Chapter 36 Angel or Winged Demi-human?
Faced with the man's persistent pleading, the girl clicked her tongue in exasperation and gave him a disdainful look.
"Alright, you go and take command of the battle. The epidemic situation in the inland areas is not optimistic. It is already very difficult for the major duchies to spare 60,000 troops."
Her gaze drifted across the night sky, and she sighed softly, "It's probably true. I hope Cliff can be trusted..."
The middle-aged man following behind looked at her blankly: "Huh? What are you talking about? Who is Cliff? Do we even have such a person around here?"
"Tsk..." After taking a deep breath, the girl couldn't hold back any longer and pointed at his nose, yelling, "What are you still standing here for?! Go on, can't you see they're having a tough time fighting the Beast Pirates?"
"Aww...you...take care..." After stammering a few words, the middle-aged man quickly left.
"..."
"You and your new era are disgusting and repulsive..." With a rubber band in her mouth, the girl angrily tied up her long hair.
"Thump—!"
At this moment, an extremely domineering aura spread out from the front of the battle zone, causing everyone who was fighting to be stunned.
"Redhead! All these years, your strength hasn't improved at all? Well, that makes sense, considering you're just a stinking native!"
Jiu Nian burst into loud laughter, his spiked club moving faster and faster with each strike, countless lurking thunderbolts gathering with each laugh.
...
"The streamer's skill level is still too low; he couldn't even defeat the NPCs. So lame! (He's just lame!.jpg)"
"No face to show for it, no money in its pocket, just a tiny toothpick, so pitiful! (How awful!.jpg)"
"Single dog, no one flirting, never been in a relationship, begging for a handbag! (How scary!.jpg)"
"College graduate, bad major, unemployed after graduation, so scary! (So what if you have a little money? .jpg)"
"Are you guys crazy? You're even playing with couplets now! (Thumbs up.jpg)"
...
The viewers in the live stream noticed that Cliff, who was watching the show from the sidelines, immediately started teasing Kuenen, who was risking his life to fight Shanks.
Having already gotten carried away, Jiu Nian paid no attention to what the audience was grumbling about, and with a sudden twist of his wrist, he slammed it down on Shanks again.
"Clang—! Boom!"
With a nimble twist of the blade, Shanks blocked the attack with the tsuba, but the immense force still sent him flying into the sky.
He turned his head to look at the distant island, and only after he noticed that a green figure was intercepting the aftershocks of the battle did he smile with relief.
"What are you looking at!?"
With a loud roar, Jiu Nian stepped on the waves, bent his legs slightly, and exerted his strength, instantly leaping into the clouds. He gripped the handles firmly and began to spin clockwise.
"Great Vajra!"
Lightning bolts converged around him, crackling and thundering, until the entire spiked club was stained blood red.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams—!"
With his right foot stepping forward, Jiu Nian used the momentum to unleash his strongest swing to date.
Seeing this from a distance, Cliff silently gave Shanks a look, then flashed forward to protect the area in front of the archipelago.
He wasn't afraid of the blow, but he could get an NPC to take the hit for him and see the NPC's strength. Why not?
"Ha..." Shanks chuckled and shook his head after understanding Cliff's implication.
"null--!"
The blade in his hand was instantly crackled with lightning, his gaze sharpened like a hawk's, and he propelled himself forward with a burst of energy.
The distance between the two grew closer and closer until it was only a foot.
"Gods, sir!"
The crimson blade clashed head-on with the spiked club, and the clouds within a thousand miles quickly dissipated, illuminating the entire sea area as if it were daytime.
"Well..."
"I'm a player, you know!"
Feeling the power emanating from the spiked club, which was comparable to his own, Jiu Nian roared again, increasing the force of his blow.
"Player?"
"Although the idea is absurd, those guys might not belong to this world, and my most basic deduction is that they're here to retrieve the Dead Sea Scrolls..."
"And nobody knows what they're going to do, at least that's what Victoria said..."
As Shanks murmured that familiar word, Lovelyt's words echoed in his mind.
After feeling this almost terrifying power, he also gave it his all.
"Aaaaaaahh ...
The two roared until their weapons were stained black, then a terrifying force erupted from them, instantly blasting them away.
The overflowing energy, centered on the point of collision, instantly created waves tens of thousands of meters high, with the aftershocks sweeping outwards without diminishing.
"Oh dear...it seems we can't determine a winner!"
Cliff, hovering in front of the island, covered his mouth in surprise, then smiled and opened his arms to face the shockwave head-on.
The battle between the island's players and the natives also stopped because of that attack, and they stood and stared at the dazzling halo.
This calm didn't last long. Realizing their battle was nearing its end, the players went into a frenzy, searching for the remaining pages.
A raging fire quickly spread across Vortex Island...
"Tap tap..."
A silver-white figure appeared in the ruins engulfed by fire, long silver hair coiled inside the hood, faintly leaving a few white streaks.
When Dongfang Qing discovered the escort ship returning, he had already been waiting on the island for quite some time; the speed at which information flowed among the players truly surprised him…
He took small, quick steps forward and gently picked up a petite figure from the ground, a girl who looked to be about seven or eight years old.
Unlike ordinary children, she has pure white hair and a pair of tiny white wings on her lower back.
Her wings were now charred black by the fire, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, her chest was no longer rising and falling, and her breathing was so weak that it was like a candle flickering in the wind.
"Who knows which race and orc this is, their offspring..."
Gazing at this life that was about to end, Dongfang Qing fell into a long-absent state of deep thought. What should this be called? An angel or a celestial being?
Offspring produced through hybridization face extreme danger and uncertainty in the future.
Dongfang Qing reached out and treated him. After he recovered completely, he carefully analyzed his magic corridor.
"You can do that too...?"
After a long while, He revealed a look of understanding, because he realized that this magical corridor, filled with uncertainty, belonged to the category of acquired and controllable development.
Unlike humans, the corridors are predetermined.
Some people can only master a maximum of two types of magic, because the Corridor is not suited to other attributes.
"Well..."
The little one in my arms slowly opened his eyes after feeling that inexplicably warm halo.
What instantly captured her attention was Dongfang Qing's long, silvery-white hair...
In the girl's memory, she had never seen or heard of anyone else with hair of this color.
"Interesting… This is a race destined to become gods from birth."
Noticing the girl's gaze, a subtle, almost imperceptible smirk appeared on his lips
