Above Destiny

Chapter 516 Urgent
Twenty minutes ago, in the square outside the Cathedral of the Sacrifice, two figures stood quietly among the surging crowd, staring at everything in front of them.

In the atmosphere of fanaticism and joy, there were only people who seemed irrelevant.

Standing in silence for a long, long time...

It's like waiting for a friend who promised to go out an hour and a half ago. I gradually become anxious and annoyed.

But in the silence, it feels like taking an elevator to a very high floor.

After pressing the button, it slowly moved upwards with no end in sight, and the endless silence gradually became awkward.

So, I started to find something to talk about...

“The sky is blue.”

"Ah."

“The wind is nice, too.”

"really."

"..."

"..."

Rather than dispel the awkwardness, the brief conversation made the silence seem deafening.

Seeing Wen Wen getting anxious again, Ji Jue couldn't help but sigh. Taking advantage of his height advantage, he patted her shoulder to comfort her. Then, before she could react, he quickly found a topic to talk about: "Sister Wen, what do you want to say?"

Wen Wen folded her arms and stamped her feet. She didn't have time to get angry about Ji Jue patting her on the shoulder. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the slight smile on Ji Jue's lips.

I can't hold back my smile.

A pure wasteland girl like Sister Wen who is single-minded and single-threaded is really easy to appease.

"...If I have to say, it just feels a little strange."

Wen Wen pinched her chin and thought for a long time, then said with emotion: "We have known each other for so long, and although we have cooperated a lot, this is the first time we have gone out to fight together properly, right?"

"Well, indeed."

Ji Jue nodded, thought about it, and said with emotion: "There has never been any opportunity."

"..."

Suddenly, the look Wen Wen cast at him became more complicated, as if he was watching his younger brother running to someone else's house to work!
"That guy Tong Zhiwu, every time he talks about you, his eyes seem to light up, and he talks about how reliable and capable you are, and how well we work together... I can only nod and say um and ah beside him, and I can't get a word in. Every time he finishes talking, he still asks me, it must be easy to go on missions with such a reliable friend, I really envy you."

Wen Wen's teeth were almost broken: "In the end, I didn't get any advantage at all!"

"No, generally speaking, no matter what opponent you meet, you will basically crush him with one punch, right? If one punch doesn't crush him, just punch again."

Ji Jue regretfully reminded, "I don't have any chance to show my abilities. Besides, aren't craftsmen supposed to stay in the base camp and work honestly? It would be unlucky if we really had to engage in a battle with others."

But thinking about it, I have been fighting with people outside the workshop for so long that I am almost used to it... Is it just bad luck?

"Craftsman..."

Wen Wen was silent for a moment, "Although I still don't know whether being a craftsman is a good thing for you, but you seem to be doing quite well.

It’s only been a little over a year and I’ve already mastered the art of Tiangong. If things don’t go well, I might have to ask for your protection when I go out.”

She sighed and punched Ji Jue's shoulder, but forgot his height and punched his chest instead. Then, she realized what was happening and suddenly raised her head, looking at him closely:
"By the way, why did you tap my shoulder just now?"

"Eh? Is there any?"

Ji Jue looked over blankly. His innocent eyes made Wen Wen more convinced. She clenched her fists and said, "You kid, you are taking advantage of me because I am small, right?"

"No, no, it just happened. It just happened. I really didn't mean it."

Ji Jue hurriedly explained and comforted her, trying hard to hold back his laughter, "But I think, Sister Wen, your current height is quite cute. Haha - Hey, there's no need to hit me, right?

Okay, okay, I'll shut up."

Ji Jue raised his hands to beg for mercy, otherwise Wen Wen would jump up and slap him on the head. The petrified condition of his body has not been relieved yet. If he is slapped again, his head will fly off and it will be more troublesome to put it back.

Seeing him surrender, Wen Wen snorted and looked away.

do not want to talk.

