Chapter 752 The Dust Has Settled (Two in One)

Silent father and daughter.

In the falling snow, their eyes met.

At this time, should I say something?

But neither side said anything, only silence.

Facing her father, who had been completely assimilated by the star beast and transformed into a god-killing vanguard, Elise was so stingy that she didn't even want to say a word.

Perhaps from the bottom of her heart, she had never regarded the other person as her father, and had never felt the slightest bit of fatherly love. For her, it was not that difficult to let go of something that did not exist.

"return--!"

The Roman emperor did not speak. His throat was cut off in Bai Yu's sword-folding style. His trachea and throat were damaged and he could not speak a word at all.

The person who opened the mouth was the clone of the star beast. On the emperor's limbs and shoulders grew another weird head. It was a weird chimera made of flesh and stone.

It roared and hissed at Elysee: "Come back!"

Angry and angry emotions overflowed, like scolding thieves and robbers.

"If you want..."

Elise raised the Star-cutting Sword and said, "Come and get it yourself."

Upon hearing these words, Bai Yu instantly imagined hearing the ditty of a storm, and felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

No matter what angle his thoughts wandered at this time, two hands suddenly grabbed his left and right from behind.

Frederica and Angelica lifted Bai Yu up and immediately ran outside the collapsed city wall, escaping from the area that was about to become a battlefield as quickly as possible.

Just when they ran less than twenty meters away, the God-killing soldiers who couldn't wait had already launched an attack.

Two rock slabs rose from the ground, one on the left and one on the right, surrounding Elysee like a piece of bread. Countless spikes protruded from the rock slabs.

In the Middle Ages, there was a torture device called the Iron Maiden, which looked like a human-shaped coffin. Inside the torture device, there were dozens of steel spikes. If you were locked in it, your body would be pierced with dozens of wounds, which usually would not occur immediately. death, but death from organ failure after massive blood loss.

After adding the God-killing Black Flame, its power cannot be underestimated.

Elysee raised the Star-cutting Sword. She had never used any swordsmanship before, but what was incredible was that after she accepted all the inherited memories and held the sword, the time engraved on the sword began to flow backward to her. soul.

The air began to tremble strangely. The vibration was like an ultrasonic machine bombing the area at a high frequency. Even the rising rock slabs were shaken and interfered with precision. There were cracks under Elysee's feet. The surrounding area spread, and this allowed people to see that the source of the vibration came from her.

She seems not to be a pure swordsman, because the most taboo thing for swordsmen is to be slow. If the whole world changes color before wielding the sword, doesn't it mean that she is openly telling others that they should take precautions in advance? The most important thing in unsheathing a sword is to be quick, and the most important thing to grab is to be first.

However, Elysee's sword was different. It was not an ordinary slash, but a power derived from the God-killing Spear Soldier, which had been tamed by Lord Zhuxing. It was also an extremely high-level mystery.

The tattoo on the back skin hidden under the light armor was hot, and the shadow of a beast emerged.

It was as if there was a rising tide in her eyes, the seawater submerged her pupils, and her power climbed to the highest point... Then she swung the knife in the air, making a virtual cut and slashing horizontally.

There was no vertical and horizontal sword energy, no flickering sword light, slashing through the air, and no regular flow of power could be felt, but the sound disappeared the moment the sword was swung.

Within a certain range, there was no air movement at all, and it was as quiet as if the world had died. Even gravity had disappeared, and countless gravel and rubble were suspended in the air.

And then really died.

Everything in front of him, including the Roman emperor, the falling snow in the sky came to a standstill. At the moment when he finished swinging the sword, both organic and inorganic matter fell apart and suddenly turned into powder.

The emperor divided a star beast to guard him as a shield, and then it was broken into pieces, along with half of the Roman emperor's arm that was cut into pieces. Blood spurted out like ink, although the blood was stopped within three seconds. , the star stone that was differentiated and multiplied filled the broken arm, but the result was still incredible.

