Light Fortress

Chapter 1779 - 419: I’m Waiting for You

"Are you planning to kill me?"

Deep Sea was still smiling at this moment.

"I am going to kill you."

Gu Shen changed one word simply.

It’s not planning to kill, but going to kill.

The former is just a thought, while the latter is an action Gu Shen is about to take.

"Do you know the consequences of killing ’Deep Sea’?"

The man, weakened to the extreme, sat slumped in the shattered cabin. He lifted his head, his gaze piercing through the array patterns, directing upwards to the barrier.

There was a third person here; Bai Xiu was sitting on the Source Energy Boat.

If he died,

Bai Xiu would immediately know.

Gu Shen remained calm, "I will explain to him."

"Would your explanation hold any weight for the death of a general?"

"Perhaps it won’t work for others, but Bai Xiu is different from others."

Gu Shen said plainly, "He will definitely believe what I say."

"From what I know, you and he don’t have much contact. Aren’t you overestimating your relationship with him?"

Deep Sea chuckled and then asked seriously, "Does such trust really exist between humans?"

"Of course."

"At least between me and Little Xiuzi, because I’ve never lied to him."

Chi Huo burned at Gu Shen’s fingertips.

He leisurely rolled up his sleeves, raised his arm, and stretched his muscles, a precursor to take action: "This time is no exception. After taking you down, I will tell him the entire truth of this ’incident’."

"Is that so? Before you act, I need to remind you of one thing..."

Deep Sea said calmly, "You can only kill ’Deep Sea’, but not me."

"Reminding me means you care. If I couldn’t harm you, why bother with such matters?"

Gu Shen laughed, "I know I can’t kill you, but I’m just doing what Rust Bone wanted to do... since he wanted to kill you, there must be a reason. Whatever his reason is, my intuition tells me that the unfinished task of Rust Bone should be finished by me."

"Very well..."

Deep Sea continued, "Aren’t you curious where Rust Bone went?"

"Of course I’m curious, but what’s the use of being curious? You won’t provide an answer for sure."

"..."

This quick exchange between the two temporarily ended with Deep Sea’s silence.

He seemed like he wanted to say something more.

But Gu Shen placed his palm on Deep Sea’s forehead.

A buzzing sound.

A heavy sense of oppression transmitted from Gu Shen’s palm.

Due to Rust Bone striking first, Deep Sea’s mortal form was weakened to the extreme, and his Origin Power was nearly exhausted. This was why Gu Shen chose to set up the barrier; this was a super strong being who had touched the origin, known for his resilience. Even if his origin was severely damaged, Deep Sea’s recovery speed was still rapid.

To take him down, it had to be done quickly!

Once Deep Sea’s "Power of Life Origin" regenerated.

The balance of this fight would tilt again.

Gu Shen had never done such things.

And when his palm touched Deep Sea’s forehead,

"You might not believe this, but... I came here just to see you."

Deep Sea’s voice changed its tone, as he said, chuckling softly, "Before you kill ’Deep Sea’, perhaps we can talk a little more."

"There’s nothing for us to talk about."

Gu Shen straightforwardly refused.

"If you’re not curious about where Rust Bone is, aren’t you curious about Zhou Jiren’s whereabouts?"

Deep Sea used the remaining thread of spirit left in this shell, projecting an image, heavy snow flying, void collapsing and breaking, a vibrant new world appearing on the other side of the portal...

Oasis.

Gu Shen felt a thump in his heart.

He stared fiercely at Deep Sea.

The abrupt and unpredictable disappearance of his teacher and senior sister... the only clue he had was the "scene" seen from the perspective of a giant from the Traveler Tribe.

Even if he dispatched golden spike flowers to search every inch of the [Old World],

there were still no results.

His teacher and the others seemed to have walked into a dream, a dream whose entrance and exit to the real world had been shut... so they could no longer return, existing only in his memory.

At the appearance of this image, a possibility Gu Shen had never considered entered his mind.

The appearance of the "portal" at Moon City Fortress was not a coincidence.

"If you trust my words..."

Deep Sea said calmly, "I can let you see your teacher and senior sister."

"Heh."

Gu Shen couldn’t help but laugh at this nonsense.

Meet his teacher and senior sister?

Though he always believed his teacher was still alive... this promise from Deep Sea’s mouth lacked any credibility. If his teacher indeed met misfortune in the [Old World], wouldn’t letting himself die be considered fulfilling the promise?

"You seem eager to reach some agreement with me."

Gu Shen squinted his eyes and said, "Let me guess, you want me to help you with something... If I’m not mistaken, it’s to implement the Awakening Bill, right?"

"Yes."

Deep Sea answered mechanically, "A massive Source Material Storm is approaching the Five Continents. I need a lot of computing power to upgrade, only then will the human world have a chance to escape complete catastrophic destruction..."

"Tsk, that indeed sounds terrifying."

Gu Shen smiled, "Rest assured, as long as I’m alive, the Awakening Bill will never be enacted smoothly."

Deep Sea remained silent.

Gu Shen’s five fingers covered Deep Sea’s face, and he could feel the latter’s weak breathing: "Are you satisfied with my answer?"