Ji Jue looked down and saw that after installing the mechanical limbs, his height actually increased by more than 30 centimeters. Now, Wen Wen was only at his chest.

How should I put it? I always feel that as I become shorter and younger, my mind seems to become much younger as well.

No, this world built on the remains of Huangliang is ultimately a dream. Everything is just an illusion. Even a person's appearance is based on their inner self-perception. In other words...

He looks so mature and steady, but he is completely different inside!

"puff--"

As Ji Jue was thinking, his stomach suddenly ached and he bent down involuntarily.

Got elbowed!
"Hey, Sister Wen, what are you doing?"

"Ah? I don't know either. I just want to hit you twice for no apparent reason." Wen Wen asked solemnly, "Usually at this time, the guy who got beaten up is thinking about some weird things in his mind. You are not the same, are you? "

"Not at all!"

"Then why do I want to hit you more and more?"

"You just want to beat someone up!"

"Don't let me catch you, kid!"

……

It was just some casual chats when we were bored, but for some reason, I don’t know when it started, the awkwardness and alienation disappeared.

They stood together naturally, pushing and shoving each other.

Amid the countless fanatical prayers and shouts around, it was like two completely different drops of water mixing into the ocean, drifting slowly forward.

Wait patiently.

Until the roar of the door opening finally sounded.

The figure that seemed to be illuminated by holy light walked out slowly amid the cheers of the crowd, as if representing a god, reigning over the earth. He glanced at everything with contempt, but was not at all lingered by the beauty and glory of the world.

finally--

Ji Jue sighed silently. After spreading so much bait and digging the nest for so long, finally a huge creature heavy enough rose from the water and showed its head!
"Sister Wen, come on." He lowered his head and gave a final encouragement.

"Tsk, do you need to tell me that?"

Wen Wen smiled, lifted her hood, stared straight at the saint hundreds of meters away, and flexed her wrist: "Watch me."

After nagging for so long, I can finally have a clean fight!

She clenched the two-part spear behind her and put it together. The weight was finely adjusted and it felt like it was integrated with her five fingers. The size, weight, and center of gravity were all perfect.

At that moment, she tightly grasped the reconstructed spear and threw it out brazenly!
This caused a huge storm.

The iron light was burning red, and it drew a straight line. It penetrated into the chest of Saint Idra across such a long distance as if tearing thin paper. The terrifying power erupted again, dragging the body up and nailing it into the sacred door.

The afterglow was followed by a loud bang.

Amidst countless noises, such as screams, roars, mumblings, and wails, the crowd dispersed like a receding tide, and some fanatics who did not know their own limitations tried to pounce on them.

A pistol was raised under the sleeve of his robe.

Ji Jue pulled the trigger without looking back, and shot them down one by one. The silver bullets penetrated into the spinal cord like living things, spread out, absorbed their intelligence, and quickly solidified.

Turn those fanatics into broken stone statues.

At best, it's just dust.

Because the true voice of God’s wrath rang out from the highest point of the temple!
"Heresy, heresy...heresy!"

On the Holy Gate, the incomplete saint convulsed and raised his broken face. His handsome and solemn face was full of ferocity. His scarlet eyes stared at Wen Wen and Ji Jue intently, and he opened his mouth and roared:
"Death to heretics!!!"

boom--!
The broken body suddenly swelled up like a balloon, expanding to its limit, and then exploded with a loud bang, and blood and flesh spread like a tide.

Bang!
The spear flew backwards and fell to the ground, corroded by blood and quickly rusted.

And amidst the angry roar, Idra broke free from his fragile body, and the so-called saint revealed his true appearance!

It was like a strange giant snake, using its broken body as an exit, galloping out and wriggling endlessly. Fanatical faces dotted his body like scales.

And on the snake-like body, six wing-like organs quickly unfolded, as if they were woven out of bones and flesh, looking terrifying and hideous.

