Chapter 279 Isn't the Heavenly Punishment System a God-killing system? Why would I beat up an old man?!
At the bottom of the Sumeru pedestal, the Trieste was successfully recovered.
But the dock at the bottom has already fallen, and a large number of zombies are wreaking havoc here.
Cheng Shuangfan was shirtless and sweaty, his face was a little pale from overusing his spiritual power, but at this moment he was still trying to endure the dizziness in his brain and control a steel cable to sweep away all the corpses that were gathering around him.
The hatch of the Trieste opened, and Caesar, who was completely useless underwater, rushed out with anger, holding two golden Desert Eagles and fired a burst of shots. The specially made mercury bomb blew a hole as big as a bowl in the corpse guard's head.
Angers, sweating profusely and with his clothes wet, revealing the hideous tattoos all over his back, brushed his messy hair behind his head, took Caesar's hunting knife, Dick Tudo, and charged into the group of corpse guards.
The situation is now very serious. Before the nuclear bomb could be transported away, the White King had already revived. It is suspected that he has devoured all the fierce ghosts who had made great contributions to replenish himself. He is now rushing towards the battlefield at sea.
Faced with what was most likely the complete form of the White King, these people were simply unable to resist. Fortunately, the old stud from Gattuso's family suddenly contacted him and said that he had prepared a big treasure and wanted to use the White King as a guinea pig to test the effect.
That is the ultimate weapon jointly developed by the Gattuso Institute and the Russian Federal Space Agency, code-named Divine Punishment.
This space-based weapon is modeled after a study called "Rod of God" begun by the US Department of Defense in 1985.
A metal rod about 6 meters long is made of high-density tungsten, manganese and uranium. After locking onto the target, it is released from space. The kinetic energy released at the moment of landing is no less than that of a small nuclear weapon.
This big baby has not yet undergone its first actual test, because the White King suddenly showed up, and the heir of the Gattuso family insisted on joining in the fun, so they had to apply it in actual combat without testing.
Miyamoto Shio once raised an objection that the biggest difficulty the United States encountered when researching the Rod of God was the complete inability to aim at the target. What if the Heavenly Punishment System was aimed at the White King, but hit the Sumeru Throne instead, it would be a heavy blow to friendly forces.
In response, Pompeii said that after a series of calculations, all data of the space-based weapons have reached the current optimal value. The accuracy will be guaranteed by Norma's war personality Eva, and the rest depends on luck.
Angers was shocked that the Gattuso family had quietly developed such a large space-based kinetic weapon. He was also somewhat glad that these ambitious people had finally stopped being a drag and did something useful.
The heir of the Gattuso family is on the battlefield at sea, and they will never let anything happen to him, so the six swords of Damocles installed on the punishment system will most likely be able to severely injure or even kill the Dragon King.
Over at the academy, the old cowboy and the crazy guys in the equipment department were already tinkering with space-based weapons. Eva said that as long as Angers gave the order, she would drop an iron rod from space and guarantee that the area where the White King was would be blown to pieces.
Coincidentally, the artificial satellite carrying the Sky Punishment System is operating in low-Earth orbit and is currently near the Pacific Ocean. There will be a chance to release the Sword of Damocles in about ten minutes.
As for the target of the throw, Angé chose the Sumeru throne where they were without any hesitation.
The intelligence submitted by Ryoma Genichirō showed that the White King's flying speed was comparable to that of a fighter jet, and he was far more agile than a fighter jet. It was impossible for him to just wait there and be pierced through by the Sword of Damocles.
So, someone must hold back the White King.
Apart from him and Uesugi Yue, no one else can do it.
"Caesar, Cheng Shuangfan, go to the command center and evacuate with everyone else." Angé relied on time zero to break out of the siege with his subordinates and students.
In order to prevent the zombies from attacking the command level through the elevator shaft, the elevator leading directly to the top has been destroyed, and they can only climb the iron ladder using their hands and feet.
All three of them were mixed-race, so this height was not a problem for them at all. The problem was that they had to guard against the attacks of the corpse guards while climbing the ladder.
Ange acted decisively and slashed the iron ladders below with his sword, and Cheng Shuangfan bent them so that the corpse guards below who were chasing them had nowhere to gain leverage, and only then did they successfully get rid of those monsters.
After catching their breath, Cheng Shuangfan pulled Caesar and ran towards the command center.
He had controlled the Trieste underwater to avoid the attacks of the corpse guards too many times. After the ordeal just now, his body was on the verge of collapse and he was of no help at all.
