You tell me, this is called daily youth?

[Added a special projectile filling mode that can be filled with substantial souls. The power is proportional to the mass of the projectile, and the tolerance limit is greatly increased]

[Side Effect: The projectile is made from the user's soul, and the consumption increases]

[Description: This is a firearm that originated from the soul. Please do not use it multiple times.]

Yuki stepped onto the twisted deck. The corpses of the insect swarm covered the plains. The sky was still burning, as if another sun had risen.

He didn't waste a second and immediately invested all the reinforcement points. Two of these four reinforcement points came from exploring outside the wall, and two were just gained.

Special projectiles? It's a bit like Zhang Jin's special ability.

Yuki had seen similar chaos props before, so it was not difficult for him to understand. He had stuffed his own soul energy into the previous muskets, and this thing could not be filled with too much energy, otherwise it would explode. It was even more impossible to pour all the energy of the devil's heart into it, otherwise the prop would explode and he would have to find someone to repair it.

Apart from its usefulness in starting fires and such, its power is actually not that great. Even when loaded at full power, it is only slightly more powerful than a blaster.

Physical soul?

Yuki immediately knew what to put in it. Stuffing in the soul of a super-powerful person would be equivalent to a person of this level self-destructing in an instant, unleashing all his energy.

Hey, I actually have an extraordinary soul, which is worth at least two or three hundred points.

The key is the versatility of this musket. If the bullet is loaded in advance, then anyone can pull the trigger, right?

"Are you sure you want to continue?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Johnny Silverhand appeared like a ghost, reminding him that the countdown to his return had begun.

Yuki put away his musket and glanced at him. "I don't like to leave any tails on my shoulders. The Queen has been severely injured. Now is the best opportunity, and those natives don't have the strength to continue. It always feels wrong to just stand by and watch. Since I promised to end the war, I must keep my promise."

Yuki looked at the insect nest in the distance, where the battle was still going on.

"Just because of integrity?" Silver Hand shook his head. People from Night City didn't believe this.

"Haha, players like me can be saviors worshipped by everyone, or we can become demons that destroy the world. We have to do our best in every copy. What's the point of being a half-baked person?" Yuki laughed heroically as he sniffed the disgusting stench of corpses.

"You old bastard, do you still have heroic dreams?"

"The two are not contradictory. Being insidious is just a means. Who doesn't want to be admired by thousands of people? At least this is not a gamble. We really have a chance of winning." Yuki clenched his fists and saw Denise coming out of the cracked hull. The latter spread her hands and shook her head, and he knew what the result would be.

The greatsword tied with the special-grade cursed spirit, which was already amazing.

"I dropped the hunting beacon. It has to stay away from the battlefield." The woman jumped to Yuuki's side and glanced at Johnny Silverhand. "The hunt must continue. Captain and the others are still trapped in the insect nest. They may not survive the few hours it takes to return."

The return time can only be estimated from the burning. Since the queen is not dead, she must be preparing for revenge. She can't deal with the outsiders, and she can't eat the meat at her mouth?

Before the other main force came back, the Zerg no longer had an overwhelming numerical advantage. Johnny Silverhand looked around and could only sigh.

"Alright, I'll play along, but I have to tell you in advance that we've reached our limit. If things go wrong, I'll run away immediately."

Inside and outside the hive, there are only more than a hundred psychic warriors left, and the players are exhausted. Denise's body has been distorted to a certain extent, Reiner can hardly maintain the giant state, and Aslan's Gundam has been destroyed.

The ones who held back the most were Johnny Silverhand and Yuki. The latter seemed to have anticipated this moment and had not been exerting his full strength.

"Both sides have reached their limits, so it's time for a test of will."

"The Zerg has no morale setting, they won't collapse." Johnny Silverhand reminded coldly.

"Yes, they are not afraid, but they cannot transcend the shackles of the flesh and create the so-called miracles." Yuki raised his hand and pointed to the side. Next to the wreckage of the battleship, the defense force had already assembled.

Led by the commander-in-chief, hundreds of people formed a square formation. Each of them was covered in wounds and blood. There were less than fifty psychic warriors, and the rest included marines, various staff officers, and logistics personnel.

There were silver-white machines placed in the queue. They were earthquake generators that we had seen before. If they were placed in the body of a giant insect, they would be enough to shatter it.

They were fully armed, with the same belief in their eyes:

End this damn war.

There was complete silence, but under the illumination of the burning sky, morale was through the roof. Green mist emanating from the flames lingered around them, as if thousands of dead comrades had come back to life.

Johnny Silverhand fell silent. As a warrior who had fought against the powerful and witnessed the sacrifice of his companions, he could understand this feeling. Denise also stopped smiling, as if she was recalling the past of hunting demons.

