"I know your name, I understand your identity, I know you. You are a armed puppet from the previous civilization, the strongest artificial life form that can rival the strongest warrior of the time. Welcome, Mr. Tianhuo, so would you like some tea? The black tea my daughter made is super delicious!" "I came here for only one purpose. Give me the Serenity Stone." Tianhuo paused for a while before reaching out his hand directly. Without responding, he gestured directly to Cocolia to deliver the goods. Cocolia narrowed her eyes slightly, and a calm and dangerous smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "We agreed to fight against the enemy together and then distribute the rewards according to the merits. Now you are so impressive, but if I give you the gemstone, will Otto, who has lost face, let me go? Moreover, what about the sacrifices and merits of my subordinates? If you make a request, you must pay the price. What can you give me?" "..." This time, Tianhuo's pause was obviously much longer, and he seemed to be at a loss as to how to answer. Walter's eyes lit up, as if he saw a turning point, and he tried to analyze and learn Cocolia's speech skills. But the next words made everyone feel something was wrong. "I am not here to negotiate with you. You only have two choices: obey or perish."
"No, no, no, this is not a good idea! No matter how powerful your military force is, you must know that this world is still maintained by destiny and anti-entropy. You have been lurking since the early days of civilization, and you must have your own plans. No matter how confident you are, it will be difficult for you to be enemies with the whole world. You don't want this result, right?" "..." Tianhuo frowned slightly, as if she had been touched in a sensitive spot. After a long while, she slowly said: "What do you want?" "Request? Humph, boring topic." Cocolia suddenly changed the subject. At this time, Xingye, who had been called away to find something, finally came back trotting. Together with Ningdi, they put down the tea table and stools in front of Cocolia and made some black tea. Cocolia sat down and leisurely pointed to the mini steel chair on the table opposite her that she had made with her own hands. Skyfire floated over silently, sat down, and the flaming sword was extinguished and placed aside, as if Cocolia had initially convinced it. On one side were the many bigwigs of Anti-Entropy, and on the other side was Skyfire, which had just demonstrated its terrifying power. The two sides sat opposite each other amid the sound of the waves, and there was finally an atmosphere for negotiation. "From the data I have, the collapse is clearly intensifying. As civilization evolves, its enemies are also evolving at an accelerated pace. The end of the previous civilization is now approaching our era. And now, you are the strongest life that contemporary humans have ever seen, and I am one of the highest levels of anti-entropy. Surrounding you and me are four S-rank Valkyries who can almost represent most of the foundation of destiny. In such an occasion, is it interesting to negotiate conditions and interests?" "What do you want to say?" "We three have been entangled around this gem for several days and nights. We have fought and quarreled, but these are just trivial matters. Tianhuo, you have your mission, and we have our long-cherished wish, but if civilization reaches its end first, then everything will cease to exist. Time is passing, and this is true for everyone. Instead of being deadlocked in a meaningless struggle, don't you think... cooperation is a better choice?" While speaking, Cocolia gestured to Xingduo to set up a seat and let Delta sit. The gathering of the three parties and Cocolia's meaningful words suddenly changed the nature of this fight that was supposed to be a life-and-death struggle. The pattern has expanded. No matter if it was Walter, Rita, or Theresa, no matter if it was Anti-Entropy or Destiny, none of them dared to interrupt casually at this moment, but instead, intentionally or unintentionally, pretended to hold their breath and listen. Tianhuo lowered his eyes and said calmly: "This is not something for me to discuss or judge."
