pretend to be a boss

Chapter 214 The Wrath of the Tyrant
There are many kinds of encounters in this world, which create stories one by one.

Princes and commoners, princesses and rogues, legends and grassroots, or just the bland Zhang San meets Li Si.

Akas has always cherished various encounters.

Meeting Tang Xian seems to be the beginning of all kinds of adventures and freedom.

Meeting Tang Suoye is the beginning of self-salvation between each other.

What about number seven?
Many years later, he didn't know why that powerful girl appeared in his life.

The seventh battle in the cage.

The levels of the monsters are completely different from those encountered in previous battles.

Each of them is a killing machine with terrifying strength, with power beyond the reach of ordinary experimental subjects.

Facing these monsters, Akas's speed has no advantage.

But when the battle started, Akas felt an unexpected adaptation.

Although there are many existences whose strength is far superior to him, about a year ago, he had fought against No. [-], and he had seen the peak strength in this world early.

Therefore, he did not have any mistakes.

Like one of the monsters.But even so, this was the most tragic cage fight Akas had ever experienced.

These most powerful experimental subjects, logically speaking, don't need to participate in the cage fight anymore.

Any one released is an existence that can stand alone.

But here only one of them can survive, and in Number Seven's words, these are all catfish.

In this battle, Akas used everything he had to the extreme.

Speed, strength, and even calculation.

In this kind of trial where dozens of people fight together and only one person can survive in the end, choosing an ally in the early stage is also very important, even if this ally will become an enemy in the end.

These calculations can greatly increase survival rates.

During this year, Akas also tried his best to collect information on all opponents.

But even if he achieved this level, on the final battlefield, before the road leading to No. [-], there were still six existences far stronger than him.

It's like being easily defeated by No. [-] a year ago. After all the preparations, Akas managed to eliminate half of his opponents, but finally had to face the rest—monsters who couldn't match no matter how hard he tried. .

They easily ravaged Akas.

But no one dared to approach number seven.

Because the beginning of this cage fight was that No. [-] beheaded two favorites to win the championship with a single sword.

She is like a lonely king, even if she is placed in this group of monsters, she still stands out from the crowd.

She was squatting in the corner, like a passerby watching from the outside.

All the fights in the arena seemed to have nothing to do with her.

This battle has reached the final stage, these monsters finally have no strategy to speak of, and began to fight indiscriminately.

Arcas was the weakest of them all.

Although the speed was extremely fast, it also created the worst situation.

In a duel of seven people, if six of them are fighters with powerful and terrifying powers capable of tearing apart their opponents, the remaining one is a swift and cunning assassin.

Then a reasonable way of fighting should be to deal with this assassin first.

This was an extremely hopeless situation for Akas.

If one of these six people is taken out at random, their strengths are all above him.But it is not without chance.

But if there are six people together, there is really nothing to do.

……

……

Tang Suoye was trampled under Xi He's feet so hard that he couldn't move.

The serum of the Deer of Eden is indeed extremely rare, but since the very beginning, Tang Suoye has never been in Xi He's eyes.

What he stepped on was like an insignificant reptile.

Tang Suoye struggled, watching Akas being locked up by the mud man, about to suffocate to death.

She made a babbling sound, eager to say something, but those words just couldn't come out.

Arcas is dying.

Many years ago, she had seen NO.21's distraught appearance after the death of No. 20.

Don't let her become like that, the light in her blue eyes has dimmed a lot, but there is still a slight light.

Xi He noticed that the mud man's movements had slowed down a bit, and there was only a slight resistance.But indeed, he saw some kind of force pulling the silt man.

He first looked at Yuan Wu, who was still in fear and sadness.

Those memories that were suddenly brought up by Xi He plunged Yuan Wu into a great sense of guilt.

He has no anger and joy, and other emotions are more intense.

The slightest sadness can make him cry, the slightest fear can make him tremble, the slightest guilt can make him feel guilty.

He seemed to be overwhelmed by these emotions, forgetting the most important thing to do.

So Xi He frowned and looked at Tang Suoye.

This girl who was trampled under his feet.

"Is that you?"

