Chapter 5: Holy Scar Yaoluo
The red light that filled the field of vision was blinding and eye-catching. The alarm indicating danger echoed throughout the main control cabin. Objects were shaking, and explosions were heard one after another. Anyone could feel it.
The crisis has arrived!
A dragon-shaped claw was breaking through the protective shield of the space station, and the image of the source of the attack instantly appeared on the star track map in the center of the main control module.
"Doomsday Beast".
[Antimatter Army] is based on the fragments of the ancient beast of dusk and is forged by the sorrow of the countless bones in the "Forge of War". The obsession of the vengeful spirits turns into a tangible hand, and the shadow of the disaster in the past condenses into a tail that covers the sky.
This is what Yao Luo felt before. Even though he didn't know what this creature that looked like a wind dragon with a new skin was, the tingling pain from his mental power and the throbbing in his temples all told him one thing:
run!
"You take the train." Estelle's voice did not waver even in the crisis. "I'll stay."
Her eyes were full of determination. As the de facto supreme commander of the entire space station, it seemed that she had already realized it in her heart.
Ji Zi immediately summoned the members of the Star Train, and Yao Luo and Xing also came to Ji Zi.
Jizi grabbed Xing who was still staring blankly, and without any extra words, nodded to Ester, and Jizi led everyone to leave.
Before leaving, Yao Luo once again looked at Esta who was directing at the operating table. Her petite body seemed particularly small in the huge space station, as if she would be swallowed up by this crisis in the next moment.
"Trust her." Ji Zi had stood beside Yao Luo without knowing when, and Dan Heng was leading the way in front.
"Yeah." Yao Luo turned around and continued to follow the main force. Mi Huyou has always had the tradition of issuing swords. Yao Luo didn't know how much change his arrival would bring to the world, but what he should do now is to be himself.
Several people retreated along the path of the main control cabin. They didn't know how far they had walked. The vibration sound gradually weakened, and the dazzling red light in their sight disappeared. They were probably safe, temporarily.
"The protective shield of the support section won't hold out for long. You guys should... leave this place... to... ..." Estelle's voice was still coming out intermittently from Jizi's facility. It was hard to imagine what the battle situation was like over there.
Ji Zi stopped first, as if she had something to say to everyone.
"The communication is cut off." Ji Zi calmly described the current situation and looked at everyone, as if she wanted to hear everyone's opinions.
Dan Heng was the first to express his opinion, "Do you want to go back? Just a reminder: that is the Doomsday Beast, the Legion's anti-planetary weapon."
"This space station was built by the Black Tower. Unless Lord Extinction takes action, there will be no major problems here." Ji Zi replied.
"But, but we can't just run away like this..." Sanyueqi spread his hands, a little hesitant, as if he didn't want to just leave like this.
"The Legion has the blessing of the star god Nanook. They come well prepared, and the people here cannot defend it." Dan Heng shook his head and had no confidence in the defense of the space station.
"It's not a solution for us to go back. It will only cause more trouble. What we need to do is to understand the real purpose of the [Antimatter Legion] and then look for opportunities to break the impasse!"
Yao Luo had been thinking all the way just now. Although he woke up in chaos and suffered a chaotic attack, everything has a cause. The legion's attack could not be without purpose. Even if the virtual soldiers only had the instinct to kill, the people behind them must have other arrangements.
"That's right." Ji Zi's expression seemed to show appreciation, "That's why we must leave and take Xing with us." She said to everyone.
"Is that so...she is the key?" Everyone looked at Xing. Xing didn't seem to react much. She also needed to find an answer from Ji Zi.
"She is the one who broke the impasse - of course, I could be wrong." Ji Zi looked at Xing calmly, and then pretended to think, and added to Yao Luo: "If you are willing, Yao Luo, I would also like to invite you to join me on the Starry Sky Train. I can't tell you the reason for inviting you for now. Of course, you can also refuse, I won't force you."
The sudden invitation startled Yao Luo, who was thinking, and he replied soon: "Let's wait until this crisis is over."
Although joining the Starry Sky Train was an idea Yao Luo had thought of before, he needed to carefully consider making the promise. Even if Yao Luo wanted to join subjectively, he needed to make a decision at a calm time. What's more, he himself also had some things he had not figured out.
Yao Luo felt the vibrations coming from the core of the Skyfire Holy Judgement on his waist, which seemed to be both joyful and melancholy, as if he was facing an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Okay, don't rush to answer, think about it carefully, remember, the choice is yours. Ji Zi seemed to agree that now is not the time.
“…In that case. Well, what should we do next?” Dan Heng asked.
"This is the support section where the maintenance personnel work, which leads to the nearest platform. Let's go there and meet up with Walter," Ji Zi replied.
"Uncle Yang? Uncle Yang is here too? Didn't he stay in the car?" Sanyueqi was surprised by Ji Zi's answer, but also seemed to be relieved as he had confidence in the person Ji Zi mentioned.
