Chapter 131
Edited by: grump
Compared to Gu Huai’s intention to only break through the weak points in the space, it was obviously much more violent to destroy the isolated space with pure force.
Noah compressed the isolated space from the outside with great energy, causing cracks in the space barrier, thus highlighting the weak points in the space. Noah then used his black weapon to directly penetrate the weakest spot of the space.
The isolated space collapsed rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Before the master of the space could react, he saw a huge humanoid weapon in the space, who quickly flashed to the youth to encircle the youth with his arms, hugging him tightly.
Slowly looking at the youth, Noah still tightened his grip on his body, but the warm body temperature he felt from the youth finally calmed down the destructive desire surging in his heart.
Due to the sudden disconnection of the tracking magic applied to the youth, Noah, who could not figure out the current condition of the youth not long ago, looked completely cold in an instant. A feeling of rage from the bottom of his heart made him take a knife and he beheaded all the enemies in the center of the battlefield, smashing the land into a deep pit.
Thinking about the failure of the spell, whether caused by others or caused by environmental reasons, either indicated that the youth was brought into an unsafe environment at this time.
Aware of this, Noah immediately withdrew from the battlefield without stopping after destroying the battlefield with one blow. A corresponding message was transmitted to the minds of all mechanical creatures through data sharing, which caused the whole mechanical army to stop fighting one after another.
They couldn’t casually leave the battlefield, but for the mechanical creatures, the human youth who was perhaps in danger was the most important and the object they wanted to protect.
If the latter was gone, they had no reason to protect the world.
The force of the inner space being destroyed from the outside made its way through, which resulted in a huge explosion without any warning, which rang in Ogg city, directly making the alarm device in the city automatically ring.
The people of every race who stayed in Ogg City were shocked. When they looked up because of the suddenly darkened sky, they saw the isolated space that was collapsing sharply and the mechanical army that had been sent to Ogg City appearing one after another.
“That is…” Some people identified the distorted figure in the collapse space as Zug, the assistant officer of the lich clan, by his clothes. When they found out about this, the members of all races in the city found it very hard to accept.
The other party looked completely different from a lich in appearance. He could only be described as a monster. Its resemblance to a living body completely disappeared.
The smell of death that overflowed from this twisted figure could not be ignored by anyone, much less the magic gem on his staff, which seemed to be contaminated, emitted the same energy as the undead.
The person behind the attack was in their stronghold, and he had been a very important person in the stronghold. This undoubtedly made the rest of the members of the parliament feel a shiver.
The other side knew almost everything their army was going to do. Just thinking about it made members of the parliament break out in a cold sweat.
Zug was only the name used by the other party in the current world. After the space created by the lich named Xia Zuo was completely destroyed, the expression on the distorted face finally changed from gloomy to ferocious and horrible.
In contrast was the humanoid weapon that protected the youth behind him and all the mechanical creatures of the mechanical army.
The darkened sky gradually formed a twisted whirlpool. It was with that that the lich moved with his wand inlaid with the Ida crystal. Hordes of thick thunder and lightning fell from the whirlpool and relentlessly shot down onto the ground, destroying many buildings in Ogg City directly into ruins.
All the things that came into direct contact with these dark purple streaks of thunder and lightning were reduced to ashes in an instant. This was an ultra-large-scale attack covering the whole city. With the blessing of Ida crystal, it was an easy thing to launch such magic beyond the forbidden spell level.
Because of his anger, the lich wanted to vent his emotions. Seeing that the people below could barely hold up the shield as they struggled to support the personnel of all races, Xia Zuo was sick with joy. He let out a cold low laugh.
Ogg City was now like a horrible scene of the coming of the end. The lightning falling from the twisted whirlpool had no end, and the thunder of destruction had brought forth loud sounds. The inhabitants of the city were trapped like people in a locked house that had already caught fire, they could only watch the fire spread and the flames were getting closer to them, there was no way to escape from the cage.
If the leaders of all races only protected themselves, they could actually resist the attacks, but there were still many groups behind them who were not able to support the shield. These people all needed their protection.
The humanoid weapon that protected the youth behind him was also in an enraged state, but Noah, who had entered a state of complete combat, did not have any expression. The pale golden eyes of the cold face slightly narrowed at this moment.
