Chapter 654 Flower of Blood and Bone·Hunting the Sword Holder IX
『Ideals are sometimes more important than knowledge, because the knowledge an individual learns is always limited, but sometimes personal ideals are big enough. Including everything in the world.
It is a beacon of human progress and the inner driving force that drives us forward; the ideal we pursue determines the height of our lives. 』
『Fourteen Flesh Engraved·Pursuers of Ideas』
****************
"Huhuhu~~~"
On the ice and snow, the whole body of Foundation Ellie Townsend was covered in red steam.
Her figure loomed in the steam, like a statue about to burn out.
Without the engine's acceleration assignment, the next time she launches an attack, she will have to face a gravity that is 1,750 times greater than her own.
Just as the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven said, she can only launch the final blow to burn everything she has!
"For the awakening of the inner sanctum, for Arn, for dear...Miss Blackwood."
Ellie muttered silently in her heart, clenching her fists tighter, her knuckles turning white from exertion.
Her eyes never left Xia Xiu, whose bright smile seemed to be mocking her powerlessness. In order to teach this arrogant angel a lesson, she decided to burn everything she had.
【Death Gate·Accelerate the explosion! ! ! 】
Not only did the Foundationer not stop accelerating his speed at this moment, but he chose a full stud to accelerate his speed endlessly.
At this moment, Ellie Townsend recalled the experimenter who was responsible for testing her abnormal abilities. The other person smiled and said to her:
"You have the possibility of approaching the speed of light."
Theoretically, the characteristics given by her insect arrows are very terrifying. They can accelerate her speed infinitely. As long as her body can bear the load, she can indeed accelerate to the speed of light.
However, the ideal is full and the reality is cruel.
Even with the [Progressive Acceleration Assignment Engine Device] as a physical eraser, she can only accelerate to the third cosmic speed at most.
Beyond this speed, the thermal effect alone would be enough for her to eat a pot.
Mach 50 is approximately 0.00572% of the speed of light.
Close to the speed of light...
Unless she lands in [Miracle], it is impossible.
The thoughts in the Foundation's mind became more and more divergent and blurred. The random thoughts in her mind were actually just after a while. Her breathing became rapid and heavy, and the cold air cut her throat like a blade, but She didn't waver.
Wow~~~
Wow~~~~
Wow~~~~~~
The red steam began to gradually boil, and the heat waves of the steam rolled out, covering the surrounding area. All the ice and snow have evaporated.
Dong dong dong dong dong——————
Ellie's heart began to beat loudly, like an engine, making a deafening sound.
The huge instant acceleration pushed her body to the limit, and her bones began to shatter under the huge pressure, making a creepy crackling sound.
Her internal organs were torn and squeezed, blood spurted out of her body, and severe pain burned every inch of her nerves like flames.
Ellie's vision gradually blurred, and her vision was filled with blood-red light.
She felt that her muscles began to burn under the high temperature, her skin cracked, and her flesh and blood were blurred.
Her ears were filled with the roar of her own heartbeat, and the whole world was trembling with her heartbeat.
However, even though every part of her body was suffering unbearable pain, Ellie's determination to hunt the fourth sword-wielder of the Kingdom of Heaven has not wavered.
She knows that this blow will be her last chance, and no matter what the result, she will try her best.
She clenched her fists tightly, feeling the surging power in her body. The red steam surged around her, full of destructive power like a violent storm.
"For...our...future..."
Ellie muttered silently in her heart, her voice hoarse and decisive.
Her eyes were locked on Xia Xiu again, and that handsome face gradually became clearer in her field of vision.
She took a deep breath, feeling the final strength gathering in her body, preparing to launch the final attack.
The air is filled with tension, and the whole world is holding its breath for this moment.
Red steam surged violently around Ellie, and her body trembled under the heat and tremendous pressure.
"Judging from her condition, the effect of the next blow will be astonishing."
