Chapter 442 212: Breaking the Cocoon
“This moonlight makes people feel uncomfortable.”
Above the semi-circular moon cocoon that envelopes the entire Iki Island and the surrounding sea area.
Ye Jie himself emitted a faint fluorescent light, which seemed out of tune with the moonlight emitted by the moon cocoon.
The two are as incompatible as water and oil.
Overall, Ye Jie seems to have a different style from everyone else.
Noguchi nodded slightly; he had a similar feeling.
This feeling gradually becomes stronger as the moon cocoon takes shape.
Mr. Li reached down and made a lifting gesture.
I saw sea water gathering on the sea surface and ice crystals condensing, slowly forming a huge frost hand. However, even though it was more than ten meters high, it still looked small and ordinary in front of this huge moon cocoon.
The giant frost hand slapped hard on the bumpy surface of the moon cocoon.
Unfortunately, this blow, which seemed to be so powerful that it could collapse a building, did not produce any sound feedback from the Moon Cocoon.
They could only see the moon dust on the moon cocoon rising and then dispersing, while the rock-like shell underneath was not damaged at all.
Mr. Li sighed and withdrew his hand.
Click click click.
A fine cracking sound suddenly came from the giant wrist, and the inside of the ice crystal was covered with spider-web-like patterns at some point.
The moment the sea breeze passed over the giant hand, the entire ice sculpture collapsed. The falling ice ridges shattered into sharp diamond dust in mid-air, and the more complete knuckle fragments hit the sea and exploded a second time when they touched the water.
“It’s not just a simple reflection attack, the reflected attack will automatically attack the weak point.”
Mr. Li’s words made Ye Jie think deeply.
She raised her hand, gathered the light into a longbow, drew the bowstring, and an arrow of light gradually became brighter.
The arrow of light was shot out silently, heading straight for the moon cocoon and directly sank into it.
The moon cocoon vibrated very slightly, and then there was no subsequent reaction, and it did not reflect the light arrow.
“The holy light cannot be reflected, and it also has an effect…but…” Ye Jie did not continue speaking, because the effect of the holy light was minimal.
As soon as Ye Jie finished speaking, the silver-white light that had been flowing on the surface of the moon cocoon began to change color and was tinged with a hint of red.
Immediately afterwards, the moonquake inexplicably intensified, and the entire moon cocoon began to shrink like never before.
It began to beat like a heart.
A layer of slippery mucus was secreted on it, and the smooth lunar sea seemed to become gradually transparent, like a membrane covered with blood-red filaments.
The original crater was wriggling and twisting, and suddenly it turned into an uneven mountain range of flesh and blood.
The sea was surging like a boiling raging fire. The semicircular moon cocoon was rising gradually at an extremely slow speed amidst the rumbling vibrations, as if it was really going to hang in the sky like the moon.
If this trend continues, what will rise up will probably be a meatball made of flesh and blood.
“Heaven.”
Noguchi reminded them, and they looked up, only to see that one of the full moons in the sky began to emit a dark red light, as if to match the moon cocoon.
There was a certain linkage effect between the two. The dark red light was enhanced, and the sky, which originally belonged to the night, was sinking into a hazy blood color.
At this time, Japan was like a dark room with red lights on.
I just don’t know whose posthumous photos the ones developed from here will be.
Those green-skinned monsters that fell to the ground seemed to have received some kind of buff. They roared towards the sky, their eyes and skin turned red, and even their limbs grew larger as if exploding.
“careful!”
In a special affairs team, several greenskins who had been suppressed by them suddenly swelled up, their muscles became huge, their skin turned red, and they roared and sprinted forward, tearing one of the extraordinary people who was unable to react in time into two pieces.
At the moon cocoon, Noguchi and his companions dispersed and tried to destroy the moon cocoon with their own methods, but they could not cause the transformation to stagnate.
Finally, the moon cocoon, which originally looked normal even though it was strange, turned into an extremely huge, wriggling amniotic membrane floating in the air.
The potholes are uneven flesh walls, which shrink in a certain pattern as a whole. When ordinary people look at them, they will immediately feel a sharp pain in their heads.
Even if one is extraordinary, one can only suppress this discomfort.
Ye Jie took out the broken angel’s arm that she had borrowed from Brand. Although she no longer had holy water to stimulate the energy in it, the broken angel’s arm itself was a very good weapon that any paladin could use as a special weapon.
“I suggest you save some effort.”
A voice floated into everyone’s ears.
Some people were surprised to find out who the voice belonged to, while others were very calm, as if they had known for a long time that there were other people nearby.
