Chapter 130 Eden 18
Ian felt the temperature drop.
Exposure to the most primitive cosmic environment without any defenses is no small challenge for any life form.
However, Ian and Clark are exceptions. Their physical strength has already exceeded the limit, and the outer space environment has no effect on them.
Ian glanced at the ships surrounding them, turned his face to look at Clark behind him, and remained silent.
He knew that these fleets were all directed at Clark. Gestalt did not have the ability to self-check, it would only encircle and kill sub-individuals that showed abnormalities, and as long as they did not show abnormalities, it would not notice sub-individuals at all. Already broke away.
In other words, Gestalt didn't even know that Ian was already an anomalous sub-individual, and it would only come for Clark.
Clark's danger level has an evaluation standard in Gestalt. At the beginning, his rating was extremely low, but after he successfully escaped for the first time, Gestalt immediately raised his danger level a lot.
Judging from the fact that the captain of the scavenger team was dispatched directly for the second time, Gestalt was already extremely wary of him.
But...not even Captain Scavenger came back.
So far, Clark's risk factor in the gestalt has been directly pulled to the highest level. This time, he dispatched an entire legion and scavenger team to clean up!
Clark looked at the endless ship and frowned slightly.
No matter how powerful he is, his strength has its limits. It is impossible for him to win in the face of hundreds of space battleships like locusts.
Moreover, these battleships are simply incomparable with locusts!
Even the most basic frigate can easily raze any country on the earth to the ground, not to mention that there are even three battleships in this fleet.
Clark only hesitated for half a second, and immediately said to Ian: "Ian, we'd better leave now, I can't guarantee that we can take care of..."
However, he stopped halfway through his words.
Because he saw that Ian took a step forward, and then he turned his head and looked at Clark who was aimed at by countless weapons, with a calm expression and nothing in his eyes.
"...Ian?" Clark was a little taken aback.
"..." Ian was silent for a moment, but only for a moment, then he turned around again and walked towards the Gestalt camp.
"Ian!" Clark raised his voice and stopped him, perhaps because there were friendly troops on the enemy's side, and countless ships fell silent at this moment, and did not act immediately.
"...Come with me." Clark stretched out his hand and looked at Ian sincerely. The sincere and warm emotion in his eyes made Ian stop and turned to look at him, "You don't belong to them ,Come with me."
silence.
It was obviously only a moment of silence, but it seemed as if time had been suspended.
Clark's heart was beating like a drum, and he looked at Ian with expectation, but was afraid that Ian would reject him.After all, in this universe, Ian doesn't remember the things that happened between them at all.
Ian stopped.
He turned his head to look at Clark, his eyes seemed a little stunned and dazed, and after a while, his eyes fell on Clark's outstretched hand.
His hand moved slightly, as if he was about to reach out to Clark.
However, at this moment, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded in his mind——
[Character behavior deviation, pollution degree +7.25%! 】
"Damn!" Hawthorn almost scolded, it's been so long since OOC, he almost forgot about it!
According to his understanding of the samurai vest, he should reach out and follow Clark now, there is no doubt about it.
However, the problem is that this is Ian's dream, and his self-cognition in the dream is completely lagging behind!He has a certain impression of Clark, but it's just a little impression. He can't think of anything about the Metropolis at the moment.
—cannot follow Clark.
Even with a 7.25% increase in pollution, you can’t go, because a lie needs countless lies to cover up, and a behavior that seriously violates the samurai’s personality will inevitably lead to countless follow-up deviant behaviors, which will only make the pollution snowball. The same is getting more and more terrible.
This cruel reality made Ian retract his half-stretched hand as if he had been electrocuted.
It took only a second for Clark's expression to change from surprise to disappointment: "...Ian?"
Ian turned around, took one last deep look at Clark, and then walked in the direction of Gestalt without hesitation.
However, Clark still followed up unwillingly, trying to hold Ian: "Wait, Ian, I—"
"boom--!!"
It seems that he mistakenly thought that Clark wanted to hurt Captain Scavenger. At this moment, the particle light spears on the three battleships fired at the same time. Clarke.
Clark, who was all focused on Ian, didn't react at all. In an instant, his position was pierced by countless light spears. The burst of strong light even made Ian blink a little too sensitive. s eyes.
He froze for a moment.
At this moment, he felt that his heart, which had been in silence since birth, suddenly beat slightly.
The huge energy generated by the gathering of those particle light spears is hard for even the neutron armor to resist.
This abnormal sub-individual...will die, right?
At the moment when he had this cognition, he blinked, and some strange memories that didn't seem to belong to him suddenly appeared in his mind.
Those memories flashed by like fragments, and he tried hard to grasp them. The torrent of memories flowed through his fingertips, leaving only some faint touches, like a dream.
Ian looked at the converging point of the energy beams that could burn his countless pupils blind, and said in a daze:
"...Clark?"
……
Clark felt himself being hit with great energy.
This huge energy almost decomposes the material structure and particles that make up him, destroying his body from the most microscopic level, making it difficult for his steel body to resist.
He finally understood why Ian was seriously injured after being hit by the gamma laser.
The horror of this weapon is simply unbelievable!
Clark felt that his superficial skin was about to be destroyed. At this moment, another bullet fired from a kinetic energy weapon rushed towards him!