Delta touched her chest, where the bandage was wrapped around it, and followed up with, "Technically, this isn't my job." Cocolia smiled and nodded: "But this can be a certain foundation. There must be a beginning, and opportunities are rare, so why not start from here?" The three of them looked at each other, and Tianhuo and Delta stopped talking. So Cocolia raised her eyebrows, took out the black box containing the Serenity Gem from her chest, and said: "How about we start with the focus of this fight? The Serenity Gem, I need it because it is the key material for the X-10 experiment, and it will reveal to me the true method of curing Collapsing Disease. I will rely on it to create a special medicine for Collapsing Disease, and what this means to humans, I don't think I need to explain too much. What about you, what do you want to achieve with this gem?" It was a very noble and just purpose. Not to mention the people on the Anti-Entropy side, even Rita would find it difficult to blame Cocolia for this. Some even admired her determination and conviction to bravely challenge Otto for this. Delta glanced at Skyfire and saw that she remained silent, so she said slowly with a bit of reluctance as if she was being forced to work overtime: "The destiny is for humans to create law-breakers, like me, and to bring the power of the apostles that should have belonged to the Houkai into the hands of humans. From now on, it is no longer the case that the stronger the civilization, the more terrible the Houkai, but the more terrible the Houkai, the stronger the humans. As one rises and the other falls, the offensive and defensive forces will change. For the first time, we will be invincible in the war against the Houkai." It is also an irrefutable purpose, with such a grand scale and lofty intentions that even Walter, who could not bear to sacrifice innocent people, could not shout that fate was playing tricks on him. Both organizations have stated their respective goals and disclosed confidential information that should have been kept secret. As a result, everyone has focused their attention on the silent Skyfire, wondering what this mysterious and powerful force will say. Who would have thought that Tianhuo would directly pick up the flaming sword that he had just put down, and the tea placed in front of him began to boil and evaporate in front of everyone's eyes. "Give me the Serenity Stone." Without any explanation, Tianhuo simply stretched out his little hand again, releasing the scorching heat that distorted the air, and asked for the gem in Cocolia's hand. Cocolia wiped the sweat from her forehead, shook her head and sighed, then deliberately raised her voice and asked: "Based on your attitude, can I doubt that as the culprit of the Changkong City incident, you want to create another man-made collapse?" As the voice echoed throughout the room, Himeko, Theresa, and Bronya's faces turned pale one after another. The next second, an extremely sharp aura suddenly came to Tianhuo's side, and the Valkyries with better eyesight saw the dazzling golden hair. "boom!" "Please spare her life, benefactor! Don't hurt little Anqi!" Before everyone could see what this fearless little girl looked like, an ancient golden sword engraved with mountains, rivers, flowers, and trees suddenly thrust forward to block the flaming sword of Heavenly Fire. "Uncle Master, help me!" "But she is an old friend of Red Iris and also our benefactor!" "Help me, Uncle Master!" "You... benefactor, why are you so excited? Don't hurt my nephew!" Amidst Angel's hoarse roar and Ji Lin's panicked voice, a powerful force and scorching breath intertwined, turning the entire scene into a mess. Cocolia had already retreated behind Walter and Nindy, and Delta also returned to Wendy's back, but except for these people, the rest of the onlookers were knocked unconscious by the sudden powerful impact. By the time everyone had regained their composure, the three people who had been in conflict had already been driven overseas. The enormous flaming sword and the sword energy that covered the sky took shape, interweaving in the sky to form a dreamy and terrifying scene. "Walter, Ningdi, drive them away to the direction of Saint Freya, while ensuring your own safety!"
Cocolia sneered and gave orders without any hesitation. Ningdi was a good daughter who listened to her mother, so of course she said nothing, just nodded and flew out. Walter couldn't quite figure out the current situation. Seeing that Ningdi, whom he cared about, had gone out, he naturally had no time to think too much. Without any hesitation, he followed Cocolia's order and chased after her. Then Cocolia decisively threw the black box in her hand to Delta. "I would rather you sacrifice a few more Valkyries than see another Changkong City. Choose the lesser of two evils and take the gem away. Also, tell Otto to decide whether to put aside the past grudge or to start a quarrel. Let him think it over carefully." "...You are just trying to divert trouble away." "Where can you find free lunch these days? You think it's expensive, but I think it's expensive too! Just tell me whether you want it or not." "...Wendy, let's go first." Delta hesitated for only a moment, then quickly made a decision. A layer of invisible ideal fluid enveloped Wendy and herself, then rushed directly into the sea and quickly disappeared without a trace. "What do you mean Taixu Mountain can't help me accomplish my mission, you stupid Gray Snake, you don't understand human nature at all, Taixu Mountain is very useful! I wanted to drive away the wolf and the tiger, but I didn't expect to attract a giant