Space-based weapons are too lethal, and the Gattuso family will definitely not let Kassel Academy drop the sword of Damocles on the head of the future head of the family, so Caesar must go.
Caesar also knew this and did not try to be a hero and stay to stand by the principal's side.
Without taking the time to watch the two men leave, the old dragon slayer dragged his tired body out of the Sumeru throne, picked up a knife from someone's corpse on the ground, and charged into the group of corpse guards without hesitation.
Two days of one-day tour and two days of sunbathing!
The moment the world's strongest dragon slayer appeared, he used the same swordsmanship as the world's strongest half-blood. He swung two knives and turned into a gyroscope in the group of corpse guards. Relying on his incomparable sharp swords and incomparable dominance, he cut through all the corpse guards blocking his way.
Above, the people who had not yet recovered from the shock saw another old figure rushing out from below, also killing all enemies like a bulldozer. They finally felt what the disparity of the world was.
People have different physiques, and those of them are at most A-level hybrids. Not to mention the two supermodel emperors below, even the S-level principal can only kneel down in silence.
It only took Angers ten seconds to break out from the Sumeru pedestal and rush to Uesugi Yue's side.
Nine and a half seconds were spent on adapting to the corpse guard's attack, and in the remaining half second, Zero Pig rushed forward and arrived in front of Uesugi Yue in an instant, scaring the latter so much that he almost stabbed him with a knife.
"Oh my God, Ange you finally made it."
When Uesugi Yue saw the familiar old face, he suddenly felt full of strength: "There are still so many corpses in the sea that we can't kill them all. Just evacuate all the people on the Sumeru throne and detonate the nuclear bomb to blow them all to death."
At this time, the sea was littered with the wreckage of ships and law enforcement officers. Large numbers of zombies were gnawing on their corpses. The sunken floating platforms around them were slowly tilting, and countless zombies were clinging to them, making creepy roars.
If you want to completely destroy them, you have to use nuclear bombs. This is the best solution Uesugi Yue can think of.
"It's okay to evacuate, but I need to tell you something." Angé's voice was very heavy, as if a whole mountain was pressing on him.
When Uesugi Yue saw his expression, he felt his heart sink, knowing that something unexpected must have happened that he didn't know about.
"The God has revived and is heading here. The Gattuso family provided weapons that can destroy the God, but the God is too fast to be locked. I asked them to lock onto the Sumeru throne and wait for the God to descend here before destroying it." Angé moved behind him and together they slaughtered the corpses that were not decreasing in number.
"Isn't that great?" Uesugi Yue chopped down the seven-meter-long corpse guard with one sword. The ancient sword could not go any further when it chopped into its chest and abdomen, so he could only kick it away.
If it had been the beginning, his sword would have been enough to cut the corpse guard in half, but now it was difficult to even cut a bone, which showed that his physical strength had declined significantly.
Of course, no matter how much it weakened, it was still stronger than Ange. With one strike of the old guy's sword, he could only split the corpse guard in half and break a few scales, and the injury caused was no longer fatal.
"The problem is that God is not a fool. We need a bait that is attractive and powerful enough to keep it here."
Ange said these words expressionlessly, which foreshadowed the fate and ending of the two: "Otherwise, it will turn around and attack the other evacuees."
After hearing these words, Uesugi Yue felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
I finally held on until the old guy Ange came ashore, and I could have directly used my ultimate move to blow the enemy to pieces, but I didn't expect that there was a stronger and more powerful enemy on the way.
He knew without thinking who this attractive and powerful bait was referring to. Apart from him, there was only Gen Chisei, who was still calm in the distance with the support of Sakura, Yasha and others.
He wanted to refuse Ange's request to form a team to die, but Uesugi Yue knew that if the White King wanted to complete himself, he would hunt down the descendants of the White King at all costs.
Even if he and Yuan Zhisheng left together in a helicopter, they would inevitably be caught up, and a massacre would still be unavoidable.
Therefore, he had to stay and use his death to buy Yuan Zhisheng a way out.
After a long silence, he slashed with his sword. As the ancient sword in his hand shattered, a hideous head soared into the sky. He gritted his teeth and said:
"Give me the detonator of the nuclear bomb, and you take them away!"
Huang is the individual closest to the Dragon King. He is confident that he can hold off for a while at the risk of his life. Even if he cannot hold out until Gattuso's space-based weapons arrive, he can still drag the White King along to experience mankind's god-killing weapon - the nuclear bomb.
He should have died more than 60 years ago, but he has been alive until now.
Before she died, my mother cursed that God would punish sinners with thunder and fire...
