Although the motorbikes were fast, the three Deities were faster
They caught up to the full-speed motorbikes in no time at all, even passing them to block the way ahead.
The four motorbikes stopped.
The young people and the three Deities observed one another.
The three Deities naturally knew these young peopleâs identities.
Recalling the Law Behemothsâ bounty on Shroudâs head, the young people instantly became cautious of these strangers.
Shroud held the Book of Prophesized Destinies in his hand and asked:
âWho are you? Why are you blocking our way?â
âThereâs no one in the wilderness and no food to be found, so when we saw your vehicles, we wanted to hitch a ride and leave this place togetherâ Foresight Deity replied.
Shroud questioned further: âWhich domain did you come from?â
Foresight Deity answered: âWeâre from the Pantheonâ
He turned to Reneedol.
Only to see Reneedol cautiously observing him.
What happened?
She didnât seem like she reacted to âPantheonâ at all...
Shroud said: âWe only have four vehicles; we canât take you with usâ
Scarlet added: âIf I remember correctly, thereâs a small settlement about 300 miles ahead. With your speed, youâll be able to reach that place very quicklyâ
The three Deities exchanged glances.
Poison Deity couldnât help but ask: âReneedol, donât you recognize us?â
The young peopleâs expressions all changed.
They know Reneedol!?
Reneedol remained cautious and asked in return: âIâve never met you all before, why would I know you?â
Poison Deity said: âAll of us were summonedââ-â
âSilence!â Foresight Deity shouted.
Poison Deity stopped talking.
Foresight Deity took two steps forward and stared at Reneedol: âLast night, something big occurred, all the Law Behemoths no longer exists, this world is also undergoing some sort of unprecedented changed, and all of us had forgotten what happened yesterdayâ
âEveryone forgot a lot of thingsâ Reneedol pondered: âIf there was a connection between you all and I, do you have a way to prove that?â
âReneedol!â Shroud worriedly called out.
âItâs ok, Shroud, I also want to know what exactly Iâve forgottenâ Reneedol replied.
Foresight Deity pondered for a while, then stepped aside to make way: âYou should go ahead, weâll think carefully about how to deal with this, then weâll contact you againâ
Reneedol was surprised.
Foresight Deity looked at the young people group and spoke gently: âGo, there arenât many living people in the settlement up ahead, you all should be feeling hungry as well, so go and eat first, weâll search for you laterâ
He gestured to his companions.
Poison Deity and Shadow Deity also stepped aside.
The young people group exchanged glances.
âCome on, we should indeed replenish our staminaâ Gu Qing Shan said.
The motorbikes slowly accelerated and rode away from the three Deities.
Very quickly, the four motorbikes disappeared at the end of the horizon, leaving only a cloud of dust behind.
âForesight Deity, Reneedol seemed to have completely forgotten us, what now?â Poison Deity asked.
âBy combining our powers, we should be able to send information back to the Pantheon, we need the wisdom of the Myriad Deities to thinkââââ
While Foresight Deity was talking, he suddenly stopped.
The three Deities all looked up at the sky.
Only to see a small streak of light descending towards the empty wilderness.
âLetâs take a look!â Foresight Deity said.
âGot it!â
The three Deities leapt forward and quickly ran towards the streak of light.
A few minutes later.
They stood at the border of the crater and looked below.
A broken blade silently laid in the middle of the crater.
The fragments of the blade were still giving off a faint whistling noise.
Foresight Deity leapt down, sat crouched on the ground, then carefully put the fragments of the blade back together.
A faint glow appeared from the blade.
Followed by a long sigh:
ă Too... late... ă
Clankââ-
The fragments scattered everywhere; the blade was broken again.
It no longer gave off any whistling noises, the glow on top of the blade also disappeared for good.
Foresight Deity slowly stood up and said: âThis blade is deadâ
âWhat did it say just now?â Poison Deity couldnât help but ask.
Shadow Deity pondered: âIt seems to be some sort of language that weâve never heard beforeâ
Foresight Deity didnât say anything, he simply picked up the bladeâs hilt and carefully examined it.
At the bottom of the wooden blade hilt, two strange characters were engraved.
Foresight Deity took out something from his chest.
ââ-the blue metallic sphere.
He put the sphere and blade hilt together.
The words [Human realm] were engraved on the blue metal sphere.
