Chapter 3854 Now, He Belongs to Heaven (80% Part 2)
Washington.
Divine Realm Legion Warriors' Tactical Shrinking Zone.
The ground was littered with the corpses of troll warriors.
This is the war zone dominated by the [Magicians' Association]. The [Radiance] Tower Master, who has mastered the basics of runes, is a strategic weapon in group battles.
He was already a king who was not human, but he became even more terrifying now—especially since this was just a magical clone.
"Tower Master, the remaining enemies here have been wiped out... The enemy has retreated to their base, and we should be able to rejoin the other [Non-humans] soon!"
"Um... thank you all for your hard work."
[Radiance] is currently observing the troll warrior corpses around him... In fact, he has been studying them for a while now.
"Lord Tower Master, have you discovered something?"
[Radiance] clapped his hands and stood up. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although these invaders are full of strong individuals, I have found that not every individual in the entire legion is far superior to us... For example, the life energy of these troll warriors is probably only equivalent to that of a LV4 [Non-human].
"...These are probably just cannon fodder soldiers of the invaders!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding mages couldn't help but gasp. A level 4 [Non-human] was nothing more than cannon fodder warriors in the enemy's eyes!
"The gap between the two extraordinary civilizations is simply too great..."
The fact that this battle was able to be fought back and achieve the current results can be attributed entirely to the fact that the world's top experts and the enemy's power plummeted after being suddenly cursed!
The gap in overall strength between the two sides is truly disheartening.
If the Dragon Lord hadn't single-handedly withstood all the enemy gods... would the outcome of the battle have been completely reversed?
This also raises a question: Just how powerful is the true dragon of China?
"We are still making progress." [Radiance]'s voice was like a spring breeze. "The enemy's extraordinary civilization may be much more advanced than ours, but it is definitely not something that can be developed in a hundred or two hundred years. They may have gone through tens of millions of years... We can too."
"The Tower Master is right! If we admit defeat, humanity will have no future!"
Morale... has been somewhat boosted, but the situation is still far from optimistic—this is the first time the world has been invaded by a foreign enemy, so what about the second time, the third time?
[Radiance] looked at the sky with a complicated expression... Where does humanity's future lie?
"Lord Tower, someone from the Holy See has come to invite us to join forces and form a defensive line to prevent the enemy from breaking through!"
“Then let’s join forces.” [Radiance] nodded. “We should indeed prevent the invaders from escaping. If these guys leave the Washington battlefield and scatter and hide around the world, we’ll be in big trouble.”
—This must be what Strauss meant.
—Although the old rogue is unreliable, his insightful thinking is always on point…
At this moment, two figures engaged in fierce combat appeared in the distance—one of whom was easily recognizable to the mages present.
That's the national hero that the United States launched earlier, the "Soldier of the Motherland"!
As for the other one...
"【Abraham】?" 【Radiance】 looked at the two sides fighting fiercely in surprise. He still had a deep impression of this unexpected contestant who had suddenly emerged in the arena.
In particular, when his other magical clone attacked the building, he discovered that Abraham was also hunting down the Dead Apostles in the city... in a cruel, devouring manner!
"President, according to the news from the Chinese Embassy, the incident was caused by former Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., Wayne, conspiring with a guy who calls himself 'Wednesday'..." The association deacon next to him said in a deep voice, "This 'Homeland Soldier' is Wayne's man. Should we help the other one?"
“Let’s observe carefully first.” [Radiance] pondered and said, “[Abraham]...it’s not time for him to need help yet.”
In fact, although the battle between the two sides was fierce, Abraham was gaining the upper hand more often... The armor of the Fatherland Soldiers was blasted to pieces in many places.
“Indeed, I don’t think this [Soldier of the Motherland] can hold out for much longer.” The association’s deacon nodded. “Could it be that this [Abraham] has also entered the LV7 mythical realm?”
Although the "Homeland Soldier" is a man-made weapon created through technology and ruthless work, calling it a pseudo-LV7 is not wrong at all. However, in terms of physical strength and attack power, this guy has genuinely reached the theoretical threshold of LV7.
Earlier, even with Lancelot's full strength, he could only manage a draw... or even be slightly at a disadvantage.
Is Abraham now even more powerful than Lancelot?
"He's still improving." [Radiance] sighed softly. "What terrifying talent..."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, unaware that their tower master was referring to Abraham, who could become stronger through "eating"!
Although people all over the world say that this is a world that eats people, what would it be like if a monster that "eats people" actually appeared in the world?
……
In an alleyway amidst the ruins, the girl skillfully cut off the ear of a Dead Apostle and stuffed it into a cloth bag.
