Please stop persecuting your students!

In other words, he is completely able to control all the existing Arus in the entire Netherworld in an instant and force them to release the ether in their bodies. For an unscientific behemoth like Arus, the ether in its body is equivalent to its skeleton, just like the famous lamb system (λ-driver) carried by the equally unscientific giant robot 'Behemoth' in the next door Full Metal, which supports the body system through the power converted from mental power. Once the system is terminated, the body joints that lose support will not be able to bear their own weight and will collapse... Arus suffered the same fate after losing the ether.

In other words, he already has the power to destroy the entire underworld in an instant...but he won't do it.

He hated humans and all the actions caused by human activities - including such foolish things as war. At the same time, he would not take the initiative to destroy the messenger of God. The amplification tower was just an additional guarantee for him to prevent some jumping clowns from jumping off the wall.

However, the current situation left him a little confused.

"Appeared...and disappeared again...why?"

Looking down at the gray-white leaden clouds under Arcadia in the moonlight, the mastermind who had been playing with the entire underworld for five hundred years was full of confusion.

He could never figure out why Fang Le Noren's perception of him kept jumping back and forth.

Ordinary Blades and Blade Masters can sense each other's coordinates across the Netherworld. As the main controller of the Blade Master, his ability in this regard will be even stronger... However, the fact is that he has lost the ability to sense his own Blades several times in a row.

Not only that, according to intelligence reports, his good friend Prince Sieg has not been seen since he went to conquer the Holy Grail two days ago, and he is probably kneeling in a corner of Gula... He can even kill Sieg easily, so can he say that he is worthy of the Holy Grail that he has always wanted?

"The location that appeared last...Spebia?"

The blue fingers tapped the parapet made of white stones. McPenny became more and more curious about how this group of people managed to escape from Gula Shen to Spebbia without anyone noticing... and why did they go to Spebbia?

Did they hijack a spaceship? Or do they have some unknown means of crossing the sea of ​​clouds, just like the remnants of Ira? Or... did someone in Gula provide them with help?

He could even do such a ridiculous thing as severing the connection between the Blade and its Blade Master. In McPenny's mind, the threat level of this new Blade Master of the Holy Grail and his friends had risen infinitely. If it weren't for his ability that made it difficult to accurately locate the Blade hidden in the ether of Arus, he would even want to overturn the table and control the Holy Grail of Light to self-destruct, thus killing the danger in the cradle and putting an end to it once and for all. Unfortunately, he couldn't do it.

We can only take the normal route first and send people to Spebia for negotiation... Well, considering that someone may be secretly violating the instructions of the Holy See, we cannot negotiate directly with the Holy Grail group. We can only send people to investigate secretly as usual to see if we can catch the group...

"Is this all we can do for now..."

McPenny sighed quietly. For a scheming person like him, the feeling of being out of control was too uncomfortable.

Fortunately, with the Amplification Tower, he is invincible in the Netherworld. In this world where Blades and small Arus are the main combat force, he is like wearing an invincible armor specifically designed to defend against Blades and Arus. Even the Holy Grail of Heaven and the Cannibals can't hurt him.

......

At the same time, a handsome guy wrapped in green spiritual mist was holding a large box of plastic bombs produced in supermarkets and modified by Chiron, Tiger, and Zach, wandering in one of the white towers. Humming a familiar tune, he casually pasted a large piece of the building's high corner and a blind spot, stuffed a rune stone in it, looked in a certain direction as if he had noticed something, and then swaggered past the patrolling Vatican soldiers and continued to paste the wall.

Indestructible armor? A blade that's better than anyone else's?

Ah!

I told you to be indestructible! I told you to be a minotaur! Minotaur, die to me!

Volume 618 Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Is this a fight caused by fear? (k)

The spiritual power rolled, accurately taking out the dark gray colloids that seemed to be mixed with gold sand and sequins from the box. He tore off the plastic film on the surface and carefully pasted it on the shadow of the inner wall of the white tower. Another spiritual tentacle rolled up a thumb-sized stone and slowly pressed it into the egg-sized "chewing gum" on the wall.

The mass-produced magic stone made by Chiron after he endowed himself with high-level magic and prop making is a beggar's version of the gem magic used by a young lady who is too poor to buy gems, but the craftsmanship involved is enough to make modern magicians beat their brains out.

