Chapter 199 Trust (Part 1) Falling to Death
The moment the window glass cracked, Chu Xiuyan made a prompt decision, holding Chu Li's arm with one hand and Xuan Wu's collar with the other, and rushed deeper into the room.
Xuan Wu was caught off guard and staggered, "Hey Yun Yan, what are you doing——"
The next second, a light crackling sound suddenly occurred?
Xuan Wu turned his head suddenly and stopped talking. In his gradually widening pupils, he saw a window glass covered with cracks like a spider web.
Chu Li, who was also being dragged, was exceptionally quiet. He raised his eyes slightly, and through the cracked glass, he took in the blurry scene of the outside world that had quietly stagnated at some point. His expression did not change at all, as if he had expected it.
Suddenly, accompanied by a sharp crisp sound, the glass shattered suddenly, and a terrifying airflow roared into the room like a ferocious beast. Countless tiny glass fragments flew all over the sky, mixed with fluttering paper scraps, and rushed around the house, making a mess.
Chu Xiuyan was hit against the wall by the violent airflow, and his nose was hit? He covered his face with tears in his eyes? He looked to the side, "Brother Chu Li, Xuan Wu, my nose? It's so sour..."
His voice suddenly disappeared.
There was no one on either side.
Xuan Wu and Chu Li disappeared.
Chu Xiuyan snorted softly, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and faced the broken window where the terrifying airflow came from, and the expression on his face disappeared bit by bit.
Perhaps to be precise, it was not Chu Li and Xuan Wu who disappeared, but him.
Facing the terrifying airflow, Chu Xiuyan stepped on the corner of the overturned table and easily jumped out, landing on the ground outside.
The moment I looked up, a breeze blew and a blood-red mist came in front of me.
Chu Xiuyan gradually opened his eyes. In his blurry vision, he saw swaying and collapsing houses, broken roads, screaming and fleeing people, and blood everywhere. Everything was a terrifying scene that seemed like the end of the world.
A strong wind whistled past, mixed with dust and gravel. A thin rope was pressed in the cracks of the gravel. The deflated balloon swayed and finally deflated completely, lightly covering a bloody teddy bear.
“Help, help—”
"Child?! My child? Where is it?!"
"Calm down! Everyone calm down! Run to a wide area! Go to the square quickly!"
"God, please forgive our sins..."
.....
boom!
A huge, dark monster? fell from a great height? and landed heavily outside of Barbary's barrier?, causing? a strong tremor that led to the second disaster. Countless streets collapsed, thick dust billowed up?, and the fleeing people fell to the ground?, holding their heads in fear, looking up in disbelief at the three terrifying black shadows outside the barrier?.
I don't know when the deep-sea monsters appeared outside the Barbary barrier. They swam slowly around Barbary. Their scales with a faint scarlet sheen were not conspicuous in the dark sea water, but the oppressive feeling brought by their huge bodies was enough to make people completely collapse.
When Chu Xiuyan reached the rubble on a high ground, he heard a desperate wail from below.
"God, what did we do wrong to make you so determined to abandon us—"
"Mom, Mom, I don't want to die..."
"Hey, come and help me, my daughter is trapped under a rock!"
"Are you afraid? Are you afraid? Are you afraid? Are you afraid..."
.....
Chu Xiuyan took in all the horrific scenes. His brain seemed to go blank for a moment, and then he exhaled heavily, his nostrils filled with the pungent smell of blood and dust.
He said hoarsely, "Hey, can't you see? They are calling you, [Ocean]."
The sound of waves echoed in my ears.
"I saw it. What about you, Yunyan? Aren't you going to help?"
Chu Xiuyan groaned softly, but did not respond to the question. He lowered his eyes slightly, not daring to look at the scene below. He focused on the gravel at his feet and asked, "Where are the two people who were with me before?"
[Ocean] was patient and replied: "We are back at the Aletta Palace. Don't worry, I don't plan to attack them for the time being. I just hope we can have a separate space to have a good chat. So, Yunyan, seeing this desperate scene, don't you plan to do anything? Or... just watch from the sidelines?"
Chu Xiuyan remained surprisingly calm. "In that book, Barbary's Fall, it was mentioned that the disaster was some kind of infectious disease, but here it was the collapse of the city caused by an attack by a sea monster. [Ocean], have you tampered with the truth about Barbary's fall?"
Only the sound of waves echoed in my ears, and the ocean began to be silent.
Chu Xiuyan listened to the screams for too long, his patience was worn out bit by bit, and his irritation was getting stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but speak again: "Aren't you a god who loves people? Are you just going to let the people of Barbary die one after another?"
[Ocean] still didn't say anything. Chu Xiuyan had a vague premonition that the other party seemed to be hiding quietly in a corner nearby, observing his every move coldly.
"Lord Poseidon! Lord Poseidon!"
A childish voice sounded from behind, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Lord Poseidon! Have you seen Elena and the others? Mom is missing too? No! Lord Poseidon——"
A somewhat familiar voice.
Chu Xiuyan turned around subconsciously and saw a blonde girl trying to climb up a platform made of gravel. Her delicate skin was already covered with bloodstains and her dirty face was full of tears, but her blue eyes seemed to be filled with stars, bright and dazzling.
"Lord Poseidon! What are you daydreaming about? Come on, come down quickly and save us!"
