"I won't allow you to do this!" Lucy took a step forward and said, "If you want to attack Allen, you have to kill me. But as long as you touch a finger of mine, your Federation will definitely pursue this matter to the end. "
As the empress of Adahua Planet, Lucy still had some weight. If it was anyone else, they would probably have retreated. Even if he was eager to kill Allen, he could only change the time and place. However, Catherine stood up and opened her hand. The Scorpion Spear Snake Sickle jumped into her hand. The Major General's two strange-colored ponytails fluttered without any wind, and a murderous aura rushed towards Lucy. Instantly, the bonfire in front of her was suppressed by her aura to the point that the flames were incomparably dim.
"I don't care" Catherine said softly.
She didn't even care about Lucy's identity. Everyone knew that there was no other way to dispel her thoughts. Belmore's night hunter patterns lit up, and two sparkling red ribbons of light sprayed out from behind his shoulders like cloaks. Regis, on the other hand, raised his head and slightly lowered his center of gravity, as if he was about to attack with all his might.
The atmosphere in the mine was suffocating, and even the headhunters locked in the mine were no longer as desperate as before. At the moment when the battle began, Allen gently pushed Lucy away and walked forward, appearing in the dim light of the fire. Allen smiled bitterly at Catherine and said, "Looks like the general is determined to get me. How about this, the natives inside are still waiting for Castellan Rock Base to send someone to receive them. Lucy and the others can't leave the mine, so I'll go with you. "
"Whatever you want." Catherine put away her murderous aura and dragged her spear sickle away. "If you plan to escape, you should know what will happen."
"I know."
Allen turned around and said, "Just like I said, you guys stay here and wait for the base to come and receive it. I'll go with her."
"No, you're not her match alone!" Lucy insisted.
'"Four people are the same, dealing with an expert like Catherine. Unless she was willing to stay and fight to the death, numbers were meaningless. Even if she can't beat us, she can still leave the battlefield and find a chance to kill us one by one. " Allen shook his head and said, "It's better for me to deal with her myself. You have to believe me, I won't be killed by her that easily."
"But why did she insist on killing you?" Lucy asked. This was probably the biggest question in their minds.
"It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get back." Allen picked up his backpack and said, "Give me your first aid kit. I'll probably have to use it. When you return, you can use your military merits to exchange for it. Don't just wait for me at the base. Remember to accept more of these designated missions and get some military merits first. "
Lucy grumpily said, "You still remember this now."
Allen suddenly pulled her over and kissed her on the forehead. "Don't worry, I'll be back. Don't tell anyone about Catherine. I have a feeling that things will turn for the better. "
After saying that, he carried his backpack, picked up Xue Yin, and walked in Catherine's direction. Catherine stood quietly at the mine gate. If it weren't for the military uniform on her body, if it weren't for the general star on her shoulder. She was like a confused girl now, but if anyone really thought so, they would be in big trouble. Allen wouldn't think so. Catherine had similar experiences as him. She, who had also lived with dangerous beasts for a period of time, could be considered the same as Allen.
"Very good, you don't intend to run away." Catherine said indifferently.
Allen spread his hands and said, "I'm not that stupid. Then, Lord Catherine, how do you want to resolve the matter between the two of us?"
"From now on, you can call me by my name. There's no need to add any honorific or military rank." Catherine suddenly said, "This is what you deserve."
"Should I feel flattered?"
"Up to you." Obviously, Catherine didn't have any sense of humor. "Let's leave this place first. I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it in."
She didn't say she couldn't hold it in, but Allen knew that Catherine was referring to Lucy and the others. If they fought near the mine, Lucy and the others might ignore Allen's decision and interfere rashly. At that time, Catherine would probably attack them.
A fragrant wind suddenly blew, and Catherine had already flown into the forest. Her toes touched the ground and she slid ten meters away, but she didn't even bring up a single drop of snow. Allen looked in the direction of the mine and gritted his teeth to follow behind Catherine. The two of them headed deeper into the west side of the Holly Forest, advancing at a constant speed of 60 kilometers per hour. More than an hour later, Catherine's speed gradually slowed down and finally changed to walking slowly on the snow.
"This is far enough," she said.
