In the Command post on the ground of the Cossack Army Base, Antony shakily ran into the hall. Suddenly, he stumbled and fell onto a dead body on the ground. Antony couldn't help but cough out a small mouthful of blood. He wiped his mouth, struggled to get up, and jogged out of Command post.
Right at the moment when Zero expelled Antony's mental attack in the underground layer base, as the person who initiated the attack, Antony personally experienced the pain of the backlash. After the spiritual attack was forcibly expelled from the The World of Consciousness, it followed the natural connection between the users and fiercely stabbed into Antony's The World of Consciousness like an iron pillar.
This immediately caused Antony to suffer heavy injuries. Although as the power sponsor, the attack power he received was much weaker than zero, it still caused Antony to enter a state of unconsciousness for a few seconds. When Antony smoothed out the wounds on his consciousness, although he had regained his ability to move, the damage done to his ability had permanently decreased by one order. This caused him to be bone-deep in hatred, but he had completely forgotten who launched the attack first.
Antony escaped from the Command post, and the world above him was covered in snow. The blizzard had stopped, but a snowdrift three meters above the surface was more dangerous than a blizzard. They emit strong radiation all the time, and the way they pile up makes it harder for the radiation in the snow to evaporate. As a result, even though Antony was inside the tactical suit, when he was outside, he immediately felt dizzy and disgusted.
He immediately adjusted the defense of Nocturnal's tactical suit, causing the sense of disgust in his heart to gradually disappear. Looking at the vast expanse of land in front of him, Antony felt like he had nowhere to go. The Asgard could not go back, even if he did not die now, but after going back, with no one in contact with the Asgard, he would not be able to find any job. But now, Zero was dead. After returning to Asgard and graduating, Zero would not be able to compete with him in terms of both power and power.
Suddenly, he looked towards the north. Antony gritted his teeth and decided to return to the wilderness on the coastline to earn a living.
Not long after Antony left, a line of zeroes followed the strange beasts that continuously surged out of the exit and left the Command post. The army of mutated beasts that were constantly fleeing the underground base of the Cossack Country had already attracted the attention of the Asgard. For such a large group of mutated beasts to flee into the wilderness, it would definitely not be a good thing for the foreign races that maintained friendly relations with the Asgard, or the Asgard itself.
Thus, in the Asgard, the army of the "Shield of Dawn" that belonged to the God of Light Badr came out from the Asgard. Shield of Dawn s only had around seven hundred members, making them the second smallest legion in Asgard after the Hammer of Destruction. Among the seven hundred members, a hundred of them had light element Su Adepts with an average level of around the fifth step, while the rest were guards, logistics, and other personnel of these Adepts.
With one Element Domain Capable and six other members, they formed a small team. These hundred teams formed an army with strong defense. They were known as the strongest shields in the Asgard. Even in the war thirty years ago, the defense line made up of Shield of Dawn s had not been broken!
Now, the Shield of Dawn was acting as a guide to the flood of strange creatures. From a high altitude, it could be seen that the Shield of Dawn's members had surrounded the Cossack base, but they had purposely exposed a gap in the southwest corner. Under the protection of the guards, the Meteor Shower from the Meteor Shower rained down upon the mutated beasts, forcing them back. In the end, they had no choice but to flee in the same direction.
To the southwest, there was also the Shadow God Loki's army, "Dark Blades' Tip", monitoring and controlling it along the way to ensure that the flood of strange creatures was far away from the Julian Mountains and the Frozen Plateau to the west. As for what kind of changes this army of mutated beasts would bring to the wilderness in the southwest, or even to the coastal cities in the southern region, it was no longer within the Asgard's consideration.
However, the vast wilderness that spanned tens of thousands of miles was like an endless sea. Although there were many beasts, they could only cause a few large waves in this sea.
