Chapter 96 God does not love the world [Thanks to the leader of the finalist]
This is an epic sung by poets. Everyone in this situation can't help but feel their hearts surge. They witnessed this scene that is almost impossible to appear in the common sense world, and the fear in their hearts also followed the display of the stunning scene.
, and spread rapidly.
It was as if a huge hole had been punched out between the heaven and the earth. Everything was swallowed up by it, rolled together, and set off angry waves. The morning light and starlight were also shattered by it, breaking into brilliant light all over the sky.
The Blood Shark and the Dawn Advance opened fire on each other, suppressing the progress of the Horntail. They were sworn enemies just a few days ago, but now they stand together because of another greater threat.
"Human beings are always like this, hating each other and killing each other. But when there is another greater threat, they often unite with their enemies. After the threat is resolved, they hate each other and kill each other again."
The epidemic doctor whispered that he had seen too many such things in his long life.
Brothers turn against each other, father and son become enemies. Human beings always seem to be like this, making mistakes and repeating reincarnation.
"Probably, human beings are both noble and despicable...Who can say this?"
Lorenzo was too lazy to think about these things. He looked at the tattered bird's beak mask and smiled inexplicably.
"But what is that, Plague Doctor, what's in the box."
The doctor picked up the safe in his hand, but did not directly answer Lorenzo's words.
"Some personal items."
"It looks very important. Even when it's life-threatening, you have to be with it."
Lorenzo stared at the safe for a while, but he didn't ask any more questions.
"Maybe in the future...even in a few hours, this thing will be in your hands, Mr. Holmes."
The epidemic doctor suddenly said, with scarlet eyes under the thick lenses.
"What is this? A gift for me. This sounds so weird."
"Hey, who knows?"
The epidemic doctor picked up the safe and gently stroked the cold metal. It seemed that he was confused and was talking nonsense.
Amidst the fire, the cannonballs landed on the Narwhal one after another, shattering the rusty metal, penetrating the deck, and in the blink of an eye it was riddled with holes.
It stands to reason that this weird iron-clad ship should have sunk, but it still stands steadily on the sea, with seawater pouring in along the damaged wounds. It has lasted for so long, and there is still no sign of dragging it into the sea.
It seems that there is an unknown force controlling the Narwhal. It has already become the spokesperson of an unknown existence, delivering divine punishment to these mortals who have entered the divine realm.
"There are demons starting to board the ship!"
Zeo shouted. Under the restless sea water, there were all those ferocious and lifeless faces. They stretched out their arms and scratched the hull of the Blood Shark, making a harsh sound.
These dead people who died in the deep sea have been awakened. In this country of the dead, there should be no breath of living people.
"They are left to you. Haven't you always longed for great achievements?"
The epidemic doctor and Lorenzo stood together. This critical situation did not seem worthy of the epidemic doctor's action. Both he and Lorenzo knew that these were just the advance team in front of them, and the real enemy was lurking under the deep sea.
sea snake.
"Is that so?"
Zeou was stunned for a moment, then smiled excitedly.
He originally wanted to hand over his last battle to that dark armor and that damn man. He humiliated himself. Fortunately, he did not die. The epidemic doctor gave him a second chance, but it was at an incomparable price.
heavy.
"It's not bad to use here."
Zeou whispered, tearing off the covering on his body, revealing his beast-like body.
I saw that Zeou's body had become like a demon, with scarlet swollen muscles, bulging bones, and slowly growing sharp claws. His body was covered with simple iron armor, which was made for him by the epidemic doctor.
Like armor, like a cage.
Among the many experimental subjects of the epidemic doctor, only Zeou survived. His strong will allowed him to survive the dark nightmare, so that mortal life, nourished by the flesh and blood of the demon, got a second chance.
.
But this does not mean that he survived. All the epidemic doctors could do was postpone Zeo's death for a few days.
The demon's flesh and blood is eroding the will of mortals, and the weirdness echoing above the Silent Sea is also affecting his mind. To be honest, Zeo's ability to maintain his sanity until now has surprised the epidemic doctor.
As Zeo actively mobilized his power, his alienation began to intensify, and soon he turned into an inhuman monster, with his face distorted and only one eye covered with bloodshot eyes remaining.
He stretched his body to his heart's content, pulling on the iron ropes on his body, and one sharp spike after another hung on Zeo's body like a spear, arming him.
His consciousness became a little hazy, as if he would be occupied by the desire to kill in the next second.
In this remnant of consciousness, Zeo looked at the soldiers beside the epidemic doctor.
"Have I seen you before? I always feel very familiar."
Zeo's voice was slightly distorted, and before the soldier could respond, he said again.
"Forget it, how is that possible? Almost everyone I know is dead."
Zeo turned around and walked towards the demons who were boarding the ship. His steps were not heavy, and could even be considered light. Water droplets clung to the cold metal, reflecting the picture of hell.
He has nothing to worry about and nothing to rely on, so he is invincible.
