my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 96 A botched sacrifice

The frontal battlefield was not the one-on-one duel Wang Shui had imagined.

The live broadcast he saw was not the overall view of the miniature battlefield drone, but the perspective of Witte's mobile armor.

The high-speed switching of images is quite unfriendly to flat projection, so Wang Shui chose [Advent Mode].

In the reduced overall perception, the projected light effects surrounded Aqua Regia, making him immersed in the scene.

He can now even see various real-time parameters inside the mobile armor.

This is a very private live broadcast perspective, open only to him.

Now, Wang Shui has returned to the battlefield and is facing the big crocodile, but at this time, the big crocodile has turned into a smaller form.

The humanoid body of more than three meters high makes it more flexible and faster, and can more easily capture those despicable medium-sized creatures.

As a despicable medium-sized creature, Aqua Regia understood.

A huge body brings great power.

But if the levels are the same, and the larger one cannot defend well, then the larger size will become a liability and a living target.

The big crocodile, which has now shrunk to about three meters, has been pressed to the edge of the city, but has never suffered any substantial damage.

And I have to mention that the aesthetics of the big crocodile are quite good, his appearance in human form is quite handsome, and the worn scales that are deliberately retained are also quite distinctive.

In this form, he is still a seventh-level extraordinary creature. Even though he cannot fly freely, he can chase down more than a dozen people with just his much weaker body.

Ah, that's right, a dozen or so people, the lowest being fifth-level masters. Since they are all in a war, why do they care about the morality of the world? Everyone is on the same page.

On this kind of battlefield, level five is the lowest entry standard. Mobile armor and advanced weapons can provide them with certain survival and output capabilities.

But even with Li Junqing, Witte, and an unknown high-level assassin raiding the formation, the pressure on these fifth levels is still great.

From Wang Shui's perspective, Witte's mecha activity data has always remained at a very low level.

"They are fixing the match, and so is the big crocodile." Sylvia gave the answer before Wang Shui asked.

"Are those fifth-level ones too?"

"No, they are sandbags to vent the anger of the big crocodile, but those who were injured and left the game are not dead. Tsk, this is the face of advanced civilization."

Sylvia was unhappy.

She is a very open-minded person and may not be particular about her life, but she is very strict when it comes to fighting.

In the past, in order to train Aqua Regia, even if she was feeding moves, she would hit the vital points with her deadly moves. A moment of contact would cause Aqua Regia to lose its combat effectiveness.

But her seriousness about fighting and war led to her untimely death.

It was precisely because of her seriousness that she achieved a combat master certification that far surpassed that of Werther at the fifth level.

Yes, Witte holds a crystal badge with 31 sword stars, while Sylvia got 99 sword stars at the fifth level.

As long as there is mobile armor of good enough quality, Sylvia can kill Werther.

Of course, what we are talking about here is Sylvia, the former queen of the battlefield and known as the "Penumbra of the Moon", not the digital soul that is currently driving an artificial human body.

Sylvia will not regret the past, nor will she complain about her situation. She carefully observes the battlefield and expresses her dissatisfaction, that's all.

Aqua regia gave up control of his body. With Sylvia taking charge of his body to observe, he could gain more information.

"The energy field is fluctuating, and someone is intervening."

As soon as Sylvia finished her plain words, Li Jun spoke softly in the communication channel:

"The target is coming, everyone prepare your things, the injured leave first."

Then a bunch of confirmation lights turned on. Obviously, everyone was well prepared.

"Mr. Witte?" Li Junqing asked simply on the public channel.

"I'm here, leave [Tyrant Rayel] to me."

After Witte answered, he immediately accelerated forward from a distant position, and the seventh-level mobile armor entered a short [super maneuver] mode.

At the same time, four miniature [Phase Drones] were also launched from behind him. The drones marked a battlefield belonging to Werther in the gap between reality and other planes.

Of course, the big crocodile Rayel is in this battlefield.

"Let's talk somewhere else?" Witte extended an invitation to Rayel, and what he responded to was an explosion of energy claw marks.

Witte's mobile armor raised a lavender shield, resisted the attack, and then activated an ability.

Sylvia quickly glanced at the small battle report panel inside the mecha.

Wang Shui also saw the information about that ability. Well, in other words, it was the full name of that spell.

----

*Dimensional Exile*
>Russell School·Spellcasting Skills "Spell Potency-Spell Ripple-Spell Burst-Self-Check Cycle-Spell Energy Saving-Spell Disproportionation-Spell Haste"
----

Vert is actually a spell caster? !

Wang Shui was shocked by Witte's magical attainments. The Russell School was proficient in strengthening, and naturally it was also very proficient in strengthening conventional spells.

