Chapter 137 ·Unable to escape
The storm is getting bigger and bigger.
The visibility dropped from ten meters to five meters. Even with the eyesight of a reincarnation and the advanced sighting system on the armor, the situation could not be improved much.
Jiang Yu stood on the restarted land-based giant ship, not in a good mood - bad things still happened. The senior members of the Zhongzhou Team exhausted all their efforts and used various methods, but in the end they were not able to save them. Immortun, who had only a piece of activated yellow sand left, was completely killed. They even knocked Immorton back into human form from the yellow sand, and then pierced him with the Spear of Judgment. However, the final result was that there was no sign of life left in Immorton's body, but the reincarnators could not escape from the battlefield.
Cannot be annihilated.
No matter from any angle, Immorton is already a dead man. But the main mission is stuck on this last step... Zheng Zha once consulted Evelin, an expert on ancient Egyptian culture, for this purpose, and he came to the conclusion that -
'He is dead! You can't kill a dead man again! ’
Very reasonable.
But the Lord God obviously does not approve of this theory.
In desperation, the reincarnator had no choice but to go home. Head to the Tomb Keeper's base and see if these serious descendants of ancient Egypt have any suitable means at hand.
——They probably don’t have either.
Jiang Yu thought that he had completely given up hope that the tomb keeper would have the means.
Because if the tomb keeper really had a way to get rid of Immorton, then during the long years when this thousand-year-old rice dumpling was trapped in the insect-eating coffin, he could not move. They would have used a more reliable method to completely annihilate Immorton, who had no ability to resist, and completely eradicate this monster that was destined to bring huge disasters as long as it was resurrected.
They didn't do it - before them, in the distant ancient Egyptian era, there was no shortage of pharaohs and powerful priests. Likewise, no one has done this.
There may be some other reasons for this - such as the fact that Immorton, who committed the crime of killing the pharaoh, must suffer forever. But considering that the user will be engraved with the mark of Anubis, the Golden Sun Book contains the incantation to resurrect Immorton and Ansuna. That means that Anubis's rules set the curse of insect bites in exchange for powerful mana, and divine power can only be counteracted by divine power.
——The light of the soul...is it considered a divine power?
Jiang Yu is not sure, because the subsequent settings of the Infinity series are too complicated and there are many conflicts with each other. But he remembers it in the original world line. Zheng Zha, who was in the fourth middle school stage, returned to the world of the Lord of the Rings before the final battle, and killed multiple 'gods' and 'demons' in the bloody battle. Based on the setting that the light of the soul can only be held by unlocking the gene lock in the middle of the fourth stage under normal circumstances, it can be determined that the light of the soul should correspond to divine power and correspond to the ability of the divine bloodline in S-level exchange. .
——The death judged by the Lord God is the real death, the death we need.
——So, the only kill record of the original Immorton. It can only be holy light, it can only be divine power, the light of the soul. And if we can't meet this requirement, maybe even if we repeat the plot of the second part and push Immorton into the abyss, we still won't be able to really kill him. This will successfully end the main line and return to the main god space.
——It’s really abominable... The Indian team has nothing to do with life. Being dead actually posed a problem for me.
Jiang Yu clenched her fists - he wasn't too afraid to fight a BB branch. After iterating on himself three times, he was sure to give it a try even if he changed to A-level. And he also believes that his companions can do it, because the team's strength rating will not be updated until the end of the world. And the current Central Continent team is indeed more powerful than the Lord God's rating.
But those are just veterans, not newcomers. Although he didn't know those newcomers very well, and he wasn't very interested in contacting them. But the team battle points are here, and watching people who could have survived go to death... This feeling is indeed not a good one.
but……
"Compassion does not control soldiers." Put your five fingers together. A ball of rough yellow sand blown by the strong wind turned into powder in the center of the palm.
The Central-Continent team does not yet have an official captain - but now the decision-making power is in his hands. And since we have shouldered this responsibility, we must naturally have corresponding responsibilities.
"You seem to be in a bad mood?" Zheng Zha's voice came over, and he walked through the dust and came to the front deck where Jiang Yu was. "This doesn't seem like your style. Or is it a trouble unique to teenagers?"
"I'm not old enough to need a psychiatrist, Zheng Zha." Jiang Yu shook her head and continued to look at the yellow sand in front of her. "I just didn't expect that there would be another big war after the big war. It was unplanned and a little unexpected."
"Perhaps you can understand the previous battle as a warm-up." Zheng Zha leaned his arms on the guardrail, and looked with Jiang Yu into the distance covered by the sandstorm - the howling wind was extremely noisy, but even if the communication channel was not used , the conversation between them can also be clearly captured with the extraordinary ear power of a senior person. "To be honest, I'm actually a little uncomfortable with it...weak enemies, overwhelming tactics, and layouts and plans that are easily seen through. Except for leaving a little tail at the end, I haven't fought since I entered the world of reincarnation. Such an easy battle.”
