Chapter 160 The Rules of the Thunder Universe? !
On the other side, Susanna couldn't help feeling worried when she heard the intermittent crisp collisions and impacts outside the wall.
"Ms. Rita...did something happen?"
Just then, a mechanical clicking sound was heard, scaring Susanna so much that she turned around quickly.
"Who?!"
Suddenly, dozens of mechanical simulacrums resembling gray snakes appeared behind Susanna and Catherine. Without exception, they all aimed the infrared rays on their right arm devices at her and Catherine.
"Miss Catherine! Please get behind me!"
Although Susanna was panicked and had cold sweat on her forehead, in order to protect Miss Catherine, she still displayed her weapon in her hand and fought with the mechanical simulator in front of her.
"Even though I'm only B-rank, I can't bring disgrace upon the name of Team Phosphorus Sand!"
Swish-
I don't know if they were imitations or something else, but these mechanical simulacrums were surprisingly easy to deal with. As she watched them all fall to the ground, Susanna showed a proud smile on her face. She couldn't wait to turn around and congratulate Catherine.
"Ms. Catherine, the enemies have been eliminated! Are you safe now...?"
But... instead of Catherine expressing her gratitude with joy as expected, she raised a pistol to her forehead with a cold and ruthless look and a hint of contempt.
"...Miss...Katherine...?"
Susanna's forehead was covered with cold sweat, her eyes were filled with disbelief, and she let out a faint moan trying to figure out why, but the next second...
"...I'm sorry, Susanna... God, I can't go."
boom!boom!
After two gunshots, Catherine frowned as she looked at Susanna, who was lying in a pool of blood with a bullet piercing her head, and a look of contempt appeared on her face.
"These soldiers are useless if they can't even deal with such a weak Valkyrie... But now we just need to wait for Master Jackal to deal with Rita."
Catherine gracefully put away her gun and turned around to return to the ground, but at this moment, something strange happened.
Her head had been pierced, blood and brain matter were all over the floor, and Susanna, who looked lifeless, stood up slowly and intact.
She came behind Catherine swaying without making a sound, the smile on her face twisted and full of resentment like a ghost.
"That's too much, Miss Catherine~"
Susanna's amber eyes shone with light, and she sang in a sad but song-like voice.
"What--?!"
At this moment, Catherine's pupils constricted and cold sweat broke out on her cheeks. But before she turned her head, golden feathers appeared in the air and slowly fell down. Catherine, who was touched by the golden feathers, fell into silence, her eyes dull, as if she had become a puppet waiting to be controlled by someone.
"Yu Duchen couldn't find the location of the Second God Key either. This woman is just a discarded pawn, just as Jiang Ming said."
"but--"
Otto took out a special needle and inserted it into Catherine's arm. He began to draw blood from her body and then injected it into his liquid soul steel body.
“On the chessboard, even abandoned pieces have their uses.”
Soon, as the DNA took effect, the original Susanna turned into Catherine. She adjusted her glasses and chuckled as if everything was as he planned.
"Next, let me go meet that careless boss."
.......................
On a hill, Catherine stood behind a woman wearing a dog-head mask and reported the current situation.
The Jackal could not help but sneer after hearing this.
"Haha, the Valkyrie of Destiny is just like this. She fell into my trap so easily. In just a little while, we can get rid of the S-class Valkyrie Rita."
"All this is thanks to Lord Jackal's wise strategy. Thanks to you for using the soul hidden in the stone slab as bait, the Valkyrie was hooked. From the very beginning, Destiny fell into your trap."
Katherine said as she bowed.
"Well, although the records in the soul steel are true, the legend of the holy sword is just a myth created based on the deeds of the Lord. Destiny is indeed too naive."
"However, Bishop Otto of Heaven's Destiny has already set his sights on the Second Key of God. I don't think he will give up. I think Lord Jackal should move the Key of God to a safer place?"
"That's not necessary."
The Jackal walked closer to Catherine as he spoke. The two were only a foot apart at the moment, and a cold voice came from under the mask.
