Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

"Leave now and you'll live for ten more seconds."

Ten seconds, very short.

In just ten seconds, even if Mars wanted to finally burst out and exchange lives with Bai Yu, he couldn't do it.

But ten seconds is also a long time.

It was enough for Mars to recall his long life in a short period of time.

He was originally a small prince, but as a mixed race he was discriminated against and never received any attention from the royal family. Instead, he was treated as a burden and abandoned in the cold palace. He didn't even have food. He could only rely on himself to catch some bugs and Birds satisfy their hunger.

His misfortune began in childhood, and when the small country was destroyed by the fall of Rome, he was also caught as a trophy. He then became a slave for nearly thirty years. He killed the nobles because he could not bear the humiliation, and then became a desperado and a fugitive. .

He spent his whole life wallowing in the quagmire of misfortune, but life failed to kill him. Instead, it made him stronger and stronger. Later, he became an apostle of the outer gods. From this moment on, his life took a turn, and everything changed. It became smoother and smoother, and he even got the opportunity to go to the Star Palace and become a servant of God.

And now, he was dying.

But he had no regrets about dying on this road.

When he became a desperado, he ran forward like crazy, and ran all the way until he was exhausted. He arrived at a desolate land where there was nothing but an extremely magnificent starry sky.

He embraced the stars in that wilderness and was given a lifelong mission.

Mars stretched out his hand as if from the wound on his chest, grasped the heart that was beating hard, and poured in the majestic elemental power.

Mouthing sounds in the mouth.

"Everything is dedicated to the Supreme Will!"

He blew himself up.

The violent elemental energy spreads.

Bai Yu dragged his weak body and ran back, opening a distance of half a street.

He turned around and looked at the arm tugging on his collar.

Scathach could easily pick him up across the space, just like a cat.

Bai Yu thought about it and asked: "Why are you here..."

He touched his pocket and discovered to his surprise that the stone previously engraved with runes had been broken into pieces.

Also, this thing is not made of hard material.

I took a forbidden spell, and the rune was placed in the pocket behind my butt, so it was naturally crushed directly.

Scathach said: "You are seriously injured. Come back here to recover first."

Bai Yu paused, shook his head and said: "The capital city in mid-winter is covered by the shadow world. The opponent must have other goals. Give me half an hour, and I can restore at least 70% of my combat power."

Before Scathach could answer, Bai Yu noticed something was wrong.

If the pseudo-sage chooses to self-destruct, the range of the explosion he creates is too small. Even Bai Yu himself, if he risks his life and does not choose to self-destruct, he can at least destroy all the buildings within a thirty-mile radius, which is no less than full power. Shinra Tianzheng.

Obviously, Mars' self-destruction was an illusion. It was not a self-destruction...or in other words, it was not intended to kill!

So what would be the goal?

Bai Yu's mind was racing, and he turned around and caught a glimpse of the space passage opened behind him, and immediately shouted: "Master, pull me in!"

When she heard Bai Yu's voice, Scathach had already made a move. She was about to pull Bai Yu back through the air, but she felt a sense of disconnection, like a machine that was running smoothly suddenly stopped and got stuck.

This must be caused by foreign objects inserted into the operating gears.

Who is meddling?

Scathach silently added some strength, intending to use brute force to break through the space and tear it apart.

But the next moment, I saw only a ray of light shining from the nine heavens. The streams of light were intertwined and the stars were bright. I don’t know how many starlights weaved and intertwined, passing through layers of dark clouds and breaking apart the entire atmosphere in the mid-winter sky.

The vortex of infinite starlight converges towards the center. Even the shadows everywhere dimmed under the swagger of the stars.

This macroscopic scene was reflected in Bai Yu's eyes.

He felt like a fish frozen in ice, unable to do anything except for the strange light shining in his dead eyes.

Just watching the starlight converge towards the ground, it appeared as an inverted triangle, like an inverted cone.

But the closer it is to the ground, the faster the starlight escapes, as if it is restricted by some kind of force.

When it arrived in front of Bai Yu, it was only the size of a fist.

And the starlight turned into the shape of a hand.

——My life is at an end!

Bai Yu thought it was over this time.

He couldn't avoid this distance.

And Scathach didn't respond. It wasn't that he didn't want to save him, but that he couldn't.

Those who can do this are definitely not the saint-level ones, but the monsters sitting in the starry sky...perhaps those who have achieved the ultimate in appearance and manifested the world of stars.

That is no longer canonization, but a deity.

It was the outer god of the Star Palace who took action himself!

In fact, Bai Yu's guess was correct.

Mars did not self-destruct pointlessly, but used his remaining life as a sacrifice.

He is the servant of the external gods and has been favored by the external gods.

God's favor has always been a double-edged sword, with a good side and a bad side. The disadvantage is that you act like a dog to God, but the advantage is that the advantage of being a dog to God means that there is God in your head.

Mars has been on duty in the Star Palace for so many years and is a loyal and old servant.

He is qualified to pay the price of his life to invite an outside god for a chance to take action.

Bai Yu was completely unable to resist when the foreign god was in front of him.

Whenever that hand touches your head gently, it will leave you with cuteness.

He can go straight to reincarnation.

just.

Bai Yu thought too highly of herself.

How could the outer god take action to obliterate him?

This is as outrageous as using a nuclear bomb just to kill an embarrassing whale.

