vI'm a cornerstone, I'm here to kidnap the robin

Even though his blood-red eyes had turned purple, Jeremy would never forget the long knife that took his life in an instant.

However, compared to the long sword that had "killed" him once, Jeremy's attention was more attracted by the straight sword held in her right hand.

It was a straight sword with a somewhat strange shape. The overly wide guard had spider patterns on it, which almost occupied the entire guard.

And in the center of the spider pattern, there is a keyhole, and a key with an equally strange shape is inserted into it.

That was the treasure that Jeramy lost in the narrow space of nothingness - the Holy Sword of the King.

Ignoring Jeremy's vigilance, Huang Quan raised his eyes and looked at the venom spray gun in his hand with his crimson eyes. Finally, as if he had confirmed something, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jerami...Jerami Idomonarak ne Brasheri..."

Huang Quan slowly read out Jerami's full name, which had not been mentioned for a long time and was a bit long and difficult to pronounce. He raised his right hand and held Jerami's holy sword in front of him.

"Remnant of the Land of Naraku, the only remaining king of the Worm Abyss, I have been entrusted by someone to personally return this sword to you."

"But before that, I want to ask you some questions."

ps: I’m back, but the Monkey King’s dream is shattered. It’s not that he can’t defeat the enemy, but that he can’t find the enemy.

I got lost in Huangfeng Ridge. There were still several bosses I hadn't found, but I had already seen the Great Sage Huangfeng.

As an old soul player, my obsessive-compulsive disorder of phototaxis does not allow me to fight the final boss without missing something. It's uncomfortable.

Volume 72: The King's Holy Sword, Returned to Its Original Owner

As a self-destructor walking in nothingness, Huang Quan will gradually lose his traces in this world, whether it is various perceptions or his own memories.

However, to this day she still remembers the shock and tragedy she saw when she visited the world called the Worm Abyss.

The huge wreckage of the mecha leaned on the ruins. Although it was dilapidated, it still made people feel its power and dominance like a mountain.

According to Huang Quan's judgment, even among the ranks of the envoys, there are probably not many who can match him.

However, such a powerful mecha is now rusting and lying beside the ruins. Only the broken body and the ruined land silently tell us that a war that was really brutal had taken place here.

It is self-evident what kind of existence its opponent is, as it can destroy such a powerful mecha and the entire planet.

Moreover, she didn’t know if it was Huang Quan’s illusion, but she always felt that the magnificent giant machine in front of her was incomplete.

It's not the feeling of damage after being destroyed, but another more ambiguous intuition.

It was as if the mecha before him, which was even unmatched by ordinary envoys, was just a semi-finished product, lacking the last piece of the puzzle to make it complete.

"Stop here, traveler from a foreign land. If you continue forward, the shadow of nothingness will linger around you. My people, who have become bloody sinful spirits, will probably regard you as an enemy and instinctively attack."

A gentle and mature voice came from behind Huang Quan. It was a tall and graceful figure. Even though she had turned into a bloody sinful spirit under the shadow of nothingness, it could not stop her warm motherly charm.

However, this woman who gently advises others to leave this otherworldly place is not a simple human being.

The eight eyes on the spider-shaped head silently revealed the fact that she belonged to the Zerg.

A mature figure stood on the ruins. In the desolation that flooded into her eyes, her figure did not appear delicate and thin. Instead, she had a bit of the boldness and competence of a warrior.

I guess she must have been an excellent warrior when she was alive.

"Thank you for your advice. I've long been shrouded in the shadow of nothingness, falling towards the bottomless darkness. More than anything else, I'm more curious about what happened to this world to cause it to fall to such a state, even attracting the gaze of the Sleeping Formless One."

Looking at the dilapidated mecha, Huang Quan couldn't help but ask curiously.

She had entered countless worlds shrouded in nothingness and saved the bloody and sinful spirits wandering in them.

Before sinking into darkness, those worlds also experienced struggles that could be described as both tragic and magnificent.

She had seen the sword hills where blood flowed like rivers, countless broken blades piled up into sword tombs, and rivers of blood turned into roars that never dried up;

She had seen the Dead Sea that submerged everything, and countless corpses buried the Sea Patrol Ranger and the Lord of Extinction together there.

But she had never seen such a scene before, where such a powerful mecha was buried silently, yet she still offered prayers and trust to it.

"Want to hear a story? Well, I'll tell you. It happened about eight hundred Amber Ages ago."

Reaching out and stroking the rusty shell of the mecha, the beautiful figure's voice seemed to be reminiscing, but also seemed to be unwilling to give up.

