But how could Vincent fight Chu Tianjiao in such a short time? You know, whether Vincent had fighting experience when he was young is another matter, but he was already an old man with not many days left to live. What did that "god" do to him? What kind of magic did he cast on him? Could it be that just relying on a mask, an ordinary person who was about to die could be transformed into a warrior full of wild power?
"In just a few tens of seconds, Vincent and I's clothes were stained red with blood. We were both on par in terms of speed and strength. I had more skills than him, but he was crazier than me, like an angry bull." Chu Tianjiao said, "During the battle, Vincent was laughing the whole time. He started with a low laugh, but the sound got louder and louder, and finally he laughed wildly, as if he was venting his long-suppressed emotions. It was probably because he felt too aggrieved to face me when he was on the Yamal, and now he has gained strength that is not inferior to mine, and he feels like a small character who was stepped on and suddenly turned over and took revenge."
"If you fight seriously, you should be sure that you can kill Vincent." Chu Zihang suddenly asked Chu Tianjiao.
"Why do you say that?" Chu Tianjiao looked at Chu Zihang and raised his eyebrows.
"Aren't you still releasing 'Time Zero'?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao, "Maintaining the 'Time Zero' field all the time must be very exhausting, right? But 'Time Zero' has no effect on Vincent, you have invested at least one-third of your energy in the Word Spirit."
Chu Tianjiao looked at Chu Zihang deeply. His son was more thoughtful than he had imagined. He was simply a warrior born for battle.
"You're right. If it weren't for maintaining 'Time Zero', I would have had several chances to kill Vincent. Even if I didn't really kill him with one blow, I could at least make him lose his ability to move. But maintaining 'Time Zero' took up a lot of my energy." Chu Tianjiao said, "Those crew members are an unfavorable interference factor. It's actually quite cruel for them to see their former captain kill them with their own eyes. There is another reason. In fact, I don't really want to kill Vincent. It's not because the old guy and I really have any feelings for each other, but because I think he is the best channel for me to understand this Nibelungen. After all, the 'God' he once contacted sounds like the owner of this Nibelungen."
"But he may not tell it, right?" Lu Mingfei said, "Vincent seems to be quite loyal to that 'god', and the mask seems to control his mind. Every time Vincent reveals the 'god''s secrets or tries to defile the 'god's' thoughts, he always twitches a few times."
“So when I was fighting him, I was also thinking about this. Is there any way to get information about God and Nibelung from him? I tried asking him directly, but he wouldn’t tell me. Using force probably wouldn’t work either. In the end, I decided to start with what Vincent cares about the most.” Chu Tianjiao said, “I dodged Vincent’s attack, and when he passed by me, I whispered in his ear, how do you know that God can help you revive your leader?”
"After saying this, Vincent did not attack me immediately. He stopped about three or four meters away from me and looked at me with a playful look under his mask." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that God would of course resurrect his leader for him, because God had promised him that God could do things that ordinary people could not do, just like God had given him extraordinary abilities and eternal life. God would definitely do what He promised, because He is omnipotent."
"This guy has really been brainwashed." Lu Mingfei rolled his eyes almost to the sky.
"Vincent said that if I wanted to spy on God's secrets through him, then I could give up the idea sooner because he would not betray God, just like he would not betray the Führer." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent also said that I didn't need to use such a lowly method to delay time and distract his attention. In his opinion, I asked this question because I couldn't beat him, so I wanted to use this time to survive. After he said these two sentences, he rushed towards me again."
"Vincent's killing intent was strong, but I had no intention of killing him, and I didn't even want to fight him anymore." Chu Tianjiao said, "When Vincent passed by me again, I whispered in his ear again, how do you think 'God' will resurrect your leader?"
"Hearing this question, Vincent's expression became more sarcastic. He raised his head and said to me, this is not something that mortals need to think about, because mortals are destined to not be able to understand the behavior of God." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that God is omnipotent. God can do things that mortals cannot do, and God can also do things that mortals cannot imagine. Since God has made a promise to him, he will definitely be able to do it. His head will become the greatest leader of the new era."
"At this moment, I am finally sure that I can break through Vincent's heart." Chu Tianjiao suddenly said, "Because I found a flaw in his words."
"Because he trusted that 'God' too blindly?" Caesar asked.