Now there are lightning, thunder, wind and rain, and a shocking explosion, which is in line with her expectations.
Although it was not his ideal Catholic funeral, this way of death was still grand and worthy of his status as an emperor.
"You can't stop God by yourself." Ange gasped heavily. The Japanese sword he picked up with his left hand broke with a bang the moment it hit the corpse guard. He only had time to use the Dick Tudo in his right hand to block the attack. He pulled out an ancient sword from behind Uesugi Yue with his backhand, and with lightning speed he cut off half of the corpse guard's neck. The hideous head drooped and tilted to one side.
"My relationship with you is not good enough to be buried together, right?" Uesugi Yue raised his foot and kicked away a corpse guard who was attacking Angers from a blind spot.
They actually have very little in common, and their relationship can't really be described as good; it would be a stretch to call them friends.
He was almost beaten to death when they first met, and the only interaction between them afterwards was the evidence of his crimes being handed over to Japan. After that, Uesugi Yue rebelled against the Snake Eight Families and killed the entire family in one day. In the end, he was taken in by the secret party represented by Angers and treated like a dog.
In theory, the two of them were actually enemies, but after sixty years, everything has become a thing of the past. There is no longer any national hatred or family feud, only the mutual sympathy between the two old monsters.
"If possible, of course I would like to kill all the dragons in the world before dying, but the hope is slim. I can only place my hope on the younger generations." Angé's voice was flat, as if he had already put life and death aside.
"And you want a Catholic funeral, don't you? I was blessed by the local bishop when I was a child, and I know a little about this. If you don't mind, I can read a sutra to you before the nuclear bomb explodes."
"Oh, please, let a bloody avenger preside over my funeral. Even if I go to hell, I'm afraid the devil will look up to me." Uesugi Yue sneered and looked at the young man in the distance whose body had begun to sway and whose knife-swinging speed had slowed down a lot.
"I thought you were thinking about going to heaven."
"How can a person like me who is full of sins be worthy of this? Besides, I don't have the face to see her." Uesugi Yueqiang took a deep breath, and with his two swords he shook off the corpse guards who were rushing towards him and drew a circle. Under Ange's cover, he chanted the spell again and summoned the black sun that would annihilate everything.
The sea breeze suddenly became more violent, two splashes of water exploded on the surging tide, and two more dragon-shaped corpses emerged, but the momentum they created was not as great as when the black sun came again.
The terrifying gravitational field exploded with Uesugi Yue as the center, and the corpses a hundred meters ahead were torn away and dyed into white ashes in the crown of the black sun.
His white hair fluttered in the wind, and Uesugi Yue stood in the center of the storm, like a god or demon.
Without turning his head, he shouted:
"Gen Family boy! Take your people and leave immediately!!"
Not far away, Yuan Zhisheng was killing the corpse guards bit by bit with the help of Sakura and Crow. After entering the dragon bone state, his strength and defense were amazing, but he could not withstand the continuous attack like a tide, and his physical strength was almost reaching the limit.
At this moment, he suddenly heard Uesugi Yue's voice. His figure froze in place. He turned around and looked behind him. The white-haired old man was walking towards the sea alone. In front of him was a giant dragon skeleton roaring ferociously, and behind him was a doomsday black sun wheel spinning.
He suddenly realized what he was going to do.
He had been wearing invisible headphones and had never exited the communication channel, so he knew everything about the White King's attack and Ange and others' plan to use the Sumeru Throne as bait to kill the gods.
But he didn't expect that his biological father, whom he had only met today, would actually let go of all the past grudges and choose to stay and die with King Bai.
"But..." He subconsciously wanted to dissuade them. Maybe Sakura had already killed the White King and saved the world. Taking a step back, even if they failed to successfully prevent the White King from reviving, they were also trying to kill him?
"Walk!"
Uesugi Yue didn't look back, and his voice was filled with the rage of a landslide or tsunami.
These words were not a command, but a plea.
"A UFO has been detected approaching! A UFO has been detected approaching! It's very fast and will reach the battlefield in two minutes at most!"
Shio Miyamoto's voice pierced through the rain, replacing the alarm that had been ringing all night.
The Sword of Damocles still needs five minutes, and the final enemy is already within reach.
There were not many helicopters prepared for this operation, and nearly half of them crashed in the battle. The remaining half were either forced to stop for resupply due to running out of ammunition and food, were overwhelmed by the influx of corpses, or were unable to take off a second time due to running out of fuel.
