The Death List Novel - Chapter 583
Chapter 583 Metamorphosis
“Kakaka!” As the ruins changed drastically, the passageways began to reassemble, and countless stone fragments fell from the top.
The tunnel network in the ruins itself expanded from the inside to the outside, but now that the ruins had risen from the depths of the earth, the mountain tunnel in the outer circle had been sealed. The tunnel closest to the original central tunnel was blocked by solid rocks, leaving only the part of the lower middle circle behind.
In the process of changing the ruins, the first to suffer was Qin Lun and the rest of the six soldier armors that were left outside the silver gate. They were completely crushed into pieces by the closed mountain.
Then came Apostle, who was still fighting, and Alex and the others. Fortunately, Alex and the others had been fighting guerrilla attacks in the middle of the passageway in order to cover their side, Apostle. Although the passageway was changing, there was still room for them to escape.
In all seriousness, the rearrangement of the corridors gave them an unexpected chance to break the encirclement. In fact, neither Chaos’s joint team nor the Heathmeier Guardians that had broken into the ruins had the intention to fight. They were all rushing out in fear.
The passageways in the group were unpredictable, almost cutting the entire group into pieces. Often, the companions who were beside them one moment before would be isolated by a stone wall the next. The members of different subordinates were enemies not long ago, but they had to help each other in the next second, becoming companions that depended on each other.
In comparison, Alex and the others were very happy in their hearts. This change in the ruins proved that their side, Apostle, had already entered the center of the ruins. Even if they hadn’t completely controlled the ruins, they should at least have obtained a considerable harvest.
The other two parties, the Chaos Branch and the Heathmeier Guardian, were not in such a good mood. Although the Gan Luo Branch led by Chaos had not suffered any casualties, the gloom in their hearts could be imagined.
As for the Guardian of Heathmeier, it was not something that could be explained by the word depressed. For example, the Guardian of Heathmeier under the Holy Maiden of the Heart had suffered more than half of the casualties. More than a dozen of them died in the battle with the insects outside the ruins, while the other 30 were killed by the joint team of Chaos and Holy Light.
Before the great change in the ruins, Gan Luo had failed to capture the anger of Alex and the others and vented it all on the heads of the people of Heathmeier. The guardians had finally witnessed the true power that descended upon Apostle.
What frightened Holy Maiden Ru Xin the most was that even if she sacrificed the lives of more than 30 guardians, they could only let the other party survive. Apostle’s strong vitality and tacit understanding left an unforgettable imprint on their hearts.
As the ruins changed, dots of light flew out of the ruins one after another. Some of them escaped along the unclosed passageway, while others relied on incomparably powerful firepower to open a path through the ruins.
The dots of light that escaped gradually gathered into three small groups in the air. The one with the least number was Alex. They only had seven mecha left. The largest number was still the Guardians of Heathmeier. There were about 30 people left who had gathered together with the other seven Apostle under Ruxin’s leadership. Meanwhile, Qin Mei and the others, who had never entered the pyramid, had disappeared at this time.
The Gan Luo and Holy Light joint team led by Chaos was very lucky. There weren’t any deaths, but there were some members who couldn’t fight because of their serious injuries. Right now, there were about a dozen Apostle.
After Alex and the others escaped from the ruins, they did not flee far away. In fact, both Apostle and the guardians of Heathmeier knew that the changes in the ruins were related to their side. If they weren’t afraid of each other, they would have taken them down long ago.
However, Alex and the others did not have a depressed expression on their faces, and Pilot Keith’s face was filled with joy. At least from the looks of it, their sacrifices weren’t in vain. Qin Lun and the others found the Angel Inheritance in the ruins.
By the time the three groups of people had escaped from the ruins, the changes to the ruins were almost complete. A vast staircase-shaped pyramid stood tall in the mountains as if it had existed for a long time. The stone platform that was originally at the bottom of the funnel had now become the top platform of the pyramid. It was slowly opening, revealing the five-colored Magic Cube that had been assembled in the underground palace, as well as the first seven figures of the Magic Cube that were shrouded in multicolored light.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of Apostle and the Heathmeier Guardians floating in the air lit up. Without hesitation, they flew down towards the stone platform at the top of the ruins.
However, right at this moment, the Magic Cube at the top of the pyramid suddenly floated up. With a corner as a fulcrum, it slowly rotated above the ruins, scattering out countless colorful lights.
The colorful light enveloped the pyramid, forming a square shield. The guardians of Chaos and Apostle on the Heathmeier side almost didn’t have time to stop, and half of them crashed into the shield.
This barrier seemed to be able to identify the enemy and us. Alex and the others passed through without any hindrance, and the Magic Cube even separated out seven strands of light to envelop them. On the other hand, the people from the other two sides seemed to have collided with an elastic net and were bounced away one after another.
At the same time as the barrier appeared, a straight beam of light shot out from above the Magic Cube, piercing through the clouds above the ruins, projecting a gigantic three-dimensional image. In the image appeared the Angel Race that only Qin Lun and the others had in their minds. Among them, the Angel standing in front of them was Sanova, whispering softly.
