"Harry Smith, can you get the message?" Pace called.
There was no response. The black shadow just approached the two of them quickly, and the red light on its body became brighter and brighter.
In the sky, Ye Lina seemed to have sensed something was wrong. She flapped her silver wings, ready to intercept the shadow.
But at this moment, her wings were restrained - a dark shadow lingered on her wings, causing her to fall involuntarily.
She tried to struggle, but a red light broke through the air and pierced her wings.
"Sizzle!"
The angel with a broken wing fell from the sky. She used one wing to try to keep her balance, but in the brief moment when she was distracted, the black shadow flew in front of her and drew out the [Sword of Judgment].
At the critical moment, Ye Lina wrapped herself with her remaining wings, but with a flash of red light, the burning factor still tore open her entire breastplate -
"Elena!"
Vasily roared, pulled out three heat-seeking arrows, and quickly shot them at the black shadow in the sky—
"Click rub rub —"
After being hit by the slash, Yelena fell down a long distance. The black shadow seemed to want to continue chasing her, but the three arrows shot by Vasily forced him to change his trajectory and missed the opportunity.
Ye Lina fell heavily to the ground, her only remaining wings protecting her from the impact of landing. She rolled several times, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then lay motionless.
At this time, the steam armor fell to the ground, and Pace finally saw his true appearance - the simple and elegant armor was covered with black flesh and blood, and black gas spewed out from under the mask, like an awakened god.
"Zu Truman..." Pace raised his hand cannon.
Before he could shoot, Steam Armor raised his hand, and all the soldiers who followed the group to this place were pierced through the chest by black thorns. Pace and Vasily saw his action and retreated in time, thus avoiding the same fate.
After the two men stood firm, the mask of the steam armor opened and Harry Smith's face appeared in front of them.
But the difference is that his eyes turned pure black, and a faint smile appeared on his face:
"You're smart, Pace Monarch, but as a variable, your possibilities are over."
Zu Chumen stretched out his hand, and a thick darkness spread out, and the power of the lower world was surging out.
"Thanks to this young [Steam Gendarmerie] for peeling me out of the mad body of Hassanka Hafurgaard. Now, it's time to fix these mistakes..."
......
6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 9)
The moment his eyes met Harry Smith's, Pace's heart trembled violently.
What followed was anger, and fire seemed to be bursting out of his dark eyes, and his bloodthirsty instinct was breaking through his reason.
"You damn monster..."
He knew there was no turning back - if Harry Smith was not killed, all the sacrifices made by everyone before would have been meaningless.
"Don't be angry, Tyrant. Harry Smith is not dead yet. Your sword is already stained with so much blood. What does one more person matter?"
Zu Chumen moved the joints of the steam armor, and streams of white gas spurted out from the combination of black flesh and bronze, like a beast taking rest.
"Isn't that what you do best?"
The next second, Vasily raised the mechanical bow, and the cold steel arrow flew towards Zu Chumen, but was bound in mid-air by the black gravity.
Taking this opportunity, Pace took a sudden step forward and swung [Svarog]——
"clang--"
Zu Chumen drew out the Sword of Judgment to block, and the blade covered with black lines flickered with a faint red light, and he was in a stalemate with the giant flaming sword.
After a brief stalemate, Zu Chumen raised his arms and fired red light cannons continuously, forcing Pace to retreat continuously.
Vasily raised his bow and shot. The arrows were bound in the air by the black gravity, followed by a series of explosions, forming a wall of smoke that briefly obscured Zu Chumen's vision.
Pace then stepped back to Vasily's side and whispered:
"We have no choice but to kill him."
Any hesitation in the current situation would be disrespectful to the previous victims.
Whether it is the coalition forces that were annihilated under the red light of the Tower of Babel, or the destroyed country of I-Tran, this battle cannot be lost.
"I know, kid," Vasily held a bunch of arrows between his fingers, "He is very powerful. He died so many times and was able to be resurrected. It is hard to imagine that he would have any weaknesses..."
