Are you worthy enough to listen to what I, Shura Armor, have to say?

"What are you thanking me for? Aren't we a band? According to what you said, we are a community of shared destiny, right?"

"Yes, it's a community of shared destiny!" Xiangzi caught the energy bar and bit it hard: "So, I won't let you get hurt"

She would never let the tragedy of Zilda gas happen again, and she would never let Xila die.

This was a heavy responsibility, and the weak Shoko Toyokawa could not bear it, so Shoko killed her with his own hands.

"The weak me of the past...is dead!"

Xiangzi rushed out of the door and his figure gradually grew bigger.

I, reproduce!

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

ps: I heard that Xiangzi will start to stand up in the seventh episode.

Is it really possible to stand up in one episode?

Xiaoxiang, will you win?

Summoners and Heirs of Light 2.0: Chapter 185: The Battle of Zilda Center

“Silla, so amazing~”

"Wow, Silla can finally speak. I'm so happy!"

“Silla, it’s time to eat again, ah~”

For some reason, at this moment, Silla's thoughts once again went back to 20 years ago.

At that time, it was very small, so small that it couldn't even eat anything, and needed its owner to feed it milk powder spoon by spoon.

At that time, it was not very sensible. Every time after eating, it would burp and then lie down in the cage to sleep, leaving a big mess for its little owner to clean up.

The little master is not very old, but because her father is too busy at work to take care of her, she seems very mature and always helps Sila clean up the mess with a smile.

The little master didn't have any big wishes, he just hoped that Xila could play with him again when he grew up. However, now that Xila has grown up, he can't find his little master no matter where he looks.

Along with the memories of the past, Xila couldn't help shedding tears of blood. It didn't have much time left. It relied on the power of various radioactive substances to become huge, and relied on the power borrowed from Xiangzi to maintain its current form. All this was to cut off the hateful gas that killed its master in the past - Zilda gas.

After the big explosion, the world realized how unreliable this thing was. Sira, as one of the lives that was almost killed by this thing, understood it even more.

After seeing the huge explosion again, Sira confirmed how dangerous that thing was. It was a demonic substance that should not be synthesized and should not appear in this world.

There is no way to utilize it, nor is there a way to safely degrade it. Even the biological father of that thing, Dr. Nezu, has been studying it for twenty years and has not yet found the slightest possibility of utilizing that gas.

Dr. Nezu was extremely "lucky" to synthesize this thing with a probability of tens of thousands or even tens of millions of one, but this does not mean that he can figure out why this gas was created. It was just a terrible coincidence.

But we have to admit that if he, as the creator, cannot find a reasonable way to use this thing, then it probably means that there is no such thing in the world at all, and he can only find a way to get rid of it.

But even the method of dealing with this thing is accompanied by great risks, because no one can guarantee that a huge explosion will not occur during transportation. Some people have mentioned whether these things can be placed in a relatively stable environment and sent into space for processing, but it was immediately rejected.

Because Zilda gas seems to resonate easily with the space environment, if it is sent into space, it may even produce an explosion more powerful than that on Earth.

Now, the only one who has the confidence to deal with this thing is Silla.

“Gah—”

Xila let out a long roar towards the sky and flew towards the place where the Zilda gas was stored.

It was moving very fast, almost racing against time, because it didn't know whether Dr. Nezu and its own body could last until tomorrow. It had to understand this matter thoroughly before one of them died.

One kilometer before the center of Zilda, the Victory team members who had already noticed it blocked its way.

The two fighter planes flew in alternating formations, continuously shooting green rays at Xila's body, making its already tattered body even more bloody. The broken flesh and feathers exploded in the air, creating a brilliant blood rain.

Sila cried out in pain, but even so, it had no intention of harming the members of the Victory Team. It just silently endured the attack and continued to move forward desperately.

The firepower of the Victory Team shot it down from the sky to the ground. It dragged its huge wounded body slowly forward, and its broken body left a huge blood mark on the ground. The miserable appearance made the Victory team members stop involuntarily.

"Really...are you going to continue the attack?"

Lina was the first to ask what was on everyone's mind. Even though Silla had been harmed to this point, there was still no hatred towards humans in its eyes. It was still unwilling to point its claws at the Victory Team members. Could such a kind and docile guy really be their enemy?

