Huai Shi had originally been worried that Ying Fangzhou would immediately go berserk upon seeing the forces of Hell and the Abyss. He would ignore everything and kick Huai Shi into his pocket, killing him and showing off his peerless elegance. In the end, he would wait for the Withered King's heart to tremble and give the order to stop shooting arrows. Then, he would kill his way back to the Ivory Tower and throw Huai Shi to that old bastard Russell.
But now, it seemed that things were not as bad as he had feared.
Although he did not hide his hatred for Hell, he still retained some rationality and even seemed to be more reasonable than before.
"Then …" Huai Shi asked, "Shall we leave?"
"What else?" Ying Fangzhou asked in return. "It doesn't matter if we stay. Do you expect a dead person like me to command you?"
"Ahem, then let's go!"
Huai Shi slapped his thigh. "Prepare to retreat immediately!"
After spending a short time together and combining his previous experience, Huai Shi had a rough idea of Ying Fangzhou's temper. He had already written down a new way of getting along with him in the Book of Destiny.
Simply put, it was to smooth things over.
Flattery and praise were useless. He hated being considerate and weak the most. No matter how much one accommodated him, if one could not show their own value, he would not praise or acknowledge them.
On the contrary, what he liked the most was being unafraid of authority and not being confused or hesitant to make decisions, even if the authority was being looked down upon and the person being criticized was himself.
Although he had many complaints about Huai Shi using him as a tool, he would at most give him a cold scolding when his junior was being unreasonable.
As long as he showed the ability and responsibility to fulfill his duties, he would not be stingy with his support.
So, as long as he stood up and showed his value, and did not think that he could win by relying on others, the senior would not roll his eyes.
Then, there was no time to lose.
Since he had decided to run now, he had to figure out the specific location and the surrounding situation first.
"Mr. Isaac, can I trouble you to give me a map?" Huai Shi looked up and shouted.
Although he did not know how to communicate with the outside world, he could at least ask first.
Outside the chessboard, the vice principal was silent.
He calmly waited for his turn.
His hand was still pressed on the card box. Under the cover of his long sleeves, it seemed to flicker for a moment. Very quickly, it returned to its original state and threw a card into the field.
[Abyss Mirror]
At this moment, within the massive fragment of Gaia, a massive launcher appeared out of thin air above the turbulent land. Immediately following that, flames and intense light spewed out from under the rocket.
The huge steel ship rose into the sky, and after a few minutes, it left behind the burnt wreckage and flew into the depths of the sky.
Within the chaotic and dark void, the steel object that had been shrunk within the box began to expand, and the six Origin Form Feedback Plates unfurled like metal wings.
Overlooking everything from the highest point, the entire fragment of Gaia was within his observation range.
Unfortunately, a scarlet beam of light crossed thousands of miles and burned the satellite into scrap metal. On the ground, surrounded by countless guards, an eye on the highest tower of the Devil Palace slowly closed. Thousands of giant feet continued to trample on the ground as they slowly walked toward the battlefield in the distance.
However, before it was destroyed, the mirror had already sent all the information and records back to the data center. Next to Isaac, the American gambler threw out a spell card [Light Messenger Eagle] at the right time. Soon, the map recorded on the parchment flew in all directions under the stream of light. The information from the Celestial genealogy was sent to the hands of every participant.
Including Huai Shi.
It also very considerately marked the location of Huai Shi and the others, as well as the surrounding … layers of the Abyss.
Huai Shi's vision turned dark.
[Have I been thrown into a den of thieves?]
The originally pale map had been dyed with various colors from various forces.
Of course, in this battle that had just begun, everyone still occupied their own strategic points and resources and had not had time to develop.
And under the fierce attacks of various lineages, the situation in the present realm seemed to be quite good, vaguely encompassing 60% of the territory.
The territory inside the fragment of Gaia was also frighteningly large. Just the range of the land alone exceeded one-third of the land of Dongxia, especially with the existence of lakes, rivers, oceans, and islands around it.
And now, separated by the scattered battle zones between the two sides, the present realm was on the other side, hell was on the other side, and he … was on the other side.
What did it mean to be alone behind the enemy?
Outside Frozen City, if one walked to the left for a day, they would reach the Storm Altar knocked down by the Sea of Thunder. If one walked to the right for a little more than half a day, they would reach the blood-stained land of the fallen nation. Behind them was the factory of the Eternal Group. Not far away, apart from the meeting place of Dark Eye, was the beacon left behind by the Golden Dawn …
There were even four beacons, completely covering most of the surrounding area, monitoring all of Huai Shi's movements.
How did he get surrounded before it even began?!
