Chapter 559 Never Fight a Positional War with an Intellectual Envoy
“For example what?” Bai E asked.
"For example, being hunted by the Suspended Peak Clan or becoming a slave is undeniably part of history."
"This is Geocleus, and his merits and demerits are for others to judge. But history still regards him as a 'pioneer.' Why do you think that is?"
Before Bai E could answer, Wan Di continued.
"The truth couldn't be clearer—because he took action and carved out the changes with his own hands. He didn't try to make everyone understand him, nor did he ever linger in a dilemma where he wanted to have the best of both worlds."
"He burned away the shackles called 'tradition' with a great fire, then drove everyone... toward the coming era."
Bai E remained silent for a long time.
"You've made up your mind, haven't you?"
"Soon I will leave Ohma to fight against the darkest place in the world and to bear... Nicardoli's fate."
"So listen carefully—if one day we meet again on the battlefield, and I stand on the opposite side of the Fire Chaser..."
"I remember stabbing my tenth thoracic vertebra from behind; that was the only weak point that could kill me."
Wan Di's words were cold, yet intensely passionate.
At least that's how it sounds to Bai Er.
The man before her had revealed his greatest secret to her for the sake of a common goal.
This is an immense trust.
He nodded solemnly, "It's a deal."
"Go, head to your battlefield, and send that fire-stealing hyena to its death."
"But if you are driven to a dead end, then pray to the blades of heaven—"
"—Then, call out the name of the new god aloud."
Bai E smiled faintly, "Alright, the new god of ten thousand enemies."
"However, you are not needed here yet; I am enough."
"Hehe, I'll be waiting."
Wan Di smiled knowingly, waved his hand, and walked into the heart of the vortex.
His figure gradually disappeared, and Bai E also left the center of the cosmic vortex.
...........
Ohma.
"Aglaia, what exactly happened while I was asleep?"
After Bai Er left, Tibo also temporarily departed, leaving little Eve alone with Aglaia.
Although she received Danheng's message, it didn't specify what had happened. The message was to urge her to come here and participate in the operation.
Therefore, little Eve is now eager to know what exactly happened.
“Miss Eve, this is a long story, let me explain slowly.” Aglaia’s tone remained composed.
"While you were asleep, Tibo and Tinin went to the Abyss of Fate to seek the help of Oronis because of Tian's condition."
“Tian’s body…” Little Eve pondered.
“I did sense the shattering of her body. When we were in the Tree Garden, I tried to restore Tian’s body, but she refused. Sigh…” Little Eve sighed.
Eve knew that Tian's body was not just a broken body, but also a dissipation of the soul, which was irreversible unless the power of the life source was used.
It's clear that Tian herself was aware of this, which is why she refused Eve's help.
Perhaps she has already given up on herself.
“It’s a pity,” Aglaia sighed as well.
"Later, they encountered the Fire Thief in the Abyss of Fate, the same black-clad swordsman you met in the Tree Garden."
“He killed Eulonis, took away the fire of time, and took Tian away.”
"According to Teacher Tibo, Tian is now in critical condition..."
At this point, Eve's expression turned serious.
“Tian has been taken away. His target is the Fire, isn’t it?” Little Eve asked.
Eve could tell from the Fire Thief's actions in the Tree Garden that his goal was the fire.
After all, he had eaten several of his own large portions, almost reaching that moment of summer.
However, Eve was even more shocked by his recovery ability.
He had only recovered less than half of his own strength, but he had unexpectedly recovered almost all of it.
This made Eve realize that the Firewalker was no ordinary person.
They might even be like them, not belonging to Onphalus.
“Yes.” Aglaia nodded.
"Therefore, Bai'e and the others wanted to use the fire seed in Xia's body as a catalyst to lure the Fire Thief to come here, and then use Mimi's ability to seal it in the past."
"That moment, Xia..."
Little Eve fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, she shook her head.
“No, that’s not an opponent that Cherish… no, Cecis could handle.”
"Too hasty."
“Aglaia, tell Bai’er that I’m going ahead.”