"This is one point. The more important point is that I found that Vincent's subconscious still retains a blind worship of Xi Te Ba." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent's self-consciousness is almost entirely occupied by his leader, but now he is brainwashed by 'God'. In his view, Xi Te Ba is his belief, and 'God' is also glorious and brilliant. Xi Te Ba is omnipotent, and 'God' is also omnipotent... Then, who is greater between these two beings?"
"Do you want to use the existence of rare and special things to shake the control of 'God' over Vincent?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao.
"No, to be precise, I want to use the existence of Xi Te Li to completely destroy Vincent's belief in 'God'." Chu Tianjiao said, "Or even make Vincent completely hate 'God'."
"How can this be done?"
"It only takes one question." Chu Tianjiao said, "I only asked Vincent one question. I looked into his eyes under the mask and asked him, how do you know that the resurrected leader is still your leader?"
"The resurrected leader... or your leader?" Caesar repeated the sentence in a low voice, then frowned slightly. The words sounded a bit confusing at first, but upon closer thought, they revealed a deep sense of incongruity.
"What a vicious move." Nuonuo figured it out. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and couldn't help but admire the middle-aged man's superb psychological tactics when he was young.
The people in the room also gradually showed expressions of sudden enlightenment. Chu Tianjiao's words sounded a little difficult to understand, but combined with his and Vincent's positions at the time, this sentence was definitely the sharpest weapon to break through Vincent's psychological defenses.
What Chu Tianjiao meant was that although the "God" had promised to resurrect your leader, how did you know that the resurrected Xi Te La was still Xi Te La himself? Maybe he was just an empty shell resurrected by Xi Te La's body, but the will of the "God" was injected into his brain.
"At first, Vincent didn't understand what I meant. He looked at me and sneered a few times. Just as he was about to mock me, I suddenly noticed that his body shook violently." Chu Tianjiao said, "Then his eyes changed. From the initial sarcasm, indifference and arrogance, he became confused, suspicious, and finally filled with deep fear."
"I realized that Vincent also understood what I meant, so I took advantage of the situation to attack him, or to be more accurate, I took advantage of the situation to attack him." Chu Tianjiao said, "I asked Vincent, since his leader is the greatest and most powerful person in the world, why did 'God' resurrect him? Would 'God' watch others become the leader of the new world? Watch others shake his position? And all this just because of a promise he made to you?"
"Every time I asked a question, Vincent's body shook more and more, and finally his whole body was shaking. He took a few steps back, holding his head with both hands, and his fingers inserted into the edge of the mask. He looked sad and struggling." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent shouted some unclear words. He said no, no, 'God' is great, the Führer is also great, they are not enemies, the Führer is the new world, the leader, 'God' is not the leader, 'God' is everything..."
"The old guy's spirit is about to collapse." Lu Mingfei said.
"Yes, Vincent looked like he was on the verge of a mental breakdown, so I continued to question him, raising my voice." Chu Tianjiao said, "I said, if 'God' wants to resurrect such a great man, doesn't it require you to pay a corresponding price? Everything in this world is an equal exchange. Why did 'God' put a mask on you? Don't you know that he has interfered with your thoughts? Let's take a step back. If 'God' did resurrect your leader, and then he put the same mask on your leader? Is that person still the original Xi Te La? Or should we call him a puppet of 'God'? You said that 'God' is omnipotent, how do you know that 'God' will not turn Xi Te La into his vassal? After all, your leader was such a great man when he was alive!"
Lu Mingfei and the others showed admiration and sympathy on their faces. Admiration was for the swiftness and viciousness of Chu Tianjiao's series of psychological attacks, while sympathy was for Vincent... After being hit by such a combination of punches, the old guy's heart must have been broken.
"Vincent let out an unprecedented roar from under his mask, like a trapped beast that was completely enraged. He swayed from side to side, sometimes falling to the ground and crying loudly, and sometimes twisting his body and crawling from the ground, laughing crazily." Chu Tianjiao said, "My physical strength was almost at its limit at this time. I cancelled 'Time Zero', and the crew members resumed their actions. When they saw Vincent, who looked like a madman, they all surrounded him, but I shouted at them loudly and told them not to get close to Vincent. Sasha also came to my side and asked me in a low voice what was going on."
