Apocalypse Forecast

In the thunderous collision of steel, cracks spread from the silver axe and scythe.

The shattered axe blade flew, and the eye of Horus on the scythe also shattered.

At that moment, Lao Xiao roared.

Both of them, without prior agreement, discarded their broken weapons and once again raised their fists, fiercely colliding. In the roar of the Chimera, Huai Shi dodged a sweeping punch, then raised his five fingers and poked the Chimera's throat, silencing its roar.

Then, with a contraction of his wrist, his raised five fingers suddenly clenched into a fist and struck the Sphinx's forehead with a resounding crash.

This was the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This time, the fragile skull could no longer withstand the impact of the fist, and it shattered amidst a dull sound, almost on the verge of collapse.

But then, Huai Shi suddenly shook, involuntarily bending over as he saw the Chimera's long tail, like an iron hammer, smashing into his abdomen, causing cracks to spread as if it were about to break even steel.

He staggered back, panting for a moment, then lunged forward with Lao Xiao once again.

The battle resumed.

This time, it was no longer a battle of swords and flying in the sky, but a face-to-face fight.

After discarding all irrelevant elements, it returned to the realm of beasts.

Bone against bone, blood against blood!

Every collision, stomp, and punch was accompanied by a burst of thunderous sound, and the moaning sailboat continued to sway, cracking and splitting, with thick smoke rising from the raging flames.

Ashes fell on the shattered armor of the Archangel, and the light in Huai Shi's eyes gradually flickered and dimmed.

In the fierce battle, the endless power seemed to have been squandered, unable to resist the fierce poison of the dark source material. Under the armor, the sense of flesh and blood gradually returned.

He felt the tearing pain, as well as dizziness and fatigue.

But the opponent was no better off. Huai Shi had completely torn off the two annoying tails, and the last head of the Sphinx had been smashed to pieces by him.

Punch, punch, and punch again!

Amidst the thunderous sound, the Archangel, like an indefatigable machine, confronted the Chimera's storm, and then countered with an iron fist!

With a dull sound, the exoskeleton on the Chimera's chest was completely shattered, revealing a scene of devastation inside.

Lao Xiao staggered back a step.

But Huai Shi advanced again, raising his fist once more and striking!

Bang!

"Come on!"

Huai Shi roared, advancing step by step, shaking off the blood on the back of his hand, then clenching it again. The sound of steel rubbing against steel was so fierce. "You've made a lot of preparations, haven't you? Come on, Lao Xiao! Let me see how you can win!"

"Ha, hahaha… hahahaha!"

It seemed that Huai Shi's words amused the Chimera, who laughed heartily, unable to contain his joy. Even when Huai Shi pulled him up and punched him again and again, smashing him into the ruins of the bridge.

"You really—"

Bang!

He suddenly reached out and grabbed the iron fist that Huai Shi had smashed down, slowly tightening his fingers, a fierce smile on his face. "—know nothing at all!"

A loud noise erupted.

As the bestial arm swung, Huai Shi was lifted up, smashed through the floor, and fell into the lower compartment. But then, the Chimera raised his foot and stomped down on his face!

Huai Shi rolled, dodged, staggered to his feet, and gasped violently.

Feeling dizzy, with darkness in front of his eyes, what made him uneasy was Ai Qing's silence, and the burning pain that erupted in his skull, the punishment of the oath.

Even though the chains on his body were shattered, the creed and rules within the source material still existed, and at this moment, with his weakness, they resurfaced, tormenting his soul.

Like cold steel, it struck his consciousness time and time again, making his vision go black.

"Guess, Huai Shi!"

Lao Xiao roared, punching, sending him flying. "Guess why Yaga went crazy!"

Huai Shi retreated, leaving deep marks on the broken deck with his feet.

"Guess!" he roared again. "Why would Koschei go crazy and want to kill everyone on the ship when he feels like he's about to die?"

Boom!

Huai Shi was smashed into the wall.

"Guess again—why, the more people die on this ship, the faster it goes!"

He grinned, raised his foot, and kicked forward with terrifying force, directly smashing Huai Shi through several layers of bulkheads and wedging him into the wall.

"Finally, guess—"

He slowly bent down, picked up Huai Shi's broken axe from the ground, staggered forward, and with a malicious and fierce smile, said, "It's only a night's voyage, but why can't we see the so-called new continent yet?"

Looking down at Huai Shi's face after the broken mask, Lao Xiao shook his head in disappointment.

Slowly raising the axe, he swung it down!

The axe blade stopped abruptly in front of Huai Shi's eyes.

The end of the handle was firmly grasped by a suddenly raised palm, preventing it from inching forward.

"Are you trying to use my axe to chop me?"Huai Shi slowly raised his head and stared at the ferocious face. "Who gave you the confidence?"

The sound of steel friction burst forth.

The axe blade retreated.

Upward.

Between the five fingers lifted by Huai Shi, it moved inch by inch.

In the midst of drowsiness and pain relief, Huai Shi roared, raised his hand fiercely, clenched it, and smashed it on Lao Xiao's face, then, another punch, and another!

Until that disfigured face was smashed into a bloody mess by himself.

Finally, he clenched his fist with all his might.

And swung!

In the roar, Chimera flew backwards, smashed through the cabin, and landed on the pockmarked deck, falling into the flames.

