[... Yes. I haven't recalled this emotion for a long time.]

"The universe."

Du Zexin's tone was a little excited. "These things really exist, they sound beautiful."

"It's not all beautiful - there are many strange races in the universe, most of them are willing to communicate, and some are particularly conservative. In fact, the strength of individuals does not mean much in the universe. Because there is a very evil monster in the universe called 'society'."

"Society?"

Du Zexin asked curiously:

"What society? Patriarchal or feminist?"

[Since a long time ago, games have become a job of fighting and making money. I have forgotten that in the beginning, I was satisfied with playing games happily and enjoying the plot and background.]

"Society is evil. They feed on civilization. They are an ethnic group, such as 'Longtooth Society - Galil'. Longtooth is its honorific, society is its race, and Galil is its name. The existence of society has made it difficult for you to fight for life and death in the past to be promoted to a strong individual. Individual strong individuals who thought they were invincible in the world have become ridiculous marginal people - except for Narrative-level Civilization, individuals cannot resist the disaster of society."

"It's strange that aloof individual strong people have no status in the universe. Then why do they still promote themselves?" Du Zexin didn't understand this. "If an individual is strong, then it should be easy for a group of people to serve one individual in the universe. Everyone serves the strong person wholeheartedly and is protected by the power of these individuals..."

"The universe is too big. Except for Narrative-level, no one can guarantee that their strength will last forever."

"Then why do they still want to get stronger? Just focus on Narrative-level Civilization."

Li Aoz explained:

"Fear of death, and fear of assimilation into society."

"Assimilation?"

Li Aoz turned his head and looked ahead. The traffic in front suddenly became very congested.

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but society particularly likes two kinds of people. One kind is particularly intelligent. People with higher intelligence are more likely to identify with the existence of society. They will think that a society like Living Civilization is the real way to civilization. Therefore, people with higher intelligence will be more likely to be assimilated into society as citizens."

"Mechanics, biochemists, magicians, architects, and some researchers who have studied too deeply, you have to understand one thing - intelligence is an ability attribute that appears due to education. Accepting education means that you have accepted the transformation of civilization. The more intelligent a person is, the more his wisdom is and beyond this era, the more he will recognize the existence of society and become extremely radical."

Du Zexin Slowly slowed down, avoided the cars on the highway, and stepped forward step by step.

"What about the other one?"

Du Zexin asked, but he scanned the surrounding vehicles strangely.

'Why are the people in these cars lying down? Could it be that the level ahead has been suspended? '

"The other type is the marginalized people I'm talking about. They are not very popular with mainstream society. Most of them are physically and mentally unhealthy, and their psychological defenses are weak and can be easily broken through. Those self-righteous individual strong people eventually become members of society and speaker, losing their own souls."

Li Aoz also noticed something was wrong. He stood up and [Eye of Truth] swept forward.

In the gray and black world, he saw a completely different color.

A man stood in front of the checkpoint, and all the cars stopped in front of him. One after another, a serious rear-end accident occurred.

The man was wearing a cloak and his back was stooped, as if he had no spine.

He was standing here, with open wounds on his fingertips, dripping silver blood on the ground, as if he was waiting for them.

Li Aoz frowned.

[Eye of Truth] Focused on this guy, only one line of words appeared:

[Target is secret, cannot be seen]

"Secret?"

Li Aoz was afraid. For some reason, when he heard this word, an unknown fire burst into his heart. He directly pulled out the weapon from his waist and slashed at the opponent with a radiation slash.

Du Zexin Without thinking, when he saw Li Aoz attacking, he immediately raised the Magnum beam rifle, pointed it at the mysterious man on the ground, and pulled the trigger.

However, the next moment, Li Aoz heard an extremely uncomfortable sound, Terror, terrifying, like the sound of countless knife tips colliding and metal tearing. He unconsciously thought of a creature - the big White Shark.

"[Shark Hunting Submerge]."

The man's voice was heartbreaking.

pounding——

The earth was suddenly split by the back of a blade, and a shark diving underground instantly jumped out of the ground, easily blocking Li Aoz's radiation slash. The scales on its body, like overlapping blades, shone with an icy brilliance under the light of Artificial Sun.

The blade shark flicked its tail and immediately deflected the Magnum's beam, cutting off a hill in the distance on the spot.

After doing all this, the Blade Sharks immediately surrounded the man. As he approached the exit gate, Outland's strong wind immediately swept over his cloak and rolled up his hood, revealing a childish and excessive face.

Golden hair, golden eyes, and cross-shaped slits in his pupils. Other than that, he looked like a normal boy.

...No.

Li Aoz's eyes moved downwards. In the man's left hand, he held a strange spinal crutch, which was covered with human skin and a girl's head.

It's just that the head looks very familiar to Li Aoz. I don't know where I've seen it before.

"Who are you!"

Du Zexin whispered:

"Did you kill all the civilians in these cars? Who are you?"

The boy with cross eyes ignored him and looked at Li Aoz: "Long time no see, do you still remember me?"

Li Aoz remained silent, his eyes were cold, his pupils were dilated, his face turned pale for an instant, and then returned to normal the next moment.

