Chapter 300: 7 Dinosaur Core Coins
Huo Ye Yingsi and four others looked firmly at the huge cyan protective shield encircling the entire area, immediately preparing to transform.
Three Core Coins and Cell Coins were respectively placed into the belt.
"Mr. Daming, use your ultimate move."
Huo Ye Yingsi turned to look at Daming and asked.
They had to stop the world-destroying device before the third ground panel flipped over.
The sky was already covered with dark clouds, a strange aura had spread throughout the sky, a black rift slowly opened in the sky, and the birds originally flying in the sky scattered toward that bright direction.
Animals can sense danger in advance and take preventive measures; humans actually have this ability as well.
But the people now in the square were blinded by greed for money, ignoring the darkening sky and continuing to pursue their desires.
"Alright, give it your all!" Daming clapped his hands, saying, "Although we'll surely lose money this time, Xiao Goto, throw all the Cell Coins into the belt."
"Yes, Mr. Daming." Goto put down the coin storage canister and directly grabbed a handful of Cell Coins, stuffing them all into the Birth belt.
In an instant, countless metal mechanical parts sprang from the energy core at Birth's chest, covering the right hand, left hand, chest, and legs with various equipment all over Birth's body.
Birth·Day (Full Armed Form) appears.
Hundreds of Cell Coins were completely converted into energy; a crimson glow quickly built up at the cannon's muzzle, the concrete floor began to emit continuous cracking sounds, and the huge recoil, as energy gathered, had already pushed the reinforced-legged Birth backward.
Huo Ye Yingsi swept the scanning ring on his waist across the Ouz Driver, and the three differently colored coins instantly leapt up.
"ScanningCharge (Scan Charge)"
Huo Ye Yingsi's legs emitted a green light, his legs suddenly elongated like a grasshopper's, and the three kinds of energy waves converged together.
In an instant his body leapt into the sky; under the three-colored halo, a pair of crimson energy wings burst from his back and he kicked straight toward the shield.
"TaToBaKick"
At this moment, Daming quickly triggered the cannon that had surpassed its energy limit, and a wave of light that destroys everything burst forth from his chest.
"BreastCannonShoot!"
Two streams of light flickered in midair and finally struck the defensive shield like meteors falling.
"Boom—"
A massive energy impact erupted on the shield's surface, a piercing roar rang out, instantly echoing through the clouds.
"Crack!"
The protective shield built with Alchemical Art lasted only one second; its emerald-green surface was already covered with cracks.
Thereafter, that fragile defense was completely shattered by the explosion from the two Knights' ultimate moves, and the resulting shock even made the White Tower where Kara was located shake.
"Pretty capable." After dealing with the tyrannosaur and pterosaur, someone flying swiftly toward the White Tower in Jiang Xia from afar saw the shield destroyed and exclaimed in admiration.
"Hmph! Weak Ouz, I'll let you be destroyed now. Just a little more, and I'll obtain great power."
Kara glanced at Ouz and Birth, who had broken through the shield, and snorted coldly.
He waved a single hand, and several Alchemical Formations lit up all around the White Tower; countless Cell Coins kept gathering in the air, and the collision sounds made Anku, who followed Huo Ye Yingsi nearby, turn pale.
"Yingsi! Be careful, something's not right here."
As the coins coalesced into shape, the neat, uniform footsteps rang out again in the forest, causing the surrounding birds and beasts to flee in fear in all directions.
Immediately, the noisy warriors wielding long swords were leveling the entire forest, and with the sound of trees falling, they also appeared before the few people.
"Kill Ouz! Kill Ouz!" the Nue Desire Monster shouted, the beast skull on its right hand opening its mouth.
Behind it, a solid army of warriors stretched out, numbering in the thousands, densely packed; all around were Coin Soldier Monsters made of coins, now completely surrounding them.
As long as one possesses Alchemical Art, Yummy-like things can be endlessly produced; its predecessor was an existence instantly killed by a tyrannosaur's tail, but that was only because the dinosaur alliance was too strong.
"With this many monsters, it's really a bit hard to handle, right, Xiao Goto?"
Daming wasn't afraid; he had originally been a battlefield medic, accustomed to days of war, and while becoming Birth to fight, besides earning money, he also wanted people to avoid injury and, in the limited time, at least help more people.
"Mr. Daming, I'll do my utmost to stop them." Goto tightened his grip on the gun handle, his eyes showing no fear.
"No, when I tell you to run, you must run immediately, without the slightest hesitation."
"Mr. Daming?"
"Sorry, sorry, I got used to it on the battlefield."
Daming waved his hand, repeatedly apologizing to Goto, though his expression beneath the mask turned somewhat stern.
"Yingsi, is your stamina still enough?"
Anku looked at the army charging toward them, and the claw-like right hand suddenly ignited a flame.
