Why can't humans do it too?

"To be honest, I thought you would let Ronnie come in here too," Suer's hazy gaze swept over this all-too-familiar home, imprinting it all firmly in his mind. He knew that this was probably the last time he would see such a familiar place with his own eyes.

After leaving the little world created by Okan.

“That’s not something he should know right now,” Okan said with a grin. “Ronnie’s future is his own to decide, and I don’t need to interfere.”

"...Pfft, that's a perfect fatherly answer," Suer couldn't help but laugh. "No wonder..."

Perhaps only such an interesting species of deity could create such an interesting race as the goblins, treating an entire race as the father of their child.

The brief, impromptu banquet seemed to be drawing to a close. Okan had obtained what interested him from Sur, and his spirits were high for the day.

"Hahahaha, isn't this the obvious thing?" Okan laughed fiercely, as if a raging fire had broken out, and stood up from his chair.

The entire room gradually blurred as he spoke, distorting like air steaming from flames. His gentlemanly attire had vanished, but when Suer squinted to try and see him again, he was inexplicably separated by invisible bubbles.

Chapter 83 The Resurrected City

It was completely impossible to see clearly, just as the saying goes, mortals cannot look directly at the true appearance of gods. In fact, what was gradually fading away was not only Okan's figure and voice, but also Sul's consciousness.

Returning from a world reflected in a mirror.

Amidst the magnificent, shimmering bubbles, in this unforgettable haze, Sull could see more and more clearly only Okan's bright and undeniable eyes.

"The world doesn't matter at all. Just like the humans in your world, dig, smash, dissolve, use everything that can be used, and then head to the unknown beyond the stars... Is there anything better than that?! Hahahaha!"

The heaven-reaching, earth-shattering divine furnace spewed forth flames as brilliant as fireworks, emitting terrifying heat, surging along with the increasingly distant, exhilarating laughter. This was the magnificent scene that Su'er saw when he broke through that membrane, overlapping with reality.

"Hey!!" Not wanting to miss out on anything, or perhaps wanting to truly gain and leave something behind, just as he was about to leave this briefly created little world, Su'er couldn't help but shout at the receding figure with all his might, "Okan!!! How can we obtain the power that allows humanity to stand tall and survive in such a great war!?"

The doubts, almost devoid of hope, ultimately stem from a sense of resentment.

Amidst the flowing flames that illuminated the dark underground city, which was filled with elven light, Sull finally heard the reply that seemed to come from the other side of the world at the last moment.

Let's go to the islands in the east...

Perhaps...the answer lies there...

Then, everything returned to darkness.

--------------

The sound of whistling wind gradually reached his ears, and the chaotic airflow covered Suer's mouth and nose, making it difficult for him to breathe fresh air.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, as if he had straightened up from underwater. The faint sounds seemed to amplify out of nowhere. Suer didn't even have time to react until he felt a tearing pain in his fingers.

He was still falling.

His hand was still gripping the steel pipe that hadn't yet detached from the divine essence. He even tumbled through the air as the inactive divine essence crashed into various buildings during his descent, luckily avoiding the debris that would have sliced ​​him to pieces if it had only grazed him slightly.

The memory of his meeting with Okan remained vivid in his mind, and even the pain in his back that had disappeared was a clear reminder that everything that had happened before was not a dream.

The only problem is—why didn't you, Okan, just drop him off next to the submarine when you sent him and Xinke out?!

Are they really just sending them back to where they were brought in?!

Tears welled up in her eyes from the intense wind, and Suer turned her head to look around for Xin Ke.

Right next to him.

As if still immersed in a dream, the forest elf with light golden hair was still gently falling with gravity, her eyes lightly closed, her relaxed arms swinging freely in the wind.

"Xin Ke!!!" Su Er couldn't hold back any longer. He shouted at the forest elves, not knowing if his voice could carry.

"Ah~, are you finally starting to get anxious?" Even though it was in the air rushing by, Xin Ke's voice reached Su Er's ears clearly and accurately.

The next moment, Xin Ke suddenly opened her eyes, and with a slight movement in the air, she moved to Su Er's side and grabbed his hand.

