The snowflakes were almost shapeless, and looked like rain. Even because most people did not raise their heads to look at the familiar sky, almost everyone in Harrison Harbor thought it was just an ordinary light rain.
But then, there was a huge downpour of snow, alarming everyone.
The leaden sky was gloomy and gloomy, the clouds were twisted and squirming, as if there was a huge thing looming behind, and the indescribable aura spread, as if it heralded some indescribable sign.
The warm velvet snow melts when it comes into contact with the human body, but what is left is not a trace of water, but a pool of slightly slippery mucus.
Because of this heavy snow, the air is filled with a vague metallic smell, mixed with a hint of sweetness like nectar. This should be the unique high-nutrient secretion of some kind of metallic giant mushroom, but now it has condensed It turned into warm frost and white snow, falling on the entire Harrison Port.
The viscous liquid is like a carpet, covering the entire land and jungle, full of vitality.
The sky was encroached by the vast and heavy snow, and the moist and wild south wind was blowing to the north. While everyone was still wondering, it had already crossed Harrison Port and flowed in the direction of Trois-Rivières and even Nauman City.
"Elan, what's going on? I suddenly sensed an extremely terrible crisis?!"
In the church, an even older man hurriedly came to the door. Bishop Baiwu's whole body was filled with a white mist that seemed to be materialized. The second energy level's unique 'Essence Release' and 'Will Shaping' were already in his hands. To reach the realm of transformation, he does not need any special abilities. He can defeat ordinary second energy levels simply by relying on his own source of energy.
But even though he was such a strong man, he still felt fear.
"This snow...isn't normal!"
Raising his head, the old man frowned, stretched out his hand, grabbed into the air, and collected large clumps of snow velvet that had not yet melted.
Next, a blue light lit up in his eyes, apparently using spiritual power to observe the 'secrets' in these velvets.
This observation made him stand there in astonishment.
What appeared in Bishop Baiwu's eyes was not snow at all...but clusters of 'mycelium' gathered together in groups!
No, it's not just mycelium either.
Under the vision blessed by spiritual energy, he could see that these 'snowflakes' that looked like mold hyphae were still waving their ciliated tentacles. They beat the surrounding air, allowing them to drift unsteadily in the air. On the earth where many lives gather, instead of landing in a deserted stone forest or beach wilderness.
After landing, these unknown life forms dissolved in the water and looked like a small ball of mucus... But in fact, in this mucus, there were countless tiny transparent ciliated worms, which were stirring rapidly.
"ah!"
A sharp scream appeared on the other side of the street, and the intense pain seemed to materialize.
The old man suddenly raised his head and looked towards the street.
A few streets away, a woman from the Red People who was shielding herself from the rain with a basket in her hand suddenly had a fierce response, like a burning flame. Red and blue blood vessels were bulging on her chest and abdomen. It was as if some foreign body was spreading under the skin, and the muscles were squirming, ugly and ferocious.
At first, the woman could still scream, but the next second, she stopped making sounds, but raised her head and looked to the other side, where other ordinary people were staring at her in fear.
A strange red source of light flashed in her eyes, and veins spread from her eyes and forehead, and then spread all over her body.
Buzz——
Invisible psychic energy waves swept half the street.
Immediately, the scalps of the ordinary people around them suddenly exploded, and a feeling of paralysis ran through their bodies like lightning. But even though fear made the hairs on their arms and behind them stand up, they still could not take a step. Their whole bodies were like
He stood there as hard as lead.
Longwei - or in other words, fear halo!
The figure of the woman who was obviously not right disappeared from the same place. Her movements suddenly became extremely agile, as if she was a different person. When she reappeared, she was rushing towards a middle-aged man who was taking shelter from the rain with his child.
Her speed was extremely fast, and she struck like a cannonball. With such a collision, even if there were no other means, the man and the child would be hit with broken bones and tendons, not to mention that the tips of the woman's fingers were faintly lit up with a faint red color.
Blade awn.
She was able to mobilize the essence to shape and attack.
Although it is just burning one's own life and overdrawing it, it is scary enough.
Time slowed down here, and a look of horror slowly appeared on the man's face. He could not stop the other party, and he could not imagine why the gentle woman he was familiar with would suddenly turn into such a monster and attack him. He had no time to think about all this.
The reason behind it.
But there are others who can.
Peng!
A white stream of light flashed, and the red-haired woman immediately flew backwards. Her entire body was tilted, as if her spine had been shattered. She curled up like a shrimp and hit the wall nearby, causing the house to tremble slightly.
Bishop Baiwu stood on the spot. He helped the frightened man up from the ground, and then urged him to go home quickly to take shelter from the rain. The old man turned his head and looked in the direction of the red-haired woman.
——It is no longer the original source of essence and spiritual energy... The Life Flame has completely changed into a different person.
This person was devoured by the parasite in just ten seconds of rain!
But under the old man's gaze, the red-haired woman, whose spine was obviously broken by the kick, struggled to crawl for a while.
If it were a human being, it would definitely be unstable, but that would not be the case for a monster that is not afraid of pain.
The woman's eyes were shining with red fluorescence. This monster used a human body and could not move much no matter how hard it struggled. After realizing this, it let out another sharp howl.
Immediately afterwards, under Bishop Baiwu's astonished gaze, the monster in the shape of a red-haired woman... the body collapsed instantly and turned into a pool of translucent, vaguely orange-red blood color...
Mucus.
Like moss, like carpet, mucus.
In the mucus, a skeleton has lost its vitality, and in the clumps of internal organs that are still melting, there are countless small insects slowly squirming.
"Level 1 Biohazard!"
Even though he is a holy priest, the old man feels that his heart is beating violently, which is a feeling he has never felt since his 'death' and 'rebirth'.
"Full alert!"
Bishop Baiwu immediately roared loudly, letting his voice turn into a wave that spread throughout Harrison Port: "Ayers, hurry up and drive the ether weapon! This is a first-class biological crisis, and I will immediately call Archbishop Tianyan to come and purify it.
Port Harrison!”
"If you don't want your territory to be burned down by fire from the sky, stop this warm snow quickly!!"
Ten seconds later, Viscount Grant drove the ether-armed blue Swift Shadow and flew towards the iron-gray lead cloud in the sky with a shrill sonic boom. The power of the abyssal lizard whale had reached the third level.
The thick clouds and fog began to disperse.
After a while, the entire sky was completely empty, and the originally dense snowflakes had become much sparser.
"Elan, come into the church quickly...Elan?"
Turning his head, Bishop Baiwu wanted his disciples to return to the church quickly and avoid getting contaminated by this weird snow, but he found that the white-haired boy stretched out his hand blankly and let the snowflakes fall into his palm.
The fine velvet touched the young man's snow-white skin and melted into one almost instantly. It melted, got close, invaded, and finally penetrated into the palm of his hand and merged into the blood...
"elder brother……"
The young man whispered to himself, clenched his palms, and smiled gently.
The familiar temperature, the familiar breath... everything familiar has returned.
--He is back.
With this heavy snow comes the prelude of an era.
And the end of an era.
