Chapter 229 Intertwined
Seven Thunder Titans covered with seven kinds of armor fell from the sky, and then threw heavy bombs, thunder and lightning, and dazzling fire rings at the Black Forest. White phosphorus bombs streaked across the sky like meteors, igniting a raging fire in the forest. Smoke rose in the flames, burning and scorching the dusk. Then, the Tin Man V-2 dive bomber tore open the cracks between the clouds and began to drop bombs on the most densely populated areas of the wolf pack, and used the tail gun to madly straf the ground in the process.
The sky was torn apart, literally.
Little Red Riding Hood saw that the sky above the Black Forest seemed to have turned into a broken mirror. The originally complete dusk sky was "cut" into a large number of irregular fragments, and each fragment reflected a different scene - there were dark and towering spires, a bloody and gloomy palace, a brightly lit dance hall, a wilderness with the sound of flutes, a large ship returning at night, and an ancient castle covered with thorns... This scene was as if all the "subsets" were "collapsing" with the Black Forest as the center.
At the same time, all kinds of things—dragons, giants, soldiers, burning wreckage and sails, castles, demons—began to fall from the mirrors into the Mirkwood.
The barriers between subsets were forcibly "opened", and the Black Forest, the "original stage" in the fairy tale collection, now opened its "door" to all stories.
A majestic giant in steel armor walked towards this side with heavy steps. The sharp teeth of ordinary wolves were simply unable to resist the power of this Titan - even though this giant could only be called a "dwarf" among the "Titan" race - the wolves retreated in front of the Titan, and a familiar voice came from the giant's shoulder, with excitement and joy: "Sister Red Riding Hood! I'm here to help you! Are you happy!"
Little Red Riding Hood looked up in astonishment and saw Snow White standing high on the Titan's shoulder armor. Despite the heavy mental pressure of summoning seven giants at the same time, the girl's face was still full of excitement - that was the excitement of being able to have a lot of fun, the excitement of finally not having to care about the rules, not having to calculate her life every day, and being able to do whatever she wants for once.
Little Red Riding Hood raised her hand and pointed to the sky in the distance: "Your mother is coming to kill us!!"
The next second, a powerful voice resounded throughout the sky above the Black Forest: "Come! Come! Come!! Even if you come to this unknown place, I will still blast you all away..."
The voice of the crazy woman in the sky was only halfway shouted when another flame rose from the ground. A knight in heavy armor stepped directly into the air and swung his sword at the vicious queen in a gorgeous court dress: "For the glory of the king!"
However, the knight was defeated in a few rounds, but soon another large army assembled in the burning forest. The ground troops led by the Scarecrow began to fire crazily at every thing in the sky that did not look like one of their own, and the Thunder Titans joined the battle after a moment's reaction.
A chubby tabby cat rushed out from the smoke. The moment the knight was defeated, it waved its claws and summoned again. In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared in the air - they were the priest from the small town, the down-and-out wandering swordsman, the traveling wizard, and the brave man who just came out of the village.
The "King" threw an old sword to the dull-looking brave, patted the latter's arm with his claws, and raised his claws to point to the sky, pointing at the enemy who was fighting with the Thunder Titans: "Go and hit her! Remember, you must shout about bonds, friendship, and everyone in the village, and then rush up and chop - remember! You must shout! After shouting, you will definitely be able to chop her! Go!"
Dorothy, holding a saber in her hand and wearing a commander's uniform, staggered out of a nearby bomb crater. Her face was covered in blood, but her smile was particularly bright: "Everyone, come together! Attack those marked by the flare first!"
The mermaid's song rang out, echoing in this burning, chaotic, crazy, and scorching battlefield. The song seemed to be mixed with the sound of the tide, and the moist and gentle breath permeated everything on the battlefield.
The long-haired princess with long blond hair plucked a golden spike from the chest of a dying demon and merged it back into her hair. Half of her body was covered in blood. She squinted her eyes slightly at the mermaid's song and took a deep breath as if bathing in the sea breeze: "Ha... This is what the mermaid's song brings... Eh?"
Rapunzel opened her eyes in confusion and looked at the girl with a human body and a mermaid tail who was singing on a large rock nearby: "...I didn't gain any status when you sang?"
The girl with a human body and a mermaid tail stopped singing and stared at Rapunzel blankly: "When did I say that I can gain status by singing?"
"So what's the matter with you singing here?"
"Just listen carefully!"
Little Red Riding Hood stood in the center of the chaotic battlefield, looking at everything around her with a dull expression.
The development of things seemed to have gone beyond her expectations.