"The Second God Key is a sacred object that cannot be touched by mortals. Although it has been placed in the most conspicuous place for thousands of years, it is a place that will never be discovered no matter how hard the Destiny investigates."
"The ability of the Second God Key is to control space. It cannot be observed from the outside."
Hearing this, Catherine smiled and thanked him.
"Thank you, Lord Jackal, for telling me these secrets. Since Lord Jackal trusts me so much, I will definitely..."
boom--!
Before he could finish his words, another bullet pierced through him. His body instantly became weak and he collapsed to the ground. The splattered blood smeared on his neck and the grass, like a bunch of beautiful red spider lilies.
"No need for the future. Just take your life as a thank you gift. You have been in contact with Rita, and destiny will definitely investigate your whereabouts. Only your death can be the best loyalty to the organization."
"You smartass woman, you are just a chess piece in my hand that I can throw away at will."
The jackal was about to turn around and leave, but Catherine, who was lying on the ground, laughed out loud.
"Haha, you are really cruel and ruthless."
“————?!”
The Jackal was frightened by this sudden scene and turned back suddenly, only to see Catherine, who should have been dead, slowly standing up. Her body began to change, and the liquid metal gradually transformed into the appearance of another person.
"It's really sad that my good acting skills are wasted."
"How can this be... No! You... This face is! Bishop of Heaven's Destiny... Otto! What on earth is going on!!"
The Jackal's tone was full of confusion and anger. Seeing this, Otto felt as if he saw a clown, but he still saluted slightly to show his respect.
"Haha, these are not important, Ms. Jackal. I sincerely invite you to visit the headquarters of Destiny. When the time comes, I will explain my plan to you in detail."
"Also, regarding the Second God's Key, I also have a lot to ask you about."
But the Jackal felt insulted when she heard this, and she screamed and shot at Otto.
boom!boom!
"Humph! Do you think you win like this?"
Although the bullets fired in succession successfully penetrated Otto's liquid soul steel body, his body recovered in just a blink of an eye. It was obvious that ordinary weapons would not cause any harm to him.
"Haha - Ms. Jackal, don't waste your energy. My body made of soul steel cannot be destroyed!"
While the two were confronting each other, Raven, another cadre of the World Serpent, saw from a distance this situation which was not good for them.
"Tsk, if the Third God Key hadn't suddenly disappeared, there would be no way I could do anything to you."
Raven was silent for a while, then reluctantly took out a small ball of blue-gold light from somewhere, and her thoughts returned to that time...
......................
In the dark passage, there were two human figures walking one in front and one behind. Both of them were wearing black cloaks and walking towards the seemingly endless distance.
"..."
Raven followed the gray snake silently. She was in a very bad mood at the moment. She had finally obtained the third divine key distributed from above, but it disappeared before she had the chance to use it for long, or rather, she had no chance to use it at all.
This is something that would make anyone feel panic, suffocated, angry and uneasy no matter who it happens to.
"Why did you take me there?"
The raven frowned and asked the gray snake in front of her. After hearing about her experience, the gray snake didn't say anything else except "Follow me" and kept leading the way.
But the further she walked along the road, the more familiar it felt.
"The whereabouts of the Third God Key is unknown, but we may need it in the future, so because of its disappearance, we need to go find someone."
"Is it there? Can you bring the things there into reality?"
There was a hint of disbelief in Raven's tone, while Gray Snake shook his head.
"No, the greatest function of the Third God Key is to help us remove the obstacles in front of us, but now this power is gone, so we need to seek another power."
"What force..."
"Here we are."
The raven originally wanted to ask what kind of power was worth their trip, but the gray snake said that they had already arrived.
"Are we there yet? No matter what, you can't play tricks..."
"What's the matter?"
“————?!”
A male voice that sounded emotionless reached his ears, but it was still dark. However, Raven, who was best at assassination, could not hear where the voice came from.
There is no doubt that the other party hid it very well.
Moreover, she could feel, even just the oppressive feeling emanating from the sound coming out of his mouth, that it would be easy for the guy who was speaking to kill her.
The thought made her break out in a cold sweat.
