Arknights, the Angel of Justice is waiting for level 16

"I want to save Jiu, I want to kill Qianmian, I want to... stop this disaster."

Chen turned his head and looked at the huge storm forming outside the window, and slowly smiled.

"Uncle, you once asked me why everything was handled so badly."

"I said I was standing up for what was right. At that time you said... I was naive and self-righteous."

"Now, I suddenly understand that what you said is right. Correctness does not necessarily require a process, as long as the result is correct."

Chen's voice was calm and nostalgic, like a grown-up child telling his parents about his past mistakes. Although it was an admission of guilt, it also represented a farewell.

Wei Yanwu heard the metaphor in Chen's words. He made a compromising decision, which led to such a mess. The whole process was wrong.

Now, the only way to maintain correctness is to make the results correct.

"Chen! Many things require last resort."

“Uncle, you can treat me as a child, but you can’t treat the Longmen Guard Bureau as a child.”

Chen suddenly took a deep breath and stood up from the chair. She slowly pulled out Chi Xiao, looked at the docile and intimate blade, and once again thought of the young man who drew the sword.

No matter how many times she recalled it, she had to admit that at that moment he was really handsome.

"The Dragon Gate Guards are never afraid of bloodshed! I am no exception!"

"List!"

"Uncle, I like the current Scarlet Sky Sword very much."

Chen threw the phone upwards, flipped the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and instantly cut the phone into four pieces, and hung up the call.

After the sword flashed, the girl raised her head, and there was only determination in her crimson eyes.

"Longmen is my hometown, and I am willing to die for it."

The girl sheathed her knife, then pushed the door open and walked out. Her slender figure broke through the rain curtain that covered the sky and walked straight forward.

And right in front of her, two figures were slowly approaching. The flashing thunder made them appear and disappear from time to time, but it could not stop them from approaching...

"Chen, as promised, I'm here."

Chapter 78: Natural Disaster Sacrifice

Natural disasters are the most terrible disasters in the world of Terra. They are the source of suffering and pain on this land. Humans have built mobile city-states because of them, and wild beasts have wandered the wilderness because of them.

But at the same time, natural disasters also brought Originium, an endless source of energy that became the foundation of human prosperity, but also burdened humans with disease and despair.

The history of the Terra world has always been closely linked to Originium. It has caused the rise and fall of nations to go through cycles, and has also caused divisions and conflicts between ordinary people and the infected.

Humanity is no longer united. In the cities, prosperity and decadence are forcibly pieced together, as ugly as a stitched wound.

All this should have been impossible to change, but on that day a year ago, a visitor who traveled across the sea of ​​stars and across the heavens brought new despair and... hope.

On that day, a blazing meteor fell from the sky, and the shattered evil star was scattered all over the world.

The tiny fragments of the evil star are eager to regroup and develop consciousness. They live in the bodies of living beings, corroding them into monsters and constructing extraordinary life systems.

The "Remains of the Star of Misfortune" is a complete part of a certain Star Spirit's huge body. It has a vague consciousness and unconditionally obeys the "Star of Misfortune", like a swarm of bees, like a hive...

Now, most scholars in the Terra world know that due to the influence of the evil star, there is a certain probability that a natural disaster monster will be born in the place where the natural disaster occurs.

But this taboo secret is only known by a few people, and is kept secret for their own purposes...

To the north of Longmen, dark clouds covering the sky emerged from here. The black mist was twisted by the storm and formed a ring-shaped barrier. Thunder lingered in the clouds and the Originium dust rustled like wind and sand.

The aura of destruction made all living things flee. The immobile trees and grass turned into crystals under the infection of the source stone, and then quickly shattered into dust.

From afar, it looked as if the gates of hell were opening, and Doomsday was showing its concrete form, wiping out everything on this land.

But in this endless darkness, a ray of light is moving against the storm, as faint as a candlelight amidst the sky of Originium dust...

"Ji Luo, why did the 'remains of the evil star' cause a natural disaster?"

Chen drove the car carefully, her heart pounding with nervousness. In fact, she couldn't see the road ahead clearly, so she could only follow Ji Luo's instructions and go straight forward.

