Chapter 154: Battle with the Ferryman

Chapter 154: Battle with the Ferryman

The video continues, and the captain immediately retorts, "But how can this be considered a rescue? It's just an excuse for you to justify yourself."

"What do you mean by minority or majority? Human life is not something that can be put on the scale at will! You have no right to decide a person's life or death."

The ferryman was "too naive. The ability of a pair of hands is limited. If you want to save more people, you are bound to give up some people."

"Like, let's start by giving up on you."

The ferryman smiled slightly, and a sharp blade appeared and pressed against the captain's throat.

The next moment, a flash of lightning cut the blade in half.

Brownie "Hey, I got here just in time!"

The drone drew a happy arc, and the first to run in were Brownie and Sirin, followed by Himeko (bubble), Kallen (bubble), Yae Kasumi and Delta.

[Paimon] "Great, Miss Delta and the others are here to help the Captain."

[Bai Xier] "I was really scared when the ferryman put the sharp knife to the captain's throat just now."

[Rosalia] "Everyone is almost here. Does that mean we're going to fight right away?"

[Lilia] "Silly Rosalia, of course it is."

[Brownie] "By the way, I don't think I've heard you thank me for that..."

[Captain] "Well, thanks to your timely arrival, I didn't die."

[Sirin] "Even if we are late, Captain, you can still avoid this attack."

[Captain] "How could that be? If you weren't here, the ferryman would probably launch an even more ferocious attack. I might not be able to dodge it then..."

[Rosehip] "Captain, you are too modest. You should know that he was waiting for Brownie and the others on purpose."

In the video, Yae Kasumi advised the ferryman, "Stop it, ferryman."

The ferryman was not panicked when he saw that everyone was present. "Is this your choice? Great, great. It saves me the trouble of sorting them out one by one."

Then, the ferryman smiled bitterly and took out the ether singularity from his black robe.

Xilin reminded everyone, "Be careful, don't let him ignite the ether singularity!"

Ferryman: "Then, next, I will invite you to witness my ideal."

Afterwards, the space of the entire bridge began to tear apart, and the surroundings of the captain and others changed, and they came to a strange space called [Ideal].

What appeared before the captain and his companions was the extremely strengthened imaginary god's skeleton - Nihilism, whose name was [Reversing the Hour Hand in Futile Action]. Before the captain and his companions could react, the enemy launched a fierce attack on them.

Seeing this, everyone could only fight back desperately, but no matter what kind of attack, it had no effect on the Virtual God's Skeleton, as if an invincible buff had been activated.

[Fu Hua] "Is this the power brought by igniting the ether singularity?"

[The Book of Cangxuan] "Captain, they are no match at all."

[Kiana] "Come on, Captain! Beat the ferryman down!"

[Bronya] "It's hard to say. After all, the gap in strength is too big. The captain is almost defeated."

[Theresa] "By the way, Kiana, have you recovered? Shouldn't you still be blaming the captain for the punishment just now? Why are you cheering for the captain now?"

[Kiana] "I'm definitely still mad about that~ Humph, the damn captain actually kidnapped my Mei in the future when I wasn't paying attention, but I also hope that the captain can defeat the ferryman and save all the aunts."

[Alicea (Paradise)] "Then Miss Kiana, can you also forgive me for what I did to your Mei in the future..."

[Kiana] "Impossible! You, a pink fat woman, are more dangerous than the captain... Mei~ Don't go to that paradise in the future."

[Raiden Mei] "I probably won't go unless there are special circumstances."

[Alisa (Paradise)] "No, Mei, I'll be very sad if you don't come~ Can you bear to watch a beautiful girl cry? Oh, oh, oh..."

[Sirin] "Although the captain gave us some Senzu beans before we fought the ferryman."

[Delta] "But it's basically all in vain. It's useless except for replenishing your energy. In the end, there aren't many Senzu beans left."

[Captain] "After all, it was very dangerous at that time, so I would like to make some extra guarantees just in case."

In the picture, the ferryman's voice appeared in everyone's mind: "If you want to save everyone, you must be prepared to lose everyone."

The Imaginary God Corpse used a dashing slash to knock down Kallen (Puff) and Himeko (Puff)...

"Abandon meaningless compassion, it will be the mud that hinders your progress."

Then the Imaginary God Corpse teleported to Delta and Yae Kasumi and used the Imaginary Slash on them...

"Abandon meaningless tenderness, it will burden you with futile shackles."

Xilin and Brownie were also slashed by the imaginary blade of the imaginary god skeleton...

"Let go of ties and pursue your ideal."

Then, an imaginary clock appeared under the feet of Guanxing and Mimi...

"Give up your will and be reborn."

Finally, the virtual god's skeleton came to the captain...

"Goodbye, Captain of the Hyperion."

There is no doubt that the captain and his men failed. This was a predetermined outcome. Facing the ferryman who had gained absolute power, it was enough for the captain and his men to have held on until now.

That’s right…enough for that [Plan] to be implemented smoothly.

[Himeko] "It seems that the captain and his men have already found a corresponding strategy."

[Bronya] "It is also within the captain's plan that the ferryman will fail in the face of the burning ether singularity."

[Cole] "Great, there is still hope. When I saw that monster hit the captain just now, I thought the captain and his men had failed..."

[Siegfried] "So this means that the captain lost but not completely."

In the picture, the time went back to two hours ago, on the Hyperion, everyone gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Brownie: "Are we heading in the right direction?"

Kallen (bubble) "Yeah, no problem, I can feel those etheric singularities just ahead, but... can we really stop the ferryman?"

"The other party's situation is unclear and their strength is hard to estimate. I'm afraid it's difficult to draw a conclusion now. I've deduced hundreds of action plans, but there will inevitably be flaws in their implementation."

“Once the ferryman ignites the ether singularity, the consequences will be irreversible.”

Captain: "Perhaps, we don't need to deliberately avoid loopholes."

Stargazing "Oh, do you want to use the ferryman's hand to get to the root of the problem?"

Captain: "Close, but not quite. Remember the purpose of the ferryman."

"Using the energy generated by the ether singularity, we can create a [crack in the world] in the endless ocean..."

"Perhaps I can take this opportunity to enter that narrow gap. Since Yuexia refuses us, I will go there myself and bring her back."

Stargazing "What a bold plan. Do you know what you are talking about? When the ferryman tore open the [crack in the world], the ether singularity was already ignited."

"When you come back, it will be too late."

Rosemary: "Perhaps, it is not irreversible. According to Theresa's findings, the speed of time passing in the [crack in the world] is different from that in reality. If Miss Xilin and I work together to intervene, we may be able to let you [return the original route]."

Xilin: "To put it simply, after you enter the slit, use magic to mark the time, and immediately use [Reverse Construction] to bring you back. We will send you a signal before the time is up."

"These are just some speculations, so...you have to be prepared."

Captain: "Yes, I understand."

Brownie: "When we make enough noise, the ferryman won't have time to pay attention."

Brownie told how he built a big planetarium that Stargazer had kept in the warehouse, which made Stargazer angry, but the captain just smiled.