"Walter, Yang?" Yao Luo took a deep breath in his heart. The weight of this name could not be explained in just a few words. He felt that he understood the reason why the core of the Skyfire Holy Judge was shaking.
"Let's leave here as soon as possible. I will explain everything to you later." After explaining the seriousness of the situation to Xing and others, Ji Zi planned to take everyone away quickly.
After defeating several virtual soldiers along the way, they approached the platform very smoothly. Yao Luo could already see the dazzling stars on the platform, but the uneasy feeling in his heart not only did not diminish, but became even stronger.
Walking on the spacious and comfortable avenue, March 7 seemed to be in a much more relaxed mood.
"I see the platform, great!"
"...The train hasn't arrived yet." Dan Heng was as cautious as ever.
"Maybe it's nearby! I have good eyesight, so I'll go take a look first." March 7 was more optimistic and wanted to observe first.
Yao Luo's anxiety grew, and he reminded, "March, be careful."
Just as March 7 stepped onto the platform and was about to use his bright eyes to take a good look at where the train was, an unnatural gust of wind blew above the platform.
"Wait, Sanyue." Danheng stretched out his hand to remind him, and Sanyueqi turned back suddenly.
"Here it comes." Yao Luo's eyes moved upwards. The mental oppression had already told him the location of the target.
A huge dark shadow obscured the starry sky on the platform, and there was a huge sense of oppression, as if you had turned into an ant, facing a huge human foot that was big enough to cover your entire vision.
"Come on down!" San Yue Qi drew his bow and aimed, as if he had said some classic line.
Then, the Doomsday Beast really came down.
Two giant hands grabbed the platform, ending all routes of the few people. The spread wings and the planet behind it became the background of this battle. The purple crystal and the silver streamlined dragon body had a sacred feeling under the starry sky.
"Doommon..." Jizi's complex tone was telling the trouble of this enemy. If it was just Jizi alone, it would not be a big deal, but these children... She glanced at Xing inconspicuously.
Xing's eyes were also somewhat serious. This might be the strongest enemy she had ever faced since she was born.
Of course, the same goes for Yao Luo.
"Strike first!" Yao Luo frowned. With his sensitive mental power, he felt more pressure than the people around him. However, there was another voice in his brain that kept saying in his ear:
"Protect... Protect... Protect the people..."
The voice turned into a warm current flowing into Yao Luo's heart, and courage surged from his chest.
Yao Luo, give it a brave blow!
"Roar---!"
With the sound of gunfire and the roar of Doommon, the battle began.
The attacks that had always been successful did not have the expected effect. The rays that were powerful enough to melt steel, facing the anti-stellar weapons built with ancient beast fragments and equipped with antimatter engines, the ordinary-power attacks of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire were just like toys that children were waving at adults.
Xing and Dan Heng, one on the left and one on the right, turned into two streams of light and rushed forward towards the claws of the Doomsday Beast, intending to restrict its movements.
The Doomsday Beast did not sit still and wait for death. The antimatter core in the middle burst out with huge energy, using its claws as a carrier, which not only strengthened its defense, but also made a huge improvement for the next attack.
Seeing that the attack did not have the desired effect, Yao Luo had to increase the power of the Heavenly Fire Holy Judgement to at least break through the outer layer of defense and create opportunities for Dan Heng and Xing. San Yueqi and Ji Zi also used ice arrows and guns as cover for the two of them.
White light and blue were imprinted on Doommon's left and right hands. Bang! Did the attacks of the two have any effect?
Obviously not. Dan Heng fired three shots quickly, the green wind force wrapped around the gun, and the cutting sound continued.
Xing’s attack was so powerful that it seemed as if an explosion occurred between the white light and the giant claw.
But with the energy provided by the antimatter engine, it only hurt the skin, not deep. Yao Luo observed that his initial target was the core in the middle, intending to capture the thief first and destroy this thing that was obviously weak.
Unfortunately, experience does not mean perfection, and intuition does not mean accuracy. It seems that if you want to break the core, you must first break the hands.
Dan Heng and Xing saw that their attack was useless and were about to retreat, but Yao Luo's words reached their ears, "Keep weakening, I will provide good cover!"
Xing believed in Yao Luo unconditionally, while Dan Heng glanced at Ji Zi behind him. After getting a positive answer, the two continued to move between the swinging claws of the Doomsday Beast.
The three people in the back continued to attack, and the target gradually became the Doomsday Beast's main attack claws. The attack effect was much stronger than before, which also confirmed Yao Luo's idea.
Fortunately, Dan Heng and Xing were both highly mobile, and it would be difficult for any of the three people in the back to dodge the Doomsday Beast's claws while they launched attacks from time to time. The two of them perfectly attracted the Doomsday Beast's attention and hatred, allowing Yao Luo and the others to snipe from the back with peace of mind.