If it weren't for Ying Fangzhou's deterrence, ordinary cannon fodder would not have been effective. Someone might have directly thrown a card over and smashed the cannon tower into Huai Shi's face.
How could he not run?
Run!
He had to run, and he had to run quickly …
"But isn't this road a little too far?"
Huai Shi stared blankly at the position of the closest ally on the map. The Great Pyramid built by the American lineage … They had to cross at least one-third of the fragment in between.
Moreover, there were many marked abnormal and catastrophic areas, as well as areas occupied by hell.
This did not include the interference from hell during their journey.
If it weren't for the golden thigh beside him, Huai Shi would have just sat there and waited for the card to be torn.
What the f * ck!
"Isn't it good?"
Ying Fangzhou lowered his head to look at the map and said slowly, "If we have time on the way, we can properly educate this outrageous intern."
As he spoke, he directly took the map in Huai Shi's hand and erased all the crooked retreat routes that Huai Shi had drawn. Then, he drew a brand new route …
From here to the [Deep Transit Base] that had just been set up by the vice principal.
It was a straight line without any twists and turns.
It was straight!
They crossed mountains, lakes, and rivers, and then passed through the six areas occupied by hell and the crossfire between the two sides. They moved forward without hesitation, completely leaving the obstruction and pursuit of hell behind. No, it should be said that they did not take them seriously at all!
"What?" Huai Shi was stunned.
"What's the point of hiding?" Ying Fangzhou said, "Just fight your way out!"
"…" Huai Shi was speechless.
"That's not right."
Soon, Ying Fangzhou seemed to have thought of something. He picked up the map again, erased his route, and said in agreement, "Your worries are not unreasonable."
"Phew, that's right …"
Huai Shi wiped his cold sweat and nodded. Before he could say anything else, he saw … a brand new retreat route.
They no longer had their original arrogant appearance, but became … even more arrogant!
After abandoning the straight line, dozens of sharp turning routes appeared on the map. After involving more than half of hell's territory, they formed a marching route that made Huai Shi's vision turn black …
"Aren't you looking for Gaia's blood?" Ying Fangzhou patted the map. "Since we're leaving, let's take everything we can. It'll save us from making a wasted trip later."
"Oh my god, are we retreating?"
Huai Shi held the map and looked at the targets marked on it. His hands began to tremble.
How was this escaping? They would take everything they could, kill everything they could, and kill everything they could. They were just short of running directly to the enemy's base camp.
It was obvious that it was not going to end well …
However, when he saw the 'kind' eyes from the old senior, Huai Shi was suddenly not afraid of anything.
Well, this is probably the way the utopia retreats.
Sure enough, it's full of ideals …
"The only problem is that there's only one problem left." Huai Shi spread his hands. "This road is almost thousands of miles away. We can't possibly walk there on two legs, right? Or is it that you're tired and have to take me to the skies? "
"If I could still fly freely, there would be no need to retreat at all."
Ying Fangzhou raised his hand and summoned a gust of wind. The biting cold caused Huai Shi to shiver. However, the gust quickly dissipated without a trace.
It was faster than Huai Shi had expected. It was as if …
"This world is resisting Yun Zhongjun's operation. No, it should be resisting humans themselves, right? Every place is full of hostility toward us, Huai Shi. "
Ying Fangzhou's expression was gloomy. "It has fallen to such a state. Just the smell of corruption makes me want to vomit."
Under the resistance of the Gaia fragment, Yun Zhongjun's power could not act according to the situation. He could only forcefully seize the celestial phenomenon from the fragment's control.
This operation was not without effect, but it was as if he was constantly pulling a rope to wrestle with the world. It was half the result with twice the effort, and the gains did not make up for the losses.
"Then what should we do?" Huai Shi asked.
"There are many ways. There are so many vehicles in this city. Don't you know how to use them?" Ying Fangzhou casually pointed. The street not far away was filled with the wreckage of cars and various vehicles.
Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
"Can it still be used after being left here for so long?"
"If it can't be used, then fix it. Bring me a wrench."
Ying Fangzhou rolled up his sleeves and walked forward. He began to skillfully dismantle the car in front of him. By the time Huai Shi found the toolbox in a pile of trash, the car had been completely dismantled.
He was so skilled in dismantling and repairing that even Huai Shi, who was passing the tools beside him, could not keep up with his speed. He was even despised. "So, young people nowadays are too spoiled. They don't even know how to repair cars …"
"Ahem, Senior." Huai Shi's expression twitched. "I play the cello."
