I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"...Do you want to retreat?"

"Willier and the others have also lost contact since the sun on the sea disappeared."

"So, what is the background of this guy in front of me...!"

The top seven teams in the world actually lost the two strongest teams in less than three minutes.

And he was still unable to resist... and was massacred.

"Won't you come and play with me?"

Facing the man's warm invitation with open arms, several people looked at each other, and then chose to run away in an instant.

Three groups of six people fired electricity in different directions at the same time, and lost their trace in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Mo was left alone and messy in the wind.

"Ah? Why did they all run away... This would be super boring!"

With the jet-black blade almost as long as his body carried on his back, Cheng Mo lowered his posture.

The ground beneath his feet was suddenly shattered, and even the afterimage could not be captured. Cheng Mo disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Then one of the groups who was running away with all their strength looked at the smiling face that suddenly appeared next to them, and their whole bodies were instantly soaked in cold sweat.

"Catch the first one~"

"Varied--"

Poof!

The head with a puzzled expression flew into the air along with the bloody light, and then was pulled down by gravity, rolling out long traces on the ground.

"If I just run away... this game will become a hunt for me alone~ So why don't you resist to some extent? Or maybe you don't want to die.

So~I am very kind...really really~"

My partner's promoter was killed in an instant, and I didn't even see what happened...

The starter girl leaned against the tree stump tremblingly, moving her lips but couldn't utter a single word for a long time - she was so frightened!

"No...don't...! Don't come here!"

"Is the blood here also very sweet? Hahahahaha!!"

Zheng——!

"I don't want to die!!"

....

Desperate shouts pierced the jungle, and the girl who put her arms in vain to resist in front of her closed her eyes tightly, but then nothing seemed to happen.

It wasn't until he plucked up the courage to open his eyes that he realized that the man's blade had stopped in front of him.

"If you don't want to die, just say so." The terrifying smile on his face disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if he had lost interest in himself.

".....Eh?"

"I'm going to find other people to play with. You can go home by yourself!"

The blade dripping blood slowly moved away, and Cheng Mo rubbed the girl's head.

Then with a bang, the figure disappeared in front of her eyes.

The strong wind caused by the air flow blew the girl's bangs upside down. With her eyes wide open, her legs became weak and she collapsed on the ground. It seemed that she still hadn't realized what happened.

...

"I... survived?"

Just saying "I don't want to die" is enough?

--Why? !

Chapter 102 Lighthouse

The combination of IP ranking first, second, third, fourth, seventh...

——Total destruction.

In the fifth and sixth ranked combinations, the facilitator died and only two starters survived. The reason for survival was that they voluntarily gave up the fight and begged the target for mercy.

Now, only 21 minutes have passed since the landing module landed. The strongest civilian police combination in mankind has been almost completely wiped out...or rather, they were massacred without the ability to resist.

Faced with this result, there was a dead silence among the people watching all this behind the scenes.

From the beginning, I thought that I only needed to use the [Ladder] to eliminate the Scorpios in stage five.

Until now, all the hopes of mankind have been ruthlessly crushed in front of them, and there is no longer any capital that can resist him.

The huge black-red sword light rising into the sky seemed to cut off all human hopes in an instant.

The area outside the boundary of the giant stone monument is riddled with holes, as if it had been carpet bombed 24 hours a day. The plowed black soil has been turned over, and the forest area has disappeared at least several hundred hectares. There is even a brand new river. It was created when the ground was split vertically and water poured in.

The rising smoke condensed into dark clouds and covered the sun. This burning scorched earth was like a reappearance of hell in the past.

But all this is the work of only one person.

"I think I moved my body a little bit." Cheng Mo slowly walked along the river beside him to the seaside. As the tip of the retracted knife was wiped away by Wu Feng, the blood and dirt were wiped away, and the rust was put into the sheath.

[The cursed child who gave up the fight spared her life. 】

"Of course - I've kept your promise, now it's your turn, Jean."

[You also kill those children who have not had time to beg for mercy. They clearly chose to run away. 】

"Eh?! Really~ I don't care about that. It's their own fault. Don't bargain with me. Hey... I will only let the cute loli beg for mercy from me. Whatever I don't say, it's all my fault. It doesn’t count as giving up the fight.”

Cheng Mo talked to himself as he walked.

"If you want to stop me, why not just stop me? After all, you are still watching."

[Forget it, we can’t save everyone. 】

"That's right~ This is a change - don't get it wrong, even if there is the blood of innocent people, there is nothing that can be done, and besides, they are not innocent."

The Initiator who never gave up the fight until his death undoubtedly had his hands stained with the blood of hundreds of similar people.

They have no will to continue living. They live in torture and even feel numb to taking their lives.

"It's a relief..."

Back to Leticia, Rentaro, who witnessed what Cheng Rang did on the big screen, was the first to rush forward and fiercely pulled Cheng Mo's collar.

