Wasteland Echoer

This time, everything covered by the flames of the "Plamini's Sorrow" shells turned into an extremely pitch black color. From Wright's perspective, the originally uneven masonry floor was only a piece of "Vanta Black". , the original outline cannot be seen at all.

After rolling on the ground several times, Wright regained his balance.

Due to the distance between him and "Plamini's Sorrow", the influence of "ancient power" has been slightly weakened. Wright finally regained some control over his body, and the suppressed emotions lingering in his mind have also been slightly reduced. ease.

It was at this time that Wright felt bursts of tearing pain in his back, like being gnawed by a wild beast. He turned around and saw that a "secret touch" he had just been struck by the fire was shrinking rapidly.

Because the skin withered faster than the internal flesh and blood, there were many traces on the surface of the "Dark Touch" that looked like cracks in the wall. However, no traces of human blood seeped out.

"This is the 'rapid aging' brought about by 'ancient power'. Any object touched by any high concentration of 'ancient power', whether living or dead, will immediately age, wither, and weather, until it becomes a fragile mess. Powder disappears from this world with the wind." The young man in brown clothes got up from the ground, wiped the dust off his knees, and saw Wright staring at the injured "Touch of Darkness" and said:

"Wright Sugra, you should take the initiative to cut off the injured tentacles now, otherwise, the 'ancient power' will spread quickly and make other parts of your body wither."

"Who are you?" Wright took half a step back, stared at the handsome young man in front of him warily, and asked warily:

"How do you know my full name? And what about the 'Ancient Power'? Judging from your appearance, you don't look like a Krusted, but like... someone I saw a long time ago... …Zine people.”

"I am Luo Nie. We must have met before, in the alien plane in the center of Silent Highlands. In fact, thirty years ago, the Socra Committee had a lot of discussions about you. As long as you know a few of them, People who work will easily get your information." Luo Nie suppressed the excitement in his heart. The inherent rationality of the previous mechanical body briefly controlled the emotional "personality" brought to him in the body, and stared at Wright's black pupils. , explained:

"Please rest assured, Wright, I have no ill intentions. I arrived here with the help of the 'wilderness tourist group' that is an enemy of the Crusted Federal Council...human beings. I did it for the divination that Ms. Natasha gave me back then. "Destiny" comes to return an item to you. "

"Natasha..." This woman's name touched Wright's heart, causing his spirit to twitch like an electric shock.

However, before Wright could continue to ask about Luo Nie's other purposes, the body of "Plamini's Sorrow" behind them once again made a strong mechanical sound.

"careful!"

Countless tentacles made of heavy, solid machinery emerged from the body of "Plamini's Sorrow" and sliced ​​through the air, making a horrifying whistling sound.

Half a second later, these tentacles branded with the royal crest of Crusted's old empire penetrated Wright's chest and abdomen, and let out a manic laughter that seemed to be played from a tape recorder.

"Poof!" Dark, creepy blood spurted out of Wright's mouth, flowing in small streams like a damaged faucet.

The skin, muscles and exposed bones where the tentacles penetrated began to turn blue and black, as if they had been smeared with some kind of poison that worked very quickly.

Soon, these tentacles that were removed from Wright's body began to age and rust rapidly. In less than half a minute, the huge body became rusty, as if they had been completely forgotten in a dark, damp, and gloomy warehouse. , like scrap metal that has been stored for hundreds of years.

"His power is about to run out, Wright." Luo Nie stepped forward and briefly checked Wright's injuries. When he saw that the semi-mechanical heart was still emitting a soft, faint blue light, he felt relieved. tone and said:

"This is still the power of the 'old gods', and it has not caused fatal harm to you. It seems that the red magic power in your body that belongs to the 'old gods' has helped you suppress the spread of the power of this big monster. As long as you stop moving, There will be no more harm.”

"No more moving? Then how do we get out?" Wright asked a key question.

"'Plamini's Sorrow' will go through three stages. The first stage is the 'biological stage'. Most of what it erupts is brute force and some relatively weak extraordinary power. But in the second stage, the 'mechanical stage', It will reveal the most advanced weapon technology of the Krusted Empire, but the 'ancient power' will not allow this mechanical state to exist for too long.

"As long as it is contaminated with human blood, it will enter the last stage, which is also the most dangerous 'rust stage'." Luo Nie surged the green radiant grass-based magic source power in his body and activated its combination with machinery. The "Mechanical Su" skill pours the magic power mixed with mechanical light energy into Wright's wounds, helping them heal quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Luo Nie knew that the current situation was critical and the urgent battle situation did not allow him to use relatively mild slow healing skills. He could only use this emergency skill that would greatly consume the target's magic power and physical nutrition.