With just one strike, Feng Sheng's arm was cut off.

Bai Yu thought that he could do it, but that would be at the cost of losing all his attack power after breaking the sword.

Elysee was different. In front of her blade, the star beast's tough shell and god-killing power were as fragile as paper.

Absolute restraint.

Absolute natural enemy.

The star beast roared angrily. It also felt the aura of the natural enemy on the opponent, so it desperately began to proliferate its body. The dark red flame burned, and it armed itself with power. The dark stone also tore the flesh and blood. The original human form of the Roman emperor changed his appearance, becoming neither human nor ghost, and his body expanded to a huge size, but the same appearance became more and more like the falling star war beast that plundered the earth in the era of demigods.

"The dirty earth needs to be bleached and washed!"

"You can't stop it!"

It roared indistinctly.

Even after it has gained wisdom and spirituality, its will is still engraved with loyalty to its creator and it is fulfilling its mission.

This is in sharp contrast to Michael who fell into the mortal world because of his love and walked with others.

Both have similar identities but make completely different choices.

There was a hint of emotion in Elise's heart, but it was just a hint.

She is just fulfilling the mission she was given. In fact, she knows what role she plays. She is a successor and an avenger.

To be more precise, she is a knife, a cleaner used to clean up this god-killing vanguard.

A knife does not need to have its own will, it only needs to kill the target.

She thought so too, just cut it, no need to think too much.

"Everything, dedicated to the great will!"

The star beast roared forward and charged.

The snow was heavy.

A snowflake landed on the tip of the star-slashing knife, staining the weapon with a hint of frost white.

Ding~

The shadow of the second beast was awakened behind the girl.

The blade vibrated, and the arm armor made a slight collision sound, like teeth chattering up and down.

With only the second beast on her body, Elise realized that she was standing on the edge of a cliff and losing control.

She was not the star-casting prince, and she had just received the inheritance, and she could not use all her power proficiently.

The tamed five beasts were still unruly, and it was extremely difficult to make them completely surrender. Her cultivation was not enough, and her will was not enough. Awakening the second beast was the limit...

She couldn't even control the power and mystery wrapped around this knife.

So, she stopped trying to hold the knife.

Instead, she faced the charging star beast, gave up all her postures, loosened her palms, raised them over her shoulders, and threw out the star-slashing long knife like a spear.

At that moment, what Elise released was not like a knife, but a supersonic fighter. It passed by in a panic, and tore through the sound barrier the moment it was out of her hand. The expanding invisible field also directly tore a bright gap and passage in the space.

The broken space swallowed the atmosphere, forming a tornado storm facing inward. The blade in the center was like a typhoon eye, engulfing everything around it. Less than 20 meters away from her hand, it had turned into a hurricane prototype that swept everything.

The long knife silently penetrated the body of the star beast, and a huge hole with a diameter of five meters appeared in the center of its huge body. The stones, rubble and even the white snow that were swept into the hurricane turned into sharp blades, carrying power to continuously cut and cut off the stones and flesh on the surface of the falling star beast, like a swift slow slicing.

The star beast fell to the ground in a daze.

Blood and strange black liquid spilled on the ground, gurgling and flowing freely along the gullies on the battlefield.

Then it turned its head, clawed on the ground, and moved its body continuously, leaving its back to Elise.

... Is this trying to escape?

The two little heads that secretly poked out saw the incredible look in each other's eyes.

Angelica couldn't imagine that this God-killing Vanguard who once killed demigods like killing pigs actually knew how to weigh the pros and cons?

Frederica was surprised that it would flee because of fear.

At this moment, the Vanguard's hurried and embarrassed escape made everyone realize that it was not so powerful and invincible. While it gained wisdom, it was also planted with the seeds of cowardice and the instinct of survival.

It tried to linger, but when it turned its back to the enemy, its life no longer belonged to it.

