บท 273: Chapter 273: This is Respect for the Strong
The other party's actions were rather abrupt.
Lin Fan was so startled he almost couldn't handle it.
"You..."
Lin Fan looked at the old man kneeling on the ground, clutching his trouser leg. He hurriedly helped him up. Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young was broadcast daily on the news, a lesson he and Old Zhang had both learned well.
One-Eyed Man covered his face and sighed helplessly.
Nuchel's actions were too decisive, without any hesitation. He was so surprised he didn't know what to say.
He had completely cut off his last path of retreat.
The meaning was clear.
I can only do this.
There was truly no other way. If there were any other options, he wouldn't have resorted to this.
One-Eyed Man said, "He is the supreme leader of New Germany. His country has been ravaged by a god who calls himself Death. He came here hoping you could help them eliminate this god."
"According to our investigation, Death is different from the Sea God, and much stronger."
He had a purpose in saying this.
He hoped Lin Fan would understand that Death was dangerous and not act impulsively. Even if he refused, there wouldn't be any repercussions. After all, this wasn't something he was obligated to do.
Nuchel looked at Lin Fan pleadingly.
"Is he very strong?" Lin Fan asked.
In the dream realm, his battle with the Lord of the Bizarre had been exciting at first. But as it progressed, he found the Lord of the Bizarre's weaknesses were a bit obvious, unable to keep up with his fighting rhythm. It was a slight imperfection.
And now, the appearance of Death intrigued him.
The most crucial point was the old man kneeling before him.
He felt he shouldn't allow this.
"I can sense benevolence deep within your heart," Lin Fan said.
Nuchel felt at a loss for words. He didn't understand what Lin Fan meant.
One-Eyed Man knew things weren't looking good.
Based on his understanding of Lin Fan, once he said something like this, he was basically agreeing to help.
"I can help you deal with Death. I think he might satisfy me."
Lin Fan smiled, slightly anticipating the challenge.
Xiao Bao said, "I want to go with you too."
"Alright," Lin Fan replied.
He agreed to take Xiao Bao along. It would be a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons and see the world.
"Yay..."
Xiao Bao happily circled Lin Fan, clearly overjoyed. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to actually agree to take him along. He had even prepared himself for Lin Fan to say something like, Xiao Bao, you're still young, you need to stay home.
Nuchel said excitedly, "You are really willing to help me?"
"Yes."
Lin Fan smiled.
This smile felt somewhat unsettling to adults. Looking at it made them uncomfortable, as if a sinister, perverted individual was standing before them.
But at this moment, to Nuchel, this smile was like the sun after the rain, giving him endless hope and warmth.
On the world rankings, several powerful individuals from Longguo occupied spots, but the top position wasn't held by someone from Longguo.
It belonged to the United States' half-cyborg, Apollo, the Sun God.
The fusion of his own power and technology had created a truly formidable being.
Apollo: "Nuchel of New Germany went to Longguo to find that Lin Fan?"
He was curious.
And also quite displeased.
Currently, there were loud calls on the ranking boards.
Everyone was saying the top spot should belong to Lin Fan of Longguo.
A joke.
He, Apollo the Sun God, was such a powerful being, how could he be surpassed? It was simply impossible.
"Yes, according to the reports, Nuchel has met with him, and he has agreed to help deal with Death."
Hearing the reply from his subordinate, Apollo stood up, flexing his metallic arm, a smile appearing on his lips.
"Let's see how he dies. Even I am not confident in facing Death, and him..."
"I don't believe it."
The appearance of Death had put immense pressure on the ranked powerhouses.
They had communicated privately.
If they were to face Anubis, they wouldn't stand a chance.
His methods were too overbearing.
Absolutely terrifying.
New Germany, targeted by Death, was destined for destruction. There was no turning back. Yet, unexpectedly, Nuchel refused to give up,一心想著拯救自己的子民, and actually went to Longguo to seek help.
Previously, the world situation had been relatively stable.
Although the evil beings were powerful, they hadn't reached the level of casually destroying humanity.
But now, with the emergence of these legendary gods, the situation had changed.