To Xi He's surprise, this weak wave of thought power actually came from a girl who shouldn't have the blood of a tyrant?

Around Tang Suoye, there were tiny particles suspended in the air.

The suppression of the Hundred Beasts Hidden Lin was extremely powerful, and Xi He couldn't believe it. Did this weak girl become stronger because she was eager to save Akas?

Tang Suoye instantly felt a strong sense of oppression exerted on him.

That terrifying coercion was like the air suddenly becoming heavy.

Her eyes were fixed on Akas, her mouth was still opening and closing, silently muttering what she couldn't say.

Humans are always greedy.

Earlier, Tang Suoye thought that as long as Akas could be together in this world, it would be fine.

Because after I went crazy, I was the only one left in the cage.

The guilt of killing his compatriots was helped by Akas.

Only Akas would seriously call his own name.

Later, they were really together with Akas, and the two were like fixed partners.

The two figures, one big and one small, became the strongest combination in the evolution division of the second fortress.

No matter what kind of task, it can be completed quickly.

But after a long time like this, I still want more.

Tang Suoye thought, it would be great if he could live freely outside with Akas.

No longer need to be busy killing, no longer need to encourage each other, enlighten each other, and go through cruel and disgusting cage trials.

Every time he killed so many enemies, Tang Suoye would bury his head in Akas' arms and cry.

As long as there is enough remorse and guilt, tears can wash away those sins.

But they all understand that this kind of evil cannot be washed away at all.

Akas always comforted Tang Suoye gently.

Later, the god may have heard his wish.

As long as she can leave the evolution zone, as long as she can gain freedom, she is willing to sacrifice a lot of things.

It doesn't matter if you can't speak, or your ability is taken away.

This day also made her wait, just like what Akas said when he was in Red Lotus Hell:
"In this world, there is a child of luck. He may be weak and ordinary, but he can live anywhere and in the way he likes.

Everything he does goes smoothly, and any problems he encounters are easily resolved. Are you envious?But we're also amazing.

In the future, no matter how powerful you become, you will not be able to cut off these painful memories, but don't be afraid.

They don't hurt you, these sad experiences—

One day, the world you face will be gentle to you. "

This world used to be gentle, and all the wishes I made came true bit by bit.

Thinking of this, Tang Suoye felt more and more unwilling.

Because the man who was the most gentle to him, his only relative and lover in this world, was slowly dying.

Her struggle became violent.

A hoarse and ugly monosyllabic cry came from his throat.

If these sounds are restored in human language, it is a name.

Arcas.

She roared unwillingly, like the cry of someone with a hoarse voice.

Obviously there is no ups and downs in decibels, but it is shocking.

But the person who was about to die not far away couldn't hear all this at all.

But Tang Suoye didn't care about it, she just kept shouting, over and over again, as if she was conveying her last wish to the gods.

Longing for love when no one loves.Longing for freedom while being loved.After having freedom, the last wish is so humble.

She just wanted to call Akas by name.

But those voices were like obscure tidal sounds, distant waves crashing on the rocks, just mournful cries without any meaning.

……

……

The past cannot be changed, so people will not be immersed in beautiful dreams.

Akas didn't think about changing anything. If he went back to the past, he would still protect Tang Suoye and take her to wander around the world.

They depend on each other, as if there is only each other in this world.

It's just that before he met Tang Suoye, he might be more friendly to another girl.

The seventh trial in the cage is a trial that Akas will never forget in his life.

He never understood why the organization never erased his memory.

Is it an oversight, or is it his own script, which requires it?
With one against six, Akas did not win this impossible challenge.

The strong will to live made Akas faster and faster in the battle, so fast that several other experimental subjects discovered to their horror that this man could fight them with speed alone.

But this kind of high-intensity battle consumes more on Akas.

An experimental subject who was far stronger than him was finally pierced through the heart with a dagger.The price in exchange was that his calf was also seriously injured.

The speed becomes slow.

Arcas could no longer win against these people.

Once there is no speed, this severely biased experimental body becomes the weakest existence.

It's just that after witnessing the process of Akas from zero to existence, Number Seven's expression became strange.

