The Death Knell

Dealing with Zheng Xian is very tiring, but the roast duck tastes good.

Eating the crispy skin and noodle sauce again made Su Ming feel like it was a lifetime ago. Sure enough, the leader is the leader and has good taste. If Mo Du were asked to buy roast duck, he probably wouldn't be able to find such an authentic shop.

It was not a well-known old store. After coming out of the underground, Zheng Xian drove him around the alleys. The final destination was a courtyard house that looked like a private house without even a store name.

This is probably the prototype of the so-called ‘private kitchen’, right?

After three rounds of drinking, Zheng Xian brought up business again. He put down the small glass and licked his lips:

"Mr. Wilson was unwilling to talk about the Holy Shield in front of my subordinates before, but what is the taboo?"

Su Ming was putting green onion dipping sauce on the pancake. This antique place is really nice: "Are you sure it's safe here?"

"It's natural. The masters here are all mutants. Didn't you notice that the roast duck is cooked very well?" Zheng Xian said lightly.

The implication is that he, Zheng Xian, is holding the other party's hand.

Okay, it turns out that it is not a hanging oven roast duck, but a fire element roast duck. No wonder...

So delicious.

Su Ming stuffed a roll into his mouth and chewed it a few times: "I was worried that your men were too young and couldn't bear the impact of reality."

"Oh? Why did Mr. Wilson say that?"

"The Holy Shield Brotherhood intends to destroy the world, or is already halfway to destroying the world. Do you believe it?"

"What...hehe, sir, please stop joking. The fact that you found us here means that you also know our details. Holy Shield and Holy Spear are from the same family. Although there are some dirty things, they have the same goal, which is to protect us." It exists for the earth.”

Zheng Xian was stunned for a moment at first, but soon he started talking to himself easily.

"It's not a joke. Not only do I know your origins, I also know about the alien species." Su Ming picked up another piece of spring cake, and the two of them ordered four ducks in total. Zheng Xian didn't move his chopsticks very much. How can you eat it after it gets cold?

When Zheng Xian heard this statement, his expression became serious. This person mentioned alien species, which meant that he was in big trouble.

Although the Holy Spear Club's policy has always been to 'sweep the snow in front of your own house and don't care about the frost on other people's tiles', now that the demolition brigade is here, it's really hard to ignore it anymore.

Zheng Xian pondered for a moment, maybe because he was lucky, maybe because he was afraid that Su Ming would deceive him, he smiled and asked: "Then can you tell me about the alien species you know about?"

Su Ming picked up a few pieces of duck skin, dipped it in some sauce, looked at Zheng Xian's narrowed eyes, and smiled slightly: "Why not?"

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

Han Dynasty, Luoyang.

The autumn wind was bleak, the grass and trees were withered, and two figures walked down the long stone steps under the fallen leaves. They were both wearing bright armor and looked extraordinary.

The leader was dressed in red clothes and armor, with long hair hanging down his shoulders. It was Zhang Heng.

The man behind him followed suit, holding a golden spear in his hand. The spear was about eight feet long, with blades at both ends. The blade was like an eagle's wings, and the barrel was wrapped with white gauze.

While walking forward, the leader gave instructions to the followers behind him.

"If I fail in this trip, you should inherit this spear and get rid of the monster."

The general behind him frowned when he heard this, and held the spear in front of his eyes: "Sir, I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but I have observed it carefully, but it is just a wooden pole combined with an iron blade. According to legend, it has boundless divine power... ....”

Zhang Heng flicked the long beard on his chest and said calmly: "The so-called divine weapon has been like this since ancient times. Its shield resides in the west, while its spear exists in the east. You need to be firm in your heart before you can give it the divine power it deserves."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived in front of a magnificent building. This building towered into the clouds and was an ingenious workmanship. It was a five-hundred-story pavilion.

It is called the ‘Great Building’ and is a high platform used to converse with the gods.

"Sir, will this attempt really work?" the young general asked again, because at this time Zhang Heng had already begun to prepare to climb the stairs.

Zhang Heng smiled and said: "I have to do this, our world should not end like this."

After saying that, he lifted up his clothes and started climbing, leaving only the general holding the spear waiting in place, with worry written on his face.

The tall buildings with hundreds of floors are so majestic, and Zhang Heng is also very ordinary because of his successful Taoism.

The wind howled as he passed through the clouds. Not long after, the tall building was trampled under his feet. Even the mountains in the distance bowed their heads at this moment.

But in front of Zhang Heng, these were not the only things. There was also a huge figure standing quietly among the birds.

Even after stepping onto a five-hundred-story building, Zhang Heng could still only reach the opponent's shoulders.

It was a golden giant, its whole body made of metal, as if the mountains had come to life, and its three glowing red eyes were like the sun.

Behind it, Zhang Heng could see that half of Luoyang City had been destroyed, and even the green mountains in the distance now had ravines left.

He faced the strong wind, ignored the giant hand stretched out to capture him, and shouted loudly.

"Hey! Goddess of Heaven, your majesty impresses us. The hope that shines all around you is like driving away the scorching sun on a winter night. You shine on mankind. Why do you want to harm us now?!"

