Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 201 Returning to Madness
……

"Is this... the end?"

In the ruins of the fortress, Yan Yu looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and murmured to himself.

"Maybe."

Chi Jia looked at the members around him and spoke calmly. At the same time, he quietly put the two injections in his hand back into the storage space, looked at the blue water curtain in the sky, and murmured.

Not far away, Lana and several members of the Heavy Machinery Order around her had the same reaction. Facing the suddenly quiet battlefield, everyone just stared blankly at their cannons that had melted due to overheating. Guan, it seems that he has not recovered from the crazy battlefield.

……

tear it up!

There was a sound of flesh and blood penetrating, and a bloody figure rushed out of Kuadoliga's body, falling towards the ground as if he had lost all strength.

"Fenghuo!"

The figure of Liu Bing rushed over from the side and caught the sharp fire in time.

"Ahem...why are you here? Where are the gunballs and the others?"

Feng Huo, whose left leg disappeared, stood up weakly and propped himself up with the long sword in his hand.

"They're all still alive, look around!"

around?

When Feng Huo heard this, he was slightly startled, looked around with his eyes blurred by blood, and froze on the spot.

……

There was no attack.

A wisp of breeze slapped Xin Lailai's face, and something called silence suddenly appeared on the battlefield that was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and burnt flesh.

The expected overwhelming missiles, thunder and needles did not arrive, and even the roar of the Aragami could only be heard in fragments.

After a few seconds, Xin Lailai gradually came back to her senses, and her dark eyes, which showed no trace of any emotion under the blood stains, gradually regained their vitality.

Xin Lailai slowly put down Yuan Mo and looked around the battlefield in front of him, only to realize that the rain of blood in the sky had stopped falling at some point.

On the battlefield as far as the eye could see, almost no living Aragami could be seen, only burning wreckage was left everywhere.

"Roar--!!"

Suddenly, a roar like a dragon's roar came from the distance. Xin Lailai turned his head sharply and saw a scene in the sky:
The pitch-black Hannibal clung to the limbs of the blue Dragon Emperor, flying across the battlefield with a harsh sound. A figure was on his shoulder, waving a sword burning with golden flames, heading towards Caligula's head was chopped off.

boom!
Like meteors falling to the ground, three figures dragged through the air a splendid tail of gold and blue flames, and landed heavily on the ground not far from Xin Lailai.

Upon seeing this, Xin Lailai immediately opened his psychic field, instantly pierced through the haze in the sky, and saw the scene in the huge pit behind it. His pupils shrank slightly, and he quickly accelerated his pace and rushed over.

boom!
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard. Xin Lailai waved Yuan Mo forcefully and used the sword wind to blow away all the surrounding smoke, allowing the scene in the giant pit to sink clearly before his eyes.

In the huge pit, a blue wreckage was burning quietly, with no trace of life on it.

Not far from the wreckage, the dark Hannibal was half-kneeling on the ground, with the wings hanging down from his back and his body bent like a protective umbrella, covering the figure below him.

Xin Lailai fell silent as his eyes fell on the figure...or the figure that could barely be identified as humanoid.

In front of him, Renhua Kongmu was kneeling on the ground with a sword in hand, like a knight entering his twilight years.

Dark crystals rushed out from everywhere on his body like scales, extending and intertwining like a dark raincoat, spreading all the way to the ground.

The same thing happened on his face. Small black crystal clusters rushed out from under his skin, covering almost his entire face like a mask. Only a small area of ​​his left eye remained as it was.

Behind him, several things like bone wings broke out of the body and fell quietly to the ground, with weak golden flames burning on them, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

"Black Sword...you are here."

A weak voice as thin as a mosquito's moan sounded. Kongmu Lianhua opened her eyes and looked at Xin Lailai in front of her. A faint light rose in her dim golden vertical pupils.

"Ah."

Without any unnecessary words, Xin Lailai just responded softly and looked quietly at the empty wood lotus flower in front of her.

"Arakami...are there any more?"

"Almost all were wiped out."

"Really? That's fine..."

Hearing this, Kongmu Lianhua showed a weak smile on her face covered by black crystal clusters.