Xia Xiu held the "Lever of Heaven" tightly in his right hand and felt that the surrounding Qi machines had been locked.
The opponent's gaze is like a sharp blade, staring firmly at him to prevent any possible escape.
[Vashak]'s time-stopping ability is still cooling down. This information was passed on by the caver to the foundationer before his death.
This also made her burn her life without hesitation, preparing to launch the final blow.
The air began to rotate violently, forming an astonishing storm, which was used to lock the fourth sword holder.
"Accelerate yourself and the surrounding air molecules, so that the wind speed reaches extremely high speeds."
Xia Xiu looked around, the high-speed rotating storm would form strong centrifugal force and pressure .
Unfortunately, these moves that are enough to kill normal enemies only serve to restrain him for a few seconds.
The other party probably also has this mentality, so now he has to use some means to deal with the other party's desperate blow.
Clatter, crash, crash, crash————
“With such open abilities, using means and determination, you are more than thirty times stronger than that guy at night.”
Xia Xiu encountered The first [Lord] level enemy is Mr. Night, and if the foundation person in front of him, Ellie Townsend, fights Mr. Night.
He believed that the opponent could kick the opponent to death within three minutes at the first cosmic speed of Mach 23.
At this moment.
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven looked at the burning red steam in the sky and showed a bright smile of extreme joy.
"Ellie Townsend, at the level of the Dominator."
"No one I have ever fought with is better than you!!!"
Dong dong dong——
This is the sound of the second heart working at full speed.
[Heart Engine·Fantasy Particle——]
『Fantasy Particle·Vacuum Zero Point Energy——》
Xia Xiu’s heart engine began to beat violently, like a high-speed machine, emitting A low and powerful roar.
Every beat sent huge energy to his whole body, allowing his strength to reach a new height.
Fluorescent green [Fantasy Particles] also began to emerge from Xia Xiu's body. These particles flowed rapidly in the air, intertwined with pure white light particles, forming a dazzling light curtain.
Thirty-six pairs of light particle wings began to appear wrapped, surrounding the pure white angel like a guardian.
These brilliance are mixed with flashing fluorescent green [fantasy particles], like stars, dotted on every inch of the wings.
[The Scourge Floating Unit·Start--]
[Broken Fire·Full Wisdom Expands--]
Behind the pure white angel with thirty-six wings, open Three hundred and sixty-five thousand "eyes" were opened.
These scourge floating units quickly arranged themselves, forming diamond-shaped fluorescent green barriers.
Each diamond-shaped barrier is exquisite and complex, with faint fluorescence flashing at the edges. They are shields made of pure energy.
【Ohm Messiah·Seven Ring Barrier! ! ! 】
These barriers are layered on top of each other. The seven layers of fluorescent green barriers are like a solid fortress, firmly protecting the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Each barrier emits powerful energy fluctuations, which are in sharp contrast to the surrounding environment.
The energy of light particles and fantasy particles interweaves and flows in the barrier, forming a flowing light curtain effect. The seven-layer barrier is like an insurmountable barrier, shrouding the figure of the pure white angel in sacred light.
Not only are these diamond-shaped barriers extremely strong, they are also extremely flexible.
Every floating unit of the Scourge has been ignited with [Data Fire]. They can act independently and adjust their position and angle at any time according to Xia Xiu's thoughts, ensuring that every direction is perfectly protected. .
The fluorescent green light flickers and dances between these barriers, like countless tiny stars twinkling in the night sky, adding a bit of mystery and majesty to this protective barrier.
The entire barrier forms a luminous protective net under the reflection of light particles.
On the ice sheet, the cold wind howled, and the silver-white world was silent.
However, this tranquility is about to be broken by an irresistible force.
Suddenly, Ellie paused in the air for a moment, and then dived downward at an incredible speed.
The Foundation One wrapped in red steam turned into a roaring red dragon. His body instantly fell from the sky and turned into a stream of light that rushed straight towards the fourth sword-wielding man in heaven who was wrapped in seven rings.
