Chapter 234 Breaking Cocoon
Chapter 234 Breaking Cocoon
The dense clones of the Evil Deity fell like rain, blocking out the light from the sky.
Lisa looked up from within the shadows, positioning the white cocoon behind her body, ready to fight to the death.
A sharp gust of wind suddenly pierced the air, and a dark figure burst out of the alleyway at breakneck speed, its form distorted and elongated, like a black dagger cutting through the encirclement of Evil Deity clones.
"Run!" Daniel finally arrived and roared at Lisa.
There was no time for pleasantries; Lisa followed behind Daniel, sprinting with all her might.
The clones of the Evil Deity ignored Daniel, converging on Lisa, but Daniel let out a roar like a wild beast, as a mass of gray vines shot from his body, entwining the Evil Deity clones.
He was actually holding back all the clones of the Evil Deity with his own strength.
As Daniel watched Lisa escape, a smile curled at the corner of his mouth, but his pupils suddenly contracted, and he bellowed, "Watch out!"
A terrifying figure descended from above; Noahweis, having dispatched all the obstacles in its way, had finally caught up, lunging at Lisa, who was now too late to dodge.
"As fellow Avengers, I can't let you hog all the limelight!"
The faint voice resonated by Daniel's ear, and without looking back, he knew who had come.
Vampire Barton spread his wings and charged at Noahweis without hesitation, using all his might to knock Noahweis aside.
Noahweis landed, the Eyeless Snake on its head retracting back into its neck, and a black gel-like substance oozed out, reforming into a head. It didn't even glance at Barton.
Barton slowly fell to the ground, his blood gushing unstoppably, his body riddled with holes. During that brief confrontation, the dense Eyeless Snakes had pierced through his torso.
Taking advantage of the moment, Lisa had already covered some distance when a look of surprise appeared on her face, "Carlyle?"
Carlyle was waiting for her up ahead. Although she still looked deathly pale, being here at least meant she had regained her ability to move.
In the urgency of the moment, Carlyle simply nodded, acknowledging Lisa.
She took the white cocoon from Lisa's back and, flapping her wings, took to the sky.
Lisa, on alert, turned to look back at Noahweis and froze. Noahweis was not pursuing but standing in place, coldly watching Carlyle's retreating figure.
Had the opponent given up? Lisa was puzzled.
The dense black shadows suddenly leaped towards the sky; those were the newly arrived clones of the Evil Deity.
The clones of the Evil Deity that Daniel had intercepted were the earliest to arrive, and more clones from far away continued to hurry towards their location.
When the clones of the Evil Deity reached their highest point, their bodies suddenly exploded, spattering viscous black blood which didn't fall to the ground but floated in the air instead.
More and more clones of the Evil Deity exploded, covering the entire sky with black blood, like a dark curtain blocking the sun and Carlyle's escape path.
Carlyle stopped in front of the black curtain, not daring to move forward, sensing intense corrosiveness from it.
The black curtain, like an inverted bowl, sealed off the space, cutting off the route of escape.
Suddenly, a faint shattering sound rang out, a subtle noise that, to those present, exploded like thunder.
A look of ecstatic joy appeared on Carlyle's face, while Noahweis's expression turned to shock... The shattering sound came from the white cocoon on Carlyle's body; the cocoon had cracked open, and an intense, violent aura spread out.
Noahweis completely panicked, the Reverse Cross in its pupils flashing with dazzling blood-red light, as a vast amount of black liquid spilled from its body. Around it, a multitude of dense black spheres condensed.
One could imagine that each sphere would unleash a horrifying black water spout, and Carlyle was like a bird trapped in a cage, with no place to escape to.
"If possible, please take care of my people." Barton, his body riddled like a sieve, suddenly stood up and called out to Carlyle in the sky.
Carlyle paused for a moment, then nodded.
A relieved expression crossed Barton's face; he hadn't been able to sleep well for some time, haunted by the repeating scenes of his kin's deaths every time he closed his eyes.
Now he could finally lay it all down and get a good night's sleep... a sleep that would last forever.
He lunged at Divine Arrival without the slightest regard for his own body being melted by the dark water, holding Divine Arrival tightly as he pressed the button in his hand.
A deep explosion sounded, and pink mist surged from within him, enveloping him and Divine Arrival, as a massive pink "Rose Flower" quietly bloomed.
Before setting out, Barton had planted numerous Sighing Roses inside his body, he was well aware that to unleash their maximum power, they had to be detonated at close range.
When he left, he had already prepared himself to face death.
A dark shadow burst through the pink mist. Divine Arrival looked up and let out an enraged roar, with its outer skin corroded into a rugged and fearsome state.
Of course, the Sighing Roses were not enough to kill Divine Arrival, a monster not even the Doomsday Blade could destroy, but they did interrupt its "Ultimate Move," buying precious time.
Simply using the word "anger" was insufficient to describe Divine Arrival's feelings; it squeezed the primal force from its heart, permanently sacrificing its own strength for an unparalleled speed.
Divine Arrival disappeared from the spot in an instant, and Carlyle instinctively twisted her body to protect the white cocoon with her own. In the next second, her back was torn apart, nearly severed at the waist.
Divine Arrival stood behind Carlyle, its eyes filled with malicious intent.
That strike was meant for the white cocoon, but Carlyle's sudden turn foiled its plan.
As Carlyle fell, she threw the white cocoon in her arms towards Lisa before she lost consciousness.
Lisa caught the white cocoon and ran desperately towards the outside.
Divine Arrival watched Lisa coldly, knowing the area was already sealed. Where could she possibly escape to?
"Faster! Even faster!"
Lisa burst into extreme speed, but she felt it still wasn't enough.
Her gaze caught the edge of the black curtain, where someone was using their own body to forcefully hold open a small gap.
As Daniel's body, wrapped with the Vines of the Grey Soul Tree Needle, collided with the black curtain, it corroded, emitting black smoke.
He could no longer just be described as covered in scars; he was utterly disfigured. If it weren't for the Vines of the Grey Soul Tree Needle holding his body together, he would probably have turned into scattered chunks of flesh.
Daniel had always been a charming and handsome middle-aged man; no one could associate the creature before them with him.
The light in his eyes was on the verge of collapsing, but he was forcibly burning his last soul, refusing to fall.
Lisa frantically urged her legs, trying to run faster.
But reality does not shift with the will of humans, and Divine Arrival, having sacrificed its primal force, was far too fast for Lisa.
Just as Lisa neared the edge of the black curtain, Divine Arrival appeared behind her, its hand blade cleaving through the air, splashing countless dark waters around, creating a storm of blood and a pungent smell in its wake.
The force of this strike was enough to destroy a mountain, and both Lisa and the white cocoon in her arms wouldn't be spared!
In Divine Arrival's blood-red eyes was a cruel smile.
Just then, a pale and slender hand suddenly extended from Lisa's embrace, grabbing the hand blade with the power to shatter mountains, as effortlessly as if holding a cup of tea.
The surging mighty force dissipated upon that pale, slender hand, as if dust brushed off a blanket.
"You can leave the rest to me!"
A reassuring voice arose, and in the next second, Lisa passed out.
Although she hadn't fought Divine Arrival head-on, she had triggered Divine Arrival countless times, and the cumulative side effects had long since overwhelmed her body.
Xu Yi broke the white cocoon with a wave of his hand, catching the unconscious Lisa as she fell.
