Arknights' Lock of Heaven

A rose, a symbol of passionate love, was ruthlessly shattered.

"Soldiers, do not let illusions deceive your eyes!"

Patriot's thunderous voice rang out.

Although his body was riddled with holes from Oripathy, and even his vocal cords were no longer intact, his voice was still so passionate.

The dazed shield guards were awakened by the voice that was etched into their bones, and their loose hands gripped their weapons again.

But it is already late.

In the presence of such a master of illusion, a moment's lapse in concentration can determine success or failure.

"What an amazing warrior!" the voice that had summoned countless flowers exclaimed once more.

"If I were to leave like this today, they would surely laugh at my stinginess."

“Then,” the figure that had been surrounded by flowers suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of the Patriot, who was wrapped up in layers of flowers.

“O brave warrior who defied injustice, this is your reward,” he said, placing a dazzling crystal flower on the patriot’s tightly gripped halberd.

Then it transformed into countless flower petals and soared into the sky.

Before anyone could react, it disappeared from their sight.

The sea of ​​flowers that once covered the ground gradually withered, but the crystal flower in the patriot's hand became even more beautiful.

31 The impending natural disaster

vomit……

Recalling her performance when loading Merlin's Spirit Origin, Xia Yu couldn't help but gag.

He would never have chosen Merlin if Merlin hadn't been so perfectly suited for the scene.

Xia Yu and Merlin don't get along.

Or rather, Xia Yu is unilaterally at odds with Merlin.

This person realized his true stance on the Absolute Demonic Front even earlier than Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Then he kept harassing Xia Yu one-sidedly.

Even Xia Yu's plan to kidnap Fujimaru Ritsuka and demand ransom from Chaldea was instigated by him.

Poor Fujimaru Ritsuka was sold out by Merlin just like that!

Although she's not exactly an easy character to deal with either.

Only Mashu is always so cute and innocent.

Unfortunately, the cute and innocent junior always treated Xia Yu like a thief.

To prevent him from getting close to his seniors.

It's absolutely awful in every sense of the word.

Perhaps Merlin thought he could win over Xia Yu, but...

Really annoying!

Thinking about what she had just said in Merlin's tone, Xia Yu couldn't help but gag twice.

too disgusting.

Xia Yu doesn't dislike Merlin.

It's simply that I can't handle it.

This relationship may seem contradictory, but that's just how it is.

After seeing through his true stance, that bastard even went so far as to come every morning under the guise of waking Xia Yu up on time to freeload breakfast!

Xia Yu's breakfasts were so bland and tasteless that even she found them unappetizing, yet that bastard Merlin still came to freeload every day.

Xia Yu knew what he was after; the two of them were well aware of each other's intentions.

If it were someone else, he might hesitate, but Merlin?

no way!

Quetzalcoatl, the chief god of the Americas!

He ruined half of his divinity!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for a single kick to crack Tiamat's horn.

After all, he is a god. If Merlin hadn't been such a terrible teammate, would things have gone so badly? Anna even had to finish him off.

Xia Yu was hoping to turn against them one last time and enter Valhalla to save her life.

Even a worker with a suppressive force is better off than dying in this singularity.

Listen to Merlin? You might as well hang yourself with your hair.

Xia Yu doesn't dislike Merlin.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have used his spirit origin.

But the thought of speaking in Merlin's cloying tone makes me want to vomit.

too disgusting.

He doesn't dislike Merlin, but human nature is complex; not disliking Merlin and feeling nauseous at the sound of his voice are not contradictory.

As for that crystal flower?

It's simply a matter of sealing away a miracle.

Dark clouds filled the sky, and streaks of golden lightning twisted and turned wildly within them.

Under the dense clouds, the light gradually dimmed, and even the wind stopped.

An omnipresent sense of oppression overwhelmed all the survivors in the city.

This is a sign that a natural disaster is about to strike.

Amiya and Doberman planned a route together, hoping to escape as safely as possible from the mob's attack.

A person completely wrapped in Rhodes Island uniform, with even their face covered, stood silently behind them, surveying the newly formed ruins, lost in thought.

ACE's team has joined them, but the situation is still not optimistic.

Ahead was the position where Nearl and Team E4 were waiting, but their steps were blocked by a group of people.

"Actually, as long as you win, you can leave my hunting ground safely."

"That's what the boy with the sickly smile said."

“Next, my ‘friends’ will keep trying to kill you. You will win as long as you survive.”

"So, the rules are simple, aren't they?"

“We’re prepared to break out,” ACE said solemnly to Amiya, “but we must at least hold out against this siege…”

"Why?" Amiya asked through gritted teeth, looking at the boy who seemed completely unconcerned about the impending catastrophe. "The catastrophe is coming, and if we don't evacuate Chernobog, everyone will..."

“What are you talking about?” Mephisto’s sickly smile was even wider than before. “It’s precisely because of the natural disaster that this is a moment that should be celebrated the most!”

"You..." Amiya knew it from his nonchalant expression.

Reasoning with this kind of person is bound to fail.

She raised her hand and released a burst of flames that shot into the sky.

Although he didn't know what task Dr. Kal'tsit had assigned him, he couldn't worry about that now.

Apart from the medical operators, everyone around us is a core member of Rhodes Island, so we should be able to withstand an siege.

These infected people are a motley crew.

But they held them back, and they faced the impending natural disaster...

We can only hope he brings some good news.

Amiya believed that Dr. Kal'tsit wouldn't have sent him to her side for no reason.

It was just before they were about to depart to carry out their mission.

Dr. Kal'tsit must have had her reasons for doing this.

Now, we can only rely on the backup plan arranged by this doctor.

-

Where is Amiya's expected backup plan?

Absolutely fantastic! On the way!

Chernobog is a city with a population of over one million, making it quite large.

However, as a mobile city, it has advantages that ordinary cities do not have.

Develop downwards.
