Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

In front of the huge God of Water, Su Zhou was extremely insignificant. In comparison, he was as insignificant as gravel. The same was true in terms of the total amount of spiritual power. The angry God of Water could directly mobilize thousands of people around him with every move. All the flowing water in Minai can even replace the celestial phenomena if you use spells or the power of gods.

Big and small, there has never been such a clear contrast.

However, in terms of quality, Su Zhou's strength was not inferior in the slightest.

Just as the organization of spiritual power at the Transcendent level can be said to be a leap forward compared to the Awakening level, compared to the Transcendent level, the evolution of life essence brought about by the Commanding level, the further Transcendent life and the awakening of natal supernatural powers are also similar. It's a leap forward.

The foundation of the commanding rank is that the body is completely extraordinary, forming a perfect energy circulation in the body, and then, it is necessary to be able to communicate with the aura of heaven and earth with one's own power, and a power can drive very powerful, and the truly powerful commanding rank can even be here. In the first stage, the ability to awaken the supernatural powers of life, and the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

But at this moment, Su Zhou already possessed the natal supernatural powers of reincarnation of heaven and man and devouring demon master. He had already completed these two steps at the awakening stage, and his extraordinary body just arrived at Tarta. Diss World has already completed his practice before, except that he didn't have time to hold the ceremony, completely relying on the "heaven-human cycle" to break through the barrier between the body and the world, and increase his spiritual power by ten or dozens of times, he is basically a shrunken Trumpet leader.

Compared with a sword the size of an arm, a sword that is as long as a finger is of course less lethal - but if it is stabbed in the right place, it can kill.

At this time, before the real battle began, the mighty voice of the God of Water echoed in the sky and the earth: "Your aura is very different... aren't you from the Earth Age, and you are also an undead revived from the maze?"

This sentence uses the wide-area soul communication, even if the language is different, other people can understand it. After hearing this message, both the Nessel City side and the water god believers who were praying for their gods were slightly taken aback.

——Not from the Age of Earth? In this case, it does seem a bit like that. Mr. Su Zhou is not only unable to understand the language, but also does not understand a lot of common sense, and even shows a kind of curiosity about this era. This is something that is not concealed at all. But it's not that he doesn't have common sense, it's just that common sense is completely different from theirs.

If he was an intelligent life that came out of the maze, then everything would be easy to understand.

On the side of the believers of the water god, the thinking is even simpler-since the other party is not from the age of earth, it means that he must also be a powerful existence that has recovered from the previous eras. preview of the battle.

That being the case, it is not incomprehensible to be attacked and injured before!

Clang!

Su Zhou, whose identity was guessed, did not answer, but silently drew out the magic knife, making a crisp sound of drawing the knife. His eyes scanned the various wounds on the God of Water, as if he was searching for the enemy's weakness.

Since there is no desire to communicate, keep fighting.

In the next moment, the huge island whale called the endless flood and turned into a huge wave. Under the impetus of the endless water, that huge body also rushed towards Su Zhou at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye. He opened his huge mouth , and the huge tide around him also turned into the same posture, astonishingly trying to swallow Su Zhou in one gulp.

But Su Zhou, who was staying in mid-air, had been on guard for a long time, his figure disappeared instantly under the push of Lan Jia, and immediately, the water god, as huge as a hill, brought its tide, and directly hit the ground. All of a sudden, a huge splash of water splashed, and the surrounding water oscillated crazily. A huge amount of lake water was even thrown into the sky thousands of meters by the force of the impact, and a huge crater was blasted out of the ground, bringing the roar of the earthquake to the sky. This world has been flooded with torrential rain.

"Wait, the shelter is underground, an earthquake so close..."

Su Zhou, who wanted to take advantage of the situation to attack, changed his expression slightly after noticing this, and he immediately changed his direction of action, instead of continuing to wander around, he retreated towards the distant lake.

As far as the volume of the God of Water is concerned, Su Zhou's action is just a normal dodge in its cognition, so he continues to control the water flow, let them support his body, and chase towards Su Zhou.

The power of the water god is the power to control the water element. In front of him, any other existence weaker than him will never be able to use the power of the water spirit. It's just getting twice the result with half the effort, this is his innate ability, the absolute control over water.

