Chapter 56 Tough Battle

Is he dead?

Seeing the fallen British captain, Lin Chen shrugged off the magazine, stuffed another armor-piercing single-point round into the empty space, and then adjusted it back to firing position.

Beside it, the "archivist" stood silently, with a pile of human skin books lying on the ground behind it.

There was no one else left at the scene. Those who could be evacuated had already been evacuated, and those who could not be evacuated had become part of the archives.

No one noticed the English captain who was left alone to cover the rear... although his intention probably wasn't to do so.

Lin Chen walked up to the British captain, raised his shotgun, and aimed at his head.

He remembered that when Optimus Prime was on the verge of death, a large amount of blue substance gushed out, while Captain England was still fine.

He's definitely faking death; let's finish him off with two more shots.

"Bang!"

However, just as Lin Chen fired, Captain England suddenly looked up.

The single-pointed armor-piercing projectile was held in place by a powerful magnetic field, hovering in front of Captain England.

"...damn it..."

White and red fragments continued to gush from Captain England's chest, and his wound was surrounded by dark blue cracks, which seemed to be the persistent wounds left by the "Whale's Roar" bomb.

"damn it...!"

Lin Chen fired repeatedly at the British captain, but all the bullets were controlled, hovering in the air and forming a barrage wall.

He watched as the English captain slowly rose, his uniform torn, his metal frame piercing his skin.

"damn it!"

The demigod's eyes blazed with a deep blue light, reflecting Lin Chen's face.

"Damn." Lin Chen's heart sank slightly.

The next second, all the bullets he fired were deflected back by the magnetic field—

"boom----"

Lin Chen used his trench coat to protect his head, but the wall of bullets blasted him away, sending him tumbling several times on the ground.

He got up, looked down, and saw that the indicator light on the edge of the charging vest was glowing red.

I'm almost out of energy...

Lin Chen raised his head and looked at the British captain not far away: he was manipulating the metal between the building structures, and iron bars burst out of the ground like long dragons, instantly turning the "archiver" into a beehive from different angles.

The Foundation mercenaries' weapons were also held aloft by the magnetic field, floating directly at the "archivist":

"Da da da da da da da!!"

After a barrage of flames swept towards the "archivist's" forehead for a full ten seconds, the shirtless British captain leaped up and punched the point on his physical forehead that had been infused with an excessive amount of information.

"Pfft."

The "archivist's" head was torn apart by the violent flow of information. Its body fell to the ground and gradually melted into countless information symbols, which scattered and fled in all directions.

Lin Chen didn't have a moment to mourn his newly made real-life friend, because Captain England had already turned his head towards him.

The demigod's body was now covered in iron spikes, and he trembled, metallic tears streaming from his eyes.

"It hurts... Fuck... Fuck! Damn it...it hurts..."

The demigod staggered toward Lin Chen, raising one hand. The surrounding metal condensed into a spear shape in the air, pointing directly at Lin Chen.

"I'll... kill you!"

Just as Captain England was about to activate the magnetic field, flames suddenly rained down from above—

"boom!!!"

The intense heat, constrained by the wind, enveloped Captain England. He screamed in agony as the metal bones protruding from his body gradually melted.

"Take it!"

The large-caliber revolver landed on the ground. Lin Chen turned his head and saw Jiang Zhengge and the battered Lucy standing high on the file shelf, driving the Spiritual Awareness together.

"There's no time like the present!" Jiang Zhengge shouted. "Kill him!"

Lin Chen picked up the RSH-12 and shrugged off the magazine: a bullet emitting a ghostly blue light was ready to fire.

12.7x55mm "Whale Cry" rounds... Lin Chen almost forgot that this revolver fires a super-large caliber round; Zhan Yi's .338 sniper rifle, converted, is only 8.6mm...

At close range, this shot will hurt a lot.

"He has two hearts," Li Zhanyi's voice came through the earpiece, "I see it... on the right!"

Lin Chen put the magazine back in place, raised his gun, and aimed at Captain England's right chest.

Seemingly sensing Lin Chen's actions, Captain England desperately manipulated the surrounding magnetic field, sending metal rods flying overhead to form a shield to protect him from the flames.

Molten metal dripped onto his body, flowing with a burnt smell, making his screams even more terrifying.

"I can't die here... damn it... I can't..."

Under the demigod's desperate gaze, Lin Chen aimed at his chest.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger—

"Buzz—"

A burst of silvery-white light suddenly erupted, drawing a triangle in front of Lin Chen.

Inside the triangle, Lin Chen saw his own back.

"......!"

What appeared before them was a teleportation portal that led directly to the back of Lin Chen!

Lin Chen quickly lowered his gun: if he had fired just now, the bullet would have gone straight through the portal and hit him in the back!

He would be smashed to pieces by himself!

Almost simultaneously, a triangular door opened above the English captain's head, and then opened again in front of Jiang Zhengge and Lucy.

"Buzz—"

Flames and wind rushed through the portal, instantly sending Jiang Zhengge and Lucy flying.

Lin Chen stood up, walked around the portal, and pointed his gun at Captain England.

Almost simultaneously, he saw another triangular portal open:

"Buzz—"

A hand reached out from the portal and grabbed Captain England's head.

Through the door, Lin Chen saw the person who opened it:

He wore silver armor and a robe that looked like mercury, covered with geometric patterns.

His head was covered by a long, cylindrical silver helmet, its smooth surface gleaming with silver symbols.

Lin Chen's instincts told him that it was a demigod.

A powerful demigod.

So powerful...he absolutely could not fight against it.

"Buzz—"

A flash of silver light appeared, and Lin Chen stopped in his tracks. He saw a lightning-shaped spatial rift lying across his neck, its sharp edges piercing his skin.

If he had taken one more step closer, Lin Chen's carotid artery would have been severed.

He could only watch helplessly as the English captain was dragged through the triangular gate, and then all the cracks disappeared simultaneously.

"......!"

Lin Chen subconsciously wanted to chase after the place where the triangular door had disappeared, when he heard Jiang Zhengge shout:

"Don't move! There's no need to chase! That guy's already crippled!"

For the first time, he sensed a hint of apprehension in Section Chief Jiang's tone.

Lin Chen stopped and watched the two disheveled people slowly walk over from the side, his expression tense.

"Who was that just now?" Lin Chen asked softly.

"Spatial manipulation...teleportation..." Lucy whispered. "Only one demigod has been recorded as possessing such power."

"Did you see what he looked like?" Jiang Zhengge asked Lin Chen.

"I saw it."

Lin Chen gave a brief description of the attire he had seen.

After listening to his description, Jiang Zhengge sighed softly and said:

"Then it's confirmed, it really is him."

"Who?"

Euclid.

Looking at the spot where the silver light disappeared, Jiang Zhengge's expression became complicated.

"Alpha-level demigod, member of the F Council."

"The F Council has entered the fray."

"To protect a demigod who's practically dead... the F Council actually got involved?"

......