Two other characters were engraved on the blade hilt.
âThey look like the same style of writingâ Shadow Deity commented.
âIndeed, this had far surpassed what Iâve imaginedâ
Foresight Deityâs expression slowly became serious, causing Shadow Deity and Poison Deity to also feel inexplicably nervous.
âIn a single night, all the Law Behemoths were dead, all living beings, including Deities like us, had forgotten what occurred, and some strange things would occasionally fall from the skyââ-â Foresight Deity pondered.
âWhat are you trying to say?â Shadow Deity asked.
âWe need to know for sure what happened yesterday, this is very important, extremely crucial, it might be intertwined with the entire Realm of Life and our existence itselfâ Foresight Deity replied.
âBut regardless of what technique we used, we couldnât recall what happened yesterdayâ Poison Deity commented.
The three Deities went silent briefly.
âWe canât wait any longer, letâs contact the Pantheon right nowâ Foresight Deity resolutely said.
Poison Deity and Shadow Deity exchanged glances, then nodded.
...
On the other side.
The young group of four were riding the motorbikes forward.
A few larger trees, fields, and simple houses began to appear in their visions.
Gu Qing Shan patted the motorbike and asked: âHow strong were those people earlier?â
An electronic voice resounded from the motorbike: [According to my sensors, the other party of three would have been able to kill two people among you in one minute]
ââthat would probably be the young Shroud and Scarlet.
To kill Reneedol, they would most likely need to waste a lot of effort.
Gu Qing Shan, on the other hand, can flee by himself.
But what good would that do?
Having forgotten her Pantheon memories, Reneedol would naturally also forget how to exert her original strength, so sheâll need some time to adjust to her powers.
If this Reneedol died, the newly reborn Reneedol would know about he Samsara, causing Shifuâs obscurement to lose its effect.
The Apocalypse would also descend faster!
If another [Siming] appears...
Gu Qing Shan looked at Reneedol and asked in surprise: âHow did you get acquainted with such powerful people?â
Reneedol shook her head: âIâm not sure either, it probably has something to do with my missing memoriesâ
Gu Qing Shan suddenly felt alarms ringing in his mind.
He patted the motorbike again: âI want to reportââ I suspect that the previous people want to kill one or all of usâ
The motorbike didnât respond right away.
Bang!
A miniature sphere was shot into the sky while giving off white smoke.
A few moments later.
Conversing voices could be heard from the motorbikes.
A voice they hadnât heard before spoke: [You have no way to awaken her memories, the memories that youâre missing would also remain missing forever, unable to return]
Foresight Deityâs voice asked: [Then what should we do now?]
[Thatâs right, even when we braved the dangers of returning to the Realm of Life, this trouble occurred, what should we do now?] Poison Deity also asked.
The voice from before replied: [It canât be helped, we can only kill her for the next âherâ to obtain her previous memories, this way, we would learn about what happened]
[Go, kill Reneedol!]
After that, all the voices disappeared.
The group all changed their expressions.
âThey want... to kill meâ Reneedol muttered in shock.
A cold electronic voice resounded:
[Real-time monitoring had been established through orbital drone]
[In accordance to the emergency danger response protocol #232, the following conclusion had been drawn:]
[A homicide case is about to occur; its rate of success has been determined to be 99.5%]
The four motorbikes slowed down, eventually stopping in the middle of the road.
They turned into liquid form, converged together, and began to morph again.
[This device is a retro bike professional racing apparatus, not a combat device. Applying optimal protocol to stall time for you]
[Estimated total time of combat: 3 hours, 21 minutes, 19 seconds]
[Combat result: This device will be completely damaged; the enemy will escape]
Following the electronic voice, a 9-meter-tall mechanical robot appeared in front of the group.
A large canon appeared behind its back, pointing towards the direction they came.
Oong oong oong oongââ
A lot of noise could be heard from the back of the canon.
Right at this moment, three figures appeared at the end of the road.
[Ready] an electronic voice resounded from the robot.
At the very next second.
A blinding flash of light.
The air current around them was heavily disturbed, causing Scarlet to almost be blown away before Gu Qing Shan caught her.
ââfollowed by a deafening noise.
Boom!!!
Dirt and sand filled the air, the road from earlier had completely disappeared.
[They did not dieââ]
[Flee!]
The robot told the group of four.