The reason why Mars died was not for revenge, but to carry out the mission given by the outer gods. His goal was never to kill Bai Yu, but to fulfill his duty.

What are the responsibilities?

It is the passage to the Kingdom of Shadows!

The cold little hand formed by the gathering of starlight passed over Bai Yu's shoulder and gently poked the space passage half a foot away behind him.

In an instant, the space was torn apart, penetrated, and widened!

The seven walls of the Kingdom of Shadows were all penetrated in a snap of a finger!

The thick city wall is not only a physical creation, but also represents a spatial isolation and a conceptual disconnection.

In the myths and legends of Midwinter, the Kingdom of Shadows symbolizes the underworld. Scathach manages the Kingdom of Shadows to prevent all living people from entering the underworld. Her throne is a position established based on the existence of the demonic realm of the Kingdom of Shadows. .

Kings are different from seekers. There are only so many thrones in the world, and the positions of the six ministers are the same, one carrot and one pit.

But now, the road to the Kingdom of Shadows has been opened, and the seven city walls have been forcefully penetrated by a finger of the Outer God.

This directly and violently shook the foundation of the throne!

The Kingdom of Shadows inevitably ushered in a manic earthquake.

……

The other side.

The confrontation between the two sanctuaries did not last long.

The winner was actually decided in less than ten seconds from the beginning.

High judgment.

It's just because Lyudmila is really stubborn, relying on her dragging and dragging style of play to forcefully delay the decline that has collapsed thousands of miles.

She couldn't save the situation of defeat, but she also understood what the procrastination technique meant.

No matter what Xiu wanted to do, it was a good thing that she could keep him here for one more second.

And the time came to the fifteenth minute.

Lyudmila was exhausted, her breath was slumped, and she took a step back.

The luster in his eyes quickly dimmed.

She sighed: "I failed."

Xiu Momo took back the majestic world behind him, and the shadows converged. He said calmly: "I wanted to defeat you in ten seconds, but you are also smart. What you have learned in these fifteen minutes is enough for you to ponder for a hundred years."

"A hundred years?" Lyudmila looked pale but held her head high and said confidently: "Give me another fifty years, and I can catch up with you now!"

Xiu Ping said calmly: "Maybe, but after today, maybe I won't be around anymore... No matter what, you won't have a chance to avenge your shame."

Lyudmila asked in a deep voice: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xiu turned around and left: "King."

He raised his head, looked at the grand scene where the stars gathered, and disappeared silently.

Lyudmila clenched her fists and slowly bit her wrist, suppressing her inner reluctance.

……

Rumble——!

Rolling thunder flows between the dark clouds, and the Kingdom of Shadows is always covered with gaps in the sky covered with clouds. It is like the earth that has dried up due to lack of moisture. In the corridors of the Kingdom of Shadows, where light and dark alternate, no one can be seen. .

This building was originally built a long time ago, but in this earthquake, more than half of it collapsed.

blah blah blah...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed on the empty road of the Kingdom of Shadows.

This is a world covered in ice and snow, and the seven destroyed city walls are now like circular arches, opening a road to the deepest part.

Xiu wore a round felt hat and held a long stick like a dead wood in his hand, walking slowly along this ice-covered road. He had just experienced a battle with the icy Valkyrie, and the corners of his clothes were still stained with some ice. A piece of crumbs, but this does not affect his magnanimity.

They were obviously visitors walking in the wind and snow, but they didn't look embarrassed at all.

He stretched out his hand and patted the city wall gently, recalling that he had studied here more than two hundred years ago. At that time, there were still a few people who came with him, but his former friends had become a handful. Loess, the past cannot be traced, but the city wall is still standing here, after countless years.

He passed through the seven city walls and came to the door of the Kingdom of Shadows.

This door has no name, and is as plain as any building in the Land of Shadows.

But it is the core of the Kingdom of Shadows. Behind this door lies the underworld and the shadow vortex of the entire world.

Xiu knew that as long as he came here, he would be able to see that person.

Sure enough, in front of the door... the purple-haired woman stood sideways, waiting for the arrival. Two bright red magic guns were stuck on the ground. Her hands were empty. There were signs of leaks on her tights, and there was blood flowing. .

Catkin-like white snow was falling, falling on her shoulders and staining her hair. She stood there with a bright color that should not exist in this dead place.

Scathach, Queen of the Shadow Kingdom, teacher of countless heroes.

Xiu slowly said: "Long time no see...Master."

"Xiu Leiting." Scathach announced his name: "I didn't expect to meet you at this time. You seem to have become very mature."

"Old is old." Xiu pressed his hat and said, "More than two hundred years have passed."

"...Really?" Scathach looked slightly surprised: "It's been so long."

Xiu suppressed the emotions in his heart and continued: "Master is as usual, everything seems to be fine."

Scathach glanced at the broken city walls and the messy Kingdom of Shadows: "In your opinion, can this scene be called peaceful?"

She shook her head and sighed, her eyes scanning lightly.

Scathach's appearance is actually quite outstanding, and the color of her eyes is also a very coquettish purple, but her expression and temperament always make people forget these things unconsciously, as if she was born without color, but those beautiful and coquettish eyes Also cold and indifferent.

Even when facing a disciple he hadn't seen for more than two hundred years, Scathach's attitude changed very quickly.