Through water, He can float in mid-air, create torrential rains and eddies, and create torrents and tsunamis at will. In its heyday, he could even control a piece of sea to rise into the sky, creating a sea of ​​sky as a temple and residence to boast of divine power.

Amidst the loud roar that shook the world, the God of Water chased after Su Zhou in front of him. It was severely injured and could not take off. There is simply no way to get away enough to launch an attack.

And the huge body of the water god has the power to change the terrain with every move. While chasing Su Zhou, it crashed into several hills and caused countless water to splash into the sky. , turned into a series of powerful and terrifying spells and blasted towards Su Zhou. For a moment, it was as if half of the sky was illuminated by the light of water spirits. There were countless kinds of spells, which were enough to shock any mage who specialized in water. The spells poured out as if they didn't want money.

Facing the God of Water's terrifying power, which is enough to easily destroy a city even if he is seriously injured, even Su Zhou can only dodge the opponent's attack with the extremely flexible mobility of Lan Jia. From time to time, he would use the Blade of Destruction to turn back and smash some water magic that was about to attack him, and occasionally use the dragon horn spear to throw a supersonic throwing gun to fight back.

But this is enough to seriously injure or even kill an ordinary super high-level beast. For a monster like the island giant whale, at most it can destroy its insignificant shell and flesh, which is not the slightest threat at all. Su Zhou could indeed hurt the God of Water, not because he couldn't even break the defense, but the difference between such damage and not breaking the defense was too small.

"No, I have not practiced to become the real body. It is impossible to cause any injuries to it just by relying on the human body...How could the real body be cultivated in such a dozen days!"

For a god before an era, Su Zhou's accumulation is still too little, in front of the opponent, he can only dodge for a while. But Su Zhou didn't give up, he gritted his teeth to dodge, took time to fight back, and was still looking for opportunities.

Moreover, up to now, he still has the ability to turn into a rocket and get out of the water god's attack range, and the situation is still under control.

"—Woo——!"

Every attack the God of Water uses to control the flow of water will become the accumulation of its next attack, part of the spiritual water surrounding it, and even though there is no sea in this world, the city of Nessel happens to have the water of the three lakes. The power is almost endless in this kind of place, and this kind of pursuit can continue until Su Zhou is exhausted—you can see that this giant beast opens its huge mouth of the abyss, the mouth of the giant whale is full of sharp teeth, and the top of its head is like a crown The three ordinary blue crystals began to flash rapidly, and countless streams of water converged towards his mouth.

"what?!"

In the next moment, a terrifying high-pressure water cannon with a thickness of 100 meters was blown out by the giant beast's breath. The air was torn apart and a hurricane was stirred up. The creepy Su Zhou even used the soul acceleration brought by the pentagram , with the explosion of Leifa, it is possible to dodge the breath of the map cannon level. A small hill in the distance that was affected by the water cannon was directly wiped off the map, and on the ground, after the aftermath of the strong wind Amidst the explosion, a deep pit with a diameter of about 100 meters appeared, and the surrounding ground was completely pulverized into mud.

This is the power of the commanding rank—compared to the extraordinary rank, it is almost like the difference between a cloud bomb and a nuclear bomb.

"No, I can only be beaten passively... I must find a chance!"

And this level of magic, the power gradually accumulated by the God of Water is issued more and more frequently, and Su Zhou even has difficulty avoiding it. There are a few times, he can only use the Lanjia with all his strength, and then use the defense of the holy triangle of sacred geometry Only the strength of the water can support it hard, and it is impossible to block such a blow, even to counterattack-but this scene makes the god of water accelerate his power, vowing to completely wipe out this little bug Su Zhou.

"——Woo!!!!"

Accompanied by the high-pitched and long cry of the giant whale, facing Su Zhou who was dodging left and right under his own attack, this mountain-like giant leaped up suddenly, and its entire body was wrapped in the surging tide. Turning his body into an attack, he pressed towards Su Zhoudang who couldn't dodge at all!

——You can block spells, so can you block this?

Mount Tai overwhelms, this is not an exaggerated adjective, but an incomparably vivid description—Barely relying on the defense power far exceeding the ordinary Transcendent level to block the previous frost bombing of the God of Water, Su Zhou, who was covered in frost, was stunned. He raised his head and looked at the top of his head, and there, there was a dark giant that covered the sky and the sun was pressing towards him rapidly, and a series of air explosions sounded, followed by a sound that was enough to clearly affect the whole world. Reiatsu of the material world.