But Witte is not using conventional spells, and his enhanced stacking skills are really scary.

Aqua Regia has made such rapid progress that currently it can only superimpose one skill on one spell, and the difficulty of subsequent enhancements will increase exponentially.

The intuitive effect of this astonishingly complex spell was equally astonishing. All the people nearby disappeared, and the surrounding environment lost its color, leaving only the seventh-level Zhayer.

The nearby space also became quite chaotic. With unclear perception, Wang Shui could guess that if he used his space ability on this battlefield, he might be lucky enough to leave a whole corpse.

But the live broadcast effect was not affected.

The originally aggressive Rayel immediately lost its desire to attack after being hit. It stood quietly on the spot, seemingly recovering.

And here, Witte, after releasing the first spell, made no subsequent moves, and the two guys stopped in tacit agreement.

"Are they together?" Sylvia made a general guess.

"No, according to the information I got, we don't have any helpers to instigate the opposition. There is no need to hide this information from me. I think they are just fighting a tacit understanding."

Gee.

Hearing this, Sylvia expressed her disdain. It was time for the tacit understanding battle to be a little more active. It would be better for these two guys to stop acting.

Wang Shui had no choice but to switch back to the live broadcast of the battlefield outside. This time the perspective was switched to the miniature battlefield drone.

Indeed, no matter how proud he was, he could not get the first-person perspective of Li Junqing, one of the agents of the Demon Hunter organization. How could Wang Shui see the details inside the mecha?

But now, God's perspective can see more clearly what happened on the battlefield.

On the battlefield that had long been turned into ruins, many huge black and gold obelisks appeared inexplicably.

The top of the obelisk is engraved with lines similar to PCB copper-clad boards, which looks somewhat similar to the logo of the Dream System.

Wang Shui knew that thing. It was the holy seal of the Mechanicus. It had nothing to do with the dream system, probably.

In the middle of a large number of obelisks is a huge mechanical giant. The black and green armor shows that it is an enemy, and it is indeed being suppressed.

When Wang Shui switched back to the perspective, the mechanical giant had just been suppressed. Naturally, Li Junqing and a group of friendly extraordinary beings would not miss the opportunity to deal damage.

The energy was bound into various skill effects, bombarding the giant crazily.

Wang Shui also saw cannonballs with a caliber of only about a hundred millimeters flying towards the giant, and these seemingly ordinary cannonballs were burning with dark golden flames.

Every time a cannonball hits, it will leave huge wounds on the mechanical giant's body, and a large amount of stripped metal material is filled with those mechanical souls.

The golden holy fire did not go out, it began to attach to all machinery.Logically speaking, the damage effect of these shells has exceeded Li Junqing's conventional attacks.

No matter how expensive these shells are or how advanced technology they contain, the people who launch them now are indeed only at level five.

Wang Shui realized more and more that it was precisely because of the existence of these powerful extraordinary weapons that the world would not form an overly deformed society of strong men because of some strong men.

There are a huge number of ordinary people and ordinary extraordinary people, even if their extraordinary potential is not high, there is no room for survival at all.

On those terrifying high-end battlefields, even ordinary people can contribute their own strength.

Extraordinary weapons are somewhat similar to the firearms from Wang Shui's hometown. Bullets fired from the hands of the weak are just as deadly.

However, whether it brings peace and freedom in a broad sense, or whether it brings killing, cannot be determined by the weapon itself.

Just like now, the mechanical giant has been covered in golden flames. It is about to be defeated and will become a trophy. Then these shells are just.

The attack was too smooth, which made Li Junqing hesitate a little as he retreated. His mind was always locked on the head of the mechanical giant.

There is a seventh-level humanoid mechanical structure. The "target" mentioned before is it.

It was sitting upright on the metal throne, being quietly burned by the divine fire of the Mechanicus, without wailing like other weak mechanical souls.

If it weren't for the dark green light shining in its eyes and the aura it inadvertently revealed, Shui Wang would have really thought it was dead.

"Is it because of a strong self-awareness? This seventh-level enemy, who is responsible for attracting the attention of large troops, does not seem to be active in sacrificing himself?"

In response to Sylvia's question, Wang Shui just shook his head.

He doesn't know, doesn't understand, and doesn't understand.

He didn't understand what this kind of being who had reached the seventh level was willing to sacrifice himself for.

Sacrifice yourself in this aggrieved, clumsy, desperate gesture.

The apparent target of these Ability God Affiliates is just an extraordinary engine of around six or seven levels, and there are obviously only a small amount of Gloria fragments in that engine.