“Before you break out of your cocoon, all of your attacks are equivalent to attacking the Mother Goddess, the Moon.”
“Do you think, with your current strength, you can tear the moon apart?”
A black-robed man in the image of a white mist ghost appeared and wisely kept a seemingly safe distance from the few people.
“How much do you know, Augustus?”
Noguchi had already guessed his identity, and considering Augustus’ previous behavior of leaking information to the Special Affairs Bureau, he had the same interests as them.
At least that was the case until Moon Cocoon was destroyed.
Mr. Li stared at the somewhat strange ghost in silence. He still remembered that it was the appearance of Augustus when he was at the node in heaven.
He glanced at Ye Jie, who shook his head slightly.
Augustus looked up at the moon cocoon that was beating faster and faster, and said in an inexplicable tone: “I know everything I should know, and I probably don’t know what I shouldn’t know.”
Hasam shook his head: “What kind of nonsense is this? Do you know how to deal with it?”
“Wait.”
Augustus spoke unexpectedly directly.
“Wait for Him to break out of His cocoon, wait for Him to descend from the sky.”
“What about the period in between?” Noguchi realized that Augustus’ “He” should refer to two different beings.
“Fight.” Augustus smiled, “I have already arranged the formation. As long as I am not dead, this battle will not affect Japan. Director Noguchi, are you satisfied?”
Noguchi didn’t answer, just looked up.
He is about to break out of his cocoon.
When the squirming blood-colored amniotic membrane reached its limit of contraction, a winding crack suddenly tore open on the surface of the moon cocoon, and sticky liquid moonlight gushed out along with bloody blood plasma.
The cracks in the flesh spread rapidly, and the moon cocoon seemed to be twitching wildly, with wave peaks appearing on the surface, until – it exploded with a loud bang!
The angel with a broken arm behind Ye Jie stretched out his hand in time, and a halo barrier blocked all the shock waves and pollutants.
Augustus stood there indifferently, even taking out a few bottles and cans to collect the splashed materials, but the shock waves had no effect on him. The aperture was withdrawn, and they saw a tall humanoid creature with white hair that was slightly different from Ye Jie and unclear gender characteristics lying in the air, as if there was a piece of ground in the air that they could not see.
His body was shrouded in a hazy moon halo, and a pair of translucent wings made of pure silver light slowly spread out from behind him, with ripples like the aurora flowing between the wing membranes.
And on His body, there are inconspicuous, long silver-white threads extending towards the sky. The end of the threads may be at the moon.
“.Heh. Sadly, you are creatures infected by evil spirits. You are not human beings, but just a collection of evils that borrowed the name of human beings.”
He slowly stretched out his huge wings to the extreme, and when put together, they actually looked like a full moon.
“You have only once the right to kneel before me, the Son of the Mother Goddess and the Mother Goddess.”
He opened his eyes, which were white, and spoke in a condescending tone.
Augustus was a little disappointed: “How come you don’t have any divinity at all.”
“.I am God! How can a mere lowly creature understand the power of God? If so, let’s just destroy it all! Restore Gaia’s glory!”
Augustus’s light words seemed to have hit the other party’s sore spot, and he directly and proactively launched an attack on them.
In an instant, countless threads of moonlight entangled towards them.
“Then please, God, go to the human court!” Noguchi entered the judge state, broke the entangled silk threads with a hammer, and instead of retreating, he advanced and swung the giant hammer at the puppet that called itself God.
Hasamu was behind Carlos, dodging the silk threads and looking for opportunities.
The broken arm of the angel floating behind Ye Jie automatically eliminated the attached gazes, drew the bow and began to accumulate the power of holy light.
There were unusual ice blades spinning around Mr. Li, which could even freeze the moonlight. The speed of the silk threads trying to approach would become increasingly slow.
Augustus had the most threads around him, but he looked absent-minded. He casually avoided the threads and even took the time to observe the performance of everyone.
“Judging gods from human perspective is a joke of cosmic proportions. Don’t worry, I will keep this joke in my collection and let real humans understand how ridiculous you are.”
He caught Noguchi’s hammer with ease, and it looked extremely effortless. The fighting power between the two was completely on a different level.
“is it?”
Noguchi grinned, revealing his not-so-white teeth.
The whole person’s state changed instantly, and the hammer in his hand seemed to have an ochre halo.
His expression suddenly changed, and he actually felt a faint oppressive aura from a similar person.
“You are–“
Bang!
Noguchi suddenly exerted force, interrupting him from speaking and punching him towards Ye Jie.
Ye Jie finished accumulating strength, and a beam of light instantly penetrated him who was flying towards him.
