While Su Jue was still on guard against attacks, danger was already approaching the group of four. After being repelled, Tonatiuh did not continue to attack, but swam towards the coastline.
The people who were fighting the Honkai Beast over there did not notice the approaching danger, only Xier sensed it.
"Be careful." Unfortunately, her reminder was a little late. Rosalia was still spinning around with her sword, but the next second she bumped into Tonatiuh's claws and was blown away.
The lobster-like claws flashed and pierced her abdomen in an instant.
Blood splattered, Rosalia's eyes widened, she didn't even feel the pain, only the obscured sky was exceptionally gloomy.
The curse is real.
At this point, she was still thinking about this.
"Sister!" She heard Lilia's cry. Lilia, who always spoke softly, was screaming heartbreakingly at this moment.
She opened her mouth to respond, but the wound was torn again. Rosalia was impaled on the claws, lifted high up, and then slammed down to the ground.
"Cough..." This heavy blow completely pierced Rosalia's body. Blood spurted out of her mouth, and a deep pit was smashed into the ground by her petite body.
it hurts.
Intense pain came from every corner of her body, and the gushing blood gradually dyed the beach red and seeped into the sand. Rosalia's vision was dim, and she could hardly even breathe.
What kind of monster is that and why is it so fast?
Was I cut into pieces? Every bone ached.
Lilia is still beside me, I can't let her see her sister in such a miserable state...
All kinds of strange ideas flashed through her mind. Normally, Rosalia could come up with many clever ideas in an instant, but now, the ideas in her mind were shattered and silenced one by one, and finally turned into a single obsession.
Lilia.
"Rosalia!" The sudden change attracted everyone's attention, but Tonatiuh would not give anyone a chance. He instantly flashed high into the sky and fell down like a falling star.
boom--!
The ground rolled over, and several violent waves spread out in all directions. Lilia, who rushed over, was knocked away. Only Seele managed to approach Tonatiuh by relying on the phase-travel state. She swung her sickle to the extreme and forcibly cut off one of its claws.
However, when she rushed to Rosalia's side, she could no longer sense any breath.
The severely injured Tonatiuh shrank his body and entered a state of explosiveness. A moment later, energy exploded and the entire space was shaking.
Bronya's shield was unable to withstand the attack, and Seele's phase state had just ended, so only Lilia had room to move.
"Sister." Lilia's eyes were filled with tears, and her petite body was ready to block the attack.
boom--
As expected, she was blown away. Although the energy was offset, the impact had already exceeded her limit. She could only use her body to bear the remaining impact.
After the explosion, Tonatiuh entered the speed form and arrived at Lilia's side in the blink of an eye, ready to repeat the scene of killing Rosalia before.
At the critical moment, the flying blade cut through the air, knocked the spikes off course, and saved Lilia.
The Hyperion's support finally arrived, and a large number of mechas were airdropped and fell, fighting with the surrounding Honkai beasts. Theresa took Judas and directly released the Twilight Knight Armor, and flew the blade towards Tonatiuh, but it had little effect at high speed.
Because Tlaloc's body was fixed, Theresa and Bronya were able to fight it head-on. However, Tonatiuh was a representative of high mobility, and after just a few quick attacks, several people were exhausted.
While the men were fighting desperately with Tonatiuh, they naturally did not notice that the shell in Rosalia's pocket had been broken.
If Su Jue hadn't raised her hand just now, Rosalia would have died. However, Su Jue deliberately concealed her life breath. How could the Herrscher's help come without paying a price?
Theresa and the other two were restrained and unable to provide support. Only the seriously injured Lilia dragged herself to Rosalia's side.
Looking at my sister who was being too quiet, I couldn't hold back my tears.
"Stupid Rosalia, don't scare me, wake up."
But Rosalia, who was always full of energy, was unable to respond to her call this time. Lilia knelt beside her, and her vision became increasingly darker.
The impact had already damaged her internal organs. As her consciousness weakened, she slowly felt heavy sleepiness and the aftereffects of the fusion with Ashuwa began to take effect.
