The last word of "Zhun" was clearly Sera's voice!
Nexus took a step back in surprise, but then his heart was filled with rage.
"You are not allowed to use that voice!"
He flew up and kicked Faust in the chest, but Faust raised his hands to block it. Although he blocked it, the huge force still dragged his whole body backwards for hundreds of meters, and his feet plowed two deep grooves on the ground.
Faust did not get angry but laughed instead.
"You see, this is your darkness. Anger, fear, there is nothing to be ashamed of, Himeya Jun, this is what human beings are like."
"Why are you angry with me? It wasn't me who killed Sera, nor was it the alien beast. Wasn't it the human you were protecting? Admit it, Jun, your current fight is meaningless."
Faust stepped forward, grabbed Nexus' neck without resistance, and lifted his entire body up with one hand.
"It is humans who cannot accept you, and it is humans who make you fall into despair. You have no reason to fight. You have no job, no family, a failed vagrant, the dregs of society. You are such a terrible person, a loser like you, do you still want to represent the light?"
"I don't want to represent light," Nexus grabbed Faust's hand and tried to break free, "I don't fight for Sera. You are right, I am a bad person, so the gods passed this light to me, perhaps as a punishment for me."
"I am willing to accept this punishment until all my sins are redeemed."
Faust's hand loosened in surprise when he heard this, and Nexus took the opportunity to kick it away, regaining his freedom and falling back to the ground.
"Atonement? Why would you be chosen by the light? Shouldn't you be a giant of darkness?"
Faust said it unintentionally, but in this area, besides Faust and Nexus, there is another person.
Ling also knew very well that in the previous timeline she experienced, Jun Himeya was indeed the dark giant, and he was the incarnation of Zaki.
Not only him, but also Goroki and Komon, all of them had chosen the possibility of darkness.
Whether to choose light or darkness is just a matter of thought.
One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a devil.
Chapter 525: The Bound Hanged Man
Giant of Light, if there is no passion for light in your heart, how could a confessor who considers himself a sinner be chosen by Nexus?
Faust doesn't understand.
Of course it didn't understand, because even Himeya Jun himself didn't understand.
This dark space was oppressively eroding all the light. Nexus' light energy was being consumed very drastically.
Nexus and Faust should be equally powerful at present, but because of the dark realm, Nexus was weakened while the other was strengthened.
One decreased and the other increased, so that Himeya was clearly at a disadvantage.
His own Meta domain served the Dark Giant well and instead squeezed his own power.
But Himeya Jun did not cancel the domain.
Because once the domain disappears, the battle will spread outside, the city will be damaged, and many people may even die.
He didn't want to see anyone die anymore.
So he will try his best to destroy the enemy here and will not take a step back!
In the past period of time, he received training in the association, using many virtual monsters as sparring partners, and became much more familiar with Nexus's power. So even though his power was suppressed at the beginning, he was still able to use his skills to resist the opponent again and again and resolve Faust's offensive.
But skills have their limits when there is a huge disparity in power between the two.
"What's wrong? Is this not enough?"
Faust was somewhat unwilling to accept it. He was unwilling that such a guy would be favored by the light. The emotion of "unwilling" filled his fist with anger.
Sometimes anger can indeed make power stronger, so each of its blows is stronger than the last, as if it is increasing endlessly. On the other hand, Nexus can only passively take the beating.
"Why, are you qualified to be the light?"
Am I the shadow of such a weak and feeble fellow?
He had thought there would be a thrilling battle, not such a one-sided devastation.
Grabbing Nexus' ankle that was kicked from the air, Faust swung him in a circle and slammed him to the ground. This heavy blow made Nexus unable to get up for a long time, and his energy light began to flash.
"Too weak, too weak! Why don't you fight with me to your heart's content?"
Nexus knelt on one knee, his fist pressed to the ground. He said nothing, but someone else spoke for him.
"Because Nexus doesn't fight to kill. He stands here to protect, to keep innocent people from getting hurt."
"what?"
Faust was stunned. He didn't expect that there was someone else in this dark area, and he didn't notice anything until the other party spoke.
It was a girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, watching it and Nexus from the sand dunes a few hundred meters away.
A human being, standing on the battlefield between darkness and light.
A weak human being, Faust could easily crush such a fragile life if he wanted to. But it did not move.
I have a premonition that I have no basis in, so I must not act. Otherwise, there will be terrible consequences.
"Negative emotions, anger, and hatred can indeed increase one's strength, but a protective heart will ensure that one will never fall."
Faust didn't understand.
The strong will win, the weak will lose, this is the truth. The so-called protective heart is just nonsense.