"Slow down a bit and make some minor adjustments. The route is a little off to the left."

Ji Luo was sitting in the passenger seat and reminded Chen, and the girl immediately turned the steering wheel to the right and returned to the correct route.

"The remains of the evil star will not cause natural disasters."

Surtel sat in the back, the tip of the heavy Levatin sword pointed directly at the front car. She supported her cheek with her hand and looked out the window calmly.

"This natural disaster was destined to happen. Qianmian simply accelerated the formation of the disaster by using the remains of the disaster star."

"The remains of the evil star... actually have this ability?!"

Chen had also seen the "Remains of the Disaster Star". It was hard for her to imagine that such a small piece of purple crystal could give rise to such a horrific natural disaster.

“It is definitely possible, but under normal circumstances, it cannot be done.”

Ji Luo didn't plan to hide the truth from Chen at this time. People were risking their lives to enter the battlefield, and it would be embarrassing for him to hide the truth.

"Let's put it this way. The 'Remains of the Star of Misfortune' itself has consciousness, but it is only at the level of a three-year-old human child. It actually has no ability to think or distinguish, and simply acts on instinct."

"On the other hand, it is just a small, incomplete piece with very limited energy. It is very easy to corrode and transform a person, but to create a natural disaster of this magnitude, it must be directed and driven by external forces."

"I have seen such a scene once before. It was in a mine in Ursus. A crazy man sacrificed thousands of lives to complete his experiment. He also gave himself a very resounding name - the Natural Disaster Priest."

Ji Luo couldn't help but sigh when he said this. Surtel closed his eyes and also thought of the battle.

That was their first time facing a Scourge behemoth, and it was under the control of a conscious being.

It can be said that if it were not for the help of Tallulah, the Patriots, and Froststar, as well as the great sacrifices of the Integration Movement, the battle would never have been won.

The natural disaster beasts are all newborns, with limited thinking ability, and act completely on instinct. But once they are controlled by humans, it will be a disaster more terrible than natural disasters!

All those who relied on the "Remains of the Star of Sin" to control the behemoths of natural disasters thought that they controlled the natural disasters, but little did they know... they had become puppets and servants of the Star of Sin.

Power is power. When it reaches a certain level, it cannot be restrained by humans. The ones who can drive them are always greater beings.

Therefore, the "remains of the evil star" that caused the death of nearly ten thousand lives was purified under the burning of the Holy Flame of Starlight, and has now become one with Surtur.

"Chen, you can be happier. It is estimated that none of Qianmian's subordinates are left. He is the only one left."

"Natural disaster...sacrifice."

It was hard for Chen to imagine how many people Qianmian had sacrificed to create the scene before him. Why was he so crazy?

Destroy Longmen? But Longmen has mobility, and even if the scope of this natural disaster doubles, Longmen can still survive.

"Ji Luo, Qianmian's real purpose is not to create natural disasters, right?"

"Of course, to be precise, it is based on the 'Remains of the Disaster Star' and the natural disaster to create the natural disaster beast, and then rely on the soul connection to control it."

Ji Luo made a reining motion and directly compared the natural disaster beast to a horse, but Chen, who had seen photos and videos of the natural disaster beast, turned pale instantly.

That was a monster that was fifty meters long when it was born. Now the largest known individual of the natural disaster beast has reached a height of one hundred meters. It once destroyed a village or town with tens of thousands of people in an instant.

"Can the natural disaster beast... really be... controlled?"

Chen Zhen couldn't imagine the consequences of such a natural disaster being manipulated by humans. It was almost certain that it would be sent to the battlefield, and using it to kill humans would be a terrifying scene!

"Of course I am sure!"

Ji Luo's answer made Chen fall into the abyss, but the next sentence pulled Chen out again.

"But, it is absolutely impossible to do that with the unpurified 'Remains of the Star of Misfortune'!"

"..."

Chen did not ask how Ji Luo knew all this, nor did she ask how to purify the "Remains of the Evil Star", but her intuition told her that Ji Luo knew all this.

"I have the purified remains of the evil star in my body."