The bag was now full... almost entirely filled with spoils like these, including some troll warrior ears.
The girl killed him casually while hunting down the "Dead Apostles" with the strange exorcist John.
After reaping this trophy, Taina breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead... She looked up, frowned, and then climbed and jumped along the wall, quickly reaching the rooftop.
"All done, where to next?"
Taina asked with some dissatisfaction—this guy is treating her like a servant... for the sake of the hourly wage!
That being said, Tina felt that John was truly something, after all, he was able to lead her to precisely hunt down the Dead Apostles in such a chaotic battlefield... without anyone even noticing their duo, perfectly avoiding everyone, whether friend or foe... it was quite amazing.
“I’m not going anywhere. There are almost no Dead Apostles left,” John said without turning his head.
"What are you looking at?" the girl asked curiously as she walked over.
John was holding a telescope, looking ahead with great interest.
"Do you want to see?" John turned around and said with a light laugh.
"I won't look!" The girl immediately turned her face away.
John then went behind the girl, put his arms around her neck, and held the binoculars in front of her eyes—this action made the girl panic a little, feel her ears getting hot, and her heart beating a little faster...
"I really don't want to watch it, but I think you might be interested."
A mature, magnetic male voice gently rang in the girl's ear... along with the rich, yet not unpleasant, smell of his cigarettes.
Tina even found the tobacco smell somewhat pleasant, like sweet nuts.
But my gaze still unconsciously drifted to the distance through the binoculars.
"That is……"
The moment she saw the murderer who had wiped out her tribe, the fear hidden deep within her was instantly released, and the girl's body couldn't help but tremble slightly... She even subconsciously leaned against John's chest.
He...he doesn't seem to have a body temperature?
“That’s that big star called ‘Soldier of the Motherland,’” John said in a dialect the girl could understand. “He looks like he’s about to give up. You seem to know ‘Soldier of the Motherland’?”
"No...I don't know him..." The girl took a deep breath, not daring to reveal her hatred. "Is he...is he very popular?"
“Who knows?” John said casually. “Perhaps by now he has become someone everyone hates.”
"What?" The girl was taken aback.
John then whispered almost in the girl's ear, "How about we hunt down this former national star?"
In that instant, the girl didn't feel happy, but rather... John found out?
"Really...really?" The girl's voice was almost trembling.
Just then, a slight pain came... John pinched the girl's soft cheek and teased, "What kind of daydream are you having? With me and you... what are you thinking? Can you fly? You can't even reach the [Soldier of the Motherland], strong Taina."
"Don't call me by that name!!!"
The girl instantly bent her elbow and nudged the man behind her.
John easily dodged and continued fiddling with his binoculars... but this time, it seemed he wasn't looking at the [Homeland Soldier] and [Abraham] locked in combat.
"Let me see... I've found another pathetic creature."
On a dilapidated street, a disheveled figure could be seen leaning against an overturned car...
……
……
a moment ago.
In the secret room.
After a sustained struggle, Chief Wayne managed to turn himself from a seated figure into one that had fallen to the ground—yet the chair strapped to him remained firmly in place.
Quite some time has passed... Director Wayne has no idea where his biological son, who is on his way here, has arrived.
Still on the way?
Or have they already arrived nearby... or even just outside the door?
His voice was released; this was a unique technique of the Divine Warrior. Not to mention that Director Wayne was essentially just an ordinary person, even if he were a "non-human," he probably wouldn't be able to decipher it easily.
How to do?
He could only struggle and pray that when the most desperate moment came, he could find a glimmer of hope... This was an enormous test of a person's willpower.
Fortunately, Wayne was very confident in his willpower... He was sure he could persevere to the end!
"Soldier……"
As Director Wayne collapsed to the ground, watching the battle on the television screen, a sudden thought struck him: if the soldiers were here, none of the current predicaments would matter!
With a determined clench of his teeth, Chief Wayne snapped his own wrist to loosen the ropes binding him. The method, though crude, worked!
Having recovered from the intense pain, Director Wayne managed to free one arm... His wrist was immobile, but his arm was!
He managed to hook Situ Leiming's foot, pulling the already dead Situ Leiming down to the ground, dragging him little by little in front of him, and began searching for anything on Situ Leiming's corpse that might be of help to him.
But apart from his clothes, this old fellow had nothing of any use on him... No, wait, Situ Leiming actually kept a dagger close to his body?
Director Wayne was overjoyed; this was the feeling that when all hope is lost, there is always a way out!
He stared intently at Situ Leiming.
