Gate of Apocalypse

"Confessed?"

When Nicole opened the door to her room, she saw that Tian Lie was still in the room, with an open book spread out on her chest, smiling at her.

"Why are you still here?" Nicole frowned and looked at Tian Lie unhappily, "Get out of here, I'm taking a bath and going to bed."

"I can't help it, curiosity can kill a cat." Tian Lie carefully folded the pages of the book and put them aside: "That guy, he liked you before, didn't he? I'm quite curious, how did he confess to you, and what did you say."

"I refused." Nicole walked into the room, but didn't close the door, and said quietly, "Get out of here."

"Okay-"Tian Lie slowly stood up, walked towards the door, and as he passed by Nicole, he suddenly turned his head and whispered with a bad smile, "I say, you rejected that guy Roddy, should it be ...... Do it for me!"

Nicole suddenly summoned a floating swimmer and began to morph on her side.

"To fight?" Tian Lie bobbed his head: "If you want to do it in a temper, it can't be here. If you make such a big noise before the enemy is found, ......".

But before he could finish his sentence, he saw that the floater did not change into a weapon or armor to attach itself to Nicole's body, but spread out in all directions and became a smooth, transparent mirror.

In the mirror, there was a reflection of Tian Lie's own figure.

"What does this mean?"

Tian Lie looked at himself in the middle of the mirror and blinked twice.

"No offense." Nicole looked at Tian Lie with a serious expression: "I just want to simply ask you to look in the mirror."

......

What Chen Xiaolian experienced after his disappearance was quickly communicated to the rest of the Meteorite Squad by Rody.

Relatively speaking, this was encouraging news.

However, it still had no significance to the current situation of the copy.

The coordinates of the meteorite still didn't show up on the radar, and it could be assumed that the other party must have started a hidden mission 3, which would only be shown by the system after 100 hours.

The other party was originally an S-class expert, and with the meteorite team and Tian Lie Nicole's strength, it wasn't so easy to defeat the other party - it was almost all thanks to Tian Lie, who was also an S-class pervert.

And in the past 100 hours, it was even more difficult to think about how much he could rely on that alien embryo to raise his strength to another level.

But the good news was that in the description of the copy that Qiao Qiao saw, the penalty for failing the mission was not fatal.

After failing a mission, each person would lose 1,000 points, and the reward would be halved for the next three replicas - 1,000 points wasn't a huge amount, but with the Meteorite Team's current ability to get points, it was a bit of a loss to have three consecutive missions with half the reward.

But at least it's not so bad as to break the Meteorite Team's bones, and it's much better than being thrown into a penalty copy, or even just being wiped out.

So if necessary, the meteorite team could also choose to give up the copy, risking a huge loss of points, just to save their own lives.

After two days of searching, Roddy and the others had simply given up on the search.

The guy who took the meteorite had obviously made up his mind to hide himself completely. If that was the case, it would be futile to spend any more time on it, and they might as well simply wait for the protection period given by the system to end.

On the morning of the fifth day, the situation finally changed.

A prompt appeared in everyone's personal system at the same time.

[System prompt.

The protection period will end soon. After 3 hours, the master's location will appear on the personal radar again. Countdown: 2:59:59]

"Finally ......"

After receiving the notice, Roddy was finally relieved.

He had been bored in the hotel for the past few days, and was about to die from suffocation.

His last Sentinel armor had been severely damaged, even losing an arm, and in the past few days, he had removed the parts of another one as spare parts to replace and repair it.

Although all the key parts of the main machine had been strengthened with star sand, the spare parts removed hadn't. So much so that the right arm of the armor had been damaged. So much so that the armor's right arm was covered in white flowers, which looked a bit oddly different from the rest of the painting.

Now, it was time to face the enemy.

There were still three hours to go, but both the meteorite team and Nicole Tenley were already together, sitting in a park not far below the hotel, soaking up the sun and waiting for a radar indication of what was to come.

