CHAPTER 564: CHAPTER 345: THE DEATH OF THE BLACK COCOON

He saw it, Su Ying’s expression at the last moment, she was clearly scared with a pale face, cold sweat covering her forehead, yet at the very end, she bowed her head and hugged him tightly, showing him a smile like always at that moment.

"Qiye, Xiaomai, mom loves you..." she whispered near his ear, at that moment a beam of light descended from the sky, everything was swallowed together with the mother’s gentle words in a world like extreme daylight.

Gu Qiye couldn’t open his eyes, couldn’t see anything, couldn’t hear anything, only felt the figure he was holding tightly was disappearing.

He reached out at the last moment, only to grasp a void.

...

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Qiye’s black pupils reflected the scenery above the sky.

The meteors had already penetrated the clouds, reaching the peak of the island, then split apart, transforming into thousands of light beams scattering across the island.

Just like five years ago.

Exactly the same.

"I originally didn’t want to use this puppet." The Father of Puppets pressed his hands on the shoulders of the boy in the restraint suit and tilted his head, "This way, the entire deserted island will be destroyed."

"Father..." Gu Qiye lowered his voice.

"I know." Gu Zhuo Case rasped.

Almost at the same moment, Gu Qiye and Gu Zhuo Case sprang from the ground like two beasts bursting into a frenzy, hysterically running forward!

The former transformed into a rampant lightning bolt, galloping in the air, tearing through sandstorms, directly targeting the feet of the Mechanical Buddha;

The latter raised his cloak high, lifted his right arm, the pointer of the distant clock tower violently spun. The pointer landed on the "12 o’clock" position, Gu Zhuo Case’s figure shot up like an arrow!

Time stood still at this moment, all things ceased to breathe, everything silent.

In an instant, Gu Zhuo Case arrived in front of the Mechanical Buddha, a fist covered in mercury color fiercely smashed into its weakest arm, dismantling it, then he spun once in mid-air, a flash of cold silver light sliced off the other arm of the Mechanical Buddha.

Both arms spectacularly broke, collapsed, and fell in the mercury world.

Gu Zhuo Case stood still on the chest of the Mechanical Buddha like a beast, grabbing its two arms by hand, screamed at the sky, then furiously bowed his head, thrusting the two broken arms into the chest of the Mechanical Buddha in one breath!

"Boom—!"

The two sharp and thick broken arms, one up, one down, directly pierced the beating metal heart of the Buddha, countless steam and gears spurted out.

At the moment the heart shattered, the entire Mechanical Buddha was rapidly heating up, its surface visibly turning red.

Gu Zhuo Case’s body fell helplessly to the ground from mid-air, he raised his eyes to look at the young man cloaked in black lightning, hoarsely murmured:

"It’s up to you... Qiye."

Time resumed its flow, Gu Qiye became a lightning bolt running along the body of the Mechanical Buddha upwards, currents frenziedly poured from his hands, merging into two chaotic swords!

Like fire wildly ferocious, yet like water gently soothing, deep blue and pitch black woven and throbbed on the sword body, arcs instantly filled Gu Qiye’s entire body, lighting up his pupils.

At this moment, he understood the true use of his superpower, combining the two currents within his body—the softness of the deep blue current and the ferocity of the pitch black current.

When the two merged at that instant, the efficiency of electricity utilization reached its peak, no longer dispersing recklessly outward, but concentrating all the power, finally the black current would ignite the blue current.

At this time, the blue-black intertwined lightning suddenly contracted, focused at the tip of the sword.

In the silent world, he ran silently, crossing over the feet of the Mechanical Buddha, running upwards along its waist, crossing over its shattered chest.

For some reason...

Gu Qiye felt like time in his eyes was passing very slowly, very slowly...

At this moment countless meteor beams were falling from the sky, the night being dyed into daylight, even the clear brilliance of the moon lost its color.

Just like five years ago.

But at that time, Gu Qiye was only holding his sister, curled powerlessly in the corner of the living room, watching the meteors outside the window getting closer and closer to the ground.

He is not like that anymore.

He is no longer the same.

For five years he has been running every step, never stopping, he runs faster, even a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times faster than the meteor descending from the sky. So, no longer needing to curl up in his mother’s arms, nor needing to watch the most important person die in front of him.

"These five years..." Gu Qiye ran upward like a beast, ferociously staring at the Father of Puppets’ face.

At this moment, the lightning had already run to the Mechanical Buddha’s shoulder, close to the Father of Puppets. The Father of Puppets still placed his hands on the shoulders of the boy in the restraint suit.

In this apocalyptic world, the two met gazes.

"Do you think I’ve been doing nothing these five years——!" Gu Qiye’s roar tore through a moment of silence.

He roared, raged! Stabbed forward with his hand knife composed of the five fingers of his right hand, the fused lightning extended forward along the fingertips, as if pointing straight to the end of the world, finally forming the sharpest spear to pierce through the invisible light screen barrier in front of the boy in the restraint suit!
