Demon Hunter

Book 6 Chapter 40.15 - Mutual Love

The flame stream already controlled this entire region, the private hospital long enveloped in raging flames. Under the extreme temperature, everything that was and wasn’t flammable all went up in flames. Under the darkness of night, one could see a raging pillar of flames surging high into the skies in Dragon City. The stream of heat still continuously spread, covering the half of Dragon City it passed in flames. Dragon City’s surviving humans were first in shock, and then they ran in horror, trying to prevent themselves from being caught in this terrifying heat stream that was comparable to a nuclear warhead’s explosion. The speed at which the heat stream swept past was far greater than running speed, the humans that were within its range of cover, aside from the few most powerful ones, were not able to survive. Fortunately, when the flame covered half of Dragon City, it suddenly stopped, not continuing, or else all of Dragon City would have went up in flames. Despite this being the case, the over ten thousand degree temperature the heat stream released still turned a larger half of Dragon City into a domain of death.

Within the raging flames, the Spider Empress Lanaxis slowly walked over like a goddess born in flames. She carried a distant indifference as she said, “The pursuit of power and eternal life is every creature’s innate instinct. I am no exception.”

Even before the aloof and remote Spider Empress, Helen still remained ice-cold and indifferent like before. “Since you’ve already merged with two parts of the perfect body, then you should know that the lord cannot appear, nor can it be reborn.”

“Why?” Lanaxis’ smile was proud and cold. “Only because the lord is the most powerful ultra life form that stands above all life? Your misgivings, before my eyes, seems to be nothing more than a low level existence’s excuse for survival. The meaning of life is precisely in evolution!”

“I instead believe that the meaning of life is in existence itself.” Helen’s placed her hands into her pockets, calmly saying this.

Lanaxis stopped when she reached three meters in front of Helen. The current Spider Empress already returned to being the form of a normal human, just like when she first met Su. She raised her head slightly, asking Helen, “Then please tell me, aside from power, what other reason is there for us to reject the lord’s appearance? Just because you all betrayed it, my little apostle?”

Helen revealed a bitter smile, shaking her head and saying, “Of course there is another reason, but I am unable to tell you, because I do not know either. The memories that were inherited pertaining to this is also vacant. However, the lord cannot appear, this is a warning engraved within the depths of our bloodlines. What I can tell you, is only this much.”

“The perfect body isn’t the lord, but rather only the shell left behind after the lord’s death.”

Helen retorted, saying, “Isn’t it just a shell without life?”

“Even if the lord has a chance of being reborn through this, it is only an ultra life form. At the very least, I have a chance of suppressing it!”

“If that happens, then you would be the lord!”

“What is so impossible about that?!” Lanaxis dspoke resolutely.

Helen sighed, saying, “That is definitely impossible.”

A minute later, an unprecedented great explosion shook up the entire planet. Dragon City, along with all of the humans inside, all life, from then on, became history.

The explosions’ blast waves didn’t spread that far, the quakes not as great as some earthquakes of history either. However, the two types of energy attributes that clashed, in limited perception of the living, was the most shocking.

---

The sensation Su felt was extremely powerful, his short light blonde hair standing on end, every cell under his skin moving about, ready to erupt with their greatest power at any time. He felt a deep threat, as if a male tiger in heat saw a stronger tiger in its territory, the conclusion destined to be a battle to the death. However, Su attention wasn’t placed on this, all of his focus concentrated on the young lady standing on the roof of Valhalla.

Bierlus beneath his feet was currently winding about restlessly, subconsciously stirring up powerful winds with its wings. It even released low roars to remind Su of its own uneasiness. The explosions’ energy nature made it feel extremely uncomfortable, in its perspective, ascertaining the cause of the explosion in the distance was much more important than dealing with the apostles. There were only four apostles, and regardless of whether it was the creator or the destroyer, they shouldn’t lose to the incomplete apostles. Even though the sixth unexpectedly fell under the seventh apostle in battle, and it was the only one left among the Stupas, on this planet, Valhalla’s power was heavily limited, Bierlus had confidence in neutralizing the starship’s uses, let alone the fact that the brain wasn’t here.

