Chapter 845 - 845 573 An Unexpected Visitor_2

Chapter 845: Chapter 573: An Unexpected Visitor!_2 Chapter 845: Chapter 573: An Unexpected Visitor!_2 And a part of those who had previously escaped Earth watched the fragments of the Red Moon gradually fall from above their heads, watching this familiar world of disaster, they couldn’t help but reveal faces of utter despair—

They had thought they escaped the sea of suffering, but had not expected to end up so utterly alone.

…

“Boom!”

After a long flight, another missile, carrying a nuclear warhead, made contact with its closest target on the ground.

A fiery ball erupted in the crimson world…

The blinding flash of light briefly obscured the scarlet in this area.

The chunks of flesh that were hit let out a faint mental wail, then disintegrated into numerous fragments.

“These fragments… simple high temperatures can’t burn them away…”

Witnessing this scene, Colin couldn’t help but think.

Superweapons capable of causing destructive blows to many things on the surface could only shatter that thing, not manage to vaporize it…

However, Colin was not surprised by this.

After all, if a strike from a group of high-ranking beings had hit an ordinary, unprotected celestial body, it could have shattered the planet.

But when it hit that satellite, it only managed to shatter it as well.

Nowadays, weapons created by human intelligence alone, combined with some extraordinary power, being able to achieve this was already quite remarkable.

Without giving it much thought, after a brief period, the shockwave from the high-altitude explosion was thrown onto the ground, causing the entire city, like a ruin, to roll and vibrate again as if a stone had been thrown into a calm lake…

Colin’s gaze became vacant for a moment, and he once again fell into some kind of unconsciousness.

With his physique, there was no need to worry about being crushed to death by a simple collapse.

Even if he were to be thrown into lava, he would emerge unscathed.

But, his dazed consciousness didn’t last long; Colin seemed to hear some faint screams, his unfocused pupils forcefully concentrating once more.

“Someone nearby…?”

He muttered to himself, previously during transportation, he would try to avoid areas with living people as much as possible.

But…

This time, someone else had brought him here.

Colin once again recalled that figure; unfortunately, he could only feel familiarity, but couldn’t remember who it was for the moment…

And in his memory, the ones who could face the Gods unflinchingly for his sake, and had the ability to do so, were most likely Shana at full power, or Old Master Wu, or perhaps the “Thorn Lady”?

But none seemed quite right.

The nature of that power didn’t resemble Shana’s, it fell short compared to the “Thorn Lady,” and as for Old Master Wu…

What abilities the Ninth Level of the “Fate Propeller” could have, Colin wasn’t familiar, but it didn’t quite seem to fit either, plus Old Master Wu seemed to have perished alongside the consciousness sealed in the “Red Moon”…

So it shouldn’t be him either.

Who could it be?

His mind felt forgetful, as though he was about to recall it, but couldn’t match it to anyone.

However, another scream came, causing Colin to blink and snap back to reality… Now was not the time to be concerned about it.

These ordinary people…

His body was strong enough not to fear the ruins and the stones weighing tons or even tens of tons…

But ordinary people were different.

“Anyway, I’ve already suffered so many injuries…”

Colin sighed, with a “might as well” attitude; using all his strength, he shakily lifted his hand and placed it on the “Ring of Enduring Pain” on his head, an invisible force spreading out, taking all the damage upon himself.

At the same time, some of the people in the earthquake surprisingly discovered that even though they had received fatal injuries.

Nothing happened!

And guided by some inexplicably strong intuition, they quickly started to take cover.

At this moment, as various crushing damages arrived, Colin once again fell unconscious.

Just as he fell into unconsciousness not long after, a group of seemingly normal people, but with stiff movements and eyes full of blood, seemed to have discovered something because of his recent action of protecting the mortals. They suddenly gathered together, entered the underground area, and made their way straight to his room.

An indescribable sense of crisis welled up inside him, but Colin had not awakened, and as a result, fell into a terrible nightmare, with flames on his body flickering weakly and then strongly.

Who knows how much time had passed, Colin suddenly awoke, vomiting a mouthful of blood the first thing.