At this moment, even the most radical Xincheng couldn't help but clench his fists and stopped shooting.

However, no matter what everyone thinks or how dissatisfied they are, under the current circumstances, they must continue to attack Xila.

"Don't go any further..."

Everyone watched Sira struggling to move forward on the ground, and finally gritted their teeth and pressed the launch button.

“Please, don’t go any further!!!”

Xila is not a thick-skinned monster. For its current state, a random ordinary attack from the Victory Swallow could potentially take its life.

Now, almost fatal shells attacked from two directions at the same time, once again exploding a dazzling blood flower, but this time it was not Xila's blood, but... Xiangzi's.

At this critical moment, Xiangzi finally arrived at the battlefield. The moment she appeared, Xila, who had absorbed the opponent's energy for several days, almost immediately recognized the opponent through her breath.

“Gah—”

Xila twisted her body restlessly, desperately pushing her head against Xiangzi, trying to get the latter to leave here quickly. In her simple opinion, Xiangzi was as innocent and lovely as her little master, and she could not let her step into this dangerous battlefield.

But Xiangzi came here this time just to stop Xila, how could he leave like this?

She struggled to stand on the ground. She was not wearing a belt now, and could not use the general form, and her defense was greatly reduced. Therefore, the two beams of light just now caused great damage to her. But even so, she was still able to temporarily block Xila, who was more seriously injured than her.

Xiangzi tore off the wings from his back, tied himself and Xila tightly together, and pulled the wings hard, unwilling to let the other move forward even a step.

Out of desperation, Xila had to spit out rays from his mouth to fight back, but even at this time, the kindness in his heart still made it subconsciously unwilling to spit out an attack on Xiangzi, so the attack hit the center of Zilda by mistake, opening a huge hole in the protective wall of the center.

The internal defense mechanism detected the impact and extended automatic mines from the ground according to a pre-set program, pouring countless shells towards Xiangzi and Xila.

!

Xiangzi immediately stood in front of Xila and used his body to help it block the shells, but her fragile body could not withstand such a fierce attack. In desperation, she could only untie the wings and spin to resist the artillery fire.

But at this time, something even more shocking happened. After being freed from his restraints, Xila struggled to fly up, coughing up blood while desperately flying towards the center of Zilda.

Seeing this, even Xincheng, the toughest member of the Victory Team, didn't know what to do: "Commander... do we have to... do we have to continue to kill this guy?"

"..."

Even experienced commanders didn't know how to answer this question. No one knew how to answer this question.

By now, everyone is questioning their own behavior.

Is what you are doing now the right thing?

In the gap of everyone's silence, Xila, who was not protected by Xiangzi, was finally shot down by the automatic mine fire just one step away from the center of Zilda. It wailed as if accusing something.

Obviously... just a little bit more.

Xila's sky-blue pupils looked unwillingly towards the center of Zilda, but only more artillery fire attacked it.

Finally, Xiangzi couldn't bear it any longer.

She didn't want to see her friend die in front of her. Even if what the other person was doing was dangerous and terrible, she still couldn't bear to watch her friend die.

Then, after a long absence, the flame began to burn.

Sorry, Deng, I broke my promise again.

After silently apologizing to his best friend in his heart, Xiangzi felt the pain of his body and blood burning for the first time in a long time, and also felt the power brought by the pain for the first time in a long time.

In the raging fire, Xiangzi arrived in front of Xila almost instantly. The high-temperature flames melted all the automatic mines and the shells in front into molten iron in an instant and immediately vaporized them. The land in front of the center of Zilda turned into tumbling high-temperature magma, turning into a scorching dead city that no living person could enter.

After resolving the immediate crisis, Xiangzi's burnt, almost charred body half-knelt on the ground, continuously emitting white steam into the sky.

And behind the steam, everyone seemed to see a man walking out of the Zilda Center, holding a large box, and resolutely stepping on the ground that had not yet completely solidified and was almost like magma, walking towards Xila step by step.

It's Dr. Nezu.

After seeing what Silla had insisted on, he decided to respond to Silla's perseverance. He believed that his family would definitely do something blinded by hatred, and he was determined to respond to this expectation.