After all, it was the technology of the Age of Gods. Modern magicians even needed to use the human body to refine and transform their lives to create magic crystals. For the Heroic Spirits of that era, it was just a toy that could be easily made. The same was true for this stone that could be found everywhere. It had a built-in spell that could absorb a small amount of ether (magic power) in the atmosphere to operate. This world did have the 'ether' that the Heroic Spirits needed. It was unknown whether it existed innately or appeared later like the world that Saki brought Nia to. Then there was a concealment spell that imitated the breath-blocking properties, and... a simple magic that would react to specific magic power and release an electric current of a specific amplitude within a certain range.

In other words, this is a detonator made using the technology of the Age of Gods.

This ball of clay, which has been rolled into an egg-sized mass in advance, is the body of the plastic bomb. After the contents have been adjusted and enchanted, a small ball can cause an explosion equivalent to 40 kilograms of TNT - roughly equal to the explosive power of a conventional anti-tank mine.

There are nearly a hundred of these things stuffed into a box, occupying the space of three entire walls in Saki's alien space... They are all prepared by Saki for McPenny!

Invert the pyramid and broadcast it again.

Feel the pain of Apemon and Nanomon.jpg

“The last one.”

Looking at the last standing white tower in front of him, Saki wiped the non-existent sweat from his head and floated straight in. Relying on spiritual power to deal with this kind of enemy who did not have the instinct like a beast could be called a dimensionality reduction attack. No one could detect his whereabouts, and all his time was spent on laying mines.

Ten minutes on the road, three hours to reload, that's what he was talking about. Flying at full speed from Invidia to Arcadia took only half an hour, but it took more than six times that much time just to bury the 'eight eggs' in the first three amplification towers, from dusk to night.

It is hard to imagine how crooked the technology tree of this world is. It is understandable that Gula built a huge residential area close to the cliff. In ancient times, there were not many houses built on cliffs, but there were some. As a result, architecture in Spebbia and Arcadia has seen a leap in growth.

One of them built a suspended imperial city with only a "road" of unknown material with more than four lanes as a support, and the other built a stepped holy city hundreds of meters high, and piled a hundred-meter-high amplification tower on the basis of the holy city.

The underworld is so small, who knows where they got so many building materials from, and...

He pressed the last piece of white crystal, which was unique in color, together with a large piece of clay, on the inside of the spire of the amplification tower. After confirming that the blocking spell was activated, he floated to the top of the tower and overlooked the holy city.

Arus of the Arcadian genealogy has a characteristic: he is a flying dragon from top to bottom, and his body is covered with colorful light like glass. This holy city also uses similar cold-colored lighting, which gives a completely different feeling from daytime.

However, it is still a bit regrettable that the background music of Xenoblade Chronicles, which was once talked about, fits the scene perfectly and can make up for the lack of picture quality to a great extent, can no longer be heard, so that Saki can only compose the music himself, humming the melodious and gentle tune.

“Our eternal land is keeping us in warmembrace”

“Some must carry on God's will, oh (Apostles chosen by God)”

A hymn-like tune rang out from Saki's pitch-perfect throat, but was confined to a space less than two meters away from the body by the expanded soundproofing technique.

The brain expansion brought about by the changes is not just the benefit of multi-threading and increased reaction speed. Any operation involving the "brain" has been significantly enhanced, memory being one of them.

Because of this, Saki was able to hum the song, and then through memory, reproduce the lyrics and music in a simulated space, as if the magnificent background music and the harmony were almost identical to the original song.

We Are the Chosen Ones

We are the chosen ones... To put it more faithfully and elegantly, it is - 'We are the chosen ones', which seems to be a portrayal of the life and will of McPenny. Different from the grand morning version background music, it is like an alternative lullaby, a hymn that can bring peace to people's soul. Arcadia's night BGM fits perfectly with this holy city which is silent and silent in the cold light.

"It sounds great~ Can the teacher sing?"

'A little bit.'

Staying in the different space, next to the crack that Sakichi had left specially, the girl's thoughts quickly intersected with Sakichi's. Then she closed her eyes, trying to empty her mind as much as possible, listening to the soft and gentle melody. With the thoughts transmitted from Sakichi, a holy city with a bright appearance emerged in her eyes.

“And some must face the dark, it's infather's wishes we live

Let us come together, we must never give up"

The sacred city, the pure white city that shines brightly on the surface, has a sacredness that reaches such a level in the hymns that were originally created for it that even the two who are not interested in it cannot help but lower their heads and gaze at it quietly.

However, just as I thought in this passage, this is just the bright surface, and there is no dirt inside. Instead, there are extremely deep and dark things hidden under the holy skin. This darkness has been hidden for a long time under the hypocrisy of that man and the efforts of a certain cute saint, and now it has gradually begun to reveal its ugly true self.

It is only a matter of time before the hypocritical facade is torn apart and the entire Netherworld is dragged into the war. This is also the reason why he is here now.