In a real crisis, when life and death are at stake, Su Zhou still keeps calm, this is his essence, a madman will never feel fear because of his own life and death, but will put all his energy on it and enjoy the process.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Lei Ze's heart beat crazily three times, the heart beat, the thunder roared, Su Zhou's majestic spiritual power began to circulate rapidly, and then was converted into extremely concentrated wind spirit power by the five spirit colorful scales - at this moment, The number of 240 haze seeds around Su Zhou began to increase rapidly... 280, 320... Finally, the number of the big sky circle, 360 haze seeds condensed into the big sky sky haze armor!

The moment the most complete Lanjia was formed, it set off a gust of wind that could destroy buildings, but it was only for a moment, and after a moment, all the power turned into a vortex and condensed into Su Zhou's body surface!

Su Zhou could have reached the Great Zhoutian Lanjia a long time ago, but because he has been cultivating his real body hard recently, he didn't put too much energy into it - he has too many inheritances, and the Zhoushen Lanjia comes from The ordinary Transcendent-level exercises in the Shenmu world are really incomparable to the inheritance of immortals and gods such as Ming Wei's dragon transformation method.

However, compared to those powerful supernatural powers that he has not yet cultivated, Lan Jia, who is very familiar with him, is a skill that he can exert 100% of his power, or even 120% of his power!

boom! It can be seen that Su Zhou transformed all the spiritual power in his body into the wind attribute, and the haze armor with a large number of heavens was converted into a regular triangle. The surging spiritual power centered on Lei Ze's heart and the five-spirit colorful scales, compressed and transmitted to every part of his body In one place, it finally condensed into a substantial wind shield, and layers of triangular spiritual light lines turned into thin films, covering the haze armor.

The next moment, the mountain crumbled.

Whether it is air or water, they are crushed by the weight of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of tons of giant whales. Under the control of the God of God, they all belong to one place, condensing into the power of falling.

Boom—it pressed the triangular haze armor of Su Zhou's incarnation city into the ground, and the whole body hit the ground with a roar.

At this moment, the entire land of the Three Lakes seemed to be frozen.

Then, there was a loud bang!

——Boom, boom, boom! ! ! ! !

The endless shock wave spread, and the entire ground was uplifted by the impact of the god of water, turning into a crater-like crater. The surrounding ground subsided a few feet in an instant, and then undulated like flowing water. Where the bombardment was located, the wave was forced away by the impact, temporarily exposing the wet ground,

Even the storm and furious thunder in the sky were swept away by the aftermath of this blow, temporarily suppressing their voices and holding their breath.

However, the god of water who sent out this blow did not show a victorious expression after destroying the enemy. On the contrary, his soul was full of shock.

——This feeling... That human being is actually not dead? !

"blocked!"

Su Zhou's answer to the question raised by the God of Water was, I can block it!

Facing the God of Water's terrifying attack even at the commanding level, Su Zhou's numerous defenses did not fully take effect. At this time, most of his haze armor around his body collapsed, leaving only a roughly triangular shape. The main pole of the body was not completely shattered, and the dragon scales and bones all over his body were broken a lot in the process of resisting and transmitting the huge force.

Even, in order to ensure that he could survive this blow, Su Zhou also ate all the remaining holy water and chalcedony, so as to ensure that he would not be directly unconscious under the severe injury, and then be killed by the aftermath.

He was severely injured to the extreme... But even so, he still blocked the enemy's inevitable blow! Smallness also has its advantages. The enemy's attacks cannot be completely concentrated on him, making Su Zhou like a tenacious pebble. Although he is hit hard back and forth, he will not be crushed.

At this time, the regenerative reserve in his body has been completely exhausted. On his body, all the fat has completely disappeared, and the material reserves used to regenerate important parts have been exhausted. If he wants to continue to regenerate, he can only eat his own muscles to maintain the integrity of other spiritual organs in his body, or Swallow the ghosts of the four water god believers that were stored before to recover.

But now is not the time to worry about your injuries.

Now is the best time to launch a counterattack!