Lorenzo watched Zeo throw himself into the battle. He recognized Zeo. He didn't expect that this Viking would survive in the end. Zeo probably couldn't guess that the guy he looked forward to and hated the most was standing just now.
In front of him.
"That was an interesting Viking, a poor man who used his faith to deceive himself."
As the doctor spoke, he talked about Zeou again.
"When I was operating on him, he needed to stay awake and talked to me about a lot of messy things."
The Blood Shark was swaying due to the waves, and the demons had already appeared in sight. Fortunately, this ship was full of warriors transformed by secret blood. Although its strength was far from comparable to that of Lorenzo, it was still stronger than ordinary people.
, they are also too powerful.
Therefore, the demon's offensive was temporarily controlled. Before they could climb onto the deck, they were killed by the cold metal, and their bodies fell into the turbulent waves, leaving no trace.
The bombardment continued. The successive bombardments failed to destroy the Narwhal, but effectively curbed its progress. The situation seemed fierce, but due to the restrictions of the sea, the rhythm of the battle was not urgent.
The Blood Shark blocked the front of the Morning Glory Advance, taking most of the pressure on the Morning Glory Advance. This is why Lorenzo stayed here for a long time. Once the Blood Shark fell, Morning Glory
The Advance will bear all the pressure.
He had to find a way to make the Blood Shark last longer. The longer it took, the safer the Morning Glory Advance would be.
"What did he say?"
Lorenzo asked casually. Zeo alone controlled a huge area in his field of vision. All monsters that appeared in his field of vision would be killed in an instant. Blood and rain washed over his body, burning hot.
Under the body temperature, there were bursts of white air rising.
"I asked him, this is a new era, why do you still want to be a pirate?" the epidemic doctor chatted.
"The King of Ice Sea ended the civil war in the Viking kingdoms... at least the civil war on the surface, and the trade with Yin Erweg is also going on steadily. There is a stable flow of wealth and food.
, why do you still insist on being a pirate?"
"Why are you still going through this precarious life? Is it just because of your belief in the god Odin?"
Regarding faith, the doctor has always been curious about its true meaning. He once asked Lawrence, but faith had long been shattered in Lawrence's heart. As for the dead Miguel, for him, faith was just a tool of power.
Everyone seems to have faith, but no one can explain what faith actually is.
"Did you know? He's still a member of the Order of the End."
Lorenzo was a little surprised when he heard this, but he did not speak, but listened to the epidemic doctor continue to talk.
"Zeo's answer is quite interesting."
The epidemic doctor also stared at the fighting figure.
The more he kills, the more his consciousness becomes hazy and sinking. The blood and screams are accelerating Zeou's decline.
"He said... he just couldn't adapt. The only one who could tolerate him was the god Odin."
In the dim cabin, Zeo lay on the bloody operating table. The cold metal cut his body, taking away the human parts and sewing the non-human parts on top.
Zeou opened his eyes forcefully and answered the doctor's questions.
"No matter what kind of person they are, they probably all long for a place similar to their destination, right?
Ironclad ships, law, unity, strangers...these words are too unfamiliar to me.
This is a new era.
You have such things in your hands and care about interests and groups. Foolish beliefs are meaningless. Only absolute interests are real.
A person from the old age like me is incompatible with you. All I have in my mind is robbery and Odin. These things have been with me for most of my life. How can I have the courage to say that I give up and just give up on them all?
How about discarding it?"
Zeo tilted his head so that he could look directly at the epidemic doctor, but what he saw was only the beak mask, and he could not see the epidemic doctor's true face.
"You may think I'm pathetic and pity me, but what I want to say is, it's not necessary. In my opinion, you are also a bunch of pathetic people. You don't believe in God and you are not favored by God.
You are a group of desperadoes. After I die, there will be a warm Hall of Valor waiting for me, but you will have nothing."
The epidemic doctor calmly recounted the conversation with Zeou.
"It's funny, isn't it? I originally wanted to preach some truth to this ignorant Viking, but instead he laughed at me."
Lorenzo looked at the increasingly crazy figure and said slowly.
"Each of us upholds our own justice, and our hands are stained with blood. If we can easily change our minds by some big principles, then we would be too ridiculous."
He continued.
"As for the Final Society... I have met the Herald. He should be a person with the power of Gabriel just like me and Lawrence, but it is obvious that he will live longer than me and Lawrence."
Lorenzo said words that made the epidemic doctor tremble with fear.
"The meeting between the two of us in Lingbing Bay was partly caused by him. I guess what we are experiencing now is also a trap set by the pioneer. As for what he wants to do, I don't know.
.”
"Is that so? It sounds really scary. He has such terrifying power and has lived for countless years." The epidemic doctor thought, "If he really has any purpose, in these long years, he has countless
There is no clear opportunity to implement it, but why must we wait for today to get out of the shadow of history?"
"Because the end is coming. You and Lawrence have been together for so long. Didn't he tell you this?"
The sense of fate in Lorenzo's heart became stronger and stronger.