She stumbled? crawled on the gravel, while trying hard? to reach out her hands to Chu Xiuyan?, her thin hands? belonging to a child? trembling in the air, but she was particularly? stubborn? and refused to let go.
"Lord Poseidon——"
Chu Xiuyan suddenly met those clear blue eyes. At that moment, a strange memory suddenly emerged in his mind.
Wreath, hand? The blonde girl holding the wreath, smiling brightly? Raising the wreath high?, a strange and blurred shadow is reflected in her blue eyes.
She was saying: 'Lord Poseidon, you...'
[Host! Calm down! Stay rational! Don't be impulsive! ]
Chu Xiuyan suddenly came back to his senses and found that he had taken a step forward without realizing it.
The system hurriedly reminded me in my mind, [Your divine pollution value is rising, the ocean god is trying to assimilate you! Calm down, think about Zhang Chun's words, don't be impulsive, believe them! ]
“.....”
Chu Xiuyan recalled Zhang Chun's calm words through the voice transmission snail at that time. The irritability and anxiety in his heart were forcibly suppressed. Then he slowly took back the foot he had stepped out and took a few steps back in the opposite direction of the blonde girl who was trying to climb up the gravel platform.
"Lord Poseidon..." The girl looked at him in disbelief. Her pale face was covered with bloodstains, and she looked extremely miserable and pitiful. However, she held on to her breath and refused to cry until she saw Chu Xiuyan retreat. Then, tears filled her eyes.
Chu Xiuyan avoided his gaze and said through gritted teeth: "[Ocean], you are such a despicable bastard."
This time, the Ocean responded.
"It seems that those humans have had a great influence on you."
'Then try another approach.'
Chu Xiuyan was stunned, "What...?!"
His breathing stopped instantly. The collapsed city in his vision gradually turned into a familiar outline, lush forests, lush trees, a ruined city with bright lights flashing in the drizzle, the A3 base headquarters where people were walking hurriedly, the steel cables hanging in the air, the back of a woman washing vegetables in the yard, and the figure who suddenly jumped out of the house and ran towards him——
boom!
The giant sea beast swimming around the Barbary barrier once again slammed into the barrier, and this time, the crisp crackling sound echoed in everyone's ears.
The powerful air current shattered countless roofs, and broken wood and stones scattered in all directions. Among them, a huge rock hit the direction of the blonde girl.
Chu Xiuyan's pupils shrank.
The blonde girl who ran towards him out of fear seemed to have another blurry shadow overlapping her at that moment.
Messy short hair, an awkward and arrogant look, and a familiar face that always looks at people with a pair of dead fish eyes and sneers...
“Brother Xiaoyun——!!!”
The system was horrified to see the black-haired boy who was standing there in a daze suddenly move, rushing under the rubble at an extremely fast speed, hugging the trembling blonde girl and rolling to the ground full of cracks, narrowly avoiding the rubble that fell from a high place.
The system's voice began to tremble, [Host?]
Chu Xiuyan knelt on one knee, holding the girl's hand. His arm was trembling slightly. He had regained consciousness, but after realizing what he had done, his pupils shrank a little bit.
"So that's how it is... It's because of such a ridiculous reason..."
He gritted his teeth and said word by word to the [Ocean] who was hiding somewhere, "You are indeed a despicable and shameless bastard!"
In response to this, the sound of the waves echoing in my ears became louder and louder, with faint laughter mixed in.
[Ocean] chuckled and said, "I told you, Yunyan, we are very similar... In order to protect the humans we love, we will do whatever it takes, regardless of the cost - Yunyan, humans are weak and need our protection. This is who we are. We are different from those other evil gods who are arrogant and despise humans. We are the same kind."
"So, Yunyan, give up becoming [Blood Mist]. You should have a premonition that that kind of power is extremely dangerous and can easily get out of control. But the power I can give you is different. You can even choose..."
"Shut up!"
The blonde girl was still trembling, and spoke softly in confusion: "Lord Poseidon?"
Chu Xiuyan slowly stood up and stopped talking to the Ocean. The screams continued in his ears, and his hair covered his eyes. He said to the girl, "I'm sorry, it wasn't the Sea God who saved you, but just a mere human."
The blonde girl's eyes widened. "Aren't you God?"
"I am not, I am not a god, I am just a human named Yunyan."
Chu Xiuyan walked forward. Under his feet were broken and collapsed streets, beside his feet were bloody limbs, above his head were falling fragments of the barrier, and rain was flowing down like a waterfall.
The tragic scene made his voice very soft, with a certain hoarseness and coldness.
"I know your purpose, Ocean. But unfortunately, just because you can't do it doesn't mean I can't do it." The black-haired boy's eyes were shining with an astonishing scarlet light. "I'm very strong, so no matter if it's Poseidon, Ole-God, or even Blood Mist, I don't have to choose... I will use my human identity to save these people."
The blonde girl raised her head, and the blurry shadow that she had never been able to see clearly in her memory seemed to have a clear outline.
"Cloud Flame...?"
She recited these two words slowly.
In the clear blue eyes, the thick gray fog gradually reflected the sky, gathering on the broken ground like waves, surging, spreading, carrying every painful and wailing human, condensing into huge black fog balls, and under the cold gaze of the three deep-sea monsters, rising little by little...
The blonde girl's pupils shrank, and she seemed to hear the boy holding her whispering vaguely.
"I'm sorry, uncle... I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself... From now on, I guess I'll have to leave it to you guys."
"I believe in you, I believe in you all, so——"
