Chapter 1306 Look, Who’s Here?
“Rustle rustle rustle…”
The golden light seemed like a miracle, infinitely extending the broken bridge. Covered in blood, Lin Qiye stood in the light holding his sword hilt, with endless noise echoing in his ears.
The radiance of the Rainbow Bridge obscured his vision. Both Hela at the other end of the bridge and the Norse gods standing in the sky gradually disappeared before his eyes, leaving only a fading glow.
The Rainbow Bridge,
Had opened.
Lin Qiye glanced at the walkie-talkie at his waist, helplessly released his hands from the sword hilt, and let out a long sigh.
Regardless, he had finally completed the mission Zuo Qing had given him. Even if subsequent developments might be extremely unfavorable to him, even if he might perish alone under the siege of the gods, he had no regrets.
He wondered if Si Xiaonan’s side would succeed…
As the light gradually faded, his vision returned. On the familiar Rainbow Bridge, the Stygian Abyss surged forth like a towering tidal wave, devouring all his light.
The enraged Hela moved like lightning, carrying terrifying divine might as she tore through space, charging straight toward Lin Qiye!
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, glanced back at the bridge surface gradually forming from light, and a look of acceptance appeared in his eyes.
“[Nightfall] Squad member Lin Qiye, mission complete…” he murmured in a voice only he could hear.
Clang——!!
He drew [White Slash] from the ground, gripped the Kusanagi Sword in his hand, and his faltering body took a step forward, standing in front of the Holy Rainbow Sword.
He took a deep breath, mobilizing his last bit of spiritual power, his eyes flashing with the intent to fight to the death!
At this point, he had no room to maneuver. All he could do was buy a little more time for the Rainbow Bridge’s existence… even if just a few seconds.
Just as Lin Qiye was hunching over, preparing for a final death battle with Hela, a gray shadow seemingly crossed the river of time, flying out from behind him at an incomprehensible speed!
In an instant, everything around seemed to slow down.
Floating dust particles froze in the air, ripples in blood pools stopped in concentric circles, and the Norse gods in the sky seemed caught in a time fracture, motionless like statues… The gentle breeze from Lin Qiye’s clothes hadn’t even risen before it was caught in the whirlwind of a single person’s movement, creating a crack in the swirling Stygian death energy!
An elderly figure in gray clothes with white hair appeared before the Stygian Abyss,
The snow-white long blade at his waist slowly unsheathed…
Brilliant blade light cut through the Stygian death energy, colliding with Hela who was charging like lightning. An earth-shattering boom erupted from the middle of the Rainbow Bridge, the gust nearly blowing Lin Qiye’s injured form off the bridge.
He shielded his face with his elbow, his pupils contracting involuntarily as he stared in shock at the gray-clothed, white-haired figure!
That was…
Boom——!!
The gray figure’s long blade deflected Hela’s form, and both retreated several steps. Seeing his face, Hela’s expression changed dramatically, filled with disbelief:
“A human?”
“Cough cough cough cough cough…”
The gray figure bent slightly while holding his blade, coughing violently, his silver-white hair floating gently. After taking a deep breath, he weakly spoke:
“Former [Mask] Squad Captain, humanity’s ceiling of the Great Xia, Wang Mian… greets the Queen of the Underworld.”
Wang Mian’s voice was weak and he spoke slowly, but somehow, a piercing killing intent emanated from his words.
Wang Mian!
Hearing this familiar voice, unprecedented light appeared in Lin Qiye’s eyes!
“Wang Mian!” Lin Qiye stood before the Holy Rainbow Sword, calling out anxiously, “Why are you here? How is Great Xia?”
Wang Mian turned back, glanced at him, and a gentle smile curved his lips:
“Don’t worry, Great Xia is fine… cough cough… We fought the Olympian gods all night and have basically gained the upper hand…
The Heavenly Court gods are now guarding Great Xia, and those of us who could be spared came immediately…”
“Those of us?” Lin Qiye was stunned.
“Yes, they’re right behind me, it’s just that… I’m faster.”
Wang Mian coughed a few times, then turned back to face Hela, his [Yi Yuan] blade emitting a slight hum.
“No matter how many ants come, they’re still just ants,” Hela said, her face extremely grim. “Without the gods of Great Xia, what waves can you few make?”
The Stygian death energy surged around Hela again, countless bones churning forth as she flickered and charged toward Wang Mian!
“Go pull out that sword!” Hela shouted to the sky.
The Loki-aligned gods suspended in the sky all attacked at once. Five or six streaks of light cut through the clouds, rushing toward Lin Qiye who stood guard before the Holy Rainbow Sword!
“Light.” Balder, God of Light, stood beneath the firmament and pointed a finger downward.
Countless golden sword shadows condensed around him, like a rain of light swords purifying the world, descending toward the middle section of the Rainbow Bridge.
“Ding ding ding ding…”
The crisp sound of bells suddenly came from the void behind Lin Qiye. A carriage materialized, suddenly floating up to hover above Lin Qiye.
The scenery around the carriage changed, and an illusory garden full of birdsong and fragrant flowers ignited like a prairie fire in the sky, swallowing the rain of swords, not a single one falling on Lin Qiye’s head.
“Master Chen?!” Lin Qiye exclaimed with delight.
A green light followed closely behind, circling in the air before finally landing in front of Lin Qiye.
Zuo Qing, wearing a dark red cape, slowly walked out.
“Commander Zuo?” Lin Qiye was stunned. “You came personally?”
“Of course. Great Xia is protected by its gods, so we don’t need to worry about that… I haven’t left Great Xia for many years, so this is a good opportunity to get some exercise.” Zuo Qing smiled and patted Lin Qiye’s shoulder.
“I knew that even if you couldn’t contact me, you would follow the plan and open the door…
You did very well, Qiye.”
“Commander Zuo, that walkie-talkie…”
“Last night while fighting the sun god Apollo, I accidentally let him burn the walkie-talkie.” Zuo Qing said helplessly.
Lin Qiye: …
“But, Commander Zuo… this is Asgard!” Lin Qiye couldn’t help saying. “Without the gods of Great Xia, relying just on humanity’s ceiling… can we succeed?”
“Destroying Asgard in one go would be quite difficult, but we’ve made thorough preparations this time. At the very least, we must kill Loki.”
“But without gods, there are no laws. How can we kill Loki?”
“Don’t worry, before coming, we called three Great Xia gods to preside, and besides that…”
Zuo Qing’s lips curved upward slightly. He turned his head toward the other side of the Rainbow Bridge and raised his chin.
“Look who’s here?”
Lin Qiye followed his gaze, his pupils suddenly contracting!
Ding——!!!
A clear sword chime came from the misty mountain peak, instantly echoing throughout the entire sky!
Sword intent surged to the heavens!