"Bang!!!"
The gauss cannon hit Clark accurately, and the huge impact directly knocked him out. He could only feel the world spinning, and at the same time, he even felt an irresistible sense of weakness——
Clark barely caught the flash of green light in his eyes.
... green kryptonite?
Why is there green kryptonite?
How did Gestalt know... his weakness was green kryptonite?
His thoughts only stayed here, and a cold and boundless darkness enveloped him.
He passed out.
……
Ian watched as Clark closed his eyes after being knocked into the air. The big man with a smile in his eyes seemed to have lost his life.He closed his eyes and flew into the void, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Ian stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at the direction Clark was going away, and behind him, the frigate and destroyer had already moved, and the battleship's muzzle aimed at Clark who had gone away again, and the light of the charged power began to flicker stand up.
Ian realized that Clark had lost consciousness, and if Gestalt continued to hunt him down, he would be in big trouble.
He might... die.
Such a recognition made the pupils in Ian's eyes spin chaotically.
He didn't understand what the strange emotion that was burning in his chest at the moment was.
All he knew was that Clark was the one who would feed him strange food when he couldn't move; To save his man from the gamma laser.
It's the one who always makes him feel like he's forgotten something important.
He didn't want Clark dead.
Not at all.
...he wanted to save him.
Such a small thought took root in Ian's barren heart.
For the first time, the captain of the scavenger who only knew about killing and clearing had such a strong urge to "save people".
Even if the only thing he can do is still kill.
In the end, those small pupils gathered together, and killing intent suddenly emerged, locking onto the legion standing in front of him.
"Chong-"
Accompanied by the tremor of metal and the buzzing of particles, Ian's wrist shook, and he pulled out his knife from the void.
He stood between the galaxy, with the tip of the knife slanting downward, standing in front of the fleet spread out like locusts, looking at the Exterminator Legion in front of him expressionlessly.
"Alert, R-0001 is in an abnormal state - it has been confirmed as an abnormal sub-individual, perform medical measures, eliminate -"
The cold mechanical sound rang in his ears, but Ian didn't seem to hear it. He looked into the distance and started to turn the muzzle to his battleship, and clenched the handle of the knife in his hand.
Afterwards, without hesitation, he rushed towards the thousands of troops and the hail of bullets!
……
Clark didn't know how long he had been out.
His consciousness fell into chaos, and when he woke up again, he realized that he was awakened by a strong nausea——
Because he never collided with anything, nor was he captured by the planet's gravity, he actually maintained the posture of turning somersaults in place, drifting in space for several hours.
Clark: "...vomit."
He quickly stabilized his figure and stopped turning somersaults. It took a while for his brain, which had been blank due to dizziness, to regain his sanity.
Afterwards, Clark immediately checked his body.
There were some burn marks on his skin, but he had basically healed, and his body was almost undamaged, not even a bit of weakness caused by green kryptonite, which made him even suspect that the green kryptonite that suddenly appeared was actually Not his hallucinations.
——It shouldn’t be.
Clark was a little confused.
Why did Gestalt let him go?
It stands to reason that with their attitude of killing the anomalous sub-individuals, there should be no reason to let the other party go after the prey has been stunned.
Clark pondered, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
A bad premonition enveloped him in an instant, and he quickly confirmed the direction from which he floated, and flew towards the original approximate direction.
After a few minutes, he found himself and Ian surrounded by gestalts.
With just one glance, Clark was so shocked by everything in front of him that he stood there dumbfounded.
— all over the wreckage.
Everything in front of me can only be described as horrific. There are fragments of warships that have been cut to pieces everywhere. Countless men in black robes from the scavenger team that have been disembowelled are floating among the fragments of the warship like space junk. Not far away, a Half of the battleship that was directly cut in half was floating, and the other half was nowhere to be seen. The muzzle of its heavy energy weapon was completely torn out, twisted into twists, and hit the deck of the ship. At this moment Thick black smoke was rising.
"boom--"
The remaining explosions are still ringing, and the battlefield has not yet cooled down. Everything indicates that this battle has just ended.
Clark stared at all this with wide eyes.
Who did this?
He immediately checked the incision of the battleship, the incision was extremely smooth, the fracture was burned by high temperature, and the metal was deformed.The shell of the battleship is covered with a crystal composite coating, and Clark can't find a second answer to break through and cut this coating, except for the long knife in Ian's hand that gives Clark an extremely threatening feeling.
Could it be Ian?
But if it was Ian, where is he now?
Clark's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Looking at the wreckage around him, he felt that his breathing was about to stop.
——He knew very well that even he himself would find it difficult to retreat unscathed in the face of these legions whose technological level has surpassed that of Krypton, let alone killing so many fleets and scavengers like this up.
This can only be achieved in a desperate battle.
The ominous premonition in Clark's heart became stronger and stronger, and soon, he found the source of this premonition.
He saw Ian.
Or, to be more precise - he saw half Ian.
The small figure floated quietly in the air, and the left half of his body had disappeared without a trace.
Although Clark had never heard any sound in Ian's body, at this moment, in the almost suffocating silence, Clark suddenly realized that this time was different from every time before.
This time-
he died.
