Chapter 1220: Barian

Rumble...

With a crisp sound like shattering glass, pitch-black cracks began to penetrate from the clouds to the horizon.

The sky shattered, and cracks traversed the sky over Heartland like wounds. And this was by no means an isolated case; similar scenes appeared all over the world.

Countless news media competed to report, and the news of the shattering sky occupied almost all the front pages. At the same time, social media and forums were filled with various strange phenomena filmed by netizens on their mobile phones.

Following this were hurricanes and earthquakes, as if the entire earth had suddenly fallen into madness. Words like "end of the world" began to become ubiquitous, and the theory of the end of the world became popular, soon becoming the mainstream.

But this also seemed to be a matter of course. Probably any normal human being, seeing the scene before their eyes, seeing the scene where their familiar, unchanging daily life was torn apart, their remaining reason would tell them this answer.

In fact, the governments of various countries in this world probably discussed this, and perhaps even launched response plans. It's just that their presence in the entire ZEXAL story was basically low enough to be ignored, so they could probably be ignored.

Besides, facing such a situation, there was probably nothing they could do anyway.

As always, the only ones who could save the world were playing cards.

At this very moment, Fujiki You Xuan came to the seaside with Yuma and Kaito.

Dumon was also shocked by the strange changes occurring everywhere in the human world. He was one of the Barian Seven Emperors but knew nothing about such a plan.

And although Dumon had awakened his past life memories and held hatred for Don Thousand, he still couldn't trust humans, so he parted ways with the three of them, saying he was going back to the Barian World to find out the truth, and had left first.

I saw that the boundless sea surface was almost dyed blood-red, and blood-red pillars connected to the cracks in the sky from the end of the horizon. The blood-red light pillars connected with the reflections on the sea surface, as if connecting the sea and the sky into one.

"The air... feels so heavy." Yuma said. "Strange, just standing here, it feels like my body has become so heavy..."

"That's natural," Kaito said. "This place is one of the four places where the Barian energy radiated from the entire Heartland is strongest. Probably, these places are the centers of all the abnormal phenomena currently happening."

While speaking, I saw red light shooting into the sky from time to time around the city, flying across the sky over the city like meteors, sinking into the red light pillar in the center like tributaries merging into the ocean.

"Orbital 7?" Kaito looked at Orbital 7.

Orbital 7 hurriedly said: "It can't be wrong, Lord Kaito! These coordinates are the center of all the riots! As long as we can stop this light pillar, we can probably stop the abnormalities currently happening all over the world..."

But before he could finish, a strange sound of wild laughter came from mid-air.

"Hahaha, but as long as I am here, of course, I will never allow you to do that!"

Everyone turned their heads at the sound, only to see Mr. Heartland, dressed in colorful and bright clothes, standing in the air, leaning on his cane, standing in the air very anti-gravitationally, looking at everyone with a proud face.

"It's you!" Kaito said.

"Kaito," Mr. Heartland snorted. "I went through all the trouble to raise you to adulthood, and you actually forgot your gratitude and defected to the enemy?"

"Now I'll give you a chance, surrender quickly and join Lord Vector of Barian, and I might spare your life!"

"Gratitude?" Kaito said coldly. "If you didn't mention it, that would be it. Just thinking about that hellish past makes me sick. Instead, it's you, Mr. Heartland, betraying humanity and defecting to Barian, have you made preparations for repentance?"

"Ha! Shameless!" Mr. Heartland laughed loudly. "Now I possess the absolute supreme power bestowed by Lord Vector!"

"This time I will definitely not live up to Lord Vector's kindness. Come on, my strongest warriors!"

While speaking, three light orbs flashed out from behind him and suddenly fell to the ground. The scattered light particles actually formed human shapes, turning into human forms wearing black robes.

"I really didn't expect that we, who were once called the 'Dark Duel Four' together with Mr. Heartland, could reunite in such a way..." One of the burly men sneered. The second person also laughed: "Yes, it's all thanks to Lord Vector. Now we have transformed and obtained supreme power!"

The third person said: "We are precisely the three warriors carefully selected by Lord Vector to guard the 'Fusion Pillar'!"

Yuma: "Fusion Pillar?"

"Exactly," Mr. Heartland sneered. "At this very moment, the human and Barian worlds are merging. The light pillars descending all over the world are precisely the power to transform the environment of the human world into the Barian World!"

Yuma: "What did you say? You want to merge the human and Barian worlds?"

"Exactly. The one million Numbers made by Lord Vector have already been thrown into all parts of the world as raw materials at this time," Mr. Heartland said. "Those who have darkness in their hearts, who crave power and change, will naturally be attracted to these Numbers."

"The Numbers will draw out their dark sides until they are swallowed by the power of the Numbers. Then, from their bodies to their spirits, they will all turn into bait for the world's fusion!"

Hearing this, Yuma's heart trembled violently, and he looked up again at the meteors that would fly past from all directions of the city and be absorbed by the light pillar, and couldn't help but feel his hair stand on end.

Could every one of these flying past be a living person!?

"Not bad, humans who couldn't withstand the power of the Numbers and were swallowed by their own inner darkness and desires are the best bait for world fusion!"

Mr. Heartland laughed loudly.

"You guy!" Yuma was angry. "I won't let you get your way!"

"Hey, shameless, then you have to defeat the guardians of the light pillar first," Mr. Heartland sneered. "These three guardian warriors are each bound to a fusion light pillar."

"You defeat one of them, and you can lift the fusion of one light pillar."

"Only when you defeat all three of them can you reach the last and core light pillar, which is where I am! Defeat me, and you can completely terminate the fusion process of the two dimensions."

Mr. Heartland paused and narrowed his eyes.

"Well... of course, this is impossible."

He was originally the head of this underground dueling four-man group, and his strength was the most outstanding. Now that he had been favored by the Barians and obtained the power of the Numbers, he considered himself to be able to sweep the world in the human world. Even someone as strong as Tenjo Kaito was not in his eyes now.

"Damn, there's no time to waste, we must defeat them as soon as possible," Yuma turned his head and said. "Fujiki You Xuan, lend us a hand again."

Fujiki You Xuan had no objection and just shrugged: "Fine."

However, although he agreed to take action, he had his own considerations. If it was convenient to stop the destruction of the human world here, it wouldn't be bad, but in fact, he was not very interested in these four pawns in front of him.

Fujiki You Xuan looked up at the light pillar in the center, especially the top of the light pillar, leading to the unknown place in the cracks in the sky.

On the other side, that should be the Barian World, right?

Just right.

Fujiki You Xuan's mouth raised slightly, he took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Since we are here, let's not play this kind of low-level hide-and-seek game."

"What do you say, Barian?" ===== CHAPTER 1221 =====
