Warhammer 40 A New Hope

"This fight is really intense. I guess it will take some time to decide the winner." Wu Mo said.

"By the way, where are Nero and V?"

"They should still be on their way. V is in good condition due to the time, but you know, he is relatively 'weak'."

"That's all the other people have left, be more tolerant~"

"Be careful, it's coming again!"

588. Virgil

Alternative title: I am the storm that is approaching

Thanks to the participation of Zhang Yi and others, V, who was not very weak, came to the space where the fierce battle was taking place with the help of Nero. They just witnessed Dante rushing in front of it under the rain of light released by Yuri, and the magic sword in his hand pierced into the eye on its chest.

Yuri, who had completed his transformation, fell down, and Dante, breathing heavily, released his [True Demon Form].

Obviously, Dante, who obtained the [True Demon Form], and Yurizen, who swallowed the fruit of the devil tree, are actually similar in combat power, but Dante still successfully defeated his brother who gave up everything to pursue power by relying on the humanity that Yurizen gave up.

In the world of Devil May Cry, the power of the mind should be real. Back then, Sparda relied on the intelligence that other demons did not have to become the most famous magic swordsman and sealed a series of big guys such as Mondes. Now Dante, who inherited this, has defeated his brother who is constantly pursuing power - history is a circle.

The following plot developed as usual. The knocked-down Yuri kept muttering "strength, strength", while V, his human side, stepped forward alone and mocked him for making the wrong choice.

"Your ability is really convenient." Dante, who felt that there was no problem at this time, said as he stood near Zhang Yi's portal. "Is this how you met Sparta?"

"I don't know how to explain it to you right now, but..." Zhang Yi said. "Do you think there's something wrong with that?"

Dante looked in the direction Zhang Yi pointed and saw V raising his crutch towards the fallen Yuri.

"!!!"

Dante immediately ran in that direction, trying to stop it.

boom--!

A huge amount of energy rose from the ground, and the originally shattered illusion became even more shattered. At the same time, the figures of V and Yurizen disappeared from the spot, and were replaced by a familiar figure.

Virgil

【I am the storm that is approaching． ． ． 】

"Is this song suitable for you?"

"Why? This is Virgil's exclusive song."

Dante, who had just experienced a great battle, rushed towards Virgil who had recovered to his original form without saying a word. However, it was obvious that he was not in a very good condition after the previous battle. Compared with Virgil who was resurrected with almost full health and full condition, he was at a huge disadvantage.

Virgil on the other side obviously also learned something from this series of events and was not as aggressive as before, but the competitiveness between the brothers still existed. After all, this had started between the two brothers since childhood.

"It's meaningless to defeat you now." Vergil said, looking at Dante who was wrestling with him in front of him. "Dante, go and heal your wounds, save your strength, and then we will solve this matter."

boom!

Vergil beat Dante back, and the latter flew a long distance before stopping. Vergil, holding the Yama Sword, created a crack in the air battle and prepared to leave.

"Hey, Nero, thank you." Virgil turned his head to look at Nero and said, but then he looked at Zhang Yi and the others. "As for you, I have a score to settle with you later."

"what?"

Virgil did not give Zhang Yi and the others time to ask questions. He walked directly into the crack and disappeared into this space.

Then there was the dispute between Dante and Nero, which also confirmed Zhang Yi’s previous statement that Virgil was Nero’s father whom he had never met, which was why Dante didn’t want him to get involved at this time.

"Family problems of your generation are almost becoming the norm." Zhang Yi muttered. "Kill your own father (strength), brothers live in harmony, fathers are kind and sons are filial."

"So I want this problem to be eradicated from me," Dante responded. "Keep an eye on him and get me some pizza and a strawberry sundae."

"It's a miracle you don't have high blood pressure if you keep eating like this."

Dante unceremoniously stepped over Zhang Yi, opened the portal, and came to the temporary camp, while Nero was a little frustrated.

"...Want to hear the story of your father and Dante's love-hate relationship?"