"Hmm, that should be enough to deal with them."
Huo Ye Yingsi took out the coins at his waist and inserted the Cell Coins one by one into the gaps in the Holy Emblem Slash Sword's blade.
Now he had enough power; his hand could reach anywhere.
He could extend a helping hand to anyone in need, and he would not allow any tragedy to happen before his eyes.
"He really is an idiot." A smile crossed Anku's face, "But that's exactly why I chose you, because you're an idiot."
The flame in Anku's hand suddenly contracted, the Cell Coins inside his body flowed rapidly, and crimson wings unfolded on his back.
The blazing red light completely covered his human form, replacing it with a body covered in scarlet feathers, like a form made of red-hot metal.
"Anku..." Huo Ye Yingsi gazed vacantly at the Bird-type Greed standing beside him and murmured.
It seemed he was seeing Anku transform into his true form, a full-bodied Bird-type Greed, for the first time.
The flame on Anku's right hand instantly condensed into a ball; he swung it, and the fireball exploded in the distance, the scorching shock instantly swallowing the several warriors ahead.
But more soldiers broke through the scorching storm and charged toward them.
Huo Ye Yingsi strode forward, swinging that whitish space slash, cutting the soldiers into Cell Coins.
Flames and explosion sounds continually rose in the warriors' surge, the surrounding space was repeatedly torn apart and then reassembled.
Crimson flames burst forth from Anku's body, and the suddenly intensified storm sucked up vast numbers of warriors into the air.
The bodies composed of Cell Coins were completely worn away in the Flame Color Dragon Whirlwind; their bodies were crimson and shiny, and the armor on them resembled burning coals.
Tens of thousands of cell coins were swept up by the red storm, falling behind Yi Da Ming.
They have too many enemies to deal with, and cell coins are an indispensable energy reserve for everyone,
The Holy Emblem Slash Sword, the Birth System, Greed's body, and even the coin gun used by Goto are all extremely dependent on cell coins.
This is the resolve to stake one's life, to completely slay all monsters that threaten humanity's freedom.
As the battle continued, the surroundings had turned into a wasteland, yet they persisted, with just four of them able to face tens of thousands of enemies.
Moreover, the brilliance of different core coin combinations also shines among the monster horde, and Anku can always sense when it's time to switch to a suitable coin.
If this were a battle mustered by humanity, perhaps even four people wouldn't be needed—just Huo Ye Yingsi and Anku alone could wipe out the enemy.
Because the timing and movements of their cooperation are so perfect, they have truly reached the state of being as one.
If their enemies had self-awareness, they would be plunged into extreme fear by such perfect coordination,
causing their minds to collapse under this flawless, overwhelming combat power, or even sparking a mutiny. However, the dolls made of alchemical art are merely tools, lacking any concept of death; they unswervingly lunge at the already crimson blade, and even if shattered by flames and impact, they still surge toward them like waves.
In the battlefield where flames continually burn, Huo Ye Yingsi watches as explosions constantly erupt and smoke shoots up into the sky around him,
the memory originally buried deep in his mind also keeps awakening, as if he once again sees that little girl whose whole body was affected by the war, yet who still smiled at him.
At that time he was so desperate for power, wanting to grasp those hands, but he failed then.
He could only watch helplessly as she was swallowed by the flames of war.
But now, looking at Mr. Goto, who is constantly fighting and covered in wounds, and Mr. Yi Da Ming, who is armored and striking the enemies,
and also Mr. Jiang Xia, who has always helped them, believed in him, and alone went to block the dinosaurs to protect humanity.
And there's Anku, who has fulfilled his wish, allowing me to help others; I can now hold her hand.
Huo Ye Yingsi swings his sword again, but the enemies before him are no longer his match.
And after realizing this, three core coins inside Huo Ye Yingsi's body burst forth, emitting an electric arc.
Subsequently, three purple dinosaur coins shot out violently from within his body.
The powerful purple shockwave instantly sent the surrounding warriors flying several meters.
Seeing this, Anku quickly spread her wings, flew to Huo Ye Yingsi's side, and shouted:
"Yingsi! Hold on, don't let yourself be controlled!"
If Huo Ye Yingsi were to go berserk in this situation, he might fall into endless slaughter; once in an instinctive state, he would launch indiscriminate attacks on everything around him,
but the world has now plunged into a countdown to its end, with a very high probability of destruction.
He absolutely refuses to accept such an ending.
Just as Anku thought she would have to face the berserk Yingsi, Huo Ye Yingsi grabbed those three dinosaur core coins and simply held them in his hand, as if they were ordinary core coins.
"It's okay, Anku; I think I've finally understood what my desire is."
Huo Ye Yingsi raised his head, "Thank you, Anku; you helped me find what I've long been yearning for."