"I was just about to tell Sasha about Vincent's experience when a voice suddenly floated past my ears." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "It was a laugh, with a mixture of sarcasm and contempt, just like the voice I heard after falling into the water and before entering the Nibelungen. A white human figure instantly flashed through my mind."
"The human figure in the middle of the 'Isle of Death'?" Caesar asked, "Is that the 'God'?"
"It was him. I asked Sasha if she heard the laughter. Sasha shook her head. I looked at the other crew members, but they didn't react... but one person heard it." Chu Tianjiao said, "When the laughter appeared, Vincent, who had been struggling, suddenly calmed down. He slowly stood up. There was a crack on the mask on his face. He looked at me with cold eyes under the mask."
"At this point, no matter how I tried to provoke the 'God' and Xi Te La, it was useless. I realized that the body had been completely controlled by the 'God'." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent attacked quickly, no longer in the beast-like posture as before, but moving straight forward like a puppet."
"Has he lost his self-awareness now?" Chu Tianjiao asked.
"I don't know, but I don't see any emotion in his eyes." Chu Tianjiao said, "It was not difficult for me to dodge Vincent's attack, but this time his target was not me, but Sasha next to me. After I dodged, I realized that Vincent passed by Sasha. I could see blood and a black shadow in the air. That was Sasha's right arm."
Everyone in the room's expression changed.
"Sasha's instinct for survival allowed him to dodge, but he lost an arm forever. When Vincent attacked again, I was already in front of Sasha. I blocked his attack, and he passed by me again." Chu Tianjiao said, "Then he attacked the crew members again. Some of them stood there in shock, while others fled in all directions, like a herd of frightened deer."
"I woke up the crew with my loudest voice and told them that this guy was no longer the captain they knew. He had become a puppet of the enemy. If they didn't want to be defeated, they should pick up their weapons and fight back," said Chu Tianjiao. "Sasha also covered the broken end of his arm and yelled beside me. He said they were allowed to shoot. That guy was no longer the captain. No mercy."
"The crew members reacted and raised their weapons towards Vincent, but ordinary people's bullets and knives were no longer a threat to him. He charged into the crowd like a jackal attacking a herd of deer." Chu Tianjiao said, "I asked Sasha if he could still move. He tightened the clothes around his broken arm and nodded at me. Although the severe pain had made him sweat profusely, he still followed me and rushed into the crowd."
"What a tenacious Russian man." Lu Mingfei exclaimed.
"A crew member died at Sasha's feet." Chu Tianjiao said, "He picked up the gun that the man had dropped with one hand and shot in the direction of Vincent."
Chapter 1091 The Secret of “God”
"Sasha is really the most courageous Russian I have ever seen. While shooting at me, Vincent, he directed the other crew members to form a circle around Vincent with a barrage of bullets." Chu Tianjiao said, "At the same time, Sasha asked me in a low voice if I could still use my ability to slow down time. His voice was trembling, probably because of the pain in his shoulder and the excessive blood loss. His face was also very pale, but his eyes were firm, revealing a kind of determination that 'it doesn't matter if I lose my life here.'"
"My physical strength has been almost exhausted, and I can probably use Time Zero once more." Chu Tianjiao whispered, "At that time, I thought, since Sasha has spoken, I will bet my chance on this last Time Zero and Sasha's determination."
"The crew fired at Vincent, and Vincent's figure shuttled through the curtain of bullets. At the same time, I also released the field of 'Time Zero', and I rushed towards Vincent with all my strength." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sure enough, this time Vincent was still not affected by 'Time Zero'..."
"Wait a minute." Caesar suddenly interrupted Chu Tianjiao. He frowned and asked, "Since you know that Vincent will not be affected by 'Time Zero', why do you still want to release the Word Spirit? Isn't this just a waste of energy?"
"No, Dad's purpose of releasing 'Time Zero' should not be to kill Vincent." Chu Zihang glanced at Chu Tianjiao and said, "Is it to pass through the barrage?"
"Yes, Sasha's command ability is very strong, and the crew members' execution ability is also very strong. They are comrades who have worked together for many years and they work very well together." Chu Tianjiao nodded and said, "Although the bullets cannot pose a threat to Vincent, they can block his actions in a short period of time. Vincent is surrounded by layers of dense barrages of firepower on all sides. To perfectly avoid this barrage, I must rely on the power of 'Time Zero'."
