Wasteland Echoer

"Then Your Highness, the last part of your coming-of-age ceremony has been completely completed. The 'ritual of sacrificing all living creatures', the 'ritual of sacrificing lost monsters', and the 'ritual of reshaping steel machinery', plus the confirmation ceremony in the traditional sense. There is no doubt that according to the royal regulations of the Zine Empire, you are already an adult.

From now on, you have been given the qualification to inherit the throne by the ancestors of the empire and the sequential gods. This country that is about to be established for a thousand years will be revived again in your hands. "

The old bishop, who was dressed in a simple style, said in an old but respectful tone as if facing a god. Then, he even knelt on his knees, crossed his arms devoutly, and hugged his chest.

Although his gray eyes have lost most of their luster due to old age and appear dim, in Evante's eyes, they are bright and full of the brilliance called "hope".

"Yes, Your Highness, the sequential gods of the Zine Empire will protect you, and the old gods of Crusted will also protect you. The double-headed eagle should have favored the two great empires, but Crusted has already fallen into the darkness. and in the blood mist.

However, the old gods of the north will not forget us, and neither will the Creator and the Lord. You are a great god in front of tens of millions of people in the empire. You are trying to end the wasteland. This is a feat that will never be forgotten. "The classical-style bishop agreed, and then he knelt down on his knees, as if he had seen "the Lord".

Looking at the two men with white hair, old faces, thin faces, and deeply sunken eye sockets, they looked exhausted due to long-term food shortages and their persistence in refusing to transform into "superpowers". Occasionally, their consciousness was erratic. Bishop, a trace of pity arose in Evante's heart.

For a moment, he stared at the ceiling and the incandescent space that was perhaps a little brighter. He felt that he was in a holy realm, which made him stand up involuntarily and stretched out his scarred right hand, trying to grab something.

Unlike the bishop who seemed to be "drifting" as if eroded by the wind and snow of the Crusted Icefield, Ivant was closer to having just absorbed the warm power of "MB-001: The Burning Sun", with a surging heart and a determined will. , as majestic as the "Volga Tower" that still stands in Donusk.

But immediately, he coughed slightly, and a mouthful of sticky dirt fell from his mouth onto the dusty iron floor. After making a slight "snap" sound, he suddenly took off the golden gem crown. , the "Imperial Crown Prince's Dress" with a silver double-headed eagle embroidered in the middle and golden wheat ears embroidered on the edge was thrown on the Iron Sword Throne.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the "Empire Core" pistol from his arms, glanced at the "Time Wheel Watch" on his wrist, and shook his head slightly, with a look on his lips as if he was in control of everything. With a smile, he quickly loaded the gun, pointed it at the heads of the two bishops, and pulled the trigger one after another.

bump!

bump!

Bullets shining with azure light rushed out from the barrel of the gun uncontrollably, like a horse running wildly on the battlefield, and instantly hit the heads of the two bishops.

Moreover, the bullet exploded just as it was about to leave the two old heads with stunned faces.

The heads of the two bishops suddenly turned into a pool of bright red "dye", leaving only a pair of sacred bodies stained with "rose juice".

bump!

The two bodies that had lost their "center" fell towards the feet of Ivant. The splashing liquid strangely did not stain Ivant's dark black general uniform. Instead, it splashed far back. Shaodu clung to the astonished face of Ulchiko.

"They made mistakes, so I executed them, not because the confirmation ceremony requires sacrifices. Do you understand? Ulchiko?" The corners of Ivant's mouth twisted into a confused and weird smile, as if from Devil of the abyss.

"I don't understand..." Ulchiko shook his head according to his body's instinct, but then the reason in his mind suddenly took over.

Stimulated by the desire to survive, he nodded quickly as if he were making medicine, and shouted at a speed that was almost indistinguishable:

"I understand... I understand..."

"That's enough." Evante waved his hand, signaling Urchko to stop this cowardly behavior. "I said before that I don't want to bring any traditional imperial clothes with me to the Silent Highlands. Here I am not The Crown Prince, let alone the Emperor of the Empire, I am the commander-in-chief of the "Silence Advent" campaign, the supreme commander of the three armies of the empire, and the "supreme ruler" of each city in the empire. The ancient human era has long been buried under the yellow sand. , turned into scorched earth and ruins, the vigorous steam machinery is destined to usher in a great future. I admire science, and I know that is the future of the entire human race."

"The era of dragon rule is gone, the era of sequential gods will end, and the era of the wasteland will eventually become a memory. Ulchiko, what I look forward to is the future of the stars. Do you understand? Do you understand? !”