The world has entered a certain moment, so the forgotten monsters have dug their own graves, crawled back from the depths of memory, and joined this grand carnival.
"Epidemic doctor, I can share some information with you, but..."
Lorenzo wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the doctor. Although he couldn't see the doctor's expression, Lorenzo could feel the conflict between greed and indifference from him.
"I actually already know what the 'truth' of the world is?" The epidemic doctor let out a terrifying laugh, "I'm not kidding, Mr. Holmes."
"The reason why I came here is to see it with my own eyes, and I want to verify whether my guess is correct.
Maybe I know more about these than you do, do you want to hear it?"
Lorenzo stared at the epidemic doctor, with gray fire rolling in his eyes. After a long pause, he answered.
"No, I have worked hard for so long to get to this point. I want to open the surprise gift box with my own hands instead of being told by others and losing this sense of surprise and accomplishment."
"Really?" the epidemic doctor asked.
"False, I don't believe you, epidemic doctor. To be precise, I only believe my eyes. I won't believe anyone's words until I witness it with my own eyes."
If Lorenzo was really so easily convinced, he would have joined Lawrence's legion long ago to fight against the doomsday.
But Lorenzo didn't believe it, he didn't believe anything. During this long chase, he had clearly realized that the world was shrouded in lies one after another. Who knew the truth known by the epidemic doctor?
Will it be another lie?
The only thing Lorenzo can trust is the weapon in his hand, and himself.
"God does not love the world any more than man loves his domestic animals."
The epidemic doctor said calmly, as if he had a premonition of something. He raised his hand and took off the dull beak mask, exposing the scarlet and distorted head directly to the air.
"He is so powerful that it is difficult for mortals to understand his existence."
Countless snake-like tentacles climbed on the bloody flesh, and they were entangled together to form the body of the plague doctor.
"It is difficult for mortals to defeat Him... When humans cannot defeat a being, what will humans do, Mr. Holmes?"
"Submit to Him, believe in Him, and regard this abominable and incomprehensible existence as a god."
Lorenzo followed the words of the epidemic doctor and continued.
"But when humans have the ability to kill Him, humans begin to regard Him as their enemy. If you think about it carefully, what is the difference between demons and gods? It's just that demons are not as powerful as gods to make us surrender."
The epidemic doctor showed a ferocious smile and said with some profound meaning.
"Just like why beasts that eat humans must be killed.
When these beasts eat humans, they realize that humans who are extremely powerful in their eyes, humans who master fire and steel, are so fragile under their sharp claws that they can even be easily killed and devoured."
The flesh and blood on his face was squirming, and it could be seen that this was the embodiment of Power Yanar. This tenacious vitality was given to the epidemic doctor, allowing him to endure cruel operations again and again.
The epidemic doctor seemed to be telling a terrible secret, telling it as if it would cause some disaster, so he could only commit himself to these strange, fable-like words.
"Well Mr. Holmes, another question.
Do you empathize with other people?”
The wind and waves became more and more fierce, and the distance between the Narwhal and the Blood Shark became closer and closer. The light in the distant sky also became stronger, but it was obscured by the storm. The stars also changed with the arrival of day.
It felt bleak, as if everything was coming to an end.
"Will do."
Lorenzo replied that it was precisely because of his ability to empathize that he became more like a human being rather than a cold weapon, which frightened Lorenzo and pleased him at the same time.
"So can you empathize with livestock?" the epidemic doctor asked.
"Won't."
Lorenzo did not hesitate. After all, humans are different from beasts. He could pity the beasts, but it was not clear that they had shaken the status of humans.
"Yes, then why do some people think that gods can empathize with humans?"
The doctor looked at the Narwhal approaching in the distance. It was close enough that even artillery fire and wind and waves could not stop its progress.
It was also at this time that Lorenzo finally saw the appearance of the Narwhal clearly. He saw bloody vines between the broken steel. Inside the Narwhal, it seemed that a life of flesh and blood was being nurtured.
It is precisely because of its existence that these broken steel can be reorganized again and again.
Countless arms rose from under the waves, and they seemed to be lifting the ship toward the end of the world.
Amidst the boiling and restlessness, distant thunder sounded, but it did not come from the storm, but from under the deep sea.
Lorenzo looked under the sea. The soldiers' faces were reflected on the sea, and the fireworks in the soldiers' eyes were also reflected on the sea. However, the fireworks continued to expand, and in the blink of an eye they were like huge fireballs.
Then the blazing white light group was misplaced.
Two pairs of blazing white pupils were misplaced in the reflection on the sea, but one of them was so huge, and it was still burning and growing in size.
The endless chill choked Lorenzo's breath.
That's not his reflection, that's His eyes.
"God does not love the world."
The epidemic doctor said again, and his voice was covered by the roaring sound of cannons. A red light track crossed the sea and hit the Narwhal. The instantaneous high temperature completely melted the hull and penetrated it. Tons of blood spurted out and mixed into the sea water.