Huai Shi gasped for breath, got up from the ground, dragging the axe, step by step, climbing up.

In the end, he saw the enemy lying on the ground.

Seemingly out of strength.

He leaned on the broken rail, opened his eyes with difficulty, and looked at Huai Shi who was approaching step by step, for some reason, he couldn't help but laugh hoarsely.

"Do you remember a joke?" Huai Shi asked indifferently, "Why don't you tell us, let's all listen together?"

"Is it in front of me?" Lao Xiao gasped, showing a mocking smile, "It's really ironic, Huai Shi, from the beginning... only you, you can't win. Hahaha."

He said, "You can kill me, but you can't escape the curse."

In the midst of drowsiness, Huai Shi's head throbbed, stumbled, gritted his teeth in anger, stepped forward, and asked hoarsely, "A senseless joke? Is that your last words?"

"Is it?"

Lao Xiao raised his head, spat out a mouthful of black blood, sneered, "Do I need to be clearer, Huai Shi? Or why don't you go ask Ai Qing?"

Ai Qing remained silent.

Her eyes lowered.

"Do you see it?" Lao Xiao sneered, "Only you are kept in the dark, no, there's one more."

He stared maliciously at the pale-faced girl behind Huai Shi.

"Give up, Huai Shi."

Lao Xiao shook his head, making a mocking sound, "No matter how you struggle, you can't change the final result... Is it that my question is not simple enough, or you don't want to get results from thinking?"

"It was destined from the beginning—"

He burst into laughter, "On this ship, only one person can reach the new continent!"

This was the silent truth that Ai Qing held.

After the struggle of the gods, they finally made a compromise after various fierce or secretive tests.

The gods could cruelly punish these traitors, and the White Crown King was not generous—he did not want only a tail-tucked tail and a loser in despair.

The obstacles and curses of the gods were what he sought, only through such a cruel and ruthless way could the fugitives completely extinguish their unrealistic fantasies and face the cold reality and fierce fighting.

From the beginning, this ship was not the ideal homeland of the fugitives.

It was a crucible that melted miracles from scum and waste.

One successful person was chosen from a hundred failures, a true strong person was selected from the countless abandoned dust, one who was truly capable of helping himself accomplish his great cause.

This was the curse and blessing of the White Crown Lord.

Among all the sinners on this ship, only one person would receive the special pardon of the White Crown King.

Only one.

When the Mayflower set sail, the final result was already determined, and everything that happened afterwards was just a step towards the inevitable conclusion.

All for the arrival of the final victor.

In that moment of realization, Huai Shi felt a burst of intense pain erupting in his skull, almost unable to stand steady. The violent waves reverberated in his soul.

As if an iron pen was falling, carving unyielding commands into his soul.

Causing him to tremble and roar in agony.

"Do you finally understand, Huai Shi?"

"Then, let's guess again at the end..." he smirked, murmuring softly, "Whose philosopher's stone is this segment of history recorded in?"

In that moment, Huai Shi roared, and the axe blade fell.

Completely shattering his head!

The shattered head rolled to the ground, still retaining the final mocking smile.

"All of Paracelsus will be buried here."

The shattered head raised its eyes from the blood, and lips silently opened and closed, gazing at Huai Shi and Lily with pity. "She died at your hands."

"Abraham Van Helsing, don't forget, this is your mission."

He closed his eyes.

And disintegrated under Huai Shi's axe blade.

In the gradually cooling corpse, the five fingers slowly spread open, revealing the scarred wanderer's coin.

On the coin, the holy image of the archangel gazed indifferently at Huai Shi's face, with a mocking smile.

Huai Shi fell to the ground weakly, unable to grip the axe anymore.Countless voices echoed in his ears, roaring like thunder or whispering softly. The voices of thousands of people overlapped in his consciousness, delivering an irresistible mission.

Kill Paracelsus!

Kill... Lily!

This was the task that Fan Haixin had to complete, this was the ending left in the Philosopher's Stone, this was... everything you once did with your own hands!

In that moment, Huai Shi realized amidst the tearing pain of his soul.

He couldn't help but laugh.

Mocking himself.

As he exerted all his strength to pick up the fallen gun and slowly climbed up from the ground, his eyes became unfamiliar.

It was as if he had awakened from a long dream.

Lily stared at him blankly, for a long time, as if she finally understood something, her pale face still carrying a heartbreaking confusion.

"So... you came to kill me, Huai Shi?"

"Yeah."

Huai Shi nodded, enduring the pain in his skull, his expression gradually becoming fierce.

He slowly raised the handgun.

Aimed at the girl's face.

Shattering her last hope, making her unable to hold back her tears.

"Why...!" she choked out a cry, "I just... I just want to live."

Huai Shi didn't answer.

Just silently gazed at her tearful face, sighed softly after a long time, "Yeah, why is it so difficult to just want a happy life."

He said, "Perhaps... that's just how the world is."

From the beginning, shrouded in the shadow of hell... freedom was nothing but a fleeting illusion, and lowly life was the currency at the fingertips of the gods.

In such a world, where could one find happiness to pursue?

Huai Shi lowered his eyes, feeling something crumbling within his body.

"Sorry, I lied to you."

He murmured softly, this was the final farewell and apology.

Since the beginning, this game had already been destined to end, so now, let it end.

So, the warmth of the past was no more.

Huai Shi, pulled the trigger.
