"what!"
"It's useless. You're still too immature. Let's grow up a little more."
"My benefactor, I am sorry. I cannot just sit there and do nothing about little Angie!"
The familiar burning flames spread across the sky, but at the same time, tens of thousands of golden sword auras filled the sky, creating an exaggerated wave like a sea of swords.
Walter had been watching from a distance.
Driving away the three people in battle would be extremely difficult for others, but for Walter and Ningdi, it was just a matter of maintaining a repulsive force away from the East China Sea Base, which was quite easy.
Walter is very satisfied with this job because he can pay attention to Angie's movements and drag Angie away from danger once the situation gets out of control.
'You didn't expect this, did you, Cocolia?'
Walter couldn't help but suspect that Cocolia intended him to look after Angel.
In his current impression, Cocolia is indeed cruel when she needs to be, but she will never harm innocent people if possible - such as Anna, who is still alive and well in the East China Sea base, and the siblings Chen Tianwu and Chen Tianwen who were rescued from the battlefield, are typical examples.
"Joachim, be careful, something powerful is coming. Chiyou told me that she is very scared."
Walter was stunned for a moment while thinking, and felt Ningdy's warm little hand holding him, so he gently shook it back, then looked up at the sky.
"Sword God!"
The spiritual powers from Ji Lin and A Lin were superimposed on each other, transforming into a majestic phantom with fluttering robes and moving aura, as if it was taller than the sky.
"With this sword, please stop the war!"
"Boom!"
The enormous golden Xuanyuan sword, seemingly real and unreal, pierced through the dome and instantly separated the massive amount of destructive energy that originally filled the battlefield.
Obviously, from a pure energy perspective, Walter knew that this was far inferior to the Planetary Dividing Sword before the Skyfire, but he felt another terrifying threat that was completely no less powerful.
"The unique skills of Taixu Mountain, inherited by the Red Iris Immortal?"
Those ancient Chinese legends were known to Destiny and Anti-Entropy. Walter even fought alongside this force in Siberia. Although he had only heard of its sword but never seen its person, he was still impressed.
Walter looked towards the battlefield, but saw Tianhuo infinitely enlarge the flaming sword in his hand, obviously ready for battle, while Angel fell down.
"That's right, this kind of confrontation is not something you can participate in, Anqi."
Walter sighed softly, pulled Angie's unconscious body over, held her in his hands, and then looked towards the final moment of victory or defeat with a hint of anticipation.
At the moment of collision, infinite brilliance illuminated the East China Sea, even more eye-catching than the setting sun slowly sinking on the horizon.
Walter was also forced to look away.
It's not that the naked eye can't bear that kind of light, but the spiritual energy emitted by the Great Void Sword God is as sharp as a sword, penetrating into the spiritual soul level. Even he has no way to deal with this kind of power and can only retreat.
After a while, Walter felt that the situation had calmed down and turned his attention to the battlefield again.
But what I saw was the breathless girl in yellow clothes and a phoenix crown, standing against the small doll holding a flame.
But Walter clearly saw that the flames on Tianhuo's hands were flickering and his body was shaking slightly.
"Strange. I'm a mechanical life form. Theoretically, I shouldn't be harmed by mental attacks..."
"Maybe, maybe the benefactor also has a soul? Just like Xiao Xuan, he is a real person."
"Can real consciousness and spirit be born in machines? This is a topic that has never been imagined. Even the ancient civilizations have never studied it. No, it should be said that it is too late to study it. But it seems that we can only stop here today. You won, and you deserve praise."
Tianhuo said this without any joy or sadness.
Even though he then floated into the ocean, there was no sign of panic or fear on his face.
Of course there can be souls in machines.
Otherwise, how did the will of erosion spread? How did Angel's clone live in Titan?
There is no need to study this topic, An Qi already knows the answer. At least in this world the answer is clear.
Chapter 200 Gray Snake: I deserve to die!