Chapter 266 - Graduation (IV)
When they left the Command post, all they saw was a magnificent scene of rain and light, and then falling towards the earth. However, when the crowd was within the painting, they didn't feel the slightest bit of pleasure. Regardless of whether it was the low level light energy bullets or the fifth step light rain laser skills, they all carried a fierce and ruthless aura. They steadily landed in the military base that had already turned into a battlefield, ruthlessly harvesting every single life that was the target of the skill.
Explosions of energy exploded as smoke and fire chased each other. The shockwave brought along a high temperature heat wave as it engulfed the entire base, causing the snow on the ground to begin to melt, turning into snow and merging into the ground. In this area contaminated by snow and water, not a single blade of grass would grow within ten years. At the very least, it would take fifty years before the amount of radiation would continue to decrease. However, this process could only be maintained for around thirty years. After thirty years, the amount of radiation would remain at a relatively low value, but it would be very difficult to completely dissipate within a short period of time.
Compared to the pollution from the snow water, the damages brought by the attacks from the various light element Su were a little more direct. At long last, he had seen the special method of warfare of the new era. It was the attack of the swarm of capable people. Different from the hot weapon attack mode of the old era, the ones with powers, especially those with powers from the Meteor Realm, would have a stronger destructive power and a more accurate hit rate.
Although Shield of Dawn s were good at defense, this did not mean that they were bad at offense. On the contrary, their best defense was to attack. Under the control of this concept, the Shield of Dawn s continued to attack without any gaps. At every moment, Su would use her skills on the battlefield to kill or control the beasts to leave the attacking area.
If one looked carefully, it was not difficult to see that the Shield of Dawn was not randomly attacking without a goal in mind. Hundreds of espers were carefully controlling the location of their skills, using the increasing pressure to force the beasts in the base to move towards the gap that was purposely created.
But unfortunately, as the main exit of the underground base, the Command post on the surface was the place where the Shield of Dawn had to take care of. The moment they stepped out of Command post's gates, they were attacked from every direction. At this time, Eva could no longer afford to be lazy. With the heavy sword in his hand, each slash contained a tremendous amount of power. In fact, the black dragon's flame blades created streams of fire elemental energy that continuously detonated the light energy bullets that were aimed at their heads.
But as a result, the Shield of Dawn kept increasing the pressure. When the rain of light lasers arrived, even Eva's expression could not help but slightly change.
She was good at attacking, not defending. If it was just killing all the attackers, Eva could easily give himself an additional energy position to withstand the threat of the light rain laser and break through by force. As long as she got close to these people, would only need a short amount of time to swing her sword to defeat those who were at the fifth step.
But now that she had to protect everyone, the situation was different. Thinking that he was not good at defense, Eva glared at Feng fiercely, if this guy with the God's hand was willing to attack, then the rain of light was nothing.
However, Feng's face was filled with shock, as if the sky had been shocked by the scene of hundreds of laser beams hitting. It could even be said that there was no intention at all to attack du
ring the show, which left Eva with no choice but to curse in his heart. However, the heavens did not seem to want Eva to do it. Just as the rain of light arrived, a silver light screen that was enough to cover the area a hundred meters above the group appeared out of nowhere.
When the hundreds of lasers landed on this curtain of light, the curtain of light was like a calm lake. No matter how fast the raindrops fell, they could only cause ripples on the surface of the lake. In the eyes of Eva and Feng, they clearly sensed that when the light rain and light rain landed on the light curtain, the energy would be neutralized, absorbed, and directed.
[Holy Barrier], a defensive skill of the seventh step that could neutralize and absorb energy. But generally speaking, the Holy Barrier was only about ten meters wide and wide. However, the barrier right in front of him was about a hundred meters wide. The energy within was like a tide, dense like a fortress that could not be broken, yet it made Eva and the other two speechless.
"Are you guys okay?" A gentle voice came from the battlefield. Even the loud explosions could not cover up the penetrating power of the voice, but the voice was strange and gentle.