“Let those people see, guide the ones who cannot hear

Voices guide us through, words from above, weare the chosen ones (it is the mission of the chosen ones, it is God's will)"

How many people would die? Not to mention those who didn't have time to escape during the Battle of Arus, how many people would die after the four amplification towers exploded just because he was more than ten kilometers away?

Although he knew that it was not right to be soft-hearted and worry about those strangers from another world, leaving it alone and allowing McPenny to use these four large antennas to control other Arus would only lead to more deaths...but he couldn't help but think more.

Does someone have to die? Of course they have to. McPenny's paranoia can no longer be reversed by simple rash words. So in this case, is what he is doing now really a way to "solve the problem with the least casualties"? Is there a more efficient way with fewer casualties?

...have!

The easiest way is to get rid of McPenny in advance.

Although this would still cause some chaos in the Netherworld, as long as the chief culprit was killed, many problems could be solved to a certain extent, which was also Saki's original plan. In addition, laying mines in the amplification tower was a backup plan in case the forced killing failed.

“Our path we chose is cold and the dark has no place to dream”

Must we go on? Will we ever prevail and smile in peace?..."

The restraints on both sides of a 'bracket' disguised as a horizontal stabilizer hanging behind the floating wing were untied, and the spiritual power rolled it up and fell into the hands of Saki, whose solemn expression changed from humming to singing. The three sets of limiters on the left and right sides popped up and down, and the more than two-meter-long, angular gun body opened with a click, revealing the electric light bursting inside, the gradually lit runes, and the rifling shining under the runes. The muzzle flashing with the glory of death was pointed at a certain place in the highest tower of the cathedral.

McPenny's bedroom.

With the convenience of the spiritual power dimensionality reduction attack level, he had confirmed in advance that McPenny was asleep before taking action. The electromagnetic gun's sight also captured the heat source reaction. Although it was unethical, it was indeed the safest way.

The hymn was still going on, an ethereal chant that only the two of them could hear, accompanied by the tactical eyepiece. The young man slung the electromagnetic gun across his waist with one hand, his finger on the trigger, and turned sideways towards the tower where the target was. After a brief two seconds, the electric light accumulated, and the bluish-white electric current formed three leaping arc rings on both sides of the gun body, avoiding the wind, and a string of acceleration runes condensed into a ring with the gun head.

"Our eternal land is keeping us in warmembrace..."

...Before I fire, there is one thing I must make clear.

This was not a so-called 'just' attack.

He was an outsider, and as an outsider to the Netherworld, he had no right to take revenge on MacPenny for what he had done over the past few hundred years. This was what the Netherworld people and Ira's group should do. The group of church soldiers who had tried to capture Nia had been buried in the sea of ​​clouds, and there was no hatred between him and MacPenny. All he had was his one-sided understanding of him.

Therefore, unlike the previous two times when he was forced to "kill" for self-protection, this time his action was not based on "legitimacy", and he had no legitimacy. His starting point was fear.

He was afraid of the war that McPenny would start, which would harm countless people; he was afraid of the power that McPenny had to control his students; he was afraid that he would hurt his students and himself.

It is not justified, nor is it forced by others, nor is it for the sake of others. There are no high-sounding reasons or excuses for shirking responsibility.

Simply out of fear and for his own sake, he will unilaterally commit violence!

Just like the lyrics written for you...

“We’re the chosen ones from up above the holy sky”

As the chosen one, sleep forever on the back of the eternal earth (Arus) that you love!

McPenny!

With a light tap of the trigger, the red lightning of death penetrated the circular electric light, magic, and the figure in the center of the crosshairs, which was emitting considerable heat. As the saying goes, a strong force can make bricks fly. The one-kilogram iron block penetrated the white tower at the terrifying speed of Mach 15. The scorching electric light instantly evaporated the free matter in the atmosphere on the track and hit the bull's eye! The white tower was like being bitten by an unknown monster. A large piece of space near the top of the tower was directly emptied, and the red-burned broken bricks and stones flew everywhere. Along with the bursting electric light, it lit up the night view of the holy city.

The Vatican soldier on night watch raised his head following the roar, then fell into a daze, allowing the hot stones to hit his visor. His consciousness, which had been stagnant for a while, suddenly came back to his senses, and he let out the most shrill and loud howl in his life:

“Enemy attack——————!!!”

“The Holy See was assassinated——————————!”

Zheng!

The sword is out of its sheath!

The pitch-black machete, which had not been used for quite a long time, fell into Saki's hands. The electromagnetic cannon was hung on the floating wing again, and its built-in small permanent steam conductive circuit replaced the long-used solar cell to power it. The anti-gravity system pushed the body slowly into the air.