The sea trembled, and a huge glacier monster suddenly jumped out from the sea level and swallowed him in one gulp. Then, before he fell to the ground, the sea surface had already frozen simultaneously, and continued to climb upwards to catch him in mid-air.
“It’s now!”
Hasamu tore a crack in space and time through the mouth that had not yet completely closed.
A hearty dragon roar came from the interior of the glacier monster, followed by violent shaking and roaring.
Several people did not think that this set of combos could defeat the opponent. They all looked on alert, watching the giant iceberg that was shaking continuously.
After a while, Hasamu was the first to emerge from the passage reserved by Mr. Li in a panic.
“That thing has a second stage!”
Before he could finish his words, the iceberg collapsed with a loud bang, and ice cubes flew everywhere.
However, there was no white dragon in the center.
But the Son of the Mother Goddess had lost his original white appearance that was somewhat related to holiness. There were many wounds on his body, but what was flowing out was not blood, but a liquid moonlight.
“Even so, you can’t kill me. The Mother Goddess will return to being the God of Gaia, and I will be the new Moon Goddess.”
“At this moment, the moon is behind me!!”
The thread connecting him and the moon quickly turned from silver to dark red, like blood vessels stretching for thousands of miles.
His wounds quickly turned blood red, the liquid moonlight turned back into blood, and then healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
His wings suddenly spasmed violently, and the smooth feather membranes disintegrated as if being gnawed by invisible sharp teeth, exposing the growing and wriggling flesh and blood tissue inside.
Thousands of turbid eyeballs bulged out from the cracks in the wing bones, the pupils sometimes contracted into vertical lines, sometimes spinning wildly, and each eyeball reflected the humans in front of it who had hurt Him.
When He descended completely in a brand new posture, His wings of flesh and blood had swelled to the point of covering the sky and the moon, and sticky blood kept dripping from the tips of His wings, corroding boiling holes on the surface of the sea.
The group of eyeballs collectively turned to stare at the battlefields in the direction of Japan. All the red-skinned monsters being stared at were instantly connected to him through silk threads. The dense silk threads connected to his wings, making the eyeball array on the wings even denser.
His originally hazy face now showed countless fine cracks, and deep in the cracks, sharp teeth arranged in a star-shaped ring could be vaguely seen.
“I hope not all gods look like this,” Augustus said with a raised eyebrow.
“Everything is illusory to the mortal eyes. But… stop talking nonsense, you are wasting time. Shut up! I know my limits!”
After transforming into the flesh and blood mode, the suppression power of the fused main soul on other souls seemed to be weakened a lot.
“Sayuri?”
Noguchi asked tentatively.
“There is no Lily, there is only the Son of the Mother Goddess now. Don’t be so foolish as to think that you can use such a despicable method to affect us.”
He spread his wings, and his eyes, like a dense array, made people dizzy.
“Kasahara, it’s time to wake up!” Noguchi ignored him and rushed towards the Son of the Mother Goddess despite the mental pain.
His movements paused imperceptibly, then resumed.
The wings of flesh and blood trembled suddenly, and thousands of eyeballs burst out scarlet rays at the same time.
Noguchi swung his hammer to tear apart the oncoming beams of light, but more rays came at him from tricky angles, and he had to retreat quickly using the Hammer of Judgment as a shield.
The surface of the sea was plowed with countless cuts by the rays, and the smell of burning flesh and blood wafted from the steaming water vapor – those were some unfortunate fish that were directly vaporized in the red light.
“Human laws can’t even protect themselves! They can’t save you either!”
The Son of the Mother Goddess uttered a multi-tone sneer, and three eyeballs suddenly broke away from their wings and shot out.
They twisted and deformed in flight, turning into chains covered with barbs that entangled Noguchi’s ankles. The khaki halo on the Judgment Hammer dimmed instantly, and Noguchi fell from mid-air with a muffled groan. Mr. Li created a piece of ice on the sea surface in time to catch Noguchi.
Ye Jie’s arrows of light rained down like a torrential rain, but when they approached the Son of the Mother Goddess, they were twisted into light dust by the dense silk threads. The broken arm of the angel behind her suddenly twitched violently, and the light became dim.
Upon closer inspection, it was found that after the surrounding silk threads were resolved, the broken silk threads gradually contaminated it, temporarily obscuring its power.
“Director Noguchi!” Hasamu was riding on Carlos and was about to help Noguchi on the ice get rid of the entanglement, but eyeballs broke away from the wings of the Son of the Mother Goddess and rushed towards the crowd like missiles.