"No, he must have a weakness, we just haven't discovered it yet..." Pace whispered.
Whether it was the original [Blackwater Scholar] or the later possessed Edisi, Zu Chumen's power always seemed to change with the body he was attached to.
His most powerful state was undoubtedly after he entered the so-called "pseudo-god body". According to Zu Chumen himself, it was a combination of Hassanka Hafurgaard's remains and machinery, and a pathological product of the Federation's bionic technology.
According to the current situation, the body has been destroyed by Harry Smith, but Zu Truman has entered Harry's body and used it as a medium to control the [Steam Armor].
This is the really tricky point... A powerful set of armor plus the power of the underworld is very costly to break, and it is impossible to fundamentally end Zu Chumen.
After the hard battle is over, Pace and Vasily will inevitably be exhausted, and it will be easy for Zu Chumen to take advantage of the situation and possess them again.
Even if Harry Smith's body is killed, Zu Truman will not die. He can still look for the next body, and then the next one.
If you want to destroy him, you need to destroy his essence, but now Pace doesn't know what Zu Chumen's essence is.
"There's only one way left," Pace said.
Vasily seemed a little surprised. He turned his head to look at Pace, then thought:
"Oh... well... this is the only solution left."
The two of them turned their heads together and looked at the [Frontier] behind them that was collecting [Destruction Factors].
Then, the two nodded to each other.
At this time, the smoke dispersed, and a bronze figure walked out, with light and graceful steps:
"You know what? When the Symbol Society kicked me out of Chaoqu Academy, they called me a freak and thought I would never achieve anything in the field I was devoted to..."
"I was driven to the misty mountains and assigned a lot of insignificant research... studying geology, studying the natural environment... Haha, no one understands me. What I pursue is immortality..."
"Now I have eternal life," Zu Chumen opened his arms, "You can't kill me unless you kill everyone in this world, including yourselves."
Pace and Vasily didn't waste any words. Three smoke arrows were shot at Zu Chumen, and the smoke screen spread again.
The two men spread out in the smoke, preparing to attack from different angles.
"It's useless, it's useless!"
Zu Chumen stomped his feet violently, and a huge shock wave accompanied by a gravity explosion tore through the smoke.
He turned his hand and aimed the bronze hand cannon at Pace who was about to attack from the side and rear, firing a series of red lights -
"Da da da da da-"
Pace inserted [Svarog] into the ground to block the light. At the same time, Zu Chumen used his other hand to control the thick darkness. With a stretch and a twist, he controlled Vasily who was not far away in place.
"Iron Guard, give us some closing remarks! The flow indicates that you are about to die!"
Zu Chumen gently clasped his five fingers together. At the same time, a series of sparks burst out from Vasily's giant force armor. He knelt on one knee, and blood began to flow from the gaps in the armor.
At this time, the multi-barreled cannon that was suppressing Pace missed, and Pace kicked Svarog's sword hard. The blade inserted into the ground pried up a bunch of gravel and hit Zu Chumen like a torrential rain.
Zu Chumen stretched out his hand, and the rubble exploded in the air. He wanted to use the same gravitational force on Pace, but Pace had already rushed in front of him and swung the giant sword violently -
"boom!"
The flaming giant sword slashed on the steam armor, leaving a deep melt mark, and the black flesh made a "sizzling" sound.
The gravity that Vasily was affected seemed to be much weaker at this moment. He raised his bow and shot continuously at Zu Chumen, and then blew up a wall of smoke not far from Zu Chumen.
Zu Chumen wanted to disperse the smoke wall, but just as he was about to do so, Pace loosened his grip on Svarog, flexibly bent over and slid out, taking advantage of the situation to pull out the cold steel knife and insert it into the joint of the Steam Armor.
"Shhh-"
Sparks flew, and the cold steel dug deep into Zu Chumen's knee.