“Sir, we can’t hear those projections.” Black looked at Gan Luo in confusion.
“There’s no hurry. They don’t seem to be able to move now. This shield shouldn’t last for much longer. There will always be a time for it to end!” Gan Luo waved his hand with an unsightly expression and glanced at the Heathmeier people in the distance. “Keep your eyes on that side. Don’t let those Heathmeier ladies get in the way.”
…
“Holy Maiden, what should we do now? The Githites have obtained the final gospel.” The guardians of Gan Luo were more anxious than Apostle and others, knowing what the final gospel meant by the prophetic poem.
“Don’t worry, even if the Githies get the final gospel, they will still need some time to fuse together. After the shield disappears, we will have a chance to capture them and extract the power of the final gospel from their bodies.” Holy Maiden Ruxin said with a gloomy face, “There’s nothing I can do now. Where’s Qin Mei?”
“I didn’t see her.” The Heathmeier Guardian was stunned as he looked around and said, “There are still seven people who have descended on Apostle. They were unable to contact Lord Qin Mei.”
“Forget it, it’s the same without her.” Ru Xin’s delicate face revealed a trace of anger as she forcefully suppressed her anger and said, “Will the remaining descendants of Apostle be willing to help us?”
“Let me ask” The guardian turned around with an embarrassed expression. When she returned, her expression became even uglier. “The rest of Apostle is willing to help us. However, they offered to exchange for 50% of the gospel power they extracted.”
Hearing this, Ruxin’s expression calmed down. “It seems that Qin Mei has already deciphered everything from the prophecy poem. No wonder she sent Apostle into the pyramids at the cost of losing face with us. Promise them that we’ll talk about it after defeating Apostle the Zerg.”
Ru Xin’s words had wronged Qin Mei. The Demonic Charm had indeed deciphered all of the prophetic poems. However, Apostle, who entered the pyramid, did not follow her orders but moved freely. In fact, when Qin Mei slipped away quietly, she didn’t even notify the seven independent Apostle.
Qin Mei’s disappearance caused the seven Apostle to panic as well, and they regretted not following her. This was also the case in the first two mission worlds they had followed Qin Mei in. Generally speaking, there would be casualties.
However, Qin Mei had previously told them about the possibility of the final gospel. Faced with temptation, they still chose to stay. In their eyes, they still had more than 30 guardians on their side, and with the addition of the seven of them, their strength was not bad.
…
‘”Sister Hu Fei, look at the seven Lost Apostle in the multicolored light, the one among them” Xiaolian pulled Hu Fei’s arm and pointed at the stone platform of the pyramid below.
“Yes, although there is something like a pair of small wings behind him, his appearance is exactly the same as that of that person.” Hu Fei was silent for a moment before expressionlessly saying, “We really did meet … Murderous Berserker ‘Decomposer’ Joey Foster!”
“Sister Hu Fei, we’re not sure if he’s Joey or Qin Lun!” Little Lotus said solemnly.
“Xiaolian, do you still have fantasies about that murderer?” Hu Fei glared fiercely at Xiao Lian. “Didn’t you say that he showed that Qin Lun and Joey were actually one in World War II?”
“I think he had another reason!” ‘”Sister Hu Fei, don’t forget that I’ve seen his files before. Now that I think back, if his two personalities are really one, there are many things that I can’t explain.” Xiaolian’s round face wrinkled into a ball and he sighed with a rare expression. “Sister Hu Fei, don’t forget that I’ve seen his files before.”
“No matter what, we have our own team now. Don’t get mixed up with him anymore.” Hu Fei’s expression froze, and she pinched the tender flesh on Xiaolian’s face in frustration. “Damn girl, now that her wings have hardened, she dares to sing the opposite tune to her sister, doesn’t she?”
“Tear, pain, pain ~ ~ Good sister, quickly let go. Look, there’s been a change in the group of people below!” Xiaolian let out two painful cries and quickly pointed at the stone platform of the pyramid to distract Hu Fei’s attention.
“Damn girl, this move doesn’t work … Eh, there’s really been a change. They’ve grown taller!” Hu Fei turned her head to see the situation on the stone platform and immediately opened her eyes wide in surprise.
Qin Lun and the others on the stone platform were shrouded in multicolored light. His body was growing larger and larger. Soon, it was almost the same as the armor of the soldiers and mecha beside him. Moreover, the Angel Ke Long’s body, which was originally like an ornament, was also growing. It had slowly transformed into an Angel race that appeared in the clouds. At least, it was no different from the appearance of the Angel Ke Long’s body.
As for Bobby’s soldiers, they were assimilated by Bobby inside the mecha. He had completely transformed into an angel, and the soldier’s face had also transformed into Bobby’s own. Behind them, Alex and the others broke into the shield, and their armor had also undergone a great change.
Although they had been shrouded in the multicolored light for a much shorter period of time than Qin Lun and the others, the remaining seven semi-biological mechs no longer had the texture of composite metals on their bodies. Instead, they had the texture of biological bodies. They had become fully compatible with Alex and the others.
