Chapter 172 Nation-Protecting Level and Nation-Destroying Level
Chapter 172 National Protector Level and National Destroyer Level
Vierlan felt a chill run down her spine; she sensed an unusually strong murderous intent from old Pete towards her.
“Of course, you, a mere mortal, are quite amazing too,” Old Pete turned to look at Loya, his face full of amazement. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen such a terrifying bomb. I almost got half-dead from it myself. I must say, you’ve impressed me and piqued my interest like never before.”
Loya rolled his eyes: "It's truly my honor. By the way, since you've been here the whole time, why didn't you join forces with those monsters and wipe us out immediately?"
Loya was somewhat curious, but at the same time, he felt that this kind of cunning old fox spying from behind the scenes was also a bit foolish.
Wouldn't it avoid a lot of trouble if we just went all out?
Then, the burly monster won't die either.
"Of course, it's because I want to see the strength of these young demon cubs!" Old Pete was very kind and actually answered Loya's question. He continued, "At the same time, only through bloody battles can these young demon cubs evolve to their full potential. I'm doing this for their own good."
"Of course, the main reason is that I want to see the expressions on your faces when you think you've won but have actually lost."
Old Pete's lips curled up, revealing a faint, eerie smile.
"Oh, so it's because you feel like you're in control of everything that you've developed a desire for fun." Loya suddenly understood, and he also understood old Pete quite well.
Because, at times, he also has these foolish "thoughts and actions".
There's no way around it; normal supernatural beings, even gods, aren't emotionless machines.
Anything that is not an eternal and immortal machine will generate all sorts of "contradictory disadvantages".
"Alright, enough time. Now, go die." Old Pete seemed to have had enough. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Villan with one finger.
"Don't even think about succeeding." Vierlan wanted to retaliate, but before she could react, she was hit by an invisible thing that looked like a train engine.
"Bang!" She flew out.
Upon closer inspection, one could see a large hole in her stomach. Intense pain surged through her, making Villan dizzy and disoriented, as if her soul were drifting away.
"Am I going to die?" Vierlan's will went blank, only this last thought clearly surfaced. But this thought was also rapidly dissipating, turning into the purest blankness.
"Without a national-level awakened individual, no one can save you."
Old Pete said meaningfully.
“That’s right. So, I’ve come.” Suddenly, a woman’s voice came over.
Old Pete's expression changed drastically. "Impossible. According to my investigation, you national-level awakened individuals shouldn't have arrived so quickly."
It was precisely because he had been prepared that Old Pete had been so negligent earlier.
But now he's bewildered.
“Your investigation is inaccurate.” A gentle woman wearing a white mask and a long white dress appeared in front of Villan as she flew away. She reached out her slender, jade-like left hand and grabbed Villan’s waist.
The fierce impact had vanished completely. It had no effect on the woman whatsoever.
At the same time, a white light emanated from the woman, enveloping Villan's body.
Villan's physical injuries began to heal.
The will that was fading away was quickly recovering.
"Child, don't insist anymore. You can rest now," the woman in white said softly.
It seemed to possess a magical power; Vierlan completely lost consciousness in an instant.
"Damn it, damn it!" Old Pete gritted his teeth.
This savior-level genius, who was so close to being killed, survived. He felt extremely regretful about this.
"If I had known, I would have just killed her." Old Pete was on the verge of a breakdown.
Endless dark magic power leaked from his body.
"Today, I, Lergis, bestow upon you death." The woman also erupted, a pure white light leaking out, clashing with old Pete's magic.
In an instant, this world seemed to turn into black and white, constantly clashing and vying with each other.
At the same time, a white light emerged, enveloping Vierlan and rushing into the distance.
Hmm, Lergis feels that he can't get close to Vierlan when fighting Old Pete. Otherwise, he'll easily get caught in the crossfire.
That won't do.
It would be so unlucky if Vierlan died like this.
"Damn, is the fight about to start?" Loya was speechless. He felt that this Lyrgis was really inconsiderate. Didn't he see that he was still here? Was he going to kill him?