"Let go."

The moment Xin Ke spoke, Su Er obediently released his grip on the steel pipe, swaying like a kite, relying entirely on Xin Ke's hand to keep him from being thrown off and smashed into pieces against the surrounding steel walls. But this was not the end.

With a light step, Xin Ke casually turned her head to dodge the beam of light fired by the pursuing goblin, then squatted down and pressed one hand firmly on the surface of the divine marrow.

The overlapping, emerald-green magic circles exploded out like an avalanche. Just looking at them, one could not doubt the power they represented. The enormous elves were gathering, and even the goblins who flew up from the lower levels changed their expressions and hurriedly avoided the presence of the two people.

Like layers of pastries wrapped around a giant elf, the magic drawn by Xin Ke intertwined with each other, transforming into the most complex spider web that completely entangled the surface of the divine essence.

"Hurry up, Mr. Monkey!" Standing up straight again, Xin Ke looked up at the goblin still floating in mid-air, its face cold as it stared at her and Suer, and said with a smile, "Your only chance to survive is now!"

Gathering its strength, in the next moment, Xin Ke, carrying Su Er, soared into the sky like an arrow, without any obstruction. Even the goblins returning from below were the first to try and intercept it, which was still the inactive divine essence that was densely wrapped in the magic of the forest elves.

Ronnie is still up there.

For them, that reason is enough.

A man trusted by his entire race.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

This speed definitely exceeded the speed of sound. Su Er screamed instinctively. The surrounding environment had been distorted and transformed into a bizarre world. He subconsciously hugged Xin Ke tightly, but this time Xin Ke did not disgustedly throw him aside.

Boom! ! !

Holding the lightsaber constructed by the elves, they clashed with the blade that Ronnie had slashed down. There was no exchange of words, but both Xinke and Ronnie knew clearly that the hastily made spirit armor in Ronnie's hands was no match for Xinke's departure.

Ronnie will have to swallow the fact that he witnessed the forest elves fleeing from their lair.

Such a predictable outcome would not bring Ronnie any comfort, but would only fuel his anger.

"Get down...!"

They had completely given up on post-war reconstruction. Even the steel city was trembling and deforming. The steel sky covering the heavens was spreading, and different buildings were twisting and knotting. A pair of enormous steel hands, their surfaces shimmering with yellow light, converged into the air with a whooshing sound, as if to trap the small figures of Suer and Xinke directly in the arms of steel.

The sky was closing in, and countless iron nets, like fences, were growing on the earth, soaring into the sky. Even the air could not escape, and everything was imprisoned here.

Chapter 84 Escape

puff~

Like the sound of a full sack of flour being punctured, it didn't require the power to destroy the sky. Before the giant hands could close, Xin Ke, carrying Su Er, deftly pierced through the steel sky, rising from the sea of ​​clouds, leaving behind a trail of mocking elves.

This seemingly beautiful scene only fueled Ronnie's already burning rage. This most talented figure among the goblins in countless years had probably gone mad. As he brandished the spirit armor he had hastily forged, the giant hand constructed from countless goblin houses twisted and deformed its parts once again.

There was no time to pay much attention to the changes underfoot. Xin Ke, with Su Er, quickly leaped upwards from the footholds that still had supports. At the top of the goblin's central industrial area, the submarines that had been manufactured but not yet put into use were moored!

Whoosh! ! !

A whistle so sharp it hurt the ears, and even faster still was a stray arrow that flew upwards, almost grazing the two of them.

boom!

It was like an arrow that had pierced through a poor pigeon and pinned it to the wall, but this arrow was much larger. The sharp point that shot up from below Xinke and Suer pierced through the airships still parked in the industrial area and pinned them to the very edge of the earth.

It was so plain that it had no decorative patterns whatsoever, not even any superfluous structures, just a bunch of enlarged nails. But what was most terrifying was their sheer number. There wasn't just one; it seemed endless. As long as there was one building in the city, Ronnie's ammunition would never run out.