The hand that stroked the shell was extremely gentle, as if afraid of leaving scratches on the already rusty surface, but the other hand hanging by the side had already clenched into a fist, and the sound of knuckles pressing was endless.

"The burgeoning godhood has plunged all Zerg species into confusion and unrest, even our own. Just as the fluttering wings of the universal insect plague threatened to completely assimilate our species, six heroes and their followers arrived here across the vast sea of ​​stars."

A quiet voice of confession was heard, and a beautiful figure stood beside the overturned mecha, silently recounting the past that had long been buried by time.

"Six heroes put aside their prejudices and worked together to disperse the swarm of true stinging insects that enveloped the sky, saving the planet from the brink of collapse. One of the heroes took the initiative to communicate with our tribe and soothe our panicked hearts."

"Thus, six heroes became six kings. The birth of a new life heralded the arrival of an era of peaceful coexistence between humans and the Zerg."

When mentioning this, Qianying's voice became more cheerful... and sweet.

But soon, her voice became low again, like a ghost that had died many years ago, her words mixed with the sound of the wind and sobbing in her ears.

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Although the insect swarm that was swarming here was repelled, the information it carried was still fed back into the brains of the beings within the insect swarm."

"You are the existence of the insect swarm, you mean..."

After hearing Qianying's description, even someone as cold as Huang Quan couldn't help but ask.

Although she had guessed before, after all, being able to defeat such a powerful mecha is definitely not something that a single envoy can do, but she did not expect that such a being would actually take action here.

"Yes, the Star God of Breeding, Taizyulos, descended upon this world personally, bringing with him the insect swarm and disaster."

Qianying nodded, confirming Huang Quan's guess.

"On the first day of his coming, he took away the sun and light of this world; on the second day of his coming, he devoured the food and crops; on the third day of his coming, he flooded the mountains and rivers; on the fourth day of his coming, he plundered the fear of our people. From then on, we named him Dagodito Dujardan, which means the source of all disasters."

"But it seems that you don't intend to give up just like that."

Huang Quan looked at the ruins of the performance, which were filled with collapsed buildings and castles, and outside the city, the land was burned into yellow sand.

There is no doubt that this place has experienced a struggle where everyone has put everything on the line.

"Unfortunately, everything happened too quickly. The six King's Certificates, which amassed the entire nation's might, hadn't even been completed before the swarm of insects had already obscured the sky."

Thinking back to the past when she was just one step away from success but failed, Qianying couldn't help but sigh.

Time was not on their side after all.

"The final King's Certificate will unite everyone's faith, tightly linking all destinies like a spider's thread. However... we haven't been able to find a suitable container."

"In the end, the six kings could only fight with their incomplete monarchs. In the fierce battle, they gouged out the heart of the Star God and entrusted all their hopes to a young man, hoping that he could, in time, forge it into a vessel for faith and destiny, and save the world. Unfortunately... the right vessel arrived too late. As for the end of this world... you can already see it."

Huang Quan looked at the ruined planet and understood the ending that Qianying had mentioned. The regret of failure was clearly displayed before her.

However, even so, Huang Quan did not feel the slightest contempt in his heart, but instead felt a surge of respect.

The fact that they dared to swing their swords at the Star God was in itself something that worthy of sincere admiration, not to mention that they only used the unfinished final weapon to gouge out the Star God's heart.

Huang Quan couldn't imagine whether they could truly accomplish the feat of killing gods if time was on their side and gave them time to complete the last certificate of king.

It's a pity that there is no if in this world.

"Later, Breeding devoured the King's Certificates and the Monarch's Insect Crystals, using them as heart replacements to complete its own godhood. It then left this world with the insect swarm. An unknown amount of time later, the shadow of nothingness enveloped this place, and the souls wandering the battlefield transformed into bloody sin spirits, just like me."

From then on, the past of this world came to an end, and the desolation and ruin before its eyes told Huang Quan that the future of this place had already come to an end.

"So, is the final King's Certificate completed?"

"It's a blessing in disguise, then. He was able to complete the final King's Certificate before his death, and evaded the eyes and ears of the breeding team. Although he was shattered into pieces and fell into the shadow of nothingness, he still had a glimmer of hope."

When mentioning this, Qianying finally felt a little relieved in her heavy mood, but what followed was a lot of apologies.

Placing all hopes and burdens on her child, even she would feel suffocated and unable to breathe.

"Traveler from a foreign land, if you are willing, could you please fulfill one of my wishes? As for the reward... I have already transformed into a bloody sin spirit, so I can't offer any. But you can ask him for it. I taught him that you should repay a favor you receive."