The long sword returned. The Star Slash was a spiritual sword. It fell from the sky and pierced into the ground. The blade was aimed at the star beast, blocking its retreat.

At the same time, a foot stepped on its back, and dark blood splashed out, staining the girl's battle skirt and armor.

The star beast made a strange scream that no one could understand. The chaotic language center proved how bad its condition was at this time.

Elise drew out the sword and cut it off.

The shell of the star beast's head was cut open.

Under the fallen black stone, a human face was revealed. The emperor with a broken body lay on the ground. Because of the dissipation of vitality, he was gradually turning back into a human appearance.

The heavy snow fell, no matter how dirty the earth was, they were still so pure white. The coldness of the snow seemed to awaken the emperor's eyes that were gradually losing focus. The pale silver eyes reflected the dark night sky.

He looked at Elyse, his eyes were full of confusion and astonishment, like a child who just woke up and was at a loss.

Then, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat had been destroyed, and he could not say a word, only a hoarse voice.

Elyse raised the knife silently, and she paused.

I don’t know if the Roman emperor remembered her, or if he finally recovered a bit of humanity and regained his human identity.

Maybe, maybe not.

Elyse asked calmly in her heart-do you have any last words?

Then, she saw the emperor return to silence, and his eyes, his emotions were strangely peaceful.

Forget it.

She thought.

I won’t ask anymore.

The long knife stabbed down, and blood splashed, dyeing the red snow on the ground red, and also dyeing her snow-silver long hair fluttering in the wind red.

…

[God-killing Vanguard has been killed]

[Obtained 3,000 Destiny Points]

[The data of the Heroic Spirit ‘Gorgon Witch’ has been updated]

[The exclusive gift set has been enhanced]

[…]

Bai Yu looked at a series of prompts, but at this moment, he was in no mood to sort out these pop-up messages.

He recovered from his injuries after drinking two big red bottles, and now he got up and walked through the wall, looking at the center of the battlefield where it ended.

Facing the incomplete state of the Canon, it was thought to be a tough battle, but Elise did not shed even a drop of blood.

She killed her father, but she did not shed even a drop of tears.

The girl standing in the ruins, looking up at the snowy night sky, her silhouette was breathtaking in the faint moonlight and firelight, the color of blood and snow was in sharp contrast, she turned her cheek, her clear eyes reflected the city of Rome after a night of drastic changes.

Angelica wanted to rush over to give Elise a hug, but was hugged tightly by Fulei.

Bai Yu didn't get close either.

They all felt that Elise needed time to sort out her mood now.

But Elise didn't stand for a long time, but walked back naturally, without even looking back at the corpse.

She imitated the action of Amamiya Mahiru that she had seen many times before, and slashed a knife in the air, putting the long knife into the space crack she opened.

As the heir of the Star Casting Duke, the Death Star Arena is already her private property, which is equivalent to having a huge personal warehouse.

"Elise..."

"Don't look at me like that." Elise waved her hand: "I'm fine, not as complicated as you think."

"Really okay?" Angelica squeezed out two tears.

"Why did you cry first?" Elise rubbed the corners of Angelica's eyes helplessly.

Then Angelica cried even more happily: "The blood on your hands stung my eyes!"

Frei said nothing, she silently took out a water bottle to wash Angelica's eyes, leaving space for Bai Yu and Elise.

"Is it over?" Bai Yu asked.

"Yes, it's over." Elise touched her arm armor: "The Falling Star Beast has been killed, and the mission entrusted to me by the ancestors has been completed."

"Ancestor?"

"Star Casting Lord, the first emperor, is also Michael."

Short sentence, a lot of information.

Bai Yu brainstormed for three seconds, and then understood: "It seems that she set up all these?"

"No, it was the Holy Lord... The ancestor was actually punished in the Death Star." Elise tried to explain in a short sentence.

Bai Yu also listened quietly to what happened before.

He looked at Alyse. In fact, it had only been five days since the last time they parted in Romania, less than a week, which was not particularly long.