"We suffered a lot before," he said. "From Resident Evil to Alien. We are always facing enemies that are more powerful than us. And then we overcome them all in bloody battles. This kind of life has almost become our normal life, and before leaving for this world, I I am also ready to face the life-and-death crisis as before. Not just me, but others as well."
"Jiang Yu, we are not afraid of strong enemies - even if we go straight to the Temple of Set. We have overcome so many difficulties together. This one is not missing."
His speaking skills are indeed better than Jiang Yu's. Not only does he provide evidence, but his tone is also full of sincerity. And every word does not mention the topic but every sentence stays on topic. This is exactly the difference between the office director and the freshman. Jiang Yu is indeed not that good at dealing with people.
"We are ready." And Jiang Yu did not refuse this kindness. "But not everyone is ready."
"...Newcomer?" Zheng Zha raised his eyebrows - although it was blocked by the helmet, Jiang Yu felt this movement. "That's right. I forgot that you are only nineteen years old. It's normal that you can't do this kind of thing. Then, how about I make the suggestion when the time comes?"
The corners of Jiang Yu's mouth twitched slightly.
He was surprised...very surprised. He really didn't expect that Zheng Zha would say such things.
"If the main group line above B level is activated, we will not have enough energy to take care of the newcomers. And the possibility of them successfully surviving the test... is very slim. Before this, I always thought you would be on the other side. position."
Zheng Zha is a good old man, and sometimes he is even said to be the Holy Mother - although this is him in the later period. But in the early stage, when he does not have enough absolute power to affect the situation...
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes. He should have gotten used to this change earlier.
"I stand in the shoes of everyone and this team." Zheng Zha's tone seemed to be a little funny. "Jiang Yu, I have been in society for a long time. I know very well how big the gap is between helping with a little effort and doing good deeds that are beyond my ability in time. If you want to do good deeds, you must first have the ability to do good deeds. , for those who can’t swim, if they bravely jump into the water to rescue, the result will only be death for both of them.”
"I'm not sure how you have this perception of me... If one day I can easily protect the people around me, then I probably won't show kindness to strangers in need. But now, I know that I I have a few pounds and a few taels, but I will not do anything that is beyond my power, but instead throw the important partners around me into a pit of fire."
Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds.
"I was wrong," he said, admitting his fallacy. "Then, if there is nothing the tombkeeper can do, I will make a decision to go to the Temple of Set."
"Let's try our best to give the newcomers some weight to protect themselves." Zheng Zha gave some supplements and steps. "The tombkeepers have a lot of equipment and talismans. They should be able to use things that we can't use. I'm not too worried about Zhao Yingkong, but Qi Tengyi... you gave him that book, right? He actually Can you use it?"
"So it was Evelin you ended up looking for?" Jiang Yu, paying attention to the key points is rather strange - although the fact that Qi Tengyi can indeed use that book is even more strange.
"After all, Evelin is indeed more reliable... Although she is noisier, her pronunciation is more standard." Zheng Zha didn't think there was any problem. On the contrary, he was a little happy because the topic had changed.
He even took out the Black Book of the Dead. Showing the mark of Anubis hidden by the nanosuit on the palm of his hand.
"I learned several spells from her...such as summoning mummies, sandstorms, and ghost tornadoes. By the way, I still have some ideas..."
The discussion gradually became heated, and the newly acquired spell-casting ability indeed opened a new door for Zheng Zha. He couldn't wait to share the information with his close comrades. Then, make progress together.
……………………
A few hours later, the box containing Immorton was delivered to the Gravekeeper's base.
And just as Jiang Yu expected, the tombkeepers were powerless to do anything to the dead Immorton. They even thought it would be okay to just put Imogen back to the depths of Hamna Tower's underground palace. According to them, Immorton's soul has been shattered. As long as it is sealed back into the Worm-Eating Coffin, it will continue to suffer and suffer in its eternal cage.
To put it simply, it cannot be killed.
Moreover, they also brought bad news to the Central Continent team.
'This storm is not normal, it is the wrath of Set, and He will not stop easily. The foreigners must have desecrated the palace of Seth, and it was the tombkeeper's job to appease the god's anger. I suggest you get out of here as soon as possible...if you can. ’
The interface that took advantage of the situation was clearly placed in front of the reincarnators of the Central Continent Team.
And sure enough, Zhan Lan brought even worse news to the Zhongzhou team.
——"The sandstorm extended to the sea and turned into a huge barrier isolating the outside. We may not be able to leave Egypt."