"I hope to catch up with that summer."
"Tian, there should still be hope..."
"Mimi?"
After Little Eve finished speaking, she immediately disappeared with Mimi.
"So fast..." Aglaia sighed as she watched little Eve's figure disappear.
..........
After a while, Bai Er returned to the garden.
“Aglaia, I have already seen the enemy of ten thousand.”
Has he made up his mind?
Bai Er nodded. "He is a pure warrior."
"However, we still hope not to disturb him; we are on the front lines."
“I trust you to shoulder this responsibility.”
“However, now is the time to cooperate, and Miss Eve has already gone to the site ahead of time,” Aglaia said.
"Eve left early?" Bai Er frowned.
“That’s right.” Aglaia nodded.
"Upon learning that Tian had been taken away by the Firewalkers, Eve immediately set off for Suspended Peak City."
"She was worried that Xia's guy would be taken away directly, so she went to set up the formation in advance."
"I see." Bai E nodded.
"Then I can't slack off either."
"Wait for me, wait for me!" Tibo ran over with small steps.
“My teacher…”
"Hehe, Tibo is all ready, Little White, let's go!"
"Ah."
Bai'er shouldered his greatsword and set off on his journey with Tibo.
...............
Suspended Peak City.
Little Eve and Mimi took off in a flash, arriving at Suspended Peak City in no time.
On their way, they also discovered a group of disorganized soldiers setting off from Ohma, also heading towards Suspended Edge City.
"Mimi?"
"We've arrived."
Little Eve glanced around; Suspended Peak City was still as dilapidated as before.
But it's quite obvious that there are a few poorly executed traps.
Although they were all hidden, in Little Eve's eyes they were like mountains and rivers under the sun, completely visible.
“The trap is too clumsy,” Little Eve shook her head slightly.
This was probably a trap set by Naksha and Serhis to ambush the Fire-Stealing Walker.
However, Eve didn't think such a trap could do any harm to the Firewalker.
"Hmm, we need to insert an imaginary bomb here..."
"And here, let's place a pulse particle cannon."
"And don't forget about this, bring on a vector molecular blade."
"Mimi?" Mimi turned her head, watching Eve's every move with curiosity.
What is she doing? It looks like she's burying radishes.
Take one step, then stop; one person, one job.
"That's about it." Little Eve wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Although these methods cannot kill the Fire Thief, they can still trick him.
"How come there's a child here?"
Just as Eve was about to catch her breath, a voice suddenly came.
That was summer at that moment.
"Little child, what are you doing here?" Xia looked anxious at that moment.
After all, he knew what could happen at any time and how dangerous it would be to involve a small child.
"Nai Ke Xia, don't you recognize me?"
"Wait, you are...Ms. Eve?"
Xia then realized what was happening.
Why are you looking like this?
“Energy saving mode,” Little Eve replied casually.
"Mimi~, actually she's not fully awake yet," Mimi added from the side.
"This..." Xia was stunned for a moment.
"Cough cough." Little Eve grabbed Mimi's collar.
“It’s because my strength hasn’t fully recovered yet,” Eve explained.
"However, it's enough."
"Remember, never fight a positional war with an intellectual envoy."
Eve's smile was sinister, which frightened Xia at that moment.
He secretly asked Cecilia in his mind, "What's wrong with her? She seems like a different person."
"Maybe... it's because it's gotten smaller?" Sersis said uncertainly.
While the two were deep in thought, Little Eve had already inscribed the last rune of the magic circle.
"Mimi?" Mimi still looked at Little Eve with curiosity.
"Next, we'll just have to lure you into the trap." Little Eve clapped her hands, instantly concealing her aura completely.
Mimi immediately hid as well.
At that moment, Xia looked at the intricate symbols on the ground and the high-tech weapons that she could barely glean some information from, and her heart was filled with boundless curiosity.
"Science is indeed endless."
"Shh, sit tight, we're about to begin..."
Little Eve's voice interrupted that moment in summer.
He immediately became alert, scrutinizing his surroundings and not letting a single sound escape his notice.
