Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

C.C. led Lelouch by the hand, step by step towards the stone monument in the center of the temple.

When CC touched the monument, the Geass pattern on it suddenly erupted, instantly enveloping the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, their bodies began to become transparent, eventually transforming into a stream of light and merging into the atmosphere.

The white light flowed, and the scene before my eyes changed instantly.

CC opened her eyes: "Great, they really got in!"

But when she saw her surroundings clearly, the smile on her face froze instantly.

The world of C before my eyes is no longer the pure space full of stream of consciousness in my memory, but a dilapidated ruin.

Even human consciousness has stagnated.

"Is this the consequence of Lelouch killing 'God'?" C.C. muttered to himself.

Just then, Lelouch suddenly started trembling and abruptly hid behind C.C.

His eyes were filled with fear, as if he were hiding from something extremely terrifying.

"Lelouch, what's wrong?" C.C. asked, puzzled.

Following the direction of his fear, two blurry figures slowly emerged in the distance.

The familiar silhouette and aura caused CC's pupils to contract instantly.

Charles and Mariana...

But they should have been eliminated by Lelouch, so how could they still exist here?

wrong!

CC quickly realized what was happening, her eyes sharpening: "It's not the real body, it's Xia Lulu's lingering obsession!"

Xia Lulu was once Charles's CODE holder. Even though her original body is dead, her obsession may remain in the world of C, continuing to exist as a phantom.

Just as CC was pondering, black mist suddenly surged from all directions, pouring out from every corner of the ruins and rushing towards the two of them.

That's a collection of negative consciousness generated in C's world!

"Lelouch, grab me!" C.C. hurriedly turned around, trying to grab Lelouch behind her.

But it's too late!

The black mist separated the two, making it impossible for them to touch each other.

CC's outstretched hand was just centimeters away from touching Lelouch's fingertips, but she could only watch helplessly as more mist enveloped Lelouch's body.

All she could see was the fear in Lelouch's eyes, and the hand that reached out to her but could never touch...

"Lelouch!" C.C. screamed in anguish.

In the real-world Wailing Prison...

The armory door was suddenly pushed open, and a burly man in prison clothes walked in. He was the same prisoner that CC had casually tossed to him with the access card earlier.

"Hey, are you guys ready or not?" the man shouted at the people in the armory. He was none other than the true warden of this prison—Beluk.

Inside the armory, the prisoners and soldiers who had been playing and shouting instantly fell silent, their hands moving faster as they quickly equipped themselves with the weapons stored there.

Rifles, grenades, rocket launchers... It's hard to imagine that the prisoners who were originally imprisoned are now fighting alongside the soldiers guarding them.

Judging from how skillfully they were organizing their equipment, they had clearly been in cahoots for a long time.

Belluk walked up to a soldier: "And do you know the number of intruders?"

The soldier quickly spoke up: "Warden, there are only three or four intruders posing as prisoners."

"That's all the people?" Belluk paused for a moment, then sneered, "Fine, we've finally got some fun. No matter how many there are, crush them completely and let them know whose territory this is!"

After saying that, he led the crowd in a grand procession toward the lowest level of the prison.

At the entrance to the underground temple, Karen and Saki were warily watching their surroundings.

Suddenly, the elevator next to us made a "ding-dong" sound, and the elevator door slowly opened.

The two men stared intently at the elevator, ready to fight at any moment.

But when the elevator doors opened fully, a Knightmare appeared before us.

The hatch on top of the mech opened, and Lloyd poked his head out: "Don't be nervous, it's me."

Karen breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, asking in confusion, "Lloyd? How did you end up bringing Knightmare here? Didn't we agree that you only needed to provide technical support?"

Lloyd jumped off the mech: "Because the situation no longer allows me to stay in the back."

"What's going on?" Karen was even more puzzled. "Didn't we already release the prisoners to create chaos and buy time?"

Lloyd shook his head: "Those prisoners and the prison soldiers are in cahoots, and they're heading this way now. We've been outmaneuvered."

“I understand.” Karen climbed into the Knightmare’s cockpit without hesitation. “I’ll buy them time. We can’t let anyone disturb them!”

This Knightmare is just a mass-produced model called 'Goldbaka' from the Kingdom of Kyrgyzstan, but it's better than nothing!

Lloyd quickly warned, "Be careful in everything!"

"Understood!" Karen's voice came from the cockpit.

Immediately afterwards, Knightmare activated, the elevator doors slowly closed, and carrying Kallen and the mech, it headed towards the upper level.

At this moment, Beluk was leading a group of soldiers and prisoners up the stairs toward the underground temple.

Compared to Karen's nervousness, they seemed incredibly relaxed, even having time to chat:

"Hehe, we're really lucky this time."

"What do you plan to do after we capture those women?"

"Needless to say, we'll definitely have to 'enjoy' it to the fullest...!"

But before the prisoner could finish speaking, a loud "boom" rang out, and the entire line exploded.

As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, Karen, piloting the 'Golden Bucket,' burst out, her mech rifle aimed at the group, and she pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Rat-a-tat-tat—" Bullets rained down like a storm, and several soldiers who couldn't react in time fell to the ground instantly.

"Hmph, you attacked without saying a word, which saves me the trouble of looking for you!" Beluk sneered, turned around and boarded a Knightmare.

Other soldiers and prisoners also reacted quickly, some hiding behind pillars and firing at the mechs;

Some ran toward the other two backup Knightmare mechs, wanting to pilot them into battle.

The current situation is: Kallen, with one mech, is facing three Knightmare mechs of the same specifications from the enemy.

"No matter what, hang in there!" Karen gritted her teeth, her eyes hardening.