Loya felt that it would be too tragic and a great loss for him to die in the aftermath of the battle.
"Hahaha. You win." However, who knew that old Pete was shameless.
Just when everyone thought he was going to fight with all his might, he shamelessly burst into laughter and rushed towards Loya.
"This guy seems to be the father of some so-called savior. Since I can't kill her, I'll kill this guy instead." Old Pete may have sounded nice, but he was actually a bully who preyed on the weak.
"Insolence!" Lergis shouted angrily. But she made no further move, nor did she show any intention of stopping him.
Of course, this is also because old Pete was closer to Loya, and Lergis simply didn't have time to get there.
Old Pete was taken aback for a moment.
Although his target was Loya, his attention was actually focused on Lergis.
He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he sensed that Lergis was somewhat expectant, and even a little secretly pleased.
"This woman seems to have a problem? She seems to want this man dead?" An unbelievable thought popped into Old Pete's mind.
"Damn it, I'll make sure you suffer even if I die." At this moment, Loya was not idle either. He took out a small remote control and pressed the switch.
Not far away, from the wrecked mech, came the sound of "crackling".
Immediately afterwards, a pale, nuclear-level light was revealed and rapidly expanded outwards.
Well, Loya also gave himself a little trump card.
His miniature nuclear bombs can also be remotely controlled and detonated from a distance.
“Damn it, you mortal…” Old Pete was startled.
"Sigh." Lyrgis sighed inexplicably, then dodged backward and rushed into the distance.
"I'm really crazy." Old Pete didn't retreat immediately; instead, he rushed towards Loya. He reached out his large hand and grabbed Loya.
Just as Loya was resigned to his death, he discovered that Old Pete had only grabbed him, but had not crushed him to death.
Instead, it carried him frantically into the distance.
Furthermore, a dense array of magical energy formed a barrier of demonic energy, blocking everything from all directions. This prevented the nuclear light that followed closely behind from harming Loya.
"You're fucking crazy," Loya said, puzzled.
Old Pete could no longer hear Loya's voice.
The sound waves from the nuclear explosion were terrifying; even a humanoid monster of his caliber, capable of destroying a nation, couldn't handle them calmly.
The explosion finally stopped after about ten seconds.
In the same spot, there was now a much larger crater than before.
This nuclear explosion was more powerful than previous ones because it detonated not just one, but several miniature nuclear bombs.
When these effects are combined, the resulting effect is amplified significantly.
"What on earth is going on?" Fei Ke stared blankly at the newest crater.
“I don’t know either,” Sally’s voice came through.
Upon closer inspection, one can see three people enveloped in white light, hovering in mid-air. They are Vierlan, Sally, and Feike.
Sally was resting and recovering from her injuries when, before she could react, a white light descended and carried her far away. Along the way, her injuries healed completely. This made her realize that the white light was benevolent.
Fei Ke's result was similar; he was on his way when the white light appeared and quickly pulled him back.
Then, a nuclear explosion occurred, a deafening flash of light, like the Big Bang, filling his eye sockets.
If it weren't for the distance, his own extraordinary power, and the protection of the white light, he would definitely have been blinded by the brilliance of the explosion.
"Captain, what exactly happened inside? Who are your enemies? How did things turn out like this?" Fei Ke asked Sally curiously.
“I don’t know everything either; Vierlan should know better.” Sally smiled wryly. “This time, I really wasn’t very useful. Vierlan was the main attacker.”
Fei Ke was somewhat surprised, but considering Vierlan's power, it seemed quite normal.
"Oh, I almost forgot, Director Gengya is here too. Where is he? Why didn't Bai Guang save him?" Fei Ke belatedly remembered something.
Sally was stunned: "No way?"
Fei Ke's expression turned pale: "Chief..."
"Gengya sacrificed himself to destroy the demon." Lergis's voice came from not far away.
At the same time, the white light that enveloped everyone dissipated.
Sally, Fick, and Vierlan landed peacefully on the ground, making contact with the earth.
“Alas. Let us pay tribute to Gengya.” Sally’s face was full of sorrow, but she did not question or find it unacceptable.