Her right leg was raised high and kicked out from top to bottom at a speed of Mach 50.
The air roared violently around her legs, like torn cloth, and the shock wave spread rapidly around her feet.
Boom————————————
The ensuing air shock wave spread to all directions at lightning speed. The air on the ice sheet was violently compressed, forming a high-pressure area. The shock wave was like an invisible giant wave, cracking and collapsing the ice within a few hundred meters.
Those originally solid ice blocks became fragile in the face of this force and broke apart one after another.
At the same time, the huge heat generated by friction caused the ice layer near the kicking point to instantly melt, forming a thin film of water.
The high temperature evaporated some of the water, and white mist rose up, like smoke on a battlefield.
Even the water vapor in the air was ignited, igniting a weak flame that illuminated the broken scene on the ice sheet.
The seven-layer ring barrier formed by the light particle wings behind Xia Xiu made a low buzzing sound under the violent impact of the shock wave.
Each barrier is shining with dazzling light, and the fluorescent green [Fantasy Particles] are like stars twinkling in it, solid and unyielding.
Although Ellie's attack was overwhelming, these barriers still held strong.
Bang! ! ! !
Bang bang! ! ! ! !
Bang bang! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Ellie's kick hit the first barrier with devastating force.
Amidst the loud noise, a crack appeared in the first barrier, and the light suddenly became dim.
Boom——————————
Then, her attacks hit the barrier layer by layer, each layer trembling under the huge impact.
“Ah————”
Under the extreme heat and pressure, Ellie’s body continued to suffer severe pain.
The muscles were torn apart under the high pressure, the bones creaked under the huge impact, blood spurted out of the body, and hot steam rose from her skin.
Her body was burning.
Death was calling her.
And she will burn everything she has! ! !
“For...the inner temple to awaken!!!”
Click~~
Click~~
Crack~~
The first level·Broken!
Second level·Broken!
Third level·Broken!
The fourth level·Broken!
Under the fierce attack, Xia Xiu's seven layers of barriers were shattered layer by layer.
However, the cost of this blow was huge.
At the moment she kicked, the huge acceleration and impact pushed her body to the limit.
Her bones shattered instantly under the huge pressure, making a crisp cracking sound, like dry branches breaking in the cold wind.
Her internal organs were torn and squeezed, and the pain penetrated every cell of her body like a sharp knife. Blood spurted out of her body, mercilessly impacting her body like a flood that burst a dam.
The fifth floor·Broken!
The high temperature generated by air friction burned her skin and outer tissues into charcoal, her muscles were burned away in the heat, and the pain spread like fire.
The consciousness of the Foundation is dissociated in this endless pain, floating in a dark abyss, and falling into the abyss of destruction.
Ellie felt that her body was disintegrating under the huge force, her bones were turned into powder by the huge force, and her internal organs became fragmented under the compression.
The sixth floor·Broken!
"There is...one more layer..."
Crack~~~
The breaking sound came as expected, but this time it was not the barrier that was broken, but It's the body of Foundation Ellie Townsend.
"This is...my limit. What I can...do...is destroy his protection...dependence..."
Her body was like a piece of paper torn apart by a huge force, turning into countless fragments and floating in the air. Her flesh, flesh and bones turned into fine dust in the air, and dissipated into the ice and snow with the wind and snow.
The insect arrows and 8 leg bones fell in the ashes, and were picked up by [Sisyphus] in a blink of an eye.
Ellie Townsend who died was lucky because she thought she had tried everything she could to test the limits of the fourth sword holder in heaven.
She did not see the scene that made her despair, nor did she see the "eyes" of the broken six-layer barrier recovering from the shattering.
At this moment, Xia Xiu quietly looked at his opponent who had turned to ashes, his pure white eyes flowing with a torrent of data that only he could see.

————————————
This is the power of the stealer who stole the fire of the Broken God, the power of [Ohm Messiah].
The broken six-layer barrier was restored to the fifth layer in just an instant.
