Chapter 192 ·Just the beginning
When his feet touched the ground, a familiar feeling emerged in Jiang Yu's heart.
He felt like he was back to the time when he had just embarked on his second journey of reincarnation, setting foot on the Nosmo spaceship in World 2, facing those aliens whose combat power and specifications were unknown with a feeling of anxiety and expectation. scene.
The enemy is definitely not weak, and has unknown back-up plans and details.
But he himself is not that weak.
Even though a large part of his power was suppressed by the Lord God, he could still easily defeat the group of hostile soldiers in front of him. And even the powerful Scorpion King, who could theoretically rival Hercules, may not be his enemy at this moment.
Probably, maybe.
Holding the Spear of Judgment in his hand, he held up the Shield of the Round Table and kept moving forward. Several Theban soldiers avoided on their own initiative. The Scorpion King's army standing in front of him was thrown away like insects.
go ahead.
Brave warriors appeared in front of him one after another.
However, whether they were fighting alone, in groups, or even forming formations, they tried to attack them with numerical superiority. I am fearless.
So what if reinforcement is limited?
The energy pool and physique are greatly reduced, and even the armor cannot be perfectly adapted, so what?
My own genetic lock state is not false. And even if he doesn't open the gene lock, the biological perception formed by vibrations can clearly gather all the surrounding information into his heart.
——There are six directly in front and three on the side.
The soldiers rushed over with their spears, and all the spears were broken under the strong surface of the shield of the Round Table. Each blow of the spear of judgment can bring up one or several blood flowers. As for the warriors who tried to rush over from the side and attack with sledgehammers and axes, even if they succeeded in hitting, they would never be able to break through the Terminator armor's defense.
But Jiang Yu didn't intend to let them hit.
Strengthening being suppressed is not a bad thing. At least this way, the energy in your body can be controlled more finely. The abundant resource reserves brought by foresight made him accustomed to being lavish in battle. Well, before this habit turns into a weakness, it might be helpful to experience what it feels like to be budget-conscious.
Move sideways and feel the subtle changes in every muscle fiber in your body.
Feeling the subtle shift in the ill-fitting armor on his body.
Correct them and guide them so that even at this time, they can still exert their maximum combat effectiveness.
Body, move one foot horizontally.
Several swords and axes, which were originally impossible to break through the defense, scraped through a large area of air in front of the armor.
It doesn't seem to be very difficult.
The spear in Jiang Yu's hand turned, death was the only outcome for this group of attackers. He clearly sensed that in addition to the front and sides, there were also soldiers wielding weapons attacking him from behind. However, they don't need to care about it at all.
Because Kasumi dealt with them.
Xia was like a shadow, quietly following behind him. After she was given the responsibility of long-range bombardment and spellcasting, she became taciturn... No, it wasn't that she became taciturn, but that she spent too much time on research and development and training. And Kasumi...never gets close to anyone other than herself.
——Xia is very happy now.
Jiang Yu thought. His third-level gene lock can help her clearly feel Xia's excited heart - only Xia's power loss is the weakest among the Lord God's enhanced suppression. Because her qigong was only converted to level C, and the level B qigong, which was ten times the basic level C, came from the combined efforts of her and herself.
Now, Xia's combat power in the Zhongzhou team may be ranked fourth...or even third.
Instead of hiding far away, use artillery and spells to support yourself. Fighting side by side with him would definitely be more in line with Xia Xia's inner wishes.
——I should really spend more time with her.
Jiang Yu breathed out gently, feeling Xia's heartbeat and Xia's pace - her body and mind were always in sync with his. Every time he advances, she will surely follow him accurately.
The Scorpion King is not far ahead. Just like the initial scene in the movie, several brave Theban warriors had fallen under the warrior's sword and shield - he clearly saw Jiang Yu, just as Jiang Yu also directly Watching him the same.
——The magnetic field rotates, 4,600 horses.
The biggest advantage of magnetic field rotation is that at low levels it can provide power and speed that far exceeds the level enhancement. Even though Jiang Yu couldn't even reach the first level at the moment, his explosive speed still reached the critical point of subsonic speed.
One chop.
Blood burst out from the Scorpion King's throat.
Jiang Yu was very sure that he did not exert enough fatal force in the blow just now. Of course he knew that he could kill the Scorpion King in front of him with one blow, but he didn't want to do it right away.
But the Scorpion King is still dead.
When he failed, that was when he died - even five thousand years ago, he failed and did not die immediately.
The burly body fell to the ground. The flow of life is rapid and unstoppable.
Before this ancient warrior died, he uttered a sentence that was almost like a motto in the legendary world view of gods and ghosts.
"Death is just the beginning."
He breathed his last.
His subordinates fled without any panic, and their morale did not collapse because of the death of the monarch.