Wang Shui didn't think they were stupid. Their tactical thinking was very clear, and their methods of stealing engines were straightforward and effective. They even had spies among the high-level scientific researchers who produced the engines.

You must know that this is a project jointly carried out by several large forces.

And Gloria's dependents are just a group of believers who have lost their gods. The energy source that allows them to exist and advance is gone. How big a wave can they make.

What are they looking forward to?

But no matter what, they are enemies after all.

To treat the enemy and kill them all is the highest respect.

The giant fell, and the huge body was melted into a dark green liquid, and the mechanical souls that could not be seen by the naked eye were being taken away by the obelisk.

In the end, only a seventh-level enemy was left. It slowly raised its right hand, but was unable to put it down. It seemed that it had done nothing, but a series of muffled hums erupted in the voice channel.

The firepower from our own camp temporarily stopped, and all the extraordinary beings were penetrated by a large number of metal spikes and nailed to the ground.

Whether the weapons in their hands or the mobile armors contain a little bit of metal, they will all have a lot of metal spikes.

The Gloria's Seal on these spikes gives them special strength and strange vitality.

Li Junqing was not injured by the spikes.

When the seventh-level enemy raised his hand and put it down, he had already disappeared.

When the friendly groans sounded, Li Junqing's sword had been slowly withdrawn into its sheath.

The seventh-level enemy was shattered, and countless dark blue sword lights suppressed the fragments and the sad mechanical soul.

Perhaps because it was restrained by the Demon Hunting Seal, or perhaps by the Mechanicus, it did not exert the destructive power that a seventh-level weapon should have.

It appears to be the only Seventh Order to be defeated in this conflict, and the only Seventh Order to remain unnamed.

At this time, new power came to the battlefield, no, this power has always been there.

An ordinary warrior stood up. The metal spikes on her body were receding, and the mobile armor was also receding, revealing the luxurious black and gold bishop's robes underneath.

This was a petite young woman, the broad robes of a bishop enveloping her like a giant armor.

She seemed to be human, but her face was as cold and solemn as a machine, and her skin even felt a little translucent.

"Tier seven?"

Sylvia's voice was uncertain. She didn't know the bishop.

The bishop was floating towards the crushed seventh-level enemy, but at this moment she waved her hand and made a sound like some kind of metal instrument from her mouth.

It didn't sound like any language, but Wang Shui still understood her words despite many layers of communication restrictions:

【Oracle·Metal Purification】

A wave of energy spread out, and the metal spikes on the fifth-level helpers instantly shattered. A large amount of metal debris slowly poured out and gathered into ingots.

When the bishop came to the side of the seventh-level enemy with a sluggish soul, Li Junqian bowed slightly and saluted.

This left Wang Shui and Sylvia even more confused.

Given Li Junqing's status, he was actually saluting someone from another force?

And his greatest respect for the Russell family and Wang Shui, this guy who appeared out of nowhere, was just a few polite words on behalf of the Demon Hunter organization and the world of gray fog.

When Shui Wang made a bold guess, the bishop nodded in response, then stretched out his hand to show a dark golden Rubik's Cube that was constantly twisting itself.

The mechanical soul of the seventh-level enemy was immediately absorbed into the Rubik's Cube.

Wang Shui couldn't see clearly the words on each side of the Rubik's Cube, but he knew that this matter was coming to an end.

Sure enough, just when this scene ended inexplicably, Werther also returned to the real world.

There were no scratches on his mobile armor, and the astral crocodile Zayel was also missing.

"Zhayer ran away. After he recovered his ability to tear apart space, he felt your aura and ran away. He is an old fool, so there is no need to chase him."

Many people could tell that Witt and Zayaer were paddling, but they did complete their script.

Everything is as planned and everything is happy.

The planet guards only sacrificed less than 1000 lives, leaving behind millions of mechanical souls, including a seventh-level guy.

And they didn't even have level [-] death, a big victory!

As for the subsequent war disaster statistics, city recovery, exhibition recovery and other matters, Wang Shui has no interest in paying attention anymore.

At night, Werther also returned to the castle complex. He was not injured, but there was an indelible tiredness in his expression.

Wang Shui asked him to rest early, but before Werther left, Wang Shui directly asked the bishop's identity.

"I don't know." Werther replied with a smile.

His smile was not perfunctory or sarcastic, he was just showing that he was comfortable not knowing.

"With your status, you don't know her information?"

Wang Shui was even more curious. Witte was a valet, which was a position second only to the housekeeper. His status in the Russell family was far higher than that of some idiot "Russell".

Moreover, he was very capable and was highly regarded by Grand Duke Russell.

Werther really couldn't explain this, so he could only add:
"Maybe I once knew, but I really don't know now."
