When the new moon rises in the darkest moment of the night sky,
"Shadow" can enchant gods.
——Believers of "Disgusting Shadow"
"So, how should I defeat it?"
When the "disgusting shadow" returned to the gray fog, Lin Shuwen in the alley clenched the "shadow" sword that emerged from the shadow.
"I have no idea."
But regarding this question, Chiwa, the "encyclopedia" who always answers every question, raised his hand.
"Although this guy who combines "Nasty Shadow" and "Jack the Ripper" is not a standard incarnation of an alien god, and you are far higher than him in terms of existence level, but due to his origin and characteristics, he can currently hurt
There was little in his approach.”
"I'm just a special human being."
For some reason, when he heard that his existential class was higher than that of the "disgusting shadow", Lin Shuwen instinctively felt a little unhappy.
No, it was more like aversion to a certain identity definition hidden in words, just like when Naia desperately regarded herself as her "brother" and the outer god "darkness" in words.
"Why deceive yourself? Lin Shuwen, especially in this situation, your specialness hides the possibility of turning defeat into victory. You can save these people, and even save the third lady. Why do you insist on stubbornly and selectively ignore your own existence?"
Woolen cloth?"
A blue-black light flashed in Qianhe's pupils, the gray fog trembled, and the sound of armor clashing began to echo outside the alley.
The hunter seems to have found a new prey.
"..."
Lin Shuwen couldn't refute, he couldn't even answer this question. As a person with a kind nature and a dedicated personality, between "you only need to make sacrifices yourself" and "you can save others, others will be injured because of your own mistakes and incompetence"
Under the two premises of "people".
He actually hesitated.
However, he also knew very clearly what consequences would result if he chose "convenience" and the "simple" method.
Compared with the bloody killing, the most powerless and despairing thing is the cannibalization.
"Let's change the topic."
"No, I am really curious about this question. Even though you are an alien god, you can still live on this planet like Naiya."
"Not to mention whether I can become an Outer God with just a thought like a certain hero in a tokusatsu film. I only know that after becoming an Outer God, I will definitely regret it at a certain moment when I am unable to prevent the mutation.
, dissipated powerlessly and hopelessly.”
Lin Shuwen looked at the hilt of the "Shadow" sword, his eyes filled with scenes from his dreams.
"The future is uncertain. Human beings and creatures will eventually change their thoughts and perceptions over time. It's like you were afraid of killing when you were a child, but when you grow up, you are used to taking lives."
"No, I've known since I was a child that I'm not a good person. Ever since I was a child, I've known that I would get excited about killing and cruelty."
Lin Shuwen grinned, and Qianhe stared at his scarlet pupils in shock. Looking at himself in those clear pupils, he suddenly shuddered.
Really, the thing hidden in the eyes of the man in front of me is enough to make me feel scared and timid. That is... that is only... As expected, he is really...
"Qianhe, what I stick to is the reason why I don't want to simply become an alien god. I can't tell it in words or... things that humans can quickly understand. Maybe I am also changing with time.
As time goes by, gradually perfect the existence of that thing."
"Maybe I understand a little bit, but I don't understand a little bit."
"Then let's be realistic. If it comes to a time when I have to use the power of an alien god, I will use it."
"Even if this means the beginning of external deification?"
"Who knows, maybe I can protect this "heart", although I don't know exactly what it looks like."
"But no matter what..."
Qianhe lowered his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and then put on a smile.
It was a smile from the heart, but why did Lin Shuwen feel like he had been tricked?
"So back to the topic, since the opponent is a powerless monster, we have only one decision, right?"
"Well, then you take them out of here, and I'll go find the remaining "Shadow Kill" members."
Although escaping is shameful, it is the most effective method in various situations. Especially in the current situation, although we are unable to deal with the "disgusting shadow", we can safely avoid it.
Originally, my mission was to rescue these "shadow-killing" reconnaissance troops, rather than to eliminate or annihilate the enemy's existence. Strategically speaking, as long as I could get these people out, my mission would be accomplished.
If you give up an opportunity that cannot be effectively implemented, trying to be stubborn will only lead to a broken head.
"Then you go find the others first, bring them safely to the barrier here, and wait for me to come and transport them, okay?"
"Can."
After confirming his purpose, Lin Shuwen recalled the vigilant Zang Yue beside him into his own body, took the dispelling spell card handed over by Qianhe, and rushed out of the alley alone, chasing the sound of the armor.
