant big magic that was staged at the last moment I really... don't know what to say..."

Can fully understand each other's thinking.

Prepared for the decisive battle in advance, but the opponent's ability was forced to single out. Before that, he was almost overwhelmed by the sense of crisis that the disaster was approaching, and finally realized that everything was under the control of the high-level.

Although the process is always more important than the result, such a result is really speechless.

Gongsun Ce shrugged his shoulders and said, "You might as well think about the positive side. If the result is good, there will be no problem."

"Well, forget it, as you said, as long as the result is good, it's fine!"

Alice turned around and smiled cheerfully at him, "It's finally over, it's great that you didn't die!"

She held out her hand, as if to give her companion a high-five.

"That's right..."

Gongsun Ce raised his right arm with a smile.

To his surprise, Alice's hand went over his arm.

The fingertips protruding from the mitt touched the young man's chest.

The sharp nails pierced the clothes and the skin, and the palms went deep into the body, pinching the throbbing bright red flesh.

then.

Alice's arm pierced the young man's chest.

"……what."

He stood dazed.

Warm liquid flowed out of the mouth, and the smell of blood filled the nostrils.

The operation of thinking becomes sluggish at this time, is this due to the influence of someone's ability?

The young man couldn't understand for a while what happened.

Alice should have told him something, the young man looked at the woman facing him in a daze.

The smile on her face was the same as usual, not very calm, but friendly and dependable.

"If you can't touch the heart of the dragon of the sky, you can only use yours instead. After all, this is the real reason why you superpowers are called time bombs."

The blue-haired woman withdrew her arm.

It was as if something vital had disappeared from within.

Gongsun Ce stared at her palm. In the center of the blood-stained glove lay a mass of slowly beating flesh and blood.

He reacted.

That is my own heart.

"Without your help, I wouldn't be able to make it this far anyway."

Just like when the two reached an agreement, like when celebrating victory after a battle, the hunter showed him a beautiful smile.

"Really, really, thank you, Gongsun Ce!"

Incomprehensible.

What the hell happened.

Just now I was still thinking about whether to invite her to hold a celebration banquet later.

Being a hunter isn't a good job, and it's not bad to take this opportunity to change careers after getting a large salary.

In this way, she can buy the house she wants to live in and live a better and safe life.The Capital of the Firmament is actually a good place to go. If Miss Alice plans to stay in this city for a long time, she can introduce her to her friends.She is easy to get along with, everyone will be very happy chatting together...

But why.

Why, after everything is over, will it become like this?
"Alice..."

Perplexity and confusion circled around his body for a few times, but he couldn't find any solution, so he turned into anger.

"Alice Adar!!"

The violent psychic power caused a storm in the underground space.

Exhausting his last strength, he shot an invisible spike at his former partner——

"The ability of the inferior can't touch me."

She spoke flatly, as if she was narrating something that should be taken for granted.

Gongsun Ce's final attack disappeared without a sound under this declaration.

Youth no longer has any power.

At the last moment, he thought that the heart is the source of power for superpowers...

It wasn't the outcome of an inch-by-inch battle, but an actual battle in real life. He was truly injured by a one-shot kill.

Before he could say another word, the gray-haired superhuman fell down.

He lay down on the ground, looking up at the hunter who had been his partner with distracted eyes.

"Before you leave, let's talk about something that makes you happy. I made an appointment before, and after everything is over, I will tell you my real name."

He saw the beautiful blue hair fade and become as black as night.

Alice brushed her face with her hand.Her facial features have undergone slight changes, and her pupils have also turned black, looking completely different from before.Now she looked elegant and serene, like a frail woman suitable for a library.

He had seen this face before.

Where, exactly where?The last fragment that emerged before the consciousness was lost was a photo that appeared in a certain news, the huge murder that occurred in the eastern part of Zero Island, the accident that completely wiped out the Shigu Research Institute...

The dark-haired woman bent down and took the glass beads from his hand.

She said softly to Gongsun Ce.

"My real name is Shigure Zero."

She lifted herself up, brushed her long hair, and left with her back to the young man.

Only the last words are left, floating in the lifeless space.

"Farewell, psychic."
