Chapter 7018: Erosion
In the dark night, in a vast desert of Buserit, it was all blood red at this moment. The barren land, which was originally full of quicksand, had now changed into a hellish landscape with blood vessels all over, muscles undulating, and covered with countless eyes and mouths. In the breath of corruption, the horrible earth vomited out countless thick and deformed arms, which stretched out towards the sky to capture those targets who tried to fly away.
Facing the thousands of deformed giant hands that were rushing towards them crazily, even the steel battleships that were several meters long and had powerful firepower were unable to stop them for a while. When the shells were turned into sticky flesh and blood, and when the concentrated close-range defense system was completely unable to resist the wall of bloody fingers that was almost like a wall coming towards them, soon all parts of the steel giant ship were grabbed by the bloody deformed hands and forced to be pulled down under the tremendous force. Although Evie tried his best to activate the propulsion device to resist, he still could not completely offset the powerful traction brought by those arms, and the entire battleship still fell irreversibly towards the vast bright red land below.
"Shit... What on earth is this thing? Is it the gold of the afterbirth? Why did it suddenly appear here?"
Watching herself slowly falling into that disgusting land of flesh and blood, Evie's virtual image gritted her teeth and said very seriously, then she turned her head and saw a man in a robe next to her who continued to speak.
"We can't defeat this guy. I'll hold her back with all my strength here, and you take Sister Vanya first!" Evie said this while looking at Dorothy's corpse. At this moment, she had already discovered the gap in strength and realm between her and the other side. Not to mention that she could win, she might not be able to escape even if she tried.
Evie's huge steel body not only brought her strong and lasting firepower, but also made her a huge target. Her body was too big, so it was difficult for her to escape, so Evie took the initiative to choose to stay behind to cover the retreat, while Vanya and the others left first.
"Now is not the time to decide who will cover the rear. Perhaps we can escape together, Sister Evi. You should have seen some of our methods."
Facing Evie's virtual image, Dorothy controlled her own corpse and spoke bluntly, while Evie spoke anxiously.
"It's useless! I'm too big a target, I can't escape! I might as well buy time for you. Remember to send Sister Vanya to Holy Mountain. I will give you a token so that the people in Holy Mountain will believe what you say!" Evie continued to talk to Dorothy's corpse. After hearing these words, Dorothy's corpse paused slightly, and then slowly responded.
"Do you... have a component similar to a mind core?"
"What? Mind what...?"
"The mind core... probably consciousness is the decision-making module of this battleship body of yours. Your brain can't be the key part of an entire battleship. Captains of ordinary battleships can abandon ship. You are so advanced, it's impossible that you don't have a mind core that can escape and avoid danger urgently..." Dorothy continued to control her corpse and talked to Evie, who immediately realized after a pause.
"Yes, but the information is similar to that of a 10-meter-high-level machine of the Holy Church. I can't escape from this guy even if I activate the emergency shelter... If you hold on a little longer, you can buy more time for you guys."
"Stop talking nonsense. Now is not the time to care about machines or not! If you want to live, tell us the location of your mind core and cooperate with us to dismantle it. We have cooperated to this extent, don't you even have a little basic trust?" Dorothy continued to let her corpse speak to Evie in a serious tone. Listening to Dorothy's words, Evie showed a hint of hesitation on his face for the first time, then he gritted his teeth, sighed, nodded and spoke.
"Okay, the key information is all here, you can go by yourselves!" After Evie finished speaking, he waved his hand and lines of glittering small characters appeared in front of Dorothy's corpse. These small characters were all about the information about the structure of her mind core, including its location and disassembly method, etc.
"Okay, hold on for a while, we'll be there soon!" After seeing the information provided by Evie, Dorothy asked the zombies to respond like this, and then mobilized all the zombies inside Evie's hull to run under Evie's deck together.
After seeing Dorothy's actions, Evie continued to use close defense to clear the arms that were trapped on her, while continuing to use the thrusters to the fullest extent to try to get rid of the entanglement of these arms.