"I reached Vincent as fast as I could. When he turned his head to look at me, I had already rushed in front of him. Vincent tried to fight back, but I collided with him and we rolled out together." Chu Tianjiao said, "At the same time, I could no longer maintain the 'Time Zero' field. Vincent and I rolled on the ground. Countless bullets grazed our bodies and ears. Some scratched my skin, and some tore his uniform."
"Vincent struggled frantically, and I held him tightly. I heard Sasha yelling, 'Hold the captain down!' All the crew members rushed over, using all their strength and weight to hold Vincent down. I was briefly freed." Chu Tianjiao said, "I aimed at the mask on Vincent's face, raised Sasha's hunting knife high, roared, and used all my remaining strength to chop hard at the crack on Vincent's mask."
“A shattering sound was heard, and the mask cracked. The cracks spread rapidly on the mask like a spider web.” Chu Tianjiao said, “The hardness of the mask was far beyond my imagination. The power of my knife could even directly break a person’s skull, but it only made the cracks bigger when I hit the mask. The reaction force from the knife made my palm hurt.”
When Chu Tianjiao said this, Lu Mingfei subconsciously touched his forehead with his hand.
If the mask on Vincent's face was made of the same material as the mask Chu Tianjiao had worn before, then it would be quite hard... But in the end, Lu Mingfei used his head to crack the mask. Maybe this is what it means to be "stubborn", Lu Mingfei thought.
"After the mask cracked, Vincent's movements also stopped. His strength to struggle became weaker and weaker, and finally he came to a standstill." Chu Tianjiao said, "The silver mask cracked in two, and the green onion slipped off Vincent's face, revealing the face under the mask... It was a young and handsome face."
"Young and handsome face?" Lu Mingfei frowned and said, "Is Vincent really rejuvenated?"
"That face is indeed that of Vincent when he was young. I've seen it in his room, and it appears in several photos on his bookshelf." Chu Tianjiao said, "The crew members who gathered around him obviously recognized him. Everyone gasped in surprise, wondering how their old captain suddenly turned into a handsome young man."
"Vincent... or the younger version of Vincent, his eyes were wide open, I don't know if he was looking at me or at the sky, his pupils were still golden, his eyes were confused and dull, like a person who had suffered a major blow." Chu Tianjiao said, "Some crew members asked him questions but he didn't respond, and he ignored them when they called his name, it was as if when the mask was shattered by me, Vincent's soul was also taken away."
"Until that familiar voice appeared in my ears again." Chu Tianjiao paused, then continued, "That mocking and contemptuous laugh."
"Has that 'God' come to you again?" Caesar asked.
"No, this time he came after all of us. This time it wasn't just me, nor was it just Vincent. Sasha and all the crew members heard the sound, and they looked at each other with daze and fear in their eyes." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was the first to notice Vincent's abnormality. Vincent made a panting sound that was almost like a moan. The sound was low and hoarse, not at all like his young and charming voice when he put on the mask."
"Even stranger changes occurred to Vincent. His originally young and smooth face became old and exhausted at a speed visible to the naked eye. Wrinkles appeared one by one from his skin. At the same time, Vincent's golden pupils also quickly dimmed, and his eye sockets were sunken like when I first saw him." Chu Tianjiao said, "No, they were even more sunken than then. His black hair fell out quickly until all his hair fell out. The hair that fell to the ground was gray and white, exactly the same color as the plants on this island."
After hearing Chu Tianjiao's description, Lu Mingfei and the others widened their eyes. The changes that occurred in Vincent were too strange. If "Time Zero" slowed down time, then the flow of time in Vincent's body was accelerated... and it was accelerated by tens of millions of times!
A person's vitality is suddenly drained away. This feeling, which only appears in fantasy novels, has been materialized.
"All the crew members were frightened and couldn't help but take a few steps back away from Vincent. I was the only one who noticed the deep fear in Vincent's dim pupils." Chu Tianjiao said, "It's not the fear of death. Vincent is an extremely paranoid guy. This kind of guy is not that afraid of death. What can make him so afraid must be something beyond death."
"Something beyond death?"
Everyone in the room chewed over this sentence, finding it hard to imagine that there was such an abstract thing in the world.
"Yes, regret, remorse and losing important people... aren't they all more terrifying than death?" Lu Mingfei suddenly spoke up, and he whispered, "For Vincent, the hope of resurrecting the Führer has been completely cut off, which is probably what he fears the most. If there is anyone in the world who can give him such deep despair... isn't it the omnipotent 'God' who can grant others death and eternal life?"