If Valkyrie's voice could be said to be reminiscent of the winter wind, then this voice would make people feel the warmth of the autumn sun.
A figure appeared within the battlefield. It was a tall man. He had soft dark golden hair, and beneath it was a handsome face with deep contours. The corner of his mouth seemed to always have a faint smile on it, just like his voice, giving people a feeling of gentleness. The young man wore the Shield of Dawn uniform. With the snow-white robe and the military uniform's style of design, he gave off a strong and sturdy feeling.
The leader of the Shield of Dawn, the God of Light, Badr, had just walked through the flames of war, but there was not a single spot on his body that was tainted by it. When he said the first word, it was still hundreds of meters away. When he said the last word, he had already arrived at the side of Zero and the others. He did not display the extreme speed brought about by his high level of agility. Badr seemed more like he was walking, but each of his steps were dozens of meters wide, giving off an indescribable feeling.
When they arrived at their sides, Badr snapped his fingers, and the Holy Light barrier above their heads immediately disappeared. However, there were no attacks, even if it was a single light bullet that landed near them. This was because the commander's aura told all the Shield of Dawn that none of them were the target of attack. Therefore, the surroundings were still filled with the intense light and loud sounds of explosions. However, within a hundred meter radius, there were no attacks.
Badr pointed to the sky, and a burst of light energy shot up into the sky, and then exploded. Not long after, a group of Shield of Dawn soldiers arrived.
Looking at these soldiers, Badr said to the few of them, "New soldiers, this place no longer has anything to do with you, quickly leave the battlefield and return."
Without waiting for Badr's instructions, the Shield of Dawn's soldiers had already received the zero from Ma Pei's hands and placed him on a war stretcher. Su Ling, who was lying on the stretcher, looked at Badr and said, "Fifth floor … In five-tier base, Valkyrie and Instructor Callio were still there! "
"Don't worry, I'll keep them safe." Badr said gently, and told the soldiers that were under him: "Take care of them."
Thus, Zero lay on the stretcher and left the military base. He looked up at the sky. He could clearly see the interweaving lights, which made the entire sky look so magnificent.
"It's like I'm dreaming."
Zero stretched out his hand, as if he was going to touch all the light and shadows in the sky. However, he slowly lowered his hand halfway. He fell into a deep sleep, and just as Badr had said, his battle had temporarily ended. But now, what Zero needed more was rest.
After falling into a deep sleep, his injured body was recovering at an alarming rate. At the same time, he recovered his spirit and energy.
This time, he slept soundly. There was no dream, only darkness.
The process of darkness seemed very long, and also very short. It felt like only a second had passed, but it also felt like a century had passed. He did not know how much time had passed before he heard an old voice saying something in a daze.
At first the voice was indistinct, but as his consciousness became clearer, every word that the voice spoke entered his ears.
"... These lights were arranged in the sky and shone on the ground. Manage day and night, night and light. God looks good. There is a night, there is a morning, and it is the fourth day … "
When Zero opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a ceiling made of square aluminum plates. His gaze moved across the ceiling and fell on the whitewashed walls. There was an incandescent lamp blinking on the wall. There was a man who looked like an electrician changing the lamp. Zero continued moving his line of sight, all of his senses were so sluggish. Usually, his actions, which had already reached his level of mastery, now went from his brain to his body, delaying him by a whole 0.3 seconds. Less than a second was enough for most people to ignore, but it could not fool the mind of zero.
Shifting his gaze to the left, Zero saw a temporary medical vehicle. In the car were various drugs of various sizes, including two injections of unknown effect. Next to the cart was a chair with an old man sitting on it. The old man's hair had turned a little gray. He wore glasses and looked through them at a book with a black cover on his knees.
As if sensing that Zero had awoken, the old man lifted his head, revealing Ben's signature nose of alcohol.
Ben lowered his head and let his glasses hang slightly down the bridge of his nose. Ben looked past his glasses and onto Zero. He patted the book on his body and smiled. "Looks like I woke you up."