It grabbed a ball of energy and threw it at Nexus. The darkness was eternal, and no one could stop it. It was enough to destroy the fragile body of the Giant of Light.
But this attack failed because Nexus deployed an energy shield in front of him to block the darkness.
"What... Humph, only the turtle shell is a little harder!"
I didn't expect that my attack could be blocked so easily.
Himeya was breathing heavily, Ultraman didn't need to breathe, it was just his habit as a human.
He wanted to protect himself, and this shield was his heart at the moment. He could not take a step back. If the shield he had staked everything on was broken, he would really have nothing.
"It's really annoying. So what can you do about this trick?"
Faust shot out the power of darkness, not at Nexus, but at the sky.
This time, the energy merged with the sky of the dark realm, and the power of darkness increased in the shock. Not only Faust's power, but also the polluted light of Nexus became Faust's helper, rapidly increasing the dark energy, and in just a few seconds the increase reached an incredible level.
A storm of energy rained down from the sky, Dark Cluster, which was the name of this skill.
Dozens, nearly a hundred light bombs fell densely.
This time, even Nexus' shield could not block his entire body. His body was hit by dense energy bullets. The continuous heavy blows made the energy lights flash more and more rapidly.
Outside the area, the battle between the Night Raid Team and the alien beasts continues.
The Dark Giant appeared before and blocked the Night Raid Team's attack to kill Baigbazun. Then Nexus appeared and took the Dark Giant away.
Now the battle is back to square one.
Baigbazun had no intention of fighting, as it had not yet grown to its full form. At more than twenty meters tall, it was indeed a giant in normal terms, but compared to the more than fifty meters tall Pedron, it was still just a dwarf.
It just wanted to ambush and trap humans, grow quietly, and had no intention of fighting a decisive battle with the Night Raid Team. It was exposed too early!
So during the fight, it always thought about getting back into the cave.
He Cang also saw what it was thinking.
"Use freezing bombs to restrict its movements!"
The plane is not currently equipped with freezing bullets, but the Dewate gun is.
So, following the order, Gu Men quickly replaced the ammunition as he had trained before, raised his gun and shot at Baigbazun. This shot indeed completely froze the body of the alien beast.
This time, the rectangular shock wave of Chrome Chester δ hit the alien beast directly without any surprise, smashing it into pieces.
Won.
Of course, successfully destroying the alien beast is worth celebrating, but because of the dark giant that just appeared, He Cang was unsure whether the mission was now completed. So he could only ask the command room for advice.
"CIC, we have successfully eliminated the alien beast Baigbazun. Please give us your instructions for the next step."
"Since you've won, come back. I'll leave the rest to M.P and the White Sweepers."
It was Kirarasawa's voice on the other side.
"But, the dark giant before..."
"Well, Nexus has already appeared. Why not just leave it to the giant? Since Assistant Officer Oshima trusts him so much."
Although this was true, Kazukura found it hard to accept that they were completely dependent on the Titans even though there were still enemies.
When the Titan first appeared, it was Kirasawa who said to attack the Titan, and now it is also him who said to completely hand over the enemy to the Titan. Sometimes, Kazukura really doesn't understand the thinking of Chief of Staff Kirasawa.
"Why, do you still want to take a look inside the Meta Realm?"
"No, it's not." Hekura didn't intend to disobey, he just felt a little strange, "Where is Assistant Officer Oshima? What does she think?"
"She? She's missing. Who knows?"
"Missing?"
"She just said she had something to do and left, and she hasn't come back yet. Maybe she fell into the toilet. I don't understand girls' troubles."
This... He Cang actually doesn't understand either.
In that case, we have no choice but to pack up.
At the edge of the forest, Sagara and Chidori could see from afar that their classmates were gathered there, along with a group of people in black suits.
In just half a day, Chidori's worldview changed drastically.
It turns out that there really are such terrible monsters in the world. More importantly, Sosuke Sagara, the transfer student who always said he wanted to protect herself but was thought by her to be a chuunibyou annoying guy, really has been protecting her all along.
For her, he often faced the threats of alien beasts alone.
She didn't know how to thank him. But that was her temper. Sometimes she was too embarrassed to say thank you, and sometimes she couldn't stand the awkwardness.
It was more than just gratitude. Perhaps it was the suspension bridge effect. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis together and being protected by someone, she couldn't help but develop some feelings for Xiangliang.
"Zongsuke, I..."
"It's Sagara-san and Chidori-san, right? I'm glad you're all okay." A woman from the group of people in black suits came over. "We're really lucky. All the missing people have been found. There are no casualties."
This is relatively rare in alien monster attacks.
Chidori was interrupted when she wanted to say something, and she lost the courage to continue talking to Sosuke. She also didn't know who these men in black were.