At the moment when the God of Water was temporarily unable to act because of his full-scale attack, Su Zhou finally found the opportunity to attack the opponent close to him, and without hesitation drew out the dragon-horned spear behind his back, and the crystal clear blue-white wood Qi overflowed from his soul, and then merged into the spear.

The material of the Dragon Horn Spear is only the Demon Emperor Dragon Horn of the Transcendent level, which is not as strong as the Blade of Extermination. Unless Su Zhou gathers his strength to throw it, otherwise, even the flesh and blood of the God of Water will be hard to break.

But this time, what Su Zhou blessed was not the power of thunder and strong wind.

It's the spirit of the tree of wisdom!

The reason why Su Zhou didn't use the spirit of the tree of wisdom in the body of the God of Water before was because he knew that the rejection of foreign objects was a physical instinct, just like vomiting, and it didn't need the manipulation of will at all. It is meaningless to let the other party be confused by expelling it by yourself, and it will also make the other party vigilant - only now is the best time!

At the same time, the giant whale also felt an unprecedented sense of danger coming from under him. He immediately realized that this was the counterattack of the surviving Su Zhou. He was attacked by the opponent before and almost exploded his heart. A sense of fear came immediately, but at this moment, he couldn't mobilize more power to suppress it, so he could only condense the little spiritual power left under his body, turning it into a blocking shield, preventing Su Zhou from breaking his body and dying again. enter.

However, Su Zhou's attack was not aimed at 'injury'.

Puff - the dragon horn spear lightly pierced into the body of the water god, and invisible power surged towards the giant whale's soul with an unstoppable momentum.

Then, the mind of this gigantic monster suddenly became clear.

——This, this feeling...

In an instant, the god of water seemed to be enlightened. Countless information that he had known, countless information that he had ignored before, and countless inspirations and directions that he had never thought of, surged in his heart at the same time——he suddenly understood , What is reincarnation, the truth of the alternation of epochs between elements, the source of all the end times, the hidden truth at the end of one's own era, and... the fate of this world, and its own people, in the distant future.

"Stop, stop! Let me see more clearly!"

Everything seemed to pass by like a lantern in his heart. The God of Water shouted excitedly in his heart. He wanted to see more clearly and clearly. He really wanted to get rid of the end of this generation of reincarnation so that his people could live forever. He lives happily in the endless sea, but all of these are just superficial images, he can only vaguely see them, but he still can't really grasp them.

Whoosh--the sound of flames, thunder and wind began to stir!

At this moment, taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Zhou raised the blade of destruction in his hand, and the spiritual power in his body turned into the power of thunder and fire again. Bringing up one after another arc light air blades, and in the next moment, a terrifying Lan storm rose, and he swung his sword decisively, turning into a rainbow, and swung his full strength sword on the body of the water god!

Puchi—the sound of flesh and blood splattered, and as the God of Water was knocked out of his epiphany, he let out a cry of pain, and a huge piece of flesh tens of meters long was picked off by Su Zhou from the giant whale and fell to the ground.

"who is it?!"

Still immersed in that state of epiphany, the God of Water rolled a few times towards the outside, and he continued to manipulate the water to move his body to dodge—but soon, he realized that in this place, except for the one who was fighting with him Besides human beings, who else can let themselves fall into that strange state, and then hurt themselves?

And when he completely got rid of the influence of the wisdom tree spirit, regained his sobriety, and looked at Su Zhou, the giant island whale was shocked to find that the original 'tiny' human had disappeared, replaced by a 'monster', The part of his lost flesh and blood was devoured crazily.

It was a strange creature, a bit like a lizard, and a bit like a water dragon. His body had swelled to a height of more than ten meters, and he was still growing in the process of devouring flesh and blood.

This weird wingless dragon has gray-white scales, giving people the feeling of being as solid and long-lasting as rocks. In order to support the suddenly expanding body, the legs have become thicker, and the hands have also become thicker due to the increase in strength. It can be seen that behind this erect tyrannosaurus, there is a long giant tail that was formed to maintain balance and is violently swinging, smashing the air, and on his tail and back, there is a sharp and strong dorsal fin like a thorn It is exuding a purple aura.

Is it a dragon? But it is different from those flying dragons with wings, and also different from those sea dragons without wings. This ferocious monster is just like a creature pieced together according to some dinosaur map, but it has an unusual sense of majesty and danger. , there seemed to be two pairs of four wings growing out on his back, and the shadow of long horns appeared vaguely on the top of his head, but none of these body organs had grown, it seemed that because those abilities were not needed for the time being, they just Simply stop growing like that.

