Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1552: In the Depths of One's Heart

Suddenly, a black sun rose from the wasteland. The sun was filled with violent energy. The sun continued to expand, sucking in countless insects. The giant bees and the Martian mantis were in mid-air, and nothing could fix their bodies. As long as they appeared near the sun, they would be pulled in. As for the smaller poisonous flies, they were fixed to large creatures like the troop carriers or the fortress worms with their long thorns. The self-destructive ants released from the troop carriers exploded when they collided with the sun.

When the energy in the sun split to its limit, the entire wasteland trembled. Then, all of the energy was released, transforming into flames and gales that swept through the surroundings. A pillar of fire rose up from the wasteland like a volcano erupting. The entire wasteland even distorted. Black ribbons of light appeared in the space. Once these pitch-black spatial cracks touched it, the place where they touched would instantly be annihilated. Countless insects escaped the explosion of the black sun, but they collided head-on with these spatial cracks and turned into corpses.

With four wings wide open, the flying beast rushed forward with Ellen. Alan looked back. The pillar of fire behind him was falling back, and Twilight's aura had also fallen to its peak. The Dark Flame Judgment had consumed most of her Origin Energy, and her battle record was impressive. The army of insects cleared out a large area of blank space, and tens of thousands of insects died under the attack of Twilight. The dark clouds formed by the giant bees and the Martian mantis were much thinner than before. At this moment, burning corpses of insects were still falling from the sky.

Alan turned around and a cold killing intent surged in front of him. He narrowed his eyes and saw a huge figure. Queen Garde flapped her wings and dived like an aircraft carrier in the air. A deep rumble sounded in the air. Under the influence of Empress Garde's aura, the flying beast under Alan felt very uneasy. Alan patted its head and said softly, "That's enough."

He stood up on the flying beast. The wind blew his hair upside down, and the black turtleneck suit in the style of a Baltic was blown to the point of making a hunting sound. Holding the sword in his hand, Black Moon slightly bent his knees, and suddenly propped himself up on the flying beast. He shot towards Empress Garde like a cannonball. The flying beast suddenly sank down and spat out a mouthful of blazing flames, circling around the bees and mantids nearby.

Alan rushed straight forward. The giant bees and mantids that were heading towards him wanted to stop him, but before they could hit Alan, their entire bodies burned. They were ignited by Alan's secret flame aura. As a result, there were countless gray fireballs between him and Queen Garde. After colliding with the last fireball, Queen Garde was no longer blocked in Allen's eyes. The Queen let out a sharp howl from her mouth and raised her arm. Allen raised his sword and gathered his strength. When the two sides were about to meet, the Empress's fist and Allen's sword shot out at the same time. The two fiercely collided in midair, producing a loud and clear sound. A visible sonic wave spread out, and the insects affected by the sonic wave first staggered, then only exploded to death.

"So hard." Alan whispered as his body was thrown away by the reaction force. He connected a few rolls and landed on the back of a Martian mantis. The mantis twisted its body in an attempt to throw Alan off. The latter raised its sword and stabbed the mantis on its back. The mantis immediately stopped moving and its body began to fall. Alan used his strength to leap up, bouncing around among the surrounding flying insects, and then slashed down at the Empress with a condescending sword.

The Empress let out a furious roar and stretched out her fingers to catch Alan. There was a huge disparity between the two figures. In front of the Empress, Alan was as small as an ant, but the Empress did not dare to underestimate him. In her chest, Alice's eyes reflected Alan's face, and she screamed, "Don't stop me!"

His palm was like a mountain, bringing along a crazy fan. Alan narrowed his eyes and shrank in midair. The Empress clasped her hands together before she could hold Alan. Allen suddenly opened his body and his feet glared fiercely at the Emperor's palms. He then ejected from between his closed fingers and shot towards the Empress' chest. He raised the black moon and stabbed down on Queen Garde's plump mountain range. The Empress stabbed him, but Black Moon failed to pierce his chest as he wished. Countless sparks appeared on the insect armor on his chest, and Alan was unable to slide over.

The flying beast flapped its wings and caught Ellen. Ellen crouched on the flying beast, patted its head, and then shot over the Empress. Half empty stomped on a patch of ash fire, and Alan changed direction and landed on the Empress' back. The Empress felt something was amiss, and the limbs turned around and stabbed at Allen. Allen's connection flashed. The Empress knew that she was not as nimble as Alan, so she immediately flew into the air, wanting to throw Alan down.

Alan's feet slipped and the fruit fell down as the Empress had expected. However, there were many gaps in the worm armor on the Empress' back, not as smooth as her chest. Alan stabbed his sword into a crack and hung it on the Empress. The Empress probably knew this as well, and her voice was filled with anger. The wings flapped non-stop, bringing Alan to the other side of the wasteland.

They left the battlefield of the Wilderness. The Empress flew high and low like a fancy flight. She sprinted with all her might and circled in midair. But no matter how he played with it, Allen was determined not to let it go, leaving the Empress helpless.

