Free Web Novel“This is useless, this is a death trap.”
Lynn closed his eyes with a strange calm.
“The God of All Machines and Sir Aiwen are being restrained, my undead curse can’t be used right now, the space is locked so we can’t fold-jump, and the ones attacking us are Root-level — with all these conditions, there’s absolutely no way either of us can survive.”
Silver Fantasy grit her silver teeth. At a time like this she could no longer fuss about petty things like how close he was to her.
Because he had resigned himself!
This guy had resigned himself!
Sure enough, flesh-and-blood beings always falter mentally at the crucial moment!
They can’t be trusted!
Lynn adjusted his monocle and smiled, “So, no need to speed things up. Delaying a few seconds won’t change our fate either, hehe.”
Silver Fantasy ground her teeth, “What do you mean?!”
Lynn smiled with a hint of pity, “What I mean is, since we’re all going to die, isn’t there something you particularly want to do before you die?”
Zuo Zuo stared blankly at the expression on Lynn’s face. No doubt, if Lynn had a morality meter hovering over his head at this moment, the value would have plunged into the red and was about to explode.
Because when that smile crossed his face, that was when he was at his most evil, most chaotic, most detestable.
He...
was done being civilized!
And almost before Silver Fantasy could react, Lynn had already pressed her skull down, and in an instant, caught her off guard and kissed her on the lips.
Boom—
In a flash, Silver Fantasy’s rushing consciousness went blank, her pupils dilated, a massive tremor ran through every sensor across her body from that light, intimate sensation.
Lynn said slowly, “Make up for it, do what I didn’t have time to do the last time I suppressed you.”
“All right, now not only is your mind taken care of, your other parts have been bullied by me too, so...”
“Say goodbye?”
In an instant.
Lynn suddenly released his grip on her shoulder, adjusted his monocle, and with a forceful backward shove smiled as he pushed away, drifting from her like a fallen leaf in the gale.
Sorry, Miss Intelligence Machine.
Although tricking you to death here gives me a small pang of guilt.
But since we’re both hellish evil ghosts in this place, there’s no need to talk about morality, right?
After all.
From the first moment we met, we’ve been mortal enemies.
In an instant.
Lynn slammed his hand down on the Angel’s Kiss mark the Matriarch left on his chest, smiled, and waved toward that stunned Mechanical Girl in the sky as he said:
“Goodbye, Mechanical Girl! After we hit hell’s hell, we’ll meet again, goodbye!”
And amid that arrogant, pitying laugh, the black ripple drew closer to them in an instant.
It blotted out the sky.
Like a black dead wall.
Lynn closed his eyes with a smile, prepared to accept his death and to collect the components when Silver Fantasy shattered.
But at the very moment he shut his eyes,
an ancient green rune suddenly appeared on his forehead, spreading outward with his third eye as the center.
Lynn jolted as if he sensed something, and snapped his eyes open.
Almost at the same time,
a violent gust came from behind, and a huge black shadow swung open a mouth toward them with unimaginable speed.
“What is that?!!”
At that moment, Sir Aiwen, who had been urgently watching the distant scene and trying to pull back from the battlefield, tensed up.
Because he saw that black shadow rising into the air.
Felt that extraordinary aura!
The aura of Root!
“Awooo—!”
Almost at the same time the black ripple swept in, within that massive, familiar aura Lynn turned in shock and immediately saw those enormous blood-red eyes, yet impossibly pure.
Those eyes seemed to say to him...
Finally arrived!
(✪ω✪)!
Doctor brother!
“Little One!!” Lynn cried in alarm.
And at the same time, Lynn’s body was swallowed by that enormous head; at terrifying speed, even the stunned Silver Fantasy tens of meters away was engulfed as Little One leaped like a koi fish clearing the Dragon Gate.
Then the black ripple slammed down.
Boom————!!
A massive explosion and shockwave rolled across the sky.
That gigantic head used its own body to block the Fallen Angel’s devastating strike!
Like a meteor.
Little One’s battered head was blasted down onto the ground with unimaginable force, creating an impact crater nearly a kilometer across.
Silence fell.
Thick smoke billowed up.
At the bottom of the crater.
A heavily scarred tentacle slowly crawled up from below and hooked onto the surrounding earth.
Little One, in a battered state, rolled out like a multi-story rubber ball under the writhing tentacle.
“Ouch—”
Around them, view-stones torn open by the massive blast fell like raindrops with sharp pings.
Lynn forced himself out from the mouth of the reclining Little One, spun around urgently, and supported that huge familiar head, saying:
“Little One! Why did you come!! Now isn’t your time to appear!!”
It was too dangerous!
There were already five Root-level mature entities fighting; it was far too risky for a juvenile Little One to come here!
Little One, coughing out blue smoke, raised a tentacle and said, “Ugh—on the way—ran into big trouble—but got Doctor’s message—so came right away—”
Gurgle gurgle gurgle—
Little One’s torn wounds were visibly knitting together at a speed you could see with the naked eye.
Lynn knew this was Little One’s undead curse at work; his own curse had been stolen, while Little One’s family’s undead curse was perpetual.
Although he knew Little One would be fine,
seeing this made Lynn’s eyes instantly well up.
Family!
Yes!
In the critical moment, family is still the only one who can help you! My poor little fiancée!
But that’s not the main point right now.
The point is.
You could have just saved your brother—Little One, you really didn’t need to save that Mechanical Girl up there too.
Brother just forcibly kissed her and tried to look cool—if you rescue her as well, it makes your brother here look like an idiot.