At this moment, Su Zhou is still trying his best to devour the flesh and blood, and then convert it into the power of his real body - he doesn't care whether he can bear it or not, and he doesn't care whether the real body amulet meets what he valued most at the beginning. Aesthetic sense' was purely for power, Su Zhou devoured the body of the whale god and turned it into his own nourishment.

For Su Zhou, what his real body lacked was not the design of scales and various organs at all. He had already prepared such things long before this battle. The real dragon body that comes with him is still a self-help real body practice method that he prepares materials for kneading. He has already prepared for this aspect. What he lacks is not the idea, but the quality.

High-quality spiritual flesh and blood is what the real body needs most. That is the material that needs to be honed and practiced constantly, so that it can be accumulated bit by bit to build a brand new fighting body, so the real body's practice is often counted as ten years.

But now, in front of him, isn't there ready-made high-spirited flesh and blood? Although it wasn't the best choice, the spore cultivation method Su Zhou practiced could be changed at will, at worst, he would do it again later.

"Hey-"

Su Zhou, who turned into a ferocious dragon, devoured the flesh and blood of the gods, causing his body to expand and alienate endlessly—he doesn't even know what his body looks like now, but concentrates on rapidly shaping the various spirits in his body Force organs, as well as various extraordinary structures designed long ago for destruction and destruction.

And Yala hid in Su Zhou's scales. It stared at Su Zhou who was like a big snake, swallowing food that he couldn't digest. expression.

But Su Zhou was not crazy, nor was he greedily swallowing flesh and blood that he couldn't bear like a big snake. After he felt that his strength had reached his limit, he stopped the process of swallowing, and then met with the man in front of him. Compared with before, the same huge, but the contrast is not so exaggerated, the God of Water looked at each other.

At this time, Su Zhou was twenty-seven meters tall. Weight, 3,300 tons.

The giant gray-scaled dragon was filled with visions of strong winds, flames and thunder, and a bright aura flowed from the thorn-like sharp dorsal fin, illuminating a water area.

Forcibly relying on the incomplete transformation of his real body to break through his own limit, now Su Zhou finally has the method and capital to actually hurt the God of Water, and even kill him.

——Sure enough, this guy is not from the Earth Age, not even from this world.

And the God of Water also looked at Su Zhou. After being hit by the spirit of the Wisdom Tree, although the Whale God did not grasp the inspiration of the reincarnation of the era that he most wanted to know, but the breath of the human being who was fighting with him was still I have a deep understanding - that is not a creature of the age of wind, nor a creature of the age of water, nor a creature of the age of earth, it is completely irrelevant to the reincarnation of this land, and comes from an existence outside of reincarnation.

It is true that only such an existence can give oneself that kind of inspiration in that mysterious first strike.

At this time, Su Zhou wanted to fight the God of Water again immediately, but the huge island whale, which controlled the water flow and covered its body in the waves, lost the desire to fight instead.

"Wait a minute, there is an anomaly."

Now, he just wants Su Zhou to use the mysterious attack on him again, and let him enter a state of epiphany... The God of Water feels that he may really be able to find the truth of the reincarnation of the era, and get rid of this world that repeats destruction and regeneration. Sad reincarnation.

This is more important than regaining one's own strength. This is the only way to lead one's people to happiness.

So, he opened his mouth and said to Su Zhou, who thought he was about to launch an attack, who was extremely on guard: "Why are you fighting me? There is obviously no reason for us to fight to the death."

"You ask me why I fight?!"

Even Su Zhou, who had made up his mind not to communicate with the other party, was uncontrollably shocked when he heard this question, and he subconsciously asked: "You monster evil god who slaughtered cities and exterminated species, sacrificed countless lives to restore his own strength, Ask me why?"

Su Zhou's tone was as if he had heard some incredible joke. He flicked his huge tail and said with an incredible smile: "You came to my city to destroy the city and kill human beings, and then you asked me Why are you fighting?!"

"You are not human. You are not even the existence of this Earth Era, or even this world."