She felt as if she saw a "war" - a war that took place between many fairy tales and was started in the most unreasonable way. Now Dorothy's rebels and the brave men appointed by the king were attacking the evil queen, the white phosphorus bombs summoned by the little match girl were bombing the wolves in the Black Forest, the dragon slayer fell from the sky, the evil witch died in the aftermath of the red dragon's fall, Jack's beanstalk was slowly strangling the Red Queen, and the giant guarding the golden goose had his head smashed by a pumpkin carriage and was falling from the sky.
There is also a mermaid singing on the battlefield, sometimes lyrical and sometimes rock, and when the atmosphere is right, there is even a B-box, which is useless but sounds nice, as if it is providing the BGM for this crazy and absurd drama.
Then she heard a piercing noise from the sky.
She looked up in astonishment and saw that the shadow projected by Ankaela that ran through the sky was twisting violently like a spasm, as if it was suffering from great pain. She saw many tiny cracks suddenly appearing on its surface, and those terrifying eyes were extinguished one after another in the violent shaking.
She vaguely saw a... crack. The crack stood in the center of the Black Forest. It seemed to have been there from the beginning, but its true appearance was not revealed until now.
She saw Yu Sheng turn around with a happy smile on his face.
"What did you do?" Little Red Riding Hood asked loudly in surprise.
"Ankaela has given you so many nightmares. Now it's its turn to have one," Yu Sheng smiled brightly and explained what he was doing in the simplest way. "When its 'gaze' is fixed here, I will tear up the scripts of all the 'stories'. Now it should be too busy to stop me."
With the roar of artillery fire all around, Little Red Riding Hood had to shout very loudly: "Have you been wanting to do this for a long time?"
Yu Sheng laughed out loud: "That's for sure!"
After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the crack: "I'm going to see what the back of the stage looks like."
Little Red Riding Hood shouted subconsciously: "Then let's..."
Yu Sheng waved his hand without even turning his head. "Keep making a fuss. Make as much noise as you can until the forest collapses and everything burns down. Then you will meet again in the wilderness. You can rest there for a while. If everything goes well, you will be back at the valley camp the next time you open your eyes."
Little Red Riding Hood stood there, looking at the backs of Yu Sheng, Hu Li and Irene in a daze. After a few seconds, she subconsciously muttered, repeating what she had just heard.
"... meet again in the wilderness after death, celebrate to your heart's content, and then return to the world of the living in a place of refuge... why does this sound so weird?"
At this time, Yu Sheng could no longer hear Little Red Riding Hood's muttering.
He led Hu Li and Irene through the center of the chaotic battlefield and through the last small section of scorched earth occupied by wolves. After clearing all obstacles along the way without much effort, the "rift" was within reach.
Only after getting so close did he realize that the scale of this rift was actually much larger than he had imagined.
It is almost like a high wall that reaches from heaven to earth, standing before your eyes and filling your vision.
From time to time, a slight buzzing sound could be heard from the crack.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The crying of babies and other sharp noises disappeared at some point.
"We really have to go in..." Irene was a little nervous, "It's scary."
Yu Sheng did not answer, but looked into the arms of the little doll.
The little squirrel was still curled up in the doll's arms.
"You can stay in the Black Forest," Yu Sheng said to her. "We don't know what the place we are going to next will be like. It may be dangerous or scary. Of course, it may also be something completely unexpected."
"Squirrel Knight..." The squirrel propped herself up in the arms of the puppet. She spoke subconsciously, but then hesitated. After two seconds, she suddenly waved her paw vigorously, "I'll go with you!"
"Why?"
"I..." The squirrel shrank his neck, but still met Yu Sheng's gaze, "I want to see what 'Ankaela' looks like..."
Yu Sheng stared at her for a while, and finally nodded gently: "Okay, you come with us, stay in Irene's arms and don't run around."
Then, he walked into the crack without hesitation.
A brief fall, dislocation of perception, dizziness, and hallucinations in the dark.
He felt like he had fallen into a criss-crossing "network". Countless things like plant roots were spreading in the darkness, supporting many large and small platforms. He also felt like he had passed through a pipe, rushing like the goods being transported in the pipe. He was not sure how long he had been "falling" in the darkness, probably only a few seconds, or maybe a very long time - and then, he suddenly felt down to earth.
Yu Sheng opened his eyes hesitantly.
Hu Li, Irene, Yu Sheng, and the little squirrel all looked at the scene in amazement.
They were standing in a white corridor, the walls and floor of which had a metallic sheen.
Yu Sheng's eyes swept around and fell on a plaque on the wall of the corridor.
There were strange words on it, but somehow, he could understand it -
"Ankaela-Maintenance Channel"