"Hold on." Ji Zi encouraged. Whenever the balance of the battle was about to be broken, Ji Zi was always able to seize the opportunity to break the siege or drag the battle into our rhythm. Although the method was proposed by Yao Luo, the person who had always been in control of the battle was Ji Zi.
Yao Luo's sweat was evaporated by the heat, and his eyes were fixed on the Doomsday Beast. After finding the correct way to fight, he was the main output among the three people. The price was that Yao Luo's temples were already painful like needles, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere, because victory was just around the corner.
Even a creature as strong as Doomsday Beast, facing this endless grinding, can only lie powerlessly on the platform, like a city wall worn by time, exposing its faded core.
"It's now!"
Yao Luo's eyes brightened, and the light of the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire surged. March 7th, "You'll see how powerful I am!" Countless Pam-shaped ice waves shot out from the arrow.
Ji Zi calmly turned on the drone's maximum power, and small bursts of fire flew out.
It worked!
The core of Doomsday Beast was cracked by the combined attack of several people, and it seemed that it was about to break.
Just when Yao Luo felt that the task was accomplished and it was time to celebrate.
It was as if time was going backwards, the broken core was flowing backwards, and the huge body seemed to have never been injured.
"Ah?!!!" Yao Luo's eyes almost popped out, his hands hung down, and he almost wanted to use the Holy Judge of Heavenly Fire to wipe his eyes.
"Damn, the second stage!" Yao Luo couldn't help but complain.
Although he didn't see the expressions of the other people clearly, Yao Luo guessed that they had the same idea as he did.
"Hey, don't be so dishonest."
"trouble."
"Dan Heng, Xing, you two should retreat first!"
Everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted, and the only person in the best condition was Ji Zi. However, Yao Luo really had no confidence in relying on Ji Zi alone.
"That's the only way."
"Hu——" Yao Luo let out a long breath and sank his mind into consciousness.
Keep going deeper and deeper, and the [memories] contained in the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire will be fully released.
Finally, Yao Luo heard:
"Kaslana is the people's shield. For the people I cherish, I am willing to sacrifice my life!"
The white-haired figure stood above the ruins, red fire burning in his blue pupils.
Determination, will, strength.
Carried in memory, blooming in memory.
With a protective heart, one acts to destroy.
When the same fire burned in Yao Luo's eyes, a deep red mark quietly appeared behind Yao Luo's body.
"We can't hesitate." Ji Zi was the calmest among the group. She planned to use the railgun. Even if Black Tower said a few words to her, she would not let the children get hurt again.
A red figure passed by Ji Zi, like a flying flame, at such a fast speed that Ji Zi could only see an afterimage.
If Yao Luo was a shooter who played damage in the back before, now he is:
warrior!
The figure running straight towards the core attracted the attention of everyone present, including Doommon, of course.
The claws, which were faster and stronger than before the repair, whizzed out, blocking all roads leading to the core. If Yao Luo was injured, he would be killed by the claws.
"But I can see it." In Yao Luo's eyes, the attack that was difficult to see just now was just a slow-motion one, and the attack that seemed huge and unstoppable was also...
"Yao~Luo~be careful!"
The reminders of others were also infinitely stretched. The giant claw was right in front of him, and Yao Luo could even see the texture between its fingers.
"Get out of the way!"
Using the waist to move the body, powerful force is transmitted layer by layer. The potential energy of the forward sprint is transmitted from the legs, waist, hands, and finally all the energy is gathered on the gun in the hand.
"Boom!"
With two shots, the tremendous force knocked away both claws of Doomsday Beast. At this moment, Yao Luo's power completely suppressed Doomsday Beast!
A ray of destruction gathered in the mouth of the Doomsday Beast, and it smelled death in the little man in front of it.
Naturally, this attack had no chance to be launched, as a heavy kick had already landed on the chin of the Doomsday Beast, with such great force that the entire dragon's body was blasted several meters up on its back.
It was naturally impossible to hit Doommon with just a few strikes, so Doommon took the opportunity to fly up, intending to eliminate this group of insects in the air.
When Yao Luo landed safely with two guns in his hands, everyone noticed his amazing change.
His previously black hair turned completely white, flowing flames wrapped around his arms, and his silver eyes turned azure blue.
"I can't hold on for too long, Jizi. I can beat out its core again, and the rest is up to you." Everyone couldn't see Yao Luo's expression, but from his words, they could feel his determination. Jizi replied, "Don't worry."
"it is good."
Raising the gun silently, Yao Luo once again assumed that posture.
Kaslana gun fighting.
With the in-depth use of the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire, Yao Luo gradually approached the "battle memory" of the successive heads of the Kaslana family.
The manifestation of memory turned into a mark: "The Holy Mark".
The blessing of the stigma is reflected in all aspects, including speed, strength, combat instinct, and proficiency in the Holy Judgment of Heavenly Fire. These multi-faceted blessings have transformed him into the current Yao Luo.
Holy Scar Yao Luo.