However, wounds treated with the "Mechanical Su" skill will heal quickly, and it is difficult to leave behind viruses, bacteria, unclean forces, and filth, which can cause repeated infections of the wound or leave any strange sequelae.

However, after being treated with "Mechanical Su", Wright will become like a thriving "inner curled flower" within half an hour. Except for his head, other parts of his body will involuntarily curl up together and become unable to move.

Wright, who felt the power of the healing system, did not resist, nor did he have any doubts about Luo Nie's purpose. During the conversation just now, he had already recalled the brief situation of fighting with Luo Nie.

Even if Luo Nie really had some ulterior motive for him, he could only let him control the current situation.

"Luonie, you just mentioned the three stages of 'Plamini's Sorrow'. Looking at it now, it should evolve upwards by one stage after being knocked down once. If it is the third stage now, what do you have? Are you sure you can defeat him?" Wright asked, with some uneasiness and anxiety in his tone:

"The 'Future' of the 'Order Society' who came to me before and wanted to take me away from here is dead, and my red magic source power and physical strength are close to being exhausted. You know, 'Plamini's Sorrow' His predecessor was the Lord of Eternal Red, the sequential god..."

"I know." Luo Nie interrupted Wright. He walked behind Wright and skillfully tore off Wright's "Touch of Darkness" that had been affected by the "ancient power" and had completely withered with his hands. The voice said:

"I have no intention of getting out alive. The 'Red Fantasy Ruins', in the words of Emperor Crusted, is a 'red psychedelic place that symbolizes death'. In the depth of winter in December 556 of the New Era, that day After the dome opened, I walked through the heavy snow to the dark shop selling kerosene lamps.

"My master... he knew that I was a machine, so he asked [Goddess of Love] Natasha to perform a divination for me at the price of half a piece of supernatural ore."

As Luo Nie spoke, he took two steps forward and stretched out his arms to block Wright. Like a real [warrior], he began to surge the purple part of the plant-based magic source power in his body, as well as the pure The brilliance of the "mechanical spirit" belonging to the master of machinery.

"Natasha told me that, in fact, I am a toy made at will by the Lord of Machinery. The Lord of Machinery has long forgotten my existence, so I can arrange my destiny without any restrictions." Luo Nie stared at the eyes. Struggling in the dark lines composed of the dark and rich "ancient power", he kept letting out the "Plamini's Sorrow" that made people laugh crazily, and said:

"But in fact, my destiny has been arranged by the Creator. I am destined to devote my life to a 'partner' with whom I have never really gotten along, in order to save the world that is about to collapse and the remaining human civilization.

"If we cannot turn off the 'Master Control' Heavenly Punishment Fire hidden in the 'Red Fantasy Ruins', successive explosions will stir up the lava in the center of the earth to destroy the entire Crusted, leading to the collapse of the world. Lost The land on which human civilization depends for survival will quickly die out. Of course, maybe ten thousand years later, or maybe one hundred thousand years later, a new group of apes will obtain the 'wisdom' sequence core and enter a new cycle of civilization.

"It's just that the Creator can't wait for that day, and the sequential gods can't wait for that day either. Since entering the Steam Age, the gods have been in a time and space where the magic source power has been exhausted for too long. If civilization cannot recover, the magic source power will If it cannot continue to be generated from nature, the gods will fall into a sleep that can never be awakened. Until the Creator completely sleeps, this world, this planet, and even the entire universe will quickly die. "

Luo Nie said, taking off the khaki military backpack he was carrying and throwing it back in front of Wright.

"You are the [Order], and you are the future god arranged by the Creator to revive the entire world and bring all living things back to [Order]. In fact, our previous perceptions were wrong. We once thought that the [Order] was A rare and rare existence, but yesterday, the clone of the Creator in the dream told me that there is only one [Order] in an era." Luo Nie continued:

"Do you know? Adari Sage once predicted: The loyal fire of karma abandons the weak gods, and the future of [Order] wakes up among the ice; the old mechas create a new world, and the surviving beasts pursue the dragon clan. Groan. The first two sentences of this prophecy called 'H-204' by the Federal Council have been confirmed. Now, I will witness its follow-up for you...Wright Sugra...the only [Order] ”

As soon as Luo Nie finished speaking, the surface of his body was enveloped by a thick layer of mecha that kept stacking up and became increasingly thicker and larger. When the mecha was about to cover his face, his face revealed the final... A smile of contentment that is human.
