Chapter 172
Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
"...Hmph, now that I say this, do you think I will believe it?" Yuna turned her face away and ignored him, which made him a little nervous and a little funny, but still couldn't help but want to turn the topic back: "Are we now discussing the incident where you spied on me a year ago?"
"That's the teacher's fault for not closing the door!"
"Everyone forgets to close the door. It's no big deal, right? And I won't hold you accountable."
"I'm going to hold the teacher accountable!"
"You forgot what you promised four years ago? You're going to marry me, and you still care about this kind of thing??"
"That...that's two different things!"
"No, it's all the same thing if you're married,"
"Is this what Qiuzi said about sexual harassment?" Youna looked suspicious, but Luo Mo said seriously: "I have never heard of sexual harassment against my fiancee, even if there is such a thing, it must not be. break the law."
"I probably.... I gave myself to a strange person..." The strange statement made the girl's face look a little uneasy, and Luo Mo also showed a sinister smile in cooperation:
"It's not wrong to say that, but it's too late to regret it~"
"...I'm a little uneasy, but I won't regret it."
"Is that so? I think you can regret it a little..."
"why?"
"That way I can compensate you."
"compensate?"
"Yes~ compensation."
He smiled mysteriously, and then pointed upwards in Yuna's curious eyes. It was about Qianjing's room and said, "Qianjing, I'll leave it to you."
"...Huh? What? Qianjing?"
"Anyway, you will be very lonely by yourself, then I will give you Qianjing to be your sister. It must be great to use it as a pillow at night. Well, although she is very insecure, it is most likely that you are used as a pillow. But even if it's used as a pillow..."
"...?? Wait, wait!...Teacher, what are you talking about?"
Yuna subconsciously reached out her hand to interrupt his speech. It seemed that she sensed something was wrong. There was a rare expression of anxiety on her face.
"...Give Qianjing to me? What does this mean?...The teacher's statement is simply like..."
"Don't you take this as a last word or something? It doesn't mean too much. It's not a good thing to over-understand. Don't worry, I can't die. Even if it's a last word, it's because I listen to other people's last words."
"... Obviously not an angel?"
"Even if it's not an angel, it's better than you. The most important thing is that I'm an adult, so you can leave everything to me at ease."
"But... Ball and Kyo are no longer there..."
Yuna expressionlessly tensed her still immature face, as if she wanted to hide her feelings as much as possible, but from the fingertips that never let go of him, still trembling, there was clearly a sense of unease that couldn't be hidden.
"What else do I have to worry about? Feel free to leave everything to me. Although it is different from you, it is not a hero, nor a hero or even an angel, but I can still protect just a few children."
"..."
Luo Mo kept stroking the girl's short hair, trying her best to soothe her emotions.
The girl with hesitant eyes looked up at him and was about to say something, but in the end she gave up what she wanted to say, and nodded lightly with her usual smile as much as possible.
There was absolutely no way he could think of it, and now he reminded Yuna of being trapped in Nara four years ago—because he was almost the same as she was four years ago, no matter what he said or did.
At that time, she was almost completely cornered and completely lost her hopes for the future.
On the last night, Luo Mo and Youna chatted outside for a long time.
In addition to serious topics, there are also rather boring topics, future topics, and even topics before encounters.
It wasn't until the sky in the distance shimmered that Yuna couldn't bear the sleepiness and gave up and continued to stay up all night. She climbed onto Qianjing's bed under Luo Mo's guidance and hugged Qianjing, who was drowsy. Then fell asleep.
Switched multiple angles on the side, took quite a few photos of the two girls, and finally touched the pink faces of the two girls a little, and he basically adjusted with these pleasant "entertainment". In a good mood, I stopped and left this room when the girls were about to wake up. The priests and priestesses who had been waiting at the entrance of Penglai City for a long time came to the headquarters of the Taisha shrine in the deep mountains.
In the early morning, the forest was filled with thick moisture.
The lens of the priest with glasses on the side is covered with fog, and every now and then there will be a drop dripping down. It looks a little funny.
It's a pity that the clergy around him are too serious, and the rigid and solemn atmosphere created makes him a little disappointed.
Fortunately, the person he needs to talk to is not these stereotyped clerics, but...a towering tree.
[You, why are you here? ]
The moment he put his hand on it, it automatically sounded in his mind, as if countless people gathered together to form a chorus.
[ask a question. ]
[ask. ]
[Why do you do this for mankind? Actually, many of the people here are not your believers, right? ]
[The strong protect the weak, and God protects the believers and their descendants. This is a matter of course. ]
[You are a little too good for humans, right? ]
[I just try my best. ]
Without a confused voice, Luo Mo was really a little resigned.
I really don't know if it's a character or a moral disparity. It's a bit of a jealousy. Although he has never forced his character to be better than anyone else, he is not interested in exploring his own moral bottom line. Where.
It's not bragging, but if he really wants to compare with others, he is sure that his winning rate is worrying.
Of course, he didn't want to talk about such boring things, so after talking about the attitude of the divine tree to humans, he entered the topic at the right time and said:
[In this case, you must be trying to protect humans, right? ]
[Exactly. ]
[But this is not a solution. Sooner or later, human beings will be finished. You should also know it? ]
[Everything has a beginning and an end. ]
[Ah~ Don't be so literary and artistic, instead of continuing to live in this gap, I actually prefer to fight to the death. ]
[I have been defeated. ]
[I know this, but if you continue, it will be a defeat. It is better to live with a slow death than to… ]
Before he could finish the words in his heart, the priests and priestesses around him suddenly screamed in horror.
