The Death List Novel - Chapter 510
Chapter 510 Before The Final Battle
The White Giant Leo had athletic abilities that did not match his size. His strong muscles endowed him with extremely high explosive strength and defense. However, it was precisely because of his large body size and laterally developed muscles that his agility was a bit weak.
In other words, he was fast enough to keep up with Qin Lun, but his steering and speed-shifting abilities weren’t very good, just like how a strong lion would find it difficult to catch a mouse circling him.
After a few rounds of probing, Qin Lun quickly understood that unless he lifted all his trump cards, he would not be able to do anything to the White Giant. However, he had plenty of combat experience, so he quickly changed his perspective and began to think about why Leo had evolved into his current state.
Leo was a knowledgeable biochemist with several doctorates. He was no fool. During World War II, he was rescued by the Americans. The US government will not give up on using such a biochemical expert, so he should not lack research resources.
Judging from the direction the White Giant had evolved, it was to a certain extent very restrained from Kieran’s fighting style. Therefore, it could be deduced that he had never let go of his wife Keller’s hatred.
Thus, there was a problem. During World War II, although Qin Lun had yet to change his profession, the Crystal Mirror spell and Gale Steps’ predecessor, Wind Drift, had all been displayed in front of Leo. Dr Leo should be well aware that unless the White Giant was in a specific environment, it would be very difficult to completely kill its enemies.
Then why did he evolve into this state just to fight a protracted war? Apparently not. Just like Qin Lun, the White Giant must have a trump card, enough to destroy the opponent’s trump card.
Thinking of this, Qin Lun felt that he had caught a glimmer of inspiration. However, he was only a Second Grade after all. Although the Divine Comedy World was only a Low Demon World, there were still many things that could destroy him. Before the White Giant attacked, it was very difficult to accurately add judgement.
Moreover, with the White Giant’s current divine power, as long as there was something that could lock onto Qin Lun’s body, a few punches would undoubtedly kill him.
Gravimeter? Satellite weapons? Temporal and spatial devices that restrict space? Qin Lun felt an inexplicable sense of crisis in his heart. With the resources that Leo possessed, any possibility existed.
The reason Leo hadn’t used it yet was because he was still testing his trump card, or he felt that he could kill him without using a big move. Judging from the current situation of the battle, although the two of them were still in a stalemate, if they continued to develop like this, the chances of the White Giant winning would be even greater.
The life and energy of the Laws Body could be recovered by relying on items, but in such a high-intensity battle, it was impossible for one’s mental consciousness to remain tense all the time. In comparison, the harder it was to beat, the higher the tolerance rate was. The White Giant had an innate advantage.
The battle between the two of them was much more intense than Grant’s. After a few rounds of fighting, the area they were in became unsightly. Most of it was destroyed by the White Giant’s hands. However, the two of them consciously drew the distance between the battle circle and the other side, and unknowingly, they were more than several hundred meters away from Grant’s side.
“Grant, after you change professions, your combat type will be MT. Do you have any skills and items similar to absolute defense?” Qin Lun’s voice suddenly sounded on the guild channel.
“Yes, but after using it, I will lose all my fighting strength!” Grant frowned slightly and remained silent for a while before speaking frankly. He understood the need for mutual trust at a time like this, otherwise he would have no choice but to give up on the final gains of the world.
“We have signed a soul contract. I guarantee your life with all my equipment and items and promise to split the profits equally after the return. If you die because of this, I will also lose everything.” Qin Lun said hesitantly.
Qin Lun’s soul contract was not fair to Grant, but there was nothing he could do about it. After advancing to professional Apostle, the Broken Star System would no longer be able to directly wipe out Apostle. At most, he could only punish the upper limit of his longevity soul. He couldn’t even eliminate the bloodline in his body. Only equipment items that contained a trace of the Laws of the Universe could be directly peeled off through a soul contract.
However, Qin Lun’s equipment included several legendary items. If he lost them all, no matter how much profit the world gained, Grant could still trust the sincerity of the youth.
“Hehe, it’s really exciting. Even you have this kind of determination. What’s so scary about me? I’ll play with you!” Grant’s eyes revealed a trace of blood. The corners of the mouth of the incomplete human skin mask slightly curled upwards, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. The smile on his face was crazy and ferocious.
“However, you have to help me repel these two bitches first. Otherwise, with them causing trouble, the chances are too great!”
“Alright!” Qin Lun simply replied, and the guild channel fell silent again.
…
“Natasha, why are you alone? Where’s Clint?” Looking at the panting Black Widow in front of him, Captain America had an ominous premonition.
The Black Widow’s expression darkened as she shook her head slightly. “He didn’t follow!”