"Why do you even have to kill those who escaped?! You have obviously spared those initiates who begged you for mercy! They have no intention of fighting anymore, why not spare those people too?"

Cheng Mo stared coldly at the angry Rentaro in front of him.

"You can't do anything else besides shouting. If you don't like it, come and stop me."

Rentaro grabbed his collar and clenched his hands suddenly, and Yanzhu quickly stepped forward to give him a tug.

"Rentaro!"

Rentaro let go of his hand and retreated weakly, only to be pulled aside by Enju.

"Just watch from the sidelines. Don't do things like this to make me look down on you, Rentaro... If you can muster up the courage, my back will be open to you at any time." Cheng Mo He turned around and patted his wrinkled collar, "If you still can't do anything but yell next time... I'll kill you."

As if the overwhelming murderous intention turned into a pitch-black wave, Rentaro was thrown against the wall. The severe pain of his internal organs being crushed made Rentaro spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Rentaro!!"

Enzhu screamed and quickly supported Rentaro who almost fell to the ground.

He was able to severely injure himself without even touching himself. The seven strongest groups in the world were almost completely destroyed in less than half an hour...

Even if Rentaro wanted to stop him now, he couldn't bring up that courage and idea. He was defeated by frustration and hung his head deeply.

Cheng Mo ignored Rentaro who closed his mouth and raised his hand to rub Leticia's head, but she mercilessly avoided him.

"You'd better be more honest with your hands!"

"Don't be so heartless, Thea. After all, your power is still mine."

Cheng Mo made a sad expression, leaned into Leticia's ear and whispered: "If I hadn't asked my brother to intercede for you, you would have been mine~ Hehe!"

Leticia ignored Cheng Mo's words and just issued a notice: "This place is ready."

"Okay, let's start~"

The sound of electricity appeared on the screen along with snowflakes that looked like the TV signal was poor.

The people in the command room who had been waiting uneasily looked at the screen that turned on again. Sheng Tianzi stood up from his seat. The picture gradually became clearer, and a girl's figure appeared on it.

It was dark all around.

The girl lowered her head and said nothing. Sheng Tianzi pressed his chapped lips hard and mustered up the courage to speak to her.

"Excuse me...what's your name?"

...

Above the rolling white waves of the sea, Scorpio's huge body extends upward, and dozens of thick tentacles are raised toward the sky, like multiple antennas combined, spreading and amplifying the invisible waves outward.

Scorpio is the one with the lowest combat ability and physical strength among the twelve zodiac signs, and correspondingly has extremely powerful mental abilities.

Like a cell tower, it has the ability to communicate with and activate all Phase 5s.

It is like a spiritual beacon that illuminates the direction in a dark world, an existence like a "command integration body".

To put it another way, it is like a nuclear bomb launch button that can set off the horn of destruction. It is a collection of the highest consciousness that fully unleashes all the abilities of stage five and allows them to cooperate with each other.

After Scorpio awakens, he has the terrifying ability to combine with the other five stages to easily destroy the entire human civilization.

This is equivalent to giving other stage five "brains" that can think, perfectly combining efficiency and power.

With the current power of the human world, even if the combinations with IP rankings one to seven are not eliminated, they still cannot be stopped...

However, it is precisely because humans cannot control Scorpio in stage five, and she cannot awaken by relying on her own power alone. Only then could humans [lose] in the Gastrea War ten years ago.

Rather than being [extinct].

It starts from "imperfection", ends with "imperfection", and survives in "imperfection".

But now it seems all that will change.

The screen shook twice, then finally calmed down, and the girl's clear figure appeared in front of everyone watching her.

Facing the Shengtianzi's question, the girl slowly raised her head.

"My name is Tianxuan Liuli."

It's not the sound coming from the speakers or the screen.

Instead, it rang directly in the minds of all those who were watching her.

Tianxuan Liuli calmly answered the first... question posed to her by a human.

Shinoda and Kanade's face turned pale the moment she heard the name. She ignored the people around her who were shouting and pushing her back and forth, and looked up at the big screen at the entrance to the shelter in District 9.

"Shinoda? Follow me quickly, what's wrong with you!"

Dr. Igarashi held Shinoda's hand tightly and pushed through the crowd to come to her.

"Now is not the time to be dazed!"

"....Didn't you hear?" Shinoda's feet seemed to be nailed to the spot, and she pointed to the screen not far away with trembling.

She hasn't changed at all...as if time was frozen ten years ago.

Quietly, quietly staring at yourself, your gaze is firmly captured, and you can't separate it at all.

"What?"

Igarashi looked in the direction of Shinoda's finger. Black and white snowflakes were flashing on the screen. It was obvious that the signal had been interrupted long ago. No one was paying attention to that side. They just wanted to squeeze into the shelter to have a greater chance of survival. .

"That's a screen of snowflakes. Shinoda, are you mistaken?"

He can't see...

Shinoda howled desperately from the inside, and she also wanted to classify the sounds in her mind and the images she saw as hallucinations.

But that's impossible——