With the Empress' speed, the wasteland was quickly forgotten. The front had already begun to reach the middle of the Forgotten Realm, and the terrain had begun to rise and fall. From afar, there was a rolling mountain range. Queen Garde flapped her wings as if she had found a savior, pushing her speed to its limit. Just as he was about to hit the mountain peak, he flipped over, wanting to knock Alan down.

Ellen's pupils dilated as he forcefully stepped on the empress and pulled out the black moon. He fell down before hitting the mountain peak. Queen Garde slammed heavily into the mountain peak. The mountain was shattered by the collision. Countless mountain fragments fell like rain, causing snow to rise on the ground. The snow powder turned into white smoke and rose up. In the tumultuous dust, Queen Garde landed on the other side of the mountain. It was huge. Such a collision was uninjured, but it caused her to feel dizzy. The giant bug grabbed the broken mountain and stood up, then searched for Alan's figure.

A black crescent moon suddenly rose from the tumultuous dust. The crescent moon brushed past the Empress' shoulder, bringing along a shard of insect shell fragments. The Empress shouted angrily. Her seven limbs behind her pointed in the direction of the black crescent moon, and beams of light shot out from the ends of her feet. The beam of light continued to shoot out, landing beneath the mountain peak and creating a fireball. After a round of bombing, the entire mountain peak had been razed, and thick smoke billowed everywhere. Spatial Origin Energy's aura was chaotic, and Queen Garde's search for Alan was fruitless. Instantly, she angrily shot at the broken mountain, scratching and scratching at the segments behind her, venting her anger.

"Where are you? Where are you? Quickly come out!" Alice screamed in the Empress' chest.

Alan leaned out from behind a huge rock and frowned as he looked at the Empress who was climbing the mountain. The Empress had already fallen into a berserk state, so it would not be easy to open her chest and bring Alice out. To be honest, Empress Garde could be said to be a super lifeform, but killing it wasn't difficult. Not to mention Ellen, I'm afraid even Devlin can kill it. The Queen's real advantage lay in her dominance of the swarm. As long as it did not die, the swarm could be created continuously and drown the entire planet in numbers. In that case, the Empress should have been created for the purpose of planetary aggression. It was only now that Alice's persistence had made the Empress lose her sense of judgment that she would fight Alan alone.

It wasn't difficult to kill it, but it wasn't easy to bring Alice out of the Empress' state. Even Alan wasn't confident that she wouldn't be hurt at all.

"Wait." Alan suddenly thought of a way.

Spirit warfare.

Alice had taught him the method to start a spiritual war that day in order to meet Sbernak before he could become a Paragon. Spirit warfare didn't require physical contact. If he could use it to suppress Alice and stop Queen Garde from moving, then Alan would have a chance.

In the past, it would not have been easy to accomplish this. After all, Alice herself was a master of mental warfare, but now that she and Queen Garde had interacted, her mind had fallen into a frenzy. This was something that could be ascertained from the previous contact of wills in the Wilderness. In this way, Allen had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

The furious Empress slapped her hand and swept away half of the hill. She raised her head and roared. Suddenly, a will swept over from the foot of the mountain, fiercely smashing into Queen Garde's head, and through the connection of nerves, directly invaded Alice's brain. As a result, the giant insect that had been roaring loudly the previous second quieted down, and it even maintained its posture of fanning the top of the mountain.

Alan took the initiative to wage a mental war, instantly tangling with Alice's will. After a moment of absentmindedness, he felt a warm feeling on his body, and his eyes were even brighter with golden light. After calming down, Alan saw a window. Outside the window was a warm sunshine. The light shone on his body and pulled out a long shadow beneath his feet. He looked around and confirmed that it was in Alice's castle. However, the castle was not old at all. Whether it was the corridor or the pillars, they were as clean as new. There was no such ancient smell in the air. The air here was slightly cold and fresh, far from the old and deep castle that Alice remembered.

A burst of cheerful laughter came from the front of the corridor, followed by the sound of footsteps. Among them, there were also female shouts, but there was a hint of laughter in their voices. Alan raised his head and saw a boy running over from the corridor. He looked like he was five or six years old and had a head of silver hair. His hair was braided behind his head and swayed left and right behind him as the boy ran. The boy's beautiful features were brimming with joy, and he would occasionally turn around and shout, "Come and catch me, mother, come and catch me."

"Don't run, Young Master Bernard." A woman dressed as a maidservant shouted as she smiled.

Beside the maid was a noble woman. She combed her hair beautifully, wore a gemstone-embellished headset, wore a long skirt with a low chest, and wore a necklace on her neck. The blue gemstone on the necklace reflected the sunlight on her chest. It was Alice, and she looked almost the same as she did now. The only difference was that Alice felt very young at this moment. Her brows were not as deep as they were now, nor did they have the faint sadness, anger, and hatred she felt towards Sbernak. At this time, she should be the most beautiful time, young, noble, elegant.