And four heads, four faces, grew out from the head of the giant snake - compassion, indifference, anger and smile, the expressions changed endlessly.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and yelled angrily.

Roaring like a lion.

An invisible frenzy erupted, blowing in all directions. A massive weight appeared out of thin air, crushing all bricks, tiles, buildings, structures, and even fragile human bodies into pieces!

The divine power was boundless, but the believers who did not have the chance to escape were instantly turned into meat paste, leaving only blood mist floating in the air.

Including those fanatics who were shackled by Ji Jue.

The demons and heretics did not harm them, but the power of the gods crushed them into pieces without any care. No, in the eyes of the saints, mortals who have not washed away their original sin are not worthy of any love, right?

Not to mention the heresy in front of us!
The heretics didn't care about him either.

Even if the gravity torrent swept over, he was too lazy to even take a look - the saint did not cherish the believers, but Sister Wen could definitely protect me!

Wen Wen stretched out her hand, and the rusty spear flew out and fell into her hand. She held it upside down and stabbed it towards the ground!

Like a reef, it smashed the oncoming torrent into pieces, and caused the invisible force to break out from the center and flow out to both sides.

"It's up to you, Sister Wen!"

Ji Jue retreated without any sense of chivalry, just like a trainer throwing out a Pokémon, and said aggressively: "Kill him!"

"Would you please shut up—"

Seeing this bastard's nonchalant look, Wen Wen was furious. But being angry was easy, as she had a ready-made vent right in front of her.

boom!
A crack suddenly appeared on the ground. Wen Wen rushed forward, trampled the earth, soared into the air, and shot towards the angelic saint in mid-air.

In his hand, the golden spear once again shone brightly, easily cutting through the strong wind and barrier raised by the wings. He rushed forward, breaking through the two wings covering his face, and pointed the upside-down spear towards Idel's face.

Then, I saw the mockery on the four faces.

Open your mouth and spit! !

The scarlet lightning intertwined with each other and burst out, like a sharp blade, coming towards you!

The spear and the thunder collided, and a sharp sound of metal friction was heard. The rusted part spread rapidly, and in the end, it actually broke in the middle...? !

Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, then flew backwards, fell, and rolled on the ground in a panic, but scarlet thunder blades kept falling like a rainstorm, chasing her closely.

"Ji Jue, what's going on!"

Wen Wen was furious: "Why is this thing broken!"

"It was originally made from an angel, and an underdeveloped smuggled angel at that. It's normal for it to break after being hit on both sides."

Ji Jue poked his head out and waved his hand calmly: "You hold it first, I'll take care of it right away!"

"I'll give you a—"

Wen Wen's teeth were about to break as she finally understood what it meant to be a craftsman's words deceiving people!

Am I here to be your experimental subject?
But now that things had come to this, she could only throw the two broken guns to Ji Jue. However, Ji Jue on the other side had already fallen into the siege of the angels and was at a loss.

Before she had time to care about others, she heard the roar coming from the sky again.

It rained heavily.

Countless scarlet thunders covered the sky, and fell from the sky amid the wrath and mockery of the saint!

"Heretics, die!"

But the next moment, the endless falling thunder suddenly stopped, and then broke through from the middle.

A figure has risen into the sky again, at an incredibly fast speed, like a meteorite swimming upstream, smashing the fragile thunder head-on.

Close at hand!

In front of four faces and eight pairs of eyes, Wen Wen clenched her fists and swung them out mercilessly.

【. 】

After a moment of astonishment, the huge number of saints actually...

Fly out backwards!

boom! ! ! !

Amidst a loud bang, the huge angel smashed into the broken cathedral and was almost embedded in the collapsed ruins.

Just one punch!
In the rising smoke and dust, the figure approaching step by step was outlined.

"Maybe you have a bad memory?"

Wen Wen raised her hand and wiped the blood from her face nonchalantly, looking up with contempt: "Have you forgotten how I beat you before I had those things?"
