244: The Bellringer
Bang!
[White Knight] Kicked open the hydraulic door, swept the sharp blade, tore open the space, and cut the entire Mobile Armor in the distance. The nuclear power engine instantly triggered a martyrdom explosion, shooting out blazing heat rays, and scattering radiated dust, covering the entire tunnel.
"Is he here? It looks like an ordinary Outland gathering place, but it turns out it's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, with so many weapons and equipment stored there."
[White Knight] muttered, and with a flick of his fingertips, the poisonous blood of the ether quickly spread out. He dragged the blade of the sword and stepped forward leisurely. Before those mortals could escape, they were poisoned by the ether, and they fell one after another.
"No one can fight, Tsk."
"Don't be careless, White Shark."
[Bellringer]Horst followed closely behind, appearing out of nowhere. He lowered his head and glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. The hands on it kept changing, showing a cipher text that only he could read. He flicked the chain, put away the pocket watch, pointed to a large lathe in the distance, and ordered, "Tear it down."
White Shark Without saying a word, he raised the sword and wiped it on the back of his hand.
[Sharpen Teeth]
[Sharpen Teeth]
[Sharpen Teeth]
Sudden! The sword light burst out, and the huge lathe was instantly swallowed up and flattened by the blazing sword light. The strong radiation wind blew eagerly, instantly pulling the human figure hidden in the lathe out, and smashing it to the ground.
"Ahem..."
The blond man with blue eyes who was pulled out lay on the ground, coughing violently. A large amount of water seeped out of his mouth and nose, quickly expelling the radiation dust inhaled from his body.
"Damn it, this body is too weak..."
When he struggled to get his weak body up, the white knight's sword was stabbed into the ground in front of him.
"Yeah~ Yeah~ Yeah~, it's been a long time. My dear old senior, I heard that five thousand years ago, you fought with the [Scholar] Speaker, and you are a member of the older generation Secrecy Jury who saw the fall of Lioz."
White Shark stepped on his shoulder and sarcastically said without concealing his disdain, "What's wrong? Senior Igolai·Matthew."
He picked up the sharp blade and used the back of the blade to lift apart Igolai·Matthew's side hair, revealing the other person's tired and weak face, and said sarcastically:
"The majestic [Sailor] has been reforged seven times... By calculation, among Star Abyss, he is almost as strong as Sigma-rank (18), but he was trampled under his feet by me who was reforged once - this is the consequence of betraying [society]. Your crime is incurable and unforgivable!"
"Haha..."
Igolai·Matthew grinned and said with a smile, "Let a despicable person like you board [White Knight]... [Hidden Society] is truly hopeless."
"You can only be tough with your words - look at your body."
White Shark pretended to be pitiful and mocked. "Entering Star Abyss, even the most superficial [layer abyss] will cast a curse on the citizens of our [society]: no matter how powerful your power is, as long as you are an objective existence, you cannot exceed the limits of the planet and the universe. Creatures that exceed the limit will only be gradually eroded by the layer abyss and become degraded if they do not dive down."
"Your status equivalent to Sigma-rank (18), placed on Azure Planet which can only allow Gamma-rank (3), and you have lived for more than forty years, has long since degraded you into a weakling worse than Gamma-rank (3)."
"Look, you have made so many sacrifices to integrate into this world, but Layyuan doesn't welcome you."
Igolai·Matthew did not respond to White Shark's ridicule. He looked at [Bellringer] Horst and asked calmly:
"I'm just a jury. You two were sent here by Gaia, maybe just to find me?"
"You are still very valuable to us, don't say that, comrade veteran."
"Who the hell is gay with you!"
"Then let me change my name - compatriot."
Horst said lightly, "[Hidden Society] has been divided internally for a long time. [Collector] ran away and lived in seclusion and did not care about the world. [Scholar] believes that Star Abyss's Curse has disrupted our traditional swallowing plan. He hopes to coexist with Narrative-level Civilization. And we represent the [Emperor] faction, the most core, most orthodox, and most loyal to Mother Gaia."
Igolai·Matthew said quickly without blinking an eye, "You want to... reorganize Secret Council? Establish a connection with Gaia."
"That's right. At this point, only Mother Gaia's reappearance can integrate [society's] will to unite."
[Bellringer]Horst said calmly, "You also know, my [Sailor] brother, without [Society] as the mother body, our separated cells have no room for survival at all. The entire Star Abyss Universe refuses to accept us, and we must make a decision."
"Either become the enemy of the entire Star Abyss, launch an unprecedented decisive battle, and devour civilization to its core;"
"Either continue to coexist, break them into parts, and gradually eat away at them step by step through lasting means."
"Let me tell you," Igolai·Matthew said coldly, "[Society] is the cancer of the universe, and it should not exist in this world. Gaia and other [society] have devoured tens of millions of innocent civilizations, and the number of casualties caused is simply shocking. We are the cancer of the universe!"
"Look at what you said, wouldn't Star Abyss be peaceful without [society]?"
[Bellringer]Horst cleverly said, "Long before the Destroyer stepped into this Sixth Layer Star Abyss, civilizations were competing against each other, involving each other, and killing each other. The difference between civilizations is greater than the difference between [society] and civilization."
"Why do you think that Colonizers must be worse than the rulers? The civilized people who were eaten by us have enjoyed the equality, justice, kindness, food, clothing, and comfort that civilization cannot give."
"In my opinion, being eaten up by [society] is not a bad thing. They need labor and dedication to live, and they may not be able to develop their value if they work hard. But we can let them fully develop their value."
"But they lost their freedom and their lives."
Igolai·Matthew clenched his fists and said solemnly, "The price of being swallowed up by [society]... is that if you leave [society], you will be nothing."
"But if you leave civilization, you are nothing." White Shark carried the sword and laughed wildly, "Old guy, you are really old-fashioned to the extreme. It seems that it is really necessary to capture you and integrate you into society..."
"Young man, I used to be like you. I thought that by welcoming the advent of [society], everything bad could be destroyed. I thought that as long as we destroyed the world where I was born, we would be completely liberated and completely free."
Igolai·Matthew took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "But it didn't."