The dragon-like forelimbs stopped, and the strong wind stopped on top of Zhang Heng's head.

A member of the God Group stopped moving forward. It retracted its big hand, and like Zhang Heng, floated cross-legged. A thunderous voice resounded throughout the city: "Humans must make choices/decisions/sacrifice."

"Please let the goddess clarify!" Zhang Heng sat down calmly and calmly. He was relieved that the other party was able to communicate.

At least there was hope of being able to save the earth. He naturally understood what the Celestial Group was.

The god answered him, and he could speak his mind, for he was invincible.

"In the center of this planet/world, there is a dormant egg/fetus of a god. In the future, this egg/fetus will hatch/give birth to a god, and with the new hunger, it will consume/devour this planet/world , this is the purpose/method of my trip.”

After the words fell, everything was silent, and only the sound of air flowing was left in Zhang Heng's ears.

He thought for a moment, twirled his beard, and replied loudly: "If you want to take it away, I will be happy to do it."

The three giant red eyes of the god emitted strong light, and the metal on its body began to move and deform, as if a huge instrument was opened, revealing its precise structure.

"No, you misunderstood me, I explain. So far, all the gods have been born inside the planet, and I carry within me a new/unique/forbidden structure, replication/reproduction is coming, and I have a child inside me. "

At the same time, its abdominal armor bloomed like a lotus, revealing something deeper.

It is a special existence composed of metal, flesh and blood, energy, light, and a large number of indiscernible laws of chaos. A nebula, or rather a ball of red energy, was rolling in front of Zhang Heng's eyes, but human wisdom could not understand its nature and why it existed.

After the display, it closed its abdominal cavity, and the huge metal head approached Zhang Heng: "This process will eventually consume/destroy me, and I will pay the price of this move... But for now, I need food, because of this The process has begun. Devour your planet, consume all living things, provide me with energy, and apocalyptic chaos will ensue."

This is the way the gods think. It goes through a necessary process and pays a price for it. But the earth is not even a price, it is just food.

Hearing this, Zhang Heng stood up and smiled.

"What the Goddess is doing is so magnificent, but please allow me a word." As he said, he stretched out his arms above his head and pointed his finger at the sun: "Goddess, please see, this is the source of our life, and there is a corresponding The nutrients provided by the star can provide energy to the child of the star, and its energy is ten thousand times greater than that of the earth. If you devote yourself to it, you can also make the fetus stronger, isn't it wonderful?"

The god raised his head and looked directly at the star. He was silent for a long time and calculated for it. After a while, it soared into the sky and left a roar.

"Proposed to be adopted."

The huge black shadow flew higher and higher, and then sank into the sun like a moth to a flame, splashing out a fire...

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

Zheng Xian drank all the Maotai in the wine glass, then squinted and poured it for both of them: "I really didn't know that as a foreigner, you can also speak storytelling."

Su Ming touched his beard and picked up the wine glass: "Not to mention storytelling, I can also do crosstalk, but it is meaningless for you to explore my identity. The problem now is that the alien species is about to hatch."

"The alien species of the God Group..." Even Zheng Xian is now one of the top two: "Teacher really left me a big trouble. He kicked off his legs and it was a pleasure. Now he has a headache. It’s me.”

"The mother body originally planned to eat the earth, but Zhang Heng tricked it into eating the sun. But now after the larva hatches, it has no ability to convert stellar energy and can only eat planets. I guess there are so many creatures on the earth, so it should have more taste. Well, it’s like a snack sprinkled with sesame seeds.”

Su Ming also told some of his comic memories, and he knew that someone in the Holy Shield Brotherhood planned to give the earth to the gods to eat.

Because that person saw the end of time, he believed that the end was inevitable. Instead of struggling in vain, it was better to enter the end directly and rebuild the world.

The first step is to weaken the earth's defense power, otherwise the young god will not be able to bite the bullet and provoke an all-out war between vampires and aliens, killing all living things including humans at once.

Of course, this is just speculation. Whether reality and the comic plot can match up is another matter. But don’t you see that Zheng Xian already believes it?

Zheng Xian smiled bitterly. Since this matter happened because of the teacher, he himself had to repay the debt. The Supreme Mage knew all this, so it was impossible to deceive him even if he wanted to.

He picked up the wine glass and touched one with Su Ming: "Our earth is like a purple potato stuffed dough to many beings. The Celestials, the Planet Devourers, and the Annihilation Zerg, all of them want to take a bite of us."

When the glass of wine was dry, Su Ming clenched his teeth and made a tsk sound: "I thought it was filled with assorted stuffing."

Zheng Xian shook his head and said pointedly: "Chaos is deep red, and the chaotic doomsday is deep purple. It is the color of death mixed with flames."

"I have heard a little bit that it originally took one million years for alien species to hatch, but Zhang Heng's proposal shortened the hatching time to 1,700 years. Am I right?"

Su Ming rolled up the duck again. He couldn't just eat it by himself, he had to feed him some secretly.

Zheng Xian understood that this was the fault left by the teacher. He closed his eyes and sighed, what else could he do? The Supreme Master said it word for word...

"I see."