He fell to his knees, and for a moment he lost sight of Vasily.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Pace stood up, pulled out his hand cannon, and pressed it against Zu Chumen's temple:
"boom--"
The bullet hit Zu Chumen's forehead but was intercepted by a beam of black light. His head tilted but he was not fatally injured.
"enough!"
The gravity of darkness exploded, pushing Pace several steps away. He stood firm, only to see Zu Chumen stand up and draw out the [Sword of Judgment] again.
"Only the Tower of Babel can reveal the truth in the sky. Laplace longs for the truth of destiny. You ants are trying to stop the true pioneers. This is an act of usurpation!" Zu Chumen shouted loudly.
"Do you think you're acting in a play? What lines are you shouting..."
Pace raised his hand cannon to shoot, but Zu Chumen had already restrained him with gravity, causing the muzzle to move downward.
"That's enough. I predicted your every move. Now it's time to end the game." Darkness condensed at Zu Chumen's fingertips.
"Really? So you predicted that too?"
Pace pointed, and Zu Chumen turned around and saw Vasily rushing towards the Frontier, which was absorbing high-frequency factor energy, in the dissipating smoke.
"We can't kill you, but we can destroy the body you want."
6) Under the Tower of Babel (Part 10)
Seeing Vasily running towards the Frontier, Zu Chumen's body trembled slightly, and he chased after him without hesitation.
Seeing this, Pace grabbed Svarog, leaped up, and swung at him——
"clang--"
The panicked Zu Chumen was knocked away and rolled on the ground for a few rounds. When he got up, Pace was already in front of him:
"If I'm not mistaken, you can't stay in Harry's body forever, right?"
"What are you talking about?" Zu Chumen stood up.
"It's simple. If you can stay attached to him forever, why would you be thinking about [Border]?"
Pace raised the corners of his mouth slightly. After just a few reincarnations, he had pieced all the clues together.
All the clues from the first time he faced the [Blackwater Scholar] until now have converged into the truth about this evil ghost.
There is no doubt that Zu Chumen can take over the bodies of other people. The body he was in when he first met Pace was most likely not his original body, and perhaps it had been changed many times.
The medium for possession is black water - this was derived from the black water pollution incident in the kingdom. After accepting the black water, Eddie became Zu Chumen's puppet and became a candidate for his body.
Also, the body that is possessed does not have to be made of flesh and blood - the half-mechanical, half-flesh [pseudo-god body] can also serve as Zu Chumen's body, and it is even more powerful.
Even though he was turned into an out-of-control monster, Zu Chumen still retained the idea of seizing [Frontier] as his own body. This was the real breaking point.
The key point is that Harry Smith plus the [Steam Armor] is already a very powerful combination. Zu Chumen can use this body to destroy [Frontier], Pace and others, and then obtain a more stable body after the war is won.
Then why did he try every possible means to seize [Frontier]?
Because he had to do this, there was a high probability that he would not be able to possess Harry forever.
This may be because the process of possession was too hasty, so he was unable to completely merge the black water and Harry. It may also be because his strength was limited after being severely injured and he was unable to carry out a complete erosion.
In short, Zu Chumen's panic behavior exposed himself.
Judging from his reaction when he saw Vasily's actions, the deadline was almost up.
"Your time has come, you poseur."
As Pace spoke, he raised Svarog high and swung forward, leaving a trail of fire.
"boom--"
When the blade of the giant sword hit the ground, dust with sparks exploded. Zu Chumen retreated repeatedly, while raising the arm cannon on his arm to try to fight back.
Just as he was aiming at Pace, his arm twitched and the laser cannon went astray.
Sure enough, he was losing control of his body!
Pace pursued the enemy, firing his hand cannon and wielding his giant sword to quickly approach. Zu Chumen's body jerked violently several times, then he drew out the [Sword of Judgment] and slashed at Pace.
"clang--"
The blades collided, sparks flew, and the next second, the [Sword of Judgment] that was corroded by darkness broke.
Taking advantage of Zu Chumen's weakness, Pace rushed forward and kneed Zu Chumen, knocking him to the ground, then raised [Svarog] high.