At this time, there are only five helicopters that can be used on the Sumeru throne, and they are unable to take everyone away. Only senior executives and technical personnel have a chance to escape. The remaining personnel will assist Uesugi Yue and Angers to keep the gods in this sea.
The technical staff of Kassel Academy had already evacuated when the battle broke out. After all, their insurance only provided an air transport service for bodies, while the disability allowance and death pension for the people of the Snake Eight Families were as high as one million yen. Naturally, it was impossible for them to stay and fight with these Japanese.
Inuyama He and Miyamoto Shio are not Angers, and they do not have the courage to blow up the helicopter's fuel tank and leave them with no way to escape. They can only watch them leave.
"Young master, let's go!" When Crow heard the broadcast, he knew that the Japanese mixed-race ancestor was about to arrive, and he wanted to jump down, carry Yuan Zhisheng on his shoulders and take him away.
Yasha was a man of action. He grabbed a rope and threw it towards Yuan Zhisheng, shouting at him to grab it and leave quickly.
Ying said nothing, but just controlled the metal blade that Yuan Zhisheng had made for her to sweep wildly among the group of corpses below, surrounding every corpse that tried to attack the man. If she couldn't break through their defense, she would poke their eyes and drill into the holes in their eyes, ears, mouth and nose.
She is a special assistant and also Yuan Zhisheng's confidant. She will not make decisions for her young master, but will always follow behind him, even if there is a cliff or a sea of fire in purgatory ahead, she will never leave him and will always follow him.
Yuan Zhisheng grabbed the rope thrown to him. He no longer had the decisiveness of the past and looked a little indecisive.
Uesugi Yue noticed the movement behind him, and his heart softened. Finally, he said loudly:
"Go quickly and take good care of your brothers and sisters!"
After saying this, Yuan Zhisheng no longer hesitated. He was pulled up rapidly by the cable, but his eyes were fixed on the Last Shadow Emperor who was facing the two dragon-shaped corpses, and the bearded lion guarding behind him.
Yasha and Crow worked together to pull Yuan Zhisheng up, grabbed his arm to prevent him from jumping down again, and rushed to the helicopter landing platform in the distance that had been opened to reveal the propeller:
"Master, it's too late, we have to go!"
Yuan Zhisheng looked up, but saw that only a group of scientific researchers and Caesar Cheng Shuangfan were waiting on the elevator. The figure of the head of the Inuyama family holding a sword disappeared at the end of the platform, and the moment he jumped down, his face showed a determination to die.
The head of the Miyamoto family still held his position, ready to detonate the nuclear bomb himself.
"Yuan Jun, the future of the family is in your hands!"
Inuyama He's roar echoed in the wind and rain.
As a disciple, you should advance and retreat together with your teacher, and share life and death with him. There is no reason to escape alone.
Crow almost cursed. These old guys were willing to die bravely, weren't they deliberately trying to make things difficult for the young master?
As expected, Yuan Zhisheng stopped instantly when he saw that the two heads of the families had chosen to sacrifice their lives for their country. Crow and Yaksha tried their best but could not stop him from moving forward an inch.
"Eri has found her ideal husband, and my daughter has found a lifelong companion. They no longer need my care."
Genshisei found a reason to stay, and threw Crow and Yasha toward the helicopter with both arms: "Go back and follow Eri from now on. This is the order of the head of the family!"
After saying that, he looked at Ying again, but saw determination in her eyes. He knew that he couldn't drive her away even if he gave the order, so he just smiled, took her hand and turned to return to the battlefield.
Below, Uesugi Yue didn't know that his stupid son had returned, so he jumped out with full of passion, ready to kill all enemies in front of him with the sword in his hand.
But just as he leaped out and swung his sword at the dragon, a black lightning tore through the sky!
A deafening scream was heard in the distance, the sky and the earth became bright as day, and a ray of black light cut through the wind and rain and came crashing down!
"boom--!!!"
Amid deafening scream, arcs of black light penetrated the two dragon skeletons. The rotten bones fell apart in the dazzling light, and the shock wave evaporated all the sea water within a hundred meters.
Uesugi Yue was blown away by the air wave, spitting out a mouthful of blood in the air, and after rolling several times, he fell heavily in front of Ange.
"Damn it! Isn't it said that the Heavenly Punishment System is for dealing with Gods? Your deviation is too outrageous!!"
Uesugi Yue spat out blood foam and fell into Ange's arms, his curses almost resounding through the sky.
Who in my family would understand? From the time I appeared on the stage till now, the only injury I have suffered was from friendly forces.
Why, do I deserve to be punished by God?!