“At that time, Vincent’s haggard face was full of fear, and his toothless lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was too old and too weak.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Fortunately, Sasha yelled and asked all the crew members to keep quiet. I put my ear to Vincent’s mouth and listened.”
“‘He is coming’, ‘He is coming’… Vincent said this,” Chu Tianjiao said. “Vincent’s voice was extremely weak and he couldn’t help but tremble, but I could hear the fear in his words. He was more uneasy than a gambler who was in debt, as if some great terror would find him at any time.”
"I leaned close to Vincent's ear and asked him what was coming, was it 'God'?" Chu Tianjiao said, "But Vincent just kept repeating the same words, 'He is coming', 'He is coming'... like a mentally ill patient who was scared crazy."
"This is not a solution. Vincent doesn't look good. He is getting older and older, even older than when I first saw him in his room. He looks like he could die at any time. If what he said means that 'God' is really coming, we don't have much time left." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent is my only way to understand 'God'. Before he really dies, I want to get some information about 'God' and this Nibelungen from him."
“But no matter how I scolded or insulted Vincent, he didn’t react. He was already frightened by the ‘god’, and the fear it gave him completely destroyed his spirit.” Chu Tianjiao said, “Just when I was at my wit’s end, I saw the swastika on Vincent’s shoulder badge, and a name suddenly popped up in my mind… a name that I had mentioned to Vincent many times, and it always worked wonders every time.”
"It's very rare." Chu Zihang said.
"Yes, I grabbed Vincent by the collar and almost yelled at him, 'Are you going to give in to God just like that? Are you going to let your leader die forever?'" Chu Tianjiao said, "After hearing these two sentences, a little light of hope finally emerged in Vincent's dark eyes, and his trembling body and lips gradually stopped. I knew my words worked, and after hearing the leader's name, Vincent finally broke free from the fear brought to him by God."
Xite La is really a panacea. At least for Vincent, this name is both an antidote and a poison. It can make him sober, but it can also kill him.
"I stared into Vincent's eyes and said in a sincere but unyielding tone, 'Tell me everything you know about God and this world, and I will find a way to resurrect your leader for you.'" Chu Tianjiao said, "Hearing what I said, Vincent's eyes fell on me. There was doubt and confusion in his eyes. I understood what he meant. He thought I didn't have the ability. But I told Vincent that whether I could do it or not was another matter, but I would definitely find a way. My abilities were limited, but I was definitely more reliable than things like God. Although I am not omnipotent, at least I keep my word."
"After being stunned for a moment, Vincent nodded slightly. Although his movement was very slight, I knew he accepted my proposal because he had no choice. He had been abandoned by God, and I was the only one who had the chance to fulfill his wish of resurrecting his leader." Chu Tianjiao said, "I put my ear close to Vincent's ear again. His voice became weaker, but this time I understood what he said. He no longer repeated vague words, but complete sentences. Vincent said that the guy he met was not God at all, but a devil!"
"Devil?" Hearing this word, Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.
In his impression, there is only one guy who can be called the devil... Speaking of this, it seems that compared with the real "God", the devil is omnipotent. Isn't that guy like that?
"Vincent said that the devil he met was wearing a white robe and a shroud wrapped around his body. The only exposed eyes were a pair of golden eyes like the sun. The guy stood in the center of the island, surrounded by black coffins. Some of those coffins were closed, and some were open, revealing the corpses of creatures he had never seen before." Chu Tianjiao paused, "Vincent said that if he really had to describe that creature, he thought it was probably the mythical... dragon!"
Everyone in the room widened their eyes. In the coffins surrounding the white figure, there were actually a pile of... dragon corpses?
"Vincent said he didn't see the white figure move or speak, but a voice floated into his ears. The person asked Vincent if he was looking for 'eternal life'. Vincent prostrated himself in front of the white figure and prayed to him to resurrect his leader." Chu Tianjiao said, "The white figure stretched out his hand wrapped in shrouds, took out a mask from his robe, handed it to Vincent, and said that if he put on the mask and became his servant, everything he wanted would come true. So Vincent put on the mask without hesitation."
"So it's that simple?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused. "The old man was brainwashed so easily?"
