Chapter 157 Choosing to Save Two People at the Same Time
Situ Linchen and Ning Shuyin immediately retreated into the barrier area.
Prince Kross's powerful plague energy was deflected directly when it touched this barrier.
"What is this?" Ning Shuyin asked Luo Lan.
She sensed that the shield's energy was unusually powerful.
Lorraine deliberately turned her head away, pretending not to hear, and didn't answer her at all.
He went deep into K100 to look for something, so of course he knew what function the thing he found had.
The resurrected entity he wanted to create would have the Plague Module as its heart and Void Droplets as its nerves and structure. To prevent the Plague Module from leaking energy after being infused, something else was needed to form its skin.
He had been searching for this item, called "Disaster Protection," on the black market for a long time.
He only recently received news that someone had brought it into the K100. He came looking for it, but to his surprise, when the aircraft landed, a Soyuz landing ship was already parked at the entrance, and he even bumped into the two people.
Fortunately, he still managed to get his hands on the item.
The Disaster Repellent could isolate the energy of disasters and plagues, and he was extremely reluctant to use it. But now, in this life-or-death situation, nothing was more important than his life.
"Loran, maintain the barrier. Ning Shuyin, find Kross's weakness," Situ Linchen said rapidly.
"Fang Yan, external support ceases. Await my orders."
Fang Yan's team consisted of only nine S-rank experts. The support fleet he secretly brought was only a single assault ship.
Against a core powerhouse of the Machine Race like Kross, those support forces were as good as ashes.
At this moment, the three-person team was formed.
Loran became the team's shield, Situ Linchen was the main attacker, and Ning Shuyin was the scout's eye.
"He has no mechanical structure; an attack on his heart or neck would suffice."
Ning Shuyin's senses swept over the mechanical prince. He possessed a human body with flesh and blood. She could confirm that his body had not been modified in any way.
Situ Linchen moved upon hearing the sound.
The golden spear, like a dragon, forced Kross to retreat several steps.
Under the protection of the Disaster Shield, all external energy attacks are rendered ineffective.
Situ Linchen's combat power was fully unleashed.
They seem like they can win.
With the next shot, Klose was forced back dozens of meters until his back pressed against the wall.
"Trying to use my creations against me? Naïve." His exquisitely beautiful face remained calm and unperturbed. "With just a flick of my finger, I can turn honey into poison."
Loran, who was maintaining the barrier, suddenly changed his expression: "Something's not right."
On the energy monitoring screen of his wrist's optical brain, an extremely unstable energy curve kept jumping around.
"This shield is releasing abnormal energy." Loran's usually cold and indifferent voice became tense.
After saying that, he made a decisive move, slamming the box shut with a snap, and the barrier surrounding the three of them immediately disappeared.
But it was too late.
The three-person team all felt something strange about their bodies. A cold, viscous energy swirled around them.
"My sea of consciousness...it hurts so much!" Ning Shuyin rubbed her forehead, her face covered in cold sweat. "It's mental pollution."
Upon closer inspection, the three of them were covered in fine black silk threads.
Situ Linchen's weapon energy began to become unstable, and cracks appeared on the tip of the golden spear in his hand.
Deep within his consciousness, those painful memories of killing that had been forcibly suppressed were suddenly unleashed.
He suddenly turned around.
He gripped a long spear, but his palms were icy cold, and his bloodshot eyes were fixed on Ning Shuyin, who was closest to him.
A golden spear swept across.
"Marshal!" Ning Shuyin exclaimed.
She felt as if death had enveloped her. Despite her lightning-fast movements, she couldn't escape Situ Linchen's offensive range.
The League of Legends' God of Slaughter is simply too strong.
But just as the tip of the gun was a fraction of an inch away from her carotid artery, Situ Linchen let out a painful growl.
His mind was filled with the taint of meaningless killing. But the deep-seated obsession with her compelled him to lay down his weapon.
We mustn't hurt her!
The conflicting forces caused his energy to become chaotic, and the mech on the arm holding the gun was shattered by the shockwave.
“I,” he clenched his teeth, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, “can control myself.”
Loran's amplifying energy was originally connected to Situ Linchen. Situ's forced withdrawal of the attack caused the silver amplifying energy to be affected and backfire.
Loran was thrown to the ground, coughing up blood.
Kross leaned against the wall, casually fiddling with the sash of his battle suit, his pure gold eyes seeming to watch an ant struggle.
Situ Linchen's gun was now covered in ominous black energy.
But he went ahead without hesitation and stabbed at Klose again.
This shot contained the power of his will, forcing Klose to concentrate on dealing with it.
"Burning your will amidst extreme pain?" A cruel glint flashed in Kross's beautiful eyes. "Let's see how long you can last, and who you can protect."
With a thought, the ten plague apostles instantly changed formation.
The ten people lined up in an arc formation, their arms flashing with blue electric arcs, pointing directly at Ning Shuyin.
"Kill her," Klose ordered ruthlessly.
With his concerns lingering, Situ Linchen found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
"Your opponent is me." Situ Linchen forced himself to be distracted, protecting Ning Shuyin as she escaped a wave of attacks.
“Situ, you are invincible on the battlefield because you are strong enough, and also because you are ruthless enough to ignore the life and death of your comrades and focus on the battle.”
"But now, it seems you have someone to protect. This battle is going to be much harder for you to win."
The situation has become a passive predicament.
Situ Linchen fought with all his might against the mental pollution within his sea of consciousness, maintaining his mental clarity.
She also had to use her strongest offensive to restrain Kross, preventing him from having a chance to personally attack Ning Shuyin. She also had to be distracted to parry the endless stream of cold arrows.
His mech shattered into pieces.
With his injuries severe, Loran's energy boosts were becoming increasingly weak.
“Foolish guardian.” Kross sneered, and the apostles unleashed their full power under his will.
A thought flashed through Ning Shuyin's mind at that moment.
If things continue like this, we won't be able to win; death is the only outcome.
The only way out is to become a container for this pollution.
A ray of green light flowed from her palm and poured into Situ Linchen.
She devoted everything to purifying the pollution in his mind.
At the same time, she spun around.
With a resolute stance, he stood in front of the heavily injured and fallen Loran.
She chose to protect two people at the same time.
This action completely exposed her to the vast amount of plague energy in the space.
The pollution in Situ Linchen's sea of consciousness was expelled from his body by the healing power. But those black threads followed the tip of his spear and found a new host.
The mental pollution that had been entangled around the three of them suddenly pierced Ning Shuyin's forehead.
Loran, who was lying on the ground, was startled.
She stood in front of him.
This distance allowed him to see very clearly. Countless black threads, like living things, burrowed into Ning Shuyin's body and slithered under her skin.
She was saving him. He had been cold and sarcastic towards her not long ago.
The coldness in his eyes began to shatter.
Situ Linchen's consciousness had returned to normal. The pollution receded, and his consciousness returned. What he saw, however, was a scene that filled him with immense sorrow.
Ning Shuyin's body was enveloped in thick black energy. Her body trembled violently as she endured immense pain.
But she still stubbornly stayed there, forcibly continuing to infuse him with healing power.
call out!
A sharp whistling sound rang out, as if space itself had been torn apart. Golden light, crackling with crimson arcs of electricity, hurtled towards the location of the culprit, Kross.
It was Situ Linchen, spear in hand, who charged forward like lightning.
The indifference on Klose's face vanished, and astonishment appeared in his golden eyes.
Mental pollution is his strongest weapon, an extension of his will, and the most effective tool he uses to attack these Perseids.
But this Perseus girl is actually absorbing his power?
"Take her down," he said, adjusting his command. "Be careful, I want her alive."