In the alley, Qianhe quietly watched Lin Shuwen go away, and the silvery-white light that originally enveloped her gradually turned into blue-purple.
"Then, let's go to a safe place?"
She turned around, her dark red eyes flashing in the gray mist, and the "Shadow Kill" team members beside the wall suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"Click..."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Qianhe" smiled and noticed the movement of the soldier fidgeting with the dagger on his thigh, and his voice began to have obvious female characteristics.
"Run!"
The sound of shouting echoed in the alley, and the "Shadow Killer" warrior who broke his left elbow suddenly rose from the ground, holding a dagger behind his back and stabbed "Qianwa" in the eyes.
The large-scale movements activated the leg mechanisms, flashes, tear gas, smoke, induced explosions... He detonated all the interference throwing objects he had around himself, and instantly formed a nearly
Closed interference space.
Under his shouts, the only moveable "Shadow Killer" warrior with half of his shoulder cut off successfully escaped from the alley and ran wildly in the direction Lin Shuwen left.
This is the only option to salvation!
"So, what are the good things about human beings?"
A blue-black light flashed past, and the space filled with various disturbing substances dissipated together with the gray fog that could not be removed. A very clean area appeared on the entire street.
Or, a relatively clean area.
"Ahem...you..."
The palm covered with blood and visceral fragments penetrated the center of the warrior's bones, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth, just like the strength and life he was gradually losing.
But he is still earning
He gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth when he saw the true appearance of "Qianhe".
(Must, must tell Mr. "Dagger"...)
"I won't let you tell him..."
"..."
"Qianhe" raised the corner of his mouth, and moved the fingers that penetrated his back a few times. Then, the body of the "Shadow Killer" warrior suddenly exploded with countless disgusting worm-like protrusions, squirming,
It also trembled along with his body.
"Would you like to make a promise? You, and you."
"!"
In the shocked eyes of the "Shadow Kill" warriors, the companion who had just ran out suddenly appeared behind "Qianhe".
No, he was wrapped up by a "dark dweller" and came here...
"Of course, it's okay if you don't agree..."
"Click!"
As if the sound of blood vessels bursting flashed through the alley, "Qianhe" pulled out his hand and watched the two people who were out of control of him and the "dark dweller" walking like zombies towards the wall where they were originally staying, his eyes were blank.
The corners of the mouth were bleeding.
"Then, let's go to a safe place?"
Blue-black butterflies emerged from all directions and enveloped the entire alley in an instant. With the sound of broken bricks and stones, the original refuge became a site of "attack by tentacles".
And directly in front of the street, in the section of the villa where Naia Daughter of Swollen lives, the incarnation of an alien god holding a fan is waiting for the humans who have returned to a safe place.
There were five people in total, four "Shadow Killer" warriors, and a seriously injured wizard, Chiwa.
In the gray mist, bright red pupils floated to the front of the swollen girl.
"Do you know what to do?"
"Know."
"Then, I'll leave first."
"Aren't you going to stay? Maybe, he will reach a stage beyond our expectations."
"That's your business."
The bright red pupils disappeared into the gray mist. Naia, the Swollen Daughter, raised her slightly lowered upper body and turned to look at the nine humans behind her.
"So, let's get started."
Darkness rose, and nine "dark residents" condensed from the gray mist. Then, they compressed and transformed, and walked into the nine human beings who should appear tonight.
Then, he integrated his body into their bodies.
"Well……"
The murmur of awakening from coma gradually sounded behind Naia, the Swollen Daughter. She covered her face and smiled, and the gaping mouth was densely packed with tiny mouths and tentacles, full of horror that made people lose their senses.
But then, her figure disappeared into the gray mist.
Instead, there was the sound of approaching armor and the sound of weapons clashing.
According to this, Lin Shuwen, who finally caught up with the "disgusting shadow" in hundreds of meters of gray fog, stopped in front of a villa door. Through the shadow, he could clearly see four humans hiding in the house.
But in front of him, the "disgusting shadow" had condensed into shape, standing with a knife, but stopped in progress because of the white light emitting around his body.
He just slashed at Lin Shuwen with his sword from a short distance or near, trying to change his position with the heavy sword so that he could avoid the light and enter the villa.
However, due to his body materialization, Lin Shuwen used his dragon form to confront him directly, and defended the villa to the death.