Because, as awakened beings, they had long been prepared for death.
Fick bowed in the direction of Kane Town.
They observed a moment of silence for more than ten seconds before ending the ceremony.
"And you are?" Sally finally looked at Lergis.
She didn't know this woman.
Fei Ke didn't recognize him either.
This is normal; the world is vast, and even countries are vast.
The awakened ones are not only the government, but also various other organizations.
Therefore, they are the official Awakened Ones, but they don't know all the Awakened Ones.
However, as awakened beings who were granted power by the will of the world, their goals were the same.
That is to destroy demons and protect the world.
"I am Lergis of the Salvation Organization," Lergis introduced himself simply.
“Thank you for your help.” Sally nodded and thanked her.
"No need to thank me, this is something every Awakened One should do," Lyrgis said calmly. "I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave everything to you now. I hope you can eliminate all the monsters here." Lyrgis then took his leave.
Before Sally and Fiker could say anything, Lergis vanished on the spot.
...
"Tsk, another explosion. Luckily I ran a distance beforehand, otherwise I would definitely have been blown to bits."
At the same time, more than ten miles away, the Corpse Mother was climbing with lingering fear.
“Just because you weren’t killed in the explosion doesn’t mean you won’t die,” Lyrgis’s voice descended.
"Humans..." the Corpse Mother roared mournfully.
With a "boom," a white beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the Corpse Mother.
With a "bang," it exploded on the spot.
When the white light dissipated, a large crater more than ten meters deep was revealed.
"Now, this is the end." From the air, Lyrgis stared intently at the crater.
She didn't linger, and soon flew away again.
...
About three minutes later.
In another direction, a small patch suddenly protrudes from a patch of dry grass.
Immediately afterwards, a tender sprout emerged. And within ten seconds, it grew strong and blossomed.
"My power is the most tenacious. Even a Guardian-level Awakened One cannot kill me." The Corpse Mother's voice emanated from the flower, accompanied by a faint gray mist.
It surged out.
Even so, her aura had clearly plummeted to rock bottom.
Now, even an ordinary person could probably kill her with a regular hand grenade.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
Dawn City, the Demon Extermination Bureau.
Vierlan, who had been in a deep sleep, has now awakened.
Sally, however, became the new director, taking charge of the awakened ones in the vicinity and eliminating monsters.
Promotion, wealth, and the death of superiors—but for Sally, this was not a happy occasion.
...
"Have you found Dad?"
In the office.
Vierlan looked at Sally with red eyes.
Sally sighed helplessly. She only found out that Loya had arrived in his mech after Villan woke up.
Geng Ya sacrificed his own life, dying under the Demon-Slaying Blade, in exchange for the life of the burly demon.
However, after learning all this, Sally was completely speechless.
Because if Loya were still alive, then Lergis should have rescued him as well.
Since it hasn't come out yet, it's obviously "gone".
In truth, Vierland knew this too, but she couldn't believe it, couldn't accept it. How could her great father be dead? How could he possibly be dead?
So, as soon as she woke up, she wanted to go to Kane Town to find Loya.
However, Sally stopped them and went to contact the local army.
Yes, the army wasn't wiped out; only the elite and the first to gather died.
After the war in Kane Town ended, the site naturally needed to be cleared and the situation investigated.
And that's where those soldiers come in.
Therefore, Sally only needed to contact these soldiers to know the result; there was no need for Vierlan to make a special trip.
"I'm sorry, Vierlan, your father is really gone." Sally spoke the cruelest words in the gentlest voice.
"Ah, waah, this is impossible." Vierlan's last hope was shattered, and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face and weeping bitterly.
Sally said, "You have to learn to overcome pain and turn it into nourishment for growth, making you stronger."
Sally didn't want to say it like that, but with monsters rampant, Dawn City desperately needed manpower.
We can't let a powerful Awakened like Vierlan get away.
“I know I will become stronger. I will not let monsters kill more people. I will kill them all…” Vierlan said, crying.
After she finished speaking, her crying stopped.