At this time, Evie suddenly saw Vanya in the distance who had been captured by the evil and powerful afterbirth gold. She seemed to want to do something after approaching Vanya. Evie was anxious when she saw it, and turned the few turrets to provide fire support to Vanya. However, her outpouring of firepower, together with the countless thunders in the sky, were quickly intercepted by countless distorted giant hands and basically had no effect.
“Oh no…”
Seeing Vanya in the distance being approached by the nun who called herself Faith, Evie felt increasingly heavy-hearted. At this moment, a familiar light flashed from Vanya's face, which actually forced back the approaching "Faith" and the arm that was controlling her.
'This is... your Excellency's power. The amulet she gave to Vanya worked... In this case...' Seeing "Faith" being forced back, Evey thought with a slight sense of relief. However, when she saw "Faith"'s face melted by the dazzling light, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Behind the melted face of "Faith" is another female face. Unlike the slightly rough and dark face that she had in the setting because she was often active outdoors, this is a fair, soft, more delicate and beautiful face that looks to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. It doesn't look younger than Faith's original face, but it's inexplicably more mature. Her lips are bright red, her features are three-dimensional, her eyes are long and narrow, and although her expression is serious, she reveals a strange natural charm.
The face revealed by "Faith" at this moment was magical. Ordinary people would probably be deeply attracted by it just by taking a look at it. However, after Evie saw it, it awakened certain memories deep in her heart.
This memory, which was buried deep in her heart and had only a trace of a smile, turned into a blazing spark the moment it was awakened, instantly igniting an extremely fierce rage deep in Evie's heart. This rage instantly swept through her entire heart, prompting Evie to shout out the name that made her remember it with great resentment.
"Unina Dotina!!!"
The moment Evie called out this name, her entire huge steel hull seemed to be stimulated by Evie's inner anger, and suddenly began to surge in spirituality. Countless sacred symbols and patterns suddenly appeared on the outer shell of her hull, and then the steel hull suddenly heated up as a whole, quickly turning red and even brighter. This overall temperature increase directly melted the weak and heat-resistant structure on the outside of Evie's hull, and many secondary weapons were scrapped on the spot.
Evie's temperature rose rapidly, burning the deformed bloody hands that were holding her tightly, and they were burned into green smoke on the spot with a burnt smell.
After burning the bloody hand that restrained her, Evey immediately turned all the jets to the rear and ran at full speed. She manipulated the huge steel battleship to transform it into a huge red-gold arrow, and quickly crashed into the woman called Yunina not far away.
Facing Evie's high-speed surprise attack, Yunina, who was covering her face, glanced coldly at the golden arrow that was approaching her, then stretched out a finger and pointed at Evie who was rushing towards her.
Just like that, the four-meter-long steel giant ship, with its shell thousands of degrees hot and fully powered, hit Yunina's fingers with the tip of its ram. Then, the huge ship suddenly stopped on the ground. No matter how high Evie's engine was, she could not push Yunina, who was supported in the air with her bloody hands, back a bit, or even move her body a little. Although Yunina's fingers were burned by the high temperature and smoke was coming out, there was no sign of burning or melting.
“The quality is really good…”
Raising her head slightly, Yunina looked at the huge horn in front of her that was not crushed and penetrated by her hand because of the impact of her own warship. Evie couldn't help but whispered, and then she gave a look, and the flesh and blood below her squirmed, and two tentacles with sharp keratin tips grew out rapidly, accurately stabbing the hot Evie.
These tentacles directly pierced through the high-temperature and solid shell of the box and punched a hole in Evie's hull. Evie's virtual body couldn't help but blur at this time, the output power of the entire ship's jet nozzle suddenly slowed down, and the entire ship began to shake unstably.
"But, except for the front end, it doesn't seem to be that hard..."
