The ancient Usak lowered his head and watched the two tentacles passing through his body. He felt as if everything about him was being sucked away by the pair of tentacles, pouring into Ophelia's body continuously.
.
"Sorry, Usak." Ophelia showed a regretful expression, "But even absorbing Cassim's power is not enough. I am only one step away from the perfect body. Those humans may catch up every moment.
We're here, but we don't have time."
"I understand, Lady Ophelia."
A smile appeared on Usak's weak face.
"I always disappoint you, I know," he murmured, "I'm so useless that I can't do anything else. So at least, let me...finally
Let it be your strength for once.”
Ophelia said nothing, but the expression she looked at him became a little more subtle.
...
Ten minutes later, now.
boom!
It was like the earth suddenly self-destructed, the strata were blown open, and the cyclone carried dust and spread.
Immediately afterwards, the huge body of Usak, who was beaten to the ground by them, disappeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It did not dissipate and disintegrate like when the Ancient One was defeated, but disappeared out of thin air as if the image had stopped broadcasting.
An illusion.
"Impossible." Agent Duan Lan showed a look of astonishment. "It clearly has a physical voice, so it should be real. How is it possible..."
A strange laugh came from the disappearing phantom.
"Because I have surpassed Ursak, the human being. I inherited his power, but it is far stronger than him. The illusions I create are more exquisite and cannot be distinguished by listening."
As if walking out of the void, Ophelia transformed from a phantom into a real entity and stood in front of everyone.
She glanced at everyone present with disdain.
"When I asked you to identify the so-called 'body' through sound before, it was just to test whether I could do it. In other words, you can hear it only if I let you hear it."
Layla also stopped, hovering in mid-air, and looked at Ophelia.
"So, it's all an illusion? I guess that unfortunate guy Usak is gone?"
"Yes, he has never used it before, and it only played such a small role for me in the end." Ophelia smiled lightly, "I was just experimenting with the new power and getting familiar with it.
But in fact, from the moment you noticed my location, Usak was already gone."
"You devoured them, Usak and Qasim," Layla said. "You absorbed his power and accelerated your own progress."
"Yes, thanks to them, I am complete now."
Ophelia smiled, as if she had inadvertently revealed part of her current strength. In the eyes of everyone, her graceful body seemed to have suddenly grown taller, and the huge pressure made every breath feel instantly heavy.
several times.
"You succeeded, congratulations." Layla said calmly, "Then what? Do you really feel like you have become complete? Have you really found the missing part? Like...the soul?"
Ophelia's smile froze.
"That's not important." Her voice was a bit colder, and at the same time, the pressure everyone felt from her seemed to continue to increase, "I am immortal, and I will have plenty of time to consider this kind of problem in the future.
But you? Your time is over."
Before she could finish speaking, Layla had already launched an attack. She spread her wings and quickly rose into the air, the flames piercing Ophelia like an arrow missing.
Ophelia stood there, keeping her strange chuckle motionless. The hurricane rolled up, and the air flow spread like invisible walls under her thoughts, and at the same time, a ball of Tis shield material came out of her body.
The flames fired by Layla seemed to hit a transparent barrier, and were cut in half before they even touched the shell of the Tis shield. The powerful flames that distorted the space bombarded the shell of the Tis shield, leaving not even a trace of burning traces.
imprint.
Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.
Layla's flame control power has been measured by the madhouse during this period. Its strength once made researchers think it was an ancient monster. The team members present had heard about it to some extent and knew that she was
As an ancient being who is good at output, his destructive power is so powerful.
But even a blow like this couldn't even leave a scratch on the opponent's defense.
And you must know that Layla has already appeared in her true form, while Ophelia is still in human form!
The current actual combat and testing have also fed back the same results. The ancients maintaining human form not only facilitates their integration into the environment, but this state will also greatly suppress their own strength. That is why it is difficult for the radar of the 9th Office to detect their energy reactions.
.
But even in a suppressed state, she easily blocked Layla's attack.
Of course Layla knew that this was not only because the purity of the complete Opheliatis shield had reached its highest level, but also because Ophelia had her own set of special defense methods.