They just fought and kept fighting. Until the Theban defenders, who were already stronger than them, killed them all.
The battle is over.
The branch plot given by the Lord God and the trials shaped by the gods did not end here.
The sun in the sky gradually shifted, and the corpses that fell on the ground gradually misted under the sunlight. It disintegrated into large tracts of black smoke and floated in all directions beyond the reach of the reincarnators.
……………………
Chu Xuan walked into the Central Temple - no one stopped him along the way. He had some small but complex interactions with the city's residents. The result of the interaction was to verify part of his conjectures.
This is not the past, not five thousand years ago. This world has a fixed height of sky, a fixed depth of earth, and fixed distant boundaries. The Samsaras had no way to leave, let alone get support from outside the battlefield of Thebes.
This is not reality. People are living creatures. They can breathe, talk, sing and dance, but they cannot think. They just follow fixed rules and do fixed things. Even if their companions die in front of them, their actions will not exceed the expectations of the reincarnators.
This is no illusion - the touch, the regular constants, and even the protection of the gods are still there. The physical order still exists, and running a theoretically unsolvable equation will not overload the world - there is no doubt that this is a demiplane, an independent space, a piece of rules and order, all based on the will of Anubis The wilderness of trial above.
"Death is just the beginning." Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses gently, even if he was not on the front line. When the Scorpion King died, the same words appeared in his throat simultaneously.
"This is the realm of Anubis, and the power of Anubis will be demonstrated in the form of death."
His footsteps echoed in the temple, and his eyes wandered inside the temple - there were no secret treasures or mechanisms in the great temple that the reincarnations needed to guard in the main mission, and there were no girls or boys with abnormal behavior.
There are only nine things in the temple.
Those are the nine statues of gods, which belong to the nine pillars of the Egyptian mythology system. Sun, wind, rain, earth, sky, death, life, Hades, storm. The nine gods quietly occupy nine different positions. Only Anubis, who should be the local host, is missing.
Anubis is not here.
The reincarnators were asked to guard this place.
So, does this mean that the Scorpion King's ultimate goal is to capture this place?
Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. At this moment, he might have seen through everything that was represented and hidden here. The only thing lacking is the solution to break the situation.
"Li Shuaixi." He suddenly spoke, not through the communication channel, but directly asked: "Do you hate me?"
Li Shuaixi, who had been following him silently, stiffened for a moment.
Farther away, Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong's ears quietly pricked up.
"It's nothing." After a moment of stiffness, Li Shuaixi shook his head vigorously. "You gave me strength and shelter. You took care of me and helped me in many places. I am only grateful to you..."
"But the only thing I haven't given you is dignity." Chu Xuan's voice was still calm. "It's not that I can't understand the feelings of experimental animals. I also know that you don't expect to be a simple bodyguard, but have your own ideas and wishes. It's natural for you to hate me, and this does not conflict with your gratitude. .”
"...Nothing." Li Shuaixi's answer did not change.
"Dignity needs to be gained by oneself, and shame needs to be washed away by oneself." Chu Xuan's voice was unhurried.
However, the content inside was like thunder.
"You have one chance now to kill me."
Zhan Lan opened his eyes wide and covered his mouth subconsciously.
"And you don't have to worry about being reckoned with later. Others will understand and forgive this behavior. And that's the commitment and judgment I can give."
Silence - silence lasted for several long seconds.
Chu Xuan, who had been suppressed and strengthened, was indeed as fragile as an ordinary person at this moment. Maybe just one blow would break his neck.
Li Shuaixi's fingers trembled.
He seemed to want to do something and say something. But in the end, he did nothing.
He just lowered his head and stood behind Chu Xuan like a shadow as usual.
He passed up the opportunity.
"Oh, why are you leaving so fast?" Zhan Lan couldn't help but burst into tears, interrupting the silence. "Were you discussing something just now? There seems to be nothing in this place."
Li Shuaixi remained silent.
But Chu Xuan just pushed up his glasses slightly.
"It's just an immature conjecture." His tone remained unchanged as before. "Don't worry, it's not something valuable."
"Uh... tell me in detail?" Zhan Lan looked like a curious baby. Zhang Jie was still fishing outside the temple, and Zhao Yingkong also walked quietly behind her.
"It's better not to say anything." Chu Xuan cast his gaze to the distance outside the temple. "If you speak out, the consequences will be serious...so serious that this reincarnation team may not be able to bear it."
"Even though death is just the beginning."
Just the beginning.
When the first day is over and the sun shines down on the second day. The Scorpion King and his army once again appeared in the wilderness outside the city of Thebes.
From the Scorpion King himself to ordinary soldiers. Everyone's fighting power was twice as strong as the previous day.
