Chapter 528 Pollution and Decontamination
Chapter 528 – Pollution and Decontamination
Frankly speaking, Lucrecia’s mind was blank for the moment – blank for almost two or three seconds before she slightly regained her ability to think and realized what exactly was going on in front of her.
What was even more terrifying than being plunged into a nightmare infested with the contamination of the sun’s children was suddenly seeing her father, who had returned from subspace, in the depths of this nightmare, and what was even more terrifying than that was the fact that the scythe in her own hand was slashing at her father’s neck.
Now, this scythe has lost control, the ghost of green fire in its black blade and handle burn, it is like entering another dimension like can no longer be mastered by oneself, Lucrecia stiff and futile to maintain the position of holding the scythe, hold half a day to come up with a sentence: “You ……you The scythe in your hand is so chic ……”
“Do you go over your head like that every time you get nervous?” Duncan finally let go, the ghostly green flames dissipating with him, “What’s going on here?”
Along with the fading of the flames, Lucrecia finally felt the scythe, which had been coalesced by the power of dreams and curses, return to her grasp once more, and she scrambled to grab hold of it as she took half a step back and prepared to answer her father’s question, yet in the very next moment, a sense of crisis struck her violently from close by!
The Inferior Bodies of the Sun’s children had finally reacted, and it was clear that they wouldn’t give their enemies a chance to chat in peace, as several shadows swooped down behind Lucrecia, accompanied by flashes of light and shadows jumping in the sunlight!
Almost without a chance to think, Lucrecia had already turned around sharply, and her scythe immediately turned into a long whip wrapped with thorns, however, just when she was about to throw the whip out fiercely, the several shadows that lunged at her suddenly stopped in mid-air and appeared, and as if they had lost their source of strength, they all fell to the ground and struggled violently!
At the same time, Heidi, who was controlling several personalities that were barely holding on, also abruptly felt the pressure around her lighten.
She shifted her “self” from one of her dying personalities to another one that was still in good condition, and then watched in shock as those black-clothed figures around her collapsed one by one, as if they were fish being baked by the scorching sun, struggling for their lives on the ground.
The depths of their black coats of unknown material continued to bulge and wriggle, and those ghastly limbs began to rot and decompose rapidly, accompanied by sickening noises, and a horrible stench and filthy pus and blood gradually spread out from under their bodies.
Even as a professionally trained psychiatrist, Heidi couldn’t help but take two steps back when faced with this scene, and immediately afterward, as if she sensed something, she subconsciously raised her head and wanted to look at the sky – but the moment she raised her head, she hardened her control over her impulse.
The horrible experience of witnessing the “heir of the sun” when she looked up earlier was still deeply imprinted in her mind, making her not dare to verify her own suspicions.
Just then, she heard the stranger in front of Lucrecia say to herself, “It’s okay, the sky is safe.”
For some reason, it was as if the words carried some kind of powerful force, and despite having no reason to do so, a strong impression instantly surfaced in Heidi’s mind that the sky was safe.
She slowly raised her head and looked toward the “sun” that was hanging high in the sky, glowing with heat.
That “thing” is still floating quietly above the forest, countless twisted and entangled tentacles and pale eyes like a haphazard growth of meatballs piled up, the light is like a flame, in the surface of this monstrous and horrible “meatballs” rise and burn! –However, in the depths of the flames of light, a touch of ghostly green was spreading, and quickly covered the entire surface of the entity.
The moment she saw those twisted tentacles and pale eyes, a touch of fear appeared in the bottom of Heidi’s heart, but soon she realized that her mind had not been eroded by this “sighting”.
The contamination of the “children of the sun” seemed to be blocked by the spreading green fire, or …… was eroded and assimilated by the latter, and thus harmless.
The dying struggles and hisses of the “inferior beings” tortured Lucrecia’s eardrums, and the black-clad inhuman creatures were dying rapidly under the alienating sunlight, as if dissolving in a strong acid, and she watched the scene in bewilderment, looking at Duncan with a confused expression: “What’s going on here? ”
“I contaminated their temporary sun, which is now ‘toxic’ to them.
“It’s a lesson I learned during the ‘Black Sun Incident’ in Prand – these ‘remnants’ can only be exposed to certain kinds of ‘sunlight’ to survive.”
Duncan spoke with a calm expression, then raised his head and gazed at the twisted being that still floated silently over the forest.
He was reminded of the “black sun” that he had seen through the “golden mask”, and thought of the pale ancient god dying under the corona, but compared to the “black sun” that he had seen, the “black sun” that he was seeing at the moment was a much more beautiful one than the “black sun” that he was seeing. However, compared to the “black sun” he saw at the beginning, the thing hanging high above this dream world is obviously more than one size smaller, and its power is also much weaker.