The breeze blew by, and the golden flame swayed gently, and it dimmed a bit unconsciously.

"How long...how long is left?"

"There are still 10 minutes left."

This time, after a long time, Kongmu Renhua nodded slightly, and the faint light in the golden vertical pupils seemed to be extinguished in the next second.

"So, we...won?"

Finally, a weak question sounded, and for a moment, the air seemed to suddenly become quiet.

Xin Lailai looked at the other party, was silent for a while, then slowly bent down, imitating the other party's appearance, half-kneeling on one knee like a knight, looking straight into the other party's dim eyes, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Well, we..."

"Chosen Ones, you win."

Without any warning, an indifferent voice suddenly came from behind. Xin Lailai's pupils shrank suddenly, he turned around in an instant, and struck at the source of the voice with a sword.

boom!
The sound of crushing earth and rocks was heard, and the scene behind him came into Xin Lailai's eyes.

Behind him, a white shadow stood there at some point.

The specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, it is just a blurry shadow. The only thing that can be distinguished is the golden eyes under the white body.

"It's useless, Chosen One, it's just a shadow. No matter how powerful you are, you can't destroy it."

An indifferent voice came from Xuying's mouth. It looked at Xin Lailai in front of it and the Kongmu Lotus behind it, and said.

"It seems that you are the leader of the Aragami camp."

Xin Lailai looked at the shadow in front of him, with a strong look of solemnity in his eyes.

The sword strike just now confirmed to Xin Lailai that the white shadow in front of him was indeed something similar to a three-dimensional projection, but because of this, Xin Lailai was even more afraid.

Black Sword: "@All members, everyone pay attention! The leader of the Aragami camp suddenly appears!!"

Without any hesitation, Xin Lailai immediately sent a message on the war channel, then opened the psychic field and stared at the shadow in front of him.

The leader of the Aragami camp suddenly appeared in the last 10 minutes. No matter from any angle, it could not be normal.

"The leader? From a human definition, it can indeed be considered so."

An indifferent voice came from in front of it. It quietly stared at Xin Lailai in front of it and said:

"For our clan, there is only a distinction between the eldest and the young. I am just the eldest among those born, that's all."

"Uranos, you are used to referring to us as the gods in your mouth, so for you, this should be the most suitable title for me."

"Uranos..." Xin Lailai repeated this title, looking at the white figure in front of him, thinking crazily about the other party's purpose.

procrastinating?

In 10 minutes, the world coordinates will be completely generated. There are no living desolate gods in the desert island, and there is a soft sky outside the desert island to protect them. If they really want to delay, it will only be more beneficial to them.

Sound east and west?

There are still 23 contractors left, and the three Chi Jia are still alive. Even if the Dragon Emperor is suddenly reborn, relying on the defense of the underground fortress and the strength of the contractors, they can still delay the 10 minutes.

not to mention……

Xin Lailai glanced behind him with his peripheral vision and saw that from just now, the dark Hannibal transformed by Amamiya Ritsou had been staring at the remains of the Dragon Emperor beside him.

With this kind of powerful combat power, even if the Dragon Emperor is resurrected, it is impossible to break through the defense line.

Is it possible that the other party has a way to control the Dark Dragon Emperor transformed by Amamiya Ritsou?

Xin Lailai held Yuan Mo's hand and tightened it unconsciously, and the mana in his body began to quietly transform into demonic power.

If that were the case, with the current distance, even if Amamiya Ritsou lost control, he would be sure to instantly crush the opponent's core and buy a certain amount of time.

but……

'Something feels wrong. '

After all, if they really intend to do something, it is incomprehensible for the other party to deliberately show up when they are most relaxed to arouse their vigilance.

"Chosen One, you seem to be wary of my sneak attack."

Ouranos glanced at Yuan Mo in Xin Lailai's hand, and a smile suddenly appeared in his indifferent tone.

"In your words, should this be called...an honor? I didn't expect that beings like us could actually make a being like you, chosen by the gods, so vigilant."

pleasure?

Hearing Ouranos's words, Xin Lailai was slightly startled. Only then did he realize that from the very beginning, Ouranos's words had always been in the tone of a weak man facing a strong man.

