With that said, he did not care about Agatha's feelings anymore. Zero picked her up in his arms and activated all his agility, sending shadows flying into the forest to the west. After he left, the others also scattered in different directions.
From a high vantage point, one could see that the forest near the edge of Jodtenheim's residence was filled with figures. A large number of living corpse s and corpse beasts rushed into the forest, and under the orders of a certain consciousness, they gathered in front of the group of zero people, forming a circle around them. However, when the group of people split up, the pursuers also dispersed, splitting into several groups and still biting onto their tails without letting go.
All of these scenes appeared in a pair of gorgeous phoenix eyes that were as beautiful as the sky.
Jodtenheim was leaning against an active volcano. Black smoke permeated the volcano's crater all year long, erupting with blazing fire every now and then and bringing down boiling hot lava. Magma poured out of the crater and poured down the mountain like a waterfall, and when it came into contact with rocks and other things, it split apart, forming small tributaries that ran straight down to the foot of the mountain and then merged into a man-made channel that eventually flowed into a godly structure.
This was Jodtenheim's Dark Temple. Through a technique unique to the living corpse, they were able to differentiate and purify the lava, making it a pure energy that was sent through the teleportation channel outside the temple into various parts of the city.
From the sky, Jodtenheim's ground was pitch black. They were formed from pure black stone slabs. On the ground of the city, there was an energy transmission tube that started from the dark god temple beneath the volcano, and flowed through every corner of the city, as if painted with beautiful patterns on Jodtenheim's face. All over the transmission pipeline were buildings that had an ancient style. There were squares, minarets, pavilions …
No matter what kind of building it was, it was filled with the feeling of the Stone Age. Its appearance was simple, and it exuded an ancient aura. However, all of these buildings were dark red in color and were covered in dense black markings, giving off a very depressing feeling. And living in this ancient city, was not a human, but a variety of living corpse.
The energy transfer tubes that passed through the buildings would eventually arrive at the seat of the gigantic pillar in the middle of Jodtenheim's building, and place them into the black lines on the pillar. Every time energy waves passed by and rose again, it would create a scene that was similar to the one that was happening in front of them.
Chapter 311 - Lilith (II)
The base was a thousand meters wide. The column was three hundred feet high, with a platform at the top. On the platform was a dark temple, behind which stood a statue of a woman. This statue was ten meters tall and had a lifelike appearance. The woman raised her hands and held a baby in them. The baby looked like a human child, but its head was a terrifying skeleton.
The skeleton face and skeleton of the infant skeleton child were clearly visible. Both of his hands reached towards the sky, as if he wanted to capture something. Waves of red light that flew into the sky shot out from the baby statue's ten fingers.
The woman under the infant wore a long skirt. The skirt's creases were distinct, giving people a feeling of being blown by the wind when they looked at it. Under the skirt, countless male bodies overlapped, all reaching out to catch the woman. These male statues all had their faces turned up to the sky, but their faces were completely blank. Even so, it gave birth to a strong feeling that these men were all shouting angrily at the baby in the woman's hand.
The statue itself seemed to be filled with an intense, thought-provoking aura. However, no one knew why such a statue would be erected in the living corpse's territory.
At this time, a cold snort came from the temple in front of the statue.
Her voice was plain, but it carried an unparalleled dignity and had an incomparably strong penetrating force, as it spread far and wide, and covered the entire Jodtenheim!
Beneath it was a simple and unadorned temple, constructed of square strips that stretched to a hundred meters in length. In the center of the temple entrance lintel was a picture of the sun. However, above the sun, there was a clenched fist, symbolizing some kind of power.
The temple was incomparably dark, like a black hole. Occasionally, lightning would flash, as if it were another world. The interior of the temple was occasionally illuminated by the flashing electricity. In the moment of light, one could see that the temple was completely empty, and there was only one throne.
The throne's base was made up of countless skulls, while the seats on the base were filled with a cold skeleton. It was unknown what kind of huge beast's sternum was, but every bone was as thick as a person's leg. There was a tall and slender woman seated on a throne, and her countenance was extremely beautiful. His forehead was as big as an ordinary person's, and his eyebrows were slanted as he flew. Under her eyebrows were a pair of slender phoenix eyes. She should have been incomparably flirtatious. However, the pair of eyes was shaped like a diamond, and they were made up of countless hexahedron shapes, giving off a cold and merciless feeling.
The woman sat on the throne, wearing a long black dress. Her long hair was tied up, and she wore a crown made of thick white bones. There was a water diamond necklace around his neck, and the crystal drill was emitting a halo of energy. As the water drill collided with it, it lightly scattered countless star fragments. The stardust slowly drifted down, illuminating the woman's dress along the way. From the corner of his eye, he could see that the hem of the woman's skirt had become one with the platform as the light fell onto it and disappeared!
In the woman's pair of crystal eyes, if magnified millions of times, she could see that the countless hexagonal diamonds all had different images. In these countless images, at least one third of the images showed living corpse's weapons chasing after a few capable cultivators. These images were generated from different angles, as if a complete picture had been divided into several parts.