But he couldn't help but feel a little bit as if he was in another world.

After Alyse finished speaking, she saw the young man open his arms and hug her.

Fulei and Anjie on the side narrowed their eyes at the same time.

"You've worked hard." Bai Yu whispered to comfort.

"I'm not tired, not at all." Alyse leaned on his shoulder, her hair was ready to move: "It's you who's worked hard, sir. Thank you for coming to me, I really..."

"I don't need a buttoned thank you." Bai Yu said: "Come with me to my time... Mahiru and Shiori also want to see you."

"Well, okay."

She agreed quickly.

She had made this decision as early as the beginning.

Even if her good friends would not go with her, she would definitely go to the time and space where Bai Yu was.

As long as she completed her revenge, her life would have completed her mission, and she was free to go wherever she went and what she did next.

Some people say that revenge is empty.

Others say that revenge is noble.

She thought to herself that it didn't matter.

She didn't know when and where it started, but her desire for revenge was no longer so strong.

In the past, revenge was a mission that she had to complete. For this mission, she could give everything, even her own life; but now, she was reluctant to give everything for revenge. Revenge was a necessary process in her life and a threshold that she had to cross.

She had experienced all this, welcomed growth, and must learn to jump over this threshold and start the next stage of her life.

Her first half of life had ended, and the second half had just begun.

Since she couldn't stay in the Middle Ages, she would live in another era.

"Right."

Under the increasingly obvious gaze of the other two roommates, who were a little lemony, Elyse, who had been leaning in Bai Yu's arms and didn't want to leave, suddenly reacted.

She asked: "Where is Jeanne?"

"...In the mausoleum."

"When was she buried?" Elyse was shocked.

"I'm not dead!"

A gruff voice sounded.

At the other end of the wide street, Jeanne appeared in everyone's sight. She looked a little weak and exhausted, but she was not injured or in danger.

Elise ran over quickly and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming again and again.

Jeanne cursed: "You have no conscience. You only thought of me at the last minute."

"I'm sorry." Elise pulled her wrist and acted coquettishly.

Bai Yu took a deep breath and thought that now everyone was gathered.

Including himself, there were five people in total, and there was also a dragon mother hiding in the cracks of time and space.

"Get ready."

Bai Yu made a prompt decision: "We should leave."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Angelica asked tentatively: "Don't you want to find a place to rest?"

"The Roman emperor is dead." Bai Yu glanced in the direction of Brahma City: "He was killed by Elise, and the whole city of Rome is in chaos. If I don't leave now, I'm afraid it will be too late. The Holy Church should have reacted."

Most of the canonized saints in this era are enemies rather than friends.

Originally, the capital of Rome was in such a mess, and no canonized saints came forward because it was a palace coup.

Moreover, neither the canonization nor the church believed that the Roman emperor would really be killed, since he was canonized.

But he was actually killed.

This was a lot of fun.

Bai Yu didn't think he could hide for long in front of the saints of the Holy Church. The other side had plenty of ways to catch him.

Frederica was worried about another person. She asked, "What about Peggy? Should we leave her here?"

"Don't worry about that." Jeanna said calmly, "With Peggy's injuries, she needs a long sleep to recover. If you wait for her to wake up, she may not wake up even if she turns into bones. Besides, she is a vampire and her life is much longer than yours."

"Before leaving, I left her a letter. She will wait for us in five hundred years. She will meet us in Huadu at that time."

Bai Yu mentioned the "holy relic recovery incident" five hundred years later in the letter.

The letter told Peggy that after this incident, she went directly to Huadu to find the president's sister Melusina.

As for whether she came or not, it was her choice. After all, five hundred years would make a person undergo earth-shaking changes.

Bai Yu took the props handed over by Elise.

[Kronos's Hour Hand]

[Fragments of the Artifact]

[After using, you can travel through time and space and return to the original timeline]

[Note: Michael left enough divine power in it to activate it. You only need to say "I love you" to activate it]

"???"