Evante roared like crazy, he loaded the "Empire Core" pistol again, quickly took a few steps forward, and directly pressed it against Ulchiko's strong chest.

"Your Highness, my wisdom cannot understand this. Please forgive me. Although I receive education every year in military academies across the empire, it is always about military science and war. I don't understand steam or electricity. I All we know is that as long as one of the Heartless and the Lost is executed by us, one of them will be missing in the empire." Ulchiko replied rationally, his forehead was already soaked with sweat, becoming sticky and becoming Soggy.

"The universe was created by the Creator." Ivante roared abruptly and affectionately, like a poet, "but it exists within reach. As long as the aircraft we build is fast enough, it can break through the gravity of gravity. Be bound and arrive in the dazzling and gorgeous ocean of ice and cold stars. Ulchiko, I want you to remember!"

"Yes, Your Highness." Ulchiko nodded.

"The future of mankind has never been a silent space, but the universe and stars. I listened to the instructions of the Creator in my dream. He told me that we will eventually open the 'Star Era'. There are endless resources in the gloomy space, human beings, We will set foot on every star to build an interstellar empire that belongs to our race full of endless possibilities. So now, Ulchiko, prepare to show off the empire's latest technology - the 'electromagnetic pulse rifle'. What you have in your hands is the second version is also a version worthy of participating in actual combat testing." Ifant said in a commanding tone.

Immediately afterwards, he put the "Empire Core" pistol back into his waist, took out a shiny red button from his jacket pocket, and pressed it with a "snap".

Immediately, the roar of metal machinery came from behind him. He suppressed his excitement and restlessness and turned around to look.

A five-meter-wide dark circular hole appeared in the center of the steel floor. As the mechanical sound reached its peak, a man wearing a white gown and a blue-gray face slowly rose from the ground.

He was also pushing an enlarged trolley in his hand, and the human being squirming messily on it was the monster-turned-Ato.

Ulchiko looked away curiously. Yato, who was bound by chains, was still very large. Even if he was curled up at a height of 2.5 meters, he still exuded a sense of power like a mountain of flesh.

At this moment, Yato's chest was emitting a faint and chaotic red and blue light, and his winged arms were helplessly hanging aside, moving in small and incomprehensible ways.

His two long whips covered with crocodile-like scales were now wrapped around his neck, loose and weak.

And the fluff on his body and face completely covered his originally handsome, gentlemanly body and face.

However, his eyes were unreservedly exposed outside of the down, but their eyes had disappeared, and together with the whites of his eyes, they had turned into red and radiant beings.

"Your Highness, I brought Yatuo. Because of your request and the care of your teacher who is still somewhat capable of fighting, I stayed up for several nights and dispelled the 'dark restriction' that bound Aaron's thinking. But in the pain of being transformed, he was very disobedient and tortured himself for a long time until he became like this." Shamon said with regret as he stroked the feathers on Yatuo's wings with his blue-gray palms.

"He must be at least Order Level 4. Although I don't believe in magic, it doesn't mean I'm ignorant. There are twelve regular cardinals in the three major churches, and at least three of them have reached this level, and Yato , is a weapon we use to counter the Lost One's "individual raid" by relying on the Cardinal.

Shamon, you should know that we do not have enough resources to continue large-scale bombing. The only perfect fire suppression is this wave. Next, it must be the hidden cards of both sides and the game between the commanders. "Evante reminded:

"Speaking of Shamon, the color of your skin was wheat color before. It was a healthy color and looked good. Why did it change to the same color as those of the lost ones?"

"Because of power." Sha Meng said without thinking.

"strength?"

"Yes." Sha Meng nodded and said: "'The Desire of the Old False Gods' gave me three sequence cores, and also brought me into the ranks of 'superpowers'. But its side effect is that it gradually makes me lose my humanity. , until I become a monster. Your Highness, I know that my fate will not be any different from that of my teacher John. The only thing I can do is to dedicate everything I have to the empire, and even to you, whom I respect."

"If I go crazy one day, I hope you can personally end my life so that I don't become an enemy of the empire. This is also my teacher's wish."

"Of course, I promise you." Evante said without hesitation:

"But Yato's appearance should be the heart, which was damaged by the sequence monster, 'MB-108: Dark Drive Core'. You said a few days ago that there are two 'cores' in total. This No, I called Ulchiko, and he will activate the newly developed 'electromagnetic pulse gun' in a moment, completely shattering the original 'core' so that you can replace it with a new one."