Meanwhile, the Sersis within him was not idle either, gradually increasing the frequency of the use of the fire seed, causing the aura of the fire seed to spread rapidly outward from the center of Suspended Edge City.
This was precisely a tactic used to lure the fire-stealers.
At this moment, the aura of the fire seed was like a lighthouse in the dark night, with extremely strong penetrating power.
Even those who have never seen a fire source and are not sensitive to fire sources will unconsciously look towards the direction of Suspended Peak City.
A moment later, a dull thud echoed from inside Suspended Peak City.
Immediately following was the distinct sound of ByteDance's footsteps.
The sound grew closer and closer, carrying a chilling sense of oppression. At that moment, Xia clearly heard footsteps, and her heart leaped into her throat.
But he still maintained the composure of a scholar.
Little Eve hid behind the crumbling city wall, her pupils slightly contracted, peering through the gaps in the bricks towards the direction from which the sound came.
A tall figure dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask emerged from the darkness; it was none other than the Fire Thief.
"It's finally here."
“Mimi..…”
Little Eve's voice was extremely low, carrying a hint of barely perceptible coldness, and Mimi beside her also held her breath.
One must be cautious when dealing with the fire-stealing wanderer.
After entering the inner city of Suspended Peak City, the Fire Thief first raised his hand to sense the surrounding atmosphere. His masked face swept over the dilapidated Suspended Peak City, as if he had sensed something.
But he paid no attention and instead walked toward the center of Xuanfeng City, completely unaware of the danger lurking in the shadows.
Instantly, a violent explosion occurred where his foot had stepped.
That was the trap that Xia had set before.
Clearly, the trap had no effect on the Firebringer; he emerged from the flames without even his black cloak being burned.
Along the way, the Fire Thief triggered all of that summer's traps.
But without exception, they had no effect.
It wasn't that the Fire Thief hadn't avoided his trap, but rather that the Fire Thief had completely disregarded it.
"tread--"
A soft thud sounded as the Fire Thief's footsteps landed on what appeared to be an ordinary stone slab.
A sudden change has occurred!
They thought it was just another ordinary explosion, but to their surprise, a crack suddenly appeared in the previously flat ground, and a completely transparent bomb rose out from the crack.
Imaginary number bomb.
The special bomb in the Black Tower's authorized blueprint is a stripped-down version of the Imaginary Pulse weapon, incorporating the manufacturing process of the Galaxy Collapse Bomb.
A look of surprise flashed across the Fire Thief's face. He immediately realized something was wrong and tried to retreat quickly.
However, the imaginary bomb detonated much faster than he expected, before he could even retreat.
The imaginary bomb didn't make a deafening explosion; instead, a pale blue energy ripple spread out, causing a slight distortion in space wherever it passed.
The Fire Thief was clearly taken aback.
But then he suddenly realized something was wrong.
As his body was instantly enveloped by energy ripples, he felt a sudden heaviness throughout his body, and the fire energy within his body experienced a brief period of disorder, slowing his movements by half a beat.
The Fire Thief was about to retreat and forcibly stabilize the energy within his body when a muffled "hum" suddenly came from the dilapidated buildings on both sides.
Two futuristic-looking cannons slowly emerged from the stone wall, their muzzles radiating a dazzling blue light.
Pulse particle cannon.
It's the standard version of an interstellar weapon, but that one is also equipped on Star Destroyers and is used to destroy stars.
[Loading, attack privileges obtained, Fire.]
Two blue particle beams instantly poured out from the cannon muzzle.
The light particles, accompanied by a unique whooshing sound, hurtled straight at the Fire Thief.
The Fire Thief had just steadied himself when he saw the beam of light coming. He dared not be careless and crossed his arms in front of him to block it. The golden patterns on his scales instantly lit up, and a thick golden shield appeared out of thin air.
"boom--"
An explosion of world-destroying magnitude occurred instantly, the powerful flames blasting half of Suspended Peak City into dust, and even the remaining half of the city was affected by the energy ripples, nearly collapsing.