"If I really had a way to do this, these children wouldn't be buried on this battlefield."

Ouranos said, looking at the burning wreckage aside, with a hint of sadness in his tone.

"I am here just because you won this war game."

Ouranos' tone returned to calmness, and he stood there quietly, with his back to the devastated battlefield, like a lonely king.

"We have staked millions of lives and exhausted the wisdom of the entire race, but we still cannot win this war game."

"Chosen Ones, I must admit that the power you hold has really made me understand the meaning of the word despair."

Ouranos's indifferent voice echoed in the giant pit. Listening to what the other party said, Xin Lailai felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity in his heart.

The Aragami camp that almost drove them into despair, and the Aragami camp that made him struggle back from the edge of life and death several times, forced the God Eaters to the point where they were almost completely wiped out, and forced them to the point where only 24 people were left alive. The leader of the Aragami camp, At the last moment, they suddenly came over and said that their power made the other party feel desperate?
"It's really a joke that makes people completely unhappy..."

Xin Lailai murmured in a low voice, stared at Ouranos in front of him, and said calmly:

"So, what exactly are you going to do?"

"I just want to use this last moment to ask a question."

Uranus said, looking at the Kong Mu Lotus behind Xin Lailai, and said:

"The Chosen One, and the leader of the human camp behind you, I want to know, what is the meaning of this war game... to you and all of you?"

"Even if you obey the will of that existence and help mankind win this war game, you will only drag the world into the cage of an endless cycle."

"Even the humans you know now will cease to exist completely in just one cycle, and they will be played by outsiders endlessly in subsequent cycles."

"What is the significance of such a victory?"

The indifferent voice of questioning fell, and the air fell into dead silence.

Xin Lailai looked at the shadow of Ouranos in front of him. His lips felt a little dry, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to speak.

So, Xin Lailai fell silent.

He couldn't answer this question.

In other words, as a contractor, he is not qualified to answer this question on behalf of Renka Soragi and others who are derivative characters of this world.

At the edge of his sight, the countdown symbolizing the end of everything unknowingly advanced by another number.

"It seems that I am expecting unnecessary things, but maybe this is not bad."

"As He said, you, the chosen ones, cannot answer this question."

Ouranos' indifferent voice sounded, and there seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his tone, but also seemed to be mixed with a hint of relief.

"This way, there is nothing to hesitate about."

Ouranos said calmly and looked up at the sky. When Xin Lailai heard the words, his pupils shrank slightly and he realized the key to the other party's words.

Nothing to hesitate about?What does it mean?
Sure enough, this guy is planning to...

"The Chosen One, He told me that in your language, this war game is called the Battle of Ascension."

Ouranos's voice sounded, and his indifferent words suddenly contained an indescribable sense of emptiness and holiness.

"I browsed through the memories of human civilization obtained from Him and learned the meaning of the word 'ascension'."

"The 'pawn' who reaches the end of the chessboard will have the opportunity to be promoted to the 'queen'."

"This is a very beautiful word, but unfortunately, on the chessboard, the so-called improvement is never about letting the 'pawn' become the 'queen', but rather removing the 'pawn' from the chessboard and replacing it with the 'queen' '."

"In other words, no matter what the outcome is, in this rules game, the original 'pawns' will be kicked off the board."

"In this case, instead of letting that existence slaughter us, it is better for us to take the initiative to replace this 'pawn'!"

Ouranos's voice became more and more ethereal and insubstantial. Finally, the white shadow suddenly disintegrated into light spots all over the sky, leaving only the last words that resounded throughout the battlefield:

"The Chosen Ones, you have won this war game."

"Therefore, what follows will no longer be a war game, but..."

"A real war with everything on the line!"

Boom-!
Deafening thunder suddenly fell from the sky, and the night sky that was bright a second ago suddenly turned into pitch black.

A death-like roar seemed to resound from the depths of the earth, smashing into everyone's mind, and then, a blood-red thunder struck down from the sky.

The next second, a scarlet text prompt popped up from the edge of the sight of all the contractors present, including Xin Lailai, vibrating crazily:

[*Warning: Because the will of this world has died, the stability of this world will undergo serious changes! ! ! 】