The conflict ended with Walter handing Angel over to the damaged Hyperion, Delta and Wendy taking the Serenity Gem into the deep sea to transfer it, and Skyfire falling into the sea and disappearing.
The subsequent impact is extremely wide-ranging.
For example, in North America, the American government, which had once relied on the anti-entropy triumvirate to get more and more aggressive (being honest and easy to bully), has suddenly become much more honest. The cooperation funds (protection fees) that should have been paid this year have been doubled and paid in advance, and all kinds of voices clamoring for technology sharing have suddenly disappeared.
For example, Tachibana Yuki's ruling position in the Far East became increasingly unshakable. The capitalists and dignitaries of all sizes who had originally complained about her making huge profits and supplying them to Saint Freya and the East China Sea Base soon stopped complaining even in private, and knelt down one by one with great grace and obedience.
Things are fine in Europe, they have always treated Otto very well, and after this time everything will be back to normal.
On the third day after the Battle of the East Sea, Delta, who had been lost (dating) for several times in the ocean with Wendy, finally brought the intact Serenity Gem to Otto, showing her absolute loyalty.
Therefore, Otto summoned all the S-class Valkyries together and held a summary meeting to discuss the incident.
"呷~~"
"oops--"
The movement of the Archbishop drinking tea and Delta's wailing while reading in her wheelchair are intertwined in the spacious and warm office.
“The year-end bonus will be doubled.”
"Uh... Oops..."
"Three times. The extra one is a personal token of my gratitude for bringing back the Serenity Stone. It means a lot to me. Thank you."
"It is my duty to serve the Archbishop. How can I say thank you?"
Delta sat up straight, righteously opened the thermos cup, and poured herself some nourishing wolfberry tea.
Three seconds later, she looked suspiciously at Wendy who was standing beside her.
"Why don't you hit me?"
"…Behave yourself and don't make trouble."
Wendy patted Delta's head helplessly.
The horrific wound that pierced through her chest was still vivid in her mind. No matter how much Wendy disliked this kind of reckless greed, she couldn't bear to do anything to Delta.
Besides, she has actually been reflecting on herself these past few days.
No matter what kind of danger Delta is in, she always puts protecting Wendy first and regards her as the most important person in her life.
On the contrary, Wendy has been forcing Delta to fulfill her duties as a Valkyrie and forcing her to go to extremely dangerous battlefields.
'Am I really worthy of Delta's cherishment?'
Girls' hearts are always sensitive, changeable and unreasonable.
After that ambiguous relationship was revealed, Wendy's colleague position disappeared and was replaced by the position of best friend and lover.
From this perspective, she was a terrible scumbag in the past and completely let down Delta's deep affection.
"Ugh……"
Wendy sighed in a depressed tone.
Delta drank wolfberry tea and blinked in confusion, totally unaware of Wendy's self-pity. She could only lie down and continue to be a salted fish, silently waiting for Wendy to recover.
"All in all, Cocolia played a good game this time."
Otto turned his eyes away from the young couple and opened his mouth to give a general assessment of the incident.
Everyone pricked up their ears, quieted down, and listened to Otto's analysis.
"Destiny has suppressed Anti-Entropy for a long time, so this time, when the Titan flew out of the gate of Sky Island, they had already won too much."
"In terms of results, we had the biggest setback ever, and Anti-Entropy had almost no losses."
"The worst part is that she has returned the Serenity Stone. Now the terrifying World Serpent will focus its attention on Destiny. From a rational point of view, I can no longer mobilize a large force to punish her."
"Once destiny is silent, the woman who slapped us hard will transform all the internal and external pressures of more than half a century into her own reputation."
"The biggest winner is Cocolia, without a doubt."
Otto took a sip of tea and spoke slowly and calmly, seeming to have no temper at all.
Aren't you angry?
How is that possible!
After being a chess player for five hundred years, his chessboard was suddenly disrupted by a passerby whom he had never even looked at before. He lost face and the situation was in chaos. It would be strange if he didn't want to kill the person!
But after getting angry, Otto finally put his plan in the only unshakable position.