"Oh, then you and Mu Jing must have something in common." Ying Fangzhou did not stop moving. He casually said, "In addition to the Ascendant, there are six certificates of disaster musicians: violin, piano, clarinet, erhu, Dongxia guqin, and opera …"
He paused for a moment and raised his eyes to look at Huai Shi. He was serious.
"Also, he knows how to repair cars."
Huai Shi's eyes were filled with tears. He was speechless.
Then, he felt a pair of gloves in his hand.
"Put it on."
Ying Fangzhou said without raising his head, "I'll teach you."
"…"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted.
He hurriedly nodded and went over to take it.
"Look carefully. This is the flywheel. It's broken. I have to remove it completely. Be careful when you do it. Don't break the power distribution … Forget it. If you break it, you can remove the other cars."
"I'll teach you the specific structure first. Put your hand down. Don't touch the clutch that I just removed."
…
Two hours later, the car repair class finally ended.
After removing most of the vehicles on the street, a monster-like motorcycle under the twisting of the accelerator burst out with a soul-shaking roar.
Thick smoke billowed.
After the Heavenly Fault was attached, the source substance replaced the fuel and integrated into the transmission structure of the entire motorcycle in an extremely delicate and compatible way.
After Huai Shi temporarily strengthened the metal material with various methods, the stability and durability had reached a new level.
At this moment, under Ying Fangzhou's control, the motorcycle roared and broke through the frozen ice and frost. Facing the flying snow and cold wind, it headed toward the wilderness outside the city.
On the weather-beaten face, there was bravery and determination that was not afraid of difficulties.
Mottled white hair flew in the wind.
An imposing appearance.
As for the Paradise Prince in the trailer next to it, who was wearing a pink safety helmet and squatting on a chair … That was another matter.
In the end, Huai Shi spat out the snow that flew into his mouth and decided to struggle a little more.
Amidst the roar, he raised his voice and asked, "I say, senior, isn't our route of retreat a little too arrogant?"
"Is it?" Ying Fangzhou asked.
"Of course it is!" Huai Shi was helpless.
"Then it is." Ying Fangzhou twisted the accelerator and increased the speed, not caring about the danger that followed. "If you can do it, then do it. As long as you can do it, then it will be effective."
After saying this, he turned around and glanced at the junior in the trailer.
"Huai Shi, I believe in you. I never thought you were a waste or trash," Ying Fangzhou said seriously. "You're just lazy."
"…"
Huai Shi was stunned.
"Don't worry."
For the first time, Huai Shi saw such a happy smile on Ying Fangzhou's face. He was full of expectations. "Waste and trash can't be trained, but I have ways to deal with lazy people."
After more than seventy years, Huai Shi finally experienced the trauma of Sharma.
But it was too late.
The motorcycle rolled away, and his tears had disappeared in the wind.
.
.
"Now it seems that everyone is almost ready."
Outside the chessboard, Mathers stared coldly at the traces of Huai Shi and the others leaving. His eyes were cold, and there was no longer a pretentious smile and gentleness.
"Look, the children who don't know the immensity of heaven and earth and the stubborn old man who has been dead for many years have started to travel happily in the apocalypse. It's really admirable.
It can only be said that things like 'self-righteous' and 'unrepentant' are completely beyond redemption. After seeing too much of it, there is no way to arouse the slightest interest. "
He paused, raised his eyes, and looked at the other side of the chessboard.
But he didn't look at Isaac.
His gaze fell on the old man in the wheelchair.
"Of all the people, Marcus, I've always believed that you understand us."
The emissary from Golden Dawn asked coldly, "Whether there was friendship or recognition, you should know how ridiculous the choice you made was. But even so, if I tell you this now, you won't be swayed, right?"
The old man in the wheelchair didn't speak.
He just looked down.
He stared blankly at the projection of the fragment, at the figures of the old man and the young man who disappeared in the wind and snow.
He smiled.
Just like a child.
After a long time, Mathers withdrew his gaze in disappointment. "If that's the case, then there is nothing to look forward to."
In his hand, the card that was flipping unsteadily finally revealed its original appearance.
A completely blank card!
At this moment, in Mathers' hand, the record of events slowly gathered, and the phantom of a tower appeared on the surface of the card. A bright golden frame surrounded it, and in front of the phantom of the tower, a vague outline of a human figure slowly emerged.
At that moment, all the chess players in the Discovery Realm looked up in shock, only to see a never-before-seen card was forged in his hand.
"Don't forget, 'Event Creation' is not unique to the Discovery Realm …"
Mathers announced coldly, "Get ready, this is a surprise specially prepared for you."
At that moment, the final title appeared on the card.
[The Chosen One, Aleister (XVI)]!