"The California sun is really nice, though," JoJo lay on the lawn, stretched out and sighed contentedly, "Unfortunately, there's only about two hours left to enjoy it to the fullest."

"There's plenty of time to enjoy after you get this copy done." Tire laughed, "Don't forget, our opponent is S-class."

"An S-rank ...... may not be too much to beat." Roddy smacked his lips and glanced at Tian Lie on the side, "I say, if I remember correctly, you should be S-ranked, right?"

Tian Lie laughed, "But you didn't win easily either."

"Yeah. Nicole's dead. But at least it shows - the S-class isn't unbeatable just yet." Roddy sighed, "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be able to fight alongside you."

"I advise you not to think of things as simple and easy." Tian Lie slowly shook his head, "Do you think that the so-called S-classes are all on the same level?"

"Then tell me." Tire turned his head and looked at Tian Lie, "Do you mean that the opponent we are going to face this time is stronger than you?"

"It's hard to say." Tian Lie hesitated and shook his head, "This guy, Adric, has already become famous many years ago. As the leader of the Dark Knights, his overall strength would never be any worse. It's just that I haven't fought him before, and I don't know how accomplished he is."

"Wait, wait, wait!" Roddy jumped to his feet, "Adric? The Dark Knights? How do you know the opponent is him? And ...... Isn't the Dark Knights the resident team at Zero City!"

After crawling around in the Awakened World for half a year, Rody had naturally gained a lot of insight. Even though Zero City had been extinguished, he had still heard of this name.

"As a former inspector of the Thorn Flower Crew, even if I've never seen a real person, I still have this information." Tian Lie said indifferently, "How could I not know the equipment and skills used by each of Zero City's resident team leaders?"

"They ...... sure are still alive." Roddy's eyes shifted to Nicole, but she just hung her head down and played with a stalk of grass in her hand as if she hadn't heard the conversation at all.

"Okay, tell me about his skills." Tire said evenly, "The more information we can gather before the battle begins, the better it will be for us."

"His fighting style is mainly melee, and through his own skills and the S-grade equipment Soul Devouring Sword in his hand, he is able to directly attack his opponent's soul. Of course, the only drawback is that the weapon must be in direct contact with the opponent's body for it to take effect. However, once hit, the damage is also considerable. In other words-"Tian Lie rolled his eyes: "This guy, a little gram me."

"I'm afraid ...... isn't just a little bit." Roddy sized up Tian Lie: "To be frank, your perverted recovery ability is completely non-existent in front of him."

"Yes." Heavenly Lie nodded his head with a spontaneous and crisp nod.

"Damn, I was expecting you to serve as the main force." Roddy cursed hatefully.

"But his fighting style is closer to that of an assassin. Although the attack power is strong, it may not be as durable as mine." Tian Lie's words still renewed some confidence in Roddy and the others, "And you guys, you're already much stronger than before. Even against Adric, it may not be that you don't have the ability to fight."

"We're still very confident about that." Roddy smiled heedlessly.

For the past six months, relying on the bugs on JoJo, the Meteorite team had been using almost every copy of the team to score points. Now everyone on the team was enough to get at least an A-grade rating.

S-rank is strong, very strong, but that doesn't mean invincible.

Even a near-immortal monster like Tian Lie was killed in the Tokyo copy, wasn't it?

"But what I'm worried about now is what he can get out of that alien meteorite." Tire shook his head, "I don't believe this guy has been just hiding and doing nothing for days."

He only spoke in a speculative tone, but everyone in the meteorite squad knew in their hearts that it was not speculation, but certainty.

The description of the copy JoJo saw made it clear that the Devourer would replace the meteorite endosperm, become the population master, and gain the ability to spread alien genes.

Adric now, but the copy's boss!

A sad siren suddenly sounded on the side of the road. The three of them turned around and saw several police cars on the side of the road with their sirens blaring, speeding away.

Farther away, there was a rising and falling roar of voices.

There seemed to be a change of heart at .......

Tire and the crowd looked at each other, flew up, and walked toward the parked car: "Let's go, catch up, and see what's going on."