dragon, what bad luck." Cocolia turned away with a dark face and swearing. Soon, only a group of old, weak, sick and disabled Valkyries were left, looking at each other, at a loss as to what to do. Chapter 199: Machines also have souls "Theresa... Fusion... Fusion Nuclear Suit..." "Help me activate the fusion suit!" Jizi grabbed Theresa's shoulders with weak legs, trembling and shouting, staring straight at the sky with tearful eyes. Fusion Armor Crimson is the exclusive armor of the Valkyrie Infinite Tower Himeko. Under normal circumstances, it is just a relatively good Valkyrie armor, but it is equipped with the "Nexus System" under test. In an emergency, it can be connected to the energy core of the Hyperion, and exert the power of a battleship level with a human body. It is a power that surpasses that of an emperor-level Honkai Beast. Jiko even used it to fight against Mei Raiden in the Thunder Law state. It is one of Saint Freya's trump cards. On the other hand, this state is also very exhausting, exhausting Ji Zi's life. But now she couldn't care less. Seeing Angie rushing towards the dangerous and terrifying armed puppet without reason, the lessons of Delta, Yulandel and Yaezakura were still fresh in her mind! Jizi couldn't think of anything else. She just wanted to bring Angie back. Theresa felt discomfort in her shoulders and frowned: "Calm down! The battleship's energy system has been destroyed, and the Nexus system cannot be activated now!" "But, but An Qi..." "Don't be afraid, Ji Lin is here to protect her, and Walter is here too. He won't just sit there and watch his class representative." Theresa lowered her voice, trying to calm Jizi down. In fact, she herself was also panicked. Damn, Cocolia is so cold-blooded and shameless! We endured the guilt every day and covered up the truth about Changkong City, hoping to find a suitable opportunity to explain it to Angie. But you, on the other hand, took advantage of this incident to divert attention for yourself.
Don't forget about Changkong City's affairs, you also have a responsibility! Theresa glared at Cocolia's receding back with gritted teeth, but she also realized that now was not the time to get entangled with her. "Speed up the repair of the ship, and retreat immediately after the leak is fixed, and catch up with them! I still have Judah, no matter how strong she is, she will have to use the collapse energy, right? I don't believe she can withstand my Divine Grace Barrier!" Theresa was furious. Although her feelings for Angie are not as deep and special as those for Jizi, she is not inferior in her determination to protect her students. This obviously gave the anxious and helpless Himeko and Bronya a direction. They no longer cared about anything else and devoted all their efforts to the maintenance of the battleship, vowing to catch up as quickly as possible. …… Delta overlooked a problem. That is, the Herrscher's body can be independent of breathing, but Wendy cannot. Although the ideal fluid is urgently condensed, it goes to the sea surface to capture air, turns into bubbles and comes back to replenish, but it still takes time to go from the sea surface to the deep sea. At this moment, Wendy's face had turned red, but she just buried her head under Delta, trembling, and said nothing. Wendy didn't want to hold Delta back at this time, especially when she felt the bandage on Delta's chest and smelled the mixed smell of blood and disinfectant, she decided to keep it to herself. "Oh, what a fool! Delta sighed, reached out and lifted up Wendy's blushing face. Then he kissed her. Exchange breathing is also an emergency method, especially since Delta doesn't need oxygen at all. This kind of exchange is enough for Wendy to support herself until fresh air arrives. Wendy naturally widened her eyes and looked at Delta's eyes with pity and helplessness. After a while, a series of bubbles of air moved in and out of the space supporting the two people, forming a gas environment with a stable oxygen content. Delta stopped her alternating breathing. But Wendy buried her head in her chest again, her face became redder, her body became softer and trembling, and she refused to speak for a long time. In fact, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation and do whatever you want. But at this point in the script, too many people have been emotionally affected, and Delta is too disdainful to ignore everything and only care about her own happiness. So she just gently pressed Wendy's head. "Don't be afraid, it's almost over, and everyone will be fine. I promise." Delta said this softly, and then said nothing more. She just held Wendy in her arms and moved forward quickly in the dark deep sea. …… The sky over the East China Sea has not been quiet for a whole day. The large-scale air flow anomaly caused by Delta, the continuous high-energy output of Yulandel, the huge amount of dissipated destruction energy left by Yaezakura, and the unparalleled heat and violence of Skyfire.
All these factors combined together make everyone who may observe this sea area involuntarily pay attention to this place. Countries that are closer to us are feeling uneasy, and countries that are farther away are also inevitably filled with resentment. On this day, many people finally realized the huge gap between the organization that is in control of the collapse and the secular world. nuclear weapon? Compared with Tianhuo's sword that broke through into outer space, that thing is just a toy. In other words, the war has been maintained at a nuclear energy level for a day and is still going on. Fortunately, I can still use it to browse the internet.