Feeling the injuries on his body due to the “Ring of Enduring Pain,” he couldn’t help but think sardonically:

“My body is pretty tough, quite enduring, huh, no, something seemed to happen just now…”

He was halfway through pondering when he suddenly realized the “sense of crisis” he had felt while unconscious.

His eyes moved, and Colin saw the door to the small basement that the little maid had found for him had been torn open at some point, and a group of figures were standing there motionless, in the posture of entering.

These figures were covered in frost, looking for all the world like statues.

A delicate-faced, mature-bodied, yet child-hearted ice-blue specter suddenly appeared before him and blew a breath onto his face:

“Hoo~~~”

“Yukionna?!” Colin exclaimed in shock.

“Huh huh huh~” The ice-blue beauty puffed again, a bit grumpily, toward him.

She seemed a bit angry, and the reason for her irritation, judging from the “inspiration” she provided, was probably related to her being squeezed into her house (ring), and then being kicked far away…

Colin couldn’t help but smile wryly, what a time for this.

At that moment, however, he suddenly remembered something and asked with difficulty,

“Were you the one facing those things just now?”

He recalled the silhouette that had faced the gods.

“Mmhmm!” Yukionna nodded.

“Impossible.”

Colin immediately dismissed his own speculation, convinced that the mature-looking young lady before him couldn’t possibly have the strength; she must have thought he was referring to the heretic believers at the door.

Then, he couldn’t help but want to ask how “Yukionna” had come here.

But just as this thought occurred to him, Colin hadn’t spoken when he suddenly froze, looking at this innocent-faced creature, his gaze slightly solidified, and a nameless chill rose in his heart…

Yes… he had severed all connections at the time, how… did she find this place?!

“Gurgle…”

Colin swallowed, becoming acutely aware.

Although it was a reunion with an old friend, it might not be a good thing…

However, in response to his words, “Yukionna” simply replied that she found her way by searching…

‘Never mind how dangerous the journey might have been, or how you ignored the red danger lights, I’m not even sure where I am right now, and yet you managed to find me…’

Colin fell silent.

Rather than believe “Yukionna”s’ words, it would be more believable that a sow might climb a tree – after all, sometimes a sow really does climb a tree.

However, by her look, she seemed genuinely unknowing…

‘Just pray you don’t bring any big surprises…’

Colin sighed silently in his heart, having seen no sign of danger for the time being, and since he had no capacity to worry further, all he could do was hope it wasn’t bad news.

And then, as more nuclear bombs began to detonate, violent vibrations turned the world upside down.

“Be careful…”

After uttering the last word, Colin handed the “Mountain of Smiling Corpses” to Yukionna, and with a sense of strong unease, he slipped back into a nightmare, his face distorting under potent negative effects…

“Ah!”

Yukionna spread her hands, blasting out cold air with all her might, freezing and fortifying all the nearby buildings, and even created an ice wall dozens of meters thick that covered this small underground area.

However, as terrifying blasts of energy arrived, they shattered her ice wall to pieces…

All Yukionna could do was play the plasterer, trying to patch the cracks in the ice wall as best as she could.

Amidst earth-shaking and heaven-overturning turmoil, after an indeterminate time of struggling, the explosions slowly subsided, then after some time passed, the surface of this area began to be littered with small red chunks of flesh, falling like a curtain of rain.

These scraps of flesh began to combine with everything around, turning into terrifying creatures of extraordinary power, roaming the broken earth, or forming strange and eerie anomalies, wandering about…

After a long while, “Yukionna” felt that the “rain” outside seemed to have lessened, but there seemed to be a lot more wandering monsters…

Scary!

She dragged Colin into the depths of an icy cavity and, clutching the purple card, dared not move a muscle.

But before she could continue waiting, some figures suddenly arrived, seemingly closing in.

And they were purposefully destroying the ice wall she had just reinforced!

“Ah!”

“Yukionna” was somewhat frightened, subconsciously wanting to shake Colin out of his sleep, but seeing his pained expression.

Hesitating for a moment, she withdrew her hands.

In that instant, though full of fear, she still mustered the courage to try to confront these enemies…