The fourth sword-bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven has thirty-six wings and holds a long silver stick in his right hand with a leisurely expression.
He stretched out his left hand, making an elegant and calm movement from his chest to the left.
Crack——
With this movement, the original seven layers of fluorescent green barrier instantly disintegrated like fragile glass.
Three hundred and sixty-five thousand "eyes" are suspended behind him.
Xia Xiu raised his head, his pure white eyes as pure as fresh snow, his gaze sharp and deep.
His eyes looked towards a void, which seemed to be empty, but invisible fluctuations were revealed in his keen perception.
He "smelled" the smell of fear and trembling, the trembling and uneasiness coming from the depths of his soul.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile, like a hunter discovering his prey hiding in the dark.
This world of ice and snow seems extremely quiet under the gaze of pure white angels. Only the invisible fear fills the air, turning into a suffocating sense of oppression.
Xia Xiu looked down at everything like a god, his pure white eyes flashed with cold light, and the cold wind around him seemed to be stagnant due to his presence.
Rumble————
The [Infinite Train] that disappeared in the battle reappeared in front, with an extremely fierce aura, trying to crash into the sword holder.
Xia Xiu just glanced at the train in the distance, and then he slowly raised the "Lever of Heaven" in his hand. The muscles in his right arm were tense, and the long silver stick in his hand glowed under his control. cold light.
With one smooth movement, he threw the long silver stick in his hand into the void in the distance.
Boom——————
At that moment, the long silver stick turned into a dazzling rainbow light, cutting through the sky with a harsh buzzing sound.
The air trembled violently along the flight path of the long stick, as if it was about to be torn apart by this powerful force.
"Crack——"
The silver rod head hit the void, making a crisp shattering sound like glass.
The surrounding void also cracked like glass, with spider web-like cracks appearing.
This blow penetrated the boundary between reality and illusion, exposing everything hidden in the void.
"Whoops——"
With a sharp sonic boom, the angel with thirty-six wings turned into a white light and shadow, moving toward the "Lever of the Sky" at an alarming speed 』He rushed in the direction where he was.
His body rotated gracefully in high-speed motion, and thirty-six light particle wings spread out behind him.
While spinning, he lightly stepped on the other end of the "Lever of Heaven" with his right foot. With the added force of this moment, the entire mirror-like cracked network shattered instantly, and a dark space gap appeared in front of him.
Xia Xiu didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and took the "Lever of Heaven". The thirty-six wings suddenly spread out, like a white angel flying high, turning into a dazzling white rainbow light. Without hesitation, he rushed into the dark gap.
Woooooooo————
[Infinity Train] made an unwilling roar and watched the pure white angel disappear in front of him.
************
Inside the abnormal space.
Boom——
After Xia Xiu opened the space crack, the scene in front of him immediately became distorted and dim.
He was suspended above an endless stretch of rotten waterways, and the air was filled with a strong putrid smell that was nauseating.
The waterway stretches endlessly, forming a labyrinth-like structure. The walls on both sides are covered with rotten bricks and moss. Cracks and dirt are everywhere, and putrid liquid is constantly leaking and ticking.
Rotten bricks fell off from time to time and fell into the dark brown water, making a dull splashing sound.
The water quality in the waterways is extremely poor, showing a dark brown color and exuding a strong rotten smell.
Carrion, rotting plants and chemical waste float in the water.
These corrosive substances cause objects that come into contact with water to quickly rot and rust.
The organism will show symptoms of skin rot and tissue necrosis immediately after contact.
The entire waterway is in a state of eternal darkness, and the only source of light is the occasional ghost-green fluorescent moss on the walls.
The light was weak and difficult to illuminate the surrounding environment, and various strange sounds echoed in the air. Whispers, cries and roars came from the depths of the waterway, which was creepy.
The temperature in the waterway always remains low, about 5°C to 10°C.
The air humidity is extremely high and filled with the smell of decay, giving people a heavy sense of oppression.