The sycophant beside Apollo flattered him, "Exactly, that guy, how could he possibly be Death's opponent? After all, even our greatest war god, Lord Apollo, isn't Death's match, let alone him..."
As he spoke, he felt something was amiss.
I'm supposed to be praising him.
But am I implying Apollo is weak?
He then cautiously glanced at Apollo, noticing that he hadn't sensed anything wrong. It made sense. Apollo was already a cyborg, his brain specially reinforced, which might have affected his intelligence.
So he didn't hear the problem.
Come to think of it, it's very likely.
Yanhai City.
"Chi, you actually came to a human city to find me. Don't tell me you have another new idea?" Demon God Sister lay sideways on the sofa, watching a TV drama, not even glancing at Chi standing there.
Chi looked at her helplessly, "As a Demon God, you are actually captivated by human trinkets. It's a bit..."
"Cut the crap. Just say what you want. This episode is the finale. I have to watch it carefully." Demon God Sister said impatiently.
Chi said, "You should be able to sense it. They are about to return and target this planet. With humanity's current strength, they have no chance of resistance against those guys. I'm preparing to reveal everything to humanity, let them get ready."
"Oh." Demon God Sister replied.
Her response was rather simple.
As if she wasn't paying attention.
"Aren't you worried at all?" Chi asked.
Demon God Sister said, "Didn't humanity produce a strong individual? There's no need to worry."
Chi said, "Indeed, although a strong individual has emerged, he alone cannot contend against them. You should understand this."
Ancient myths weren't fabricated out of thin air.
They were based on real existences.
"I understand, but it's useless to look for me. If you want to reveal everything to humanity, go ahead. I really want to watch my drama. I don't have time to talk to you. Goodbye, don't let the door hit you on the way out." Demon God Sister was extremely impatient.
She hated this kind of situation.
The drama was so good.
But there was always someone babbling in her ear, ruining her mood.
Chi clearly felt like an unwelcome guest.
He could only leave helplessly.
Damn it.
Such a carefree attitude.
Forget it.
He didn't want to bother with it either. He'd wait until that day came.
July 2nd!
"Wow!"
"Lin Fan, look at the scenery below, it's all yellow, it's so beautiful."
Xiao Bao looked out the airplane window, excitedly shouting at Lin Fan.
Despite being the son of a billionaire, he acted like a child who had never seen the world.
His demeanor...perfectly captured.
Old Zhang was basically no different from Xiao Bao. Both were intensely curious about the desert below. Living in a world with evil beings was inherently a helpless situation.
Even traveling required constant vigilance against potential dangers.
At this moment, Nuchel's heart was filled with anticipation and anxiety.
Death was destroying his country.
He didn't know if this powerful individual before him could repel Death.
Gradually...
"I sense an extremely powerful aura."
Lin Fan's expression turned serious. He had sensed it. In the distance, a terrifying aura was surging.
"Where?" Nuchel asked.
Soon...
"Not good, Death is massacring Ao City."
A secretary hurriedly reported the situation.
Nuchel's heart was filled with anxiety, a fire burning within him. At the same time, he was shocked. He hadn't expected Lin Fan to sense Death's location simply by feeling. Perhaps he had made the right choice.
He can truly save my country.
Ao City.
Black mist covered the sky and blotted out the sun.
Outside the city walls, corpses controlled by Death were approaching.
Despair enveloped every citizen.
This city had powerful guardians, but against Death's invasion, they were powerless to stop him.
In the first city, a Heavenly King level expert resided in seclusion.
But what was the final outcome?
A tragic end.
He hadn't lasted long before being killed by Death.
Aolem was a native of Ao City, a powerful individual who had risen from the slums. The reason he hadn't given up on this country was his journey of growth, which had relied on the meager contributions of his fellow slum dwellers.
Therefore, after achieving success in his cultivation, he returned to Ao City and never left, willingly guarding this city.
Now, the capital had been destroyed by Death.
Ao City was one of the few cities temporarily spared from Death's destruction, but now Death had arrived, and death had descended.
"Sir, we cannot withstand Death's invasion." A member said gravely.