Then …… it seems that this is those crazy religious mouth “sun heir”.
Now, this sun heir is rapidly being devoured by the polluting flames, the light and heat it emits is being transformed into something that is enough to incinerate itself, however, this strange and horrible “creature” does not have the slightest reaction of pain, it is still just quietly and silently hanging high in the sky, as if it does not have any emotion of pain and fear.
Simply glow and heat, like …… a real sun.
However, Duncan gazed at its pale eyes, but always felt that this thing actually has a mind – it is thinking, it is observing, it has a purpose, but also has a reason, it is not like that dying black sun only want to extinguish themselves, nor is it like those crazy cultists only think of destroying the whole world.
What is this “creature”…… thinking at this moment?
“What are you thinking?” Duncan couldn’t help but ask in his mind. “Can I go back?” In the depths of the fuzzy message coming back from the Ghost Blaze, he heard a voice that sounded calm and gentle, “There’s nothing I’m looking for here.”
Duncan’s eyes widened slightly in an instant.
However, in the next instant, just as he wanted to establish more communication with this “Sun Heir”, an illusory boom suddenly came from the sky, and immediately after that, the burning flame suddenly shrunk into a small point as if it was collapsing inward, and in the next moment, the ghostly flame that had lost its target scattered in all directions.
The next moment, the phantom flames lost their target and scattered. The “false sun” overlooking the forest disappeared.
A dim and slightly reddish light replaced the “sunny” sky of the previous moment, and the whole forest was plunged into a dusk-like atmosphere.
Lucrecia’s surprised voice came from the side: “You destroyed it?”
“No,” Duncan shook his head gently, speaking of the information he had sensed moments before, “It left, it was not its body, but merely a projection of a Sunchild formed in a dream, like a tentacle for perception- -and now it has withdrawn that tentacle from the dreamscape.”
Lucrecia nodded her head thoughtfully, but soon she suddenly realized something else: “Wait, where’s that Annihilationist from earlier?!”
“He ran away,” Duncan said casually, “He was lowering his presence as those ‘inferior beings’ died, and then he took advantage of the chaos to escape when that false sun in the sky collapsed and receded. ”
Lucrecia heard but immediately frowned, subconsciously looking around the forest that had already fallen into the dusk-like darkness of the sky, “Damn it …… I’m surprised that I’ve been diverted as well …… I should’ve left him with a curse on his body ……”
“It’s okay,” Duncan but simply waved his hand, “Let him run for a while first.”
Lucrecia was slightly stunned at his words and looked up at Duncan, “You …… let him go on purpose?”
Duncan did not answer her directly, but squinted his eyes slightly as if sensing something, then smiled and shook his head, “He has seen me anyway.”
He then paid no attention to Lucrecia’s momentarily changed expression, but turned to look at Heidi, who was standing jitterily a dozen meters away and had been trying to lower her presence.
He came in front of the psychiatrist lady – technically, in front of a large group of Heidi – and then first confirmed the other’s status.
There were about seven or eight Heidi with injuries of various sizes hanging on their bodies, three of them were in extremely serious condition and were flopping on the ground like dying fish, the personality part of them had obviously withdrawn, only some dying convulsions based on conditioned reflexes were left, and there were two other Heidi who seemed to be in good condition, one of them stood with a dull expression, and the other one was nervously avoiding Duncan’s gaze.
Duncan expressionless swept through this “a large group of Heidi” in front of him, and sighed in his heart that this world’s psychiatrists are really wild, schizophrenic even more schizophrenic than schizophrenia, and then he straightly crossed the face of the tense, avoiding the gaze of the “Heidi”, and came to the one who was looking at her with a tense expression. Then he went straight past the “Heidi” with a nervous face and averted gaze, and came to the psychiatrist who had a stupefied expression.
“Is everything alright?”
The stupefied “persona” was immediately startled, and a vivid expression suddenly appeared on her face, “How did you know ……?”
Of course, she had already guessed who this tall and majestic person in front of her was, who brought endless pressure, and her heart had already been tense, and she had originally thought to use her persona to cover up a little bit, to avoid communicating with this terrifying “Subspace Shadow” head-on, but she didn’t expect to be able to hide it even for a second.
“You will protect yourself with a personality doppelganger when you are nervous,” Duncan said with a smile and a friendly attitude, “Of course, I didn’t think that your ‘personality doppelganger’ would be so …… powerful, and now I’m impressed.”
“Sometimes …… schizophrenics can be more difficult to deal with, and you can’t beat them with fewer points …… ” Heidi subconsciously explained, but immediately afterward reacted with. “Wait, where do you know …… from?”
Duncan smiled and raised his hand to the amethyst pendant on Heidi’s chest.
“Technically, I gave you this pendant.”
