Chapter 320 The Dismembered
The tattered black robe clung to Zhi Lan's body. When Zhi Lan touched the cracked surface of the silver ball, an uncontrollable hissing sound came out of his throat.
"…What's wrong with you? Tell me, don't be silent, I can feel it…"
He coughed twice like a wolf. He tried to hold back his tears but still couldn't help shedding them: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have let you stay. Go to the next world and don't come back..."
The crack in the sky is getting bigger and bigger, darkness is swallowing up the daylight, and the edge of the world is collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The silver ball floated in the air. He had very little energy left and could only barely cut the iron chains that were embedded in Zhi Lan's flesh and bones.
[Zhi Lan, this world is not kind to you at all. Neither am I. ]
[I am not a system, nor a machine. I am made up of emotions and distractions that the main system doesn't want, and my mission here is... to collect the little energy left on the planet after you die.]
Zhi Lan's eyes trembled, and the tears fell down his cheek. He was stiff and seemed not to understand what Silver Ball said.
[I am a bad dictator. The first day I came to your side, I was waiting for you to die.]
Zhi Lan opened her lips slightly: "You are not..."
[I am also a slacker. I have done so much, but still achieved nothing.]
"Stop talking!" Zhi Lan said in a shrill voice, waving his hand to open the silver ball, "Stop talking! You are not, you are not!"
The parts of the silver ball were scattered all over the place. He looked up at the sky and saw a phantom and unreal electronic shadow standing in the top of the clouds.
He also lowered his head and looked at the silver ball, his figure as cold and indifferent as the never-sinking iceberg of the dragon clan.
Silver Ball stared at the figure for a moment, then gave the little energy he had left to Zhi Lan.
【Zhi Lan... go to a new world, I will send you off. 】
【Don't look back.】
The energies that merged into Zhi Lan's body repaired all the wounds on his body in a short time. Zhi Lan was attracted by the soft light and floated upwards. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tore off the ropes wrapped around his body.
"...I won't leave. I won't leave! I don't want to go anywhere else. I..."
【According to the rules, you really can’t leave. 】
Another mechanical sound that was almost identical to the sound of the silver ball rang out in the sky above the world. Zhi Lan's nerves tensed up immediately, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. He could only feel a huge wave of unknown pressure falling from the sky.
Upon seeing this, a high-intensity electric current suddenly burst out from the silver ball's body. It flew to Zhi Lan's side and blocked the energy wave pressing down from above.
[…Let him go and don’t cause any trouble! ]
The electronic shadow in the sky was motionless.
[You are the one who is in trouble. You have violated the rules.]
After he finished speaking, the pressure on him increased suddenly, and all the energy surrounding Zhi Lan dissipated. Zhi Lan lost his support and fell suddenly from the sky.
Silver Ball heard the dull sound of landing, and the red warning light on his body became brighter and brighter.
[You idiot——]
The silver ball seemed to be forced into a desperate situation. He turned the ball and glanced at Zhi Lan, then suddenly activated the self-destruct device on his body and flew towards the black shadow in the sky without looking back.
A few seconds later, a loud explosion was heard in the sky.
"Bang——"
Zhi Lan was forced back a few steps by the impact. His mind was in a fuzzy mess, and in the pure darkness he vaguely felt something falling from the sky.
"...Backstream?" Zhi Lan felt the ground with his hand. Things that fell from the sky hit his shoulders bit by bit. Soon he felt the broken system fragments.
The touch was hard and cold, not the softness he had felt before.
Zhi Lan was a little dazed. He quickly picked up several pieces of mechanical debris on the ground and shouted with his eyes wide open: "Backflow? Backflow?"
[The crisis has been resolved and the uncontrollable objects have been eliminated. ]
When Zhi Lan heard the mechanical sound that was almost identical to the sound of the silver ball, he sat paralyzed on the ground, looking up at the sky with a stiff face: "...What did you say?"
The electronic shadow above didn't say anything else. His mission here had been accomplished.
The core device of the silver ball embedded in the system remained in his hands. He also needed to bring the core back to the headquarters and extract the energy previously stored in the silver ball for secondary use - this was also the last bit of value of the silver ball.
[He created a time escape for you, but you missed it.]
The electronic shadow looked at Zhi Lan intently. The smoke in the air became thicker, and he waved his hand to disperse the strange floral scent mixed in it.
【Thank you for your cooperation, which saved me unnecessary time and energy. 】
The tears on both sides of Zhi Lan's cheeks had dried up. He blinked and murmured, "...You destroyed it, the main system...you destroyed it..."
The electronic shadow stood still, its pale face projected on his screen. He watched silently, feeling some strange emotions quietly growing in his system.
He felt unwell. The scent of the flowers had dissipated, but he still smelled something unusual for no reason.
He no longer looked at Zhi Lan's face. This world was about to collapse and die, and there was no need for him to stay here and waste time.
"Bang——"
There was another tremor on the ground, the city walls below were completely destroyed, and a hundred-foot-tall dragon rose into the sky.
The mournful dragon roar resounded through the sky, piercing everyone's eardrums almost instantly.
The electronic shadow paused, and he didn't seem to expect that Zhi Lan would suddenly go berserk at the last moment. The dragon scales on the black dragon opened and closed, and his broken dragon horns rammed open the protective shield above, and rushed towards the black shadow like crazy.
The black shadow broke into pieces the moment it was pierced by the dragon's horn, and tried to reunite on the other side.
Chi Lan was unwilling to give up. He was swept over by the severed piece of the dragon's tail, which immediately broke up the fragments that were trying to gather together.
[Identify the dangerous object, lock the target, and punish. ]
Several thunders rang out in the sky, and the black dragon was darting around in the dark clouds. The thunders were dense, and all the electric currents struck the body of the Zhilan dragon.
The scales covering the flesh were torn into powder by repeated electric shocks. The black dragon screamed miserably. After another dragon roar, Zhi Lan was pierced through the chest by the energy spikes of the main system and thrown down from the sky.
"Bang--"
The black dragon fell into the ruins of the castle, and its body curled up, crushing all the trees around it. The humans who didn't have time to escape were also affected, and the electric current sizzled, and they were electrocuted and unconscious the moment they touched the black dragon.
"Haha..." Zhi Lan could hardly maintain his dragon form. He was born with a deformity and was now lying on the ground. His upper body looked like a human, but his lower body was a dragon that was hundreds of meters long, dragging and twisting, with cracks and wounds all over it.
"...I will stay because I want to, not to create convenience for you..."
Xi Lan grasped the silver ball fragments in his hand, and he held them all tightly against his chest. His eyes were red as he stared fiercely at the sky.
"He is here, and I am here too! Remember everything you did today. I curse you, and you will not have a good ending..."
Dozens of men with rifles timidly emerged from the nearby woods. They looked at the tragic scene around them and trembled as they aimed their guns at Zhi Lan.
The sound of bullets being loaded mixed in with the roaring world. Zhi Lan's eyes were bleeding. He looked up at the sky with an inexplicable sneer on his face.
The electronic shadow looked at him coldly. The fragments of the silver ball in Zhu Lan's hand were dazzling, and he unconsciously let a little electric current flow from his fingertips.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The bullet pierced Zhi Lan's skull.
After a few gunshots, the dragon world was completely shattered.
