Chapter 724: Angel
Looking at the figure of Heidelin before him turning into flying ash and disappearing bit by bit on the spot, obviously Fisher knew her divine powers were vast, obviously knowing with her immense strength the passing away of an avatar completely wouldn't affect anything at all. But when her pupils dilated looking at him, her words slurred due to overflowing fresh blood in her mouth, Fisher would still feel a moment of heartache.
He gazed at the body beneath him turning into flying ash bit by bit, yet his eyes inevitably raised to look at the Hamon Hamon who was still expressionless. And saw Her standing amidst a patch of dimness and mess looking back. Fisher silently stood up, only speaking after a long while,
"Heon was killed by her, looks like you are also soon."
But Hamon Hamon still remained as calm as an ancient well. She shook Her head, asking Fisher,
"From the time I invited Mr. Fisher to come here, the remuneration I could pay was already stated very clearly... I am willing to pay my Authority, and to a Deity, if they lack the unimaginably immense strength of the Ocean and the others, losing Authority signifies destruction."
"You have already prepared for death, so you don't fear the Ocean?"
"Exactly so."
"Swoosh!"
Fisher narrowed his eyes. A silver light flashed by, the Fluid Sword blade in his hand then rapidly retracted turning into a sword hilt. He turned his head to glance at the Renee behind him whose soul was still somewhat unsettled saying,
"I am truly becoming increasingly curious about your objective in inviting me here... or to say, you are like the Ocean, also coming for that precious property on my body?""Related to it, but not thoughts wanting to possess it. Even if I capture you here, I am unable to bring you out, this is something even the Ocean hasn't accomplished; and taking a step further, even if taking you out, I also cannot escape the Ocean's liquidation. The Barrier is not a cage, but the sturdiest and most reliable safeguard of this world. Escaping out signifies seeking one's own destruction for the living beings of this world, let alone fleeing taking a precious property like you..."
Listening to Hamon Hamon's explanation, Renee only then retrieved her attention from spacing out. She couldn't help but think of her previous plan wanting to secretly flee taking Fisher, abandoning this world. Looking at it now, this plan was truly too naive.
"So, no need to worry, I harbor no malice towards you."
Hamon Hamon turned Her head, inspecting the damages around. The Shelter just experienced the impact of the Spirit World pollution. Although it had already been settled, the destruction was irreversible. Those realities eroded by the pollution were still riddled with gaping wounds. And the place Hamon Hamon was going to take Fisher and the others obviously She valued extremely highly, therefore inspection was necessary.
Fisher lowered his head, picking up the Japanese Yen banknote floating from unknown where, crumpling and rubbing it into a ball tossing it on the ground. Only then did he turn back walking towards Renee's direction, concernedly asking,
"Are you alright, Renee? What did she do when we were separated previously, it seems your condition isn't very good."
"Mhm... she said, the Infinity Authority was originally her Authority. Probably... her targeting me this time was to re-grasp her Authority? But I sealed the pathway to the Authority, she didn't succeed... But I still felt like something was snatched by her when contacting her. Fortunately you arrived in time then..."
Renee and the Heidelin just now were both avatars of a Deity, but the scale of battle between each other wasn't considered large, the power used also didn't display the might of a Deity at all.
Of course there was a reason Renee was so. Previously she had said her main body must stay near the Barrier, and not just staying there, even the power itself had to be put into matters of certain aspects. Thus Renee completely couldn't use the power of her main body, looking just like an ordinary Witch... probably a bit stronger than a Witch.
But Heidelin being even weaker than Renee... Fisher completely hadn't expected.
No matter how lacking, from the contents Ramastia narrated, from the miserable state before Heon's death, the Ocean's level was unknown how much higher. Yet her avatar was truly just like this identity Heidelin, merely an ordinary human...
What was the reason for this?
A bit of inspiration faintly formed within Fisher's inner heart, but after all the evidence was too little, he was still unable to confirm. And at this moment, the Emhart in Fisher's embrace also squeezed out with lingering trepidation. He looked at Renee and Fisher, saying in a shocked voice,
"Did... did she leave?"
"Mhm."
"Heavens... That Baimon who deserves a thousand cuts, scared me to death! Is that fellow very terrifying? Look, she even scared Renee's complexion into looking unwell... You don't know, previously when I told Fisher she was very scary he didn't even believe it, simply having his mind blinded by lard by that fellow, indulging in beautiful appearances, now he knows... Boohoo..."
Fisher pinched Emhart's drake voice in his embrace. He raised his eyes sizing up the Renee before his eyes in detail. As expected like Emhart said, feeling a bit of abnormality on her face.