His only choice is to preserve his strength, keep the gems, and continue to promote the Xilin plan.
"It's my fault. Next time, I will never let the bishop down again!"
Yulandel said solemnly, her beautiful face revealed a will as strong as steel.
This is Yulandel.
Although her failure was hard to imagine, it was not impossible. But her giving up was unimaginable no matter how hard I tried.
Otto knew that Yulandel would turn failure into food for her growth, and then the next time she attacked, she would be more perfect, ready to die and never retreat.
"I've always trusted you. Come on, but make sure you get enough rest. Keep an eye on Rita and don't let her collapse in the training room."
"Yes, Lord Otto."
The two looked at each other with smiles.
Yulandel hesitated to speak, trying to tell everyone that she was not a fool and that no matter how much she worked out she would not lose her mind. However, she also thought that doing so might seem a bit childish, so she held back, kept a straight face, and said nothing.
"Ha! That being said, our loss is only in terms of face. The truly important things are the Valkyries sitting here and the gemstone that contains the power of the Herrscher. You are all still here, so you can accept the other things and don't take them too seriously."
Otto smiled comfortingly and looked around at the S-rank Valkyries sitting on the sofa.
Rita ignored that her role was not in the high-level battlefield.
Needless to say, Yulandel will become more courageous and faithfully carry out her orders.
As for Delta, although she has been defeated twice including this time, the first time she first stabilized the sea surface and controlled Chiyou, which consumed a lot of energy, and she also had a battle with Walter. In the end, she was defeated by the abnormal Ningdi. It was really a crime not caused by war; and the second time, facing the skyfire, it goes without saying. It would be strange if she won.
Otto did not doubt Delta's power, nor did he need to worry about Delta's loyalty. This artificial law-maker who might not even care about her own life and death was actually easier to control than Yulandel.
Then Otto looked at Yaesakura, and seeing her gentle posture with her sword in her arms and her head lowered, he couldn't help but frown.
"Sakura, I have absolutely no experience with the treatment of the Divine Key. Although I have awakened you by injecting Houkai energy, I am still not sure about the aftereffects. How have you been these past two days?"
"Mr. Otto, I'm fine. I'm just sorry that I wasn't able to help at all. I will continue to tap into the power of the Jizo Soul, and I hope it will be useful next time."
Yaesakura smiled softly and twisted her fingers shyly.
However, there is neither the loss after defeat nor the fear after almost dying once.
Otto held his forehead, knowing that she was similar to Delta, with almost no attachment to the world. The only reason she was still alive in a human form was because someone expected her to do so.
Otto was sure that, thanks to the relationship he had with Karin, Yaezakura would still risk her life for him with a smile the next time.
But, do I really need to use my relationship with Karin like this?
This is undoubtedly what Otto resists the most, and it is even a complete taboo for him.
"Sakura, you..."
"Hmm? What does Mr. Otto want to say?"
"Forget it. There are still many troubles to deal with later. You should just rest for a few more days. I hope that scary big snake can stay quiet for a few more days."
Otto spread his hands and smiled nonchalantly.
Although it may seem a little unserious, as a leader, this kind of relaxed demeanor at all times is undoubtedly reassuring.
……
"Can you do it, Jackal?"
"Shut up! I hate it when someone tells me I'm no good! Am I a scientist or are you a scientist? Stupid snake!"
The Jackal casually threw the pen away, and with such force it penetrated completely into the Gray Snake's mechanical chest.
The gray snake's mechanical eyes flashed, and its body fell to the ground with a bang.
Then another gray snake came in and watched the jackal playing with Skyfire without saying a word.
It was a waste to lose a body like this, but the gray snake understood the jackal's impatience. He had been busy for days and nights, and if destroying a body could allow the jackal to vent his impatience and improve the efficiency of repair, the gray snake thought it was worth it.
"I am most troubled by this spiritual problem! The ancient civilization did not leave much useful research data. I have never studied it before, so I am completely at a loss! Didn't you say that Taixu Mountain would not help?"