There is also Reiner and Aslan. Yuki suddenly realized that the players gathered around him are all the same kind of people.

With heavy footsteps, the commander-in-chief came to Yuki, raised his hand, and respectfully handed a walkie-talkie to the man.

"Please issue a decisive battle declaration to the entire army on the public channel."

For a moment, Yuki seemed to have surpassed the identity of a player. Johnny Silverhand and Denise seemed to realize something, but did not snatch it away. As the real commander, this was the power that Yuki of Sky Island deserved.

The highest authority, issue a declaration to the entire army. If I give orders without reason, humanity will collapse.

His breathing became heavy, and the intercom seemed like a scepter. Yuki did not refuse, but took it steadily, holding it in his hand, not knowing what to say, and many images flashed through his mind.

The warriors who self-destructed in pursuit of their mission upon entering the dungeon; the Marines who, despite being mortals, used their flesh and blood to resist the swarm of insects; and Qudus, who volunteered to serve as bait and embarked on a battle from which there was no return...

Too many sacrifices, too many corpses, and the tragic war are the themes of this copy. Yuki picked up the communicator and said only one sentence.

"I am Honorary Major of the Defense Force, Yuuki Sky Island, and I hereby declare to the entire army."

His voice rang out in every communicator, whether in the fighter planes in the sky, leaving brilliant trails, fighting with the bat dragon; or in the ears of the shivering garrison troops in the city, holding rifles and hiding in the ruins; or outside the Unfall Fortress, in the war machines that were counterattacking the hundreds of thousands of Zerg swarms.

Or in the shelter, in the ears of a fully armed disabled old man and an ignorant child.

The whole world is fighting, and faces are raised one after another, some of them are afraid, some are confused, and some are numb. They don’t know who Sky Island Yuuki is, and where the commander-in-chief has gone.

"Whichever front you're on, whether you've heard my name or not, I stand outside the hive, just feet away from the Queen."

"I'll fight for the arrows, follow me, kill the bugs, and end this damn war!"

He spoke directly from his heart without any sentimental scenes. Yuki, who was not good at talking, threw away the intercom and looked into the pairs of eyes that were almost burning with fire.

That was hatred, the deep hatred brought about by the deaths of countless comrades.

That was hope, the hope that the war would end and we could finally put down our guns and live in peace.

Yuki was like a spark that, in the simplest terms, ignited the fire of the souls of millions of people.

[Player Yuki, your human reputation has been raised to epic]

[Player Yuki, you are completing an epic achievement and can terminate it at any time]

finally come!

The whispering voice suggested that this was what Yuki was truly pursuing, but the strange thing was that under the gaze of those pairs of burning eyes, he was no longer very interested in the 'epic quest'.

His chest was burning like the sky, his spirit was more excited than ever. He threw the intercom to the ground, crushed it with one foot, drew his knife, and fought fiercely with a loud shout.

"Kill the insects! Final battle!"

Chapter 43 Where are you running to!

Kill insects! Final battle!

As the flames of anger and hope spread, burning fiercely in the "global insect plague", humans almost fell into madness, and were even more fearless of life and death than the insect swarms that did not have the word "death" in their dictionary.

On all fronts, everyone from the Marines to the retired militia launched a frantic counterattack, entangled any insect that wanted to retreat, and the killing was even more mad outside the fortress.

From Lieutenant General Mota down, including the staff of the command center, all went to the battlefield. Fighter planes roared through the sky from time to time, dropping soldiers directly onto the Zerg's retreat route. Even if they would soon be overwhelmed, it would be enough to create waves to block the Zerg tide for a second.

No matter how the queen micromanaged, her army could not escape, and the truly powerful high-level Zerg within were burned to ashes. She suddenly discovered a cruel truth:

Yuki's plan was one thing after another, and he never thought about escaping from the beginning.

It clearly still has hundreds of thousands of subordinates, but at this moment it seems stretched thin. It needs time to wait for the insect swarm to return so that it can crush all resistance with numbers, but -

The sharp blade is within reach.

"Go ahead, don't get entangled. Miss Mai has already provided the coordinates."

Yuki roared. He was not just hot-blooded but also brainless. He had arranged everything that would follow while fighting with Kamui.

Sakurajima Mai's characteristic has finished cooling down, and she has already passed through the chaotic battlefield and gone deep into the "cave", destroying the second spirit particle communicator, which made Yuuki suddenly remember her.

The commando team led by Levi dug holes everywhere, and beat the giant insect to pieces from the inside.

Even the location where the battleship crashed was calculated. It 'happened' to be in the western part of the hive, where the Zerg's defense was the weakest.

Yuki himself led a group of remnants of the army to charge forward, and just when the queen was desperately trying to micro-manage, he stabbed into the insect nest's butt like a sharp knife.