"You…"
Anku looked at Huo Ye Yingsi gripping the purple core coin, and nodded.
At that moment, a dazzling purple light shot out from the horizon, accompanied by a purple dragon's roar and an aura capable of destroying everything, descending upon the sky.
The surroundings, like a tide, saw the monsters suddenly fall silent, their offensive greatly diminished.
Huo Ye Yingsi lifted his head; his red hawk-eyes let him clearly see the figure wrapped in that purple light—it was Jiang Xia, who had rushed over and was now speeding through the sky.
He made a decision; after finally realizing his desire, Huo Ye Yingsi could sense that these three coins contained immense power.
If we want to stop the world's end, this power might be indispensable.
The three dinosaur core coins trembled instantly, bursting forth a purple halo that together formed a purple energy dragon, which shot toward the Jiang Xia soaring in the sky.
The two purple halos instantly merged, and a powerful extreme cold erupted in the sky.
The fierce cold air surged downward, moisture in the air instantly condensed, and like a tide, the monsters' bodies were instantly covered in frost.
In an instant, snowflakes fell from the sky, and frost swept across this forest.
That is the domain of extreme cold; besides the four people inside the domain, all other moving monsters were instantly frozen in place.
"Congratulations, you've reclaimed your desire, Huo Ye."
Jiang Xia landed on the ice and looked at the seven dinosaur core coins inside his body.
Three of them were originally inside Huo Ye Yingsi's body, and the moment he reclaimed his desire, he expelled them—this is very good news.
"Hmm, my desire is really simple." Huo Ye Yingsi smiled.
Jiang Xia nodded, his body leapt into the air again, and headed straight for Kara inside the White Tower.
This battle, sparked by Kara, should now be over.
Hongshang Group Headquarters, top floor, office.
"The end of the world? As expected of a genius alchemist."
Hongshang Guangsheng gazed at the power gathering in the sky, stood before the transparent window, and lightly opened a bottle of red wine.
The crimson, blood-like wine flowed into the transparent cup; he took a gentle sip, his eyes no longer showing the former excitement and worship of desire, only calm and the enjoyment of the wine's flavor.
"Desire will ultimately save the world; that will never change."
Hongshang Guangsheng's purple light pillar piercing the horizon slowly spoke.
"It looks like the world's end is coming soon; what a wonderful sight."
Zhenmu Qingren, whose eyes had turned purple, stood in the distance; purplish-red specks of light slowly flowed across his body, then suddenly ignited.
The core coin within him that emits purple electricity also kept trembling, and the purple in Zhenmu Qingren's eyes grew even more intense.
At this moment, his body began to twist, the shadows at the wall's edge began to protrude, and his gaunt frame, bathed in the light, became even more ferocious.
Zhenmu Qingren spread his hands; his claws like purple crystal, and his wings like a pterodactyl, bloody, unfurled from his back.
He transformed into a monster covered in scale armor, with a ferocious dinosaur head, and in the flames his pupils glowed purplish-red.
"Doctor, what exactly happened to the core coin inside your body, and why did it happen so quickly?"
Kazhali looked with horror at the already completely Greed-ified Zhenmu Qingren, and a sudden fear rose unnaturally in his heart.
Someone who just put the Core Coin into his body not long ago; even turning humans into Greed couldn't happen this fast.
"Kazhali, my desire has grown again; reducing the world to nothing is also one of their missions."
Dinosaur Greed turned its head toward Kazhali; he can now easily shatter all Core Coins.
At the same time, his five senses have completely disappeared; he can only perceive this world through chaotic perception.
Kazhali no longer has any thought to worry about the world's end; it trembles in the gaze of Dinosaur Greed, and he feels a tremendous fear that could let him completely disappear.
"Don't worry, let's together admire this beautiful moment of the world's end." Zhenmu Qingren returned to human form, his expression solemn.
At this moment, the crowd gathered in the park finally noticed the abnormality in the sky.
The dark clouds swirled like a vortex, scorching light darting wildly within them, and flames seemed to be burning within the cloud layers.
Under extreme pressure and the fear of death, the frenzied crowd finally came to their senses.
"The apocalypse is here!" shouted the programmer in the crowd who had grown hair, pointing at the sky; now having grown hair is of no use.
"What apocalypse? It's just a special astronomical phenomenon; at a glance it's clearly caused by a solar storm, causing sunlight to constantly reflect in the cloud layers, forming this light."
A similarly balding middle-aged man pushed up his black-rimmed glasses and answered firmly.
"Then why are you running?!"
The programmer clutched the bills he had exchanged for in his hand, sprinting with all his might, and loudly shouted at the balding middle-aged man who was running faster than him.
"Nonsense! Even if it's an astronomical phenomenon, people will die. Who would stay there for a little money? I came for the hair too, but I didn't expect there to be not enough time."