Looking at the gray-scaled dragon with no trace of human beings in front of him, the giant water god, even the sound transmission of the soul is shaking the spirit world: "What does the change of the era of this world have to do with you? The relationship between us and the people of the earth Killing each other is for the continuation of the times, a battle that blocks the future of civilization and race! And all of this has nothing to do with you!"

"It was supposed to be a huge decisive battle, but the civilization of the Earth Age has lost all enthusiasm now. Their desire to struggle for survival has been wiped out in the long doomsday that lasted for thousands of years, so it looks like a massacre But I didn't, our people are eager to do it again, this time, we will definitely find a way to delay the destruction of the world, or even prevent the destruction of the world!"

The giant whale god roared to Su Zhou, "Unknown, abnormal life, the fate of reincarnation in this world has nothing to do with you, and the death of everyone in this world has nothing to do with you. You have nothing to do here. Friends, and no relatives, the purpose of coming here is nothing more than looking for some fetishes that will be born after the destruction of the world?"

"I can give you everything, I can give you everything! If you want strength, I can give you my flesh and blood. If you want materials, I can mobilize believers to find them for you. As long as you can let me enter the stage of epiphany again State, let me figure out the key elements, I can promise you anything!"

But what answered him was Su Zhou's reply full of anger: "Why doesn't it matter?!"

Although what the God of Water said is indeed the truth, Su Zhou has nothing to do with anything in this world, whether it is the change of times, the reincarnation of eras, or the end of the world, it has nothing to do with him, a visitor from other worlds. Involvement, in this world, he really has no relatives or friends.

But... Su Zhou thought of Elias, the ordinary people who were casually chatting and bragging in the bar, he thought of the little girl who said thank you to him, and the old city guard who died in the tide.

To be honest, although these people did feel Su Zhou, they could not be called his friends, they were good acquaintances at most. In this kind of situation, at most, it would be a sigh of relief, a sigh of relief, a moment of grievance in the heart, and then it would pass.

After all, they can't do anything to the God of Water, and they can't change the world, so naturally they can only comfort themselves that 'all this has nothing to do with me', and then go with the flow.

However, Su Zhou is no ordinary person! He has extraordinary powers! He didn't want to sigh, sigh, and wear down the eternal knife called 'righteousness' in his heart—so, when he saw it, he had to take action, and he had to use his own strength to blow up all these injustices!

A powerful existence does not need any reason, because they themselves are the biggest reason——for this reason, facing the doubtful God of Water, the furious Demon Eater opened his eyes angrily, and he tried his best to refute the giant whale That ludicrous idea!

"Why? Why do you need a reason!? Why do you need a reason to help the innocent? Why do you need a reason to fight for the weak? Why do you need a reason to fight for injustice?! You guys, you meet yourself every day for what good and for what purpose If you don't understand something, ask why - but why do you need 'why' to do the right thing?!"

Saying each word in a pause, Su Zhou's tone was filled with uncontrollable anger: "Don't ask me why I saved them, what you should ask is why you killed them!"

"You have done evil things, and I am retribution! You kill innocent people, and I will kill you! Since no one judges the gods, then I am your court!"

——Don't ask whether the bonfire should burn, first ask whether the cold and darkness are still there!

——Don't ask whether the bullet should be loaded, first ask whether the oppression and exploitation are still there!

——Don't ask whether there is a future for the cause of justice, first ask whether the injustice in the world still exists today!

I am an extraordinary person who has obtained power beyond mortals, I am a covenanter who has obtained the inheritance of a great existence, I am Su Zhou, and I am the Lord of Devouring Demons—now that I have seen it, how can I turn my face away from the suffering of others Go on, pretend that none of this has anything to do with me?

"monster!"

Pressing down the blazing fury in his heart, Su Zhou opened his mouth. In his huge mouth full of blood and flesh residue, on the tip of his tongue, there was a magic knife that had burned to golden red and was driven to the extreme— —Countless off-white scales wrapped the knife, and with it as the center, all of Su Zhou's strength was condensed on it!

Unprecedented violent breath accumulated, and the cold soul message sounded:

"Don't ask why you died!"

"Ask me first if I'm still here!"

There will be another update later, please recommend a monthly ticket~

Su Zhou's real body can be regarded as the gray scale version of Godzilla, it's not in full form yet ()

What kind of activity (hint) did the starting point recently, can you give me a thumbs up?