Biting her own tail to force herself to stay awake, Lilia gently hugged her sister and hummed the nursery rhyme she had learned in the orphanage for her.
There was a thick dead silence in her eyes. As twins coexisted, Lilia's heart was already filled with death.
……
A sigh came from the air, and Su Jue fell from the sky to her side. She felt that she was becoming more and more soft-hearted. How could she fight against humans if she continued like this?
"I can keep her alive."
"..."
"You two share the ability of Ashwa, and your lives are connected. You can save her by reactivating the power of Houkai in her body, but the price is your death."
"Save my sister...Lilia...don't be afraid of death."
Su Jue quietly awakened Rosalia's consciousness in his mind and handed another shell to Lilia.
"Remember the oath of the shell. I will transfer your life to hers, Lilia. Are you sure?"
"No! Lilia, don't do it." Rosalia, who was separated by Su Jue with Yu Duchen, saw this scene after waking up, and immediately tried her best to stop it, but Su Jue wanted this effect. What else could make people grow more by letting the person closest to them die in front of them?
"As long as my sister can survive... that's all."
"Then the contract is done."
The thread of domination began to extend, connecting Rosalia and Lilia to each other, gradually extracting the abilities of the Honkai beasts from the two. He didn't really want to merge the two Ashwagami into one, Honkai beasts were meaningless to the Herrscher, but Rosalia was different, she was expected to become a fusion warrior of the new era.
As for Lilia, Su Jue actually only slightly weakened some of her abilities and eliminated her sleepiness symptoms, but what manifested itself was that her life was gradually disappearing.
Even though her sister was right in front of her, Rosalia could only watch her "die". Just when she was about to fall into despair like Lilia, Su Jue forced her to fall asleep.
If you keep reading, you'll be exposed.
Quietly using the power of the Serenity Gem to repair Rosalia's body, Su Jue temporarily controlled her to stand up and supported Lilia's body.
"Your body hasn't recovered yet..." Rosalia's injuries looked serious, but she was actually no longer in danger of death.
"That's it. I can leave with you. Don't drain Lilia's abilities."
"But in this case, you will only live for one year..."
"Twins are symbiotic. If Lilia dies, what's the point of me living?" The pink-haired girl shook her head and looked at Lilia with longing. "I'm sorry, Lilia, I'm leaving. Everyone in the orphanage needs someone to take care of them. Please say goodbye to them on my behalf."
"Sister, don't leave." Lilia finally understood that her sister had made an agreement with Mr. Shell when she saved her last time. But now the transfer has not been completed, and her sister only has one year left to live, which means that this time it is very likely to be a farewell forever.
"We will meet again, but not now..."
Rosalia handed her bracelet to Lilia, and then left with Su Jue. Watching her sister leave, Lilia's vision became heavier and heavier, and finally she fell asleep.
154 Unavoidable Conflict
"Let's go." Putting the shell soaked in the power of domination into Lilia's hand, Su Jue looked at the battle that was gradually subsiding in the distance, and said to [Kiana] beside him.
She raised her hand and gently patted Rosalia's neck, and the girl's body went limp and fell into her arms.
At this time, Su Jue was still driving a doll with the appearance of [Kiana]. He originally thought that he could act secretly, but now after experiencing the battle with Tonatiuh, the appearance information of this body would sooner or later be recorded in the data room of the Hyperion.
"Sorry, I screwed up." This operation not only destroyed several warships, but also nearly killed Tonatiuh. It was a heavy loss. If it weren't for Su Jue's rescue, the situation would have been even worse. [Qiana] lowered her head, not daring to look Su Jue in the eye.
"Don't worry, this is just your first mission, and it's normal to be unprepared. The real world is much more complicated than the world bubble, and unexpected situations may occur at any time."
Su Jue continued to comfort him, "If I remember correctly, the destined bishop Otto in this world also has an assistant maid who is responsible for miscellaneous tasks. As an S-level Valkyrie, it is common for her to fail. So there is no need to blame yourself. Perhaps this is just the fate of the bishop."