Yunina continued to speak, and then, on the ground of flesh and blood, many hideous and terrifying huge human heads grew out. These heads were covered in blood, full of teeth, with incomplete organs or redundant heads. They grew rapidly, and with the support of their long necks, they quickly grew to the height of Evie. Then they opened their big mouths and bit Evie's hull tightly. Those clean and neat human-like teeth seemed to be not afraid of the high temperature of Evie's body. After some force, Evie's sturdy hull began to be bitten and deformed. The whole hull began to emit sharp squeaks of steel bending, and Evie's virtual image began to become extremely flickering and blurred.
"Traitor... traitor, traitor... you... will be destroyed... your soul..."
On the bridge, Evian's flickering virtual image even began to become intermittent in its pronunciation. Although there were problems with the virtual image's voice and display, Evian's endless anger was still expressed at this moment.
Looking at the virtual image of Evie on the bridge, Yunina retracted her hand that was blocking Evie, and when she let the strange head continue to clamp down on Evie's hull, she pointed her hand at the virtual image of Evie. Then, a tentacle grew out from the flesh and blood behind Evie, flew towards the virtual image, and entangled it.
Then, a strange thing happened. Evi's virtual image, which should have no entity, was actually entangled by the tentacles and dragged over to Yunina, and the flickering situation was actually alleviated.
"You're already four decades old... and you're still working so hard for Mount Saint, even to the point of making yourself look like this. It's really pathetic... Sister Emerigo..."
Facing the restrained Evie in front of her, Yunina spoke as if she was remembering something, while Evie murmured weakly.
"I... I must take responsibility for my mistake... If I hadn't trusted Angelo too much... you... you and him... and Fabrizio's conspiracy would not have succeeded... The Holy Church would not have suffered such great damage..."
"Responsible? Haha... You actually helped our operation succeed because of your negligence? Don't overestimate yourself. You were just one of the guards of the French court at the beginning. The battle would have ended the same with or without you... It would be better to say that Angelo transferred you and saved your life. You should thank Angelo, he is your teacher and savior..." Looking at the angry Evie in front of her, Yunina said with a smile, while Evie continued to respond mercilessly.
"Bah! You are all traitors, great traitors with heinous crimes! The others have been destroyed by the Holy Judgment of God. Although I don't know how you have survived to this day, since you have chosen to show up again, you won't live for much longer..."
"Divine Judgment? Ha? How ridiculous... That liar Phaethon actually dared to claim that he was executing God's will? He is the biggest liar, he is the biggest blasphemer. He was the first to deceive us, he was the first to deceive the entire world. We are not blasphemers, we are not betrayers, he is..." Listening to Evie's words, Yunina continued to refute. Although her tone of rebuttal seemed calm, it contained a hint of excitement. Listening to Yunina's words, Evie continued to respond coldly.
"Evil words to confuse the people..."
"You are so stubborn... Since you won't listen to my advice, I can only make you obey me in other ways..." Yunina said this, and then her expression froze and she stared at Evie in front of her. Then, where she was staring, long and thin blood vessels grew out of thin air on Evie's virtual body and quickly spread around.
"Uh...Ahhh! Stop! What are you doing!?" At this time, Evie screamed in pain and struggled desperately with her eyes wide open, but she couldn't break free no matter what.
"You have become like this, you probably haven't felt pain for a long time... How does it feel to experience it again now?" Yunina said calmly, silently staring at Evie who was struggling in front of her. She began to appreciate the painful expression of the illusory nun in front of her.
"Ah... the devil of the evil god... I won't give in to this little pain. Even if the Lady of Pain descends today, so what..."
"I didn't say I wanted to use pain alone to make you surrender... Sister Emerigo... Remember, all the flesh on earth is a gift from the Lord. It's not good to throw it away casually... Let me 'resurrect' you again... Maybe you will be more rational after 'coming back to life'..."
Yunina said this, and as soon as she finished her words, the blood vessels in Evie's illusory body began to spread faster, which made Evie's screams of pain become much louder.
Just like that, Yunina began to appreciate Evie's performance, appreciating the trace of tenacity and stubbornness that still remained in the other's eyes.
Yunina, right now Evie wants to buy time for Vanya to escape, but now that she is in front of her, where can the little nun escape to?