The opponent is McPenny, who has been secretly developing for five hundred years using the authority of the Master Blade Master, and has also devoured Kasumi's core crystal to become a Blade Eater, the second to last boss of the Netherworld! God knows what other unknown means he has. Facing such an enemy, since we have decided to take action, then...

If they are alive, I must see them; if they are dead, I must see their bodies! If they are not dead with my own eyes, I must kill them all!

boom!

Spiritual power exploded behind him, and the roar of the explosion was suppressed by the soundproof barrier on the spot. The young man holding the flashing lightning had disappeared, carrying a wave of air several times the size of his body, and pierced into the ruins of the Pope's residence! The air wave swept away the smoke and dust, and a blue-gray "giant cocoon" fell into the eyes.

It was not a cocoon or an egg, but a product similar to one or several blue-gray pythons entwined together. Its diameter was even larger than the waist of an adult male! The surface of the blue-gray smooth shell was evenly distributed with blue luminous jades the size of a human head, which was extremely strange.

McPenny's...Shokuhan form!

"Can't we defeat him with a sneak attack alone?!"

As expected of an old bastard who has lived for over 500 years, he couldn't even be dealt with by a sneak attack from a large-caliber electromagnetic cannon.

Then...

Before Saki landed, or rather, he had never thought about landing, the electromagnetic cannon fell into his hands again. A card was grabbed by an invisible big hand and pulled out of his pocket. The last missing spiritual power was input into it, and the card that had been accumulating energy since fifteen minutes ago suddenly glowed brightly.

Clow Cards - Time!

The assassination failed, so the forced killing began!

"【THE TIME】!"

Time - stop!

The special brass filter instantly enveloped the ruins, but the figure who kept his own color was not affected at all. He casually spread the remaining plastic bombs around his body, and then rushed to the top of the armored tentacles that wrapped him tightly. The textbook's tentacle shell was as strong as steel, and he held the electromagnetic gun in one hand and inserted the muzzle into the gap between the tentacles. The gun body opened up and down, forcibly stretching the gap, revealing the inhuman and extremely hideous face inside.

Lightning flashed inside the gun barrel!

......

Here I recommend "Our Eternal Land" (Arcadia daytime bgm) (female lead) and "We Are the Chosen Ones", which are very suitable for listening when you want to feel tranquility.

It is available on NetEase Cloud Music, but not VIP

Volume 619: Return to the Netherworld, the Day of Saving the World: Chapter Chapter : Can you, McPenny, use Infinite Blade System?

Zheng!

The crisp sound, like a blade being unsheathed or swords colliding, was transmitted along the bones to Saki's ears. The lightning splashed in the stagnant space, and in an instant it was dyed with a copper-yellow color.

At the same time, a wave that was invisible to the naked eye spread out, and the plastic bombs that were scattered around McPenny and had been stuffed with magic detonators quickly expanded in the stagnant world, turning into fragmented fireballs. As the wave dissipated, they solidified again and could not move.

After doing all this, Saki put away the electromagnetic cannon and chopped a few times with his backhand, but he could only produce a few sparks on the surface of those armored tentacles. After being strengthened by Chiron, the machete, which could be said to be as sharp as cutting through iron, directly made a few cuts, which made Saki's eyebrows twitch.

"You can't even cut it even though you have the Armor Breaking Rune?"

He used almost all the means he could use at the moment. There were only about three seconds left in the time stop, but he had nothing to do for a while. He could only pour two buckets of kerosene, throw out three death bullets worth 998 yuan, and then leave.

Three seconds later, the filter of imprisoned time converged back into the time card that had been recovered by Saki. With a deafening roar, a plastic bomb equivalent to one ton of TNT exploded! McPenny hadn't even recovered from the sudden attack before he was directly hit head-on by a Tomahawk missile with a high-explosive warhead and an electromagnetic cannon that hit him from both inside and outside. The blast swept the ruins and the incomplete tower top was blown away. The white tower located at the highest point of the entire holy city turned into a blazing, incomplete torch in the blink of an eye.

As for the real owner, he was swallowed up by the blast in an instant, and turned into a hideous fire man, symbolizing that he was hit by the instant death bullet. Black and red network patterns like an abstract nervous system flashed in the sea of ​​fire. Faintly, one could hear the inhuman roar and the sound of something shattering, which gradually faded away under the suppression of the continuous explosions.

——but fell into the hole created by the plastic bomb.

Although he looked very embarrassed as he was beaten, there was one thing that was beyond doubt -
