Chapter 204: Lonely
"Since a long time ago, you guys have been fighting alone, so they all failed, swallowed by the deep loneliness, and became withered bones that no one cared about on the road."
Faust's uppercut was not fully delivered when he was intercepted by Nexus first, and in the process of waving his hand to attack, the Storm Sword popped out, drawing sparks on Faust's chest.
But the Storm Sword, which was extremely sharp in the past, lost its effect in this attack and was unable to break through the armor on Faust's chest.
Nexus understood that this was the alien beast's ability to learn and evolve. Faust had been injured by the Storm Sword and was very aware of the sharpness of the storm sword, so he used the alien beast factor to transform into his own body.
After that, a part of the defense was specialized to resist the damage of the Storm Sword.
This is the most terrifying thing about the alien beasts, and it is also the reason why Nexus will not let the alien beasts develop themselves even after death.
"I said, now I know you better than you imagined." Not only the Storm Sword, but also Nexus' other tricks, Faust also read them through the information given by Masaki.
perhaps.
Faust also had to admit that the source was much stronger than the red youth Nexus he dealt with.
If you use your past impressions against him now without knowing anything, you will only suffer the consequences.
Just like myself who was beaten violently by Nexus before.
But things are different now. With enough understanding, it is much easier to formulate tactics.
"When you specialize against me, it only shows that you are afraid of me and afraid of dying in my hands again." The Storm Sword failed for the first time, but Nexus was not surprised.
He had anticipated this.
Is there any way in this world that will never fail?
You think everyone can spark the legend.
"No, I'm just telling you that your seniors were just as powerless when facing me." Faust clenched his fist in his hand, struck it on the blade of his arm, and successfully ejected it.
, forming the Devil's Claw.
This is something he didn't have before.
"Your battles, achievements, and even the reason why you turned on the red form are all based on the premise that you have comrades, partners, and people who believe in you." He raised his arm slightly and floated.
Shide took action boldly, and the devil's claws fired out dark energy to attack Nexus, but Nexus bent his arm blade to block it.
"You are lucky to have all this, but when you lose it all and are alone, can you still be so invincible?"
"From another level, you are afraid of fighting alone, afraid that you can't do it alone, or even win."
"You are doubting whether you can go on. You are so lonely that you can't even find the right path!"
"This is the reason for the failure of generations of your predecessors, and it is also the reason for everything you have witnessed."
"You also understand that after the Earth Defense Corps was destroyed, each team fought independently. Before you were selected by the light, the nine people in your team were fighting against the alien beasts. In the end, you were the only one left to die."
"You, the last one to die, were determined to detonate explosives and blow up high-rise buildings, but at the last moment you were chosen by light and came here."
"You have experienced the despair of watching your teammates die, and you have also experienced the powerlessness of facing dozens of Pedrons alone."
"What you fear from the bottom of your heart and resist is loneliness."
Nexus did not speak, but launched Mach Movement and came to Faust. The sword of the storm cut off Faust's head and fell towards Faust's unprotected shoulder.
But Faust does not want to continue fighting with Nexus now.
Nexus, whose weakness has been found, is no longer the one he fears.
Why go up and fight with an opponent who can defeat them with words and manipulate their mentality?
"What, I've touched the most painful place in your heart, are you anxious?" Faust's creature face showed a mocking smile: "So guess what I was doing during the time you disappeared.
What has the world done?”
"You guy..." Nexus had a bad feeling in his heart. There were so many things Faust could do. If he took action against the Victory Team...
No, there is also Xibi Gang to help them...
"Enjoy the gift I gave you, called the end of despair." Faust's body was hidden in the darkness, and the Meta Realm could not stop him from leaving, allowing him to successfully escape from this world.
"When you witness everything, I will come and take your life, which was full of despair at that time."
…
After hurriedly canceling the transformation, Yuanquan immediately went to Sedic Technology Company, only to find that the place was already deserted.
The huge Sedic didn't even have a guard.
Masaki Keigo is not here, and neither is Dagu.
But when Yuanquan left there and headed to the ground headquarters, he saw the streets and urban areas that were severely damaged. The crisscrossing ravines on the ground were all hinting at something.
After finding Zongfang who was directing the overall situation at the scene, Yuanquan also received bad news, that is, Dagu had lost contact. In other words, Dagu was missing.
Yuanquan clenched his fists and extracted light energy to search for Dagu's current location, but it turned out to be nothing.
Yuanquan began to assist in disaster relief and returned home after a busy day.
Lying on the bed, he looked at the light and fell into an unexpected silence.
He even fell asleep in a daze and had a very terrible nightmare.
In the dream, alien beasts developed in this world and once again spread throughout the world, plunging the planet into sinking darkness. Both the winning team and their own team members all died from the infection.
Even his comrade Dagu turned into a stone statue after exhausting his energy.
Left alone, Nexus stood alone in front of the darkness, facing all the difficulties that came his way.
Yuanquan woke up from his dream. He looked around with sweat on his face, looking a little confused.
The ticking sound of the clock is steady and rhythmic, but it makes Yuanquan feel impatient for no reason.
After waking up with a start, he no longer felt sleepy. Yuanyuan turned on the TV and tortured himself until dawn, dragging his tired body to work.
When I entered the activity room of Team 6, I found that except for Nakajima, the other three people, including Kibi Gosuke, were not there.
After asking Nakajima, I found out that all three of them had taken sick leave and were all sick at home.
Obviously everyone was going on a mission together the day before yesterday...
A layer of haze was buried in Yuanquan's heart, and Faust's confident and vicious words rang in his heart over and over again, making Yuanquan unable to stop thinking about it.
When Yuanquan was about to get off work, he went to see how Xibi Gangsuke was doing.
He accepted the mission and prepared to patrol alone, but when he passed the medical department, he encountered Xincheng coming out of it.
Yuanquan greeted Xincheng and learned that the victory team still found no trace of Dagu. Not only that, Zongfang also asked for sick leave today, and Xincheng appeared in the medical department because he came to visit Zongfang.
Yuanquan said goodbye to Xincheng with a forced smile, the burden on his heart getting heavier and heavier.
Is this just a coincidence, or is it the revenge mentioned by Faust?
After thinking for a long time, Yuanquan stood in front of Munakata's ward. Before he even knocked on the door, Yuanquan felt that the evolution truster in his chest began to emit a faint light.
The gesture of preparing to knock on the door suddenly stopped.
What does this mean?
Why does the Evolutionary Truster flash?
Is it really as simple as Munakata being sick?
Yuanquan opened the door. In the ward, Mayumi and the conductor were all there. After seeing Yuanquan, they even greeted her warmly.
With many worries on his mind, Yuanquan sat in front of Munakata's hospital bed and grabbed Munakata's arm without even caring about Mayumi's eyes.
The light energy circulated by the source was transmitted to Munakata's body through the contact parts. It was at this time that the hidden alien beast factor suffered a devastating blow and was eliminated from Munakata's body.
…Sure enough, it’s not as simple as getting sick.
After bidding farewell to Munakata and Mayumi, as the two looked at each other in bewilderment, Gensen left without looking back and out of their sight.
It was obviously a crowded ground headquarters, with walking team members passing by, but even though he was among the crowd, Yuanquan still felt a coldness coming from behind, making him shudder.
If Munakata is like this, what about Kibi Gosuke, Koda, and Ryo?
Are they like this too?
There is also Dagu.
Did the missing Dagu just become confused and left the team like in the original work?