"Vincent knows more, but it's only after he puts on the mask. Vincent said that after he puts on the mask, countless information and thoughts enter his brain at the same time." Chu Tianjiao said, "To describe it, it feels like a computer being connected to a large amount of data."
"It sounds like some kind of spiritual power, but it's released through the mask." Lu Mingfei nodded and said, "It sounds like this 'god' is really capable."
"Vincent said that the moment he put on the mask, his consciousness was like being locked in an invisible cage," said Chu Tianjiao.
Chapter 1092 Escape for life
"So the 'god' mind took over his body?" Caesar asked.
"To be precise, it should be that the thoughts of 'God' were forcibly instilled into his consciousness." Chu Tianjiao said, "It feels like a layer of shackles has been put on the brain. Vincent still retains his own personality, but he must act according to the instructions of 'God'."
"The human brain is a very complex machine. It usually operates based on a certain behavior pattern. If Vincent's brain is an old machine, the mask is equivalent to inserting a USB flash drive into the machine and injecting a brand new system into the machine." Chu Zihang whispered, "But if you force it to do so, there will always be conflicts between the new system and the old system, just like two completely unfamiliar programs. The probability of being completely compatible is infinitely close to zero. If Vincent is forced to act according to the will of God, once something conflicts with his original idea, the more powerful program will overwrite the other program, but if the original program is strong enough, the two will conflict and contradict each other. This is why Vincent struggles every time you mention Xi Te La, and is then suppressed by the will of God."
"As an ordinary person without bloodline, it is amazing that Vincent can achieve this." Lu Mingfei said.
"Vincent said that he now understands that there is no so-called 'God' in this world, only the devil. The devil is omnipotent, but if you want the devil to do something for you, you have to pay a price... maybe a price you can't afford at all." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that he knows that the devil will not resurrect his leader. I am right. Even if that person is resurrected, he is no longer the leader, but a puppet with the body of the leader. The devil is just using him... No, he is actually of no use to the devil. The devil is just teasing him, just like humans teasing ants."
“This Vincent… is quite self-aware.” Lu Mingfei said this with a complicated expression.
At first, Lu Mingfei, like everyone else in the room, thought that Vincent was a sinister and cunning old man, and that he had been brainwashed by the villain leader's words. He was a paranoid and disgusting guy.
But when Vincent said this, Lu Mingfei felt a little sad for some reason... Maybe this is what they mean by "there must be something hateful about pitiful people."
"After I shattered the mask, Vincent's consciousness was liberated. He realized everything, so his expression was so confused and helpless, like a sad child." Chu Tianjiao paused, "Vincent was not sad because he was going to die soon, he was sad because he thought he found a way to resurrect the Führer, but in the end it was just a ridiculous scam. He felt that he had let the Führer down, and his faith collapsed. It was so cruel, so helpless, and so sad."
"I asked Vincent if he knew anything else about 'God' and this place. I told Vincent that the more he knew, the more likely it would be for me to escape from this place. Only by escaping alive can I help him find a way to resurrect his leader. If all of us die here, his beliefs and his ambitions will be buried here together." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent glanced at me and gave me a bitter and desperate smile. What Vincent said next was completely beyond my expectations. He said he knew that I didn't actually want to help him resurrect his leader."
"I said I would help you. I promised you I would do it." Chu Tianjiao said, "But Vincent shook his head. He said that even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. His leader was dead. He died in the Antarctic base in 1985. The dead cannot be resurrected. The person who comes back to life is not the same person... When Vincent said these words, his eyes were empty and lifeless, like a man who has lost everything."
Everyone had complicated expressions. Vincent had insisted all his life to resurrect his leader, but it was impossible for his leader to be resurrected. The moment he knew the truth, his will collapsed completely... The collapse of a person's faith is like having his soul sucked out, especially for a paranoid and crazy guy like Vincent. His will to resurrect Xital was so strong, and he must be so heartbroken at this moment.
"I admit that I was a little anxious. I thought Vincent would give up hope. Just when I was thinking about how to persuade him, Vincent suddenly spoke again. He took the initiative to say that he was willing to tell me everything he knew last time." Chu Tianjiao said, "I was surprised because I didn't know why Vincent wanted to do this. After all, he was dying and his world collapsed. He also knew that I couldn't help him revive his leader, but Vincent told me that he had no regrets about dying here, and he would just consider it as repaying his debt."
