30 Dried Rose
◎The rose blooms for the last time◎
Mei Ke could only watch helplessly as Teng Ling exhausted his superpowers and his own flesh and blood to protect her from the sky-high explosion. When the bombardment finally subsided, Teng Ling's vines were almost gone, and the vines that had originally wrapped around the girl slowly loosened.
Mei Ke quickly stepped forward, picked up the dying vines, and began to continuously input self-healing ability into the energy beads in the center of the vines. Pink energy light spots kept flashing, but they were just a drop in the bucket when they landed on the vines.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! If only I hadn't been so willful. The adults have warned me so many times but I didn't listen! Aling, please let me go. I can help you!" Mei Ke kept saying this with regret, tears falling from her eyes.
"Mei Ke, run away! Go back to the abyss! The bugs are coming!!" Teng Ling's remaining mental strength was connected to Mei Ke's mind and kept urging her.
Just as Mei Ke exhausted all her healing powers to save Teng Ling's life and wanted to take her back underground, a sharp insect chirp sounded in the sky, and a golden insect with circular black patterns appeared in front of the two of them. The translucent wings on its hard golden shell kept vibrating, and its cold compound eyes moved downward. After discovering the two people, it attacked decisively. The sharp golden light pierced Mei Ke, who was hugging Teng Ling tightly, without any effort.
A mixture of pink and green juices flowed out and fell on the barren ground. The tentacles on the golden giant insect's head moved, and after confirming that the two people posed no threat, it slowly fell down. Its sharp forelimbs moved forward, wanting to directly pierce their bodies and take out the energy beads from them.
When the insect raised its forelimbs, Teng Ling used up his last bit of strength, and the dark green vines shot up into the sky again, wrapping around the insect's forelimbs to block the attack for Mei Ke.
Mei Ke looked at the scene with dilated pupils. Her tears had long dried up and now nothing could come out. Her pain was simply beyond words.
The golden Zerg seemed confused by this suicidal counterattack, but still spared no effort to pull the entangled vines hard, violently tearing the vines into several pieces. The dark green and jade-like energy beads were exposed in the air. When the vines were stripped of the energy beads, they withered instantly and turned into gray and dry vines that fell to the ground.
“Ah ...
Mei Ke collapsed at the sight of this scene and screamed shrilly. The pink rose instantly blossomed and countless petals fell, carrying a rich fragrance that bewitched the Zerg.
Rose, who had already fallen into madness, took out the sharp knife she carried with her and stabbed it into the heart of the golden insect. However, her supernatural powers and basic physical strength had long been exhausted, so she could only leave a shallow scratch on the hard shell of the giant insect.
The Zerg were awakened by her actions, and golden supernatural light burst out, blasting through the girl's body without hesitation. The supernatural bead at her heart fell to the ground, and the pink petals fluttered. The originally delicate petals instantly dried up and fell.
Mei Ke fell down and looked at the withered Teng Ling in front of her. She moved her fingers as if to grab it, but she had no strength left and could only watch.
In the last moment before she fell into darkness, she once again remembered what Grandpa Mei said to her before he died. He said that the reason this Rose Star Field was called Rose was because the nebulae and stars of the entire galaxy formed one huge and beautiful rose petal after another.
From a distance, it looks like a beautiful rose in full bloom. The older generation would take their oaths under this pink starry sky during important moments in their lives.
Unfortunately, she had never seen the rose in full bloom, nor had she told Teng Ling under the pink starry sky that the pink rose would always stay with the green vines, never leaving them and would never be separated again.
The golden Zerg stepped forward and picked up the two energy beads that fell on the ground. He carefully put them into the storage bracelet on his tentacles and continued to fly in search of the next energy fluctuation he sensed.
After the scattered insects on the ground were swept away and returned to the warships, the fleet began to build like building blocks in this empty space.
An extremely huge golden sword that covered the planet appeared in the void. A pair of golden wings spread out at the hilt of the sword. Under the control of these wings, the golden sword chopped down through the thick clouds and chopped the ground of the planet.
"Boom!!!" The ground, as fragile as paper, was torn apart by the knife, revealing thousands of gullies. The whole land shook violently. Countless ruins were hit by this huge blow and the aftermath, raising hundreds of meters high and rolling countless dust and mud.
The golden wings transformed into a pair of giant hands, directly digging open the ravine, and mud and gravel poured down like a torrent. When the dust settled, a touch of green was finally revealed under the abyss, like a gray-white stone shell revealing the moist jade inside.
This emerald green banyan tree is tall and majestic, with roots coiled like a crouching dragon, deeply rooted in the underground core, and lush branches and leaves, and a wide crown.
The moment the banyan tree, as gorgeous as a cloud, was exposed, the roots wrapped around its branches instantly climbed up into the sky, continuously piercing through the golden warships floating in the air.
The giant hand-like warship transformed again, and a golden spear composed of Zerg warships faced the layers of dense green shields composed of banyan tree vines and leaves.
Endless threads of rules, as silky as silk, hang down from the sky and converge into invisible rivers. The sharp gold and the vibrant green constantly collide, and the rules are as brilliant as the sound of heaven and earth.