The more infuriated Noah was, the calmer he looked. He raised his black weapon toward the enemy in front of him and pointed his sharp, frosty blade at the other. Although he did not say a word, Noah’s gesture was a declaration of war.
It was OK for the other to destroy anything in the world. Noah wouldn’t even lift his eyelids lightly because he didn’t really care about those things… but only for the youth behind him.
That was his cherished treasure.
Their positions were completely conflicting and contradictory. Noah threw a layer of defense magic on the youth first, then flashed directly to the front of the lich at an extreme speed that the naked eye could not distinguish. The black weapon in his hand pierced the enemy’s clothes first and mercilessly pierced a big hole into the latter.
That was actually only a tentative blow.
The weapon pierced a large hole in his body, but the lich still smiled grimly and didn’t care about the damage to his body. Only, in the next few seconds, the hole in the lich’s body had automatically returned to its original shape.
This would not be an easy battle. Gu Huai looked up at the sky, dark purple lightning from the twisted vortex falling continuously. He aimed the device at the space vortex.
He couldn’t let this situation go on, otherwise, the ground shield support would not hold on for long, Ogg City would have countless sacrifices.
With the vortex center energy, theoretically he could…
There was no time to hesitate. Gu Huai had already started the engineered device when he had the idea.
Energy was concentrated at the device port, and after about half a minute, an optical nucleus condensed. The optical nucleus rushed into the center of the vortex like a meteor.
The energy of the two nuclear groups exploded and the collision position in the sky made a screeching noise, but it seemed that the energy of the optical nucleus was still slightly insufficient.
Looking up at the sky, Gu Huai put on the magic booster he had made before, compressed the assembled elements into new optical nuclei, and threw a second attack into the whirlpool.
This time, the vortex in the sky burst directly, and the people struggling to resist on the surface finally had breathing space.
During this period, the humanoid weapon holding the dark weapon had beheaded the lich in front of him several times. Although this did not kill the other, Noah was just venting his anger.
Facing the final creation of the Ark Project, even the lich who also held an Ida crystal clearly felt the pressure.
This was the final battle. Destroying all living things in this city meant victory. The lich’s scarlet eyes suddenly became bloodier. At this moment, he withdrew all the energy that had previously sustained the undead army.
Withdrawing the power from the undead army, his magic energy was undoubtedly multiplied by several times, and at this time, the other made a surprising move.
The twisted figure took off the Ida crystal set at the top of the stave, and immediately embedded the magic gem into the half of his body that had been transformed into a machine.
“Every one of you will die here today.” Even after reforming itself, the lich’s body would still be in great pain to bear such a magic gem. With a scream, he dropped his vicious curse on the city.
The enemy’s strength could even be increased. The urgent situation undoubtedly cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of the people of all races in Ogg City. Many of them were almost exhausted just by coping with the destruction of the lightning.
At present, their only hope seemed to be the cold figure that was still directly fighting with the enemy, surrounded by the city that had become devastated and wounded clansmen, and the hoarse laughter of the enemy. Glancing at each other, leaders of all races decided one thing in silence.
Even if they placed their hopes on others, they would also contribute their share to improve the chances of realizing this hope by a few more minutes.
After solving the twisted vortex in the sky, Gu Huai had now smashed half of his various engineering devices at the enemy.
Although the lich who put down the curse on the city completely surpassed their understanding of strength with the support of the Ida crystal, he still suffered several hardships and was repeatedly restricted in his movements in the face of the various tricky engineered devices of the youth. And whenever his actions became a little slow, Noah’s deadly attacks would follow.
Why was it said to be a fatal attack was because Noah’s target was very clear every time. The black weapon he held stabbed the lich’s chest at an unavoidable angle, where the embedded Ida crystal was.
So far Noah hac repeatedly attacked this spot ten times.
If the Ida crystal embedded in the body was destroyed, it would lose its ability to dominate. This was very clear. The lich, unable to avoid Noah’s attack, made a hoarse shout, and began to emerge surging magic waves.
But just then, several chains like substance temporarily blocked the lich’s movement. At the other end of the chain were leaders of all races whose faces were almost completely gray.
There was no doubt that life magic was a kind of magic with restrained attribute to a necromancer. Life sacrifice was the most effective magic among them, but the cost was also the heaviest.