Allen stopped beside her and looked at her expressionless side profile. He couldn't help but say, "I don't understand why you have to kill me. Even if you kill me and drink my blood, you might not get much benefit. "
"Before I was ten, I thought I was a king snake, but my appearance was a little different." Catherine replied, "I didn't know I was human until Lu Sen took me out of the snake nest. Humans, compared to many dangerous species, were food. Although some of the books I've read say that humans stood at the top of the food chain in the old era. "
"Unfortunately, this is a brand new era. People without strength are destined to be eaten. It's just that the way they eat is different." Catherine raised her little face and looked at the hazy night sky above her head. "The humans of this era are no longer bound by the planet. We can explore any corner of the universe freely. Every day, new things will be discovered, and every day, countless things will die. If the old era was an era of information explosion, then this era is an era of information blowout. You will find that there are so many things, knowledge, and experience in the universe that it is difficult to grasp in a lifetime. "
"In my opinion, resources, strength, and wealth are not worth pursuing. Only one thing is worth fighting for, worth fighting for with one's life … "Catherine looked at Allen." Do you know what it is? "
Allen sighed, "It's time."
He had already grasped the main point of Catherine's words. This young major general rarely revealed his intelligent side. Even though she was called the God of Death, Catherine's thoughts had already surpassed material and simple slaughter, as if she was a mortal.
However, this made her even more terrifying. If she was just an executioner, even if her strength level was above Allen's. Allen might not necessarily have no chance at all, because he knew very well that the more extreme a person was in a certain aspect, the more they had to have a huge flaw. Just like a person who was easily angered, he was easily affected by excessive emotional fluctuations. However, if Catherine's slaughter was no longer based on hobbies or interests, then she was more terrifying than any killing madman. She would not be confused, angry, or flawed. She would only carry out the slaughter she believed was necessary with the precision and coldness of a machine.
Allen had seen many terrifying people, and Russen was one of the best. This General of the Federation was tyrannical, domineering, and arrogant. The darkness in his eyes was like a black hole that would devour people until there was no corpse left. There was no doubt that he was terrifying. However, even such a terrifying man, compared to Catherine, who revealed her true self, Allen immediately felt that he was much cuter.
After all, no matter how terrifying Russen was, his actions were still filled with humanity. However, Catherine, Allen saw a machine, or a humanoid king snake.
"That's right, it's time." Catherine shook her head and said, "Human life is too short, as short as a summer cicada. Using all the strength in his life to cry out, he thought that he had lived a brilliant life. But suddenly, it was just a short midsummer. And for the universe, this bit of time is not even a drop in the ocean. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel fear from the bottom of my heart. "
"Even those who have already crossed the Dominator level welcome the most important secret love in their lives. The line of time has been stretched out imperceptibly, but how much can it grow? Just like your teacher, she is indeed a genius. Before the age of twenty, she had already squeezed into the forest of top-notch combat strength and was known as the youngest female marshal in the history of the Federation. For her, life has just begun, and she still has a lot of time to squander. "
"But even if she has three or four times more time than an ordinary person, so what? A few hundred years of lifespan, in the universe, was a short moment before even matter could form. Not enough … for me, this is far from enough. "
Catherine looked at Allen and said, "Time is the essence of the universe. When I realized this, I began to pursue this greatest wealth." However, for a life form like the human race, even the most talented geniuses could only live for a few hundred years. Obviously, the pursuit of Origin Energy was necessary, but it was not the most important. "If there is no way for humans to prolong their lives, then I can only find another way."
Allen sighed and said, "Black Twilight King Snake."
This was the beginning and end of everything.
Catherine nodded and said, "Yes, that's it. King Snake, perhaps no one knew how an ultimate life form like the Black Twilight King Snake could appear on a low-level civilization planet like Earth. In fact, no one knew much about this kind of life form. They only received a theoretical unlimited evolution, so they laughed it off. Humans are like this, unwilling to admit that they are not as advanced as a snake's life form. But the truth is, the King Snake's cells can evolve according to the environment. If death is also an 'environment', can they also overcome death? "
"Unfortunately, when I was ready to study them. The last king snake on Earth died at your hands. What's even more dramatic is that you also drank the king snake's blood. I believe this is the thread that binds your fates together. " Catherine's eyes were blurry, as if she was looking at a gorgeous jewelry girl. "I once regretted that I missed the king snake's blood because of Russen. When fate pushed you in front of me, I realized that there was still hope. "