In the eyes of a woman, everything was clear.
"Insects, are you trying to hide things from my eyes? What a joke. " The woman sneered, her voice hollow and deep. It was also like the howling wind, causing people to not be able to hear it clearly.
She spoke softly in human language, then opened her mouth and let out a high-pitched whistle. Just like how the latent had informed her brethren to attack, through the sound waves that only the weapons of the living corpse could hear, the woman gave a few orders consecutively. In the eyes of the crystal, the movements of the living corpse's weapons changed once again.
At this moment, another lightning flashed in the temple and disappeared in the blink of an eye. However, as the lightning and fire brushed past the base of the throne, a row of beautiful fancy characters appeared in the light. It was a name.
Lilith.
This was a woman's name, she was the king of Jodtenheim!
Zero and Agatha were dashing through the forest. Zero was in front and Agatha was behind. But in general, she was much slower than someone who was running at full speed. After all, Agatha was not an expert in combat, so her Fighting Domain's strengthening was almost zero. In order to take care of her, Zero slowed down his footsteps and held Agatha's hand with one hand, in order to help her increase her speed.
But even so, Agatha was starting to look tired. They ran down a grassy slope, the trees rustling, the shadows everywhere, as if no one were chasing them. Zero stopped and said to Agatha: "Let's rest for a while."
Agatha nodded her head, her expression suddenly becoming serious: "They are here!"
As soon as his voice fell, hundreds of black shadows emerged from the grassy slope. He saw dozens of ordinary living corpse s, dozens of butcher and lacerator s, two Blaster s, three black corpse wolves and four executioners.
"What a luxurious lineup." At the same time, he raised his hands, and the automatic pist
ol gold warhawk on both sides of his thighs jumped into his hands.
Zero's gaze swept across the group of monsters and landed on the two Blaster s.
It was just a simple gaze, but it had caused the two Blaster to suddenly enter a state of combat. Zero had already conveyed his intention to them through his eyes. He wanted to kill these two Blaster s first.
Blaster's hands and feet seemed to fly, like a wolf and dog, they swept over the ground and stopped after running over the grass slope.
living corpse moved, and Zero did not stay idle. His speed was even faster as he practically brought with him a string of afterimages as he flew down the grassy slope. Agatha followed closely behind Zero. She knew that if they stayed too far away from her, she would be in danger due to the lack of powerful killing skills. But Agatha was not just one person, after releasing a soft light of energy from her hands, in the eyes of the many living corpse, she had lost the two of them.
At that moment, within the temple on top of the gigantic pillar in the center of Jodtenheim's body, Lilith who was seated on a throne sneered: "Small tricks!"
Following her laughter, the figures of those who had the ability once again appeared in the eyes of the numerous living corpse in the forest. However, from its disappearance to its reappearance, a period of time had passed. Or perhaps, this little bit of time was nothing at all, but when he instantly brushed past the Blaster, he suddenly caused the two living corpse s who were running past to bounce left and right. When the sound of gunshots rang out, living corpse's head exploded. He had been shot in the head by a golden eagle at close range.
Behind Zero, Agatha's face was filled with a strange expression. Just now, she had used "Perception Away" on Ling Chen and Ling Yun, causing their figures to be erased from living corpse's sight. But in just a short while, Agatha sensed an invisible ripple moving towards him through the air. It easily catalyzed her energy force field, causing the "Sensory Perception Shuttle" ability to disappear instantly.
But Zero, who was in the middle of his charge, didn't know much. Zero enters a strange state, and the world becomes both quiet and rich at the same time. The sunlight that passed through the gaps between the trees, the sound of the wind passing through the forest, and even the different types of movements made by the living corpse s with different radiations were all meticulously displayed in Zero's mind.
Huge amounts of data are reassembled and analyzed in an instant. A three-dimensional model of the environment appeared in Zero's mind. After these models were formed, a blurry symbol appeared in the depths of the pupil of the right eye. When the symbol appeared, Zero could vaguely sense what each of the living corpse's models would do next. It was based on the existing data and was deduced by a huge number of Innate Elder Su s. The result was a huge amount of conclusions and then filtered using a few different logic techniques.
However, this kind of data processing ability had already exceeded the limits of what the zero brain could achieve. Thus, this feeling swept past, and the symbols in his eyes flashed, then sank back into his pupils, disappearing without a trace.
There was not even a blink of an eye for this series of changes, but as one of the executioners spun toward zero, in that three-dimensional model in Zero's mind, he had deduced the best attack path.
Zero could not predict the opponent's movements, but could calculate his own attack pattern. This was the difference between a single person and a plural. Calculating his own movement was easier than calculating a hundred living corpse s.
Thus, in Agatha's eyes, Zero could be said to be a personal spear show.
He was like a human-shaped tornado as he charged into the group of living corpse, the golden eagle in his hands pointed left and right. Every time the muzzle was pointed, a living corpse would appear under the muzzle of Zero's gun. So Zero unceremoniously reaped every single living corpse, making them the real dead.