For some unknown reason, those beautiful purple eyes that originally carried a teasing implication, up until this moment, merely seeing him look over she would dodge away. The fair skin color on her face even more so involuntarily became dyed with a layer of pink amidst Fisher's sizing up gaze, making Fisher unavoidably ask more concernedly,
"What's wrong, feeling unwell?"
"..."
Renee pursed her lips, hearing this hurriedly shook her head, saying,
"No, I am very well..."
It's just, having that tiny bit of hunger.
Thinking carefully, that scorching heat sensation of the soul shown by the Ocean's avatar, whatever Heidelin, just now, wasn't it exactly Fisher's? In the past she hadn't felt it, now carefully sizing up Fisher before her eyes, that fascinating feeling was exactly like an alluring gold mountain placed before you waiting for you to mine, just depending on when you are willing to lift the pickaxe to ruthlessly excavate...
Something's not right!
Renee thought again.
That fellow showed herself the scorching heat of Fisher's soul, isn't that the aftertaste left over after someone else ate? When did she eat? Could it truly be only she herself who hasn't eaten anything?
Moreover, when exactly did that fellow have this kind of unclear relationship with Fisher?
The intense jealousy and the anger wanting to send an army to hold someone accountable within her inner heart instantly suppressed the hunger within her body. Thus, in Fisher's eyes, he then saw a certain incomprehensible wonder.
Only seeing Renee, whose expression was still not quite right just now, seemingly having something on her mind, suddenly blink her eyes freezing on the spot. Subsequently those abnormal expressions on her face instantly receded like a tide, but what remained was not a friendly smiling face, but a nuclearly-friendly cold smile.
Fisher instantly felt things were going bad. Just as he was about to get up and change the topic, he had already heard Renee's question seemingly swinging a guillotine blade,
"Previously that Ocean's avatar told me, you and her also share a relationship?"
"...Mhm, in the past."
"In the past?"
Renee's expression was half-believing and half-doubting. Speaking of this her waist didn't ache and her back wasn't sore anymore. She crossed her arms and floated up, using words to replay Fisher's every action and movement just now,
"Don't know who it was just now seeing her pierced through by Hamon Hamon still couldn't resist running over... didn't you know that was merely her avatar? And not her main body, it wouldn't be much even if she died, at most just a bit of damage to the consciousness..."
Would there be damage?
Fisher's eyes flashed slightly. At this moment remaining calm in the face of danger on his face, saying to Renee,
"It's not caring about her, only obviously there was a chance to learn more information from her mouth, yet letting her leave just like this. Her objective is still unclear, only able to confirm it's related to you... you know, even if it's your avatar, I also wouldn't hope you suffer the slightest injury."
"Well..." Renee's eyes dodged for an instant, the fingers of her crossed arms also unavoidably beginning to tap, "Don't you change the topic... exactly when did you and her get acquainted, having had soul conn... mhm, that kind of relationship?"
"..."
"Speak ah."
Is this something that can be said?
"Ten thousand years ago, when crossing back to the Holy Sanctuary."
Pausing for a moment, Fisher confessed honestly.
"I can testify!"
At this moment, Doctor Gou Wen behind also heard the conversation here, hurriedly walking over righteously, seemingly wanting to act as a selfless witness.
Renee glanced at Gou Wen, looking at Fisher again saying,
"Before I sent you back didn't I warn you, not to be messing with flowers and grass? You were pursued by death at that time and could still have that kind of relationship with other females, and furthermore an existence related to the Ocean?"
"No, I..."
Thinking carefully, when he went he truly had no thoughts in that aspect. The entire process he was being attacked by Helaire, thereby causing his turning over a new leaf then to fail.
But Gou Wen at the side still wanted to seize the good opportunity. Regarding the case of "Fisher's Evil Deeds Judgment Ten Thousand Years Ago", he who was at the primary scene the entire process had a lot to talk about.
He wanted to expose, exposing the obscene relationship between Fisher and Helaire before the Moon, suing him for a crime unforgivable by death.
But Renee glanced at the surrounding space gradually brightening up, yet decided to stay her hand and drop the matter for now.
After all currently there were still other more urgent matters to busy with, she also didn't quite like discussing these private matters before outsiders.
Even before the females sharing a close relationship with Fisher she knew to restrain herself, let alone before Gou Wen within Hamon Hamon's base.
She pouted, reaching out her hand to quietly pinch on the small of Fisher's back. That place was where her sigil exploded when originally teleporting back. Unknown how she accurately grabbed there.