Before he could scold him, there was a violent churning sound from the other side of the sea, and when he looked at it subconsciously, he opened his mouth unconsciously.
The earth was shaking, the sea was turbulent, and the world was drowned in a horrific sound of dissonance in the blink of an eye.
Looking into the distance from the top of this sacred mountain, you can clearly see countless pillars of light descending from the sky to the sea, and the water begins to swirl with the pillar of light as the center, and then a huge flame that surpasses the sun rises from the horizon.
The flames continued to expand and swell, as if endlessly expanding, directly drowning the sun rising from the east, and then the entire sky was also engulfed.
Looking around, the other side of the sky and the sea level was engulfed by flames, and the bright red earth was still creeping creepily, as if strange lava covered the former ocean.
Countless bright red flames spewed out of the lava like a vast fountain, creating a large number of red bridges.
Everything that was once across the sea, everything, disappeared in this brief moment.
Even if he activated the technique in his pupils, he could not see anything other than flames, star debris, and constellations. Only the island of Shikoku and some of the ocean around it still maintained its original appearance, and at the next moment— —
Really, very abrupt.
The sea of fire that swept the world disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, and the outside world returned to its original appearance.
Everything is the same as it has never happened, the sun is still rising as usual, and the bridge halfway outside the enchantment also restores the scene of the previous moment.
The blue ocean is still full of vitality, without a trace of haze, let alone any flames.
"What was just... hallucination?" Luo Mo stared blankly at everything in the distance, and became less able to believe his eyes, but Shenshu also gave a different answer at this time, and solemnly corrected. :
[Now is the hallucination. ]
Chapter 22 Facilitates the decisive battle: God and "Angel"
"Aha....?"
The divine tree's answer was too outrageous, so that Luo Mo's head couldn't turn around.
[The god of the sky has changed the laws of the world, the outside world can no longer survive, and this is the last fortress. ]
[....Are you serious? what's the situation? ]
...Even if it is hard to believe, the previous scene and vibrations are not like hallucinations, so he can only ask the Divine Tree as detailed as possible, what is going on.
The divine tree did not hide it, and told everything calmly.
Just like what I said before, everything in the outside world is caused by the gods rewriting the laws of the world. The reason why they do this is to completely cut off the possibility of human beings to regain their territory.
The reason why the Shikoku is still fine now is also because the divine tree protects this place and completely isolates everything in the barrier from the outside world, thus avoiding the tragedy of being slaughtered all at once.
But this also means slow death. Even if the Divine Tree has recovered somewhat in the past four years, if it keeps resisting those flames, it means that the power will continue to be consumed.
Moreover, He also needs to take care of everything in the small independent world of the four kingdoms. Except for the resistance to flames, everything that constitutes life, such as sunlight, rain and dew, will be borne by Him.
This kind of energy expenditure is terrifying. Even the power of the gods will always be exhausted one day. When that day comes, the sacred tree will dry up and die... The land of Shikoku will also turn into lava and spit out high-temperature flames.
To put it simply, the moment the Divine Tree dies from exhaustion, it may not take a second for the next moment, and all human beings will be wiped out.
.................
.................
The truth revealed by the divine tree was even more astonishing than what Luo Mo imagined, and it made him really unbelievable.
But.... the divine tree has no reason to deceive him.
So he closed his eyes and took a moment to sort through his chaotic thoughts to accept the exaggerated status quo, and asked, "Are you ready to just wait for a slow death?"
[What do you mean? ]
"I don't plan to fight it in the end? Now that they rewrite the laws of the world, they must have consumed a lot."
[Nevertheless, the gods of the sky are not unprepared, and even if you use my power, you will not be able to win. ]
"What if you don't do the calculations and lend me all your current power?"
[If you are defeated, mankind will be destroyed. ]
"Instead of slow death and possible life, I would rather give it a try." Luo Mo no longer just communicated mentally, but deliberately said it so that the clergy around him could really hear:
"—Sit and wait! Sooner or later, it will be death. It's better to let it go. Even if you die, you can die with glory, instead of gnawing at you like a moth, and burying you together after you die."
And his words can be said to be a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, causing the expressions of the clergy around them to change:
"We... are worms?"
"Master Shenshu's... borers?"
"Indeed.... it's us that dragged down the god tree..."
......
Being a drag on the object of belief is a fatal blow to religious believers, and it is also the most taboo thing for believers.
But he also deliberately muttered at this time: "If the tree of gods dies, even the kingdom of gods will disappear, and then all believers will really only be wiped out. The Divine Tree of Extinction can maintain its own existence to some extent, but the price is to let human beings perish early, so..."
"—Let's fight!"
"Lord Angel! Let's fight!"
"We fought with the gods!"
"Yes! Fight!!"
"Lord God Tree! Please let us die in the right place!!"
Originally still planning, the six most divine witches were selected for sacrifice at the fire sacrifice, and the priests who prayed to the gods to take back their anger are now more excited than each other, and all the doves have directly turned into the toughest hawks. .
.... This big club is really no different from a cult.
Looking at the intensely emotional inviters, Luo Mo didn't know whether he should sigh about how foolish they were or what to sigh.
[Even using such a trick... You, do you just want to fight? ]The overly simple but easy-to-use strategy made the voice of the god tree feel like a sigh: [Among the brave men, only you can bear, our strength, but this also means that you have to go deep into the enemy camp and face the sky. God. ]
[What I hate the most is fighting, but if this matter is not resolved, I can't leave. ]
[Like humans, do you like to prefer young girls? ]
For some reason, Shenshu talked about a topic that was far from the atmosphere at the scene and what the two discussed earlier.