In this rotten space, Xia Xiu saw familiar and terrifying monsters.
In the rotting waterways, the air is filled with a strong putrid smell that is suffocating.
Monsters crawl across the rotting ground in various horrific forms, preying on any creature that comes close.
The first thing that catches the eye are the monsters with more than 20 hands or front claws.
Their arms are constantly clawing at the rotten ground, making a creepy scraping sound as they crawl.
Each hand is covered with sharp nails that can easily tear apart any prey that tries to escape.
The monsters' eyes were empty, glinting with hunger and desire.
Then, there are the monsters with huge and disturbingly shaped mouths or insect mouthparts.
Their mouths open, revealing dense sets of sharp teeth and wriggling mouthparts, making disgusting chewing sounds.
These monsters are constantly devouring everything around them. Rotten plants, soil, and any living creature cannot escape their attack.
Every bite is accompanied by splashes of rotten material, and the stench spreads everywhere.
There are also monsters that have no legs and grow on the ground like plants.
Their roots penetrate deeply into the rotting soil, constantly absorbing the surrounding decaying matter.
The bodies of these monsters are twisted, covered with decaying moss and dirt, and emit a disgusting smell.
They were still, but the sound of sucking roots and flowing decaying matter was eerie.
Even more terrifying are the monsters with parts of their bodies charred and burning.
Their bodies are constantly dripping with burning asphalt, and the surrounding air is filled with a pungent smell of burning.
Any living body that comes close will be burned by these burning liquids and make a tragic wailing sound.
The eyes of these monsters flash red and are filled with endless anger and pain.
Monsters whose bodies were pierced by several sharp objects are also wandering in this rotten waterway.
The pierced part continuously leaks venom, corroding everything around it.
The venom dripped onto the ground, making a sizzling sound and emitting black smoke.
The monster's body exudes a strong smell of decay, and the pungent smell makes it almost impossible to breathe.
Finally, there are the monsters that carry heavy objects on their backs.
Rusted iron chains tied these objects to their backs, and the monsters staggered and groaned.
Every step was accompanied by the clanking of chains and heavy breathing.
Their bodies are twisted, and their surfaces are covered with rusted iron and rotten skin, giving people an endless sense of oppression.
These monsters that were originally on the [Infinity Train] appear here again, but this time their number reaches tens of millions.
Behind these monsters, Xia Xiu saw eight recipients and two members of Team Rocket.
They looked at themselves with hatred and anger.
Looking at them, the pure white angel couldn't help but reveal a smile that made people even more angry and sarcastic. He said to everyone present:
"Everyone, this is only the second form~"
The arrogant attitude of not taking the enemy seriously made the members of Inner Hall Awakening and Team Rocket, who had lost their two companions, dizzy!
No matter what the cost! ! !
They all have to kill this arrogant angel! ! ! !

[Hirmi’s real-time report——]
[Resource Scheduling——]
[Resource Scheduling Six: The Hell of Rotten Waterways (Abnormal Space Project)
Description: A rotten waterway is a seemingly endless stretch of waterway with extremely poor water quality and a strong rotten smell. The real entrance to the waterway is located in an abandoned industrial area in ■■■. The internal structure of the rotting waterway is extremely unstable and constantly changing, and those who enter the waterway report that the space seems to be constantly extending and twisting, making it impossible to find an exit.
Water channel structure
Endless Stretch: The waterway appears to extend endlessly, both visually and physically, with seemingly no end. The path of the waterway is constantly changing, forming a maze-like structure, making it impossible for entrants to find the exit.
Rotten walls: The walls on both sides of the waterway are covered with rotten bricks and moss, exuding a strong rancid smell. The surface of the wall was covered with cracks and dirt, and putrid liquid was constantly seeping out.
Extremely poor water quality: The water quality in waterways is extremely poor, showing dark brown or black color and exuding a strong rotten smell. The water is mixed with a variety of decaying matter, including carrion, decaying plants and chemical waste.