～～～～～～～～～～～～～

Listening to stories can help you let go of bad emotions, and to some extent, there's nothing wrong with that.

But for Nero, this could only make his not-so-good mood a little bit better.

The problem now is that Virgil and Dante are going to fight to the death, and as the owner of the third generation of Spartan blood, Nero is very conflicted about whether he should get involved.

On the one hand, Vergil is his father, and the last thing Dante wants to see is father and son fighting each other. On the other hand, his own strength is not enough, especially when he knows about the amazing record of Dante and Vergil before (in the third generation, the two fought with swords and created a vacuum zone in the heavy rain).

"In fact, not having enough power now is not a big problem." Zhang Yi said to Nero in front of him, holding a pizza in his hand. "Look at your father. He has been chasing power for so long, but every time he was pushed to the ground by his own brother."

"And your grandfather Sparda, the father of Virgil and Dante, was not respected just because of his strength. Of course, strength is also indispensable..."

"The reason why he is respected and considered the strongest magic swordsman, feared or admired by countless demons, is because he has something that most demons do not have - intellect and emotions."

"What's the point of all this? I'm going to talk to Virgil and Dante about reason and emotion?" Nero responded. "I can't do anything right now..."

"Then have you ever thought about why Virgil, who is always training and pursuing strength, can never beat his lazy brother?"

"Why was Sparta able to defeat the entire demon world almost single-handedly?"

"In this world, the power of the mind exists. The gains from thinking through some things, understanding some things, and accepting some things are far greater than those from seeking all kinds of power."

"Of course this is just our speculation. I don't know how it will be done or what the process will be."

"...it's the same as if you didn't say anything..."

"In that case, why don't you go back and see your wife?" Zhang Yi said. "I think this is what you need."

"Besides, you don't really think that the whole city is like this, and the telephone booths on the street are now usable?"

. . . . . .

"Hey! Virgil, your days of opening portals at will are over. Give me the Yama Blade."

"If you want it, you have to come and get it yourself. You already know the rules."

"I knew you would say that."

"How many times have we fought before?"

"It's hard to say. In my childhood memories, we were always fighting."

"It's time to come to terms with this, Virgil, once and for all!"

As they said, Virgil and Dante have been fighting with each other since they were young, fighting for things, fighting for their parents' love, fighting for victory or defeat. The powerful strength and fighting attainments of Sparta were reflected in them early on, so much so that their mother made an agreement with them that they could fight, but they had to stop when they were bleeding (comic plot).

Since three generations ago, the two brothers have been fighting each other constantly, fighting consciously, fighting unconsciously, fighting between Virgil after he was transformed by Mendes, and fighting between him (Virgil) and his son.

Perhaps it was because they really had some conflicts that could not be easily reconciled, or perhaps it was because the Spartan blood made them feel connected to each other with the same blood and power, and the fight between the two brothers had never stopped.

On one side is Dante, who inherited his father's wish to protect humans from the invasion of the demon world, and on the other side is Virgil who is willing to give everything for power. The battle between the two brothers never stops.

But now, there will be one more person between the two.

The white portal opened and Nero walked out.

"Can't they cook smaller portions?"

"They're always fighting with creatures the size of a house. How can they consume more calories if they don't increase their energy?" Zhang Yi responded. "And you don't have to finish eating."

"I'll remember that next time." Nero said. "Thank you."

"I'm just opening a door for you. It's up to you to figure it out. After all, it took your father so long to figure it out."

"Has he figured it out? I don't think so." Nero said. "But it doesn't matter, I will make him figure it out!"

"Why don't you teleport directly to the battlefield?"

"There must be swords flying everywhere right now. I'll open the door, and you take it?"

"Anyway, when the time comes, you'll find a corner to watch secretly, right?"

"That's my own business."

The portal closed, leaving Nero alone on the stairs. The sounds of explosions and swords swinging could be heard from the top.

"I failed to protect Credo (Kiriya's brother)..."

