Chapter 714: Acting
In the dark night, in the vast desert of Buserit, a battle that should have ended started again after an accident, and it intensified.
"What on earth happened over there!?"
On the edge of the ancient city of Bastis, in a large oasis, on a small hill, Nephnis, dressed in a long robe, was anxiously looking at the camp where countless people had fallen to the ground and wailed everywhere. She said with a serious expression, recalling that the roar and vibration in the distant desert that should have subsided not long ago suddenly rose again. At this moment, she could not help but worry about the war in the distance.
"Is the battle going on Miss Dorothy's side?" Neveu said worriedly, looking into the distance.
…
In the desert far away from Bastetis, after receiving the blessing of some kind of mysterious external force, Amayaba burst out and grew again from the state of dying, and instantly transformed into a huge and terrifying monster.
Under the supply of spiritual energy like a torrent, the rapidly growing Amnyaba released large patches of green rust-iron fog directly to the entire earth through its body. These thick fungus fogs quickly spread out from Amnyaba as the center, and in an instant they had covered a large area of the earth, stretching for thousands of meters and hundreds of meters thick. Amnyaba's huge and ugly insect-shaped body hid in the thick fungus fog. While continuing to grow, it also relied on the fungus fog to avoid the continuous pouring of artillery fire from the sky and constantly launched counterattacks.
Evie, a holy steel ship, was suspended in the air at an altitude of three thousand meters, constantly using various fire channels on her body to bombard the center of the fungus mist diffused below. However, this time the weight of the fungus mist released by Amaya was dozens of times more than the previous release, creating a thick and wide fungus mist group. Therefore, Evie's powerful physical bombs with all kinds of effects began to take effect again. For a while, she could only rely on energy bombs for firepower output, which was completely unable to cause fatal damage to Amaya. And because the fungus mist was released directly by Amaya's body instead of being released by flying insects, Dorothy's spiritual silk could hardly suppress the spread of the fungus mist this time.
As its size gradually grew, Amaya slowly lost its previous high-speed and agile way of moving. Now it could only stop in the fog and suffer continuous attacks. Fortunately, Evi's firepower was severely restricted by the fungus fog at this time, and Amaya's own body size had also grown to the point where it was extremely difficult to destroy it in one breath. Combined with its current terrifying regeneration speed, Evi, who could only use energy bullets to shoot, could only limit Amaya's growth at most, but could not completely destroy it.
Amidst continuous roars, countless light bullets poured down from the suspended steel giant ship and penetrated into the thick green fog. Under the guidance of the biological radar, they accurately bombarded the fat and huge strange insect body, splashing countless thick juices. The strange insect body with a human face was howling and twisting, excreting countless insect eggs, and shooting sharp keratinous substances from the dense openings of its body.
The eggs released by Amayaba or the eggs were flying explosive insects with huge wings dragging bacterial venom sacs, flying out of the fungus mist towards Evie, or the eggs were beetles with keratin launchers, firing spiked keratin arrows with pure muscle power, stabbing into the sky at a height of 3,000 meters. Facing these continuous attacks launched from the green mist, Evie's close defense system was able to intercept them all. However, due to the continuous growth of Amayaba, the number of insects released from its eggs and the keratin arrows it fired was increasing, and the scale of its firepower projection was getting larger and larger. As time passed, Evie's defense would sooner or later be under pressure.
"No... This guy has too much spiritual power, it's almost endless... I can't completely suppress its growth. If I continue like this, the situation will be out of control sooner or later..."
Suspended in mid-air, Evie's virtual image said with a serious expression that now she and Amayaba were almost in a stalemate. Although Evie still had the upper hand on the field and Amayaba was suppressed, as long as Amayaba's continuous and huge spiritual support was still there, such an advantage would be reversed sooner or later.
"The source of Amyaba's spiritual energy is the people in Buserit who have been infected with the plague of exhaustion. It seems that the main purpose of creating this plague is to widely absorb spiritual energy from ordinary people... Now the symptoms of people suffering from the plague in Bastis have worsened. It is estimated that this guy has increased the degree of extraction of spiritual energy from patients." Not far from Evey's virtual image, Dorothy's floating corpse talked to her, and Evey couldn't help but speak more seriously after listening to Dorothy's words.
"In that case, this monster must have millions of spiritual reserves. If we only talk about consumption, we can never out-consume it."
"Yes, judging from the current situation, if we want to solve it now, we must first solve the plague..." Dorothy's corpse said in a deep voice. After she finished speaking, Dorothy and Evie were silent for a while, and the whole atmosphere fell into a dull mood.
Dorothy and Evie's main purpose in targeting Amyoba this time was to capture her and torture her to find out the method to cure the plague. However, the current situation tells them that if they want to deal with Amyoba, they need to deal with the plague first. The whole thing has suddenly become upside down, making them extremely difficult to deal with for a while.
"Do you have any other ideas? This was once the homeland of the First Dynasty. You have inherited the ancient power. Do you have any ideas to reverse the current situation?"
Evey asked Dorothy's corpse again with a solemn look, with her ability, it was impossible to cure the plague, she could only place her hope on the magical and ancient "Qi" heritage.
Listening to Evie's words, Dorothy was silent for a while, and after seeming to think it over again and again, she let the corpse doll speak slowly.
"Well... there is a way, but it is very risky."
"Risk? Do we need to implement any dangerous combat plan?" Evie asked curiously after listening to the corpse's words, while Dorothy responded by letting the corpse shake its head slightly.
