Erii stared wide-eyed with curiosity at the girl on the screen who looked a lot like her, as if she had seen something magical.
"Is she my Misaka Sister?" Erii asked Gu Ran while writing in her notebook.
Misaka Sisters are clones of Misaka Mikoto from "A Certain Magical Index," and they look exactly like Misaka Mikoto.
"No, they're just actors disguised with human skin masks," Gu Ran explained.
Herzog walked toward Erii, his stand-in, saying as he went, "While you two brothers are both important pawns, my greatest creation is your sister. Look how perfect she is!"
As he spoke, Herzog picked up Erii, his double, and hugged her slender waist tightly. He kissed her lips and greedily licked her beautiful, delicate face with his tongue, like a viper licking its prey.
"Damn it!" Gu Ran suddenly stood up and slammed his fist on the table after seeing this scene, cursing loudly!
Genjiro also stared at the screen in astonishment. In his memory, Tachibana Masamune had always been a polite person, but now he looked like a lewd little man threatening a girl. Instantly, he was also filled with anger.
"Scumbag!" Genjiro also cursed.
But Gu Ran's anger was different from Genji's. Gu Ran knew that Herzog was a scumbag, but Herzog was currently molesting his shadow clone, and after the shadow clone dissipated, that disgusting feeling would be fed back to his main body...
In other words, his physical body is about to experience the feeling of being molested by an old rogue.
"Grass!"
It's terrifying to even think about!
Greedy little people are greedy for everything. Right now, Herzog is greedy for the beauty of the stand-in Erii. Although he once regarded the girl in his arms as his own daughter, but... that's more exciting, isn't it?
Herzog picked up Erii, the Stand, and walked toward the box containing the Quartz Capture Pod. After glancing at it, he suddenly froze.
The quartz capture chamber was empty; the Holy Relic was gone. Herzog looked around and then noticed the adaptation fragments under his feet, as well as some biological tissue from the Holy Relic.
The sacred remains he had longed for had become nothing more than a piece of withered bone.
"You...you killed a god?" Herzog looked at the fallen Genji on the ground, his heart filled with extreme anger and confusion.
In this world, there are actually people willing to give up the White King's legacy and the throne of the world!
“It’s all over,” Genji said. “God is dead, and his plans have failed.”
Gu Ran raised her hand: "Don't rush, wait a little longer."
Chapter 505 The big one is coming!
Herzog, looking at the empty quartz capture chamber, was instantly enraged and could no longer maintain his previous composure and smile.
He put Erii down, then punched and kicked the girl on the ground: "You bastard, you actually killed the only god in the world and destroyed the path of human evolution, you son of a bitch!"
Herzog turned into a shrew, venting her anger on Genji.
Yuan Zhisheng felt sorry for his younger brother and wanted to go out to save him, but Gu Ran stopped him.
“Your brother is fine. With his bloodline, this beating is just a tickle.” Gu Ran asked Yuan Zhisheng to sit down and continued reading.
Herzog soon got tired. He didn't actually have any bloodline, and he was old and his physical functions were aging. Moreover, he was a cautious person and never used gene serums on himself.
Erii stared at the large screen, seemingly understanding what Herzog was about to do. She wrote in her notebook: "The more cunning a person is, the more likely they are to fall into unexpected predicaments and lose all their previous efforts..."
Genjiro and Sakura exchanged a glance, surprised that Erii would write such philosophical words.
Only Gu Ran knew what Erii meant. This line was a quote from Dio, the main villain in the anime "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure." Another famous line that follows is, "I'm not human anymore, JoJo!"
Gu Ran gently rubbed Erii's soft head, staring at the screen and smiling as he said, "That's why that old man doesn't want to be human!"
*……*……*
On the other side, there's the artificial island called Haiying.
Because Gu Ran initially used the cargo ships of the Zhang family in Nanyang as bait to lure the corpse guards back to the front of the shore-based combat base, these corpse guards, attracted by Angers' blood, rushed over recklessly from the front.
Fortunately, the shore-based combat base had strong enough firepower. Howitzers, rapid-fire machine guns, and man-portable missiles were bombarding the front indiscriminately, while Gatling guns provided suppressive fire from above. This firepower was enough to hold off the previous waves of zombie hordes.
However, no matter how strong the firepower is, ammunition is not unlimited, and the tide is rising continuously, gradually submerging the shore-based combat base.
However, they cannot easily abandon their positions now. They must use the firepower advantage of their shore-based combat bases until the very last moment, otherwise they will be caught in endless mobile warfare, which will consume a lot of their energy.