Surtel's words at this time frightened Chen so much that her heart skipped a beat. She turned her head and found that the Sarkaz girl had a calm expression.

"However, what I control is not the natural disaster beast, but Him in Levadin."

Chapter 79: Storm

Surtel told Chen his secret very calmly. Chen took a deep breath and managed to calm down.

"I swear, I won't tell anyone these secrets."

"what ever."

Surtel turned his head nonchalantly and continued to look out the window. Ji Luo glanced back and forth between the two of them, and suddenly realized something.

Surtel was actually...testing Chen? !

If Chen leaked what happened today, even if she was not excluded from the team, she would no longer be trusted.

But on the other hand, Surtel had the intention to accept Chen. What happened during the time he was in a coma? Why did the relationship between the two become so good?

Ji Luo really wanted to know what was going on, but the car had a problem at this moment. After a loud bang, it completely lost power.

"I'll... go down and take a look."

Of course Chen doesn't know how to repair cars, but in this situation, she has to try even if it means going against her will.

Now, they were close to the natural disaster storm. If they didn't have a car, they would be directly exposed to the natural disaster. With such a high concentration of Originium, they would quickly be infected with Ore Disease, and within a few minutes, they would die.

"Don't look at it anymore. This car is already amazing to be able to get here."

Ji Luo stretched out his hand and patted Chen's body, and a wisp of holy flame entered her body, purifying her from the infection of the source stone.

"From now on, we can only walk."

Ji Luo got out of the car first, followed by Sulter. Chen held the car door and prepared himself for a few seconds before walking out with stiff hands and feet.

Outside the car - the Originium dust has formed a haze, and the natural disaster storm a thousand meters away seems to be within reach, and the overflowing wind almost tears people apart!

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Ji Luo's steady voice suddenly sounded beside Chen. The girl raised her head and saw Ji Luo stretched out his left hand and held her palm...

On the other side, Surtel took Ji Luo's right hand skillfully, and pure white holy flame emerged from Ji Luo's body, protecting the three people involved.

It is hard to imagine that in the midst of a raging natural disaster, someone would want to resist it with their flesh and blood.

But the miraculous thing is that the three people wrapped in the holy flame seemed to be separated from the world and were no longer affected by the raging natural disaster.

The strong wind seemed to be blocked by the mountains, and the tangible Originium dust disappeared in the flames.

"No matter what happens, don't let go of my hand."

"it is good."

Chen nodded vigorously, no longer having the strength she used to have. She looked around at the hellish scene and couldn't help but hold Ji Luo's hand tightly.

"..."

Ji Luo was a little hurt by the grip, but he didn't remind Chen. On the other side, Sulter was not afraid at this time, and even wanted to laugh.

"Let's go and see Qianmian for the last time."

Ji Luo held the hands of the two and started to move forward step by step. The land under their feet was flat as if it had been shoveled, and it was a bare wasteland.

Under the pitch-black sky, the storm was raging, and the three people were like three little ants, so small that they were hardly noticeable.

But the warm fire was burning on the three people. It illuminated a small piece of heaven and earth and held up a narrow halo, like... the only spark left in the ashes.

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely far away as it moved forward. Chen was wrapped in the warm holy flame. He didn't know how long it had been before he vaguely heard a whisper like the sound of nature.

"——We are the children of the sky and the birds. We fell to the earth because our wings were broken."

"what……"

Chen suddenly woke up from his trance and reflexively tried to break free from Ji Luo's hand, but Ji Luo held him tightly and he couldn't break free.

"Chen, keep your mind focused and don't be affected by the 'Remains of the Evil Star'."

"it is good."

Chen nodded with lingering fear, reached out and wiped his face, only then he realized that he was sweating profusely.

At this moment, they were walking in the storm of natural disasters. Everything around them had lost its shape, leaving only the mighty natural force that was reaching the sky and venting its power.

At the same time, Chen clearly felt that something was approaching.

It was trying to seduce and corrode her. If it weren't for the protection of Ji Luo and the flames, she would have probably lost herself.

"Is this... the true appearance of the remains of the evil star?"