But his condition was not much better than Xila's. His body had long been on the verge of death. Now he was stepping on the scorching land. Every step he took was on the edge of being dragged away by death, just like Xila who was still wriggling towards the center of Zilda.

Xiangzi, Xila, and Dr. Nezu, now everyone is on the verge of their limit, but no one chooses to give up. Xiangzi chooses to believe in Xila, lowers his huge body and turns it into a bridge, allowing Dr. Nezu to walk towards Xila step by step.

After seeing his figure, Sila suddenly opened his mouth that was stained with blood, and a golden light emanated from it, enveloping Dr. Nezu and Zilda Gas.

Dr. Nezu only felt a gentle force spreading throughout his body, and the Zilda gas in his hand slowly entered Xila's body, but no explosion occurred.

It is impossible for something like Zilda gas to remain stable and not explode in the body of a living thing, unless Xila had actually found a way to stabilize Zilda gas long ago.

From the very beginning, it never intended to take revenge on Zilda Gas. It simply wanted to safely get rid of this hateful being that killed its little master and prevent it from killing anyone else.

At this moment, both the Victory team members and Dr. Nezu realized this.

"Oh my god...what did I just do?"

Xincheng choked up as he watched the scene in front of him. He couldn't believe that he had just become such a devil, using weapons that were supposed to be used to protect the people to try to kill a guy who was determined to protect everyone.

As a pro-war faction, Xincheng has always tended to take a tough stance towards monsters, believing that as long as these huge guys are killed, everyone's safety can be absolutely guaranteed.

However, after seeing what happened today, he felt that this might not be the case.

No one who sees this scene can still think that "monsters must die."

Dr. Nezu laughed and said, "Sira, are you going to take the Zilda gas away?"

"Gawu——" Sila nodded slightly, then looked at the sky in the distance.

It knew that it had to go there next.

"Then, can you take me with you?" Dr. Nezu asked softly, "I'm about to die, and I want to be with my family when I die."

"Woo..."

Sira silently lowered his head and let Dr. Nezu get on.

“Thank you, Silla, thank you…”

With Xiangzi's help, Dr. Nezu struggled to climb onto Sira's back. He stroked Sira's feathers and seemed to have returned to that happy time twenty years ago: "It's so warm..."

Leaving these words behind, Dr. Nezu slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xila didn't dare to disturb him and struggled to fly, but now it was impossible for it to fly again. It no longer had the strength to do so.

At this time, Xiangzi just hugged it gently, tore off his right arm, put it to Xila's mouth, and gently touched the other's head as he did every time he ate in the past few days, and whispered: "Eat, Xila"

Looking at the huge Xiangzi, Xila seemed to see the little master who fed her tenderly twenty years ago.

“Gah—”

It cried out to the sky and ate Xiangzi's arm. The wound on its body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it regained the power to fly.

Xila spread its wings and flew shakily into the universe. The members of the Victory Team looked at its figure and decided to see it off for the last time.

Victory Swallow No. 1 and Victory Swallow No. 2 dropped ropes to guide Sira into space. The moment it passed through the atmosphere, the huge heat formed flames that burned Sira's body. Dr. Nezu's body emitted light and merged into Sira's body.

No one knows what this light is, and humans should not have such an ability.

And at the moment when the light merged, the flames around Xila turned into a gorgeous waterfall of light. Its originally broken body was covered with golden feathers, and it became as gorgeous as before... or even more gorgeous.

Now it is no longer a monster, but a phoenix of light.

Countless rays of light transformed into a road paved in front of Sira. On the phoenix's crown, a little girl sat in Dr. Nezu's arms, happily calling her name: "Sira!"

"Ugh——!"

Sira responded to her cry with a cry of joy, and its body flew farther and farther along the path of light.

No one knows where its destination is, but in the future, when humans set foot in the universe, we will surely be able to see it again.

Everyone who saw this scene thought the same thing.

At the same time, in the golden light, a ball of light slowly fell from the sky and landed in Xiangzi's hands.

That was Xiangzi's belt and a golden record.

[Thank you for your care these days, Xiangzi].

………………

Ps:

At this time, Ryosuke just made the belt: "The belt is in your hand, then who am I?"

After a week of staying up all night, Ryosuke finally got the belt out: "You have the belt in your hand, so what have I been doing these days?"