Fisher innocently looked towards Renee, yet she stared straight back, hinting "we'll settle scores later".
Subsequently, Renee then straightened her body, speaking before Gou Wen could speak his mind freely,
"Alright, let's go see the situation on Hamon Hamon's side first... She could even bear to lay hands on the Ocean's avatar, if She wasn't acting in cahoots with the Ocean, then She is truly daring enough,"
Gou Wen directly became a fool. He blinked his eyes, looking at Renee skipping past him before his eyes, truly suspecting if her brain wattled (short-circuited).
I have exclusive breaking news here, he was all prepared to write a great deal about Fisher's crimes, as a result you're just dropping it like this?
Gou Wen instantly felt like he ate a fly, even feeling himself was the little wife who felt angry after looking at him messing with flowers and grass outside while being deceived by Fisher...
Fine fine fine, you're not anxious, what am I anxious for?
Wait a minute! You aren't anxious I still have to be anxious for Jasmine!
Fisher glanced at Gou Wen beating his chest and stomping his feet beside him. It seems although his age is older, as a devoted Whale-person obviously lacked experience in this aspect.
How is this the past, clearly still waiting for himself not far in the future, just temporarily escaping a calamity for now.
Who told him to act recklessly even when pursued by death when returning to the past, deserved it.
But speaking of which Gou Wen is all here, where did David run off to? Just now right after resolving the pollution created by Helaire using unknown methods and coming out he wasn't seen again.
He turned his head to ask Gou Wen again, only obtaining his weak and feeble "Up ahead" answer.
He then followed the floating Renee ahead, asking her seemingly thinking of something,
"Just now the Spirit World pollution her avatar produced..."
"!"
Bringing this up, Renee's face burned up becoming rosy red,
"Don't speak!"
"?"
Fisher raised his eyebrows, and Renee turned her head to sweep her gaze up and down his body, only unknown as to why her gaze always glanced downwards.
"...Hmph!"
Her lips trembled slightly, in hesitating to speak the speed of floating forward became faster again.
The energy within the Shelter gradually recovered, the originally dim environment beaten bright by the fluorescent lights from the ceiling direction.
Also precisely because of this, the true appearance of this area where they plummetted from above was revealed.
It turns out this place was an area before a massive black gate. Basically nothing was placed, only on the ground laid coarse circuit lines flowing out from that black gate.
At this moment, that black gate of roughly over ten meters was slightly open, the side Hamon Hamon said to go inspect just now, and David was obviously within it as well.
Fisher led Renee and Gou Wen walking towards that gate. He probed inside slightly. Only after seeing David staring at something's back figure did he completely enter within,
"David?"
"..."
Fisher called out to David once, but David seemingly focusedly looked at the scenery before his eyes completely without response, making Fisher also have to temporarily keep quiet, sizing up the environment inside the gate.
Yet seeing the air inside this gate was fresh, like a primitive forest after rain carrying water vapor, refreshing one's spirit.
And the environment was indeed so. Various colorful thin smoke swirled all over here. Through that smoke, Fisher saw large swaths of a certain black organic matter of varying colors climbing on the ground and walls...
That black matter squirmed slowly, making Fisher feel that thing was like some living creature, yet unable to say what it was.
Instead Gou Wen beside possessing rich medical knowledge frowned, squatting down to size up this black matter on the ground and walls, muttering softly,
"It's some kind of mycelium..."
"Mycelium?"
"Ah, and it's alive..."
Gou Wen pinched the blackened mycelium powder on his hand, raising his head together with Fisher and Renee to look at this incomparably spacious space behind the gate.
Yet seeing small bulges resembling hilltops jumping up and down continuously on the ground. In Fisher's visible field of vision, every single one varied in size, the tallest only the height of one person.
Because this place was spacious, within the弥漫 (diffusing) mist faintly existed even more un-seen-through black mycelium bulges.
And that David floating in mid-air looking at these large and small mycelium bulges before his eyes, his arm and body unexpectedly both began to tremble slightly...
Fisher saw his abnormality, then arrived behind him, asking him,
"Did you discover anything, David?"
Seemingly this opening mouth from Fisher woke the artificial intelligence before his eyes from that frozen expression. He stared blankly turning his head, his expression carrying a smear of somewhat abrupt shock and disbelief.
Yet seeing him shake his head, saying to Fisher,
"No, Mr. Fisher... But just now, that Deity Hamon Hamon told me, these... are exactly what She spoke of... the Angels who survived."