He just took a breath, and the system prompted him to inhale 'Blood of Ether', and his blood volume instantly returned to zero.

If it weren't for Nomi's [Blood of Immortality], he would have been killed on the spot just because of that 'Blood of Ether'.

"Du Zexin, something is wrong with this guy."

"Look what you said," the young man chuckled, staring at Li Aoz with cross-eyed eyes, an ambiguous smile appeared on his cute and handsome face, "You are my great benefactor - Mr. Li Aoz."

"Benefactor?"

"Look at this, are you still impressed?"

The young man raised his cane.

The next moment, a shadow rushed out and pushed Li Aoz to the ground. The ferocious shadow roared angrily at Li Aoz, the roar mixed with unspeakable sadness.

"Shadow Assault!" Li Aoz struggled to break free and chopped Shadow to the ground with a sword, and his pupils immediately shrank.

He thought of something and looked at the other party:

"Hey, are you-"

"In the past, I was called Zhu Baiya, a Outland gang leader who served Infant Eater."

The young man put his cane on the ground and smiled, "Before I died, I heard you say: It's better to gather more people next time. There are too few people, not enough for me to advance."

"You killed me, but I'm afraid you don't know the effect of the Esha Armed that Infant Eater sent that night - Third Generation Esha Armed, which can directly allow the user to replace the body! You didn't expect it? Have you never seen it before? Unfortunately, it can only be used once, so I used its ability to replace the dead body with this perfect qualified one."

The wind blew away the hair on the head on crutches, revealing the face of a happy-looking girl.

"...Zonia."

Li Aoz recalled the name of the scarred Esha Armed girl and said in a deep voice.

"It's amazing that you saved everyone, Li Aoz - but why didn't you save her?"

The boy reached out and pinched Zonia's face. The girl who had been turned into a weapon seemed to be conscious, grinning happily, as if she was intoxicated in a dream.

"Zonia, my good sister." The young man murmured and giggled, "Do you know how touching and cute it was when I put on the body of your brother Yuhelai and sacrificed to save me?"

"You beast." Du Zexin said with disgust, "You didn't let a child go, and you used her love for her brother... to make her a tool."

"What's going on?" The boy shrugged.

"Are you still a fucking human being if you do something like this?"

Du Zexin shouted angrily:

"I'm going to kill you! You beast—"

"Who told you that I am a human being?"

The young man said, and the next moment, he stretched out his hand and slowly grabbed his spine:

"You should consider yourself lucky because it was a jury that eliminated you."

His golden cross pupils instantly turned scarlet, and he slowly pulled out a bloody sword blade from the spine behind his back.

"Great Mother Gaia, she gave me a new name."

He raised the sword with one hand and drew a circle on the top of his head. The blood vessels could hardly restrain the Blood of Ether rushing in his body.

"Now, I am Yuhelai Knight——[White Knight]Yuhelai!"

Yuhelai's teeth were as sharp as sharks. He roared loudly and let out a roar like hell:

"Armor Descent!"

The next moment, the huge White Shark turned its head and fell towards his body. Countless dense scale blades on its body converged into pale armor, which was clearly draped over his short boy's body.

"I'll kill you-"

The shark's fins turned into blades, and the slender tail fin separated from it and turned into two sharp-edged skirts, swaying in the wind and shining with a cold light that stung the eyes.

The shark opened its mouth and roared, and merged with Yuhelai's head, turning into a silver knight's helmet. The dorsal fin formed a long tassel with superimposed blades. It was thrown behind its head, and the two cross-shaped windows glowed with dangerous red light.

Click——

The next moment, the young man opened his arms, and the visor of his helmet split from the middle up and down, revealing the sharp shark teeth, and let out a heart-rending roar: 'Howling ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! '

Facing this wild roar, Li Aoz's expression changed drastically, and his body instantly collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

[What is this... why is this happening? I can't move, I can't move at all!]

Li Aoz's vision shifted rapidly, and the blood all over his body seemed to be squeezed by mercury, making him unable to raise his head at all.

[System... let me see what's going on?!]

Li Aoz spent a lot of effort to open the system, but only saw a cold prompt:

[During ether erosion, your colonization equipment has been destroyed by Secrecy Transformation, and the physiological functions of the colonization equipment are suspended. Countdown: 4:59]

"Secret?"

What the hell is this secret again? For five full minutes, if this wasn't Zongzhu's body, I would have died.

Ether, secret, White Knight.

What is all this about? In the previous game, there was no such thing!

[White Knight] He raised the carapace on the back of his hand. There was an obvious whetstone structure there. He picked up the sword and wiped it neatly on the whetstone.

[Sharpen Teeth]

Mars splashed around, and the originally plain sword blade immediately burst out with an exciting and fiery brilliance. The air would be cut instantly as long as it came into contact with the blade, thus causing constant friction and heating of the air around the blade.

[Blast Magnum Charge] Before Du Zexin could pull the trigger, the sword had already arrived.

bass! Du Zexin The pupils are dilated, and the fundus of the eyes is bleeding.

The huge white machine slowly split into two and fell to the ground.

A belated Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas.