However, Su completely ignored its reminder.

At the top of Valhalla’s elegant ship body, Madeline stood facing the wind, her long hair fluttering about, her beautiful body forming a stark contrast with the giant sword in her hands, continuously clashing with the sight of others. She was also looking at Su, within the depths of her azure starry pupils, radiance was currently flickering about intensely, as if a hailstorm was hidden within.

They seemed to never have expected to meet like this.

Meanwhile, inside Valhalla, it wasn’t as serious as if a great battle was about to erupt, actually in a bit of chaos, even Rochester losing his cool.

“What did you say?! The inherited memories are incomplete? How could this be? What are the lost parts?”

Serendela and Fitzdurk had one question after another, bombarding Rochester to the point where he couldn’t hold on at all. He was also laughing bitterly, not understanding why so much of the inherited memories would be missing, especially the three most important parts: what was the lord, why did the apostles betray the lord, and why all information pertaining to the brain apostle completely went missing. In the inherited memories’ dangerous area, Rochester also discovered signs of someone recently entering, only, the energy traces left by the other party was too faint, and he couldn’t stay in the inherited space for too long either. In this extremely chaotic energy environment, staying for even millionth of a fraction of a second longer would result in Rochester’s consciousness possibly being destroyed. That was why he could only do his best to collect the memories dispersed within the space, only when he returned could he carefully examine the contents. The inherited memory space was extremely unstable, even though this time, they already ascertained its coordinates, it didn’t mean that the risk would be any lower next time. Less than 10% chance of survival wasn’t high even in the eyes of any lunatic. Meanwhile, only ultra life forms in absolute despair would gamble with a 50% chance, let alone 10%.

The most important memories were missing, and what was even more frightening was that someone had just entered the inheritance space. When Rochester revealed this, Fitzdurk and Serendela became momentarily speechless. The number of ultra life forms who could enter the inherited space, even if the entire universe was searched, was very few. This was a shattered space similar to the heart of a black hole, moreover linked with countless mysterious areas of space. If one wanted to enter and exit freely, what was needed was not only powerful energy, what was even more important was a level of energy. Only an ultra life form evolved close to the very peak had a chance of entering and leaving.

“Could it be the brain?” Serendela suddenly asked. Fitzdurk frowned, wishing to retort, but those words stopped at the edge of his lips, not spoken out. In theory, this was something completely impossible, the brain was only one of the five apostles, the energy level not higher than the other apostles. After gathering the power of three apostles, moreover using a small portion of Madeline’s strength did Rochester ultimately enter the inherited space. How could the brain do it all by itself?

“It is very likely!” Rochester unexpectedly agreed with Serendela’s viewpoint.

“However, how could the brain have such a large amount of energy?” Fitzdurk asked this question that lingered about the bottom of his heart.

Rochester laughed bitterly, saying, “What if it obtained the shell of the lord?”

“The lord’s shell?!” Serendela and Fitzdurk simultaneously cried out in alarm.

“Correct. The people of this world call it the perfect body.”

Right at this time, Valhalla trembled slightly, reminding the apostles in its own way that there was another great enemy outside the starship.

“We’ll deal with the destroyer first!” Rochester set his resolution. However, he hesitated, and then slowly said, “There is one more important matter! That is that from today forth, we won’t mention the lord again, let alone think about it, or search for its whereabouts or existence. We were the lords creation, so as long as we think about the lord, if we do it many times, the lord will be reborn through some type of method.”

The apostles’ panic and dispute lasted for quite some time. Forget about Su, even Bierlus could see that Valhalla’s reaction was sluggish, that it was a good chance for an attack, but Su didn’t show any intention of grasping this chance. It was precisely because it knew that Su’s computing and analysis abilities even exceeded the main brain that it was even more confused.

Even though, while staring at the beautiful young lady, had endless things to say to her, he didn’t ask anything. He would instead prefer this silent and deadlocked situation to last for eternity that to shatter the weak layer of secrets. Only, time always moved on. Valhalla trembled slightly, the gradually shining patterns reminding Su that a great battle was about to start.

“Turns out you were the apostles’ sword.” Su’s smile carried a trace of bitterness.