Gu Huai did not miss the opportunity created by all. The magic net and the chain of life formed a very strong cage together. The mechanical creatures also added their strength to the cage. At the same time, Noah used his weapon to penetrate the lich’s chest in an instant.
The blow caused the Ida crystal embedded in the lich body to split several cracks, and Noah had no intention of destroying it with all his might. After penetrating the lich’s chest, he dodged close to the enemy and forcibly took the contaminated Ida crystal from the enemy . Of course, this process was accompanied by the lich’s piercing cry.
Noah quickly purified the gem with his own strength. After grinding the crack to a round shape, he put the Ida crystal, which had restored its holy light, into the hands of the youth, who could use it as research materials or a toy.
Without the Ida crystal’s support, the enemy was just a spent force. Facing the humanoid weapon perfectly matched with the crystal, the other had no chance to win at this time. Or it could be said that the other had little chance of winning from the very beginning, depending on whether Noah was fighting seriously.
The humanoid weapon with the Ida crystal as its energy core basically represented the most powerful force in the current world. If you want to defeat the other, unless…
“No… you low-level creatures, never—” the shrill cry lasted for a while, the lich uttered these words in a hoarse voice, and then a more obvious change that could not be ignored occured.
This kind of change was not at the same level as before. It was a feeling of terror that made leaders of all races feel completely unable to breathe. It seemed that even time went still at this moment.
The enemy had clearly lost its source of strength. Why could his ability be further improved? This terrible pressure, so heavy that they could not move at all, was like… The ability possessed by the gods.
Each race in Eizea had its own deities. Although miracles had never been seen before, this belief had made their will more tenacious.
The twisted creature in front of them was now as powerful and invincible as the gods, yet the other was the monster that would bring the end of the world to them.
The other was simply cheating—
The extremely heavy pressure made Gu Huai have some difficulties in action at this time, and a little sweat appeared on his forehead during the resistance.
But the youth didn’t bear the pressure for long. A low and cold voice sounded in Gu Huai’s consciousness almost at the same time.
“If the used power capacity exceeds the level of the world, the violation of the world’s rule shall be determined and the ruling shall be executed.”
This voice not only sounded in Gu Huai’s consciousness space, but also conveyed to all living beings in the city. The next second, there was also a bright and dazzling change in the human-shaped weapon that was the focus of attention and the last hope.
“Noah…?” Gu Huai watched as the humanoid weapon blocked him from being overwhelmed with some surprise in his voice, and his system chirped…
The humanoid weapon that heard the voice of the youth leaned over and kissed the cheek of the youth. The system, who attached its consciousness to the soul of Noah, made this gesture after hearing the youth’s voice.
He actually touched and kissed the young man, instead of just looking on. Only in this way, Noah felt a little satisfaction, so he narrowed his eyes slightly as he pecked and kissed the young man’s cheek.
“Mmm.” The cold humanoid weapon gave a low response to the young man. After that, he moved his eyes to the twisted monster not far away.
The enemy violated the world’s rules, so Noah had a legitimate reason to intervene. It didn’t take much complicated fighting. Noah appeared near the lich, who was now obviously in a state of shock and anger.
“Erasing your existence; you are not allowed to exist in any world’s space.” At this time, Noah’s cold and handsome face revealed a kind of divinity. His voice was low and he gave a verdict to the lich who was trying to resist.
Once this sentence fell, in the eyes of people of all races under Ogg City, the distorted monster that terrified them gradually disappeared with an angry scream, and finally completely turned transparent and disappeared.
With the disappearance of this distorted figure, the haze that had enveloped the whole city’s sky gradually dispersed. All the people living in the city raised their heads and saw the celestial light that was not long lost but deeply felt by them.
The shadows receded…
The warm sunlight falling from the sky made the people in Ogg City lift their heads and feel for a while to confirm that the disaster had really dissipated, and their tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little.
Due to the demise of their ruler, the army of the undead, which had completely lost its magic support, also fell like puppets with broken strings in an instant. The front-line soldiers stopped fighting in astonishment at this moment. Before long, the cheers of the soldiers resounded through the battlefield.
Ogg City was now almost in ruins. No building was in good condition. However, even if the city became devastated, the people of all races who survived the battle were still full of hope.