The Tis shield she released was divided into three sections, with a slight buffer layer between each two layers. The air flow she operated almost adhered to the surface of each buffer structure, like layers of air cushions, perfectly integrated into the
In the structure of the Tis shield, she built the strongest Tis shield defense system uniquely created by her, which is difficult to penetrate regardless of temperature or impact.
The other people didn't stand still and immediately took action.
The red-clothed phantom was the fastest. At the moment Ophelia was attracted by the flames, she had already circled behind Ophelia, and her figure suddenly turned into an afterimage and shot out.
But Ophelia stood calmly on the spot, not only not moving but even turning her head. The red-clothed phantom paused as if it hit an invisible barrier midway, and then flew backwards far away as if spontaneously.
Also approaching at the same moment was Shadow. Taking advantage of the cover of his teammates, he successfully rushed to Ophelia's side and punched her in the side of the face with almost all his strength.
But the ancient man didn't react at all, and completely swallowed the punch with his bullet-breaking face. Wherever the punch touched, his ability was activated, and it exploded with a bang, but the airflow and impact seemed to have eyes.
The ground all flew back towards the shadow, blasting the phantom away in a panic, but Ophelia still stood there motionless.
"After all these years," Ophelia chuckled, "human beings are still as noisy as ever."
She snapped her fingers.
In an instant, the entire venue was filled with sand and rocks. The transparent whirlwind was like thousands of troops under her control, and thousands of indestructible sharp blades were hidden in the storm.
The ground was left riddled with scratches, the surrounding reinforced concrete was smashed to pieces, trees and lampposts were cut in half, and were swept up into the sky by the storm.
With just a snap of his fingers, in the blink of an eye, the entire team was in disarray. Some people were covered under the gravel, as if scratched by wind blades, and some were hit by the wind and were blown away. If it weren't for them,
The body has a unique constitution, strong vitality and can heal itself. At this time, casualties are likely to have occurred.
"What the hell," Luo Yajun cursed and stretched out a hand from the ruins, barely crawling out half of his body, "What kind of monster?"
"Hey, hey, this is not on the same level as the last time we met!" This was Shadow shouting to Felix.
Everyone has also discovered that this is not at the same level as the infected people they have fought against before...no, not even the other ancient ones that appeared before.
What is even more terrifying is that she is even in human form.
It would be even more unimaginable if the real body appeared.
"Is this...the complete Ancient One?" Agent Duan Lan murmured.
Although they had all heard from Layla that the perfection of the ancient being was completely different from what it is now, no matter how they heard it, it was not as direct as experiencing it in person.
A formidable force.
The next second, the ground was suddenly melted through. The pillar of fire under Ophelia's feet erupted into the sky, swallowing her whole like an erupting volcano.
But it still doesn't work.
When the pillar of fire dissipated, everyone saw an egg-like thing floating in the air. The defense system of this shield protected Ophelia in all directions without any blind spots, and she was unscathed from the inside out.
Ophelia slowly raised her hand, spread her fingers, and pointed in the direction of Layla flying through the air.
The next second, Leila's whole body tensed up, and she felt as if she was grabbed by an invisible hand.
It's the wind.
The airflow passing her at high speed was like an extension of Ophelia's hands and feet, catching her in the air.
Layla felt as if she was tied by a chain, and her wings were too stiff to move. Then an unparalleled strange force suddenly pulled her downwards.
The huge flying creature fell, dragging a colorful trajectory and hitting the ground with a bang.
"What an irony. In the end, the last ones left are you and me."
Ophelia walked towards her slowly.
"You have always been unable to learn to obey. You have always been capable. To be honest, I have always admired you for this. The problem is that you always like to think wildly."
Leila did not speak, but continued to struggle. Multiple air currents tied her to the ground like transparent chains. She exerted great strength, and the temperature of her whole body continued to soar. The cement and steel bars under her body were melted by her high temperature.
, but still to no avail.
"It's a pity that we can't go to the end together. But... eh?"
The sound rang out, deafening music, it sounded like... pop music.
Everyone was stunned, and all their eyes turned to the Special Service Division 9 fighter jet that crashed not far away.
Someone hijacked its speaker and used it to play pop music.
boom!
The moment Ophelia's attention was attracted, a string of missiles fell from the sky from the completely opposite direction, exploding with a bang exactly in the direction where she was standing!
A red-gold steel shadow cut through the sky, and Iron Man swooped down.