—Old man…you wouldn’t be so kind as to leave me with hope…
After the initial euphoria, Director Wayne's suspicious and cautious nature once again took hold of his mind—and soon, he realized the purpose behind Situ Leiming carrying that dagger!
Even though he managed to loosen one arm, his other hand was still nailed to the wall by specially made handcuffs and chains!
He couldn't unlock them no matter what he tried; the dagger wasn't enough to cut the chains, nor could it pry open these specially made handcuffs—he only had two options.
You either have to use a dagger to dig the chains out of the solid wall, or you have to cut off your other wrist!
Digging into the wall is possible, but it takes too much time—and Director Wayne can't afford to waste even a second of that time these days!
—Do you think this will stump me?
—You're overthinking it!
"You're overthinking it! Situ Leiming!!"
Drawn a dagger, Director Wayne frantically stabbed Situ Leiming's corpse with it... After stabbing him more than a dozen times, the blood-stained dagger suddenly slashed at his own other wrist!
"Hmph—!!!!"
Convulsions, suffocation, dizziness, auditory hallucinations... came one after another. Chief Wayne bit down hard on the dagger handle, almost breaking his teeth.
Taking deep breaths at an extremely rapid pace, Director Wayne slowly crawled up, and with immense willpower, gradually untied his legs, then removed the vest covered in bombs.
He didn't have much time left. In the midst of his struggle, he had already figured out how to leave this place after he escaped—he had carefully studied the environment of the secret room!
Situ Leiming probably didn't have much time to make arrangements, so the door to the secret room wasn't completely locked, but it was connected to a simple mechanism. If someone outside broke down the door and triggered the remote control on the mechanism... it would probably detonate the bomb vest.
For a former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. with a background in special agents, dismantling such a mechanism would probably be easier than dismantling a gun... Director Wayne only breathed a slight sigh of relief after obtaining the remote control for the bomb vest.
But his time was still of the essence!
After a moment of calm reflection, Wayne suddenly dragged over Situ Leiming's body, tentatively opened the door to the secret room, threw Situ Leiming's body out, and quickly closed the door again... After muttering to himself for about a minute, Director Wayne slowly opened the door again.
—Damn it…
Director Wayne could only curse in his heart... He threw Situ Leiming's body back into the secret room, closed the door, and then left!
This place is clearly not a very secluded spot; there's only one staircase leading up—it's probably a converted basement somewhere.
Soon, Director Wayne emerged from an alleyway in a street after climbing the stairs.
The city outside was in ruins. After the fierce battle between the Dead Apostles, the warriors of the Divine Realm, and the human powerhouses, it resembled a war-torn wasteland bombed by modern long-range weapons, with a thick smell of gunpowder filling the air!
Outside the street, there was no one, only billowing smoke... Chief Wayne observed for a long time and confirmed that no one was nearby... Had his own child not found this place yet?
No... it's also possible that Situ Leiming is just deceiving himself?
He leaned against an overturned muscle car, breathing weakly... He was already dozens of meters away from the basement that had imprisoned him.
—Situ Leiming…
—You can keep the bomb!
A cruel smile crept across Chief Wayne's bloodless face as he swiftly pressed the controller in his hand—BOOM—!!!
BOOM!!
BOOM...BOOM?
The expected explosion did not occur, nor did it produce any tremors. The surroundings were as quiet as a farm in the suburbs at night!
A look of doubt flashed across Director Wayne's face, which quickly turned into unease... A thought struck him, and he suddenly slammed the remote control in his hand to the ground and crushed it.
A crumpled paper ball rolled out from inside.
Chief Wayne grew increasingly uneasy... He hesitated before picking up the paper ball and hurriedly crumpling it up.
—[If you didn't press this button, I'll thank you for sparing my body.]
—[If you press the button, then congratulations…you will become the murderer who slaughters your children and the entire city.]
—【This is a B61-13 detonator, part of a plot by General Ross, oh, by the military radicals.】
— [Congratulations, you only have three minutes left to reflect on your life.]
——[Last...you're just a joke! 】
F*CK!!
The military, how could they?!
In an instant, Director Wayne understood General Ross's true intentions... The military is not incapable of doing such things! They had conducted similar operations in the last century!
This filthy military-industrial complex!!
A feeling of weakness, powerlessness, and despair caused the adrenaline surge from escaping death to quickly subside... Director Wayne collapsed to his knees.
—Situ Leiming, is this your true revenge against me...?
……
The building, once used to amplify spiritual power in the "Revelation"... In the buried delivery truck beneath the building, inside a metal box, a countdown instantly lights up.