When a few experimental subjects were about to tear Akas apart.

Seventh made a sudden move.

She was holding a big sword, and her speed was second only to Akas. Those five beings who could easily defeat Akas were killed by No. [-] like a storm.

She is the Valkyrie of this battlefield, the unparalleled monster in this world!

After a few short rounds, No. [-] stood in front of the pile of flesh and organs, looking at Akas with a strange expression.

Akas couldn't describe the complex expression Number Seven had when he saw him at that time.

Angry and sad, or relieved?

These complex emotions that cannot coexist flashed one by one, and finally turned into a paragraph:

"Akas, you are still not fast enough. How can you save others like this? You can't even save yourself."

There is no banter in the past, just like a sister telling a younger brother that you must study harder.

Arcas looked at Number Seven in bewilderment.

"Next, I will use my strongest sword to end you. Is it a memorial to our short-lived friendship these days?"

Seven raised his greatsword.

As if the Valkyries were gathering divine power, it was hard for Akas to imagine that there were such powerful humans in this world, and the air around him became violent.

He was desperate and wanted to give up struggling, because he really couldn't imagine how to confront No. [-].

The power gap between the two is like a river and an ocean.

But at this moment, he heard the mocking voice of Number Seven:
"So you haven't changed at all, Akas, is that the only will you have to live?
Do you really want to leave here?Have you really yearned for survival and freedom?

Look at your cowardly look.

There is no way for a person to live alone in this world.But who else can you protect in the future?
In the face of the absolute power gap, do you have to show an expression of God's will?
You really make me nauseous!nausea! "

If these words were placed in the past, Akas has no doubt that Number Seven would say them in a contemptuous and cynical tone.

He could feel the horror of the sky and the earth collapsing after a sword was cut down.

But he was also sure... the anger and sadness in Number Seven's eyes was so real, Number Seven was like roaring hysterically.

A terrifying slash is about to strike.

Akas seemed to be woken up suddenly by scolding.

At the same time, there was a faint tidal sound in my ears.

Like the empty sea above, a girl's sad and vague singing.

In the transition between life and death, Akas finally recalled his memory again amidst two voices.

He remembered.

I am not in the past, all this is just an illusion.

And soon he will die.

His consciousness seemed to be somewhere between reality and fantasy.

After meeting Xi He, all the questions he couldn't figure out when he was facing Qi Hao all those years ago were answered at this moment.

The self in his memory did not give in at this time, he got up and recalled the passage that Number Seven had said.

"What about the story?"

"No story, I just want to tell you a little secret."

"what?"

"My weakness, when I wield my giant sword, I am invincible. I only need one blow to kill the enemy.

But when I use the strongest sword, the excessive power will make it impossible for me to turn. "

"You told me this, what are you going to do?"

"You can choose to protect me behind your back while fighting with me."

It turned out that fate had already begun to pave the way for everything today.

Just like in Akas's memory, the self at the time was in the limit of life and death, under No. [-]'s scolding, recalled this detail.

It's like a drowning man has finally caught a life-saving weed.

Even though his calf was injured, he unleashed the fastest attack in his life.

No. [-], the overlord of the test area, was finally stabbed through the heart by himself back then.

It's just that at that time, he didn't understand what Number Seven said before he died.

In the pool of blood, the giant sword fell to the ground with a dull sound.

Arcas breathed hard.Number Seven had long hair hanging down, bent her body, and waited for the god of death to take her away.

"Congratulations, you finally jumped out of the fish tank."

"At that time, why did you tell me..."

"Weakness? Poor Akas, do you think you have won? Do you think that what this world is waiting for you is the freedom you are looking for? Outside the fish tank is just a bigger fish tank..."

Number Seven paused, tears streaming down her pretty cheeks, silently.

"Forget it, I'm about to die. Obviously destroying you or not destroying you is the same ending, but you didn't give up the opportunity I gave you."

Arcas didn't understand.

Seven looks more like talking to himself.

With the last of her strength, she turned around and stroked Akas' face.