The gray snake didn't seem surprised, and began to talk about the reason for their visit as if they had been here many times.
"The Third God Key suddenly disappeared and is nowhere to be found."
"..."
The voice in the darkness seemed to be silent for a while, but then he just expressed it lightly.
"Got it. This is for you."
Although no one was specifically mentioned, Raven was surprised to find that the other party seemed to be referring to her. She subconsciously stretched out her hand, and then a ball of blue-gold light appeared in her hand.
Just as she was confused, a voice in the dark gave an explanation.
"The Third God Key is of little use to you. It is now in the hands of a more suitable person. But don't think too much about it. It will do you no good."
"And this thing I give you can solve a small problem for you in the future. Remember, you must use it when necessary, otherwise you will destroy yourself."
"I know...I know."
There was absolutely no room for refusal, and Raven nodded with sweat on his cheeks.
"Well, I know that's not enough, Graysnake."
"My subordinate understands."
The gray snake bowed slightly into the void with respect before leading the raven out, while the voice muttered to itself.
"You're finally here, you'd better be careful..."
.................
My thoughts return to the present——
Looking at the blue-gold ball of light in her hand, although Raven was unwilling, she knew that now was the best time to use it. She gritted her teeth and threw it hard in the direction of Otto.
"Tsk, don't let me down!!"
The blue-gold ball of light flew quickly towards Otto as if it had received an order. In just the moment it was thrown out, almost everyone present felt the power hidden in the ball of light.
They all looked in the direction of the light ball with surprised expressions in tacit understanding, including Jiang Ming who was hiding in the dark.
"?! This power!"
Jiang Ming widened his eyes in surprise, then his figure flashed and soon appeared in front of Otto, and at that moment, the blue-gold ball of light hit him head-on.
.................
"here it is......?"
He seemed to be brought to an unfamiliar environment by this ball of light, which was boundless and had no end in sight. At this moment, he seemed to sense something in the sky.
But when he looked up, he found a blue-gold lightning ball with a diameter of nearly three thousand meters hitting him from the air.
“————?!”
A feeling of despair and oppression overwhelmed me. This was definitely not a power that people in this world should possess.
Although he was shocked, Jiang Ming knew that if he didn't react at this moment, he would definitely die if he took the blow head-on!
He quickly released his aura, and white flames emerged from his body.
"The Third Generation of Thunder Seals, the Three Sealing Techniques of the Thunder Emperor, the First One is the Sealing of Gods!"
Without any hesitation, Jiang Ming instantly entered the state of being a god, and his strength increased tenfold!
"Destroy the love!"
Jiang Ming then entered the state of extinction. With the blessing of extinction, his strength increased thirty times!
Jiang Ming obtained the Eight Desolations Sword, pointed the sword at the sky and shouted.
"The rules of the swordsmanship universe. Here comes the sword. The sword energy covers the mountains and rivers!"
Boom boom boom! ! !
Thunder was heard, and hundreds of thousand-foot-long Eight Desolate Swords gradually condensed behind Jiang Ming. In the next second, they all merged together, and in an instant they became nearly ten thousand feet long!
"Break it for me."
Jiang Ming shouted loudly, and the Eight Desolate Sword also received the order and quickly stabbed towards the huge thunder ball.
Bang----!!!!!
When the two collided, there was a loud bang and a dazzling white light covered Jiang Ming's vision. He knew that the collision of these two huge energies would definitely produce a strong explosion.
Although he wanted to escape quickly, he was still swept away by the explosion that followed. His body felt like it was being torn apart by pain, and he felt like he was about to die.
"Ahem——"
Just as he was trying his best to resist, in the next moment, Jiang Ming suddenly returned to the grassland.
As the pain disappeared, he opened his eyes and saw the current scene. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have disappeared for less than a second!
Realizing that it was not advisable to stay here for long, Jiang Ming quickly teleported away with Otto, and the Jackal heard the Raven's explanation and left tactfully.
...................
"System, what is that?"
When Jiang Ming brought Otto to a safe place, he immediately asked questions to the system.

[Host, that might be...]
【The rules of the thunder and lightning universe! 】
