"In short, I still have to remind you that if you give up halfway, all your previous efforts will be wasted." Ishtar was silent for a moment: "But you probably can't go back now, your current condition is too bad."
Ishtar couldn't feel it, but Tokine was trembling all over.
In fact, Ishtar's selfish desire was for Tokine to help her fulfill her wish no matter what, whether it was a second chance or not. Ishtar did not want any other factors to interfere with her. This is why the Five Knights, although allied, were not friends who cared about each other.
Everyone has an obsession and fervor for their own desires, and their own desires are definitely greater than any friendship. If Shi Yin were to return to Yanlong Kingdom halfway now, Lulan would undoubtedly fall.
Ishtar is confident he can defeat Samael, but what if arrogance comes out?
Arrogance only says it won't stop humans from breaking rituals, but who says it won't intervene in other ways?
However, seeing Tokine like this, Ishtar still softened.
"Shiyin, let's release Changning and go to Yanlong Kingdom together." Ishtar held Shiyin in his arms and sighed softly, "Let's go back."
When Ishtar held Shion in his arms, he realized how thin Shion was. Holding her felt empty, and Ishtar's heart ached sharply.
"Ishtar, I'm in a bit of pain." Shion rested her head on Ishtar's shoulder, clutching her chest as it heaved violently. "Where's Helmod?"
“He’s on the moon.” Ishtar sensed something was wrong and touched Shiyin; her body was ice-cold.
Ishtar was taken aback. She pulled open Shion's clothes and found that a large area of Shion's chest had become transparent. It was a strange liquid, semi-transparent, emitting a colorful halo, rippling, and seemed somewhat unstable.
“Yes, on the moon…” Suddenly, Shion pushed Ishtar away and, to Ishtar’s astonishment, drew a short sword and stabbed it through Ishtar’s shoulder.
"Shiyin!?" Ishtar grabbed Shiyin's hand by the shoulder; Shiyin's blood splattered on her hand was surprisingly cold.
"Ishtar, cut away the corroded flesh from my chest wound!" Shi Yin's face was grim: "I have too many memories now, I can't quite suppress the doomsday horn."
Shi Yin: "This is the power that the Doomsday Horn gathers for the weapon."
“But this place is too close to the heart!” Ishtar was pale; she wasn’t a professional doctor.
"Then rip out your heart!" Shi Yin's face turned ashen, and bluish-red veins, or rather blood vessels, throbbed visibly on her neck.
"No need, just drill a hole in it." Helmod's voice suddenly came through. "Shiyin, turn on the projection of the artificial system."
[Artificial system Faemon awakening, initiating projection mode.]
[Phaethon detected that the host's vitality was too low, so he remotely sought help from Mr. Helmod. Please understand, Master.]
Right now, she wasn't in the mood to worry about these things. Shi Yin had thought about arrogantly giving Samael some of his power to deal with Lu Lan, but she didn't expect him to give her the Doomsday Horn directly.
The Doomsday Horn is essentially a summons for zombies. It is because of the Doomsday Horn that Shi Yin has always been wary of Arrogance. After all, superhumans and zombies share the same origin. If the Doomsday Horn is smashed and activated with full force, it is very likely that the superhuman will be directly assimilated into a zombie.
Each of the seven deadly sins in the new world has a doomsday horn, which is its own crystal core. Pride dug out all the crystal cores and gave them to Samael.
No wonder Samael so easily relinquished the fully liberated ritual power to Leviathan; it turns out he had found something better.
[First, simply use normal force to penetrate the old wound. While the new force covering the corrosive force widens the wound, it heals more easily.] Helmod offered a solution. [Then there's bad news.]
There's no signal on Earth.
"No signal? How is that possible?" Ishtar was puzzled. She picked up her phone and checked it. She could access the internet without any problem, and all kinds of social media apps were displayed normally after refreshing. In fact, the signal was even full.
That's true, but I can't get through on the phone or send text messages, otherwise I wouldn't be able to connect to Phaethon.
[I was already wondering why no one answered my calls, and then the human operator suddenly connected me, and that's when I realized something might have happened.]
[Shiyin, I know you've always had your own ideas, but shouldn't you at least give me an explanation for this? It's not fair for us to keep you in the dark and use you as a pawn.]
Helmod was talking about reasonable demands. Ishtar also looked at Shiyin. A lot had happened in the past two days, catching them off guard.
However, Ishtar treated Tokine's wounds first.
Shi Yin's injury is too severe. The attack, powered by the Doomsday Horn, is difficult to heal. If it is not treated in time, it may really cause problems.
"It doesn't affect the plan, though I had some suspicions about this unexpected situation." Once the wound was treated, Shi Yin's complexion improved considerably: "It's not that Earth has no signal, but rather that there's a problem with the abilities of those with special abilities related to signal types."
"Because the extraction of energy by humans has greatly decreased in the post-apocalyptic world, the supply of some energy is basically provided by people with similar superpowers. Since the signal on the electronic device is showing no problem, but the signal is actually not working, it means that there is a problem with the superpowers who are dealing with the signal."
“Speaking of which, you just said the power that hurt you was the Horn of Doom. I remember that isn’t that the core power of each of the Seven Deadly Sins?” Ishtar asked curiously, “Pride gave its Horn of Doom to Samael, but what about itself?”
Without the Doomsday Horn, the Seven Deadly Sins probably wouldn't even reach the world level. Even if Pride is special, it would be difficult for it to contend with Time Sound without the Doomsday Horn.
Could it be that Arrogance deliberately gave the Doomsday Horn to Samael so that he could injure or even kill Shi Yin, thus relieving his own pressure? Perhaps this time the target isn't Lu Lan, but Shi Yin?
Ishtar looked at Shion with a complicated expression.
"You've been hiding, haven't you? You were injured by me, so it's impossible for you to come out and fight so quickly." Shi Yin wasn't surprised at all, but she was puzzled by Ishtar's glare: "What's wrong?"
Why are you looking at me like that?
"Hmm, I'm a little curious. What are you planning?" Ishtar rested her chin on her hand, seemingly lost in thought. "What about Changning?"
“There’s no plan… Changning has only temporarily merged with the plant and hasn’t died.” Shi Yin thought for a moment: “Samael is very good at fog warfare. The original plan was to send Helmod the coordinates after finding Samael’s main body, and then launch heavy artillery from the moon.”
After so long in the apocalypse, the world's best scientists have been mobilized and gathered around two moons, all in the name of developing the most powerful weapon to deliver a fatal blow to the apocalypse at a critical moment, right?
After all, the moon is truly a pristine place, free from the apocalypse, zombies, and viruses.
If Earth were to truly perish, the Moon might still have a chance to fight back...
If this were on Earth, they would have been stabbed long ago. They know to stab the New World's labs, and the New World certainly knows to attack their technology, otherwise they wouldn't be causing trouble at the Doomsday Beacon every day.