"Tell me, if I can do it."

Qianying took out a sword with a strange spider-like guard and a key inserted in it.

"This Holy Sword of the King is the treasure he left behind when he was snatched away from the narrow void of nothingness. I hope you can return it to him on my behalf and ask him a question on my behalf."

"Jerami, you..."

Qianying finished her question and nodded politely to Huang Quan.

"I'm grateful for everything, traveler from a foreign land. To be honest, I don't know your name yet. My name is Nefera."

"...Raiden·Welcome River Guard·Mei."

........................

In front of Jeremy, Huang Quan gently turned the key on the guard, and a fine electric current immediately flowed out from the hilt, crawling all over her delicate body like a spider web.

Each of the king's holy swords in the Worm Abyss has a unique authentication mechanism, and only the royal families of various countries are qualified to use them.

If it is forcibly used by others, not only will it fail to exert its power, but it will also cause corresponding countermeasures.

For example, Huang Quan at this moment was covered by an extremely strong electric current. Even with her strength, she couldn't help but frown in such severe pain, and the ends of her purple hair were even a little frizzy due to the electric shock.

However, although his whole body was covered by electric current, Huang Quan had no intention of stopping his actions. He endured the numbness and pain and turned the key silently. The spider guard on it slowly opened.

Although she was not a member of the royal family and could not unleash the power of the King's Holy Sword, she endured the pain and turned the key, eventually activating those insignificant functions.

After all, she still had some privileges given by Nefera. Although they were only disposable, they were enough.

Some spider silk was released from the gauntlet, and some sounds were heard from the gauntlet.

Jeremy...

"Mother?"

Hearing the sound coming from the gauntlet, Jeramy froze in place.

Although he hadn't heard this sound for many years, Jeremy was sure that he had not heard it wrong.

"Listen carefully and answer carefully. This is the question Nefera asked me to convey. If your answer contains lies, I have the right to refuse to return the sword to you."

Huang Quan silently released the hilt of the sword, letting the Holy Sword of the King float in the air, and a fine electric current slowly discharged from her fingertips.

A rather serious voice reached Jeremy's ears, making him subconsciously perk up.

Although he didn't think that someone trusted by his mother would deliberately take the sword away, if his answer really couldn't satisfy his mother and the other party refused to give him the sword, it seemed that he really couldn't snatch it away.

Not to mention whether he could defeat Huang Quan, who had once been able to kill him instantly with a sneak attack in the memory space, Jeremy felt embarrassed to force it just because he didn't answer his mother's question well.

After all, he couldn't lose face in front of his mother.

When Jeremy thought of this, he immediately became alert and ready to accept his mother's inspection at any time. Even the robin beside him took a deep breath, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

[Jerami, did you...eat well? ]

"what?"

"Eh?"

The unexpected question caused both Jeramy and the robin to let out a syllable of doubt.

Obviously, none of them had expected that Nephila's question would be so casual in such a serious occasion.

Hearing the sound coming from the hilt of the sword, Huang Quan silently lowered his head and covered his expression with his hair.

This was the reason why she would rather be electrocuted than not insist on using the recording of the King's Sword to convey her problem. After all, this kind of topic... full of maternal love, was really not easy for her to convey.

I can neither bring myself to do this nor can I be so emotional.

But soon, Jeremy came back to his senses from his astonishment and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't worry, mother. After Kafka picked me up, she always exploited my labor to go on missions, but she still made sure I had good meals. I should be taller than you by now."

【Ah...what a cute child.】

A hair-raising praise emanated from the hilt of the sword. Jeremy couldn't help but turn his gaze to Huang Quan beside him and asked in a low voice.

"Is this real-time communication?"

"No, it's just a recording. But no matter what answer you give, Nefera will probably say this. She believes you won't let her down."

Thinking of the somewhat embarrassed look of the beautiful figure who had become a bloody sinful spirit during the recording, Huang Quan shook his head helplessly.

Huang Quan took back the Holy Sword of the King that was floating in the air, held the blade, and handed the hilt to Jeremy.

"That's all. Nephila will be satisfied with whatever answer you give. So now, this sword... returns to its rightful owner."

Volume 73: The Robin's Decision

"You're a little slow coming back this time. Were you delayed on the way?"

In the underground space of Clark Film and Television Park, Liuying looked at Jeremy who had returned here with a puzzled tone.

After all, judging from the speed at which Jeremy came back the first time, he shouldn't be so slow.