Aolem said, "No matter what, even if we know we can't resist, we must hold on. The supreme leader has gone to Longguo to seek help. The powerful individual who defeated the Sea God has agreed to help us. We just need to hold on until then."
The member said, "But can we..."
"No, don't think like that. Believe that we can do it. As long as we have faith, even Death is nothing." Aolem said firmly.
Then he looked gravely at the black mist in the sky.
That was the source of evil.
Anyone enveloped by the black mist would be corroded by Death's power and ultimately become a walking corpse.
Aolem could only endure.
He was the only remaining Heavenly King level expert in the entire country.
He knew the disparity between himself and Death. There was an insurmountable gulf between them. Facing Death, he was like an ant, easily crushed.
But even so, what could he do?
He wasn't afraid.
"Death, you, as a god from our ancient myths, are continuously harming us. What kind of god are you?" Aolem roared angrily.
He was furious.
Learning of the destruction of other cities, his heart ached, but there was nothing he could do. He could only protect this land.
At this moment, his anger didn't elicit a response from Death. To Death, the humans here were insignificant. No one deserved his attention.
The black mist, as if possessing sentience, churned and surged towards Ao City.
Even with Aolem's strength, he still couldn't effectively resist Death's black mist. Perhaps after the black mist engulfed him, he could survive, but the citizens in the city would become walking corpses, completely under Death's control.
"Damn it!"
Aolem was enraged and anxious, unsure of what to do. Death had launched his attack. With his strength, he could naturally resist the black mist, but what about the people in the city?
Just when he was at a loss, a sudden change occurred.
The approaching black mist, as if obstructed, stopped in mid-air.
"Huh!"
"What's going on?"
Aolem looked puzzled.
He had just prepared himself to fight, but now the black mist remained motionless.
Then, his heart skipped a beat. Just now, he had sensed a fighting spirit, yes, a fighting spirit. It was a will that only a powerful individual could exude.
It was a strange and mysterious thing.
Simply put, it was like an aura of dominance.
Then, Aolem was overjoyed.
The being capable of making even Death take notice must be Lin Fan of Longguo, the one who could suppress the Sea God.
Supreme Leader Nuchel had succeeded.
He had brought reinforcements.
"We can live." Aolem said.
The surrounding members all showed expressions of excitement.
When facing Death, they had already prepared to sacrifice themselves. Survival, to them, was an extravagant hope. But now, they felt it was no longer a luxury. Hope had quietly appeared.
Hidden within the black mist, Death was astonished.
A human capable of surprising him.
Such a being shouldn't exist.
So what was going on?
The dog-headed, human-bodied Death, holding his scepter, looked towards the distance with deep, divine eyes, as if trying to see through the newcomer.
Who was it?
Who dared to challenge his divine might?
At this time, Nuchel watched Lin Fan stand up and was quite surprised, not quite understanding what he was doing.
But he didn't say anything.
There must be a reason.
Soon, the secretary whispered in his ear, and Nuchel's expression changed slightly, as if he hadn't expected this. The secretary had just told him that the black mist above Ao City had suddenly stopped moving, as if blocked by something.
Nuchel looked at Lin Fan.
The only one capable of doing this was him.
Then, he heard Lin Fan's voice.
"Truly impressive."
Lin Fan praised.
"Open the plane door. I really want to see him."
He knew the other party was also waiting for him, regarding him as the only worthy opponent.
Nuchel waved his hand, ordering the plane door to be opened.
Although he didn't quite understand why they couldn't wait for the plane to land, how could he comprehend that this was Lin Fan's way of showing respect to the other party? He would respect any strong individual.
Making a strong individual wait was wrong.
Where did he hear these unorthodox ideas? Lin Fan had learned them from television.
In the dream realm, he had seen a martial arts film.
The protagonist challenged a martial arts senior, someone the protagonist deeply respected. Later, when he arrived late, to express his respect, he directly severed his own arm as an apology for his rudeness.
In the end...
The protagonist was killed by the martial arts senior.
Lin Fan didn't care about the ending.
He valued the spirit behind it.