"How dangerous is this world? Even S-class Valkyries often fail? But since this is the main world, there must be a lot of S-class Valkyries." [Kiana] sighed, thinking back to the world she used to live in. It was just a small village. Once she entered the big city, the scenery was completely different.
"Well, probably." There was a hint of guilt in his eyes. If Rita heard this, she would probably hug Yulandel in the middle of the night to complain.
Just as he was about to leave, a humming sound suddenly came from the air. Su Jue raised his hand, and the flying blade stopped in mid-air, less than five centimeters away from his shoulder.
Even after Su Jue knocked off a layer of their quantum shell, they were still no match for Theresa and her companions. Even though they had the speed advantage to distract them, they were only two A-class and one S-class, and they were also assisted by the Hyperion's naval guns. It was reasonable that they were defeated.
The flying blade fell back to his side, Tonatiuh had been suppressed, and Theresa finally had time to stop Su Jue who was about to run away.
"What did you do to Lilia and the others?!" Sweat streamed down her cheeks. The Twilight Knight Armor put a heavy burden on her body. Fortunately, the battle ended in time, allowing her to discover the situation here.
The Twilight Blades kept spinning around, blocking all of Su Jue's escape routes.
For some reason, she felt that the white-haired woman looked familiar. This reminded her of her close friend Cecilia, who was not only of similar age, but also looked somewhat similar.
If she hadn't displayed a completely different temperament, she might have thought that Cecilia had been resurrected.
"Ms. There's no need to be so nervous, Miss Theresa. As you can see, I have no intention of harming them. Rosalia has made a deal with my friend before, and this time I saved her life out of friendship."
The unconscious Rosalia was held in Su Jue's arms with one hand, which made his words seem particularly unconvincing. If [Kiana] was not a female, Theresa would even suspect whether Su Jue was a pervert who deliberately kidnapped the little loli.
Carefully sensing Rosalia's breath, Theresa finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she had saved her life.
Although it was still somewhat possible, Theresa's tone softened a little, "In that case, why not ask this lady to stay for a while? The Hyperion has a special medical team that can ensure her treatment. After the matter is resolved, I will personally send you home, and there will be a generous reward."
It seems that after awakening the Twilight Knight, Theresa's IQ has improved, she can retreat to advance, and she doesn't speak as bluntly as before.
The Hyperion in the sky was slowly approaching. The fire caused by the explosion was still burning on the deck. As the culprit, Su Jue felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay here.
"I appreciate Miss Theresa's kindness, but I suddenly remembered that the gas stove at home is still on. See you next time."
While Su Jue was talking nonsense, Theresa had already received a message from Einstein, "Don't let her go. I just checked the surveillance and found traces of a figure when Cocolia disappeared. The damage to the Hyperion should also be caused by her."
"Don't leave in a hurry. I'm curious about your attack on the ship. Can you give me an explanation?" The flying blade stopped spinning and aimed directly at Su Jue. As long as he had the slightest intention of escaping, it would fall without hesitation.
But in the face of Theresa's threat, Su Jue just snapped his fingers, and all the flying blades aimed at him were hit by an invisible force.
The array collapsed, and the flying blade was directly bounced back into Theresa's hands. Her expression was a little ugly. She could easily counter the attack of the S-level Valkyrie. This guy with unknown origins was definitely not simple, but even in the archives of Destiny, there was no record of someone who could control this invisible power.
"Bronya!" As soon as the voice fell, the heavy artillery arrived and exploded.
The power of Gray's stigma is telekinesis, which has a strong ability to control objects, but it is slightly inferior to pure explosions. However, that's all. The golden sea sand was lifted up to form a sand curtain, which easily swallowed the impact of the explosion.
However, at the moment when the sand curtain blocked the vision of both parties, Xier in the phase state broke through the obstruction, and Tong Yao tore through the air and landed on Su Jue.