Exploding and falling from the sky, amidst the gray-black rain of steel spikes, Xin Ke could only pitifully dodge in the air like a bird. But the falling debris and explosions above her constantly reminded her of the urgency of the situation—Ronnie's target was no longer her and Su Er, but those ships that had not yet been put into use.

Not only could they dodge, but they also had to actively block the giant steel spikes aimed at the submarine. The magical light barrier that Xin Ke had deployed was immediately struck by light spots, which were chaotic and disorganized, just like the sound of a rhythm game being hit.

She couldn't hold out for long. Just from Xin Ke's subconsciously biting her lower lip tightly, it was clear that blocking so many dense attacks was a huge burden for her. Her elves weren't infinite either, but Ronnie, who had completely stopped considering the losses and only wanted to leave this forest elf here, had no scruples. There were no more goblins left in the entire upper district, so rebuilding the buildings later was fine no matter what.

The initial plan to lure the moles to the lower level and then escape from the top revealed its flaws.

Snap.

A crisp sound, like the pleasant sound of glass shattering.

"Pfft!" Xin Ke's body twitched, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. The light barrier below also flickered violently, as if it would be completely annihilated in the next second.

When Suer looked over in alarm, he saw a thin steel rod inserted into Xinke's lower abdomen. It was a gift that Ronnie had prepared for Xinke, hidden in this rain of steel—sharp, delicate, yet powerful enough to penetrate.

The steel rod that struck his abdomen propelled him rapidly upwards, bringing him closer to the submarine.

That place... as long as I can get there!!

"Cough cough cough... Pfft!" Glancing at the increasingly frequent flashing and dimming magical light barrier below as she left, Xin Ke grasped the steel rod inserted into her lower abdomen with her free hand, then gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled it out with force.

This ruthlessness towards himself and the perseverance to endure pain truly made Su Er's hair stand on end. He watched as Xin Ke coughed up blood again because of such violent movements, casually tossing the steel rod aside. Green light gathered in Xin Ke's palm and pressed it onto the hollow hole.

The rain of steel had stopped sometime earlier, and the world fell eerily quiet for a moment, until the light barrier shattered like powder and flew upwards.

With a single sword strike, Ronnie cleaved through the fragile defense. He raised his greatsword high and charged upwards, about to cut Xin Ke and Su Er in two. But just as this tragic scene was about to unfold, a dark gray light struck Ronnie from below even faster!

It's that steel rod.

The steel rod that Xin Ke casually tossed aside, seemingly completely ignored, suddenly returned at a speed that cut through the air, striking the unsuspecting Ronnie directly in the back and passing right through his chest!

Time seemed to slow down. Xin Ke even curled her lips into a mocking smile, gently stepping her outstretched foot onto Ronnie's shoulder. Using this stepping stone, she made one last leap into the air and flew towards the submarine.

His already crimson eyes now burned like flames, but Ronnie continued to fall, falling helplessly from the sky to the ground.

Unable to speak, the injury to his chest temporarily robbed him of his ability to speak. Even opening his mouth caused blood and foam to come out. Ronnie could only try his best to slowly pull the steel rod out of his chest with his trembling right hand.

Transforming, shrinking, forging, creating with his own sensibility, Ronnie's burning gaze was fixed on the forest elf wearing a tattered cloak. He could even see the mocking look left behind by the forest elf as it turned back, about to successfully escape.

Unable to bear it, unable to accept it, a hissing sound escaped his throat. Ronnie gripped his last creation, the perfect farewell gift for the forest elf, brimming with the city's warm hospitality.

Then, with all his might, he threw it out with all his might!

Even the air became thicker, and under the influence of gravity and this tangible reaction force, Ronnie's falling speed increased, but he was already satisfied.

At the edge of his vision, Ronnie watched with satisfaction as the gift he had thrown, imbued with his heart, traced a perfect arc through the air and struck the exposed ankle of the forest elf. It was the perfect angle and force that his intuition told him, and that it was bound to happen.

The submarine's hatch was closed. After a slight tremor, it landed on the soil at the outermost edge of the city, then merged into it like a fish falling into water, disappearing after parting the earth 10,000 meters below the surface.