The expressions of the Avengers froze at the same time, and the atmosphere froze. Although the Black Widow did not say that Hawkeye was dead, everyone knew that Clint had either been captured alive by the enemy or had been sacrificed.
“Protecting Intergula is not our most important task. Isn’t it to let you retreat according to the situation?” Captain America asked bitterly, “Is the enemy the Crusaders or the Nazis?”
“The Crusaders withdrew after their initial attack was ineffective, and the attackers are unknown. However, Clint judged it to be your old World War II opponent, Gerthard Heinrich, captain!”
Hearing the Black Widow’s feedback, Captain America’s heart sank again. If the Crusaders caught the Eagle’s Eye, there was still room for negotiation. But if it fell into Gerthardt’s hands, which he was familiar with, Clint’s chances of survival would be almost zero.
Captain America slowly closed his eyes, his face full of sadness and joy. Dozens of years ago, the beautiful head floating in the amniotic fluid tank seemed to appear in front of him again. It stared at him coldly and silently complained about his incompetence.
“Steve, Steve!” Captain America heard his companions’ worried shouts. He raised his head blankly, only to discover that his face and palms were covered in cold sweat. His chest was heaving rapidly, and the surrounding companions were looking at him with worried eyes.
“I’m fine!” Captain America pushed away Iron Man who wanted to support him.
“This place” Iron Man asked hesitantly as he looked at the flood-like army of the dead below the building.
“We’ve done everything we can. There’s only less than two kilometers left between here and the HELLSING mechanism. The surrounding civilians have fled. There’s nothing we can do about the rest.” The U.S. Team sighed and turned around to ask, “Did you guys notice the movements of Elaine and Sheena?”
“No, they disappeared after the Nazi commandos messed up just now. However, I think they should be fine.” Dr. Bruce, who had recovered from the hulk, recalled the chaotic battle and shook his head.
“Steve, wait …” Just as everyone was about to head towards HELLSING headquarters to end the battle, Tony clutched the headphones on the steel mask and said, “I intercepted an inside message from the Crusaders …”
After listening to Tony’s translation, the group of Avengers couldn’t help but look at each other in disbelief.
“The Nazi leader appeared on the battlefield? At this time?” Captain America raised his eyebrows. “Tony, are you sure this isn’t fake news?”
“I can’t confirm that Buckingham Palace seems to have fallen. Not long ago, the Crusaders removed the magnetic field interference in the City of London. I think the news is 70-80% credible.” Iron Man smiled bitterly and said, “Steve, no matter what you decide, you have to do it as soon as possible. There’s not much time left until dawn. The enemy’s leader won’t be waiting there forever.”
“I think this should be true. Elaine and Xena are probably chasing after the Nazi commandos.” Dr. Bruce pushed his glasses and frowned.
“Alright then, Tony, you and Dr. Bruce, and Natasha, go and take a look at that place! However, if there are too many enemies, you don’t have to force yourself. There are already enough people dying tonight.” Captain America’s thoughts changed, and he quickly made up his mind again.
“Steve, what about you?” Iron Man was shocked and blurted out.
“I’m going to end this for the past!” Captain America raised his hand and stopped the others from dissuading him. “I know what you’re going to say, but it’s my responsibility. I have to end it. No matter what happens, just leave London after dawn and go to the place where you were supposed to evacuate.”
“Steve, I…” The Black Widow’s face was cold as she opened her mouth.
“Stop, Natasha, you don’t have to feel guilty about the Eagle’s Eye. This is his own choice. Besides, frontal combat isn’t something you’re good at. It will affect me instead.” Captain America regained his previous determination and nodded at his companions. He jumped down from the building and chased after them in the direction of the River of Death.
…
“Lord Lancelot, good news!” “The British royal family and government have surrendered to the Crusaders. The new bishop of the London Diocese has agreed to accept the leadership of the Vatican and revise the Protestant doctrine.”
“The new bishop? Haha, those fellows from the Law Palace are really shameless. However, that’s good. There are already enough people dying tonight!” The white-haired youth drew a cross in front of him. His calm words were exactly the same as Captain America’s.
“Your Excellency, the Dharma King’s Hall has ordered us to retreat. There is no need to continue.” Father Jack suddenly hesitated for a moment before stammering.
“Order? Hmph, why didn’t I know that the Dharma King’s Hall still has the qualifications to order me!” Lancelot’s eyes revealed a trace of mockery as he pointed at the night sky with a finger. “The person I serve is there, but there is nothing else!”
“Sir, then you …”
“Father, you can go back first. After this matter is over, I will return to the church myself!” Lancelot turned to look at the River of Death that was getting closer and closer, his eyes shining with a cold light, “Creation that does not belong to the Lord should return to dust, earth to earth!”
