Chapter 301: "Hand of Salvation"

Wu wu——

Wind and snow brushed past those two figures, one black one white. The world seemed to have stagnated.

"Lord of the Aurora, Yang Xiao." Tan Xin walked on the frost and snow street. Both eyes gazed at the white clothes opposite, his expression indifferent yet firm.

Lord of the Aurora quietly watched that black windbreaker walk over, lightly placing the swaddled baby in his embrace aside, patting the broken snow on his body. "I recognize that windbreaker. Back in the day when establishing the Aurora Base, it was the Enforcer attire I designed... Are you, the Commander-in-Chief of this generation?"

"Who I am, is not important."

Tan Xin's black windbreaker wildly danced in the wind. He took off the Black Box behind his back, pressing the button. A steel instrument like a birdcage yet also like an arm guard, was then jammed onto his right arm by him, threads and strands of electrical light flickering upon it.

He faintly spoke, "I was once Enforcer [Tan Xin], but for the continuation of human destiny, I can be anyone... including, the person who kills you."

Tan Xin's Aura climbed step by step. The terrifying Oppressive Aura of Rank 8 suddenly descended. The frost and snow all over the ground were all shaken open by his footsteps, like a formless circular ring spreading towards the surroundings...

"Reversed Faraday cage?" Seeing the device on Tan Xin's hand, astonishment emerged in Lord of the Aurora's eyes. "No... just the shape is similar, the principle is completely different. It even possesses the utility of correcting the magnetic field huh..."

"The conception and design are both not bad. In this era, there unexpectedly is still this kind of talent." Lord of the Aurora was somewhat regretful. "If there was a chance to meet once it would be great..."

"You've met before." Tan Xin calmly said, "His surname is Yi."

"So it was him..." Lord of the Aurora thought of that madly crazy scientist he saw when he just woke up.

"This device, did he give it a name?"

Tan Xin paused for a moment,

"'Hand of Salvation.'"

Lord of the Aurora blanked out for a bit. After a long time, he nodded with a complex expression, "...Good name."

"I don't think sacrificing these three million souls, can let you step into Beyond Ninth Rank... so, I chose to save the Aurora City." Tan Xin's eyes slightly narrowed. Him who always seemingly peaceful and elegant, at this moment actually released all the majesty and domineering aura of the Law Enforcer Deputy Director-General. "I know you are Rank 9. If it was the period of complete prime, I would definitely lose without a doubt. But now... I want to try."

"You are right." Lord of the Aurora took a glance at the fading aurora in the sky above,

"I can feel that threshold. The tenth flight of steps, cannot be piled up relying on the quantity of souls... Even if all the souls of the Nine Great Realms were completely accommodated, it is also almost impossible."

"So..."

"But this does not represent, I will cooperate with you."

Before waiting for Tan Xin to finish speaking, Lord of the Aurora then faintly spoke,

His figure took one step out, accompanied by fine electrical arcs instantly disappearing in place. Tan Xin's pupils didn't even have time to shrink, the corner of the white clothes had already brushed past his cheek... Lord of the Aurora inserted one hand in his pocket, brushing shoulders passing by his side.

His other hand, lightly patted Tan Xin's shoulder.

Dong——!!

Countless moving electric charges under the effect of the magnetic field in Lord of the Aurora's palm, instantly erupted out with terrifying kinetic energy. A pillar of light flashing with plasma beam current instantly erupted from inside the Aurora City. Rumbling accompanied by terrifying great earth tremors, swept across the entire city!

At this moment, all the Enforcers dispersed in various places of the city, complexions drastically changed, abruptly turning their heads looking towards this direction.

"This... this is..." Qiong Xuan muttered to himself.

Dust filling the sky flew about. Inside the great earth gullies covered in cracks, a black-clothed figure stood in an extremely wretched state within it.

Lord of the Aurora slowly withdrew the palm lifted in mid-air, taking a glance at Tan Xin, continuing along the street, walking forward:

"I still have my matters to do... if you want my soul, then rely on your capability to come take it."

Tan Xin stood in the ruins, breathing heavily. That Enforcer windbreaker was already torn to pieces... He originally thought towards a dying Lord of the Aurora, he himself might have the strength of one battle, but the other party only used one move, and narrowly heavily wounded him.

Tan Xin protecting the "Hand of Salvation" in his embrace, hoarsely spoke:

"What are you going to do?"

"Exit the city."

"Exit the city?" Tan Xin seemed to have thought of something. "You want to fight your way into the Forbidden Sea??"

Today's outside of Aurora City, had already thoroughly intersected with the Gray World. And the position on Earth corresponding to the Gray World of the Aurora Domain, was exactly the Domain of the Forbidden Sea... The Aurora City's low temperature today, was also caused by the sea breeze of the Forbidden Sea.

Lord of the Aurora wanting to exit the city, meant the moment stepping out of the city gate, he would then enter inside the Forbidden Sea. When the time comes it would inevitably trigger massive amounts of Calamities to encircle and attack!

"This era, although humanity's power is weak, but they are also not objects for anyone to trample on." Lord of the Aurora raised his head, taking a glance at the howling ocean waves and Curse Runes outside the city, his eyes slightly narrowing. "They want to eat down the Aurora City, I also have to let them pay the price..."

"But your current bodily condition..." Tan Xin's brows tightly locked.

"I have already died once soundlessly and silently inside the laboratory." Lord of the Aurora didn't turn his head continuing forward,

"This time... I want to die on the battlefield, and not inside the city."

Tan Xin blankly watched Lord of the Aurora's departing back figure. That suit of white clothes gradually disappeared at the end of the road. And further away, was exactly the city gate of the Aurora City... and the extremely icy cold Gray World Forbidden Sea.

At this moment, Lord of the Aurora's words just now, again echoed in his ears.

[I still have my matters to do... if you want my soul, then rely on your capability to come take it.]

Tan Xin looked at the "Hand of Salvation", silently standing in place... He already understood Lord of the Aurora's meaning.

He Lord of the Aurora could die, but shouldn't die in the city, even more shouldn't die in the hands of Tan Xin who was equally a human... If he wanted his soul, then wait until after he died in battle, relying on capability to go retrieve it back himself.

Tan Xin's fists unconsciously clenched tight, and helplessly loosened. Only until this time, did he truly experience the weight of the three characters "Lord of the Aurora"... He faced the direction Lord of the Aurora left, muttering to himself:

"Respectfully send off... Lord of the Aurora."

Seemingly having heard Tan Xin's voice, that white-clothed figure slightly turned his head, then continuing forward...

The souls of people who died tragically echoed by his ears. Thin aurora drifted towards the sky amidst the desolation. Lord of the Aurora walked on the edge of the city, ultimately stopping his footsteps before the huge city gate sealed in ice.

Outside the door, the cold wind howled, resembling thunder.