There were wide streets and relatively intact buildings, and there were very few insect swarms blocking the way. They either went to protect the queen or joined the fight for the fire.

"The Queen is moving, and the swarm is gathering." Johnny Silverhand reported the situation and could see the hundreds of friendly army symbols jumping as a whole.

"It's fleeing, fleeing towards the main force of the insect swarm. Those insects are its last trump card."

Yuuki growled, this confirmed his previous speculation, if the Queen joined the main force, it would be truly infinite rebirth, able to consume everyone.

"Then it will try its best to stop us, and the captain and his men can't solve it." Johnny Silverhand immediately raised the question. This is an opportunity, but it is difficult to seize it.

"It can't escape. Are you going to keep your satellite orbital cannon to give birth to pups?!"

Johnny Silverhand even forgot that he was holding a trump card. He didn't use it when the battle was at its most intense. This shows how strong the endurance of Sky Island Yuki is.

You've been drug-free, right? How can you handle this?

"Where to hit?"

"Go where there are the most bugs. Continue to expand the soul force field and draw the remaining energy of the fire downwards. I want to burn the umbrella cap!"

Do you fucking think I'm superhuman?

Johnny Silverhand was so busy that the biological CPU was almost smoking, but he arranged each task with the assistance of the central database.

boom!

A bright beam of light penetrated the sky and slammed into the front. Hundreds of insects that had been gathered with great difficulty were instantly annihilated. The remaining ones had not yet stood up from the aftermath before a torrential rain of bullets had already hit them.

"Go forward, leave two teams to clean up." Yuki passed by the corpses and gave the order, and naturally some soldiers stayed behind to clean up.

He didn't need to worry about such trivial matters. The commander-in-chief had already divided the remaining troops into small teams. No matter whether they were psychic warriors or weak logistics personnel, everyone was not afraid of life or death.

You can't escape.

Yuuki stared ahead. A red wall had appeared at the end of the road. Some spiny-tailed insects and solution-worms were hurriedly climbing up the wall. Under the queen's micro-manipulation, their tactical movements were much better than before.

"Satellite orbital gun, blast a breach."

Yuki slowed down his pace, and the last beam of light exploded in front of him, breaking the city wall and blasting the insects on it into a bloody mess. However, they were also not afraid of life and death, and were ready to shoot even if they lost limbs.

It was impossible to kill the attackers, but as long as they were delayed, the escaping queen could reunite with the main force and become invincible.

"Reiner, come here and clear the way!" Yuki roared, and the phantom long sword released scorching flames, instantly expanding dozens of times.

Swah——

He slashed through the nearly twenty-story apartment building next to him and placed his palm on the surface while the fungal blanket was burning.

Concept reinforcement. Iron block.

A flash of light passed by, and the reinforced concrete building, as hard as steel, collapsed with a loud bang, and was caught by a strong giant before hitting the ground.

"Aslan, cover the sky, the rest of you, open fire, follow me!"

Following Yuki's roar, the giant, holding a giant battering ram, unleashed his extraordinary skills to the fullest, and his body even began to mutate. That was the demonization of him by the Smiling Lady.

Boom boom boom...

The ground trembled under his feet, concrete splashed everywhere, and before the dust from the railgun had settled, the giant was already charging towards him.

The dense spikes and slime made the battering ram spark everywhere, and he watched helplessly as he rushed in front of him.

boom! !

The wall was smashed through, and hundreds of insects were blown away. They had no chance to land. The barrage of various blasters and electromagnetic cannons blasted them into pieces in the air.

Led by Yuki, this team of 100 people rushed into the core area like a beast. In less than five minutes, the vision suddenly became dim and a strange "crackling" sound was heard in the ears.

Countless thick vines grew out and coiled around the attacker, making it impossible to see anything. The threat posed by this thing was extremely great. Fortunately, the commandos drilled directly into the queen's body, otherwise they would have been unable to get close at all.

"Silver Hand, how much time do we have left?"

"Give me a minute!"

"Thirty seconds at most. Everyone, form a circular defense. Smile and clear the way for Reiner. Don't let him stop."

Yuki spoke in a hurried tone. Every second was precious now because the senior was moving away. He had already guessed how the queen wanted to make her last struggle.

Denise nodded silently, and jumped onto the battering ram as bullets rained in all directions. The giant was already exhausted and was gritting his teeth to push forward, but more and more vines were entangled around him, and his speed was getting slower and slower.

The demonic energy is released. Sixty percent.

The silver pupils turned golden, and the beautiful face twisted accordingly. The giant sword flew in his hand like a piece of paper, and his hearing, intuition, and strength were all improved.

High-speed sword.

Swish, swish, swish...