"Akas, I agree with you. You must always remember your will to live. Maybe someone will love you from the bottom of your heart in the future, but at least until now, everything you have experienced is fake. My ah ...is the catfish."

Number Seven's vitality will be extinct.

In Akas' memory, she finally died in his arms.

There are many, many questions, but there is no time to ask them.

Until the end, he didn't know what to say.

Back then, I was also very strange. Even though I was a mortal enemy, I just didn't hate this powerful Valkyrie.

"What's your name?"

"Ha...you still remember this question."

"Please, please tell me."

"This sword is called Dragon Rose, I don't have a name, I'm just born to be an unlucky catfish.

Akas... You don't have to remember me, but please remember, you owe me your life!You have to live, you have to live no matter what..."

These are the last words of Number Seven, the owner of Dragon Rose.

She seemed to be someone who knew the script and wanted to give him a spoiler, but for various reasons, she couldn't warn him.

All she can do is to let this man understand that the only real thing in this world is the living self.

And until today's encounter, I heard Xi He's words——

Akas finally understood that intention.

Why did that girl tell herself her weakness.And why did it start with the story of a catfish.

All of this is just a script written by the evolution zone.The purpose is to kill this catfish at some point in the future, so that I can feel extremely angry——

To complete the so-called "evolution".

This kind of thing has been done a lot in the evolution area.

For example, the tyrant named Kratos has a fabricated family.

After seeing Kratos' anger, Xi He, the leader of the evolution zone, began to think that in order to arouse the most intense emotions of the tyrants, they need to make them pay.

To give them the will to live, to make them love this world.

In order for them to show extreme rage or other emotions.

They should be given those things that normal humans have.

It's just that all of these are carefully choreographed after scripting.

It's like putting catfish in a sardine tank, those lazy and noble sardines will become active.

From the beginning, No. [-] was just to test herself.

She is more pathetic than others, because she was aware of her own destiny early on.

Perhaps because she has too much power compared to other test products, she is qualified to see the top level of evil in this world.

Maybe it was Xihe, or maybe it was an existence even more terrifying than Xihe.

But because of such an existence, she became a complete pessimist.

In the world she thought, the whole world was just the "master"'s fish tank.We are nothing more than captive creatures.

She is not as optimistic as Akas.

She accepted her script and lived to test the silver-haired boy.

Test his will to live, test his emotions.

Every line of hers may be just everything that has been programmed by the evolution zone long ago.

This girl without a name gave her weapon a name.

Or she has long regarded herself as a weapon.

But it was such a person who finally revealed his truest heart.

She wanted Arcas to live.

She didn't dare to say too much to Akas, fearing that the aloof god, the existence called "Master", would erase Akas.

She could only tell him before she died that she must live no matter what, because only the living self is the only real thing in this world.

But the saddest thing is that these performances are exactly what the "owner" expected.That mysterious supreme existence has calculated various temperaments of No. [-].

It was precisely in anticipation that these real performances would detonate the compassion and anger in Akas' heart at some point in the future, so she got such a script.

She is a poor creature who can't even "really live".

Time seemed to be unified again.

Be it dreams or hallucinations, with the recovery of consciousness, the girl named No. [-] with the dragon rose completely disappeared.

The world in Akas' memory also began to slowly dissipate.

The tide in my ear is getting clearer and clearer, as if calling someone to go back.It was a language that humans couldn't understand, but Akas could understand it. It was his girl who was longing for him to get rid of death!
In the eyes that could not shed tears, there was still anger and sadness.

A faint fiery red, from the depths of Akas' heart...began to spread slowly.

It was like a fire that could not be extinguished was ignited in the cold wasteland.

Those who died in the past, and those who are alive now, have turned into a firewood in his soul as early as these years——

To burn violently at the end of life!
　This is a bit of gossip.Regarding No. [-], in fact, when there is a CP, it is better to use a male character as No. [-], but this is an Easter egg that I wanted to bury a long time ago.The setting of the tyrant has great significance in the human camp. The next chapter is Tang Xian’s chapter. The title of Two Catfish actually covers a long chapter, but considering that everyone doesn’t like chapters with plain titles, I changed it to up.
