Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 120, Section 057: Missile Bombing
Jin Ziyue noticed that the dragon horse was acting strangely, so he immediately stepped aside and placed his hands on the horse's shoulders.

A sense of self-awareness is awakening, and it is taking the opportunity to curb the calamity of [106 Yang 9].

It's now!

He must first remove the "Shunli Chengzhang" (a protective barrier) before he can forcibly peel off the "Bai Liu Yang Jiu" (a powerful protective barrier). However, removing this life-saving measure means losing the means to discern the opponent's true intentions, and he must risk being killed.

In a daze, through tear-blurred vision, he saw the dying Arrogance in his arms.

With his last breath, Arrogance said with relief, "That's great."

“Arrogance…” Ryoma unconsciously hugged her tighter.

A strange attraction came from his shoulder, and he realized that the masked man whose vision had been obscured by arrogance was the one he was looking at.

The energy of 【百六阳九】 was like a surge into a black hole, being absorbed frantically.

The masked man's eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy, and he accelerated his absorption.

However, the dragon horse seemed somewhat numb, as if it couldn't perceive the sudden changes in temperature throughout its body.

"Save her..."

"Save her..."

The weak man kept muttering to himself.

The counterattack of [Bai Liu Yang Jiu] became increasingly fierce, and the rumbling sound from the dome proved that the incident was escalating.

The British Shorthair cat was forgotten in a corner; in fact, it was already on its last legs.

Stones kept falling from the opera house's skylight.

The earthquake intensified. District 16 is located in a plate seismic zone, but it was triggered at this moment, like the wrath of the heavens and the cries of sorrow from the human world.

……

outside.

"Drone shot down! Unable to transmit images!"

"They still have manpower!"

"The rescue team has arrived at the scene. There are five minutes left before the missile launch!"

The latest intelligence kept coming through the walkie-talkie.

Akira Akahoshi, as the commander, coldly accepted any intelligence:

"Prepare the energy harvesting equipment; begin entry after missile bombardment."

"Hai!"

"Report! Attacked by unidentified intruders. First squad suffered heavy losses!"

"who?"

"A sniper!"

Akira Akahoshi's face was gloomy. He had done everything he could, and now the most important thing was to ensure that this major crisis could be eliminated.

"Abandon rescue efforts, set up the site, and await the missile!"

The missile, named Type 7 Explosive Ordnance Missile, features the Buckberg positioning system. Its precise guidance capabilities and super speed of Mach 7 made it a terrifying weapon during wartime.

The base station staff are working urgently to test and verify the data. Soon, this behemoth will be installed in the human world.

……

"Buzz—" Jin Ziyue raced against time, constantly absorbing [106 Yang Nine], but this guy was like a bloated fat man, and the huge amount of energy could not be completely absorbed in a short time.

Seizing the Life Word is essentially a struggle against it, and the opponent is clearly far more powerful.

At this moment, the dragon horse suddenly woke up.

He glanced at Jin Ziyue and knew that the other party was targeting the thing inside his body.

I'm finally free...

But everyone around was gone.

He hugged Arrogance tightly, tears welling in his eyes; it was all too late.

The raging storm around them formed a ring, with vortices spinning at high speed, sandstorms raging, and an unknown force field constantly pushing them outward.

Jin Ziyue pressed down hard on You Donglongma's shoulder, and the [Hundred Rivers Converge into the Sea] technique was running at high speed, absorbing every bit of the energy leaking out of the opponent.

The ground could not withstand the force and began to collapse. The entire opera house was already fragile and on the verge of collapse after a series of devastations.

Fujiwara Chizuru slowly woke up, only to find that her head was still dizzy from being pressed against the ground.

She suddenly realized what was happening, looked up and saw Jin Ziyue holding You Dong hostage, while she arrogantly and helplessly leaned against You Dong's chest, with a huge wound on her back and You Dong holding the tip of Jin Ziyue's knife in his hand.

Due to her nearsightedness and the sandstorm, her vision was limited, so she quickly looked for her gun on the ground.

Yuan's voice drifted softly beside You Dong: "I don't want to leave you."

However, it was the very culprit that killed his own family and friends, and You Donglongma didn't want to pay any attention to it.

With his right hand supporting the arrogant woman's head, he let her sleep on the other side of his shoulder. The arrogant woman's face was covered in blood; she had given her all for tonight.

The wind howled, and countless streams of air poured out from the cracks in the dilapidated walls.

[169 Yang] has finally been completely absorbed.

Yuan raised its hand and murmured, "Don't you want me anymore?"

"Don't do such wicked things again," the dragon horse said to itself.

"But it adds to your life."

"It's useless. Even if I manage to survive to the end, without my closest relatives and friends, life is meaningless."

The dragon-horse's eyes were dull.

Yuan did not speak again.

It watched as the red threads on everyone's bodies grew thicker and thicker, drawing it in with its instincts. It could reach out and pull all the red threads off everyone.

But it made no move, only silently watching them as the red lines multiplied, like a red tide engulfing them.

The turmoil has subsided.

……

"Type 7 explosive missile, test normal, missile silo launch normal, countdown in progress!"

"5."

……

"emission!"

laugh--

The intensely burning fuel propelled the missile into the air, leaving a brilliant trail of flame against the dark blue night sky.

Upon receiving the news, the search and rescue team quickly distanced themselves from the burning opera house.

……

The energy reaction of "[16 Yang Jiu]" disappears.

Jin Ziyue immediately fired a signal flare.

It was a flash of light, and Fujiwara Chizuru, who was already nearsighted, was instantly covered by the unexpected light curtain.

During her brief period of blindness, she felt a tightness in her collar as a hand grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up like a cat.

"Hey!" The policewoman didn't even have time to scream before she was swallowed up by the light screen.

……

The missile fell vertically, like a pile driver hammering down.

The opera house, like an expanding cake, suddenly grew larger within the curtain of light, and the orange-red flames spread out like a ripple. Before we could even see it shatter and scatter, all the architectural fragments melted away in the flames.

Then came the deafening explosion.

"boom--"

Thick smoke billowed, and a huge mushroom cloud rose from the flames.

"The high-energy reaction has disappeared." The people in the monitoring room were overjoyed as they watched the disappearing point of light.

"The arrogant pronouncement has disappeared."

"Excellent!" The chief researcher slammed his fist on the table. "What did the Red Star CEO say?"

"The Royal Guard has been dispatched, equipped with energy harvesting devices. We will take down that monster before it finds a host."

"Brilliant!" The chief researcher's eyes gleamed. "A 500-year-old behemoth is much more interesting to study!"

They stared at the screen; there were no more drones, only radar for reconnaissance. Watching the red dot slowly fade away, they felt an indescribable sense of relief.

The fire at the opera house continued to burn, with stray sparks flying everywhere. The high temperature melted the steel and concrete, and the explosion burned away all the ambition, obsession, life and death within.