Making a dazzling shooting motion, the two guns created countless golden ribbons of light in the forest. When the golden light disappeared, there were no longer any living corpse left standing in the forest. No matter what their grade, zeros always put bullets in their heads. In a way, zero could be said to be very fair.
Zero took back his scorching hot guns. His handsome face was suffused with an unnatural flush. He stood there for a moment before the flush faded away.
Just then, when a "gale shot" came crashing down, Zero also felt slightly exhausted. The Consecutive Gale Shooting Technique combined both speed and accuracy. Su required the user to have a powerful calculating ability, otherwise, how could she fight one against a hundred in this ever-changing battlefield? In the process of this battle, it seemed like the living corpse s were clumsily hitting the thin air, but among them, who knew how many zeros were calculated to achieve such an outcome?
After the battle ended, just as the two were about to discuss their next course of action, their faces simultaneously changed as they looked towards the direction of the square apex column. He then carried Agatha and ran in the opposite direction of the square apex column once again.
Zero could feel that the direction he was heading in was filled with enmity, enmity that seemed to be real, causing him to feel a chill down his spine. When he carried Agatha and ran a distance, he realized that he had lost his mind in just a moment. It was an instinctive reaction to turn around and run.
When she looked at Agatha who was in her hands, her face was pale and she looked to be in a much more miserable state than zero. As someone who possessed the ability to create perceptual domain, Agatha's senses were clearer than zero. From the direction of the square apex column, she saw a pair of terrifying eyes. It was cold and lifeless. However, after being stared at by this pair of eyes for a moment, Agatha felt as if she had fallen into an abyss.
Luckily, Zero picked her up and ran away, cutting off those terrifying eyes.
Agatha's heart was thumping hard, she thought to herself, with these eyes, what kind of terrifying existence is this?
Chapter 312 - Memories
In Jodtenheim's majestic palace, Queen Lilith who was seated on a throne let out a soft cold snort. In her slender phoenix eyes, the hexagonal crystal that was observing the movements of Su Yun and Agatha had already lost all traces of their prey. As Jodtenheim's King, Lilith knew the entire kingdom and its surrounding territories like the palm of her hand. This was because of the "Insight" which she had used on the whole territory, allowing her to guarantee that no living being would be able to sneak into Jodtenheim's sight.
If it was not so, Su Yun and the rest who were hiding on the horse carriage would not have been noticed by Lilith.
However, Clear Vision also had its own limits. And right now, Zero and Agatha had already escaped the limits of what this ability, Clear Vision, could detect, so they were temporarily not in Lilith's line of sight. Faced with this situation, Lilith could only gather the living corpse to conduct a blanket search. After forcing the two of them out, he would send the high ranking Jodtenheim living corpse Warriors to attack them.
They did not know that Jodtenheim's biological weapon's system was far more than the few things they had seen in the University City.
After he consecutively sent out a few orders, Lilith felt a little tired. She sat on the throne and slowly closed her eyes.
How long had it been? How long had he been alive?
Lilith asked herself softly in her heart.
Time was meaningless to living corpse. Low level living corpse did not have enough intelligence to think about this problem. Even though they were high ranking living corpse weapons, their minds were still filled with techniques, not thinking about their own lives. Only Lilith had such thoughts that were similar to a human's.
Lilith was a living corpse, and at the same time, not a living corpse.
He didn't know when the memories were formed, but after obtaining the ability on perceptual domain, Lilith started to search the source of his memories. At first, the memory center was empty. But as Li
lith became stronger and stronger, the space in front of him also started to change. Therefore, Lilith remembered that a long time ago, he was once a human female.
The memories regarding the human race were broken and chaotic. Even if Lilith split the memories into countless separate data, and then reconstructed them using her logic, what recovered was only a blurry past. She only vaguely knew that she was a white-collar lady with an imperfect home, but everything was still fine. However, the advent of the Cataclysm had caused everything to change.
The place with the clearest memory was when Lilith stood in front of the window of a certain tall building, and watched huge fireballs fall from the sky that were spewing Burning Wind Fire. One of the fireballs landed in the city where Lilith was, following that was complete darkness.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Lilith was able to see anything once again. In the following memories, Lilith could feel that her thoughts did not waver in the slightest at that time. Like a machine covered in human skin, she tore apart the fragile bodies of humans with her mutated fangs and fangs, eating up their flesh and blood. Just like this, Lilith walked through the most difficult ten years.
It was a memory of when Lilith transformed into the living corpse. The fragments of the images were stored in her central nervous system, without any of Lilith's personal emotions mixed within, they were completely as pure as a documentary.
In the recording, ten years had passed since the transformation into living corpse. It was just an extremely long hunting record. In these segments, Lilith could see that the surviving humans were not strong, they were like fat rabbits. In the first five years, Lilith could easily hunt humans. But over the next five years, it became harder and harder to hunt.
Although human evolution is the slowest of all evolutions, once they have completed a certain stage of evolution, the genes become very stable and unbreakable. Unlike living corpse and the other mutated organism s, they had paid an unimaginable price while evolving at a high speed.