After eliminating another round of attacks from the corpse guards, they suddenly discovered that beneath the waves not far away, there seemed to be some giant beast lurking, emitting hoarse sounds and stirring up the seawater, creating even higher waves.
Zhang Qiong could see the helicopter overhead more clearly from the air. She used her flashlight to signal the people below and at the same time directed the helicopter's searchlight to shine onto the sea.
"Something big is coming." Caesar's weasel heard it clearly, but it was still somewhat surprised to see the thing leap out of the water.
Chu Zihang also saw that thing. It was something he and Lu Mingfei had seen when they were in the deepest abyss at the bottom of the sea. It was that huge dragon-shaped corpse guard, and its size was as big as a giant blue whale.
Caesar was unconscious at the time and couldn't see clearly, but Chu Zihang did. Although Erii's Word of Power covered it, it only severely injured it, not killed it.
Now, this enormous dragon-shaped corpse guard has begun to bare its fangs and claws. It has only just emerged from the water and revealed a small part of itself. It is a corpse guard, with no fresh flesh and blood on its body, only withered muscles, fascia and skeleton. Its huge size is enormous, like a medium-sized passenger plane.
Zhang Qiong had already run out of bullets in the Gatling gun, leaving only RPG rockets on the plane. So she loaded a rocket launcher and fired a round at the dragon-shaped corpse guard.
The RPG rocket launched forward into the dark night sky, leaving a dazzling trail of flame. The rocket struck the dragon-shaped corpse guardian and exploded, but the explosion was just a loud noise and did not cause any damage to the corpse guardian.
Angers also controlled the howitzers at the shore-based combat base. He aimed the howitzer at the dragon-shaped corpse and fired a grenade. The huge explosion finally had some effect this time, shattering some of its bones.
Chu Zihang also fired a man-portable missile, trying to wear down the dragon-shaped corpse guard from a distance. Caesar's rapid-fire machine gun did not fire at the dragon-shaped corpse guard, but instead tried to eliminate the group of corpse guards to prevent them from surrounding them.
After Zhang Qiong tested the rocket, she understood the strength of the giant weapon. She didn't waste any more ammunition. Instead, she fired the remaining rockets at the zombie horde, causing even greater damage. After using up all the ammunition on the helicopter, she jumped off the rope ladder onto the artificial island.
"The sulfur bomb is coming!" Zhang Qiong shouted to the three of them.
Another helicopter came from a distance, carrying a sulfur bomb transported from the Ganryu Research Institute.
By this time, the shore-based combat base had run out of ammunition, but it had not eliminated half of the zombie guards.
Back then, the Snake Clan mobilized a force of a thousand men and various light and heavy weapons to encircle and suppress the Corpse Guardians in the Japan Trench, but they were still unable to wipe them all out. In the end, it was Erii who had to take action to suppress all the Corpse Guardians.
With their current small force and insufficient preparation, holding out for more than ten minutes is already their limit.
"You two go and plant the sulfur bombs!" Angers patted Caesar and Chu Zihang on the shoulders, then drew two knives from the knife rack on Chu Zihang's back: wrath and greed, two of the seven deadly sins.
Greed is modeled after the Kramer sword of the Scottish Highlanders, while Wrath is a dagger. Angers is holding a weapon in each hand, seemingly intending to use two swords.
Seeing that the principal could hold a horse-slaying sword with one hand, Zhang Qiong thought to herself that the old principal was still vigorous despite his age.
She also took the opportunity to draw out the sword of envy, one of the seven deadly sins. The sword's design resembled a Tang dynasty sword, and its size was just right for her to use.
"Lure that big guy onto the island first." Angers slashed his wrist again, letting the blood attract the corpse guards.
Sure enough, as Angers' blood flowed out, the corpse guards stirred up once more and began to charge towards Angers.
"Let's go!" Angers turned and left, intending to reach the high point of the artificial island and use the terrain to fight the corpse guards.
As Zhang Qiong walked, she placed explosive tags nearby, which Gu Ran had given her before.
Gu Ran had been making explosive tags for the Zhang family, and she knew that, and after they met in Tokyo, Gu Ran gave her a lot of explosive tags for self-defense.
Detonating tags are much better than grenades. Their biggest advantage is that they are very lightweight. You can simply place them on the ground or stick them to a wall and wait for the corpse guard to trigger them so they will explode.
As long as Zhang Qiong leaves an explosive tag following Angers' blood trail, the corpse guards will automatically gather together and be blown away, which is really worry-free.
By this time, the helicopter had finished transporting the sulfur bombs, and Chu Zihang also planned to place the sulfur bombs at a high place, because the island was now completely submerged by seawater.