No, brother... this is not a magic phone.

I clearly used the Sun Fist to activate it last time?

Michael, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business!

You are old enough to promote love or not... Are you the Great Love Immortal Venerable?

This note made Bai Yu's expression change.

"What's wrong, can't it be used?" Jeanna tiptoed over.

Bai Yu lowered his head and met the girls' nervous little faces. The four beautiful faces formed a cluster effect, with amazing lethality.

"It's okay, it can be used."

He calmed down and said calmly: "It's just... it may be a lot of noise, you should cover your ears first."

Seeing that the four girls covered their ears obediently.

Bai Yu lowered his voice and said "I love you", but this time the needle was unmoved.

It actually pretended not to hear.

Hour hand: I can't hear, I just can't hear.

Bai Yu: "I love you..."

Hour hand: You want to travel through time and space with such a low voice?

Bai Yu took a deep breath and recited the soul line: "I love you!"

To be fair, the voice was not very high.

But at this volume, two hands covering their ears could not cover it.

Four pairs of eyes stared at it at the same time, like the surface of a lake rippled by the wind.

Across the water, they were speechless.

Bai Yu was thick-skinned and said: "I'm talking about the holy object--"

Hour hand: Good, very energetic!

Ding--!

The artifact took effect, and with Bai Yu as the center, the compass of time and space was opened under his feet.

The hour hand began to rotate, slowly passing through the first grid, and then rotating at an exponential rate.

At the moment when the hour hand rotated, they all disappeared completely from the spot and entered the long torrent of time.

...

As the five people disappeared under the Roman wall.

Not far away, the space was torn apart.

The mother of dragons stumbled out of the place in a disheveled state.

She licked her wounds silently and murmured.

"The emperor was killed..."

She was seriously injured and needed at least a hundred years of recuperation to gradually recover.

During this period, the activities of the esoteric religion could only temporarily enter a dormant period.

However, she believed that she would come back sooner or later and avenge her previous shame.

"Holy relics, I remember..."

...

An aurora fell from the sky.

Saints fell one after another in the golden light.

Several of them fell around the body of the Roman emperor.

Even the saints could not help but fall into a brief silence and started arguing with each other.

The Libra Saint held the Libra Scepter, looked at the emperor's body silently, closed her eyes, and sighed.

Everyone else thought she was mourning.

But they didn't know.

The corner of her mouth in the dark was slightly raised.

…

The final winner of the palace coup in one night was not the eldest son, but the youngest sixth prince of the Roman emperor who survived by chance.

But he was too young to control the political situation, and he was not canonized, so he could only rely on the power of the great nobles to stabilize the situation.

Starting with this coup, the Roman Empire entered a period of decline.

After just a few generations, wars inevitably came and entered a period of division between the East and the West.

…

Hundreds of years later, in the suburbs of a coastal city.

A young man walked on the street, looking for prey.

He was a famous pickpocket of this generation, with perfect theft skills, and he was also a fan of classical mechanisms and mazes.

The stolen funds were used to build various mechanisms and equipment.

The reason why he did this was that he wanted to be remembered by people.

He wanted to become a legend and leave his name in history.

This was difficult, and he could not reveal his identity.

In this way, he lived a mediocre life until he was nearly thirty years old.

One day, he was hiding in the basement, studying the classical mechanism, when something suddenly fell and hit his head.

He looked down.

It turned out to be a broken hand.

At first he thought it was a specimen from his collection, but the moment his fingers touched it, he clearly felt that the time around him was slowing down, slowing down dozens of times.

"This, this is..."

The man retracted his fingers, and after panicking, excitement surged in his heart.

This is the starting point of the legendary thief Arsene Lupin.

History is a little girl who can be dressed up by anyone, and fate is a script that has been written.

There is no accident caused by chance, only the necessity brought by necessity.

The beginning is also the end; the end is also the beginning.