Corrosiveness: The corrosive substances in water are extremely strong, and any object that comes into contact with water will quickly rot or rust. The organism rapidly develops symptoms of skin decay and tissue necrosis upon exposure.
………………
This abnormal space can be marked through special space thaumaturgy, and can also be connected and moved through space thaumaturgy. After the connection, the caster will become the only controller of the space {Current space holder: Harold Baker (Food) Element·Survivor)}.
Application: The corrosive water quality and endless stretches of waterways in this space can be used to process some hazardous wastes that are difficult to destroy. Any material that enters waterways will be quickly corroded and decomposed, ensuring its complete destruction.
It can be used as an extreme means of imprisonment to imprison abnormal individuals or persons who are extremely dangerous and cannot be controlled by conventional means. Due to the endless extension of the waterway and the inability to find an exit, there is almost no possibility of escape for the prisoners.
In certain emergency situations, waterways can serve as a temporary shelter or isolation area to prevent abnormal events from spreading to the outside world. For example, in the event of a large-scale abnormal event or disaster, affected individuals or items can be temporarily moved to this space for isolation and control. 】
【Resource Scheduling 7: Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier
Description: [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier] is an ordinary-looking copier with dimensions of 60cmx50cmx45cm. There is no brand logo or manufacturing information on the body. There is a flatbed scanning area on the top of the device for placing originals, and a paper outlet on the front of the device.
When the photos of the project [Black Wedding Dress] are placed in the scanning area of [Extraordinary Wedding Dress Photo Copier] and the copy function is started, [Extraordinary Wedding Dress Photo Copier] will start copying at an amazing speed. The device is capable of producing more than 100,000 copies of extraordinary wedding photos in a day, with the photos being visually identical and having extraordinary properties identical to the originals.
Each photocopied photo will have the anomalous properties of a [Black Wedding Dress] photo, including:
Picture Tone Change: The tone of the photocopied photo will have a dramatic change, similar to black gothic art Or a processed nostalgic Victorian style.
The white balance is biased towards dark and cold tones: the various flora, fauna, furniture and room decorations in the photo will change to the corresponding furniture from before the Middle Ages, looking relatively shabby.
Changes in the distant view: When the photo contains a distant view, sometimes Gothic-style buildings or objects such as crosses and guillotines can be seen.
Male Alienation: The men in the photos will be severely alienated and become more like beasts or arthropods, and these characteristics are related to the behavioral problems or criminal history of the corresponding male.
Experiment Record:
Experiment-01
Experimental Subject: Wedding Dress Project
Photo copying process: Place a photo of the wedding dress project in the scanning area of [Extraordinary Wedding Dress Photo Copier] and start copying.
Result: Within 24 hours, 100,000 photos with the same extraordinary properties were successfully copied.
Experiment-02
Experimental object: wedding dress project
Process: Place multiple photos of different wedding dress projects in the scanning area of [Extraordinary Wedding Dress Photo Copier] and start it copy.
Result: [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Duplicator] successfully made 100,000 copies of each photo, each copy retaining the extraordinary properties of the original photo.
Appendix-A: An examination of the internal structure of the [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier] shows that its internal components are no different from ordinary copiers, but its energy supply and copying speed far exceed the level of modern technology. Attempts to reverse engineer its technology have failed.
Appendix-B: To avoid abusing the copying capabilities of [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copier], all copied photos must be strictly controlled and managed. No one is allowed to copy or carry photos of wedding items out of the holding facility without permission. Violators will face disciplinary action.
Researcher Notes: The abnormal copying ability of [Extraordinary Wedding Photo Copying Machine] provides the consortium with the opportunity to copy the characteristics of wedding photos, but it also brings potential risks. It is necessary to ensure that all photocopies are strictly controlled to prevent the spread of anomalous effects. Future research will focus on the energy supply and working principle of the device in order to find safer and more efficient application methods. 】