Beneath the banyan tree, an old, white-haired man and the peerlessly gorgeous king gazed calmly at the golden light that blanketed the heavens and earth. A group of young men and women, transformed from various plants and trees, looked toward their king with piercing eyes, awaiting his command.
"I thought we would keep going, but it seems this idea cannot be realized." The king, standing on the tree trunk, lowered his head and murmured tenderly at his few remaining people.
"It's not your fault! You've done well enough! The king has exhausted all his energy to help us survive in the abyss!" The people standing around excitedly said:
"It's all because of us! It's all because of those cruel Zerg. They killed us so brutally and drove us to this desolate area, where we will never see the sun again!!"
"King! Let's fight one last time! I don't want those disgusting bugs to easily turn me into food and get the core of the earth!!" A yellow-haired girl said to their king with tears in her eyes but an extremely firm tone.
The handsome man moved his mouth, and finally looked into her eyes and opened his mouth but could not speak. As a king, he really didn't want his people to accompany him to death, but even if he let them escape, where could they escape to? They were already retreating and running away.
After leaving Rose Star, the main star of the Rose Galaxy, they lost their vast territory and countless lives, and finally could only linger in the depths of the abyss. They thought that the Zerg would let them go at this point, but they didn't. They were only prepared to suck their bones and marrow and squeeze out every last drop of their blood!
"Okay, I promise you!" Wang finally agreed and began to make arrangements and give instructions to the people. The old man transformed from the banyan tree walked tremblingly to Wang's side, looking at the last busy companions, sighing in despair, tears streaming down his face, he said:
"If the previous king hadn't been so arrogant as to touch that insect egg and hatch it, none of this would have happened. We ourselves opened Pandora's box, and now we are doomed!"
The king listened to the old man's sorrowful words and fell silent.
I remembered when I was a child, my father stood in the magnificent royal treasury and told him of his lofty ambitions. He said this Zerg egg was the most precious treasure of the Zerg, but it was not in the hands of the Zerg, but in his hands. He had planted the slave mark in this egg, and when it hatched, he could control the Zerg and conquer other star regions!
But at that time he had no idea how terrible it would be for the Zerg to possess the Queen!
Wang pulled his thoughts back and took out the last of his SSS-grade artifacts, the Star-gripping Scepter. He bowed slightly to the old man and said respectfully, "I'm sorry, but I have to leave you here alone, Master."
"Go ahead, leave this to me." The old man looked at his most beloved student whom he had personally brought up, and his thousands of words finally converged into this sentence.
The white-haired old man watched the young king walk into the depths of the abyss with quick steps, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably, and in the end he could only curse the former king continuously.
"What a sin! What a sin!"
Pairs of shining golden wings began to grow at the tail of the golden spear. With the increasing thrust, the golden spear began to pierce the green canopy. Finally, when there were only a few layers left, the golden spear burst out a flame that shot up into the sky. The ultra-high temperature flame burned continuously and directly pierced through the entire green canopy, cutting it in half.
However, the attack didn't kill the tree outright. The white-haired elder merged with the tree, its countless roots and branches instantly entangling the entire golden spear. Using immense force, they began tearing at it. Cracks appeared on the golden spear handle and tip, and countless warships were pierced and fell into the endless abyss.
But this advantage did not last long. The eight golden wings behind the gun handle turned into sharp blades and pierced straight into the ground like a cage, pulling the tall and mighty Rong tree out of the ground. The golden gun broke free from the restraints and found the power core of Rong Shubei and launched a fierce attack, directly shattering the power beads within a radius of fifty meters.
The primary commander of this operation was Bai Guichan, one of the seven captains of the Queen's guards. His snow-white eyelashes drooped, his mind focused on the battle. Seeing that only the banyan tree remained in resistance, with the others nowhere to be seen, a hint of confusion crossed his expressionless face. Finally, he gave a direct order: "After retrieving this power bead, the entire army will retreat three hundred miles."
But it was too late. The banyan tree's countless branches withered, obscuring the Zerg's vision. The king beneath the abyss felt a powerful surge of supernatural power, tears streaming silently. He gazed at the people standing at various nodes of the sacrificial formation, raised his exquisitely carved scepter, and shouted, "The Rose Empire Lives Forever!" Then, he fiercely stabbed the node that activated the formation.
The sacrificial formation was activated, pink light shone, and people turned into countless flesh and blood and merged into the formation and into the core of the earth.
Boom boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The earth's core was directly detonated, and the pink light penetrated the withered branches of the Rong tree, hitting the warships that had turned into golden spears, and directly swallowed the golden spears.
Bai Guichan tried to open his domain to protect the remaining warships but failed. The explosive energy caused by the earth's core was no longer something that an ordinary SSS-level psychic could withstand, and it directly broke through his domain!
The brilliance of the explosion was like a blooming rose, with delicate pink petals stretching out one by one. Above this empty gray void, a dazzling pink rose, carrying the beautiful memories of thousands of people, ignited itself and bloomed silently for the last time.