Only an afterimage was cut off, but Su Jue's control was successfully interrupted. The two separated, and at this time Xier finally saw Su Jue's face clearly.
"Ms. Kiana, why are you here?"
……
"Wait, Seele, what did you call her?" The first one to react was Bronya. When she was in the Quantum Sea, Seele had seen Saint Freya in the Trial World, but that was only her appearance in Bronya's memory. But the person in front of her was obviously not a young girl.
"Kiana, when we were in the Quantum Sea before, my sister and I were separated for a period of time. During that time, Mr. Qian Jue and I stayed in the world bubble for ten years. She is the Kiana in that world." After saying that, Xier turned her head to look at Su Jue, as if to confirm whether she had made a mistake.
"..." Su Jue shook his head. He didn't care about his identity being exposed, but he definitely couldn't admit it. "No, I'm actually a man-made human created by destiny, codenamed K425."
"You're lying. The android experiment was abandoned a long time ago. There's no way there are new individuals." Theresa checked the data herself and confirmed that there were no records after K423. However, whether it was the attack on the transport ship or the other party's mastery of unknown abilities, it was indeed in line with the style of destiny.
"Believe it or not, don't get in the way." The more he talked, the more loopholes he found. Su Jue didn't care about their speculations about this body, but Kiana would come to Anti-Entropy for treatment next, and he didn't want her to know his identity for the time being.
"I'm not your friend, and I don't want to waste time talking to you." Yellow sand gathered in front of him, forming a long sword, and Su Jue pointed the sword at Theresa.
"It seems that we have to use force to resolve this issue in the end."
However, although Su Jue was fighting with them on the surface, his actual target was Tonatiuh.
While the others were concentrating on the battle, he directly detonated all the sea sand and quietly took away Tonatiuh, who had lost the ability to resist.
The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, leaving only Hyperion, which had suffered heavy losses, on the entire battlefield.
Chapter 155: Su Jue's identity as a hermit is revealed
After the attack, Theresa almost declared bankruptcy, but compared to the financial loss, what was more difficult to accept was the departure of her companions.
A whole day has passed since Rosalia was taken away, and Lilia has not woken up yet. Looking at Seele and Bronya who are frowning all day long, she, as the principal, is helpless.
However, after the incident was over, some clues were slowly found.
"According to the information provided by Bronya, when we arrived at Haiyuan City, she and the Arlene sisters saw a green-haired boy, and he suddenly disappeared in front of several people. Bronya speculated that it was some kind of projection technology, but in my opinion, it is more like some kind of ability of the Key of God."
"The Key of God that can make people disappear..." She quickly recalled the information about the Key of God in her mind, but after comparing them one by one, she ruled them all out. Theresa frowned and thought, wondering if there was any information she had missed.
"No, it's not disappearing." Just as Theresa was talking to Einstein, Bronya pushed open the door of the conference room. "It's a projection, a projection of consciousness."
Bronya nodded towards the two and explained, "Lilia is awake and Seele is taking care of her. I found this and some hidden information in her."
She pushed the ordinary-looking shell in front of the two of them, and with a flick of her finger, the Heavy-duty Rabbit projected the photo of the shell directly onto the wall.
It’s just that the photo has obviously been processed. After multiple levels of magnification, some textures have become clear.
"This shell is the key. I magnified it a thousand times and did not find any mineral elements on it. Instead, I found some silk-like patterns. Rather than calling it a shell, it is more like some kind of extremely sophisticated structure."
"To put it more bluntly, it's a circuit board. There's no doubt that the person who built it must be a genius." Her tone revealed a little excitement. After coming into contact with the Ruler of Reason Gem, Bronya's interest in the structure of objects increased significantly. "He hid his consciousness in these lines. He only needs a little energy to stimulate himself and he can appear in front of others."
“But is there any connection with the Key of God?” Theresa still couldn’t understand the relationship. Although she knew the information about the Key of God, she had only come into contact with a small part of it.