"No...it's not us who are at risk, it's Vanya."
"Sister Vanya..." Evie showed a look of surprise after hearing the corpse's words, and then immediately spoke.
"What risk? What kind of risk do you need Sister Vanya to take in order to solve the problem?"
"An experiment. We need Vanya to conduct an experiment. If this experiment is successful, the current predicament we are facing will be solved. However, this experiment has certain risks. Perhaps you have some way to reduce the risks..." Dorothy said this, and then continued to let the zombie tell Evie the content of the experiment. The more Evie listened, the more solemn his expression became.
"This kind of experiment... the risks are totally uncontrollable. No, Sister Vanya cannot participate. My mission is to assist Sister Vanya in completing the promotion mission. If she fails in this mission in Buserit, she can just move to another place. There is no need to let her take this risk here."
After listening to the content of the experiment, Evey said seriously, and Dorothy let her corpse nod in response.
"You are right, Sister Evi. Sister Vanya is also an important friend to us. We do not intend to let her take such a risk. Since you have no way to assist this experiment, we can only give up."
Dorothy told the corpse this. The reason she told the content of the experiment was that she wanted to see if Evie could find some help to reduce the risk probability. If not, she would have to give up.
Judging from the current situation, Dorothy plans to temporarily give up the fight with the Elders for Buserit, let Evie and Vanya abandon this place and withdraw, and stay alone to lurk in the virtual world and concentrate on studying ways to find Heopolis. Anyway, the Elders don't know where the virtual world is, so it is safe for her to stay here alone.
Facing Amaya, which had the spiritual power of a million people, Dorothy had already begun to think about a safe retreat plan. At this moment, Vanya, who was in the giant steel ship in the sky, suddenly spoke.
"Please wait a moment! Sister Evi, the messenger of the divine master... Please wait a moment, I am willing to conduct this experiment!"
When Vanya said this, Dorothy and Evie both heard it, and they both showed surprise on their faces.
"Sister Vanya, how did you hear our conversation?" Dorothy first asked Vanya using the corpse doll. Dorothy remembered that she had not conveyed the content of the experiment to Vanya through the information channel.
"Um... I'm sorry to hear your conversation, but this was also an unintentional act on my part. The blessing bestowed upon me by the divine master is very powerful, and combined with the temple of Sister Evi, it is difficult for me to not know some things..."
Vanya said with a hint of apology in her tone. In order to allow Vanya to have a more detailed insight into the battlefield, Dorothy directly gave her a strong computing power. Vanya could detect all life forms within tens of kilometers, big and small, with the help of Evie's temple, and Dorothy's computing power allowed Vanya to observe and monitor every life form, including adults and animals, small insects and bacteria, in detail, thus gaining a super strong ability to detect life dynamics.
The blessing bestowed upon Vanya by the Temple of Evi and Dorothy's computing power, even enabled her to observe and understand the movements of Dorothy's corpse's mouth, and to read Dorothy's corpse's words by lip reading. Although Vanya did not understand lip reading, she could calculate the content of the conversation, and this did not require her to expend any energy, and it happened almost naturally.
"Sister Vanya, you said you wanted to conduct this experiment?"
Evie, who was floating on the other side, spoke seriously, showing concern for what Vanya had just said, and Vanya answered in the affirmative.
"Yes... Sister Evie, I really want to conduct this experiment. Although we can run away, the millions of people suffering from the plague in Buserit cannot run away. I can't just sit back and watch them!" Evie said firmly, and Dorothy also spoke bluntly while controlling the corpse doll.
"Sister Vanya... your path to ascension does not have to be in Buserit. There are people in need everywhere in this world. Just perform your ceremony somewhere else. There is no need to take this risk here."
"Yeah... If it's a promotion ceremony, I can definitely go to another place, but if I can't save the person in front of me when I have the chance, how can I feel at ease to save other people?" Vanya said seriously. At this moment, she could truly feel the pain of countless people who were suffering from illness in Bastis. In order to cure this plague, she had given up hundreds and thousands of people, but she couldn't give up millions of people to escape the plague itself.
"Sister Vanya, you have to understand that you don't have to take such a risk to become a red-blooded person..." At this time, Evie continued to talk to Vanya, but Vanya still showed no intention of being persuaded.
"Sister Evi... I think the holy path I'm learning means the path of salvation... Salvation is the purpose of promotion, not the means of promotion. If I have the opportunity to save the millions of people right now but don't save them, then what's the point of this promotion?"
Vanya said firmly. After hearing her words, Evie paused for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said nothing. Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then used the information channel to speak secretly to Vanya.
"Vanya, are you serious? The risks involved are no joke."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, Miss Dorothea. Things have come to this point. I won't abandon so many people who need to be saved..."
Vanya also responded firmly to Dorothy through the information channel, and at this time Evie, who had been silent, also spoke.
"I understand. Since it is your choice, Sister Vanya, I will not stop you. In my warehouse, there are some emergency medical maintenance devices and precious extraordinary drugs, as well as an altar that can be used as a portable temple ceremony site. If you take them with you, it should be of great help to the experiment..." Evie sighed and then spoke again. Hearing her words, Dorothy said to the corpse in surprise.
"Medicines... maintenance devices... portable temple ritual site? These things can undoubtedly greatly reduce the risks of the experiment. Why didn't you say that just now?"