"Until now, I still regret my lack of strength..."

"But this time, I swear!"

"This time it's definitely different! I won't let any of you die!"

589. Zhang Yi: So how did this happen to me?

Bang bang－－!

BOOM!

Virgil suddenly stepped back in the explosion of flames, putting some distance between himself and Nero.

"Where did you get these evil ways?"

"That group of people gave it to me. They said it's specially made for people like you who use knives to block bullets." Nero loaded new bullets into the [Azure Rose] in his hand and said to Virgil in front of him. "It seems to be very useful now!"

Anyone who has played Devil May Cry knows that Vergil can block bullets from various projectile weapons by spinning the Yama Blade in his hand. No matter whether it's a pistol, rifle, or shotgun, none of them can get close to him.

In this situation, Zhang Yi asked the Mechanicus and the dwarves to design a special bullet - this bullet has its own sensing device, does not penetrate, and uses the air-blast shock wave, flames and metal fragments as its main killing force.

This type of bullet can effectively deal with defensive magic such as [Defense Against Arrows] and [Defense Against Projectiles], and here, it was first used against Virgil.

Zhang Yi gave this type of bullet to Nero, and then this situation occurred - facing his son's pistol attack, Virgil confidently turned his sword to block it, and then the bullet exploded just before it touched the Yama Sword, and the blast wave and flames that were completely disproportionate to its size directly engulfed it.

Of course, as a member of the Spartan bloodline, this kind of attack could basically not cause any harm to him, but it was frustrating - just like when he was still Yurizen and was knocked down by Zhang Yi's sudden punch.

Just as Zhang Yi knew, Nero, who had untied his mental knot and once again proved the power of his mind, stood between the two people who were fighting fiercely in the form of a demon, and then knocked Dante down with one punch (I fainted, I was pretending).

Then came the well-received segment of "loving father and filial son", but it was obvious that compared with his battle with his brother Dante, Virgil showed more mercy when facing Nero.

In other words, when Virgil learned about the existence of Nero and Zhang Yi from Dante, he had temporarily given up the idea of ​​fighting Dante to the death.

The white portal opened, and Zhang Yi popped his head out of it, just in time to see Dante lying on the ground.

"Lying down? Do you want an eye mask?"

"Give me one, the sun is so bright."

"FUXKYOU!"

The standard "fuxk" came out of Nero's mouth, and Nero, who changed into a demon form, punched the father in front of him.

Virgil took the punch firmly and flew several meters before stopping. At this time, the roar of [Scarlet Queen] (the name of Nero's weapon) sounded.

DUANG!

The fully charged [Scarlet Queen] slashed at the Yama Sword, causing Virgil to sink downwards. The next second, Nero fired at his face with the [Azure Rose] in his other hand.

Boom!

boom--!

The impact of the bullet explosion directly blew the two men away, and the flames of the explosion also left a little black mark on Virgil's face.

Bang bang——!

Ding!

Two more bullets came at him, and Virgil drew out the Yama Sword and swung it at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to capture with the naked eye, and then flames of explosion rose.

However, the next moment, Nero in demon form rushed out of the smoke and dust caused by the explosion and punched out with a heavy punch.

boom!

From the distance Virgil had struck out, it was clear that the punch was quite powerful. Both sides began to gasp for breath, and then Dante's laughter was heard.

"interesting..."

"Hey, man, you took your son's arm for greater power, and in the end you still lost?" Dante said, moving his eye mask upwards. "That's a bit..."

"Shut up, please?!" Nero also released his demon state at this time and said, "The influence of the demon world is expanding. We must do something!"

As he spoke, Nero looked at Zhang Yi who was hiding in the portal beside Dante.

"Why are you looking at me? You should look at your father. He was the one who closed the passage to the demon world."

"I can still fight." Virgil stood up and said, "But you're right. If we leave that thing alone, it will affect our subsequent confrontation."

"This is the first time I see you being so obedient. Is it because you lost the fight?"