"The Bible?" Zero asked.
"What about the Creation of the Old Testament?" Ben pointed out the origin of what he had just said.
Zero shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I just didn't expect you to have faith."
"If you don't have faith, you'll find how painful it is to live in this maddening world." Ben smiled, then asked, "Do you have faith? "Zero?"
Zero remained silent. There was no affirmation, nor was there any negation.
The ward quietened down. After a while, Zero took the lead and asked, "Why are you here? As the ruler of the Asgard, you shouldn't have the time to waste on me. "
"Don't say that, I'm just an old man visiting a friend right now." He closed the Bible and placed it on the edge of Zero's bed. "Take a look at it when you're free. Maybe you'll find your faith."
Zero did not refuse, and Ben, who knew him well, knew that this meant zero accepting his good intentions. Ben smiled and said, "Actually, other than visiting you this time, I also want to tell you a piece of good news after you wake up."
"Congratulations, zero. From today onwards, you are a member of the Asgard, a regular soldier of the Doomhammer. At the same time, you are also a warrior. " Ben said nonchalantly, as if he were saying something inconsequential, but he said something that would excite any recruit.
Chapter 267 - Rebirth Plan (I)
In Alistair's military system, the lowest rank were the warriors, who were around the third step. And the one after that was a brave warrior. Warriors' abilities were usually around the fifth step, but not every warrior of the fifth step would gain the qualification to become a warrior. Only the brave warriors of Asgard could gain this honor. As for the warrior class, it meant that they had a relatively free rights in the Asgard, and could own their own personal property, including a house, wife and children.
If he could level up through missions and achievements, then he could become a Holy Spirit warrior. Holy Spirit were usually powerhouses of the eighth step. Not only could they own private property, they could also own troops, factories, and even own their own territory outside of Asgard. As for those who were a level higher, their power and authority would increase accordingly. It was just that up until now, there were onl
y five Sovereigns in the Asgard. In the thirty years of war, six of the seven Sovereigns in the Asgard had perished. During the next twenty years, the five new Sovereigns had been nurtured one after another. Until now, there had not been a sixth person that had obtained the honor of entering the Twelve Sovereigns' Halls.
But even if he was a warrior, he was still an identity that most people in Asgard envied. Even among the five legions, with the exception of the Doomhammer, whose members were all brave warriors, most of the soldiers at the bottom of the legions were of the warrior rank, and most of them were mere slaves.
Now that he knew that he had become a warrior, Zero's expression didn't change at all. It was as if power and identity were irrelevant to him.
Ben shook his head and said, "I've already approved your loan. You can go to the Ministry of Finance at any time to collect the money. However, I suggest that you bring the people and materials that you need to the Asgard. No matter what, the environment here is better than in other cities in the wilderness. "
The emotionless Zero finally changed. His indifferent gaze gradually became passionate. He nodded heavily at Ben and said, "Thank you."
"Nothing, this was something I promised you before. "Moreover, the money for the goods is not for free. Remember to return it to me."
"I know."
"Then that's it. When your injuries are all healed, scram to report to Hammer of Destruction." After saying this, Ben took his leave.
As soon as he left, Zero heard a few murmurs from outside. Following that, the door of the ward was pushed open, and Su who had changed into a casual attire pushed open the door and entered. She was holding a bouquet of flowers, more like hay than flowers. Although it was not as beautiful as the flowers of the old era, it was still rare to find such a wild flower in this era where everything was changing.
Su smiled as shsheplaced the wild flower beside Su Ling's bed. Then, she opened the door again, revealing Ma Pei and Feng. Feng was walking at the back, pushing the nurse, who had a mouth full of "patients need rest" out. Despite being so busy, he still had time to rub her buttocks, which looked ordinary but had a decent figure. The young nurse let out a soft cry, and looked at Feng with both complaint and joy.