"Vincent said he did a lot of bad things in his life, whether it was when he was young during the internal pawns or when he was old and came to the 'Yamal'. In order to resurrect the Führer, he killed people, both directly and indirectly. He broke the law and caused many people to lose their families." Chu Tianjiao said, "Vincent said that he felt that I was not a bad person, and neither were his crew members. We didn't need to die here. Bad people go to hell after they die, but innocent people should not die at the hands of the devil."
"Vincent told me the password to his safe and the money he had in a bank in Zurich. He hoped I could share it with the families of his crew members if we could get out alive." Chu Tianjiao said, "Then Vincent told me that after he put on the mask given by the white figure, what entered his mind was not only countless instructions and consciousness, but also some secrets about this place."
"Vincent said that the tree in the center of this island is the World Tree. His first sentence scared me because according to legend, the World Tree has been bitten by the Black King. How could it be in the Nibelungen?" Chu Tianjiao said, "Although this tree is very tall, unprecedentedly tall, the real World Tree should be more shocking than it. Even the Dragon King is nothing compared to it. Only the most ancient emperor can compete with it."
"Vincent said that in the mind of 'God', this tree is just a replica of the real World Tree. This tree was created by 'God', and 'God' hopes that it can one day replicate the glory of the real World Tree." Vincent said, "But this world is full of death. Any creature that stays in this world for too long will naturally age and decay. To feed such a big tree, a constant supply of nutrients is needed."
"Nutrients?" Caesar frowned slightly. "That's why the animals and plants on this island are grayish-white. They are not infected by the breath of death, but their vitality is all used as nutrients to supply the tree."
"And those 'cocoons'." Lu Mingfei whispered, "Uncle Chu said that those 'cocoons' can move, and the things inside are alive. Those should also be important nutrients."
I don’t know what’s inside those “cocoons”, but Lu Mingfei always feels that it is related to dragons.
"Yes, I subconsciously looked at those 'cocoons'. Vincent noticed my gaze and told me that they were all former subordinates of 'God'. Because they made mistakes or lost their functions, 'God' used them as nutrients for the World Tree." Chu Tianjiao said, "'God' gave them 'eternal life'. Their blood continuously supplied the tree, so it grew so huge and even developed wisdom."
"Vincent also said that there is more than one such island. At the center of each island is a huge tree. The entire island is a petri dish for trees." Chu Tianjiao said, "In the end, other trees will also become nutrients for a certain tree. This is a human-intervention 'survival of the fittest'."
"It sounds like raising a Gu." Nono commented.
"That's why Vincent is so desperate, because he knows that 'eternal life' is actually a curse." Chu Zihang said, "For those guys who serve as raw materials for nourishment, 'eternal life' means eternal torture."
At this point, the people in the room already had a general understanding of this Nibelungen. This is a world filled with the breath of death, everything is dead and desolate, time does not pass, there is no sun, moon, stars, no wind, rain, thunder and lightning, only cold water and a few lonely islands. Some islands only have strange rocks with the coordinates of several other Nibelungen recorded on them, and some islands have strange creatures and towering trees, like huge Gu pots... and the island in the middle, the strange white figure who calls himself "God", his real identity is probably a dragon king.
"'God'... World Tree... Nibelungen of Death..." Lu Mingfei murmured these words in a low voice, and a certain name flashed through his mind.
"Vincent said that the only exit of this world is hidden beside 'God'. This is all he knows. After saying this, his eyes were dazed and confused. His body had aged to the extreme, like a withered skeleton, and a strong smell of death lingered around him." Chu Tianjiao said, "All the crew members gathered around. They looked at the dying Vincent with complicated eyes. They were definitely not very loyal to this captain. It was probably the nature of working for others for money. Maybe some people disliked Vincent at first and thought he was treacherous and a charlatan, but people are emotional creatures. After living together for so many years, watching the death of an old friend will always give rise to a kind of sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox being abandoned."
"I told Sasha what Vincent told me. I'm not too interested in Vincent's wealth and money. My goal from the beginning has been the secrets of the dragon race." Chu Tianjiao said, "There must be more secrets about Nibelungen that I don't know than those that I do, but I also understand that our operation should end here. The intelligence I have obtained is enough for me to spend a long time digesting. The most important thing now is how to get out of Nibelungen."