They were still alive. Even if their homes were destroyed, they could rebuild them. After a period of time, Ogg City would become as prosperous as before.
“We will also help with reconstruction.” Gu Huai said so, and nodded with the mechanical creatures beside him.
Having said this, Gu Huai added: “We will go back when the basic facilities are rebuilt here.”
Gu Huai said this sentence to the mechanical creatures beside him. The humanoid machines that heard this sentence all showed obvious joy, while the other N-type robots gave a monotonous answer at this moment.
“Clearance value is 93%.” Returning to the state of an observer, the system informed the youth of the latest clearance progress.
Using magic, it was not difficult to rebuild the city initially. With the joint efforts of all people, Ogg City had returned to a habitable state in less than ten days.
Of course, it would take some time to become as beautiful and prosperous as before, but this was not something Gu Huai and the mechanical creatures needed to pay attention to, leaving it to the various races to continue their efforts.
According to their previous agreement, after the initial reconstruction of Ogg City was completed, Gu Huai and the mechanical army returned to the Royal City of the mechanical creatures, named Kelno City.
The united fight against the undead army had enabled the various races in Eizea to completely put down their old grudges and estrangement towards the mechanical creatures, they were allies, but at least now they had become friendlier.
After the First World War, all races became very awed by Noah. In Noah’s final battle, they felt the divinity revealed by the other.
After returning to the Royal City, Gu Huai lived happily with the mechanical creatures. There were no big storms in the world. They were neither the Devil king who destroyed the world nor the warriors who defeated the Devil king. All they needed to do was to live a safe life.
If there were no twists and turns, then only Gu Huai’s time limit for clearance would be reached.
The last 7% of the clearance value had been completely increased in the third year after the defeat of the undead army. Now the mainland of Eizea was both peaceful and prosperous.
“Chu Chu will see Ah Huai again soon.” At the end of the decisive battle, Noah briefly merged with the system’s consciousness, thus Noah knew many things, including the fact that the youth would leave after a certain period of time.
This would be their last parting, so that they could meet again and stay together forever.
If it was for this end, Noah could accept a short separation from the youth.
The rest of the mechanical creatures in the city were also sensitive, they were now close to the youth, the sky blue light on the electronic eyes flashing slightly, the mechanical creatures stood silently watching.
He would see them again. It was just like that. They didn’t have any more requirements but Noah raised one.
“What requirement?” Gu Huai had some doubts, after all, his family Chu Chu rarely asked him for something.
“Ah Huai, choose Chu Chu.” Noah said this sentence, he knew that the youth might not understand it now, but he still hoped to get the youth’s promise.
Choose… Why choose, Gu Huai really didn’t understand Noah’s words, but for his lover, he quickly nodded and agreed.
The system that knew the situation was silent at this moment. Everything would be known after the game was cleared and the youth retrieved his memories.
Seeing the youth nod his head and say yes, the lips of the cold humanoid weapon slightly curved upwards, and his usually cold eyes became a little warm. This was an expression of satisfaction.
The various races in Eizea did not know what happened to the Royal City of the mechanical creatures. They only knew that by the time they realized, the city where the mechanical creatures and a human were living had been completely closed.
A layer of metal-like shell of indestructible but unknown material covered the entire Royal City. From a distance, only a huge metallic hemisphere could be seen.
The various races thought it was the mechanical creatures who didn’t want to contact with the outside world, so they simply sealed off their homes completely and lived a self-sufficient life inside. But in fact, the mechanical creatures in this city just accompanied the youth to sleep together.
Shutting down their energy so they could sleep, they wanted to wait for the youth to wake up and restart the energy.
“Clearance confirmed.”
The youth passed through the world represented by each card, without any failure, that was, he did not need to enter other alternate worlds.
This meant that the youth had won the game and would soon be rewarded as the winner of the game. After saying this sentence, the system then asked in a low voice, “Is Ah Huai ready?”
“Mmm.” Gu Huai nodded his head. He was now standing at the threshold of knowing the truth of everything. He stepped in.
However, when Gu Huai finished the sentence, he was pushed into the door completely. Just like when he was entering a new world, Gu Huai had temporarily lost consciousness.
On the other side of the door was the end and starting point of fate.