Caesar stood beside Chu Zihang, providing cover: "Focus on setting the bomb. Don't rush, but be quick!"
Chu Zihang did not answer, but focused on setting the bomb. It would only take him a few minutes to set it, since the electromechanical courses were the responsibility of the Equipment Department, and his technical knowledge was integrated with that of the Equipment Department.
Angers knew at this point that the priority was not to eliminate the Corpse Guardians, but to buy time for Chu Zihang.
Therefore, he has been cooperating with Zhang Qiong, and the talisman paper that he had previously looked down on has now played a huge role.
Because one person can't carry many grenades, but it seems that one person can carry hundreds or even thousands of these talismans without any problem.
However, Zhang Qiong only had about fifty of them, which could only create about fifty explosions at most. The explosive tags were not inexhaustible, because drawing the tags required time, energy, and chakra.
At this moment, hordes of corpse guards had poured into the artificial island from all directions, and the dragon-shaped corpse guard seemed to have gone mad, rushing onto the island and heading straight for Angers.
Angers knew that simply running away wasn't a solution; they had to find a way to deal with that huge thing, as it was so big that it would hinder the damage from the shockwave of the sulfur bomb's explosion.
"Principal, we can't delay. I'll cover you while we deal with the big guys first." Zhang Qiong reached behind her back to draw the Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Don't rush, that move of yours consumes a lot of energy, don't use it lightly." Angers stopped Zhang Qiong from drawing the Dragon Slayer Sword. He held the Greed and Wrath swords and stared at the dragon-shaped corpse guard in the distance.
Within the skeleton of the dragon-shaped corpse guardian, countless golden eyes gleamed in the dark, rainy night. These were the corpse guardian horde hidden within the dragon-shaped corpse guardian's skeleton, and they collectively emitted hoarse cries.
The ribs of the dragon-shaped corpse guard began to stretch out one by one, and the corpse guards hiding inside began to descend from the sky, rushing towards Angers together.
Angers was extremely focused at this moment. Just as the horde of corpses was about to get close, he activated the Domain of Word of Power: Time Zero, and then swung and wielded Fury and Greed, using the 'Two-Sword Heaven Ichi-ryu' sword technique created by the Japanese sword master Miyamoto Musashi.
This windmill-like sword technique requires a strong person to wield two large swords and hack wildly at a crowd. It can be seen that this sword technique is actually a battlefield sword technique, most suitable for chaotic group battles.
In the realm of time zero, Zhang Qiong, wielding jealousy, provides support to Angers.
Before long, Angers had driven back a portion of the dragon-shaped corpse guards under his command, and Angers had also shattered the dragon-shaped corpse guards' bone wings.
At this moment, Caesar was providing long-range support to Angers with a rifle loaded with mercury core bullets. The principal's blood attracted the attention of most of the corpse guards, leaving only a few scattered corpse guards around them.
Chu Zihang had already secured the sulfur bomb to the crane, but the setup was not yet complete. The sea was still rising and had already submerged the artificial island, separating them from Angers and Zhang Qiong.
Angers knew it was time to end this pointless back-and-forth, so he plunged Greed into the ground and gripped the scythe of Wrath in one hand.
Chapter 506 A Forbidden Yet Perfect Circle
Angers sheathed his saber in a virtual scabbard, which was located on his left side. He prepared to use Iaijutsu to finish off the dragon-shaped corpse guard in one strike.
It's a real shame that the fastest aggregation slash wasn't seen by that stupid student, Inuyama He.
As Angers thought to himself, he slowly turned to the side. 'Wrath' seemed to let out a cry in his hand, and an invisible domain began to expand. It was the alchemical domain of Wrath.
It was originally an alchemical creation of the King of Bronze and Fire, and contained a living spirit. The next second, it seemed to sense the bloodline of Angers, and the blade began to miraculously grow longer, from one meter to six or seven meters, and the smooth blade became serrated.
Angers leaned against the high platform, head held high and chest out.
The dragon-shaped corpse guard looked down at the tiny human. Inside its sternum, a huge heart was still beating. Although it was a dead alchemical mummy, it seemed to have a life of its own. With the pride of a dragon, it was filled with fighting spirit.
The next second, he lunged straight at Angers.
Angers watched as the giant blue whale-like creature charged down at him. Instead of retreating, he leaped up, wielding a six- or seven-meter-long broadsword.
Visual inspection! Breathe! Cut off the carp's mouth! Pay it forward! Cut it off!
This is Angers' Iaijutsu, so fast that no one can see it clearly.
The so-called Iaido is a lightning-fast slash that unleashes all offensive power the instant the sword is drawn; victory or defeat hinges on a single strike.
Angers won, of course!
